EU regional projects see 'encouraging' shift in focus-10.10.14 @ 09:30-By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - As he finishes up his mandate as EU regional affairs commissioner, Johannes Hahn says his "legacy" is getting member states to spend money on the real economy rather than hulking infrastructure projects.Under his watch, rules governing how regional aid money - running to €325 billion between 2014-2020 - is spent were given a shake-up to encourage projects in line with the EU's long-term economic goals.Adopted at the end of December, the new rules have already resulted in a big decrease in spending on traditional infrastructure - such as roads - and a leap in spending on green and ICT projects."We see a clear shift from investment in infrastructure towards stimulation of the "real" economy," Hahn told this website, adding that this is "encouraging"."I like to think [of this] as a legacy of my time as commissioner for this policy."Analysis by late September of the plans of various regions have showed that there was a 22 percent rise in spending (to €125bn) on projects dedicated to research & development, innovation, ICT, small businesses, and low-carbon economy compared to the last budget cycle (2007-2013).Spending on transport and other major infrastructure has sunk by 21 pecent, to €60bn, while member states such as Belgium, Croatia, Italy, Portugal, and the UK have made helping small companies a priority.On energy security and green projects specifically, the chunk of aid money has more than doubled to €38 billion.
Red tape - also in the member states
Hahn notes that while the more stringent rules mean that getting spending programmes agreed is more time-consuming, the "insistence" on focussing on what results will be achieved rather than just whether money will be spent is "very valuable"."Member states will have to spell out what they want to achieve and by when, and be monitored whether those results are there," he says.And while he admits that the rules are still complicated - or not simplified "as much as we might have wished" - leading to grumbling by some local authorities, he says member states themselves are just as much to blame."Many layers of red tape come from member states themselves – what we call 'gold-plating' and it is too easy to blame this on the so-called 'Brussels bureaucracy '."On tying funds to good economic governance - a controversial innovation to the rules - Hahn said stopping EU aid because a member state is fiscally misbehaving would be a "last resort", but underlines that "investments will deliver more in the context of budgetary discipline"."We are not talking about punishment but rather about an incentive to maintain financial and budgetary discipline so that funds can deliver for citizens."The Austrian politician, who is due to take over the European neighbourhood policy dossier from November, declines to give advice to his successor candidate, Romania's Corina Cretu.But he does suggest that, in future, GDP - or how rich a region is - should not be the only criteria for determining whether it should qualify for EU money."Other measures such as innovation performance could be taken into account," he says, indicating that being a forward-looking region with clever ideas should be enough for a shot at EU aid.
MEPs earn millions on the side-13.10.14 @ 09:57-EUOBSERVER-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - Renato Soru is a wealthy man. In 2000 he made it onto the Forbes list of world billionaires, and a year later the US magazine ran a profile on him and his Milan-based Internet company Tiscali, which was "snatching up competitors in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the Czech Republic."Fast-forward to 2014. Soru is still CEO of Tiscali, earning over €10,000 a month, according to his declaration of financial interests filed as a Socialist MEP.He is not alone in listing outside activities that come on top of the €8,000 basic salary that MEPs receive monthly as well as up to €11,000 in travel and housing allowances.According to a searchable database launched Monday (13 October) by Transparency International, over half of MEPs have listed outside activities in their declarations of financial interests.Jointly they earn between €5.8 and €18.3 million a year on top of their MEP salaries, TI has found.Their activities are not illegal, but they raise questions about potential conflicts of interests. Under beefed-up ethics rules starting with the new Parliament, MEPs had to fill out their declarations right from the start, in an electronic format.The categories of revenue however only give an indicative image of how much MEPs earn outside the Parliament, with the highest category being €10,000 or more.While 12 MEPs have listed this category, 45 others could also have combined revenues of over €10,000 as they list several activities in the lower brackets.Along with Soru, there is a Romanian centre-right MEP, Daniel Buda, who earns over €10,000 a month as a notary and who also lists that he owns 179 sheep.Liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt is also high up in the ranking, with revenues above €10,000 a month as a member of the board of directors of a Belgian investment company, Sofina.He also earns between €1,000 and €5,000 a month for being a member of the board of an oil-and-gas company, Exmar, for chairing the board of the European Institute of Public Administration, respectively.French centre-right MEP Rachida Dati, who was overheard on open microphones complaining to a friend how bored she is in the EP, also scoops another €10,000 or more from her activity as a lawyer.An MEP who stands out in terms of number of outside activities is French Liberal Nathalie Griesbeck, who lists 68 different board memberships in the medical sector, all in the lowest category (€0-500/month), meaning that she could have extra revenues anywhere between €0 and €33,433 a month.Transparency International also found MEPs in breach of the Parliament' code of conduct: seven declarations are completely blank, one MEP submitted his declaration three months past the deadline, and 46 declarations indicate an income in the previous 3 years of less than €1,000 a month.Eight of those were also MEPs in the previous parliament, who should have declared their previous mandate."Listing vague terms such as 'director', 'consultant', 'freelancer', 'manager' or abbreviations such as 'RvC FMO' or 'ASDCAM', does not allow for meaningful monitoring of their potential conflicts of interest," Transparency International notes.The watchdog says more detailed information in the declarations is needed "to allow a meaningful monitoring of potential conflicts of interest" and a revision of the financial thresholds which end with "€10,000 or more".
France wants billions from EU's 'New Deal'-13.10.14 @ 09:30-EUOBSERVER-By Nikolaj Nielsen and Benjamin Fox
BRUSSELS - France wants €10 billion a year from the EU’s “New Deal” fund, amid warnings that its budget profligacy could harm the “credibility” of EU financial rules.French economy minister Emmanuel Macron mentioned the figure in an interview with the Journal du dimanche on Sunday (12 October).Referring to the European Commission’s plans to create a new investment fund, he said: “Europe needs a New Deal: France is committed to pursuing and even intensifying its reforms; the European Union is announcing a major relaunch plan through €300 billion of investments”.He added: “That would represent about €10 billion of extra investment in France each year”.The socialist government under President Francois Hollande has not managed to pull the country out of the financial doldrums.Since Hollande took over in 2012, France has not registered two consecutive quarters of economic growth and recorded zero progress in the first six months of 2014.Its debt pile is around 95 percent of GDP, above the 60 percent limit set out in the EU's stability and growth pact.The French government last week also said it has abandoned attempts to meet the EU’s 3 percent rule on budget deficits in the near future.Its 2015 budget plan is projected to result in a 4.3 percent deficit in 2015, and the economy is not forecast to reach the 3 percent threshold until 2017.In an additional blow, Credit rating agency Standard and Poor's last week dropped France's outlook to “negative” and predicted a deficit of 4.1 percent between 2014 and 2017.Speaking at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington DC on Friday (10 October), the Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who also chairs the 18-member group of eurozone finance ministers, described the new budget plans as "simply not good enough" and "too far off target".Left unchanged they would "damage the credibility of the pact", he said, adding that "the ball is in the court of the French to look at those figures and see what more can be done". Last year, the European Commission agreed to give France an extra two years to meet the benchmarks. Under the bloc's revised economic governance rules, all countries must submit their budget plans to the EU executive in October.The commission then has the power to reject budget proposals and demand further spending cuts or tax rises to plug revenue gaps.Dijsselbloem said it is "too early to say" whether the commission should reject the French budget, although he indicated that France should not be given the same lenient treatment a second time."The question is how was that period of time used … and to be quite open, looking back at that period it was not used and I don't think we should do that again," he said, in reference to the decision to grant a two-year extension.For its part, Paris has argued that making additional cuts on top of the €50 billion of savings included in the draft budget would deepen the country's economic woes.Dijsselbloem, together with German finance minister Wolfgang Schaueble and other northern European ministers, has been critical of the slow pace of reform in France and Italy, arguing that increasing labour market flexibility and reforming pension and welfare systems are a prerequisite for economic recovery."The eurozone must get its act together," said Dijsselbloem, adding that "no monetary or fiscal stimulus can substitute for making economies more competitive".

