EU leaders nominate Juncker for EU commission presidency
Today @ 16:37-JUNE 27,14-By EUOBSERVER


EU leaders Friday nominated Jean-Claude Juncker to be the next EU commission president, despite strong opposition from the UK. "Decision made. The European Council proposes Jean-Claude Juncker as the next President of the European Commission," EU council president Herman Van Rompuy tweeted. Juncker must also be elected by the EP.

Juncker chosen for EU commission job, Cameron defeated
27.06.14 @ 17:15-By Honor Mahony-EUOBSERVER


BRUSSELS - EU leaders on Friday (27 June) nominated Jean-Claude Juncker to be European Commission president, simultaneously doling out a major diplomatic defeat for London and handing a large chunk of power to the European Parliament."Decision made. The European Council proposes Jean-Claude Juncker as the next President of the European Commission," EU council president Herman Van Rompuy tweeted during the meeting.The decision was taken by a vote – a first for an EU summit – after British PM David Cameron led a strong campaign against the Luxembourger, opposing both the way the 59-year-old came to be nominated, as well as the man – who he has called the "ultimate Brussels insider" – himself.The nature of Cameron's pre-summit rhetoric and his refusal to take some kind of trade-off for the UK in return for accepting Juncker saw EU leaders have a show of hands on the issue.Only Hungary's Viktor Orban joined Cameron in voting no.The decision represents a diplomatic defeat for Cameron – who started the campaign convinced he would win – but also a new shift in the balance of power in the EU capital, to the European Parliament's gain.Juncker's appointment came on the back of a novel process pushed through by MEPs in which they insisted the lead candidate of the party winning the May EU vote – in this case Juncker for the centre-right EPP – should be nominated for the commission presidency by EU leaders.Grumbling that MEPs were taking an over-expansive interpretation of the treaty, EU leaders went half-heartedly along with the idea.However, they were soon overtaken by events on the ground as the various Spitzenkandidaten started taking part in TV debates and touring member states as commission candidates.For a while it looked like German chancellor Angela Merkel – not a huge fan of Juncker – would stop the process, but a backlash by domestic press saw her reiterate her support.The Luxembourger and former head of the eurogroup, who has maintained a media blackout over recent weeks, still has to be elected into office by a majority in the EP (376 out of 751 MEPs), with the vote to take place on 16 July.EU leaders are then to meet later that same day to decide on the post of EU foreign policy chief and EU Council president.If Juncker makes it through parliament, it will represent the first time in EU history that the commission president has not been chosen by EU leaders.It would also likely strengthen the Spitzenkandidate process for 2019, the next EU vote.While campaigning for the post Juncker admitted that few voters would know his name and suggested that the next time round, political groups would have to choose their candidates around two years ahead, instead of just a few months before ballot day.Meanwhile, Socialist MEP Richard Corbett, recently remarked that the process' first outing had showed political groups that they should choose better quality candidates next time round, with few convinced that Juncker is the best person for the job.Cameron, for his part, told his counterparts they "could live to regret the new process for choosing the commission president".

EU leaders to review 'Spitzenkandidat' process
Today @ 19:08-JUNE 27,14-EUOBSERVER-By Honor Mahony


BRUSSELS - EU leaders have said they plan to review the way they choose EU commission presidents in the future after having found themselves left with little room for manoeuvre following a parliament-pushed process.Shortly after nominating Jean-Claude Juncker to be head of the EU executive, leaders agreed conclusions indicating they want to derail the Spitzenkandidat system."Once the new European Commission is effectively in place the European Council will consider the process for the appointment of the president of the European Commission for the future, respecting the European treaties," the statement says.Under the Spitzenkandidat system, used for the first time this year, the top candidate of the most popular party after the EU vote - in this case Juncker of the centre-right EPP - is nominated for the post.It represents a stretching of the wording in the EU treaty, which only binds EU leaders to take election results into account.However, leaders are also aware that they contributed to this being the first EU summit where they had no free hand to choose a commission president.They went along with the process of political parties nominating candidates only to see it taking off and becoming more cemented as the various candidates attended debates and toured member states, while presenting themselves as running for office.This meant that Juncker was nominated although leaders had privately expressed concern about whether he is the right person for the job.EU Council president Herman Van Rompuy, himself an opponent of the system, acknowledged this dilemma after the summit."Most of the leaders belonged to European parties and they were involved in the process of appointing future candidates for the European Commission. So we have to take this into account. And this was also reflected in the discussions," he said.But he added: "Is everybody happy with the procedure? That is something else."British PM David Cameron, who led a strong campaign against Juncker, said "this process developed a momentum of its own. We need to ask ourselves how this happened."He added that the dynamics of the system means it is "impossible" to choose a sitting head of state, "we have to wait for someone who has retired".German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who from the outset was against the new system but retreated in the face of a backlash by domestic press, also said the issue would have to be revisited.However the European Parliament was jubilant, indicating that it is likely to cement the Spitzenkandidat process when it comes to the next EU election in 2019."Juncker's proposal to be next Commission President marks a turning point for European democracy," said the EP's current chief Gianni Pittella.“The voice of the European citizens has been heard," said the centre-right EPP party chairman, Manfred Weber, with many parliamentarians noting the 2014 vote for the first time provided a much-needed link between EU citizens and Brussels by politicising the selection process.

EU issues Russia sanctions ultimatum
Today @ 13:57-JUNE 27,14-By EUOBSERVER


EU countries Friday indicated they will impose further "targeted measures" on Russia unless it meets a series of conditions by Monday. Conditions include: contributing to "substantial" peace talks; agreeing to international oversight of the conflict; returning three border checkpoints to Ukraine; and the release of all hostages by pro-Russia rebels.

Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine cement EU ties
Today @ 16:09-JUNE 27,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman


BRUSSELS - Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have said their signature of EU free trade treaties is a first step to accession.Leaders of the former Soviet republics and the 28 EU countries signed the accords in Brussels on Friday (27 June).The move crowns seven years of technical negotiations and comes despite Russian efforts to disrupt the process with trade bans, gas disputes, and military aggression.Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko used the same pen that his predecessor, Viktor Yanukovych, was supposed to have used at an EU summit in Vilnius last November before he changed his mind and pro-EU demonstrators swept him from power.Poroshenko told press in Brussels that Lithuanian President Dalia Grybausakite had kept the pen for him.“It [the signature] didn’t happen then, but the pen is the same, demonstrating that historical events are inevitable,” he said.He called the signature “a tribute to those who gave their life … to make this happen”.He said: “By signing the agreement with the European Union, Ukraine, as a European state … is underlining its sovereign choice in favour of future membership”. He added that he expects the EU to give Ukraine a “membership perspective” in “a short time”.Moldovan PM Iurie Leanca said he will file an official EU entry application next year. “Moldova has made a choice and this choice is definitive - European integration”, he noted.Georgia’s Irakli Garibashvili said: “Unofficially, we applied today. Officially, it [Georgia’s application date] depends on the progress that we make in terms of reforms”.The “deep” free trade accords oblige the three states to make far-reaching reforms to comply with EU single market rules.They can still have free trade with Russia, but they are bound to stay out of Russia’s Eurasian Union.The signature prompted a small celebration in Kiev city centre, where some of the people who fought riot police in February reconvened on Friday to mark the event.Latest polls say 61 percent of Ukrainians favour EU membership, compared to 54.5 percent in March before Russia began its assault.All three leaders tried to dampen popular expectations by saying the EU pacts will, for the time being, mean years of “painful” economic and political reforms.Poland and some other ex-Iron Curtain EU members would like the Union to expand further east, but they are in a minority.For his part, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso described the trade treaties as “the most ambitious the European Union has entered into” with non-candidate countries.“We are well aware of our partners' aspirations to go further; and we acknowledge their European choice. As we have stated before, these agreements do not constitute the endpoint of the EU's co-operation with its partners. Quite the opposite”, he said.EU Council chief Herman Van Rompuy added the three states “rightfully belong” in the “European family”.Poroshenko described their remarks as the strongest ever pro-accession EU statements.But some EU diplomats say the Union is still unsure how to handle the consequences of the Ukraine revolution despite its warm words.“So far in the history of the EU, no country had to fight for the sake of EU integration. This is the first such country and the West doesn’t know how to react. It's surprised that some people are actually ready to give their lives for European values”, said one contact.

