Shas Coalition Deal Includes Synagogues, Haredi Housing-Shas has succeeded in 'rolling back the clock' on many of the 'edicts' from the previous government, its coalition agreement shows.By Moshe Cohen-First Publish: 5/10/2015, 7:32 PM-israelnationalnews

A report by the Kikar Hashabbat web site purports to show the coalition agreement between the Likud and Shas. According to the report, the government has promised to increase the number of new public housing apartments to be marketed annually to 700, while government planning councils will authorize 5,000 new homes for haredi families each year.According to the report, a number of the points that appear in Shas's coalition agreement also appear in United Torah Judaism's.Among Shas's biggest “victories” in the coalition negotiations was extracting a promise from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to support a zero-VAT sales tax bill for basic grocery items, including milk, bread, margarine, etc. While some economists support the idea, others say that the price cut will be temporary – with the 18% initial reduction of prices resulting from the lopping off of VAT costs eventually creeping back up to “normal” levels, but without the government collecting its share.Shas will be in control of the Religious Affairs Ministry, after Jewish Home desisted from its original demand to appoint a deputy minister. Among the features of this ministry will be control of the rabbinical courts, which in recent governments were under the control of the Justice Ministry. In “exchange,” Shas conceded a deputy minister in the Education Ministry, and will not have a representative there, despite party chairman Aryeh Deri's misgivings that Jewish Home's Naftali Bennett, who will be Education Minister, may not give Shas institutions a “fair shake.”Among the major budgetary changes will be a NIS 70 million ($18 million) allocation for the construction of synagogues and mikva'ot, or ritual baths. In the previous government, there was no allocation at all for such construction. The money, which will be allocated by the Religious Affairs Ministry, will be mostly distributed in the "periphery" (low-income areas far from the large cities), Shas promises.In addition, Shas has engineered a revival of the “Nahari law,” which requires local authorities to provide budgets for haredi elementary schools at the same level it funds secular and religious Zionist schools. The law was suspended in 2013, under the last Likud government, after a demand by Yesh Atid.

Government Expansion Bill Passes First Reading-Despite delay in swearing-in government, Netanyahu achieves victory in first reading of bill to expand number of cabinet ministers.By Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 5/11/2015, 10:09 PM-israelnationalnews

Almost eight weeks have passed since election day and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has still not declared his final government.It appears, Channel 10 suggested, that the Prime Minister is taking his time before swearing-in his fourth government, in order to try and broaden the narrow 61-MK coalition he has accumulated until now.But if, as rumors suggest, he is looking to bring the Zionist Union, as headed by Opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog, into the coalition, he may face severe challenges.Herzog's criticism of Netanyahu grew super assertive on Monday, with the chairman going so far as to suggest repeat elections would be better for Israel than Likud rule, before threatening to cripple the new government.Meanwhile, a tense and angry Knesset discussion began Monday morning, over Netanyahu's proposal to increase the size of the Cabinet from 18 ministers to 22.The law would also allow Netanyahu to appoint ministers without portfolio in addition to loosening the limit on ministers and deputy ministers.The High Court gave the Knesset the green light to discuss the law despite an appeal from Yesh Atid and after almost a full day of debate, it passed its first reading with the necessary majority of 61 MKs.Approval of the second and third readings will likely take place on Wednesday, giving Netanyahu more leeway in smoothing over the ministerial demands of members of his Likud party.Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein announced Monday night that Netanyahu has a deadline of one week to swear-in his government.

Government Given 12 Hours to Respond to Yesh Atid Appeal-Supreme Court orders government and Attorney General to respond to appeal against expansion of cabinet by 8:00 Monday.By Shlomo Pitrikovsky and Elad Benari-First Publish: 5/11/2015, 1:14 AM-israelnationalnews

The Supreme Court has given the Israeli government and Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein only 12 hours to respond to Yesh Atid’s appeal against the expansion of the cabinet.Justice Daphne Barak-Erez on Sunday evening instructed the government and Weinstein to present their response to the appeal by Monday morning at 8:00.The motion, filed earlier by MK Ofer Shelah and Yesh Atid’s attorneys, claims that the current transition government is not empowered to change or update basic laws, even if it can muster the 61 votes needed to temporarily suspend the limit on 18 ministers, as the law prescribes.In addition, the motion contends that the coalition agreement provides for an unlawful distribution of funds by parties and specific MKs, distributions that the Attorney General has declared illegal. According to reports, numerous MKs in Shas, United Torah Judaism, and Jewish Home have been given specific sums, as much as NIS 20 million, to spend on projects.Yesh Atid has several times threatened legal action against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s move to expand the number of ministers in the cabinet, a move likely taken in order to have more ministerial portfolios for members of his Likud party.The outgoing cabinet unanimously approved the proposal to expand the ministerial cabinet earlier Sunday, paving the way for it to be brought to the Knesset for approval on Monday.

