Merkel backs Israel’s demand that Iranian troops be removed from Syria-Meeting with Netanyahu in Berlin, chancellor says Iran's regional influence is 'worrying'; PM warns of 'new religious war' in Mideast-By Raphael Ahren-JUN 5,18
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that she agreed with Israel’s demand that Iranian troops be removed from Syria, especially the area close to the Israeli border.“Iran’s regional influence is worrying,” she said.Announcing at a joint press conference in Berlin that she and other government representatives planned to visit Israel in early October, Merkel said that “one has to discuss” Tehran’s presence in Syria. She also condemned the Islamic Republic’s heavily anti-Israel tweets.On Sunday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the Jewish state the “cancerous tumor” of the region that must be “removed and eradicated.”Still, Merkel defended the nuclear deal signed in 2015 by Iran and world powers — and opposed all along by Israel — arguing that it made the world a better place.US President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal on May 8, with Netanyahu’s enthusiastic encouragement and support.Both the US and Israel hope that Trump’s withdrawal can lead all sides into addressing what they say are the deal’s shortcomings — including “sunset” provisions that eventually end restrictions on Iranian nuclear activities, such as enriching uranium, as well as permitting Iran to continue to develop long-range missiles.Merkel, like other European leaders with whom Netanyahu is set to meet later this week, has urged Trump to remain in the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.As he took off for Berlin on Monday, the first leg of a series of visits with European leaders, Netanyahu indicated that Iran would be the first and only subject on his agenda.Intent on winning support for amending the nuclear deal with Iran and getting Iranian troops out of Syria, the prime minister will also meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May, both of whose countries are signatories to the deal.At Monday’s press conference, the two leaders agreed that it was important for the International Atomic Energy Agency to review a secret Iranian nuclear archive that Israel smuggled out of Tehran earlier this year and which Netanyahu announced to the world with great fanfare at the end of April.Netanyahu warned Merkel that Iran’s presence in Syria should also worry Germany, given that Shiite militias there were intent on converting Sunni Muslims to their creed, with the result that a “new religious war” would break out in the Middle East and send further waves of refugees to Europe.Israel fears that as the Syrian civil war winds down, Iran, whose forces and Shiite proxies have backed President Bashar Assad, will turn its focus to Israel.The Israeli Air Force is believed to have carried out a number of airstrikes on Iranian positions in Syria. Last month, the bitter enemies openly clashed when Iran fired dozens of rockets at Israeli positions in the Golan Heights, and Israel responded by striking several Iranian targets in Syria.Last week, it was reported that Israel and Russia had reached a deal to remove Iranian forces from southern Syria, while also giving Israel a green light to strike Iranian targets in Syria.The reported agreement would see Iranian forces leave southwestern Syria, while allowing Israel to strike Iranian assets deep in the country. Israel agreed not to attack Syrian regime targets, a report in the Arabic Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper said.Turning to the issue of long-dormant peace talks with the Palestinians, Netanyahu said, “Our hand is always extended in peace,” while arguing that Israel’s improving relationships with Arab states were “most promising route.”Merkel said, “There isn’t agreement on all points. But we’re partners, we’re friends.”While the German leader reiterated the need for a two-state solution, Netanyahu said there would be no progress until the Palestinians recognized the right of the Jewish state to exist.
Rivlin calls on Abbas to condemn Gaza kite attacks-President also wishes PA leader happy Ramadan and successful recovery after hospitalization-By TOI staff-JUN 5,18
President Reuven Rivlin called Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas on Monday and asking him to condemn the airborne arson attacks on the Gaza border and attempts to cross into Israel.“The terror coming from Gaza is a problem for both sides and we should hear your voice on this matter,” Rivlin said, according to Hebrew media reports. “We have to see how to stop the arson and infiltration of the border fence.”The president also wished Abbas a happy Ramadan and successful recovery following his hospitalization last month.The PA’s official Wafa news agency only reported on the latter part of the conversation.Abbas was admitted on May 20 to the Istishari Arab Hospital near Ramallah in the West Bank with complications following an ear operation, including high fever.Officials later confirmed he was being treated for pneumonia.Fires caused by kites and helium balloons rigged with incendiary devices or attached to burning rags and launched over the border have become almost daily occurrences for residents of southern Israel since the start of the “March of Return” protests along the border at the end of March.Israeli officials have said that since the start of the protests at the Gaza border, there have been more than 200 fires in the Gaza periphery, destroying some 17,500 dunams (4,300 acres) of land, the majority of it in nature reserves and parks.According to the Nature and Parks Authority, approximately 10,000 dunams in parks and reserves in southern Israel were burned. Though a spokesperson for the authority said investigations were still underway to determine exactly how much of that was caused by incendiary kites and balloons, and how much was from other sources.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered that funds be withheld from the Palestinian Authority to compensate Israeli farmers living on the Gaza border who had their agricultural lands destroyed.A statement from Netanyahu’s office didn’t disclose how much would be deducted. Amir Dan, a Tax Authority official, told Army Radio that agricultural damage alone stood at NIS 5 million ($1.4 million) and that damage caused to nature reserves and other land could drive up the figure.
Liberman vows retaliation for Gaza arson attacks that sparked hundreds of fires-After incendiary kites and balloons torch thousands of acres of land, defense minister says response will come 'when convenient' for Israel-By Tamar Pileggi and Raoul Wootliff-TOI-JUN 5,18
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Monday warned terrorist groups in Gaza that Israel would retaliate for a wave of arson attacks that have burned some 9,000 dunams (2,224 acres) of forests and agricultural fields in Israeli communities adjacent to the Palestinian territory.Fires caused by kites and helium balloons rigged with incendiary devices or attached to burning rags and launched over the border have become almost daily occurrences for residents of southern Israel since the start of the “March of Return” protests along the border at the end of March.“It needs to be made clear that we are not prepared to accept the kite phenomenon, rioting along the border fence, or any attempts to breach it in an effort to cause damage to work being done on sovereign Israeli territory, and therefore we will act accordingly,” Liberman said at a faction meeting of his Yisrael Beytenu party.Liberman emphasized that the army “would act in accordance with Israel’s interests when it’s convenient for us.“In any case I don’t let scores go unsettled and we’ll settle the score with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the other terrorists operating against us from the territory of the Gaza Strip,” he added.Liberman said that since the start of protests, some 600 incendiary kites have been flown over the border into Israel. He said 400 of them were intercepted by the IDF, and 200 landed in Israeli territory, sparking 198 fires that burned a total of 9,000 dunams of farmland and forests in southern Israel.Liberman did not reveal his source for the numbers he relayed to Yisrael Beytenu lawmakers, which was lower than other recent tallies.Israeli officials have said that since the start of the protests, there have been more than 200 fires in the Gaza periphery, destroying some 17,500 dunams (4,300 acres) of land, the majority of it in nature reserves and parks.According to the Nature and Parks Authority, approximately 10,000 dunams in parks and reserves in southern Israel were burned. Though a spokesperson for the authority said investigations were still underway to determine exactly how much of that was caused by incendiary kites and balloons, and how much was from other sources.Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon said Monday that his office will “immediately” give Gaza-area farmers 50 percent of the estimated costs in damages to their fields.“Already last month, when the phenomenon of flaming kites began I went to the Gaza area and declared that the State of Israel recognizes the phenomenon as terror for all intents and purposes and the residents will be compensated up to the last shekel,” he told journalists at the Knesset, adding that 25 claims have so far been filed over damages caused to 5,000 dunams of wheat fields, orchards and irrigation systems.“Our farmers are strong people who have gone through difficult periods and won’t be broken by the kite terror,” Kahlon added.Arson has become a widely adopted tactic during the “March of Return” protests, which Israel accuses the Hamas terror group of orchestrating as a cover for attacks and attempts to breach the border fence.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered that funds be withheld from the Palestinian Authority to compensate Israeli farmers living on the Gaza border who had their agricultural lands destroyed.A statement from Netanyahu’s office didn’t disclose how much would be deducted. Amir Dan, a Tax Authority official, told Army Radio that agricultural damage alone stood at NIS 5 million ($1.4 million) and that damage caused to nature reserves and other land could drive up the figure.In addition to the growing problem of flaming kites, terrorist groups in the coastal enclave last week launched over 100 mortar shells and rockets at southern Israel and the IDF retaliated by bombing over 65 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets in the Strip.Speaking at their own faction meetings at the Knesset, Zionist Union chair Avi Gabbay and Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid slammed the government for what they described as a lackluster response to the violence, both saying that Prime Misniter Benjamin Netanyahu had failed to provide security to residents of the south of Israel-“We are part of a ongoing cycle of violence,” Gabbay told his MKs, “and the right wing government of [Jewish Home leader Naftali] Bennett, Netanyahu and Liberman is not bringing security to the people of Israel.”The Zionist Union leader said it was not enough for Israel to just respond to the mortar and rocket fire and must instead, “initiate, initiate, initiate.”“What we are doing now is not the Zionist way,” he charged, urging the government to “listen to the defense establishment, which is saying the same thing as us.”Citing comments last week in which the prime minister said that the IDF had dealt Hamas “the harshest blow they have received in years,” Lapid mocked Netanyahu “for declaring victory in the previous round of fighting” while residents of Gaza border communities remain in fear.”Netanyahu has no policy when it comes to Gaza except to wait for the next round and the next arson attack. The residents who live around Gaza deserve better,” Lapid said.