FALSE POPE FROM THE VATICAN

REVELATION 13:11-13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he (FALSE RELIGIOUS LEADER) exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

REVELATION 17:1-5,9,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(BOMB OR NUKE THE VATICAN)
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,(VATICAN) which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

06/26/2014 -Synod of Bishops: Church must be merciful with the divorced, same-sex couples and teen mothers-One of the messages from the Synod's text:Let the Church not be a judge that condemns the divorced-The Vatican has released the working document for the double synod on the family that will be taking place between 2014 and 2015. It denounces femicide and paedophilia-Iacopo Scaramuzzi

vatican city-The reality of de facto couples, the divorced and the possibility of administering communion to them, but also the condemnation of femicide and paedophilia, the homosexuality question (the Church says “no” to same-sex marriage but pastoral care should be offered to same-sex couples), the courage of teen mothers, streamlining the marriage annulment process, contraception and the difficulty the people of God face in following Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae. Today the Vatican published the Instrumentum Laboris, the core document which is going to be the basis for the discussions that will be held during the double synod on the family called by Pope Francis (an Extraordinary Synod this coming October and an Ordinary Synod in 2015). The title of the 77-page document is “The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization”. The text has been translated into six languages and provides a summary of “the great number of detailed responses” to the questionnaire, which the Synod’s secretariat sent out to all dioceses last November, to gather together the ideas of Catholics across the world. These responses arrived from “the synods of the Eastern Catholic Churches sui iuris, the episcopal conferences, the departments of the Roman Curia and the Union of Superiors General, but also a significant number of dioceses, parishes, movements, groups, ecclesial associations and families, not to mention academic institutions, specialists, both Catholic and non-Catholic, all interested in sharing their reflections.”The text does not avoid controversial questions. It asks a lot of questions and puts forward Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s approach: “From the beginning of his pontificate,”Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, the Synod’s secretary recalls in the introduction, “Pope Francis has emphasized that “the Lord never tires of forgiving: never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness.” This accent on mercy has had a great impact even in matters relating to marriage and the family, in that, far removed from every kind of moralism, it confirms the Christian outlook on life and opens new possibilities for the future, no matter what the personal limitations or the sins committed. God’s mercy is an opening to an ongoing conversion and a continuous rebirth.” The Instrumentum Laboris aims to communicate “the values of the Gospel … to people today in a more intelligible manner.” “The pastoral care of families, far from limiting itself to a legal point of view, has a mission to recall the great vocation of love to which each person is called and to help a person live up to the dignity of that calling.” One sentence in the text clearly reflects the Synod’s collegiality: “To meet this urgency, the episcopate throughout the world is being called, cum et sub Petro, to listen humbly to the Holy Spirit and reflect on today’s pastoral challenges.”The text is split into three parts and covers the eight themes included in the questionnaire. The title of the first section is “Communicating the Gospel of the Family in Today’s World”. It emphasises “the People of God’s knowledge of conciliar and post-conciliar documents on the Magisterium of the family seems to be rather wanting” and that “some responses clearly state that the faithful have no knowledge of these documents.” Furthermore, “many respondents confirmed that, even when the Church's teaching about marriage and the family is known, many Christians have difficulty accepting it in its entirety.” More specifically, the concept of “natural law” “today turns out to be, in different cultural contexts, highly problematic, if not completely incomprehensible.”The second part of the Instrumentum Laboris titled “The Pastoral Challenges of the Family” is particularly intense. This section presents all the difficult situations faced by families today, including specific regional questions (wars, migrations, polygamy and the misogyny of certain cultures). Violence and abuse were prominent issues in many responses and feature among the pastoral challenges of the family: “The responses unanimously make reference to psychological, physical and sexual violence and abuse in families which has a particularly damaging effect on women and children, a phenomenon which, unfortunately, is neither occasional nor isolated, particularly in certain parts of the world,” the document reads, with an explicit reference to femicide, incest and paedophilia. Some of the factors that cause crises in families include “the economic crisis and the instability of the labour market,” migration, a consumerist culture, careerism and competitiveness, as well as sinful acts within the Church, namely paedophilia, “a conspicuously lavish lifestyle by some of the clergy” which “shows an inconsistency between their teaching and their conduct.”The growing number cohabiting couples who live together without marrying. “In this regard, any possible response to this situation through pastoral care must assist young people overcome an overly romantic idea that love is only an intense feeling towards each other and teach them that it is, instead, a personal response to another person as part of a joint project of life, which reveals a great mystery and great promise.” The Church must be a loving presence that takes care of couples, encouraging them “to become true partners among themselves and with others.”Teen mothers. “The responses give particular attention to mothers who have no husbands and who, alone, must care for their children, a situation which is often the result of much suffering and, very often, abandonment. Above all, they are to be esteemed for the love and courage with which they welcomed the life conceived in their womb and now provide for the upbringing and education of their children.”

Remarried divorcees and Communion. “A good number of responses speak of the very many cases, especially in Europe, America and some countries in Africa, where persons clearly ask to receive the Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist. This happens primarily when their children receive the sacraments. At times, they express a desire to receive Communion to feel “legitimized” by the Church and to eliminate the sense of exclusion or marginalization. In this regard, some recommend considering the practice of some Orthodox Churches, which, in their opinion, opens the way for a second or third marriage of a penitential character. In light of this suggestion, countries having a major number of Orthodox Christians noted that, from their experience, this practice does not reduce the number of divorces. Others request clarification as to whether this solution is based on doctrine or is merely a matter of discipline.”Marriage annulment. “Very many responses, especially in Europe and North America request streamlining the procedure for marriage annulments. In this regard, they see a need to investigate the question of the relationship between faith and the Sacrament of Matrimony, as suggested by Pope Benedict XVI, on several occasions.” “Some responses urge caution and point out the following risks in streamlining, simplifying or reducing the process: injustices and errors could result; the impression might be given that the indissolubility of the Sacrament is not respected; the change might lead to abuses and create in young people’s minds the idea that marriage is not a life-long commitment; and the action might bolster the mistaken idea that an annulment is simply “Catholic divorce.””Same-sex couples. “Every bishops’ conference voiced opposition to “redefining” marriage between a man and a woman through the introduction of legislation permitting a union between two people of the same sex. The episcopal conferences amply demonstrate that they are trying to find a balance between the Church's teaching on the family and a respectful, non-judgmental attitude towards people living in such unions. On the whole, the extreme reactions to these unions, whether compromising or uncompromising, do not seem to have facilitated the development of an effective pastoral programme which is consistent with the Magisterium and compassionate towards the persons concerned.” “However, when people living in such unions request a child’s baptism, almost all the responses emphasize that the child must be received with the same care, tenderness and concern which is given to other children.”The last two issues discussed in the Instrumentum Laboris are dealt with in the thirst section titled “An Openness to Life and Parental Responsibility in Upbringing”. The argument presented regarding the subject of contraception is based on Paul VI’s encyclical Humanae Vitae: This “certainly had a prophetic character in reiterating the unbreakable link between conjugal love and the transmission of life.” “When treating a couple’s openness to life and their knowledge of the Church’s teaching, with particular reference to Humanae Vitae, the responses clearly admit that, in the vast majority of cases, the positive aspects are unknown.” “A vast majority of responses emphasize how the moral evaluation of the different methods of birth control is commonly perceived today as an intrusion in the intimate life of the couple and an encroachment on the autonomy of conscience.” “From the pastoral point of view, the responses, in very many cases, see the need to make better known what was stated in Humanae Vitae and to propose a coherent anthropological vision in revitalized language, not only in pre-marriage preparation but also in instructional courses on love in general.”Regarding education, “the responses mention that pastoral activity needs to express more of a sensitivity based on a respect for persons living in these irregular situations and capable of offering effective support to them in the upbringing of their children. The pastoral guidance of parents living in these situations should be ongoing and more attentive to their needs.”In document’s concluding remarks mention “three main areas … under discussion in the Church” which aim to help it “come to some idea of how to respond to the new demands in the People of God.” It ends with a “Prayer to the Holy Family”.During the press conference for the presentation of the document, Cardinal Baldisseri announced that the subject of the ordinary general assembly that is due to be held between 4 and 25 October 2015, will be “Jesus Christ reveals the mystery and vocation of the family”. The press conference was moderated by the Holy See’s spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi. The cardinal said that 85% of the world’s 114 bishops’ conferences completed the questionnaire and that approximately 800 individuals or groups of faithful, associations and single dioceses sent in their responses. There will be 188 Synod members, in addition to the members the Pope will nominate.The number of attendees will be higher in 2015 because it will include not only the presidents of the national episcopates but also other bishops. This is in order to ensure a proportional representation of the various bishops’ conferences.In response to journalists’ questions, the Archbishop of Budapest and relator general of the upcoming Synod, Cardinal Peter Erdő, gave some examples of the issues raised by the Catholic Church in each of the various countries: polygamy in Africa, the Indian caste system, teen mothers in Latin America and emigration in Eastern Europe.In answer to questions about the “successful models” for the pastoral care offered to same-sex couples, presented in the Synod’s working document, Italian archbishop Mgr. Bruno Forte who is also special secretary of the assembly, explained that the aim is to avoid  a “crusade-like” attitude on one hand and an attitude of “permissiveness and relativism” on the other. However, from the responses received, it emerged that what is needed is “a dialogue that will distinguish between the bond of marriage between a man and a woman and the need to recognize people’s right to unions, not just between members of the same sex. Clarity and respect are essential in doing so.” Mgr. Forte commented on former Irish president Mary McAleese’s criticisms against the plans for the Synod, which she called “bonkers”. She said there was “just something profoundly wrong and skewed” about asking “150 male celibates” to re-examine Catholic teaching on family life. The monsignor said her comment was “rash” as it is not true that “those who have not married in order to follow God’s calling are incapable of understanding these problems.”Other figures who spoke at the press conference included: the Archbishop of Paris and president delegate of the Synod, Cardinal André Vingt-Trois, two lay spouses, the former president of Catholic Action Italy, Franco Miano, and Pina De Simone.