Canada to Fight BDS Movement with Hate Crime Laws-Responding to query on 'zero tolerance' policy for BDS, public security spokesperson sends detailed list of Canada's new hate crime laws.By Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 5/11/2015, 10:55 PM-israelnationalnews

Canada, one of Israel's staunchest allies, appears primed to use its new hate crime laws against groups advocating for the virulently anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.According to a Canadian Broadcasting Company report on Monday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government made its intentions clear by sending a list of the country's hate crime laws in response to CBC's inquiry on its stance on BDS. Over the past few months, several cabinet ministers have made statements pledging vigilance against the country's many BDS groups, which are primarily associated with universities, labor unions and churches.In January, then foreign minister John Baird swore to fight the movement, which calls for boycotts of the Jewish state, and which Baird named "the new face of anti-Semitism."Shortly thereafter, in a United Nations address, Public Security Minister Steven Blaney argued that boycotts of Israel constitute anti- Semitic hate speech and violence, and vowed a "zero tolerance" policy toward the BDS movement. Asked by CBC recently to explain the meaning of "zero tolerance" and what if anything was being done to enforce the policy, a spokesperson for Blaney replied with a detailed list of Canada's updated hate laws. "I can tell you that Canada has one of the most comprehensive sets of laws against hate crime anywhere in the world," Josee Sirois said, noting that the Criminal Code now covers hate speech based on a person's "religion or national or ethnic origin.""We will not allow hate crimes to undermine our way of life, which is based on diversity and inclusion," Sirois concluded.

Former Israeli premier Barak joins biometric start-up-Associated Press-may 11,15-yahoonews

JERUSALEM (AP) — Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has joined the board of a local startup that specializes in biometric identification technology.FST Biometrics announced Monday that it had received a $15 million investment from GMF Capital, a firm led by Swiss investor Gary Fegel, and that Barak would serve as GMF's representative on the company board.FST says it uses a combination of facial recognition and behavioral analytics in its products, and that its clients include governments and corporations. Its founder and chief executive is Aharon Zeevi Farkash, a former head of Israeli military intelligence.Barak, a former Israeli military chief, served as prime minister from 1999 to 2001. More recently, he served as defense minister before retiring from politics in 2013.

After threats, Israel assigns guards to incoming minister-AFP-may 11,15-yahoonews

Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel said Monday it would assign a protection detail to a controversial rightwing female MP who is slated to become justice minister after she received death threats."We were shocked to see threats and photomontages online of Ayelet Shaked in a Nazi uniform," parliamentary speaker Yuli Edelstein told army radio.The decision to assign her a protection detail was made by Edelstein and the Knesset's head of security after she complained of threats against her on social networks, the radio said."We won't allow anyone to threaten parliamentarians and we will do whatever necessary so they can carry out their mission," said Edelstein.Shaked, a secular 39-year-old from Tel Aviv who is number three on the list of the far-right Jewish Home party, was tapped as Israel's justice minister last week during the last 24 hours of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's uphill battle to piece together a coalition government.The photomontage, which was posted online, showed the telegenic MP wearing a brown Nazi uniform with quotes attributed to her printed alongside, in which she allegedly called all Palestinians "enemy combatants" and said they should be killed.News of her expected appointment sparked a furious response with the Palestinians denouncing her as an extremist who "advocated genocide".They were referring to remarks attributed to her as well as a Facebook post which was deleted but widely picked up by the Israeli media in which she likened the Palestinians to "snakes".Opposition parties also expressed concern at the nomination of an MP who has been at the forefront of efforts to curb the powers of the Supreme Court.Last year, she tabled a bill which would reduce the court's ability to overturn legislation it finds unconstitutional.The bill was put together after the court overturned legislation that allowed the state to jail African asylum seekers without trial.“Giving Shaked the justice ministry would be like appointing a pyromaniac to head the fire department,” said Nahman Shai, a Labour MP who served as deputy speaker in the previous parliament.Last week's coalition negotiations saw the Jewish Home party, which opposes a Palestinian state and strongly backs settlement activities, securing a senior role within the newly-formed government which is to be sworn in.The move looks likely to complicate Israel's damaged relationship with the Palestinians and further strain ties with the international community.

