2nd firefighter dies battling huge Cyprus forest fire-[The Canadian Press]-Menelaos Hadjicostis, The Associated Press-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

NICOSIA, Cyprus - A huge forest fire raging out of control for a third day in the mountains southwest of the Cyprus' capital of Nicosia has claimed the life of a second firefighter, authorities confirmed Tuesday.The announcement of 44-year-old Marios Aristotelous' death came a day after another colleague, Andreas Sophocleous, 49, lost his life in the line of duty. Both firefighters died from injuries sustained when their truck slid down a 20 metre-gully Monday.Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and the head of Cyprus' Orthodox Christian Church Archbishop Chrysostomos II said they were distraught at the news of the firefighters' deaths and pledged to financially support their families.A third firefighter remains in critical condition with head injuries suffered in a separate accident Sunday when his truck overturned.Forestry Department spokesman Andreas Christou said three more planes, one from Italy and two from France, are expected later Tuesday to join 16 other aircraft from Greece, Israel, Cyprus and Britain.Some 350 firefighters and volunteers along with more than 60 vehicles are trying to contain one of Cyprus' largest forest fires in difficult terrain amid a heat wave with temperatures surging to over 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). The fire has scorched around 15 square kilometres (5.8 sq. miles) of trees and countryside.The Forestry Department said crews have checked the fire's spread on several fronts, but are battling to contain flare-ups in the northeastern foothills of the Troodos mountain range.The blaze prompted Anastasiades to postpone Tuesday's scheduled meeting with breakaway Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci as part of talks aiming to reunify ethnically divided Cyprus so he can visit the affected areas.___This story has been corrected to say both firefighters died from injuries sustained in same accident.

Deal on Canada Pension Plan reform was swift in policy-making terms-[The Canadian Press]-Andy Blatchford, The Canadian Press-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

OTTAWA - In two and a half years, Canadians will gradually start paying more premiums into the Canada Pension Plan.In several decades, supporters say the "historic" CPP deal reached Monday between Ottawa and most provinces will boost retirement security for future generations.But by policy-making standards, the agreement-in-principle — an unlikely outcome just a few months ago — happened in the blink of an eye.Even the federal finance minister, a pension expert, had given himself until the end of the year to finish up negotiations.Instead, the provinces are now being asked to finalize an agreement by July 15 that will eventually increase contributions and retirement benefits through the public plan.Following weeks of talks and an all-day meeting in Vancouver on Monday, finance ministers emerged with the agreement-in-principle.Even provinces such as Saskatchewan and British Columbia, which had expressed concerns about the timing of CPP reform, had signed on. Only Manitoba and Quebec declined to agree to the terms.The agreement came together as pollsters pointed to overwhelming popular support for public pension reform amid concerns about the adequacy of retirement savings.The federal Liberals ran on platform to upgrade the public pension system, as did their Ontario cousins. The result also means Ontario will abandon its project to go it alone with its own pension plan.How did this all happen so quickly? Sources familiar with the talks said doubters had concerns about the potential economic impact of boosting the CPP, even at the late stages of negotiations.They said Ottawa made a major push in the final days and hours, which helped secure enough country-wide support to expand the CPP. To make the change, they needed consent of a minimum of seven provinces representing at least two-thirds of Canada's population.The sources also suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself was involved in the extra effort.On top of that, Ontario, which had been moving forward its more-ambitious pension plan proposal, backed away from its earlier demands that CPP reform should be just as robust.Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa said in an interview Monday after the announcement that the swift agreement was driven by several factors.Sousa said all of his counterparts agreed there were "undersaving issues." He also said that Ontario's proposed pension plan — and its parameters — gave ministers around the table an example to examine.And some provinces, especially those hit hard by the commodity-price shock, were looking for only a gradual implementation due to the fragile economy, Sousa added.The agreement Monday states the CPP premium increases on workers and employees will only start to be phased in on Jan. 1, 2019. Ontario's increase was set to begin in 2018.British Columbia Finance Minister Michael de Jong said the deal was reached in part because of compromises and the desire to maintain a single, portable CPP across Canada."We think this strikes the right balance in that regard," de Jong told reporters after the announcement.The deal, however, wasn't embraced by everyone.Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Manitoba needed more time to examine the deal since its government was only a few weeks old."This comes very fast and hard for them," Morneau said of Manitoba, whose finance minister wasn't present for the news conference.Quebec refused to sign the deal out of concern a broad-based premium increase would have a negative impact of low-income earners, the province's finance minister said in an interview.The province operates its own sister program of the CPP — the Quebec Pension Plan. Quebec can adjust the QPP as it likes, but it has typically followed the CPP.Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said in an interview he will raise QPP premiums according to the CPP deal. He said would also phase them in over the same period.But unlike the broader-based CPP reform agreement, he said Quebec would only raise premiums on income earned above $27,500.That's why Quebec didn't sign the agreement-in-principle, Leitao said."Those people already have a hard time saving, so their disposable income is pretty tight — and I think by taking the decision that we took, we will avoid an unfair tax on them and also on their employers," he said."As we know, payroll taxes tend to be the most economically inefficient taxes."To help offset the effect on low-income earners of increased CPP premiums, Ottawa said would it enhance the federal Working Income Tax Benefit and provide a tax deduction.Critics of CPP expansion have also said it would squeeze workers and employers by imposing additional contributions — and hurt the economy.Dan Kelly, the president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, warned that the CPP expansion is "pretty devastating" for small businesses."The big question I ask myself is what was the size of the federal cheques that were written to some of these provinces to get them to the table?" Kelly said.Others were thrilled by the announcement.The head of an organization that has been campaigning for CPP reform for years said Monday's deal would create the first benefits increase for the plan since it was created in 1966."It's really historic — I never thought this moment would come," said Hassan Yussuff, president of the Canadian Labour Congress.— Follow @AndyBlatchford on Twitter