06/27/2014 -Pope cancels visit to Rome’s Gemelli hospital due to mild illness Francis-Archbishop Scola will celebrate mass on his behalf-vatican insider staff

Turin-Pope Francis’ visit to Rome's  "Agostino Gemelli" hospital was cancelled at the last minute because the Pope is not feeling too well. The visit was scheduled to take place this afternoon.The General Ecclesiastical Assistant, Claudio Giuliodori, communicated the news to the crowd that was waiting for the Pope’s arrival. The bishop said the mass would be celebrated by the Archbishop Milan, Angelo Scola instead.

06/27/2014 -Holy See: “It’s only natural the Pope should suffer fatigue given the life he leads”Archbishop Scola celebrates Mass on behalf of the Pope at the Gemelli hospital-The Vatican explains why the Pope missed today’s scheduled visit to Rome’s “Agostino Gemelli” hospital: “It was his own decision to postpone his visit to the Gemelli”-GIACOMO GALEAZZI

vatican city-“His fatigue is down to the intense and busy life he leads. This is not the first time a visit has been called off.” This was the explanation the Vatican gave for the Pope’s no-show at Rome’s “Agostino Gemelli” hospital where a large crowd of faithful excitedly awaited his arrival this afternoon. In doing so, the Vatican slashed speculations regarding the Pope’s health, straight away.“Even before his visit to the Holy Land the Pope decided by himself not to complete his scheduled visit the Sanctuary of Divine Love.” “And again now, the Holy Father decided of his own accord not to go.”Francis’ decision not to visit the University of the Sacred Heart’s Rome campus is down to an “unexpected indisposition”, at the end of a very trying week.The hospital’s directors were disappointed by the unexpected, last minute cancellation of the Pope’s visit which would have lasted three hours and was due to take place this afternoon. It is hoped that the visit will be rescheduled and take place soon given that the statement issued by the Holy See does not speak of the visit being “cancelled” but “called off”. The television channels that gathered to cover the event dispersed and the crowds left in an orderly fashion, folding the various welcome banners that had been prepared for the occasion. The Vatican gendarmerie left the Popemobile in the square for a few minutes so that those who had gathered for the papal visit could at least take a few snapshots by the jeep.The news was announced by Bishop Claudio Giuliodori, Ecclesiastical Assistant of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, who explained that the visit had been postponed. When asked about the reasons for the Pope’s scheduled visit, the Master of Ceremonies, Mgr. Guido Martini, said: “If you don’t know that, well…”The Vatican was not alarmed by the Pope’s decision to postpone his visit to the hospital. He also cancelled at the last minute on four other occasions, only to appear in top form the following day. In some cases, skipping a meeting in his packed schedule has been a way for him to save some energy ahead of other meetings. The last time this happened was on 9 June, when he called off a number of meetings (including the audience with the Supreme Council of Magistrates) the day after his Vatican  “prayer summit” with Palestinian president Abu Mazen, Israeli president Shimon Peres and the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. But the following Wednesday his General Audience went ahead as normal (and it was tiring because, as usual, he greeted hundreds of sick people individually). The Sunday after that he went to meet a multitude of poor people and foreign friends, friends of the Community of Sant’Egidio.The first time Francis skipped a scheduled meeting was a year ago, when people awaited his arrival at a concert in his honour to mark the Year of Faith in vain. A dismayed Mgr. Rino Fisichella had to explain that the Pope was busy receiving Holy See representatives to hear about the serious problems the Church faced across the world. His empty seat became a symbol of the Pope “from the other side of the world’s “rejection of worldliness.On 4 December Francis cancelled his audience with Angelo Scola and representatives of Expo Milano 2015 who wanted to invite him to the event. Last 28 February, Francis cancelled his visit to the Roman Seminary because of a slight fever.In order to recharge his batteries, he also called off the visit to the Sanctuary of Divine Love on 15 May, as well as the audiences scheduled for 16 May, so that he could rest a bit before his trip to the Holy Land.The homily for today’s mass at the “Agostino Gemelli” hospital - celebrated by the Archbishop of Milan and President of the Toniolo Institute, Angelo Scola, in the end - was entirely dedicated to Jesus’ love for humanity. “We can experience and taste the tenderness of this love at every stage of our lives: in times of joy and in times of sadness, in times of health and in times of infirmity and illness,” the Pope’s text read.

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Grand Pride Wedding will see 110 couples wed-'We're really jealous of Canada' says Taiwanese woman set to marry partner-The Canadian Press Posted: Jun 26, 2014 7:53 AM ET Last Updated: Jun 26, 2014 2:50 PM ET

Inae Lee knows she won't have the support of her South Korean parents as she weds her partner in Toronto today, but she's hoping the 109 other couples tying the knot beside her will make up for her family's rejection of her relationship.Lee will be just one of the participants in a mass wedding for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirited couples, which is considered the first of its kind in Canada.The Grand Pride Wedding will involve couples from across Canada, as well as participants from countries where same-sex marriage is illegal.For Lee, the event is historically significant."In my parents' mind, they don't believe that this can be celebrated. In their mind, it's something that's illegal, it's something that's not allowed, it's very sinful," said 28-year-old Lee."I really want to let them know that we are celebrated, and it's OK for us to get married."Lee is getting married to Jenny Chang Ho, who is originally from Venezuela. The pair met in Toronto two years ago and have been together ever since."This actually makes us appreciate more that we're able to do this and be able to live in Canada," Chang Ho said. "It's very accepting and more diverse than other countries."Canada's first legal same-sex marriage took place on June 10, 2003, just hours after Ontario's Court of Appeal pronounced the Canadian law on traditional marriage unconstitutional.
Other provinces followed suit and the federal government legalized same-sex marriage countrywide two years later with the gender-neutral Civil Marriage Act.

'We're really jealous of Canada'

For Cindy Su and her partner Lana Yu, Canada is a leading example when it comes to the acceptance of same-sex couples."We're really jealous of Canada," said Su, who travelled with Yu from Taiwan to tie the knot in Toronto. "We're looking forward to this happening in our country."Both women spent time studying in Canada years ago, but only met four years ago in Taiwan. Although Yu's parents don't know about Su, the couple is determined to move their relationship forward and plan to try in vitro fertilization in Vancouver after the wedding."We figured we didn't really want any objection to stop us from doing what we want in life," she said. " I'm actually looking forward to what happens when we go back. Obviously, maybe in the future there will be some problems with the legality but now that we want to start a family, we have to be really brave."About 1,000 people to attend.Organizers say up to 1,000 people are expected to attend the Grand Pride Wedding, which is believed to be the largest of its kind in North America.The setting will be Casa Loma, a palatial Toronto home built between 1911 and 1914, which has since become a popular tourist attraction and event venue."What we see Casa Loma as is this grand lady at the top of the hill watching Toronto evolve," said Nick Di Donato, president and CEO of the Liberty Entertainment Group which operates the facility and is hosting the event. "This is a dramatic part of that evolution."Di Donato's company is absorbing all costs for the event, with the couples only having to pay for an Ontario marriage licence."It's a lifetime event and something they'll remember forever," he said. "Most of these couples are from outside Toronto — they become our ambassadors for the City of Toronto in terms of the openness of the city and the welcome that we've provided them."The venue is of particular significance for Windsor, Ont., resident Aaron Bergeron, who is marrying partner Kenneth Grundy. They first visited Casa Loma when they were in Toronto two years ago."We were walking around in it and I was like 'how awesome would it be to get married here,"' Bergeron said. "When we found out that that's where they were having the giant ceremony, I was like, this has to happen."Bergeron also loves the fact that his marriage is going to be part of a much larger celebration."We all get to come in and be part of this giant international thing where it doesn't matter where you're from or it doesn't matter what you believe in," he said."We're all getting together because we love the person that we're with and we want to express that."Despite the significance — and scale — of the celebration, some warn that the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, ransgenders,  queers and two-spirited people (a First Nations term for individuals who are considered to be neither women nor men) still can't be taken for granted."This says a lot about acceptance and change in our society," said Helen Kennedy, executive director of national charity Egale, which was involved in planning the "big fat gay wedding.""We constantly hear things like 'oh, now you have marriage, now what do you want."'Kennedy added that more work still needs to be done to combat issues like homophobic bullying, hate crimes and an overrepresentation  of LGBTQ individuals among the homeless."It's an amazing thing for these couples to express their love and devotion for each other in this ceremony, but we have to remember all of those other people who are still struggling."The Canadian Press

WIPP Expert: “Very likely” multiple nuclear waste drums exploded, risk of more occurring; It was clearly something major… signs of fire at container holding over 500 billion Bq of Plutonium and -Americium — Nuclear Engineer: “This is a huge dirty bomb” (VIDEO)

Chris Harris, former licensed Senior Reactor Operator and engineer, June 19, 2014 (at 33:45 in): I do believe the part about it being a hydrogen explosion [at WIPP]– due to the decomposition of the green kitty litter — that causes a whole bunch of problems, and one of them is that this is a huge dirty bomb.

