Explosion strikes Palestinian PM's convoy in Gaza-[The Canadian Press-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
JABALIA, Palestinian Territory — An explosion struck the convoy of the Palestinian prime minister Tuesday as he was making a rare visit to Gaza, in what his Fatah party called an assassination attempt it blamed on Gaza militants.The explosion went off shortly after the convoy entered Gaza through the Erez crossing with Israel. Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah was unharmed and went on to inaugurate a long-awaited sewage plant project in the northern part of the strip. But Fatah quickly held Gaza's Islamic Hamas rulers responsible for the "cowardly attack" on the convoy, further escalating tensions between the bitter rival factions.Three of the vehicles in Hamdallah's convoy were damaged, their windows blown out. One had signs of blood on the door.Hamdallah, who is based in the West Bank, arrived in Hamas-run Gaza to inaugurate the sewage plant and said there that the attack will "not deter from seeking to end the bitter split. We will still come to Gaza."The rival factions have been trying to reconcile since 2007 when Hamas seized control of Gaza from Fatah forces and have suffered several setbacks in their efforts since. The takeover left the Palestinians with two rival governments, Hamas in Gaza and the Western-backed Palestinian Authority governing autonomous enclaves in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.In November, Hamas handed over control of Gaza's border crossings to the Palestinian Authority. It was the first tangible concession in years of Egyptian-brokered reconciliation talks. But negotiations have bogged down since then.Hamdallah's visit comes amid a time fo crisis in Gaza. On Tuesday, the White House is hosting a special meeting to discuss Gaza's devastated economy.The plant in question was envisioned in 2007 after overburdened sewage reservoirs collapsed, killing five villagers.The World Bank, European Union and other European governments have paid nearly $75 million in funding. Hamas' takeover of Gaza from the Palestinian Authority in 2007 and the ensuing Israeli-Egyptian blockade, power shortages and conflicts delayed the opening of the project for four years.Besides the old reservoirs, the plant will receive wastewater from four towns and villages. After treatment, the water will be transferred for irrigation and the remainder will be safely dumped to the sea.Fares Akram, The Associated Press.

Opinion-German underspend on defence to blame for Trump tariffs By Tomasz Wlostowski-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, 13. Mar, 17:42-President Trump's recent imposition of unilateral tariffs on steel and aluminium imports is extremely reckless and most likely illegal under WTO law.The fault for any potential global trade conflagration would be mainly his. But this does not absolve the European Union from maturity and strategic thinking.The United States has been Europe's only major reliable ally for at least a century. We rely on the US for protection from most dire threats. Competing centres of power already pose major geopolitical challenges and wait to pounce on any conflict between EU and US.US would be weakened without Europe, but would survive. Without US, EU in its current form would cease to exist.In this light, the EU's immediate response to president Trump's announcement on tariffs has been counter-productive, emotional, and lacking in strategic thinking.Canada and Mexico have since secured an exemption, while Australia appears to get one soon.EU made bad situation worse-Instead, the EU response has resulted in Trump twice threatening EU with additional restrictions on cars should the situation escalate. No other country has been so threatened. We made a bad situation worse.Reorganisation of international affairs and trade was president Trump's campaign promise. He pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership & Paris Climate Agreement, threatened NAFTA, and blocked the WTO Appellate Body.Trump won his campaign in states where increasing mechanisation, new technologies and imports decimated manufacturing. He is fighting globalisation and WTO's inability to stop China's state capitalism.Steel tariffs are not about the EU, they are about US politics. Any real solution to them will also come from US politics.Trump's target is Chinese steel and aluminium overcapacity. He is isolating the US from global effects of Chinese distortions.The US commerce secretary observed recently that Chinese exports to third countries dislodge domestic demand, resulting in exports to US, adding: "Too much time has been spent just talking about steel overcapacity, very little time has been spent doing anything about it. We are taking the leadership […] to deal with this chronic overcapacity problem."While the EU may dislike the approach taken by the US, China is a major challenge for EU industry.Instead of a distracting trade confrontation with America, the EU should minimise its effects focusing on the real target: Chinese distortions.The EU leadership generally dismisses president Trump. But US citizens, not EU elites, elect US leaders.We owe Trump the respect we give the United States. Trump's 'Section 232' action is taken pursuant to a statutory mandate from US Congress.Until Congress intervenes, which it may, we must deal with tariffs as US policy, not some flaky whim of one unstable despot.In this context, EU retaliation list is shameful. As a US special prosecutor accuses Russia of orchestrating an attack on US election system by stocking political polarisation, EU – supposedly 'an ally' – attacks key electorates to obtain a political result? The EU claims it is not the enemy. But the US claims that the destruction of US steel industry by imports – not the EU – threatens US security.Let us imagine the unthinkable. World War III: missiles, bombing raids, submarines, torpedoes. Will Japan or Germany reliably supply the US with steel or aluminium? When the US is responsible for world order, it is not up to us – given that we rely on US defence to guarantee our own safety – to question what US needs for its defence.-Security relationship-President Trump foresees future exemptions for countries that have a "security relationship" with US if they address in other ways the impairment to US security resulting from imports.In the past, he complained of EU countries' insufficient military spending, overburdening the US, allowing these countries to focus on their domestic spending priorities.Defence funding does not go to transport infrastructure, education, research, and other things impacting the competitiveness of economy.Linking military spending to trade competitiveness, even if far-fetched, is not entirely wrong. Treating the tariff dispute strictly as a trade issue is therefore unlikely to satisfy the US.In addition, the EU institutions will not be fully impartial. The European Commission has exclusive competence on trade issues, but plays a limited role on defence.Focus on defence spending would deprive the commission of a central role in the dispute, empowering national governments, whose US security relationship and military spending levels vary.The UK government would need no help from the commission to get out of the duties, while Germany would probably need all the help it can get.This is the crux of the problem. Germany, the EU giant, is the country most endangered by Trump's tariffs and rhetoric.It is the largest EU exporter of steel and aluminium to US, has the largest surplus with the US and spends too little on defence.Two other exporters, UK meets its share, while France is almost there. But Germany, Netherlands and Spain are below the two percent NATO threshold.While Germany alone could most likely resolve this issue through direct talks with the United States, it and the commission want to keep the dispute as a strictly trade issue, pulling the entire EU into the spat.Trump's latest tweets suggest this approach is unlikely to yield good results.There is no doubt that Trump's action is hostile, ill-conceived, internally inconsistent and most likely illegal.But as it cannot be quickly reversed without escalating into a major confrontation, the key question is whether the EU – keeping its focus on Chinese distortions, revamping the WTO and geopolitical stability of the global order – should not exercise strategic patience hoping that the next occupier of the White House will be less hostile and stand down.Tomasz Wlostowski is a Brussels-based dual-trained US & EU attorney practicing regulatory and international trade law.