Beyond kites: ‘Fire balloons’ increasingly used to set southern Israel ablaze-Total of at least 17,500 dunams – nearly 7 square miles – of land burned as Palestinians repeatedly send airborne incendiary devices across border-By Judah Ari Gross-toi-jun 5,18
Since the first few weeks of Gaza’s “March of Return,” young Palestinians have been flying so-called “incendiary kites” into Israeli territory, setting fire to vast swaths of grasslands, agricultural fields and nature reserves.More recently, however, a new arson tactic has been gaining popularity along the Gaza border. Instead of kites, a different children’s toy is being flown into Israel: helium balloons.The concept is the same: Launch the airborne incendiary devices into the air and rely on the breeze from the coast to push them into Israeli territory, where they can start a fire.The balloon tactic has been in use for at least a month and a half, but it has picked up in recent weeks.In total, approximately 17,500 dunams (4,300 acres, or nearly seven square miles) of land have been burned in more than 250 fires over the past two months, more than half of it in nature reserves, according to initial assessments.Authorities have yet to determine how many of the fires were started by kites and how many by balloons. “Kite terror” has become a catch-all term for the phenomenon.As of Monday, there have been no injuries caused by the fires, but the cost of the damage is high and expected to increase, as there’s no sign that Palestinians in Gaza are giving up on the arson tactic.The blazes, specifically those in nature reserves, have also wreaked havoc on local wildlife, ecologists say. And there are more fires every day.The balloons themselves do not cause the fires — helium is an inert gas — but they carry flaming material attached to a long string. In some cases, just a few party balloons are used. In others, it is a larger cluster of latex balloons, capable of carrying far more substantial incendiary devices.As with the kites, the Israeli military has yet to come up with a response to this threat. A pilot program using drones to take down the incoming kites and balloons was deemed a failure, Israel’s Kan TV reported Saturday night.For now, Israel’s primary means of combating these airborne firebombs remains preparedness and a rapid response when blazes do break out.Authorities, as well as individual farmers, monitor the area and when an incoming kite or balloon is spotted, they rush to the scene in order to put out the fire before it spreads.Farmers use tractors to dig up the area around the fire in order to starve out the flames until firefighters can arrive to put out the blaze entirely.They are not always successful.Some 10,000 dunams (2,470 acres) of parks and nature reserves have been burned in recent weeks, according to a spokesperson for the Nature and Parks Authority, who stressed that the authority did not yet have definitive evidence that all of the fires were caused by kites or balloons.Just on Saturday, some 300 dunams (74 acres) of the Carmia nature reserve — approximately a third of the park’s total land area — went up in flames in one of the largest individual blazes since the start of the “fire kite” phenomenon. Israel’s Hadashot news reported that there were suspicions the Carmia fire may have been started by a “fire balloon” that spread the flames as it blew through the area, but this could not be immediately confirmed. Authorities said they were still investigating the cause of the fire.Over 5,000 dunams (1,235 acres) of farmland has been burned, most of it wheat fields, according to the Tax Authority, which is processing compensation requests from area farmers.Driving through the area, it is rare to see a field or patch of trees that does not have at least one blotch of scorched earth from one of the fires sparked by a kite or balloon.In addition, approximately 2,500 dunams (620 acres) of Jewish National Fund forests was burned, a spokesperson for the organization said, adding that the JNF would complete its final assessment of the damage on Tuesday.The Tax Authority said there have been no requests for compensation made by the JNF or the Nature and Parks Authority yet.The Tax Authority estimates that the damage to farmland alone will cost at least NIS 5 million ($1.4 million), to be paid from the government’s fund for damage caused by terrorist activity.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that in order to cover the cost the government would withhold funds from the Palestinian Authority.The decision raised eyebrows among Israeli analysts, who pointed out that the PA does not control the Gaza Strip. Indeed, the Authority’s primary rival, the Hamas terror group, has ruled the enclave since ousting the PA in 2007.Penalizing the PA for Hamas actions would almost certainly not encourage Hamas to stop the kite arson and would probably have the opposite effect.-WWII-era weapon-The tactic of using “fire balloons” might be a new one in Gaza, but its history goes back decades.In World War II, Japan used such “fire balloons” against the United States, sending 9,000 huge hydrogen-filled balloons into the Pacific jet stream where the air currents could push them toward American territory.Approximately 300 of these balloons reached North America, causing relatively little damage. However, one of them was responsible for the only casualties of World War II in the mainland United States.On May 5, 1945, an incendiary bomb that had been carried into America by a Japanese balloon exploded in the rural town of Bly, Oregon, killing six people.
US court throws out bid to ban ‘In God We Trust’ from bills-Chicago appeals panel rules that phrase on currency does not amount to religious endorsement, does not violate Constitution-By AP-jun 5,18-toi
CHICAGO — A federal court has ruled that printing “In God We Trust” on US currency does not amount to a religious endorsement and therefore does not violate the US Constitution.The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin reports that the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago made the ruling Thursday in a lawsuit brought by a self-declared Satanist, Kenneth Mayle. He argued that the motto propagates a religious view he opposes.A lower court tossed the suit citing a Supreme Court decision that a motto on currency is not something people display prominently and thus that people are not forced to publicly advertise views that clash with their own.Mayle appealed to restore the suit, but the 7th Circuit refused, describing the phrase as a “historical reminder” of the nation’s heritage.
Trump says he has ‘absolute right’ to pardon himself-A day after legal counsel Giuliani says he would be unwise to use pardon, US president tweets, 'Why would I when I have done nothing wrong?'-By Jonathan Lemire and Catherine Lucey -TOI-JUN 5,18
WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Donald Trump declared Monday that he has the “absolute right” to pardon himself, but added he had done nothing wrong, asserting his presidential power as the White House is sharpening its political and legal defenses against the special counsel Russia probe.Trump’s comments on Twitter came a day after attorney Rudy Giuliani played down the possibility that the president could pardon himself, suggesting he might have that authority but would be unwise to use it.“Pardoning himself would be unthinkable and probably lead to immediate impeachment,” Giuliani, a member of Trump’s legal team, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “And he has no need to do it, he’s done nothing wrong.”In Monday’s tweet, Trump said: “As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?” He then again decried special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe as a “never ending Witch Hunt.”Trump’s legal team is making clear that it will combat any effort to force the president to testify in front of a grand jury. Giuliani on Sunday underscored one of the main arguments in a newly unveiled letter sent by Trump’s lawyers to Mueller back in January: A president can’t be given a grand jury subpoena as part of the investigation into foreign meddling in the 2016 election.But Giuliani, in a series of television interviews, broke with one of their bolder arguments in the letter that a president could not have committed obstruction of justice because he has ultimate authority over any federal investigation.Yet the former New York City mayor, who was not on the legal team when the letter was written, added that Trump “probably does” have the power to pardon himself, an assertion challenged by legal scholars. He says the president’s legal team hasn’t discussed that option, which many observers believe could plunge the nation into a constitutional crisis.“I think the political ramifications would be tough,” Giuliani told ABC’s “This Week.” “Pardoning other people is one thing, pardoning yourself is tough.”Trump has issued two unrelated pardons in recent days and discussed others, a move that has been interpreted as a possible signal to allies ensnared in the Russia probe.The letter is dated January 29 and addressed to Mueller from John Dowd, a Trump lawyer who has since resigned from the legal team. Mueller has requested an interview with the president to determine whether he had criminal intent to obstruct the investigation into his associates’ possible links to Russia’s election interference.Giuliani said Sunday that a decision about an interview would not be made until after Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore, and he cast doubt that it would occur at all.“I mean, we’re leaning toward not,” Giuliani told ABC. “But look, if they can convince us that it will be brief, it would be to the point, there were five or six points they have to clarify, and with that, we can get this — this long nightmare for the — for the American public over.”In addition to the legal battles, Trump’s team and allies have waged a public relations campaign against Mueller and the Justice Department to discredit the investigation and soften the impact of the special counsel’s potential findings. Giuliani said last week that the special counsel probe may be an “entirely illegitimate investigation” and need to be curtailed because, in his estimation, it was based on inappropriately obtained information from an informant and James Comey’s memos.In reality, the FBI began a counterintelligence investigation in July 2016 to determine if Trump campaign associates were coordinating with Russia to tip the election. The investigation was opened after the hacking of Democratic emails that intelligence officials later formally attributed to Russia.Trump’s team has requested a briefing about the informant, but Giuliani said Sunday that the president would not order the Justice Department to comply because it would negatively affect public opinion. But he continued to cast doubt on the special counsel’s eventual findings, suggesting that Trump has already offered explanations for the matters being investigated and that the special counsel was biased against the president.“For every one of these things he did, we can write out five reasons why he did it,” Giuliani said. “If four of them are completely innocent and one of them is your assumption that it’s a guilty motive, which (Trump) would deny, you can’t possibly prosecute him.”Trump’s legal team has long pushed the special counsel to narrow the scope of its interview. Giuliani also suggested that Trump’s lawyers had been incorrect when they denied that the president was involved with the letter that offered an explanation for Donald Trump Jr.’s 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians who offered damaging information on Democrat Hillary Clinton.“This is the reason you don’t let the president testify,” Giuliani told ABC. “Our recollection keeps changing, or we’re not even asked a question and somebody makes an assumption.”If Trump does not consent to an interview, Mueller will have to decide whether to go forward with a historic grand jury subpoena. His team raised the possibility in March of subpoenaing the president, but it is not clear if it is still under active consideration.A court battle is likely if Trump’s team argues that the president can’t be forced to answer questions or be charged with obstruction of justice. US President Bill Clinton was charged with obstruction in 1998 by the House of Representatives as part of his impeachment trial. And one of the articles of impeachment prepared against President Richard Nixon in 1974 was for obstruction.