US skeptical of N.Korea test launch claim: officials-AFP-may 11,15-yahoonews

Washington (AFP) - North Korea did not test fire a ballistic missile from a submarine as Pyongyang claimed over the weekend and the country is still a long way from achieving such a capability, US officials said Monday.The North's state media said on Saturday that a new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) had been tested but US officials rejected the regime's account."That was not a ballistic missile," a defense official told AFP.The official played down the test, saying it did not represent a technical breakthrough for the North."They are trying to develop that capability," but there was no "imminent" threat of a submarine-launched missile arsenal coming on line in North Korea, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.Pyongyang's state media said North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un touted the test as an "eye-opening success" that gives his military a "world-level strategic weapon."The precise nature of the launch remained unclear. Some analysts suggested the missile might have travelled only a few hundred meters, and that the event did not qualify as a full flight test.South Korea called on North Korea to halt the program and assessed Pyongyang was still in the "early phase" of developing submarine-launched missiles.But a defense official in Seoul, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the North could have a fully operational submarine armed with ballistic missiles within four or five years.Experts say North Korea bought submarine missile technology from Russia shortly after the end of the Cold War, and has tried to reverse-engineer old Russian subs to build a launch system."We don't expect them to develop a highly capable system anywhere remotely similar to our ballistic missiles on submarines, but if they can put a missile on a submarine, even a short to medium-range missile, then that would obviously complicate our effort to track their missiles," John Schilling, an aerospace technology expert, said at a conference in Washington last week.North Korea is still years away from building long-range missiles that could be fired from subs, according to a recent report by Schilling, who used to advise the US Air Force and now works for the Aerospace Corporation.The Pentagon declined to comment on the test, saying the US government could not discuss "intelligence matters.""Any type of launch of this nature would violate at least four UN Security Council resolutions. And it's another example of North Korea's unwillingness to play by the international rules," spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said.

05/11/2015-Francis: The powerful don’t want peace because they make a living from war-The Pope with children from the "Peace Factory"-Today Francis met 7000 children from the “Peace Factory”. Prison is not the solution for young people who get it wrong. “I get irate too but after an argument you need peace”-Iacopo Scaramuzzi

