North Korea fires missile from submarine but it appears to have failed - S.Korea-[By Ju-min Park]-July 9, 2016-YAHOONEWS

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired a ballistic missile from a submarine on Saturday but it appears to have failed soon after launch, South Korea's military said.The launch comes at the end of a week of sharply rising tensions on the peninsula. It is only a day after the U.S. and South Korea pledged to deploy an advanced anti-missile system to counter threats from Pyongyang, and two days after North Korea warned it was planning its toughest response to what it deemed a "declaration of war" by the United States.That followed Washington's blacklisting of the isolated state's leader Kim Jong Un for alleged human rights abuses.The South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the missile was launched at about 11:30 a.m. Seoul time (0230 GMT) in waters east of the Korean peninsula.The missile was likely fired from a submarine as planned but appears to have failed in the early stage of flight, the Joint Chiefs said.Neighbouring Japan, the United States, and South Korea's military condemned the missile launch as a flagrant violation of U.N. sanctions.South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the missile's engine successfully ignited but the projectile soon exploded in mid-air at a height of about 10 km (6 miles), and covered not more than a few kilometers across the water.The South's military declined to confirm those details citing its policy of not publicly commenting on intelligence matters.The missile was detected in the sea southeast of the North Korean city of Sinpo, South Korea's military said. Satellite images indicate Pyongyang is actively trying to develop its submarine-launched ballistic missile programme in this area, according to experts.The U.S. Strategic Command, whose mission is to detect and prevent strategic attacks against the United States and its allies, said it had detected what it believed was a KN-11 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).It was fired from North Korea's east coast port of Sinpo and then fell into the sea between there and Japan, the command said in a statement.-ABE CONDEMNS-Reclusive North Korea and the rich, democratic South are technically still at war because their 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty. The North regularly threatens to destroy the Japan, South Korea and the South's main ally, the United States.The missile launch is a "clear challenge to U.N. Security Council resolutions," Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Saturday, according to Kyodo news agency."We should strongly condemn the launch by working with the international community," Abe told reporters.Abe said the launch did not gravely affect Japan's national security.The U.S. said it was monitoring and assessing the situation in close coordination with its regional allies and partners."We strongly condemn North Korea's missile test in violation of UN Security Council Resolutions, which explicitly prohibit North Korea's use of ballistic missile technology," said Gabrielle Price, spokeswoman for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs at the U.S. Department of State."These actions, and North Korea's continued pursuit of ballistic missile and nuclear weapons capabilities, pose a significant threat to the United States, our allies, and to the stability of the greater Asia-Pacific," she added.The North has conducted a string of military tests that began in January with its fourth nuclear test and included the launch of a long-range rocket the following month.The U.N. Security Council imposed harsh new sanctions on the country in March for its nuclear test and rocket launch.North Korea rejects the sanctions as infringement of its sovereignty and its right to space exploration.Late last month, North Korea launched what appeared to be an intermediate-range missile to a high altitude before it plunged into the sea after covering 400 km in the direction of Japan, South Korean military officials said. That was widely seen as a technological advance for the isolated state after several test failures.South Korea and the United States said on Friday they would deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system with the U.S. military in South Korea to counter the threat from nuclear-armed North Korea, drawing a sharp and swift protest from neighbouring China, Pyongyang's sole major ally.China's foreign minister said on Saturday that THAAD exceeded the security needs of the Korean peninsula. "We have every reason, and the right, to question the real conspiracy behind this move," Wang Yi was quoted by the state news agency Xinhua as saying during a trip to Sri Lanka.Pyongyang last conducted a test of a submarine-launched ballistic missile in April, calling it a "great success" that provided "one more means for powerful nuclear attack," although it had not had a successful SLBM test flight.A report on 38 North, a website run by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University in the U.S., said in May that North Korea’s submarine-launched ballistic missile program is making progress, but it was unlikely to become operational before 2020.(Additional reporting by Jack Kim in SEOUL, Taiga Uranaka in TOKYO and John Ruwitch in SHANGHAI; Editing by Ed Davies and Martin Howell)

N. Korea test-fires submarine-launched missile: Seoul-[AFP]-July 9, 2016-YAHOONEWS

North Korea on Saturday test-fired what appeared to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), Seoul's defence ministry said, a day after the US and South Korea decided to deploy an advanced missile defence system in the South.The launch was apparently successful but the missile failed in the early stage of flight, the South Korean defence ministry said in a statement.North Korea previously fired an SLBM on April 23 in a test hailed as an "eye-opening success" by leader Kim Jong-Un, who at the time declared his country had the ability to strike Seoul and the US whenever it pleased.Seoul said the North launched "what was believed to be an SLBM" from waters off the northeastern port of Sinpo at around 11:30 am (0230 GMT).Yonhap news agency said the missile, launched from a Sinpo-class submarine, reached an altitude of some 10 kilometres (six miles) before exploding in mid-air.The US Strategic Command said the missile was tracked over the Sea of Japan, where initial indications suggested it fell.The North American Aerospace Defense Command said the launch did not pose a threat to North America."We strongly condemn this and North Korea’s other recent missile tests, which violate UN Security Council Resolutions explicitly prohibiting North Korea's launches using ballistic missile technology", Pentagon Spokesman Gary Ross said.He urged the North "to refrain from actions that further raise tensions in the region".Seoul's defence ministry noted that "North Korea has been persistent in violating UN resolutions by launching ballistic missiles continuously".It added that the North carried out back-to-back tests of a powerful new medium-range missile on June 22, which sparked swift international condemnation.The two missiles achieved a significant increase in flight distance over previous failed launches and were believed to be of a much-hyped, intermediate-range Musudan missile -- theoretically capable of reaching US bases as far away as Guam, the ministry said in June."We strongly condemn such provocative acts", it said Saturday.Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the launch did not pose an immediate threat."We don't consider the missile launch to be anything that would immediately affect Japan's national security directly. We have to cooperate with the international community and condemn North Korea," he told public broadcaster NHK.- 'Declaration of war' -The new launch came after Seoul and Washington Friday announced their decision to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system, or THAAD, to the Korean peninsula and the North warned US sanctions against its leader amounted to a "declaration of war".Tensions have soared since Pyongyang carried out its fourth nuclear test in January, followed by a series of missile launches that analysts said show the North is making progress toward being able to strike the US mainland.The plan to deploy the powerful THAAD system in South Korea has angered Beijing and Moscow, which both see it as a US bid to flex military muscle in the region.News of the deployment came after the US on Wednesday placed "Supreme Leader" Kim on its sanctions blacklist for the first time, calling him directly responsible for a long list of serious human rights abuses.Pyongyang lashed out at Washington on Friday, warning North Korea would instantly cut off all diplomatic channels with the US if the sanctions were not lifted.The North's foreign ministry called the sanctions against Kim "the worst hostility and an open declaration of war", vowing to take "the toughest countermeasures to resolutely shatter the hostility of the US".It said any problem arising in relations with the US would be handled under its "wartime law".North Korea often issues bellicose statements against the US, but the reference to "wartime law" is rare and analysts warned of more sabre-rattling to come over the sanctions.

Russia warns of 'dangerous consequences' of decision to deploy anti-missile system in S. Korea-By Ed Adamczyk Follow @adamczyk_ed Contact the Author | July 8, 2016 at 10:30 AM Follow @upi

MOSCOW, July 8 (UPI) -- Russia voiced strong objections Friday to the U.S. agreement with South Korea to deploy the THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea to defend against North Korean aggression."From the very beginning of the discussion of this issue we have consistently and invariably pointed at the most dangerous consequences of such a decision and called for our partners not to make this wrong choice," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. "Unfortunately, our calls have remained unheard. Such actions, regardless of the arguments they are backed with, have the most negative effect on global strategic stability, the adherence to which is such a favored topic of discussions in Washington."The plan to install THAAD, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense anti-missile system, in South Korea has been in development since North Korea tested a long-range missile in February. The system is designed to detect missiles and destroy them in flight. Its radar systems, however, can penetrate much of China.Immediately after the plan was announced Friday, statements from China and Russia suggested the defense system could destabilize the region.China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs voiced "strong dissatisfaction" and "firm opposition" to the deployment, suggesting the deal was made without regard to the views of other countries in the region. It warned the THAAD program could slow the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula."China strongly urges the United States and South Korea to stop the deployment process of the THAAD anti-missile system, not take any steps to complicate the regional situation and do nothing to harm China's strategic security interests," the ministry said in a statement posted to its website Friday.THAAD was designed and produced by Lockheed Martin. It was first deployed in 2008, and is now in use by the United States in Guam and Hawaii. The United Arab Emirates and Oman have both signed deals with the United States to purchase the THAAD air defense system.

