US chip giant Nvidia to buy UK chip designer Arm for $40 billion-Acquisition will create ‘premier computing company’ for age of artificial intelligence, Nvidia says; US firm plans to expand UK site to ‘build a world-class AI research facility’-By Shoshanna Solomon-SEP 14,20-Today, 11:52 am
US gaming and computer graphics giant Nvidia Corp. said it will buy Cambridge, UK based chip designer Arm Ltd. from SoftBank Group Corp. for as much as $40 billion, in a bid to position itself as a “premier computing company” for the age of artificial intelligence.Nvidia made the announcement of the deal early Monday morning, Israel time.The deal has to potential to “reshape the global semiconductor landscape” and is expected to see “pushback” from regulators and competitors, as it puts the supply of vital chips for product manufacturers under the control of a single player, Reuters said. Nvidia is the biggest US chip firm by market capitalization.“The combination brings together Nvidia’s leading AI computing platform with Arm’s vast ecosystem to create the premier computing company for the age of artificial intelligence, accelerating innovation while expanding into large, high-growth markets,” Nvidia, Arm and SoftBank said in a statement.“AI is the most powerful technology force of our time and has launched a new wave of computing,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia in the statement. “In the years ahead, trillions of computers running AI will create a new internet-of-things that is thousands of times larger than today’s internet-of-people. Our combination will create a company fabulously positioned for the age of AI.”“Uniting NVIDIA’s AI computing capabilities with the vast ecosystem of Arm’s CPU, we can advance computing from the cloud, smartphones, PCs, self-driving cars and robotics, to edge IoT, and expand AI computing to every corner of the globe,” Huang said. A CPU is a central processing unit, the electronic circuits that execute the instructions dictated by a computer program.In April, Nvidia completed the acquisition of Israel’s Mellanox Technologies Ltd. for $7 billion. The acquisition was initially announced on March 11, 2019.Arm will remain headquartered in Cambridge, and Nvidia plans to expand the firm “and build a world-class AI research facility,” that will support developments in healthcare, life sciences, robotics, self-driving cars and other fields, Huang said.To attract researchers and scientists from the UK and around the world to conduct their work there, Nvidia will build “a state-of-the-art AI supercomputer, powered by Arm CPUs,” he said.Arm has developed energy-efficient processor designs that have enabled 180 billion chips to perform intelligent computing calculations. Its technologies now power a range of products, including sensors, smartphones and supercomputers.Nvidia’s Huang said the deal marks “the first time in history the industry could see something that is genuinely alternative” to Intel Corp’s domination of the sector, Reuters reported.
UN expert: Pandemic's worst impacts on poverty yet to come-[Associated Press]-September 14, 2020
GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations independent expert on poverty is warning that the worst impacts from the coronavirus pandemic on poverty are yet to come, and that measures taken by governments to protect people so far have been insufficient.“The social safety nets put into place are full of holes,” said Olivier De Schutter, a Belgian legal scholar appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council as special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.“These current measures are generally short-term, the funding is insufficient and many people will inevitably fall between the cracks,” De Schutter said.His message was directed to world leaders meeting this month for the U.N. General Assembly. He called on them to take more decisive steps to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities, according to a U.N. statement released Friday.De Schutter said the economic downturn resulting from the pandemic is unprecedented in times of peace since the Great Depression in the 1930s.He warned that 176 million additional people worldwide could fall into poverty, with $3.20 per day being used as the poverty baseline.Even though governments have pledged social schemes to help, the world's poorest people are often excluded because they don't have the digital literacy or internet access, he said.In some cases, government programs are now running out.“Families in poverty have by now used up whatever reserves they had and sold their assets,” he said. “The worst impacts of the crisis on poverty are still to come.”
At least 1,000 Hasidim said stuck on Ukraine-Belarus border in pilgrimage chaos-Red Cross provides humanitarian aid to ultra-Orthodox travelers caught in the middle of crossing, unable to proceed to Uman or turn back-By Stuart Winer and TOI staff-sep 15,20-Today, 1:38 pm
At least 1,000 Israelis Bratslav Hasidim are reportedly trapped between the borders of Belarus and Ukraine, in the latest setback to an annual pilgrimage to a venerated rabbi’s grave in Uman that has descend into chaos, as thousands of pilgrims try to beat coronavirus restrictions holding them back.According to the National Secretariat of Bratslav Hasidim, there are around 2,500 pilgrims at the border crossing, with Hebrew media reports saying that while nearly half had left Belarus territory, they were being prevented from entering Ukraine by a strong deployment of armed Ukrainian border guards.The secretariat said there is a shortage of food and water at the site and demanded that the Foreign Ministry immediately intervene, blaming the government for the situation.The Red Cross arrived to distribute food, hot drinks and blankets for the pilgrims, among whom there are entire families including young children.Each year, tens of thousands of pilgrims, mostly from Israel, gather for Rosh Hashanah in Uman, home of the burial place of Rabbi Nachman, an 18th-century luminary and founder of the Bratslav Hasidic movement.Ukraine barred foreign nationals from entering the country throughout September, after Israel’s coronavirus czar, Ronni Gamzu, appealed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in August in an attempt to prevent the pilgrimage in order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.Local authorities have also said they will limit gatherings in Uman for the two-day holiday, which begins Friday night. Still, many pilgrims have already arrived in the country, and though flights between Israel and Ukraine have stopped, some worshipers have been attempting to arrive from other countries by land.Authorities have also warned they plan to set up checkpoints at the entrance to Uman and some 3,000 pilgrims who are still expected to visit the shrine this year will have to test for coronavirus.Belarus last week said it will require Israelis arriving in the country to self-quarantine for two weeks.The Haredim10 website, which caters to the ultra-Orthodox community, reported Tuesday that a rumor claiming the Gomel border crossing was open caused thousands of pilgrims in Belarus to rush to the site