17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

China warns U.S. debt-default idea is playing with fire By Emily Kaiser – JUNE 8,11
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Republican lawmakers are playing with fire by contemplating even a brief debt default as a means to force deeper government spending cuts, an adviser to China's central bank said on Wednesday.The idea of a technical default -- essentially delaying interest payments for a few days -- has gained backing from a growing number of mainstream Republicans who see it as a price worth paying if it forces the White House to slash spending, Reuters reported on Tuesday.But any form of default could destabilize the global economy and sour already tense relations with big U.S. creditors such as China, government officials and investors warn.Li Daokui, an adviser to the People's Bank of China, said a default could undermine the U.S. dollar, and Beijing needed to dissuade Washington from pursuing this course of action.I think there is a risk that the U.S. debt default may happen, Li told reporters on the sidelines of a forum in Beijing.The result will be very serious and I really hope that they would stop playing with fire.China is the largest foreign creditor to the United States, holding more than $1 trillion in Treasury debt as of March, U.S. data shows, so its concerns carry considerable weight in Washington.I really worry about the risks of a U.S. debt default, which I think may lead to a decline in the dollar's value,Li said.Congress has balked at increasing a statutory limit on government spending as lawmakers argue over how to curb a deficit which is projected to reach $1.4 trillion this fiscal year. The U.S. Treasury Department has said it will run out of borrowing room by August 2.If the United States cannot make interest payments on its debt, the Obama administration has warned of catastrophic consequences that could push the still-fragile economy back into recession.It has dire implications for the economy at a time when the macro data is softening,said Ben Westmore, a commodities economist at National Australia Bank.It's just a horrible idea,he said.Financial markets are following the U.S. debate but see little risk of a default.
U.S. Treasury prices were firm in Europe on Wednesday, supported by a flight to their perceived safety on the back of the Greek debt crisis and worries about a slowdown in U.S. economic growth.Marc Ostwald, a strategist with Monument Securities in London, said markets were working on the assumption that the U.S. debt story will go away.But nervousness would grow if a resolution was not reached in the next five to six weeks.
WOULDN'T HAPPEN
The Republicans' theory is that bondholders would accept a brief delay in interest payments if it meant Washington finally addressed its long-term fiscal problems, putting the country in a stronger position to meet its debt obligations later on.
But interviews with government officials and investors show they consider a default such a grim -- and remote -- possibility that it was nearly impossible to imagine.
How can the U.S. be allowed to default? said an official at India's central bank. We don't think this is a possibility because this could then create huge panic globally.
Indian officials say they have little choice but to buy U.S. Treasury debt because it is still among the world's safest and most liquid investments. It held $39.8 billion in U.S. Treasuries as of March, U.S. data shows.The officials declined to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media.Oman is concerned about the impact of a default on the currency reserves of the sultanate and its Gulf neighbors.Our economies are substantially tied up with the U.S. financial developments,said a senior central bank official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.It just wouldn't happen,said Barry Evans, who oversees $83 billion in fixed income assets at Manulife Asset Management.They would pay their Treasury bills first instead of other bills. It's as simple as that.Monument's Ostwald called the default scenario frightening and said bondholders' patience would wear thin if lawmakers persisted in pitching this strategy in the coming weeks.This isn't a debate, this is like a Mexican standoff and that is where the problem lies,he said.
Yuan Gangming, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a government think tank, smelled some political wrangling behind the U.S. debt debate as the 2012 presidential election draws nearer and said Republicans want to make things difficult for Obama.But with time running short before the U.S. Treasury exhausts its borrowing room, Yuan said default was a real risk.The possibility is quite high to see a default of the U.S. debt, which would harm many countries in the world, and China in particular,he said.(Reporting by Kevin Lim and Jong Woo Cheon in Singapore, Suvashree Dey Choudhury in Mumbai, Aileen Wang and Kevin Yao in Beijing, Abhijit Neogy in Delhi, Marius Zaharia in London and Umesh Desai in Hong Kong; Editing by Dean Yates and Neil Fullick)
77% of Jews Oppose Obama Peace Formula
by Gil Ronen JUNE 7,11
Seventy seven percent of the Jews in Israel reject an Israeli retreat to 1949 Armistice lines with small border modifications in a peace deal, a poll sponsored by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has found. The respondents said they would oppose such a retreat even if it was part of a peace deal in which the Arab Countries declared an end to the conflict with Israel.The formula is the one suggested by U.S. President Barack Obama in his last speeches on the subject.The poll was conducted by the Dahaf Institute for the JCPA, which is headed by former Israel United Nations Ambassador Dore Gold, an informal advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.Eighty five percent of Israeli Jews support leaving Jerusalem united under Jewish sovereignty. Seventy five percent oppose handing over the Temple Mount to Palestinian control, even if the Kotel remains in Israeli hands as part of a peace deal.However, 52% favored a deal that would place the Temple Mount under international sovereignty and leave the Kotel in Israeli hands.Sixty-five percent opposed a deal that would also involve giving up control of other holy sites, like Rachel’s Tomb or the Cave of Patriarchs, while leaving Israel with the Kotel.
Regarding the Jordan Valley, 75% said that they do not agree to vacate the Jordan Valley and a similar percentage opposed giving up the Etzion Bloc. Some of these said that they absolutely refuse and others said that they tend to refuse.Obama recently unpleasantly surprised Israeli leader Binyamin Netanyahu with a speech calling for a return to the 1949 Armistice lines. Observers are concerned that Obama will be exceedingly hostile toward Israel in a second term in office, and especially so during the last two years of the term -- should he win reelection in 2012.

OPEC to hike output, Iran proposes compromise
By Ramin Mostafavi and Alex Lawler – JUNE 8,11
VIENNA (Reuters) – OPEC producers on Wednesday hammered out a deal to raise oil supplies for the first time in four years to support the fragile world economy.
Under pressure from consumer countries to contain fuel inflation, Saudi Arabia hopes to convince the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to lift production by as much as 1.5 million barrels a day, Gulf delegates said.They said that one option could be an initial one million bpd increase with a promise of another 500,000 bpd to come in three months time.Iran offered to host an emergency meeting within three months to review policy, an Iranian source told Reuters.Initial opposition to an increase from Iran shifted to a proposal for a modest 700,000-one million bpd increase during a closed session of ministers, the Iranian source said.Iran's acting oil minister Mohammad Aliabadi struck a conciliatory note at the start of the meeting.Iran is a member of OPEC and will go with the decision of the majority, Aliabadi told reporters.As OPEC's biggest producer and the only one with any significant spare capacity, Saudi usually gets its way.But long-time price hawks Iran and Venezuela plus Ecuador, Iraq and Angola all want to keep oil prices above $100 a barrel. Brent crude traded near $116 a barrel.
BASELINE?
Also at issue is the baseline for any increase.As the meeting started it was not clear whether an increase would come on top of current output or from OPEC's out-of-date production target, which is much lower.Delegates said Saudi would prefer to use April OPEC output of 26.33 million bpd as the baseline rather than the old official target of 24.84 million set in December 2008.If Riyadh gets its way, OPEC would be committing to a real increase rather than a cosmetic deal that leaves Saudi to pump more unilaterally outside the official agreement.An increment of, say, 1 million bpd on top of April output would lift OPEC's official target for 11 members by 2.51 million bpd to 27.35 million. Iraq, not bound by a quota, is pumping an additional 2.7 million.Venezuela is holding to a tough line.We do not agree with production being increased now, we must continue to consolidate balance in the market and we have to defend fair prices,Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday in Ecuador.Apparently backing Gulf Arab producers are Nigeria and Algeria who sit on a committee that on Tuesday recommended a one-million-bpd increment.
SAUDI PUMPING MORE REGARDLESS
Regardless of the policy decision, Riyadh will pump more.A Gulf official said Saudi was already raising output by at least 500,000 bpd in June to 9.5-9.7 million bpd.
Saudi output was last as high in the middle of 2008 after oil prices set a record $147 a barrel, shortly before recession sent prices crashing.Forecasts suggest more oil is required to stop oil prices rising again.OPEC's Vienna secretariat sees demand in the second half of the year 1.7 million bpd higher than current cartel output.
Germany fears full-blown bankruptcy in eurozone
ANDREW WILLIS Today JUNE 8,11 @ 10:37 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble believes Greek bankruptcy is imminent, according to a leaked letter, and argues that restructuring of the country's debt is necessary.We are standing before the real risk of the first full-blown bankruptcy inside the eurozone,Schaeuble said in a letter addressed to European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet and leaked to the German press.
In the starkest language yet by a European official, the German minister called for additional aid to be made available to Greece, adding that private banks should participate in the cost of the Greek rescue.EU officials and member states are understood to be currently working on a second bail-out agreement for Greece, in addition to the €110 billion pledged last year, with estimates suggesting the new aid package could total €60 billion.Finance ministers are expected to reach an agreement on 20 June, just three days before a summit of European leaders, with Schaeuble suggesting that private creditors should be made to wait an extra seven years before repayment of their existing Greek loans.Any agreement on 20 June has to include a clear mandate - given to Greece possibly together with the IMF - to initiate the process of involving holders of Greek bonds. This process has to lead to a quantified and substantial contribution of bondholders to the support effort, beyond a pure Vienna initiative approach,reads the letter.Such a result can best be reached through a bond swap leading to a prolongation of the outstanding Greek sovereign bonds by seven years, at the same time giving Greece the necessary time to fully implement the necessary reforms and regain market confidence.
The ECB is strongly opposed to a restructuring of Greek debt however, partially because the bank has bought large quantities of Greek bonds over the past year in order to stabilise markets.ECB executive board member Lorenzo Bini Smaghi on Monday said Greece had marketable assets worth €300 billion, roughly equal to the country's debts, and was therefore not bankrupt.Greece should be considered solvent and should be asked to service its debts,he told journalists.Restructuring should only be the last resort ... when it is clear that the debtor country cannot repay its debts.The battle between Germany and the ECB is likely to play out in the coming days, with the current leadership uncertainty at the IMF also a complicating factor however.In his letter, Schaeuble called on the international lender to maintain its support for Greece.At the same time, unease is growing within Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union over further aid to Greece.The German Chancellor is on Wednesday set to defend her plans in front of increasingly mutinous MPs, who feel they are being bounced into backing a further Greek bail-out.The confrontation comes a day after Merkel met US president Barack Obama in the White House, with the American leader warning that the European debt crisis cannot be allowed to threaten the global economy.
EU countries push for UN resolution on Syria
ANDREW RETTMAN Today JUNE 8,11 @ 09:29 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The UK and France have put forward a draft UN Security Council resolution urging Syria to stop killing protesters, but China and Russia are wary of the move.British foreign minister William Hague told national MPs on Tuesday (7 June) that the text does not call for sanctions or authorise military intervention, as in Libya: Britain has circulated a draft ... calling for the Syrian government to meet their people's legitimate demands, release all prisoners of conscience, lift restrictions on the media and internet and co-operate with the UN high commissioner for human rights.He noted:The house will appreciate that a resolution is not in our gift, and needs the support of nine UN Security Council members and no vetoes.He also said:We are exploring with our European partners the potential for further sanctions if the violence continues.Speaking at a UN event on Aids in New York the same day, French foreign minister Alain Juppe said:It is inconceivable that the UN remain silent on such a matter ... I think it is a question of days, maybe hours [until the vote].
French diplomats have noted that the build-up to military action in Libya began with resolution 1970 in February imposing sanctions on Gaddafi before resolution 1973 in March mandated air strikes.Russia's ambassador to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov, told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday that Moscow is against any 1973-type move on Syria.
He said: The prospect of a UN Security Council resolution along the same lines as 1973 on Libya will not be supported by my country.He added:We believe all these situations require political solutions. I am not sure that sanctions are an effective tool in this situation, and, of course, as Libya has shown, the use of force does not provide answers.China's UN ambassador, Li Baodong, told press at the Aids meeting in New York: We do not think the involvement of the Security Council will help the situation there.President Bashar al-Assad's forces have killed more than 1,100 people since unrest began two months ago, according to Syrian human rights organisation Sawasiah. Human Rights Watch in a study on 1 June entitled We've never seen such horror said systematic killings and torture ... [may] qualify as crimes against humanity.The internal conflict is threatening to spill over into neighbouring countries.People are fleeing the northern town of Jisr al-Shughur for Turkey as government troops prepare for a large-scale assault. And Beirut-based journalist Robert Fisk says the Turkish army has drawn up plans to send several battalions into northern Syria to create a safe zone designed to stop ethnic Kurds from going to Turkey.Israel has complained to the UN that Syria is inciting Palestinian refugees to cause trouble on the contested Israel-Syria border in order to divert attention. Several Palestinians were killed in a border incident on 5 June. Syrian state-run newspaper, Tishrin, says up to 600,000 Palestinians could try to cross the border in future.Meanwhile, neighbouring Iran has warned Western powers to stay out.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday:I condemn the meddling of the US and its allies in Syrian affairs.The UK's Hague the same day told MPs that Iran is ... [giving] equipment and technical advice to help the Syrian regime crush protests in Syria.
A short guide to the Polish presidency
HONOR MAHONY 07.06.2011 @ 11:15 CET
With Poland taking over the presidency of the European Union on 1 July, EUobserver presents a short non-exhaustive guide:Calendar restraints - Being a second-half-of-the-year presidency, Warsaw will fall afoul of the EU's famously extended holiday period. Most of the Brussels EU elite starts disappearing in July. The EU capital re-emerges as a complete political city only around the beginning of September. The same Brussels evacuation starts to take place around the middle of December, too. So, the period for getting things done is short.Polling day - And while the effective calendar months are short, so may the attention span of Polish politicians be. National elections will be held in October. Polish officials promise otherwise, but the call of the local constituency will likely prove more alluring than that of Brussels. Meanwhile, a win for the opposition Jaroslaw Kaczynski will see politicians, in handover mode, distracted for the remainder of the six-month stint too. And, in that case, everyone else will be wondering whether it means a return to the abrasive politics of previous administrations.Defence - It might seem an inauspicious time to want to start talking about EU defence, what with the EU's less-than-exemplary display of unity over Libya, but Poland is going to persevere anyway. If we had civilian and military planning capacity we would have been much effective at the outset of the crisis in Libya, says Europe minister Mikolaj Dowgielewicz.
Warsaw is neither naive about EU defence of afraid to start a conversation about it. (The 'it' includes battlegroups and a permanent military headquarters). And to be fair, no one else is rushing to talk about defence at the moment. It falls to EU top diplomat Catherine Ashton. But she is too busy trying to do several other jobs at once. And Poland has a point when it says is the only country with any military credibility to hold the presidency since France and the only one for quite some time into the future. This is not a debate Denmark and Cyprus can kick off.Eastern Partnership - This is where Poland has a chance to shine. The recognised lead member state when it comes to countries on the EU's eastern borders, it wants to see real progress - on association agreements - with Ukraine and Moldova. An Eastern Partnership Summit in September in Warsaw is meant to give the policy – which has fallen down the political agenda - a boost. Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt recently said the initiative is as significant as the Lisbon Treaty. The problem is getting other bigger member states - read France and Germany - to think like that. More cash would be good too. See below.EU budget talks - The European Commission will this summer publish its first proposals for the EU's 2014-2020 budget, a moment that marks the traditional beginning of table-thumping disagreement until the thing is signed and sealed, usually at the last possible minute about two years later. Poland - very keen on seeing the EU's cohesion funds maintained - is shackled to a neutral position because it is the presidency country. But it hopes to project its budgetary views well beyond its presidency by producing a serious paper for discussion in 2012. It plans 12 technical meetings and two ministerial meetings on the budget.
Energy security - This is a biggie for the Poles. The want the EU to be energy-independent of Russia. And they particularly want Poland to be energy-independent of Russia. This has resulted in some near-evangelical talk about Shale - the unconventional gas apparently in great quantities in Poland and which Warsaw has indicated it would like to exploit. If commercial exploitation is possible - and it remains a big if - the gas would both eventually end the country's heavy reliance on the dirtier coal and on Russia. Environmentalists are sceptical. But expect more talk anyway.The economy - Poland is outside the eurozone - though looking to come in - and so lacks clout here. It is not automatically privy to discussions on economic governance or competitiveness, something brought home in March.However it has an ace up its sleeve: its economy is doing relatively well and the only country in the EU at no point to have tipped into recession during the recent economic crisis. So even if it is not inside the room, it can feel somewhat superior outside it. And its finance minister will chair ecofin - the full complement of EU finance ministers - meetings. Warsaw's main focus will be on implementing the new Single Market Act. It also wants to try and achieve something more ephemeral - economic optimism. According to Dowgielewicz, Point two on our to-do list as a presidency is to try to create a better narrative about the European economy.Arguably a task that alone would be tricky enough for any single presidency.One to watch - On the high-flying foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, opinions are divided. Some say that he has no interest in Poland's EU presidency and so will not help more committed members of the administration to make it a success. Others point to the fact that he has been quick to carve out a role for himself alongside Cathy Ashton. Sikorski is keen to take the lead on eastern neighbourhood issues. But Poland also sees its approach to its eastern neighbourhood as a model for the EU to take towards countries in its southern neighbourhood. This gave Sikorski the perfect excuse to pay a highly publicised visit to Libya in May - the first Western foreign minister to go the country since the uprising began. Sikoroski points out that the trip was agreed with Ashton beforehand. Nevertheless, his interactions with Ashton - weakened by internal criticism - throughout the presidency will be something to keep an eye on.
Stress test - Poland will take over the presidency with the EU creaking at the seams. Centre-right MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski puts it thus: All other presidencies have had difficult challenges but none of them have had such a culmination of difficulties. The Union is undergoing a stress test in terms of the euro, in terms of schengen, in terms of ESDP and in terms of [its] neighbourhood. All that put together makes this presidency extremely challenging. More and more, Poland sees that new member states will have take upon their shoulders the defence of the acquis of the old [member states].Logo - There is a long and proud tradition of EU presidency logos. It is not really clear why they are needed (especially in these post-Lisbon mini-presidency times) but they are always unveiled with a something of a flourish. They also usually attract more interest than the presidency programmes themselves. Past star logos include Belgium's 2001 showing with Magritte's hat, while Italy's 2003 effort was something of a flop, where it remained something of a small mystery as to why the E of EU was backwards. Poland's logo meanwhile is inspired by the by the iconic flag of Solidarnosc and was designed by the very artist who designed that movement's symbol so many years ago.The last word - And according to the somewhat ominous words of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, presidency countries can never be too prepared.My message to the Polish presidency is: Be prepared, because something may happen.Famous events of past presidencies include the Russia-Georgia war under France's watch and the teetering and then utter collapse of the Czech government in the middle of its presidency.