Opinion-Let's put peace at the heart of the development debate By Anastasia Kyriacou-EUOBSERVER
LONDON, 13. Mar, 09:16-As aid is increasingly spent less in the least developed countries, a new report by Concord has revealed the EU is diverting an increasing proportion of spending towards conflict and security - to the point it has in the last decade outpaced all aid growth.The amount and allocation of overseas development assistance (ODA) have always been contentious issues, but the recent Oxfam sex abuse revelations propelled the sector into the spotlight like never before.Within a sobering climate of crisis and uncertainty, leaders from across the community gathered at the London-based international development conference to exchange ideas about how the sector must move forward.UK secretary of state for international development, Penny Mordaunt, said it has been our "failure to put the beneficiaries of aid first", that has caused us to stray from delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.The solution she proposed, is for the department for international development (DfID) to cooperate more closely with the ministry of defence.However, this is in direct contrast to a number of international NGO leaders who disagree with further merging development agendas with military expansion.The current development model requires a radical change in approach that drives forward programmes with values of human rights, biodiversity and peace-building at their core.-Cultivate earth democracy-With an ecosystem that is already 80 percent destroyed and unprecedented widespread global displacement, it is necessary to shift towards a biodiversity paradigm that promotes what environmental activist Vandana Shiva refers to as "earth democracy", through co-empowering, co-creating and co-producing.Citing Bhutan as exemplary, the biodiversity advocate urges a greater respect for culture, protecting forests and measuring wellbeing as opposed to GDP; the most powerful number that rules our life, but increases poverty and worsens life.Shiva insists that "poverty, malnutrition and education is all achievable by respecting the earth", but if we continue to build structures by ruining the foundations, the entire system will collapse.-Centralise women's rights-Inevitably, international aid and development is a matter of transforming power relations and the distribution of power around the world, which is why the director of programmes at the African Women's Development Fund, Jessica Horn is resolute about women's rights being central to our vision in order for progress to occur.Horn asserted the need to rethink discourses of security, considering a third of women experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime as a proportionately bigger issue than terrorism.It is imperative for money to be spent less on armies and more for humans, because "I can tell you as an African, we don't need any more guns", she stressed.-Prioritise peace-building-Conflicts drive 80 percent of all humanitarian needs and according to International Alert, the share of global poverty in fragile states is projected to increase to 80 percent by 2035.The organisation's chief, Harriet Lamb consequently calls on governments to establish specific funds to aid politics and economics in affected areas - emphasising that "peace impact must run through everything we do."In the alarming climate of more people dying in wars today than they have in the past 25 years, in conjunction with the ever-shrinking space for civil society particularly in fragile states, we must encourage more solidarity and less armed services delivery.Using Mali as an example of where a hard security response and exclusion of the Tuareg people prevents development, Lamb outlined the illogical spending distribution of less than one percent on peace-building in comparison to the military.-Security vs civil society-There is a clear consensus within the sector that aid and development organisational frameworks must shift away from security to a model that promotes peace, human rights and biodiversity.The UK government's pledge to strengthen military relations to improve global security demonstrates a lack of communication with the very people carrying out the work.We cannot expect to achieve a single UN Sustainable Development Goal if policymakers continue to ignore the recommendations of experts, so why are they not listening? As the Concord report outlines, aid spending is often determined by EU political leaders who implement reactive, crisis-response decisions that are results-driven – such as terror attacks or refugee movements.Consequently, donor countries are focusing more and more on national security interests as opposed to the development of insecure countries. "Only by realising development goals driven by our partner countries can we create the preconditions for long lasting peaceful societies", the report states.Moving forward, the clash in values been civil society and policymakers may present challenges for organisations who rely on government funding streams, while an increasingly military-heavy agenda is likely to further distort the public's perception of the purpose of aid.Ultimately, true global progress requires politicians around the world to understand that prioritising empowering local civil society organisations and supporting partner governments to promote human rights, is critical to improving security in all countries and relations with fragile states.After all, shifting focus away from the very people living in poverty is in direct contradiction to the purpose.Anastasia Kyriacou works for AidEx.
Draft GOP report: No coordination between Trump and Russia-[Associated Press]-MARY CLARE JALONICK-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have completed a draft report concluding there was no collusion or coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, a finding that pleased the White House but enraged Democrats who had not yet seen the document.After a yearlong investigation, Texas Rep. Mike Conaway announced Monday that the committee has finished interviewing witnesses and will share the report with Democrats for the first time Tuesday. Conaway is the Republican leading the House probe, one of several investigations on Russian meddling in the 2016 elections."We found no evidence of collusion," Conaway told reporters, suggesting that those who believe there was collusion are reading too many spy novels. "We found perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment in taking meetings. But only Tom Clancy or Vince Flynn or someone else like that could take this series of inadvertent contacts with each other, or meetings or whatever, and weave that into sort of a fiction page-turner, spy thriller."Hours later, Trump tweeted his own headline of the report in excited capital letters: "THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION."Conaway previewed some of the conclusions, but said the public will not see the report until Democrats have reviewed it and the intelligence community has decided what information can become public, a process that could take weeks. Democrats are expected to issue a separate report with far different conclusions.In addition to the statement on coordination with Russians, the draft challenges an assessment made after the 2016 election that Russian meddling was an effort to help Trump. The January 2017 assessment revealed that the FBI, CIA and NSA had concluded that the Russian government, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, waged a covert influence campaign to interfere in the election with the goal of hurting Democrat Hillary Clinton's candidacy and helping Trump's campaign.House Intelligence Committee officials said they spent hundreds of hours reviewing raw source material used by the intelligence services in the assessment and that it did not meet the appropriate standards to make the claim about helping Trump. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the intelligence material.Conaway said there will be a second report just dealing with the intelligence assessment and its credibility.The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement soon after the GOP announcement, saying it stood by the intelligence community's findings. DNI spokesman Brian Hale said the office will review the findings of the committee's report.According to Conaway, the report will agree with the intelligence assessment on most other details, including that Russians did meddle in the election. It will detail Russian cyberattacks on U.S. institutions during the election and the use of social media to sow discord. It will also show a pattern of Russian attacks on European allies — information that could be redacted in the final report. And it will blame officials in President Barack Obama's administration for a "lackluster" response and look at leaks from the intelligence community to the media.It will include at least 25 recommendations, including how to improve election security, respond to cyberattacks and improve counterintelligence efforts.Democrats have criticized Republicans on the committee for shortening the investigation, pointing to multiple contacts between Trump's campaign and Russia and saying they have seen far too few witnesses to make any judgment on collusion. The Democrats and Republicans have openly fought throughout the investigation, with Democrats suggesting a cover-up for a Republican president and one GOP member of the panel calling the probe "poison" for the previously bipartisan panel.The top Democrat on the intelligence panel, California Rep. Adam Schiff, suggested that by wrapping up the probe the Republicans were protecting Trump. He called the development a "tragic milestone" and said history would judge them harshly.Republicans "proved unwilling to subpoena documents like phone records, text messages, bank records and other key records so that we might determine the truth about the most significant attack on our democratic institutions in history," Schiff said.The report is also expected to turn the subject of collusion toward the Clinton campaign, saying an anti-Trump dossier compiled by a former British spy and paid for by Democrats was one way that Russians tried to influence the election. Conaway did not suggest that Clinton knowingly coordinated with the Russians, but said the dossier clearly "would have hurt him and helped her."He also said there was no evidence that anything "untoward" happened at a June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between members of the Trump campaign and Russians, though he called it ill-advised. Despite a promise of dirt on Clinton ahead of the meeting, there's no evidence that such material was exchanged, he said.The Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating the Russian intervention, is expected to have a bipartisan report out in the coming weeks dealing with election security. The Senate panel is expected to issue findings on the more controversial issue of coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia at a later date.The Senate Judiciary Committee, also investigating the meddling, is expected to release transcripts soon of closed-door interviews with several people who attended the 2016 meeting between the Trump campaign and Russians. It's unclear if the Judiciary panel will produce a final report.The congressional investigations are completely separate from special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, which is likely to take much longer. It has already resulted in charges against several people linked to Trump's campaign.___Associated Press writer Chad Day contributed to this report.
