EARTHQUAKES

EZEKIEL 37:7,11-14
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.(POSSIBLE QUAKE BRINGS ISRAEL BACK TO LIFE-SO NOISE AND SHAKING-QUAKES WILL ALSO DESTROY ISRAELS ENEMIES)
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

MATTHEW 24:7-8
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

MARK 13:8
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:(ETHNIC GROUP AGAINST ETHNIC GROUP) and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

Florida coastal town battered, bruised but not beaten by Hermine-[Reuters]-By Zachary Fagenson-September 2, 2016-yahoonews

CEDAR KEY, Fla. (Reuters) - Florida residents found power lines down and water rushing into their homes after Hurricane Hermine cut across the state on Friday, with many feeling they had dodged what could have been a much worse blow from a tempest predicted to be life-threatening.Just a few days before Hermine hit the state, Terry Williams, 60, and his partner Martin Kemp opened a coffee shop called 1842 Daily Grind on Cedar Key, a coastal town of about 700 people about 90 miles north of Tampa.Almost as soon as the store opened for business, sea surges generated by Hermine led to more flood water flowing in than coffee moving out."This is day four and we're repairing water damage," Williams said. Among the items damaged were wood flooring, coffee grinders and new appliances that they can now never use.In the spirit of resilience and hospitality, the pair set a record player outside their store, offering free cookies, bagels and muffins for neighbors surveying damage. Many in the town on Friday placed water-soaked carpets in the sun to dry.Hermine was a hurricane when it hit Florida, the first to make landfall in more than a decade in the state, which has a history of being battered by storms.One person was feared dead in the storm that left nearly 300,000 homes and businesses without power.Damage to property was significant, but nowhere the level of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Andrew damaged more than 100,000 structures and caused billions of dollars in losses.Low-lying areas saw floods from Hermine and the state has not provided a tally for the damage, which appears significant.Molly Jubitz, manager of the Cedar Key public library, considers herself one of the lucky ones. She spent the night at a friend's home on high ground, fearing storm surges at her residence.She learned from a friend her house survived unscathed."Somehow no water got inside, which is amazing," she said.The same could not be said of the library, where the building had a water mark about a foot and half high on its walls showing where the flooding hit.Despite the risks from its low elevation and a global rise in sea levels, Jubitz said she and area residents cannot resist the laid-back lifestyle of coastal Florida."I'll do everything I can to keep my life out here."(Writing by Jon Herskovitz; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

Hermine pounds Florida, raising new Zika fears, then heads north-[By Letitia Stein]-September 2, 2016-yahoonews

TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - Hurricane Hermine wreaked havoc across Florida on Friday, knocking out power to nearly 300,000 homes and businesses, flooding low-lying areas and raising concerns about the spread of the Zika virus from pools of standing water left behind.The first hurricane to make landfall in Florida in 11 years, Hermine came ashore early on Friday near the Gulf shore town of St. Marks, 20 miles (30 km) south of the capital of Tallahassee, packing winds of 80 mph (130 kph) and churning up a devastating storm surge in coastal areas.Torrential downpours and high surf left parts of some communities under water early Friday, with mandatory evacuations ordered in parts of five northwestern Florida counties.One storm-related death was reported by authorities in the northern Florida town of Ocala, where a fallen tree killed a homeless man sleeping in his tent.Hermine, later downgraded to a tropical storm, was expected to snarl Labor Day holiday travel as it churned northeast after battering Florida's $89 billion tourism industry.As of 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT), the fourth named storm of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season was passing near Charleston, South Carolina with strong winds and heavy rains, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said. The governors of Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia declared emergencies for all or parts of their states, and a state of emergency remained in effect for most of Florida.Though maximum sustained winds had weakened to 50 mph (80 kph), the tempest headed to the Atlantic seaboard along a path where tens of millions of Americans live, prompting storm watches and warnings stretching as far north as Rhode Island, NHC said.-LIKELY TO REGAIN STRENGTH OVER ATLANTIC-The storm was projected to creep north along the Carolina coast Friday night, then gather strength after moving offshore into the Atlantic on Saturday morning, possibly reaching near-hurricane intensity by late Sunday, according to the center.In addition to powerful winds extending up to 185 miles (295 km) from its center, Hermine was expected to unleash a dangerous storm surge in the Hampton Roads area of tidewater Virginia, where flooding could reach 3 to 5 feet deep, the NHC said.The storm also could douse several southeastern and mid-Atlantic states with up to 15 inches (38 cm) of rain through Sunday.New Jersey, still mindful of devastation from superstorm Sandy in 2012, was on high alert as emergency officials advised residents to prepare for flooding, high winds and a surge of seawater.New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Friday activated his state's emergency operations center and ordered officials to stockpile resources, including sandbags and generators.New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said residents should avoid beach waters for fear of life-threatening riptides. "I say that to people who go the beach, I say that to surfers: Don't even think about it," De Blasio told reporters.In Florida, concerns over the standing water in which mosquitoes breed intensified as the state battles an outbreak of the Zika virus."It is incredibly important that everyone does their part to combat the Zika virus by dumping standing water, no matter how small," Florida Governor Rick Scott told a news conference, also warning people to watch out for downed power lines and avoid driving through standing water.Overnight, Pasco County crews rescued more than a dozen people after their homes were flooded.Richard Jewett, 68, was rescued from his home in New Port Richey, just north of Tampa, as emergency teams carried out a mandatory evacuation."The canal started creeping up toward the house, and even though it wasn't high tide it looked like it was coming inside," Jewett said.In the island community of Cedar Key, waters rose more than 9.5 feet (2.9 meters), among the highest surges ever seen, the National Weather Service said.(Additional reporting by Zachary Fagenson in Hudson Beach, Fla., Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee, Laila Kearney in New York and Jon Herskovitz in Austin; Editing by Daniel Trotta and Cynthia Osterman)

Hermine fells trees, blows out power, leaves one dead in US-[AFP]-Leila Macor-September 2, 2016-yahoonews