Canada and provinces reach preliminary deal on pension plan reform-[By Julie Gordon]-June 20, 2016-YAHOONEWS

VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Canada's federal government and provinces agreed in principle on Monday to support a compromise plan to expand the national pension plan that would see premiums raised moderately over time to provide greater payouts for pensioners.The proposed changes, if formally approved by the provinces, would start in 2019 and be phased in over seven years, according to the plan signed by eight provincial finance ministers and federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau.Reforming the Canada Pension Plan, or CPP, requires the support of the country's federal government plus seven of the 10 provinces, representing two-thirds of the Canadian population.Like other governments around the world, Canada faces a challenge to provide for its aging population. The CPP has been deemed by some experts as insufficient to provide enough income in retirement without being supplemented by a workplace pension.Fewer employers are offering workplace pensions and those that do are reducing the benefits of those plans, prompting advocates to lobby for CPP reform.The previous federal Conservative government refused to consider changes, which prompted Ontario's Liberal government to come up with its own plan to boost retirement security for residents in the absence of a national solution.The election of a federal Liberal government last October opened the door to new cooperation, although securing the required backing among provinces proved challenging.The proposed changes, following a day of talks between Morneau and his provincial counterparts, are revised from Ontario's proposal and will now be considered by the provinces. If approved, a final agreement could be formalized within weeks."I think we have reached a balanced approach to satisfying the objectives that were set out - that is a modest enhancement, that is fully funded and is affordable," British Columbia Finance Minister Michael de Jong told reporters.The agreement means Ontario will likely not go ahead with its proposed Ontario Retirement Pension Plan.Quebec, which has its own pension plan, did not sign on but expressed its support for "modest, targeted and gradual enhancements." Manitoba is the only other province that did not sign the deal.Under the current plan, both employers and employees contribute 4.95 percent of income up to a C$54,900 ($42,927) cap. The maximum payout is C$13,110 annually, lower than that of other wealthy nations.With the new deal, the earnings cap would rise to C$82,700 by 2025, with the income replacement level increasing to one-third of the cap.(Additional reporting by Matt Scuffham in Toronto; Editing by Leslie Adler and Peter Cooney)

Giant Mutant Rats Invade One Of UK’s Biggest Eco-Communities-[Yahoo News]-June 21, 2016

Residents at one of Britain’s biggest eco-communities are terrified of leaving their homes after the development was invaded by giant mutant rats.The rodents, that measure upwards of ten inches long, have decided to take up residence in the BedZed carbon-neutral development in Hackbridge, Surrey, and have been witnessed JUMPING at people living there.Scared locals are now calling on the council and estate managers Peabody to bring in some heavy-duty poisons to get rid of the massive rat infestation.Elodie Ledent, a resident on the 82-home estate, said: “I’m scared to take my bin out now, they jump out at you as you open the bins to throw the rubbish away."I have even taken my rubbish out to the bin in the street because the rats are not afraid to come close to you."I first told Peabody about this problem with the rats in October and they have not done much since.”She put the blame on the invasion on some residents leaving their rubbish out of the bins.BedZed tenant Marianne Rasmussen added: “When people are coming home at night you can hear them as they see rats run across the path.”Housing association Peabody Estates said it was investigating the problem, which has also been reported to Sutton Council.A spokesman added: "We’ve visited the site regularly with our pest control experts, and believe there could be nest sites near the river."We’ve been laying bait and are looking at what action we can take, such as moving compost bins or securing them in metal containers, to improve the situation."We’ll keep residents updated about how we are tackling the problem and our next steps.”A Sutton Council spokesman said: “The responsibility for keeping land clear of rats or mice rests with the owner or occupier, not the council."However, the council will carry out enforcement action when necessary.”

Greece's bailout funds released; EU's Juncker hails Greek efforts-[Reuters]-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece got more than 7 billion euros in bailout funds on Tuesday after a review of the country's progress in implementing economic reforms, the head of the euro zone's bailout fund told reporters in Athens.Greece needs the money to pay off growing state arrears, maturing ECB bonds and International Monetary Fund loans. Talks with its foreign creditors over Greece's efforts to implement a reform program have dragged on for six months.The European Stability Mechanism "disbursed today 7.5 billion euros ($8.50 billion) to Greece," Klaus Regling, the managing director of the fund, said after meeting Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos in Athens.Athens will use 5.6 billion euros of the amount to pay debts and 1.8 billion euros for state arrears.The ESM, Greece's largest creditor, will continue to loan Athens money under favorable conditions. Interest rates charged on Greek loans are at 0.8 percent currently and the average maturity of the loans is 32 years, Regling said."We want to help the Greek economy for the entire period," he said, but "we don't know exactly, given that forecasts are very uncertain, what the needs in a few years time will be."Regling said that a 3.5 percent primary surplus target, which Greece has agreed to achieve in 2018, should be respected. The International Monetary Fund has said the target is unrealistic and would prefer it being lowered to 2.0 percent."I'm absolutely content," said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who was visiting Athens when Regling met with Tsakalotos. "Greece is on the right path and I would like it to have national ownership of the programs which are currently being implemented."(Reporting by Lefteris Papadimas and George Georgiopoulos, editing by Larry King)

Britain's EU referendum nail-bitingly close two days before vote-[Reuters]-By Michael Holden-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