Insight New Mexico interviews Don Hancock, director of the Nuclear Waste Safety program and administrator at Southwest Research and Information Center, June 12, 2014 (at 4:00 in): They haven’t been able to physically get to the one or more containers that… exploded, or had some kind of a deflagration. They had pictures of one container that’s clearly breached, has holes, the lid is off, there are signs that there’s melting around, small amounts of fire, etc… So clearly something major happened. We still don’t know how many containers are involved, I think it’s very likely that its more than the one… the reason I think there’s probably more than is while this particular container has 16 or 17 curies of plutonium and americium [592 billion to 629 billion becquerels] in it, which is a much larger amount than what the average container is, there are containers including ones sitting right beside it that have more radioactivity. We don’t know how much came out, but from what we do know, it looks to me that it was more than what could have come out of a single container.

Nuclear Hotseat #156, with host Libbe HaLevy, M.A., June 16, 2014 — Hancock (at 28:45 in): I think the evidence is pretty strong that there has to be more than one breached container. But the container that is breached… there are 54 other containers from that waste stream in the same room… I’m pretty convinced and other people that have looked at the data are pretty convinced that there’s got to be more than this one container that has leaked… there could be another container nearby that in fact caused the breach and because of its explosion, that forced this other container to leak. […] This morning the House Appropriations Committee, the US Congressional House released a draft report that will be considered by the full committee tomorrow morning in which they in essence say that their understanding is the ventilation system at WIPP and the exhaust shaft are so contaminated that they can never be used again… a new ventilation system and new exhaust shaft [are needed]… clearly they’ve said some things to members of the Houseand people in the House believe that they’re not going to be viable to us those parts of the WIPP anymore. […] At this point there are still risks of additional events happening… it’s going to keep going on and on and on for quite some time.http://www.nuclearhotseat.com/1978/

Poll: Most Palestinians want to eliminate Israel-Less than 30% back two-state solution, though most are opposed to violent resistance, and Hamas seems to have gained little support from kidnapping-By Times of Israel staff June 25, 2014, 4:55 pm-IsraelNationalNews
Palestinian support for a two-state solution with Israel has dropped to below the 30 percent mark, according to a new poll commissioned by the US-based think tank the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, though most respondents said they were opposed to violent resistance.Marking a notable shift in Palestinian public opinion, 60 percent of the population surveyed in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (55% and 68%, respectively) said that the five-year goal “should be to work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine, from the river to the sea,” according to the poll, a position meaning the elimination of Israel. Meanwhile, less than 30% (31% in the West Bank, 22% in Gaza) would like to “end the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza to achieve a two-state solution.”In contrast, 53% of Palestinians supported the two-state solution in a December 2013 poll conducted by the Hebrew University.Numerous other statistics from the survey confirmed the downward trend of support for a two-state solution as an end to the conflict. Two-thirds of respondents said that a two-state solution would be “part of a ‘program of stages,’ to liberate all of historic Palestine later” and that “resistance should continue until all of historic Palestine is liberated.”On a more promising note, a majority of respondents registered opposition to violent resistance against Israel, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where 70% said Hamas should maintain a ceasefire with Israel and 57% said that Hamas should accede to the PA unity government’s renunciation of violence. In the West Bank 56% said that Hamas should adhere to the ceasefire and 50% said it should renounce violence altogether.
The poll showed that a clear majority of Palestinians — 62% of the West Bank and 73% of Gazans — support nonviolent “popular resistance against the occupation” and see it as a useful tactic.Perhaps surprisingly, Hamas seems to have gained little political clout for its alleged abduction of the three Israeli teenagers, despite popular support for the kidnapping on the street. Asked who should lead the Palestinian Authority in the next two years, 65% chose Fatah leaders, with Mahmoud Abbas leading (30%), then Marwan Baghouti (12%), Mohammed Dahlan (10%) and others (13% combined), while various Hamas leaders only won 9% of support in the West Bank and 15% in Gaza.The Palestinian public also appeared to exhibit some short-term pragmatism, with over 80% saying they “definitely” or “probably” wanted to see more job opportunities for Palestinians in Israel. A majority said they also wanted Israeli companies to offer more jobs to Palestinians in the West Bank or Gaza.The Washington Institute said the poll was conducted by “a leading Palestinian pollster” on June 15-17 through face-to-face interviews among 1,200 adult Palestinians, with a 3% statistical margin of error.

Operation Brothers' Keeper to Continue at Full Force-Security Cabinet reverses plan to scale back operation - and allow payments to terrorist prisoners - hours after mothers appeal to MKs.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 6/25/2014, 8:31 PM / Last Update: 6/25/2014, 8:56 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Operation Brothers' Keeper will continue at full force, the Security Cabinet declared Wednesday night, less than 24 hours after it announced that the search for three yeshiva students kidnapped by Hamas would be scaled down out of concerns for both Ramadan and Israel's international standing.
The decision, a stunning about-face, surfaces just hours after the mothers of kidnapped teens Naftali Frenkel (16), Gilad Sha'ar (16), and Eyal Yifrah (19) spoke poignantly at the Knesset. All three begged the Israeli government not to stop the rescue mission and urging them to continue the wide-scale crackdown on Hamas. While the decision has not been formally linked to the speech, it is worth noting that the content of Bat Galim Sha'ar's speech related directly to the steps taken by the Cabinet in Wednesday night's hearing."We need to look beyond our own pain, to let go of that which burns within us; we are required to see before our eyes the people of Israel, the IDF, the security forces, the government of Israel standing up against its enemies, and the hidden mission God has brought before us," she said. "I have full confidence in the system, but only if I know that Israel is doing everything to find my son, as well as Naftali and Eyal.""If the Prime Minister knows the identity of the kidnappers, we must act in any way possible to pressure them to bring the boys home alive: to stop funds, to worsen conditions for prisoners, to put pressure on the Palestinian Authority (PA)," she urged. "Hamas will then know that it is not worth it to kidnap Jewish children. "No more "terror salaries"The Security Cabinet also decided to stop the transfer of "terror money" to Palestinian Arab terrorists in Israeli prisons Wednesday, a dramatic move likely to place even more pressure on Hamas. Earlier Wednesday, Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett vowed to lead the Cabinet in this direction, promising to stop the practice of "terror salaries" paid out to convicted murderers provided by the Palestinian Authority (PA)."Did you murder Jews? Have you abducted children? Get up to 12,000 shekels a month from Abu Mazen!,” wrote Bennett sarcastically on his Facebook page. “Meet Abu Mazen's 'preferred employment' track: murderers, terrorists and child abductors. We have preferred status for gas station attendants, Abu Mazen gives it to those who pour fuel on the fires of death and destruction.”According to a report presented by Bennett, a terrorist serving 5-10 years makes 4,000 shekels a month; a terrorist serving 10-15 years makes 6,000 shekels, a terrorist serving 25-30 years makes 10,000 shekels, and terrorists who are serving over 30 years make 12,000 shekels a month."In addition, every Palestinian prisoner in Israel receives 400 shekels for private expenses, twice a year,” wrote Bennett. “There is also a bonus for married terrorists and a special addition for children. In Palestinian terms, these are huge salaries.”The PA has long used foreign aid money to fund these immense sums, specifically from the US and European Union (EU).
Just this month, the PA attempted to keep this money flowing into terrorists' coffers through a naming scheme, slyly transferring the Ministry of Prisoners to the "Authority of Prisoners" now under the direct control of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the terror organization behind Fatah.

Last-minute reversal

On Tuesday, the Security Cabinet decided to scale down the IDF operations against Hamas and focus on locating the teens, concentrating on arrests that would aid in gathering intel about the three. The decision, which was initially denied by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, allegedly was to fend off international criticism over the IDF crackdown on Hamas over the abduction, as well as concerns about the upcoming Muslim holiday of Ramadan. The announcement surfaced hours after the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) publicly assailed Israel for over 90 minutes during a session in Geneva, just before Rachel Frenkel - Naftali's mother - was about to speak.The Israeli government also reached a deal with Palestinian Arab hunger strikers shortly after the announcement was made, allegedly after holding talks with the terrorists and with Ramadan in mind. The full details of the deal will be released later, officials said, once the strikers are released from hospitals where they are being treated.