Iran Says Its Submarines are in the Red Sea
by Gil Ronen JUNE 7,11
Iran has sent military submarines to the Red Sea, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.Iranian military submarines entered the Red Sea waters with the goal of collecting information and identifying other countries' combat vessels, Fars said in a Tuesday report, citing an unidentified source.It did not say how many submarines were involved or what type they were but noted they had sailed alongside warships from the Iranian Navy's 14th fleet.State-run Press TV said in a report earlier in May that the 14th fleet – which is comprised of two vessels, the warship Bandar Abbas and the destroyer Shahid Naqdi – had been sent to fight piracy.The fleet entered the Gulf of Aden region in May and has now entered the Red Sea in the continuation of its mission,Fars said.Two Iranian warships passed through the Suez Canal en route to Syria in February, for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Israel called that move a serious provocation.According to Reuters, Iran announced last August it had expanded its fleet of domestically built 120-ton Ghadir-class submarines to 11. These, it said, would be used to patrol the Gulf and the Sea of Oman.Israel reportedly stationed submarines near Iran last year.(Israel NationalNews.com)
Operation Opera Took Out Saddam's Reactor: 30 Year Anniversary by INN Staff JUNE 7,11
Thirty years ago Tuesday, on Sunday, June 7, 1981, eight IAF F-16s and and six F-15s took off from the IAF's Etzion Base in northern Sinai. Their destination was the Iraqi nuclear plant at Al-Tuweitha, near Baghdad.The youngest F-16 pilot was Captain Ilan Ramon, 25. He volunteered to fly last in the attack formation -- the most dangerous position -- because he had no wife or children.The strike made history and denied Iraq's Saddam Hussein his dream of nuclear weapons. He was eventually toppled and executed after the US led a coalition force into Iraq.An animation created in 2003, in the months leading up to the coalition's invasion, tells the story of that strike. By a stroke of chance, it was put online just days after the tragic death of Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut, on board the space shuttle Columbia.The animation by Gil Ronen was viewed at the time by over 250,000 people, including numerous people within the US political leadership and defense establishment -- the same ones who decided to finish the job Israel had started 22 years earlier and rid the world of the danger that Saddam Hussein would ever use weapons of mass destruction against other countries. Israel bombed a site it claimed was a fledgling nuclear reactor in Syria several years ago. The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, recently corroborated Israel's claim, but condemned Israel for destroying the site instead of filing a complaint.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

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.

1st tropical storm of season ramps up in Pacific
– Wed Jun 8, 5:01 am ET
MIAMI – Forecasters say the first tropical storm of the 2011 hurricane season is gaining strength out in the Eastern Pacific.Tropical Storm Adrian's maximum sustained winds increased to about 60 mph early Wednesday, hours after it formed. It's expected to get stronger, but forecasts show it moving away from land in the next few days. No coastal watches or warnings have been issued.The center of the storm is about 345 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico. It is moving slowly in a west-northwest direction. That is expected to continue for the next couple of days.
China floods kill 24, force 100,000 to evacuate
– Wed Jun 8, 2:45 am ET
BEIJING (Reuters) – Heavy rain drenched a swathe of what had been drought-gripped southern and eastern China, killing 24 people and forcing more than 100,000 to evacuate, state media reported on Wednesday.The deaths have been concentrated in the poor southern province of Guizhou, where 21 people have died so far, and 100,000 people have left their homes to escape the rising waters over the past few days, the official Xinhua news agency said.Another 30 people were missing in Guizhou, the report added, suggesting the death toll could rise.The other deaths have been reported in the eastern seaboard province of Jiangsu, Xinhua added, though other parts of that province remain parched.Guizhou will be hit by more rain over the coming few days, and the government has already sent a relief team to the hardest hit areas, it said.The drought has damaged crops and exacerbated a power shortage by cutting power generation from dams, adding a slight bump to near three-year high consumer inflation.The rains will add to farmers' hopes that they will be able to plant mid-year rice crops after early-season plantings suffered during the drought.
The drought has affected millions of hectares of farmland, mainly in the five provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze.Rice acreage in these five provinces accounts for nearly half of China's total rice area, official data show. But early-season rice accounted for only 16 percent of China's total rice output of 196 million tonnes last year.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Ken Wills and Alex Richardson)
23 killed, 6 missing in floods, mudslides in Haiti
By TRENTON DANIEL, Associated Press – Tue Jun 7, 8:46 pm ET
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Heavy rain hammered southern Haiti for a seventh straight day Tuesday, triggering floods and mudslides and causing houses and shanties in the capital to collapse. The official death toll was 23 but could rise as remnants of the storm lingered.Haitian authorities listed six people as missing.Runoff from the rain sent rivers surging and flooded many homes as people scrambled to their rooftops. The slow-moving storm system also toppled trees and debris blocked streets throughout the capital.At least 23 people were killed and more than a dozen injured, said Edgar Joseph, a spokesman for Haiti's Civil Protection Department. Most of the deaths were in Port-au-Prince and they included two who died over the weekend, he said.Thirteen people died in Petionville, a hillside city southeast of downtown Port-au-Prince, Joseph said. In one incident, a concrete house slid down a ravine and crashed into several smaller homes.A 53-year-old man, Jean Wildor Charutis, said his older sister and a niece died in the large house that crashed down the ravine. There was so much rain it shook the house, he said as he and government rescue workers searched for survivors.
The storm system has saturated much of the Caribbean in recent days, with flooding reported in the neighboring Dominican Republic as well as in Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Authorities reported two deaths in the Dominican Republic and one in Jamaica to the weather.Civil defense authorities in the Dominican Republic said 25 homes were destroyed and more than 8,400 people were evacuated. The dead included a 13-year-old boy who was swept away and drowned while watching a river swell near Santo Domingo.In Haiti, the week of pounding rain has deepened the misery for tens of thousands of people living in the tent-and-tarp settlements that sprung up after the January 2010 earthquake. Aid groups have warned that the wet weather could worsen a cholera outbreak that has killed more than 5,300 people since October.Michel Davison, a coordinator for the International Desk of the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, said satellite data indicate that rain drenched Haiti along the border with the Dominican Republic for at least six hours Monday night, dumping between four to six inches.That's a fairly intense rainfall amount, Davison said in a phone interview.That's been happening now for five, seven days. The ground is so saturated at this point that it doesn't take much to produce floods.Davison said Haiti will see more rain Wednesday, but should get a much-needed reprieve later the week.Two children died and three others were injured in the Nazon neighborhood in Port-au-Prince after the wall of a home fell on them, according to the Civil Protection Department.Meanwhile, hospitals saw an influx of patients.
Doctors at a hospital run by the Miami aid group Project Medishare treated at least 10 people for injuries, including a puncture wound, said Gabriele Denis, a hospital administrator. Aid group Doctors Without Borders treated at least 10 people, many of them injured when walls fell on them, said Sylvain Groulx, chief of mission for Doctors Without Borders.Haiti's newly elected President Michel Martelly took to national television just before midnight to calm the nation as the storm was still passing over the city. This message is to tell the population that I'm with you, the president said.Martelly ordered government construction workers to show up to work early Tuesday to help remove debris.Rains earlier this week prompted the government and international aid groups to evacuate dozens of families who live around the overflowing Lake Azuei.Associated Press writers Pierre-Richard Luxama in Port-au-Prince, Howard Campbell in Jamaica and Ezequiel Lopez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, contributed to this report.
Rains send rivers dangerously higher in Caribbean
– Mon Jun 6, 8:25 pm ET
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – Several days of heavy rain sent rivers higher Monday across much of the Caribbean, destroying houses, setting off landslides and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. The storm has been blamed for four deaths in the region, officials said Monday.There were reports of severe flooding in the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica from a low pressure system that lingered south of Jamaica for five days before moving west.In provinces north of the Dominican capital, authorities evacuated more than 4,000 people, and at least a dozen homes were destroyed by floodwaters from the Licey River, said Francisco Arias, a regional civil defense official.In neighboring Haiti, more than 200 people sought shelter after a lake on the country's border with the Dominican Republic burst its banks over the weekend, said Lesly Dorce, an official with Haiti's Civil Protection Department.The water seeped into my home and I was worried about my daughter,said Mecha Calixte, a 32-year-old merchant who walked to the shelter in the town of Thomazeau, where relief groups gave out bags of rice, beans and bottles of cooking oil.There were also reports of extensive flooding in downtown Les Cayes, a city along Haiti's southwestern coast.
Emergency teams in southeastern and eastern Jamaica were trying to rescue at least 50 people trapped by rising floodwaters, and roads were blocked by high waters in at least four parishes elsewhere in the country, said Ronald Jackson, director general at the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management.Floods and mudslides were blamed for one death in the Dominican Republic and two in Haiti in recent days.
Jamaican police said Sunday that a fisherman drowned and another was rescued in rough water off Bob Marley Beach in St. Andrew parish.

Hot weather causes heat warnings, buckled roads
By Mary Wisniewski – Tue Jun 7, 3:50 pm ET
CHICAGO (Reuters) – In Minnesota, a state legendary for its cold winters, the heat and humidity is so high this week that highway pavement was buckling in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.Temperatures in the mid- to upper-90s across the country's mid-section Tuesday caused cities like St. Louis and Detroit to open cooling centers for overheated residents. Cincinnati's fire department sent out extra personnel on calls, so commanders could rotate out exhausted teams.And in Chicago, some public school students struggled to concentrate on finals in un-air-conditioned classrooms as the outside temperature approached a record 97 degrees.It's perspiratory and sweltering, said AccuWeather.com meteorologist Elliot Abrams.You take a shower and step outside and the sweat beads form almost immediately.Abrams warned that people who work outside have to watch out for possible over-exertion and heat stroke.The high temperatures in the Midwest started Monday and are expected to last through Wednesday, spreading to the east on Thursday, according to Jim Allsopp, meteorologist for the National Weather Service. He said temperatures in Illinois are running well above normal, by about 15 degrees.In the Midwest, it's pretty early to be getting this hot,Allsopp said. He said very warm air is coming into the area from the southwest.In the Minneapolis-St. Paul area Monday, 28 pavement failures caused by the heat and humidity popped up on state and U.S. highways in mid-afternoon, causing traffic snarls, said T. K. Kramascz, spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
I don't remember having seen as many as this in one afternoon,Kramascz said. He expects the area could get more of the same Tuesday.Chicago school principals have been told to keep students hydrated and move classes if necessary from rooms exposed to sunlight, according to guidelines distributed to schools. Principals may relax dress codes and allow students to wear shorts, the guidelines said.Relief is coming, according to Allsopp, who said the weather should start cooling off Thursday and Friday in the Midwest, though the south will stay hot.(Writing by Mary Wisniewski; Additional reporting by James B.

Solar flare erupts, creating spectacular images
– JUNE 8,11
GREENBELT, Md. – A medium-sized solar flare has erupted from the sun in an impressive display captured by NASA cameras. Scientists say that the event won't have a significant impact on Earth.NASA says the flare peaked Tuesday and created a large cloud that appeared to cover almost half the surface of the sun. Images were recorded by the orbiting satellite called the Solar Dynamics Observatory.A news release says solar energy released by the event should deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on Wednesday or Thursday.But it's not expected to cause a major impact here. The National Weather Service is predicting minor effects on satellites and weak impacts on some power grids.

Germany expecting more E.coli deaths
By Brian Rohan – JUNE 8,11
HAMBURG (Reuters) – Germany expects the death toll from the E.coli outbreak to rise although the number of new infections from the virulent strain of bacteria that has killed 24 people is likely to drop, the government said on Wednesday.There will be new cases and unfortunately we have to expect more deaths, but the number of new infections are dropping significantly,Health Minister Daniel Bahr told German TV .I can't sound the all-clear, but after analyzing the latest data we have reasonable cause for hope,he said.The German government has been criticized at home and around Europe for its failure to pin down the cause of the outbreak that has stricken over 2,400 people in 12 countries. All cases have been traced back to near Hamburg in northern Germany.The European Union's health chief John Dalli, attending a crisis meeting with officials in Berlin, urged Germany to seek the help of international experts in dealing with what may be the deadliest outbreak of E.coli so far.About one third of E.coli patients in the latest outbreak have developed a severe complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) affecting the blood, kidneys and nervous system.Analysis of samples from restaurants, canteens and kitchens which prepared food where patients ate has failed to yield conclusive evidence for the theory that organic sprouts from a farm in the state of Lower Saxony are to blame.
EPIDEMIC POLICE?
With the critical spotlight on the German federal system which divides responsibility for crisis response between state and central authorities, Bahr rejected calls for a national epidemic police. He said it was typically German to call for a new authority every time there is a fresh crisis.The EU faces compensation costs of more than 150 million euros ($220 million) for farmers hit by plummeting sales of raw vegetables, after Germany first blamed cucumbers from Spain and other salad vegetables, and then German bean sprouts.We must draw on the experience in all of Europe and even beyond, Dalli told Die Welt newspaper.I emphasize strongly how important it is to cooperate closely and share specialist knowledge to bring the E.coli outbreak to an end quickly.Dalli's visit comes as German authorities struggle to pin down the source of the month-old outbreak of a rare strain of E.coli. He advised Berlin to use the experience of countries which have dealt with E.coli outbreaks.The United States and Japan have had similar deadly outbreaks linked to sprouts while it was a Chinese laboratory that used DNA sequencing technology to identify this E.coli outbreak as a new and highly infectious and toxic strain.(Additional reporting by Christiaan Hetzner in Berlin; writing by Eric Kelsey; editing by Myra MacDonald)

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

Iran to triple nuke output, use better centrifuges
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press – JUNE 8,11
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran will soon install more advanced centrifuges at its new uranium enrichment site, the country's nuclear chief said Wednesday, underscoring Tehran's continued defiance in the face of international sanctions imposed over its controversial nuclear program.Vice President Fereidoun Abbasi also announced that Iran plans to triple its output of the higher enriched uranium in 2011 and move the entire program to the new, secretly-built facility.The uranium enrichment lies at the heart of Iran's dispute with the West, which is concerned that the activity masks efforts to make nuclear weapons — a charge Tehran denies, insisting the work is peaceful and only meant to generate electricity.Abbasi, who also heads Iran's nuclear agency, said that Tehran would set up the more efficient centrifuges, suitable for higher-grade uranium enrichment, at the Fordo site near the holy city of Qom in central Iran.Built next to a military complex to protect it in case of an attack, Fordo was long kept secret and was only acknowledged by Iran after it was identified by Western intelligence agencies in September 2009.At the time, the labs were still under construction inside former ammunition depots carved into a mountainside. The area is heavily protected by the powerful Revolutionary Guard.
Despite four rounds of U.N. sanctions over its refusal to halt the enrichment, Iran has threatened to expand the program tenfold and produce new centrifuges capable of enriching uranium faster than the old ones.This has added to the international concerns because these centrifuges would allow Tehran to accelerate the pace of its program and potentially enable Iran to amass more nuclear material in a shorter time that could be turned into the fissile core of missiles, should it choose to do so.
Centrifuges are machines that are used to enrich uranium. Low-enriched uranium — at around 3.5 percent — can be used to fuel a reactor to generate electricity, which Iran says is the intention of its program. But if uranium is further enriched to around 90 percent purity, it can be used to develop a nuclear warhead.Iran has been producing uranium enriched up to 5 percent for years and began the higher enrichment — up to near 20 percent, considered a threshold between low and high enriched uranium — in February 2010, claiming it needs the higher enriched uranium to produce fuel for a Tehran reactor that makes medical radioisotopes needed for cancer patients.
According to Abbasi, the nuclear chief, the new centrifuges at Fordo would be more advanced than the decades old P-1 type once acquired on the black market and in use at Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz.Soon, we will install 164-machine centrifuge cascades of the new generation (at Fordo),Abbasi was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying after a Cabinet meeting.He also added that Iran would triple the output of its higher enrichment program this year and would move the entire program to Fordo from Natanz. The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, would monitor the transfer, he said.Last month, the IAEA said in a report that Iran estimates it has produced a total of about 125 pounds, or 56.7 kilograms, of uranium enriched to 20 percent by May 21st.When Iran first announced it activated the 164-machine centrifuge cascades for higher enrichment last year, IAEA said the move was contrary to U.N. resolutions demanding Iran suspend all enrichment.Abbasi's announcement came a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticized the IAEA chief Yukiya Amano, claiming the director has discredited the world body by alleging that Iran may be working on a nuclear weapons program.Ahmadinejad was reacting to Amano's earlier comments alleging that some aspects of Iran's nuclear activities could be linked to a weapons program, according to latest information obtained by the U.N. watchdog.
US, allies try to report Syria to UN on nuke issue
By MELISSA EDDY, Associated Press – JUNE 8,11
VIENNA – The United States and its allies pushed ahead Wednesday with efforts to bring Syria before the U.N. Security Council for failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, despite opposition from China and Russia.A draft of a resolution obtained by The Associated Press finds Syria in non-compliance with its obligations with IAEA requirements to allow inspectors access to all nuclear facilities to ensure they are not being used for military purposes.The draft criticizes Syria's lack of cooperation with repeated requests for access by the U.N. nuclear agency to information about a facility at Dair Alzour that appears to have been a nuclear reactor capable of producing plutonium, which is used to arm nuclear weapons. The site was destroyed in 2007.The draft was circulated Wednesday to the 35 ministers who serve on the IAEA's board of governors to be discussed and put to vote. It needs majority approval from the board before it can be sent to the Security Council.The effort comes at the same time that Britain and France are already bringing to a vote a resolution that condemns the crackdown in Syria that has killed hundreds.The IAEA has tried in vain since 2008 to follow up on strong evidence that the Dair Alzour site, bombed in 2007 by Israeli warplanes, was a nearly finished reactor built with North Korea's help.
Drawing on a May 24 report by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano, the resolution expresses serious concern over what it calls Syria's lack of cooperation with the IAEA Director General's repeated requests for access to additional information and locations as well as Syria's refusal to engage substantively with the Agency on the nature of the Dair Alzour site.Some nations have expressed doubt about bringing Syria before the Security Council over an unresolved nuclear issue while there is a nationwide crackdown on a revolt against President Bashar Assad, but diplomats have indicated that a majority should be possible.But without China and Russia the question remains whether that is enough, given the power of those nations to veto any measures that come before the Security Council.Associated Press writer George Jahn contributed to this report.
UK PM says UN resolution will condemn Syria
By DANICA KIRKA, Associated Press – JUNE 8,11
LONDON – Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain and France will propose a U.N. resolution on Wednesday that condemns a crackdown in Syria that has killed hundreds.
Cameron told the House of Commons that the two nations wish to object to the actions of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and would be offering a resolution at the Security Council condemning the repression and demanding accountability and humanitarian action.If anyone votes against that resolution or tries to veto it, that should be on their conscience, he said.The resolution is separate from another measure being directed at Syria's nuclear program. The United States and its allies are pushing ahead with efforts to bring Syria before the U.N. Security Council for failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, despite opposition from China and Russia.In an online briefing Wednesday, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said France decided it was time to act over the crackdown.
The moment has come for the international community to assume its responsibilities considering the Syrian regime's decision to continue and heighten its use of violence and repression,Valero said.The statements came as troops and tanks made their way to the restive northern area where soldiers reportedly joined an anti-government uprising, according to a Syrian human rights worker Mustafa Osso. That raised the prospect of another bout of bloodshed in Syria's nationwide crackdown on the revolt against Assad.Activists say the crackdown has killed more than 1,300 Syrians.The sponsors put the draft U.N. resolution before the 15-member Security Council in its final form and there is then a 24-hour period before the measure is put to a vote.Associated Press writers Jenny Barchfield and Edie Lederer contributed to this story.

