Record number of reports criticizing Israel said to be released by UN next month-Watchdog group expects UNHRC to publish findings of investigation into Gaza clashes, ‘blacklist’ of companies operating in settlements-By TOI staff-FEB 17,19
The United Nations Humans Rights Council is expected to release a series of reports critical of Israel next month, including one reportedly accusing the military of war crimes over its response to violent protests by Palestinians on the Gaza border.According to the pro-Israel watchdog group UN Watch, the March 18 session in Geneva will also see the release of a “blacklist” of companies operating in West Bank settlements.Other reports are set to accuse Israel of alleged human rights violations in the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war, and in territories claimed by the Palestinians for a future state, Channel 12 news reported Thursday.The main focus of the meeting will likely be the findings of an investigation that the UNHRC approved in May into Israeli troops’ killings of Palestinians in riots along the security fence with the Gaza Strip.Israel vowed not to cooperate with the probe and defended its response to the clashes, which it has accused the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group of using as cover to carry out attacks and attempts to breach the border.The investigation is being headed by Santiago Canton of Argentina, a former aide to US president Jimmy Carter.Quoting an unnamed official at the UN, Channel 12 said this week that the report is expected to frame Israel’s actions as war crimes and crimes against humanity, while portraying the Gazans’ protests as legitimate.Some 190 Palestinians have been killed since the weekly “March of Return” clashes began last March, according to figures from the Associated Press, dozens of whom were later acknowledged by Hamas as its members.An Israeli soldier was also killed during that time by sniper fire from Gaza.Despite diplomatic opposition by Israel and the United States, the UNHRC’s March session is expected to also include the publication of a list of companies operating in areas captured in the 1967 war, potentially exposing them to legal action overseas.The UNHRC first voted in 2016 for the creation of the database, which is intended to list all companies doing business with Israelis situated in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, but its release has since been repeatedly delayed.Hillel Neuer, the head of UN Watch, said the number of reports focusing on Israel set to be released next month appeared to be a “world record.”“It’s time to say enough is enough,” Neuer said in a video filmed outside UNHRC headquarters in Geneva, where UN Watch is planning a rally for March 18.He also accused the council of singling out Israel “while giving a free pass to the world’s worst abusers.”Israel is not a member of the 47-member UNHRC, while the US pulled out in June 2018 and later cut its funding to the organization, partly due to what Washington called its “unrelenting bias” against Israel.
Trump-era US, Europe rift wide open at Munich security talks-EU leaders voice dismay at Trump decisions deemed hostile NATO allies, as Merkel warns against erosion of multilateral cooperation to tackle global problems-By Frank Zeller-TOI-FEB 17,19
MUNICH, Germany (AFP) — The United States and European powers voiced sharply differing views on issues from Mideast security to trade Saturday, laying bare a deep trans-Atlantic rift in the era of US President Donald Trump.German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders at a three-day international security conference voiced dismay at a range of Trump decisions deemed hostile to America’s NATO allies.In one awkward moment at the Munich Security Conference Friday, US Vice President Mike Pence said he was bringing greetings from Trump, only to be met with stony silence from a room full of national leaders, ministers and generals.Merkel said a looming new shot expected in a trade war — Washington readying to declare European car imports a “national security threat” — was “frightening.”Trump’s announcement he will soon pull American troops out of Syria in particular has left allies scratching their heads about how to prevent further chaos and instability there.French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, whose country contributes about 1,200 troops in the region, asked why the US would create a power vacuum that could benefit its declared enemy Iran, calling it a “mystery.”A French government source criticized the Trump administration’s approach as “we’re leaving, you’re staying” and added: “They’re trying to manage the consequences of a hasty decision and making us carry the responsibility.” ‘Old world, new world’ In his main speech Saturday, Pence delivered more stern advice for other nations in Europe and beyond.He reiterated Washington’s contention that Iran was planning a new “Holocaust” and told European powers to scrap the 2015 nuclear agreement with Tehran that Trump ripped up last year.He also criticized a recent initiative of France, Germany and Britain to allow European companies to continue business operations in the Islamic republic despite US sanctions.EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini said Friday the bloc was determined to preserve the “full implementation” of the deal, stressing it was vital to European security.German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas argued that without the pact, “the region will not be safer and would actually be one step closer to an open confrontation.”Pence praised some NATO allies for having raised defense spending but reminded others that their contributions were still falling short of the target of two per cent of GDP.And he reiterated strong US opposition to the Russia-Germany gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 being built that Trump has charged makes the largest EU economy a “captive” of Russia.