Israel will reportedly pay much more than US, EU for Pfizer coronavirus vaccine-American government will be charged $39 for each two-shot dose, and the European bloc even less, but Jerusalem said to agree to pay $56-By STUART WINER and TOI STAFF-nov 16,20-Today, 10:22 am
Israel will pay a premium price for the millions of COVID-19 vaccines it has ordered from US-based pharmaceutical company Pfizer, over 40 percent more than the US government or the European Union, Channel 13 news reported Sunday.In addition, other countries have already closed deals for hundreds of millions of vaccine units from the company, and the under the terms of the contract with Israel, Pfizer has made no commitment to a delivery schedule, according to the report.After Pfizer announced last Monday that the still-experimental vaccine it is developing with Germany-based BioNTech had so far shown 90% effectiveness against the coronavirus in trials, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began a crusade to secure the product for Israel, making at least two phone calls to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. By Friday Netanyahu announced that Israel had closed a deal.As part of the agreement with Pfizer, Netanyahu said Israel would receive 8 million shots, enough to inoculate 4 million Israelis. Netanyahu expressed hope that Pfizer would begin supplying the vaccine in January, pending authorization from health officials in the United States and Israel.Israel has deals with two other pharmaceutical firms for vaccines, and is developing its own version as well, but had reportedly not been intensively engaged in talks with Pfizer before the trial results announcement, putting it at a disadvantage.Israel agreed to pay $56 per Pfizer vaccine immunization, $28 for each of the two shots required, Channel 13 reported.Last week, a European Union official told Reuters that the bloc could order 200 million units of the experimental vaccine and had negotiated to pay something less than the $19.50 that the US has already agreed to pay per shot.The figures show that Israel would pay at least 43% more than the US or the EU for the vaccine.In addition, Pfizer has reportedly made no commitment to meet the schedule. If there are any production limitations, or delays in the shipment, Israel will not be compensated for an advance down payment, the report said.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a televised statement on the signing of a deal to purchase Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine, at IDF military headquarters in Tel Aviv, November 13, 2020. At left is Health Minister Yuli Edelstein. (Kobi Gideon/GPO)-Israel was late joining the line for the Pfizer vaccines. Aside from the EU deal, the US has already ordered 100 million units, Canada tens of millions, and Japan 120 million.A further complication for Israel is that the Pfizer vaccine must be stored, including in transit, at -70 Celsius and the country’s health system currently does not have the kind of mobile freezer units needed to distribute the vaccines, the station said.The Ynet news site reported on Friday that the deal does not obligate Pfizer to supply the vaccines but only states that it intends to do so “according to circumstances.”The report further said Israel will pay a NIS 120 million ($35 million) advance, and another NIS 680 million ($202 million) when the first vaccines arrive. Pfizer will then provide hundreds of thousands of vaccines every month for the duration of 2021. Contrary to Channel 13, Ynet reported that if it fails to supply the vaccines, Pfizer will return Israel’s advance.On Sunday, the CEO of BioNTech, which is working with Pfizer on the vaccine, said they hope to be able to deliver 300 million units by April next year, ramping up supplies by next winter.Israel has already paid a total of NIS 405 million ($120 million) to Moderna, which is in phase 3 of vaccine development, and Arcturus, which is at an early stage in testing, out of about NIS 1 billion ($295 million) set aside for purchasing vaccines, according to the Haaretz daily.Besides the agreements with Moderna and Arcturus, Israel has also inked a deal with Italian biotech firm ReiThera to supply a vaccine if and when developed and is in talks with Russia to purchase a vaccine it is developing.Israel’s Hadassah Medical Center earlier this month said it had preordered 1.5 million units of the Russian vaccine, which is also in Phase 3 testing and which Moscow asserted this week has so far shown to be 92% effective.Israel is also developing its own vaccine, with trials beginning last month.
ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUSVANDALISM, SWASTIKA GRAFFITTI, HARRASSMENT CITED BY STUDENTS-college vows to protect Jewish, pro-Israel students after federal complaint-University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana will work with student groups after Education Department asked to investigate ‘hostile environment of anti-Semitism’-By BEN SALES-NOV 17,20-Today, 4:32 pm
JTA - Weeks after a federal complaint alleged an anti-Semitic climate at the University of Illinois, the university announced it would work with Jewish groups to improve conditions for Jews and pro-Israel students on campus.The campus in Champaign-Urbana, home to 34,000 undergraduates and some 3,000 Jewish undergraduate students, was recently the subject of a legal complaint asking the US Education Department to investigate a “hostile environment of anti-Semitism.” The complaint cited multiple instances of swastika graffiti, vandalism at Jewish centers and harassment of Jewish and pro-Israel students. The Trump administration has directed the Education Department to include Jewish students in its anti-discrimination protections, facilitating such complaints.In September, the school’s student government passed a resolution supporting the Black Lives Matter movement that also included a call to divest from companies that do business with Israel. Jewish organizations in Illinois, including the Chicago Jewish federation, which controls the school’s Hillel center, protested the resolution.Now, the school’s administration has signed a joint statement along with the federation, the school’s Hillel and Chabad and other groups promising to do more to address anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism at the school.“Our shared and common goal must be to support a safe and welcoming environment for Jewish and pro-Israel students at the University of Illinois that is free of discrimination and harassment,” the statement says, also condemning acts that “demonize or delegitimize” Jewish and pro-Israel students.“For many Jewish students, Zionism is an integral part of their identity and their ethnic and ancestral heritage,” the statement says. “These students have the right to openly express identification with Israel. The university will safeguard the abilities of these students, as well as all students, to participate in university-sponsored activities free from discrimination and harassment.”The statement pledges to set up an “Advisory Council on Jewish and Campus Life” made up of students and faculty, as well as representatives of the broader Jewish community, to ensure an inclusive atmosphere on campus. It also pledges to institute educational programming on campus against anti-Semitism and to review its policies to make sure they adequately combat anti-Semitism.The advisory council will begin meeting next semester. The statement says, “Though these steps will further our shared goals, they alone will not effectively dispel the environment that many Jewish students have felt to be unwelcoming.”“Many Jewish students have felt marginalized and excluded from participating equally in campus activities that are aimed at fighting racism and achieving racial justice,” said Mark Rotenberg, vice president for university initiatives and legal affairs at Hillel International, which signed the joint statement. “This is the first time a university has made all of these statements and commitments.”The events at the University of Illinois come amid a national climate in which Jewish students and organizations that support them say campuses are unsafe for Jews and pro-Israel students. Jewish members of student governments have reported being marginalized or pushed out. Last year, 20 percent of Jewish respondents to an American Jewish Committee poll said they or someone they know has faced anti-Semitism on campus over the previous five years.US President Donald Trump shows the executive order he signed combatting anti-Semitism in the US during a Hanukkah reception in the East Room of the White House in Washington, December 11, 2019. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)-Last year, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on anti-Semitism that ordered “robust” enforcement of existing civil rights protections for Jews on campus. Pro-Palestinian groups said the order, and Jewish organizational campaigns against anti-Zionism on campus, seek to silence legitimate criticism of Israel. Complaints have been filed alleging anti-Semitic discrimination at several schools.The Illinois statement comes less than a month after the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, a Jewish legal rights organization, filed a complaint on behalf of Jewish and pro-Israel students with the federal Education Department citing a long list of anti-Semitic incidents on the Illinois campus and claiming that students faced an anti-Semitic climate. The complaint was filed in consultation with the Chicago Jewish federation, called the Jewish United Fund, and Hillel.Soon after the complaint was filed, dozens of Jewish faculty members at the school signed an open letter opposing it. The letter expressed support for the school’s chancellor, Robert Jones. Addressed to Jones, it said the faculty members wanted to offer “unqualified support for you and to acknowledge your leadership in our university’s numerous efforts at creating a more inclusive and mutually respectful climate for all our community members.”The incidents cited in the complaint date back to 2015 and include swastika graffiti, the campus Chabad house’s outdoor menorah being repeatedly vandalized, and mezuzahs being ripped off doorways. In addition, it describes a mandatory diversity training program that praised Leila Khaled, a Palestinian member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which the United States has designated as a terrorist organization.The joint statement does not affect the federal complaint, which has not been withdrawn. But the Brandeis Center and the law firm that assisted with the complaint are both signatories to the joint statement. Rotenberg, whose organization consulted on the complaint, said the complaint acted as a catalyst for the joint statement.“The attention that has now been shown in the examples [of anti-Semitism] has created momentum for the university to work collaboratively with us to take this first important step,” Rotenberg said.A month before the complaint, the school’s undergraduate student government passed the Black Lives Matter resolution along with the clause supporting divestment from companies that do business with Israel. The resolution came after a string of failed attempts in recent years to pass a resolution favoring a boycott of Israel.The university administration released a statement criticizing the resolution, saying, “It is unfortunate that a resolution before the group tonight was designed to force students who oppose efforts to divest from Israel to also vote against support for the Black Lives Matter movement.”The school’s Hillel likewise rejected efforts to boycott Israel, and also objected to the grouping of Black Lives Matter and the Israel boycott, as well as the timing of the resolution, which came between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.“This was an attempt to paint Israel and Jews as the obstacle to racial equity, amidst the holiest time in the Jewish calendar,” the Hillel’s statement said. “The Jewish students refused to submit to this antisemitic litmus test.”You’re serious. We appreciate that!
ANALYSIS-Renovation of Egypt’s ancient Siwa fortress boosts fresh hopes for ecotourism-The EU and an Egyptian environmental company begin a $600,000 restoration project for the site, which suffered from erosion and torrential rains-By HAGER HARABECH-NOV 17,20-Today, 10:57 am
SIWA, Egypt (AFP) — Tucked away in Egypt’s Western Desert, the Shali fortress once protected inhabitants against the incursions of wandering tribes, but now there are hopes its renovation will attract ecotourists.The 13th-century edifice, called “Shali” or “home” in the local Siwi language, was built by Berber populations atop a hill in the pristine Siwa oasis, some 600 kilometers (370 miles) southwest of Cairo.The towering structure is made of kershef — a mixture of clay, salt and rock which acts as a natural insulator in an area where the summer heat can be scorching.After it was worn away by erosion, and then torrential rains almost 100 years ago, the European Union and Egyptian company Environmental Quality International (EQI) began to restore the fortress in 2018, at a cost of over $600,000“Teach your children, and mine, about what ancient Shali means,” sang a choir of young girls in brightly colored robes at the renovated fortress’ inauguration ceremony last week.Egyptian schoolchildren dressed in traditional outfits, gather during a celebration to mark the inauguration of the fortress of Shali following its restoration, in the Egyptian desert oasis of Siwa, some 600 kilometers southwest of the capital Cairo, on November 6, 2020. (Khaled DESOUKI / AFP)-Dotted by thick palm groves, freshwater springs and salt lakes, the Siwa oasis’s geographic and cultural isolation offers a rare eco-friendly getaway, far from Egypt’s bustling urban communities.The region’s tourism model contrasts with Egypt’s mass approach in other areas, such as its Red Sea resorts in the east or along the Nile valley, especially in Luxor and Aswan in the south.Employment opportunities-Tourists began gravitating to Siwa from the 1980s, after the government built roads linking it with the northwestern city of Marsa Matrouh, the provincial capital on the Mediterranean.The Marsa Matrouh governor has called the oasis, registered as a natural reserve since 2002, a “therapeutic and environmental tourism destination.”Eco-lodges offer lush vegetable gardens and kershef facades.Restoration works at the Shali fortress were carried out under the aegis of the Egyptian government, which has been pushing to make Siwa a global “ecotourism destination.”The project also includes setting up a traditional market and a museum on local architecture.“The project will certainly benefit us and bring tourists. Today, I can offer my palm frond products inside Shali,” said Adam Aboulkassem, who sells handicrafts in the fortress.An Egyptian laborer works on the restoration of one of the walls of the fortress of Shali, in the Egyptian desert oasis of Siwa, some 600 kilometers southwest of the capital Cairo, on November 6, 2020. (Khaled DESOUKI / AFP)-EQI project manager Ines al-Moudariss said the materials used in the restoration work were sourced from the fortress site itself.She said the project was about “bringing the inhabitants of Siwa back to their origins and offering them employment opportunities” and services.Events in the past decade outside the desert oasis have had a ripple effect in Siwa, and tourism slumped after political unrest that rocked Egypt and other countries in the Middle East in 2011.Foreign tourist arrivals at the oasis have plummeted from around 20,000 in 2010 to just 3,000, said Mahdi al-Howeiti, director of the local tourism office. Domestic tourism has only partially made up for the sharp decline, he added.Ailing infrastructure.This year, the coronavirus pandemic put a brake on travel worldwide and dealt a further blow to arrivals.And though the project is seen by some as a way to bring back visitors, critics say it fails to address the concerns of the 30,000-strong Siwi population, a Berber ethnic group.“No Siwi goes to Shali. We are attached to it, but from afar, like a landscape,” said Howeiti.He said there were more pressing issues for residents, such as fixing crumbled and unsafe roads or treating agricultural wastewater that harms the cultivation of olives and date palms — key pillars of the local economy.Egyptian school children dressed in traditional outfits, gather during a celebration to mark the inauguration of the fortress of Shali following its restoration, in the Egyptian desert oasis of Siwa, some 600km southwest of the capital Cairo, on November 6, 2020.

Tourism and Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anani said at the inauguration that the fortress was a “cultural asset” and its renovation was “essential.”But he also acknowledged that “we need to work on the infrastructure of the region, the airport and especially the roads.”The closest airport to Siwa, located just 50 kilometers (around 30 miles) from the border with war-torn Libya, is restricted to the military.But some locals remain skeptical.“The fortress was not in danger of collapsing,” said Howeiti. “In my opinion, it would have been better to leave it as it is. These ruins have a history.”