China warns U.S. debt-default idea is playing with fire By Emily Kaiser – JUNE 8,11
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Republican lawmakers are playing with fire by contemplating even a brief debt default as a means to force deeper government spending cuts, an adviser to China's central bank said on Wednesday.The idea of a technical default -- essentially delaying interest payments for a few days -- has gained backing from a growing number of mainstream Republicans who see it as a price worth paying if it forces the White House to slash spending, Reuters reported on Tuesday.But any form of default could destabilize the global economy and sour already tense relations with big U.S. creditors such as China, government officials and investors warn.Li Daokui, an adviser to the People's Bank of China, said a default could undermine the U.S. dollar, and Beijing needed to dissuade Washington from pursuing this course of action.I think there is a risk that the U.S. debt default may happen, Li told reporters on the sidelines of a forum in Beijing.The result will be very serious and I really hope that they would stop playing with fire.China is the largest foreign creditor to the United States, holding more than $1 trillion in Treasury debt as of March, U.S. data shows, so its concerns carry considerable weight in Washington.I really worry about the risks of a U.S. debt default, which I think may lead to a decline in the dollar's value,Li said.Congress has balked at increasing a statutory limit on government spending as lawmakers argue over how to curb a deficit which is projected to reach $1.4 trillion this fiscal year. The U.S. Treasury Department has said it will run out of borrowing room by August 2.If the United States cannot make interest payments on its debt, the Obama administration has warned of catastrophic consequences that could push the still-fragile economy back into recession.It has dire implications for the economy at a time when the macro data is softening,said Ben Westmore, a commodities economist at National Australia Bank.It's just a horrible idea,he said.Financial markets are following the U.S. debate but see little risk of a default.
U.S. Treasury prices were firm in Europe on Wednesday, supported by a flight to their perceived safety on the back of the Greek debt crisis and worries about a slowdown in U.S. economic growth.Marc Ostwald, a strategist with Monument Securities in London, said markets were working on the assumption that the U.S. debt story will go away.But nervousness would grow if a resolution was not reached in the next five to six weeks.
WOULDN'T HAPPEN
The Republicans' theory is that bondholders would accept a brief delay in interest payments if it meant Washington finally addressed its long-term fiscal problems, putting the country in a stronger position to meet its debt obligations later on.
But interviews with government officials and investors show they consider a default such a grim -- and remote -- possibility that it was nearly impossible to imagine.
How can the U.S. be allowed to default? said an official at India's central bank. We don't think this is a possibility because this could then create huge panic globally.
Indian officials say they have little choice but to buy U.S. Treasury debt because it is still among the world's safest and most liquid investments. It held $39.8 billion in U.S. Treasuries as of March, U.S. data shows.The officials declined to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media.Oman is concerned about the impact of a default on the currency reserves of the sultanate and its Gulf neighbors.Our economies are substantially tied up with the U.S. financial developments,said a senior central bank official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.It just wouldn't happen,said Barry Evans, who oversees $83 billion in fixed income assets at Manulife Asset Management.They would pay their Treasury bills first instead of other bills. It's as simple as that.Monument's Ostwald called the default scenario frightening and said bondholders' patience would wear thin if lawmakers persisted in pitching this strategy in the coming weeks.This isn't a debate, this is like a Mexican standoff and that is where the problem lies,he said.
Yuan Gangming, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a government think tank, smelled some political wrangling behind the U.S. debt debate as the 2012 presidential election draws nearer and said Republicans want to make things difficult for Obama.But with time running short before the U.S. Treasury exhausts its borrowing room, Yuan said default was a real risk.The possibility is quite high to see a default of the U.S. debt, which would harm many countries in the world, and China in particular,he said.(Reporting by Kevin Lim and Jong Woo Cheon in Singapore, Suvashree Dey Choudhury in Mumbai, Aileen Wang and Kevin Yao in Beijing, Abhijit Neogy in Delhi, Marius Zaharia in London and Umesh Desai in Hong Kong; Editing by Dean Yates and Neil Fullick)
77% of Jews Oppose Obama Peace Formula
by Gil Ronen JUNE 7,11
Seventy seven percent of the Jews in Israel reject an Israeli retreat to 1949 Armistice lines with small border modifications in a peace deal, a poll sponsored by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has found. The respondents said they would oppose such a retreat even if it was part of a peace deal in which the Arab Countries declared an end to the conflict with Israel.The formula is the one suggested by U.S. President Barack Obama in his last speeches on the subject.The poll was conducted by the Dahaf Institute for the JCPA, which is headed by former Israel United Nations Ambassador Dore Gold, an informal advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.Eighty five percent of Israeli Jews support leaving Jerusalem united under Jewish sovereignty. Seventy five percent oppose handing over the Temple Mount to Palestinian control, even if the Kotel remains in Israeli hands as part of a peace deal.However, 52% favored a deal that would place the Temple Mount under international sovereignty and leave the Kotel in Israeli hands.Sixty-five percent opposed a deal that would also involve giving up control of other holy sites, like Rachel’s Tomb or the Cave of Patriarchs, while leaving Israel with the Kotel.
Regarding the Jordan Valley, 75% said that they do not agree to vacate the Jordan Valley and a similar percentage opposed giving up the Etzion Bloc. Some of these said that they absolutely refuse and others said that they tend to refuse.Obama recently unpleasantly surprised Israeli leader Binyamin Netanyahu with a speech calling for a return to the 1949 Armistice lines. Observers are concerned that Obama will be exceedingly hostile toward Israel in a second term in office, and especially so during the last two years of the term -- should he win reelection in 2012.

OPEC to hike output, Iran proposes compromise
By Ramin Mostafavi and Alex Lawler – JUNE 8,11
VIENNA (Reuters) – OPEC producers on Wednesday hammered out a deal to raise oil supplies for the first time in four years to support the fragile world economy.
Under pressure from consumer countries to contain fuel inflation, Saudi Arabia hopes to convince the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to lift production by as much as 1.5 million barrels a day, Gulf delegates said.They said that one option could be an initial one million bpd increase with a promise of another 500,000 bpd to come in three months time.Iran offered to host an emergency meeting within three months to review policy, an Iranian source told Reuters.Initial opposition to an increase from Iran shifted to a proposal for a modest 700,000-one million bpd increase during a closed session of ministers, the Iranian source said.Iran's acting oil minister Mohammad Aliabadi struck a conciliatory note at the start of the meeting.Iran is a member of OPEC and will go with the decision of the majority, Aliabadi told reporters.As OPEC's biggest producer and the only one with any significant spare capacity, Saudi usually gets its way.But long-time price hawks Iran and Venezuela plus Ecuador, Iraq and Angola all want to keep oil prices above $100 a barrel. Brent crude traded near $116 a barrel.
BASELINE?
Also at issue is the baseline for any increase.As the meeting started it was not clear whether an increase would come on top of current output or from OPEC's out-of-date production target, which is much lower.Delegates said Saudi would prefer to use April OPEC output of 26.33 million bpd as the baseline rather than the old official target of 24.84 million set in December 2008.If Riyadh gets its way, OPEC would be committing to a real increase rather than a cosmetic deal that leaves Saudi to pump more unilaterally outside the official agreement.An increment of, say, 1 million bpd on top of April output would lift OPEC's official target for 11 members by 2.51 million bpd to 27.35 million. Iraq, not bound by a quota, is pumping an additional 2.7 million.Venezuela is holding to a tough line.We do not agree with production being increased now, we must continue to consolidate balance in the market and we have to defend fair prices,Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday in Ecuador.Apparently backing Gulf Arab producers are Nigeria and Algeria who sit on a committee that on Tuesday recommended a one-million-bpd increment.
SAUDI PUMPING MORE REGARDLESS
Regardless of the policy decision, Riyadh will pump more.A Gulf official said Saudi was already raising output by at least 500,000 bpd in June to 9.5-9.7 million bpd.
Saudi output was last as high in the middle of 2008 after oil prices set a record $147 a barrel, shortly before recession sent prices crashing.Forecasts suggest more oil is required to stop oil prices rising again.OPEC's Vienna secretariat sees demand in the second half of the year 1.7 million bpd higher than current cartel output.
Germany fears full-blown bankruptcy in eurozone
ANDREW WILLIS Today JUNE 8,11 @ 10:37 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble believes Greek bankruptcy is imminent, according to a leaked letter, and argues that restructuring of the country's debt is necessary.We are standing before the real risk of the first full-blown bankruptcy inside the eurozone,Schaeuble said in a letter addressed to European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet and leaked to the German press.
In the starkest language yet by a European official, the German minister called for additional aid to be made available to Greece, adding that private banks should participate in the cost of the Greek rescue.EU officials and member states are understood to be currently working on a second bail-out agreement for Greece, in addition to the €110 billion pledged last year, with estimates suggesting the new aid package could total €60 billion.Finance ministers are expected to reach an agreement on 20 June, just three days before a summit of European leaders, with Schaeuble suggesting that private creditors should be made to wait an extra seven years before repayment of their existing Greek loans.Any agreement on 20 June has to include a clear mandate - given to Greece possibly together with the IMF - to initiate the process of involving holders of Greek bonds. This process has to lead to a quantified and substantial contribution of bondholders to the support effort, beyond a pure Vienna initiative approach,reads the letter.Such a result can best be reached through a bond swap leading to a prolongation of the outstanding Greek sovereign bonds by seven years, at the same time giving Greece the necessary time to fully implement the necessary reforms and regain market confidence.
The ECB is strongly opposed to a restructuring of Greek debt however, partially because the bank has bought large quantities of Greek bonds over the past year in order to stabilise markets.ECB executive board member Lorenzo Bini Smaghi on Monday said Greece had marketable assets worth €300 billion, roughly equal to the country's debts, and was therefore not bankrupt.Greece should be considered solvent and should be asked to service its debts,he told journalists.Restructuring should only be the last resort ... when it is clear that the debtor country cannot repay its debts.The battle between Germany and the ECB is likely to play out in the coming days, with the current leadership uncertainty at the IMF also a complicating factor however.In his letter, Schaeuble called on the international lender to maintain its support for Greece.At the same time, unease is growing within Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union over further aid to Greece.The German Chancellor is on Wednesday set to defend her plans in front of increasingly mutinous MPs, who feel they are being bounced into backing a further Greek bail-out.The confrontation comes a day after Merkel met US president Barack Obama in the White House, with the American leader warning that the European debt crisis cannot be allowed to threaten the global economy.

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The UK and France have put forward a draft UN Security Council resolution urging Syria to stop killing protesters, but China and Russia are wary of the move.British foreign minister William Hague told national MPs on Tuesday (7 June) that the text does not call for sanctions or authorise military intervention, as in Libya: Britain has circulated a draft ... calling for the Syrian government to meet their people's legitimate demands, release all prisoners of conscience, lift restrictions on the media and internet and co-operate with the UN high commissioner for human rights.He noted:The house will appreciate that a resolution is not in our gift, and needs the support of nine UN Security Council members and no vetoes.He also said:We are exploring with our European partners the potential for further sanctions if the violence continues.Speaking at a UN event on Aids in New York the same day, French foreign minister Alain Juppe said:It is inconceivable that the UN remain silent on such a matter ... I think it is a question of days, maybe hours [until the vote].
French diplomats have noted that the build-up to military action in Libya began with resolution 1970 in February imposing sanctions on Gaddafi before resolution 1973 in March mandated air strikes.Russia's ambassador to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov, told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday that Moscow is against any 1973-type move on Syria.
He said: The prospect of a UN Security Council resolution along the same lines as 1973 on Libya will not be supported by my country.He added:We believe all these situations require political solutions. I am not sure that sanctions are an effective tool in this situation, and, of course, as Libya has shown, the use of force does not provide answers.China's UN ambassador, Li Baodong, told press at the Aids meeting in New York: We do not think the involvement of the Security Council will help the situation there.President Bashar al-Assad's forces have killed more than 1,100 people since unrest began two months ago, according to Syrian human rights organisation Sawasiah. Human Rights Watch in a study on 1 June entitled We've never seen such horror said systematic killings and torture ... [may] qualify as crimes against humanity.The internal conflict is threatening to spill over into neighbouring countries.People are fleeing the northern town of Jisr al-Shughur for Turkey as government troops prepare for a large-scale assault. And Beirut-based journalist Robert Fisk says the Turkish army has drawn up plans to send several battalions into northern Syria to create a safe zone designed to stop ethnic Kurds from going to Turkey.Israel has complained to the UN that Syria is inciting Palestinian refugees to cause trouble on the contested Israel-Syria border in order to divert attention. Several Palestinians were killed in a border incident on 5 June. Syrian state-run newspaper, Tishrin, says up to 600,000 Palestinians could try to cross the border in future.Meanwhile, neighbouring Iran has warned Western powers to stay out.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday:I condemn the meddling of the US and its allies in Syrian affairs.The UK's Hague the same day told MPs that Iran is ... [giving] equipment and technical advice to help the Syrian regime crush protests in Syria.
A short guide to the Polish presidency
HONOR MAHONY 07.06.2011 @ 11:15 CET
With Poland taking over the presidency of the European Union on 1 July, EUobserver presents a short non-exhaustive guide:Calendar restraints - Being a second-half-of-the-year presidency, Warsaw will fall afoul of the EU's famously extended holiday period. Most of the Brussels EU elite starts disappearing in July. The EU capital re-emerges as a complete political city only around the beginning of September. The same Brussels evacuation starts to take place around the middle of December, too. So, the period for getting things done is short.Polling day - And while the effective calendar months are short, so may the attention span of Polish politicians be. National elections will be held in October. Polish officials promise otherwise, but the call of the local constituency will likely prove more alluring than that of Brussels. Meanwhile, a win for the opposition Jaroslaw Kaczynski will see politicians, in handover mode, distracted for the remainder of the six-month stint too. And, in that case, everyone else will be wondering whether it means a return to the abrasive politics of previous administrations.Defence - It might seem an inauspicious time to want to start talking about EU defence, what with the EU's less-than-exemplary display of unity over Libya, but Poland is going to persevere anyway. If we had civilian and military planning capacity we would have been much effective at the outset of the crisis in Libya, says Europe minister Mikolaj Dowgielewicz.
Warsaw is neither naive about EU defence of afraid to start a conversation about it. (The 'it' includes battlegroups and a permanent military headquarters). And to be fair, no one else is rushing to talk about defence at the moment. It falls to EU top diplomat Catherine Ashton. But she is too busy trying to do several other jobs at once. And Poland has a point when it says is the only country with any military credibility to hold the presidency since France and the only one for quite some time into the future. This is not a debate Denmark and Cyprus can kick off.Eastern Partnership - This is where Poland has a chance to shine. The recognised lead member state when it comes to countries on the EU's eastern borders, it wants to see real progress - on association agreements - with Ukraine and Moldova. An Eastern Partnership Summit in September in Warsaw is meant to give the policy – which has fallen down the political agenda - a boost. Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt recently said the initiative is as significant as the Lisbon Treaty. The problem is getting other bigger member states - read France and Germany - to think like that. More cash would be good too. See below.EU budget talks - The European Commission will this summer publish its first proposals for the EU's 2014-2020 budget, a moment that marks the traditional beginning of table-thumping disagreement until the thing is signed and sealed, usually at the last possible minute about two years later. Poland - very keen on seeing the EU's cohesion funds maintained - is shackled to a neutral position because it is the presidency country. But it hopes to project its budgetary views well beyond its presidency by producing a serious paper for discussion in 2012. It plans 12 technical meetings and two ministerial meetings on the budget.
Energy security - This is a biggie for the Poles. The want the EU to be energy-independent of Russia. And they particularly want Poland to be energy-independent of Russia. This has resulted in some near-evangelical talk about Shale - the unconventional gas apparently in great quantities in Poland and which Warsaw has indicated it would like to exploit. If commercial exploitation is possible - and it remains a big if - the gas would both eventually end the country's heavy reliance on the dirtier coal and on Russia. Environmentalists are sceptical. But expect more talk anyway.The economy - Poland is outside the eurozone - though looking to come in - and so lacks clout here. It is not automatically privy to discussions on economic governance or competitiveness, something brought home in March.However it has an ace up its sleeve: its economy is doing relatively well and the only country in the EU at no point to have tipped into recession during the recent economic crisis. So even if it is not inside the room, it can feel somewhat superior outside it. And its finance minister will chair ecofin - the full complement of EU finance ministers - meetings. Warsaw's main focus will be on implementing the new Single Market Act. It also wants to try and achieve something more ephemeral - economic optimism. According to Dowgielewicz, Point two on our to-do list as a presidency is to try to create a better narrative about the European economy.Arguably a task that alone would be tricky enough for any single presidency.One to watch - On the high-flying foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, opinions are divided. Some say that he has no interest in Poland's EU presidency and so will not help more committed members of the administration to make it a success. Others point to the fact that he has been quick to carve out a role for himself alongside Cathy Ashton. Sikorski is keen to take the lead on eastern neighbourhood issues. But Poland also sees its approach to its eastern neighbourhood as a model for the EU to take towards countries in its southern neighbourhood. This gave Sikorski the perfect excuse to pay a highly publicised visit to Libya in May - the first Western foreign minister to go the country since the uprising began. Sikoroski points out that the trip was agreed with Ashton beforehand. Nevertheless, his interactions with Ashton - weakened by internal criticism - throughout the presidency will be something to keep an eye on.
Stress test - Poland will take over the presidency with the EU creaking at the seams. Centre-right MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski puts it thus: All other presidencies have had difficult challenges but none of them have had such a culmination of difficulties. The Union is undergoing a stress test in terms of the euro, in terms of schengen, in terms of ESDP and in terms of [its] neighbourhood. All that put together makes this presidency extremely challenging. More and more, Poland sees that new member states will have take upon their shoulders the defence of the acquis of the old [member states].Logo - There is a long and proud tradition of EU presidency logos. It is not really clear why they are needed (especially in these post-Lisbon mini-presidency times) but they are always unveiled with a something of a flourish. They also usually attract more interest than the presidency programmes themselves. Past star logos include Belgium's 2001 showing with Magritte's hat, while Italy's 2003 effort was something of a flop, where it remained something of a small mystery as to why the E of EU was backwards. Poland's logo meanwhile is inspired by the by the iconic flag of Solidarnosc and was designed by the very artist who designed that movement's symbol so many years ago.The last word - And according to the somewhat ominous words of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, presidency countries can never be too prepared.My message to the Polish presidency is: Be prepared, because something may happen.Famous events of past presidencies include the Russia-Georgia war under France's watch and the teetering and then utter collapse of the Czech government in the middle of its presidency.

Iran Says Its Submarines are in the Red Sea
by Gil Ronen JUNE 7,11
Iran has sent military submarines to the Red Sea, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.Iranian military submarines entered the Red Sea waters with the goal of collecting information and identifying other countries' combat vessels, Fars said in a Tuesday report, citing an unidentified source.It did not say how many submarines were involved or what type they were but noted they had sailed alongside warships from the Iranian Navy's 14th fleet.State-run Press TV said in a report earlier in May that the 14th fleet – which is comprised of two vessels, the warship Bandar Abbas and the destroyer Shahid Naqdi – had been sent to fight piracy.The fleet entered the Gulf of Aden region in May and has now entered the Red Sea in the continuation of its mission,Fars said.Two Iranian warships passed through the Suez Canal en route to Syria in February, for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Israel called that move a serious provocation.According to Reuters, Iran announced last August it had expanded its fleet of domestically built 120-ton Ghadir-class submarines to 11. These, it said, would be used to patrol the Gulf and the Sea of Oman.Israel reportedly stationed submarines near Iran last year.(Israel NationalNews.com)
Operation Opera Took Out Saddam's Reactor: 30 Year Anniversary by INN Staff JUNE 7,11
Thirty years ago Tuesday, on Sunday, June 7, 1981, eight IAF F-16s and and six F-15s took off from the IAF's Etzion Base in northern Sinai. Their destination was the Iraqi nuclear plant at Al-Tuweitha, near Baghdad.The youngest F-16 pilot was Captain Ilan Ramon, 25. He volunteered to fly last in the attack formation -- the most dangerous position -- because he had no wife or children.The strike made history and denied Iraq's Saddam Hussein his dream of nuclear weapons. He was eventually toppled and executed after the US led a coalition force into Iraq.An animation created in 2003, in the months leading up to the coalition's invasion, tells the story of that strike. By a stroke of chance, it was put online just days after the tragic death of Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut, on board the space shuttle Columbia.The animation by Gil Ronen was viewed at the time by over 250,000 people, including numerous people within the US political leadership and defense establishment -- the same ones who decided to finish the job Israel had started 22 years earlier and rid the world of the danger that Saddam Hussein would ever use weapons of mass destruction against other countries. Israel bombed a site it claimed was a fledgling nuclear reactor in Syria several years ago. The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, recently corroborated Israel's claim, but condemned Israel for destroying the site instead of filing a complaint.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

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.