Syrian opposition frustrated by limited Israeli raids-Recent air force strikes were nothing but a ‘tickle’ to Assad regime’s offensive capabilities, Free Syrian Army laments-By Elhanan Miller June 25, 2014, 9:09 pm 0-The Times of Israel

Members of the Syrian opposition have been left frustrated by an Israeli airstrike against regime targets on Sunday night, claiming that a more forceful strike coordinated with the fighting forces on the ground could have bolstered their position and boosted Israeli popularity in the Syrian Golan Heights.The Israeli Air Force strikes hit seven targets on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, including the headquarters of the 90th Brigade near Quneitra and a number of surrounding anti-tank and artillery companies, opposition sources told The Times of Israel. According to regime sources, four men were killed in the attacks — other reports put the number at 10 — which were a retaliation for the cross-border killing of Mohammed Karakra, a 15-year-old Israeli boy.Syrian oppositionists on the ground reported that the regime withdrew its tanks from the bases ahead of the Israeli strikes, and subsequently returned them to their positions.“The hits, although accurate, didn’t harm the regime’s offensive capabilities,” one opposition activist told The Times of Israel. “We have contacted a number of Free Syrian Army commanders who told us the strikes were nothing but a tickle. They have not disabled the regime’s ability to defend its positions.”It is doubtful whether Israel ever intended its airstrikes to be more than just “a tickle.” Despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s warning on Monday that Israel would “continue to forcefully hurt anyone who attacks us or tries to attack us,” the Israeli operation Sunday didn’t significantly deviate from previous pinpoint retaliations against Syrian positions following violent spillover into Israel.The death of Karakra, in what the IDF deemed an intended attack and not a case of errant fire, failed to sway Israeli decision makers against Assad enough to justify effective military support for rebel forces on the Golan.One opposition member told The Times of Israel that had the airforce strikes been coordinated with the Free Syrian Army, fighters on the ground could have possibly captured a number of regime bases, a move that would have boosted Israel’s popularity among local residents. “The population is very pleased with the attack, and believes that it is a step on the way to deposing the dictator,” he said, nevertheless.But an FSA spokesman from Daraa, recently injured in battle, said the Syrian opposition faces a real dilemma in weighing cooperation with Israel.“One analyst said that we should have moved on the ground with the strike, but we didn’t do a thing. It would have been a mistake to intervene during the strike when there are people who oppose [Israeli military] assistance… People on the [Syrian] Golan are divided between those who favor Israeli support and those who say ‘let them leave us alone.’”The limited Israeli operation, the fighter opined, was a function of Israeli indecision about how to best confront its enemy Assad.“Israel has made up its mind against Assad, but hasn’t yet decided to wage open war against him,” he said. “There is no argument that Israel opposes him, but it still has some reservations.” Actually, many in the Syrian opposition doubt whether Israel truly opposes Assad, or whether it is really assisting him behind the scenes while sophisticatedly covering its tracks. One political opposition member based in Istanbul, who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition on anonymity for fear of jeopardizing his position, argued that most of Assad’s opponents still strongly believe that Israel continues to prop up his regime after having enjoyed decades of quiet on its border with Syria.    ‘We have contacted a number of Free Syrian Army commanders who told us the strikes were nothing more than a tickle’“Israel supports Assad and wants him to remain, but doesn’t say so publicly. Instead, it moves others to that end,” he said. “Had Israel given NATO and America the green light to undertake a military operation, they would have done so and removed the regime… the Zionist lobby controls all world decisions.”The Syrian population interprets the Israeli strikes against Assad’s army as an attempt to destroy its military equipment and infrastructure before the opposition gets the chance to take it over.“Israel is scared to arm the opposition, but it could have undertaken a strong military operation. It could disrupt communications of [regime] aircraft and impose a no-fly zone in the entire southern area [of Syria],” he said.Proof of Israel’s support for Assad emerged last June, he said, when Israel allowed regime tanks to wrest control of the Quneitra border crossing with Israel from the rebels, who had managed to capture it.“Israel allowed the tanks to enter the buffer zone, where no arms are allowed, something it had never done before,” he said. “Here was Israel, bringing the enemy to our land with its heavy weaponry to hit the rebels… this was the best proof.”

Report: Syrian Forces Bomb Sunni Targets in Iraq-Another act of Syrian aggression? Warplanes with Syrian flags seen bombing ISIS-controlled towns in Iraq; Damascus denies it.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 6/25/2014, 8:31 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Iraqi officials accused Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces of taking advantage of the crisis near Baghdad Wednesday, saying that Syrian warplanes struck several border areas in Anbar province Tuesday. At least 57 Iraqi civilians were killed and 120 wounded in the attacks, local officials told CNN, in cities controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).This is not the first time this week Syrian forces have fired into a neighboring country. On Sunday, Syrian forces lobbed a mortar shell into the Golan Heights, killing a 13 year-old boy and seriously wounding a Ministry of Defense civilian subcontractor. Israel responded with airstrikes. If true, the report would indicate an even broader spillover of the Syrian Civil War, which has mushroomed since 2011 from a statewide dispute into an all-out Islamic holy war between Sunni and Shi'te groups.Sabah Karkhout, the head of Iraq's Anbar provincial council, told CNN that Tuesday's airstrikes hit markets and fuel stations in Rutba, al-Walid and Al-Qaim (see map below). Syria-Iraq border. Burnt orange X = alleged site of Syrian airstrikes. Several hundred kilometers northwest of clashes near Bagdhad; note - the entire region under ISIS control, locals say. Google Maps/Annotations from A7 staff.Karkhout said he was certain the warplanes were Syrian because they bore the Syrian flag."Also, the planes flew directly from Syrian airspace and went back to Syria," he added.Nickolay Mladenov, head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, confirmed Wednesday that the warplanes that bombed the Iraqi cities were not Iraqi jets, but told reporters he did not have information beyond that.State-based media in Syria called the reports "completely baseless," blaming them on "malicious media outlets."Meanwhile, the Iraqi military continue to hold the entire area between Samarra and Baghdad, according to several international media outlets, despite constant skirmishes with advancing ISIS forces.ISIS progress, moving toward Bagdhad.

This month's offensive has seen the ISIS claim an unprecedented number of victories in a lighting-fast takeover of the flashpoint region.So far, the Islamists have made a systemic advance from northern Iraq and southward. Several weeks ago, ISIS leaders seized Mosul; just 48 hours later, Tikrit - birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein - fell to the terrorists.

Rivlin: Abbas speech could restore Israel-PA trust-Addressing Jewish journalists, president-elect reserves ‘right to choose my own faith,’ but insists his door will be open to all-By Raphael Ahren June 25, 2014, 7:05 pm 3-The Times of Israel

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s call for the immediate release of the three kidnapped Israeli teenagers opened the window for an Israeli-Palestinian rapprochement, President-elect Reuven Rivlin said Wednesday, calling for “direct communication” between Jerusalem and Ramallah to foster a better understanding of each other’s position.Stopping short of calling for a peace agreement that would establish a Palestinian state, Rivlin – who made clear to The Times of Israel last month that he does not support Palestinian statehood – advocated for Arab-Jewish coexistence, expressing hope for “some sort of understanding.”“I see his appeal as an opportunity to restore trust between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, if it could ever happen,” Rivlin said about Abbas’s June 18 speech in Saudi Arabia. Speaking in English to international Jewish journalists in Jerusalem, the incoming president added: “We used to say we need CBMs, confidence-building measures, and I suppose that [Abbas's] words were something that could bring us to create any kind of trust between the two people.”Rivlin said he was aware that other Palestinian leaders have subsequently questioned whether Gil-ad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel had really been kidnapped. “Nevertheless,” Rivlin said of Abbas’s speech, “I really believe it means something.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initially reacted coldly to Abbas’s statement, but this week said several times that it was important and appreciated. Still, Netanyahu added, if Abbas were truly opposed to terrorism and interested in peace with Israel, he would dismantle his unity government with Hamas.Building trust between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples, not merely between their leaders, is essential, Rivlin said Wednesday, in his first public speech held in English since he was elected on June 10. “If we are to put to an end the tragedy that is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such trust requires constant communication and mutual understanding in order to breach the gap that for decades — more than 150 years — seem unbridgeable.” Avoiding any reference to the collapsed peace process or concrete Israeli polices vis-a-vis the Palestinians, Rivlin said that Jews and Arabs need to realize they are destined to coexist together on this piece of land. “We can’t live without the belief that we can get to a sort of understanding. Whether we will it or not, we share the same geographic region. We breathe the same air, we drink the same water.”Rivlin, who is to succeed President Shimon Peres late next month, said that he has met with Abbas several times and that he will meet the PA leader again once he is sworn in as president. While they have “a lot of differences of opinion” that appear impossible to bridge, it is their “duty to do so, to find a way in order to at least understand the position of the other side,” the president-elect said. Both he and Abbas understand how crucial “direct communication” is for life in the Middle East.Speaking at the closing panel of the Jewish Media Summit in the capital, Rivlin also indirectly addressed his controversial statements about Reform Judaism.“I will never reject someone based on their worldview and I will fight for their right to express it,” he said. “Even as president-elect I maintain the right to choose my own faith, but I will insist that the presidential home be open to anyone who wishes to engage in a dialogue with me, be they Jewish — of one religious movement or another — Arab, residents of Israel or abroad, rich or poor, newcomers or veterans.”In 1989, Rivlin visited a Reform synagogue and said he was stunned at how different the services was from what he was used to. “This is idol worship and not Judaism,” he said in a newspaper interview at the time. “Until now I thought Reform was a stream of Judaism, but after visiting two of their synagogues I am convinced that this is a completely new religion without any connection to Judaism.”