on Monday. After some 1,000 were able to exit Belarus, they found themselves confronted by Ukrainian border guards who refused to let them continue into their country.Screen capture from video of the Red Cross distributing humanitarian supplies to Bratslav Hasidim caught at the border between Belarus and Ukraine, September 2020. (Yeshiva World)“A group of 170 Hasidim managed to find a loophole and according to their account, in return for a payment ($3,000 each) various authorities agreed to let them across the border this evening (Monday),” the Bratslav Secretariat statement said. “In practice, as a result of the arrival of hundreds more Hasidim to the border crossing, the Ukrainian border guard deployed forces and the Ukrainian border commander arrived himself to the location to make sure no one enters.”Hasidim who have already left the Belarus border are now stuck at the crossing between the two countries, the statement said. It was not clear why the would-be pilgrims could not return to Belarus.The secretariat said it places full responsibility for the situation on “the government of Israel, its ministers and officials who are hounding the Bratslav Hasidim, and causing them to stand at borders, rejected like refugees on the way to fulfilling their religious beliefs as instructed by their rabbis.”The Kikar Hashabbat website, another ultra-Orthodox outlet, said that Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri has been speaking in recent days with Ukrainian officials in an effort to resolve the pilgrim issue but so far the Ukrainians were not prepared to let them in.Agencies contributed to this report.

UN atomic watchdog: Hopeful of greater trust with Iran-Rafael Grossi, head of International Atomic Energy Agency, says Tehran’s granting inspectors access to two disputed sites could build cooperation-By AP and TOI staff-SEP 14,20-Today, 4:02 pm
The head of the United Nations’ atomic watchdog agency told board members on Monday he is hopeful Iran’s decision to let inspectors into two disputed sites could lead to a more trusting relationship with Tehran.Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in late August secured an agreement with Iran to inspect the two sites where the country is suspected of having stored or used undeclared nuclear material, and possibly having conducted nuclear-related activities.The agreement, which came after Grossi personally visited Tehran to meet with Iranian leaders, ended a months-long impasse over the two locations, thought to be from the early 2000s.Iran had been permitting IAEA inspectors into current nuclear sites agreed upon in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, but had argued the other two sites dated from before the deal so there was no reason to grant access.The IAEA in March identified the two sites as places where Iran may have stored and/or used undeclared nuclear material or undertaken nuclear-related activities without declaring them to international observers.Grossi told the agency’s board of governors in Vienna that inspectors had already visited one site and would visit the other later this month.“I welcome the agreement between the agency and Iran, which I hope will reinforce cooperation and enhance mutual trust,” he said, according to a copy of his prepared remarks.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealing what he says is a nuclear weapons development site in Abadeh, Iran, at the Prime Ministers Office, on September 9, 2019. (Screenshot: YouTube)-One of the sites was reported to be in Abadeh, south of Isfahan — a location that in September 2019 was revealed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the site of an alleged secret nuclear facility.Netanyahu said at the time that Iran had tried to destroy the site and any evidence it had been used to develop nuclear weapons.“Today, we’re revealing that yet another secret nuclear site was exposed in the archives that we brought from Tehran. In this site, Iran conducted experiments to develop nuclear weapons,” he said, showing before and after photographs.The ultimate goal of the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, which Iran insists it does not want to do.Since US President Donald Trump pulled the US unilaterally out of the pact in 2018, Iran has steadily been violating restrictions on the amount of uranium it can enrich and the purity it is allowed to enrich to, and other limits.But one reason the other countries involved — Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia — say that it’s important to maintain the agreement is for the access IAEA inspectors continue to get to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Iran warns US against ‘strategic mistake’ after Trump threat-Government spokesperson says US president made ‘agenda-fueled and dubious remarks’ when he threatened a harsh response to reported assassination plot-By AFP-sep 15,20-Today, 1:50 pm
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran warned the US on Tuesday against making a “strategic mistake” after US President Donald Trump threatened Tehran over reports it planned to avenge the killing of top general Qassem Soleimani.“We hope that they do not make a new strategic mistake and certainly in the case of any strategic mistake, they will witness Iran’s decisive response,” government spokesman Ali Rabiei told a televised news conference.A US media report, quoting unnamed officials, said that an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa was planned before the US presidential election in November.Any attack by Iran, in any form, against the United States will be met with an attack on Iran that will be 1,000 times greater in magnitude!” Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday.Rabiei expressed regret that “the president of a country who has claims to global management and order would make hasty, agenda-fueled and dubious remarks on such a weak basis.He warned that reacting to such reports would “achieve nothing but disruption to the region and to world calm” and advised Trump to “refrain from fresh adventurism… for the sake of winning a new term as president.”US Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks posing with ventilators donated by the US Government, seen at OR Tambo Airport Johannesurg on May 11, 2020 . (Leon Kgoedi, United States Embassy South Africa via AP)On Monday, the foreign ministry denied the report of an assassination plot as “baseless” and part of “repetitive and rotten methods to create an anti-Iranian atmosphere.”Relations between Washington and Tehran have been tense ever since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. They have deteriorated sharply since Trump unilaterally pulled out of a landmark international nuclear deal with Iran in May 2018 and reimposed crippling sanctions.The Iranian navy said last week that it drove off US aircraft that flew close to an area where naval exercises were underway near the sensitive Strait of Hormuz.The military said three US aircraft were detected by air defenses.One of them was a US RQ-4 drone, the same model as one shot down by Iran in June last year after allegedly violating Iranian airspace — a claim the US has denied.