Dozens sneak into evacuated settlement; backers urge government to let them stay-20 families enter Sa-Nur ruins in effort to resettle northern West Bank communities abandoned along with Gaza settlements in 2005 ‘disengagement’-By TOI STAFF-NOV 17,20-Today, 10:31 am
Some 20 Israeli families surreptitiously entered the evacuated settlement of Sa-Nur in the northern West Bank under the cover of darkness early Tuesday, in protest of the government’s refusal to allow them to return permanently to their homes evacuated 13 years ago.The group was made up of former residents of Sa-Nur and Homesh, which — with two other northern West Bank settlements, Ganim and Kadim — were evacuated along with the Jewish settlements of the Gaza Strip in 2005 as part of Israel’s so-called disengagement plan.The group did not coordinate its move with the military, and Israel Defense Forces troops arrived at the hilltop community Tuesday morning to alert the settlers that they were trespassing. The settlers reportedly expect to be forcibly removed later in the day.Under the 2005 Disengagement Plan Implementation Law, the presence of Israeli civilians on the ruins of the four settlements is illegal.While prime minister Ariel Sharon, who planned and executed the disengagement, cleared the northern West Bank communities as a goodwill gesture to the Palestinian Authority, the IDF has still prevented Palestinians from reaching those hilltops.Writing on Twitter, far-right Yamina MK Bezalel Smotrich said that “the resumption of settlement in Sa-Nur is a necessary moral, Zionist and security step.”Calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow the families to stay, Smotrich said, “There was no logical reason to destroy the settlement in the first place and there is no logical reason not to allow its reestablishment.”Yossi Dagan, the head of the Samaria Regional Council, praised the return to the settlement, calling on the government to allow the families to stay and saying in a statement that “it is the right thing to do after it is clear that there is no person left in the State of Israel who believes that this displacement was correct.”On a number of occasions, settlers have attempted to return en masse to Sa-Nur. In July 2015 security forces removed some 200 protesters from the hilltop after they entered to mark the 10th anniversary of its evacuation.Unlike Sa-nur, nearby Homesh has had a near daily — albeit illegal — presence of settlers since the disengagement. Following the 2005 evacuation, a yeshiva was established on the Homesh ruins and, due to minimal IDF enforcement, some 25 students have been ascending the hilltop each day from their caravan dorms in the nearby Shavei Shomron settlement.

UAE’s Etihad formally announces launch of daily direct flights to Israel in 2021-Airline says service will begin on March 28 and ‘cements Etihad’s commitment to growing opportunities for trade and tourism’By AGENCIES and TOI STAFF-NOV 16,20-Today, 11:04 am
Etihad Airways, the United Arab Emirates’ national carrier, announced Monday it will start direct flights to Israel in March 2021 after the countries’ recent agreement to normalize ties.The Abu Dhabi-based airline “will launch daily scheduled year-round flights to Tel Aviv,” it said in a statement.It added the service will begin on March 28 — approximately six months after the UAE signed a US-brokered deal to formalize relations with Israel, the first such accord between a Gulf nation and the Jewish state.“The commencement of scheduled flights is a historic moment and as an airline, cements Etihad’s commitment to growing opportunities for trade and tourism,” said Mohammad al-Bulooki, chief operating officer of Etihad Aviation Group, according to the statement.Last month an Etihad flight lauded as the first commercial shuttle between the two countries landed at Ben Gurion airport, before departing for Abu Dhabi later that day with an Israeli travel and tourism delegation on board.Dubai’s budget airline flydubai had already announced that it would start direct flights to Tel Aviv this month, operating 14 flights a week.Unlike Dubai and the other emirates that make up the UAE, Abu Dhabi has placed stringent coronavirus restrictions on entering the city.Israeli carrier Israir has announced that it will offer direct flights from Ben Gurion Airport to Abu Dhabi and Israeli national carrier El Al will also reportedly offer flights on the route.With their economies hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, the UAE and Israel are hoping for rapid dividends from the normalization deal.They have already signed treaties on direct flights, along with accords on investment protection, science and technology.Earlier this month, Abu Dhabi gave its final okay to a visa exemption program with Israel.The agreement still must be ratified by the Israeli cabinet and Knesset before it enters into force. The Knesset last month approved Israel’s normalization deal with the UAE by an overwhelming majority, all but ensuring that the visa program will be confirmed in the near future.Despite that, with a few exceptions, non-Israeli tourists are currently not permitted to enter Israel under coronavirus restrictions, although the UAE is classified as a “green” country under Health Ministry’s regulations, meaning that travelers returning to Israel are not required to quarantine.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other ministers are concerned about potential misunderstandings and incidents stemming from cultural differences between Israelis and Emiratis, ahead of the launching of direct flights between the countries, a report said Sunday.Netanyahu has advocated the publication of a “code of conduct” of sorts for Israeli tourists about to visit the United Arab Emirates, the Kan public broadcaster reported.
PRESIDENT RIVLIN: 'EVEN THE SKY ISN'T OUR LIMIT' Israel to send its second-ever astronaut into space-Eytan Stibbe to head to International Space Station late next year; announcement made in presence of son of 1st Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, who died during 2003 Columbia mission-By NATHAN JEFFAY-nov 16,20-Today, 12:05 pm
Israel will send an astronaut to space next year, for just the second time in the country’s history, officials announced on Monday.Eytan Stibbe, a former fighter pilot, is due to take off in late 2021 for a mission of just over a week on the International Space Station.“This is a day of national joy, and great pride,” said President Reuven Rivlin. “An Israeli pilot with a blue-and-white flag embroidered on his shoulder will prove once again, as we have been showing here for 72 years, that even the sky isn’t our limit.”The son of Israel’s first astronaut Ilan Ramon, who was killed during his 2003 mission, took part in the press conference at the President’s Residence where the announcement was made Monday.Tal Ramon watched as senior staff of the Ramon Foundation, which was set up to commemorate his father, and government figures revealed that they have been working together for months to arrange an Israeli role in the mission.Ramon, a former Israeli fighter pilot, was a shuttle payload specialist on the STS-107 mission of Space Shuttle Columbia. He was killed, along with the other six crew members, when the shuttle blew up on February 1, 2003, just 16 minutes before they were due to land back on Earth.The upcoming launch will put Stibbe, an Israeli military veteran, on the International Space Station for 200 hours, which he will use to conduct a series of unprecedented experiments that are intended to advance Israeli technologies and scientific developments by researchers and startups.Stibbe will travel on a shuttle launched from Florida at the end of 2021, and will soon start his training, which will take him to the United States, Germany and Russia.As a child, on dark nights I looked up to the stars and wondered what there is beyond what I saw,” Stibbe told the press conference in Jerusalem. He said that as a pilot he got the chance to see the skies, and then became excited by the prospect of space travel because of his close friend Ramon.He said: “It takes much depth and strength to be able to release ourselves from that which ties us down, to leave gravity.Stibbe recalled that he was with the Ramon family during the January 2003 launch.Tal Ramon spoke of the ties that bind his family and Stibbe’s. Upon taking to the podium he lifted up his hands jubilantly, saying this is what his mother Rona, who died in 2018, would have done to celebrate the moment.“I’m very excited because I know if my mother were standing here she would put up her hands in victory like this, and speak very proudly about our friend, a friend I remember from my very first memories,” he said.The Stibbe family “escorted us through the years through everything we went through, the good and the bad, and their family has become our family.”He said it was very moving that Stibbe had chosen to make this “contribution” to the citizens of Israel.?During the press conference, Rivlin addressed Stibbe and emphasized the role that his mission will play in enthusing Israeli kids about science and technology.“You’ll conduct a series of experiments in Israeli technologies, some of which were developed by Israeli boys and girls,” the president said. “You will be the messenger of those brilliant minds, present and future generations of excellent Israeli research.”Last year, astronaut Jessica Meir, whose father was Israeli, paid tribute to the Jewish state from space. Israel in April 2019 unsuccessfully attempted to land an unmanned spacecraft, Beresheet, on the moon.Rivlin also acknowledged the timing of the mission, which comes amid a global pandemic.“This mission to space, for science and research, on behalf of humanity’s unending search for knowledge, for discovery, for understanding, is being launched at a time when humanity is facing one of its greatest challenges. It is a crisis our generation has not known. Because of the virus, we have come to realize how many great concepts – like science, medicine and research – can fundamentally shake our lives.“We have come to realize how much we do not know, not only about distant planets and infinitely huge galaxies, but even here on our own small planet. Dealing with this microscopic, tiny virus, in an effort to find a vaccine, we must work together, scientists from different countries and peoples. That is the power of science. It reminds us that we are part of something much bigger, that speaks to the human spirit that is within us all.”Rivlin said that Stibbe will be “Israel’s representative in the human effort to understand the miraculous mechanism that enables life on this globe, and to crack the secrets of the universe.”“Go in peace, and return in peace,” the president told Stibbe.