Federal environment minister says Saskatchewan will have carbon tax-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
REGINA — Canada's environment minister says Saskatchewan will be subject to a federal carbon tax if it doesn't sign on to a national climate change plan by the fall.Catherine McKenna says in a letter to her Saskatchewan counterpart, Dustin Duncan, that the province is best positioned to design a carbon-pricing approach that works for its situation."The other nine provinces have taken us up on that approach," she wrote. "It's unfortunate that your government has not yet chosen to do the same."I remain hopeful that you will change course ahead of the Sept. 1 deadline for all provinces and territories to submit their carbon-pricing plans."Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province has not changed its mind about being the lone holdout on Ottawa's pan-Canadian climate-change framework."We stand in exactly the same situation for quite some time now," Moe said in Regina on Monday.Moe met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday and the two "agree to disagree" on the carbon tax, he said."We'll see where that goes."McKenna said in her letter that Saskatchewan will be subject to a carbon tax, whether it signs on to the national plan or not."To be clear, we cannot accept your request not to price carbon in Saskatchewan," she said. "In the event that your government does not adopt a price on pollution that meets our standard, we would have no choice but to ensure that a price on pollution applies in Saskatchewan, just as we would anywhere else in the country."The federal government would apply its carbon pricing in Saskatchewan and would ensure any revenues raised stayed in the province, she said.Saskatchewan has already missed one deadline to sign on to the federal plan. McKenna has said that means the province won't get $62 million in funding for emissions-reduction programs.Both Moe and Duncan have said they will still apply for the money from the low-carbon fund.In her letter, McKenna said Saskatchewan's share now will be open to provinces, territories, municipalities, businesses, non-governmental organizations and Indigenous communities across Canada — including in Saskatchewan."Funding will be awarded to projects selected under a competitive process," she said. "I look forward to seeing excellent proposals come forward from your province."Ryan Meili, leader of Saskatchewan's Opposition NDP, said the government's unwillingness to engage with Ottawa has already cost the province $62 million."It's putting us at great risk of having a plan imposed on us designed in Ottawa, designed by Trudeau, rather than designed by the farmers, industry leaders and experts right here in Saskatchewan," Meili said.— By Colette Derworiz in Edmonton.

Bangladeshi plane crashes in Nepal, killing at least 49-[Reuters]-By Gopal Sharma-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - At least 49 people were killed on Monday when a Bangladeshi airliner crashed in cloudy weather as it came in to land at the Nepalese capital's hill-ringed airport, officials said.The chief executive officer of US-Bangla Airlines, Imran Asif, accused Kathmandu's air traffic control for giving wrong signals.But airport general manager Raj Kumar Chettri said the pilot disregarded their messages and came in from the wrong direction.Seventyone people were on board the plane arriving from Dhaka when it clipped the fence at Kathmandu and burst into flames, Chettri said.There were 33 Nepali passengers, 32 from Bangladesh, one from China and one from the Maldives."All of a sudden the plane shook violently and there was a loud bang," one of the survivors, Basanta Bohora, told the Kathmandu Post daily. "I was seated near a window and was able to break out of the window."The accident was the latest to hit mountainous Nepal, which has a poor record of air safety. Small aircraft ply an extensive domestic network and often run into trouble at remote airstrips."So far 49 people are dead and 22 are undergoing treatment at different hospitals," Sanjiv Gautam, executive director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), told reporters.Several people were rescued from the burning wreckage of the Bombardier Q400 series aircraft and are undergoing treatment at hospitals, army spokesman Gokul Bhandari said.Chettri said that moments after the plane received permission to land, the pilot said he wanted to go in a northern direction. Asked by the control tower if there was a problem, he replied in the negative.The plane was then seen making two rounds in a northeast direction, Chettri said. Traffic controllers again asked the pilot if things were OK, and he replied, "Yes".The tower then told the pilot his alignment was not correct, but there was no reply, Chettri added."The plane should have come from the right direction," Chettri said, adding that it hit the airport fence, touched the ground and then caught fire.It was not immediately clear if the pilot had issued a "Mayday" call, or distress signal.US-Bangla Airlines' Asif, however, said that wrong signals might have led to the crash."A three-minute conversation between the pilot and the air traffic control before the landing indicated that they sent wrong signal to the pilot," he told reporters in Dhaka.-SERIES OF ACCIDENTS-Many of the bodies that lay on the tarmac, covered with cloth, were charred, witnesses said. Thick plumes of smoke could be seen from the aircraft at the Tribhuvan International Airport.Those on board include 12 Nepali tour agents who were returning after an annual sales conference in Bangladesh, an official said.The aircraft that went down on Monday was 17 years old, data from tracking website Flightradar24.com showed. It descended to an airport altitude of 4,400 feet (1,341 m) and then climbed to 6,600 feet (2,012 m) before crashing about two minutes later, the website said.Bombardier said on Twitter it was saddened by the accident."Our thoughts are with those injured, and their families," it said.There have been a series of accidents at Kathmandu in the past.In March 2014, a flock of birds shattered the windshield of a Malaysia Airlines jet as it landed in Kathmandu. The same month, a rear wheel of an Airbus A320 operated by an Indian budget airline caught fire after landing.In 2012, a plane carrying trekkers to Mount Everest region hit a bird and crashed in Kathmandu, killing all on board.In 1992, all 113 people aboard were killed when a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok crashed while trying to land in Kathmandu.US-Bangla Airlines is a unit of the US-Bangla Group, a U.S. Bangladeshi joint venture company.The two pilots and two cabin crew were Bangladeshi nationals, airline spokesman Kamrul Islam said in Dhaka."Our team will fly to Nepal as soon as the airport is open," he added. "We are in touch with Nepali authorities."The Bangladeshi carrier, which launched operations in July 2014 with a slogan - "Fly Fast-Fly Safe", operates Bombardier and Boeing aircraft.(Additional reporting by Navesh Chitrakar; Ruma Paul in DHAKA; Sudarshan Varadhan and Aditi Shah in NEW DELHI; Writing by Krishna N.

Measles confirmed on recent Air Canada flight from Zurich to Toronto-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
TORONTO — Public health officials are investigating after they confirmed a passenger on a flight from Switzerland to Toronto had the measles.Toronto Public Health says it's confirmed a case of the measles in a passenger travelling on an Air Canada flight from Zurich to Toronto on Tuesday, March 6.This is the second such incident in less than a month: public health officials confirmed a case of measles in an infant on a Feb. 12 Air Canada flight, also from Zurich to Toronto.That two cases of measles would surface in less than a month is unusual, says Rita Shahin, associate medical officer of health for Toronto Public Health. But she doesn't think it's cause for concern."They're rare cases when we have an imported case of measles," she says. "I think it's just coincidence."The measles virus is highly contagious, but outbreaks are rare in Canada as most people are immunized. Shahin says only five cases were reported to Toronto Public Health last year, and most of them were travel-related.Other passengers on the March 6 flight may have been exposed to the measles, but Shahin says it's unlikely the virus spread significantly.The people who are most susceptible to the infection are infants who have not yet been vaccinated, people with illnesses that weaken their immune systems, and pregnant women.Symptoms include a high fever, coughing, runny nose, sore eyes, and skin rashes.Toronto Public Health advises people exhibiting symptoms to avoid work or school, and to contact a health care provider before going in for treatment.The Canadian Press.
This flu has already caused 18 deaths and 31 outbreaks, and the season is not over yet-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
Three times as many seniors have died of the flu this year compared to last year, and the number of outbreaks has quadrupled — and the season is far from over. Last year, seven flu outbreaks were declared at area homes — this year that number jumped to 31."We track flu-related deaths in those long-term care homes and last year we had six. This year we're up to 18, so that's a pretty significant number," explained Lora Piccinin, manager of infectious disease control at the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit.The number of lab-confirmed cases of flu is also far higher than the 160 recorded last season, according to Piccinin."We're not through the flu season and we're already at 272 which is double, so the number of flu cases that we're seeing is much more significant, the impact on the homes and the facilities is much more significant, the rate of flu-related deaths has definitely increased, so it's been a very difficult flu season for our community."That same spike has been measured at Windsor Regional Hospital, where staff struggled with overcrowding and outbreaks in several units during the winter months.A report from CEO David Musyj to board members for the month of March states predictions the flu season would be "more severe than in the past and far more prolonged" was "100% accurate."Musyj credited the hospital's new Patient Flow Improvement Plan with helping staff serve the surge of patients.Piccinin said she believes the flu was so bad this year because of strain mutations and more strains of Influenza B that the vaccine is not catching."There are a few things that are different this year. Normally we see a peak of flu A and B around December and January and then we have a second wave of flu B activity in March, but we've had flu B and A acclivity all through the season, so it hasn't mimicked past historical trends," she said. "What we're seeing is the numbers continue to come in and usually you'll really start seeing them taper off by the end of April. But right now we're still in flu season."

