HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

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

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

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

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

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(THE FALSE POPE WHO DEFECTED FROM THE CHRISTIAN FAITH) causeth all,(IN THE WORLD ) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(MICROCHIP IMPLANT)

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:(WORLD LEADER) for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM (6006006)OR(60020202006)(SOME KIND OF NUMBER IMPLANTED IN THE MICROCHIP THAT TELLS THE WORLD DICTATOR AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT YOU GIVE YOUR TOTAL ALLIGIENCE TO HIM AND NOT JESUS)(ITS AN ETERNAL DECISION YOU MAKE)(YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN DESTINY)(YOU TAKE THE DICTATORS NAME OR NUMBER UNDER YOUR SKIN,YOUR DOOMED TO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND TORMENTS FOREVER,NEVER ENDING MEANT ONLY FOR SATAN AND HIS ANGELS,NOT HUMAN BEINGS).OR YOU REFUSE THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT AND GO ON THE SIDE OF KING JESUS AND RULE FOREVER WITH HIM ON EARTH.YOU CHOOSE,ITS YOUR DECISION.

REVELATION 6:5-6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

Iran determined to reclaim its share in global oil market: Zanganeh-HomeIranEnergy-Wed Sep 2, 2015 12:32PM-presstv

Iran's oil minister says the Islamic Republic is determined to reclaim its share in global oil markets once sanctions imposed on the country’s energy sector are lifted.“Immediately after lifting sanctions, it’s our right to return to the level of production we historically had,” Bijan Zangeneh said, adding, “We have no other choice.”The Iranian minister made the remarks in an interview with Bloomberg, which was published on Wednesday, at the Iranian Oil Ministry in Tehran.Iran lost part of its share in the global oil market after sanctions were imposed on the country by the United States and the European Union at the beginning of 2012, with Western countries claiming that there was diversion in Iran's nuclear program toward military purposes. Iran rejected Western countries’ claims categorically, insisting that its civilian nuclear program was only meant for peaceful purposes.Iran reached an agreement with the P5+1 group of countries – the US, the UK, France, Germany, China, and Russia – in Vienna on July 14, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). According to JCPOA, sanctions against Iran's economic sectors, including oil and gas industry, will be lifted in return for certain restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear program.Elsewhere in his interview, Zangeneh said Iran plans to produce 3.8-3.9 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil by March 2016.Iran's Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh during interview with Bloomberg at his office in Iranian Oil Ministry ©SHANA-He noted that the country will raise its output by 500,000 bpd soon after sanctions are lifted and by 1 million bpd within the following five months.He added that Iran's oil output currently stands at 2.8 million bpd, which is the highest level the country has achieved in three years, and is exporting more than 1 million bpd.Referring to the drastic oil price fall in global markets, the Iranian oil minister emphasized that the oil price slump will not slow Iran's return to the market.Oil has dropped by about half in the past year from more than USD 100 a barrel in September 2014 after the 12-member Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decided during meetings in December 2014 and June 2015 not to reduce output despite a global crude glut.In another part of his interview, Zangeneh said most OPEC members would like to see crude prices at $70-$80 a barrel and the organization does not need to coordinate with other oil suppliers to determine output levels.An oil price at $70-$80 a barrel would be “fair,” he said, adding that OPEC is open to coordinating its action with non-members, although it won’t wait for others to determine or approve its action.

Iran and Saudi Arabia on a collision course over oil at Opec-Oil minister says Iran will start pumping an extra 1m barrels per day of crude after nuclear sanctions are lifted by the West-Andrew Critchlow in Vienna-1:51PM BST 05 Jun 2015-telegraph

After a week of meetings of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) in Vienna, one thing is clear: Iran and Saudi Arabia are on a collision course that could eventually break the world's largest oil producing group apart.Faced with Saudi Arabia's stubborn determination to keep Opec pumping at full choke, Iran's oil minister Bijan Zanganeh has upped the stakes in this game of double bluff between the Middle East's two dominant political forces. He has confidently stated that the Islamic Republic will pump an additional 1m barrels per day (bpd) of crude within months of nuclear sanctions being lifted by the West.The move - assuming that Iran agrees to all US demands to curb its nuclear ambitions by the deadline on June 30 - effectively fires the starting gun in a race among Opec's most powerful producers including Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq to gain a bigger share of the market. It is a race that will be run regardless of the havoc it will cause within the group's smaller producers who face complete economic meltdown.Tensions are running high between oil giants Iran and Saudi Arabia-Instead of emphasising consensus and a mutually beneficial production policy to work for all of Opec's 12 members, Mr Al-Naimi now talks in terms of countries being "free to do what they want". This begs the question: what is the point of Opec if it is just a platform for Iran and Saudi Arabia to wage economic war against each other to the detriment of all the group’s other members?In Riyadh, the country’s new ruler, King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, faces the risk of his family’s closest allies, the US, suddenly changing sides. It could see them shifting their support to an increasingly reformist Iran should a deal to lift sanctions be reached this summer. Such a move could see political power in the Middle East tilt irreversibly towards the Shia Muslim majority in the Gulf region. That could ultimately threaten the future of the House of Saud.Saudi Arabia’s political dilemma has been further complicated by Iranian support of Houthi rebels which it is fighting in Yemen. It also faces encroachment within its own borders of terrorists connected to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). Throughout the region, the kingdom and its Sunni allies appear under siege, while in Iraq only Iranian forces appear capable of holding back the Sunni-Muslim Isil horde.It is becoming increasingly apparent that Saudi Arabia’s insistence last November, to force Opec to essentially allow oil prices to fall, was a move aimed not at crippling US shale oil producers; this has failed to happen, with America’s oil output now at a 44-year record high. Instead, it was to allow Saudi Arabia to increase its own production to levels well above 10m bpd, while impoverishing most of its partners in Opec and, most notably, its major rival in the Middle East, Iran.Sanctions against Iran had already exacted a heavy price in Tehran before the blow of the current oil price slump hit home. President Hassan Rouhani said last October that income from crude sales had fallen by 30pc. That was before the price of crude slumped to a multi-year low around $43 per barrel. Starved of the foreign currency earnings from oil, Iran has found it increasingly tough to support its allies in the Middle East, who also happen to be Saudi Arabia’s natural enemies among Shia Islam.However, it’s not just Iran which has felt the pain of Saudi Arabia’s willingness to tolerate weaker oil prices in return for freedom to pump more crude. Oil revenues for the whole of Opec are to fall by 46pc this year to around $446bn (£291bn), according to the Energy Information Administration. Even with a small recovery in prices this year, Opec producers such as Nigeria, Venezuela and Algeria are being pushed to breaking point by the civil war being waged by the group’s most powerful members.Nigeria’s new President, Muhammadu Buhari, warned just days before the start of the Opec meetings in Vienna that the African country’s economy was in “deep trouble” because of the slump in oil prices, caused largely by Saudi Arabia’s policies. However, because of the chaos now gripping Nigeria’s oil industry, the country was unable to send a minister to present its case in Austria. Its former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, faces corruption allegations.Saudi Arabia and its close knit Gulf allies within Opec – such as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait – are in the unique position of having vast foreign currency holdings and sovereign wealth investments they can draw on to see them through the current spell of weaker prices. With over $800bn in foreign currency reserves, Riyadh can absorb the fiscal devastation that is being caused by lower prices.Iran has also tried to break Saudi Arabia’s domination of Opec behind the scenes. Officials from the Islamic Republic approached Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah, Qatar’s respected former oil minister, to replace the current secretary general of Opec, Abdalla Salem el-Badri. After nine years at the head of the organisation, Mr el-Badri is thought to be too sympathetic to Saudi Arabia’s cause within the group.Faced with being swamped by a tidal wave of Saudi crude and its overbearing influence within Opec, Iran has decided to respond by signalling its intention to increase supplies should it be freed from the shackles of sanctions. This it appears willing to do regardless of Opec’s decision to leave its production ceiling unchanged at 30m bpd. A flood of Iranian crude flowing into an already oversupplied market would exert overwhelming downward pressure on oil prices, which continue to trade at around 40pc below last year's peak due to a global glut of supply.Of course, Opec has endured even tougher times and deeper divisions among its members before. The group survived the tensions caused by Iran-Iraq war and the turmoil of the Arab Spring. However, the tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia at Opec is now palpable and it is only a matter of time before these two oil giants come to blows.


