Diplomatic spat between India and Pakistan worsens amid border tensions-[Reuters]-By Syed Raza Hassan and Douglas Busvine-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Pakistan may expel five Indian diplomats for espionage and has revealed their names, local media said on Wednesday, a move sure to exacerbate a rift between the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors that has been widening for months.Pakistan declined to comment on the matter ahead of a planned news conference on Thursday, while India said the identity of eight of its diplomats had been revealed by Pakistani media.Vikas Swarup, spokesman of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, declined to comment when asked whether the eight diplomats stationed in Islamabad would be withdrawn.Swarup also said six Pakistani diplomats had left the Indian capital on Wednesday but said they had not been expelled.Last week India ordered one employee of the Pakistani embassy, known as a High Commission, to leave the country on suspicion of espionage, triggering the expulsion of one of its own envoys by Islamabad.The diplomatic spat comes after months of sharply deteriorating relations that began with civil unrest in Indian-controlled Kashmir and Pakistan's global lobbying against New Delhi's crackdown on the Kashmiri activists.In September a group of gunmen killed 19 Indian soldiers at an army camp in Kashmir, an attack India blamed on Pakistan-based militants.India said it had carried out "surgical strikes" inside Pakistan as retribution, but Islamabad denied they even took place and accused New Delhi of fabrication to distract attention from its crackdown on the protests in the part of Kashmir it controls.Artillery duels and skirmishing along the disputed frontier that runs through Kashmir have escalated in recent days, leading India to summon the Pakistani deputy high commissioner on Wednesday to express its "grave concern and strong protest".In a statement, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs accused Pakistan of violations of a 2003 ceasefire that have caused several fatalities and injuries among its civilians and security forces.New Delhi also protested against the alleged mutilation of the body of an Indian soldier by an attacker who escaped across the Line of Control after "committing this heinous crime".Both sides typically refute the other's version of events. On Wednesday the press wing of the Pakistani military said India had committed 178 ceasesfire violations this year, killing 19 civilians and injuring 80 more.(Writing by Drazen Jorgic and Douglas Busvine; Editing by Gareth Jones)

Syria rebels reject Russian demand to withdraw from Aleppo - rebel official-[Reuters]-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian rebels on Wednesday rejected Russian demands that they withdraw from Aleppo by Friday evening, an official in one insurgent faction said."This is completely out of the question. We will not give up the city of Aleppo to the Russians and we won't surrender," Zakaria Malahifji of the Fastaqim rebel group told Reuters.Russia's defence ministry said rebels and civilians would be allowed to leave the eastern opposition-held part of Aleppo and signalled it would extend a moratorium on air strikes inside the city.However, Malahifji said there were no safe exit corridors, as Russia had stated."It's not true. Civilians and fighters are not leaving. Civilians are afraid of the regime, they don't trust it. And the fighters are not surrendering," he said.(Reporting by John Davison; Editing by Louise Ireland)

Italian earthquakes reshape region, lower land-[Reuters]-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

ROME (Reuters) - A series of earthquakes that rocked central Italy last week reshaped more than 600 square km (230 square miles) of land, lowering areas around the epicenter by up to 70 cm (28 inches), according to data released on Monday.Earthquakes measuring 5.5 and 6.1 hit the area on Oct. 26, followed by a 6.6 magnitude quake on Oct. 30, the biggest tremor to strike Italy for 36 years.Although no one died in the multiple quakes, dozens of buildings collapsed and Italy's National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said satellite data showed significant changes to the surrounding land formation.The INGV said territory around the town of Castelluccio di Norcia, which is famous for its lentils, bore the brunt of the tremor, with huge horizontal scars opening up on the surrounding mountains and land levels collapsing by up to 70 cm.Much of the town is now out of bounds with approach roads ripped up by the force of the quakes.The area was hit by an initial earthquake on Aug. 24, which killed 300 people most of them in the nearby town of Amatrice. Since then, the INGV said some 21,600 aftershocks had battered the region, driving most residents from their homes.(Reporting by Crispian Balmer; Editing by Alison Williams)

1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE

28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GENESIS 2:21-24
21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

MATTHEW 19:4-6
4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Unconventional Panel: Is it hateful not to use gender-neutral pronouns?-[CBC]-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

The debate over political correctness in the classroom is brewing across Alberta and Canada.A University of Toronto professor is being accused of hate speech for refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns — such as "ze" or "zu" on campus — saying they are not part of the English language.And a recent internal document from the Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) suggests teachers should refer to students as "comrades" rather than girls and boys to be more inclusive.- As attitudes towards gender shift, should our language too? Leave your comments below.That was the question debated by this week's Unconventional Panel — George Brookman, Anila Lee Yuen and Shelley Youngblut. The following is an edited version of their conversation on the Calgary Eyeopener.Is it hateful to refuse to use genderless pronouns? George: "You can wake up every single day and decide if you want to be offended or not," said the CEO of West Canadian Industries."We're losing our minds in this country. Calling someone a 'she' or a 'he' is not a hate speech."Anila: "It is if it is not how they identify."George: "Gimme a break. This world has bigger issues than this to deal with."Should teachers call their students 'comrades' to be more inclusive? Shelley: "The whole thing around this is just learning and just opening up the conversation and giving us some parameters," said the general director of Wordfest."Just because someone identifies as neither boy nor girl, neither blue nor pink, doesn't in anyway hurt people who do."Anila: "Our language evolves. When we don't have a word, we borrow it from another language. Like entrepreneur or boondocks — we say people are from the boonies or I live in the boonies and that's from the Philippines ... so it's about evolving our language," said the CEO for the Centre for Newcomers-George: "No question. And our society is evolving and we are far more tolerant than my parents were — and that's the way we should be. But this idea that ... somebody's going to get sued or lose their job because they're referring to someone as he or she, it's insanity. We're losing our minds."With files from the Calgary Eyeopener.

Murder convictions to stand for Shafia trio who killed four family members-[The Canadian Press]-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

TORONTO — A father, mother and son found guilty in the drowning deaths of three teenaged sisters and another woman who had apparently shamed the family lost their bid Wednesday to overturn their first-degree murder convictions.In unanimously rejecting an appeal by the Shafia family members, Ontario's top court ruled among things that expert evidence on so-called honour killings had been properly admitted at their trial and the son was properly tried as an adult."Honour was a recurrent theme of discussions among the appellants after the deaths of the deceased," the Court of Appeal for Ontario said in its decision.Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya, and their son Hamed Shafia — immigrants originally from Afghanistan — were jointly convicted of murder in 2012.They were arrested three weeks after the victims — Zainab Shafia, 19, Sahar Shafia, Geeti Shafia, 13, and Rona Amir Mohammad, 58 — were found in a submerged car at the Kingston Mills locks near Kingston, Ont. Autopsies found they had drowned.At trial, the accused argued unsuccessfully that the deaths were accidental. Despite a lack of eyewitness testimony, the prosecution maintained the deaths were planned and deliberate, even if the exact role each accused played was unclear.Evidence heard at trial included various statements the accused made before and after the deaths.For example, on police-installed listening devices, Mohammad Shafia was heard making derogatory comments about his daughters for dating, and accused them of shaming the family with their behaviour. He also referred to them as "whores.""We lost our honour," Shafia said at one point. "They betrayed us immensely. They violated us immensely. There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this."A key prosecution witness was Shahzrad Mojab, a professor at the University of Toronto and an expert on honour killings. Among five grounds raised on appeal, the Shafias argued that allowing her evidence was prejudicial.Writing for the Appeal Court, Justice David Watt said Mojab's testimony was essential to the jury's ability to understand and evaluate other key evidence.Shafia, Watt said, repeatedly voiced his displeasure about how his dead daughters had dishonoured the family."The notion of honour and of killing another person motivated by besmirched honour originated with Shafia, not with Dr. Mojab," Watt said. "Recall Shafia's diatribe about the importance of honour."Hamed Shafia also argued for the first time on appeal that he was too young to be tried as an adult and should have been tried separately.However, various documents the family used before and after immigrating to Canada in 2007 noted his date of birth as Dec. 31, 1990, which made him 18 when his sisters died. He argued new evidence showed he was actually 17 at the time, saying an ID issued by the Afghanistan government and other documents supported his contention.The Appeal Court found no reason to allow the evidence, which it said was not compelling, and that doing so would not serve the interests of justice."When the deceased were killed, Hamed was not a 'young person'," the court concluded. "He was an adult, properly joined with his parents in a joint trial."Mohammad Shafia, a successful businessman, married Yahya in Afghanistan in 1988. Rona Amir, his first wife, could not have children but was close to the girls, who knew her as an aunt.The Appeal Court rejected Yahya's claims the trial judge made legal errors in characterizing her involvement in the killings when charging the jury."Charitably put, the evidence of guilt was overwhelming," Watt said.Colin Perkel, The Canadian Press