Khamenei: Israel a ‘cancerous tumor’ that ‘must be eradicated’-Iran's supreme leader says destruction of Jewish state is 'possible and will happen,' slams 'traitorous countries' for not defending Palestinians-By Tamar Pileggi-TOI-JUN 5,18
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday lashed out at Israel, calling the Jewish state the “cancerous tumor” of the region that must be “removed and eradicated.”In a series of tweets Sunday, Khamenei leveled harsh criticism at Israel for its handling of the violent Hamas-orchestrated “March of Return” protests along the Gaza border.“Our stance against Israel is the same stance we have always taken,” he said. “#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.”For Iranians, Khamenei said the issue of Palestine was not motivated by politics, but was “an issue of the heart… and faith.”For #Iran, the Palestinian cause is not a tactical issue, nor is it a 'political' strategy. It's an issue of beliefs, an issue of the heart and an issue of faith. 2/27/10#Palestine— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) June 3, 2018-A day earlier, the supreme leader took to Twitter to warn “traitorous countries” that refused to confront Israel militarily in order to appease the US, saying that “resistance is the only way to save #Palestine from oppression.”Khamenei has previously branded Israel as “barbaric,” “infanticidal,” and the “sinister, unclean rabid dog of the region.” More recently, he blamed “Zionists” for the anti-government demonstrations held across Iran earlier this year.His tweets over the weekend came amid a tense few days along the Gaza border that saw multiple exchanges of mortar and rocket fire and violence along the security fence.On Friday, a 21-year-old volunteer Gazan paramedic was shot dead as she tried to help evacuate wounded protesters near Israel’s perimeter fence. UN officials condemned Razan Najjar’s killing, and thousands of Palestinians attended her funeral on Saturday. The IDF said it was investigating the incident.Later Saturday night and early Sunday morning, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza resumed firing rockets over the border, shattering an official ceasefire agreement. In response, the IDF said Israeli jets carried out two rounds of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed Israel Monday morning for Europe to rally support from key allies for amending the international nuclear deal with Iran and for pushing Tehran-backed forces out of neighboring Syria.The Israeli leader is set to meet with leaders from Germany, France and Britain, beginning with German Chancellor Angela Merkel later on Monday.Netanyahu has long identified Iran as Israel’s greatest threat, pointing to its nuclear program, calls for Israel’s destruction and support of anti-Israel terrorist groups.Before departing, the prime minister told his cabinet that archenemy Iran would top his agenda and voiced optimism for a successful visit. Israel has been a leading critic of the international nuclear deal with Iran, and more recently, has said it will not allow Iran to establish a permanent military presence in war-torn Syria.Agencies contributed to this report.

Guatemala volcano death toll up to 33, expected to rise-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
EL RODEO, Guatemala — Rescuers used heavy machinery and shovels found the bodies of more victims of an eruption at Guatemala's Volcano of Fire on Monday, and rescuers pulled 10 people still alive from ash drifts and mud flows.The head of the country's disaster agency, Sergio Cabanas, said at least 33 people were dead, and the death toll was expected to rise.He said rescuers using helicopters had rescued 10 people from areas hit by thick ash, mud or lava.Residents of El Rodeo, about 8 miles (12 kilometres ) downslope from the crater, said they were caught unaware by fast-moving pyroclastic flows when the volcano west of Guatemala City exploded Sunday, sending towering clouds of ash miles into the air.Searing flows of ash mixed with water and debris down its flanks, blocking roads and burning homes.The charred landscape left behind was still too hot to touch or even to pull bodies from in many parts, melting the shoes of rescuers. Workers told of finding bodies so thickly coated with ash they appeared to be statues. Inhaling ash or hot volcanic gases can asphyxiate people quickly.Hilda Lopez said the volcanic mud swept into her village of San Miguel Los Lotes, just below the mountain's flanks. She still doesn't know where her mother or her sister are."We were at a party, celebrating the birth of a baby, when one of the neighbours shouted at us to come out and see the lava that was coming," Lopez recalled. "We didn't believe it, and when we went out the hot mud was already coming down the street.""My mother was stuck there, she couldn't get out," said Lopez, weeping and holding her face in her hands.Disaster agency spokesman David de Leon said 18 bodies had been found in San Miguel Los Lotes. Lopez's husband, Joel Gonzalez, said his father was had been unable to escape and was believed to be "buried back there, at the house."In the village of El Rodeo, heavily armed soldiers wearing blue masks to ward off the dust stood guard behind yellow tape cordoning off the scene as orange-helmeted workers operated a backhoe. A group of residents arrived at the scene with shovels and work boots.Some locals said they never learned of the danger until it was upon them — and were critical of authorities."Conred (the disaster agency) never told us to leave. When the lava was already here they passed by in their pickup trucks telling at us to leave, but the cars did not stop to pick up the people," said Rafael Letran, a resident of El Rodeo. "The government is good at stealing, but when it comes to helping people they lack spark."Eddy Sanchez, director of the country's seismology and volcanology institute, said the flows reached temperatures of about 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit (700 Celsius).At least 20 people were injured, and authorities have said they feared the death toll could rise with an undetermined number of people unaccounted for. The disaster agency said 3,265 people had been evacuated.Dramatic video showed a fast-moving lahar, or flow of pyroclastic material and slurry, slamming into and partly destroying a bridge on a highway between Sacatepequez and Escuintla.Among the fatalities were four people, including a disaster agency official, killed when lava set a house on fire in El Rodeo, National Disaster Coordinator Sergio Cabanas said. Two children were burned to death as they watched the volcano's second eruption this year from a bridge, he added.Ash from the volcano, which lies about 27 miles (44 kilometres ) west of Guatemala City, fell on the capital area as well as the departments of Sacatepequez, Chimaltenango and Escuintla. Streets and houses were covered in the colonial town of Antigua, a popular tourist destination.Aviation authorities closed Guatemala City's international airport because of the danger posed to planes, but the airport was reopened at mid-morning Monday after workers cleared away ash.One of Central America's most active volcanos, the conical Volcan de Fuego reaches an altitude of 12,346 feet (3,763 metres ) above sea level at its peak.Sonia Perez D., The Associated Press.
Three people trapped by lava airlifted to safety near Hawaii volcano-[Reuters]-By Terray Sylvester-YAHOONEWS-June 4, 2018
PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Three people were airlifted to safety on Sunday morning as lava from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano threatened an isolated area where they had become trapped, the National Guard said.The two men and a woman became the latest in a series of evacuations on Hawaii's Big Island forced by the volcano, which has been erupting since May 3.On Saturday, National Guard troops, police and firefighters ushered evacuees from homes on the eastern tip of the island, hours before lava cut off road access to the area, officials said.A stream of lava as wide as three football fields flowed over a highway near a junction at Kapoho, a seaside community rebuilt after a destructive eruption of Kilauea in 1960.About a dozen people remain in the area, but it is not clear whether they are in neighborhoods that are immediately threatened by lava, officials said.The lava flow left Kapoho and the adjacent development of Vacationland cut off from the rest of the island by road, according to the Hawaii County Civil Defense agency.Lava also destroyed a freshwater lake, boiling away all of the water in it, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported late on Saturday.Authorities since Wednesday had been urging residents of the area to leave before lava spewing from a volcanic fissure at the eastern foot of Kilauea reached the area.The final phase of the evacuation was carried out late on Friday and early on Saturday by fire and police department personnel, with help from the Hawaii National Guard and public works teams, county civil defense spokeswoman Janet Snyder told Reuters by email.An estimated 500 people live in the Kapoho area, but Snyder said it was not immediately clear how many residents, if any, had chosen to stay behind.Another 2,000 people have already been evacuated from Leilani Estates, an area further west where dozens of homes have been devoured or cut off by rivers of lava streaming over the landscape since May 3.For those whose homes have been unscathed, the prolonged strain of uncertainty has grown increasingly difficult.(Reporting by Terray Sylvester; Additional reporting by Sharon Bernstein; Editing by Sandra Maler)
Rains fail to quench western U.S. wildfires-[Reuters]-By Rich McKay-June 5, 2018
(Reuters) - Rains fell on two massive wildfires in the U.S. southwest but it was not enough to quench the fires that were burning through thousands of acres in New Mexico and Colorado early Monday, officials said."The rains came and we're glad of it," said Judith Dyess, a spokeswoman for the joint agency, South West Incident Management Team in New Mexico. "But it didn't do it. We're still burning out of control.""Overnight the fires calm down some, with the lower humidity," Dyess said, "But we're working around the clock."Progress was made, she said. The fires were 23 percent contained by early Monday in the larger of the two fires, the so-called Ute Park Fire in Colfax County, New Mexico.That was a big improvement from the fire being zero percent contained early Sunday before the rains came, Dyess said.It has already scorched some 30,000 acres near Cimarron, a town of about 1,100 people northeast of Santa Fe, according to a bulletin on the New Mexico Fire Information website.Ten fire crews, totaling 510 people, 32 fire engines, eight helicopters and eight bulldozers, were deployed, officials said.About 300 structures were threatened in Cimarron, where officials issued a mandatory evacuation order on Friday.The town lies just northeast of the Santa Fe National Forest, which was closed to the public indefinitely on Friday in a rare measure prompted by the heightened fire risk from prolonged drought.About a dozen outbuildings went up in flames on an adjacent ranch, fire officials said.The cause of the fire, which began on Thursday and has been burning through grassland and pine forest, is not known.A second wildfire started on Friday about 10 miles north of Durango, Colorado, raging across more than 2,255 acres late Sunday and forcing the evacuation of about 1,500 people near the southern border of the San Juan National Forest, the U.S. Forest Service said.Air tankers dropped a red fire retardant slurry at the weekend on land near the fire 10 miles north of Durango along Highway 550, according to the Denver Post. Six helicopters dropped large buckets of water on the flames.The fire was 10 percent contained, according to a fire bulletin from the National Weather Service (NWS) early Monday."Unfortunately there's no more rain in sight," said Brian Roth, a meteorologist with the NWS's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland."That's it, what they got," he said. "One and done. The rains have moved west into Arizona."(Reporting by Rich McKay in Atlanta; Additional reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee and Peter Szekely in New York; Editing by Paul Tait)