20 agriculture projects of US-Israel fund added $3 billion to economies – report-40-year-old US-Israel Binational Agricultural Research and Development Fund generated $16.5 return for every $1 invested in the 20 case studies, an external review finds-By SHOSHANNA SOLOMON-nov 16,20-Today, 10:53 am
A US-Israeli fund that promotes joint agricultural research by scientists in both countries has invested $1.06 billion in 1,330 projects, leading to the adoption of numerous new agricultural practices over its 40 years of operation, according to a report evaluating the effectiveness of the fund.Since 1979, the US-Israel Binational Agricultural Research and Development Fund, or BARD, has expanded academic knowledge in the field with more than 5,600 published pieces.The objective of the external review of BARD’s activities, set up by its board of directors, was to assess the impact of the fund and to establish benchmarks for the way forward.The evaluation was conducted through a self-reporting survey among scientists who received grants from the fund, and a detailed analysis of 20 case studies.The findings show that the case studies examined for the review generated an economic benefit of $2.7 billion to the US economy, $500 million to Israel’s, and another $13.3 billion globally. The return on BARD’s investment generated by these 20 case studies is a $16.5 return for every dollar invested— a cost-benefit ratio of 16.5.The report was presented last week at an online session attended by officials from the US and Israel, including US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young, administrator of the USDA’s Agriculture Research Service.“We match and support highly skilled researchers from the US and Israel, who work together on agricultural research projects,” said Yoram Kapulnik, executive director of BARD, at the event, according to a statement.The idea behind BARD is to “facilitate promising groundbreaking advances in agricultural research for the mutual benefit of both nations and beyond.”The majority of BARD-funded research projects focus on increasing agricultural productivity, particularly in hot and arid climates, and emphasize plant and animal health, food quality and safety, and environmental issues. Among the funded projects were those for aquaculture waste treatment, post-harvest mango treatment, wheat enhancement and crop pollination.Key to BARD’s continued success and impact is funding, the report said.The funds for supporting BARD activities, $8 million annually, are generated through two sources that are contributed in equal parts by the governments of the US and Israel: interest on a fixed $110 million endowment set up at the start of the fund, and an annual direct supplement to the research budget of each country.BARD’s annual budgets have not changed significantly over the years, the report said. Award levels have not been adjusted in 35 years and grants remain $310,000 for a three-year period.The review committee recommends that the board of directors propose ways to increase disposable funds to bring annual funding close to $20 million, from some $8 million currently. It also proposes the funding period for projects to rise to five years, compared to three currently.In addition to BARD, there are two other US-Israel binational funds in operation: the Israel-US Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) fund and the US-Israeli Binational Science Foundation (BSF) fund, also founded in the 1970s.

Iran warns of ‘crushing response’ after Trump said to mull strikes on nuke sites-Threat follows NY Times report that US president last week weighed military options, but was dissuaded by aides; Pompeo, present at those talks, to arrive in Israel on Wednesday-By TOI STAFF and AGENCIES-NOV 17,20-Today, 2:43 pm
Iran warned on Tuesday of a “crushing response” in the wake of reports US President Donald Trump convened top advisers last week to ask if he had options to strike Iranian nuclear sites during his final weeks in office.“Any action against the Iranian nation would certainly face a crushing response,” said government spokesperson Ali Rabiei in remarks streamed on an official government news site, according to the Reuters news agency.The New York Times reported Monday that Trump had made inquiries about the possibility of strikes, but was dissuaded by warnings that it could lead to a wider conflict.Trump convened top officials on Thursday, a day after the UN nuclear watchdog said Iran had stockpiled more than 12 times more enriched uranium than the 2015 nuclear deal allows, the Times reported, citing four current and former US officials.US President Donald Trump arrives to address the nation from the White House on the ballistic missile strike that Iran launched against Iraqi air bases housing US troops accompanied by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)-Among those present were Vice President Mike Pence; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; acting defense secretary Christopher C. Miller; and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the report said.Trump asked them how he should respond to the International Atomic Energy Agency report and what his options were. The Times said the focus of any attack would almost certainly be the heavily fortified Natanz nuclear center.Pompeo and Miley reportedly warned that a major strike, whether with missiles or by a cyberattack, could easily escalate into a major regional conflict.The report said they left Thursday’s meeting believing that Trump had taken a missile strike off the table, but could still be looking at a more measured response against Iran or its allies.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo listens during the third annual US-Qatar Strategic Dialogue at the State Department in Washington, DC on September 14, 2020. (ERIN SCOTT / POOL / AFP)-Pompeo is set to arrive in Israel on Wednesday. He will likely meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, according to the Walla news site.“If I were the Iranians, I would not feel at ease,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said in response to The New York Times report, clarifying that he was not directly aware of any deliberations on the matter by the Trump administration.“It is very important that the Iranians know that if, indeed, they suddenly dash toward high levels of enrichment, in the direction of nuclear weaponry, they are liable to encounter the military might of the United States — and also, perhaps, of other countries,” Steinitz told Army Radio on Tuesday.Trump’s most high-profile attack on Iran, when the US killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in a January 3 drone strike at Baghdad’s airport, resulted in a limited Iranian response.The Pentagon has a wide range of strike options for Iran, including military, cyber and combination plans, the Times report said, noting that some called for direct action by Israel.Israel has been blamed for an attack on an advanced centrifuge development and assembly plant at Natanz in July. It has also been blamed, together with the US, for the Stuxnet virus that sabotaged Iranian enrichment centrifuges a decade ago.A building Iran claims was damaged by a fire at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility some 200 miles (322 kilometers) south of Tehran, on July 2, 2020. (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-The New York Times also reported this week that Israel assassinated Al-Qaeda’s No. 2 in Tehran in recent months at the behest of the US.Monday’s report highlighted fears that Trump could seek to dramatically influence events in his final few weeks in office (even though he has not conceded the election) in a bid to tie US President-elect Joe Biden’s hands on issues like Iran.In a quarterly report distributed to members last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency also said it still had questions from the discovery last year of particles of uranium of manmade origin at a site outside Tehran not declared by Iran.The United States and Israel had been pressing the IAEA for some time to look into the Turquzabad facility, which Netanyahu described to the UN in 2018 as a “secret atomic warehouse.”In the current report, the IAEA said the “compositions of these isotopically altered particles” found there were “similar to particles found in Iran in the past, originating from imported centrifuge components.” It said it found Iran’s response to questions last month “unsatisfactory.”“Following an assessment of this new information, the agency informed Iran that it continues to consider Iran’s response to be not technically credible,” the IAEA wrote this week. “A full and prompt explanation from Iran… is needed.”