“The United States commends all our European partners who have taken a strong stance against Nord Stream 2, and we commend others to do the same,” Pence said.He went on to also criticize pending weapons purchases by NATO allies “from our adversaries” — seen by Moscow media as a reference to a planned Russia-Turkey arms deal.“We cannot ensure the defense of the West if our allies grow dependent on the East,” Pence said.On crisis-wracked Venezuela, he called on the 28-member EU to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido “as the only legitimate president.”“Once more the Old World can take a stance in support of freedom in the New World,” he said. ‘Proud of our cars’ But there was spirited pushback from Merkel, the veteran leader who has sometimes been dubbed the leader of the free world, and who has spoken out more strongly in her final term as chancellor due to end in 2021.On Syria, where US-backed Kurdish-Arab forces were clearing the final scrap of territory held by Islamic State jihadists this week, she openly challenged the wisdom of the looming US troop withdrawal.“Is it a good idea for the Americans to suddenly and quickly withdraw from Syria?” she asked. “Or will it once more strengthen the capacity of Iran and Russia to exert their influence?”On the trade dispute, she insisted that in Germany “we are proud of our cars” and explained that the biggest plant of luxury brand BMW was not in Bavaria but in South Carolina, from where it exports vehicles to China.“All I can say is it would be good if we could resume proper talks with one another,” she said.On Nord Stream 2, Merkel said that Europe was already buying Russian gas through other pipelines and declared that “a Russian gas molecule is a Russian gas molecule, no matter whether it comes via Ukraine or through the Baltic Sea.”She also argued that the West must maintain dialogue with Russia, despite the Ukraine conflict and other deep differences.Most crucially, Merkel cautioned against the erosion of multilateral cooperation to tackle global problems, saying that “we must not simply smash it to pieces.”

Iran confirms second failed satellite launch, alleges possible US sabotage-Foreign Minister Zarif tells NBC the ‘same gang’ who pushed for Iraq War are ‘at it again’ by encouraging Trump administration to confront Tehran-By TOI staff-FEB 17,19
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif confirmed that Tehran attempted a second satellite launch earlier this month despite US criticism that its space program is helping to develop ballistic missiles.In an interview with NBC news screened Friday, Zarif said it was “quite possible” the United States was sabotaging the Iranian space program.“We don’t know yet,” he said. “We need to look into it very carefully.”Zarif said Tehran was already investigating the failed satellite launches in January and February, but was now “looking into the specifics” of a sabotage campaign following a report in The New York Times this week.Current and former US officials told the Times the Trump administration had accelerated a George W. Bush-era program to sabotage Iran’s development of rockets and missiles.Last week, images released by Colorado-based company DigitalGlobe showed that rockets previously spotted at the Imam Khomeini Space Center were gone, with what appeared to be burn marks on its launch pad.The US alleges such launches defy a UN Security Council resolution prohibiting Iran from engaging in activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads.Iran maintains its satellite launches and rocket tests do not have a military component. Tehran also says they don’t violate a United Nations resolution that only “called upon” it not to conduct such tests.Over the past decade, Iran has sent several short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launched a monkey into space.Iran usually displays space achievements in February during the anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the revolution amid Iran facing increasing pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump, which has adopted a hawkish policy toward the Islamic republic.This week, US Vice President Mike Pence demanded America’s European NATO allies drop the nuclear deal with Iran and join it in seeking to cripple the regime. The EU rejected the demand on Friday.At a US-led conference on the Middle East hosted by Poland, Pence accused Iran of plotting a “new Holocaust” with its opposition to Israel and regional ambitions in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.In the interview aired Friday, Zarif said the “same gang” that was behind the 2003 Iraq War were “at it again” by pushing for war with Iran.