Sick and injured begin to leave besieged Syrian enclave in Ghouta-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Sick and injured civilians were shown on Syrian state television leaving a besieged rebel enclave in eastern Ghouta on Tuesday in what insurgents and the United Nations said was a medical evacuation.Women carrying small children, men hobbling on crutches and an old man in a wheelchair were shown walking among a group of Syrian soldiers near the al-Wafideen crossing point out of the enclave.The army's near month-old campaign of air and artillery strikes in the last big rebel bastion near the capital has killed more than 1,100 civilians, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says.Syrian government forces have captured more than half of eastern Ghouta, a pocket of satellite towns and densely populated farmland where the United Nations says 400,000 civilians have lived under siege since 2013. Advances in recent days have cut off the major towns Douma and Harasta from each other and neighboring areas, splitting eastern Ghouta into separate enclaves.Yasser Delwan, a political official with the Jaish al-Islam rebel faction, said the people who left Douma were the first of several batches of patients expected to be evacuated for treatment outside.The group had said on Monday it had reached an agreement, through the United Nations, with the government's key ally, Russia, to evacuate wounded people.The government assault on eastern Ghouta has become one of the biggest offensives of the war now entering its eighth year, and is on course to deal the rebels their biggest defeat since the battle of Aleppo in 2016.Russia has offered rebels safe passage out with their families if they surrender the territory, a tactic Damascus and Moscow have used elsewhere across Syria as they have recaptured more and more of the country since 2015.The two main Ghouta factions have so far vowed to stay and fight.Tuesday's evacuation was the first deal agreed by rebels with Russia and Damascus to allow civilians out since the start of the government offensive.But Hamza Birqdar, Jaish al-Islam's military spokesman, said in a video message online on Tuesday that the fighters would continue to defend the Ghouta till the end.The United Nations has called for the urgent evacuation of 1,000 patients in need of emergency medical care. It says it is worried about the entire population of the eastern Ghouta, where food and medicine were already running out before the assault began in mid-February.With the area now split into different parts by the army advance, Delwan said his rebel faction was in charge only of evacuations from Douma, and not from other towns.State television said the first group comprised about 35 people and they would go to a shelter on the outskirts of the nearby Syrian capital Damascus.Families are sleeping in the open in the streets in Douma with no more room in basements to shelter from the bombs, local authorities have said.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said government bombardment continued early on Tuesday in the southern part of the enclave, which includes the towns of Saqba, Kafr Batna and Jisreen.(Writing by Ellen Francis; Editing by Paul Tait, Raissa Kasolowsky and Peter Graff)
At least four dead in military kitchen bomb attack in Yemen: witnesses-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
ADEN (Reuters) - At least four people were killed in Yemen's port city of Aden on Tuesday when a car bomb ripped through a military kitchen used by Yemeni forces trained and backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), witnesses said.They said dozens more people were wounded in the blast. The witnesses said the blast was caused by a car laden with explosives, apparently driven by a suicide bomber towards the kitchen in al-Derain area in northern Aden.Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.It was the second attack of its kind targeting security forces in the city, where UAE forces from the Saudi-led coalition that has been operating in Yemen since 2015 hold sway.Islamic State last month claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the headquarters of a counter-terrorism unit in Aden that killed at least 14 people, including the attackers.Witnesses said rescuers were trying to pull out four charred bodies from the destroyed kitchen. The force of the blast damaged stores and cars nearby.The Saudi-led coalition, armed and backed by the West, joined the Yemen conflict in March 2015 after the Iran-aligned Houthi group pushed towards Aden, forcing the internationally-recognized President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile in Saudi Arabia.Last month, UAE-backed southern Yemeni forces wrested control of Aden from forces loyal to Hadi in several days of fighting that ended with a truce brokered by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.(Reporting by Mohammed Mukhashaf, Writing by Sami Aboudi, Editing by Angus MacSwan)
Police link two deadly package bombs in Austin, Texas, to earlier attack-[Reuters]-By Jon Herskovitz-YAHOONEWS-March 12, 2018
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Two package bombs left outside homes in Austin, Texas, exploded on Monday, killing a teenager and injuring two women in attacks that police linked to a deadly blast earlier this month.The latest bombings came as the Texas capital hosted its annual South by Southwest music, technology and film festival downtown. The victims in all three cases were African-American or Hispanic, and police said they were examining the attacks as possible hate crimes.In each of the three attacks, a cardboard package was left at the front of a private residence and exploded after an unwitting victim picked it up or tried to open it, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley told reporters.The packages that exploded on Monday were not delivered by any mainstream commercial shipping services, such as Federal Express or United Parcel Service, Manley said."We are looking at these incidents as being related," Manley said, adding that federal investigators had joined the search for suspects and a possible motive."We cannot rule out that hate crime is at the core of this, but we are not saying that that is the cause," Manley told a news conference.He warned residents to watch out for boxes left outside their homes and to report anything suspicious to police.The first explosion, on March 2, killed a 39-year-old black man at a house in the city's Harris Ridge neighborhood, which is home to technology companies and about 12 miles (19 km) northeast of downtown. The blast was powerful enough to blow out walls at the home's entryway.A 17-year-old African-American boy died on Monday when he found a package outside his house in east Austin and brought it into the kitchen of his home, where it exploded, Manley said.A woman in her 40s was in the home and injured by the blast, although she was expected to survive, police said.A second explosion, about 4 miles (6 km) away in southeastern Austin, injured a 75-year-old woman in the predominantly working-class Hispanic community of Montopolis, police said. A neighbor, Brandon Rendon, told Reuters the victim was in a wheelchair watering her grass before the blast occurred.Monday's attacks unfolded as the city was thronged by visitors to the South by Southwest Festival. On Monday afternoon, London Mayor Sadiq Khan delivered a keynote address at the event, which draws hundreds of thousands of people to the city each year.Manley said the bombings posed no threat to the festival, but he urged visitors to remain vigilant.(Additional reporting by Andrew Hay; Editing by Tom Brown and Peter Cooney)

A big one' - New England braces for third major storm in two weeks-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
BOSTON (Reuters) - A winter storm packing a powerful snowy punch bore down on the northeastern United States on Tuesday, closing schools, snarling travel and threatening to knock out power to thousands of homes and businesses.The nor'easter follows two storms that rumbled up the East Coast this month, killing at least nine people and knocking out power to about 2.4 million people and businesses at their peak.Winter storm warnings were in effect from Connecticut to Maine, the National Weather Service said, warning that cities including Boston could see as much as 18 inches (46 cm) of snow, far more than that dumped by the last two storms this month."We're gearing up for a major storm," Boston Mayor Marty Walsh told a news conference on Monday. "We haven't seen this type of storm since 2015...it seems like this one is going to be a big one."Schools in Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, were shut on Tuesday and the passenger rail line Amtrak planned to halt service between Boston and New York.The National Weather Service in New York warned that during the storm's peak, snow could fall at a rate of up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) an hour, making travel treacherous."The snow is beginning to overspread the area and pick up in intensity," it said in a Twitter message. "Conditions will continue to deteriorate through the early morning."Nor'easters are storms that typically bring strong winds from the northeast, and they tend to occur most often and most violently between September and April along North America's East Coast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says.Some nor'easters carry hurricane-force winds.Winds are expected to reach 65 miles (105 km) per hour, the weather service said.This storm's heavy snow could down trees weakened by the last two storms and bring a fresh wave of power outages, officials warned.Lower tides meant the storm would probably not bring a repeat of the flooding that sent icy water pouring into the streets of Boston during a storm early this month, forecasters and officials said.(Reporting by Scott Malone; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)

Explosion strikes Palestinian PM's convoy in Gaza-[The Canadian Press-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
JABALIA, Palestinian Territory — An explosion struck the convoy of the Palestinian prime minister Tuesday as he was making a rare visit to Gaza, in what his Fatah party called an assassination attempt it blamed on Gaza militants.The explosion went off shortly after the convoy entered Gaza through the Erez crossing with Israel. Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah was unharmed and went on to inaugurate a long-awaited sewage plant project in the northern part of the strip. But Fatah quickly held Gaza's Islamic Hamas rulers responsible for the "cowardly attack" on the convoy, further escalating tensions between the bitter rival factions.Three of the vehicles in Hamdallah's convoy were damaged, their windows blown out. One had signs of blood on the door.Hamdallah, who is based in the West Bank, arrived in Hamas-run Gaza to inaugurate the sewage plant and said there that the attack will "not deter from seeking to end the bitter split. We will still come to Gaza."The rival factions have been trying to reconcile since 2007 when Hamas seized control of Gaza from Fatah forces and have suffered several setbacks in their efforts since. The takeover left the Palestinians with two rival governments, Hamas in Gaza and the Western-backed Palestinian Authority governing autonomous enclaves in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.In November, Hamas handed over control of Gaza's border crossings to the Palestinian Authority. It was the first tangible concession in years of Egyptian-brokered reconciliation talks. But negotiations have bogged down since then.Hamdallah's visit comes amid a time fo crisis in Gaza. On Tuesday, the White House is hosting a special meeting to discuss Gaza's devastated economy.The plant in question was envisioned in 2007 after overburdened sewage reservoirs collapsed, killing five villagers.The World Bank, European Union and other European governments have paid nearly $75 million in funding. Hamas' takeover of Gaza from the Palestinian Authority in 2007 and the ensuing Israeli-Egyptian blockade, power shortages and conflicts delayed the opening of the project for four years.Besides the old reservoirs, the plant will receive wastewater from four towns and villages. After treatment, the water will be transferred for irrigation and the remainder will be safely dumped to the sea.Fares Akram, The Associated Press.