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

At least 62 people still homeless after major spring flood-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
At least 62 people remain out of their homes after record flooding hit areas of the province in April and May, according to the Emergency Measures Organization.Geoffrey Downey, a spokesperson for the Emergency Measures Organization, said the number of people who are still homeless after the flood could actually be higher.The estimate of 62 only accounts for people living in temporary housing registered with the Red Cross and not residents living with friends and family and not registered."Some people are unfortunately experts with this," said Downey in an interview with Information Morning Fredericton on Monday."This isn't the first time they've had to do it."Work moving along-The provincial government says recovery work is well underway.According to emergency organization, 2,672 people have applied for disaster financial assistance.While Downey wasn't aware of any of those payments being sent out, he did say 108 people have received advance payments.Out of those, 1,871 requested a health and safety inspection, 1,420 of which have been completed as of June 1.According to Downey, that number would've gone up over the weekend."Weekends are very productive times for the health and safety inspection teams. People are around and the work is getting done," said Downey."Hopefully in days to come we'll be able to report that more people are getting back into their homes."Mike Mallery, an inspector with the provincial government, said most of the properties between Fredericton and Saint John on the St. John River have had their inspections completed.He said the inspection unit is switching their focus to other areas."We still have some outlying properties throughout the province that people have registered that are away from the St. John River and there are still a few probably up around Grand Falls area that we need to pick up," said Mallery.'Back to normal'-The inspection unit has nine teams of five inspectors working on the inspections, according to Mallery."They assess the properties, give the homeowner some idea of what they need to do to get themselves back to normal," said Mallery.Mallery described the extent of damage homeowners have to deal with as "wide [ranging].""It could be ranging from anything from perhaps just an inch of water, debris on the lawn to water onto the first floor, basement structural damage," said Mallery.Downey said if damage is extensive enough, 80 per cent of the property's assessed value, the province would offer to buy out the homeowner, but there are no plans to pay for moving homes to higher ground."The province isn't going to pay to lift your home," said Downey.Downey said it's not too late to sign up for disaster financial assistance and no deadline has been put in place for applications."We're encouraging people that suffered damage to register as soon as possible, but at this point we don't have a deadline so there's no great rush," said Downey.

Justices side with Colorado baker on same-sex wedding cake-[Associated Press]-Mark Sherman, YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court ruled Monday for a Colorado baker who wouldn't make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in a limited decision that leaves for another day the larger issue of whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to gay and lesbian people.The justices' decision turned on what the court described as anti-religious bias on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips. The justices voted 7-2 that the commission violated Phillips' rights under the First Amendment.Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the larger issue "must await further elaboration" in the courts. Appeals in similar cases are pending, including one at the Supreme Court from a florist who didn't want to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.The disputes, Kennedy wrote, "must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market."The same-sex couple at the heart of the case, Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, complained to the Colorado commission in 2012 after they visited Phillips' Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver and the baker quickly told them he would not create a cake for their wedding celebration.Colorado law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and the commission concluded that Phillips' refusal violated the law, despite Phillips' argument that he is opposed to same-sex marriage on religious grounds. Colorado state courts upheld the determination.But when the justices heard arguments in December, Kennedy was plainly bothered by comments by a commission member that the justice said disparaged religion. The commissioner seemed "neither tolerant nor respectful of Mr. Phillips' religious beliefs," Kennedy said in December.That same sentiment suffused his opinion on Monday. "The commission's hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment's guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion," he wrote.Liberal justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan joined the conservative justices in the outcome. Kagan wrote separately to emphasize the limited ruling.Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.In a statement issued after the ruling Monday, Phillips' Supreme Court lawyer praised the decision."Government hostility toward people of faith has no place in our society, yet the state of Colorado was openly antagonistic toward Jack's religious beliefs about marriage. The court was right to condemn that," said Kristen Waggoner, the Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel who argued Phillips' case.Waggoner said Phillips is willing to sell ready-made products to anyone who enters his store. But, "he simply declines to express messages or celebrate events that violate his deeply held beliefs," she said.Phillips was at his shop Monday morning, where he was busy answering the phone and getting congratulations from his supporters in person, including his pastor. One woman brought him a bouquet of flowers and others hugged him.The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the couple in its legal fight, said it was pleased the court did not endorse a broad religion-based exemption from anti-discrimination laws."The court reversed the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision based on concerns unique to the case but reaffirmed its longstanding rule that states can prevent the harms of discrimination in the marketplace, including against LGBT people." said Louise Melling, the ACLU's deputy legal director.Several legal disputes are pending over wedding services, similar to the Phillips case. Video producers, graphic artists and florists are among business owners who say they oppose same-sex marriage on religious grounds and don't want to participate in same-sex weddings.Barronelle Stutzman, a florist in Richland, Washington, has appealed a state Supreme Court ruling that found she violated state law for refusing to provide the wedding flowers for two men who were about to be married.The justices could decide what to do with that appeal by the end of June.___Associated Press writer P. Solomon Banda also contributed to this report from Denver.
A LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT MIX BAG OF EVERYTHING ACTUALLY CAME TO REALITY. HURRAY.THE REST ARE STILL IN LA LA DELUTION LAND.
Wynne pinpoints the moment she realized she couldn't win-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne says she can pinpoint the moment she realized she wouldn't have a chance of winning the Ontario election.It was just after the final leaders' debate, held at CBC's Toronto headquarters on May 27. "I think I did pretty well in the debate," she said during an interview on Metro Morning on Monday. "But once the debate was over, we didn't see the numbers move."Those discouraging poll numbers, showing the Liberals trailing far behind the Progressive Conservatives and NDP for Thursday's vote, "meant that we needed to be honest with people that we're not going to be the government," she said. Then came Saturday's emotional announcement, when Wynne acknowledged she would not return as premier.So what does that mean for Liberal candidates? Disputing the idea that she was throwing them under the bus or giving Ontarians tacit permission to vote for the NDP, Wynne said Monday she made Saturday's announcement because she "needed to get myself out of the way." "What I've said to them is, 'Look, this is going to help you in your ridings,'" she said. Paving the way for a PC majority? Wynne said voters are expressing anxiety at the prospect of an NDP or PC government, but that "there is another way.""Here's what I know: the more Liberals we can elect, the more chance there won't be an NDP or Conservative majority," she said. But an hour after Wynne appeared on Metro Morning, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath came out swinging, charging Wynne with asking Ontarians to play a "risky game" that could put the Progressive Conservatives in power."I just fear that if people don't think about what she's asking, which is basically to likely put Doug Ford in the premier's chair, then we could be in a serious situation," Horwath told Metro Morning host Matt Galloway, calling Wynne's announcement both surprising and "disappointing." CBC's poll tracker indicates the NDP has a narrow lead over the PC Party, but continues to favour Ford's party to win a majority government due to a better regional distribution of votes. Wynne still wants to be an MPP -Until this weekend's admission, Wynne had been defiant in the face of daunting poll numbers that suggest the Liberal Party could lose official party status after the vote. In Ontario, parties need at least eight seats to be formally recognized.On Monday, Wynne reaffirmed that regardless of how her party fares on election day, she would like to continue to serve in Don Valley West, where she was first elected as MPP in 2003. "This is the community that I love," she told Galloway. "I want to continue to represent them."