Crude Oil Climbs as U.S. Equity Rebound Bolsters Demand Optimism-Mark Shenk-Updated on September 2, 2015 — 3:28 PM EDT-bloomberg

Oil climbed as a rebound in U.S. equities bolstered optimism that economic growth will strengthen in the world’s biggest crude-consuming nation.Futures climbed 1.9 percent in New York as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index ended a two-day rout. Prices tumbled earlier after the Energy Information Administration said U.S. crude supplies rose 4.67 million barrels last week, the most since April. A 900,000-barrel gain was projected by analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Refineries processing crude reduced operating rates as the summer driving season neared its end.Futures tumbled 7.7 percent Tuesday after the biggest three-day rally in 25 years amid speculation that a global glut that drove prices into a bear market will be prolonged as China’s economy slows. Crude will trade at $40 to $60 a barrel into 2016 as rising supplies overwhelm demand, according to Ian Taylor, chief executive officer of Vitol Group BV, the biggest independent oil trader."There’s a lot of price chasing going on," Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York, said by phone. "Some traders are probably taking a cue from the S&P, but that’s a risky strategy given the physical fundamentals and the likelihood of additional Iranian supply, which seems to be rising by the day."Market Movement-West Texas Intermediate for October delivery rose 84 cents to settle at $46.25 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures traded in a $3.56 range.Brent for October settlement increased 94 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $50.50 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark crude closed at a $4.25 premium to WTI.The Chicago Board Options Exchange Crude Oil Volatility Index climbed to the highest level since March 17 on Tuesday. The gauge tracks hedging costs on the U.S. Oil Fund, the biggest exchange-traded fund tracking WTI."There’s a lot of froth, a lot of short-term swings based on very little," Evans said. "This is a lot of churn."Crude inventories rose to 455.4 million barrels, leaving supplies almost 100 million barrels above the five-year seasonal average.Coiled Spring-"This market is like coiled spring waiting for a piece of data to move materially on," said Rob Thummel, a managing director and portfolio manager at Tortoise Capital Advisors LLC in Leawood, Kansas, who helps manage $16.9 billion. "A resolution to the issues in China isn’t expected anytime soon, inventories are high and not going away anytime soon and I don’t think OPEC will take any action."Refineries operated at 92.8 percent of their capacity, down 1.7 percentage points. U.S. refiners cut operating rates during September in nine of the past 10 years as gasoline demand decreases with the end of summer’s driving season on Labor Day, which falls on Sept. 7 this year.Iranian Plans-Iran will boost output by 1 million barrels a day as sanctions on its exports are removed, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said. The fourth-biggest member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries plans to pump 3.8 million to 3.9 million barrels of oil a day by March, Zanganeh said in an interview in Tehran."We’re volatile because there are competing forces at work in the market," Tom Finlon, Jupiter, Florida-based director of Energy Analytics Group LLC, said by phone. "The Iranian oil minister said they would raise production at any cost, which is weighing heavily on the market while U.S. production is falling and refinery maintenance season is pending."

When Will It End? History Shows U.S. Stocks Rebound Needs Months-Anna-Louise Jackson-September 2, 2015 — 2:55 PM EDT-bloomberg

Investors conditioned to expect quick recoveries from equity stumbles may need patience after U.S. stocks fell into the first correction in four years.Judging by prior 10 percent drops in this bull market, it could take until the end of 2015 as investors await a return to levels last seen in May. The gauge has fallen as much as 12 percent since reaching a high that month.The S&P 500’s rally that began in March 2009 has been marked by two previous corrections: a 16 percent selloff from April to July in 2010, and a 19 percent slump over seven months a year later. The benchmark group recovered within about four months of each, so if history is any guide, the market may not be back at its May peak until late December.Looking back at the 25 bull-market corrections since 1950, the one happening now “looks pretty run-of-the-mill,” said Brian Jacobsen, who helps oversee $250 billion as chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Advantage Funds in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The median recovery time in those cases has been about 90 days from the trough.If the current rout’s low of 1,867.61 on Aug. 25 holds, Jacobsen’s data suggest the market could be back to its May record “around the time we’re all gathered around tables for Thanksgiving and Christmas,” he said.Living through the rebound will require a strong stomach as swings in stocks double from earlier in the year, according to Jacobsen’s analysis.“The uniform message is the recovery can be very bumpy,” he said in a phone interview. “It moves in fits and starts. We could be looking at heightened volatility in the markets until about Christmas.”Others are even more optimistic. The S&P 500 will end the year at 2,200, according to the median estimate of 21 strategists at brokerages tracked by Bloomberg. That’s 3.2 percent above the May peak of 2,130.82, and 15 percent from yesterday’s close.“The historical trading pattern shows that the S&P 500 typically recovers fully within 3-4 months following the end of a correction,” David Kostin of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. wrote in an Aug. 28 report to clients. “Based on this template, S&P 500 would approach its all-time high in December 2015,” he said, while reiterating his year-end target of 2,100.Three of the strategists say the benchmark index won’t make it back to the record this year, while Jefferies Group LLC’s Sean Darby sees the market declining from its current level. Other skeptics question whether the S&P 500 has found its bottom yet, making it premature to start counting the days to a recovery.“My gut instinct is that we may not have seen the end of this,” David Joy, the Boston-based chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial Inc., said in a phone interview. His firm oversees about $811 billion. “I’m not convinced the downside volatility is over.”Among the most optimistic strategists is Jonathan Golub of RBC Capital Markets LLC. “When the market turns, it’s going to happen much more aggressively than people think,” he said in an Aug. 26 interview on Bloomberg Television. Within the next three months, “we should’ve made up all of the loss that we’ve had.”

Welcome to Quantitative Tightening as $12 Trillion Reserves Fall-Simon Kennedy-Updated on September 2, 2015 — 12:27 PM EDT-bloomberg

The great global monetary tightening of 2015 is under way, but it’s not being led by the Federal Reserve. Even as U.S. policy makers ponder whether to raise interest rates this month, one recent source of central bank liquidity in financial markets is drying up and the loss of it partly explains August’s trading volatility. Behind the drawdown are the foreign exchange reserves run by the central banks. Bolstered following financial crises in the late 1990s as a buffer against capital outflows and falling currencies, such hoards fell to $11.43 trillion in the first quarter from a peak of $11.98 trillion in the middle of last year, according to the International Monetary Fund.Driving the decline is a combination of forces including the economic slowdown and recent devaluation in China, the Fed’s pending rate hike, the collapse of oil and decisions in Switzerland and Japan to cease intervening in currencies.Each means central banks are either paring their reserves to offset an exit of capital or manage currencies, have less money flowing into their economies to salt away or no longer need to sit on as much. Whichever it is, the shrinking of reserves means much less money flowing into the financial system given authorities tended to recycle their cash piles into local currency or liquid assets such as bonds.In the words of Deutsche Bank AG strategist George Saravelos and colleagues, welcome to the world of “quantitative tightening.”Reserve Peak-They predict 2015 will mark the peak of reserve accumulation after two decades of growth with China in the vanguard as its new currency regime means it has to pare reserves to avoid a freefall in the yuan. It has already reduced its holdings to $3.65 trillion from $3.99 trillion in 2014.For markets, Deutsche Bank says less reserve accumulation should mean higher bond yields and a rising dollar against rivals including the euro and yen. There are implications too for other central banks if the resulting rise in market borrowing costs hampers their ability to tighten monetary policy.“This force is likely to be a persistent headwind towards developed market central banks’ exit from unconventional policy in coming years, representing an additional source of uncertainty in the global economy,” Saravelos and colleagues in a report to clients on Tuesday. “The path to ‘normalization’ will likely remain slow and fraught with difficulty.”