LONDON (Reuters) - With two days to go until Britain's referendum on EU membership that will shape the future of the European Union and the West, polls and surveys indicated public opinion is so divided that the outcome is too close to call.Britons vote on Thursday on whether to quit the 28-nation bloc amid warnings from world leaders, investors and companies that a decision to leave would diminish the former imperial power's political and economic influence, unleash turmoil on markets and send shock waves around the Western world.As each side sought to play its last trump cards, the pro-EU "Britain Stronger in Europe" campaign issued a final poster of a door leading into a dark void with the slogan: "Leave and there's no going back."And former England soccer captain David Beckham, a hugely popular public figure, added his voice to Remain's list of celebrity supporters. "For our children and their children we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone," he said.Leave campaigners stepped up their relentless focus on what they call uncontrolled immigration, saying Prime Minister David Cameron had been warned four years ago his goal of reducing net arrivals was impossible due to EU rules.The anti-EU UK Independence Party issued a poster showing a traffic jam with the message "The school over-run" and saying nearly one in four of Britain's primary schools were full or oversubscribed.The EU - already shaken by differences over migration and the future of the euro zone - would lose its second-largest economy, one of its top two military powers and by far its richest financial center.George Soros, the billionaire who bet against the pound in 1992, wrote in an article for the Guardian newspaper that a vote to leave would trigger a bigger, more disruptive devaluation than the fall on Black Wednesday, when market pressure forced sterling out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.There could also be severe political ramifications, with many in the Brexit camp regarding Cameron's leadership as untenable if there is a vote to leave.Justice Secretary Michael Gove, a senior government figure and one of the leading voices of the Leave camp, said he would "reflect" on his own position depending on the outcome.-KNIFE EDGE-Sterling has been climbing in recent days on the back of more positive opinion polls, suggesting the mood of the public was swinging behind the "In" camp, but even its supporters said the result was on a knife edge."Things have improved for the 'Remain' side in last few days but it could still be very close ... I have more confidence over the last few days," junior finance minister Greg Hands told investors at a conference on Tuesday.An ORB poll for Tuesday's Daily Telegraph newspaper found support for Remain at 53 percent, up 5 percentage points on the previous one, with support for Leave on 46 percent, down three points."All the signs of ORB's latest and final poll point to a referendum that will truly come down to the wire," said Lynton Crosby, a political strategist who advised the ruling Conservative Party at the last national election in 2015.The "Leave" camp had "failed to quash the almost ubiquitous perception that it is the riskier of the two options," he said.Social research body NatCen also published a survey that found Remain on 53 percent and Leave on 47 percent, using a method that took on recommendations by an official inquiry into why pollsters got last year's election wrong, although its research was conducted from May 16 to June 12.However, an online poll by YouGov for The Times showed Leave ahead on 44 percent, up one point, with Remain on 42 percent, down two points.Campaigning was suspended for three days after the murder of pro-EU lawmaker Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed to death in her constituency in northern England last Thursday.Some "Leave" campaigners accuse the "Remain" camp of exploiting the death as part of what they portray as a campaign of scaremongering by the establishment at home and abroad.Turnout is predicted to be key to the result, and the ORB poll found that Remain supporters, who had been regarded as being more apathetic, were becoming increasingly motivated to vote as polling day approaches.-STERLING, SHARES BOOST-Prior to the murder of Cox, polls had shifted towards "Leave", and the indication that an "In" vote was now more likely has boosted sterling. The pound hit its highest level against the dollar since the start of the year on Tuesday.According to Betfair betting odds, the implied probability of a British vote to remain in the EU was 75 percent. But analysts in the financial markets were more cautious."We will go into the vote without high confidence in predicting the outturn in either direction," JPMorgan researcher Malcolm Barr said in a note to clients.The "Out" campaign says it is the anti-establishment choice, and its message that EU membership has handed political control to Brussels and fueled mass immigration appears to have struck a chord with many Britons.That issue again gained prominence when Cameron's former close aide Steve Hilton said civil servants had explicitly told the prime minister four years ago that his target to cut net immigration to the tens of thousands was unachievable because of the free movement demanded by the EU."There are good ways of controlling immigration ... but pulling out of the single market, wrecking our economy, that is a bad way," Cameron told ITV's "Lorraine" program.The Remain camp has focused mostly on the economic benefits of EU membership and the risks posed by leaving.Pro-EU leaders, including former prime ministers Tony Blair and John Major, have warned that an exit could also trigger the break-up of the United Kingdom by prompting another Scottish independence vote if England pulled Scotland out of the EU.(Additional reporting by Elisabeth O'Leary, John Geddie and Estelle Shirbon; Editing by Guy Faulconbridge and Paul Taylor)

French police arrest one, swoop on houses in cop killer investigation-[Reuters]-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

PARIS (Reuters) - French police on Tuesday arrested a man with suspected links to the killer of a police commander and raided several houses, the prosecutor's office said, part of a deepening investigation into last week's attack claimed by Islamic State.The police probe is focusing on suspected associates of Larossi Abballa, the Frenchman of Moroccan origin who pledged allegiance to the Islamist militant group and told police negotiators during the attack that he had answered a call to "kill infidels at home with their families.""There was a chance that these people might carry out other attacks against police officers. We were removing any doubt," said the Versailles prosecutor leading the investigation.The prosecutor did not name the man who had been detained and it was not immediately clear whether police missed other targets or decided no further arrests were required.Tuesday's swoop came after the Paris prosecutor's office said on Saturday that two other suspected associates were to be placed under investigation for membership of a terrorist organisation.Abballa stabbed 42-year-old Jean-Baptiste Salvaing to death in a suburb west of Paris before taking Salvaing's partner, Jessica Schneider, and their son hostage. He used a knife to kill Schneider before he was shot dead by elite commandos.Abballa was jailed in 2013 for his involvement in a militant recruitment network that sent young men to Pakistan. The men placed under investigation on Saturday, named as Charaf-Din Aberouz and Saad Rajraji, were founding members of the group and sentenced alongside Abballa, prosecutors said.At this stage, investigators have not made any direct link between Aberouz and Rajraji and the killings last Monday, the first Islamic State-inspired attack in France since militant gunmen and bombers killed 130 people in Paris last November.(Reporting by Chine Labbe; writing by Richard Lough; Editing by Andrew Callus)