Iran, criticising Merkel, says to press on with missile programme-[Reuters]-July 9, 2016-YAHOONEWS

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran will press on with its missile programme "with full force" based on national security needs, a foreign ministry spokesman was quoted as saying on Saturday, adding that critical comments by Germany's leader were unhelpful.Chancellor Angela Merkel told the parliament in Berlin on Thursday that missile launches by Iran earlier this year were inconsistent with a U.N. resolution urging it to refrain for up to eight years from missile work designed to deliver nuclear weapons.Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said Merkel's remarks were "not constructive" and would have no bearing on the programme, according to state news agency IRNA.Reiterating Tehran's assertion that the missiles are not designed to carry nuclear weapons, he added: "Iran will continue with full force its missile programme based on its defensive plans and national security calculations."On Friday, Iran rejected as "unrealistic" a report by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon criticising its missile launches as inconsistent with its deal with world powers to curb sensitive nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief.Reuters reported on Thursday that a confidential report by Ban had found the tests to be inconsistent "with the constructive spirit" of the July 2015 agreement.Responding to German intelligence reports that Iran has been trying to acquire nuclear technology in Germany, Berlin said on Friday that certain forces in Iran may be trying to undermine the nuclear deal.Germany's domestic intelligence agency said in its annual report that Iranian efforts to illegally procure technology, especially in the nuclear area, had continued at a "high level" in 2015.(Reporting by Dubai newsroom; editing by John Stonestreet)

Dallas sniper was loner; Army sent him home from Afghanistan-[The Canadian Press]-Will Weissert, Reese Dunklin And Mitch Weiss, The Associated Press-July 9, 2016-YAHOONEWS

MESQUITE, Texas - The Dallas sniper had been sent home from Afghanistan after being accused of sexually harassing a female, and was described as a loner who followed black militant groups on social media.Micah Xavier Johnson, who fatally shot five officers and wounded seven more before police killed him with a remote-controlled bomb on Friday, lived with family members in the blue-collar suburb of Mesquite, where he played basketball for hours at a time.Friends there said the 25-year-old black man didn't seem interested in politics, but his Facebook page suggests otherwise: He "liked" black militant groups including the African American Defence League and the New Black Panther Party, which was founded in Dallas.His photo showed him wearing a dashiki and raising his fist over the words "Black Power," and his cover shot carried the red, black and green Pan-African flag.For six years starting in 2009, Johnson served in the Army Reserve as a private first class with a specialty in carpentry and masonry, the military said.In May 2014, six months into his Afghanistan tour, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier. The Army sent him stateside, recommending an "other than honourable discharge," said Bradford Glendening, the military lawyer who represented him.That recommendation was "highly unusual," Bradford said, since counselling is usually ordered before more drastic steps are taken."In his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself," Glendening told The Associated Press. "I'm sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit."According to a court filing Glendening read over the phone Friday, the victim said she wanted Johnson to "receive mental help," while also seeking a protective order to keep him away from her and her family, wherever they went. Johnson was ordered to avoid all contact with her.Glendening said Johnson was set to be removed from the Army in September 2014 because of the incident, but instead got an honourable discharge months later — for reasons he can't understand."Someone really screwed up," he said. "But to my client's benefit."When authorities searched Johnson's home Friday they found bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics.Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown said Johnson told negotiators before he was killed that he was acting alone and was unaffiliated with any group.The chief said Johnson cited the fatal shootings of black men by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota, which prompted the protest march in Dallas and many other cities."The suspect said he was upset with white people and wanted to kill white people, especially white officers," Brown said.Activists with Black Lives Matter, whose peaceful march police were guarding as he opened fire, repudiated the shootings, and it wasn't immediately clear if Johnson had any connection to the movement, which has disavowed violence.But one of the groups Johnson "liked" on Facebook, the African American Defence League, posted a message earlier in the week encouraging violence against police in response to the killing in Louisiana."The Pig has shot and killed Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! You and I know what we must do and I don't mean marching, making a lot of noise, or attending conventions. We must 'Rally The Troops!' It is time to visit Louisiana and hold a barbeque." The message was attributed to Dr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere, a leader in the organization.Another group Johnson "liked" was the New Black Panther Party, whose leaders have "long expressed virulently anti-white and anti-Semitic opinions," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.Johnson also "liked" the Nation of Islam and the Black Riders Liberation Party, which the centre described as "hate groups."Among Johnson's other social media likes were groups that focus on the history and accomplishments of African-Americans, such as Black Love Matters, the Nubian Rootz Cultural Center, and I Love Black Archaeologist, a web series whose main character uses a time machine to visit famous black people.The Dallas Police Department said Johnson's Facebook account also included information about Richard Griffin, also known as Professor Griff, who "embraces a radical form of Afrocentrism."On his Facebook page Friday afternoon, Griffin, a member of Public Enemy — an influential hip hop group known for its politically charged lyrics — said he does "not advocate killing Cops."Johnson had no criminal history, according to authorities. Local court records show his parents were divorced in 1996.He was believed to have shared a two-story tan brick home in Mesquite with family members. He graduated from John Horn High School in Mesquite, where he was a ROTC member, school district officials said.Sharon Carter, who works in the district's registrar's office and lives near Johnson's home, said she saw him occasionally wearing military fatigues as he left for Army reservist training, but never saw him armed."They say he was standoffish in high school," Carter said. "I never really spoke to him. He kept to himself."A relative had praised Johnson on his birthday in 2014 as "definitely Army strong" on his Facebook page, calling him an "entertaining, loving, understanding, not to mention handsome friend, brother (and) son."After Johnson was killed, a relative posted on her Facebook page, "I keep saying its not true...my eyes hurt from crying. Y him??? And why was he downtown." She did not respond to Facebook messages.Friend Israel Cooper said Johnson went by "Xavier,' his middle name, had a "cool vibe," wasn't really political and seemed educated.Cooper said he and Johnson played basketball at a park near his home. "He would be out there for eight hours. Like it was his job. Just hoopin'," he said.Cooper said that when he heard the suspect was Johnson, he "was in disbelief because he's just not like a violent or rough dude.""So I was, 'Nah, it's probably another Xavier somewhere, you know,'" Cooper said. "But then, with pictures on the internet and stuff, I'm like 'OK.' "Cooper added: "It's the quiet ones that just do the most devastating stuff. You never see it coming. But then it's more expected, like 'I should have known.'"__Weiss reported from Greenville, South Carolina.