1st tropical storm of season ramps up in Pacific
– Wed Jun 8, 5:01 am ET
MIAMI – Forecasters say the first tropical storm of the 2011 hurricane season is gaining strength out in the Eastern Pacific.Tropical Storm Adrian's maximum sustained winds increased to about 60 mph early Wednesday, hours after it formed. It's expected to get stronger, but forecasts show it moving away from land in the next few days. No coastal watches or warnings have been issued.The center of the storm is about 345 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico. It is moving slowly in a west-northwest direction. That is expected to continue for the next couple of days.
China floods kill 24, force 100,000 to evacuate
– Wed Jun 8, 2:45 am ET
BEIJING (Reuters) – Heavy rain drenched a swathe of what had been drought-gripped southern and eastern China, killing 24 people and forcing more than 100,000 to evacuate, state media reported on Wednesday.The deaths have been concentrated in the poor southern province of Guizhou, where 21 people have died so far, and 100,000 people have left their homes to escape the rising waters over the past few days, the official Xinhua news agency said.Another 30 people were missing in Guizhou, the report added, suggesting the death toll could rise.The other deaths have been reported in the eastern seaboard province of Jiangsu, Xinhua added, though other parts of that province remain parched.Guizhou will be hit by more rain over the coming few days, and the government has already sent a relief team to the hardest hit areas, it said.The drought has damaged crops and exacerbated a power shortage by cutting power generation from dams, adding a slight bump to near three-year high consumer inflation.The rains will add to farmers' hopes that they will be able to plant mid-year rice crops after early-season plantings suffered during the drought.
The drought has affected millions of hectares of farmland, mainly in the five provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze.Rice acreage in these five provinces accounts for nearly half of China's total rice area, official data show. But early-season rice accounted for only 16 percent of China's total rice output of 196 million tonnes last year.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Ken Wills and Alex Richardson)
23 killed, 6 missing in floods, mudslides in Haiti
By TRENTON DANIEL, Associated Press – Tue Jun 7, 8:46 pm ET
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Heavy rain hammered southern Haiti for a seventh straight day Tuesday, triggering floods and mudslides and causing houses and shanties in the capital to collapse. The official death toll was 23 but could rise as remnants of the storm lingered.Haitian authorities listed six people as missing.Runoff from the rain sent rivers surging and flooded many homes as people scrambled to their rooftops. The slow-moving storm system also toppled trees and debris blocked streets throughout the capital.At least 23 people were killed and more than a dozen injured, said Edgar Joseph, a spokesman for Haiti's Civil Protection Department. Most of the deaths were in Port-au-Prince and they included two who died over the weekend, he said.Thirteen people died in Petionville, a hillside city southeast of downtown Port-au-Prince, Joseph said. In one incident, a concrete house slid down a ravine and crashed into several smaller homes.A 53-year-old man, Jean Wildor Charutis, said his older sister and a niece died in the large house that crashed down the ravine. There was so much rain it shook the house, he said as he and government rescue workers searched for survivors.
The storm system has saturated much of the Caribbean in recent days, with flooding reported in the neighboring Dominican Republic as well as in Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Authorities reported two deaths in the Dominican Republic and one in Jamaica to the weather.Civil defense authorities in the Dominican Republic said 25 homes were destroyed and more than 8,400 people were evacuated. The dead included a 13-year-old boy who was swept away and drowned while watching a river swell near Santo Domingo.In Haiti, the week of pounding rain has deepened the misery for tens of thousands of people living in the tent-and-tarp settlements that sprung up after the January 2010 earthquake. Aid groups have warned that the wet weather could worsen a cholera outbreak that has killed more than 5,300 people since October.Michel Davison, a coordinator for the International Desk of the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, said satellite data indicate that rain drenched Haiti along the border with the Dominican Republic for at least six hours Monday night, dumping between four to six inches.That's a fairly intense rainfall amount, Davison said in a phone interview.That's been happening now for five, seven days. The ground is so saturated at this point that it doesn't take much to produce floods.Davison said Haiti will see more rain Wednesday, but should get a much-needed reprieve later the week.Two children died and three others were injured in the Nazon neighborhood in Port-au-Prince after the wall of a home fell on them, according to the Civil Protection Department.Meanwhile, hospitals saw an influx of patients.
Doctors at a hospital run by the Miami aid group Project Medishare treated at least 10 people for injuries, including a puncture wound, said Gabriele Denis, a hospital administrator. Aid group Doctors Without Borders treated at least 10 people, many of them injured when walls fell on them, said Sylvain Groulx, chief of mission for Doctors Without Borders.Haiti's newly elected President Michel Martelly took to national television just before midnight to calm the nation as the storm was still passing over the city. This message is to tell the population that I'm with you, the president said.Martelly ordered government construction workers to show up to work early Tuesday to help remove debris.Rains earlier this week prompted the government and international aid groups to evacuate dozens of families who live around the overflowing Lake Azuei.Associated Press writers Pierre-Richard Luxama in Port-au-Prince, Howard Campbell in Jamaica and Ezequiel Lopez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, contributed to this report.
Rains send rivers dangerously higher in Caribbean
– Mon Jun 6, 8:25 pm ET
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – Several days of heavy rain sent rivers higher Monday across much of the Caribbean, destroying houses, setting off landslides and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. The storm has been blamed for four deaths in the region, officials said Monday.There were reports of severe flooding in the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica from a low pressure system that lingered south of Jamaica for five days before moving west.In provinces north of the Dominican capital, authorities evacuated more than 4,000 people, and at least a dozen homes were destroyed by floodwaters from the Licey River, said Francisco Arias, a regional civil defense official.In neighboring Haiti, more than 200 people sought shelter after a lake on the country's border with the Dominican Republic burst its banks over the weekend, said Lesly Dorce, an official with Haiti's Civil Protection Department.The water seeped into my home and I was worried about my daughter,said Mecha Calixte, a 32-year-old merchant who walked to the shelter in the town of Thomazeau, where relief groups gave out bags of rice, beans and bottles of cooking oil.There were also reports of extensive flooding in downtown Les Cayes, a city along Haiti's southwestern coast.
Emergency teams in southeastern and eastern Jamaica were trying to rescue at least 50 people trapped by rising floodwaters, and roads were blocked by high waters in at least four parishes elsewhere in the country, said Ronald Jackson, director general at the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management.Floods and mudslides were blamed for one death in the Dominican Republic and two in Haiti in recent days.
Jamaican police said Sunday that a fisherman drowned and another was rescued in rough water off Bob Marley Beach in St. Andrew parish.

Hot weather causes heat warnings, buckled roads
By Mary Wisniewski – Tue Jun 7, 3:50 pm ET
CHICAGO (Reuters) – In Minnesota, a state legendary for its cold winters, the heat and humidity is so high this week that highway pavement was buckling in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.Temperatures in the mid- to upper-90s across the country's mid-section Tuesday caused cities like St. Louis and Detroit to open cooling centers for overheated residents. Cincinnati's fire department sent out extra personnel on calls, so commanders could rotate out exhausted teams.And in Chicago, some public school students struggled to concentrate on finals in un-air-conditioned classrooms as the outside temperature approached a record 97 degrees.It's perspiratory and sweltering, said AccuWeather.com meteorologist Elliot Abrams.You take a shower and step outside and the sweat beads form almost immediately.Abrams warned that people who work outside have to watch out for possible over-exertion and heat stroke.The high temperatures in the Midwest started Monday and are expected to last through Wednesday, spreading to the east on Thursday, according to Jim Allsopp, meteorologist for the National Weather Service. He said temperatures in Illinois are running well above normal, by about 15 degrees.In the Midwest, it's pretty early to be getting this hot,Allsopp said. He said very warm air is coming into the area from the southwest.In the Minneapolis-St. Paul area Monday, 28 pavement failures caused by the heat and humidity popped up on state and U.S. highways in mid-afternoon, causing traffic snarls, said T. K. Kramascz, spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
I don't remember having seen as many as this in one afternoon,Kramascz said. He expects the area could get more of the same Tuesday.Chicago school principals have been told to keep students hydrated and move classes if necessary from rooms exposed to sunlight, according to guidelines distributed to schools. Principals may relax dress codes and allow students to wear shorts, the guidelines said.Relief is coming, according to Allsopp, who said the weather should start cooling off Thursday and Friday in the Midwest, though the south will stay hot.(Writing by Mary Wisniewski; Additional reporting by James B.

Solar flare erupts, creating spectacular images
– JUNE 8,11
GREENBELT, Md. – A medium-sized solar flare has erupted from the sun in an impressive display captured by NASA cameras. Scientists say that the event won't have a significant impact on Earth.NASA says the flare peaked Tuesday and created a large cloud that appeared to cover almost half the surface of the sun. Images were recorded by the orbiting satellite called the Solar Dynamics Observatory.A news release says solar energy released by the event should deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on Wednesday or Thursday.But it's not expected to cause a major impact here. The National Weather Service is predicting minor effects on satellites and weak impacts on some power grids.

Germany expecting more E.coli deaths
By Brian Rohan – JUNE 8,11
HAMBURG (Reuters) – Germany expects the death toll from the E.coli outbreak to rise although the number of new infections from the virulent strain of bacteria that has killed 24 people is likely to drop, the government said on Wednesday.There will be new cases and unfortunately we have to expect more deaths, but the number of new infections are dropping significantly,Health Minister Daniel Bahr told German TV .I can't sound the all-clear, but after analyzing the latest data we have reasonable cause for hope,he said.The German government has been criticized at home and around Europe for its failure to pin down the cause of the outbreak that has stricken over 2,400 people in 12 countries. All cases have been traced back to near Hamburg in northern Germany.The European Union's health chief John Dalli, attending a crisis meeting with officials in Berlin, urged Germany to seek the help of international experts in dealing with what may be the deadliest outbreak of E.coli so far.About one third of E.coli patients in the latest outbreak have developed a severe complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) affecting the blood, kidneys and nervous system.Analysis of samples from restaurants, canteens and kitchens which prepared food where patients ate has failed to yield conclusive evidence for the theory that organic sprouts from a farm in the state of Lower Saxony are to blame.
EPIDEMIC POLICE?
With the critical spotlight on the German federal system which divides responsibility for crisis response between state and central authorities, Bahr rejected calls for a national epidemic police. He said it was typically German to call for a new authority every time there is a fresh crisis.The EU faces compensation costs of more than 150 million euros ($220 million) for farmers hit by plummeting sales of raw vegetables, after Germany first blamed cucumbers from Spain and other salad vegetables, and then German bean sprouts.We must draw on the experience in all of Europe and even beyond, Dalli told Die Welt newspaper.I emphasize strongly how important it is to cooperate closely and share specialist knowledge to bring the E.coli outbreak to an end quickly.Dalli's visit comes as German authorities struggle to pin down the source of the month-old outbreak of a rare strain of E.coli. He advised Berlin to use the experience of countries which have dealt with E.coli outbreaks.The United States and Japan have had similar deadly outbreaks linked to sprouts while it was a Chinese laboratory that used DNA sequencing technology to identify this E.coli outbreak as a new and highly infectious and toxic strain.(Additional reporting by Christiaan Hetzner in Berlin; writing by Eric Kelsey; editing by Myra MacDonald)

Iran to triple nuke output, use better centrifuges
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press – JUNE 8,11
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran will soon install more advanced centrifuges at its new uranium enrichment site, the country's nuclear chief said Wednesday, underscoring Tehran's continued defiance in the face of international sanctions imposed over its controversial nuclear program.Vice President Fereidoun Abbasi also announced that Iran plans to triple its output of the higher enriched uranium in 2011 and move the entire program to the new, secretly-built facility.The uranium enrichment lies at the heart of Iran's dispute with the West, which is concerned that the activity masks efforts to make nuclear weapons — a charge Tehran denies, insisting the work is peaceful and only meant to generate electricity.Abbasi, who also heads Iran's nuclear agency, said that Tehran would set up the more efficient centrifuges, suitable for higher-grade uranium enrichment, at the Fordo site near the holy city of Qom in central Iran.Built next to a military complex to protect it in case of an attack, Fordo was long kept secret and was only acknowledged by Iran after it was identified by Western intelligence agencies in September 2009.At the time, the labs were still under construction inside former ammunition depots carved into a mountainside. The area is heavily protected by the powerful Revolutionary Guard.
Despite four rounds of U.N. sanctions over its refusal to halt the enrichment, Iran has threatened to expand the program tenfold and produce new centrifuges capable of enriching uranium faster than the old ones.This has added to the international concerns because these centrifuges would allow Tehran to accelerate the pace of its program and potentially enable Iran to amass more nuclear material in a shorter time that could be turned into the fissile core of missiles, should it choose to do so.
Centrifuges are machines that are used to enrich uranium. Low-enriched uranium — at around 3.5 percent — can be used to fuel a reactor to generate electricity, which Iran says is the intention of its program. But if uranium is further enriched to around 90 percent purity, it can be used to develop a nuclear warhead.Iran has been producing uranium enriched up to 5 percent for years and began the higher enrichment — up to near 20 percent, considered a threshold between low and high enriched uranium — in February 2010, claiming it needs the higher enriched uranium to produce fuel for a Tehran reactor that makes medical radioisotopes needed for cancer patients.
According to Abbasi, the nuclear chief, the new centrifuges at Fordo would be more advanced than the decades old P-1 type once acquired on the black market and in use at Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz.Soon, we will install 164-machine centrifuge cascades of the new generation (at Fordo),Abbasi was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying after a Cabinet meeting.He also added that Iran would triple the output of its higher enrichment program this year and would move the entire program to Fordo from Natanz. The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, would monitor the transfer, he said.Last month, the IAEA said in a report that Iran estimates it has produced a total of about 125 pounds, or 56.7 kilograms, of uranium enriched to 20 percent by May 21st.When Iran first announced it activated the 164-machine centrifuge cascades for higher enrichment last year, IAEA said the move was contrary to U.N. resolutions demanding Iran suspend all enrichment.Abbasi's announcement came a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticized the IAEA chief Yukiya Amano, claiming the director has discredited the world body by alleging that Iran may be working on a nuclear weapons program.Ahmadinejad was reacting to Amano's earlier comments alleging that some aspects of Iran's nuclear activities could be linked to a weapons program, according to latest information obtained by the U.N. watchdog.
US, allies try to report Syria to UN on nuke issue
By MELISSA EDDY, Associated Press – JUNE 8,11
VIENNA – The United States and its allies pushed ahead Wednesday with efforts to bring Syria before the U.N. Security Council for failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, despite opposition from China and Russia.A draft of a resolution obtained by The Associated Press finds Syria in non-compliance with its obligations with IAEA requirements to allow inspectors access to all nuclear facilities to ensure they are not being used for military purposes.The draft criticizes Syria's lack of cooperation with repeated requests for access by the U.N. nuclear agency to information about a facility at Dair Alzour that appears to have been a nuclear reactor capable of producing plutonium, which is used to arm nuclear weapons. The site was destroyed in 2007.The draft was circulated Wednesday to the 35 ministers who serve on the IAEA's board of governors to be discussed and put to vote. It needs majority approval from the board before it can be sent to the Security Council.The effort comes at the same time that Britain and France are already bringing to a vote a resolution that condemns the crackdown in Syria that has killed hundreds.The IAEA has tried in vain since 2008 to follow up on strong evidence that the Dair Alzour site, bombed in 2007 by Israeli warplanes, was a nearly finished reactor built with North Korea's help.
Drawing on a May 24 report by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano, the resolution expresses serious concern over what it calls Syria's lack of cooperation with the IAEA Director General's repeated requests for access to additional information and locations as well as Syria's refusal to engage substantively with the Agency on the nature of the Dair Alzour site.Some nations have expressed doubt about bringing Syria before the Security Council over an unresolved nuclear issue while there is a nationwide crackdown on a revolt against President Bashar Assad, but diplomats have indicated that a majority should be possible.But without China and Russia the question remains whether that is enough, given the power of those nations to veto any measures that come before the Security Council.Associated Press writer George Jahn contributed to this report.
UK PM says UN resolution will condemn Syria
By DANICA KIRKA, Associated Press – JUNE 8,11
LONDON – Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain and France will propose a U.N. resolution on Wednesday that condemns a crackdown in Syria that has killed hundreds.
Cameron told the House of Commons that the two nations wish to object to the actions of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and would be offering a resolution at the Security Council condemning the repression and demanding accountability and humanitarian action.If anyone votes against that resolution or tries to veto it, that should be on their conscience, he said.The resolution is separate from another measure being directed at Syria's nuclear program. The United States and its allies are pushing ahead with efforts to bring Syria before the U.N. Security Council for failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, despite opposition from China and Russia.In an online briefing Wednesday, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said France decided it was time to act over the crackdown.
The moment has come for the international community to assume its responsibilities considering the Syrian regime's decision to continue and heighten its use of violence and repression,Valero said.The statements came as troops and tanks made their way to the restive northern area where soldiers reportedly joined an anti-government uprising, according to a Syrian human rights worker Mustafa Osso. That raised the prospect of another bout of bloodshed in Syria's nationwide crackdown on the revolt against Assad.Activists say the crackdown has killed more than 1,300 Syrians.The sponsors put the draft U.N. resolution before the 15-member Security Council in its final form and there is then a 24-hour period before the measure is put to a vote.Associated Press writers Jenny Barchfield and Edie Lederer contributed to this story.