“I’m not saying President Trump’s administration, I’m saying people in President Trump’s administration are trying to create the same eventuality and I believe they will fail,” Zarif told NBC.Though Zarif expressed hope that “some sense will prevail,” he warned that “people will find out that it’s suicidal to engage in a war with Iran.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Iranians cry ‘revenge’ at funeral of suicide bomb victims-Iranian general blames Pakistan for the targeted attack on Revolutionary Guards in a volatile province bordering both countries-By AFP-TOI-FEB 17,19
Tens of thousands of Iranians called for “revenge” Saturday at the funeral of 27 Revolutionary Guards killed in a suicide attack perpetrated by jihadists that Tehran accuses Pakistan of supporting.“The government of Pakistan must pay the price of harboring these terrorist groups and this price will undoubtedly be very high,” said Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, referring to jihadist outfit Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice).“The Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer observe the previous reservations and will directly act to counter such acts,” Jafari told mourners gathered at the city of Isfahan’s Bozorgmehr Square.The comments by Jafari, commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, came a day ahead of a planned two-day visit to Pakistan by Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Iran’s regional arch-rival Saudi Arabia.Jafari blamed Pakistan’s army and Inter-Services Intelligence agency, saying that “sheltering and silence” amounts to supporting the perpetrators.As he left the podium, people shouted “Commander of Sepah [Farsi for Revolutionary Guards] — Revenge! Revenge!”The Wednesday bombing targeted a busload of Revolutionary Guards in the volatile southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan, which straddles the border with Pakistan.Jaish al-Adl was formed in 2012 as a successor to the Sunni extremist group Jundallah (Soldiers of God), which waged a deadly insurgency for a decade before it was severely weakened by the capture and execution of its leader Abdolmalek Rigi in 2010.Jafari also blasted “the traitorous governments of Saudi Arabia and [the] Emirates” and said Iran will no longer tolerate their “hidden support for anti-Islam thugs and Takfiri [apostate] groups.”He called on President Hassan Rouhani and the country’s Supreme National Security Council to give the guards more freedom to carry out “retaliatory operations,” but did not elaborate.Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has linked the perpetrators of Wednesday’s attack to “the spying agencies of some regional and trans-regional countries.”Black flags attached to lamp-posts adorned Isfahan as the city prepared for the funeral and two days of mourning.When the bodies of the troops arrived on the back of Toyota vans — the guards’ signature vehicles — their comrades, women in black veils and young men in jeans were there to greet them.Tens of thousands chanted “Down with America!” and “We will never submit!”Iran’s flag could be seen at half-mast in Bozorgmehr Square’s southeastern side, and the crowd chanted “Allahu Akbar” each time the speaker read the names of the dead.The troops killed in the bombing belonged to the Guards’ 14th Imam Hussein Division, which is based in Isfahan province, according to Tasnim news agency.Aged from 21 to 52, each will be buried in his hometown after the funeral.A housekeeper originally from Khuzestan province, where a deadly attack killed 24 last year, told AFP of the thirst for revenge.“We demand that the blood of these troops be avenged,” said Tayebbeh Rezaee, 34. “They cannot weaken the Islamic Republic in any way — not war, not economic attacks. So they have to stoop to such acts.”Sistan-Baluchistan has long been a flashpoint, where Pakistan-based Baluchi separatists and jihadists carry out cross-border raids.A Revolutionary Guard was killed and five wounded in a February 2 attack claimed by Jaish al-Adl on a base of the Basij militia in the town of Nikshahr, some way from the border.One of the wounded — Khodarahm Heidari, who was critically injured in that attack — died on Saturday, semi-official news agency ISNA reported.On January 29 three members of an Iranian bomb squad sent to the scene of an explosion in the provincial capital Zahedan were wounded when a second device blew up as they were trying to defuse it, police said at the time.And in early December two people were killed and around 40 others wounded in the port city of Chabahar, also in Sistan-Baluchistan, in an attack which Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blamed on “foreign-backed terrorists” — a reference to Sunni Muslim extremists.In October, Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for abducting 12 Iranian security personnel near the border with Pakistan.