Scientists discover strange planet with three stars-[AFP]-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Washington (AFP) - An international team of astronomers announced Thursday the discovery of a strange planet in a faraway solar system that contains not one sun, but three of them.This distant world appears even more unusual than the home planet of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga, Tatooine, which orbited around two suns, according to the findings published in the US journal Science.Such binary solar systems may be relatively common in the universe, but experts say those involving three stars or more are rare."Imagine this: a planet where you'd either experience constant daylight or enjoy triple sunrises and sunsets each day, depending on the seasons, which happen to last longer than human lifetimes," said a statement from the University of Arizona, which led the astronomy team.The planet has been named HD 131399Ab, and it is located about 340 light years from Earth in the constellation Centaurus.The cosmic body is believed to be relatively young, about 16 million years old, which makes it one of the youngest planets discovered outside our solar system to date.Its mass is believed to be four times that of the gas giant Jupiter, which is our solar system's largest planet.It orbits the brightest of the three stars on a very long and wide path."For about half of the planet's orbit, which lasts 550 Earth-years, three stars are visible in the sky, the fainter two always much closer together, and changing in apparent separation from the brightest star throughout the year," said first author Kevin Wagner, a first-year PhD student who discovered HD 131399Ab."For much of the planet's year the stars appear close together, giving it a familiar night-side and day-side with a unique triple-sunset and sunrise each day," Wagner added."As the planet orbits and the stars grow further apart each day, they reach a point where the setting of one coincides with the rising of the other."The result is "near-constant daytime for about one-quarter of its orbit, or roughly 140 Earth-years."The astronomy team spotted the planet using the SPHERE instrument on the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope in Chile.SPHERE is one of the world's most advanced instruments dedicated to finding planets around other stars.SPHERE stands for Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research Instrument.It is sensitive to infrared light, making it capable of detecting the heat signatures of young planets.

Sat Jul 9, 2016 3:07am EDT-Super typhoon Nepartak hit Taiwan on Friday, driving thousands of people from their homes, disrupting power supplies and grounding more than 600 flights, authorities said.REUTERS

Television showed toppled motorcycles and signboards being ripped from buildings and swept across roads in southeast Taiwan, where the year's first typhoon made landfall.By afternoon, the typhoon had moved into the Taiwan Strait, weakening as it headed towards China's southeastern province of Fujian, but flooding and strong winds continued to lash the island's central and southern areas.More than 17,300 people were evacuated from their homes, and over 517,000 households suffered power outages, emergency officials said."The wind is very strong," said a resident of Taitung, the eastern Taiwan city where the typhoon landed."Many hut roofs and signs have been blown off."Three deaths and 172 injuries were reported, bullet train services were suspended and over 340 international and 300 domestic flights canceled, an emergency services website showed.The typhoon halted work in most of Taiwan. There were no reports of damage at semiconductor plants in the south.Tropical Storm Risk had rated the typhoon as category 5, at the top of its ranking, but it was weakening and should be a tropical storm by the time it hits Fujian on Saturday morning.More than 4,000 people working on coastal fish farms in Fujian were evacuated and fishing boats recalled to port, the official China News Service said.The storm is expected to worsen already severe flooding in parts of central and eastern China, particularly in the major city of Wuhan.Typhoons are common at this time of year in the South China Sea, picking up strength over warm waters and dissipating over land.In 2009, Typhoon Morakot cut a swathe of destruction through southern Taiwan, killing about 700 people and causing damage of up to $3 billion.(Reporting by Faith Hung and J.R.

Fort McMurray first responders honoured at Calgary Stampede parade-[The Canadian Press]-Lauren Krugel and Bill Graveland, The Canadian Press-July 8, 2016-YAHOONEWS

CALGARY - The Calgary Stampede parade reserved a special spot for Fort McMurray on Friday, more than two months after a fierce wildfire forced everyone to flee the northeastern Alberta city.A contingent of first responders and staff from the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo marched directly behind the vintage car carrying the parade marshals, singers Jann Arden and Paul Brandt.The group carried a banner reading "Thank You Alberta" and wore t-shirts with "We are here. We are strong" printed on them.Wood Buffalo Fire Chief Darby Allen said there were some discussions around him being named parade marshal, but he thought it was more important for representatives of the region to march as a group."It is wonderful and kind of like coming home again for me," said Allen, who previously worked with the Calgary Fire Department."I was in the parade many times with the Calgary Fire Department so it's nice to bring the people down who were involved in ... the emergency for the first few days so they can meet the people and say thank you to them and we can show them some appreciation for what Calgary did for us."More than 250,000 people typically line downtown streets every year for the parade, which kicks off the western festival.Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi gave the Wood Buffalo crew a pep talk before the parade started."It's wonderful to have you in the front of the parade. It's so appropriate. It's so great," he said.In an interview, Nenshi said there was a provincewide demonstration of "neighbourliness" in the disaster's aftermath."When the tragedy happened in Wood Buffalo, we saw how the community comes together, especially in this time when the world seems bent at coming apart at the seams."Dale Bendfeld, director of emergency management with the municipality, said the city is grateful for how welcoming Albertans were when more than 80,000 Fort McMurray residents were forced to leave."They opened up their homes and their hearts to us," said Bendfeld, who grew up in Calgary.Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said the Fort McMurray presence was moving."They deserve it. They've been through a rough time and I'm pretty sure Calgarians are going to give them an exceptionally warm welcome."Arden, who estimates she's been to 50 Stampedes in her life, said Friday was a highlight.She said she wanted to convey her "gratitude and utmost respect" to the Fort McMurray first responders marching behind her."We're so, so lucky in this province and in this country to have these kinds of men and women available to us when things go sideways."Brandt had a similar message."They've just done an amazing job helping us through such a tragedy and a difficult time for the folks up in Fort McMurray and we wanted to do everything we could to recognize them and use this platform to say thank you for everything they've done."Follow @LaurenKrugel and @BillGraveland on Twitter.

Cameron says post-Brexit UK will remain committed to European defense-[Reuters]-July 8, 2016-yahoonews

WARSAW (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron, who announced his resignation after losing a referendum on keeping Britain in the European Union last month, said on Friday his country would remain committed to European defense after it leaves the bloc."What I'll be saying is that Britain may be leaving the EU but we are not turning our back on Europe and we're not turning our back on European defense and security," he told reporters on arrival at his final NATO summit before stepping down.(Reporting by Wiktor Szary; Writing by Paul Taylor)

German support for Merkel, EU surges after Brexit vote: poll-[Reuters]-July 8, 2016-yahoonews

BERLIN (Reuters) - Public support for German Chancellor Angela Merkel has soared since Britain voted to leave the European Union, an opinion poll showed, helping reverse a fall in her popularity caused by the refugee crisis.The survey, by pollster Infratest dimap for national broadcaster ARD, also showed a sharp rise in German support for the EU as for the first time a majority said there were more advantages than disadvantages to being in the bloc.Some 59 percent of Germans said in the poll published late on Thursday that they were satisfied with Merkel, up from 50 percent in June.A record 52 percent said that EU membership was advantageous, 13 percentage points higher than in a poll conducted before the British referendum on June 23.Merkel is the third-most popular German politician after Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of the left-leaning Social Democrats (SPD) who enjoys 74 percent support and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble of her conservatives, at 64 percent.Britain's vote in favor of leaving the EU has raised fears about the feasibility of further European integration and the economic fallout of Brexit.The poll found that support for Merkel's conservatives had risen to 34 percent, from 31 percent last month. The conservatives, who govern in a coalition with the SPD, won 41.5 percent of the vote in the 2013 national election.The government's decision to allow in more than 1 million migrants last year, mainly asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, led to a sharp decline in the conservatives' popularity and fueled the rise of an anti-immigration party.(Reporting by Joseph Nasr; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Germany wary of Iran's nuclear, missile procurement efforts-[Associated Press]-July 8, 2016-yahoonews

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's foreign ministry says the country is keeping close watch on Iran's attempts to procure nuclear and missile technology.Germany's domestic intelligence agency said last month Iran's nuclear procurement efforts in the country remained "at a quantitatively high level" last year and attempts to acquire missile technology showed an "upward trend."Under a landmark 2015 agreement, Iran agreed to cap its nuclear activities in return for the lifting of international sanctions.Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said Friday that the intelligence report made for "unpleasant" reading, but noted that it covered a period before the Iran deal came into force on Jan. 16.Schaefer said that Germany and its partners would work to ensure Iran abides by the agreement, adding that "we won't hesitate to discuss this with Tehran.