Police clear out two more migrant camps in Paris-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
PARIS (Reuters) - French police began on Monday to clear out two illegal refugee camp sites in Paris, following a similar operation last week, in the government's latest attempt to deal with a migrant influx that France has been facing for the past three years.A statement from the Paris police department said authorities were in the process of clearing out two illegal refugee campsites at the Porte des Poissonniers, in northeast Paris, and another site next to the city's Canal Saint Martin.Last week, authorities had cleared out around 1,000 migrants from the larger "Millenaire" camp, also in northeast Paris. Those migrants had subsequently been taken to various accommodation centers around the capital.Europe has faced a migrant crisis since 2015, following wars in Libya and Syria. More than 1 million people from Africa and the Middle East, as well as many from Afghanistan, have tried to reach the continent via Turkey or by sea.In France, much of the migrant influx ended up in the northern port of Calais, where a giant slum was cleared by the authorities in late 2016. Most of the rest have gathered in Paris and the southeast near the Franco-Italian border.(Reporting by Sudip Kar-Gupta; Editing by Simon Cameron-Moore)

Merkel backs Israel’s demand that Iranian troops be removed from Syria-Meeting with Netanyahu in Berlin, chancellor says Iran's regional influence is 'worrying'; PM warns of 'new religious war' in Mideast-By Raphael Ahren-JUN 5,18
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that she agreed with Israel’s demand that Iranian troops be removed from Syria, especially the area close to the Israeli border.“Iran’s regional influence is worrying,” she said.Announcing at a joint press conference in Berlin that she and other government representatives planned to visit Israel in early October, Merkel said that “one has to discuss” Tehran’s presence in Syria. She also condemned the Islamic Republic’s heavily anti-Israel tweets.On Sunday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the Jewish state the “cancerous tumor” of the region that must be “removed and eradicated.”Still, Merkel defended the nuclear deal signed in 2015 by Iran and world powers — and opposed all along by Israel — arguing that it made the world a better place.US President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal on May 8, with Netanyahu’s enthusiastic encouragement and support.Both the US and Israel hope that Trump’s withdrawal can lead all sides into addressing what they say are the deal’s shortcomings — including “sunset” provisions that eventually end restrictions on Iranian nuclear activities, such as enriching uranium, as well as permitting Iran to continue to develop long-range missiles.Merkel, like other European leaders with whom Netanyahu is set to meet later this week, has urged Trump to remain in the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.As he took off for Berlin on Monday, the first leg of a series of visits with European leaders, Netanyahu indicated that Iran would be the first and only subject on his agenda.Intent on winning support for amending the nuclear deal with Iran and getting Iranian troops out of Syria, the prime minister will also meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May, both of whose countries are signatories to the deal.At Monday’s press conference, the two leaders agreed that it was important for the International Atomic Energy Agency to review a secret Iranian nuclear archive that Israel smuggled out of Tehran earlier this year and which Netanyahu announced to the world with great fanfare at the end of April.Netanyahu warned Merkel that Iran’s presence in Syria should also worry Germany, given that Shiite militias there were intent on converting Sunni Muslims to their creed, with the result that a “new religious war” would break out in the Middle East and send further waves of refugees to Europe.Israel fears that as the Syrian civil war winds down, Iran, whose forces and Shiite proxies have backed President Bashar Assad, will turn its focus to Israel.The Israeli Air Force is believed to have carried out a number of airstrikes on Iranian positions in Syria. Last month, the bitter enemies openly clashed when Iran fired dozens of rockets at Israeli positions in the Golan Heights, and Israel responded by striking several Iranian targets in Syria.Last week, it was reported that Israel and Russia had reached a deal to remove Iranian forces from southern Syria, while also giving Israel a green light to strike Iranian targets in Syria.The reported agreement would see Iranian forces leave southwestern Syria, while allowing Israel to strike Iranian assets deep in the country. Israel agreed not to attack Syrian regime targets, a report in the Arabic Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper said.Turning to the issue of long-dormant peace talks with the Palestinians, Netanyahu said, “Our hand is always extended in peace,” while arguing that Israel’s improving relationships with Arab states were “most promising route.”Merkel said, “There isn’t agreement on all points. But we’re partners, we’re friends.”While the German leader reiterated the need for a two-state solution, Netanyahu said there would be no progress until the Palestinians recognized the right of the Jewish state to exist.
Rivlin calls on Abbas to condemn Gaza kite attacks-President also wishes PA leader happy Ramadan and successful recovery after hospitalization-By TOI staff-JUN 5,18
President Reuven Rivlin called Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas on Monday and asking him to condemn the airborne arson attacks on the Gaza border and attempts to cross into Israel.“The terror coming from Gaza is a problem for both sides and we should hear your voice on this matter,” Rivlin said, according to Hebrew media reports. “We have to see how to stop the arson and infiltration of the border fence.”The president also wished Abbas a happy Ramadan and successful recovery following his hospitalization last month.The PA’s official Wafa news agency only reported on the latter part of the conversation.Abbas was admitted on May 20 to the Istishari Arab Hospital near Ramallah in the West Bank with complications following an ear operation, including high fever.Officials later confirmed he was being treated for pneumonia.Fires caused by kites and helium balloons rigged with incendiary devices or attached to burning rags and launched over the border have become almost daily occurrences for residents of southern Israel since the start of the “March of Return” protests along the border at the end of March.Israeli officials have said that since the start of the protests at the Gaza border, there have been more than 200 fires in the Gaza periphery, destroying some 17,500 dunams (4,300 acres) of land, the majority of it in nature reserves and parks.According to the Nature and Parks Authority, approximately 10,000 dunams in parks and reserves in southern Israel were burned. Though a spokesperson for the authority said investigations were still underway to determine exactly how much of that was caused by incendiary kites and balloons, and how much was from other sources.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered that funds be withheld from the Palestinian Authority to compensate Israeli farmers living on the Gaza border who had their agricultural lands destroyed.A statement from Netanyahu’s office didn’t disclose how much would be deducted. Amir Dan, a Tax Authority official, told Army Radio that agricultural damage alone stood at NIS 5 million ($1.4 million) and that damage caused to nature reserves and other land could drive up the figure.
Liberman vows retaliation for Gaza arson attacks that sparked hundreds of fires-After incendiary kites and balloons torch thousands of acres of land, defense minister says response will come 'when convenient' for Israel-By Tamar Pileggi and Raoul Wootliff-TOI-JUN 5,18
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Monday warned terrorist groups in Gaza that Israel would retaliate for a wave of arson attacks that have burned some 9,000 dunams (2,224 acres) of forests and agricultural fields in Israeli communities adjacent to the Palestinian territory.Fires caused by kites and helium balloons rigged with incendiary devices or attached to burning rags and launched over the border have become almost daily occurrences for residents of southern Israel since the start of the “March of Return” protests along the border at the end of March.“It needs to be made clear that we are not prepared to accept the kite phenomenon, rioting along the border fence, or any attempts to breach it in an effort to cause damage to work being done on sovereign Israeli territory, and therefore we will act accordingly,” Liberman said at a faction meeting of his Yisrael Beytenu party.Liberman emphasized that the army “would act in accordance with Israel’s interests when it’s convenient for us.“In any case I don’t let scores go unsettled and we’ll settle the score with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the other terrorists operating against us from the territory of the Gaza Strip,” he added.Liberman said that since the start of protests, some 600 incendiary kites have been flown over the border into Israel. He said 400 of them were intercepted by the IDF, and 200 landed in Israeli territory, sparking 198 fires that burned a total of 9,000 dunams of farmland and forests in southern Israel.Liberman did not reveal his source for the numbers he relayed to Yisrael Beytenu lawmakers, which was lower than other recent tallies.Israeli officials have said that since the start of the protests, there have been more than 200 fires in the Gaza periphery, destroying some 17,500 dunams (4,300 acres) of land, the majority of it in nature reserves and parks.According to the Nature and Parks Authority, approximately 10,000 dunams in parks and reserves in southern Israel were burned. Though a spokesperson for the authority said investigations were still underway to determine exactly how much of that was caused by incendiary kites and balloons, and how much was from other sources.Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon said Monday that his office will “immediately” give Gaza-area farmers 50 percent of the estimated costs in damages to their fields.“Already last month, when the phenomenon of flaming kites began I went to the Gaza area and declared that the State of Israel recognizes the phenomenon as terror for all intents and purposes and the residents will be compensated up to the last shekel,” he told journalists at the Knesset, adding that 25 claims have so far been filed over damages caused to 5,000 dunams of wheat fields, orchards and irrigation systems.“Our farmers are strong people who have gone through difficult periods and won’t be broken by the kite terror,” Kahlon added.Arson has become a widely adopted tactic during the “March of Return” protests, which Israel accuses the Hamas terror group of orchestrating as a cover for attacks and attempts to breach the border fence.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered that funds be withheld from the Palestinian Authority to compensate Israeli farmers living on the Gaza border who had their agricultural lands destroyed.A statement from Netanyahu’s office didn’t disclose how much would be deducted. Amir Dan, a Tax Authority official, told Army Radio that agricultural damage alone stood at NIS 5 million ($1.4 million) and that damage caused to nature reserves and other land could drive up the figure.In addition to the growing problem of flaming kites, terrorist groups in the coastal enclave last week launched over 100 mortar shells and rockets at southern Israel and the IDF retaliated by bombing over 65 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets in the Strip.Speaking at their own faction meetings at the Knesset, Zionist Union chair Avi Gabbay and Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid slammed the government for what they described as a lackluster response to the violence, both saying that Prime Misniter Benjamin Netanyahu had failed to provide security to residents of the south of Israel-“We are part of a ongoing cycle of violence,” Gabbay told his MKs, “and the right wing government of [Jewish Home leader Naftali] Bennett, Netanyahu and Liberman is not bringing security to the people of Israel.”The Zionist Union leader said it was not enough for Israel to just respond to the mortar and rocket fire and must instead, “initiate, initiate, initiate.”“What we are doing now is not the Zionist way,” he charged, urging the government to “listen to the defense establishment, which is saying the same thing as us.”Citing comments last week in which the prime minister said that the IDF had dealt Hamas “the harshest blow they have received in years,” Lapid mocked Netanyahu “for declaring victory in the previous round of fighting” while residents of Gaza border communities remain in fear.”Netanyahu has no policy when it comes to Gaza except to wait for the next round and the next arson attack. The residents who live around Gaza deserve better,” Lapid said.