UN says ‘full-scale humanitarian crisis unfolding’ in Ethiopia-United Nations refugee agency says around 27,000 Ethiopians have fled across border into Sudan, with 4,000 joining them each day-By ROBBIE COREY-BOULET-Today, 2:57 pm
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AFP) — The UN said Tuesday a full-blown humanitarian crisis was unfolding in northern Ethiopia, where thousands of people each day are fleeing the conflict in the Tigray region.As international pressure mounted over his campaign against the dissident region, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared operations were entering a “final” phase, and his government confirmed fresh airstrikes near the Tigray capital, Mekele.Abiy, last year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, announced a military campaign on November 4, saying it came in response to attacks by the local ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), on federal military camps.The United Nations refugee agency said around 27,000 Ethiopians have fled across the border into Sudan — a figure now rising by around 4,000 people each day.“A full-scale humanitarian crisis is unfolding,” spokesman Babar Baloch told a virtual press briefing from Geneva. “Refugees fleeing the fighting continue to arrive exhausted from the long trek to safety, with few belongings.”Those arriving in Sudan recounted terrifying scenes of artillery barrages and massacres.“I saw bodies dismembered by the explosions,” said Ganet Gazerdier, 75, whose home was destroyed in the town of Humera, and finds herself at a refugee camp in eastern Sudan.“Other bodies were rotting, lying on the road, murdered with a knife,” she added.‘Final throes of death’On Friday Abiy declared the TPLF was “in the final throes of death” and gave troops in the region three days to “rise up” and side with the national army.In a Facebook post Tuesday morning, he said their time was up.“The three-day deadline for the Tigray regional special forces and militia to hand themselves over to national defense forces instead of being a tool for the greedy junta has expired. Those Tigray special forces and militia who used the three-day deadline are appreciated,” he said.“Since the deadline has been completed, in the coming days the final law enforcement activities will be done,” he added.A communications blackout in Tigray has made it difficult to assess how the fighting is going or verify a death toll that could be in the hundreds.In Bahir Dar, capital of the Amhara region, young men protest against the ruling Tigrayan-led government, August 7, 2016 (Courtesy Micha Odenheimer)-Federal forces claim to control Tigray’s western zone, where fighting has been heavy, and over the weekend said they had seized the town of Alamata, 180 kilometers (110 miles) south of the regional capital, Mekele.But Tigrayan leader Debretsion Gebremichael told AFP Tuesday that “the government and people of Tigray” would hold their ground.“This campaign cannot be finished. As long as the army of the invaders is in our land, the fight will continue. They cannot keep us silent by military force,” he said.Abiy has resisted calls by world leaders to cease hostilities and accept mediation.On Monday, his deputy prime minister Demeke Mekonnen flew to Uganda and then to Kenya to meet with the presidents of the regional heavyweights.A war in Ethiopia would give the entire continent a bad image,” Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni wrote on Twitter after meeting Demeke. “There should be negotiations and the conflict stopped, lest it leads to unnecessary loss of lives and cripples the economy.”But Museveni later deleted the tweet, and an Ethiopian official said Demeke made clear negotiations were not an immediate possibility.Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta later called for a “peaceful” resolution of the crisis.Abiy’s government has said there can be no mediation until Tigray’s leaders have been disarmed and brought to court.The TPLF dominated Ethiopian politics for three decades before Abiy came to power in 2018, and a bitter feud has grown as they have been sidelined from politics, becoming ever more defiant towards the central government.Spreading conflict-A government statement on Tuesday said the army on Monday had carried out “precision led and surgical air operations outside of Mekele city based on information received of specific critical TPLF targets.”Debretsion said there were civilian casualties, which the government denied.A resident of Mekele told AFP there was a low-flying warplane over the city Monday that was “very scary, very loud” and that at least one civilian died in a strike not far from a university campus.Details on the strike and any casualties could not be verified.In recent days the TPLF has fired rockets on airports in Ethiopia’s Amhara region, south of Tigray, and in the capital of neighboring Eritrea.On November 12, the fighting in the border region between Tigray and Amhara claimed its first victim from Gondar’s Jewish community — Girmew Gete, 36.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Israel finds mines planted at Syrian border; Gantz holds Damascus to blame-Benny Gantz warns army ready to respond to any incident, won’t ignore explosives uncovered, disarmed in Israeli-controlled buffer zone on southern Golan Heights-By JUDAH ARI GROSS-NOV 17,20-Today, 1:30 pm
Defense Minister Benny Gantz blamed Syria Tuesday for a number of mines that were found planted near the border, and which were disarmed earlier in the day by the military.“For a long time, we have been prepared for the possibility of attacks on the northern frontier,” Gantz said during a security briefing and tour to review combat readiness of forces in area. “The IDF has the capabilities and determination to respond severely to any incident, whether from Lebanon or Syria.”Addressing the discovering of the mines, he said: “I would like to clearly state: Syria is responsible for what happens in its territory. We cannot ignore this issue.”The Israel Defense Forces discovered the mines and they were disarmed by a team of combat engineers.The mines were planted in a buffer zone belonging to Israel in the southern Golan Heights, but on the Syrian side of the security fence.The military said it had been monitoring the area for months for such an attack. A similar attempt to plant explosives was uncovered in the same area this summer.In that incident, the army killed four armed men who crossed into Israeli territory from Syria and planted improvised explosive devices inside an unmanned IDF outpost along the border.The next day IDF troops scanned the area and found a gun and a backpack with several more bombs ready for use. Those items were found inside Israeli territory, 25 meters from the border, the army said.Under the 1974 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Syria, which ended the previous year’s Yom Kippur War, a demilitarized zone was established between the two countries.Last month, the IDF completed its premier exercise of the year, a large-scale simulation of war in the north against Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies, and of a smaller conflict in the Gaza Strip.The northern border has been tense in recent months, following as-yet unfulfilled threats of retaliation by the Hezbollah, after one of the terror group’s fighters was killed in Syria in an airstrike attributed to Israel in July.