Nato makes show of solidarity in Poland By Andrew Rettman-JULY 8,16-EUOBSERVER

Warsaw, Today, 09:30-Half of Warsaw city centre was closed to normal traffic on Friday (8 July), while police sirens wailed back and forth and helicopters criss-crossed the sky ahead of a Nato summit designed to show solidarity against Russian aggression.The Polish security operation involved more than 6,000 police officers as part of summit preparations costing €40 million.US president Barack Obama arrived for the event shortly after midnight on Friday, with his “beast” limousine driving from Warsaw’s Chopin airport to the Marriott hotel down roads where individual police officers stood, in fluorescent yellow jackets, at 20-metre intervals along the entire route.Obama, as well the British, French and German leaders, are among the 39 heads of state attending the event from the 28 Nato countries, as well as from “partner” states, such as Afghanistan, Georgia and Ukraine.In other facts and figures, the summit organisers hired 4,000 hotel rooms in the city and accredited some 2,000 journalists to cover the event.The Western alliance is to finalise plans to deploy 4,000 soldiers in the Baltic states and in Poland to act as a “tripwire” for a rapid reaction force of up to 40,000 men in the event of a Russian attack.The summit will declare that Nato’s anti-missile shield, parts of which are based in Poland and in Romania, has attained operational readiness.It will see the alliance upgrade relations with Finland and Sweden, whose leaders are to take part in a Nato dinner on Friday, and to agree closer cooperation with EU military structures.It will also see Montenegro’s leader, Milos Djukanovic, join his 28 Nato counterparts for a first-ever family photo as his country awaits membership pending national ratifications.-Russian backdrop-The summit is taking place amid a backdrop of Russian covert warfare in Ukraine, simulated invasions of the Baltic states, Nordic countries and Poland, and a build-up of troops and nuclear-capable missiles in Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave.It also taking place after the UK’s shock decision to leave the EU and amid EU complaints that the Polish government is eroding democratic standards at home.Speaking to press on Thursday ahead of a bilateral meeting with Obama on Friday morning, the Polish president, Andrzej Duda, said the new Nato battalions amounted to new Nato bases in eastern Europe.He said there would be a “permanent” presence of Nato troops, despite the fact that national contingents are to “rotate” in and out of the region. He also said the presence of US soldiers to operate and guard the anti-missile shield facility amounted to a permanent US deployment.Russia has said that new bases violate a 1997 Nato-Russia treaty, but Duda said “everybody knows” that Russia tore up the agreement by its attack on Ukraine.“Russia showed its imperial ambitions and decided to realise them. We can’t let Russia break international law. If it is respected, there will be peace. But we have the right to react if it is broken”, he said.He played down fears that Germany is lukewarm on Nato’s Russia strategy after Germany’s centre-left foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, recently criticised a Nato drill in Poland as “warmongering”.Duda noted that Germany is sending troops to the new battalion in Lithuania and described the German ministers’ remarks as “games within the [German] ruling coalition” ahead of elections next year.-Brexit-He added that Brexit is likely to see the UK strengthen its role in Nato, saying it would be “natural” that, as its influence in the EU diminishes, “it will try to strengthen that influence in other forums”.The Polish government earlier on Thursday forced through parliament a new law on the country’s constitutional tribunal that, critics say, will help it to exert political influence on the court.In other pet projects of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, the corridors of the summit venue, in a football stadium in Warsaw, are to be lined with photos of the Smolensk tragedy - a plane crash in 2010 that killed dozens of Polish officials, including the then president Lech Kaczynski, and that PiS leaders say was a Russian plot.Duda said that if Obama asked about the judicial dispute, he would tell him that Polish people elected PiS democratically and that all of its subsequent decisions have “taken place on the basis of democratic standards”.Speaking also on Thursday, Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo called the Nato event “the most important moment in Polish history since we regained independence” after the fall of the communist regime in 1989.Polish defence minister Antoni Macierewicz, a Russia hawk and a leading Smolensk plot proponent, said: “After so many decades, Poland can finally feel safe”.-Truth wins out-The British prime minister David Cameron, in line with Duda’s remarks, also on Thursday announced that 500 British soldiers will take part in the Estonia battalion while 150 others would be stationed in Poland.“Actions speak louder than words and the UK is proud to be taking the lead role, deploying troops across eastern Europe. It is yet another example of the UK leading in Nato”, he said.Some Russian commentators have described the Nato meeting as preparations for an assault on Russia, while Polish pundits have said Nato’s new multinational battalions would not be strong enough to stop a Russian attack.Speaking to Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza on Thursday, Nato head Jens Stoltenberg said the new battalions are defensive in nature and that the best response to Russian propaganda is “the truth … our response [to false Russian claims] should be facts. The truth wins out in the end”.The former Norwegian PM also said that Nato deterrence kept his country safe from Russia during the Cold War.“I come from a country, Norway, that neighbours Russia. Our security was for decades based precisely on this [Nato solidarity]. We knew that if we were attacked, Nato would come and help”, he said.

NATO leaders meet to deal with threats from Russia, south-[Associated Press]-JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG and MONIKA SCISLOWSKA-July 8, 2016-yahoonews

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Leaders of the NATO military alliance gathered Friday to order ambitious actions against a daunting array of dangers to the security of their nations and citizenry, including a rearmed and increasingly unfriendly Russia to Europe's east and violent Islamic extremism to the south."The decisions we're going to take together will once again confirm that Europe and North America stand together, act together to support all allies against any threats," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, predicting a "landmark summit" meeting of U.S. President Barack Obama and other heads of state and government.After arriving in Warsaw, Obama announced the U.S. will send an additional 1,000 U.S. troops to Poland as part of a NATO effort to reinforce its presence on the alliance's frontiers near Russia. He met with Polish President Andrzej Duda, and hailed Poland as "a lynchpin in the defense of NATO's eastern flank."In an op-ed published in the Financial Times, Obama called on NATO to stand firm against Russia, terrorism and other challenges, and to "summon the political will, and make concrete commitments" to strengthen European cooperation after the British people's vote in June to leave the European Union.Stoltenberg said for NATO's 28 member nations to be safe, they don't only need to reinforce their own armed forces, but to come to the aid of partner nations in the Middle East and North Africa menaced by extremist violence."For our nations to be safe, it's not enough to keep our defenses strong, we must help to make our partners stronger," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said."Training local forces is often our best weapon against violent extremism," Stoltenberg told a pre-summit forum of defense and security experts. Among the items on the NATO meeting's ambitious agenda is increased assistance for Iraq's military, extension of the West's financial commitment to the Afghan military and police, aid for Tunisia, and getting NATO more involved in the campaign against the Islamic State by authorizing use of AWACS surveillance planes to assist the U.S.-led coalition fighting the group.In Warsaw, NATO heads of state and government will also formally order deployment of multinational units on the alliance's eastern borders. The action, telegraphed in advance like most items on the summit program following months of deliberations by NATO member governments, is vigorously opposed by the Kremlin. But German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen on Friday called it an appropriate measure to counter what she called a "completely unpredictable and aggressive Russia."Along with the U.S. commitment announced by Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron was expected to tell the summit Britain will dispatch a 500-strong battalion to Estonia and an additional company of 150 troops to Poland. Canada and Germany have committed to furnishing core units for Latvia and Lithuania.Von der Leyen said Poland and the Baltic states want greater protection because Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine shows Moscow "doesn't respect borders." The minister told German broadcaster ARD that NATO must maintain a dialogue with Russia, but from a "position of strength.""It's important that NATO deploys with such strength that it's clear nobody can see an advantage in attacking this military alliance," she said.As Obama and the other alliance heads of state and government were gathering in the Polish capital, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow is willing to cooperate with NATO, even though he said it acts toward Russia like an enemy.Russia "has always been open for dialogue" with NATO, especially to fight what it sees as a "genuine threat" — terrorism, Dmitry Peskov said."Russia is not looking (for an enemy) but it actually sees it happening," Peskov told reporters in Moscow. "When NATO soldiers march along our border and NATO jets fly by, it's not us who are moving closer to the NATO borders."Warsaw may become the most highly secured city in the world during the summit, which takes place after a string of recent extremist attacks across the globe.Helicopters hovered Friday above the National Stadium, the meeting's venue, while 6,000 police officers, backed up by soldiers, gendarmes, firefighters and other security officials, were out on Warsaw's streets.Security efforts are most heavily concentrated at the stadium, which has been encircled by a metal barrier, and high around hotels hosting the many VIPs. Many streets in the city of 1.7 million have been blocked and some mass transit routes altered, inconveniencing many residents.The airspace over Warsaw is also being monitored closely, with a ban on flights in a 100-kilometer (60-mile) radius from the stadium. Violators run the risk of being shot down.___Vanessa Gera in Warsaw and Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow contributed.