Miami (AFP) - Hermine uprooted trees, flooded streets and blew out power Friday as the hurricane swept across Florida's Gulf coast, grinding down to a tropical storm as it moved north.A homeless man was killed by a falling tree, Florida Governor Rick Scott said.There were no other reports of injuries but emergency crews worked "non-stop" overnight, rescuing 18 people from rising flood waters in Florida's Pascoe country, and several families in Hernando County, Scott said."Today, we know there is a lot of work left to do following this storm," the governor said in a statement."The number one thing is to stay safe," he said. "Life-threatening coastal flooding and rip currents will continue and we must all remain vigilant."Overall, the region appeared to have weathered the storm well, to the relief of local officials."Things are great here," said Van Johnson, the mayor of Apalachicola, near where Hermine roared ashore at hurricane strength around 1:30 am local time (0530 GMT)."We didn't experience any of the expected storm surges, damage to property," he told CNN. "The city fared well."Crews were out clearing away fallen trees and branches, and looking for downed power lines.Scott said 253,000 people were without power."Stay out of standing water especially near power lines," Scott advised Floridians.Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum said many power lines and trees were down and 100,000 customers left without electricity in his area."Our crews are right now out and surveying the damage," he told CNN.He warned residents to stay inside while authorities ensured there was no threat from downed power lines and other potential dangers.- Heading along US East Coast -At 2100 GMT, Hermine was 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Charleston, South Carolina and moving along the Atlantic coast at 20 miles per hour (30 kilometers per hour).The storm was packing sustained winds of 50 miles per hour, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said, warning of possible storm surges.Hermine threatened to bring heavy rains, flooding and tornadoes up the East Coast on the country's summer-ending Labor Day weekend.A tropical storm warning was issued for areas as far north as Sandy Hook, New Jersey, a beach resort area located 40 minutes by ferry from New York."There is a danger of life-threatening inundation during the next 48 hours" in coastal areas from North Carolina to Connecticut, the NHC said.Georgia has declared a state of emergency in 56 counties, and North Carolina in 33 counties.Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said 100 Florida National Guard personnel were activated, with 6,000 more on alert in the state and 34,000 ready to deploy from elsewhere in the United States.President Barack Obama has asked FEMA administrator Craig Fugate to keep him updated on the situation "and to alert him if there are any significant unmet needs", said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.Hermine was expected to veer off the North Carolina coast by Saturday afternoon.The hurricane was the first to hit Florida in 11 years since Wilma in 2005.Its winds rose up to 80 miles per hour before it came ashore just east of the town of St Marks on Florida's Apalachee Bay.Local television stations broadcast footage of buffeting winds, lashing rain and flooded streets.Hermine is expected to dump five to 10 inches (12 to 25 centimeters) of rain over the southeastern United States, with possible isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches.The last hurricane to make landfall in the United States was Arthur in 2014 in North Carolina.

Brexit may not happen, EU top judge says By Andrew Rettman and Peter Teffer-sept 2,16-euobserver

Brussels, Today, 09:29-The EU court’s most senior judge has cast doubt on whether the UK will really leave the EU, while adding that it was never a fully-fledged member in the first place.Koen Lenaerts, a Belgian judge who is the president of the European Court of Justice, spoke out in a radio interview broadcast on Thursday (1 September).“I am a very great fan of the UK,” he told Dutch radio programme De Kennis van Nu. “I would find it very regrettable for the EU that it would lose [the UK's] input … if it ever comes to a Brexit.”“Because of course, we don't know yet if and when and under what conditions [it might happen]. We have had the referendum, which was a clear political signal, but a lot still has to happen,” he said.“Let me be clear, everything is still somewhat speculative. And until now nothing has changed - the United Kingdom is still a full member”, he added.The Belgian law professor also said that the UK authorities and the British public never really felt part of the EU.He gave as an example billboards that he saw at Britain’s leading airport which depicted the EU as a foreign land.“At Heathrow [airport in London] you will find signs saying: 'Flights to the European Union’,” Lenaerts told the Dutch radio station.Comparing the UK with Norway, which, unlike Britain, is a member of the EU’s open-borders Schengen zone, he said: “In a certain way, Norway is more of a member state without actually being one, than the UK which formally is.”His comments come 10 weeks after British citizens voted to leave the EU.British PM Theresa May has indicated that she will trigger the formal process of leaving the union early next year, but the talks could drag out until 2019 or longer, and, in the meantime, the UK will remain an EU member.Some British politicians have said that the UK parliament or the devolved governments of Scotland and Northern Ireland could block the exit.Others have called for a new general election or a second referendum.Others still have said that the UK could remain an EU member if the EU made far-reaching reforms to its current form in the next few years.But earlier this week, May said: "There’s no second referendum; no attempts to sort of stay in the EU by the back door ... we’re actually going to deliver on this”.

No imminent UK decision on Chinese-backed nuclear plan as PM May heads to China-[By William James]-September 2, 2016-yahoonews

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May will not announce her keenly awaited decision on a partly-Chinese funded nuclear power project in the coming days, a British official said on Saturday as May flew to China to meet President Xi Jinping at her first G20 summit.May will make her major international summit debut on Sunday after Britain's shock vote in June to leave the European Union ousted her predecessor David Cameron and thrust her into control of the world's fifth-largest economy.She will use the meeting to try to persuade international partners that post-Brexit Britain will remain "open for business" and a champion of global free trade, the official said, in a bid to allay concerns of a more isolationist outlook.But despite scheduling a 30-minute meeting with Xi on Monday to discuss the two countries' future ties, May will stop short of sanctioning a Chinese-backed $24-billion plan for French firm EDF to build a nuclear power plant in southern England."We have said we'll make a decision this month, that remains the plan. I don't expect one in the next few days," the official told reporters ahead of the visit.The project is seen as a key test of May's attitude to Chinese investment in Britain after she upset Beijing by putting the deal on hold in July amid reports she was concerned the plan could harm national security.Before May became prime minister in July, Britain had expended huge diplomatic energy courting Chinese investors to finance billions of pounds of infrastructure projects, described by Xi as a "Golden Era" of relations between the two countries.The Hinkley Point project is seen as the frontrunner to closer ties with China on nuclear issues, paving the way for tens of billions of dollars of investment and another two nuclear power plants with Chinese involvement.The official said whatever the final decision on Hinkley was, it should not be over-interpreted as a guide to May's future trade and investment decisions."I'm not sure that when you look around the world at all the UK's partners that we are defined solely by one energy project," the official said.-OBAMA, PUTIN-British ministers have spent the months following the surprise 52-48 percent vote to leave the 28-country EU scrambling to work out an exit strategy that will avoid long term damage to the economy and the country's global influence.Rather than meet the European leaders with whom she will lock horns with over the coming years to define Britain's future ties to the EU, May will focus her attention in Hangzhou on courting non-EU countries with an eye on future trade deals.She will meet U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday and India's Narendra Modi on Monday, as well as making a lengthy address to all G20 nations during a trade-focused summit session, stating that Britain remains outward looking and economically strong."The prime minister will want to look at how we look to the future and now start planning for those relationships once the UK has left the European Union," the official said, adding that May would reiterate her intention not to trigger the formal 'Article 50' EU exit process this year.May will also use the summit, including a one-to-one meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, to stress that Brexit does not mean Britain will withdraw from its role in world affairs."It's a real opportunity for the prime minister to send a clear message to the world's largest economies that Britain will continue to play a bold, confident and outward looking role," the official said."We will continue to be a strong and dependable partner working with others to tackle the issues and challenges that countries around the world face."(Editing by Toby Chopra)