EU worried by budget cuts on energy watchdogs-13.10.14 @ 18:30-EUOBSERVER-By Peter Teffer
Brussels - The European Commission is worried that in some of the EU's member states, energy watchdogs lack the staff and resources to properly do their job.It is also concerned about the independence of some national watchdogs.In its report Progress towards completing the Internal Energy Market, published on Monday (13 October), the EU's governing body notes that “in some countries the regulators appear to be structurally under-resourced”.The commission hopes to complete the so-called internal energy market by the end of the year. Monitoring electricity prices and investigating competition will still be done on a national level, by the national regulators.In the annex of the report, the commission discusses the staff and budget of each member state's regulator. It expresses its worry on the budgetary resources of the watchdogs in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia and France.In Bulgaria, the energy regulator is part of a larger agency, the SEWRC, which has a budget of about €1.86 million. According to the commission, that “does not allow SEWRC to build up the stable and high quality staff that is demanded to carry out its legal tasks”.The Estonian Competition Authority, which monitors the energy market but also has other tasks, has a budget of €1.83 million and the commission “questions” if this is enough “to carry out its regulatory tasks”.The Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority employs only 11 people. Its “lack of resources is a source of concern”.The report does not state how large the staff and the budget of an energy watchdog should be to be effective.
"There is not an absolute benchmark on the numbers of staff or the budget that an NRA [national regulatory authority] should have", a spokesperson for the commission told EUobserver by e-mail.According to EU law, the authorities should receive "adequate human and financial resources to carry out its duties".In her e-mailed statement, the commission spokesperson expressed the organisation's "general concern … that the tasks of NRAs have increased substantially in recent years … but that their resources and budgets have not always increased accordingly."Take France for example. Its French National Regulatory Authority has received additional tasks in recent years, yet had its budget reduced from €19.3 million in 2013 to €18.9 million this year. The reduction worries the commission, but in absolute terms, it is still one of the higher budgets.As a percentage of total government budget however, the commission certainly has a point.France spends 0.002 percent of its budget on its national energy regulator, making it one of the lowest in the EU.But it still seems somewhat arbitrary why some countries receive a scolding where others did not.Just like France, Germany spends 0.002 percent of its government budget on energy market monitoring. But the commission does not raise any worries on the German side.The Netherlands (0.003 percent), Denmark (0.004 percent), Poland (0.005 percent) and Sweden (0.005 percent), have only a slightly higher proportion of their budgets appropriated to monitoring the energy market, but also received no reprimand.Meanwhile, the commission did not scold France as explicitly as it did the others.Instead, it wrote that it was the French authority itself that “expressed once more serious concerns about the situation as this puts at risk the fulfilment of its tasks”.The report points out that the “staff limit will decrease in 2014 to 130, thus reinforcing the pressure on the resources of the regulator.”Because the report does not always mention which portion of the broader tasked regulators were devoted to energy, it is difficult to compare their budgets and staffing with other member states.But even with that in mind, it's still interesting to note that very similar scoring countries receive different grades.Excluding the member states which did not provide data, France is the country with proportionally the lowest number of regulator employees. Its 130 staff translates to 2 employees for every million of its citizens.But is that much worse than Italy? The Italian National Energy and Water Service Regulatory Authority had a staff of 172 – 3 employees for every million – while also having to monitor Italy's water service.Five or 6 employees per million (The Netherlands and Belgium, respectively) was apparently sufficient to quell the commissions worries (some countries, like Austria, have as much as 20 employees per million)The European Commission also has some worries about the Bulgarian, Croatian and Slovakian regulator's independence.On the EU's newest member state, the report says: “Competition in Croatia’s energy market is still very limited. Market opening is needed to improve the investment climate and create incentives for new entrants.”Slovakia has not sufficiently converted the so-called Third Energy Package, a European directive on electricity and gas markets, into national law.“The laws transposing the Directives of the Third Energy Package do not fully ensure that URSO [Slovakia's Regulatory Office for Network Industries] can take autonomous decision independently from the Ministry and the State Inspection and do not foresee that decisions taken be URSO have to be fully reasoned and justified.”The report urged Bulgaria to be more transparent about the way it appoints the chairperson of the national energy regulator, the SEWRC.“The fact that SEWRC's Chairpersons changed four times in the course of 2013, raises concerns about the independence, professional stability and continuity of the management of the regulator”, it said.

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.