Opinion-German underspend on defence to blame for Trump tariffs By Tomasz Wlostowski-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, 13. Mar, 17:42-President Trump's recent imposition of unilateral tariffs on steel and aluminium imports is extremely reckless and most likely illegal under WTO law.The fault for any potential global trade conflagration would be mainly his. But this does not absolve the European Union from maturity and strategic thinking.The United States has been Europe's only major reliable ally for at least a century. We rely on the US for protection from most dire threats. Competing centres of power already pose major geopolitical challenges and wait to pounce on any conflict between EU and US.US would be weakened without Europe, but would survive. Without US, EU in its current form would cease to exist.In this light, the EU's immediate response to president Trump's announcement on tariffs has been counter-productive, emotional, and lacking in strategic thinking.Canada and Mexico have since secured an exemption, while Australia appears to get one soon.EU made bad situation worse-Instead, the EU response has resulted in Trump twice threatening EU with additional restrictions on cars should the situation escalate. No other country has been so threatened. We made a bad situation worse.Reorganisation of international affairs and trade was president Trump's campaign promise. He pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership & Paris Climate Agreement, threatened NAFTA, and blocked the WTO Appellate Body.Trump won his campaign in states where increasing mechanisation, new technologies and imports decimated manufacturing. He is fighting globalisation and WTO's inability to stop China's state capitalism.Steel tariffs are not about the EU, they are about US politics. Any real solution to them will also come from US politics.Trump's target is Chinese steel and aluminium overcapacity. He is isolating the US from global effects of Chinese distortions.The US commerce secretary observed recently that Chinese exports to third countries dislodge domestic demand, resulting in exports to US, adding: "Too much time has been spent just talking about steel overcapacity, very little time has been spent doing anything about it. We are taking the leadership […] to deal with this chronic overcapacity problem."While the EU may dislike the approach taken by the US, China is a major challenge for EU industry.Instead of a distracting trade confrontation with America, the EU should minimise its effects focusing on the real target: Chinese distortions.The EU leadership generally dismisses president Trump. But US citizens, not EU elites, elect US leaders.We owe Trump the respect we give the United States. Trump's 'Section 232' action is taken pursuant to a statutory mandate from US Congress.Until Congress intervenes, which it may, we must deal with tariffs as US policy, not some flaky whim of one unstable despot.In this context, EU retaliation list is shameful. As a US special prosecutor accuses Russia of orchestrating an attack on US election system by stocking political polarisation, EU – supposedly 'an ally' – attacks key electorates to obtain a political result? The EU claims it is not the enemy. But the US claims that the destruction of US steel industry by imports – not the EU – threatens US security.Let us imagine the unthinkable. World War III: missiles, bombing raids, submarines, torpedoes. Will Japan or Germany reliably supply the US with steel or aluminium? When the US is responsible for world order, it is not up to us – given that we rely on US defence to guarantee our own safety – to question what US needs for its defence.-Security relationship-President Trump foresees future exemptions for countries that have a "security relationship" with US if they address in other ways the impairment to US security resulting from imports.In the past, he complained of EU countries' insufficient military spending, overburdening the US, allowing these countries to focus on their domestic spending priorities.Defence funding does not go to transport infrastructure, education, research, and other things impacting the competitiveness of economy.Linking military spending to trade competitiveness, even if far-fetched, is not entirely wrong. Treating the tariff dispute strictly as a trade issue is therefore unlikely to satisfy the US.In addition, the EU institutions will not be fully impartial. The European Commission has exclusive competence on trade issues, but plays a limited role on defence.Focus on defence spending would deprive the commission of a central role in the dispute, empowering national governments, whose US security relationship and military spending levels vary.The UK government would need no help from the commission to get out of the duties, while Germany would probably need all the help it can get.This is the crux of the problem. Germany, the EU giant, is the country most endangered by Trump's tariffs and rhetoric.It is the largest EU exporter of steel and aluminium to US, has the largest surplus with the US and spends too little on defence.Two other exporters, UK meets its share, while France is almost there. But Germany, Netherlands and Spain are below the two percent NATO threshold.While Germany alone could most likely resolve this issue through direct talks with the United States, it and the commission want to keep the dispute as a strictly trade issue, pulling the entire EU into the spat.Trump's latest tweets suggest this approach is unlikely to yield good results.There is no doubt that Trump's action is hostile, ill-conceived, internally inconsistent and most likely illegal.But as it cannot be quickly reversed without escalating into a major confrontation, the key question is whether the EU – keeping its focus on Chinese distortions, revamping the WTO and geopolitical stability of the global order – should not exercise strategic patience hoping that the next occupier of the White House will be less hostile and stand down.Tomasz Wlostowski is a Brussels-based dual-trained US & EU attorney practicing regulatory and international trade law.