Israel: Protests show fight over state's existence
By JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press – Mon Jun 6, 3:02 pm ET
JERUSALEM – A second round of deadly clashes with Palestinian protesters trying to breach the border from Syria has made Israel's leadership even more skeptical about reaching peace with its Arab neighbors.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday angrily accused Syria's embattled president of orchestrating the protests to deflect attention from internal unrest. More broadly, Netanyahu said the Syrian-backed assault on Israel's borders was fueling a Palestinian challenge to the very existence of the Jewish state.The argument is over the fact of the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, he told reporters after a meeting of his Likud Party.
For the second time in a month, hundreds of unarmed protesters from Syria, many of them the descendants of Palestinian refugees from 1948, surged toward the frontier with the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Sunday and tried to burst through the border. Israeli forces kept the crowd from making it through, but 23 protesters were killed, according to Syrian officials. Those numbers were impossible to independently verify.In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Monday that the American administration was deeply troubled by the Syrian protests, which he said appeared to be an effort by the Syrian government to incite events and draw attention away from its own internal issue.Israel, like any sovereign nation, has a right to defend itself, he said.Three weeks earlier, hundreds of protesters successfully breached the border for several hours before they were rounded up and sent back to Syria. Four were reported killed.The protesters were not calling for a Palestinian state alongside Israel — the stated goal of peace talks. Instead, they demanded a return to the homes of ancestors who lost properties during Israel's war of independence six decades ago.
These repeated attempts to challenge Israel's borders have played into widespread Israeli fears that the Palestinians do not seek a state only in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war — but ultimately want to take over all of present-day Israel as well.The demand that has been raised over the last few days that descendants of Palestinian refugees return to the Jewish state is a demand that will kill the peace process, said Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev.Those who want to flood Israel with the descendants of Palestinian refugees want to destroy the Jewish state.The plight of Palestinian refugees is one of the most difficult and emotional issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians either fled or were driven from their homes during the 1948-49 Mideast war. Today, those refugees and their descendants number several million. The Palestinians claim these people have an inalienable right to return to lost properties.Israel rejects any large-scale return of refugees, saying it would destroy the country's Jewish character. It says refugees should be resettled in a future Palestinian state.
Israel has been shaken by the political turmoil sweeping the Middle East. Netanyahu has warned of Islamic militants gaining strength from the unrest, and Israelis are nervous about the prospect of a new Egyptian regime that might be more hostile to Israel, though the two nations have a peace treaty.The latest round of peace talks with the Palestinians broke down in September, just three weeks after their launch, over Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Palestinian's hoped-for capital.Azzam Ahmed, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the Palestinians remain committed to reaching peace with Israel.
We have been negotiating with Israel to establish an independent state on the 1967 borders and resolve the refugees issue in an agreed-upon solution, but Israel always declined and created huge obstacles by building settlements in the Palestinian territories, he said.He said the protests in Syria are not about undermining Israel. It's about individual rights for each one driven out of his home to return to his home.The protests have added to Netanyahu's skepticism toward the Palestinians. He has said it would be impossible to resume peace talks with Abbas if the Palestinian leader goes through with plans to form a unity government with the rival Hamas group. The Iranian-backed Hamas opposes peace with Israel.Israel has also criticized Palestinian plans to seek U.N. recognition of their independence in September, with or without a peace deal.Israeli defense officials believe the Syrian unrest could be a dry run for much wider protests in the West Bank and east Jerusalem after a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence in September. Israeli military officials acknowledge they are intensely preparing for September, though they have said little about how they will respond.On Monday, Syrian police blocked dozens of protesters from approaching the Israeli frontier, apparently fearing a repeat of the deadly clashes a day earlier.Syria gave no reason for the move, but could be wary of provoking Israel too much. While the two countries have not fought a war in nearly 40 years, Israel has occasionally struck targets inside Syria in response to perceived threats.Israeli leaders made it clear they held Syria responsible for the latest violence. It allowed these people to carry out provocations that challenged Israel's sovereignty,Netanyahu said.This is an attempt to divert international attention from events in Syria.Human rights groups say more than 1,200 people have died in Syria's crackdown on anti-government protesters since March.Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, predicted that Syrian President Bashar Assad's days in office were numbered, and said there was no point in pursuing peace with the teetering Syrian government.Israel has conducted several rounds of talks with Syria, most recently in 2008, but never reached an agreement.I think he will fall. He has lost his legitimacy,Barak told Israel Radio.Federman can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/joseffederman
Holiday of the Torah Begins Tuesday Night
by Hillel Fendel JUN 6,11
The Jewish holiday of Shavuot is set to begin Tuesday night – lasting for its one Biblical day (from sunset to the next sunset) in Israel, and two days in the rest of the world.Shavuot (Pentecost, Feast of Weeks), as well as Pesach (Passover) and Sukkot (Tabernacles), are the three pilgrimage festivals on which Jews are bidden to visit Jerusalem. Tens of thousands of people are in fact expected to arrive at the Western Wall throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, though the Biblical commandment to visit Jerusalem on these days applies fully only when the Holy Temple is built.The current custom of gathering at the Wall for the holiday began spontaneously on the Shavuot holiday of 1967 (5727), which followed the Six Day War and the liberation of Jerusalem by only a few days. Realizing that masses of people would descend upon the Wall and its narrow walkway, the authorities razed the old buildings within 100 meters from the Wall in order to make room. It was the first holiday in 1,900 years in which throngs of Jews congregated at the Western Wall.The holiday of Shavuot marks the Jewish People's receiving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai 3,323 years ago. It also marks the day after the 49-day Sefirat HaOmer counting period, which begins on the Passover holiday. The counting denotes the fact that the ultimate purpose of the Exodus from Egypt was for the Jewish People to receive the Torah and begin its national/spiritual existence as the People of the Book.
Features of the joyous Shavuot holiday include:
* remaining awake all night to study Torah; known as Tikkun Leil Shavuot.
* the bringing of the Bikurim (First Fruits) to the Holy Temple (temporarily suspended, until the Temple is rebuilt);
* the time of the wheat harvest;
* the public reading of the Book of Ruth for several reasons, among them: Ruth accepted Judaism as the Jews did on the holiday, the story takes place during the Shavuot season, and King David, her descendant, died on Shavuot.
* a wide-spread custom of eating dairy foods on Shavuot, as the Torah is compared to milk and honey under the tongue. (for more reasons, see our Shavuot dairy recipe)
In Israel, Shavuot is a legal holiday. There is no public transportation; schools, offices and most stores are closed; newspapers are not published. (Israel National News.com)
Shalit Supporters to Call: Block Money to Gaza
by Elad Benari JUN 7,11
A demonstration is expected to be held on Friday near Israel’s border with Gaza, during which protesters will call on the Israeli government to stop transferring funds to the Hamas leadership in Gaza.The demonstration is being organized by Orna Shimoni, a founder of the Four Mothers movement that helped bring about the IDF's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. She explained during an interview on Monday with Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website what led her to organize the protest.
Shimoni explained that the main purpose of her struggle is to stop the transfer of funds into Gaza, since these funds enable the Hamas leadership to purchase weapons that can then be used against Israelis. She noted that in the past, these weapons were purchased and smuggled into the Strip through the underground tunnels, but that today it is much easier for Hamas to bring the weapons into Gaza openly (through the recently reopened Rafiah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt).She reminded that every month, Israel allows for the entry of $13.5 million into the Gaza Strip, and that the money comes out of accounts belonging to the Bank of Israel.Eighty percent of the dollars transferred to Gaza are used to smuggle weapons which then return to us in the form of missiles fired at buses and towns, and twenty percent of the funds are used to pay the wages for Hamas leaders, including the captors of Gilad Shalit, said Shimoni, adding that no one disputes these figures. At least until the day Gilad Shalit is released, we should not transfer money to Gaza through the State of Israel.She said she does not accept the official claim that the money, which sometimes comes from countries belonging to the European Union and sometimes comes from the Palestinian Authority itself, belongs to the PA Arab residents of Gaza. She added that she sees this as a matter of principle, just as Israel would not enable the transfer of money to a Nazi organization or to the Hizbullah terror group. She emphasized that the funds are not intended to benefit local residents and that the residents do not see any of the money. The money goes to the Hamas leadership in Gaza and is streamlined towards salaries and weapons, and we must stop this money from going through, even if we are only used as a pipeline.Shimoni said that the original idea was to hold the demonstration in front of the home of Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer, as he is the one responsible for transfers of funds from the Bank of Israel. She added, however, that the plan was dropped at the request of Gilad’s father, Noam Shalit, who believes that the focus of the pressure to release his son should be the decision-makers, i.e. the Prime Minister, government ministers, and other members of Knesset. As such, the location of the protest was changed, though she said she herself believes Fischer, as the one who pressured Israel to transfer the funds to Gaza, should also stand up to public pressure to cancel the move.
Shimoni noted that she believes the motive behind Fishcher’s move may have been his longtime friendship with PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. The two had met when both had worked for the World Bank. She also brought up the possibility that Fischer wanted to please the European Union and the World Bank and for this reason decided to push for money to be transferred to Hamas. She said, however, that despite her deep appreciation for Fischer, his move cannot be accepted when it leads to attacks on Israel’s security.According to Shimoni, if Hamas knows that Israel is serious and would actually stop the transfer of funds, it will be frightened and will drop the price it is requesting for Shalit’s release.Without the money, there is no Hamas, she said, adding that during Friday’s demonstration she plans to bring up the issue in public and thus interrupt the silence over the transfer of funds to Gaza.Meanwhile, Shalit’s parents were in France Monday to file a lawsuit in a Paris court regarding their son being held hostage. They say he may have suffered acts of torture or of barbarism.Shalit is a French citizen and the legal action is intended to put more pressure on the French government to work for his release.Last week, French first lady Carla Bruni responded to a personal letter from Sara Netanyahu on the subject of Shalit, with a note of her own in which she said that France was sparing no effort in its attempts to mediate Shalit’s release.Like you, I wish with all my heart that this episode will be over soon, Bruni wrote.
The issue of the price that Israel should pay for Shalit’s release has been one of controversy in the country. Hamas has demanded that Israel release thousands of Arab prisoners being held in Israeli prisons, some of whom were involved in deadly suicide terror attacks and are behind the deaths of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians.Some groups, mostly from the left, are saying Israel should pay any price for Shalit, including releasing potentially dangerous terrorists. Those who oppose such deals are saying that Israel cannot release prisoners who are likely to go back to terror, and thus endanger the lives of hundreds of more Israelis.Click here to view one such debate, which took place this week between Meir Indor of the Almagor Terror Victims Association and Shimshon Liebman, Chairman of the Gilad Shalit Action Committee.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Clinton meets Israeli, Palestinian peace envoys
By Andrew Quinn – Mon Jun 6, 7:19 pm ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held separate meetings with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators on Monday as the United States seeks to find a way to revive moribund peace talks.Clinton also met visiting French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe -- who launched a separate bid to start talks -- but said it was too early to consider a proposed Paris conference because neither side appeared willing to talk despite a looming September showdown over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations.We strongly support a return to negotiations, but we do not think that it would be productive for there to be a conference about returning to negotiations, Clinton told reporters.There has to be a return to negotiations, which will take a lot of persuasion and preliminary work in order to set up a productive meeting between the parties, she said, adding that Washington was in a wait-and-see attitude.Clinton's meetings with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and his Israeli counterpart Yitzhak Molcho came amid mounting concern over the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, which remains deadlocked despite the wave of political change sweeping the Arab world.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he intends to seek U.N. recognition of Palestinian statehood at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in September -- a move which both Israel and the United States say will only inflame tensions.Juppe said his offer last week to host talks between the two sides in Paris was based on concerns that that situation could spin out of control if September arrives and no peace talks are under way.We have the feeling if nothing happens before September, the situation will be very difficult for everybody,he told reporters.
FALTERING EFFORT
President Barack Obama presided over the resumption of direct peace talks between the two sides in September, but the effort collapsed almost immediately over Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank.Obama has said he believed it was possible to get a framework deal for peace within a year, and last month sought to accelerate the momentum by proposing that the two sides discuss terms based on the borders that existed in before the 1967 war in which Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, along with agreed territorial swaps.But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads a coalition dominated by pro-settler parties, swiftly rejected the plan as unworkable.The faltering effort has been further strained by a recent Palestinian political unity deal between President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and the rival Islamist Hamas, which controls Gaza and remains sworn to Israel's destruction.While the Palestinians say the planned unity government will be technocratic with no direct role for Hamas, both Israeli and U.S. leaders have said peace talks are not possible unless Hamas explicitly recognizes Israel's right to exist and renounces violence.
Clinton said on Tuesday those concerns remained.
It is not enough for us that it would be called technocratic, she said.If Hamas is involved we think that undermines the whole purpose of negotiations because we would have a party that rejects Israel's right to exist.Erekat, speaking after his meeting with Clinton, said he had sought to address U.S. concerns over Hamas -- but repeated that Palestinians must achieve political reconciliation if they are to meet their goal of forming an independent state.This is not a power-sharing government, Erekat said.This will be a government for elections, and reconstruction of Gaza, and a government that runs Abbas' program,he said.He said the Palestinians remained firm in their intention to seek U.N. recognition, and warned that failure to move toward statehood could throw a question mark over the future viability of Abbas' Palestinian Authority.(Editing by Eric Walsh)

Russia and EU clash on trade ahead of summit
ANDREW RETTMAN 06.06.2011 @ 08:15 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has made fun of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the EU ambassador in Moscow in the run-up to an EU-Russia summit.Using his trademark colourful language, Putin told press in Sochi on Friday (3 June) that he will not lift Russia's E-Coli-related import ban on EU vegetables.The EU says Russia's decision contradicts the spirit of the WTO, but we can't poison people because of some spirit, he said, according to newswires.I openly admit I don't know what spirit is being contradicted ... But when people are dying from eating cucumbers, then something stinks.Putin's remarks came after the EU ambassador in Moscow, Fernando Valenzuela, protested that the blanket ban goes against the code of the Geneva-based free trade club.As the intention of Russia, which we support fully, is to join the WTO, possibly this year ... Russia should voluntarily be already implementing these rules in full, the EU envoy told reporters in Moscow on Thursday.The disagreement comes a few days before EU and Russian officials sit down in Nizhny Novgorod on 9 June to discuss prospects of Russia's WTO entry.An EU official told this website that EU-Russia talks are in the endgame phase, but that concerns remain over protectionism in some sectors.
The vegetable ban is set to help domestic Russian farmers - Russia imports 11 percent of its tomatoes from the EU and five percent of cucumbers.Lebanon is the only other country to react with a total blockade. The EU envoy in Beirut, Angelina Eickhorst, said on Saturday the vegetable ban is scientifically unjustified and violates a 2006 EU-Lebanon agreement.German scientists over the weekend continued to hunt for the source of the E Coli outbreak, with the likeliest suspect being bean sprouts in Lower Saxony.The World Health Organisation (WHO) says over 20 people have died and 2,000 have been infected since early May.Cases - relating to people who travelled to Germany - have also occurred in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. The epidemic has mostly affected women.The Escherichia coli (E Coli) bacterium lives in the gut of warm-blooded animals. It can cause bloody diarrhoea, cramps, fever and vomiting. Some patients develop haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a potentially fatal kidney condition.EU health ministers will discuss the situation at a meeting in Luxembourg on Monday.
EU to monitor anti-corruption measures in member states VALENTINA POP 06.06.2011 @ 17:42 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A special report on what EU member states are doing to fight corruption and how cases are actually solved is to be drafted by the European Commission every two years, home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom has announced.No country in the EU is totally free from corruption. Four out of five EU citizens regard corruption as a major problem in their country. This is a serious challenge, socially, politically and economically,she said during a press conference on Monday (6 June).The new mechanism, which will provide non-binding evaluations and recommendations of the countries' actual anti-corruption practices, not only adopted laws and norms - is seen as a pressure tool on politicians to live up to their transparency and clean government pledges.With an estimated €120 billion lost to corruption every year - the equivalent of the entire EU budget - Malmstrom pointed out that showing resolve on enforcing anti-corruption measures has also a positive impact on the economy and helps regain confidence on the financial markets.
Corrupt practices, dodgy book-keeping and outright lying about the country's finances already have forced Greece, Latvia and Hungary to seen external financial aid. But bringing high level politicians to court and having them put behind bars for corruption is still a rare phenomenon throughout the bloc, and not just in EU's newest members, Bulgaria and Romania, who both are under a special EU monitoring in this regard.While most countries have all the international and EU laws in place on fighting corruption, one of the main challenges is the lack of commitment in enforcing zero tolerance for corruption, Malmstrom noted.To what extent a non-binding, bi-annual report will help governments clean up their act, remains to be seen, but the Swedish-born commissioner kept confident that the perspective of naming and shaming will spur governments to clean up their act.The first report is set to be published in 2013 and is likely to be structured on a theme - for instance public procurement in all 27 member states.The purpose is not to rank member states, but the information will be there, who is doing what, what are the best practices and the gaps,the commissioner explained.EUobserver understands that this was a compromise to get the mechanism approved, with commissioners from big member states reluctant to endorse a ranking or a comprehensive report on the state of corruption in each member state.What Malmstrom did succeed, however, is to base the report not solely on information stemming from national governments, but also from NGOs and independent advisers.
In addition, a so-called network of anti-corruption correspondents is to be set up throughout the EU and feed the commission with real-time information on high-level corruption cases, on judicial follow-up, on bribes and dodgy contracts involving EU and national funds alike, mostly drawn from what the media reports in a given country.It's very good news that for the first time, the commission will be looking at anti-corruption measures in all member states, Romanian centre-right MEP Monica Macovei, herself an anti-graft campaigner, told this website.Existing mechanisms, such as the Council of Europe's group of states against corruption (Greco) only looks at legislation and bases its reports on what governments answer to their questionnaires.Greece, Romania, they are all great at adopting laws. But the problem is to implement them, Macovei says.Her British colleague from the Liberal group, Sarah Ludford, also welcomed this mechanism because it will at least open the discussion about EU corruption, which has long been the elephant in the room.Serious action to root out both corruption and its twin major threat to the EU, organised crime, is long overdue. For far too long, even the UK failed to visibly tackle bribery,the British MEP said in a press release.To Austrian independent MEP Martin Ehrenhauser, his home country is no A student either.Having a report on anti-corruption measures is a first step in the right direction. But it is questionable if big member states will allow critical reports,he said.
As with any piece of draft legislation or monitoring report, the EU corruption report will have to be adopted by unanimity in the college of commissioners. In theory, commissioners are not there to represent national interests, but in practice, capitals still have an important leverage on the final texts through their respective commissioners.As long as it's non-binding for us, we're fine with it. Corruption is bad, everyone wants to fight it,one EU diplomat told this website.The main NGO dealing with corruption perception in the public and private sectors, Transparency International, also stressed that this mechanism alone will not solve the problem. With the various indicators and assessment criteria still to be defined, TI urges the commission to make them fast and flexible enough so as to reflect the country-specific areas particularly prone to corruption and to publicly encourage compliance by outlining corruption risks, trends and possible weaknesses.