Hamas said to retrieve ammunition from British WWI warship sunk off Gaza coast-Terror group hoped to use explosives and gunpowder from shells to arm and fuel its rockets, but they were unusable, report says-By TOI staff-sep 15,20-Today, 12:13 pm
Naval commandos from the Hamas terror group reportedly succeeded in retrieving a trove of ammunition, including large-caliber naval shells, from a sunken British warship off the coast of the Gaza Strip with the aim of using it to arm itself against Israel.Over a period of several weeks, divers removed the ammunition from HMS M15, which was sunk in 1917 during World War I by a German submarine and now lies about a kilometer northeast of Gaza City, Channel 12 reported Monday.During an exercise, Hamas divers stumbled upon the wreck lying on its side at a depth of 33 meters (18 fathoms), with shells strewn across the ocean floor.An operation was launched to bring the munitions ashore, and then to an underground rocket assembly facility, where they were dismantled by Hamas explosives experts, the report said. The plan was to use the explosives from the shells to arm the warheads of Hamas-produced rockets and recycle the gunpowder propellant for rocket fuel.However, after over 100 years at the bottom of the sea the materials proved to be reportedly unusable.Israel maintains a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip — supported by Egypt as well — which it says is in place to prevent terror groups in the Hamas-controlled territory from smuggling in weapons and explosives. As a result, Hamas has had difficulty obtaining military-grade explosives or rocket fuel materials, resorting instead to producing its own supplies. According to the report, the group had hoped HMS M15 would provide a windfall.Ramy Sadnai, a former Israeli naval commando, said Israel was aware of the existence of the ship.“For many years we planned to dive to it, we had exact maps and appropriate equipment, but each time the security situation prevented us from getting there and diving,” Sadnai told Channel 12. “It simply sank too close to the Gaza coast and regrettably Hamas beat us to it.”HMS M15 was a monitor-type vessel armed with a relatively large 9.2-inch gun capable of firing 170-kilogram shells to a distance of nearly 30 kilometers. Intended for shore bombardment, the ship was involved in the defense of the Suez Canal during World War I. It later shelled Gaza during the Third Battle of Gaza, which ended in an allied victory against Ottoman forces, opening the way to the eventual conquest of Palestine and the resulting British Mandate.
Trump threatens ‘1,000 times greater’ response to any attack by Iran-US president issues warning after reports say Tehran plotting revenge for US killing of top general Qassem Soleimani-By TOI staff-sep 15,20-Today, 8:28 am
US President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Monday over reports it was plotting revenge for the US killing in January of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.“According to press reports, Iran may be planning an assassination, or other attack, against the United States in retaliation for the killing of terrorist leader Soleimani,” Trump wrote on Twitter.“Any attack by Iran, in any form, against the United States will be met with an attack on Iran that will be 1,000 times greater in magnitude!” he warned.The Politico news site reported on Sunday that Iran was planning to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa, Lana Marks.According to press reports, Iran may be planning an assassination, or other attack, against the United States in retaliation for the killing of terrorist leader Soleimani, which was carried out for his planning a future attack, murdering U.S. Troops, and the death & suffering…— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2020-The article, citing US intelligence reports seen by a US government official and another official familiar with the documents, said that Marks was likely chosen due to her closeness to Trump.Iran dismissed the allegation.Iran already retaliated for Soleimani’s killing in January, firing missiles at a US base in Iraq, to which the US did not respond. However, the killing of a US ambassador would likely push an already tense region to war.US officials have said that Tehran was likely to seek to further avenge Soleimani’s death.Marks, 66, a Palm Beach, Florida-based luxury fashion and handbag designer, is a long-time friend of the US president and was a member of Trump’s exclusive Mar-a-Lago club in Florida before she was appointed ambassador in 2018.Marks was born and raised in South Africa and was CEO of the Lana Marks Collections design firm, which caters to celebrities. Born Lana Banks, she grew up in the city of Port Elizabeth, where here family were prominent members of the city’s Jewish community.In this 2012 file photo, Lana Marks and her husband, Dr. Neville Marks, are shown at the 2012 Mental Health Association of Palm Beach County, Inc. Bell Society Dinner at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla. (Meghan McCarthy/Palm Beach Post via AP)Trump ordered the drone strike in Iraq on January 3 that killed Soleimani, the head of the extraterritorial Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and one of Iran’s most powerful officials. At the time, Trump said Soleimani was planning attacks against US troops in the region but White House officials have since given different justifications for the killing, including deterrence.In response to the drone strike, Iran fired volleys of ballistic missiles at Iraqi bases housing US troops. There were no reported casualties at the time but it has since been revealed that dozens of soldiers developed brain injuries from the blasts.However, the Politico report said that Iran still sought further revenge and was considering several targets, including the killing of Marks.It said Marks had been informed of the threats against her, which reportedly involved the Iranian embassy in South Africa.The report said that US officials have been aware of a general threat against Marks since the spring, but the threat had become more specific in recent weeks.The report also noted that Iran runs a clandestine operation in South Africa and Marks may be more vulnerable than envoys in other countries, where the US has better security coordination with local authorities.The strike on Soleimani exacerbated already high tensions between the US and Iran, which have been steadily escalating since Trump withdrew Washington from the 2015 nuclear accord. The agreement, negotiated under the US administration of Barack Obama, had imposed restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.

(AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi)-The US has since imposed crippling sanctions on Iran, including its vital oil and gas industry, pushing the country into an economic crisis that has ignited several waves of sporadic, leaderless protests.Open action by Iran against the US would be a significant departure from the usual methods of the Islamic Republic, which in the past has preferred to use regional proxies to see through its plans.Iran-backed terror groups have often targeted civilians.One such case was the 2012 Lebanese Hezbollah terror group attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria in revenge for the killing by Israel of one of the Iran-backed group’s leaders.Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Monday denied the Politico report. “Such baseless remarks are part of the Trump administration’s counter-intelligence campaign against Iran. The US regime’s resort to allegations and lies against Iran on the threshold of the US presidential election and concurrent with its pressures to use the UN Security Council mechanisms with the aim of increasing pressure on the Iranian nation was predictable,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said, according to the semi-state Fars news site.

Trump's Mideast deals tout 'peace' where there was never war-[Associated Press]-JOSEPH KRAUSS-September 14, 2020
JERUSALEM (AP) — For the first time in more than a quarter-century, a U.S. president will host a signing ceremony between Israelis and Arabs at the White House, billing it as an "historic breakthrough" in a region long known for its stubborn conflicts.But while the optics of Tuesday's event will evoke the groundbreaking agreements that ended decades of war between Israel and neighboring Egypt and Jordan, and that launched the peace process with the Palestinians, the reality is quite different.The United Arab Emirates will establish diplomatic relations with Israel, a fellow U.S. ally it has never gone to war with, formalizing ties that go back several years. The agreement cements an informal alliance against Iran and could pave the way for the UAE to acquire advanced U.S. weapons, while leaving the far more contentious Israeli-Palestinian conflict as intractable as ever.That hasn't stopped President Donald Trump from referring to the UAE deal, which was announced last month, as heralding a “previously unthinkable regional transformation.”A similar agreement announced Friday with Bahrain, which welcomed a visiting Israeli Cabinet minister as early as 1994, also formalizes longstanding ties.The agreement with Bahrain has raised the possibility that Saudi Arabia — the ultimate prize in Israel's normalization drive — could follow suit. Bahrain's Sunni monarchy is closely allied with Saudi Arabia, which helped quash a popular uprising among the island nation's Shiite majority in 2011. Saudi Arabia has quietly acquiesced to the UAE deal, opening its airspace to commercial flights between Israel and the Emirates.But it's debatable whether agreements like these, among already friendly countries, do much to advance regional peace.The region's main conflict pits Israel and the Gulf Arab countries against Iran and its proxies. In the long term, many believe the biggest threat to Israel's survival as a Jewish-majority and democratic state is the conflict with the Palestinians, who may soon outnumber Jews in the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.The Trump administration hopes that as more Arab countries normalize ties with Israel, it will pressure the Palestinians to return to peace negotiations, which ground to a halt more than a decade ago.Over the last three years, Trump has cut off aid to the Palestinians, recognized contested Jerusalem as Israel's capital, dropped the longstanding U.S. opposition to Israeli settlements and released a Mideast plan that overwhelmingly favors Israel.The breakdown of the longstanding Arab consensus that recognition only be granted in return for territorial concessions has meanwhile left the Palestinians arguably more weak, isolated and demoralized than at any point in their history.But rather than cowing Palestinian leaders into submission, those moves have only made them more defiant. President Mahmoud Abbas officially cut all ties to Israel and the U.S. in May and said the Palestinians would no longer be bound by any past agreements. The Palestinians have rejected the UAE and Bahrain deals as a betrayal of their cause and insist no other country has the right to negotiate on their behalf.“Normalization of states in the region with Israel will not change the essence of this conflict, which is the systemic denial of the Palestinian people's inalienable right to freedom and sovereignty,” said Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official.Daniel Shapiro, who served as U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Obama administration, said normalization is a positive step that could potentially improve the prospects for peace.“If it’s used effectively it can be a basis for a renewed effort to generate momentum for two states," said Shapiro, who is now a visiting fellow at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies. "But it has to be led by a U.S. administration that is committed to a two-state solution, and that’s very different from the Trump plan.”Aaron David Miller, a veteran American peace negotiator, said anyone hoping to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "would not have behaved the way this administration has behaved for the last four years.”“I don’t think this is going to make it any easier or in real time bring us any closer to serious negotiations, but I would have argued that before the UAE-Israel deal," said Miller, who is now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.;while Trump's approach has pushed the Palestinians into a corner, it has also vindicated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's longstanding belief that his country can secure its future and avoid international isolation without making any concessions to the Palestinians.For more than three decades, the Palestinians have sought an independent state in east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, territories seized by Israel in the 1967 war with Arab states. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but imposed a blockade after the militant group Hamas seized power two years later.The Trump plan would allow Israel to annex up to 30% of the occupied West Bank, including all of its far-flung Jewish settlements. The Palestinians would be left with scattered enclaves surrounded by Israel, which would have overall security control. Netanyahu pointedly refers to it as an entity “that President Trump defines as a state.”The UAE said its agreement with Israel took annexation off the table, but Netanyahu has said the pause is temporary and that Israel remains committed to the Trump plan.The plan “does not describe a Palestinian state with even a modicum of sovereignty,” Shapiro said. “Fortunately the UAE deal resulted in annexation being taken off the table. Now it’s time to shelve other aspects of the Trump plan.”Former Vice President Joe Biden has promised a more even-handed approach if he is elected in November. He is opposed to annexation and would almost certainly scrap the Trump plan.Trump's reelection would bring even more pressure to bear on the Palestinians, potentially leading them to abandon the two-state solution altogether and demand equal rights in a single binational state.The current Palestinian leadership is opposed to such an outcome, as are the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians, but that could change if Trump and Netanyahu succeed in extinguishing Palestinian hopes for statehood.“The assumption is that the Palestinians have no choice but to accept it,” said Hugh Lovatt, a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.“But actually, the Palestinians do have another choice, which is actually to pivot toward calling for equal rights within one state” he said. “That’s the fundamental weakness and flaw in the Trump vision, is that it misunderstands a lot of these long-term dynamics.”