Opinion-Let's put peace at the heart of the development debate By Anastasia Kyriacou-EUOBSERVER
LONDON, 13. Mar, 09:16-As aid is increasingly spent less in the least developed countries, a new report by Concord has revealed the EU is diverting an increasing proportion of spending towards conflict and security - to the point it has in the last decade outpaced all aid growth.The amount and allocation of overseas development assistance (ODA) have always been contentious issues, but the recent Oxfam sex abuse revelations propelled the sector into the spotlight like never before.Within a sobering climate of crisis and uncertainty, leaders from across the community gathered at the London-based international development conference to exchange ideas about how the sector must move forward.UK secretary of state for international development, Penny Mordaunt, said it has been our "failure to put the beneficiaries of aid first", that has caused us to stray from delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.The solution she proposed, is for the department for international development (DfID) to cooperate more closely with the ministry of defence.However, this is in direct contrast to a number of international NGO leaders who disagree with further merging development agendas with military expansion.The current development model requires a radical change in approach that drives forward programmes with values of human rights, biodiversity and peace-building at their core.-Cultivate earth democracy-With an ecosystem that is already 80 percent destroyed and unprecedented widespread global displacement, it is necessary to shift towards a biodiversity paradigm that promotes what environmental activist Vandana Shiva refers to as "earth democracy", through co-empowering, co-creating and co-producing.Citing Bhutan as exemplary, the biodiversity advocate urges a greater respect for culture, protecting forests and measuring wellbeing as opposed to GDP; the most powerful number that rules our life, but increases poverty and worsens life.Shiva insists that "poverty, malnutrition and education is all achievable by respecting the earth", but if we continue to build structures by ruining the foundations, the entire system will collapse.-Centralise women's rights-Inevitably, international aid and development is a matter of transforming power relations and the distribution of power around the world, which is why the director of programmes at the African Women's Development Fund, Jessica Horn is resolute about women's rights being central to our vision in order for progress to occur.Horn asserted the need to rethink discourses of security, considering a third of women experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime as a proportionately bigger issue than terrorism.It is imperative for money to be spent less on armies and more for humans, because "I can tell you as an African, we don't need any more guns", she stressed.-Prioritise peace-building-Conflicts drive 80 percent of all humanitarian needs and according to International Alert, the share of global poverty in fragile states is projected to increase to 80 percent by 2035.The organisation's chief, Harriet Lamb consequently calls on governments to establish specific funds to aid politics and economics in affected areas - emphasising that "peace impact must run through everything we do."In the alarming climate of more people dying in wars today than they have in the past 25 years, in conjunction with the ever-shrinking space for civil society particularly in fragile states, we must encourage more solidarity and less armed services delivery.Using Mali as an example of where a hard security response and exclusion of the Tuareg people prevents development, Lamb outlined the illogical spending distribution of less than one percent on peace-building in comparison to the military.-Security vs civil society-There is a clear consensus within the sector that aid and development organisational frameworks must shift away from security to a model that promotes peace, human rights and biodiversity.The UK government's pledge to strengthen military relations to improve global security demonstrates a lack of communication with the very people carrying out the work.We cannot expect to achieve a single UN Sustainable Development Goal if policymakers continue to ignore the recommendations of experts, so why are they not listening? As the Concord report outlines, aid spending is often determined by EU political leaders who implement reactive, crisis-response decisions that are results-driven – such as terror attacks or refugee movements.Consequently, donor countries are focusing more and more on national security interests as opposed to the development of insecure countries. "Only by realising development goals driven by our partner countries can we create the preconditions for long lasting peaceful societies", the report states.Moving forward, the clash in values been civil society and policymakers may present challenges for organisations who rely on government funding streams, while an increasingly military-heavy agenda is likely to further distort the public's perception of the purpose of aid.Ultimately, true global progress requires politicians around the world to understand that prioritising empowering local civil society organisations and supporting partner governments to promote human rights, is critical to improving security in all countries and relations with fragile states.After all, shifting focus away from the very people living in poverty is in direct contradiction to the purpose.Anastasia Kyriacou works for AidEx.
Draft GOP report: No coordination between Trump and Russia-[Associated Press]-MARY CLARE JALONICK-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have completed a draft report concluding there was no collusion or coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, a finding that pleased the White House but enraged Democrats who had not yet seen the document.After a yearlong investigation, Texas Rep. Mike Conaway announced Monday that the committee has finished interviewing witnesses and will share the report with Democrats for the first time Tuesday. Conaway is the Republican leading the House probe, one of several investigations on Russian meddling in the 2016 elections."We found no evidence of collusion," Conaway told reporters, suggesting that those who believe there was collusion are reading too many spy novels. "We found perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment in taking meetings. But only Tom Clancy or Vince Flynn or someone else like that could take this series of inadvertent contacts with each other, or meetings or whatever, and weave that into sort of a fiction page-turner, spy thriller."Hours later, Trump tweeted his own headline of the report in excited capital letters: "THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION."Conaway previewed some of the conclusions, but said the public will not see the report until Democrats have reviewed it and the intelligence community has decided what information can become public, a process that could take weeks. Democrats are expected to issue a separate report with far different conclusions.In addition to the statement on coordination with Russians, the draft challenges an assessment made after the 2016 election that Russian meddling was an effort to help Trump. The January 2017 assessment revealed that the FBI, CIA and NSA had concluded that the Russian government, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, waged a covert influence campaign to interfere in the election with the goal of hurting Democrat Hillary Clinton's candidacy and helping Trump's campaign.House Intelligence Committee officials said they spent hundreds of hours reviewing raw source material used by the intelligence services in the assessment and that it did not meet the appropriate standards to make the claim about helping Trump. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the intelligence material.Conaway said there will be a second report just dealing with the intelligence assessment and its credibility.The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement soon after the GOP announcement, saying it stood by the intelligence community's findings. DNI spokesman Brian Hale said the office will review the findings of the committee's report.According to Conaway, the report will agree with the intelligence assessment on most other details, including that Russians did meddle in the election. It will detail Russian cyberattacks on U.S. institutions during the election and the use of social media to sow discord. It will also show a pattern of Russian attacks on European allies — information that could be redacted in the final report. And it will blame officials in President Barack Obama's administration for a "lackluster" response and look at leaks from the intelligence community to the media.It will include at least 25 recommendations, including how to improve election security, respond to cyberattacks and improve counterintelligence efforts.Democrats have criticized Republicans on the committee for shortening the investigation, pointing to multiple contacts between Trump's campaign and Russia and saying they have seen far too few witnesses to make any judgment on collusion. The Democrats and Republicans have openly fought throughout the investigation, with Democrats suggesting a cover-up for a Republican president and one GOP member of the panel calling the probe "poison" for the previously bipartisan panel.The top Democrat on the intelligence panel, California Rep. Adam Schiff, suggested that by wrapping up the probe the Republicans were protecting Trump. He called the development a "tragic milestone" and said history would judge them harshly.Republicans "proved unwilling to subpoena documents like phone records, text messages, bank records and other key records so that we might determine the truth about the most significant attack on our democratic institutions in history," Schiff said.The report is also expected to turn the subject of collusion toward the Clinton campaign, saying an anti-Trump dossier compiled by a former British spy and paid for by Democrats was one way that Russians tried to influence the election. Conaway did not suggest that Clinton knowingly coordinated with the Russians, but said the dossier clearly "would have hurt him and helped her."He also said there was no evidence that anything "untoward" happened at a June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between members of the Trump campaign and Russians, though he called it ill-advised. Despite a promise of dirt on Clinton ahead of the meeting, there's no evidence that such material was exchanged, he said.The Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating the Russian intervention, is expected to have a bipartisan report out in the coming weeks dealing with election security. The Senate panel is expected to issue findings on the more controversial issue of coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia at a later date.The Senate Judiciary Committee, also investigating the meddling, is expected to release transcripts soon of closed-door interviews with several people who attended the 2016 meeting between the Trump campaign and Russians. It's unclear if the Judiciary panel will produce a final report.The congressional investigations are completely separate from special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, which is likely to take much longer. It has already resulted in charges against several people linked to Trump's campaign.___Associated Press writer Chad Day contributed to this report.