vatican city-They put a bracelet round his wrist and a “peace helmet” “because you are our top peace worker”. They welcome him by singing “We are the World” and bid farewell to him with songs and embraces. Today the Pope welcomed 7000 children from the “Peace Factory”. The Pope preferred to set aside his prepared speech and respond off the cuff, to each of the 13 questions put to him by children. The questions were to do with peace, war, prison and sickness. “Where there is no justice, there is no peace,” he asked children to repeat altogether, explaining that in the world there is no peace because the powerful make money from the arms industry.The aim of the initiative promoted by psychologist Maria Rita Parsi, amongst others, is to mobilise institutions, media, church bodies, NGOs, workforces and political figures to build a world of peace “immediately and in the future”. Radical leader Emma Bonino was also present in the Paul VI Hall. The Pope had personally invited her over the telephone, when he called to inquire about her illness, as Bonino said herself in an interview with Radio Radicale, adding that the Pope had met her when she was still Foreign Minister of Italy.An Egyptian child living in the suburbs of Rome (“Tor Pignattara loves you and is waiting for you”), said that like other children with immigrant parents, he came from villages where there is poverty and war. He asked the Pope why “powerful people don’t help schools”: “We can ask a bigger question,” the Pope answered: “Why do so many powerful people not want peace? Because they live off war, the arms industry is a serious matter! The powerful earn a living by producing and selling arms to countries: it is the industry of death, they make money from it. You know greed is really bad for us, our desire to have more, more money: and when we see that everything revolves around money, that the economic system revolves around money and not around people, around men and women, a great deal is sacrificed and people go to war to defend money. This is why so many people do not want peace: you profit more from war and money but you lose lives, culture, education, you lose so many things. An elderly priest I met some years ago, used to say: the devil enters through people’s wallets, through greed and this is why they do not want peace.”“Dear Pope, I am 9 years old and I constantly hear people talking about peace, what is peace?” asked a wheelchair-bound child, adding that he is going to Lourdes with UNITALSI and suggesting that Pope Francis should drive the train so he gets there on time: “You were great!” the Pope answered. “Peace means above all, no more wars but it also means joy, friendship among all, taking steps toward justice every day, taking steps to ensure there are no starving and sick who do not have the means to obtain health assistance. Doing all this is peace. Peace takes effort, it isn’t about being relaxed. We need to work in order to ensure that everyone has a solution to the problems and needs of their land, their country, their family and their society: this is how you make home-made peace.” Peace is not an industrial product, peace is a home-made product, it is created day by day with our work, our life, our love, our closeness, our care. Peace is build every day.” Francis then asked the children to say together: “Where there is no justice, there is no peace”.Prison was another subject the Pope touched on. A young male inmate from Rome’s Casal del Marmo prison sent the Pope the following question: “The answer for boys like me is often prison, do you agree with this?” “No,” Francis replied, “I do not agree”: what you need is “help in picking yourself back up, reintegration through education, love and closeness. The prison solution is the easiest way to forget about those who suffer. Let me give you a piece of advice,” Francis told children: “When they tell you that that person there is in prison, tell yourselves this: I could also make the same mistakes he or she did. All of us are capable of making the most terrible mistakes, we must never condemn but always help others to pick themselves up and reintegrate themselves in society.” One young girl whose father is in prison, asked the Pope whether “there is a possibility for forgiveness for those who have done bad things,” the Pope replied: “Listen well: God forgives everything. It is we who do not know how to forgive. It is we who are unable to find ways to forgive, often because we are incapable or because it is easier to fill up prisons than to help those who made mistakes in their life to move on. The easiest route is going prison, without forgiveness. And what does forgiveness mean? You have fallen, I will help you pick yourself up and reintegrate yourself in society. There is a lovely song that the Italian Alpine troops sing: in the art of rising up, victory does not lie in not falling, but in getting back up. All of us fall, all of us make mistakes, but our victory over ourselves and others is in getting back up after a fall and helping others to do so. This is a very tough thing, it is easier to throw someone who has made a terrible mistake out of society, handing them a death sentence by sentencing them to life imprisonment. Efforts need to focus on reintegrating and getting back on our feet.”Among the many subjects discussed, was illness in children. This is what Francis had to say to Rafael, a little Latin American boy with a heart condition: “Rafael, I was moved by what you said”. Then, answering two questions the child had put to him, the Pope added: “Is there a reason why a boy who has done nothing bad should come into the world with so many problems as he has? This is one of the hardest questions for one to answer: there is no answer. A great Russian writer, Dostoevskij, asked the same question: why do children suffer? One can only look att he sky and wait for answers that cannot be found.” What can I do to reduce a child’s suffering? “Be close to them. Society tries to set up care centres healing centres, paliative care centres; it tries to facilitate the education of children living with illnesses. I personally don’t like saying that a child is disabled,” the Pope said. “No, he or she has different abilities, he or she is not disabled, all of us have abilities. Everyone, everyone has the ability to give us something, to do something.”Other questions were more personal: “I often argue with my sister. Have you ever got into arguments with your family?” “Raise your hands, how many of you have argued with a sibling or a family member: never? All of us have!” Francis answered. “It’s part of life, because I want to play this game, the other person wants to play another game, then we fight… but in the end the important thing is to make peace. We fight but don’t let the day end without making up.” I have also had many arguments, I still get a bit irate now, but I always try to make peace together.” “And if someone does not want to make peace with you, what do you do?” another little girl asked. “First of all I respect the freedom of that person,” Francis answered. “If a person does not want to speak to me, doesn’t want to make up, they have inside them, I wouldn’t say hatred, but something against me, I must respect them: pray and never take revenge.” Wouldn’t you want to be more at peace? another child asked. I would often like to have some peace, to rest more, it is true: but being with people does not take peace away from you. What takes away peace is not loving each other, jealousy, envy, avarice, taking things away from others: this takes away peace. But being with people is wonderful. It is a little bit tiring - I’m not young any more - but it doesn’t take away peace.”