Iran general claims Israel, US behind deadly attack on Revolutionary Guards-IRGC Chief Mohammad Ali Jafari vows to retaliate against UAE and Saudi Arabia over suicide bombing that killed 27, says Pakistan backing the perpetrators-By EBRAHIM NOROOZI-TOI-FEB 17,19
ISFAHAN, Iran (AP) — The head of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard threatened to retaliate against neighboring Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates over a suicide car bombing this week that killed 27 members of the elite organization.Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari spoke late Friday at one of two funeral ceremonies for the victims of Wednesday’s attack near the southeastern city of Zahedan. He claimed, without providing evidence, that the United States and Israel ordered Saudi Arabia and the Emirates to carry out the attack, which also wounded 12.“We definitely will retaliate,” Jafari said in comments reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency Saturday.Wednesday’s attack was claimed by Baluch separatists. The dead included officers and young soldiers, including a 20-year-old in the Isfahan-based Guard’s forces.The assault killed members of the Guard’s Imam Hussein division, which played a significant role in various battles during the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.The bombing raised the specter of possible Iranian retaliation against a Sunni militant group called Jaish al-Adl that claimed responsibility for the attack. The group largely operates across the border in nuclear-armed Pakistan. Recent militant assaults inside Iran have sparked retaliatory ballistic missile strikes in Iraq and Syria.In recent months, assaults by Jaish al-Adl, or “Army of Justice,” have increased. Since its founding in 2012, it has abducted or killed border guards in hit-and-run assaults from its havens in Pakistan. It kidnapped 11 Iranian border guards in October. Five later were returned to Iran and six remained held.Jafari said Iran expects Pakistan to “punish” the group, which allegedly took refuge in the country’s southwest. “If they do not punish them, our retaliatory measures will be carried out,” he said. Jafari said the Pakistani government knows where the attackers are harbored and accused Pakistan security forces of supporting them.Recent militant assaults inside Iran have sparked retaliatory ballistic missile strikes in Iraq and Syria.Tehran immediately linked Wednesday’s attack in Iran’s restive southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province to a US-led conference in Warsaw largely focused on Iran, just two days after the nation marked the 40th anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution.The bomb struck a bus traveling on a road between the cities of Khash and Zahedan, a mountainous region along the Pakistani border that is also near Afghanistan. Images after the blast published by semi-official news agencies showed the explosion tore the bus apart, as passers-by used the light of their cellphones to illuminate the debris.The Guard, which answers only to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a statement saying a vehicle loaded with explosives targeted a bus carrying border guards affiliated with its force.Sistan and Baluchistan province, which lies on a major opium trafficking route, has seen occasional clashes between Iranian forces and Baluch separatists, as well as drug traffickers.

New US spending bill includes $200m increase in defense aid to Israel-Legislation signed by Trump to avoid second government shutdown adds to $3.8b earmarked by Obama administration in 2016-By Eric Cortellessa-TOI-FEB 17,19
A new spending bill signed Friday by US President Donald Trump to prevent another government shutdown over border funding allocates an additional $200 million increase in defense assistance to Israel.The provision tucked in the 1,159-page bill goes beyond the $3.8 billion in funds already designated for security assistance to Israel under the 2016 memorandum of understanding between the Obama White House and Netanyahu government.The standoff over border funding had led to the longest government shutdown in US history, and to avoid another, Trump on Friday reluctantly signed the funding bill that included just $1.4 billion of the $5.7 billion he had demanded to build a wall along the southern border.Trump also declared a national emergency at the US-Mexico border to secure more money for his long-promised wall by exercising a broad interpretation of his presidential powers that is certain to draw stiff legal challenges.The increase in aid to Israel was applauded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. “AIPAC commends Congress for strongly supporting Israeli security and strengthening the US-Israel relationship,” the pro-Israel lobby said in a statement. “These funds help Israel maintain its qualitative military edge in the region in order to defend itself, by itself, from mounting threats on its borders.”The spending bill also includes provisions that would extend for two years Department of Defense’s authority to house emergency weapons in Israel and provide Israel with loan guarantees for five years.Earlier this year, members of Congress sought to include in the spending bill legislation that would codify the existing $38 billion MOU into US law. That measure was ultimately not included in the spending bill struck between Democratic and Republican leaders this week.The legislation comes after Trump announced in December he was withdrawing American troops from Syria. Israel has repeatedly warned in recent years that Iran is seeking to establish a military presence in Syria, where it is fighting alongside its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah and Russia to restore the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.Israeli officials have also warned that America’s absence would open the door for Tehran to create a so-called “land bridge” from Iran, through Iraq and Syria, into Lebanon and to the Mediterranean Sea. Over the last several years, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria against targets linked to Iran.