Merkel accuses Syrian government of 'crimes against humanity'-[Reuters]-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday accused Syrian government troops of committing "crimes against humanity" that could not be overlooked.Human rights groups and Western countries have previously accused Syria's army, backed by Russia's air force, of targeting hospitals, bakeries and other civilian areas when bombarding rebel areas, including eastern Aleppo."The use of barrel bombs and incendiary bombs, and even chemical weapons, is not being shied away from," Merkel said as she received the Seoul Peace Prize in Berlin."The civilian population is being starved, medical institutes are being attacked, doctors are dying and hospitals are being destroyed," she said, adding that not even United Nations aid convoys were safe from bombardment."These are serious crimes against humanity. We mustn't overlook that," Merkel said.On Tuesday, a U.N. human rights spokeswoman said all sides fighting over the Syrian city of Aleppo may be committing war crimes through indiscriminate attacks in civilian areas.The U.N. Human Rights Council said late last month it would identify the perpetrators of war crimes in Aleppo, and it launched a special inquiry into the use of starvation and air strikes there.Merkel also urged Europeans to think about crises further afield. On North Korea's nuclear program and tensions in the East and South China Sea, she said: "Everyone involved has a duty to stick to the internationally agreed rules and to cooperate."(Reporting by Andreas Rinke; Writing by Michelle Martin; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Ukraine rebuilds navy, with U.S. help, to counter Russian build-up in Crimea-[Reuters]-By Margaryta Chornokondratenko-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine is refitting and expanding its naval fleet, including repairing its flagship, the frigate "Hetman Sahaydachnyy", to counter a Russian military build-up in the annexed territory of Crimea, the commander of the Ukrainian navy says.The upgrade will be helped by $30 million worth of U.S. aid, part of a $500 million package from Washington for the Ukrainian military which Kiev expects to receive next year."Step by step we will rebuild our fleet from the beginning," Vice Admiral Ihor Voronchenko told Reuters in an interview."Our capacities in terms of quality will be better that the ones which remained in Crimea."Ukraine lost two-thirds of its fleet, which had been mostly based in Sevastopol, when Russia seized Crimea from Kiev in 2014. Since then it has fought Russian-backed separatists in the Donbass region in a war that has killed nearly 10,000 people.Before the Russian annexation, Moscow leased facilities from the Ukrainian state to house its Black Sea Fleet, which has been based in Crimea for more than two centuries. Those facilities, mainly around Sevastopol, are now being expanded.Russia has started a programme to militarise Crimea, including resurrecting Soviet-built facilities, building new bases and stationing soldiers there, according to a Reuters Special Report.When Russia seized Crimea, Ukraine stopped the "Hetman Sahaydachnyy", the landing ship "Yuriy Olifirenko", the missile boat "Pryluky" and some gunboats from falling into Russian hands."We just started repairing works at our flagship," Voronchenko said.Two new gunboats are almost ready for service "and I am sure we will receive four more boats in July next year," he said.The navy also plans to have a new Corvette warship and a new missile boat by 2020.Other measures by Ukraine to beef up its defence include raising the level of training for navy personnel and creating new units of coastal defence troops. Part of the training is being carried out in NATO member countries Italy, France and Britain.Voronchenko said Russia was planning to turn Crimea into a "military base", installing three submarine boats, new frigates and more airborne facilities. He also said that Russian ships were experiencing technical problems."We have information, we conduct surveillance. I cannot tell you everything," he said. "But we can counter-attack all their hostile intentions. They also have problems in resources."Sergei Zgurets, Director for the Defense Express consultancy, said Ukraine's naval capacity was low and its airforce and artillery were still therefore the main defence against an attack from the sea."So we will fight against the enemy's navy forces using land and air forces," Zgurets said.Voronchenko will meet the navy chief of Romania, a European Union and NATO member, on Nov 23 to discuss possible joint actions in the Black Sea in case of Russian aggression.Relations between Ukraine and Russia deteriorated after Kremlin-backed President Viktor Yanukovich was ousted by street protests in February 2014, which lit the fuse for the annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of separatist fighting elsewhere.(Writing by Matthias Williams; Editing by Angus MacSwan)

France moves Calais child migrants, says Britain to take hundreds more-[Reuters]-By Pascal Rossignol-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

CALAIS, France (Reuters) - France moved more than 1,600 child migrants from the site of a demolished camp to reception centres across the country on Wednesday, and said Britain would be giving refuge to several hundred of them.French authorities transferred more than 5,000 other migrants last week before bulldozers moved in to raze the sprawl of ramshackle shacks and tents nicknamed the "Jungle" by its inhabitants.But hundreds of unaccompanied children were left behind. They have been sheltered in converted shipping containers on a site on the edge of the flattened camp as France and Britain squabbled over who should take them in.Many of them teenagers from war-ravaged Afghanistan and Sudan's Darfur region, they bade farewell to companions and charity workers before boarding awaiting buses.The children's plight triggered a diplomatic row between Paris and London, with tensions intensifying in recent days after President Francois Hollande pressed Britain to accept its share of responsibility for the minors.British officials demanded France take better care of them.Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told parliament that Britain had agreed in negotiations to take in "several hundred" of the child migrants. An interior ministry source said these were on top of the more than 300 minors Britain had taken in between Oct. 10 and last week's operation to dismantle the camp."The challenge now is to implement the terms of the agreement we concluded with the British," Cazeneuve said.-"INHUMANE CONDITIONS"-A spokesman for the Pas-de-Calais region said 1,616 children were moved out on Wednesday. Many had been desperate to reach Britain, which lies tantalisingly close across a narrow stretch of sea, saying they have relatives there."We don't want to go to the bus, we want to go to England only. England, no France," said one Afghan teenager.European Union rules say Britain must take in unaccompanied children who have family ties. Britain has also made a wider commitment to taking in vulnerable migrant children under the so-called Dubs amendment passed in parliament this year.David Jones, junior minister in charge of Britain's exit from the EU, told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday that there had been a pause in the process of admitting children while the camp was closed."We anticipate that that will recommence later this week," the minister said.The United Nations' Committee on the Rights of the Child criticised both governments for disregarding the child migrants' best interests."Hundreds of children have been subjected to inhumane living conditions," the committee said in a statement.Faced with an uncertain future, the child migrants received coloured bracelets marked with the number of the bus they would be travelling on but no choice over its destination.Dozens of British Home (Interior) Office officials, including Border Force staff, were in Calais on Wednesday and will visit the 60 temporary housing centres dedicated to unaccompanied children to assess their asylum requests.The Calais camp came to symbolise Europe's fraught efforts to cope with a record influx of migrants fleeing war and poverty in Asia, the Middle East and Africa.Hollande this week promised Calais residents the migrants would not return, and on Wednesday the prefect of the Pas-de Calais region said even the container park would be dismantled.Charity workers criticised the plans to remove the shipping container site."We fear many of the adolescents will come back to Calais. How will the state look after them? Will they be left to sleep in the street?," said Christian Salome, head of the Auberge des Migrants charity.(Additional reporting by Matthias Blamont and Brian Love in Paris, Tom Miles in Geneva and William James in London; Writing by Richard Lough Editing by Jeremy Gaunt)

Canada's top diplomat to press Saudis on jailed blogger-[AFP]-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Ottawa (AFP) - Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion will press Saudi Arabia's chief human rights official on jailed Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, his office said Wednesday.The foreign ministry said Dion would speak on Thursday with visiting Saudi Human Rights Commission president Bandar Bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, about "a full range of human rights issues, including the case of Saudi blogger Raif Badawi.""It is through engagement and frank dialogue that universal human rights may progress in the world, including in Saudi Arabia," Dion said in a statement.Badawi's wife Ensaf Haidar has lived in Canada as a refugee with their three children since her husband's arrest in 2012 and conviction for insulting Islam.He is serving 10 years in jail and has received 50 lashes of a 1,000-lash sentence that caused international outrage.Dion and Al-Aiban are scheduled to also participate in a round table on human rights.On Wednesday, Al-Aiban was to sit down with Canada's International Development Minister Marie-Claude-Bibeau and Minister of Status of Women Patty Hajdu and talk about "the importance of women and girls as powerful agents for change."