Ashkenazi praises UAE’s leaders, calls for Palestinians to follow their example-Palestinians should learn from the crown prince’s ‘courageous’ leadership, Israeli foreign minister says in rare interview with Emirati publication-By TOI staff-sep 15,20-Today, 12:46 pm
In a rare interview with an Emirati publication on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Gabi Askhenazi praised the United Arab Emirates’ leadership and called on the Palestinians to learn from the Emirates’ example in normalizing relations with Israel.“The UAE plays an important role in building a prosperous future and long-term stability throughout the Middle East, as the courageous steps of the UAE will help bring in regional development and growth, as well as help to better deal with the challenges of the future,” Askhenazi said.The interview, which was published in the Abu Dhabi-based al-Ittihad newspaper in Arabic, came on the eve of the signing of the UAE-Israel normalization treaty at the White House on Tuesday afternoon. On Friday, US President Donald Trump announced that Bahrain would join the UAE in normalizing relations with Israel.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington on Sunday to sign the accord. The UAE and Bahrain will be represented at the signing ceremony by their foreign ministers, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, respectively.Askhenazi, who will not attend the signing, said that with the UAE and Israel working together, “our potential is limitless.”Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi talks to the media at a news conference in front of the Liebermann Villa at the Wannsee lake in Berlin, Germany, August 27, 2020. (Michele Tantussi/Pool Photo via AP)-He praised UAE Crown Prince Mohammad bin Zayed, whom he called “a brilliant leader who leads his people to prosperity and success through the years.”“With his courageous announcement… His Highness has proven himself to be a first-rate regional and international leader, one who will undoubtedly enter the history books, like other world leaders who brought peace to their people,” Ashkenazi said.“I believe that the treaty deepens the understanding that the time has come to move forward, and that we must not be permanently stuck in the past… I call upon the Palestinian leadership to understand reality, take responsibility and leadership along the same lines as the leaders of the UAE and Bahrain, and return to the negotiating table,” he said.A senior UAE official who spoke to The Times of Israel on Monday echoed similar rhetoric.“[Palestinians] need to want to help themselves as well, and perhaps instead of using the traditional criticisms and curses, they actually look at what we are trying to do,” said Assistant Minister for Cultural and Public Diplomacy Omar Saif Ghobash in an interview.Ashkenazi also said he was hopeful that the deal with the Emirates would usher in a warm peace between peoples rather than a cold peace between governments.“The positive reactions of UAE citizens on social media have filled our hearts with warmth and planted hope within us for security and friendship among peoples,” Askhenazi said.Ghobash echoed that sentiment, saying that he expected to see cultural and student exchanges unfold in the future — and even jumped at the idea of a Birthright-style trip for Emiratis to Israel.“One of the key ideas we agreed to was that this would be a warm peace, and we expect there to be a lot of people-to-people interaction in a way that other forms of peace in the region haven’t been,” Ghobash said.
Bahrain won’t have to abolish Israel boycott law — because it did so years ago-As opposed to UAE, tiny island kingdom withdrew legislation in 2005 after inking free-trade agreement with US; Manama currently busy rescinding other anti-Israel rules-By Raphael Ahren-SEP 14,20-Today, 1:07 pm
Unlike the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain does not have to abolish its law mandating the boycotting of Israel ahead of Tuesday’s historic signing of the so-called Abraham Accord — because it did so years ago.Still, officials in Manama immediately started working on removing certain rules and regulations that curtain formal interactions with Israel after Friday’s announcement that their country was normalizing relations with the Jewish state, according to diplomatic sources.On Monday morning, Bahrain’s minister of industry, commerce and tourism, Zayed Bin Rashid Alzayani, spoke with Israeli Minister of Regional Cooperation Ofir Akunis.“The ministers had a good conversation, congratulated each other on the peace deal being signed tomorrow, and agreed to meet to further cooperation between their ministries,” according to Akunis’s office.Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani arrived in Washington Monday morning to participate in the signing of the UAE-Israel peace agreement. He and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also sign a bilateral “Declaration of Peace.”Israel's Minister of Regional Cooperation @OfirAkunis spoke to @MOICBahrain Zayed Bin Rashid Alzayani.