Czech intelligence alarmed by Russian 'threat' By Jakub Janda-euobserver

PRAGUE, 2. Sep, 19:20-The Czech domestic counter-intelligence agency, the Security Information Service (BIS), has just published its 2015 Annual Report.Besides terrorism and other threats, it provides more detailed insight into its counterintelligence activities than previously. And, as in past years, so too “in 2015, Chinese and Russian intelligence services were the most active in the Czech Republic”.The surge in Chinese economic activity is being supported by the Czech government and by president Milos Zeman, but it comes with a sting.“Chinese diplomatic, intelligence and economic entities focused on drawing on their success from 2014 … [and] actively worked on extending and maintaining Chinese influence in Czech politics and economy”, the BIS report said.The elephant, or bear, in the room is, however, Russia.“Russian intelligence services were the most active foreign intelligence services in the Czech Republic [in 2015]”, BIS said.By contrast, “BIS did not identify any significant activities of intelligence services of other former Soviet Union countries or of partner intelligence services”.One focal point is Russia’s diplomatic mission in Prague. It has 140 accredited diplomats, compared to some 70 US and 30 Chinese diplomats.But, according to BIS “a large number of Russian intelligence officers were active under diplomatic cover of the Russian embassy”.“Intelligence officers under diplomatic cover were active also at the embassies of other states; however, the number of Russian intelligence officials was much higher. Unlike intelligence officials of partner states, Russian (and some other) intelligence officers did not declare their status to the BIS”, it added.“Such clandestine behaviour, concealing the affiliation to an intelligence service, clearly signals activities threatening the security and other interests of the Czech Republic”.The problem also exists elsewhere in the EU.The Swedish counterintelligence agency, Sapo, estimates that one third of the 35 or so Russian diplomats accredited in Stockholm are intelligence officers.-Russian objectives-But the new BIS report goes further than ever in shedding light on the Kremlin’s objectives in the country.It said that, last year, Russia concentrated on “information operations” with six goals.The first was “weakening the strength of Czech media" (covert infiltration of Czech media and the internet, massive production of Russian propaganda and disinformation controlled by the state).It aimed “strengthening the information resistance of the Russian audience (prefabricated disinformation from Czech sources for the Russian audience)”.It also aimed at “exerting influence on the perceptions and thoughts of the Czech audience, weakening society’s will for resistance or confrontation (information and disinformation overload of the audience, relativisation of truth and objectivity, promoting the motto ‘everyone is lying’)”.The fourth objective was “creating or promoting inter-societal and inter-political tensions in the Czech Republic (foundation of puppet organisations, covert and open support of populist or extremist subjects)”.The next one was “disrupting the coherence and readiness of Nato and the EU (attempts to disrupt Czech-Polish relations, disinformation and alarming rumours defaming the US and Nato, disinformation creating a virtual threat of a war with Russia)”.The final objective was “damaging the reputation of Ukraine and isolating the country internationally (involving Czech citizens and organisations in influence operations covertly led in Ukraine or against it by Russia)”.The BIS also warned that, while Russia’s current operations centre around the Ukraine and Syria conflicts, “the infrastructure created for achieving these goals” is now a permanent feature in Czech life.It said boldly that “these activities pose a threat to the Czech Republic, EU and Nato” and that the “infrastructure” can be “used to destabilise or manipulate Czech society or its political environment at any time, if Russia wishes to do so”.-Three takeaways-There are three main takeaways from the findings.To begin with, there is an apparent shift towards public exposure of foreign hostile activities. In part, this is because the threat is bigger than before, but it is also due to the personal approach of the new BIS director, who was appointed just two weeks ago.The director has led BIS counter-intelligence operations for a decade, and has worked in the Czech services since the early 1990s.His new approach is still far from that of his colleagues in the Baltic states, who publish detailed evidence and even name individuals who pose a threat.But it is a welcome trend, given that surveys indicate that one in four Czech people now no longer trust their government or independent media and that the Czech president’s chancellery has been deeply infiltrated by the Kremlin.Next, the public warning of the Russian threat to Czech stability seems designed to put pressure on Czech decision-makers to take counter-measures.Finally, the BIS findings suggest that Russia’s current activities are just the starting line for future operations.In January 2018, the Czech Republic will hold presidential elections.Zeman, the Kremlin’s trojan horse, will seek a second term. He is already popular and he can play a useful geopolitical role for Moscow in the central European region.One can reasonably assume that the Kremlin will use its Czech infrastructure to do whatever it takes - including harsh intimidation and black propaganda - to keep its ally in Prague castle.Jakub Janda is deputy director of European Values, a Czech think tank, where he also runs the Kremlin Watch Programme

EU to help Ukraine cut gas dependence on Russia By Andrew Rettman-euobserver

BRUSSELS, 2. Sep, 18:30-The EU aims to help Ukraine become independent of Russian energy supplies in the next “three to four year”, its prime minister and an EU commissioner have said.Volodymyr Grossman, the prime minister, spoke of the plan in Kiev on Friday (2 September), while hosting the European Commission’s energy chief, Maros Sefcovic.He said Ukraine aims to “consume less energy and produce more energy” so that it can go from being “an energy importer to an energy exporter”, ensuring “energy independence” in “three or four years’ time”.Among the reforms, it aims to split up its notoriously corrupt national gas distributor, Naftogaz, to impose market prices for gas consumers, to create an independent energy regulator, and to create a new “energy efficiency fund”.Sefcovic said that Brussels and Kiev are “very close” to finalising a new memorandum on EU support for the initiatives.He said that if Ukraine created the efficiency fund, it would allow the EU to pay out a further €600 million in macro-financial assistance.He also pledged to get the European Investment Bank, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund to get behind the energy reforms.“Would Ukraine manage to increase its energy efficiency levels to the EU average level, the savings achieved would be greater than the energy consumption of Spain over a whole year. Ukraine could thus even become an exporter of energy”, the EU commissioner said.He added that part of the joint strategy would be to make sure Ukraine's poorest private households get relief from price hikes.Ukraine currently imports just 18 percent of its natural gas directly from Russia, compared to 34 percent in 2014. The drop is due, in large part, to reverse-flow purchases from Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.But its real dependence on Russia is higher, given that 90 percent of Slovak gas and some 45 percent of Hungarian and Polish gas originates in Russia.The dependence helps the Kremlin to exert political pressure on Kiev with cut-offs or threats of cut-offs in a situation set to get worse if Russia builds new pipelines under the Baltic Sea or Black Sea bypassing Ukraine, as well as its reverse-flow suppliers.The Russian timeline for the projects to be up and running is 2020 - the same as Grossman's "three to four years".With winter - the usual setting for Russian cut-offs - around the corner, Sefcovic added in Kiev that the EU commission is willing to mediate, as in the past, to keep the gas flowing to Ukraine and via Ukraine to Europe.“The trilateral format remains the most suitable for discussing gas supplies for the upcoming winter heating season. In this sense, I am also looking forward to meet with Russian authorities in the next weeks”, he said.