AL-KHAZER, Iraq (Reuters) - Whenever members of Islamic State's Mosul vice squad find a woman without gloves, they pull out a pair of pliers.What follows is just one of a wide range of punishments that the group - known in Arabic by its enemies as Daesh - metes out in its northern Iraqi stronghold."Daesh would squeeze the pliers on the skin of the woman hard," said Firdos, a 15-year-old girl who has fled from the city in the last week.Firdos managed to escape such treatment herself, but she told Reuters that Islamic State has more ways of enforcing one of the many rules of its moral code - that women must not show their bare hands in public."The other penalty was we (women) would be whipped for not wearing gloves," Firdos said in Al-Khazer, a town taken by Kurdish forces as part of an Iraqi offensive to regain Mosul.She, like others who have fled Islamic State's grip, declined to give her last name for fear of reprisals against relatives still in Mosul, about 27 km (17 miles) away.When Islamic State captured Iraq's second largest city in 2014, it promised that anyone who joined the Sunni militants' cause would eventually earn a place in paradise.It also told the people of predominantly Sunni Mosul it would eliminate Nuri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite who was then Iraqi prime minister and widely accused of sectarian policies.This message appealed to some Sunnis, members of a minority which had dominated before the fall of dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003 and who now complain they are marginalized by the government led by the majority Shi'ites.But residents who have recently fled Islamic State's last stronghold in Iraq say life quickly became unbearable in the city of about two million.Men had to wear beards to lengths it saw as Islamic. Women had to cover up from head to toe. Sometimes their husbands would be whipped in their place for violations.No one was allowed to leave Mosul without special permission and former residents said they feared being shot if they were caught trying to escape.-REPUBLIC OF FEAR-None of the people interviewed by Reuters said they had seen public executions by shooting or beheadings, Islamic State's favorite method of creating mass terror.But everyone knew they took place because the jihadists spread the word. This appeared to be straight out of the handbook of the "Republic of Fear", Saddam's former state built on cruelty, retribution and extreme violence.More than a decade after Saddam's overthrow by the U.S.-led invasion, some of his former intelligence officers are senior members and strategists for Islamic State, according to Iraqi security officials.Every Friday, the militants force people to go to mosques in Mosul to hear their sermons. Two years ago, Islamic State's chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared himself the leader of all Muslims from a pulpit in the city, and the sermons remind residents that his words are sacred.Islamic State also uses mosques to urge people to take up their cause and strike against what it called all enemies of Islam; from Maliki and his fellow Shi'ites to other Arab leaders, Israel and the United States.Anyone who agreed to wage holy war was sent for training in neighboring Syria, part of its self-declared caliphate."I spoke to several people who went to Syria. They learned about strapping on suicide belts and beheading people," said Abdul Kadir, one of the escapees who are sheltering in tents at a camp in Al-Khazer."They were there for three months or so. Some were young. Ten-year-old boys. Some were 15. Some of these people rejected all this but they had to pretend they supported Daesh or face consequences."Late one night, Islamic State raided his home, blindfolded him and threw him into a prison once run by Saddam's security forces. After four days he appeared in a courtroom overflowing with detainees. His crime was trying to make ends meet by selling cigarettes.The Islamic State judge showed no compassion."He asked me why I sell cigarettes. He said they are against Islam. I told him I was desperate to make a living because there were no jobs," said Abdul Kadir, who was kept blindfolded throughout his ordeal."He said 'take him away and whip him 55 times'. It was with a leather whip ... I could not get out of bed for three days."-ONCE DIVERSE CITY-Life under Islamic State was a far cry from the past, when communities lived side-by-side in the diverse trading city of Mosul. Besides the Sunni Arab majority, it had a large number of Christians, predominantly Assyrians. Kurds, Turkmens, Yazidis and Armenians made up the rest of the population. Most of the minority communities have fled.Islamic State demolished shrines, mosques and churches and posted images of the destruction on internet sites.Along with the terror came growing hardship. Many people lost their jobs as the local economy deteriorated.Suleiman, 62, told Reuters he was at work when Islamic State arrived in Mosul. Returning to his neighborhood, he came face-to-face with militants dressed in traditional Pakistani clothes - a reminder of the group's ability to recruit far and wide.Soon, he was struggling to survive financially. "The money ran out eventually for a lot of people. Yet Daesh was squeezing everyone. You used to pay 500 dinars for a medical card. With them it was 2,000," he said."The doctors charged a lot and the money went to them. Or they would tell you to give to charity under Islam and then gave the money to their relatives."Like many others, Suleiman was caught up in the struggle that pitted the militants against the Iraqi army and its Western allies. An airstrike hit his home but Islamic State offered little compensation. "My house collapsed and all they offered me was 30 kg of wheat," he said.A few tents away, Sahar Abed said she wanted to forget the hardship. "People were selling their cans of gasoline. I had to sell some of my clothes," she said, as an aid worker took down names of the displaced.Iraqi and Kurdish officials say that some Mosul residents have taken up arms against Islamic State recently, driven by discontent and encouraged by the advance of Iraqi forces, who have taken nearby villages and reached a section of Mosul.History suggests the militants will respond to any discontent with brutality, especially after losing control of the cities of Falluja and Ramadi this year.They have rigged Mosul with explosives and built elaborate tunnels, all of which could slow advances, leaving the population at their mercy."About a week ago we heard shooting at two in the morning. It was people who killed jihadists," said Abu Said, also displaced at the camp."In these situations Daesh rounds a bunch of people up and makes an example out of them. They took people from their homes and made them watch two men lying on their stomach in the street while a car ran them over."(editing by David Stamp)

Clinton and Trump's tightening race causes market jitters-[Reuters]-By Amanda Becker and Emily Stephenson-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla./MIAMI (Reuters) - As Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump pushed their closing arguments ahead of next week's U.S. presidential election, financial markets were rattled on Wednesday by opinion polls showing a tightening White House race.While most national polls still favour Clinton to win, she has lost the comfortable lead she held late last month and investors are starting to factor in the possibility that the New York businessman might pull off a victory on Nov. 8.World stocks, the dollar and oil fell on Wednesday, while safe-haven assets such as gold and the Swiss franc rose as investors showed nerves over the tightening race."The lead up to the U.S. presidential election was always expected to be lively but the events of the last couple of days have seriously taken their toll on investor sentiment," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda foreign exchange company in London.Investor anxiety has deepened in recent sessions over a possible Trump victory given uncertainty about his stance on issues including foreign policy, trade relations and immigrants. Clinton is viewed by markets as a candidate of the status quo.Trump, who has never previously run for elected office, has run an unorthodox campaign, with policy proposals including reviewing trade pacts such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and building a wall along the border with Mexico.Currency traders have sold the dollar this week in part because they suspect Trump would prefer a weaker dollar given his protectionist stance on international trade, and in part because the uncertainty surrounding a Trump win might lead to a more dovish stance from the Fed in the months ahead.A Reuters equity market poll last month showed a majority of forecasters predicted that U.S. stocks would perform better under a Clinton presidency than a Trump administration.U.S. stocks were also lower on Wednesday afternoon after the Federal Reserve, in its last policy decision before the election, kept interest rates unchanged but signalled it could hike in December.Clinton's narrowing lead over Trump since early last week could include negative fallout from the re-emergence of a controversy over her use of a private email server, instead of a government one, when she was U.S. secretary of state.An average of polls compiled by the RealClearPolitics website showed Clinton just 1.7 percent ahead of Trump nationally on Wednesday, with 47 percent support to his 45.3 percent.Clinton's position is stronger than national polls imply given that the race is decided by the Electoral College system of tallying wins from the states. Some 270 electoral votes are needed to win and Democrats have a built-in advantage, with large states such as California and New York traditionally voting Democratic.Clinton looked likely to win at least 226 electoral votes, leaving her needing 44 votes to pick up from the 132 votes at stake in "toss-up" states such as Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, according to estimates by RealClearPolitics on Wednesday afternoon.Trump, on the other hand, has a steeper path to climb, looking likely to win 180 electoral votes and so needing 90 of the 132 votes from the current battleground states, the website showed.Both candidates are focussing their final campaign efforts on those crucial states.-FOCUS ON BATTLEGROUNDS-Clinton has been spending a lot of time in Florida, which yields a rich haul of 29 electoral votes. In a tight race there, the RealClearPolitics average of polls from Florida put Trump one point ahead of Clinton on Wednesday."No state is more important, and it's close," a Clinton aide told reporters on Tuesday. "It's a state that Trump has to win ... we don't believe he has any path without Florida."Clinton's campaign says it has always expected a close race, and for polls to tighten further in its final days, independent of the announcement last Friday of a renewed FBI review of emails that might pertain to her use of a private email server.On Wednesday and Thursday, Clinton was set to campaign in Nevada, a swing state, and Arizona, a traditional Republican stronghold that the campaign believes Clinton can win this year.Trump, holding events in Florida on Wednesday, told a rally in Miami he was winning in opinion polls in the state but urged the crowd to act as though he was behind. “Don’t believe it, don’t believe it get out there and vote. Pretend we’re slightly behind,” Trump said.Trump hit many of the same themes he has hammered all week, saying Clinton is dishonest and would be swamped by investigations if she won the White House.His closing argument includes promises to roll back regulation, beef up immigration rules and root out wrongdoing in Washington by cracking down on lobbying.On Tuesday, he used the first day of the annual sign-up period for coverage under the Affordable Care Act to criticise President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, vowing that if elected he would ask lawmakers to start working on a plan to replace it even before the Jan. 20 inauguration.Obama, an energetic campaigner for Clinton, defended her and criticized the FBI announcement on new emails in an interview aired on Wednesday.(Additional reporting by Doina Chiacu in Washington, Jamie McGeever in London, Saqib Iqbal Ahmed in New York; Writing by Frances Kerry; Editing by Alistair Bell)