South Korea, U.S. to deploy THAAD missile defense, drawing China rebuke-[Reuters]-By Jack Kim-July 8, 2016-yahoonews

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea and the United States said on Friday they would deploy an advanced missile defense system in South Korea to counter a threat from North Korea, drawing a sharp and swift protest from neighboring China.The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, anti-missile system will be used only as protection against North Korea's growing nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, the South's Defence Ministry and the U.S. Defence Department said in a joint statement."This is an important ... decision," General Vincent Brooks, commander of U.S. forces in South Korea, said in a statement. "North Korea's continued development of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction require the alliance to take this prudent, protective measure to bolster our ... missile defense."Beijing said on Friday it lodged complaints with the U.S. and South Korean ambassadors over the THAAD decision.China said the system would destabilize the security balance in the region without achieving anything to end the North's nuclear program. China is North Korea's main ally but opposes its pursuit of nuclear weapons and backed the latest United Nations sanctions against Pyongyang in March."China strongly urges the United States and South Korea to stop the deployment process of the THAAD anti-missile system, not take any steps to complicate the regional situation and do nothing to harm China's strategic security interests," the foreign ministry said in a statement.Selection of a site for the system could come "within weeks," and the allies were working to have it operational by the end of 2017, a South Korean Defence Ministry official said.The THAAD will be deployed to U.S. Forces Korea "to protect alliance military forces from North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile threats," the joint statement said. The United States maintains 28,500 troops in South Korea, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean war."When the THAAD system is deployed to the Korean Peninsula, it will be focused solely on North Korean nuclear and missile threats and would not be directed towards any third-party nations," the statement said.-SEVEN SUMMITS-The decision to deploy THAAD is the latest move to squeeze the increasingly isolated North, which also includes a series of bilateral sanctions by Seoul and Washington as well as layers of U.N. sanctions.South Korea has been reluctant to discuss THAAD openly, given the opposition of China, its main trading partner and an increasingly close diplomatic ally. South Korean President Park Geun-hye and her Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, have held seven summit meetings since both took office in 2013.Russia is also opposed to basing a THAAD system in South Korea. Its foreign ministry will take the deployment into account in Moscow's military planning, Interfax news agency quoted it as saying on Friday.China worries the THAAD system's radar will be able to track its own military capabilities.China "knows full well that the THAAD being deployed to South Korea is not aimed at it at all," said Yoo Dong-ryol, who heads the Korea Institute of Liberal Democracy in Seoul. "It just doesn't like more American weapons system being brought in so close to it."Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Hagiuda said Tokyo "supports the deployment because it bolsters security in the region."Japan has said it is considering another layer of ballistic missile defense, such as THAAD, to complement ship-borne missiles aboard Aegis destroyers in the Sea of Japan and its ground-based Patriot missiles.-TRUMP'S ARGUMENT-Built by Lockheed Martin Corp , THAAD is designed to defend against short and medium-range ballistic missiles by intercepting them high in the Earth's atmosphere, or outside it. The United States already has a THAAD system in its territory of Guam.Each system costs an estimated $800 million and is likely to add to the cost of maintaining the U.S. military presence in South Korea, an issue in the U.S. presidential campaign. Republican candidate Donald Trump has argued that U.S. allies South Korea and Japan should pay more towards their own defense.A joint South Korea-U.S. working group is determining the best location for deploying THAAD. It has been discussing the feasibility of deployment and potential locations for the THAAD unit since February, after a North Korean rocket launch put an object into space orbit.The launch was condemned by the U.N. Security Council as a test of a long-range missile in disguise, which North Korea is prohibited from doing under several Security Council resolutions.North Korea rejects the ban, saying it is an infringement on its sovereignty and its right to space exploration.North Korea in late June launched an intermediate range ballistic missile off its east coast in a test that was believed to show some advancement in the weapon's engine system.On Thursday, Pyongyang said it was planning its toughest response to what it called a "declaration of war" by the United States after the U.S. Treasury Department blacklisted leader Kim Jong Un for human rights abuses.Also on Thursday, a U.S. official said the administration of President Barack Obama was asking other nations to cut the employment of North Korean workers as a way to reduce Pyongyang's access to foreign currency.(Additional reporting by David Brunnstrom in Washington and Ben Blanchard in Beijing; Editing by Bill Tarrant and Lisa Von Ahn)

Suspect in Dallas police attack wanted to 'kill white people': chief-[Reuters]-By Lisa Maria Garza-July 8, 2016-YAHOONEWS

DALLAS (Reuters) - At least one sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven more in a coordinated attack that ended when police used a bomb to kill a shooter who told them he wanted to kill white officers, authorities said Friday.The attack came during one of several protests across the United States against the killing of two black men by police this week, the latest in a long string of killings that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.Police described Thursday night's ambush as carefully planned and executed and said they had taken three people into custody before killing the fourth after a long standoff in a downtown garage."We had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot," Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters at City Hall."The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter," said Brown, who is black. "He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."In talking with police negotiators, the suspect said he was not affiliated with any group, according to Brown.The attack came in a week that two black men were fatally shot by police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and outside Minneapolis. The killings, both now the subject of official investigations, inflamed tensions about race and justice in the United States.Quinyetta McMillon, who had a child with Alton Sterling, the black man slain by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, earlier this week, condemned the Dallas attack in a statement."We wholeheartedly reject the reprehensible acts of violence that were perpetrated against members of the Dallas Police Department," McMillon said. "Regardless of how angry or upset people may be, resorting to this kind of sickening violence should never happen and simply cannot be tolerated."A Twitter account describing itself as representing the Black Lives Matter movement sent the message: "Black Lives Matter advocates dignity, justice and freedom. Not murder."Some of the largest police forces in the United States were on high alert on Friday, following the attacks in Dallas, with departments in New York and Boston ordering officers to patrol in pairs.-PANIC IN THE STREETS-The shots rang out as a protest in Dallas was winding down, sending marchers screaming and running in panic through the city's streets.It was the deadliest day for police in the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.A total of 12 police officers and two civilians were shot during the attack, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. Three of the officers who were shot were women, he said.Rawlings told CBS News the people in custody, including one woman, were "not being cooperative" with police investigators. He said the assailant who was dead was being fingerprinted and his identity checked with federal authorities.Brown declined to say how many people were involved in the attack, saying, "We're going to keep these suspects guessing."There was no sign of international links to the attacks, U.S. officials said on Friday.One of the dead officers was identified as Brent Thompson, 43. He was the first officer killed in the line of duty since Dallas Area Rapid Transit formed a police department in 1989, DART said on its website. Thompson joined DART in 2009.Earlier, Brown said the shooters, some in elevated positions, used rifles to fire at the officers in what appeared to be a coordinated attack."(They were) working together with rifles, triangulating at elevated positions in different points in the downtown area where the march ended up going," Brown told a news conference.A video taken by a witness shows a man with a rifle crouching at ground level and shooting a person who appeared to be wearing a uniform at close range. That person then collapsed to the ground.Reuters could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the video.-'DESPICABLE ATTACK'-President Barack Obama, who was traveling in Poland, expressed his "deepest condolences" to Rawlings on behalf of the American people."I believe I speak for every single American when I say that we are horrified over these events and we are united with the people and police department in Dallas," he said.Obama said the FBI was in contact with Dallas police and that the federal government would provide assistance."We still don't know all of the facts. What we do know is that there has been a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement," he said.The shooting, which erupted shortly before 9 p.m. CDT (0100 GMT), occurred near a busy area of downtown Dallas filled with restaurants, hotels and government buildings.Mayor Rawlings advised people to stay away on Friday morning as police combed the area. Transportation was halted and federal authorities stopped commercial air traffic over the area as police helicopters hovered.The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is one of the nation's most populous and is home to more than 7 million people.The Dallas shooting happened as otherwise largely peaceful protests unfolded around the United States after the police shooting of Philando Castile, a 32-year-old black man, on Wednesday during a traffic stop near St. Paul, Minnesota.The day earlier, police in Baton Rouge shot dead Sterling, 37, while responding to a call alleging he had threatened someone with a gun.Over the last two years, there have been periodic and sometimes violent protests over the use of police force against African-Americans in cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York. Anger has intensified when the officers were acquitted in trials or not charged at all.Dallas is a pioneer in training its police officers in de-escalation techniques, Rawlings told reporters, saying the department had the lowest number of police-involved shootings of any large American city.-'THE END IS COMING'-The suspect in the Dallas standoff had told police "the end is coming" and that more police were going to be hurt and killed.Police said they were questioning two occupants of a Mercedes they had pulled over after the vehicle sped off on a downtown street with a man who threw a camouflaged bag inside the back of the car. A woman was also taken into custody near the garage where the standoff was taking place.Mayor Rawlings visited the wounded at Parkland hospital, the same hospital where President John F. Kennedy was taken after he was shot in Dallas in November 1963.Outside the hospital, officers stood in formation and saluted as bodies of the officers were about to be transported.Presidential candidates Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton canceled planned events following the attack."Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they've lost hope," Trump said in a statement. "This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies."Clinton said on Twitter: "I mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families & all who serve with them."(Reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee, Eric M.