Iraqi forces retake two Falluja districts from Islamic State, push west-[Reuters]-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's armed forces pressed on with their offensive to retake the city of Falluja from Islamic State on Tuesday, dislodging the militants from two eastern districts and pushing them back into a handful of northern and western neighbourhoods.A military statement said the elite counter-terrorism forces took the northeastern Shurta police district while units from Baghdad operations command recaptured the Askari military neighbourhood.Islamic State still held the northern districts of Jughaifi and Golan as well as the western banks of the Tigris river.Fighting to recapture the Iraqi city longest held by Islamic State, now in its fifth week, has forced more than 85,000 residents to flee to overwhelmed government-run camps.Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said last week that the recapture of Falluja would pave the way for the military to march on Mosul, Islamic State's de facto capital.The operation's commander Lieutenant General Abdul Wahab al-Saidi told Reuters on Monday that U.S.-backed Iraqi forces expected the final push would take place in the west.The Iraqi army is also pressing on with an offensive to dislodge the militants from farmlands located on the western bank of the Euphrates, opposite the built-up area of Falluja, that the militants use as a base for snipers and mortar attacks."The simultaneous attacks are continuing from four directions to tighten the noose around Daesh (Islamic State)fighters entrenched in houses among civilians and prevent them from catching their breath," said Colonel Ahmed al-Saidi from the federal police.Government troops launched the operation on May 23 to retake Falluja, a bastion of the Sunni Muslim insurgency against U.S. forces that toppled Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, in 2003, and later against Shi'ite-led governments-The militants seized Falluja in January 2014, six months before they declared a "caliphate" over part of Syria and Iraq.(Reporting by Ahmed Rasheed; Writing by Maher Chmaytelli; Editing by Richard Balmforth)

Powers must push for political solution in Syria - U.N.[Reuters]-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations war crimes investigators called on world powers on Tuesday to pressure the warring sides in Syria to return to the negotiating table to end the conflict and civilian suffering.Paulo Pinheiro, chair of the U.N. independent commission of inquiry on Syria, said that the Syrian government was conducting daily air strikes, while militant groups including Islamic State also carried out indiscriminate attacks."We need all states to insist time and time again that influential states and the (U.N.) Security Council unconditionally support the political process," Pinheiro told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.The Syrian government and opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) - who ended the last round of talks in Geneva in late April - must resume talks and agree to confidence-building measures, including an end to indiscriminate bombings, granting access to besieged areas and releasing prisoners, he said."Schools, hospitals, mosques, water stations - they are all being turned into rubble," Pinheiro said. "Tens of thousands are trapped between frontlines and borders in the north and south of Syria."Syria's ambassador Hussam Aala, in a speech to the rights forum, accused regional powers of "supporting terrorism" and "causing the failure of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva".He said schools and hospitals in Aleppo were being destroyed and civilians killed by missiles provided by Turkey and Qatar to the Nusra Front, al Qaeda's Syrian branch.European Union ambassador Peter Sorensen said: "The EU condemns the excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks that the Syrian regime continues to commit against its own people."(Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Dominic Evans)

EU envoys extend economic sanctions on Russia until end-January - sources-[By Gabriela Baczynska and Alastair Macdonald]-June 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's Brussels envoys agreed on Tuesday to extend until the end of January the energy, financial and defence sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, diplomatic sources said.The bloc's ministers have yet to formally approve the six-month roll-over but diplomats said there was no doubt they would. France and Britain asked for time to receive comments from their parliaments, though these have no power to block it.Diplomats said formal ministerial approval had been pencilled in for a meeting in Luxembourg on Friday although it could be held over until an EU leaders summit next week, or even later.After more than two years of sanctions slapped over Moscow's annexation of Crimea from Kiev and backing for east Ukraine's rebels, the EU is planning a broader review of its policy vis-à-vis Russia in the second half of this year.The German foreign minister and the Italian prime minister are among a growing chorus of politicians pushing for sanctions relief. In April, the French parliament approved a non-binding resolution calling for the lifting of EU sanctions.They say the EU can no longer afford to miss out on trading with Russia and that any sanctions should only be a temporary rather than stay in place for too long if they fail to force a change of policy from the Kremlin.Poland and the Baltic states are more wary of Russia and say the restrictions must hold until a troubled peace plan for east Ukraine is fully implemented.More than 9,000 people died in fighting there and rival sides in the conflict must yet withdraw heavy arms from the region, Kiev should organise local elections there and Moscow is bound to help Ukraine regain control of its border with Russia.The EU needs unanimity to decide on sanctions, some of which were slapped over Russia's annexation of Crimea from Kiev in March 2014, a move that was not recognised by any country in the world. Russia vows not to give back the Black Sea peninsula.That leaves diplomats in Berlin and Brussels looking at options for a potential partial or gradual sanctions relief.European Council President Donald Tusk plans to dedicate an evening working session to the bloc's policy vis-à-vis Russia and the conflict in Ukraine when he chairs a summit of the 28 EU leaders in October.(Reporting by Gabriela Baczynska, Alastair Macdonald, additional reporting by Leigh Thomas in Paris; editing by Ralph Boulton)

 Edano may take legal action to challenge Fukushima crisis report

Democratic Party Secretary General Yukio Edano attends a press conference in Tokyo on June 17, 2016. Edano said a report on how Tokyo Electric Power Co. handled the Fukushima nuclear disaster is inappropriate as it notes the then TEPCO chief instructed staff not to use the term "core meltdown" in describing the situation in the early days of the crisis due to pressure from the prime minister's office. Edano, then chief Cabinet secretary, said, "We may take legal action to challenge it." (Kyodo)

President Naomi Hirose's apology Tuesday followed the revelation that an investigation had found Hirose's predecessor instructed officials during the March 2011 disaster to avoid using the word "meltdown."TEPCO instead described the reactors' condition as less serious "core damage" for two months after the earthquake and tsunami wrecked the plant, even though utility officials knew meltdowns had occurred.An investigative report released last week said TEPCO's former president instructed officials to use the milder description under alleged pressure from the Prime Minister's Office, though it found no proof. Former officials at the Prime Minister's Office denied the allegation.