IAEA turns up heat on Syria, Iran
by Simon Morgan – Mon Jun 6, 12:51 pm ET
VIENNA (AFP) – UN atomic watchdog chief Yukiya Amano turned up the heat on Syria and Iran -- both accused of illicit nuclear activity -- as the body's policy-making board of governors began meeting here Monday.Tehran and Damascus are both accused of actively blocking the International Atomic Energy Agency's long-running investigations into illegal nuclear activity.At the end of May, Amano released two new reports in which he said Iran was continuing to stockpile low-enriched uranium, in defiance of multiple UN sanctions, and refusing to answer allegations of possible military dimensions to its contested nuclear programme.Syria, for its part, is accused of building an undeclared atomic reactor at a remote desert site and has not allowed UN inspectors access to locations, data or individuals who could help clear up the allegations.Addressing the IAEA's governors on the first day of their traditional week-long June meeting, Amano defended his decision to go public with his assessment that a suspect site in Syria was very likely to have been an undeclared nuclear reactor, as alleged by the United States.
The Syrian government was given ample time by the agency to cooperate fully concerning the Dair Alzour site, but did not do so,Amano said, according to a copy of his speech circulated to journalists.Nevertheless, we had obtained enough information to draw a conclusion. I judged it appropriate to inform member states of our conclusion at this stage as it was in no one's interest to let this situation drag on indefinitely, Amano said.Damascus has always insisted that Dair Alzour was a non-nuclear military installation, but has provided no evidence to back that up. Furthermore, it has repeatedly denied the IAEA access to the site to clear up the allegations for itself.I am confident about our conclusion and I look forward to engaging further with Syria to resolve related outstanding issues, Amano said.He told a news conference later that, a couple of days after his report, Syria wrote to the IAEA promising full cooperation and that officials from both sides had since met for talks.But expressing an intention is not good enough. We would like to see concrete results, Amano said.Syria had still not provided any concrete indication as to what form its full cooperation would take. Nevertheless, the two sides had agreed to meet again following the end of the June session of the board of governors, Amano continued.The US and its Western allies are expected to propose a resolution at the board meeting to find Damascus in non-compliance with its international obligations and report it to the UN Security Council in New York.Western diplomats believe there is sufficient support on the 35-member board for the resolution to be passed, although it would be naive to expect it to be carried unanimously, a number of them said.
Asked if a resolution would jeopardise Damascus's willingness to cooperate, Amano replied: Whether to report it to Security Council or not is the matter of member states, I'm not involved in that.But even if Damascus were to be reported to New York,I don't think it changes my work. What is needed... is that Syria is prepared to cooperate with us and I'm looking forward to work with them whatever happens.The last time a member state was reported to the UN Security Council was Iran in February 2006 and the IAEA is still no closer than it was then to establishing whether the Islamic republic's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful, as Tehran maintains.Turning to the IAEA's long-running Iran investigation, Amano said the watchdog has received further information related to possible past or current undisclosed nuclear-related activities that seem to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme.The IAEA has long been pressing Tehran to answer the allegations. But Iran has merely dismissed the evidence backing up the allegations as fabricated and baseless, and refused to discuss the matter further.
New data suggests Iran military link: U.N. atom chief
By Fredrik Dahl and Sylvia Westall – Mon Jun 6, 10:47 am ET
VIENNA (Reuters) – Iran seems to have carried out nuclear-related work with possible military links until recently, the U.N. atomic watchdog chief said on Monday, citing new information adding to concerns about Tehran's activities.Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made clear in a speech to the IAEA's 35-nation governing board his growing frustration at the Islamic state's failure to answer agency queries about its nuclear program.His remarks are likely to be welcomed by Western powers as a sign that he is gradually ratcheting up the pressure on Iran.The United States and its allies accuse Iran of seeking to develop an atomic weapons capability. Iran rejects the accusation, saying its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity so that it can export more of its oil and gas.For several years, the IAEA has been investigating Western intelligence reports indicating Iran has coordinated efforts to process uranium, test explosives at high altitude and revamp a ballistic missile cone so it can take a nuclear warhead.
Western diplomats believe Amano is in effect warning Tehran to cooperate or face a possible assessment by the IAEA on the likelihood it has conducted nuclear activity with possible military aspects.Such an assessment could lend weight to any renewed Western push to tighten sanctions on the major oil producer.Amano said the U.N. agency had received further information related to possible past or current undisclosed nuclear-related activities that seem to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program.He later told a news conference, without disclosing the source of the information: The activities in Iran related to the possible military dimension seem to have been continued until quite recently.
LETTER DIPLOMACY
Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment, activity which can have both civilian and military uses, has drawn four rounds of U.N. sanctions since 2006.The Japanese IAEA chief has taken a blunter approach than his predecessor Mohamed ElBaradei toward the Islamic state.Amano said he had written last month to the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani,reiterating the agency's concerns about the existence of possible military dimensions.He had also asked for Iran to provide prompt access to locations, equipment, documentation and officials to help resolve the agency's queries.Amano made clear that Iran's response had not been satisfactory, saying he had sent a new letter to Abbasi-Davani on June 3 in which I reiterated the agency's requests to Iran.In his May 26 letter to Amano, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters on Friday, Abbasi-Davani reiterated Iran's position that the allegations were fabricated, and said U.N. sanctions resolutions against the country were illegal and unacceptable.The IAEA, tasked with ensuring that nuclear technology is not diverted for military aims, says Iran has not engaged with the agency in substance on the issue of possible military aspects to Iran's nuclear program since mid-2008.Iran was not providing the necessary cooperation to enable the agency to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, Amano said.I urge Iran to take steps toward the full implementation of all relevant obligations in order to establish international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program,he said.

Latest developments in Arab world's unrest
By The Associated Press – Mon Jun 6, 3:55 pm ET
SYRIA-Armed men attack Syrian security forces in a tense northern city, state television says, and 120 policemen and security forces are killed in a region where the army has carried out days of deadly assaults on protesters calling for the end of President Bashar Assad's rule. Communications are cut to the area around Jisr al-Shughour, and the details of the attack were impossible to verify, but there have been unconfirmed reports in the past by residents and activists of Syrians fighting back against security forces. The government promises a decisive response, setting the stage for an even stronger government crackdown against a popular uprising that began in mid-March.
YEMEN-With the wounded president out of Yemen, the United States and Saudi Arabia scramble to arrange a power transfer ensuring an end to his decades-long rule. But a top official says President Ali Abdullah Saleh, recovering in Saudi Arabia, would return home within days, a step almost certain to spark new, intensified fighting between his forces and opposition tribesmen determined to topple him. Both sides' fighters are deployed in the streets of the capital, and a cease-fire brokered by Saudi Arabia only a day earlier is already starting to fray, with clashes killing at least six.
LIBYA-Libya's rebels have arbitrarily detained dozens of civilians suspected of supporting ruler Moammar Gadhafi and at least one has died after apparently being tortured while in custody, Human Rights Watch says. Since the uprising started in mid-February, rebels have seized control of much of the country's east and scrambled to set up an administration in their de facto capital of Benghazi. Rebels also hold the western city of Misrata and smaller towns in the western mountains. Both sides have taken prisoners in the fighting. NATO intensifies its airstrikes in and around the capital of Tripoli, targeting military installations and a government building.
EGYPT-Crowds of Egyptians dressed in black hold demonstrations to honor a young man from Alexandria beaten to death a year ago in a savage attack blamed on police that helped inspire the uprising that brought down Egypt's president. Photographs of Khaled Said's badly disfigured and bloodied face were posted on the Internet and became an instant rallying point for campaigners trying to bring attention to rampant police brutality under the regime of Hosni Mubarak. A Facebook page in his honor called We are all Khaled Said was used months later to call for the protests that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11. On Monday's anniversary of his death, crowds held protests in Cairo and Alexandria to remember him and draw attention to continued abuses by Egyptian police.
BAHRAIN-Dozens of doctors and nurses who treated injured anti-government protesters during the months of unrest in Bahrain go on trial in a security court on allegations they participated in efforts to overthrow the Gulf country's monarchy. The prosecution of 47 health professionals is a sign that Bahrain's Sunni rulers will not end their relentless pursuit of the Shiite-led opposition despite officially lifting emergency rule last week. The medical workers are charged with participating in efforts to topple Bahrain's Sunni monarchy and taking part in illegal rallies.
Iranian Lawmakers Tour Lebanon-Israel Border
by Gil Ronen JUN 6,11
Lebanon prevented rioters from coming near Israel’s border on Naksa Day Sunday, but allowed an Iranian parliamentary delegation to tour the Lebanese-Israeli border.
The delegation was led by Ghulam Ali Hadad Adel, a member of the Iranian Majlis (parliament), who is also an adviser to Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini, and is married to Khameini’s daughter.Accompanied by Iran’s Beirut ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi, the delegation visited the town of Maroun a-Ras, where heavy fighting took place between Hizbullah and the IDF in the 2006 Lebanon War. Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also made a point of visiting the town on his Lebanese tour last year.Adel waved the PLO flag and gave a speech expressing his appreciation and admiration for the martyrs and the Palestinian nation for their determination to return to their homes and land.Iran, he said, would continue to support the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine – a reference to Hizbullah and Hamas. Ambassador Roknabadi said that the Palestinian nation is determined to achieve its rights in any way and by any means, after it turned out that the United Nations Security Council cannot implement its resolutions on refugees.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Syria to send in army after 120 troops killed
By Mariam Karouny – Mon Jun 6, 7:00 pm ET
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian forces fought gunmen in battles that left more than 120 members of the security forces dead, state television said in the first report of large-scale armed clashes in the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad.The television said on Monday armed groups set government buildings ablaze in the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour, stole five tonnes of dynamite and were firing at civilians and security forces with machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades.The security forces have managed to end a blockade of one of the neighborhoods that was seized by the gunmen for awhile and are now battling them to end the blockade of the other neighborhoods, the television said.The gunmen mutilated some of the bodies and threw some into the river. The people in Jisr al-Shughour are urging the army to intervene speedily,it said.Opposition activists earlier said a security operation had been under way in the town since Saturday in which they said at least 37 residents and 10 police had been killed.But it was impossible to verify the conflicting accounts of the violence from activists and officials as authorities have prevented most international media from operating in Syria.Interior Minister Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar said authorities would respond firmly to armed attacks and Information Minister Adnan Mahmoud said the army, which has so far stayed out of the town, will carry out their national duty to restore security.Rights groups say 1,000 civilians have been killed in the protests which have swept from the southern city of Deraa to the Mediterranean coast and eastern Kurdish regions.
ARMED REBELLION
But the ferocity of the crackdown could increase further if the government comes up against an armed insurrection.Syrian forces crushed an armed Islamist uprising in the city of Hama in 1982 on the orders of Bashar's father, President Hafez al-Assad, killing up to 30,000 people.An activist told Reuters that police and members of the security forces in Jisr al-Shughour were killed by gunmen.Some people in some areas have taken up arms, he said.The situation is grave, what is happening is an armed rebellion. I oppose violence from whatever side it comes from.Residents said violence erupted in Jisr al-Shughour on Saturday when snipers on the roof of the main post office fired at a funeral for six protesters killed the day before.Angry mourners set fire to the post office, a history teacher in the town called Ahmad said. State television said eight members of the security forces were killed when armed gunmen attacked the post office building.It said at least 20 security force members were killed in an ambush by armed gangs, and 82 were killed in an attack on a security post. It said the overall death toll for security forces was more than 120.A rebellion in Jisr al-Shughour was crushed by Bashar's father in 1980 with scores of deaths.Assad has sent in tanks to crush demonstrations in certain flashpoints.He also has made some reformist gestures, such as issuing a general amnesty to political prisoners and launching national dialogue, but protesters and opposition figures have dismissed such measures.(Additional reporting by Dominic Evans; Editing by Jon Hemming)

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.

Ongoing rains worsen record-breaking floods along Missouri River The Christian Science Monitor By Mark Guarino – JUNE 6,11
Chicago – Heavy flooding along the Missouri River will last throughout the summer, predict federal officials. The surging waters, created by unprecedented weather conditions, have already caused levee failures, and more are expected to come.The Missouri River and its tributaries in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota are swelling with water. A confluence of factors are driving the rising waters, notably the record heavy snowfall earlier this year in the Rocky Mountain region. Snow accumulation was 140 percent above normal, says Lynn Maximuk, director of the National Weather Service in the central region.We do have quite an unusual set of circumstances, meteorologically,Mr. Maximuk told reporters Monday afternoon.
The unusually heavy snows – combined with ongoing heavy rains, expected to continue all summer – will create a total runoff of some 55 million acre-feet of water, according to projections from the US Army Corps of Engineers. (An acre-foot of water is the equivalent of one foot of water covering one acre of land.)That’s the highest runoff level since they began keeping records in 1898.The immediate danger this week comes from heavy storms, expected to move south along the river valley. Meteorologists predict that 2 inches of rain in Montana and North Dakota and up to 3 inches of rain in Omaha, Neb., will fall over the next few days, Maximuk says.May was the second-wettest month for northern Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota since 1889.To relieve pressure on the river, the Corps plans to release 150,000 cubic feet per second of water at the Oahe Dam above Pierre, S.D., on Tuesday. The other dams will be opened in succession, remaining open through mid-August.Kevin Grode, a Missouri Basin reservoir regulation team leader with the Corps, says the amount of water released may increase, depending on the changing climate.We are going to be testing the system, he stresses,because we’ll be releasing more water than has ever been released before.Local officials in some states are criticizing the Corps for not opening the dams earlier, which Mr. Grode challenges. Conditions in the basin were not as extreme as they are now,he says.We did not see a great need.Water is already surging at all six of the dams along the river, breaking records at each one. According to Grode, runoff waters are highest at Gavins Point, located near Yankton, S.D. The flow there reached 10.5 million acre-feet, breaking a previous record of 7.2 acre-feet, set in 1995.
While Grode says the dams are all very safe, the levee system is more vulnerable – and will likely be stressed throughout the year, he warns. Tributary systems that feed into the Missouri River are also expected to flood.A levee breach near Hamburg, Iowa, on Sunday resulted in a mandatory evacuation of residents. Corps officials have not yet determined what caused the breach. The National Guard dropped 22 thousand-pound sandbags on the levee, as an emergency measure to keep the water from flowing through the breach. Flooding will stretch two miles inland, officials predict.Rising river levels have resulted in sandbagging efforts and road closures in virtually every state bordering the river. In Fort Calhoun, Neb., about 20 miles north of Omaha, a nuclear power plant declared an emergency and shut down. The Omaha Public Power District, which operates the plant, said it does not expect any release of radioactive material.Surging waters can also delay emergency efforts underway to repair the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway in Mississippi County, Mo., which was opened in May to mitigate surging Mississippi waters traveling downstream toward Memphis.Officials are uncertain how much the flooding along the Missouri River will deepen the waters of the Mississippi River.Obviously, with more water coming from the Missouri River,Maximuk notes,there will be more water in the Mississippi River.
Their combined flows could lead to more flooding in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois, where local waters levels are still elevated from similar flooding in May.
US May tornado damage up to $7 bn: estimate
– Mon Jun 6, 11:48 am ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Losses from the deadly burst of tornados that swept the US south and midwest late last month could hit as much as $7 billion, a company which estimates catastrophe damages said Monday.Insured losses from the massive twister that killed a record 138 people in Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, and 150 other tornados that struck during May 20-27, are likely to run $4-7 billion, AIR Worldwide estimated.The losses include residential, commercial, and industrial properties and their contents, and automobiles, Boston-based AIR said.The late May storms were only a part of the most deadly and damaging tornado season in the country in 75 years, leaving a swathe of destruction across several states and 523 dead.It is also becoming quickly apparent that 2011 will surpass 2008 in terms of insured losses from severe thunderstorm activity. Indeed, the two major outbreaks of this year -- the first in late April, the second in late May -- are the costliest on record, AIR's principal scientist Tim Doggett said in a statement.An outbreak of dozens of tornados killed 314 people in five states on April 27.Twenty states suffered damage in the late May storms, AIR said.Thousands of buildings were damaged, hundreds more were completely destroyed, and more than a thousand people were injured,it said.
Wall Street hits 2-1/2 month low on economic worry
By Chuck Mikolajczak – Mon Jun 6, 4:32 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The S&P 500 extended its slide to a fourth day on Monday, hitting its lowest level since March 18, as a spate of recent weak U.S. data lent support to a bearish outlook for the economy.Sectors most closely associated with economic fortunes took the biggest beating, with shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) off 4 percent to $10.83, the stock's lowest close since May 2009.As stocks have continued to fall, buying support has dried up, sending the S&P 500 through a series of technical support levels.The concern there deals with the weakening job market, capital requirements, quality of assets -- particularly with the double-dip in housing and flattening yield curve. All those things are working against financials and set a weaker tone for the market as a whole,said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama.Energy shares were also among the hardest-hit sectors, with the PHLX oil service sector index (.OSX) off 3.2 percent. Chevron Corp (CVX.N) dropped 1.3 percent to $9.68 as the biggest drag on the Dow.Oil fell in choppy trading on increased expectations OPEC will boost production targets this week as concerns about high prices curbing oil demand lingered.There has been concern that the driving season has peaked already as a result of the slowing economy, and that puts pressure on the refined products and concurrently on the crude products, said Hellwig.U.S. stocks have been battered over the past five weeks on a number of disappointing reports, culminating in Friday's U.S. employment report, which showed employers added a meager 54,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent.
With the second-quarter earnings season more than a month away, the market focused on the uncertain economic outlook.The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) dropped 61.15 points, or 0.50 percent, to 12,090.11. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) fell 13.99 points, or 1.08 percent, to 1,286.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) lost 30.22 points, or 1.11 percent, to 2,702.56.In a sign a slowing economy could hurt earnings, JP Morgan cut its rating on home improvement chain Lowes Cos Inc (LOW.N), citing softening home prices and stagnant job growth. The shares fell 2.3 percent to $22.87.Apple Inc (AAPL.O) dipped 1.6 percent to $338.04 after Chief Executive Steve Jobs appeared at the unveiling of a music-streaming service the company hopes will power its next stage of growth.An exchange-traded fund that tracks Peruvian stocks tumbled about twice its daily average volume after left-wing former army commander Ollanta Humala won the presidential election.The iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index Fund (EPU.P) fell about 13.8 percent to $37.53, while U.S.-traded shares of miner Compania de Minas Buenaventura (BUEv.LM) (BVN.N) dropped 15 percent to $35.75.Volume was light with about 6.8 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, below the daily average of 7.61 billion.Declining stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,394 to 618, while on the Nasdaq, decliners beat advancers 2,024 to 588.(Reporting by Chuck Mikolajczak; Editing by Kenneth Barry)
U.S. to hold meetings in heartland over Canada oil pipe By Timothy Gardner – JUN 6,11
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – As a proposed $7 billion pipeline to bring Canadian oil sands petroleum to refiners in Texas faces local opposition, the State Department will hold public meetings in five states the line would travel through before it decides whether the project can go forward.The State Department, which hopes to decide whether to grant TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL line a so-called presidential permit before the end of the year, said on Monday it would hold public meetings in Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas as well as a meeting in Washington, D.C.
The meetings would be held within 30 days after the department makes issues a final environmental impact statement on the line.These meetings will give the public an opportunity to voice their views on economic, energy security, environmental and safety issues, in addition to any other issues the public thinks should be taken into account in determining whether granting or denying the Presidential Permit would be in the national interest, the State Department said in a release.The Department was forced to issue a supplemental review of the 700,000 barrels per day pipeline in April after the Environmental Protection Agency complained an initial report did not adequately assess risks to water tables, output of greenhouse gases from production of oil sands petroleum, and alternative routes.Leaders in Nebraska and other states in the U.S. heartland have complained the proposed line would be built over the Ogallala Aquifer, a vast, but shallow water table farmers depend on to irrigate a large swath of U.S. crops.The opposition to the Keystone XL has intensified after two spills last month on the original line, known simply as the Keystone pipeline.The comment period on the State Department's supplemental review ended on Monday and a spokeswoman there said some 8,000 comments on the line were received.The oil consultant group IHS CERA submitted comments in the form of a report that said the pipeline would provide more flexibility to U.S. crude supplies and enable more domestic crude output in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Production of Bakken oil has spiked recently as drilling technologies have advanced.
One of the report's authors said the Keystone XL line could reduce fuel prices for Americans. If all things are equal, and you bring more crude to the Gulf Coast, more supply would mean a lower gasoline price, said Jackie Forrest, IHS CERA director of global oil.The report also said greenhouse gas emissions of imports from the Canadian oil sands, which is energy-intensive to produce, are about 6 percent higher than from the average crude oil consumed in the United States, a figure lower than estimates from the EPA.Supporters of the line, including many Republicans in Congress, have said it would lower fuel prices and provide jobs and that China would use the oil if the United States did not.U.S. agencies, including the Department of Energy and the EPA, will get a chance to comment for 90 days once the State Department finalizes its environmental review. If the agencies oppose the final review, they could force the final decision to be made by the White House