Protesters mass after another police shooting of black man in U.S.-[Reuters]-By David Bailey-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS

ST PAUL, Minn. (Reuters) - Protesters in Chicago, New York and St. Paul, Minnesota, took to the streets on Thursday to express outrage after the second fatal police shooting of a black man in the United States in two days.The protests were peaceful but tension was evident after the shooting of Philando Castile, 32, by police near St. Paul late on Wednesday. His girlfriend posted live video on the internet of the bloody scene minutes afterward, which was widely viewed.Castile’s death occurred within a day of the shooting of 37-year-old Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sterling was killed during an altercation with two white police officers. Graphic video of that incident caused an outcry on social media.In Chicago, protesters shut down a stretch of the Dan Ryan Expressway - one of Chicago's main arteries - for about 10 minutes on Thursday.In New York, several hundred protesters blocked traffic in Times Square in the heart of Manhattan, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot." Police eventually cleared the intersection of 7th Avenue and 42nd Street to let traffic proceed.In St. Paul, about a thousand people gathered outside the governor's mansion, chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, those killer cops have got to go," and other slogans.Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton made a brief appearance in an attempt to quell the crowd. Earlier in the day, he said a state investigation was already under way."Would this have happened if the driver and the passengers were white? I don’t think it would have," Dayton told reporters. "So I’m forced to confront that this kind of racism exists, and it's incumbent upon all of us to vow and ensure that it doesn't happen and doesn't continue to happen."Dayton called for the U.S. Department of Justice to open its own investigation, but the department said on Thursday it would assist the state investigation as necessary. The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the Baton Rouge shooting.-OBAMA ON "RACIAL DISPARITIES"-Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, videotaped the minutes immediately following his shooting and posted it on Facebook Live. Castile, who was driving, was shot with Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter in the car. The video showed blood oozing through Castile's shirt as he appeared to lose consciousness.President Barack Obama said the killings were tragedies."All of us as Americans should be troubled by these shootings, because these are not isolated incidents. They're symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system," he said in remarks after arriving in Poland for a NATO summit.The use of force by police against African-Americans in cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York has sparked periodic and sometimes violent protests in the past two years and has spawned a movement called Black Lives Matter. Anger has intensified when the officers involved in such incidents have been acquitted in trial or not charged at all."I was already fuming when I woke up this morning over Baton Rouge, but for it happen here again just pushed me right over the edge," said truck driver Thomas Michaels, 42, who was among the protesters in St. Paul. "We live in a racist society where black lives don't matter, my kids lives don't matter and I'm sick of it. I don't even know if it can be fixed."Another protester, retail worker Tanya McDonald, 28, said: "What gets me is how many people are failing to see that this is happening almost every day. We're dying, we're being killed off by people hiding behind a badge and no one's doing anything to stop it."Reynolds' video showed a police officer outside the car pointing a gun. Reynolds described what was going on, sometimes speaking calmly to the police officer, sometimes with her voice rising as she feared Castile was dying.Reynolds said Castile was shot after police pulled their car over, citing a broken tail light. "Nothing within his body language said 'Kill me, I want to be dead,'" she said on Thursday.-OFFICER PUT ON LEAVE-A statement on the website of the City of Falcon Heights, where the shooting occurred, said a Saint Anthony Village police officer discharged his gun during a traffic stop at about 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday evening, and the unidentified driver later died at Hennepin County Medical Center.The Hennepin County Medical Examiner said that Castile died from multiple gun shot wounds at 9:37 p.m. at Hennepin County Medical Center and his death was a homicide.It said the officer involved had been placed on paid administrative leave, as is standard procedure for Falcon Heights, which is about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of downtown Minneapolis. The ethnicity of the police officer was not clear. Attempts to reach the police department for further comment were unsuccessful.Minnesota officials declined in a Thursday afternoon news conference to identify the officer who shot Castile, saying it would do so after they completed interviewing him.The city's website said the Saint Anthony Village police department was working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and other law enforcement agencies on an investigation.The labour union that represents the officer who shot Castile urged people to reserve judgment."We know that people are angry, discouraged and heartbroken," said Sean Gormley, executive director of Law Enforcement Labor Services, in a statement. "We support an open, thorough and objective investigation that we believe, in time, will provide the answers to the questions we all have."Castile's mother, Valerie Castile, described her son as a "laid back" but industrious man who worked as a school cafeteria supervisor and enjoyed playing video games. He had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, she told CNN.Reynolds said police had not even tried to check if her boyfriend was alive after they shot him, and it had taken at least 15 minutes for paramedics to arrive."Not one shot, not two shots, not three shots, but five shots," she said at the news conference. "They did not check for a pulse at the scene of the crime."The Washington Post said Castile was at least the 506th person and 123rd black American shot and killed by police so far in 2016, according to a database it has set up to track such deaths.(Additional reporting by Laila Kearney, Bill Trott, Colleen Jenkins, Julia Edwards, Karen Pierog, Michael Hirtzer, Tom Polansek, Justin Madden, Nick Carey and Eric M.

Black officer says Louisiana shooting made her want to quit-[The Canadian Press]-The Associated Press-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS

WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, Ohio - A black police officer in suburban Cleveland said in a video posted on Facebook she was so upset after watching the fatal police shooting of a black man in Louisiana that she wanted to quit.Nakia Jones, who said she is the only black female officer in Warrensville Heights, said she became an officer to make a difference in people's lives."If you are white and you're working in a black community and you are racist, you need to be ashamed of yourself," Jones said in the video. "You stood up there and took an oath. If this is not where you want to work, then you need to take your behind somewhere else."Her impassioned reaction had been watched more than 3 million times since it was posted to her Facebook page Wednesday.In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Alton Sterling was shot early Tuesday as he wrestled with two white police officers outside a convenience store. Police there say he was armed.Cellphone video of his shooting death posted online by a community activist set off angry protests. It was unclear whether Sterling had the gun in his hand or was reaching for it when he was shot.Louisiana's governor, Democrat John Bel Edwards, asked the U.S. Department of Justice to lead a civil rights investigation into the killing.Jones said the video of the shooting opened her eyes."I got to see what you all see," she said. "If I wasn't a police officer and I wasn't on the inside, I'd be saying, 'Look at this racist.'"In a press conference Thursday, she said her opinion is the shooting of Sterling "could have been handled differently" and people should be held accountable for their actions."Sometimes our peers have to hold us accountable," she said.And she reiterated her position that there's no place for racist police officers, black or white, in U.S. communities."If you are prejudiced," she said, "take the uniform off, put the hood on."___Online:https://www.facebook.com/nakiajonesproductions/videos/10208712158314077/?pnref=story.