Dismissed employee kills five co-workers in Illinois factory shooting-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Robert Chiarito-February 16, 2019
AURORA, Ill. (Reuters) - A gunman opened fire at an Illinois factory just after receiving notice of termination from his job there on Friday, killing five fellow workers and wounding five policemen before he was slain by police, authorities said.The assailant, identified as Gary Martin, 45, had worked at the Henry Pratt Company for 15 years before Friday's violence unfolded at the firm's sprawling facility in Aurora, 40 miles (65 km) west of Chicago, Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman said.At a late-night news conference, Ziman said it was not yet clear whether the suspect, armed with a Smith & Wesson handgun, was carrying the weapon at the time of his dismissal or whether he "went to retrieve it" before opening fire.An eyewitness and fellow employee told CNN he saw the gunman running through the building carrying a pistol fitted with a laser sight.Also uncertain was the degree to which the shooting was premeditated, Ziman told reporters."The information that we have indicates he was being terminated today," she said, adding that the reason for his dismissal was not known to police.The chief said investigators were still looking into whether the gunman had a prior criminal history, but public records show Martin was convicted in 1995 for aggravated assault in Mississippi. Convicted felons are generally barred from possessing firearms.The bloodshed marked the latest spasm of gun violence in a nation where mass shootings have become almost commonplace. It came one day after the one-year anniversary of the massacre of 17 people by a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.WOUNDED OFFICERS EXPECTED TO LIVE-The five policemen who were struck by gunfire and a sixth employee who was also wounded were being treated at local hospitals and were expected to survive, Ziman told reporters.Detectives were still working to establish what relationship any of the victims - all men - had to the killer and whether any were his supervisors.She said the five wounded officers were shot in the first five minutes of their arrival at the factory-warehouse plant, which employs about 200 workers and occupies 29,000 square feet in a working-class district of Aurora, the second-largest city in Illinois. One officer was hit just outside the building.After the initial volleys of gunfire in the early minutes of the rampage, no further shots were fired until additional police who swarmed the factory confronted the suspect about 90 minutes later holed up inside the building. He shot at them, and they returned fire, killing the gunman, Ziman said."May God bless the brave law enforcement officers who continued to run toward danger," Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker told a late-afternoon news conference.Ziman said police had searched the gunman's residence as part of their investigation of what she called a "classic workplace shooting," and preliminary evidence indicated he had acted alone.Martin's LinkedIn page listed him as a valve assembler at the Henry Pratt plant, a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Mueller Water Products."Mueller Water Products is shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific tragedy that occurred today at our Henry Pratt facility," Mueller said in a message on Twitter."Our hearts are with the victims and their loved ones, the first responders, the Aurora community and the entire Mueller family during this extremely difficult time," the company said.(Reporting by Robert Chiarito in Aurora; Additional reporting by Suzannah Gonzales and Karen Pierog in Chicago, Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee and Steve Gorman and Dan Whitcomb in Los Angeles; Writing by Dan Whitcomb and Steve Gorman; Editing by Bill Tarrant, Diane Craft and Darren Schuettler)

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Weak El Niño likely to prevail through spring: U.S. forecaster-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-February 17, 2019
(Reuters) - Weak El Niño conditions are present and there is a 55-percent chance the weather pattern will prevail through the northern hemisphere spring this year, a U.S. government weather forecaster said on Thursday.The last El Niño, a warming of ocean surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific every few years, occurred from around 2015 to 2016, and caused weather-related crop damage, fires and flash floods."Due to the expected weak strength, widespread or significant global impacts are not anticipated. However, the impacts often associated with El Nino may occur in some locations during the next few months," the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said in its monthly forecast.While the chance of the weather phenomenon emerging during spring was pegged at 65 percent in the CPC's forecast early last month, the latest data showed El Niño conditions formed in January.El Niño can affect rainfall and temperature patterns in many regions, with important consequences for agricultural and food security sectors, according to the United Nations World Meteorological Organization.(Reporting by Arpan Varghese in Bengaluru; Editing by Bernadette Baum)
Monster mudslides, water rescues as storm punishes California-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Andrew Hay-February 14, 2019