U.S., Russia said nearing deal on Aleppo truce, aid access-[Reuters]-By Arshad Mohammed-September 2, 2016-yahoonews

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and Russia are nearing a deal that would set a 48-hour ceasefire in Aleppo, allow U.N. humanitarian access and limit Syrian government aircraft flights, diplomatic sources said on Friday.The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the deal is not set in stone, key elements are still being discussed and critical stakeholders, including U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Syrian opposition groups, are likely to have doubts.If a deal were reached, it could lead to U.S. intelligence sharing with Russia that would allow Russian forces to target fighters of the group formerly known as Nusra Front, which the United States views as a terrorist group linked to al Qaeda."It's not done yet," said one source, saying U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov could announce a deal, if one is reached, as early as Sunday, though it appeared to be slipping to Monday or beyond.Among the elements of the deal under discussion are:- immediate humanitarian access to Aleppo via the Castello Road, which is currently controlled by Syrian government forces;- government checkpoints on the road would only be allowed to verify that U.N. seals on humanitarian trucks were intact, but not to inspect the cargoes or to remove their contents;- Syrian government aircraft would be limited to "non-combat" flights in designated areas;- if the agreement were respected, the United States could share intelligence to allow Russian forces to target the group formerly known as al Nusra. The militant group, which is seeking to topple Syrian President Bashar al Assad, in July said it had cut its ties to al Qaeda and changed its name to Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, but Washington still regards it as a terrorist group.It was not clear what, if anything, the deal might say about a nationwide cessation of hostilities, something the United States has been seeking to restore since it unravelled earlier this year.Kerry and Lavrov failed a week ago in Geneva to reach a breakthrough deal on military cooperation and a nationwide cessation of hostilities in Syria, saying they still had issues to resolve before an agreement could be announced.The talks have been complicated since initial meetings in July by new government attacks on opposition groups and a major offensive in the southern part of the divided city of Aleppo led by opposition fighters intermingled with the Nusra Front.The United States and Russia back opposing sides in Syria's civil war, which shows little sign of ending after 5-1/2 years of violence in which as many as 400,000 have died and half the country's prewar population has been uprooted.Assad's future is not a focus of the current U.S.-Russian talks. Instead, they are focused on ending the violence as a first step to resuming on-again, off-again negotiations on a political transition in Syria.Among those likely to oppose the emerging deal are opposition groups which do not wish to return to talks until there is a wider halt to the violence and U.S. military officials loath to share sensitive information with Russia.The idea of sharing intelligence with Russia has caused disquiet among countries in the anti-Islamic State coalition, some of whose Arab members bitterly resent Russia’s military intervention to prop up Assad.A U.S. State Department spokesman declined to comment on the possibility of a deal.(Reporting by Arshad Mohammed; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

EU ministers look for ways to appease Turkey By Eric Maurice-sept 2,16-euobserver

Bratislava, Today, 21:45-EU foreign affairs ministers on Friday (2 September) signaled a willingness to ease tensions with Turkey after relations were damaged by a failed coup against president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in July.A meeting on Saturday with Turkey's Europe minister Omer Celik could also open the way to an agreement on visa liberalisation later this year."I expect that after tomorrow's meeting we will help to improve, normalise the atmosphere between the EU and Turkey," sais Slovakia's Miroslav Lajcak, whose country currently chairs the council of the EU."Turkey is an important partner, we need to clarify what it is that what we want from Turkey and with Turkey," he told journalists before the meeting in Bratislava.Since the coup and the widespread crackdown that followed, Ankara has accused the EU of not being supportive enough and Europeans have warned Turkish authorities against violations of human rights and the rule of law.Erdogan has also threatened to scrap a migrant deal signed off in March if his country was not granted a visa-free regime by the end of October.Lajcak expressed some kind of European mea culpa. He said that while visiting Ankara last week, he "could feel very strong emotions on the Turkish side that the EU reacted very slowly" to the attempted coup."We need to clean the atmosphere," a EU source told EUobserver, adding that Turkey is "too big to be ignored".The diplomacy chiefs exchanged their views before meeting Celik on Saturday.They held what the source said was a long and intense discussion on the issue and "nobody left the room even to go to the toilets".'Clear attitude'-Before meeting Celik they had "to mentally prepare", the source said, and bridge differences between themselves, with some countries holding a harder line towards Turkey.The Austrian minister Sebastian Kurz, in particular, repeated that his country wanted to suspend accession talks with Turkey."The EU and Turkey can intensively cooperate on economy and other issues, but I don't see Turkey as a member of the European Union," he said before the meeting."We consider that purges and attempt to muzzle dissent are a wrong path. The EU must show a clear attitude," he said.Kurz's compatriot and EU neighbourhood commissioner Johannes Hahn said the EU had "more important topics of discussion than accession" and that focussing on that issue "creates an artificial discussion".After both migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos and European Parliament president Matin Schulz visited Ankara on Thursday and said that the EU and Turkey should be able to find a solution to grant Turkish citizens a visa-free regime, some EU officials said Friday that a compromise was at hand."There are signs on both sides that we want to find compromise," the EU source said.The official said that despite public threat, Turkey did not really want to scrap the migrant deal.-'Common interest'-He also said that while Turkish government was "pushing aggressively" to get visa liberalisation without changing an anti-terror law as required by the EU, it was showing a readiness to find a solution "to outline a way to fulfill" EU criteria.A solution could be that Turkey makes a commitment to change the controversial law so that the EU says the benchmarks are met.Asked by EUobserver, French minister Jean-Marc Ayrault did not comment about that possibility but said that it was EU and Turkish "common interest that things make progress".After weeks of tensions and with a Turkish government increasingly difficult to deal with, the EU source admitted that the EU would have to take a possible Turkish commitment at face value."What leverage do we have?," he asked, implying a negative answer.

Greece on edge, as Turkish coup prompts surge in new arrivals By Omaira Gill-sept 2,16-euobserver