RBC's Distressed-Debt Trading Group Said to Lose Trader, Analyst-Laura J Keller Lisa Abramowicz Sridhar Natarajan-September 2, 2015 — 3:15 PM EDT-bloombeg

Matthew Bagley, a distressed-debt trader at Royal Bank of Canada in New York, left the bank along with a debt strategist, according to a person with knowledge of the moves.Bagley departed this week, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Eugene “Gene” Fattore Jr., a debt strategist who worked with Bagley, left last month, the person said.Hannah Sloane, a spokeswoman for RBC, declined to comment.Bagley joined the Toronto-based bank in August 2010 and was previously at Morgan Stanley and Harris Nesbitt, which has since been renamed BMO Capital Markets, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show. Fattore joined RBC in January 2014 and had been at Lazard Ltd. before that, according to Finra records.RBC’s credit team has had several senior-level departures this year. Steve Oplinger, head of U.S. high-yield sales and trading, left for Seaport Global Holdings LLC, while Ian Pearce, who ran European credit trading in London, went to Bank of America Corp. as head of sterling credit trading. Ryan Atkinson, co-head of high-yield debt trading in the U.S., also departed.Distressed-debt investors, who buy beaten-down debt that firms such as mutual-fund managers want to sell, have had a tough year. Jefferies Group and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sustained millions of dollars in losses from their distressed debt trading, people with knowledge of the losses told Bloomberg last week.Some of the world’s biggest banks have been paring back parts of their trading operations to comply with post-crisis regulations. Deutsche Bank AG co-Chief Executive Officer John Cryan is overhauling the firm’s fixed-income division, appointing an executive committee to oversee the debt-trading business and slash costs.

Jun 5, 2015 @ 8:05 AM-Saudi Arabia Lets The World Drown In Oil-Nathan Vardi ,Forbes Staff

To the surprise of nobody, Saudi Arabia and the other OPEC member states decided in Vienna on Friday to maintain production targets of 30 million barrels a day, making sure the world remains flooded with oil. The fact that OPEC—particularly the core countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates— have refused to play their traditional stabilizing role and cut oil production makes it less likely that oil prices will rebound to the $115 a barrel level that was reached about one year ago.With oil trading 40% below its high of one year ago, Saudi Arabia has spent more than $70 billion of its oil reserve since October, will likely run a fiscal deficit of $100 billion in 2015, all while waging a war in Yemen. But for Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, things are kind of going as planned“I’m not stressed, I’m happy,” said Ali al-Naimi, Saudi Arabia’s oil minister at the start of the week. He wasn’t just referring to his upcoming retirement. Saudi Arabia is not only increasing production, it’s increasing capacity. It increased its crude output to 10.3 million barrels a day in April, the highest level in decades. Saudi Arabia has increased investment in drilling. Can the oil kingdom pump 12 million barrels a day? Some seem to think so. There was speculation prior to the OPEC meeting that a potential surprise could see the oil cartel decide to boost production targets.Saudi Arabia, it seems, not only wants to protect market share, but to gain market share. Yes, it wants to inflict pain on U.S. shale energy producers, like EOG Resources EOG +1.30% and Pioneer Natural Resources PXD +1.71%. And the new OPEC policy has caused four U.S. corporate bankruptcies and managed to get the rig count down to 646 from 1609 in October. It also wants to hit another pocket of unconventional North American oil supply, the Canadian oil sands, which is believed to have experienced its lowest production in two years last month.Nevertheless, so far a wall of money coming from financial players has continued to fuel the unconventional North American oil sector, which has proved pretty resilient. Many U.S. energy producers are adapting by, for example, not finishing wells, waiting for prices to rise before using hydraulic fracturing to get more oil out of the ground. U.S. production just hit its highest level in four decades, 9.6 million barrels per day.But Saudi Arabia and OPEC also want to force big oil companies like Exxon and Chevron CVX -0.28% to delay or even cancel big offshore drilling projects. They also want to rein in capacity investments in key non-OPEC countries like Russia and slow challenges from alternative energy sources to oil, ranging from natural gas to green energy. Environmentalists are worried that Saudi Arabia is simply working to “prolong the age of oil.”There certainly will be more oil on global markets this summer. OPEC members have been unleashed to pump wildly–they are already exceeding the production ceiling–and Iran could soon flood the world with more oil if its can get free from sanctions. Brent Crude was trading for $62.61 per barrel after OPEC’s announcement and West Texas Intermediate crude was trading at $58.47.“The hands of the market is basically dominating the scene,” said Mohammed Al Sada, Qatar’s energy minister, at a press conference following the OPEC meeting. “Nonconventional high cost, it will depend on the their resilience to produce at whatever the oil cost is.”
 

China should clearly explain policies to markets - U.S. Treasury-Reuters – sept 1,15-yahoonews

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Tuesday urged China to carefully explain its policy changes to financial markets and to shift its economic focus towards consumer spending so that its economy can keep growing."Critical to China's success is moving forward with market oriented reforms while at the same time carefully communicating policy intentions and actions to financial markets," a senior Treasury official said in a briefing ahead of a meeting of the Group of 20 major economies."(China's) transition towards domestic demand is not only fundamental to China meeting its G20 commitments but also to China being able to continue to grow in the future."(Reporting by Jason Lange; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

French minister: Rich EU states should transfer money to poorer members-"Status quo leads to self-destruction," says Emmanuel Macron.-By Eric Maurice-euobserver

BRUSSELS, 31. Aug, 09:29-French economy minister Emmanuel Macron is calling for "a new foundation of Europe", with a more integrated eurozone and fiscal transfers between richer and poorer countries."Status quo leads to self-destruction," he said in an interview with Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung."Political and economical centrifugal forces are too strong" not to change things, he added.Macron is proposing the creation of a euro commissioner with "extended powers" over the single currency, EU economy and finances, as well as employment and investment policies.This super-commissioner would manage an increased EU budget to protect member states from financial shocks and foster investments."The higher the budget is, the more credible Europe is," Macron said, adding "we need a big leap".He also suggests the eurozone should have its own parliament, composed of "MEPs who belong to eurozone countries".-New treaty-"We can already prepare the modifications of EU treaties", and implement them after the French and German elections in 2017, the French minister said."In 2018 or 2019, Europe would stand on a new, better basis".But this vision, he notes, "breaks a German taboo" on the issue of transfer union."If the member states, like before, are not ready for any kind of financial transfers in the monetary union, we can forget the euro and the eurozone," he said."There cannot be a monetary union with no financial equalisation. The strong must help".Macron's interview follows proposals made by French president Francois Hollande in July for a more integrated eurozone.But he has dropped Hollande's idea of a "eurozone vanguard", while including the controversial transfer union proposal.Whether Macron is acting as Hollande's messenger to speak to Germany's government and public opinion, or trying to boost his own stature at the European level, is unclear.The 37-year old minister ruffled feathers in France last week when he criticised the 35-hour week, saying that "the left was wrong when it thought France would be better if it worked less".The comments embarrassed Hollande's socialist government.