U.S. militia girds for trouble as presidential election nears-[Reuters]-By Justin Mitchell and Andy Sullivan-November 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS

JACKSON, Ga. (Reuters) - Down a Georgia country road, camouflaged members of the Three Percent Security Force have mobilized for rifle practice, hand-to-hand combat training -- and an impromptu campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump."How many people are voting for Trump? Ooh-rah!" asks Chris Hill, a paralegal who goes by the code name "Bloodagent.""Ooh-rah!" shout a dozen militia members in response, as morning sunlight sifted through the trees last weekend.As the most divisive presidential election in recent memory nears its conclusion, some armed militia groups are preparing for the possibility of a stolen election on Nov. 8 and civil unrest in the days following a victory by Democrat Hillary Clinton.They say they won't fire the first shot, but they're not planning to leave their guns at home, either.Trump's populist campaign has energized militia members like Hill, who admire the Republican mogul's promise to deport illegal immigrants, stop Muslims from entering the country and build a wall along the Mexico border. Trump has repeatedly warned that the election may be "rigged," and has said he may not respect the results if he does not win. At least one paramilitary group, the Oath Keepers, has called on members to monitor voting sites for signs of fraud-Armed paramilitary groups first gained prominence in the early 1990s, fuelled by confrontations in Ruby Ridge, Idaho and Waco, Texas, culminating in a militia sympathizer's 1995 bombing of a federal office building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people.Their numbers dwindled following that attack but have spiked in recent years, driven by fears that President Barack Obama will threaten gun ownership and erode the power of local government. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, estimates there were 276 active militias last year, up from 42 in 2008.In recent years, armed groups have confronted federal authorities in a series of land-use disputes in the western United States. Federal officials fear more clashes could come after seven militants were acquitted on conspiracy charges for occupying a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon.Many fear Clinton would push the county further to the left."This is the last chance to save America from ruin," Hill said. "I'm surprised I was able to survive or suffer through eight years of Obama without literally going insane, but Hillary is going to be more of the same."-EXTREMIST GROUPS EMBOLDENED-The Oath Keepers, a prominent anti-government force that sent gun-toting members to the 2014 race riots in Ferguson, Missouri, called on members last week to monitor voting sites on election day for any signs of fraud.An hour south of Atlanta, the Three Percent Security Force started the day around the campfire, taking turns shooting automatic pistols and rifles at a makeshift target range. They whooped with approval when blasts from one member's high-powered rifle knocked down a tree.The group operates independently, but is affiliated with a national armed movement that calls for members to defend individual rights in the face of what they see as an overreaching federal government. The movement draws its name from the notion that no more than 3 percent of the American population fought in the Revolutionary War against Britain.Amid the war games, Hill weighed plans for a possible armed march on Washington if Clinton wins.He said he doesn't want his members leading the way, but they will defend the protesters if need be. His group will not hesitate to act if a President Clinton tries to disarm gun owners, he said."I will be there to render assistance to my fellow countrymen, and prevent them from being disarmed, and I will fight and I will kill and I may die in the process," said Hill, who founded the militia several years ago.Trump's candidacy has emboldened extremist groups to speak more openly about challenging the rule of law, said Ryan Lenz, a researcher at the Southern Poverty Law Center."Prior to this campaign season, these ideas were relegated to sort of the political fringe of the American political landscape," he said. "Now these ideas are legitimised."Over the past week, some prominent Trump supporters have hinted at violence."If Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket," former Illinois Representative Joe Walsh wrote on Twitter last week. Conservative commentator Wayne Root fantasised about Clinton's death while speaking at a Trump rally in Las Vegas on Sunday.Back in Georgia, the Three Percent Security Force wrapped up rifle practice in the midday sun. They then headed further into the trees to tackle an obstacle course with loaded pistols at their sides, ready for whatever may come."We've building up for this, just like the Marines," he said. "We are going to really train harder and try to increase our operational capabilities in the event that this is the day that we hoped would never come."(Editing by Stuart Grudgings)

Holy plea-Trump sends handwritten note for Western Wall-Candidate asks, ‘Lord. May you bless the United States, our armed forces and our allies’-By JTA and Times of Israel staff October 30, 2016, 10:57 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump wrote a note to be placed in the Western Wall.The note, which was handwritten, was given to one of Trump’s advisers to be delivered to the wall.The note, which was photographed by Trump’s staff and sent to the Israeli Hebrew-language daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, reads:”Lord. May you bless the United States, our armed forces and our allies. May your guiding hand protect and strengthen our great nation.”According to Ynet, Trump wrote the note following a conversation with his daughter, Ivanka, who is Jewish.Worshipers traditionally push notes into the crevices of the Western Wall, a former holding wall for the Second Temple and the last part of the Temple that still stands. The Temple Mount is Judaism’s holiest spot.

Original limestone bed’ on which Jesus was buried said uncovered-Research team claims extraordinary discovery was made as they completed first work in centuries in cave revered as Jesus’s tomb at Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre-By Ilan Ben Zion October 31, 2016, 2:35 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Conservationists working at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem claim to have found the original limestone bed on which Jesus was laid to rest.The dramatic discovery was reported by National Geographic, which has been partnering with a team of experts working at the church, the holiest place in Christendom as the traditional site of Jesus’s crucifixion and burial.Restoration work at the church has been ongoing since the spring, but from last Wednesday to Saturday, researchers from the National Technical University of Athens, leading a team of dozens of workers, were allowed by the various church authorities to do 60 hours of work in what is traditionally believed to be Jesus’s tomb.They removed the marble slab that has sat atop the tomb for centuries, and worked feverishly to expose what lay beneath.“When the marble cladding was first removed on the night of October 26, an initial inspection… showed only a layer of fill material underneath,” National Geographic reported. “However, as researchers continued their non-stop work over the course of 60 hours, another marble slab with a cross carved into its surface was exposed. By Friday night, just hours before the tomb was to be re-sealed, the original limestone burial bed was revealed intact.”Martin Biddle, an expert on the history of the tomb, said scholars would now have to carefully examine the data that was collected when the burial bed and cave walls were exposed to definitively establish a connection to Jesus. “The surfaces of the rock must be looked at with the greatest care, I mean minutely, for traces of graffiti,” Biddle told National Geographic. “Why did [the 4th century historian] Bishop Eusebius identify this tomb as the tomb of Christ? He doesn’t say, and we don’t know,” said Biddle. “I don’t myself think Eusebius got it wrong — he was a very good scholar — so there probably is evidence if only it is looked for.”The Greek team, which has now resealed the chamber, has said it collected considerable documentation at the site, and does indeed intend to conduct extensive tests on what it found there.The Greek team entered the revered spot last week as part of the project to renovate and preserve the 18th century Edicule, or small building, which contains the ancient tomb.Historians long believed the original remnants of the tomb had been destroyed over the centuries. The original church that sat atop the traditional site of Jesus’s burial was demolished in 1009, nearly a century before the commencement of the First Crusade in 1099.The Fatimid caliph of Egypt ordered the governor of Ramle to destroy the church, and a Christian chronicler from Antioch wrote that the Arabs “attempted to remove the Holy Sepulchre and to cause all trace of it to disappear… [and] broke and demolished the greater part of it.”But to what the archaeologists said was their surprise, they established that remnants of the cave survived.Moving aside the top marble slab above the tomb on Wednesday for the first time since the Edicule was built, they found a second slab, gray and featuring a small etching of a cross, said to date to the 12th century, the Associated Press’s Daniel Estrin reported on Thursday.After removing the gray marble slab, they exposed part of the cave wall.“This is the Holy Rock that has been revered for centuries, but only now can actually be seen,” Antonia Moropoulou, head of the conservation and restoration project, told the magazine.“I’m absolutely amazed. My knees are shaking a little bit because I wasn’t expecting this,” added Fredrik Hiebert, National Geographic’s archaeologist-in-residence. “We can’t say 100 percent, but it appears to be visible proof that the location of the tomb has not shifted through time, something that scientists and historians have wondered for decades.”The magazine noted that while it was impossible to establish with certainty whether the rock-hewn tomb was the burial site of Jesus, the discovery of at least six other rock-cut tombs around the church point to the area being a Jewish cemetery during the late Second Temple period — the time when Jesus the Jew from Nazareth lived.Dan Bahat, former city archaeologist of Jerusalem, told National Geographic: “We may not be absolutely certain that the site of the Holy Sepulchre Church is the site of Jesus burial, but we certainly have no other site that can lay a claim nearly as weighty, and we really have no reason to reject the authenticity of the site.”The restoration team has installed a window to showcase part of the area exposed by the researchers so that visitors can see into the limestone cave.————————–Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.Follow Ilan Ben Zion on Twitter and Facebook.