The agreement, which was signed by US president George W. Bush in May 2004, does not specifically refer to Israel-Bahrain ties but the issue was discussed in the negotiations leading to the pact.“Bahrain recognizes the need to withdraw the primary boycott against Israel and is developing the means to achieve this,” the country’s then-finance minister Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Khalifa said in September 2005.The issue had arisen several times during the negations leading up the signing of the agreement. At a June 2003 press conference, Bahrain’s Abdullah Saif said his country was a member of the World Trade Organizations, which bans all forms of economic boycotts.The Arab League’s boycott of Israel “has been raised” but the matter will become “totally irrelevant” due to the Israel-Palestinian peace process, he said. “This is now at the last stage. As you know, the boycott goes through various stages and now it is almost on the last stage at the Arab League and so Bahrain as a member of the Arab League really encourages this.”Bahrain and five other Arab Gulf states, including the UAE, had stopped enforcing secondary and tertiary boycotts of Israel as early as September 1994, but continued to eschew direct contacts with the Jewish state.A few days after the August 13 announcement about the normalization of ties with Israel, the UAE issued a decree that formally abolished a law boycotting Israel and allowing trade and financial agreements between the two nations.An Emirati official stands near an El Al plane that carried a US-Israeli delegation to the UAE following a normalization accord, upon its arrival at the Abu Dhabi airport, in the first-ever direct flight from Israel to the UAE, on August 31, 2020. (KARIM SAHIB / AFP)The August 29 decision came on the orders of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi and the Emirates’ leader, according state-run WAM news agency.WAM said the new decree allows Israelis and Israeli firms to do business in the UAE and allows for the purchase and trade of Israeli goods.“The decree of the new law comes within the UAE’s efforts to expand diplomatic and commercial cooperation with Israel,” WAM said at the time. It lays out “a roadmap toward launching joint cooperation, leading to bilateral relations by stimulating economic growth and promoting technological innovation.”Netanyahu hailed the move as “an important step in promoting prosperity and peace in the region.”Some Israeli firms had already signed deals with Emirati counterparts. But the repeal of the law widens the likelihood of other joint ventures, such as in aviation, banking, and finance.The decree formally eliminated a 1972 law on the UAE’s books since just after the country’s formation. That law mirrored the widely held stance by Arab nations at that time that recognition of Israel would only come after the Palestinians had an independent state of their own.Agencies and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Netanyahu lands in Washington to sign normalization deals with UAE, Bahrain-PM’s plane touches down at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington; Bahraini foreign minister arrived Sunday, as historic agreements set to be signed Tuesday at White House-By TOI staff-SEP 14,20-Today, 12:07 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed early Monday in the United States ahead of a Tuesday ceremony at the White House where he and the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain will formally establish diplomatic relations — Israel’s third and fourth such treaties with Arab states.Netanyahu’s plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC, after Bahrain’s foreign minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, arrived Sunday evening.The texts of the agreements have not yet been released, but the two Gulf states have agreed to fully normalize ties with Israel, in a US-brokered diplomatic breakthrough widely seen as a dramatic shift in attitudes toward Israel in parts of the Arab world.The normalization of relations with the UAE and Bahrain follow Israel’s treaties with Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.pic.twitter.com/Qx4tfkJwVS— Noa Landau (@noa_landau) September 14, 2020-Calling the trip “historic,” Netanyahu told Israelis in a televised address on Sunday evening that he had brought about “two peace deals in one month,” and said they would mean an economic boon for Israel.“That’s always good, but it’s particularly good during the coronavirus,” he said.Later, when Netanyahu and his wife arrived on the tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport Sunday night, they boarded without speaking to the press. However, Mossad spy agency chief Yossi Cohen briefly chatted with reporters, saying he felt “great excitement” at the trip and expressing hope that other countries would join the UAE and Bahrain in normalizing ties with Israel.“We’re working on it,” he said.The stairs to the flight from Tel Aviv to Washington were adorned with Israeli, American, UAE and Bahraini flags, while the aircraft itself was painted with the word peace in Hebrew, Arabic and English.History: #unitedarabemirates & #Bahrain flags next to the #Israeli flag, outside the @IsraeliPM plane upon his departure to the USA.

(NIR ELIAS / POOL / AFP)-The signing ceremony is still one step short of official ratification under Israeli law, which legal experts have said requires the imprimatur of the cabinet and Knesset for official peace treaties. But support for the agreements is very high in the Knesset and crosses partisan lines, so approval is expected to be overwhelming.Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto will be the only diplomatic leader from the European Union to attend the ceremony, with his office saying he was invited by Trump, according to the Reuters news agency. Szijjarto is part of the far-right government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an avid supporter and ally of Trump.The normalization agreements are vehemently opposed by Palestinian political factions, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah and the Hamas terror group, which jointly called on Sunday for Palestinians to hold a “day of popular rejection” to protest the “shameful” declarations. The events will be held “all across the country” on Tuesday and Friday, according to a statement by the groups. Iran and Turkey have also criticized the Gulf states for recognizing Israel.Netanyahu is being joined by his family on the trip.While the deals are popular among Israelis, the prime minister has drawn criticism for the timing of his flight, which comes as the country braces for a second major coronavirus-induced lockdown set to begin Friday that will see schools and many businesses shuttered for three weeks.Anti-corruption protesters who have demonstrated against Netanyahu for weeks, including outside his official residence in Jerusalem, took their protest to Ben Gurion Airport Sunday evening, briefly closing the main roads into the facility by stopping their cars on the roads.