10/13/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Synod turns its attention to same-sex couples-The Synod at work-Cardinal Erdő presents the “relatio post disceptationem”. There are cases of homosexual unions “in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners.” “Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community”Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-Recognizing the “positive elements”, even in “imperfect forms” of family setup, including pre-marital cohabitation; caring for “wounded families” (separated/divorced couples) through “courageous pastoral choices”; rediscovering “the need to respect the dignity of the person in the moral evaluation of the methods of birth control” mentioned in Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae encyclical. These are some of the points covered in the relatio post disceptationem, the speech delivered this morning by the Synod’s Relator General, Cardinal Peter Erdő. Today the second week of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family (5-19 October) begins, with the circuli minores (different language groups) working on the amendment of the text ahead of the relatio synodi that Synod Fathers will vote on, on Saturday 18 October. Speaking about the big question of the administration of communion to remarried divorcees, the Archbishop of Budapest highlighted that there is an open debate between those who oppose it and those who are in favour of the Church allowing it after a period of penance. The relatio post disceptationem also showed an openness to gay people who “have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community and offer “precious support” to partners whom they are united to.In the first part of the relatio, the president of the Hungarian Bishop’s Conference listed a series of questions affecting the family on the inside and on the outside: individualism, loneliness, emotional immaturity, polygamy, mixed marriages, teenage mums, low birth rates, increased divorce rates, domestic violence against women, the fragility of children, migration and war.In the second part of the speech, Erdő recalled that “Jesus Himself, referring to the primordial plan for the human couple, reaffirms the indissoluble union between man and woman.” He then drew a comparison –presented by Vienna’s Archbishop Christoph Schönborn in the Synod hall – between the Second Vatican Council document on religious freedom Lumen Gentium, which affirms that “many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside” the Catholic Church (paragraph 17) and “the possibility of recognizing positive elements even the imperfect forms that may be found outside this nuptial situation, which are in any case ordered in relation to it.” The cardinal stressed that the Church “must accompany her most fragile sons and daughters, marked by wounded and lost love, with attention and care, restoring trust and hope to them like the light of a beacon in a port, or a torch carried among the people” (paragraph 23).The third part of the speech dealt with “some of the more urgent pastoral needs to be entrusted to being made concrete in the individual local Churches, in communion cum Petro et sub Petro.” “A new sensitivity in today’s pastoral consists in grasping the positive reality of civil weddings and, having pointed out our differences, of cohabitation” (paragraph 36). The Archbishop of Budapest underlined, for example, that in some “countries common-law marriages are very numerous, not because of a rejection of Christian values as regards the family and matrimony, but, above all, because getting married is a luxury, so that material poverty encourages people to live in common-law marriages.“When Erdő talked about “caring for wounded families (the separated, the divorced who have not remarried, the divorced who have remarried)” he hastened to stress that “what rang out clearly in the Synod was the necessity for courageous pastoral choices.” The Hungarian cardinal underlined that “many” Synod Fathers called for “the speeding-up of the procedure” of marriage annulments. Erdő’s next comment about remarried divorcees was carefully worded: “As regards the possibility of partaking of the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist, some argued in favour of the present regulations because of their theological foundation, others were in favour of a greater opening on very precise conditions when dealing with situations that cannot be resolved without creating new injustices and suffering. For some, partaking of the sacraments might occur were it preceded by a penitential path – under the responsibility of the diocesan bishop –, and with a clear undertaking in favor of the children. This would not be a general possibility, but the fruit of a discernment applied on a case-by-case basis, according to a law of gradualness, that takes into consideration the distinction between state of sin, state of grace and the attenuating circumstances” (paragraph 47). “Suggesting limiting themselves to only “spiritual communion” was questioned by more than a few Synod Fathers: if spiritual communion is possible, why not allow them to partake in the sacrament?”Homosexuals,” Erdő said, “have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community:are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a fraternal space in our communities? (paragraph 50). “Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions it has to be noted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners. Furthermore, the Church pays special attention to the children who live with couples of the same sex, emphasizing that the needs and rights of the little ones must always be given priority” (paragraph 52).
On the subject of “the transmission of life and the challenge of the declining birthrate”, the Relator General affirmed that “we should go back to the message of the Encyclical Humanae Vitae of Paul VI, which underlines the need to respect the dignity of the person in the moral evaluation of the methods of birth control” (paragraph 54).The discussions will continue at the Ordinary Synod that will run from 4 to 25 October 2015. At the beginning of today’s session, the Secretary of the Synod, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, said that this second phase of proceedings will have a longer title than was originally envisaged: “The vocation and mission of the family in the church and the modern world”.
10/13/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Mgr. Forte: Guaranteeing gay people’s rights is a matter of respect-Bruno Forte-But the term “marriage” only refers to a union between a man and a woman. “Natural law” gives the right idea but is a term not many understand. The monsignor points to the similarities between the Synod and the Second Vatican Council-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-“The Church does not believe that the term “family” can be used to refer both to a union between a man and a woman that is open to procreation and same-sex union. Having said this, it seems obvious to me that humans have different experiences have rights that must all be protected. The issue here therefore, is not equating the two in all senses, including in terminological terms. Naturally, this does not mean that we should rule out looking for a way to describe the rights of people living in same-sex unions. It is a question – I think – of being civilized and respecting people’s dignity.” This is according to Mgr. Bruno Forte, the Synod’s Special Secretary, who commented on the relatio post disceptationem, the summary of the Synod’s first week of discussions, presented today by Cardinal Peter Erdő. His comment was in response to a question on legislation that legally protects cohabiting gay couples and was made during the daily briefing with journalists.The Hungarian cardinal who gave the floor to Mgr. Forte because, he said, “he who wrote the text must know what it is talking about,” added that “the subject came up in the free discussions too and some said it seems to have been missed out in these paragraphs, although at one point there is a clearer reference to the fact that there are also disordered forms of cohabitation” and the circuli minores – the language groups the bishops have been split into – “are to discuss the issue this week and “later on”. The groups will also be making amendments to the text presented today.On this note, Mgr. Forte answered a question about whether the reference to the “seed of the Word” and “elements of sanctification and of truth” that are also to be “found outside” traditional marriage also applies to gay cohabitation and common-law marriages. “I think the document intends to find positive aspects wherever these are to be found and they do exist of course. Rejecting something is easy but recognizing and giving value to all that is positive, even when dealing with these kinds of experiences, I think is an exercise in intellectual honesty and spiritual charity.” During the course of today’s briefing, Mgr. Forte defined the Synod’s quandary as “work in progress” and underlined that from the end of the Extraordinary Synod on 19 October to the start of the Ordinary Synod on 5 October 2015, bishops from all over the world will have “to listen to the laity” in their respective dioceses: “Sometimes our laity is more clerical than our priests and this will not do. What I say to laypersons is this: be protagonists! I expect the laypersons to be protagonists who search for real solutions with their head held high.” In answer to a question about why today’s relation lacked any reference to the term “natural law”, Mgr. Forte said: “we need to use a language that is easy to understand and although ‘natural law’ expresses a crucial idea, it is the kind of term most people would not understand.” A number of Synod Fathers evoked the spirit of the Second Vatican Council during the discussions which took place following the presentation of the relatio today. During the debate, Synod participants voiced their “criticisms” and “asked for further explanations” and “clarifications”, Erdő said. “Some Fathers,” Mgr. Forte added, said it was like listening to the spirit of the Gaudium et spes, the Church that looks kindly upon the world, making the expectations and the suffering of today’s men and women its own.” The Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Louis Antonio Tagle who is an expert on the history of the Council, recalled that the Synod would conclude with the ceremony for the beatification of Paul VI, the Pope who brought the Council to a close, portraying a Church that was “not self-absorbed but missionary; a Church that was able to listen and converse with the world.” Chilean cardinal Ricardo Ezzati Andrello also spoke during the briefing that was moderated by the Vatican spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi.