Peace ‘a strategic goal’ of Palestinians, says Abbas-Palestinian leader ‘wants to emphasize respect for Judaism,’ backs keeping Jerusalem open to all monotheistic faiths-By Times of Israel staff November 1, 2016, 5:25 pm

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Monday that peace is a strategic goal of the Palestinians, who are committed to a two-state solution.Abbas was speaking in the West Bank town of Bethlehem where he was meeting visiting Italian President Sergio Mattarella, who has also met with Israeli leaders and paid his respects at the grave of Shimon Peres.“We reiterate here that peace is our strategic goal and is in the interest of all parties,” Abbas said at a joint press conference, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.“The key to peace is in ending the Israeli occupation and in lifting the injustice faced by our people so that the two states, Palestine and Israel, can live in security, stability, peace and good neighborly relations,” he added.Abbas said he was ready for a two-state solution based on the Arab Peace Initiative and on United Nations resolutions. He also voiced support for an international peace conference proposed by France and due to be held before the end of the year.The peace process between Israel and the Palestinians has been dormant since the collapse of a US-led initiative in April 2014.Abbas added that recent decisions by UNESCO pertaining to Jerusalem were aimed at protecting the global human heritage and condemning Israel’s attempts to change the character and identity of Arab East Jerusalem.He asserted that Israeli claims confusing religion with heritage were inappropriate.“I want to emphasis here our respect for Judaism,” he said. “We have always called for keeping Jerusalem open for worship to followers of the three monotheistic religions – Christianity, Judaism and Islam.”“What we condemn is the Israeli violations and settler attacks against our people and their holy places,” he said.The United Nations’ cultural body passed two resolutions, a week apart, in which it referred to the Temple Mount compound solely by its Muslim names, Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif, and defined it only as “a Muslim holy site of worship.” It also accused Israel of various violations at the holy site.After the second resolution passed on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recalled Israeli Ambassador to UNESCO Carmel Shama-Hacohen to protest the fact that the resolutions ignore Jewish and Christian ties to Jerusalem’s holy sites.

East Jerusalem man indicted for raping new mother in hospital-Hazim Rishq, 30, accused of sexually assaulting 2 other maternity patients in Jerusalem, while impersonating doctor-By Times of Israel staff November 1, 2016, 5:41 pm

An East Jerusalem man was indicted on Tuesday for allegedly raping a maternity patient and sexually assaulting two others at a Jerusalem hospital last month, while impersonating a doctor.Hazim Rishq, 30, from Anata was also accused of stealing items valued at NIS 1,800 ($470) from a Jerusalem supermarket, as well as attempted theft from the hospital patients.According to the indictment, Rishq entered three maternity patients’ rooms at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in late October, presenting himself as a member of the hospital staff.He told one of the new mothers he needed to perform an “internal examination,” before proceeding to assault her, the indictment charged. Overall, Rishq was accused of raping one patient and sexually assaulting two others in the Jerusalem hospital maternity ward on October 22.Earlier in the day, Rishq robbed a Jerusalem grocery store, the legal documents said.Jerusalem prosecutors were seeking to keep Rishq in custody until the end of the proceedings.The hospital’s security officer reported the incident on October 22 to police who launched an investigation, ultimately leading to the man’s arrest.Contradicting the police, the hospital said at the time that the incident involved “an indecent act” and not rape. It said it was examining its security procedures to find out how the impostor managed to evade security and carry out the alleged attack.Stuart Winer contributed to this report.

Egypt uncovers plot to attack Israeli soccer coach-Extremist fans planned to harass Avram Grant, Ghana’s national team coach, during upcoming match in Alexandria-By Times of Israel staff November 1, 2016, 5:54 pm

The Egypt Football Association uncovered a plan by extremist local fans to attack Israeli soccer coach Avram Grant during a November 13 FIFA World Cup qualifier match between Egypt and Ghana.Angry fans sent messages to the Egyptian regulatory body, threatening to harm Ghana’s Israeli coach during the match in Alexandria, Ghanaian media reported Sunday, citing Egyptian sources.According to the Egypt Football Association, fans plotted to harass and abuse Grant from the time he arrived at the airport until he left the country. They also demanded that Egyptian authorities block the 61-year-old coach, who also has Polish citizenship, from entering the country.“They plan to hurt and chant at him, and they want him not to enter Egyptian territory because people don’t want him around,” a source at the Egypt Football Association told Ghanaian online portal “Sports Obama”.Grant has recently voiced concerns that Alexandria will not be a safe place to hold the match, and called for it to be relocated to another country.Despite Israel and Egypt having signed a peace deal in 1979, many Egyptians are hostile toward Israel and oppose normalization.In 2011, thousands of Egyptian protesters broke into the Israeli embassy in Cairo. Following intervention by US President Barack Obama, Egyptian commando forces evacuated six Israeli diplomats who had been trapped in a “safe room” inside the embassy.Grant is a veteran soccer coach, having trained many major Israeli teams in a career that started in 1972, when he was just 18 years old.Grant coached the Israeli national team for four consecutive years until he announced he was moving to England in October 2005.After a year as technical director at Portsmouth, he replaced Jose Mourinho as manager of Chelsea in July 2007. Despite finishing in second place in the Premier League and advancing to the finals of the UEFA Champions League and the League Cup, Grant was fired from Chelsea after one year.After serving in several positions in Portsmouth, West Ham United and Partisan Belgrade, Grant was appointed at the end of 2014 as the new manager of the Ghana national soccer team.Grant led Ghana to the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015, but Ivory Coast prevailed in a penalty shootout to win that title.

FBI finds no clear link between Trump and Russia — report-Bureau does believe Moscow hacked Democratic Party emails in attempt to undermine American democracy-By Times of Israel staff November 1, 2016, 5:34 pm