Economy shrinks in second quarter, pushes Canada into technical recession-The Canadian PressBy Andy Blatchford, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – sept 1,15-yahoonews

OTTAWA - Canada's economy hit reverse for the second straight quarter of 2015 — knocking the country backwards into its first technical recession in six years, fresh Statistics Canada data revealed Tuesday.But the data suggests the recessionary dip could, perhaps, already be something of the past.The federal agency said real gross domestic product contracted at an annual pace of 0.5 per cent in the April-June quarter, which followed a revised decline of 0.8 per cent in the first three months of 2015 from its original estimate of a 0.6 per cent drop.However, there were positives tucked in the highly anticipated figures that almost immediately echoed on the campaign trail.The second-quarter drop was only half as steep as a consensus of economists had predicted and there was evidence that the decline had finally bottomed out.Canada's GDP climbed in the month of June by 0.5 per cent after shrinking over the first five months. The last time the economy experienced a one-month gain of at least 0.5 per cent was July 2013 when it grew by 0.63 per cent.That June increase was led by a 3.1 per cent boost in natural resources extraction — the category's first gain following seven consecutive months of decline."There's nothing to cheer about in the Canadian GDP numbers, but there's no reason for any more booing than we've already had," CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld said Tuesday."The economy is contracting through the first half of the year, but the solid gain in June suggests that we'll at least get a breather with a return to growth in the third quarter."The new batch of data added fuel to the heated, ongoing political debate over how best to respond to the weakened economy as parties battle for support ahead of the Oct. 19 federal election.On Tuesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose Conservative party has pinned its re-election hopes on its economic record, tried to highlight the positives in the new data."The Canadian economy as a whole is now growing, according to the June figures," Harper told reporters."That is the reality of the situation — it is good news."He also reiterated his stay-the-course mantra, insisting the country must ride out external economic and market turbulence whipped up in places like China.The Tory leader has frequently cited forecasts that predict the economy will rebound in the second half of the year, including a projection by the Bank of Canada.The central bank, however, has downgraded its growth forecast for 2015 and cut its trendsetting interest rate twice this year to cushion the blow of low crude prices.The hobbled economy has so far shaped up to be the primary issue of the campaign — and Harper's opponents have used his record as a bull's-eye for their attacks.The last time the economy contracted over two consecutive quarters was in 2009 during the Great Recession, when GDP pulled back by 8.7 per cent in the first quarter and 3.6 per cent in the second.Drilling deeper into the second-quarter data, the numbers showed the decline in the economy reached beyond natural resources extraction, which contracted by 4.5 per cent.Business investment in machinery and equipment dropped 4.6 per cent while non-residential structures fell 2.3 per cent, the third straight quarterly decline.On the growth side, a considerable amount of the gain in the quarter came from household consumption — rising by 0.6 per cent — at a time when interest rates remained low. As a result, the household savings rate declined.Exports also crept up in the second quarter by 0.1 per cent after contracting for two consecutive quarters. Meanwhile, positives in the June data suggest the expected turnaround forecasters have been banking on could be underway.On a monthly basis, Statistics Canada said wholesale trade rose by one per cent in June after a 1.1-per-cent decrease in May and a 1.6-per-cent in April.Manufacturing output rose by 0.4 per cent after contracting by 1.6 per cent in May.The finance and insurance sector grew by 0.7 per cent in June and the arts and entertainment industry rose by 6.4 per cent, thanks in large part to Canada's role as host of the FIFA Women's World Cup."While a technical recession was confirmed, its amplitude is relatively mild and there is every suggestion that it has already ended," Jimmy Jean, an economist with Desjardins Capital Markets wrote in a note to clients.Shenfeld said, however, while the early signposts are positive, the further retreat in oil prices recently could lead to continued pullback in capital spending in the energy sector."It's not like we're out of the woods yet," Shenfeld said.The quarterly reading Tuesday is also expected to intensify the economic debate over the term technical recession.Harper has side-stepped campaign-trail questions about whether Canada was in recession this year. He also declined to define a recession when asked about it earlier this week, saying he thought it was more important to "describe the reality of the situation rather than to have labels."Shenfeld said it's one thing to call it a "technical" recession, but he noted that any recession he's ever seen in historical data has also had a decline in employment."We haven't yet seen a net decline in employment that would characterize every recession that Canada has ever had," he said.Follow @AndyBlatchford on Twitter.

Kurds suspect another chemical attack by Islamic State in Iraq-Reuters-sept 1,15-yahoonews

ERBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Kurdish authorities said on Tuesday they suspected a homemade rocket fired by Islamic State at their peshmerga forces in northern Iraq contained chemical substances, accusing the Islamist insurgents of an increasing use of chemical weapons.The Kurdistan Region's Security Council (KRSC) said the attack had taken place along the front line north of Mosul on Aug. 31, and one peshmerga fighter was receiving treatment in hospital.A "considerable amount" of yellow smoke was produced, it said.Samples taken from the site of another attack earlier this year tested positive for chlorine, and at least two other incidents are being investigated."This is one of an increasing number of attacks in recent months suspected of carrying chemical substances," the KRSC said in a statement."We remain deeply concerned with the escalation and delivery method of these attacks, and urgently call on the International Coalition to provide protective equipment to peshmerga forces," it said, referring to the foreign powers, led by the United States, supporting the fight against Islamic State.The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague has expressed its concern about the alleged use of chemical weapons in the region but has said either Baghdad or the U.N. Security Council would have to make a request if the OPCW were to investigate.(Reporting by Isabel Coles and by Anthony Deutsch in Amsterdam; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)

Satellite images confirm major temple destroyed in Syria's Palmyra: U.N-Reuters-sept 1,15-yahoonews

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Satellite images have confirmed the destruction of the Temple of Bel, which was one of the best preserved Roman-era sites in the Syrian city of Palmyra, a United Nations agency said, after activists said the hardline Islamic State group had targeted it.A comparison of before and after images shows the damage to the temple at the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Geneva-based United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) said."We can confirm the destruction of the main building of the Temple of Bel as well as a row of columns in its immediate vicinity," the agency said in an email.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group and other activists said on Sunday that Islamic State had destroyed part of the more than 2,000-year-old temple, one of Palmyra's most important monuments.This came a week after the militants blew up another smaller site in the central desert city.Palmyra was one of the most important cultural centers of the ancient world, according to cultural agency UNESCO, which has described it as the crossroads of several civilizations. Its main colonnaded street is 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) long and forms the monumental axis of the city.The head of UNESCO said in a statement the destruction of what it described "as one of the most important 1st Century religious monuments in the Middle East," was an "intolerable crime against civilization"."The power of culture is greater than that of all forms of extremism and nothing can stop it," Director-General Irina Bokova said."Whoever saw Palmyra remains forever marked by the memory of the city which embodies the dignity of the entire Syrian people and humanity's loftiest aspirations," she added.Information on events inside Palmyra has been patchy since the militants seized it from government forces in May. Activists say the fighters are closely monitoring communications inside the city.Islamic State has declared a caliphate in territory it holds across Syria and Iraq and has destroyed other monuments it says are pagan and sacrilegious.UNESCO has called such acts war crimes and says Islamic State seeks to wipe out evidence of Syria's diverse heritage.Before the capture of the city, Syrian officials said they had moved hundreds of ancient statues to safe locations.Last month Islamic State beheaded the guardian of Palmyra's ruins, Khaled al-Asaad, an 82-year-old Syrian archaeologist who had looked after the site for more than four decades, according to Syria's antiquities chief.(Reporting by Sylvia Westall; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky/Hugh Lawson)