10/13/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Family: The Synod’s new approach-The Synod and families in difficulty-An analysis of the "relatio post disceptationem", Cardinal Erdő’s summary of what was discussed in the first week of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family. The focus was on families facing difficult situations and the Church’s willingness to recognize the positive elements of “imperfect forms” of common-law marriages and cohabitation-ANDREA TORNIELLI
vatican city-Some interesting aspects emerge in the relatio post disceptationem, the summary of the Synod’s first week of discussions presented this morning by Cardinal Peter Erdő. First of all, it is clear evidence that the daily briefings organised by the Holy See Press Office faithfully echoed what was actually said during the discussions. For example, the Synod Fathers obviously did discuss the problems faced by “wounded” families and families in “irregular situations”. Although this was not the only issue the Synod focused its attention on, it obviously is a key subject, meaning the media did not just make it up. Meanwhile, claims that Cardinal Walter Kasper’s proposal about the possibility of allowing remarried divorcees to take communion under certain conditions was rejected by practically all Synod participants seem to hold no water.The first thing to point out is the positive outlook and approach that are characterizing the Synod. This echoes the words the young Fr. Battista Montini used in 1929. In a piece for Azione Fucina magazine, Montini wrote that a Christian looks at the world “not as an abyss of perdition but, rather, as a field for the harvest". “Despite the many signs of crisis in the institution of the family in various contexts of the “global village”, the desire for family remains alive, especially among the young, and is at the root of the Church’s need to proclaim tirelessly and with profound conviction the “Gospel of the family” entrusted to her with the revelation of God’s love in Jesus Christ,” the relatio post disceptationem reads. What is striking is that the Synod Fathers addressed not just the “exasperated individualism” of contemporary culture but also the socio-economic difficulties that often act as an obstacle to marriage or steer a couple towards divorce. They did so adopting a realistic approach.The relatio post disceptationem is now going to be discussed in the circuli minores, the different language groups the bishops have been split into. Erdő dedicated a significant part of his summary to “gradualness” in “divine paedagogy”. How should the Church accompany those whose marriage has failed? Similarly to what the Second Vatican Council did with other Christian denominations and religions, the relatio mentions the possibility of recognition “positive elements” “even in the imperfect forms that may be found outside this nuptial situation,” such as common-law marriage and cohabitation. Indeed, when common-law marriages “reach a notable level of stability” and are “characterized by deep affection” and responsibility toward offspring, they “may be seen as a germ to be accompanied in development towards the sacrament of marriage.” As far as cohabitation is concerned, the relatio affirms that there is a growing number of cases in which cohabiting couples eventually decide to marry if they receive the right accompaniment and help.The relatio frequently highlights the inadequacy of a “merely theoretical approach” that is detached from people’s real problems. The role of pastors is not just to read out a set of principles and present doctrinal frameworks from on high, acting as cold messengers who pass on laws and canonical rules. Indeed, the evangelical truth touches the real and often wounded lives of people who have been through all sorts of different kinds of experiences. The Church must be able to make the message of God’s mercy ring out. A God who embraces and loves before he judges. So language is the first element of conversion.Erdő then affirmed: “What rang out clearly in the Synod was the necessity for courageous pastoral choices. Reconfirming forcefully the fidelity to the Gospel of the family, the Synod Fathers, felt the urgent need for new pastoral paths, that begin with the effective reality of familial fragilities, recognizing that they, more often than not, are more “endured” than freely chosen. But although participants did discuss these choices and the possibility of admitting couples in “irregular” situations to the sacraments, no one defended them as a right or suggested any easy shortcuts. “It is not wise to think of unique solutions or those inspired by a logic of “all or nothing”.” Cardinal Reinhard Marx recently summed up the Synod’s position as such: “Not for everybody nor for anyone”, meaning that possible solutions are to be considered on a case-by-case basis, by looking at each person’s story individually. The Church’s pastors are to achieve this through discernment and by accompanying each individual or couple. “Such discernment is indispensable for the separated and divorced.” Paragraph number 47 outlines the two positions that emerged during the debate over the administration of the sacraments to remarried divorcees: “Some argued in favour of the present regulations because of their theological foundation, others were in favour of a greater opening on very precise conditions when dealing with situations that cannot be resolved without creating new injustices and suffering. For some, partaking of the sacraments might occur were it preceded by a penitential path – under the responsibility of the diocesan bishop –, and with a clear undertaking in favour of the children. This would not be a general possibility, but the fruit of a discernment applied on a case-by-case basis, according to a law of gradualness, that takes into consideration the distinction between state of sin, state of grace and the attenuating circumstances.” Interestingly, “more than a few Synod Fathers asked themselves the following question: “If spiritual communion is possible, why not allow them to partake in the sacrament?”The most significant change in terms of approach and language was definitely seen in the part of the relatio that was dedicated to gay people and the Church’s attitude toward them. “Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community: are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a fraternal space in our communities?” the text reads. Although the Church remains firm in its refusal to equate same-sex unions to marriage between a man and a woman and to give into pressure – also from international organisations that condition people through funding – to introduce regulations inspired by “gender ideology”, the language used in the relatio is a first: “Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions it has to be noted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners.”Finally, it should be noted that despite certain predictions and declarations, Paul VI’s teaching in the Humanae Vitae is still believed to be applicable today and should be re-read, focusing on the need to respect the dignity of a person in the moral evaluation of birth control methods.There is no doubt then that the frank and free discussions, the “parrhesia” with which the Synod Fathers spoke and the humility with which they listened (as Pope Francis wanted), showed the attention all bishops gave to difficult family situations and also highlighted a number of possible approaches to meet the needs of those who are suffering due to their exclusion from the sacraments. This week discussions continue and at the end the Synod Fathers will vote on the final relatio synodi text which will act as a working document for local Churches ahead of the Ordinary Synod that is due to take place from 4 to 25 October, on the theme “The vocation and mission of the family in the church and the modern world”. This Synod is a long and open journey that is involving Christian communities more than ever before.