Didn’t TEPCO betray Fukushima residents by not saying ‘meltdown’? 7:47 pm, June 19, 2016

The Yomiuri ShimbunWas Tokyo Electric Power Co. (now Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.) putting top priority on ensuring the safety of residents around its Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant when the accident occurred? The findings of a recent probe have raised doubts even about this.A third-party panel of lawyers set up by TEPCO released a report on why it took as long as two months after the crisis for the utility to acknowledge that the reactors had melted down.On March 14, 2011, three days after the accident occurred following the massive earthquake and tsunami, then TEPCO President Masataka Shimizu instructed a then executive vice president during a press conference “not to use” the word “meltdown,” according to the report. The message was delivered via a public relations staffer, citing instructions from the Prime Minister’s Office, the report said.Subsequently, TEPCO used the description “core damage” in connection with the accident. “The nuclear power plant and the head office shared a recognition that they should refrain from using ‘meltdown,’” the report pointed out.Then Prime Minister Naoto Kan and then Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano have completely denied issuing such instructions on their own.At the time of the accident, many politicians, bureaucrats and others concerned were working at the Prime Minister’s Office. The third-party probe failed to identify who gave the instructions to Shimizu.This shows the limitations that the third-party panel faced as it probed the accident based only on interviews it conducted with TEPCO officials. Furthermore, Shimizu’s memories of those days were vague.However, the probe revealed that TEPCO was paying too much attention to the Prime Minister’s Office’s intentions in responding to the accident.-Operator holds responsibility-When a nuclear power plant is hit by a serious accident, residents living around the facility face severe consequences. It is the primary responsibility of the plant operator to respond appropriately.In such a situation, the highest priority should be placed on the safety of local residents. The operator must accurately provide local governments and residents with precise and necessary information regarding the situation the power plant is facing.TEPCO chose to use “core damage,” an expression that made the status of the accident unclear, instead of “meltdown,” even though “meltdown” would have clearly shown the severity of the developments the Fukushima plant was dealing with. The operator cannot avoid criticism for having betrayed local residents with this decision. This kind of stance taken by the utility has caused increasing distrust of nuclear power plants.At the time of the accident, TEPCO had internal manuals that described what constituted a meltdown. The operator must seriously reflect on why it failed to follow these guidelines.When it came to public relations announcements at the time of the accident, the investigation committees set up by the government and the Diet both pointed out that the Prime Minister’s Office had some involvement.An official at the then Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry was replaced after referring to a “meltdown” during a press conference. TEPCO was told by the Prime Minister’s Office to brief it in advance of any announcements made at press conferences, according to the latest report.The Niigata prefectural government, whose administrative area is home to TEPCO’s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant, has called for uncovering the whole process of how information was manipulated, saying this is a prerequisite for reactivating reactors at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa. The government cannot help but cooperate with the probe.(From The Yomiuri Shimbun, June 19, 2016)

KEPCO must clear hurdles to restart nuclear reactors at Takahama plant -8:23 pm, June 21, 2016

The Yomiuri ShimbunThe latest approval marks an important step toward making good use of nuclear power as the nation’s key energy source.The Nuclear Regulation Authority approved extensions of up to 20 years for the operational periods of the Nos. 1 and 2 reactors at Kansai Electric Power Co.’s Takahama nuclear power plant. The reactors were put into commercial operation more than 40 years ago.The new regulation system, with stricter safety standards adopted after the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, limits the operational period of a nuclear reactor to no more than 40 years, while approving an extension of up to 20 years under exceptional circumstances. Such an extension has been approved for the first time.Operating a nuclear power plant upon confirmation of the reactor’s safety, even if it has been in operation for more than 40 years, will be highly advantageous in ensuring a stable supply of electricity.However, restarting an aging reactor is not easy. KEPCO must steadily clear a number of hurdles.The biggest hurdle is upgrading facilities and systems. The plant has about 1,300 kilometers of cables, 60 percent of which will have to be replaced with fire-resistant cable. The company will take measures such as wrapping fire-resistant sheeting around the rest of the cable.Solid concrete casings must also be built for the tops of the reactor vessels as a precaution against serious accidents. In the central control room, the control board, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining the safety of the reactors, will be replaced with the latest type of panels. It is vital to make sure the complex control system is functional.KEPCO aims to complete the necessary work by the autumn of 2019 for restarting the reactors. The NRA will carry out strict inspections as the work progresses. The NRA will confirm the seismic resistance of some of the major facilities inside the reactor vessels by simulating an actual earthquake shock.-Huge expense-It is also vital to win the understanding of local communities for the nuclear reactors to be restarted. KEPCO needs to explain carefully what work it is carrying out and the need for restarting the reactors.The work will require a huge sum of money — more than ¥200 billion. Restarting the reactors is expected to help KEPCO increase its profit by ¥9 billion a month.It is hoped that by moving ahead smoothly with a series of procedures, KEPCO will present a model of a nuclear power station designed to operate long into the future.The NRA, for its part, must also streamline the screening procedures. It is also important for the mechanism of the systems itself to be reviewed.Even if an electric power company tries to apply for an extension of the operational period for a nuclear reactor with plenty of time in advance, the application period is limited under the current system. Should the screening fail to be completed by the actual day marking 40 years from the start of a reactor’s operation, the reactor in question will be decommissioned.Undoubtedly the screening schedule will therefore become precarious. This will cause problems in the screenings of other reactors. Even this time, screenings for applications to restart other reactors have been delayed.Another fundamental question is whether limiting the operational period of a nuclear reactor to 40 years is scientifically rational.The government has set a target of having nuclear power account for 20 percent to 22 percent of the nation’s total electricity for fiscal 2030. To realize this target, not only the extension of the operational period of existing reactors, but also the replacement of antiquated nuclear power plants and the building of new and additional reactors must be studied.(From The Yomiuri Shimbun, June 21, 2016)