(Reuters) - Motorists swam for their lives and residents were rescued from homes sliding downhill as the wettest winter storm of the year triggered floods and mudslides across California on Thursday.In Sausalito, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, a mudslide carried away two homes and engulfed five cars, sending one woman to the hospital, Southern Marin Fire Department tweeted. Dozens of homes were evacuated in the area.In Cabazon, about 84 miles (135 km) east of Los Angeles, two motorists swam from their vehicle and were rescued by helicopter after their car was engulfed by churning brown floodwaters, a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman said."We've had multiple water rescues throughout the day, I think today our helicopter is up to about a dozen," said CalFire spokesman Richard Cordova. "We haven't seen rain like this in 10 years."Three Delta Air Lines passengers suffered minor injuries when severe turbulence shook a flight headed from southern California to Seattle on Wednesday, according to authorities.The moisture-rich tropical storm, known as an atmospheric river, has lashed Northern California with rain and snow since late Tuesday. The moisture flow, nicknamed the "Pineapple Express" for its origin near Hawaii, unleashed its full force overnight.Power lines, trees and car-sized boulders littered roads in San Diego County and flash flood warnings were in place after regions like Palomar Mountain got nearly 10 inches (25 cm) of rain, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).WILDFIRE AREAS AT RISK-To the north, Venado, a town near San Francisco famed for its rainfall, got more than one foot of precipitation over 48 hours.Areas particularly at risk were those that suffered deadly wildfires in the last two years, leaving scorched hillsides devoid of vegetation and prone to collapse.Residents in Northern California’s Butte County - where the Camp fire killed 86 people and destroyed nearly 19,000 structures last year - were told to leave their homes over concerns a creek could overflow and flood communities.Hundreds of people in Lake Elsinore, 56 miles east of Los Angeles, got mandatory evacuation orders on fears hillsides scorched by the 2018 Holy Fire could turn into debris flows.To the north Redding, the town devastated by the Carr Fire in 2018, was hit with around 14 inches of snow that shut down Interstate 5 south of the Oregon border and knocked out power to thousands of customers.A couple more feet of snow were expected to fall in the Sierra Nevada Moutains of northern California through Friday, said NWS meteorologist Hannah Chandler-Cooley in Sacramento.(Reporting by Rich McKay; Additional reporting by Andrew Hay and Tracy Rucinski; Editing by David Gregorio and Tom Brown)
NASA bids adieu to Opportunity, the Mars rover that kept going and going-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Alex Dobuzinskis-February 17, 2019
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Opportunity, a remarkably durable NASA rover designed to roll along the surface of Mars for three months, has stopped communicating with Earth after 15 years of service, officials said on Wednesday, ending a mission that astounded the U.S. space agency.Engineers lost contact with the solar-powered vehicle on June 10 during a dust storm that encircled Mars. Since then, NASA officials made numerous attempts to reach the six-wheeled rover, which is about the size of a golf cart.Opportunity's equipment may have been compromised by the storm, which struck while the rover was at a site called Perseverance Valley and blotted out sunlight needed by the robot's solar panels, officials said.The vehicle was built to drive six-tenths of a mile (1 km), but ended up covering 28 miles (45 km) and lasting longer on Mars than any other robot sent to the surface of the Red Planet.On Tuesday, engineers sent a transmission in a last attempt to revive the rover, but heard nothing back, said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate."It is, therefore, that I am standing here with a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude that I declare the Opportunity mission as complete," Zurbuchen said during an online video presentation at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.WET AND WARM MARS-As Opportunity explored craters on Mars, it gathered evidence to demonstrate the planet in the ancient past was wet and warm enough to possibly sustain life, NASA said. That included the discovery of white veins of the mineral gypsum, an indication of water moving through underground fractures.Opportunity landed on Mars in January 2004, a few weeks after its rover twin, Spirit.Spirit ended its mission in 2010 after becoming stuck in soft soil.The Opportunity mission cost more than $1 billion, with about 300 JPL staff members dedicated to the project soon after it landed, John Callas, project manager for Mars Exploration Rovers, said by phone.The team had dwindled to 30 by the time Opportunity went silent, he said. Its members are going to other projects.Another NASA rover called Curiosity, which arrived on Mars in 2012, continues its work on the Martian surface, collecting soil samples to analyze them for signs of organic compounds.And NASA's InSight spacecraft, the first robotic lander designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, touched down safely on the surface of Mars in November, with instruments to detect planetary seismic rumblings never measured anywhere but Earth.InSight and the next Mars rover mission, scheduled for 2020, are both seen as precursors for eventual human exploration of Mars, an objective NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine has said might be achieved as early as the mid-2030s.(Reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis; Editing by Will Dunham, Bill Tarrant and Rosalba O'Brien)

Nasrallah: Warsaw meet unmasked Israel-Gulf ties, Arab leaders Israel’s ‘tools’-Referencing dispute over IDF readiness for war, Hezbollah chief says Israelis ‘don’t trust’ army; ‘They know we can enter Galilee, they’re not sure they can enter our land’-By TOI staff-FEB 17,19