THOSE WAITING IN GONDAR, ADDIS IN 'IMMEDIATE, MORTAL DANGER' After 1st conflict fatality, activists beg PM to airlift all Ethiopian Jews now-Knesset Aliyah Committee to grill officials Wednesday against backdrop of escalating fighting in northwest Ethiopia, in which Gondar Jew was killed last week-By SUE SURKES-NOV 17,20-Today, 11:35 am
A group that campaigns to bring the Jews remaining in Ethiopia to Israel warned on Monday that those waiting in Gondar and Addis Ababa are in “immediate, real and mortal danger” and should be airlifted immediately.Fighting between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front from the country’s northwest claimed its first victim from Gondar’s Jewish community on November 12 — Girmew Gete, 36.He was killed in the border area between Tigray and Amhara, which is disputed by the two neighboring regions.He had been waiting with his family to immigrate to Israel for 24 years and is survived by his partner and their four-year-old daughter.Up to 14,000 people with Jewish roots are waiting to come to Israel, the vast majority having left their villages years ago to eke out livings near the Jewish community centers in Gondar City and Addis Ababa.The coronavirus pandemic has seen donations and support from families in Israel drying up, and poverty and malnutrition are rife.On Friday night, the TPLF launched rockets at two airports in Amhara, one of them serving Gondar City, where most of those waiting are based.In its letter to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Israel Katz, the Campaign for the Aliyah of Ethiopian Jews warned not only about the deteriorating security situation but about fears that in times of instability, the Jews might be exposed to anti-Semitic attacks.It referred to two Israeli government decisions — one made in November 2015, but only partially implemented, to bring some 8,000 individuals to Israel within five years, and a second one made in September to bring 2,000, on the basis of “available funds.”Israeli ‘Kessim’ or religious leaders of the Ethiopian Jewish community lead the prayers during the Sigd holiday marking the desire to ‘return to Jerusalem’, as they celebrate from a hilltop in the holy city over looking the Temple Mount, on November 16, 2017. (AFP PHOTO / GALI TIBBON)-“In view of this, and in the spirit of [Monday’s Ethiopian festival] the Sigd, which orders us to search our souls in the hope of redemption and return to Zion, we call on you to act urgently to implement government decisions 716 and 429 to bring the whole population waiting to come to the Land of Israel,” it said.“On this Sigd holiday, thousands of Israeli citizens with family in Ethiopia are looking to you in the hope that you can save the lives of their loved ones.”On Wednesday, the Knesset’s Aliyah Committee will convene to question officials from ministries and various organizations about the situation.Representatives of the Interior Ministry and the Jewish Agency are already on the ground in Ethiopia, selecting and preparing to airlift 2,000 people to Israel in January.
ANALYSIS-After Israel said to kill al-Qaeda No. 2, questions over terror group’s future-With unconfirmed rumors swirling over fate of Al-Zawahiri in wake of Abu Muhammad al-Masri’s killing in Iran, many analysts point to Saif al-Adel as next leader-By DIDIER LAURAS-NOV 17,20-Today, 7:59 am
PARIS (AFP) — The reported deaths of al-Qaeda’s top two leaders in recent months have raised questions about the future strategy and strength of the terror network, already a shadow of the global force it was two decades ago.The New York Times reported last week that al-Qaeda’s deputy leader Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah, who went by the nom-de-guerre Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was secretly killed in Tehran in August by two Israeli operatives at Washington’s behest.Meanwhile, prominent experts on al-Qaeda have quoted sources as saying that Ayman al-Zawahiri, who succeeded Osama Bin Laden as the chief of the group behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, is also dead.Iran has strongly denied the report over the killing of Abdullah, while al-Qaeda has not issued any confirmation of the purported death of al-Zawahiri through its usual media channels.Yet the reports have come as questions grow over al-Qaeda’s future intentions, with the network radically different from the franchise that spread fear around the world under the leadership of the charismatic Bin Laden.‘Very typical of AQ’The killing of the Saudi in a US operation in Pakistan in 2011 left the group in the hands of al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian veteran of jihad and the key al-Qaeda ideologue, but without Bin Laden’s ability to rally radicals around the world.Still image from video obtained on September 11, 2012, of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri speaking from an undisclosed location. (AFP/Site Intelligence Group)-Hassan Hassan, director of the US-based Center for Global Policy (CGP), said at the weekend that al-Zawahiri had died a month ago of natural causes.And Rita Katz, director of the jihadist media monitor SITE, said unconfirmed reports were circulating that al-Zawahiri had died.“It is very typical of AQ to not publish news about the death of its leaders in a timely manner,” she said.Nonetheless, this is not the first time there have been reports of al-Zawahiri’s death, only for him to re-emerge on several occasions.“Intelligence agencies believe he is very sick,” said Barak Mendelsohn, associate professor at Haverford College and author of several books on al-Qaeda and jihadism.“Ultimately, if it did not happen now, it will happen soon,” he told AFP.‘Board of advisers’If either or both men are dead, the group they have left behind can in no way be compared to the network which planned and carried out the September 11 attacks, analysts say.Its ideology has spawned several franchises across the world that bear its name, including in Africa’s Sahel region, in Pakistan as well as in Somalia, Egypt and Yemen.This television image released by Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television broadcast on Friday Oct.5, 2001 is said to show the most recent images of Osama bin Laden, right.

But it does not control their actions or the alliances that they may forge on a local level.Mendelsohn said he expected Al-Qaeda’s leadership to act more along the lines of a “board of advisers” in the future.“People will listen to AQ central leadership if they want to, not because they think they are bound to obey its view,” he said.No longer the supreme jihadist group, Al-Qaeda has seen other outfits grow and has sometimes clashed with them on the ground.It has been overshadowed by the Islamic State (IS) group which sought to carve out a caliphate in Iraq and Syria and coordinated attacks in Europe.Who’s next? The key challenge of a new leader would be to retain the group’s potency within this context.Many analysts point to one key candidate — Saif al-Adel, a former lieutenant-colonel in the Egyptian armed forces who joined the Egyptian jihadist movement in the 1980s.Saif al-Adel, undated (FBI)-He was arrested and then released, ending up in Afghanistan which was the base for Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri, and joining Al-Qaeda.According to the US-based Counter Extremism Project (CEP) think tank, he was arrested in Iran in 2003 and freed in 2015 in a prisoner exchange. He was still believed to be in Iran in 2018 as one of al-Zawahiri’s key deputies.“Adel played a crucial role in building Al-Qaeda’s operational capabilities and quickly ascended the hierarchy,” the CEP said.Mendelsohn said Adel was a “big name” in the movement and “should be the next in line.”But he stressed that Adel, along with Abdullah, spent several years hiding in Iran, thus possibly staying away from Al-Qaeda’s new generation of leaders.“I’m not sure how strong his position is within Al-Qaeda, especially now that the old generation, basically all the old guard, is dead.”