09/ 1/2015-Pope: “During the Jubilee all priests will be able to absolve faithful of the sin of abortion”-Pope Francis in the confessional-In a letter Francis has written to Fisichella , he states that Jubilee Indulgences will be granted in all prison chapels: the prison cell door will be like a Holy Door. Absolution will be fully valid, even when granted by priests from Lefebvre’s Fraternity of St. Pius X during confession. And faithful will be able to obtain the Jubilee Indulgence through works of mercy-ANDREA TORNIELLI-vatican insider

vatican city-During the Jubilee all priests will be able to absolve faithful of the sin of abortion during confession. Pope Francis has written a letter to Archbishop Rino Fisichela - President of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation and head of Jubilee initiatives - containing three significant new points that are being introduced on the occasion of the Extraordinary Holy Year of mercy.The new points mentioned in the letter dated 1 September are as follows: Point no. 1: All priests throughout the world, not just “missionaries of mercy”, will be able to absolve faithful of the sin of abortion during the Jubilee. Point no. 2: The Jubilee Indulgence will be granted not only in Rome’s basilicas and or in sanctuaries and the cathedrals of the various dioceses, but also in all prison chapels around the world. And lastly, point no.3: in order to encourage steps towards full communion with the Fraternity of St. Pius X founded by traditionalist archbishop Marcel lefebvre, Francis has written that sacramntal absolutions administered by priests of the Fraternity will be fully valid even if the individual who grants them does not ordinarily have the power and authority to do so.“One of the serious problems of our time,” the Pope writes in his letter to Fisichella, “is clearly the changed relationship with respect to life. A widespread and insensitive mentality has led to the loss of the proper personal and social sensitivity to welcome new life. The tragedy of abortion is experienced by some with a superficial awareness, as if not realizing the extreme harm that such an act entails. Many others, on the other hand, although experiencing this moment as a defeat, believe they they have no other option.”“I think in particular of all the women who have resorted to abortion. I am well aware of the pressure that has led them to this decision,” the letter goes on to say. “I know that it is an existential and moral ordeal. I have met so many women who bear in their heart the scar of this agonizing and painful decision. What has happened is profoundly unjust; yet only understanding the truth of it can enable one not to lose hope. The forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one who has repented, especially when that person approaches the Sacrament of Confession with a sincere heart in order to obtain reconciliation with the Father.”“For this reason too,” Francis adds, “I have decided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to concede to all priests for the Jubilee Year the discretion to absolve of the sin of abortion those who have procured it and who, with contrite heart, seek forgiveness for it. May priests fulfil this great task by expressing words of genuine welcome combined with a reflection that explains the gravity of the sin committed, besides indicating a path of authentic conversion by which to obtain the true and generous forgiveness of the Father who renews all with his presence.”The first decision clearly shows the Bishop of Rome’s will to allow as many people as possible to re-establish contact with the Church and the sacraments, without leaving anyone out. A woman who procures a successful abortion incurs an automatic latae sententiae excommunication (1398), as well as those who persuade her to go ahead with the abortion and and those who carry out or assist in the abortion, cannot ordinarily be absolved by just any confessor, but only by a bishop or certain priests appointed by him. On certain occasions, such as Lent or Advent, some bishops extend this faculty to all the priests in their diocese. Francis’ decision makes this faculty universal, allowing all confessors to pardon those who have had an abortion or procured an abortion.The second decision highlights the special attention Francis wishes to give to those behind bars, doing all that he can in order to ensure that inmates who would like to obtain a Jubilee Indulgence in prison, can.“My thoughts also turn to those incarcerated, whose freedom is limited,” Francis writes. “The Jubilee Year has always constituted an opportunity for great amnesty, which is intended to include the many people who, despite deserving punishment, have become conscious of the injustice they worked and sincerely wish to re-enter society and make their honest contribution to it.”“May they all be touched in a tangible way by the mercy of the Father who wants to be close to those who have the greatest need of his forgiveness. They may obtain the Indulgence in the chapels of the prisons. May the gesture of  directing their thought and prayer to the Father each time they cross the threshold of their cell signify for them their passage through the Holy Door, because the mercy of God is able to transform hearts, and is also able to transform bars into an experience of freedom.”Finally, the third decision. Francis writes: “A final consideration concerns those faithful who for various reasons choose to attend churches officiated by priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X. This Jubilee Year of Mercy excludes no one. From various quarters, several Brother Bishops have told me of their good faith and sacramental practice, combined however with an uneasy situation from the pastoral standpoint. I trust that in the near future solutions may be found to recover full communion with the priests and superiors of the Fraternity.”“ In the meantime, motivated by the need to respond to the good of these faithful, through my own disposition, I establish that those who during the Holy Year of Mercy  approach these priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation shall validly and licitly receive the absolution of their sins.”This is a gesture of mercy and of reaching out to the traditionalist priestly fraternity. Lefebvrian priests were never excommunicated and the latae sententiae excommunications incurred by their bishops for being ordained without a papal mandate, was rescinded by Benedict XVI. But Ratzinger himself made it clear that “until the doctrinal questions are clarified, the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers – even though they have been freed of the ecclesiastical penalty – do not legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church”. This means they do not have the power and authority to hear confession. Confession is the only sacrament which requires that the minister is not only legitimately ordained but also has the proper faculties to administer it.On the basis of canon 144 of the Code of Canon law, the Church always seeks to save faithful: “In common error, whether of fact or of law ... the Church supplies executive power of governance for both the external and the internal forum.” It is therefore assumed that faithful are not fully conscious of the irregular status of the Fraternity’s priests. In any case this is just a transitional phase and the current situation is not expected to continue for long. With the decision set out in his letter to Fisichella, Pope Francis – with the good of faithful at heart – grants full legitimacy to confessions administered by Lefebvrian priests during the Jubilee Year.In his letter to Fisichella, Francis stresses the conditions traditionally in place for faithful to be granted the Jubilee Indulgence: “a brief pilgrimage to the Holy Door,  open in every Cathedral or in the churches designated by the Diocesan Bishop, and in the four Papal Basilicas in Rome, as a sign of the deep desire for true conversion;  participation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist with a reflection on mercy; the accompaniment of these celebrations with the profession of faith and with prayer for the Pope and for the intentions that “[the Pope] bear[s] in his heart for the good of the Church and of the entire world”. The sick and those who are confined to the home and cannot therefore reach the Holy Door, will be granted the indulgence through prayer and by following the celebration via various means of communication.Francis highlights that the Jubilee Indulgence can also be obtained for the deceased and recalls the importance of spiritual and corporal works of mercy, adding that “each time that one of the faithful personally performs one or more of these actions, he or she shall surely obtain the Jubilee Indulgence”.

08/30/2015-Ratzinger at mass with former pupils: “The epidemic of the heart leads to corruption”-The Emeritus Pope said “inner hygiene” is key and “the truth, love and goodness that come from God, make man pure”-vatican insider staff-vatican insider