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

Fico: EU leaders need to overcome fear By Eszter Zalan-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 6. Jul, 17:16-Slovak prime minister Robert Fico said Wednesday (6 July) that EU leaders have to come up with substantial answers to the loss of confidence in the EU by European citizens, otherwise it would lead to the rise of populism."We have to overcome the fear of political leaders that we won’t be able to manage the current crisis," he said in an address to the European Parliament to mark the start of the Slovak presidency of the EU Council.He added that confidence in the EU is diminishing because citizens have the same fear.He added that fear triggers separatist forces, contributes to fragmentation and shakes the EU's institutional basis and European values and ideals. Fico said fear is reflected in the rise of nationalism and populism, which offer radical and simple solutions."People demand new trust," he said, adding that the EU cannot only focus on crisis management.The Slovak PM said the informal summit of 27 leaders on 16 September in Bratislava will have to discuss the long-term vision for the EU and will mark the high point of the Slovak presidency.He warned against a "business as usual" statement coming out of the Bratislava summit, which, he said, would only prove eurosceptics right."It would be harmful, if we would leave Bratislava with a statement saying that everything is fine, but [that] people don’t understand us," he said, adding that such a statement would only fuel more fragmentation and more referendums."It [the EU] needs to be more flexible, more responsive to diversity, get rid of the stamp of elitism and be more understandable for citizens, who perceive it as divorced from their reality and everyday problems," Fico warned. The UK vote, he said, was a confirmation of this.On a positive note, Fico added that surveys show that in a majority of member states, citizens see EU membership positively. They still believe in the EU project, even though it is not perfect, but it makes sense and has no alternative.Despite the pro-EU speech by Fico, the leader of the conservative EPP group Manfred Weber in a following debate reminded the house that there was a tone of populism in the recent Slovak elections.-Brexit-The Slovak prime minister also warned that the British decision to leave the union mirrors the "failure of the EU to communicate" its achievements.Fico advocated a simplified EU communications policy that is understandable to all."We need to simplify communication with the people. I regret that often we fail to explain that a stronger Europe is in the interest to all of us, not Brussels," he said.He called the Brexit campaign "a laboratory" for arguments in favour of the EU and for what he called half-truths and lies against the EU.-Migration-With regards to migration, Fico said the Slovak presidency will focus on protection of external borders, preserving Schengen, and eliminating the causes of migration.Slovakia is in a peculiar position as it has challenged the EU decision last year to distribute refugees across the continent on a quota basis, something that is also a part of the European Commission's proposal on reforming the bloc's asylum policy.Some MEPs criticised Fico for earlier saying that Muslims are not welcome in Slovakia, on which he did not comment later.The socialist prime minister said the European Border Guard agency should start functioning under the Slovak presidency.Fico said Slovakia is in favour of a common asylum policy, but wants to secure certain flexibility for individual member states, referring to the possibility of not applying the EU's mandatory sharing of asylum seekers.However, the commission vice-president Frans Timmermans warned member states that the EU's migration policy cannot be "a la carte".He rebuffed suggestions that Slovakia lacked solidarity with member states that are overwhelmed by asylum seekers, citing the example of Slovakia helping out Austria with housing for refugees.

EU capitals woo British business after Brexit By Aleksandra Eriksson-JULY 7,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:30-British prime minister David Cameron once promised to "roll out the red carpet" for French professionals who didn't want to pay high income taxes. The year was 2012 and Francois Hollande had just been elected in France on a promise to tax top earners 75 percent of their wealth.Following Britain’s vote to leave the EU, France was quick to announce that the red carpet can go both ways.“We want to build the financial capital of the future,” prime minister Manuel Valls said on Wednesday during an annual conference of France’s financial industry lobby, Europlace. “Now is the time to come to France", he said.Dublin and Luxembourg also voiced bids this week to snatch business from the City of London, which is home to a fifth of global banking operations, amid the uncertainty caused by Britain’s vote to quit the EU.Luxembourg's economy and finance ministers, Etienne Schneider and Pierre Gramegna, said they will tour the UK by the end of the month to promote the Grand Duchy as an alternative location.Ireland revealed plans for an advertising campaign targeting fund managers. Its state agency for foreign investment, IDA Ireland, said it had already contacted 1,200 British companies since the Brexit vote on 24 June.Dublin has highlighted its similarities with the UK, including the use of the English language, as its selling points.Luxembourg spoke of its political stability due to its strong pro-European sentiment.France's Valls recalled plans to cut corporate taxes from 33 to 28 percent. He announced a new service to help companies relocate. He said it was possible to tweak the system so as to provide tax reductions to foreigners for their first eight years in residence instead of the current five, and committed to open international schools where children would be taught in their mother tongue.Bank of France governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau also vowed to quickly examine applications from British financial institutions that wanted to relocate to Paris.But for his part, Germany’s powerful finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble warned of a "race to the bottom" on competitive tax cuts.The German statement came after the UK's chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, pledged on Monday to cut corporate tax to less than 15 percent to encourage firms to stay in the UK.Meanwhile, the Brexit fallout saw the pound plummet to new lows against the US dollar on Wednesday.Seven UK property funds also froze withdrawals to stop investors from pulling out of the British market and the number of job ads in Britain has fallen by nearly 700,000 since it voted to leave the EU on 23 June.Some linked the latter development to growing hostility towards foreigners, others said it was an early sign of companies pulling out.Britain may run into problems of finding skilled workers if EU citizens leave in large numbers, one consultancy warned.But Amazon, the online shopping platform, said it will create 1,000 new jobs in the UK, on top of the 2,500 announced earlier this year. The firm said that Brexit had not changed its plans.

Slovenian police raid central bank, rebuff Draghi By Blaz Zgaga-july 7,16-euobserver

LJUBLJANA, Today, 13:53-More than 40 criminal police raided four locations in Slovenia on Wednesday (6 July), including the headquarters of the Central Bank of Slovenia, major state owned bank Nova Ljubljanska banka (NLB), and the local offices of international accountancy firms Ernst & Young and Deloitte.Slovene police said the raids focused on collecting evidence for the suspected crimes of abuse of office and official duties. Four persons are suspected. None have been arrested.According to Slovene media, the four suspects are the governor of the central bank Bostjan Jazbec, former vice-governors Stanislava Zadravec Caprirolo and Janez Fabijan, and the head of the central bank’s assets evaluation division, Tomaz Cemazar.According to Slovene police, there is reasonable ground to suspect that officials of a legal entity under public law took part in a scam worth €257 million.The case involved a Slovene central bank decision to cancel part of NLB’s debt, held in the form of subordinated bonds.The central bank issued the “urgent measure” on grounds that NLB was at risk due to its negative working capital - a situation in which a bank’s current liabilities exceed its monetizable assets - resulting in the multi-million euro windfall.The Slovenian National Investigation Bureau started its pre-trial investigation in December 2014 after police received several accusations of foul play.The criminal inquiry is being led by the Special Prosecutor's Office for organised crime, corruption and terrorism.For its part, the Central Bank of Slovenia confirmed on Wednesday that individual employees’ homes had been searched in connection with a pre-trial probe.It said it could not give further information due to the ongoing nature of proceedings. But its press release added links to a letter of complaint by Mario Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank (ECB).Draghi’s letter, which was addressed to the European Commission and to Slovenia’s prosecutor general, said the police was guilty of “unlawful seizure of ECB information” and of violating “the ECB’s privilege on inviolability of its archives”.He said the raids could stop the Slovenian central bank from doing its job as part of the eurozone governance system and could impede the governor, Jazbec, from fulfilling his tasks as one of the ECB’s governors.The Slovene police said on Thursday that central bank employees do not enjoy special immunity and that they performed the raids in line with a search warrant.A commission spokesman in Brussels said it is “too early” to comment on the “ongoing” proceedings.The case dates back to autumn 2013, when Slovenia injected more than €4.5 billion into its banks on the back of stress tests conducted by international consultancy firms Ronald Berger and Oliver Wyman.The bailout stirred controversy because thousands of bank bond holders were subjected to haircuts that wiped out their investments overnight.Many of them filed complaints, criminal charges and libel suits against bank authorities.One of the cases went all the way to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) after Slovenia’s constitutional court referred it to the EU tribunal for clarification.According to criminal charges filed by the Panslovenian Shareholders Association, NLB had surplus capital of €835 million as of 30 September 2013.But the same day, Jazbec’s central bank said NLB had negative capital of €318 million and imposed the haircut on holders of subordinated bonds, which are financial instruments with a lower guarantee of pay-back if the issuer gets into trouble.The Panslovenian Shareholders Association said that if the Central Bank of Slovenia was telling the truth, then NLB falsified its balance sheets to the tune of more than €1 billion.It says that if the NLB balance sheet was really in the red, then NLB still failed to protect its investors’ assets and its people should still face criminal charges.The pain of the 2013 bank overhaul was felt directly by some in the country.In January 2014, the general manager of Bank of Celje committed suicide after the central bank renationalised the lender and imposed haircuts.Under the Slovene criminal code, a person guilty of abuse of office or official duties who has acquired for himself or a third person a large financial benefit that corresponds to his initial intent should go to jail for between one and eight years.