10/11/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Synod: “Circuli minores” set to work, everyone gets a say-The Extraordinary Synod is halfway through-Martin: no one will feel they have not had a chance to speak their mind. Moderators and relators have been nominated and the “relatio synodi” group is complete-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-Having concluded their general debate, bishops attending the Extraordinary Synod (5-19 October) are now moving into their different language discussion groups, the circoli minores. From Monday onwards, these groups will be working on the amendments to be made to the relatio post disceptationem that will be published Monday ahead of the final relatio synodi which Synod Fathers will vote on next Saturday. The Synod will conclude on Sunday and an Ordinary Synod on the Family is to follow in 2015. “No one will go away from these talks feeling that they have not had a chance to speak their mind,” said the Archbishop of Dublin, Mgr. Diarmuid Martin, during the daily briefing with journalists in the Vatican. He underlined that the debate is “open” and that the Church is reflecting on how it can develop its language and doctrine, whilst being a Church of truth and mercy at the same time.The general discussions ended yesterday afternoon with speeches by the “fraternal delegates” representing other Christian denominations. Yesterday afternoon the circuli minores also began “free discussions on a number of issues” that emerged during the general meeting, Vatican spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi said during the briefing. The circuli minores, martin said, “will examine [Monday’s] relatio text” and will suggest changes, as well as things to add and things to remove.” In the past, each group presented various prepositiones. The final document will “bring together everyone’s reflections and will be delivered to the Pope who will decide: the process continues.”The Pope has put the following in charge of preparing the relatio synodi: the relator general, Cardinal Peter Erdő, the special secretary, Mgr. Bruno Forte and secretary general, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, Cardinals Gianfranco Ravasi and Donald W. Wuerl (Washington), Mgr. Victor Manuel Fernandez, Mgr. Carlos Aguiar Retes (Mexico), Mgr. Peter Kang U-Il (Seoul) and the Superior General of the Jesuits, Fr. Adolfo Nicolas. “I don’t know why there is no African in the list,” Martin said responding to a journalist’s question during the briefing.Yesterday afternoon the circoli minores elected their moderators and relators: for the two French-speaking groups (“Gallicus”), Cardinals Sarah and Schoenborn were elected moderators and the Jesuit Dumortier and Mgr. Leonard relators; for the three English-speaking groups (“Anglicus”), Cardinals Burke and Napier and Mgr. Kurtz were elected moderators and Mgr. Dew, Martin and Brislin relators; for the two Italian-speaking groups Cardinals Filoni and Bagnasco were elected moderators and Mgrs. Menichelli and Fisichella relators; finally, for the Spanish group, Cardinals Robles Ortega and Sistach were elected moderators and Mgrs. Arroba Conde and Valenzuela Nuñez relators.“At the moment I would say that Monday’s relatio will focus on the differences that emerged,” Martin said. “I don’t think this Synod will lead to any conclusions, there are theological debates that have been going on for twenty years. But the Synod cannot just stop at repeating what was said years ago.” Many couples “are faithful, they love their children, but they are apparently unable to find the right language to express this” and “doctrine could be developed”. The Pope “was eager for no one to go away feeling that they have not been given the opportunity to speak their mind. And everyone has listened with great respect.” The debate so far has been “very open”, people “have spoken very clearly” and the Synod will also need “to present the minority opinion, not only the views of the majority.”“Few Catholics follow Church doctrine fully,” Martin said. “Parties will eventually agree on the fact that mercy and grace go together: we don’t have truth as dogma on the one side and mercy as the Church’s teaching on the other. But we need to find ways in which we can realistically combine the two and this is no simple task.”Martin recalled that pope Francis also spoke about the risk of falling into one of two extremes: rigourism on the one hand and laxism on the other. In response to a specific question on communion for remarried divorcees, Martin recalled that “there is a simple Orthodox position” that allows for this possibility, “but everyone, including Cardinal Kasper,” who spoke about the position of the Orthodox Church on this, “knows that the indissolubility principle is something the Catholic Church cannot change and one or two people have already told the Pope up front that he cannot change it either. The debate continues.”Martin said there are “celebrity issues” - in other words issues that have been hotly discussed in the media – that “feature” in the Synod but these should not lead the Synod off track. It is also addressing “daily pastoral care” and the Synod Fathers unanimously reject Catholic divorce.Pre-marital courses, particularly for young people and contraception (which is also mentioned in Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae encyclical) were among the other subjects discussed. Fr. Lombardi underlined that “all” speeches given by the fraternal delegates “stressed that the challenges and hopes centered around the family unit are common to all Christians.” During the briefing, Mrs. Duval-Poujol Valerie, a Baptist, emphasized that “the laity did not just play a symbolic role.” “I believe [next week] is going to be full of excitement,” she added.

EU considers military response in Africa on Ebola crisis-10.10.14 @ 09:30-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - EU institutions are analysing potential evacuation of EU citizens from Ebola-hit African states and military operations to restore security in the outbreak zone.The EU foreign service, in an internal paper discussed by EU countries’ ambassadors in Brussels on Thursday (9 October) - and seen by EUobserver - said: “The EU and MS [member states] have not yet designed an operational strategy making the best of all our collective assets”.It speaks of the “unprecedented nature of the crisis".But it notes the EU response to the "pandemic" so far has “obvious limitations” due to “inadequate operational [and] financing frameworks”.It adds that EU institutions already put forward options for “a co-ordinated EU mechanism” to evacuate infected health workers and for a “strategic airlift mechanism” for humanitarian aid, but it says member states’ “responses did not fully meet expectations”.The foreign service’s military staff has also carried out a “Strategic Military Estimate”.The estimate considers: “possible military responses from the most basic scenario of co-ordinating scarce assets in support of emergency response operators to the most complex and degraded scenarios, including evacuation of EU citizens or the conduct of military operations to contribute to maintaining/restoring safe and secure environment in a given area”.For the time being, the US is taking the lead on action in Liberia, while France and the UK are spearheading the response in their former colonial domains, Guinea and Sierra Leone, respectively.But the EU diplomatic corps wants member states to task it with drafting “a highly visible European response, mirroring the high profile assistance package implemented by the US”.It notes the “more exhaustive ‘EU comprehensive response framework’ … [and] proposals for decisions on specific new initiatives” could be tabled in time for an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg on 20 October and the EU summit in Brussels three days later.But Thursday's paper also put forward a set of "preliminary considerations" for collective action based on the EU's talks with the UN.The 10 options include: EU “support” for infected medical workers; strategic airlift capacities for an international logistics hub in Accra, Ghana; transport helicopters; air traffic control measures; sealift capacities; laboratories; and “other critical supplies (generators, vehicles, ambulances)”.It adds that there is a need for new “command and control arrangements” on the joint EU effort.The EU ambassadors also heard an oral presentation from Claus Sorensen, the head of the European Commission’s humanitarian aid department.One contact present at Thursday’s meeting said the Ebola threat will top the foreign ministers’ agenda, trumping even the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and the Ukraine crisis.“It’s an issue that is coming to the fore partly due to the case [of an infected nurse] in Spain”, a second EU source told this website.The nurse was on Friday described as being in a "stable" condition, AP reports.But she is the first person to contract the virus in Europe, after helping a Spanish priest who was infected in Africa and who later died in a Madrid hospital.A third EU contact said Ebola is already “an agenda item” for the summit later this month. But he added that climate change and energy security are still the “key topics”.“Let’s see how the situation develops”, he added.
US, UN leaders urge 'more robust' fight against Ebola-AFP-By Zoom Dosso-OCT 14,14-YAHOONEWS
Monrovia (AFP) - The US and UN leaders called for "more robust" international efforts to tackle Ebola, after medics in Liberia demanded danger money to treat patients in what officials termed the worst health crisis of modern times.The call from US President Barack Obama and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon came as doctors and nurses in Liberia, one of the worst-hit countries, went on strike to demand higher pay to care for Ebola patients there.Health care workers in west Africa are on the frontline of the Ebola outbreak -- branded by the World Health Organization as "the most severe acute public health emergency in modern times".The epidemic has killed more than 4,000 people this year, mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.The Liberian walkout came as Obama spoke with Ban about the need for greater international efforts to fight the epidemic, with at least two cases of contamination reported beyond west Africa, in the US and Europe.The two leaders called for "more robust commitments and rapid delivery of assistance by the international community", the White House said in a statement."Both leaders agreed that, given the threat posed by Ebola, at this crucial juncture members of the international community must redouble their resolve and commitment," the statement said.The president also called on member states to "support the UN appeal and to provide the personnel, equipment and supplies required to stop the epidemic at its source."Obama and his French counterpart Francois Hollande also issued a joint call for "stepped-up" global efforts to combat the disease.