Federal environment minister says Saskatchewan will have carbon tax-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
REGINA — Canada's environment minister says Saskatchewan will be subject to a federal carbon tax if it doesn't sign on to a national climate change plan by the fall.Catherine McKenna says in a letter to her Saskatchewan counterpart, Dustin Duncan, that the province is best positioned to design a carbon-pricing approach that works for its situation."The other nine provinces have taken us up on that approach," she wrote. "It's unfortunate that your government has not yet chosen to do the same."I remain hopeful that you will change course ahead of the Sept. 1 deadline for all provinces and territories to submit their carbon-pricing plans."Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province has not changed its mind about being the lone holdout on Ottawa's pan-Canadian climate-change framework."We stand in exactly the same situation for quite some time now," Moe said in Regina on Monday.Moe met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday and the two "agree to disagree" on the carbon tax, he said."We'll see where that goes."McKenna said in her letter that Saskatchewan will be subject to a carbon tax, whether it signs on to the national plan or not."To be clear, we cannot accept your request not to price carbon in Saskatchewan," she said. "In the event that your government does not adopt a price on pollution that meets our standard, we would have no choice but to ensure that a price on pollution applies in Saskatchewan, just as we would anywhere else in the country."The federal government would apply its carbon pricing in Saskatchewan and would ensure any revenues raised stayed in the province, she said.Saskatchewan has already missed one deadline to sign on to the federal plan. McKenna has said that means the province won't get $62 million in funding for emissions-reduction programs.Both Moe and Duncan have said they will still apply for the money from the low-carbon fund.In her letter, McKenna said Saskatchewan's share now will be open to provinces, territories, municipalities, businesses, non-governmental organizations and Indigenous communities across Canada — including in Saskatchewan."Funding will be awarded to projects selected under a competitive process," she said. "I look forward to seeing excellent proposals come forward from your province."Ryan Meili, leader of Saskatchewan's Opposition NDP, said the government's unwillingness to engage with Ottawa has already cost the province $62 million."It's putting us at great risk of having a plan imposed on us designed in Ottawa, designed by Trudeau, rather than designed by the farmers, industry leaders and experts right here in Saskatchewan," Meili said.— By Colette Derworiz in Edmonton.

Bangladeshi plane crashes in Nepal, killing at least 49-[Reuters]-By Gopal Sharma-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - At least 49 people were killed on Monday when a Bangladeshi airliner crashed in cloudy weather as it came in to land at the Nepalese capital's hill-ringed airport, officials said.The chief executive officer of US-Bangla Airlines, Imran Asif, accused Kathmandu's air traffic control for giving wrong signals.But airport general manager Raj Kumar Chettri said the pilot disregarded their messages and came in from the wrong direction.Seventyone people were on board the plane arriving from Dhaka when it clipped the fence at Kathmandu and burst into flames, Chettri said.There were 33 Nepali passengers, 32 from Bangladesh, one from China and one from the Maldives."All of a sudden the plane shook violently and there was a loud bang," one of the survivors, Basanta Bohora, told the Kathmandu Post daily. "I was seated near a window and was able to break out of the window."The accident was the latest to hit mountainous Nepal, which has a poor record of air safety. Small aircraft ply an extensive domestic network and often run into trouble at remote airstrips."So far 49 people are dead and 22 are undergoing treatment at different hospitals," Sanjiv Gautam, executive director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), told reporters.Several people were rescued from the burning wreckage of the Bombardier Q400 series aircraft and are undergoing treatment at hospitals, army spokesman Gokul Bhandari said.Chettri said that moments after the plane received permission to land, the pilot said he wanted to go in a northern direction. Asked by the control tower if there was a problem, he replied in the negative.The plane was then seen making two rounds in a northeast direction, Chettri said. Traffic controllers again asked the pilot if things were OK, and he replied, "Yes".The tower then told the pilot his alignment was not correct, but there was no reply, Chettri added."The plane should have come from the right direction," Chettri said, adding that it hit the airport fence, touched the ground and then caught fire.It was not immediately clear if the pilot had issued a "Mayday" call, or distress signal.US-Bangla Airlines' Asif, however, said that wrong signals might have led to the crash."A three-minute conversation between the pilot and the air traffic control before the landing indicated that they sent wrong signal to the pilot," he told reporters in Dhaka.-SERIES OF ACCIDENTS-Many of the bodies that lay on the tarmac, covered with cloth, were charred, witnesses said. Thick plumes of smoke could be seen from the aircraft at the Tribhuvan International Airport.Those on board include 12 Nepali tour agents who were returning after an annual sales conference in Bangladesh, an official said.The aircraft that went down on Monday was 17 years old, data from tracking website Flightradar24.com showed. It descended to an airport altitude of 4,400 feet (1,341 m) and then climbed to 6,600 feet (2,012 m) before crashing about two minutes later, the website said.Bombardier said on Twitter it was saddened by the accident."Our thoughts are with those injured, and their families," it said.There have been a series of accidents at Kathmandu in the past.In March 2014, a flock of birds shattered the windshield of a Malaysia Airlines jet as it landed in Kathmandu. The same month, a rear wheel of an Airbus A320 operated by an Indian budget airline caught fire after landing.In 2012, a plane carrying trekkers to Mount Everest region hit a bird and crashed in Kathmandu, killing all on board.In 1992, all 113 people aboard were killed when a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok crashed while trying to land in Kathmandu.US-Bangla Airlines is a unit of the US-Bangla Group, a U.S. Bangladeshi joint venture company.The two pilots and two cabin crew were Bangladeshi nationals, airline spokesman Kamrul Islam said in Dhaka."Our team will fly to Nepal as soon as the airport is open," he added. "We are in touch with Nepali authorities."The Bangladeshi carrier, which launched operations in July 2014 with a slogan - "Fly Fast-Fly Safe", operates Bombardier and Boeing aircraft.(Additional reporting by Navesh Chitrakar; Ruma Paul in DHAKA; Sudarshan Varadhan and Aditi Shah in NEW DELHI; Writing by Krishna N.

Measles confirmed on recent Air Canada flight from Zurich to Toronto-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
TORONTO — Public health officials are investigating after they confirmed a passenger on a flight from Switzerland to Toronto had the measles.Toronto Public Health says it's confirmed a case of the measles in a passenger travelling on an Air Canada flight from Zurich to Toronto on Tuesday, March 6.This is the second such incident in less than a month: public health officials confirmed a case of measles in an infant on a Feb. 12 Air Canada flight, also from Zurich to Toronto.That two cases of measles would surface in less than a month is unusual, says Rita Shahin, associate medical officer of health for Toronto Public Health. But she doesn't think it's cause for concern."They're rare cases when we have an imported case of measles," she says. "I think it's just coincidence."The measles virus is highly contagious, but outbreaks are rare in Canada as most people are immunized. Shahin says only five cases were reported to Toronto Public Health last year, and most of them were travel-related.Other passengers on the March 6 flight may have been exposed to the measles, but Shahin says it's unlikely the virus spread significantly.The people who are most susceptible to the infection are infants who have not yet been vaccinated, people with illnesses that weaken their immune systems, and pregnant women.Symptoms include a high fever, coughing, runny nose, sore eyes, and skin rashes.Toronto Public Health advises people exhibiting symptoms to avoid work or school, and to contact a health care provider before going in for treatment.The Canadian Press.
This flu has already caused 18 deaths and 31 outbreaks, and the season is not over yet-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
Three times as many seniors have died of the flu this year compared to last year, and the number of outbreaks has quadrupled — and the season is far from over. Last year, seven flu outbreaks were declared at area homes — this year that number jumped to 31."We track flu-related deaths in those long-term care homes and last year we had six. This year we're up to 18, so that's a pretty significant number," explained Lora Piccinin, manager of infectious disease control at the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit.The number of lab-confirmed cases of flu is also far higher than the 160 recorded last season, according to Piccinin."We're not through the flu season and we're already at 272 which is double, so the number of flu cases that we're seeing is much more significant, the impact on the homes and the facilities is much more significant, the rate of flu-related deaths has definitely increased, so it's been a very difficult flu season for our community."That same spike has been measured at Windsor Regional Hospital, where staff struggled with overcrowding and outbreaks in several units during the winter months.A report from CEO David Musyj to board members for the month of March states predictions the flu season would be "more severe than in the past and far more prolonged" was "100% accurate."Musyj credited the hospital's new Patient Flow Improvement Plan with helping staff serve the surge of patients.Piccinin said she believes the flu was so bad this year because of strain mutations and more strains of Influenza B that the vaccine is not catching."There are a few things that are different this year. Normally we see a peak of flu A and B around December and January and then we have a second wave of flu B activity in March, but we've had flu B and A acclivity all through the season, so it hasn't mimicked past historical trends," she said. "What we're seeing is the numbers continue to come in and usually you'll really start seeing them taper off by the end of April. But right now we're still in flu season."