Athens, Today, 08:51-After dropping for several months, the numbers of refugees pouring through Greece have started to increase again in recent weeks.When an EU-Turkey deal was hacked out in March 2016, it was hailed by EU governments as a success. The massive numbers that had transited through Greece in 2015 and early 2016 quickly whittled down to almost nothing.But people have not stopped coming, and the failed coup in Turkey on 15 July seems to have had consequences.The EU-Turkey deal came into effect on 20 March 2016.In February, UNHCR data showed 55,222 arrivals in Greece. This had fallen to 26,623 in March and 3,419 in April. The numbers for May and June were more or less steady at 1,465 and 1,489, respectively.But in July, the pattern began to change.There were 1,855 arrivals recorded for the month of July. This could be written off as part of the settling down period for the deal, until the numbers are broken down and matched with events which took place that month.On 15 July, an attempted putsch took place in Turkey. The number of arrivals from 1 July to 14 July came to 560. But that number jumped to 1,295 for the period 15 July to 31 July - an increase of 131 percent.Taking a step further back, between 15 June and 14 July, 1,438 arrivals were registered in Greece. But from 15 July to 14 August, the number was 2,675, representing an 86-percent increase in arrivals.-No Turkish police-In the face of this data, it is hard to ignore Turkey’s current instability as a driving factor behind refugee flows. Between 1 and 28 August, the latest available date for arrivals by the UNHCR, 2,810 refugees and migrants arrived on Greek shores.The EU-Turkey deal, already a precarious arrangement and widely condemned by human rights organisations, has many working parts.One is a convincing image of Turkey as a safe third country to return refugees to, something that Syrian refugees, and particularly Syrian Kurds, are not buying.The second is a stable Turkish government that does not have its attention taken up by internal unrest, and more recently, boots on the ground in Syria.The disarray left behind by the coup attempt has been seized upon and, in the fair summer weather, refugee numbers have begun climbing up.The third factor is Turkey’s cooperation, and it is this factor which could undo the deal.The UNHCR’s director Vincent Cochetel recently told the Guardian that parts of the deal are already de facto suspended due to the post-coup absence of Turkish police at the Greek detention centres.Meanwhile, the Turkish government has plainly stated that if there is no agreement for visa-free travel for Turkish nationals to the EU by October, as promised under the EU-Turkey deal, they will stop upholding their part of the bargain, and Greece could once more see record numbers flood across the sea.-Confusion in asylum process-As for those who do make it to Greece, the prospects are grim.Claiming asylum in Europe has been designed as a two-step process as of June this year under the approval of the UNHCR and the European Asylum Support Office.It was meant to ease the unrest growing among refugee populations and give authorities a more complete picture of who and where they are in order to process their claims fully.It was also meant to streamline the asylum process, but has caused confusion instead. Pre-registration comes first, after which the applicant receives an asylum seeker’s card granting them basic rights such as education for their children.The design of the process has left many convinced that the first step is the only one which needs completion, only for them to find there were still many more hoops to jump through before their dreams of life in Europe came closer to reality.There are currently more than 58,000 refugees in Greece. Around 10,000 of these are crammed into camps on the islands.It is a figure that has stubbornly refused to go down in any meaningful way thanks to a painfully slow relocation programme. Only around 4,000 of the 160,000 which EU member states pledged last year to take from Greece and Italy by September 2017 have actually been moved.Mayors from the Greek islands have spent the summer months making increasingly desperate appeals for something to be done about the backlog and the crawling pace of the relocation programme, citing the highly tense atmosphere both inside and outside the camps.Several communities do not want the refugees there, no more than the refugees want to be there themselves - an explosive combination.-Fear and confusion-Stuck in sub-standard, or as in the case of unofficial camps, non existent, accommodation, the refugees in Greece find themselves in limbo. In this environment, the ground is ripe for exploitation, which is already happening.Various groups who might not necessarily get along have been grouped together with little thought about the consequences.There is little by way of security, meaning that both religious fundamentalists and mafia groups prowl the camps looking for easy pickings.Cut off from viable work options, prostitution has become a means to survive for some migrants in the streets around Victoria Square, in downtown Athens.In Petra, under the shadow of Mount Olympus, a camp exclusively for Yazidis, a Kurdish minority, was set up after activists received reports that they were being constantly harassed and attacked by other refugees.Resentment is also growing between various refugee and migrant communities over who gets better treatment - Afghans, for example, are convinced that the Syrians are treated more favourably than they are, while Pakistani Christians are amazed at the lack of knowledge among Greek authorities about the persecution they face in their home country.Fights between Afghans and Pakistanis at the Elliniko camp in Athens are a regular occurrence (one such fight led to a fatality).Women and girls in particular suffer from being exposed to lack of adequate accommodation and lack of privacy. Reports of sexual harassment targeting women and children in official and unofficial camps in Greece are rife.In Greece, a climate of fear and confusion has taken hold.Several frontline islands, which rely heavily on tourism, have reported drops in tourist arrivals. Lesbos was hit particularly badly, with bookings down nearly 60 percent compared to last year.The battered infrastructure of these islands will not be able to withstand a repeat of the numbers seen last year.

23 MILLION STILL UNDER FLOODING THREAT FROM NOW TROPICAL STORM HERMINE.AFTER BEING A HURRICANE FOR A WHILE.ON THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND HOLIDAY.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun,(HEATING UP-SOLAR ECLIPSES) and in the moon,(MAN ON MOON-LUNAR ECLIPSES) and in the stars;(ASTEROIDS ETC) and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear,(TORNADOES,HURRICANES,STORMS) and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:(DESTRUCTION) for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(FROM QUAKES,NUKES ETC)

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

Hermine hammers Florida, leaving thousands without power-[Reuters]-By Letitia Stein-September 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - Wind and rain from Hurricane Hermine slammed Florida's northern Gulf Coast before it weakened to a tropical storm and ploughed its way overland toward the Atlantic Coast on Friday.Hermine made landfall early on Friday, bringing heavy rains and packing winds of 80 mph (130 km/h), causing damage and leaving tens of thousands of households without power along Florida's Gulf Coast."It is a mess... we have high water in numerous places," Virgil Sandlin, the police chief in Cedar Key, Florida, told the Weather Channel.Strong gusts downed power lines and trees as widespread flooding inundated communities in Florida before the hurricane weakened into a tropical storm as it reached Georgia and South Carolina, where conditions deteriorated early on Friday morning."The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will continue to cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," the National Hurricane Center said.The center warned that some areas along Florida's northern Gulf Coast may experience 9 feet (3 m) of flooding.Florida Governor Rick Scott said the storm could lead to deaths and told residents to stay indoors until it had passed.Pasco County reported crews rescued 18 people and brought them to shelters after their homes were flooded in Green Key and Hudson Beach early on Friday."Stay indoors even if it calm outside. The eye of Hermine may be passing through. Let it pass completely before surveying any damage," Governor Scott advised residents in a Twitter post.Hermine became the fourth hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic storm season. By 11 p.m. EDT, maximum winds were listed at 80 mph (130 kph), with hurricane-force winds extending up to 45 miles (75 km) from the storm's center.Hermine could dump as much as 20 inches (51 cm) of rain in some parts of the state. Ocean storm surge could swell as high as 12 feet (3.6 meters).Scott declared a state of emergency in 51 of Florida's 67 counties, and at least 20 counties closed schools.Mandatory evacuations were ordered in parts of five counties in northwestern Florida, with voluntary evacuations in at least three more counties. Twenty emergency shelters were opened across the state for those displaced by the storm."This is life-threatening," Scott told reporters on Thursday.In coastal Franklin County, people were evacuated from barrier islands and low-lying shore areas."Those on higher ground are stocking up and hunkering down," Pamela Brownlee, the county's emergency management director, said.The National Weather Service issued tornado and tropical storm watches and warnings for communities throughout northern Florida and north along Atlantic Coast, where it posed a Labor Day weekend threat for tens of millions of people.On its current path, the storm also could dump as much as 10 inches (25 cm) of rain on coastal areas of Georgia, which was under a tropical storm watch, and the Carolinas. Forecasters warned of "life-threatening" floods and flash floods there.The governors of Georgia and North Carolina on Thursday declared emergencies in affected regions. In South Carolina, the low-lying coastal city of Charleston was handing out sandbags.(Additional reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee, Laila Kearney in New York and Jon Herskovitz in Austin, Editing by Angus MacSwan)