The FBI found no clear link between Donald Trump and Russia, despite allegations by an intelligence agent that Moscow groomed the Republican presidential nominee for years as an asset and a report that computer scientists uncovered a private line of communication between the Trump Organization and a Moscow bank owned by a Russian-Israeli businessman.The New York Times revealed Monday that despite several investigations over many weeks into ties between Trump and Russia, the FBI found no conclusive evidence connecting Moscow to the Republican presidential nominee.According to the report, FBI experts do believe that Russia was responsible for hacking the email accounts of senior Democrats and passing on the information to WikiLeaks, but that the motive was to interfere with the election in general, as opposed to trying to elect Trump.The bureau also rejected the claims of various news agencies that published details on Monday of the alleged close ties between Trump and Russia.According to Slate, the computer experts uncovered a direct communication line between a server registered to the Trump Organization on Fifth Avenue in New York and two servers registered to Russia’s Alfa Bank, founded and owned by Russian-Israeli businessman Mikhail Fridman.Alfa is the largest private commercial bank in Russia, and has deep ties to the government and Putin. It is not known what information was sent between the two servers, but the intensity of communication increased at key points in the election campaign.Shortly after a reporter from The New York Times met with a representative of Alfa in September to ask about the communication, the Trump domain stopped working. However, four days later the Trump Organization reportedly created a new host name and once again began communicating with the two servers in Russia, Slate reported.Both Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization denied there has been any secret communication between the two.Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Slate: “To be clear, the Trump Organization is not sending or receiving any communications from this email server. The Trump Organization has no communication or relationship with this entity or any Russian entity.”The FBI, after investigating, accepted that there may be other explanations for the exchange of information between the servers and that there was no proven direct communication.But perhaps more significantly, the Mother Jones website reported Monday that Trump himself was cultivated as an asset by Russia. A former senior intelligence officer claimed that he contacted the FBI in early July to warn them of the influence Putin had over Trump.In his first memo, reviewed by Mother Jones, the agent wrote that the “Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance.” The memo also claimed that Trump “and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.”The memo stated that Trump had been “compromised” by Russian intelligence on his visits to Moscow, making him susceptible to blackmail.In August, the FBI reportedly asked the agent for all his information and sources. The agent told Mother Jones that “it’s quite clear there was or is a pretty substantial inquiry going on.”The Times said that FBI officials declined to comment on the matter. But in the past six weeks, the bureau opened a broad investigation into ties between Moscow and the Republican Party. The officials stressed that Trump himself has not been the focus of the investigation, and, according to the Times, there is no evidence linking him or anyone in his inner circle directly to the Kremlin.Trump has repeatedly denied any connection to Putin. However, he has often praised the Russian leader, and even encouraged the Russians to hack into Clinton’s servers.“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said at a press conference in July. “I think you’ll be rewarded mightily by our press!”The area where the bureau does see Russia’s hand is in the hacking of the Democratic Party emails, which were then passed on to WikiLeaks.But while the Clinton campaign has charged that the Kremlin is trying to tilt the election in favor of Donald Trump, the FBI claims that the hacking is intended to undermine America’s democracy and its standing in the world.“It isn’t about the election,” a senior intelligence official told the New York Times, discussing Russia’s goal. “It’s about a threat to democracy.”The Obama administration delayed formally blaming the hacking on Russia for weeks because of sensitive negotiations about the Syrian ceasefire that were taking place with Moscow, according to people familiar with the investigation. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the hackings, which were investigated as counterintelligence cases.Even hawkish officials within the Justice Department who were urging an announcement blaming Russia did not object to waiting for those negotiations to conclude. When the Syria talks collapsed in failure, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Homeland Security Department released a joint statement accusing Russia of the hacking.NBC also reported on Monday that the FBI was conducting a preliminary investigation into Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and his business dealings with Russia. Manafort denied any knowledge of the investigation and denied any connections to Russia’s Vladimir Putin.The Associated Press and AFP contributed to this report.

Commission makes no judgement in China race row By Eric Maurice-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 31. Oct, 15:07-The European Commission declined on Monday (31 October) to comment on declarations by commissioner Guether Oettinger that were considered as offensive to China and Wallonia.The EU executive spokesman Margaritis Schinas told journalists that Oettinger gave "detailed information" about the incident in an interview to German daily Die Welt and that the institutions had "nothing to add".Oettinger, the German member of the commission, was filmed at a meeting with business people in Hamburg last week using a German equivalent of "slant eyes" to refer to Chinese people.He also joked about members of a Chinese delegation in Brussels who had their hair "combed from left to right with black shoe polish”.The commissioner told Die Welt that the video has been edited and his words taken out of context. He admitted “a somewhat sloppy statement" but said it was "in no way meant disrespectfully towards China”.Schinas said he would "refrain from any characterisation or value judgement that one can make on the explanations" given by Oettinger."We have to listen to what Guenther Oettinger has to say," he said.-He added that the commission's president, Jean-Claude Juncker, did not ask his commissioner for explanations because he was "100 percent busy with Ceta", the EU-Canada trade deal that was signed on Sunday.He also said that no further question would be asked because "we don't have an FBI at the commission to investigate commissioners".Oettinger was also reported as saying that Wallonia, the Belgian region that delayed the signing of the EU-Canada trade agreement, was “a micro-region run by communists that blocks all Europe”.But that comment is not on the video and Schinas explained that there should be a distinction between what is really said and what is reportedly said."Wallonia is governed by its democratically elected leaders," he said when asked who were the communists mentioned by Oettinger. Wallonia minister-president Paul Magnette is a Social-Democrat.He insisted that the commission had "the highest respect for all Europe's regions that are primordial for Europe's competitiveness and cohesion".On Sunday, Juncker had himself taken a jab at Walloon leaders. He said "the commission's interlocutor is not the Walloon region, but the federal Belgian government", adding: “Belgians should think pretty carefully about how it works in the context of international trade negotiations.”The controversy over Oettinger's remarks comes as he is about to be promoted vice-president of the commission, in charge of budget, to replace Kristalina Georgieva who is taking a job at the World Bank.Oettinger was due to go to Greece on Monday, but the visit was cancelled, due to "unexpected commitments", Schinas said while refusing to say what kind of commitment.

Hong Kong leader raises prospect of controversial legal request to Beijing-[Reuters]-November 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's leader has signalled he might ask Beijing to use a rarely invoked power to interpret the city's Basic Law mini-constitution to end a political crisis over a fledgling independence movement.Any such move will spark fears for Hong Kong's autonomy and vaunted legal system, officials, judges and lawyers say privately.Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's remarks on Tuesday come ahead of a Hong Kong government-requested legal hearing that could effectively bar two recently elected pro-independence lawmakers from the legislature of the global financial hub.Some local officials and judges have grown privately fearful that the emergence of independence issues could see Beijing force tough new laws on the city, or interpret the Basic Law to explicitly curb pro-independence legislators.The city's rule of law and freedom of speech is jealously guarded by many in the former British colony after it returned to Chinese rule in 1997 under the principle of "one country, two systems", allowing it wide-ranging freedoms.Speaking ahead of a weekly executive meeting on Tuesday, Leung went further than other officials in raising the prospect that his government could request Beijing to interpret the Basic Law."We hope to do our utmost to resolve it within Hong Kong, but we cannot rule out this possibility," Leung told local media.Justice Secretary Rimsky Yuen has said previously said that there was no need for an interpretation at this point, and said later on Tuesday he still "hopes" the issue can be handled locally.The government has asked the courts to review a decision by the legislature's president allowing pro-independence lawmakers Yau Wai-ching, 25, and Baggio Leung, 30, to re-take their oaths of office. The hearing starts on Thursday.The pair, who represent a new breed of more radical activists moving into the political mainstream, had their swearing-in oaths invalidated last month over language and a banner that was deemed derogatory to China."Apart from the case in court ... there is a high possibility that other things might be triggered by their oaths and their words and actions afterwards," the chief executive said, explaining why he had postponed a trip to Beijing.In response, the two lawmakers said in a joint statement that if an interpretation was to take place, it would mean the Chinese Communist Party ruled over Hong Kong directly.Pressure has built in recent weeks from local Beijing loyalists and the president Legislative Council last week delayed their swearing-in until the High Court rules.Beijing's chief representative in Hong Kong did not mention the possibility of an interpretation in a speech later on Tuesday but said the lawmakers "seriously violated" China's constitution, the Basic Law and the relevant Hong Kong laws."Any speech and action promoting Hong Kong independence should be punished according to the law. There is no reason to be lenient," said the head of the Liaison Office, Zhang Xiaoming.Once taboo, calls for self-determination and independence have risen since the 79 day struggle in late 2014 when tens of thousands took to the streets for 79 days of protests against reforms that failed to deliver full democracy for leadership.(Reporting By Greg Torode.