- 'No-one taking care of us' -
In the face of panic that was "spreading faster than the virus", the WHO issued a stark warning over the crisis."I have never seen a health event threaten the very survival of societies and governments in already very poor countries," said WHO chief Margaret Chan in a statement delivered on her behalf at a Manila conference.Ninety-five Liberian health workers have died so far in the epidemic, and their surviving colleagues want pay commensurate to the acute risk of dealing with Ebola, which spreads through contact with bodily fluids and for which there is no vaccine or widely available treatment.In the Liberian capital Monrovia, a hospital patient quoted on local radio described scenes of desolation, with the sick deserted by striking staffers."We are at the Ebola Treatment Unit and no-one is taking care of us," the unnamed man said. "Last night several patients died. Those who can walk are trying to escape by climbing over the fence." Journalists have been banned from Liberia's Ebola clinics, making the situation there difficult to ascertain.The WHO's Chan has warned of "many more cases" to come for Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia without radical action by the international community.
- 'US must rethink approach' -
Both cases of contamination reported so far outside Africa -- in Spain last week and now in the United States -- have involved health workers who fell ill despite stringent safety protocols surrounding Ebola.
US health authorities said the United States must "rethink" its approach to Ebola after a female nurse in Texas contracted the tropical virus, in the first case of contamination on US soil and the second outside Africa. Health authorities said the nurse -- identified by local media as 26-year-old Nina Pham -- tested positive after caring for a Liberian Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, who died on Wednesday.The nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas is in isolation and said to be in stable condition.Experts still do not know exactly how the woman was infected, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said."We have to rethink the way we approach Ebola infection control because even a single infection is unacceptable, " said CDC director Tom Frieden.However, he gave few specifics about what precisely was going to change.Meanwhile, Canada announced it would begin testing an experimental vaccine, VSV-EBOV, on humans. The first results will be available in December, according to Health Minister Rona Ambrose.And European Union ministers called a meeting for Thursday to discuss screening travellers from west Africa, in line with steps taken by Britain, the United States and Canada.In Spain, a crisis cell set up when Madrid nurse Teresa Romero fell sick after caring for two missionaries with Ebola said the nurse remained in a "very serious condition".Fifteen other people are under observation in a Madrid hospital for symptoms of the disease, which include fever, diarrhoea, vomiting and bleeding.
US charity helps NKorea fight drug-resistant TB-Associated Press-By MATTHEW PENNINGTON-OCT 14,14-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite worsening U.S.-North Korean relations, an American charity is ramping up efforts against an epidemic of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the isolated country, where it says it is making inroads in fighting the deadly disease.The Eugene Bell Foundation travels to North Korea twice-a-year, bringing high-end equipment and drugs to treat TB patients at old-world facilities. The disease has found fertile ground in North Korea, where the population has been weakened by malnutrition since a famine in the 1990s. The foundation returns this month on a whirlwind, three-week mission to help hundreds of patients.It appears an unlikely partnership: a Christian-based organization located in Washington, teaming up with an authoritarian government intolerant of religion. North Korea currently faces stiff U.S. criticism for detaining three Americans, including a tourist who is soon expected to face trial after his arrest for leaving a Bible at a sailors' club.Yet the foundation, which does not proselytize, says it has a good working relationship with the North and its doctors. It started out providing food aid during the famine, but has since mostly helped the nation's creaky health system."It's a collaboration, and it works. Our goals are aligned," said John Rogers, executive director of the foundation, which was set up by the son of a Southern Presbyterian missionary family with long experience in Korea. "Their agenda and our agenda is to save the lives of these people and put a stop to this curable, deadly disease."TB is a contagious, bacterial disease that usually attacks the lungs. The World Health Organization, or WHO, estimated about 100,000 new cases of TB in 2012 among North Korea's 25 million people. Dr. Sharon Perry, an epidemiologist who helped start a TB laboratory in Pyongyang, said that incidence of the disease is among the highest in the world outside of sub-Saharan Africa.North Korea is perhaps unique in how it still houses TB sufferers in a network of sanatoria — specialized clinics used to isolate patients for long-term care — as the U.S. and Europe did in the 19th and 20th centuries before the era of antibiotics. The sanatoria are poorly supplied, but the foundation says the regimented nature of the North Korean system helps keep track of patients.Rogers described people wracked by the disease, sometimes carried on the back of a family member, queuing up for help when the foundation visits.Since 2010, a $48 million program supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has increased availability in North Korea of regular treatments for TB, principally using the drugs isoniazid and rifampicin. But multidrug-resistant strains, which are more difficult and costly to treat, are widespread, said Dr. Kwonjune Seung, Eugene Bell's medical director.There's been no nationwide survey of the problem — North Korea still lacks the capability to conduct one — but based on experience at a dozen of these facilities in the southern half of North Korea, Seung predicts such strains could be up to three times more common than the World Health Organization has estimated. Seung, who serves on a WHO expert working group on the issue, said it could be comparable to Russia, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, where post-Soviet breakdown of health systems was followed by an alarming spread in multidrug-resistant TB.On each trip, the foundation brings in molecular testing machines, the size of cappuccino-makers, that use a sputum sample to analyze a patient's DNA. After two hours they know whether a patient has multidrug-resistant TB and what type. They immediately prescribe appropriate drugs.The treatment is tough and is administered by North Korean staff at the sanatoria, which sometimes lack running water and heating. It takes between 18 and 24 months. Side effects can include vomiting, psychosis and hearing loss.But Seung said the dropout rate is just 2 percent. He said for more than 200 patients who began treatment in spring 2012 and have now completed it, there's been a cure rate of around 75 percent."The structure in North Korea is pretty tight. It's not like once you are in the program, it loses track of you," Rogers said. "And people are tough, they finish the program."Those results have not been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Perry, who between 2007 and 2011 directed a Stanford University-associated project on tuberculosis diagnosis in North Korea, said she could not evaluate them without more data. She said cure rates around the world for treating multidrug-resistant TB typically range between 50 percent and 70 percent.The foundation got most of its $2.5 million income last year from individuals of Korean descent and church groups, but is casting wider for donations as it looks to help build patient wards and treat more people. It has doubled the number of patients it helps to about 1,000 in the past two years, and wants to double again in the next two years, Rogers said.Skepticism still abounds in Washington over the merits of providing assistance to North Korea, which is often criticized for plowing money into weapons of mass destruction while its people go hungry.But Frank Jannuzi, a Northeast Asia specialist at the Washington-based Mansfield Foundation, said the few, mostly Christian-linked U.S. aid groups working in North Korea have proved "it's possible to have a sustained people-to-people humanitarian program, even during nuclear tests, missile tests and other times of tension."