911 transcript: Orlando gunman said he was Islamic soldier-[The Canadian Press]-Eric Tucker And Mike Schneider, The Associated Press-June 20, 2016-yahoonews

ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando gunman Omar Mateen identified himself as an Islamic soldier in calls with authorities during his rampage and demanded to a crisis negotiator that the U.S. "stop bombing Syria and Iraq," according to transcripts released by the FBI on Monday.The partial transcripts were of a 911 call made by Mateen and three conversations he had with the police crisis negotiators during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in which 49 people died and dozens were wounded.Those communications, along with Facebook posts and searches Mateen made around the time of the shootings, add to the public understanding of the final hours of Mateen's life and to the possible motivations behind the rampage.The first call came more than a half-hour after shots rang out, when Mateen told a 911 operator, "Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God," he told the dispatcher, referring to God in Arabic."I let you know, I'm in Orlando and I did the shootings."During the 50-second call with a dispatcher, Mateen "made murderous statements in a "chilling, calm and deliberate manner," Ronald Hopper, FBI assistant special agent in charge in Orlando, said during a news conference.However, there is no evidence Mateen was directed by a foreign terrorist group, and he was radicalized domestically and on his own, Hopper said.Mateen's name and the groups and people to whom he pledged allegiance were initially omitted from the excerpt. But the Justice Department reversed course later Monday, providing a more complete transcript confirming Mateen pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State. The extremist group encourages its followers who seek to commit violence in its name to make public pledges of support.The Justice Department said in a statement it initially withheld the names so as not to give extremists "a publicity platform for hateful propaganda," but the omissions became an unnecessary distraction.Shortly after the call with a 911 operator, Mateen had three conversations with crisis negotiators in which he identified himself as an Islamic soldier and told a negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. He said that was why he was "out here right now," according to the excerpt.City officials have refused to provide hundreds of 911 calls to The Associated Press and a coalition of news organizations, citing confidentiality under Florida law, and arguing that an ongoing investigation kept the tapes secret. Hopper also said Monday that the tapes would not be released out of respect for the victims."Yes, the audio was compelling, but to expose that now would be excruciatingly painful to exploit them in this way," Hopper said.Hopper also said: "Part of redacting is to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist acts in the past. They are not going to propagate their violent rhetoric."The AP and others requested the 911 tapes and related data, a common practice after such major events. The recordings could offer insight into how law enforcement responded.Also at Monday's news conference, Orlando police Chief John Mina said that if any fire from responding officers hit victims at the club, gunman Mateen bears the responsibility. He wouldn't give further details but said: "Here's what I will tell you. Those killings are on the suspect, on the suspect alone in my mind." He stressed that the officers "acted heroically."Mina acknowledged that questions have been raised by media outlets and the public about whether Orlando police waited too long after the start of the rampage at 2 a.m. to send in a SWAT team about 5 a.m.He said an exchange of fire between police and Mateen shortly after 2 a.m. prompted the attacker to retreat into a bathroom and take hostages, shifting the incident from a shooting to a hostage-taking. Mina said there was no additional gunfire for about three hours until the SWAT team entered the building, although survivors have describing at least some firing taking place inside one of the bathrooms.Surviving hostage Patience Carter, in a live televised interview two days after the attacks, described the attacker firing when he entered the bathroom and more firing when the SWAT team burst into the building."I think there's this misconception that we didn't do anything for three hours," Mina said. "I'm trying to clarify: That's absolutely not true. Our officers were within the club within minutes, exchanging gunfire with the suspect, forced him to stop shooting and retreat into the bathroom.""From there, we let our negotiator take over and try to negotiate this to a peaceful resolution in an effort to save lives while our SWAT team set up," Mina said.Meanwhile, hospital officials said four people remained in critical condition Monday morning, more than a week after they were wounded in the attack.Orlando Regional Medical Center said 18 victims from the shooting were still at the hospital and three more surgeries were scheduled for Monday. The other 14 patients are listed in stable condition.Armed with a semi-automatic weapon, Mateen went on a bloody rampage at the Pulse nightclub June 12. He died in a hail of gunfire after police stormed the venue.U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch will travel to Orlando on Tuesday to meet with investigators. She said that a key goal of the investigation was to determine why Mateen targeted the gay community. The victims were predominantly gay and Hispanic since it was "Latin night" at Pulse.Around Orlando, people left balloons, flowers, pictures and posters at a makeshift memorial in front of the city's new performing arts centre and at Orlando Regional Medical Center where 49 white crosses were emblazoned with red hearts and the names of the victims.The crosses were built by a Chicago carpenter with a history of constructing crosses for victims of mass shootings. Greg Zanis drove from Illinois to Orlando last week and installed the crosses at the medical centre, where many of the 53 shooting victims who survived were taken for treatment.Dr. Khurshid Ahmed was part of a group of Muslim-Americans at a Sunday vigil attended by tens of thousands who held signs reading, "Muslims Condemn Extremism." A letter from the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Republican Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, said Mateen wrote on Facebook that "real Muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the West."___Tucker reported from Washington. Alex Sanz in Orlando and Jack Gillum and Sadie Gurman in Washington contributed to this report.