UN Fails to Agree on Condemnation of Israel-U.S. Ambassador Power says directly criticizing Israel is "a red line", as Security Council can't agree on statement against Jewish State.By Elad Benari-First Publish: 6/24/2014, 4:16 AM-IsraelNationalNews

The United Nations Security Council on Monday failed to agree on a statement that would have condemned Israel over the deaths of Palestinian Arabs as part of its security operation in Judea and Samaria, following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers by Hamas.Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, the current Security Council president, was quoted by The Associated Press (AP) as having said he proposed the press statement after listening to a Palestinian appeal for council action.He added that one council member wanted stronger language and one didn't want any reference to Israel, so unfortunately the council was not able to find "common ground."Diplomats said Jordan insisted that "deploring" wasn't strong enough and U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said any language directly criticizing Israel would be "a red line" for the Americans.The diplomats spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian Authority (PA) UN ambassador, said he had delivered a letter to Churkin from the PA leadership demanding that the Security Council "shoulder its responsibility" by "condemning this onslaught against our people and demanding a complete cessation immediately."UN Undersecretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told the Security Council at an earlier open meeting that the situation on the ground had turned highly volatile following the suspension of peace negotiations in late April and despite initial restraint on both sides.He expressed alarm at the increasing Palestinian Arab death toll in Israeli security operations, saying more than 350 have reportedly been arrested, many injured and four killed."We condemn all killings of civilians and call for an investigation into any such deaths," Feltman said, according to AP.He also criticized Israel for tightened restrictions on Palestinian Arab movements, the hunger strike by terrorist prisoners, and for "illegal settlement building”, the report said.Feltman urged Israel to exercise restraint and not to “punish Palestinians for offenses they have not personally committed.”The debate in the Security Council was held one day after UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed “solidarity” with the families of the three kidnapped Israeli teenagers, but also hit out at Israel for arresting Hamas terrorists as part of its operation to locate the three teens.In a statement Sunday outlining Ban’s conversation with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu the day before, the UN chief stressed “the need to avoid an escalation of tensions in the wake of the recent abduction of three Israeli teenagers and the increased violence and mass arrests in the West Bank.”According to the statement, in Saturday’s phone call with Netanyahu, Ban “conveyed his sympathy for the abducted teenagers and deep solidarity with their families” but also “voiced concern over the increased violence, mass arrests, and restrictions on movement in the West Bank.”The conversation between Ban and Netanyahu was held several days after a spokesperson for Ban claimed that the UN has no "concrete evidence" that Eyal Yifrah, 19, Naftali Frenkel, 16, and Gilad Sha'ar, 16, were "actually" kidnapped by Hamas terrorists.The timing of the spokesperson’s comments was odd, as they were made after Ban had already condemned the kidnapping, noting particularly that two of the kidnapped Israeli students are minors.

Israel detains 37 more Palestinians in West Bank crackdown
By Ali Sawafta 7 hours ago-JUNE 23,14-YahooNews


RAMALLAH West Bank (Reuters) - Israel's army said on Monday it had detained another 37 Palestinians overnight as it searched for three missing teenagers and extended a crackdown on the Hamas Islamist group it accuses of kidnapping them.There were no reports of clashes between the soldiers and Palestinians in the raids in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where the military says it has detained 361 people since the Israeli students went missing on June 12.The crisis has aggravated tensions in the West Bank which, along with East Jerusalem and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, the Palestinians want as part of a future state.An Israeli military spokeswoman said the latest operations took place in Jenin, a militant stronghold, and in the Hebron area, close to where the three disappeared while hitchhiking."As part of ongoing operations, (Israeli) forces detained 37 suspects and searched 80 locations," the spokeswoman said.Palestinian officials said Israeli soldiers also entered Bethlehem and Nablus.The disappearance of the students - Gil-Ad Shaer and U.S.-Israeli dual national Naftali Fraenkel, both aged 16, and Eyal Yifrah, 19 - after they left a Jewish settlement where they were studying has been celebrated by Hamas. But it has stopped short of taking credit."We don't have any information about the missing three soldier-settlers," Hamas supreme leader Khaled Meshaal was quoted as saying by Palimes, a website aligned with the group."If indeed there was a capture, those who did it must be saluted."Hospital officials in the West Bank said four Palestinians have been killed during clashes with Israeli forces since the search for the teenagers began.

HOME DEMOLITION ORDERED

Announcing an arrest made last month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that security forces detained a Hamas member suspected of killing an Israeli police officer in an April 14 shooting attack on his car in the West Bank."I have ordered the destruction of the house of the terrorist who did this," Netanyahu told reporters.Razing the dwelling would mark a return to a punitive practice, discontinued in 2005 as a Palestinian uprising waned, of destroying the homes of Palestinians involved in attacks against Israelis.Israeli officials said at the time that Palestinian hatred stirred by such demolitions - Israel's B'tselem rights group lists 664 during fighting between 2001 and 2005 - outweighed any deterrent effect. An Israeli court would have to approve the razing of the Hamas suspect's home before it could go ahead.Separately, Israel has continued its internationally criticised demolitions of Palestinian dwellings and other structures built without hard-to-obtain permits in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. According to B'tselem, 175 housing units in the West Bank and 72 in East Jerusalem were razed last year.The kidnapping of the three teens and subsequent arrests have also put pressure on a unity pact between Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Israel has urged the Western-backed leader to scrap the agreement.Abbas has condemned the kidnappings and his security forces have been helping in the search - cooperation that has stirred anger among Palestinians."The security coordination is a catastrophe," Meshaal said.But Abbas has also called the Israeli sweeps "collective punishment" and his Palestinian Authority has sought to convene the U.N. Security Council to try to end the incursions.Hamas has called for Israel's destruction, although various officials have at times indicated a willingness to negotiate a long-term ceasefire.The United States and the European Union classify Hamas as a terrorist group and shun contact with it unless it recognises Israel, renounces violence and accepts past interim peace accords.(Additional reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi in Gaza; Writing by Allyn Fisher-Ilan; Editing by Jeffrey Heller and Mark Heinrich)

Hamas Leader: Bless Whoever Kidnapped the Youths-Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal denies his group is behind the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, but welcomes the abduction.By Dalit Halevi and Elad Benari-First Publish: 6/24/2014, 12:13 AM-IsraelNationalNews

Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Monday denied that his group had any connection to the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, but said he welcomed the abduction.Speaking with the Al Jazeera network, Mashaal claimed that Hamas had no information regarding the three, but said that if it turns out they were indeed kidnapped, "then blessed be the kidnappers, since it is a Palestinian obligation to release prisoners and make the occupation pay the price of the Palestinian suffering."In a direct appeal to the families of the three teenagers, Mashaal accused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was responsible for the kidnapping, claiming his “disregard for Palestinian suffering” is the reason for the abduction."If Netanyahu had listened to the suffering of the (hunger) striking prisoners and had not opposed the national reconciliation agreement, the situation in the Palestinian arena would not have been so serious,” he claimed.Mashaal noted that the reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas emphasizes taking action for the release of prisoners as a sacred national duty and devotion to using any means to realize this goal.In addition, he said, the agreement calls for the establishment of a unified leadership in the struggle against the "occupation", the establishment of a new political authority and the end of the security coordination with Israel.The comments come hours after Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh stated that a third intifada (terror war against Israel) had started, citing ongoing unrest in the Palestinian Authority (PA) as the IDF cracks down on Hamas in Judea and Samaria.Despite Mashaal’s denial that Hamas is involved in the kidnapping, both Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and other security officials have confirmed again and again that the terror organization is behind the abduction. Operation Brothers' Keeper to find the boys, as well as to subdue Hamas in the PA over the abduction, is well into its tenth day. At least 360 Hamas terrorists have been arrested and 1400 sites scoured in the search. On Sunday, an underground terror tunnel system was uncovered in Hevron.

Lebanon: Suicide Bomber Hits Café in Beirut-Car bomb blows up outside a café in Beirut, where many gathered to watch a World Cup game. No one killed but several wounded.By Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 6/24/2014, 1:15 AM-IsraelNationalNews

A suspected car bomb blew up outside a café near a Lebanese army checkpoint in Beirut late Monday, security sources told The Daily Star.The sources said a suicide bomber blew himself up near an army checkpoint in Tayyouneh, at one of the main entrances into the capital's southern suburbs.According to the sources, the car was moving against traffic when it exploded, thus confirming that a suicide bomber has carried out the attack. The sources said several people were wounded but no one was killed at the café, where many residents gathered to watch the Brazil vs. Cameroon game as part of World Cup 2014.The Lebanese Red Cross confirmed that the explosion did not result in deaths but several customers of the Abou Assaf café sustained “light wounds,”  according to The Daily Star.The attack is the latest in a series of bombings that have hit Lebanon in recent months. A suicide bombing at a police checkpoint on the Beirut-Damascus highway last Friday fueled fears killed a police officer was and wounded 33 people.Hezbollah’s strongholds in Lebanon have been the targets of repeated attacks ever since the group acknowledged sending fighters into Syria to support President Bashar Al-Assad's troops as they battle rebels.Bombings have also hit the mainly Sunni northern city of Tripoli, and ongoing fighting in that city between rival militias supporting different sides in the Syrian civil war have killed scores more.