Sick and injured begin to leave besieged Syrian enclave in Ghouta-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Sick and injured civilians were shown on Syrian state television leaving a besieged rebel enclave in eastern Ghouta on Tuesday in what insurgents and the United Nations said was a medical evacuation.Women carrying small children, men hobbling on crutches and an old man in a wheelchair were shown walking among a group of Syrian soldiers near the al-Wafideen crossing point out of the enclave.The army's near month-old campaign of air and artillery strikes in the last big rebel bastion near the capital has killed more than 1,100 civilians, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says.Syrian government forces have captured more than half of eastern Ghouta, a pocket of satellite towns and densely populated farmland where the United Nations says 400,000 civilians have lived under siege since 2013. Advances in recent days have cut off the major towns Douma and Harasta from each other and neighboring areas, splitting eastern Ghouta into separate enclaves.Yasser Delwan, a political official with the Jaish al-Islam rebel faction, said the people who left Douma were the first of several batches of patients expected to be evacuated for treatment outside.The group had said on Monday it had reached an agreement, through the United Nations, with the government's key ally, Russia, to evacuate wounded people.The government assault on eastern Ghouta has become one of the biggest offensives of the war now entering its eighth year, and is on course to deal the rebels their biggest defeat since the battle of Aleppo in 2016.Russia has offered rebels safe passage out with their families if they surrender the territory, a tactic Damascus and Moscow have used elsewhere across Syria as they have recaptured more and more of the country since 2015.The two main Ghouta factions have so far vowed to stay and fight.Tuesday's evacuation was the first deal agreed by rebels with Russia and Damascus to allow civilians out since the start of the government offensive.But Hamza Birqdar, Jaish al-Islam's military spokesman, said in a video message online on Tuesday that the fighters would continue to defend the Ghouta till the end.The United Nations has called for the urgent evacuation of 1,000 patients in need of emergency medical care. It says it is worried about the entire population of the eastern Ghouta, where food and medicine were already running out before the assault began in mid-February.With the area now split into different parts by the army advance, Delwan said his rebel faction was in charge only of evacuations from Douma, and not from other towns.State television said the first group comprised about 35 people and they would go to a shelter on the outskirts of the nearby Syrian capital Damascus.Families are sleeping in the open in the streets in Douma with no more room in basements to shelter from the bombs, local authorities have said.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said government bombardment continued early on Tuesday in the southern part of the enclave, which includes the towns of Saqba, Kafr Batna and Jisreen.(Writing by Ellen Francis; Editing by Paul Tait, Raissa Kasolowsky and Peter Graff)
At least four dead in military kitchen bomb attack in Yemen: witnesses-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
ADEN (Reuters) - At least four people were killed in Yemen's port city of Aden on Tuesday when a car bomb ripped through a military kitchen used by Yemeni forces trained and backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), witnesses said.They said dozens more people were wounded in the blast. The witnesses said the blast was caused by a car laden with explosives, apparently driven by a suicide bomber towards the kitchen in al-Derain area in northern Aden.Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.It was the second attack of its kind targeting security forces in the city, where UAE forces from the Saudi-led coalition that has been operating in Yemen since 2015 hold sway.Islamic State last month claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the headquarters of a counter-terrorism unit in Aden that killed at least 14 people, including the attackers.Witnesses said rescuers were trying to pull out four charred bodies from the destroyed kitchen. The force of the blast damaged stores and cars nearby.The Saudi-led coalition, armed and backed by the West, joined the Yemen conflict in March 2015 after the Iran-aligned Houthi group pushed towards Aden, forcing the internationally-recognized President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile in Saudi Arabia.Last month, UAE-backed southern Yemeni forces wrested control of Aden from forces loyal to Hadi in several days of fighting that ended with a truce brokered by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.(Reporting by Mohammed Mukhashaf, Writing by Sami Aboudi, Editing by Angus MacSwan)
Police link two deadly package bombs in Austin, Texas, to earlier attack-[Reuters]-By Jon Herskovitz-YAHOONEWS-March 12, 2018
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Two package bombs left outside homes in Austin, Texas, exploded on Monday, killing a teenager and injuring two women in attacks that police linked to a deadly blast earlier this month.The latest bombings came as the Texas capital hosted its annual South by Southwest music, technology and film festival downtown. The victims in all three cases were African-American or Hispanic, and police said they were examining the attacks as possible hate crimes.In each of the three attacks, a cardboard package was left at the front of a private residence and exploded after an unwitting victim picked it up or tried to open it, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley told reporters.The packages that exploded on Monday were not delivered by any mainstream commercial shipping services, such as Federal Express or United Parcel Service, Manley said."We are looking at these incidents as being related," Manley said, adding that federal investigators had joined the search for suspects and a possible motive."We cannot rule out that hate crime is at the core of this, but we are not saying that that is the cause," Manley told a news conference.He warned residents to watch out for boxes left outside their homes and to report anything suspicious to police.The first explosion, on March 2, killed a 39-year-old black man at a house in the city's Harris Ridge neighborhood, which is home to technology companies and about 12 miles (19 km) northeast of downtown. The blast was powerful enough to blow out walls at the home's entryway.A 17-year-old African-American boy died on Monday when he found a package outside his house in east Austin and brought it into the kitchen of his home, where it exploded, Manley said.A woman in her 40s was in the home and injured by the blast, although she was expected to survive, police said.A second explosion, about 4 miles (6 km) away in southeastern Austin, injured a 75-year-old woman in the predominantly working-class Hispanic community of Montopolis, police said. A neighbor, Brandon Rendon, told Reuters the victim was in a wheelchair watering her grass before the blast occurred.Monday's attacks unfolded as the city was thronged by visitors to the South by Southwest Festival. On Monday afternoon, London Mayor Sadiq Khan delivered a keynote address at the event, which draws hundreds of thousands of people to the city each year.Manley said the bombings posed no threat to the festival, but he urged visitors to remain vigilant.(Additional reporting by Andrew Hay; Editing by Tom Brown and Peter Cooney)

A big one' - New England braces for third major storm in two weeks-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 13, 2018
BOSTON (Reuters) - A winter storm packing a powerful snowy punch bore down on the northeastern United States on Tuesday, closing schools, snarling travel and threatening to knock out power to thousands of homes and businesses.The nor'easter follows two storms that rumbled up the East Coast this month, killing at least nine people and knocking out power to about 2.4 million people and businesses at their peak.Winter storm warnings were in effect from Connecticut to Maine, the National Weather Service said, warning that cities including Boston could see as much as 18 inches (46 cm) of snow, far more than that dumped by the last two storms this month."We're gearing up for a major storm," Boston Mayor Marty Walsh told a news conference on Monday. "We haven't seen this type of storm since 2015...it seems like this one is going to be a big one."Schools in Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, were shut on Tuesday and the passenger rail line Amtrak planned to halt service between Boston and New York.The National Weather Service in New York warned that during the storm's peak, snow could fall at a rate of up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) an hour, making travel treacherous."The snow is beginning to overspread the area and pick up in intensity," it said in a Twitter message. "Conditions will continue to deteriorate through the early morning."Nor'easters are storms that typically bring strong winds from the northeast, and they tend to occur most often and most violently between September and April along North America's East Coast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says.Some nor'easters carry hurricane-force winds.Winds are expected to reach 65 miles (105 km) per hour, the weather service said.This storm's heavy snow could down trees weakened by the last two storms and bring a fresh wave of power outages, officials warned.Lower tides meant the storm would probably not bring a repeat of the flooding that sent icy water pouring into the streets of Boston during a storm early this month, forecasters and officials said.(Reporting by Scott Malone; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)