Israel: Protests show fight over state's existence
By JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press – Mon Jun 6, 3:02 pm ET
JERUSALEM – A second round of deadly clashes with Palestinian protesters trying to breach the border from Syria has made Israel's leadership even more skeptical about reaching peace with its Arab neighbors.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday angrily accused Syria's embattled president of orchestrating the protests to deflect attention from internal unrest. More broadly, Netanyahu said the Syrian-backed assault on Israel's borders was fueling a Palestinian challenge to the very existence of the Jewish state.The argument is over the fact of the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, he told reporters after a meeting of his Likud Party.
For the second time in a month, hundreds of unarmed protesters from Syria, many of them the descendants of Palestinian refugees from 1948, surged toward the frontier with the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Sunday and tried to burst through the border. Israeli forces kept the crowd from making it through, but 23 protesters were killed, according to Syrian officials. Those numbers were impossible to independently verify.In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Monday that the American administration was deeply troubled by the Syrian protests, which he said appeared to be an effort by the Syrian government to incite events and draw attention away from its own internal issue.Israel, like any sovereign nation, has a right to defend itself, he said.Three weeks earlier, hundreds of protesters successfully breached the border for several hours before they were rounded up and sent back to Syria. Four were reported killed.The protesters were not calling for a Palestinian state alongside Israel — the stated goal of peace talks. Instead, they demanded a return to the homes of ancestors who lost properties during Israel's war of independence six decades ago.
These repeated attempts to challenge Israel's borders have played into widespread Israeli fears that the Palestinians do not seek a state only in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war — but ultimately want to take over all of present-day Israel as well.The demand that has been raised over the last few days that descendants of Palestinian refugees return to the Jewish state is a demand that will kill the peace process, said Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev.Those who want to flood Israel with the descendants of Palestinian refugees want to destroy the Jewish state.The plight of Palestinian refugees is one of the most difficult and emotional issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians either fled or were driven from their homes during the 1948-49 Mideast war. Today, those refugees and their descendants number several million. The Palestinians claim these people have an inalienable right to return to lost properties.Israel rejects any large-scale return of refugees, saying it would destroy the country's Jewish character. It says refugees should be resettled in a future Palestinian state.
Israel has been shaken by the political turmoil sweeping the Middle East. Netanyahu has warned of Islamic militants gaining strength from the unrest, and Israelis are nervous about the prospect of a new Egyptian regime that might be more hostile to Israel, though the two nations have a peace treaty.The latest round of peace talks with the Palestinians broke down in September, just three weeks after their launch, over Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Palestinian's hoped-for capital.Azzam Ahmed, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the Palestinians remain committed to reaching peace with Israel.
We have been negotiating with Israel to establish an independent state on the 1967 borders and resolve the refugees issue in an agreed-upon solution, but Israel always declined and created huge obstacles by building settlements in the Palestinian territories, he said.He said the protests in Syria are not about undermining Israel. It's about individual rights for each one driven out of his home to return to his home.The protests have added to Netanyahu's skepticism toward the Palestinians. He has said it would be impossible to resume peace talks with Abbas if the Palestinian leader goes through with plans to form a unity government with the rival Hamas group. The Iranian-backed Hamas opposes peace with Israel.Israel has also criticized Palestinian plans to seek U.N. recognition of their independence in September, with or without a peace deal.Israeli defense officials believe the Syrian unrest could be a dry run for much wider protests in the West Bank and east Jerusalem after a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence in September. Israeli military officials acknowledge they are intensely preparing for September, though they have said little about how they will respond.On Monday, Syrian police blocked dozens of protesters from approaching the Israeli frontier, apparently fearing a repeat of the deadly clashes a day earlier.Syria gave no reason for the move, but could be wary of provoking Israel too much. While the two countries have not fought a war in nearly 40 years, Israel has occasionally struck targets inside Syria in response to perceived threats.Israeli leaders made it clear they held Syria responsible for the latest violence. It allowed these people to carry out provocations that challenged Israel's sovereignty,Netanyahu said.This is an attempt to divert international attention from events in Syria.Human rights groups say more than 1,200 people have died in Syria's crackdown on anti-government protesters since March.Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, predicted that Syrian President Bashar Assad's days in office were numbered, and said there was no point in pursuing peace with the teetering Syrian government.Israel has conducted several rounds of talks with Syria, most recently in 2008, but never reached an agreement.I think he will fall. He has lost his legitimacy,Barak told Israel Radio.Federman can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/joseffederman
Holiday of the Torah Begins Tuesday Night
by Hillel Fendel JUN 6,11
The Jewish holiday of Shavuot is set to begin Tuesday night – lasting for its one Biblical day (from sunset to the next sunset) in Israel, and two days in the rest of the world.Shavuot (Pentecost, Feast of Weeks), as well as Pesach (Passover) and Sukkot (Tabernacles), are the three pilgrimage festivals on which Jews are bidden to visit Jerusalem. Tens of thousands of people are in fact expected to arrive at the Western Wall throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, though the Biblical commandment to visit Jerusalem on these days applies fully only when the Holy Temple is built.The current custom of gathering at the Wall for the holiday began spontaneously on the Shavuot holiday of 1967 (5727), which followed the Six Day War and the liberation of Jerusalem by only a few days. Realizing that masses of people would descend upon the Wall and its narrow walkway, the authorities razed the old buildings within 100 meters from the Wall in order to make room. It was the first holiday in 1,900 years in which throngs of Jews congregated at the Western Wall.The holiday of Shavuot marks the Jewish People's receiving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai 3,323 years ago. It also marks the day after the 49-day Sefirat HaOmer counting period, which begins on the Passover holiday. The counting denotes the fact that the ultimate purpose of the Exodus from Egypt was for the Jewish People to receive the Torah and begin its national/spiritual existence as the People of the Book.
Features of the joyous Shavuot holiday include:
* remaining awake all night to study Torah; known as Tikkun Leil Shavuot.
* the bringing of the Bikurim (First Fruits) to the Holy Temple (temporarily suspended, until the Temple is rebuilt);
* the time of the wheat harvest;
* the public reading of the Book of Ruth for several reasons, among them: Ruth accepted Judaism as the Jews did on the holiday, the story takes place during the Shavuot season, and King David, her descendant, died on Shavuot.
* a wide-spread custom of eating dairy foods on Shavuot, as the Torah is compared to milk and honey under the tongue. (for more reasons, see our Shavuot dairy recipe)
In Israel, Shavuot is a legal holiday. There is no public transportation; schools, offices and most stores are closed; newspapers are not published. (Israel National News.com)
Shalit Supporters to Call: Block Money to Gaza
by Elad Benari JUN 7,11
A demonstration is expected to be held on Friday near Israel’s border with Gaza, during which protesters will call on the Israeli government to stop transferring funds to the Hamas leadership in Gaza.The demonstration is being organized by Orna Shimoni, a founder of the Four Mothers movement that helped bring about the IDF's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. She explained during an interview on Monday with Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website what led her to organize the protest.
Shimoni explained that the main purpose of her struggle is to stop the transfer of funds into Gaza, since these funds enable the Hamas leadership to purchase weapons that can then be used against Israelis. She noted that in the past, these weapons were purchased and smuggled into the Strip through the underground tunnels, but that today it is much easier for Hamas to bring the weapons into Gaza openly (through the recently reopened Rafiah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt).She reminded that every month, Israel allows for the entry of $13.5 million into the Gaza Strip, and that the money comes out of accounts belonging to the Bank of Israel.Eighty percent of the dollars transferred to Gaza are used to smuggle weapons which then return to us in the form of missiles fired at buses and towns, and twenty percent of the funds are used to pay the wages for Hamas leaders, including the captors of Gilad Shalit, said Shimoni, adding that no one disputes these figures. At least until the day Gilad Shalit is released, we should not transfer money to Gaza through the State of Israel.She said she does not accept the official claim that the money, which sometimes comes from countries belonging to the European Union and sometimes comes from the Palestinian Authority itself, belongs to the PA Arab residents of Gaza. She added that she sees this as a matter of principle, just as Israel would not enable the transfer of money to a Nazi organization or to the Hizbullah terror group. She emphasized that the funds are not intended to benefit local residents and that the residents do not see any of the money. The money goes to the Hamas leadership in Gaza and is streamlined towards salaries and weapons, and we must stop this money from going through, even if we are only used as a pipeline.Shimoni said that the original idea was to hold the demonstration in front of the home of Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer, as he is the one responsible for transfers of funds from the Bank of Israel. She added, however, that the plan was dropped at the request of Gilad’s father, Noam Shalit, who believes that the focus of the pressure to release his son should be the decision-makers, i.e. the Prime Minister, government ministers, and other members of Knesset. As such, the location of the protest was changed, though she said she herself believes Fischer, as the one who pressured Israel to transfer the funds to Gaza, should also stand up to public pressure to cancel the move.
Shimoni noted that she believes the motive behind Fishcher’s move may have been his longtime friendship with PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. The two had met when both had worked for the World Bank. She also brought up the possibility that Fischer wanted to please the European Union and the World Bank and for this reason decided to push for money to be transferred to Hamas. She said, however, that despite her deep appreciation for Fischer, his move cannot be accepted when it leads to attacks on Israel’s security.According to Shimoni, if Hamas knows that Israel is serious and would actually stop the transfer of funds, it will be frightened and will drop the price it is requesting for Shalit’s release.Without the money, there is no Hamas, she said, adding that during Friday’s demonstration she plans to bring up the issue in public and thus interrupt the silence over the transfer of funds to Gaza.Meanwhile, Shalit’s parents were in France Monday to file a lawsuit in a Paris court regarding their son being held hostage. They say he may have suffered acts of torture or of barbarism.Shalit is a French citizen and the legal action is intended to put more pressure on the French government to work for his release.Last week, French first lady Carla Bruni responded to a personal letter from Sara Netanyahu on the subject of Shalit, with a note of her own in which she said that France was sparing no effort in its attempts to mediate Shalit’s release.Like you, I wish with all my heart that this episode will be over soon, Bruni wrote.
The issue of the price that Israel should pay for Shalit’s release has been one of controversy in the country. Hamas has demanded that Israel release thousands of Arab prisoners being held in Israeli prisons, some of whom were involved in deadly suicide terror attacks and are behind the deaths of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians.Some groups, mostly from the left, are saying Israel should pay any price for Shalit, including releasing potentially dangerous terrorists. Those who oppose such deals are saying that Israel cannot release prisoners who are likely to go back to terror, and thus endanger the lives of hundreds of more Israelis.Click here to view one such debate, which took place this week between Meir Indor of the Almagor Terror Victims Association and Shimshon Liebman, Chairman of the Gilad Shalit Action Committee.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Clinton meets Israeli, Palestinian peace envoys
By Andrew Quinn – Mon Jun 6, 7:19 pm ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held separate meetings with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators on Monday as the United States seeks to find a way to revive moribund peace talks.Clinton also met visiting French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe -- who launched a separate bid to start talks -- but said it was too early to consider a proposed Paris conference because neither side appeared willing to talk despite a looming September showdown over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations.We strongly support a return to negotiations, but we do not think that it would be productive for there to be a conference about returning to negotiations, Clinton told reporters.There has to be a return to negotiations, which will take a lot of persuasion and preliminary work in order to set up a productive meeting between the parties, she said, adding that Washington was in a wait-and-see attitude.Clinton's meetings with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and his Israeli counterpart Yitzhak Molcho came amid mounting concern over the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, which remains deadlocked despite the wave of political change sweeping the Arab world.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he intends to seek U.N. recognition of Palestinian statehood at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in September -- a move which both Israel and the United States say will only inflame tensions.Juppe said his offer last week to host talks between the two sides in Paris was based on concerns that that situation could spin out of control if September arrives and no peace talks are under way.We have the feeling if nothing happens before September, the situation will be very difficult for everybody,he told reporters.
FALTERING EFFORT
President Barack Obama presided over the resumption of direct peace talks between the two sides in September, but the effort collapsed almost immediately over Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank.Obama has said he believed it was possible to get a framework deal for peace within a year, and last month sought to accelerate the momentum by proposing that the two sides discuss terms based on the borders that existed in before the 1967 war in which Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, along with agreed territorial swaps.But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads a coalition dominated by pro-settler parties, swiftly rejected the plan as unworkable.The faltering effort has been further strained by a recent Palestinian political unity deal between President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and the rival Islamist Hamas, which controls Gaza and remains sworn to Israel's destruction.While the Palestinians say the planned unity government will be technocratic with no direct role for Hamas, both Israeli and U.S. leaders have said peace talks are not possible unless Hamas explicitly recognizes Israel's right to exist and renounces violence.
Clinton said on Tuesday those concerns remained.
It is not enough for us that it would be called technocratic, she said.If Hamas is involved we think that undermines the whole purpose of negotiations because we would have a party that rejects Israel's right to exist.Erekat, speaking after his meeting with Clinton, said he had sought to address U.S. concerns over Hamas -- but repeated that Palestinians must achieve political reconciliation if they are to meet their goal of forming an independent state.This is not a power-sharing government, Erekat said.This will be a government for elections, and reconstruction of Gaza, and a government that runs Abbas' program,he said.He said the Palestinians remained firm in their intention to seek U.N. recognition, and warned that failure to move toward statehood could throw a question mark over the future viability of Abbas' Palestinian Authority.(Editing by Eric Walsh)

Russia and EU clash on trade ahead of summit
ANDREW RETTMAN 06.06.2011 @ 08:15 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has made fun of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the EU ambassador in Moscow in the run-up to an EU-Russia summit.Using his trademark colourful language, Putin told press in Sochi on Friday (3 June) that he will not lift Russia's E-Coli-related import ban on EU vegetables.The EU says Russia's decision contradicts the spirit of the WTO, but we can't poison people because of some spirit, he said, according to newswires.I openly admit I don't know what spirit is being contradicted ... But when people are dying from eating cucumbers, then something stinks.Putin's remarks came after the EU ambassador in Moscow, Fernando Valenzuela, protested that the blanket ban goes against the code of the Geneva-based free trade club.As the intention of Russia, which we support fully, is to join the WTO, possibly this year ... Russia should voluntarily be already implementing these rules in full, the EU envoy told reporters in Moscow on Thursday.The disagreement comes a few days before EU and Russian officials sit down in Nizhny Novgorod on 9 June to discuss prospects of Russia's WTO entry.An EU official told this website that EU-Russia talks are in the endgame phase, but that concerns remain over protectionism in some sectors.
The vegetable ban is set to help domestic Russian farmers - Russia imports 11 percent of its tomatoes from the EU and five percent of cucumbers.Lebanon is the only other country to react with a total blockade. The EU envoy in Beirut, Angelina Eickhorst, said on Saturday the vegetable ban is scientifically unjustified and violates a 2006 EU-Lebanon agreement.German scientists over the weekend continued to hunt for the source of the E Coli outbreak, with the likeliest suspect being bean sprouts in Lower Saxony.The World Health Organisation (WHO) says over 20 people have died and 2,000 have been infected since early May.Cases - relating to people who travelled to Germany - have also occurred in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. The epidemic has mostly affected women.The Escherichia coli (E Coli) bacterium lives in the gut of warm-blooded animals. It can cause bloody diarrhoea, cramps, fever and vomiting. Some patients develop haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a potentially fatal kidney condition.EU health ministers will discuss the situation at a meeting in Luxembourg on Monday.
EU to monitor anti-corruption measures in member states VALENTINA POP 06.06.2011 @ 17:42 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A special report on what EU member states are doing to fight corruption and how cases are actually solved is to be drafted by the European Commission every two years, home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom has announced.No country in the EU is totally free from corruption. Four out of five EU citizens regard corruption as a major problem in their country. This is a serious challenge, socially, politically and economically,she said during a press conference on Monday (6 June).The new mechanism, which will provide non-binding evaluations and recommendations of the countries' actual anti-corruption practices, not only adopted laws and norms - is seen as a pressure tool on politicians to live up to their transparency and clean government pledges.With an estimated €120 billion lost to corruption every year - the equivalent of the entire EU budget - Malmstrom pointed out that showing resolve on enforcing anti-corruption measures has also a positive impact on the economy and helps regain confidence on the financial markets.
Corrupt practices, dodgy book-keeping and outright lying about the country's finances already have forced Greece, Latvia and Hungary to seen external financial aid. But bringing high level politicians to court and having them put behind bars for corruption is still a rare phenomenon throughout the bloc, and not just in EU's newest members, Bulgaria and Romania, who both are under a special EU monitoring in this regard.While most countries have all the international and EU laws in place on fighting corruption, one of the main challenges is the lack of commitment in enforcing zero tolerance for corruption, Malmstrom noted.To what extent a non-binding, bi-annual report will help governments clean up their act, remains to be seen, but the Swedish-born commissioner kept confident that the perspective of naming and shaming will spur governments to clean up their act.The first report is set to be published in 2013 and is likely to be structured on a theme - for instance public procurement in all 27 member states.The purpose is not to rank member states, but the information will be there, who is doing what, what are the best practices and the gaps,the commissioner explained.EUobserver understands that this was a compromise to get the mechanism approved, with commissioners from big member states reluctant to endorse a ranking or a comprehensive report on the state of corruption in each member state.What Malmstrom did succeed, however, is to base the report not solely on information stemming from national governments, but also from NGOs and independent advisers.
In addition, a so-called network of anti-corruption correspondents is to be set up throughout the EU and feed the commission with real-time information on high-level corruption cases, on judicial follow-up, on bribes and dodgy contracts involving EU and national funds alike, mostly drawn from what the media reports in a given country.It's very good news that for the first time, the commission will be looking at anti-corruption measures in all member states, Romanian centre-right MEP Monica Macovei, herself an anti-graft campaigner, told this website.Existing mechanisms, such as the Council of Europe's group of states against corruption (Greco) only looks at legislation and bases its reports on what governments answer to their questionnaires.Greece, Romania, they are all great at adopting laws. But the problem is to implement them, Macovei says.Her British colleague from the Liberal group, Sarah Ludford, also welcomed this mechanism because it will at least open the discussion about EU corruption, which has long been the elephant in the room.Serious action to root out both corruption and its twin major threat to the EU, organised crime, is long overdue. For far too long, even the UK failed to visibly tackle bribery,the British MEP said in a press release.To Austrian independent MEP Martin Ehrenhauser, his home country is no A student either.Having a report on anti-corruption measures is a first step in the right direction. But it is questionable if big member states will allow critical reports,he said.
As with any piece of draft legislation or monitoring report, the EU corruption report will have to be adopted by unanimity in the college of commissioners. In theory, commissioners are not there to represent national interests, but in practice, capitals still have an important leverage on the final texts through their respective commissioners.As long as it's non-binding for us, we're fine with it. Corruption is bad, everyone wants to fight it,one EU diplomat told this website.The main NGO dealing with corruption perception in the public and private sectors, Transparency International, also stressed that this mechanism alone will not solve the problem. With the various indicators and assessment criteria still to be defined, TI urges the commission to make them fast and flexible enough so as to reflect the country-specific areas particularly prone to corruption and to publicly encourage compliance by outlining corruption risks, trends and possible weaknesses.