At Least 1,000 Protesters Swarm Church of Pastor Who Celebrated Orlando Massacre-[Inside Edition]-June 19, 2016-yahoonews

A legion of demonstrators showed up Sunday outside the California church where a pastor had praised the Orlando attack just hours after 49 people were murdered in a gay nightclub.At least 1,000 people protested Pastor Roger Jimenez at his Verity Baptist Church in Sacramento Sunday, many of them waving pro-LGBT signs and rainbow flags as parishioners struggled to maneuver through.Jimenez is seen a YouTube video of his June 12 sermon calling the clubgoers who were killed at the Pulse nightclub "pedophiles" whose deaths have made the world a safer place.On a Facebook page dedicated to the protest, and a smaller demonstration that took place Wednesday, an organizer wrote:"Our community is built on love and trust. We have our intra-social issues as any other community does, however we can band together when our community is hit with intolerance, indecency, hatred, ignorance, and blatant bigotry."In the YouTube video, which he posted the same day Omar Mateen sprayed the Pulse nightclub with bullets from his AR-15 style weapon, Jimenez wondered aloud to his congregation "Are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today?""Um – no – I think that's great! I think that helps society. I think Orlando, Florida, is a little safer tonight." A week later, at least a few protesters had to be dragged from the church by authorities as the LGBT community in Sacramento and neighboring areas showed up in force."We had a record-breaking attendance here this morning," the pastor told reporters outside his church. "Normally we have about 200 people...today we had 281."And I just wanted to thank the media for all the free publicity."

Health Canada reduces deferral period for sexually active gay men to one year-[thecanadianpress.com]-June 20, 2016-yahoonews

OTTAWA - Health Canada is making it easier for gay men to give blood, so long as they have been celibate for one year.Canadian Blood Services and Hema-Quebec will now be allowed to accept blood from men who have had sex with men as recently as one year ago.The government says the change comes after those agencies provided scientific data that the change would not compromise safety.The move brings Canada in line with a number of other countries, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland and France.Canada lifted the lifetime ban on gay men donating blood in 2013, requiring instead that potential male donors not have had sex with other men for five years.Health Minister Jane Philpott says the Liberal government is committed to working towards further reducing the waiting period, and wants to base the rules on behaviour, rather than sexual orientation.

Backing French peace push, EU ministers add carrots to sweeten deal-Foreign Affairs council offers economic incentives to jump-start moribund Israeli-Palestinian negotiations-By Raphael Ahren June 20, 2016, 5:44 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The European Union on Monday proposed “concrete” incentives for Israelis and Palestinians to restart peace negotiations at a peace summit later this year in Paris.During their monthly meeting in Brussels, the EU’s 28 foreign ministers tasked the European Commission and the EU’s External Action Service — its equivalent of a foreign ministry — to make a “concrete and substantial contribution” to international efforts seeking to revitalized the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process through a “global set of incentives” for both two parties.“The EU is determined, alongside other international and regional partners, to bring a concrete and substantial contribution to a global set of incentives for the parties to make peace with a view to an international conference planned to be held before the end of the year,” the foreign ministers said in a statement.Monday’s Foreign Affairs Council specifically mentions “economic incentives,” invoking the EU’s 2013 offer of an “unprecedented package of political, economic and security support to be offered to and developed with both parties in the context of a final status agreement.”Both Israelis and Palestinians “need to demonstrate, through policies and actions, a genuine commitment to a peaceful solution in order to rebuild mutual trust and create conditions for direct and meaningful negotiations aiming at ending the occupation that began in 1967, and resolving all permanent status issues,” the European foreign ministers said.The EU’s foreign ministers also unanimously endorsed the French peace initiative, which started with a conference in Paris earlier this month. Israel flatly rejected the French move, arguing that it hardens Palestinian negotiation positions and thus pushes off peace.The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem responded to the statement by repeating its rejection of the French peace initiative and calling for bilateral talks.“This is an unfortunate step that pushes back efforts to provide the peace that Israel needs,” the ministry said in a statement.Later this week, both President Reuven Rivlin and and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas are scheduled to meet separately with EU foreign policy czar Federica Mogherini.Also later this week, the Middle East Quartet, of which the EU is a part, is expected to publish its reports on the peace process. According to officials who have seen early drafts of the report, it outlines steps that both sides must take to advance a two-state solution, including the cessation of settlement expansion and incitement.

Netanyahu, Kerry said set to meet next week in new peace bid-Talks to take place in Europe, as Paris pushes its two-state initiative and Israel prefers to work with Egypt-By Times of Israel staff and AFP June 19, 2016, 8:22 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly to meet early next week with US Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss ways to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.Israel’s Channel 2 said the meeting would take place in a European capital. The Prime Minister’s Office did not immediately confirm the meeting, saying it would “make an announcement when there is something to announce.”The TV report said Netanyahu would tell Kerry he backs potential Egyptian-led efforts to revive negotiations, rather than the international approach being pushed by France.Netanyahu has recently given mixed signals on the Saudi-drafted Arab Peace Initiative as a means to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, suggesting partial support for it but also calling for it to be amended.His Foreign Ministry director-general, Dore Gold, told The Times of Israel three weeks ago that Israel believes improved ties with certain Arab states could enable subsequent progress with the Palestinians. “The conventional wisdom for the last few decades has been that a solution to the Palestinian issues will result in improved ties between Israel and the Arab world,” Gold said. “But there is a serious basis for thinking that, actually, the sequence is exactly the opposite — that by improving ties with the Arab states, we set the stage for a future breakthrough with the Palestinians.”The European Union’s foreign ministers are to meet Monday to vote in support of the French peace initiative.Earlier this month, representatives from 28 Arab and Western countries, the Arab League, the European Union and the United Nations met in Paris to discuss ways in which the international community could help advance the Palestinian-Israel peace process.Neither Israeli nor Palestinian representatives were invited to attend the meeting, which aimed to lay the groundwork for a full-fledged peace conference to be held by the end of the year.The Palestinians have welcomed the French bid, but Israel said the initiative would go down in history as having “pushed peace further away.”Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians have been at a standstill since a US-led initiative collapsed in April 2014 amid mutual recriminations.The official said that the overwhelming support for Paris’s proposal stems mostly from the fact that “there’s no other initiative on the table that tries to break the freeze in the peace process.”Monday’s summit of EU foreign ministers will be the latest in France’s efforts to bring the international community together for a peace conference. Senior French envoy Pierre Vimont, tasked with shepherding the peace effort, met Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry Friday for talks on future steps he will take to prepare for a conference to revive the moribund peace process.The Arab League said its secretary general Nabil Elaraby held similar talks with Vimont.On Thursday, Egyptian ambassador Hazem Khairat said Cairo was willing to help create an “appropriate Palestinian environment” to facilitate an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.During a speech at the Herzliya Conference, Khairat hailed the current French peace initiative “as contributing to the framework of international action to this end.”The ministerial meeting in Paris earlier this month, he said, “has certainly made a new step toward peace.”