The Jerusalem municipality has approved the construction of 108 housing units in a Jewish neighborhood of East Jerusalem that has in the past rocked ties with Washington, with a source reportedly saying further building projects may be advanced before US President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in at the beginning of the year.The housing approved Tuesday is to be built in the ultra-Orthodox Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, an area that became the focus of a diplomatic spat between Israel and the Obama administration, in which Biden served as vice president, over a previous massive construction project there.During an official visit by Biden in 2010, the Interior Ministry announced that 1,600 housing units would be built in Ramat Shlomo. The declaration embarrassed Biden, as Washington was opposed to Israeli construction in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as the capital of a future state.Biden fumed at the time, saying in a statement that it “undermines the trust we need right now and runs counter to the constructive discussions that I’ve had here in Israel.” The construction project, which later gained the epithet “the Biden Plan,” was eventually put on hold, although anti-settlement groups claimed that paperwork for the scheme was continually advanced in the following years.A municipal source told the Kan public broadcaster that the local planning and construction committee will soon advance further housing in Ramat Shlomo “hopefully before the swearing-in ceremony” for Biden, which will be held January 20.The source denied that the timing of the recent approval was political and noted that construction work in the neighborhood had been going on for a long time.Planning and construction staff in the municipality and the Israel Lands Authority have been told to identify and advance construction projects in East Jerusalem before Biden’s inauguration, amid concerns that the incoming administration will be less sympathetic to such projects than that of outgoing US President Donald Trump, the Haaretz daily reported.The Jerusalem municipality told Haaretz that it is working to advance construction throughout the city to provide residential housing, employment and hotels.The Ir Amim anti-settlement organization accused the government of trying to take advantage of the change in administrations by quickly pushing construction projects.Biden’s ire in 2010 yielded an effective freeze on construction in East Jerusalem with any new projects also requiring approval of the Prime Minister’s Office, which was not granted. The freeze was lifted when Trump took office in 2016 and the controversial Ramat Shlomo project was eventually completed, along with other plans in East Jerusalem neighborhoods such as Gilo, Pisgat Ze’ev, and Har Homa.Construction in Ramat Shlomo also ran into local opposition from the ultra-Orthodox community as some of the building work was in areas where protesters say there are ancient Jewish graves that must not be disturbed.Another area in Jerusalem where construction projects are expected to take a step forward before Biden’s inauguration is Givat Hamatos, where critics say planned Israeli housing would leave the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Safafa hemmed in from all sides and cut off from Bethlehem and the West Bank.The Givat Hamatos neighborhood, Jerusalem (photo credit: Joshua Davidovich/Times of Israel)-A string of US administrations, along with the rest of the international community, opposed Israeli construction in East Jerusalem as well as settlement construction in the West Bank.But Trump, surrounded by a team of advisers with close ties to the settler movement, has taken a different approach. In contrast to its predecessors, the Trump administration has not criticized or condemned new settlement announcements, and in a landmark decision last year, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US does not consider settlements to be illegal under international law.
Vatican faces questions over sexual abuse of adults in wake of McCarrick report-Holy See will have to confront questions of power in relationships between senior and junior members of the clergy, as well as culture of silence and coverups-By NICOLE WINFIELD-NOV 12,20-Today, 3:07 pm
ROME (AP) — The Vatican’s report into ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has raised uncomfortable questions the Holy See will have to confront going forward, chief among them what it’s going to do about current and future clergy who abuse their power to sexually abuse adults.Priests, lay experts and canon lawyers alike say the Vatican needs to revisit how the church protects its seminarians, nuns and even rank-and-file parishioners from problem bishops and cardinals, who for centuries have wielded power and authority with few — if any — checks or accountability.McCarrick was only investigated and defrocked by Pope Francis because a former altar boy came forward in 2017 to report the prelate had groped him when he was a teenager in the 1970s. It was the first time someone had claimed to be abused by McCarrick while a minor, a serious crime in the Vatican’s in-house legal system.And yet the bulk of the Vatican’s 449-page forensic study into the McCarrick scandal released Tuesday dealt with the cardinal’s behavior with young men: the seminarians whose priestly careers he controlled and who felt powerless to say no when he arranged for them to sleep in his bed.The report found that three decades of bishops, cardinals and popes dismissed or downplayed reports of McCarrick’s misconduct with the young men. Confidential correspondence showed they repeatedly rejected the information outright as rumor, excused it as an “imprudence” or explained it away as the result of McCarrick having no living relatives.McCarrick’s friends and superiors went to enormous lengths to find ways to claim his behavior wasn’t necessarily sexual, couldn’t be proven and would cause a scandal if it ever went public. Their decades-long reflex to turn a blind eye was evidence of the church’s old boys culture of silence, clerical privilege and protection of reputations at all cost.No one ever thought about the effect of his behavior on the young men.The report faulted in particular St. John Paul II, who appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington and later made him a cardinal despite having commissioned an inquiry that confirmed he bedded his seminarians. The report recommended he not be promoted.In this Aug. 18, 2004 file photo, Pope John Paul II blesses the faithful during the weekly general audience in the courtyard of his summer residence of Castelgandolfo, in the outskirts of Rome (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito, File)-But John Paul gave McCarrick the most influential position in the US church, which, coupled with his role as a major US fundraiser, meant the cardinal wielded enormous power as he hobnobbed with presidents, prime ministers and three popes.“The reason we had a McCarrick was because he pulled so much power to himself, relatively quickly,” said the Rev. Desmond Rossi, a former seminarian under McCarrick who was interviewed for the report. “I think the church has to look at the authority and power that people are given: How do we guarantee that it’s used in a healthy way?”The question for the church is also a legal one, just as it is in the secular sphere. Vatican and US Catholic leaders had known since the 1990s that McCarrick slept with his seminarians. But that wasn’t a firing offense under the church’s canon law — then or now.A police car is parked inside an empty St. Peter’s Square after the Vatican erected a new barricade at the edge of the square, in Rome, March 10, 2020 (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)-Since McCarrick’s seminary victims weren’t minors, they weren’t considered victims at all, and in those years even priests who repeatedly raped children had their crimes covered up. McCarrick rose to the heights of the Catholic hierarchy merely bothered by occasional “rumors” that he had been “imprudent” with the young men.“It does get down to this idea that somehow when someone turns 18, a) they’re no longer vulnerable, and b) that they have the ability to protect themselves,” said David Pooler, a professor of social work at Baylor University and an expert in clergy sexual abuse of adults.“And what I have learned from my research is that that’s simply not true: that there’s nothing magical about becoming an adult and being able to then protect oneself in a vulnerable place,” he said.Pooler said a seminarian is really in no position to offer meaningful, free consent to any sexual activity with his bishop, since his bishop has all the power in the relationship. A bishop or seminary rector determines whether the seminarian can continue in his studies, is ordained a priest, or is assigned to a good parish.“Only when there is sort of equal freedom and kind of equal power in the relationship could there ever possibly be consent,” Pooler said. “And that’s just impossible between a priest and someone who’s in seminary, or a priest and someone who’s just in their congregation or parish.”Luis Carvallo, left, holding a sign that reads ‘McCarrick is only the tip of the iceberg’ and Bob Foss, with a sign that reads ‘Talk to Us’ stand with a group from Catholic Laity for Orthodox Bishops and Reform outside the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See in Washington, Feb. 16, 2019 (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)-The Vatican has long sought to portray any sexual relations between priests and adults as sinful but consensual, focusing in recent years only on protecting minors and “vulnerable adults” from predator priests. The Vatican’s legal norms have defined “vulnerable” people as those who are disabled or consistently lack the use of reason.Only in the past year or so, amid the #MeToo reckoning, has the Vatican even admitted publicly that religious sisters can be sexually abused by priests, bishops or even their own mother superiors. The McCarrick scandal now stands as a case study of how seminarians can be exploited and abused by the men who hold power over them.“People have the tendency to believe the one who is in power, and not the one who is powerless,” said Karlijn Demasure, director of the Centre for Safeguarding Minors and Vulnerable Persons at Saint Paul University in Ottawa, Canada. “And that’s the whole change in culture that has to happen: that one has to listen to the vulnerable and not to the ones who are in power.”She welcomed the transparency in the document and particularly its descriptions of the textbook techniques McCarrick used to groom his victims young and old: ingratiating himself with their families, insisting they call him “uncle” to break down barriers, taking them on trips to meet famous people, and impressing on them how important he was.Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick of the Archdiocese of Washington answers questions from the media following an afternoon mass at Saint Matthew’s Cathedral, April 1, 2005, in Washington (AP Photo/Haraz Ghanbari)-Demasure, the former executive director of the Center for Child Protection at the Jesuit-run Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, said she hoped the report would encourage other seminarians to come forward, since it is often even harder for adult men to see themselves as victims and report misconduct by their superiors.“If we look at religious sisters, it’s very difficult for them to come forward, because they are … easily seen as the ones who have seduced, not as the ones who have been abused,” she said. “Even more difficult is it for men, because men are normally not considered to be victims.”But Kurt Martens, professor of canon law at Catholic University of America, in Washington DC, said it is very difficult to prosecute cases of abuse of adults within the church’s existing canon law, regardless of whether the victims are male or female. At most, such misconduct is considered a “boundary violation” by the priest that would be dealt with via therapy or restrictions on ministry.Currently, the law would only allow such abuse to be punished if the Vatican could confirm the sexual acts were committed by force, threat or in public — or if there were other crimes committed alongside, such as those involving the sacrament of confession. As of last year, church personnel are required to report allegations of abuse of adults in-house, but there is still no law on the books on how such cases might be prosecuted.Martens noted that Vatican lawyers have been updating the penal code of the canon law for years and suggested the McCarrick expose might give them reason for an even more ambitious overhaul.“I think there needs to be a new discussion. It needs to go back to the drawing board,” Martens said. “Looking at what we have with McCarrick, do we have to fix our canon law?”