Beyond kites: ‘Fire balloons’ increasingly used to set southern Israel ablaze-Total of at least 17,500 dunams – nearly 7 square miles – of land burned as Palestinians repeatedly send airborne incendiary devices across border-By Judah Ari Gross-toi-jun 5,18
Since the first few weeks of Gaza’s “March of Return,” young Palestinians have been flying so-called “incendiary kites” into Israeli territory, setting fire to vast swaths of grasslands, agricultural fields and nature reserves.More recently, however, a new arson tactic has been gaining popularity along the Gaza border. Instead of kites, a different children’s toy is being flown into Israel: helium balloons.The concept is the same: Launch the airborne incendiary devices into the air and rely on the breeze from the coast to push them into Israeli territory, where they can start a fire.The balloon tactic has been in use for at least a month and a half, but it has picked up in recent weeks.In total, approximately 17,500 dunams (4,300 acres, or nearly seven square miles) of land have been burned in more than 250 fires over the past two months, more than half of it in nature reserves, according to initial assessments.Authorities have yet to determine how many of the fires were started by kites and how many by balloons. “Kite terror” has become a catch-all term for the phenomenon.As of Monday, there have been no injuries caused by the fires, but the cost of the damage is high and expected to increase, as there’s no sign that Palestinians in Gaza are giving up on the arson tactic.The blazes, specifically those in nature reserves, have also wreaked havoc on local wildlife, ecologists say. And there are more fires every day.The balloons themselves do not cause the fires — helium is an inert gas — but they carry flaming material attached to a long string. In some cases, just a few party balloons are used. In others, it is a larger cluster of latex balloons, capable of carrying far more substantial incendiary devices.As with the kites, the Israeli military has yet to come up with a response to this threat. A pilot program using drones to take down the incoming kites and balloons was deemed a failure, Israel’s Kan TV reported Saturday night.For now, Israel’s primary means of combating these airborne firebombs remains preparedness and a rapid response when blazes do break out.Authorities, as well as individual farmers, monitor the area and when an incoming kite or balloon is spotted, they rush to the scene in order to put out the fire before it spreads.Farmers use tractors to dig up the area around the fire in order to starve out the flames until firefighters can arrive to put out the blaze entirely.They are not always successful.Some 10,000 dunams (2,470 acres) of parks and nature reserves have been burned in recent weeks, according to a spokesperson for the Nature and Parks Authority, who stressed that the authority did not yet have definitive evidence that all of the fires were caused by kites or balloons.Just on Saturday, some 300 dunams (74 acres) of the Carmia nature reserve — approximately a third of the park’s total land area — went up in flames in one of the largest individual blazes since the start of the “fire kite” phenomenon. Israel’s Hadashot news reported that there were suspicions the Carmia fire may have been started by a “fire balloon” that spread the flames as it blew through the area, but this could not be immediately confirmed. Authorities said they were still investigating the cause of the fire.Over 5,000 dunams (1,235 acres) of farmland has been burned, most of it wheat fields, according to the Tax Authority, which is processing compensation requests from area farmers.Driving through the area, it is rare to see a field or patch of trees that does not have at least one blotch of scorched earth from one of the fires sparked by a kite or balloon.In addition, approximately 2,500 dunams (620 acres) of Jewish National Fund forests was burned, a spokesperson for the organization said, adding that the JNF would complete its final assessment of the damage on Tuesday.The Tax Authority said there have been no requests for compensation made by the JNF or the Nature and Parks Authority yet.The Tax Authority estimates that the damage to farmland alone will cost at least NIS 5 million ($1.4 million), to be paid from the government’s fund for damage caused by terrorist activity.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that in order to cover the cost the government would withhold funds from the Palestinian Authority.The decision raised eyebrows among Israeli analysts, who pointed out that the PA does not control the Gaza Strip. Indeed, the Authority’s primary rival, the Hamas terror group, has ruled the enclave since ousting the PA in 2007.Penalizing the PA for Hamas actions would almost certainly not encourage Hamas to stop the kite arson and would probably have the opposite effect.-WWII-era weapon-The tactic of using “fire balloons” might be a new one in Gaza, but its history goes back decades.In World War II, Japan used such “fire balloons” against the United States, sending 9,000 huge hydrogen-filled balloons into the Pacific jet stream where the air currents could push them toward American territory.Approximately 300 of these balloons reached North America, causing relatively little damage. However, one of them was responsible for the only casualties of World War II in the mainland United States.On May 5, 1945, an incendiary bomb that had been carried into America by a Japanese balloon exploded in the rural town of Bly, Oregon, killing six people.
US court throws out bid to ban ‘In God We Trust’ from bills-Chicago appeals panel rules that phrase on currency does not amount to religious endorsement, does not violate Constitution-By AP-jun 5,18-toi
CHICAGO — A federal court has ruled that printing “In God We Trust” on US currency does not amount to a religious endorsement and therefore does not violate the US Constitution.The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin reports that the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago made the ruling Thursday in a lawsuit brought by a self-declared Satanist, Kenneth Mayle. He argued that the motto propagates a religious view he opposes.A lower court tossed the suit citing a Supreme Court decision that a motto on currency is not something people display prominently and thus that people are not forced to publicly advertise views that clash with their own.Mayle appealed to restore the suit, but the 7th Circuit refused, describing the phrase as a “historical reminder” of the nation’s heritage.
Trump says he has ‘absolute right’ to pardon himself-A day after legal counsel Giuliani says he would be unwise to use pardon, US president tweets, 'Why would I when I have done nothing wrong?'-By Jonathan Lemire and Catherine Lucey -TOI-JUN 5,18
WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Donald Trump declared Monday that he has the “absolute right” to pardon himself, but added he had done nothing wrong, asserting his presidential power as the White House is sharpening its political and legal defenses against the special counsel Russia probe.Trump’s comments on Twitter came a day after attorney Rudy Giuliani played down the possibility that the president could pardon himself, suggesting he might have that authority but would be unwise to use it.“Pardoning himself would be unthinkable and probably lead to immediate impeachment,” Giuliani, a member of Trump’s legal team, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “And he has no need to do it, he’s done nothing wrong.”In Monday’s tweet, Trump said: “As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?” He then again decried special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe as a “never ending Witch Hunt.”Trump’s legal team is making clear that it will combat any effort to force the president to testify in front of a grand jury. Giuliani on Sunday underscored one of the main arguments in a newly unveiled letter sent by Trump’s lawyers to Mueller back in January: A president can’t be given a grand jury subpoena as part of the investigation into foreign meddling in the 2016 election.But Giuliani, in a series of television interviews, broke with one of their bolder arguments in the letter that a president could not have committed obstruction of justice because he has ultimate authority over any federal investigation.Yet the former New York City mayor, who was not on the legal team when the letter was written, added that Trump “probably does” have the power to pardon himself, an assertion challenged by legal scholars. He says the president’s legal team hasn’t discussed that option, which many observers believe could plunge the nation into a constitutional crisis.“I think the political ramifications would be tough,” Giuliani told ABC’s “This Week.” “Pardoning other people is one thing, pardoning yourself is tough.”Trump has issued two unrelated pardons in recent days and discussed others, a move that has been interpreted as a possible signal to allies ensnared in the Russia probe.The letter is dated January 29 and addressed to Mueller from John Dowd, a Trump lawyer who has since resigned from the legal team. Mueller has requested an interview with the president to determine whether he had criminal intent to obstruct the investigation into his associates’ possible links to Russia’s election interference.Giuliani said Sunday that a decision about an interview would not be made until after Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore, and he cast doubt that it would occur at all.“I mean, we’re leaning toward not,” Giuliani told ABC. “But look, if they can convince us that it will be brief, it would be to the point, there were five or six points they have to clarify, and with that, we can get this — this long nightmare for the — for the American public over.”In addition to the legal battles, Trump’s team and allies have waged a public relations campaign against Mueller and the Justice Department to discredit the investigation and soften the impact of the special counsel’s potential findings. Giuliani said last week that the special counsel probe may be an “entirely illegitimate investigation” and need to be curtailed because, in his estimation, it was based on inappropriately obtained information from an informant and James Comey’s memos.In reality, the FBI began a counterintelligence investigation in July 2016 to determine if Trump campaign associates were coordinating with Russia to tip the election. The investigation was opened after the hacking of Democratic emails that intelligence officials later formally attributed to Russia.Trump’s team has requested a briefing about the informant, but Giuliani said Sunday that the president would not order the Justice Department to comply because it would negatively affect public opinion. But he continued to cast doubt on the special counsel’s eventual findings, suggesting that Trump has already offered explanations for the matters being investigated and that the special counsel was biased against the president.“For every one of these things he did, we can write out five reasons why he did it,” Giuliani said. “If four of them are completely innocent and one of them is your assumption that it’s a guilty motive, which (Trump) would deny, you can’t possibly prosecute him.”Trump’s legal team has long pushed the special counsel to narrow the scope of its interview. Giuliani also suggested that Trump’s lawyers had been incorrect when they denied that the president was involved with the letter that offered an explanation for Donald Trump Jr.’s 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians who offered damaging information on Democrat Hillary Clinton.“This is the reason you don’t let the president testify,” Giuliani told ABC. “Our recollection keeps changing, or we’re not even asked a question and somebody makes an assumption.”If Trump does not consent to an interview, Mueller will have to decide whether to go forward with a historic grand jury subpoena. His team raised the possibility in March of subpoenaing the president, but it is not clear if it is still under active consideration.A court battle is likely if Trump’s team argues that the president can’t be forced to answer questions or be charged with obstruction of justice. US President Bill Clinton was charged with obstruction in 1998 by the House of Representatives as part of his impeachment trial. And one of the articles of impeachment prepared against President Richard Nixon in 1974 was for obstruction.