Hurricane Hermine dampens Florida tourism on U.S. holiday weekend-[Reuters]-By Chris Prentice-September 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

(Reuters) - Before it even made landfall on Thursday, Hurricane Hermine had battered Florida's $89-billion tourism industry, snarling travel, cancelling a country music festival and scaring visitors away at the start of the U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend.Florida Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency, closing schools and government offices throughout much of the state as the storm barreled toward its northern Gulf Coast, including the cities of St. Petersburg and Tampa.The hazardous weather is the latest blow to the state's tourism industry, weeks after Florida confirmed cases of the Zika virus on both coasts, which dented travel to the region from expectant mothers and others.Just one pair of guests were sticking out the storm at St. Petersburg's Beach Drive Inn, ahead of the weekend the marks the unofficial end of summer vacations, said innkeeper Jana Kelly."We've had a couple cancellations and a couple rooms leave early. It's not great news, especially when it's a slower time of the year," she said, noting bookings typically pick up for the six-room bed-and-breakfast in October.At the western end of Florida's Gulf Coast, Pensacola's Margaritaville Beach Hotel was about 85 percent full at a time it would normally be sold out, said Jennifer Jackson, the hotel's director of marketing."We have seen some cancellations, but not everyone is bailing," said Jackson.She said the hotel, in an area expected to dodge the worst of the storm, had picked up some last-minute reservations from travelers who were cancelling vacations to cities including Panama City Beach, where organizers of the Gulf Coast Jam country-music festival had just pulled the plug on the three-day event due to begin Friday."Safety is the first concern for our visitors, country music fans and the festival organizers and sponsors," said Panama City Beach Mayor Mike Thomas in a post on the organizers' Facebook page.One in 10 flights into Tallahassee International Airport had been canceled as of Thursday afternoon, according to FlightAware.com. Major airlines including American Airlines and United Airlines offered fee waivers to travelers heading to or from airports in Florida as well as elsewhere in the southeastern United States.Hotels in Tampa also saw cancellations, with some offering special discounts to travelers marooned by the storm, said Cristina Duschek, spokesperson for the Visit Tampa Bay tourism board."The upside is that some people are staying longer in town to get through the storm," Duschek said in a phone interview.British student Domenico Zappala was ready to cool his heels in Miami International Airport waiting for a flight home to London."If it gets canceled or delayed, I'll just stick at the airport," Zappala said in an electronic message.(Reporting by Chris Prentice in New York; additional reporting by Amy Tennery; Editing by Scott Malone and David Gregorio)

Gaston weakens to tropical storm: NHC-[Reuters]-September 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

(Reuters) - Gaston weakened to a tropical storm and was approaching the Western Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, the National Hurricane Center said on Friday.Gaston, formerly a hurricane, was located about 315 miles (505 km) west of Faial Island in the Central Azores and was packing maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour (100 km/h), the Miami-based weather forecaster added.(Reporting By Nallur Sethuraman in Bengaluru, Editing by Angus MacSwan)

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.

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.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

ISRAELIS WARNED TO STAY CLEAR OF ETHIOPIA.

SpaceX rocket explodes, Israeli satellite on board destroyed-‘Anomaly’ on launchpad destroys rocket and $200 million Amos-6 satellite; no injuries reported in massive blast-By Times of Israel staff and AP September 1, 2016, 5:48 pm

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — An explosion rocked a SpaceX launch site Thursday during a routine rocket test, destroying the rocket and an Israeli communications satellite in its payload.SpaceX was preparing for the launch of the unmanned Falcon 9 rocket when the blast occurred shortly after 9 a.m., according to NASA.The test was in advance of a planned Saturday launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, which is next to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.A SpaceX spokesman said an “anomaly” during a static fire test caused the loss of the rocket and the payload, the $200 million Amos-6 satellite, operated by Israeli firm Spacecom.Per standard procedure, the pad was clear and there were no injuries,” SpaceX said in a statement.It did not give a reason for the blast.Statement on this morning's anomaly pic.twitter.com/3Xm2bRMS7T— SpaceX (@SpaceX) September 1, 2016-Buildings several miles away shook from the explosion, and multiple explosions continued for several minutes.Dark smoke filled the overcast sky. A half-hour later, a black cloud hung low across the eastern horizon.NASA — SpaceX’s major customer — said the explosion occurred at Launch Complex 40 at the Air Force station, and Kennedy emergency staff was on standby.At the same time, personnel were monitoring the air for any toxic fumes.Two NASA astronauts were conducting a spacewalk 250 miles up, outside the International Space Station, when the explosion occurred. Mission Control did not immediately advise them of the accident.SpaceX is one of two companies shipping supplies to the space station for NASA. It’s also working on a crew capsule to ferry station US astronauts; that first flight was supposed to come as early as next year.Amos-6 was intended to replace the aging Amos 2 communications satellite, launched in 2003.In October, Spacecom signed a deal with Eutelsat Communications and social media giant Facebook to use the Amos-6 to provide coverage for large swaths of sub-Saharan Africa.The explosion was the second major setback for Spacecom, which owns the Amos series of communications satellites.The Amos 5, the fifth in a series of communications satellites launched by Spacecom, was lost in space in November, and has been spinning aimlessly since. The satellite was plagued with a series of faults since its launch from Kazakhstan in 2011.The explosion is also setback for SpaceX. The California-based company, led by billionaire Elon Musk, had been ramping up with frequent launches to make up for a backlog created by a launch accident in June 2015. SpaceX was leasing the pad from the Air Force for its Falcon launches.The company is also redoing a former shuttle pad at Kennedy for future manned flights for NASA.