Russian hackers target NATO, Ukraine and others: iSight-Reuters-By Jim Finkle-OCT 14,14-YAHOONEWS
BOSTON (Reuters) - Russian hackers exploited a bug in Microsoft Windows and other software to spy on computers used by NATO, the European Union, Ukraine and companies in the energy and telecommunications sectors, according to cyber intelligence firm iSight Partners.ISight said it did not know what data had been found by the hackers, though it suspected they were seeking information on the Ukraine crisis, as well as diplomatic, energy and telecom issues, based on the targets and the contents of phishing emails used to infect computers with tainted files.The five-year cyber espionage campaign is still going on, according to iSight, which dubbed the operation "Sandworm Team" because it found references to the "Dune" science fiction series in the software code used by the hackers.The operation used a variety of ways to attack the targets over the years, iSight said, adding that the hackers began only in August to exploit a vulnerability found in most versions of Windows.ISight said it told Microsoft Corp about the bug and held off on disclosing the problem so the software maker had time to fix it.A Microsoft spokesman said the company plans to roll out an automatic update to affected versions of Windows on Tuesday.There was no immediate comment from the Russian government, NATO, the EU or the Ukraine government.Researchers with Dallas-based iSight said they believed the hackers are Russian because of language clues in the software code and because of their choice of targets."Your targets almost certainly have to do with your interests. We see strong ties to Russian origins here," said John Hulquist, head of iSight's cyber espionage practice. The firm plans to release a 16-page report on Sandworm Team to its clients on Tuesday.While technical indicators do not indicate whether the hackers have ties to the Russian government, Hulquist said he believed they were supported by a nation state because they were engaging in espionage, not cyber crime.For example, in December 2013, NATO was targeted with a malicious document on European diplomacy. Several regional governments in the Ukraine and an academic working on Russian issues in the United States were sent tainted emails that claimed to contain a list of pro-Russian extremist activities, according to iSight.The firm said its researchers uncovered evidence that some Ukrainian government computer systems were infected, but they were unable to remotely confirm specific victims among those systems that had been targeted.Still, researchers believe a large percentage of those targeted systems were infected because the malicious software used was very sophisticated, using a previously unknown attack method that enabled it to get past virtually all known security protections, said Drew Robinson, a senior technical analyst with iSight Partners.ISight said it had alerted some victims of Sandworm Team, but declined to elaborate.The iSight research is the latest in a series of private sector security reports that link Moscow to some of the most sophisticated cyber espionage uncovered to date.Russia's Kaspersky Lab in August released details on a campaign that attacked two spy agencies and hundreds of government and military targets across Europe and the Middle East.(Reporting by Jim Finkle; Additional reporting by Alastair Macdonald; Editing by Tiffany Wu)
Islamic State forces 180,000 to flee in Iraq-Reuters-By Ahmed Rasheed-OCT 14,14-YAHOONEWS
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Fighting in Iraq's western Anbar province has forced up to 180,000 people to flee since the city of Hit fell to Islamic State earlier this month, the United Nations said on Monday.Islamic State fighters extended that advance by overrunning a military base that the Iraqi army had abandoned 8 km (5 miles) west of Hit earlier on Monday, according to an army officer and members of a government-backed Sunni militia.Islamic State has been on the offensive in the desert province of Anbar, bordering Syria, in recent weeks, taking the town of Hit on Oct. 2 and nearby Kubaisa on Oct. 4.That has raised concerns in the West because it is close to Baghdad and demonstrates the group's reach; while operating successfully in Anbar, it is also on the verge of taking the strategic town of Kobani hundreds of miles away in northern Syria on the border with Turkey.In Baghdad, three bombs exploded in Shi'ite parts of the capital on Monday, killing 30 people, police and medical officials said, continuing a wave of attacks targeting Iraq's majority religious group.There was no claim of responsibility for the bombings, but Islamic State claimed a string of attacks in Baghdad on Sunday that left 45 dead.As a result of the fighting and air strikes in Anbar, carried out by the Iraqi government and a U.S.-led military coalition, up to 30,000 families or 180,000 individuals have fled Hit, the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.The war in Anbar and its conquest of Mosul have allowed Islamic State to hold territory from eastern Syria across Sunni parts of Iraq with the goal of establishing a caliphate.
SUICIDE BOMBERS
In northern Syria, three Islamic State fighters blew themselves up on Monday in Kobani, a monitoring group said, with the hardline militants making slight advances inside the besieged Kurdish town.In one of the attacks, an Islamic State fighter detonated a truck laden with explosives in a northern district of Kobani, which has been the scene of heavy clashes between Kurdish forces and Islamic State fighters, Kurdish sources said.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported more heavy fighting on Monday inside the city, where U.S.-led air strikes have so far failed to halt the militants' advance.Rami Abderahman of the Observatory said one of the suicide attacks targeted a bus station in the northwest of Kobani and that the group had taken around 50 percent of the town."They now control the cultural center, which means they have advanced further inside the town," he said.The Observatory said there had been at least five U.S.-led strikes early on Monday, mainly targeting southern districts of Kobani, which is known as Ayn al-Arab in Arabic. Clashes also continued to the east, killing a dozen Islamic State fighters.The militant group wants to seize the town to consolidate a dramatic sweep across northern Iraq and Syria.The United States and Saudi Arabia launched eight air strikes on Sunday and Monday against Islamic State targets in Syria, including seven near Kobani, the U.S. military said.Four strikes southwest of Kobani hit Islamic State units and destroyed a machine gun firing position, while three strikes northeast of Kobani struck a militant unit and damaged a staging location and several buildings. Another strike hit an Islamic State garrison northwest of Raqqa, the military said.