05/11/2015 -Francis remembers slain Copts who died with God’s name on their lips-Christian Copts captured by ISIS, before having their throats slit-At this morning’s mass in St. Martha’s House, Francis again decried the fact “today we are seeing those who kill Christians in the name of God” but the Holy Spirit gives people the strength to testify the faith until martyrdom-Domenico Agasso jr

Rome-Today Francis once again drew attention to the fact that Christians are being killed in the name of God. But at this morning’s mass in St. Martha’s House, he also underlined that the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to testify until martyrdom.In today’s Gospel reading, Christ announces the Holy Spirit to the disciples: “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.” The Lord “speaks of the future, of the Cross that awaits us, and he speaks of the Holy Spirit who helps us give witness as Christians,” the Pope said. God also speaks of “the scandal of persecutions”, the “scandal of the Cross”. “The life of the Church,” Francis stressed, “is a journey that is guided by the Holy Spirit who reminds us of Jesus’ words and “teaches us things that Jesus wasn’t able to tell us”. The Holy Spirit – he said– is our companion in this journey and defends us from “the scandal of the Cross”. And the Pope pointed out that the Cross is a scandal for the Jews who “ask for signs” and it is foolishness for the Greeks - the pagans - who “ask for knowledge and new ideas”. Christians on the other hand preach the crucified Christ. So Jesus prepares his disciples: “They will expel you from the synagogues: in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God.”“Today we are seeing those who kill Christians in the name of God because they think they are not believers.,” Francis continued. “This is Christ’s Cross: ‘They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me’. This happened to me – Jesus says – it will happen to you too – the persecutions, the tribulations – but do not be scandalized: the Holy Spirit will guide us and help us understand”.Pope Francis then recalled Sunday’s telephone conversation with the Coptic Pope Tawadros II on the occasion of the Day of friendship between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. “I remembered the faithful of his Church who were slain on the beach because they were Christians. Thanks to the strength given them by the Holy Spirit they were not scandalized. They died with the name of Jesus on their lips. This is the strength of the Spirit. The witness. Martyrdom is the supreme witness.”“But there is also the witness we give every day,” Francis said, “the witness of rendering present the life-giving message of Easter which guides us towards the truth and reminds us of Jesus’ words: “A Christian who does not take the dimension of martyrdom seriously in life does not understand the road that Jesus has indicated: a road that invites us to bear witness every day, defending the rights of others; defending our children; mothers and fathers who defend their family; so many sick people who bear witness and suffer for the love of Jesus. All of us have the possibility of bringing forward this life-giving Easter message, bearing witness, without being scandalized.” Pope Francis concluded by saying: “Let us ask the Lord for the grace to receive the Holy Spirit who will remind us of Jesus’ words, who will guide us in truth throughout our lives and prepare us to bear witness in our lives, with small every day martyrdoms, or with a great martyrdom, according to God’s will.”

05/11/2015-The Pope’s prayer: “Make me your Shroud O Lord”-A preview of the Shroud Ostension-A never-before-published preface by Francis, introduces Fr. Yoannia Lahzi Gaid’s book titled "Via Crucis dalla Bibbia alla Sindone" (“Via Crucis. From the Bible to the Shroud”)-ANDREA TORNIELLI