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday dismissed last week’s Middle East conference in Warsaw as “weak and stale,” and warned that Arab leaders moving toward normalization with Israel were only “a tool” in Israel’s hands.In a speech marking the terror group’s annual remembrance day for “martyrs,” Nasrallah said the summit in Poland, which focused strongly on Iran’s belligerence in the region, aimed to “rally against Iran and the resistance movements in the region… The enemies are trying to rally the world to conspire against the resistance after their wars failed to eradicate it.”He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “speaking from the heart” when he talked at the conference of seeking “war with Iran,” a statement that has been characterized as a mistranslation of Netanyahu’s original Hebrew comments.But Nasrallah asserted that “today Iran is a strong state and stronger than anyone who targets it with war.”Nasrallah said the Warsaw summit had “brought out into the open Israel’s relations with the Gulf states.“We knew about normalization between Israel and Oman and the United Arab Emirates, but at the summit we also clearly saw normalization with the Saudis,” he said.The Hezbollah chief attacked Yemen’s foreign minister for sitting beside Netanyahu at the summit, saying it “revealed that… the Yemen war is an Israeli-American war carried out by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.”Saudi Arabia has been leading the years-long fight against the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen. Many thousands of civilians are believed to have been killed in the war.“Those who attack the people in Yemen, who control Bahrain that acts against Iran, who sit beside Israel at the Warsaw conference and normalize relations with Israel — they are all tools in the hands of this [Israeli and American] plan,” Nasrallah said.He claimed the summit was also intended to “eliminate the Palestinian cause,” noting it “missed any reference to Palestine, even though Israel is the head of terror” in the region.Nasrallah also referred to recent claims by some Israeli officials that the Israeli Ground Forces are not prepared for war with the terror group in the north, saying Israelis “don’t believe in their army.”The issue of the Israel Defense Forces’ readiness for conflict has made headlines in recent months, particularly in light of the Defense Ministry ombudsman’s ongoing public clash with military leaders over his claims — refuted by both military and Knesset officials — that the army is woefully unprepared for war.“They don’t believe in their army,” the Hezbollah chief said. “They know our fighters can enter the Galilee, but they’re not sure their Ground Forces can enter our land.”Nasrallah recently boasted in another speech of his organization’s plans for invading northern Israel.“Senior officials in the Israeli army say it is not ready, particularly the Ground Forces. The officers don’t believe in it, the soldiers don’t believe in it and neither does the government. These are not my words, but the words of by Israeli army leaders.”He added: “It wasn’t like that in the past. Residents of southern Lebanon are not afraid, but residents of the Galilee are very fearful. That is what deterrence looks like. This is a new state of things.”On Tuesday, a number of signs mocking the IDF were placed on the Lebanese border, apparently by Hezbollah. “If you don’t trust your Ground Forces, who were beaten in Lebanon, you need to send them to your search-and-rescue forces. You’ll need them,” the signs read, in stilted Hebrew. The signs also featured photographs of Israeli soldiers crying and a tank on fire.Netanyahu said last month military forces were ready to deliver a “crushing attack” to the nation’s enemies.Nasrallah also mocked Israeli leaders’ threats against his organization.“Sometimes Israelis say in their speeches, ‘If Nasrallah knew how much we knew about him, he wouldn’t sleep at night.’ If your information is correct and you know everything about us, about all that we have, it only gives us more confidence, because or deterrence will become even stronger.”He claimed that the organization now had 40 “hubs,” each of which had more power than Lebanon’s entire “resistance” had possessed in the year 2000.On Friday the IDF said that over the past week troops conducted a massive drill to train for combat operations in topographical conditions similar to those in Lebanon.The exercise was the largest one carried out by the 401st Brigade of the Armored Corps in recent years, according to Channel 12 news. The soldiers carried out drills in coordination with the Israeli Air Force, as well as the engineering and intelligence corps.The brigade’s commander, Col. Dudu Sonago, said Hezbollah fighters have gained extensive experience and have developed more sophisticated battle techniques after fighting in neighboring Syria’s civil war, at the same time as deepening entrenchment above and below ground in Syria.“They are no longer a guerrilla organization, but a real army,” he said.Nasrallah also denied US assertions that it has cells in Venezuela. The Latin American nation has plunged deeper into political chaos following the US demand that President Nicolas Maduro steps down a month into his second term.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week that “Hezbollah has active cells” in Venezuela and “Iranians are impacting the people of Venezuela and throughout South America.”But Nasrallah said Venezuela “does not need” Hezbollah, though his group was in “solidarity with the political leadership and state of Venezuela against the American aggression.”AP contributed to this report.