DENIAL
In a blow to U.S. hopes, Turkey denied it had agreed to let the United States use its Incirlik air base in the fight against Islamic State, and sources at the Turkish prime minister's office said talks were continuing on the subject.Turkey had however reached an agreement with Washington on training Syrian rebels, the sources told reporters, without saying who would train the insurgents or where.The comments come after U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Turkey had agreed to let forces from a U.S.-led military coalition use its bases for activities inside Iraq and Syria and to train moderate Syrian rebels.Syria's air force meanwhile carried out strikes against rebels at more than double its usual rate on Monday, according to the Observatory.The intensified air strikes by President Bashar al-Assad's government will add to the fear among Assad's opponents that he is taking advantage of the U.S. strikes to crush other foes, including the "moderate opposition" that Washington backs.The United States says it does not want to help Assad's government despite bombing Islamic State, the most powerful group fighting against Damascus in a three-year-old civil war. Washington aims to help arm moderates to fight against both Assad and Islamic State.But within days of the start of U.S. air strikes in Syria last month, Assad's government stepped up the tempo of its own air campaign against rebels closer to the capital Damascus.The Observatory said the Syrian air force had struck 40 times on Monday in areas in Idlib and Hama provinces, including dropping oil drums packed with explosives and shrapnel.Typically Damascus has carried out no more than 12-20 raids a day.(Additional reporting by Ned Parker, a correspondent in Anbar, Tom Miles, Suleiman Al-Khalidi, Mariam Karouny, Jim Loney, Ozge Ozbilgin, Sylvia Westall; writing by Giles Elgood; editing by Philippa Fletcher)

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear,(TORNADOES,HURRICANES,STORMS) and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:(DESTRUCTION) for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(FROM QUAKES,NUKES ETC)
THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Hurricane Gonzalo strengthens, nears British Virgin Islands-Reuters-OCT 14,14-YAHOONEWS
SAN JUAN Puerto Rico (Reuters) - Hurricane Gonzalo strengthened as it churned through the Caribbean on Monday headed for the British Virgin Islands, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Gonzalo was about 5 miles (8 km) north of St. Maarten, the half-French, half-Dutch island, with maximum sustained winds of 80 miles per hour (130 km per hour), the center said.A hurricane warning was in effect for the British Virgin Islands, St. Maarten and Anguilla. Hurricane watches were in place for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.Gonzalo was forecast to continue gaining strength and become a major hurricane on Wednesday with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph).Most forecasts showed Gonzalo posing no threat to the mainland United States and moving north over the Atlantic after passing Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.In Antigua and Barbuda several fishing vessels were destroyed, roofs blown off and power lines downed, the government said in a statement.The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, ordered schools closed for a national cleanup effort on Tuesday to get the nation “fully back in business” by Wednesday.In Puerto Rico, consumers stocked up on water, batteries and other emergency supplies. Government officials urged residents to take precautions against a possible strike by Gonzalo, which was forecast to pass to the northeast of the island."My call to the people is to err on the side of caution,” Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla said at a press conference as he urged people to stay indoors.Extra ferry service was provided to the Puerto Rican islands of Vieques and Culebra on Sunday and Monday to ensure that tourists could leave before the storm.Emergency personnel were placed on alert and storm shelters were being set up at public schools and other facilities. The Explorer of the Seas cruise ship changed schedule to arrive early and spend the night in port.Gonzalo is the sixth hurricane of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season. In August, forecasters downgraded their outlook for the season, predicting below-normal activity with seven to 12 named storms and no more than two reaching major hurricane status.A major hurricane is considered to be Category 3 or above with winds hitting at least 111 mph (178 kph).(Reporting by Ian Simpson, Colleen Jenkins, David Adams and Reuters in San Juan; Editing by Jim Loney, Leslie Adler and Tom Brown)
Workers clear debris after Indian cyclone kills 24-Associated Press-By MOHAMMED SHAFEEQ-OCT 14,14-YAHOONEWS
HYDERABAD, India (AP) — Rescue workers and soldiers cleared uprooted trees and electrical poles blocking roads in eastern India after a tropical cyclone killed at least 24 people and demolished tens of thousands of mud huts. In Japan, a tropical storm killed at least one person and injured 75 before heading out to sea Tuesday morning.As weather improved in India on Monday, the air force used planes and helicopters to drop food packets in affected places in and around Visakhapatnam, the city hit worst by Sunday's severe cyclone, said a statement by India's Home Ministry.Rescuers reached several coastal areas battered by the cyclone and evacuated 11,853 people in Andhra Pradesh state and 1,403 in Orissa state to safer places, the statement said.Weather forecasters warned that heavy to very heavy rainfall would lash parts of six states as the remnants of the cyclone moved further inland.Cyclone Hudhud's winds demolished about 80,000 thatched huts belonging to poor tribal people across Orissa state, said P.K. Mahapatra, the state's special relief commissioner.More than 6,500 homes were damaged in Andhra Pradesh state, said Parkala Prabhakar, a state government official.Twenty-four deaths were counted as of late Monday, 21 in Andhra Pradesh state and three in Orissa, mostly because of injuries from collapsed walls and falling trees, officials said.Andhra Pradesh government official Parkala Prabhakar said 15 were killed in Visakhapatnam, one of the largest cities in southern India and a major naval base. Television footage showed downed electrical poles, uprooted trees and debris strewn in the streets. Train and cellphone services were disrupted.Electricity was disconnected in parts of Andhra Pradesh to avoid electrocutions, said Arvind Kumar, a relief and rescue official.At least 400,000 people were evacuated from coastal areas of the two states ahead of the storm, and hundreds of shelters were set up to house them, helping to reduce casualties.While India has a disastrous record of response to natural calamities, it safely evacuated nearly a million people before Cyclone Phailin hit Orissa state last October. The strongest tropical storm to hit India in more than a decade, Phailin destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of crops but claimed only about 25 lives.The Indian Ocean is a cyclone hotspot. Of the 35 deadliest storms in recorded history, 27 have come through the Bay of Bengal and have landed in either India or Bangladesh. In 1999, a cyclone devastated Orissa's coastline and killed at least 10,000 people.In Japan, the body of a 90-year-old man who went missing while checking a persimmon orchard in the southwestern prefecture of Tottori was found in an irrigation canal. At typhoon strength earlier, the storm, named Vongfong, battered the southern islands of Okinawa before reaching the mainland.___Associated Press writers Ken Moritsugu in Tokyo and Ashok Sharma in New Delhi contributed to this report.
Typhoon Vongfong heads off Japan coast; 1 dead, 2 missing-Reuters-OCT 13,14-YAHOONEWS
TOKYO (Reuters) - A large storm was heading off Japan's northeast coast early Tuesday, leaving one person dead, two missing and 93 injured even as it weakened sharply from what had been the strongest typhoon to hit Japan this year.Vongfong, downgraded to a tropical storm, was moving northeast at 65 km per hour (40 miles per hour), heading off the coast of the Tohoku region devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.The storm had maximum sustained winds 110 kph (70 mph) and gusts up to 145 kph (90 mph), the agency said on its website.After the storm passed through western Japan, a 90-year-old man in Tottori prefecture was found dead in a field irrigation ditch, while one person each was missing in Ehime and Shizuoka prefectures, public broadcaster NHK said. Vongfong brought heavy rain to Tokyo through the night and snarled traffic for much of the nation on the last day of a three-day holiday weekend. More than 600 flights were canceled nationwide on Monday and more than 60 cancellations were expected on Tuesday, NHK said.In Tokyo on Tuesday morning the sun had returned and commuter train service was largely returning to normal.More than 800,000 people nationwide had been urged to leave their homes, while more than 150,000 homes lost power, NHK said.Tokyo Electric Power Co, the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, said on Monday it had increased water transfer and storage capacity to prevent an overflow of radioactive water being stored at the plant.A Monday baseball playoff game in Osaka for Japan's Pacific League, between the Orix Buffaloes and the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, was postponed. It was the first time a Nippon Professional Baseball playoff game was canceled because of a typhoon.(Reporting by Junko Fujita and William Mallard; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)

The shaking of the earth was felt for a few seconds in the Nicaraguan capital Managua and other cities, but no immediate injuries or damage were reported, officials said.Electricity and cell phone service in some areas were cut off. The government urged coastal residents to move inland.
A 5.3 magnitude aftershock was felt in Costa Rica.