06/22/2014 -The courage to label mobsters “adorers of evil”-THE ARGENTINE PONTIFF IN CALABRIA-The words of Francis against the ‘ndrangheta and its affiliates: never before has a Pope said they are excommunicated-ANDREA TORNIELLI

VATICAN CITY-Never before has a Pope said publicly, without mincing words, that “the mafia is excommunicated”. Pope Francis made the declaration from the pulpit, in the land of the mafia. Following his visit to the frontier of Lampedusa, an island inundated by refugees and immigrants, and the journey amongst the unemployed of Sardinia, Francis’ current visit has taken him to the fringes of the country, in Calabria. It is the ‘geography’ of a pope who favours the less fortunate, as yesterday he visited Cassano allo Jonio to show that he is close to those who live in a land plagued by organised crime and encourage those in attendance with signs of hope and prospects. In the prison of Castrovillari, Bergoglio embraced the father and two grandmothers of Cocò Campolongo, the three-year-old burned alive in an ‘ndrangheta ambush, and during the mass held on the plains of the village of Sibari, he deviated from the text prepared for the homily and declared that “this evil must be fought and distanced”, inviting the Church to commit itself even more in this regard. He said, with potency, that as many as there are that follow this path, “the mafia is excommunicated”. Yet this is not the first time that Francis has spoken of the mafia. Last March he met two families, victims of the mafia, at a meeting promoted in Rome by “Libera”, with father Ciotti. On that occasion he asked the “men and women of the mafia” to convert and change their lives “so that they do not end up in hell”, “which is what awaits if they continue on this path… The power, the money you have now through illicit business, from many mafia crimes, is bloody money, it is bloody power and you cannot take it with you to the next life”. This time the appeal, clear and strong, and with reference to excommunication, was declared by the Pope from the altar in the land of the mafia. Resolved in his choice, the message echoes that famous address by John Paul II in the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento, in 1993.For Bergoglio, speaking out against organised crime is nothing new after his years at the episcopacy in Buenos Aires. In 2009, father Pepe di Paola, one of the priests he had assigned to the parish in the shanty town of Barracas, received death threats from drug traffickers. The future Pope told the priest: “If something is to happen to one of mine, I want them to kill me”. He removed the priest to protect him and defended him publicly saying that the appeals to fight crime and narcotics came from him, the archbishop.“The Gospel contains answers for us all, even against the ‘ndrangheta” said the bishop of Cassano and secretary of the CEI, Nunzio Galantino. Today Francis reiterated this not only to those fighting for change, but also to those “sleeping consciences”, which are complicit.

Kerry promises 'intense and sustained' U.S. support for Iraq
By Lesley Wroughton and Ahmed Rasheed -JUNE 23,14-YahooNews


BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday promised "intense and sustained" U.S. support for Iraq, but said the divided country would only survive if its leaders took urgent steps to bring it together.Hours before Kerry arrived in Baghdad, Sunni tribes who have joined a militant takeover of northern Iraq seized the only legal crossing point with Jordan, security sources said, leaving troops with no presence along the entire western frontier which includes some of the Middle East's most important trade routes.U.S. President Barack Obama has offered up to 300 American advisers to Iraq but held off granting a request by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi'ite Muslim-led government for air strikes to counter the two-week advance by Sunni militants.Officials have meanwhile called for Iraqis to form an inclusive government. The insurgency has been fuelled largely by a sense of materialization and persecution among Iraq's Sunnis."The support will be intense and sustained and if Iraq's leaders take the necessary steps to bring the country together, it will be effective," Kerry told reporters in Baghdad.He said Maliki had "on multiple occasions affirmed his commitment to July 1" as the date to start the formation of a new government bringing in more Sunnis and Kurds to share power, a move Washington is keen to see.Iraqi and Jordanian security sources said tribal leaders were negotiating to hand the Turabil desert border post to Sunni Islamists from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) who took two main crossings with Syria in recent days and have pushed Iraqi government forces back toward Baghdad.Iraq state television said late on Monday that the army had recaptured both the crossing with Jordan and the al-Waleed crossing with Syria. Reuters could not independently confirm reports due to security restrictions.Ethnic Kurdish forces control a third border post with Syria in the north, leaving government troops with no presence along Iraq's 800-km (500-mile) western border.For the insurgents, capturing the frontier is a dramatic step towards the goal of erasing the modern border altogether and building a caliphate across swaths of Syria and Iraq.Kerry said: "Iraq faces an existential threat and Iraq's leaders have to beat that threat with the incredible urgency that it demands. The very future of Iraq depends on choices that will be made in the next days and weeks." Washington, which withdrew its troops from Iraq in 2011 after an occupation that followed the 2003 invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, has been struggling to help Maliki's administration contain a Sunni insurgency led by ISIL, an al Qaeda offshoot which seized northern cities this month.

PRESSURE ON MALIKI

Washington is worried Maliki and fellow Shi'ites who have won U.S.-backed elections have worsened the insurgency by alienating moderate Sunnis who once fought al Qaeda but have now joined the ISIL revolt. While Washington has been careful not to say publicly it wants Maliki to step aside, Iraqi officials say such a message was delivered behind the scenes.There was little small talk when Kerry met Maliki, the two men seated in chairs in a room with other officials.The meeting lasted one hour and 40 minutes, after which Kerry was escorted to his car by Iraq's Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari. As Kerry got in, he said: "That was good."In Washington, officials said Iraq has given assurances to the United States that the special operations forces Obama has ordered into the country will be shielded from possible prosecution in Iraqi courts.The Obama administration has said its decision not to leave a residual U.S. force in Iraq in 2011 stemmed from difficulty in getting a deal from Iraqi leaders to keep American troops from being tried in local courts.Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Washington on Sunday of trying to regain control of the country it once occupied - a charge Kerry denied.Iraqis are due to form a new government after an election in April. Maliki's list won the most seats in parliament but would still require allies to secure a majority.Senior Iraqi politicians, including at least one member of Maliki's own ruling list, have told Reuters that the message that Washington would be open to Maliki leaving power has been delivered in diplomatic language to Iraqi leaders.Recent meetings between Maliki and American officials have been described as tense. According to a Western diplomat briefed on the conversations by someone attending the meetings, U.S. diplomats have informed Maliki he should accept leaving if he cannot gather a majority in parliament for a third term. U.S. officials have contested that such a message was delivered.A close ally of Maliki has described him as having grown bitter toward the Americans in recent days over their failure to provide strong military support.The president of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, which has seized on the chaos to expand its northern territory to include the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, blamed Maliki's "wrong policies" for the turn of events and joined calls for him to quit.Massoud Barzani said Iraq was falling apart and reiterated a threat to hold a referendum on independence from the rest of the country."The time is now for the Kurdish people to determine their future," Barzani said in an interview with CNN. "We are living in an Iraq that is completely different from the Iraq of two weeks ago."

IRANIAN ACCUSATION

Jordanian army sources said Jordan's troops had been put in a state of alert in recent days along the 181-km (112-mile) border with Iraq, redeploying in some areas as part of steps to ward off "any potential or perceived security threats".The Jordan border post was in the hands of Sunni tribesmen after government troops fled. An Iraqi tribal figure said there was a chance it would soon be passed to control of the militants, who seized the nearby crossing to Syria on the Damascus-Baghdad highway on Sunday.He said he was mediating with ISIL in a "bid to spare blood and make things safer for the employees of the crossing. We are receiving positive messages from the militants."The need to battle the Sunni insurgency has put the United States on the same side as its enemy of 35 years, Iran, which has close ties to the Shi'ite parties that came to power in Baghdad after U.S. forces toppled Saddam.However, Iran's supreme leader made clear on Sunday that a rapprochement would not be easy."We are strongly opposed to U.S. and other intervention in Iraq," IRNA news agency quoted Khamenei as saying. "We don’t approve of it as we believe the Iraqi government, nation and religious authorities are capable of ending the sedition."Some Iraqi analysts in Baghdad interpreted Khamenei's comments as a warning to the United States to stay out of the process of selecting any successor to Maliki.(Additional by Suleiman al-Khalidi in Amman, Isabel Coles in Arbil and Phil Stewart in Washington; Writing by Oliver Holmes and Will Dunham; Editing by Peter Graff, Alastair Macdonald, Philippa Fletcher and Mohammad Zargham)

EU to urge more 'inclusive' Iraqi politics
Today @ 11:21-JUNE 23,14-By EUOBSERVER

EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg Monday are to call on Iraqi PM Maliki to be more "inclusive" in his politics, after his Shia Muslim faction helped cause the new crisis by locking Sunni Muslims out of power. Britain said the EU will seek new ways to help Lebanon and Jordan.