vatican city- “Make me Your icon, Your shroud, O Lord, that I may testify the embrace of your unspeakable love to today’s mankind!” These are the concluding words of a prayer written by Francis, which introduces (by way of a preface) an easy-to-read volume by the Egyptian priest Mgr. Yoannis Lahzi Gaid, one of the Pope’s personal secretaries and Francis’ Arabic speaker during the Wednesday General Audiences."Via Crucis dalla Bibbia alla Sindone" (“Via Crucis. From the Bible to the Shroud”) is the Italian title of the book, published by Shalom (96 pp, €3), a helpful prayer aid for traditional pious and devotional exercises, that goes through the stages of Christ’s Passion with the mysterious image imprinted on the linen shroud that is kept in Turin in sight. On the fabric of the shroud, one is able to “read” all the signs of the Passion: the man that had been wrapped in the Shroud received the same treatment as Jesus did, as recounted in the four Gospels, right down to the very last millimeter. The blows, the coronation with the crown of thorns, the whipping, the crucifixion, the death and the post-mortem wound that tore through the ribcage.”“O Lord, may I see you in today’s disfigured faces, in the suffering bodies of all ages, in those who have been discarded, marginalized and crushed by the weight of their crosses,” Francis writes in the prayer.“O Lord, allow us to contemplate Your Face which is present and hidden in the faces of my brothers and sisters.” The final passage is an invitation to become an “icon”, a “shroud” in fact of Jesus.In the introduction to his book, Fr. Yoannis talks about the reaction he had when his uncle, priest and Rector of the Cairo Seminary came back from Rome, bringing with him a souvenir of the image of the Face on the Holy Shroud and an account of reconstructions by scientists and scholars. This was what sparked his enduring interest in the mysterious image on the Turin Shroud. “Coming from Egypt, the land evangelized by St. Mark’s preaching, I read and reflected on his Gospel and as I continued my study, I wrote a “Via Crucis according to the Shroud”, for my own personal use, to pray, contemplating the Passion, death and resurrection” of Jesus.The text contains the thirteen stations, where passages from the Gospel alternate with proposed reflections and meditations on what is seen on the Shroud. It also contains key updates on the cloth and the possibility of reading the imprints, from those left by the blood, which were the first to be transferred from the body onto the cloth, to the mysterious and as yet unexplained imprint of the entire figure of a tortured and crucified man. The text also contains a collection of special prayers written for the purpose of “contemplating and praying the Shroud”.

EU institutions use 'data privacy' to stymie transparency By Honor Mahony-may 11,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 17:16-EU ombudsman Emily O'Reilly has accused the EU insitutions of being too ready to use the data protection "shield" as an argument against being more transparent."Data protection is viewed as a major shield against transparency in these institutions. I see it on so many levels," she said at a public discussion on Brussels lobbying on Wednesday (11 May).She noted that while in some member states a distinction is made between an official acting in their private capacity and acting as a public servant, "that distinction is far too blurred" in Brussels.Her remarks were directed at EU commissioner Frans Timmermans, in charge of transparency, who has been resisting calls - often using the privacy argument - to extend recently-implemented transparency rules to all commission officials.The rules currently prevent only the top tier of commission officials (about 300 from a total of 33,000 staff) from meeting any lobbyists not on the lobbyist register.O'Reilly said she can understand "to a point" not wanting to expose junior officials to the public eye, "but that doesn’t stop the EU commission from saying: 'Junior official you can only meet people on the transparency register. We won’t put your name out there, but that is the rule'."She also urged the commission not to view progress on transparency by comparison to the European Parliament and the EU Council, which represents member states and which is generally viewed as the transparency laggard of the three institutions."They have to take a leadership role and things will trickle down from that" she said, adding that EU law-making is so complex and that so few citizens are really aware of how it works that the EU needs "very high standards" of transparency, "higher than any of the member states".Transparency and the role of lobbyists in EU law-making has become an increasingly hot topic in Brussels in recent years, with the scope of legislation increasing, but with the process remaining opaque.The current EU commission shook up the system with its new 'meeting lobbyist' rules, but critics say its lobbyist register needs to be mandatory to be effective. They often point out that law firms - among the most skilled and high-powered lobbyists - are not obliged to register.Estimates on the number of lobbyists in Brussels run from around 15,000 to as many as 30,000, but Carl Dolan from Transparency International (TI), pointed out there are only about 7,000 lobbyists registered.This compares to 12,000 in Washington, where registration is mandatory, with both capitals seen as roughly equivalent when it comes to legislative importance.The voluntary/mandatory difference results in a large discrepancy in the reported spending on lobbying in both capitals.A lack of transparency also has practical effects. Looking at the current civil backlash against the proposed EU-US free trade agreement, Dolan noted that the level of distrust arises from the secrecy surrounding the talks.He said TI had to make several requests to find out which national officials were sitting on the trade policy committee and "actually scrutinising this very important initiative".Timmermans, for his part, said that his general aim for lobbying "is to know exactly what sort of influence is being exerted".On extending the rules he said he would "monitor closely" to see if there is a shift towards lobbying of lower-ranked commission officials.But O'Reilly, who has made transparency of the EU institutions one of her main topics, indicated that she would maintain pressure on the commission.Aside from wanting EU officials to have lobby-awareness training, she also wants the commission to set up a public register of senior commission staff who move to the private sector, the so-called "revolving door"."The proposal that I have made is having this online register of senior oficials - in possesion of a lot of information - who move into private sector. That should be open to the public gaze and I will certainly be looking at that as an indication of just how serious this commission is in relation to transparency," she said.