Taiwan's KMT party tells China it is pushing for peace-[Reuters]-By Faith Hung and Paul Carsten-November 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

TAIPEI/BEIJING (Reuters) - Taiwan's opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party is pushing for peace with mainland China and holds out the possibility of a peace pact, the party's chairwoman told Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Tuesday, the party said.Xi, general secretary of the Communist Party and China's president, met a delegation led by KMT chairwoman Hung Hsiu-Chu at Beijing's Great Hall of the People, the Xinhua news agency reported.Taiwan, which relies on the United States for arms sales, has ruled itself as a rival to China since the end of a Chinese civil war in 1949. Beijing sees the island as a renegade province that must be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary.Hung, once a presidential candidate, said the KMT would play an active role in pushing for the "institutionalisation" of peaceful relations between the two sides and for the possibility of a peace pact, the KMT said in a statement released in Taiwan.Relations between the mainland and Taiwan have deteriorated since the island's pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) took power in May after winning an election.In his meeting with Hung, the Chinese president said Taiwan's changing politics would not affect the meaning of the 'One China' principle, China's state radio said.China's position on this issue will not waver or be blurred in the slightest, the broadcaster cited Xi as saying.Beijing cut an official communication mechanism with Taiwan in June, after Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen of the DPP refused to commit to the "One China" principle that Taiwan is part of China.In response to comments made in the meeting, Taiwan's China policy-making body reiterated its desire for China to resume talks."A peaceful development of cross-strait ties is the responsibility of both sides... We should both make mutual gestures of goodwill, to resolve our differences via constructive dialogue," said the Mainland Affairs Council in a statement.The previous KMT administration had agreed to recognize the "1992 consensus", which states that there is only one China, with each side having its own interpretation of what that means.The KMT, a bitter rival of Beijing for decades, has in recent years been seen as more pragmatic about ties based on economic cooperation.Communist forces defeated the KMT in the civil war, and the KMT forces fled to the island.(Additional reporting by Monitoring Desk in Beijing; Editing by Clarence Fernandez and Hugh Lawson)

ZARQA/SHURA, Iraq (Reuters) - After Islamic State conquered villages in northern Iraq, it spelled out in minute detail the rules of its self-proclaimed caliphate, from beard length to alms to guidelines for taking women as sex slaves.Islamic State documents and posters, obtained in villages captured by Iraqi forces, highlight a tight and comprehensive system of rule by the militants, who went to great lengths to explain their extremist philosophy.The documents and other materials, printed with Islamic State logos, were found by Reuters in offices used by the group until a few days ago. Members of the Iraqi forces told Reuters the documents originated from Islamic State, although this could not be independently verified.Iraqi security forces and Kurdish peshmerga fighters have seized several villages and towns during an offensive against the northern city of Mosul, Islamic State's last stronghold in the country.When Islamic State swept through the north in 2014, it announced a self-proclaimed caliphate, which appealed to some fellow Sunnis who felt marginalized by the Shi'ite-led central government.But that appeal faded as Islamic State enforced its medieval thinking with brute force, beheading anyone deemed an opponent.Slick, colorful posters, pamphlets and documents highlight Islamic State's intense focus on dictating what it called proper Islamic behavior for the citizens of its caliphate.Violations of its rules meant punishment such as public whipping or being hauled off to Mosul for execution, according to several villagers who recently escaped from Islamic State areas.A green wallet-size insert lays out guidelines for how to pray properly. It shows a young boy undertaking ablutions. "Wash your feet from the direction of your toes down to your heels," it said.-GOLD BRACELETS-A five-page pamphlet with pictures of gold bracelets, diamond rings and wheat on the front spelled out instructions on how to give alms, an obligation under Islam. Failure to do so would mean a penalty.In the village of Shura, where seven Islamic State suicide bombers were recently shot dead as they rushed toward Iraqi forces, militants kept meticulous records of who had given alms. Entries showed whether an individual owned gold, property or a car. Monthly salaries were also noted.Unlike al Qaeda, its predecessor in Iraq, Islamic State made its name in the jihadi world by becoming the first militant group to capture significant amounts of land in the Middle East, hold it and then set up an administration.But air strikes by a U.S.-led coalition targeting Islamic State's leaders and its sources of income have dealt a major blow to the caliphate.Islamic State's inclination to codify its system of rule extended to what it called the spoils of war.A pink and red pamphlet includes 32 questions and answers on how to deal with female captives.A senior Islamic State cleric has the authority to distribute female captives among its fighters, it said."Non-Muslim women can be taken as concubines," according to the leaflet.Militants can own two sisters as concubines but only have sex with one."Pre-pubescent girls can be taken as concubines. You cannot have penetrative sex but you can still enjoy them," the leaflet added.One question in the pamphlet asks whether a group of militants can share a concubine. The answer: only a single owner can sleep with a concubine.After blazing through northern Iraq, Islamic State took hundreds of women from the Yazidi minority as sex slaves.Under Islamic State's rules, women were required to largely stay at home or wear head-to-toe black coverings if they ventured out. Men wore short pants which were deemed Islamic along with beards of appropriate length.One of the pamphlets begins by defining a beard as "hair that grows on your face and your cheeks".There were few forms of entertainment under Islamic State, which banned the internet and music along with cell phones.A ban on satellite dishes deprived Iraqis of news of the outside world. In a huge slick poster, entitled "Why I Should Destroy My Dish", the jihadists provided 20 reasons, revolving mostly around the immorality of satellite television programs.Reason 8: "Because satellite channels show stories of love and naked women and inappropriate language."Reason 10: "Because satellite channels normalize men being effeminate and sissies."(Writing by Michael Georgy; editing by Giles Elgood)

US expert warns EU on returning jihadists By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 29. Oct, 19:32-Jihadists who left Europe to fight In Iraq and Syria will come back in greater numbers as the Islamic State (IS) group loses territory there, a former US security chief has warned.“Some of them are now coming back as we make progress against Daesh [another name for IS] in places like Mosul [in Iraq] or in other places in the field. More of those foreign fighters will leave there and … some of them will return home”, Michael Chertoff, the former head of the US department of homeland security, said on Saturday (29 October).“Tracking those people and making sure they don’t take advantage of the Schengen framework will be an issue of special urgency over the next year”, he said, referring to the EU’s open-border zone.Chertoff, who spoke at the Tatra summit, a conference in Bratislava, is part of a pressure group calling for more intelligence sharing between the US and EU states.He noted that the US has a visa-waiver programme with most EU countries which could also be abused.He said if the EU states wanted to protect the waiver it meant “we have to work closely together to identify people here who may come back from Syria and who might want to come to the US to carry out attacks”.Chertoff’s warning echoed that of Julian King, the EU security commissioner, who recently told Die Welt, a German newspaper, that a surge in returning foreign fighters was “a threat we must be prepared to face” if IS lost territory in Iraq.He said there were 2,500 European fighters in the Mosul area in Iraq alone.Chertoff, as well as David Omand, a former director of the British intelligence unit, the GCHQ, said on Saturday that, foreign fighters aside, the threat of a cyberattack on EU or US targets was higher than in the past.“You don’t have to bring people into a country to blow up something or to disrupt it, you can do it online,” Chertoff said.He said IS did not need to have high-level IT experts to mount an attack because they could buy the cyber capabilities that they would need from organised crimes groups on the internet.“If you have the money, you can buy the malware on the dark web and use it”, he said, referring to a hidden part of the internet.Omand said it was also “inevitable” that there would one day be a terrorist attack using drones.“We’ve already spotted Daesh doing that in Syria, so the idea is in people’s heads and it’s not so difficult to acquire drones”, he said.He said the best way to stop such an incident was to rely on local police looking out for people “practicing or rehearsing that kind of attack”.He added that he had not seen any sign that IS had acquired chemical or biological weapons from Syria’s arsenals.“I’m retired, so I don’t have access to classified information any more … but I haven’t heard of such a development. I haven’t seen it. If they had those kinds of agents, they would have used them, or, at least, boasted about them”, he said.

U.N. peacekeepers failed to respond to South Sudan hotel attack - inquiry-[Reuters]-November 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations peacekeepers known as UNMISS failed to respond to an attack on civilians by South Sudanese government troops at the Hotel Terrain in the capital Juba in July, less than a mile from a U.N. compound, a U.N. inquiry found on Tuesday.It found a "lack of preparedness, ineffective command and control and a risk-averse or 'inward-looking' posture resulted in a loss of trust and confidence - particularly by the local population and humanitarian agencies - in the will and skill of UNMISS military, (and) police to be proactive and show a determined posture to protect civilians under threat."(Reporting by Michelle Nichols; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Islamic State kills 40 near Mosul, tries to move 25,000 to use as shields, U.N. says-[Reuters]-By Tom Miles-November 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