Turin-“The truth, love and goodness that come from God, make man pure and truth, love and goodness come together in the Word which brings liberates a world that no longer thinks of God from ‘forgetfulness’.” This was at the heart of the homily which the Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI pronounced during a mass he presided over this morning in the Teutonic Cemetery church in the Vatican. The mass was attended by members of the Schuelerkreis (Ratzinger’s “student circle”) and the New Schuelerkreis, who gathered at Castel Gandolfo in recent days to reflect on the theme “How to speak to God today”. The priest and philosopher Tomas Halik also participated. The news was posted on the Ratzinger Foundation website.Does not the evil that afflicts us come from the outside? This was the essence of the question posed by the Emeritus Pope in his German homily. We need to be cleansed of all the impurity that exists out there: “We could respond to the many illnesses and sometimes epidemics that threaten us, by maintaining an external cleanliness,” Benedict XVI said. It is important to care for our exterior in this way so that death does not prevail, the Emeritus Pope said. But this is not enough, he added, because there is also “the epidemic of the heart” to consider, that inner epidemic that “leads to corruption and other filth, the kind of filth that drives man to think only of himself and not of goodness.” So, aside from worship, ethos, “inner hygiene” in other words, also plays a decisive role: “What does a pure man do? What is the real power of purification? How does one come to have a cleansed heart?” Benedict XVI asked.“In another passage of the Gospel,” he continued, “the Lord says to his people: ‘You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you’.” So we become pure by means of the Word: “The Word is Jesus Christ himself and we come across the Word even in those who reflect It, those who show us the face of God and reflect his meekness, his humble heart, his simplicity, his lovingness, his sincerity.”The mass was followed by a ceremony for the inauguration of the “Pope Benedict-Joseph Ratzinger Hall”, which the Pope Emeritus blessed. The ceremony took place in the buildings adjacent to the Teutonic Cemetery. In his introductory speech, Mgr. Hans Peter Fischer, Rector of the Teutonic College, announced that a ceremony will be held on 18 November to mark the opening of the Joseph Ratzinger-Benedict XVI Roman Library. The library is entirely dedicated to the works and life of Joseph Ratzinger as a scholar and a Pope and is housed inside the Library of the Teutonic College and of the Roman Institute of the Gorres Society in the Vatican.Present at today’s ceremony – amongst others – were cardinals Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna and Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and Archbishop Georg Gänswein, Prefect of the Papal Household and personal secretary to Benedict XVI.

08/30/2015 -Bartholomew I joins Pope in denouncing climate change-Francis and Bartholomew I-In a message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation promoted “also by the Roman Catholic Church”, the Patriarch called on all those who perceive the risk of climate change, to speak out-vatican insider staff-vatican insider

Turin-“How many of us perceive the danger of climate change that is intensifying on our planet each day as a result of human actions. We raise our voices to warn against this and invite everyone to think about what can be done ‘to prevent life from dying out as a result of wealth’.” Patriarch Bartholomew I wrote this in a message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, “an initiative of the Ecumenical Patriarch, which the Roman Catholic Church recently joined in”.The Patriarch quoted Pope Francis’ “Laudato Si’” encyclical, which denounces the slow but inescapable transformation of the earth into “an immense pile of filth” and affirmed that “this filth is not only material but mainly spiritual. This filth essentially comes from the emotions of human beings themselves.” What we are calling for, he explained, is for “inevitable physiological changes in the climate to take place and be allowed within the limits of human tolerance on the one hand - for mankind’s own survival - and of nature’s tolerance on the other - for its vitality.”“As Orthodox Christians,” Bartholomew added, addressing first and foremost the faithful of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, “with our firm faith in the Creator of all things, the Almighty Lord,  we are called to act in an evangelical and apostolic way also with regards to the protection of all creation: that is, to bring to life the evangelical message in today’s disturbed world and to reawaken humans who have been through many trials from their spiritual slumber, using all sorts of creative means, and to transmit the message of hope and peace and real joy: a message of peace and joy of Christ.”

9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Opinion-Why the world’s last true frontier is heating up fast-The Arctic is coming under the spotlight for reasons other than global warming-By Sijbren de Jong and Lucia van Geuns-sept 1,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:52-The Arctic is coming increasingly under the spotlight for reasons other than global warming.The region, home to some of the world’s largest undiscovered hydrocarbon reserves, is becoming a new frontier for a geopolitical struggle between Russia and the West.On 24 August, Russia kicked off a series of large-scale military exercises in the Arctic. A week earlier, Moscow informed the United Nations that it had laid claim to a staggering 1.2 million square kilometres of the Arctic shelf.Russia also plans to reopen military bases it abandoned after the Soviet Union collapsed. Although the Kremlin insists its military moves are purely defensive, they come at a time of heightened tensions with the West over Ukraine that saw Russia increase its air patrols probing Nato’s borders, including in the Arctic.So, why is Russian President Vladimir Putin asserting his ground in the Arctic? Is this mere bluster to conceal a position of fear? Or are the Kremlin’s latest moves prompted by sheer economic necessity? The answer is both, and the West ought to be profoundly worried about it.Russia in a bind-Russia finds itself in a bind over Ukraine. Contrary to the rapid takeover of Crimea, the conflict in Donbass has been fought to a standstill. Moreover, it looks unlikely that Moscow is in a position to increase the size of the land currently controlled by the separatists. It simply cannot afford it.The collapse of the price of oil has ransacked the Russian economy, sent the Rouble into a nosedive, and ensured inflation is acting like it is 1999 again.The Kremlin’s decision to defy Western sanctions by imposing countermeasures of its own such as banning and destroying western food imports did not go down well with the Russian population.Putin’s approval rating – although at a level US President Barack Obama could only dream of – dipped due to the country’s sluggish economy and the Rouble’s freefall.By way of diversion from domestic troubles, what could be better than to demonstrate your country’s might?Although plausible, there is much more to Putin’s moves than meets the eye. The oil price rout has rocked the financial foundations of Russia’s state apparatus. Moscow’s traditional earning model, built on extensive oil and gas revenues, has come under severe stress as a result.This situation is amplified by the financial and sectoral sanctions imposed by the West.Major oil and gas companies, such as Rosneft and Gazprom, are deprived of invaluable technology to explore Arctic and unconventional oil and gas resources; something Russia will desperately rely on in the long term if it wishes to stay a leading oil and gas exporter. Some commentators openly wonder whether the recession in Russia will result in social upheaval.The pressure is certainly increasing, and recent reshuffles in the elite around Putin, such as the stepping down of Vladimir Yakunin, the powerful head of Russia’s state railways and long-time Putin confidant, may indeed suggest that changes are afoot.Rosneft recently saw four out of five of its requests for funding from Russia’s sovereign wealth fund denied. Gazprom, Russia’s national gas behemoth, is hardly in a more enviable position.China gas deal-Putin heralded the May 2014 gas deal with China as the pact of the century. However, given that the contract provides no protection against low oil prices, the project is already on the edge of loss-making.With a second pipeline to China postponed, the Middle Kingdom’s economic downturn effectively hammered the final nail into the coffin of Putin’s much-coveted Asia Pivot.The problem is that if Russia wishes to continue to be a leading oil and gas producer in the future, it must explore new oil and gas finds.Russia’s traditional Siberian fields are aging and its liquefied natural gas plans are taking a hit, with more and more supplies appearing from competitors. And now that China’s energy appetite has stalled, the prospects of the oil price picking up soon are negligible.If it is to survive, Russia needs other resources. These are found in the Arctic. For example, in September 2014, Exxon Mobil and Rosneft announced a major oil find in the Kara Sea, but cooperation had to be suspended due to the souring political climate.In other words, Putin’s sabre-rattling over the Arctic is not just about diverting attention away from a troubled economy at home; it is equally about securing the country’s - and the government’s – long-term future.Why the West should be worried-On 31 August, Obama embarked on a three-day tour of the Arctic, during which he addressed the Conference on Global Leadership in the Arctic.“Glacier”, as the conference is known, is a policy event that brings together Foreign Ministers of Arctic nations and key non-Arctic states, as well as scientists and policy-makers to discuss climate change in the region.Western nations tend to view the Arctic as part of the Global Commons. Given the high stakes described above, it is not clear whether Russia thinks the same. There are ample reasons as to why the West ought to be profoundly concerned about this. Moscow appears to be determined to militarise the region; something Western nations, at least for now, appear unwilling to rival.Also, should a kind of “arms race for the North” take off, there is a genuine risk that these kinds of demonstrations of might are misinterpreted and could trigger an actual conflict.More acutely perhaps, a Russia that is cash-strapped may ultimately decide to engage in Arctic oil and gas exploration “on the cheap” with all the associated risk for the safety of this pristine environment.In touring one of the world’s last true frontiers, Barack Obama would do wise to keep this firmly in mind.Sijbren de Jong is a Strategic Analyst with the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) and Lucia van Geuns is an expert on international oil and gas markets with a particular interest in the Arctic.