Putin justifies Soviet-Nazi pact By Eric Maurice-may 11,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:29-Russian president Vladimir Putin over the weekend celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Soviet defeat of Nazi Germany with a military parade on Red Square and a series of smaller events.But while standing next to German chancellor Angela Merkel, he appeared to justify the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact which the Soviet Union signed with the Nazi regime in 1939."This pact made sense in terms of guaranteeing the Soviet Union’s security," he said on Sunday (10 May).Putin noted that Moscow, in the 1930s, had tried to stop Nazi Germany, but felt isolated after Germany, France, and the UK signed the 1938 Munich agreement allowing Hitler to annex parts of Czechoslovakia."The Soviet Union made tremendous efforts to put in place conditions for collective resistance to Nazism in Germany and made repeated attempts to create an anti-Nazi bloc in Europe," he said."All of these attempts failed. What’s more, after 1938, when the well-known agreement was concluded in Munich, conceding some regions of Czechoslovakia, some politicians thought that war was inevitable," he added."When the Soviet Union realised that it was left to face Hitler’s Germany on its own, it acted to try to avoid a direct confrontation, and this resulted in signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact".The Molotov-Ribbentrop accord was signed on 23 August 1939.Three days later, the German army was mobilised and nine days later Hitler attacked Poland, triggering declarations of war by France and Britain.Many historians believe the Molotov-Ribbentrop deal allowed Hitler to start the war because he knew he wouldn’t have to face the Soviet Union.
But the Soviet Union was itself invaded in June 1941, when Hitler launched a surprise attack.Speaking after Putin, Merkel noted that besides being a non-aggression pact, the the Molotov-Ribbentrop accord was also an agreement to dismantle Poland."From my point of view, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is hard to understand unless you take into consideration the extra secret protocol," she said, implying Putin gave an inaccurate assessment of the accord.“From this point of view, I consider it was not right, it was done on an unlawful basis."Stalin attacked Poland on 17 September 1939, in accordance with the Molotov-Ribbentrop deal, on the pretext that he had to protect Ukrainian and Belarussian minorities.Merkel, and most EU leaders, boycotted the Red Square military parade on Saturday (9 May) in protest at Russia’s involvement in the war in Ukraine.But she attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the grave of the Unknown Soldier with Putin on Sunday."Because of us [Germans], millions of people died and the Red Army played a decisive role in the liberation of Berlin," she said."We have learned from bitter experiences, difficult situations, and now we have to overcome one by peaceful and diplomatic means," she added, referring to the Ukraine crisis.The chancellor said she regretted that "we still do not have a ceasefire" in eastern Ukraine, despite the "Minsk" ceasefire agreement, but underlined that "we work with Russia, not against her".For his part, Putin admitted both leaders "differ considerably in [their] assessment of the events that led to the anti-constitutional coup in the Ukrainian capital in February 2014”. But he adopted a conciliatory tone."We will exert all possible influence on the authorities in Donetsk and Lugansk [in occupied east Ukraine] in order to ensure that this process goes at the hoped-for speed and quality. Ms Merkel and I agreed to work more closely on the crisis in Ukraine, including through the Normandy format," he said, referring to talks between Ukraine, Russia, Germany, and France.Meanwhile, European Council president Donald Tusk compared "the evil" of World War II with the current war in Ukraine."We have read that evil is banal – [Ukrainian] president Petro Poroshenko knows better than we do today that evil is here again," he said on Saturday (8 May) at a war memorial in Gdansk, in his native Poland."I believe that Europe can be responsible in a different way than in 1939, that Europeans can feel responsible for the entire continent, not just for their [own] people," he said."We've started to wonder which victory the organiser of the parade has designated for the future," Tusk added, on Putin’s 9 May parade.