EU threatens more Russia sanctions, prepares to sign Ukraine pact
23.06.14 @ 18:00-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman


BRUSSELS - EU countries have threatened to impose more sanctions on Russia if it does not help to stop violence in the run-up to the Ukraine treaty signature on Friday (27 June).Foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday endorsed Ukraine’s unilateral ceasefire and urged Russia to “adopt effective measures to stop the continued flow of illegal fighters, arms and equipment over the border into Ukraine, [and] to use its influence on the separatists to stop the violence and lay down their arms”.They said further “targeted measures … can be taken should events in eastern Ukraine so require”.Dutch FM Frans Timmermans and his British counterpart, William Hague, noted that EU leaders will decide on sanctions at the summit on Thursday and Friday.Hague said “the response of Russia to the peace plan that [Ukrainian] President Poroshenko has put forward will be instrumental to the calculations of the European Union”.French FM Laurent Fabius added the French and German leaders phoned Russia’s Vladimir Putin over the weekend to urge action “in the coming days”.EU countries on Monday completed legal preparations to sign a free trade treaty with Poroshenko in Brussels on Friday and to implement it without waiting for formal ratification in the 28 capitals.They said Ukraine can pass to the second stage of talks on visa-free travel.They agreed to launch a two-year long EU mission to train Ukrainian police and gendarmes this summer.They also banned imports from Crimea, a Ukrainian region annexed by Russia in March, unless they have Ukrainian customs stamps. The ban, which takes effect on 25 June, includes a prohibition on “financial and insurance services related to the import of such goods”.Ukraine’s new foreign minister, Pavlo Klimkin, attended the Luxembourg meeting.He said “it was very important for me, personally, to hear such complete support from the [EU] ministers”.With Russia threatening to impose trade restrictions on Ukraine after it signs the EU pact, he noted that access to the EU single market will mean “more jobs, not just in agriculture, or IT, but also in industry, where EU investment should come to Ukraine”.With Russia having also cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in a price dispute, Klimkin said Ukraine will continue to push for a market price and for contractual “guarantees” that any new price will stay in place.

Red carpet

It is unclear whether the EU’s “targeted measures” refer to more names on the Russia blacklist, or triggering so-called “stage three” economic sanctions against Russian high-tech, energy, and banking sectors.The European Commission has finalised the sanctions package, which include what one diplomat called "hard, medium, and soft" options in each of the three areas.Some countries, including Austria, Germany, Italy, and Spain, are wary of going ahead.For his part, Sweden’s Carl Bildt told press: “It doesn’t matter whether you call it stage 2.9, 3.2, or 2.2, the important thing is that if Russia continues with destabilisation measures, then we will continue with our measures”.The EU is currently considering whether to cancel a summit with Putin due in December. But in the meantime, Austria has opted to invite the Russian leader to Vienna on Wednesday to mend fences.Asked if the invitation is a sign of European disunity, Bildt said Sweden would not welcome Putin at this time because he “is trying to split the European Union … that’s what the Russians always do when they are in a cornered position”.In a further sign of Russia-wariness, a senior EU diplomat told EUobserver some EU states had wanted the police training mission to reform Ukraine’s military and intelligence services. But the idea did not fly because “we want to convey the message to Russia that we’re not getting mixed up in any military operations there ... to take military measures now would be seen as a bellicose act by Russia”.He added that some member states think the Crimea ban is a bad move.“I think we’re going to see it challenged in the EU court and I think there’s a good chance we’ll lose … If you are, say, a chocolate-maker in Crimea, you would be thinking: ‘Why am I being punished? None of this is my fault’.”Asked if he thinks Putin will escalate the Ukraine conflict this week as a price tag for the treaty signature, the diplomat said: “Nobody can predict Putin's actions. I think he had a plan in the beginning, but I’m pretty sure that he is improvising at this stage”.

Centre-right to strike deal with centre-left on Juncker, Schulz
Today @ 09:20-JUNE 23,14-EUOBSERVER-By Valentina Pop


BRUSSELS - A meeting of Socialist leaders in Paris on Saturday (21 June) has endorsed Juncker for the commission top job, with the expectation that Martin Schulz stays on as European Parliament chief and the Italian foreign minister, a woman, may get the foreign affairs post to succeed Catherine Ashton.French President Francois Hollande, the host of the meeting, said that left-wing leaders "respect" the right of the largest group in the European Parliament (EPP) to nominate a candidate for the EU commission presidency, "in this case Mr Juncker".Present at the meeting were the Prime Ministers of Italy, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Malta, Romania and Slovakia. The Paris mini-summit is a response to a similar meeting of centre-right leaders including Britain's David Cameron and Germany's Angela Merkel in Sweden earlier this month.Schulz, who also took part in the Paris meeting, told reporters he would formally present his candidature for the parliament presidency.He may be confirmed as Parliament chief in the first week of July in Strasbourg, if all the pieces fall into place later this week when EU leaders meet to discuss the top posts.Schulz said he was "quite optimistic" that EU leaders would reach a deal.Britain's David Cameron meanwhile has not backed down from his opposition to Juncker and said he will trigger a vote in the EU council where Juncker needs to gather a 'qualified majority'.Britain alone cannot block him and would need at least one other big state to oppose or abstain from the vote, along with Sweden, Netherlands and Hungary who have signalled scepticism in the past.Quick deal in the EP.Meanwhile, in the European Parliament, the centre-right European People's Party is willing to back a Socialist as head of the European Parliament for two and half years, followed by an EPP president for the remaining half of the mandate.A similar arrangement has been in place for the last eight years.This could clear the way for Schulz - the Spitzenkandidat who came in second - to head the EP while Juncker, the EPP top candidate, gets the commission.Speaking to EUobserver, Bavarian centre-right leader Manfred Weber, who is leading negotiations, said he wants a quick deal with the Socialists who are "our first choice as partners"."The European elections were at the end of May. We now have late June. We want to get to work as quickly as possible following the constitution of the new Parliament in the first week of July, to be able to deliver real solutions for our citizens," Weber said.He refused to use the term "grand coalition", but indicated that a "stable majority" with the Socialists is the only way to go forward after the result of the 25 May elections." The EPP Group wants to make sure the next European Commission is a commission of reform, working out a reform agenda for the next term. Based on these proposals we will seek a majority in parliament," Weber said.He indicated he is in favour of the commission's 28 portfolios being reshuffled, possibly into "clusters" focused on the main topics and junior commissioners underneath."The work of the European Commission has to be organised in an efficient manner, and it must be more coherent. We need to prevent a situation in which the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. It makes sense to work towards a better co-operation of different commission portfolios," Weber said.As for the German commissioner, Guenther Oettinger, a member of Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats, Weber said he is "doing an excellent job as commissioner for energy".The 41-year old Weber was elected chairman of the centre-right European People's Party 221-strong group in the European Parliament. His election was non-controversial, with his predecessor - Frenchman Joseph Daul - already nominating him before the elections, one source told this website."They needed a 'non-German' German," the source added, explaining that Weber is a member of the smaller Christian-Social Union, the Bavarian sister party of Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats.The CSU only managed to send five MEPs the new Parliament, down from eight in 2009, while the CDU sent 29. Weber, a former justice and home affairs expert in the previous EP, is considered the most centrist of his colleagues.

Nato says Russia funding anti-shale NGOs
20.06.14 @ 09:29-By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSEVER


BRUSSELS - Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen has accused Russia of funding NGOs which oppose shale gas.He made the controversial statement in a Q and A session at Chatham House, a London-based think tank, on Thursday (19 June).“I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations – environmental organisations working against shale gas – to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas. At least that’s my interpretation and it adds a new aspect to that information campaign,” he said.He noted the EU should support the construction of a new gas pipeline to the Caspian sea, bypassing Russia.He also said the EU should complete energy market liberalisation so that “no one single energy supplier can blackmail any one single nation” in future, alluding to Russian gas supplier Gazprom.Nato officials later told media the views on shale are Rasmussen’s own and do not reflect the alliance’s official position, but it published an audio file of his Chatham House remarks on its website.Rasmussen visited London in preparation for a Nato summit in Wales in September.He said in his Chatham House speech that Russia’s “aggression” against Ukraine is part of a “turning point in history” after the end of the Cold War.He urged EU countries to follow the example of Poland, Romania, and the Baltic states in boosting defence spending to 2 percent of national GDP.He also said in the Q and A portion there is “a new build-up” of Russian forces on the Ukraine border in what amounts to keeping “an option open to intervene further in Ukraine”.He noted that if Russia openly invades its neighbour, it would trigger “deeper, broader, more profound economic sanctions”, but he ruled out a Nato military response saying Nato is “focused on the defence of our allies [members].”Environmental groups ridiculed Rasmussen’s shale remarks.“The idea we’re puppets of [Russian leader] Putin is so preposterous that you have to wonder what they’re smoking over at Nato HQ,” a Greenpeace spokesman said.A Friends of the Earth spokesman noted, in an ironic reference to British reluctance to invest in renewable sources, that: “Perhaps the Russians are worried about our huge wind and solar potential, and have infiltrated the UK government.”Dedicated anti-shale groups, such as Frack Off and Rising Tide, said their “grassroots” movements depend on ordinary people’s concerns.The US is the global leader in shale oil and gas extraction, which relies on fracking - blasting a cocktail of water and chemicals into underground shale deposits.Green groups say fracking can cause ground subsidence and pollute groundwater.They also say shale development will “lock” industrialised states into fossil fuel use instead of cleaner energy.According to US statistics, the Baltic states, France, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and the UK have the largest shale reserves in Europe.Poland is leading the way in Europe. It has drilled more than 60 exploratory wells and its environment minister, Maciej Grabowski, recently said commercial extraction could begin in Pomerania, on the Baltic Sea coast, by the end of 2014.A 2013 US study into shale underlined the importance of local geology, however.The 2013 survey downgraded its 2011 estimate of available shale in Poland’s Lubmin basin from 44 trillion cubic feet to 9 trillion due to geological problems discovered on the road to extraction.It downgraded Norway’s available shale from 83 trillion cubic feet to zero.