Khamenei: Israel a ‘cancerous tumor’ that ‘must be eradicated’-Iran's supreme leader says destruction of Jewish state is 'possible and will happen,' slams 'traitorous countries' for not defending Palestinians-By Tamar Pileggi-TOI-JUN 5,18
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday lashed out at Israel, calling the Jewish state the “cancerous tumor” of the region that must be “removed and eradicated.”In a series of tweets Sunday, Khamenei leveled harsh criticism at Israel for its handling of the violent Hamas-orchestrated “March of Return” protests along the Gaza border.“Our stance against Israel is the same stance we have always taken,” he said. “#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.”For Iranians, Khamenei said the issue of Palestine was not motivated by politics, but was “an issue of the heart… and faith.”For #Iran, the Palestinian cause is not a tactical issue, nor is it a 'political' strategy. It's an issue of beliefs, an issue of the heart and an issue of faith. 2/27/10#Palestine— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) June 3, 2018-A day earlier, the supreme leader took to Twitter to warn “traitorous countries” that refused to confront Israel militarily in order to appease the US, saying that “resistance is the only way to save #Palestine from oppression.”Khamenei has previously branded Israel as “barbaric,” “infanticidal,” and the “sinister, unclean rabid dog of the region.” More recently, he blamed “Zionists” for the anti-government demonstrations held across Iran earlier this year.His tweets over the weekend came amid a tense few days along the Gaza border that saw multiple exchanges of mortar and rocket fire and violence along the security fence.On Friday, a 21-year-old volunteer Gazan paramedic was shot dead as she tried to help evacuate wounded protesters near Israel’s perimeter fence. UN officials condemned Razan Najjar’s killing, and thousands of Palestinians attended her funeral on Saturday. The IDF said it was investigating the incident.Later Saturday night and early Sunday morning, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza resumed firing rockets over the border, shattering an official ceasefire agreement. In response, the IDF said Israeli jets carried out two rounds of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed Israel Monday morning for Europe to rally support from key allies for amending the international nuclear deal with Iran and for pushing Tehran-backed forces out of neighboring Syria.The Israeli leader is set to meet with leaders from Germany, France and Britain, beginning with German Chancellor Angela Merkel later on Monday.Netanyahu has long identified Iran as Israel’s greatest threat, pointing to its nuclear program, calls for Israel’s destruction and support of anti-Israel terrorist groups.Before departing, the prime minister told his cabinet that archenemy Iran would top his agenda and voiced optimism for a successful visit. Israel has been a leading critic of the international nuclear deal with Iran, and more recently, has said it will not allow Iran to establish a permanent military presence in war-torn Syria.Agencies contributed to this report.

Guatemala volcano death toll up to 33, expected to rise-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
EL RODEO, Guatemala — Rescuers used heavy machinery and shovels found the bodies of more victims of an eruption at Guatemala's Volcano of Fire on Monday, and rescuers pulled 10 people still alive from ash drifts and mud flows.The head of the country's disaster agency, Sergio Cabanas, said at least 33 people were dead, and the death toll was expected to rise.He said rescuers using helicopters had rescued 10 people from areas hit by thick ash, mud or lava.Residents of El Rodeo, about 8 miles (12 kilometres ) downslope from the crater, said they were caught unaware by fast-moving pyroclastic flows when the volcano west of Guatemala City exploded Sunday, sending towering clouds of ash miles into the air.Searing flows of ash mixed with water and debris down its flanks, blocking roads and burning homes.The charred landscape left behind was still too hot to touch or even to pull bodies from in many parts, melting the shoes of rescuers. Workers told of finding bodies so thickly coated with ash they appeared to be statues. Inhaling ash or hot volcanic gases can asphyxiate people quickly.Hilda Lopez said the volcanic mud swept into her village of San Miguel Los Lotes, just below the mountain's flanks. She still doesn't know where her mother or her sister are."We were at a party, celebrating the birth of a baby, when one of the neighbours shouted at us to come out and see the lava that was coming," Lopez recalled. "We didn't believe it, and when we went out the hot mud was already coming down the street.""My mother was stuck there, she couldn't get out," said Lopez, weeping and holding her face in her hands.Disaster agency spokesman David de Leon said 18 bodies had been found in San Miguel Los Lotes. Lopez's husband, Joel Gonzalez, said his father was had been unable to escape and was believed to be "buried back there, at the house."In the village of El Rodeo, heavily armed soldiers wearing blue masks to ward off the dust stood guard behind yellow tape cordoning off the scene as orange-helmeted workers operated a backhoe. A group of residents arrived at the scene with shovels and work boots.Some locals said they never learned of the danger until it was upon them — and were critical of authorities."Conred (the disaster agency) never told us to leave. When the lava was already here they passed by in their pickup trucks telling at us to leave, but the cars did not stop to pick up the people," said Rafael Letran, a resident of El Rodeo. "The government is good at stealing, but when it comes to helping people they lack spark."Eddy Sanchez, director of the country's seismology and volcanology institute, said the flows reached temperatures of about 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit (700 Celsius).At least 20 people were injured, and authorities have said they feared the death toll could rise with an undetermined number of people unaccounted for. The disaster agency said 3,265 people had been evacuated.Dramatic video showed a fast-moving lahar, or flow of pyroclastic material and slurry, slamming into and partly destroying a bridge on a highway between Sacatepequez and Escuintla.Among the fatalities were four people, including a disaster agency official, killed when lava set a house on fire in El Rodeo, National Disaster Coordinator Sergio Cabanas said. Two children were burned to death as they watched the volcano's second eruption this year from a bridge, he added.Ash from the volcano, which lies about 27 miles (44 kilometres ) west of Guatemala City, fell on the capital area as well as the departments of Sacatepequez, Chimaltenango and Escuintla. Streets and houses were covered in the colonial town of Antigua, a popular tourist destination.Aviation authorities closed Guatemala City's international airport because of the danger posed to planes, but the airport was reopened at mid-morning Monday after workers cleared away ash.One of Central America's most active volcanos, the conical Volcan de Fuego reaches an altitude of 12,346 feet (3,763 metres ) above sea level at its peak.Sonia Perez D., The Associated Press.
Three people trapped by lava airlifted to safety near Hawaii volcano-[Reuters]-By Terray Sylvester-YAHOONEWS-June 4, 2018
PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Three people were airlifted to safety on Sunday morning as lava from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano threatened an isolated area where they had become trapped, the National Guard said.The two men and a woman became the latest in a series of evacuations on Hawaii's Big Island forced by the volcano, which has been erupting since May 3.On Saturday, National Guard troops, police and firefighters ushered evacuees from homes on the eastern tip of the island, hours before lava cut off road access to the area, officials said.A stream of lava as wide as three football fields flowed over a highway near a junction at Kapoho, a seaside community rebuilt after a destructive eruption of Kilauea in 1960.About a dozen people remain in the area, but it is not clear whether they are in neighborhoods that are immediately threatened by lava, officials said.The lava flow left Kapoho and the adjacent development of Vacationland cut off from the rest of the island by road, according to the Hawaii County Civil Defense agency.Lava also destroyed a freshwater lake, boiling away all of the water in it, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported late on Saturday.Authorities since Wednesday had been urging residents of the area to leave before lava spewing from a volcanic fissure at the eastern foot of Kilauea reached the area.The final phase of the evacuation was carried out late on Friday and early on Saturday by fire and police department personnel, with help from the Hawaii National Guard and public works teams, county civil defense spokeswoman Janet Snyder told Reuters by email.An estimated 500 people live in the Kapoho area, but Snyder said it was not immediately clear how many residents, if any, had chosen to stay behind.Another 2,000 people have already been evacuated from Leilani Estates, an area further west where dozens of homes have been devoured or cut off by rivers of lava streaming over the landscape since May 3.For those whose homes have been unscathed, the prolonged strain of uncertainty has grown increasingly difficult.(Reporting by Terray Sylvester; Additional reporting by Sharon Bernstein; Editing by Sandra Maler)
Rains fail to quench western U.S. wildfires-[Reuters]-By Rich McKay-June 5, 2018
(Reuters) - Rains fell on two massive wildfires in the U.S. southwest but it was not enough to quench the fires that were burning through thousands of acres in New Mexico and Colorado early Monday, officials said."The rains came and we're glad of it," said Judith Dyess, a spokeswoman for the joint agency, South West Incident Management Team in New Mexico. "But it didn't do it. We're still burning out of control.""Overnight the fires calm down some, with the lower humidity," Dyess said, "But we're working around the clock."Progress was made, she said. The fires were 23 percent contained by early Monday in the larger of the two fires, the so-called Ute Park Fire in Colfax County, New Mexico.That was a big improvement from the fire being zero percent contained early Sunday before the rains came, Dyess said.It has already scorched some 30,000 acres near Cimarron, a town of about 1,100 people northeast of Santa Fe, according to a bulletin on the New Mexico Fire Information website.Ten fire crews, totaling 510 people, 32 fire engines, eight helicopters and eight bulldozers, were deployed, officials said.About 300 structures were threatened in Cimarron, where officials issued a mandatory evacuation order on Friday.The town lies just northeast of the Santa Fe National Forest, which was closed to the public indefinitely on Friday in a rare measure prompted by the heightened fire risk from prolonged drought.About a dozen outbuildings went up in flames on an adjacent ranch, fire officials said.The cause of the fire, which began on Thursday and has been burning through grassland and pine forest, is not known.A second wildfire started on Friday about 10 miles north of Durango, Colorado, raging across more than 2,255 acres late Sunday and forcing the evacuation of about 1,500 people near the southern border of the San Juan National Forest, the U.S. Forest Service said.Air tankers dropped a red fire retardant slurry at the weekend on land near the fire 10 miles north of Durango along Highway 550, according to the Denver Post. Six helicopters dropped large buckets of water on the flames.The fire was 10 percent contained, according to a fire bulletin from the National Weather Service (NWS) early Monday."Unfortunately there's no more rain in sight," said Brian Roth, a meteorologist with the NWS's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland."That's it, what they got," he said. "One and done. The rains have moved west into Arizona."(Reporting by Rich McKay in Atlanta; Additional reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee and Peter Szekely in New York; Editing by Paul Tait)