Putin, Kerry to discuss Ukraine, Syria, Iran, U.S. says-Reuters By Arshad Mohammed and Katya Golubkova-may 11,15-yahoonews

WASHINGTON/MOSCOW (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Russia, on Tuesday to discuss Ukraine and other issues, the United States said on Monday in a statement that made no mention of their deep disagreements.Relations between Russia and the West are at their lowest ebb since the end of the Cold War because of Moscow's March 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its backing for pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine. The West has imposed economic sanctions on Russia, triggering retaliatory measures by Moscow.The U.S. State Department announced the talks and indirectly alluded to the disagreements, saying the trip aimed "to maintain direct lines of communication with senior Russian officials and to ensure U.S. views are clearly conveyed."The two sides plan to discuss Syria, where they disagree on how to end the civil war engulfing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and Iran, where they are seeking an agreement to curb Tehran's nuclear program by June 30, the State Department said.The Russian foreign ministry also announced Kerry's visit to the Black Sea resort but said nothing about his meeting Putin, saying he would see Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and blaming Washington for many global problems.Russia denies Western and Ukrainian accusations that it is arming the pro-Russian separatists battling the government and supporting them with its own military forces. More than 6,100 people have been killed since April 2014 in the Ukraine crisis.Washington has raised the possibility of providing arms to help Ukrainian government forces, but key European countries such as Germany remain opposed to this.In a sign of Western displeasure over Ukraine, the leaders of the United States, Germany, and France skipped a military parade in Moscow on Saturday marking the 70th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany."Russia-U.S. relations are undergoing difficult times caused by Washington’s purposeful unfriendly actions," the Russian foreign ministry said."Groundlessly making Russia responsible for the Ukraine crisis which was largely triggered by the United States itself, in 2014...Barack Obama's administration chose a path to cut back bilateral ties, proclaimed policy toward 'isolating' our country at the international scene and demanded support to its confrontational steps from countries who traditionally follow Washington's track," the Russian foreign ministry added.(Reporting by Katya Golubkova; Editing by Gareth Jones and Chizu Nomiyama)

Texas, Arkansas tornadoes kill at least four, demolish homes-Reuters By Lisa Maria Garza and Steve Barnes-may 11,15-yahoonews

VAN, Texas/LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Reuters) - Emergency crews were cleaning up on Monday from tornadoes that killed at least four people and injured 50 others in Texas and Arkansas that were part of a twister series to hit central states overnight, flattening buildings and snapping power lines.A husband and wife were killed in their mobile home in Van, Texas, about 70 miles (113 km) southeast of Dallas, a town of about 2,500 people where dozens of homes were reduced to splinters.Near the west Arkansas town of Nashville, a baby girl about 18 months old was pulled from the wreckage of a mobile home where her parents died in a tornado there. About 10 people were injured in the state."It’s an absolute miracle," Howard County coroner John Gray said of the girl. "The storm just picked the trailer up and flipped it."In Van, workers with search dogs have been going over the wreckage looking for eight adults who are unaccounted for, raising the possibility the death toll will rise."This storm spun up real fast and the warning time was extremely limited," Van Zandt County Fire Marshal Chuck Allen said.In what is probably the strongest tornado to hit the town in more than 70 years, neighbors sought comfort in front of destroyed houses and residents packed up whatever belongings they could find as they walked to evacuation shelters.Authorities said 43 people in Texas were taken by ambulance.-to hospitals with injuries and several more arrived on their own."Van is a strong city - strong community. We will rebuild," Van Zandt County Judge Don Kirkpatrick told the same news conference.More severe weather was on tap for many central states on Monday. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for large parts of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.White House spokesman Josh Earnest told a press briefing on Monday that President Barack Obama is receiving updates on the storm situation. The White House has not received an official request for federal aid but the Federal Emergency Management Agency is closely monitoring the situation.About two dozen tornadoes were reported on Sunday in a region stretching from Texas to South Dakota from storm systems that brought heavy rain, hail, high winds and flooding, the National Weather Service reported.One person was killed in North Texas on Saturday in a separate tornado series.(Reporting and writing by Jon Herskovitz in Austin; Additional reporting by the Washington Bureau; Editing by Doina Chiacu and Eric Walsh)