Netanyahu is 70. As it announced on Sunday that the premier would not take the private jet, the Prime Minister’s Office blamed the outcry on media outlets attempting to “distract” from the peace agreement.Unspecified “strict measures” would be taken to ensure the prime minister’s health on the El Al flight, officials said.Israeli protesters against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outside Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv ahead of the premier’s flight to Washington for the normalization deal signing ceremony with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, taken on September 13, 2020. (Tomer Neuberg/Flash90)-The first normalization agreement, between Israel and the UAE, was announced on August 13 by US President Donald Trump. According to all three governments in a joint statement, the agreement will see the UAE establishing full ties with Israel, thus bringing a longstanding, but mostly covert, relationship into the open.The Israel-Bahrain deal was announced on Friday, when a joint statement released by Trump said Bahrain and Israel would join the September 15 ceremony and sign its own Declaration of Peace with Israel. Bahrain had been seen moving closer to Israel in recent years, and last year hosted the rollout of the economic element of the Trump administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.

Tropical Storm Sally's to strength to hurricane, forecaster says-[Reuters]-September 14, 2020
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Tropical storm Sally will move over the north-central Gulf of Mexico on Monday before becoming a hurricane as it heads toward southeastern Louisiana, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said."Strengthening is expected over the next day or so, and Sally is forecast to become a hurricane by tonight, with additional strengthening possible before the center crosses the northern Gulf Coast," the Miami-based weather forecaster added.The second storm in less than a month to threaten the region, Sally is forecast to strengthen on Monday and bring heavy rains and winds of up to 85 miles per hour (137 km/h).Mississippi and Louisiana issued mandatory evacuation orders to residents of low-lying areas, and Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards appealed for a federal disaster declaration and advised people living in Sally's path to flee.Residents of southwest Louisiana are still clearing debris and tens of thousands of homes are without power after Hurricane Laura left a trail of destruction.Energy companies scrambled to pull workers from offshore oil and gas production platforms. Chevron Corp, Equinor and Murphy Oil Corp shut in wells as a precaution, and refiner Phillips 66 halted processing at its Alliance refinery on the Louisiana coast.At 7 a.m. CDT, Sally was 115 miles southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River, packing winds of 65 miles per hour, according to the NHC.It warned the storm's advance would slow in the next two days, dumping 8- to 16-inches (20-40 cm) on the coast and causing widespread river flooding.(Reporting by Jennifer Hiller and Gary McWilliams; Editing by Steve Orlofsky)
Sally expected to become hurricane Monday night, Paulette slams Bermuda-[Good Morning America]-MAX GOLEMBO-September 14, 2020
The Gulf Coast is on alert for Sally this morning.Sally is a tropical storm this morning with winds of 60 mph and is about 120 miles east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River.Sally does not look very symmetrical at the moment with most of the heavy rain and wind on the right side of the storm.A Hurricane Warning has been issued from Morgan City, Louisiana to the Mississippi and Alabama border.The latest path takes Sally just near the Mouth of the Mississippi River sometime on Tuesday morning as a Category 1 hurricane but, at this time, it’s hard to say if it will make landfall there.The storm is expected to slow down and move toward the Mississippi coastline on Tuesday afternoon and then, possibly, make landfall. This could all change depending on how much it slows down and its turn to the north.Storm surge still remains a big threat even though it will be only a Category 1 storm as it makes landfall.Because of its slow motion, more water could pile up in the bays and inlets along the Gulf Coast so the storm could seem like it is more than Category 1 because of that.Flooding from rainfall is another major threat with Sally because of its slow motion and some areas could see 15 to 20 inches of rain in the next several days with locally some areas seeing even more than 20 inches.Elsewhere, Hurricane Paulette is hitting Bermuda now and the island is small enough that it even fits inside Paulette’s eye.After this morning, Paulette will move quickly away from the island of Bermuda and not threaten any land.Elsewhere in the tropics, we have a new tropical storm and its name is Teddy.Teddy is forecast to become a major hurricane by this weekend as it moves in the general direction of Bermuda but it is too early to say if Bermuda will get hit again.Sally expected to become hurricane Monday night, Paulette slams Bermuda originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
After decades of climate change, 42 square miles of ice broke away from the largest remaining Arctic shelf and shattered-[Business Insider]-mjankowicz@businessinsider.com (Mia Jankowicz)-September 14, 2020
A huge piece of ice broke off the Arctic's largest shelf, Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, in northeast Greenland, this year.The broken section, known as the Spalte Glacier, now floats in pieces.The event has been connected to climate change and record temperature rises in the region in the last couple of years.Satellite images show how the Spalte Glacier shrank and weakened at alarming rates since at least 2013.A 42-square-mile slab of glacier has split off from an ice shelf in Greenland and is breaking into pieces.The dramatic split took place this summer, and represents a huge loss to the world's largest remaining ice shelf.Satellite images show where the huge chunk of ice has left the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden shelf in northeast Greenland.According to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), the process is part of a progressive disintegration following several unusually warm years. 79N is a "tongue" of glacier around 50 miles long by 12.5 miles wide.It is the floating tip of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, where it flows off the edge of the land and onto the sea. A northern offshoot from the stream, known as the Spalte Glacier, is the part that has broken off. PromiceThe once-solid ice now floats in pieces. According to Prof Jason Box of GEUS, it will become a hotspot for the future warming of Greenland. "What makes 79N so important is the way it's attached to the interior ice sheet, and that means that one day — if the climate warms as we expect — this region will probably become one of the major centres of action for the deglaciation of Greenland."Scientists are connecting the event to climate change. Dr Jenny Turton, a researcher into the 79N glacier at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, said that the region's atmosphere has warmed by around 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1980. There were record-breaking temperatures in the area in both 2019 and 2020, Dr Turton said. Since 1999, the 79N ice shelf has lost an area twice the size of Manhattan, according to GEUS.Dr Turton said the warmer summers accelerate the melting, as run-off water from the ice sheet causes rivers and pools on the surface of the "tongue" of the glacier.As they re-freeze in winter, they create additional pressure on the glacier. Warmer sea temperatures below the glacier also contribute to the effect, according to the BBC.