Hungary U-turn on migrant trains prompts unrest-Police cleared the migrant camp at Budapest's main train station on Tuesday morning-By Eszter Zalan-sept 1,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 18:39-Hundreds of migrants in Budapest on Tuesday (1 September) demanded to be allowed to go to Germany, after authorities barred them from boarding trains heading west.The crowd of Syrian, Afghan, and Central Asian asylum seekers chanted “Freedom! Freedom!”, “Let us go!”, and “Germany! UN!”.Scuffles also broke out between the migrants and police.On Monday, hundreds of asylum seekers left Budapest for Austria and Germany.But in what appears to be a policy U-turn, police, on Tuesday morning, cordoned off the main train station in Budapest and cleared the migrants’ makeshift camps.They then let only people with proper travel documents on trains, but stopped the migrants, even if they had valid tickets.Almost none of the asylum seekers wants to stay in Hungary, with Germany the preferred destination.Under EU rules, they have to be registered at their point-of-entry into the EU. If they later surface elsewhere, they should be sent back to the country of registration.Berlin said last week it would let Syrian refugees stay in the country regardless of the EU protocol.But German chancellor Angela Merkel told Hungarian authorities they still have to register and process the asylum applications, in an attempt to clear up any misunderstanding.Zoltan Kovacs, the Hungarian government spokesman, did not confirm if Merkel’s comments caused Tuesday’s U-turn.But he told this website “the chancellor’s speech made it clear migrants cannot travel without proper papers”.For his part, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban is going to Brussels on Thursday to meet European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker to clarify the situation.“Every contradiction, which makes this situation more difficult, will be discussed”, said Kovacs, in thinly-veiled criticism of Germany.Speaking about Austria, he added: “We are protecting Europe’s borders. If we do everything we can, we are criticised for it, if we don’t, then Austria does what it does now".He spoke after Vienna reintroduced border controls on the Austria-Hungary border, which is in the EU’s passport-free Schengen area.Austria took the step after police found a truck on an Austrian motorway near Hungary, containing the bodies of 71 refugees who had suffocated.According to official data, 150,400 migrants have come to Hungary so far this year.The figure is triple the number for all of last year (45,000), which was already record-high.Budapest also summoned the Austrian ambassador on Tuesday after Austrian chancellor Werner Faymann condemned Hungary’s prior decision to let the asylum seekers onto trains.Faymann, speaking on state broadcaster ORF on Monday, had said: “Allowing them to simply board in Budapest ... and watching as they are taken to a neighbour [Austria] - that's not politics”.Hungary has also attracted EU criticism for building a razor-wire fence on its border with Serbia.Orban and Weymann, are the only two EU leaders who have refused to take part in the European Commission’s voluntary scheme to relocate asylum seekers and refugees.Following his Juncker meeting, Orban will also meet with Czech, Polish, and Slovak leaders in Prague on Friday.The mini summit is designed to reiterate opposition to any binding EU relocation plan.

Europe embarrassing itself with refugee crisis - Germany's Gabriel-Reuters – sept 1,15- yahoonews

COLOGNE, Germany (Reuters) - The European Union is presenting itself in a "super-awkward and embarrassing" light with its handling of the refugee crisis confronting the bloc, German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said on Tuesday.A crisis rivalling the Balkan wars of the 1990s as Europe's worst since World War Two has polarised and confounded the 28-member EU, which has no effective system to cope with the arrival of hundreds of thousands of poor and desperate people.Speaking to reporters in Cologne, Gabriel said it was problematic that some EU countries only actively joined in the project when they had money to gain, and did not take an active part in the community during difficult times.Some member state governments have refused to take in refugees and resisted EU proposals to agree a common plan to do more to deal with the crisis.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday that if EU members were not able to agree to a fair distribution of refugees, the Schengen zone of passport-free travel would be called into question.Gabriel, who leads Germany's Social Democrats, the junior partners in Merkel's ruling coalition, said that such an outcome would be a terrible blow for the EU."To give up open borders would be a gigantic step backwards in European history," he said in separate comments to the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper."With Greece, there is the risk of losing money. But now Europe is at risk of losing its decency."(Reporting by Matthias Inverardi; Writing by Paul Carrel; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

EU and US condemn Kiev violence-Kiev: The US rejected comparisons with last year's 'dignified' Maidan-By Andrew Rettman-sept 1,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:26-The EU and US have condemned violence in Kiev, which left one policeman dead and hospitalised more than 140 people on Monday (31 August).The worst injuries were caused when a grenade exploded in the crowd outside parliament, which was voting on a bill to give more power to regional governments.The man charged with the grenade attack, Ihor Humenyuk, is a 24-year old supporter of the nationalist Svoboda party who recently spent eight months on the front line in east Ukraine.Svoboda and the populist Radical Party organised the protests because, they say, the decentralisation law is the first step to autonomy for Russian-occupied parts of the Donbas region.The “constitutional amendments solidify the special status of Donbas and [represent an act of] capitulation to the Kremlin”, Svoboda said.It claimed the grenade attack was “a pre-planned provocation against Ukrainian patriots”.Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko said on TV the bill is in line with EU demands for political reform and with the Minsk ceasefire plan.He said it amounts to “a meager line about the peculiarities of local self-governance”, compared to Russia’s demand for federalisation, which would have given its agents in Donbas a veto on the country's EU and Nato integration.He added that without the law “the fate of a pro-Ukrainian international coalition would be significantly undermined. Potential extension of economic sanctions that hurt the aggressor [Russia] would not be on the table”.Arsen Avakov, the interior minister, posted an emotional statement on Facebook.“ [Svoboda leader] Tyahnybok brought to the Verkhovna Rada [parliament] not protesters, Tyahnybok brought gangsters who killed and crippled our soldiers”, he said.MPs passed the bill, in its first reading, by 265 votes out of 400.But Monday’s violence is the worst in Kiev since the Maidan revolution last February.The Maidan saw activists from Svoboda and Right Sector, another nationalist group, take the lead in resistance against the former regime’s forces.But Right Sector is also causing problems for Ukraine’s internal stability.Clashes between Right Sector militias and the Ukrainian army near the Polish border in July, linked to control of cross-border smuggling, claimed two lives.For her part, EU foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini, said on Monday that Ukraine’s reform “process shouldn't be jeopardised by violence. Today's events are very worrying”.The German foreign ministry said: “Street violence is unacceptable under any circumstance, but violence against the decisions of an elected parliament is even more so”.The US State Department welcomed the vote as “an important step towards good governance”.It said people have a right to peaceful protests and that law enforcement agencies must “exercise restraint”.But it “deplored” the violence and rejected comparison with police brutality against the Maidan crowds.“By and large, yes, it [the Maidan] was a dignified, peaceful protest on behalf of the Ukrainian people”, Mark Toner, a US spokesman said.Of the 144 people hospitalised in Kiev on Monday, 10 are in a critical condition, the authorities said on Tuesday, AP reports.