Liberman says Israel will obey court order to raze Amona outpost-Defense minister tells students he will comply with ruling, but will also enforce plans to tear down Palestinian village of Susya-By AFP September 1, 2016, 5:12 pm

Israel will carry out a court order to demolish the Jewish settlement of Amona in the West Bank by the end of the year, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said Thursday.However, a proposed plan to simply move the settlement to a nearby location has raised international concern.“I have said before and I say again to the settlers of Amona, there is a judgment of the Supreme Court and we shall honor it,” Liberman said at a Jewish school in Susya in the southern West Bank on the first day of the new school year.Amona, home to about 40 families, was built on lands privately owned by Palestinians, who successfully petitioned Israeli courts for the outpost’s removal.After repeated delays, the Supreme Court ordered the settlers’ eviction and the demolition of their homes by December 25 this year.Last month, Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now said that Liberman’s Defense Ministry was working to transplant Amona residents to confiscated Palestinian land a few meters from the present site, effectively legalizing the rogue outpost.“We proposed a lot of alternatives and I hope we can find an option that the Amona settlers will also accept,” Liberman said on Thursday.The United States has said it is “deeply concerned” by the relocation plan.“This would represent an unprecedented and troubling step that’s inconsistent with prior Israeli legal opinion and counter to longstanding Israeli policy to not seize private Palestinian land for Israeli settlements,” State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said last month.Washington issued a fresh rebuke Wednesday over what it said was Israel’s accelerated settlement building, in the face of mounting international concern.“This significant expansion of the settlement activity poses a serious and growing threat to the viability of a two-state solution,” uS President Barack Obama’s spokesman Josh Earnest said.“We are particularly troubled by the policy of retroactively approving illegal outposts and unauthorized settlements,” Earnest added.Liberman, a hard-liner who himself lives in a West Bank settlement, also said that just as he would obey court orders to tear down Amona he would do the same with regard to unauthorized Palestinian construction in Susya, a tiny Palestinian hamlet Israel says was put up without permission near the settlement where he was addressing schoolchildren Thursday. The Jewish settlement also uses the name Susya.“I think that the world, especially the free world… needs to respect our judicial system and it cannot be that it demands one thing of the Amona settlers and something else regarding what happens in Susya,” he told the pupils, in recorded remarks distributed by his office.He said that he had agreed to postpone demolition at Susya pending examination of alternatives for its approximately 300 residents.“I was asked to come up with a plan and there will be a hearing in the Supreme Court,” he said.“We agreed to postpone a decision on Susya for three months,” he added about the village. “There too we shall search for alternatives and solutions.”The village has been torn down before and its homes are mainly tents, caves and makeshift structures, along with a children’s playground. The United States and European nations have urged Israel not to move ahead with the demolition.Nickolay Mladenov, the UN coordinator for the Middle East peace process, made specific mention of it in a report Monday to the Security Council.“It is sandwiched between a settlement and an outpost,” he said. “The demolition of this community would set a dangerous precedent for displacement.”Liberman told the students the village had recently become a focal point for criticism of Israel.“The place has suddenly become a point of dispute,” Liberman said.“The European Union, the US, I get messages from all over the world. “Everybody has discovered Susya,” he said.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Israelis warned to stay away from restive regions of Ethiopia-Advisory comes amid deadly government crackdown on protests in Amhara and Oromia-By Sue Surkes and AFP September 1, 2016, 5:47 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Israelis were warned against traveling to some parts of Ethiopia Thursday, after clashes broke out between protesters and government forces in several cities.The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem said Israeli travelers should avoid the Amhara and Oromia districts of Ethiopia, including the cities of Gondar, Bahir Dar and Debre Tabor.The ministry also cautioned against traveling within 10 kilometers of the Ethiopian borders with Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan and Kenya.In July, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Ethiopia during a whirwind trip aimed at boosting ties with East Africa.Demonstrations started in Oromia last winter and have sprung up more recently in the Amhara region and the capital Addis Ababa.The Ethiopian government has declared a state of emergency in the Amhara region, one of nine ethnic divisions in the country.Gondar, in the Amhara region, is home to several thousand Falash Mura Jews seeking to move to Israel.In Bahir Dar, activists reported 30 people killed as government forces opened fire on a protest last month, amid a harsh crackdown by Addid Ababa against the demonstrations.“New levels of violence are being reported in the crackdown on the largely peaceful protests that have taken place across Oromia and Amhara regions in recent weeks,” said Hassan Shire, Executive Director of DefendDefenders, according to Amnesty International. “Instead of investigating and holding accountable those responsible for rights violations, the government is jailing the few independent human rights defenders left working in the country.”The government’s decision to join the northern province of Welkait to the Tigray region was the immediate trigger for the Amhara protests, but they have occurred at the same time as others in the Oromia region where regular, sometimes deadly, demonstrations have happened since November over land rights.Together, Oromia and Amhara people make up over 60 percent of the population.The demonstrations are a challenge to the EPRDF’s model of “ethnic federalism” intended to give representation and a degree of self-determination to the multitude of ethnic groups in Ethiopia.“Ethnic federalism is not working because it is not implemented equally,” said Molla Wasie of the opposition Agaw Democratic Party. “Things are getting more and more tense. The government and the opposition should come together and find a solution.”

Scouts probing claim Palestinian branch lauded terrorist-Terror victim’s son demands booting of East Jerusalem chapter that hailed Bahaa Allyan, who helped murder 3 Israelis in October, as ‘leader’-By AFP September 1, 2016, 5:18 pm

The world Scout movement said Thursday it was investigating claims its Palestinian branch held an event in support of a terrorist who murdered three Israelis in a Jerusalem bus attack last October.A Palestinian Scout troop in East Jerusalem is alleged to have held a training course dedicated to Bahaa Allyan, who along with another man shot and stabbed passengers on the bus.Allyan was killed by security forces.“We are definitely investigating and we hope to respond as soon as possible,” Srinath Venugopal, executive director at the World Scout Bureau’s office of the secretary general, told AFP.“Due to the nature of the issue it takes a little time to establish the facts. Please be assured that the World Organization of the Scout Movement is not supportive of any terrorist activities.”He said it was too early to speculate on potential punishments, though the family of one of the victims has called for the Palestinian Scout Association to be expelled.Micah Lakin Avni, whose 76-year-old father Richard Lakin died after being shot and then stabbed on the bus, said he was calling for the “complete removal” of the Palestinian branch from the wider Scouts movement.“I am outraged,” he told AFP. “To name a program after a coldblooded murderer is outrageous. The Scouts are a program all around the world teaching millions of people how to be good citizens and how to treat people with respect,” he said.“This was not an isolated incident or a single leader, it is something that was decided by the leadership.”A spokesperson for the Palestinian Scout Association said they did not yet have a formal response.Allyan’s body was returned by Israel overnight Thursday after being held for 10 months, family members confirmed.There were over 33,000 registered members of the Palestinian Scout Association, according to the World Scout Bureau’s 2014 census.It was only given full voting rights in February.There are 163 national Scout organizations in more than 220 countries and territories across the world, including Israel.