Poland tries to appease EU critics before Nato summit By Aleksandra Eriksson-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 6. Jul, 19:23-The Polish parliament is expected to pass on Thursday (7 July) a bill that the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party says will alleviate EU concerns over the rule of law in the country.”We all want to solve the problem of the constitutional court,” prime minister Beata Szydlo said on Wednesday.She said she hoped that opposition groups in Poland and the EU institutions in Brussels shared this view.The constitutional dispute erupted last year when PiS tried to appoint loyalist judges to the Constitutional Tribunal and passed laws that critics says paralysed its work.The court ruled that the reforms were unconstitutional, but the government refused to recognise the decision.The European Commission in January launched an investigation into rule of law in Poland, leading to back-and-forth statements by both sides.The EU executive stepped up the procedure on 1 June by sending an opinion detailing its concerns to Poland’s government.Its text is confidential, but vice-president Frans Timmermans explained that the institution remained concerned over the appointment of judges, respect for court rulings and the court's effectiveness to review new legislation.The draft PiS bill relaxes some of the party’s previous demands, for instance on the quorum of judges needed to take a decision.But it says the tribunal must fully include the PiS-loyal judges in its work and that the tribunal’s earlier verdict, on the illegality of PiS intrusions into its work, should go in the bin.The bill is likely to be adopted as PiS holds a majority in the Sejm, the Polish parliament.Polish media reported that PiS wanted to pass the bill so as to please US president Barack Obama before a Nato summit that starts in Warsaw on Friday.-Problems of secrecy-The rapporteur, PiS MP Bartlomiej Wroblewski, told this website that the EU Commission's opinion was “not without significance” in the process.He added, however, that he hadn’t seen the text because it wasn't forwarded to the Sejm.PiS critics told EUobserver they did not see the point of being kept in the dark by the EU executive.”We can’t be sure the government acts on the promises made to the commission,” an NGO, the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, said.”We can’t table amendments to address the commission’s concerns,” an opposition MP, Ryszard Petru, added.-A ‘made-up’ process?-During the past months, PiS representatives said they will hold talks with Brussels but also questioned the real reasons behind the EU’s involvement.Wroblewski told EUobserver he feared the commission didn’t know the details of Polish politics and had been too quick to pass judgement.PiS MEP Tomasz Poreba told this website the government felt it had been singled out unfairly. He said that his colleagues in the European Parliament vehemently attacked PiS, but ”not because they care about Poland”.”They are just trying to support their allies in the Polish opposition,” the MEP said, referring to the centre-right Civic Platform and the liberal Modern parties.”This conflict is the opposition’s only fuel,” he added. ”They have no ideas for Poland's future ... they tabled maybe three own proposals under the current mandate."Poreba also challenged the legality of the commission probe.The EU Council's own legal service has argued that EU treaties don't empower institutions to create a rule-of-law supervision mechanism.The legal service recommended that the rule of law should be monitored by peer reviews in the Council instead.”The commission tries to build itself a position at the expense of other institutions,” Poreba said.PiS party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski warned in May that PiS would challenge the procedure in the the European Court of Justice (ECJ) if things ”got fierce”.But a legal challenge brought by the Polish government would likely fail, as ECJ only reviews conformity with legally binding EU acts, while the rule-of-law opinion is of a non-binding nature.Leonard Besselink, a professor of constitutional law at Amsterdam university, told this website that he disagreed with the legal service and thought the commission had the right to issue opinions under the EU treaty.He noted that the legal service did not necessarily represent the Council, where member states sit, and that the commission had developed the rule-of-law mechanism at the request of EU capitals.But he said the Treaty didn't give the Commission right to take punitive action.A high-ranking Polish diplomat also doubted the commission would take further steps, such as recommending that Poland should lose voting rights in the Council.”The commission has stopped putting pressure on the government lately,” the diplomat told EUobserver on Wednesday.-Beyond the commission’s instrument-Sophie in ’t Veld, a Dutch liberal MEP, told this website it's "unfortunate that the Commission procedure doesn’t seem to work”.She said that the Polish effort to adopt a law at odds with EU expectations was an ”act of defiance” to EU authority.In ’t Veld is steering a report on ways to strengthen EU monitoring of the rule of law through the European Parliament and said she hoped to work with the Slovak EU presidency to create a more effective instrument.

EU ignores MEP demands on US free trade deal, NGOs say By Nikolaj Nielsen-JULY 7,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:29-Opposition against the EU's free-trade deal with the United States continues to mount in the lead up to the next round of talks next week.On Thursday (7 July), organisations representing farmers and the environment, among others, sent a letter of protest against the trade talks to the head of the European parliament Martin Schulz.The European Commission is negotiating the so-called Transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP) in the hope of getting a deal before the end of US president's Obama term.But the groups say the Brussels-executive has defied EU parliament demands not to discuss issues like chemicals "where the EU and the US have very different rules".David Azoulay, a senior attorney at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), says the commission is ignoring parliament's recommendations to keep chemicals out of TTIP.“As it stands, TTIP threatens the EU’s ability to limit exposure to toxic chemicals by undermining its more precautionary approach to regulation," he said in a statement.The EU parliament last July had issued a set of recommendations on the trade talks.MEPs in the assembly demanded, among other things that the commission "fully respect[s] the established regulatory systems on both sides of the Atlantic."But the groups in the letter to Schulz say the EU commission is set to ignore this as well.They say the US will be granted early access to draft EU rules even before the EU parliament.Such privileged access may enable the "US government to propose certain legislation or undermine existing proposals" before the formal regulatory process has even started.The Health and Environment Alliance (Heal), an umbrella group of non-profits, warns the access is likely to increase US pressure to ease rules on things like hormone disrupting chemicals."In Europe we have banned over 80 pesticides, which are still legal in the US," said Heal's executive director Genon K.Jensen.A third issue revolves around the EU commission plan to set up an investment court system that will allow companies to challenge governments for perceived profit loss.The commission argues the court will be more transparent than the existing investor state dispute settlement.The investor state dispute settlement is a system of arbitration contained in numerous trade treaties. It is often the chosen method of solving disputes.But the groups say the new court proposal fails to respect the jurisdictions of courts of the EU and member states.Earlier this year, German magistrates described the commission's court proposal as unlawful.The commission, for its part, says it is unlikely an investor would even use its new court.A commission spokesman told this website in February that the new court would not rule on member state law or EU."Hence the ICS [investment court system] in no way alters the established court system within the EU and the member states," he said.Some 65 organisations signed the letter to Schulz.Among them are Greenpeace, the Alliance for Cancer Prevention, and Friends of the Earth Europe.