Opinion-EU needs to step up its game in Ukraine-By Fredrik Wesslau-euobserver

BRUSSELS, 31. Aug, 09:28-The situation in Ukraine looks increasingly grim. The war in Donbas has intensified. And Moscow shows no sign of ending its support for its proxy rebels or withdrawing troops and heavy weapons from eastern Ukraine.The EU's relations with Russia and its eastern neighbours are on the agenda when EU foreign ministers and the high representative gather in Luxembourg on 4-5 September for their post-summer Gymnich.This discussion comes not a day too soon. The EU needs to urgently step up its game in Ukraine - or risk losing it. Here's what it needs to do.-Increase support for Ukraine reform-The most pressing challenge for Ukraine is not on the battlefield but in carrying out its massive reform agenda. The EU has provided substantial support to political and economic reform in Ukraine since the crisis began. Yet more is needed, especially in the area of macro-financial assistance.Ukraine avoided imminent default thanks to the agreement reached last week with private creditors to write off 20 percent of $18 billion of debt. But Ukraine still needs significantly more financing to stabilise the hryvnia and replenish its foreign reserves.Since the Maidan protests, only three member states have given bilateral loans. The European Commission has provided € 2.2 billion in loans to Ukraine.This is not enough.If the EU is serious about wanting Ukraine’s reform to succeed, the commission and member states must provide further loans to shore up Ukraine’s economy. Default would be devastating for Ukraine’s reform efforts and could lead to political instability.Robust security arrangements-The ceasefire provisions in the Minsk agreement have proven inadequate to contain the fighting.The OSCE mission reports daily shelling and clashes. The recent flare-up is the most serious since the Minsk agreement was signed in February. Almost 7,000 people have been killed since fighting began; some 1.4 million people have fled their homes.The EU should press for more robust security arrangements.The EU should also take another look at the possibility of a UN peacekeeping force for Ukraine. The OSCE monitoring mission plays an important role in reporting on ceasefire violations and as a deterrent on the warring parties. But this deterrence is weak especially since the separatists regularly deny the mission access to Donetsk and Luhansk.A UN peacekeeping force mandated with traditional separation-of-forces tasks, such as supervising the buffer zone on both sides of the line of contact, would provide greater deterrence and stabilisation.Russia has blocked previous attempts to obtain a UN Security Council mandate for a peacekeeping operation. But this is no reason to not try again.If Moscow, as it says, wants peace then it should have to explain why a peacekeeping force would not contribute to this. Using peacekeepers from Belarus might be an acceptable option for Moscow.Implementation of Minsk agreement-It is not only the ceasefire that is regularly being violated. The Minsk agreement’s political provisions also risk not being implemented. The EU should increase overall support for implementation and take a clear position on the agreement's various elements.One of the main challenges over the next few weeks will be dealing with local elections in Donbas.The agreement stipulates that local elections should be held under Ukrainian law, in accordance with relevant OSCE standards, and monitored by OSCE/ODIHR. The Moscow-controlled separatists, however, have declared that they will hold parallel elections outside Ukraine’s constitutional and legal framework.This would clearly be a violation of the Minsk agreement. It is also highly unlikely that elections organised by the separatists would be held in accordance with OSCE standards.These standards require a conducive atmosphere in which political parties and candidates can freely campaign and present their views. Freedom of media is a basic condition. It also requires an up-to-date electoral register; in the case of Donbas, eligible voters who have been forced to flee their homes should be included in the register.The EU needs to send a clear message to Russia and its proxies that local elections in Donbas must abide by the Minsk agreement.Anything else would be a violation of Minsk and risks undermining the already fragile peace process.-Ready to extend sanctions-The prospects for a complete implementation of the Minsk agreement by the agreed end-of-year deadline look increasingly poor.Discussions in the EU on whether Minsk has been implemented will intensify as the end of the year approaches. The EU should be ready for a scenario in which Russia and its proxy rebels have not lived up to their part of the bargain. This means preparing to extend the sectoral sanctions that are conditioned on Minsk implementation.Extending sanctions in case of non-implementation is not only about the EU's credibility as a peacemaker but also about the credibility of the Minsk agreement.This time around, the EU should consider open-ended sanctions conditioned on Minsk implementation rather than sanctions that have to be regularly renewed.This would send a powerful signal to Russia about the EU’s willingness to stay the course on Minsk. It would also deny Moscow the opportunity to split the Union every time sanctions are up for renewal.-Keep Crimea on the agenda-The annexation of Crimea has largely fallen off the agenda. There is a sense in many capitals that this issue is “too hard to handle” given the unlikelihood of a reversal any time soon. But not talking about it is not a solution.The annexation is too serious an issue to be left aside. The violation of fundamental principles, as set out in the UN Charter, Helsinki Final Act, and a host of other international treaties, deserves continued attention.It should be on the EU’s agenda with Russia, as well as with other states, in particular Brazil, China, and India. The EU should also review the sanctions linked to Crimea to plug any loopholes.Prepare for a fraught relationship with Russia for the long term-The EU has still to figure out how to deal with its “Russia problem”.This is not a problem that has come about by the EU’s policy towards Ukraine or the rest of the eastern Neighbourhood.It is a problem that originates in Moscow and in the decision to use force to annex territory and destabilise a country because it exercised its sovereign right to determine its political orientation. This amounts to a substantial challenge to core principles underpinning the European security order.The EU should not expect Russia to change its posture for the foreseeable future. A confrontational relationship with the EU and US suits the Kremlin and fits its narrative about how the West is pushing for regime change in Moscow. It also provides a convenient excuse for the failure to modernise Russia’s economy and be a relevant part of globalisation.Considerable staying power will be needed to deal with Russia’s revisionism.The best way to do this is to stay true to basic principles, push back when these principles are violated, and, in particular, reject the notion of spheres of influence. It also means that the EU should prioritise its support - both political and material - to the eastern neighbours that are serious about EU integration.Dialogue with Russia is of course necessary. But dialogue should not be diplomatic code for going back to business as usual.The EU should engage with Moscow - as many member states do - but remain firm on its principles.Fredrik Wesslau is director of the wider Europe programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations, a UK-based think tank One policeman had his leg torn off below the knee by the grenade.

Britain's EU vote to ask 'remain or leave?'-Cameron is under pressure from eurosceptic rebels-By Eric Maurice-sept 1,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 18:51-The question UK voters will have to answer in the planned referendum on their country's membership of the EU will probably indicate a clear "remain or leave" alternative, the British government said on Tuesday (1 September).The office of prime minister David Cameron said the government would introduce an amendment to the EU referendum bill, after the Electoral Commission recommended a new wording to avoid favouring the pro-EU side.The commission recommended that the question should be: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?".The two possible answers should be "Remain a member of the European Union" or "Leave the European Union", the commission said in a report published Tuesday.-Concerns-According to the bill put forward to the House of Commons, the present question is "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union?", with Yes or No as the possible answers."We have concerns about the proposed ‘yes/no’ question", the Electoral Commission said in its report.The commission explained that the consultation process showed that "there was clearly a strong perception that the proposed question in the bill is not neutral and would not lead to a fair outcome. This also led some respondents to warn that the legitimacy of the outcome would come under doubt"."These views raise concerns about the potential legitimacy, in the eyes of those campaigning to leave and some members of the public, of the referendum result - particularly if there was a vote to remain a member of the European Union".It added: "The referendum result should be one that all voters and referendum campaigners can accept and have confidence in. For that reason, we recommend changing the way the question is asked, that it is more neutral."The PM's office said that Cameron "will accept the Electoral Commission's recommendations and we will table an amendment to the bill accordingly".Rebellion-In recent months, the organisation of the referendum, which will take place before the end of 2017, has prompted backbench Tory opposition, with eurosceptic MPs accusing No.10 of bias.In June, 27 Tory rebels voted against Cameron's plan to scrap the purdah period during the referendum campaign.The purdah period refers to the four weeks before an election, when ministers and civil servants are forbidden from issuing political statements.The Tory rebels accused the PM of wanting to promote the Yes side.To alleviate concerns, the government then said it would not use public money to promote a Yes vote.Europe minister David Lidington wrote to every Tory MP to promise that "the campaign will be conducted throughout in a manner that all sides will see as fair".Cameron also ruled out the referendum will take place on the same day as the next Scottish election, on 5 May 2016, to placate MPs who said this too would favour Europe.The government amendment will likely be examined by the House of Commons on 7 September.