At least 62 people still homeless after major spring flood-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
At least 62 people remain out of their homes after record flooding hit areas of the province in April and May, according to the Emergency Measures Organization.Geoffrey Downey, a spokesperson for the Emergency Measures Organization, said the number of people who are still homeless after the flood could actually be higher.The estimate of 62 only accounts for people living in temporary housing registered with the Red Cross and not residents living with friends and family and not registered."Some people are unfortunately experts with this," said Downey in an interview with Information Morning Fredericton on Monday."This isn't the first time they've had to do it."Work moving along-The provincial government says recovery work is well underway.According to emergency organization, 2,672 people have applied for disaster financial assistance.While Downey wasn't aware of any of those payments being sent out, he did say 108 people have received advance payments.Out of those, 1,871 requested a health and safety inspection, 1,420 of which have been completed as of June 1.According to Downey, that number would've gone up over the weekend."Weekends are very productive times for the health and safety inspection teams. People are around and the work is getting done," said Downey."Hopefully in days to come we'll be able to report that more people are getting back into their homes."Mike Mallery, an inspector with the provincial government, said most of the properties between Fredericton and Saint John on the St. John River have had their inspections completed.He said the inspection unit is switching their focus to other areas."We still have some outlying properties throughout the province that people have registered that are away from the St. John River and there are still a few probably up around Grand Falls area that we need to pick up," said Mallery.'Back to normal'-The inspection unit has nine teams of five inspectors working on the inspections, according to Mallery."They assess the properties, give the homeowner some idea of what they need to do to get themselves back to normal," said Mallery.Mallery described the extent of damage homeowners have to deal with as "wide [ranging].""It could be ranging from anything from perhaps just an inch of water, debris on the lawn to water onto the first floor, basement structural damage," said Mallery.Downey said if damage is extensive enough, 80 per cent of the property's assessed value, the province would offer to buy out the homeowner, but there are no plans to pay for moving homes to higher ground."The province isn't going to pay to lift your home," said Downey.Downey said it's not too late to sign up for disaster financial assistance and no deadline has been put in place for applications."We're encouraging people that suffered damage to register as soon as possible, but at this point we don't have a deadline so there's no great rush," said Downey.

Justices side with Colorado baker on same-sex wedding cake-[Associated Press]-Mark Sherman, YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court ruled Monday for a Colorado baker who wouldn't make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in a limited decision that leaves for another day the larger issue of whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to gay and lesbian people.The justices' decision turned on what the court described as anti-religious bias on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips. The justices voted 7-2 that the commission violated Phillips' rights under the First Amendment.Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the larger issue "must await further elaboration" in the courts. Appeals in similar cases are pending, including one at the Supreme Court from a florist who didn't want to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.The disputes, Kennedy wrote, "must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market."The same-sex couple at the heart of the case, Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, complained to the Colorado commission in 2012 after they visited Phillips' Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver and the baker quickly told them he would not create a cake for their wedding celebration.Colorado law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and the commission concluded that Phillips' refusal violated the law, despite Phillips' argument that he is opposed to same-sex marriage on religious grounds. Colorado state courts upheld the determination.But when the justices heard arguments in December, Kennedy was plainly bothered by comments by a commission member that the justice said disparaged religion. The commissioner seemed "neither tolerant nor respectful of Mr. Phillips' religious beliefs," Kennedy said in December.That same sentiment suffused his opinion on Monday. "The commission's hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment's guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion," he wrote.Liberal justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan joined the conservative justices in the outcome. Kagan wrote separately to emphasize the limited ruling.Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.In a statement issued after the ruling Monday, Phillips' Supreme Court lawyer praised the decision."Government hostility toward people of faith has no place in our society, yet the state of Colorado was openly antagonistic toward Jack's religious beliefs about marriage. The court was right to condemn that," said Kristen Waggoner, the Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel who argued Phillips' case.Waggoner said Phillips is willing to sell ready-made products to anyone who enters his store. But, "he simply declines to express messages or celebrate events that violate his deeply held beliefs," she said.Phillips was at his shop Monday morning, where he was busy answering the phone and getting congratulations from his supporters in person, including his pastor. One woman brought him a bouquet of flowers and others hugged him.The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the couple in its legal fight, said it was pleased the court did not endorse a broad religion-based exemption from anti-discrimination laws."The court reversed the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision based on concerns unique to the case but reaffirmed its longstanding rule that states can prevent the harms of discrimination in the marketplace, including against LGBT people." said Louise Melling, the ACLU's deputy legal director.Several legal disputes are pending over wedding services, similar to the Phillips case. Video producers, graphic artists and florists are among business owners who say they oppose same-sex marriage on religious grounds and don't want to participate in same-sex weddings.Barronelle Stutzman, a florist in Richland, Washington, has appealed a state Supreme Court ruling that found she violated state law for refusing to provide the wedding flowers for two men who were about to be married.The justices could decide what to do with that appeal by the end of June.___Associated Press writer P.

A LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT MIX BAG OF EVERYTHING ACTUALLY CAME TO REALITY. HURRAY.THE REST ARE STILL IN LA LA DELUTION LAND.
Wynne pinpoints the moment she realized she couldn't win-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne says she can pinpoint the moment she realized she wouldn't have a chance of winning the Ontario election.It was just after the final leaders' debate, held at CBC's Toronto headquarters on May 27. "I think I did pretty well in the debate," she said during an interview on Metro Morning on Monday. "But once the debate was over, we didn't see the numbers move."Those discouraging poll numbers, showing the Liberals trailing far behind the Progressive Conservatives and NDP for Thursday's vote, "meant that we needed to be honest with people that we're not going to be the government," she said. Then came Saturday's emotional announcement, when Wynne acknowledged she would not return as premier.So what does that mean for Liberal candidates? Disputing the idea that she was throwing them under the bus or giving Ontarians tacit permission to vote for the NDP, Wynne said Monday she made Saturday's announcement because she "needed to get myself out of the way." "What I've said to them is, 'Look, this is going to help you in your ridings,'" she said. Paving the way for a PC majority? Wynne said voters are expressing anxiety at the prospect of an NDP or PC government, but that "there is another way.""Here's what I know: the more Liberals we can elect, the more chance there won't be an NDP or Conservative majority," she said. But an hour after Wynne appeared on Metro Morning, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath came out swinging, charging Wynne with asking Ontarians to play a "risky game" that could put the Progressive Conservatives in power."I just fear that if people don't think about what she's asking, which is basically to likely put Doug Ford in the premier's chair, then we could be in a serious situation," Horwath told Metro Morning host Matt Galloway, calling Wynne's announcement both surprising and "disappointing." CBC's poll tracker indicates the NDP has a narrow lead over the PC Party, but continues to favour Ford's party to win a majority government due to a better regional distribution of votes. Wynne still wants to be an MPP -Until this weekend's admission, Wynne had been defiant in the face of daunting poll numbers that suggest the Liberal Party could lose official party status after the vote. In Ontario, parties need at least eight seats to be formally recognized.On Monday, Wynne reaffirmed that regardless of how her party fares on election day, she would like to continue to serve in Don Valley West, where she was first elected as MPP in 2003. "This is the community that I love," she told Galloway. "I want to continue to represent them."
Police clear out two more migrant camps in Paris-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-June 5, 2018
PARIS (Reuters) - French police began on Monday to clear out two illegal refugee camp sites in Paris, following a similar operation last week, in the government's latest attempt to deal with a migrant influx that France has been facing for the past three years.A statement from the Paris police department said authorities were in the process of clearing out two illegal refugee campsites at the Porte des Poissonniers, in northeast Paris, and another site next to the city's Canal Saint Martin.Last week, authorities had cleared out around 1,000 migrants from the larger "Millenaire" camp, also in northeast Paris. Those migrants had subsequently been taken to various accommodation centers around the capital.Europe has faced a migrant crisis since 2015, following wars in Libya and Syria. More than 1 million people from Africa and the Middle East, as well as many from Afghanistan, have tried to reach the continent via Turkey or by sea.In France, much of the migrant influx ended up in the northern port of Calais, where a giant slum was cleared by the authorities in late 2016. Most of the rest have gathered in Paris and the southeast near the Franco-Italian border.(Reporting by Sudip Kar-Gupta; Editing by Simon Cameron-Moore)