GENEVA (Reuters) - Islamic State militants killed 40 former members of the Iraqi Security Forces near Mosul on Saturday and threw their bodies in the Tigris river, U.N. human rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said on Tuesday, citing reports from the field.IS also tried to transport about 25,000 civilians from Hammam al-Alil, a town south of Mosul, on dozens of trucks and minibuses during the hours of darkness early on Monday, probably for use as human shields in defense of IS positions, she said.Most of the trucks, which were heading toward the Tal Afar district, turned back under pressure from patrolling aircraft, but some buses did reach Abu Saif, 15 km (10 miles) north of Hammam al-Alil, she said."We have grave concerns for these and tens of thousands of other civilians who have reportedly been forcibly relocated by ISIL (Islamic State) in the past two weeks," she said.IS fighters were taking people closer and closer to Mosul city and putting them close to their offices and to installations that could constitute military targets, Shamdasani said."That seems to support the assertion that they are planning to use these people as human shields, as well as ensuring that the area is heavily populated with civilians to frustrate a military operation against them," she said."They are also killing some people that they are abducting, especially people who formerly belonged to the Iraqi Security Forces."The 40 former Iraqi soldiers killed on Saturday were among civilians who had been abducted earlier from the al-Shura sub-district of Mosul and from villages around Hammam al-Alil.There may be many more, Shamdasani said, adding that the U.N.'s reports were "raw information" from reliable sources and were by no means comprehensive.Although there would be a "temptation for revenge" against captured IS fighters, the U.N. had not documented any such abuses, and it welcomed the Iraqi government's pledge to put protection of civilians at the heart of their strategy, Shamdasani said.She also said there were no reports of coalition air strikes killing civilians, including those people being held as human shields.(Reporting by Tom Miles, editing by Larry King)

Refugees languish in Greek limbo as alarm grows in Brussels-[Reuters]-By Karolina Tagaris-November 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

ATHENS (Reuters) - Seven months after the European Union and Turkey struck an agreement to turn back the tide of Syrians fleeing west, not a single refugee has been sent back from Greece, and Brussels is losing its patience as overcrowded camps grow violent.The agreement reached in March was designed to reduce the number of migrants crossing into Europe from Turkey, after more than a million people arrived in Europe last year, most reaching Greek islands by boat and continuing by land to Germany.Under the deal, the European Union declared Turkey "a safe third country", meaning those who make the crossing can be returned there, even if found to have fled Syria or other countries as refugees deserving protection. Turkey agreed to take them back, in return for a range of EU concessions.At around the same time, Balkan countries along the land route north closed their borders, so that migrants who once poured across Greece to reach other parts of Europe are now trapped there and prevented from pressing on.For the most part, the goal of stemming the tide has been achieved so far. Only 17,000 people, around half of them Syrians, have made the hazardous sea crossing from Turkey since the deal was signed, a tiny fraction of hundreds of thousands that arrived the previous year to pass through Greece.But for the deal to continue to work for the longer term, European officials and experts say refugees will have to be sent back to Turkey. As long as those crossing are still able to stay in Greece, there is a risk that more will decide to come."There's the deterrence effect. If it's proven that people are being turned back, it can force people to think twice about even trying," said James Ker-Lindsay, an expert on southern Europe at the London School of Economics.Only about 700 people who arrived since the deal was signed - just four percent of the total - have gone back to Turkey, and none was ordered back after being recognised as a refugee.Of those who returned, most were economic migrants from countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh who left without seeking asylum in Greece. Around 70 people who did claim asylum in Greece gave up on the process and asked to leave before it was over. The rest are still in Greece, prey for smugglers who offer to take them to northern Europe.Some 61,000 migrants are still scattered across Greece, including 15,900 in overcrowded island camps that have grown violent as the delays mount, with around 2,500 more arriving each month. The camps are now holding three times as many people as they held when the deal was signed, and twice as many as they were built for.The EU blames the delays on Greek inefficiency."The goal of ensuring returns ... has mostly been hampered by the slow pace of processing of asylum applications at first instance by the Greek Asylum Service and of processing of appeals by the newly-established Greek Appeals Authority," the EU Commission said in a progress report."Further efforts are urgently needed by the Greek administration to build a substantially increased and sustained capacity to return arriving migrants, which is considered to be the key deterrent factor for irregular migrants and smugglers."Athens says it is simply overwhelmed and cannot speed up the painstaking process of evaluating claims. It has asked the EU to send more staff, but European officials say that would not help without more effort from Greece to improve its system.Interviews with asylum-seekers and officials involved in the process suggest Greek staff are indeed stretched, but red tape, inefficiency, the lack of a unified plan across refugee camps and a lengthy appeals process are also to blame.-UNLUCKY-Amir, Walaa and their two young children fled from the Syrian city of Homs to Turkey and reached a beach on the Greek island of Chios in March. They say they came ashore the day before the deal with Turkey, but their arrival was not recorded by police until the next day, exposing them to the new rules."We were unlucky," Walaa said, smiling weakly. Her two brothers had taken just two weeks to reach Germany from Greece before the land border was shut. Her husband Amir added: "We were in the boat and (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel and Turkey were finishing the deal."Their asylum case should be easier to process than many: they have their passports and do not need to prove their identity. But they are still months from an answer.In their first weeks in Greece they were given a number: 10,624. Each day, they rose from their tent in the dusty remains of a castle moat, and walked to a notice board, looking anxiously for it.If posted, it meant they should walk or catch a bus to the island's main camp, a few miles (km) away, and queue there at the processing centre, a few prefabricated containers arranged inside an abandoned aluminium factory.They spent four months in the tent before their number finally was posted the first time, summoning them to a meeting to establish their identity, where authorities finally sat them down to ask for their names and fingerprints.Six months after they arrived, they were finally told the date of their first actual interview: Dec. 6. They were finally given the right to leave the camp and relocate to Athens while they wait for their case to be heard. Now they live at a grimy, abandoned Athens school where smugglers roam, offering passage to northern Europe for $1,000."We wait. Every day we just wait. Why, I don't know," Walaa said, gazing at the floor. She and her husband asked that their surnames not be published to protect relatives back in Syria.Humanitarian groups on the ground say poor coordination slows things down on the islands, a conclusion backed up by the EU Commission report, which urged Greece to develop unified management for the camps.The camps are typically run by local municipalities or the central government, while screening and interviews are carried out primarily by officials from EU border agency Frontex and the European Asylum Support Office (EASO).Asylum-seekers say they receive contradictory information and are confounded by a lack of interpreters. One camp used a loud-hailer to call people to appointments; if they didn't hear it, they missed their turn.Frontex and EASO officials go to unusual lengths to confirm an identity or check an asylum seeker's story. Someone who has no documentation and professes to be from Syria, for example, will be asked to name streets, identify landmarks or pick out Syrian coins from a handful of different currencies.-A CRUEL BUREAUCRACY-The long waits and squalor of some camps have turned frustration into violence. On Chios and the island of Lesbos in recent days, asylum-seekers attacked EASO's offices to protest against delays. Interviews there have yet to resume.EASO has deployed 202 staff in Greece and has called for 100 more, but EU member states have yet to respond, EASO spokesman Jean-Pierre Schembri said. Greece has repeatedly asked for more.The Greek legal system allows for an elaborate appeals process, which the EU says is too slow. Greece responded in June by sending more judges to replace civil servants and staff of either the U.N. refugee agency or Greek human rights commission, who had previously sat on appeals panels.The new boards appear to be moving only slightly faster: they made 35 decisions in their first month, compared with 72 made by the old boards in the first three months of the deal, the EU Commission report said. The report did not specify what decisions had been reached.The most contentious part of the process is determining whether those with valid asylum cases can safely be returned to Turkey, the heart of the March deal. The new appeals boards have dealt with at least three such cases as of Sept. 18, and at least one is challenging the decision at Greece's highest court, according to the EU report.Reuters could not find a board member willing to comment publicly on the process."A wrong decision might send someone back to serious harm," said Giorgos Kosmopoulos, an Amnesty International researcher and former Greece director. "It's about quality not quantity."(Additional reporting by Gabriela Baczynska in Brussels; editing by Peter Graff)

Iranian parliament approves three new Rouhani ministers-[Reuters]-November 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Iranian lawmakers approved three new ministers on Tuesday, signalling support for changes in the cabinet of pragmatist President Hassan Rouhani seven months before a presidential election.State media reported that Reza Salehi Amiri, Saeed Soltanifar and Fakhredin Ahmadi Danesh-Ashtiani won votes of confidence to take over the ministries of Islamic guidance and culture, sport and youth affairs, and education. Their predecessors resigned after Rouhani criticised them for inefficiency and succumbing to pressures from outside the government.Rouhani allies won big gains in parliamentary elections in February, short of an outright majority but comfortable enough to pass his legislative plans.Rouhani is expected to stand for re-election next year but may face a challenge from conservative rivals who believe Iran has conceded too much in a deal with world powers to limit its nuclear programme, while failing to benefit as promised from a lifting of international sanctions.(Reporting by Bozorgmehr Sharafedin; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)