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
U.S.Fires raise fight over climate change before Trump's visit-[Associated Press]-LINDSAY WHITEHURST and SARA CLINE-September 14, 2020
BEAVERCREEK, Ore. (AP) — With crews battling wildfires that have killed at least 35 people, destroyed neighborhoods and enveloped the West Coast in smoke, another fight has emerged: leaders in the Democratic-led states and President Donald Trump have clashed over the role of climate change ahead of his visit Monday to California.California, Oregon and Washington state have seen historic wildfires that have burned faster and farther than ever before. Numerous studies in recent years have linked bigger wildfires in the U.S. to global warming from the burning of coal, oil and gas.The Democratic governors say the fires are a consequence of climate change, while the Trump administration has blamed poor forest management for the flames that have raced through the region and made the air in places like Portland, Oregon, Seattle and San Francisco some of the worst in the world.Scientists say the wildfires are all but inevitable, but that the main drivers are plants and trees drying out due to climate change and more people living closer to areas that burn. Forest thinning and controlled burns have proven challenging to implement on the scale needed to combat those threats.Trump is headed to McClellan Park, a former air base just outside Sacramento, California, White House spokesman Judd Deere said. California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said he would be meeting with Trump.The governors have been blunt: Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Sunday called climate change “a blowtorch over our states in the West."“It is maddening right now that when we have this cosmic challenge to our communities, with the entire West Coast of the United States on fire, to have a president to deny that these are not just wildfires, these are climate fires,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”As Newsom toured a ghostlike landscape destroyed by flames Friday, he called out the “ideological BS” of those who deny the danger.“The debate is over around climate change. Just come to the state of California, observe it with your own eyes,” he said.He noted that just in the last month, California had its hottest August, with world-record-setting heat in Death Valley. It had 14,000 dry lightning strikes that set off hundreds of fires, some that combined into creating five of the 10 largest fires in the state’s recorded history. And it had back-to-back heat waves.Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said about 500,000 acres typically burn each year, but just in the past week, flames have swallowed over a million acres, pointing to long-term drought and recent wild weather swings in the state.“This is truly the bellwether for climate change on the West Coast," she said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation." “And this is a wake-up call for all of us that we have got to do everything in our power to tackle climate change."At a rally in Nevada, Trump blamed the way states have run the land, saying “it is about forest management." White House adviser Peter Navarro echoed that Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” saying that for many years in California, “particularly because of budget cutbacks, there was no inclination to manage our forests.”Forest management, which includes tree thinning and brush clearing, is costly, labor-intensive work that is effective in reducing fuel for wildfires. Millions of dollars are spent on such reduction efforts every year in Western states though many argue more needs to be done. The efforts can also be undercut when homeowners in rural areas don’t undertake similar efforts on their own properties.Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti accused Trump of perpetuating a lie that only forest management can curtail the massive fires seen in recent years. He pointed to drought and the need to reduce carbon emissions.“Talk to a firefighter, if you think that climate change isn’t real," the Democratic mayor said on CNN's “State of the Union."It isn’t clear if global warming caused the dry, windy conditions that have fed the fires in the Pacific Northwest, but a warmer world can increase the likelihood of extreme events and contribute to their severity, said Greg Jones, a professor and research climatologist at Linfield University in McMinnville, Oregon.Warnings of low moisture and strong winds could fan the flames in hard-hit southern Oregon to Northern California and last through Tuesday. Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes as the fast-moving flames turned neighborhoods to nothing but charred rubble and burned-out cars.At least 10 people have been killed in Oregon. Officials have said more people are missing, and the number of fatalities is likely to rise, though they have not said how high the toll could go as they search. In California, 24 people have died, and one person was killed in Washington state.Firefighter Steve McAdoo, who has run from one blaze to another in Oregon for six days, said his neighbors in rural areas outside Portland should clear trees near their homes because a week like they just survived could happen again.“I would think the way the climate is changing, this may not be the last time,” he said.In the small southern Oregon town of Talent, Dave Monroe came back to his burned home, partly hoping he’d find his three cats.“We thought we’d get out of this summer with no fires,” he said. “There is something going on, that’s for sure, man. Every summer we’re burning up.”___Cline reported from Salem.