Hurricane Iota: Category four storm hits Nicaragua-Tue., November 17, 2020, 10:57 a.m. EST
A powerful hurricane has brought torrential rains and strong winds to Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, two weeks after another devastating storm hit.Iota made landfall as a category four storm near the town of Puerto Cabezas, where patients had to be evacuated from a makeshift hospital after its roof was ripped off.Residents are in shelters, and there are fears of food shortages.The storm has weakened and Honduras is expected to be hit later on Tuesday.Before making landfall in Nicaragua, Iota had brought high winds and flooding to Colombia's Caribbean coast-The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Iota was now a category two storm, but warned it could bring life-threatening storm surges, catastrophic winds, flash flooding and landslides.Number of named Atlantic storms breaks records-Iota struck Nicaragua on Monday evening with sustained winds of nearly 155mph (250km/h), the NHC said. It strengthened at sea to a category five storm but it weakened as it made landfall.In Puerto Cabezas, also known as Bilwi, the storm damaged wooden homes, flooded streets and cut off electricity. Residents said the wind ripped away the roofs of houses "like they were made of cardboard"."I haven't eaten. I don't know where I'm going to sleep here," 80-year-old Prinsila Glaso told AFP news agency.There were no immediate reports of casualties. Nicaraguan officials said around 40,000 people had been evacuated from areas in the storm's path."[Iota] is the strongest hurricane that has touched Nicaraguan soil since records began," said Marcio Baca, director of the Nicaraguan Institute of Earth Studies.The hurricane is forecast to move inland across the country before hitting southern Honduras. The effect of the rains could be particularly devastating in areas already drenched by Hurricane Eta. Iota made landfall just 15 miles (24km) south of where Eta hit on 3 November.In Honduras, officials said at least 50,000 people had been removed from high-risk areas. Speaking at a news conference on Monday, President Juan Orlando Hernández warned: "What's drawing closer is a bomb."Before reaching Central America the storm moved past the Colombian island of Providencia in the Caribbean, cutting off electricity and killing at least one person, officials said.Colombian President Iván Duque said 98% of the infrastructure in Providencia, home to around 5,000 people, had been damaged.Iota is the strongest Atlantic hurricane of the year and only the second November hurricane to reach category five - the last was in 1932.This year's Atlantic hurricane season has broken the record for the number of named storms. For only the second time on record officials have had to start using the letters of the Greek alphabet to start storm names after running out of names on its traditional alphabetical list.Eta left at least 200 people dead. The worst-hit area was Guatemala's central Alta Verapaz region, where mudslides buried dozens of homes in the village of Quejá, with some 100 people feared dead. At least 50 deaths were reported elsewhere in Guatemala.
SpaceX capsule with 4 astronauts reaches International Space Station-Regular taxi service to ISS gets underway as Elon Musk’s company delivers crew for full half-year stay in orbit-By AP and TOI STAFF-NOV 17,20-Today, 8:47 am
SpaceX’s newly launched capsule with four astronauts arrived Monday at the International Space Station, their new home until spring.The Dragon capsule pulled up and docked late Monday night, following a 27-hour, completely automated flight from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The linkup occurred 262 miles (422 kilometers) above Idaho.“Oh, what a good voice to hear,” space station astronaut Kate Rubins called out when the Dragon’s commander, Mike Hopkins, first made radio contact.“We can’t wait to have you on board,” she added after the two spacecraft were latched together.This is the second astronaut mission for SpaceX. But it’s the first time Elon Musk’s company delivered a crew for a full half-year station stay. The two-pilot test flight earlier this year lasted two months.The three Americans and one Japanese astronaut will remain at the orbiting lab until their replacements arrive on another Dragon in April. And so it will go, with SpaceX — and eventually Boeing — transporting astronauts to and from the station for NASA.On Monday it was announced that Eytan Stibbe will become Israel’s second ever astronaut when he joins a SpaceX and NASA flight to the International Space Station late next year. The launch will put the former fighter pilot on the ISS for 200 hours, which he will use to conduct a series of unprecedented experiments that are intended to advance Israeli technologies and scientific developments by researchers and startups.The regular taxi service to the station got underway with Sunday night’s launch.Hopkins and his crew — Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Japan’s Soichi Noguchi — join two Russians and one American who flew to the space station last month from Kazakhstan. Glover is the first African-American to move in for a long haul. A space newcomer, Glover was presented his gold astronaut pin Monday.NASA astronauts, from left, Shannon Walker, Victor Glover, and Michael Hopkins and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi leave the Operations and Checkout Building on their way to launch pad 39A for the SpaceX Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, November 15, 2020. (Photo/John Raoux)-The four named their capsule Resilience to provide hope and inspiration during an especially difficult year for the whole world. They broadcast a tour of their capsule Monday, showing off the touchscreen controls, storage areas and their zero gravity indicator: a small plush Baby Yoda.Walker said it was a little tighter for them than for the two astronauts on the test flight.“We sort of dance around each other to stay out of each other’s way,” she said.For Sunday’s launch, NASA kept guests to a minimum because of coronavirus, and even Musk had to stay away after tweeting that he “most likely” had an infection. He was replaced in his official launch duties by SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell, who assured reporters he was still very much involved with Sunday night’s action, although remotely.As they prepared for the space station linkup, the Dragon crew beamed down live window views of New Zealand and a brilliant blue, cloud-streaked Pacific 250 miles below.“Looks amazing,” Mission Control radioed from SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.“It looks amazing from up here, too,” Hopkins replied.