IAEA turns up heat on Syria, Iran
by Simon Morgan – Mon Jun 6, 12:51 pm ET
VIENNA (AFP) – UN atomic watchdog chief Yukiya Amano turned up the heat on Syria and Iran -- both accused of illicit nuclear activity -- as the body's policy-making board of governors began meeting here Monday.Tehran and Damascus are both accused of actively blocking the International Atomic Energy Agency's long-running investigations into illegal nuclear activity.At the end of May, Amano released two new reports in which he said Iran was continuing to stockpile low-enriched uranium, in defiance of multiple UN sanctions, and refusing to answer allegations of possible military dimensions to its contested nuclear programme.Syria, for its part, is accused of building an undeclared atomic reactor at a remote desert site and has not allowed UN inspectors access to locations, data or individuals who could help clear up the allegations.Addressing the IAEA's governors on the first day of their traditional week-long June meeting, Amano defended his decision to go public with his assessment that a suspect site in Syria was very likely to have been an undeclared nuclear reactor, as alleged by the United States.
The Syrian government was given ample time by the agency to cooperate fully concerning the Dair Alzour site, but did not do so,Amano said, according to a copy of his speech circulated to journalists.Nevertheless, we had obtained enough information to draw a conclusion. I judged it appropriate to inform member states of our conclusion at this stage as it was in no one's interest to let this situation drag on indefinitely, Amano said.Damascus has always insisted that Dair Alzour was a non-nuclear military installation, but has provided no evidence to back that up. Furthermore, it has repeatedly denied the IAEA access to the site to clear up the allegations for itself.I am confident about our conclusion and I look forward to engaging further with Syria to resolve related outstanding issues, Amano said.He told a news conference later that, a couple of days after his report, Syria wrote to the IAEA promising full cooperation and that officials from both sides had since met for talks.But expressing an intention is not good enough. We would like to see concrete results, Amano said.Syria had still not provided any concrete indication as to what form its full cooperation would take. Nevertheless, the two sides had agreed to meet again following the end of the June session of the board of governors, Amano continued.The US and its Western allies are expected to propose a resolution at the board meeting to find Damascus in non-compliance with its international obligations and report it to the UN Security Council in New York.Western diplomats believe there is sufficient support on the 35-member board for the resolution to be passed, although it would be naive to expect it to be carried unanimously, a number of them said.
Asked if a resolution would jeopardise Damascus's willingness to cooperate, Amano replied: Whether to report it to Security Council or not is the matter of member states, I'm not involved in that.But even if Damascus were to be reported to New York,I don't think it changes my work. What is needed... is that Syria is prepared to cooperate with us and I'm looking forward to work with them whatever happens.The last time a member state was reported to the UN Security Council was Iran in February 2006 and the IAEA is still no closer than it was then to establishing whether the Islamic republic's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful, as Tehran maintains.Turning to the IAEA's long-running Iran investigation, Amano said the watchdog has received further information related to possible past or current undisclosed nuclear-related activities that seem to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme.The IAEA has long been pressing Tehran to answer the allegations. But Iran has merely dismissed the evidence backing up the allegations as fabricated and baseless, and refused to discuss the matter further.
New data suggests Iran military link: U.N. atom chief
By Fredrik Dahl and Sylvia Westall – Mon Jun 6, 10:47 am ET
VIENNA (Reuters) – Iran seems to have carried out nuclear-related work with possible military links until recently, the U.N. atomic watchdog chief said on Monday, citing new information adding to concerns about Tehran's activities.Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made clear in a speech to the IAEA's 35-nation governing board his growing frustration at the Islamic state's failure to answer agency queries about its nuclear program.His remarks are likely to be welcomed by Western powers as a sign that he is gradually ratcheting up the pressure on Iran.The United States and its allies accuse Iran of seeking to develop an atomic weapons capability. Iran rejects the accusation, saying its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity so that it can export more of its oil and gas.For several years, the IAEA has been investigating Western intelligence reports indicating Iran has coordinated efforts to process uranium, test explosives at high altitude and revamp a ballistic missile cone so it can take a nuclear warhead.
Western diplomats believe Amano is in effect warning Tehran to cooperate or face a possible assessment by the IAEA on the likelihood it has conducted nuclear activity with possible military aspects.Such an assessment could lend weight to any renewed Western push to tighten sanctions on the major oil producer.Amano said the U.N. agency had received further information related to possible past or current undisclosed nuclear-related activities that seem to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program.He later told a news conference, without disclosing the source of the information: The activities in Iran related to the possible military dimension seem to have been continued until quite recently.
LETTER DIPLOMACY
Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment, activity which can have both civilian and military uses, has drawn four rounds of U.N. sanctions since 2006.The Japanese IAEA chief has taken a blunter approach than his predecessor Mohamed ElBaradei toward the Islamic state.Amano said he had written last month to the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani,reiterating the agency's concerns about the existence of possible military dimensions.He had also asked for Iran to provide prompt access to locations, equipment, documentation and officials to help resolve the agency's queries.Amano made clear that Iran's response had not been satisfactory, saying he had sent a new letter to Abbasi-Davani on June 3 in which I reiterated the agency's requests to Iran.In his May 26 letter to Amano, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters on Friday, Abbasi-Davani reiterated Iran's position that the allegations were fabricated, and said U.N. sanctions resolutions against the country were illegal and unacceptable.The IAEA, tasked with ensuring that nuclear technology is not diverted for military aims, says Iran has not engaged with the agency in substance on the issue of possible military aspects to Iran's nuclear program since mid-2008.Iran was not providing the necessary cooperation to enable the agency to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, Amano said.I urge Iran to take steps toward the full implementation of all relevant obligations in order to establish international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program,he said.

Latest developments in Arab world's unrest
By The Associated Press – Mon Jun 6, 3:55 pm ET
SYRIA-Armed men attack Syrian security forces in a tense northern city, state television says, and 120 policemen and security forces are killed in a region where the army has carried out days of deadly assaults on protesters calling for the end of President Bashar Assad's rule. Communications are cut to the area around Jisr al-Shughour, and the details of the attack were impossible to verify, but there have been unconfirmed reports in the past by residents and activists of Syrians fighting back against security forces. The government promises a decisive response, setting the stage for an even stronger government crackdown against a popular uprising that began in mid-March.
YEMEN-With the wounded president out of Yemen, the United States and Saudi Arabia scramble to arrange a power transfer ensuring an end to his decades-long rule. But a top official says President Ali Abdullah Saleh, recovering in Saudi Arabia, would return home within days, a step almost certain to spark new, intensified fighting between his forces and opposition tribesmen determined to topple him. Both sides' fighters are deployed in the streets of the capital, and a cease-fire brokered by Saudi Arabia only a day earlier is already starting to fray, with clashes killing at least six.
LIBYA-Libya's rebels have arbitrarily detained dozens of civilians suspected of supporting ruler Moammar Gadhafi and at least one has died after apparently being tortured while in custody, Human Rights Watch says. Since the uprising started in mid-February, rebels have seized control of much of the country's east and scrambled to set up an administration in their de facto capital of Benghazi. Rebels also hold the western city of Misrata and smaller towns in the western mountains. Both sides have taken prisoners in the fighting. NATO intensifies its airstrikes in and around the capital of Tripoli, targeting military installations and a government building.
EGYPT-Crowds of Egyptians dressed in black hold demonstrations to honor a young man from Alexandria beaten to death a year ago in a savage attack blamed on police that helped inspire the uprising that brought down Egypt's president. Photographs of Khaled Said's badly disfigured and bloodied face were posted on the Internet and became an instant rallying point for campaigners trying to bring attention to rampant police brutality under the regime of Hosni Mubarak. A Facebook page in his honor called We are all Khaled Said was used months later to call for the protests that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11. On Monday's anniversary of his death, crowds held protests in Cairo and Alexandria to remember him and draw attention to continued abuses by Egyptian police.
BAHRAIN-Dozens of doctors and nurses who treated injured anti-government protesters during the months of unrest in Bahrain go on trial in a security court on allegations they participated in efforts to overthrow the Gulf country's monarchy. The prosecution of 47 health professionals is a sign that Bahrain's Sunni rulers will not end their relentless pursuit of the Shiite-led opposition despite officially lifting emergency rule last week. The medical workers are charged with participating in efforts to topple Bahrain's Sunni monarchy and taking part in illegal rallies.
Iranian Lawmakers Tour Lebanon-Israel Border
by Gil Ronen JUN 6,11
Lebanon prevented rioters from coming near Israel’s border on Naksa Day Sunday, but allowed an Iranian parliamentary delegation to tour the Lebanese-Israeli border.
The delegation was led by Ghulam Ali Hadad Adel, a member of the Iranian Majlis (parliament), who is also an adviser to Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini, and is married to Khameini’s daughter.Accompanied by Iran’s Beirut ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi, the delegation visited the town of Maroun a-Ras, where heavy fighting took place between Hizbullah and the IDF in the 2006 Lebanon War. Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also made a point of visiting the town on his Lebanese tour last year.Adel waved the PLO flag and gave a speech expressing his appreciation and admiration for the martyrs and the Palestinian nation for their determination to return to their homes and land.Iran, he said, would continue to support the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine – a reference to Hizbullah and Hamas. Ambassador Roknabadi said that the Palestinian nation is determined to achieve its rights in any way and by any means, after it turned out that the United Nations Security Council cannot implement its resolutions on refugees.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Syria to send in army after 120 troops killed
By Mariam Karouny – Mon Jun 6, 7:00 pm ET
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian forces fought gunmen in battles that left more than 120 members of the security forces dead, state television said in the first report of large-scale armed clashes in the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad.The television said on Monday armed groups set government buildings ablaze in the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour, stole five tonnes of dynamite and were firing at civilians and security forces with machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades.The security forces have managed to end a blockade of one of the neighborhoods that was seized by the gunmen for awhile and are now battling them to end the blockade of the other neighborhoods, the television said.The gunmen mutilated some of the bodies and threw some into the river. The people in Jisr al-Shughour are urging the army to intervene speedily,it said.Opposition activists earlier said a security operation had been under way in the town since Saturday in which they said at least 37 residents and 10 police had been killed.But it was impossible to verify the conflicting accounts of the violence from activists and officials as authorities have prevented most international media from operating in Syria.Interior Minister Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar said authorities would respond firmly to armed attacks and Information Minister Adnan Mahmoud said the army, which has so far stayed out of the town, will carry out their national duty to restore security.Rights groups say 1,000 civilians have been killed in the protests which have swept from the southern city of Deraa to the Mediterranean coast and eastern Kurdish regions.
ARMED REBELLION
But the ferocity of the crackdown could increase further if the government comes up against an armed insurrection.Syrian forces crushed an armed Islamist uprising in the city of Hama in 1982 on the orders of Bashar's father, President Hafez al-Assad, killing up to 30,000 people.An activist told Reuters that police and members of the security forces in Jisr al-Shughour were killed by gunmen.Some people in some areas have taken up arms, he said.The situation is grave, what is happening is an armed rebellion. I oppose violence from whatever side it comes from.Residents said violence erupted in Jisr al-Shughour on Saturday when snipers on the roof of the main post office fired at a funeral for six protesters killed the day before.Angry mourners set fire to the post office, a history teacher in the town called Ahmad said. State television said eight members of the security forces were killed when armed gunmen attacked the post office building.It said at least 20 security force members were killed in an ambush by armed gangs, and 82 were killed in an attack on a security post. It said the overall death toll for security forces was more than 120.A rebellion in Jisr al-Shughour was crushed by Bashar's father in 1980 with scores of deaths.Assad has sent in tanks to crush demonstrations in certain flashpoints.He also has made some reformist gestures, such as issuing a general amnesty to political prisoners and launching national dialogue, but protesters and opposition figures have dismissed such measures.(Additional reporting by Dominic Evans; Editing by Jon Hemming)

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.

Ongoing rains worsen record-breaking floods along Missouri River The Christian Science Monitor By Mark Guarino – JUNE 6,11
Chicago – Heavy flooding along the Missouri River will last throughout the summer, predict federal officials. The surging waters, created by unprecedented weather conditions, have already caused levee failures, and more are expected to come.The Missouri River and its tributaries in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota are swelling with water. A confluence of factors are driving the rising waters, notably the record heavy snowfall earlier this year in the Rocky Mountain region. Snow accumulation was 140 percent above normal, says Lynn Maximuk, director of the National Weather Service in the central region.We do have quite an unusual set of circumstances, meteorologically,Mr. Maximuk told reporters Monday afternoon.
The unusually heavy snows – combined with ongoing heavy rains, expected to continue all summer – will create a total runoff of some 55 million acre-feet of water, according to projections from the US Army Corps of Engineers. (An acre-foot of water is the equivalent of one foot of water covering one acre of land.)That’s the highest runoff level since they began keeping records in 1898.The immediate danger this week comes from heavy storms, expected to move south along the river valley. Meteorologists predict that 2 inches of rain in Montana and North Dakota and up to 3 inches of rain in Omaha, Neb., will fall over the next few days, Maximuk says.May was the second-wettest month for northern Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota since 1889.To relieve pressure on the river, the Corps plans to release 150,000 cubic feet per second of water at the Oahe Dam above Pierre, S.D., on Tuesday. The other dams will be opened in succession, remaining open through mid-August.Kevin Grode, a Missouri Basin reservoir regulation team leader with the Corps, says the amount of water released may increase, depending on the changing climate.We are going to be testing the system, he stresses,because we’ll be releasing more water than has ever been released before.Local officials in some states are criticizing the Corps for not opening the dams earlier, which Mr. Grode challenges. Conditions in the basin were not as extreme as they are now,he says.We did not see a great need.Water is already surging at all six of the dams along the river, breaking records at each one. According to Grode, runoff waters are highest at Gavins Point, located near Yankton, S.D. The flow there reached 10.5 million acre-feet, breaking a previous record of 7.2 acre-feet, set in 1995.
While Grode says the dams are all very safe, the levee system is more vulnerable – and will likely be stressed throughout the year, he warns. Tributary systems that feed into the Missouri River are also expected to flood.A levee breach near Hamburg, Iowa, on Sunday resulted in a mandatory evacuation of residents. Corps officials have not yet determined what caused the breach. The National Guard dropped 22 thousand-pound sandbags on the levee, as an emergency measure to keep the water from flowing through the breach. Flooding will stretch two miles inland, officials predict.Rising river levels have resulted in sandbagging efforts and road closures in virtually every state bordering the river. In Fort Calhoun, Neb., about 20 miles north of Omaha, a nuclear power plant declared an emergency and shut down. The Omaha Public Power District, which operates the plant, said it does not expect any release of radioactive material.Surging waters can also delay emergency efforts underway to repair the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway in Mississippi County, Mo., which was opened in May to mitigate surging Mississippi waters traveling downstream toward Memphis.Officials are uncertain how much the flooding along the Missouri River will deepen the waters of the Mississippi River.Obviously, with more water coming from the Missouri River,Maximuk notes,there will be more water in the Mississippi River.
Their combined flows could lead to more flooding in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois, where local waters levels are still elevated from similar flooding in May.
US May tornado damage up to $7 bn: estimate
– Mon Jun 6, 11:48 am ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Losses from the deadly burst of tornados that swept the US south and midwest late last month could hit as much as $7 billion, a company which estimates catastrophe damages said Monday.Insured losses from the massive twister that killed a record 138 people in Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, and 150 other tornados that struck during May 20-27, are likely to run $4-7 billion, AIR Worldwide estimated.The losses include residential, commercial, and industrial properties and their contents, and automobiles, Boston-based AIR said.The late May storms were only a part of the most deadly and damaging tornado season in the country in 75 years, leaving a swathe of destruction across several states and 523 dead.It is also becoming quickly apparent that 2011 will surpass 2008 in terms of insured losses from severe thunderstorm activity. Indeed, the two major outbreaks of this year -- the first in late April, the second in late May -- are the costliest on record, AIR's principal scientist Tim Doggett said in a statement.An outbreak of dozens of tornados killed 314 people in five states on April 27.Twenty states suffered damage in the late May storms, AIR said.Thousands of buildings were damaged, hundreds more were completely destroyed, and more than a thousand people were injured,it said.
Wall Street hits 2-1/2 month low on economic worry
By Chuck Mikolajczak – Mon Jun 6, 4:32 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The S&P 500 extended its slide to a fourth day on Monday, hitting its lowest level since March 18, as a spate of recent weak U.S. data lent support to a bearish outlook for the economy.Sectors most closely associated with economic fortunes took the biggest beating, with shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) off 4 percent to $10.83, the stock's lowest close since May 2009.As stocks have continued to fall, buying support has dried up, sending the S&P 500 through a series of technical support levels.The concern there deals with the weakening job market, capital requirements, quality of assets -- particularly with the double-dip in housing and flattening yield curve. All those things are working against financials and set a weaker tone for the market as a whole,said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama.Energy shares were also among the hardest-hit sectors, with the PHLX oil service sector index (.OSX) off 3.2 percent. Chevron Corp (CVX.N) dropped 1.3 percent to $9.68 as the biggest drag on the Dow.Oil fell in choppy trading on increased expectations OPEC will boost production targets this week as concerns about high prices curbing oil demand lingered.There has been concern that the driving season has peaked already as a result of the slowing economy, and that puts pressure on the refined products and concurrently on the crude products, said Hellwig.U.S. stocks have been battered over the past five weeks on a number of disappointing reports, culminating in Friday's U.S. employment report, which showed employers added a meager 54,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent.

U.S. to hold meetings in heartland over Canada oil pipe By Timothy Gardner – JUN 6,11
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – As a proposed $7 billion pipeline to bring Canadian oil sands petroleum to refiners in Texas faces local opposition, the State Department will hold public meetings in five states the line would travel through before it decides whether the project can go forward.The State Department, which hopes to decide whether to grant TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL line a so-called presidential permit before the end of the year, said on Monday it would hold public meetings in Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas as well as a meeting in Washington, D.C.
The meetings would be held within 30 days after the department makes issues a final environmental impact statement on the line.These meetings will give the public an opportunity to voice their views on economic, energy security, environmental and safety issues, in addition to any other issues the public thinks should be taken into account in determining whether granting or denying the Presidential Permit would be in the national interest, the State Department said in a release.The Department was forced to issue a supplemental review of the 700,000 barrels per day pipeline in April after the Environmental Protection Agency complained an initial report did not adequately assess risks to water tables, output of greenhouse gases from production of oil sands petroleum, and alternative routes.Leaders in Nebraska and other states in the U.S. heartland have complained the proposed line would be built over the Ogallala Aquifer, a vast, but shallow water table farmers depend on to irrigate a large swath of U.S. crops.The opposition to the Keystone XL has intensified after two spills last month on the original line, known simply as the Keystone pipeline.The comment period on the State Department's supplemental review ended on Monday and a spokeswoman there said some 8,000 comments on the line were received.The oil consultant group IHS CERA submitted comments in the form of a report that said the pipeline would provide more flexibility to U.S. crude supplies and enable more domestic crude output in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Production of Bakken oil has spiked recently as drilling technologies have advanced.
One of the report's authors said the Keystone XL line could reduce fuel prices for Americans. If all things are equal, and you bring more crude to the Gulf Coast, more supply would mean a lower gasoline price, said Jackie Forrest, IHS CERA director of global oil.The report also said greenhouse gas emissions of imports from the Canadian oil sands, which is energy-intensive to produce, are about 6 percent higher than from the average crude oil consumed in the United States, a figure lower than estimates from the EPA.Supporters of the line, including many Republicans in Congress, have said it would lower fuel prices and provide jobs and that China would use the oil if the United States did not.U.S. agencies, including the Department of Energy and the EPA, will get a chance to comment for 90 days once the State Department finalizes its environmental review. If the agencies oppose the final review, they could force the final decision to be made by the White House