US said to have secretly eased Iran nuclear deal terms-To meet deadline, P5+1 negotiators allowed Tehran to bypass restrictions on uranium and heavy water, report says-By Tamar Pileggi September 1, 2016, 1:07 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The United States and world powers that negotiated last year’s nuclear deal with Iran “secretly” agreed to allow the Islamic Republic to evade a number of the agreement’s restrictions in order to meet the deadline for the lifting of international economic sanctions, Reuters reported Thursday.According to the report, several “knowledgeable” officials involved in the negotiations told the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security that Tehran was permitted to exceed the agreed-upon limits of how much low-enriched uranium could be kept at its nuclear facilities. Low-enriched uranium can be purified into weapons-grade uranium.The institute also said that the P5+1 negotiating powers — the US, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia — also permitted Tehran to ship 50 tons of heavy water from its Arak facility to Oman and keep it there under Iranian supervision.Its president, David Albright, said the “exemptions or loopholes are happening in secret, and it appears that they favor Iran.”P5+1 officials agreed to the terms so that Iran would be in compliance with the agreement by the January 16 deadline to have the sanctions lifted, the report said.An unnamed White House official told Reuters the role of the joint commission of negotiating powers was “not secret,” but declined to specifically address the institute’s assertions on any loopholes.Albright — who served as an inspector with the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency team that investigated former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons program — expressed concern that the exemptions risked setting a precedent for Iran seeking additional waivers.He said a full report detailing the exemptions afforded Tehran by P5+1 negotiators would be published by his institute later on Thursday.Last month, a document obtained by The Associated Press in Vienna revealed that key restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program imposed under the accord will ease in slightly more than a decade, cutting the time Tehran would need to build a bomb to six months or less from present estimates of a year.Iran has insisted it is not interested in nuclear weapons, and the pact is being closely monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA said Tehran has essentially kept to its commitments since the agreement was implemented, a little more than six months after Iran and the six powers finalized it on July 14, 2015.News agencies contributed to this report.

The pencil cases they carried-Not that there was any bigger news, but newspapers play up the start of school as breathlessly as they would a war, and for one Tel Aviv school, it may be akin to that-By Joshua Davidovich September 1, 2016, 3:55 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

There are a few events every year or so that are big enough to be pretty much the only news item covered in a selected day’s print press. Things like wars, elections, large terror attacks, deaths of major figures, and of course, the first day of school. As noted a day earlier, while the return of kids to school may be a run-of-the-mill ritual elsewhere, in Israel, where almost the whole country gets back to hitting the books on the same day, it’s a big friggin’ deal.As usual, papers’ massive coverage of the yearly phenomenon are a mix of played-out clichés, pabulum-filled columns from public figures, context-less statistics and attempts to wring any actual news out of the usually non-newsworthy event.For an idea of what that means, one need look no further than the front page of Israel Hayom, emblazoned with a big ol’ “Good Luck” as its main “headline,” accompanied by a ho-hum picture of a few kids with their backpacks on, giving a thumbs up or peace sign. Yedioth Ahronoth’s front page doesn’t do much better with a “New start” headline, and a picture of some other kids getting ready for school, in front of an obligatory “Shalom Kita Aleph” (Hello First Grade) sign.At least Haaretz makes a bit more of an effort to inject some news into its coverage, leading off with a front page headline (but no front page story) reporting that Israeli high schoolers are doing worse on reading and writing than math, even though the Education Ministry has decided that low math scores are the biggest problem. It’s probably not a coincidence that just below the headline on the front page is a picture of the only kids not returning to school Thursday — a group of some 150 ultra-Orthodox youths whose school does not officially start until after the fall holidays, but who have spent most of the summer learning anyway — given that the lowest matriculation scores occur among their community, where secular studies are shunned.Educators quoted by the paper, though, point to the low scores as a result of socioeconomic gaps in poorer towns in outlying areas.“This is the picture of the divisions in Israeli society and between the center and the periphery,” a test evaluator is quoted saying. “There’s a class with an average [test score] of 90, and then exams with inarticulate language, spelling and syntax mistakes, and you wonder if the students come from the same education system.”Things are much sunnier in the tabloids, though, which are festooned with (likely staged) pictures of happy kids trundling off to class and little in the way of anything interesting to report. Both Education Minister Naftali Bennett and President Reuven Rivlin do double duty, penning (or having ghost-penned for them) two separate columns to go in each tabloid, though neither has much exciting to say.“As in every year, the first day of school is especially celebratory. It’s filled with a lot of emotions, mixing fears with hopes and sadness over the end of vacation with happiness to meet friends in class again,” Rivlin writes in Israel Hayom, continuing the theme of tribal divisions in Israel that need to be bridged that he has made a centerpiece of his presidency. “The kids marching this morning to school, to their first day in class or kindergarten, are the future of our society. They are walking different paths, but the feelings of the first day is an experience shared by all.”As if Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich saying earlier this week that all immigrants are criminal suspects wasn’t enough, in Yedioth, Naftali Bennett blames his American immigrant parents for his bad grades in school, saying they spoke to him in English, which gave him trouble in classes, but he was saved by a drama teacher who took a special interest in him and challenged him.“From my year of experience [as education minister] and many memories from school, I understand that that’s the essence of education,” he writes, as if composing a college essay. “The personal touch, the teacher’s ability to identify strengths of a student and build on them. To give him confidence in his abilities and to grant him the values of giving, love of the land and of the people, patience and friendship. That’s what I see. Personal education.”Dastardly immigrants also play a central role in the only thing that can be considered a big news story connecting to the first day of school, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai went “head to head” (in the tabloids’ words) over a school in south Tel Aviv.According to Haaretz, the tussle started with Netanyahu’s call for a school in the neighborhood to remain open for children of Russian-speaking immigrants from all over the region, instead of being converted into a school for local “infiltrators” (in Netanyahu’s words) or “east-African asylum-seekers” in (Haaretz’s words), which the city is pushing for.It’s not like south Tel Aviv loves its asylum-seekers and wants to help, though, as much as that it’s angry over the fact that Netanyahu hasn’t deported them yet or dealt with them in some other way.“Haaretz has learned that the decision by municipal officials to convert Shevah Mofet, which is located in a neighborhood with a large number of foreign migrants, is being pursued to avoid building a school for the migrants’ children in Levinsky Park near the city’s central bus station, the nerve center of Israel’s community of foreign nationals,” the paper reports, without any sourcing. “The plan at the park called for construction of an elementary school and a high school, each with 18 classrooms, but it would have been built on an area consisting of about half the current area of the park.”Perhaps ignoring the fact that the school doesn’t serve locals, in Yedioth, Ben Dror Yemini tries to explain that the fight over the school is part of a larger story of what is happening in the working-class neighborhood, where already poor Israelis complain of being overlooked in favor of the many African migrants who have made the area their new home.“Now city hall is planning an internal educational assassination, the Shevah Mofat school, in order to take in the children of asylum-seekers. This is another milestone on the path of the debasement of area residents. Every school in the area which is not religious is being turned immediately into a school for asylum-seekers,” he writes. “There’s no need to abandon the kids of migrants. We were sojourners in a strange land. The problem is that the result is a blow to equality — when the personal price is only being paid by residents of the south, the gaps grow and the chances of real education are killed.”