Herzog agreed to ’67 lines in talks with Abbas, report says-In negotiations with PA leader ahead of 2015 elections, envoy for prospective PM learned a deal was possible ‘on everything’-By Dov Lieber June 19, 2016, 11:32 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog held secret talks with PA President Mahmoud Abbas during the 2014-2015 election cycle, and agreed to cede the entire West Bank and East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as part of a future peace deal, according to report published on Thursday.Herzog’s negotiator, former minister Efraim Sneh, and a Palestinian Authority representative who remained unnamed reached an agreement under which Palestinian refugees would receive financial compensation, the Western Wall would remain under Israeli control, and Israel would retain a “symbolic” military presence in the Jordan Valley, alongside Palestinian and Jordanian soldiers, Channel 10 reported.“I learned that there is someone to talk with, something to talk about, and that we can arrive at understandings on everything,” Sneh said of the negotiations.He said that the provisional negotiations was cut short by the result of the elections, which saw Herzog, who was thought to have a chance to win the premiership, soundly lose to Netanyahu.According to the report, which cited an agreed document setting out the understandings, Herzog was willing to withdraw to the 1967 lines in full, with the exception of mutual land swaps on four percent of the territory. Land swaps would be negotiated so that Israel could retain control of its largest settlement blocs.The final-status equation for Jerusalem would have seen the east of the city become the capital of a Palestinian state, with a single municipality responsible for the two capitals.The Temple Mount — the site on which the two ancient Jewish temples once stood and where the Islamic holy sites of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock now stand — was supposed to be under the authority of a multinational force, but with Israeli sovereignty over the Western Wall, the report said.The Palestinian refugee issue was to be settled based on UN Resolution 194 and the Arab Peace Initiative, according to the report, with financial compensation for the majority of refugees and a “symbolic” return for some based on a “joint decision.”UN Resolution 194, somewhat different than what was presented in the report, calls for the allowance of any refugee wishing to return to their homes to be able to do so, and financial compensation for those who do not return. The Arab Peace Initiative, a proposal that would see all Arab and Islamic states establish normal diplomatic relations with Israel after the successful conclusion of the peace process with the Palestinians, calls for a just solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees to be agreed upon in accordance with the UN General Assembly Resolution No. 194.The UN today says there are five million Palestinian refugees. That number has grown more than five-fold since the 1948 Israeli War of Independence because the UN also designates as refugees second, third and subsequent generations of descendants of Palestinians who used to live in what is now Israel and the West Bank.Herzog confirmed the talks with Abbas, although he did not confirm the specifics, and asserted that had they come to fruition they would have forestalled the wave of violence that swept across Israel and the West Bank in late 2015 and early 2016.“During the talks with the Palestinian Authority president in 2014, I made efforts aimed at reaching understandings that would have prevented the wave of terror that I anticipated, just like the efforts I am now making so that the abandonment of the initiative for a regional conference by the extreme right-wing government won’t lead us to another war,” he said. “After rounds of wars and funerals nearly every year and over the past decade, I won’t listen to the mantra that threats can only be subdued through military force.”Herzog added: “Most peace agreements came after a difficult round of bloodshed between peoples fighting each other. The right always offers us war and then runs to sign peace treaties. We are just offering to reverse the order and prevent hundreds of fathers and mothers from visiting military cemeteries. The right should also consider this.”During the Taba Summit, the final chapter of negotiations between Israel and the PLO before the breakout of the Second Intifada in 2001, Israel reportedly offered 97% of the West Bank.In 2008, during negotiations between then-prime minister Ehud Olmert and Abbas, Israel offered to retain 6.3% of the West Bank and offered 5.8% of Israel proper in return.Abbas has said that negotiations with Olmert nearly led to an agreement, but then the former prime minister fell into legal troubles and was out of office.Abbas said he also felt Olmert’s offer to accept a symbolic number of Palestinian refugees into Israel did not resolve the issue .The current Israeli government is calling for direct negotiations with the PA, but the Palestinians are instead pinning their hopes on the French initiative, which calls for a regional and international approach to negotiations.

Herzog blasted by opposition party chief for offer to split Jerusalem-Yair Lapid decries peace negotiations between opposition leader and Mahmoud Abbas as poorly managed, says it ‘weakened’ Israel’s left-By Times of Israel staff and Dov Lieber June 20, 2016, 6:23 pm

Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid bashed opposition leader Isaac Herzog on Sunday for allegedly offering the West Bank and East Jerusalem to the Palestinians in secret talks with PA President Mahmoud Abbas in 2014-2015, calling it “dangerous and wrong.”The criticism marked the opening of a rare rift between the two opposition parties, and came as Herzog has been pilloried by his own party for being an ineffectual leader in challenging the ruling coalition.Lapid’s remarks came after Channel 10 reported Thursday that Herzog and Abbas worked through proxies ahead of Israeli elections last year to reach a framework for a future peace deal under which Palestinian refugees would receive financial compensation and the Western Wall would remain under Israeli control, Channel 10 news reported on Thursday.Those talks fell apart after Herzog lost to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the March 2015 election.During a weekly party meeting, Lapid took Herzog to task for the alleged agreement, calling it a “classic mistake of the left.”The Yesh Atid leader took particular issue with Herzog’s plans to divide Jerusalem, giving the eastern parts of the city to the Palestinians and placing the Temple Mount under the control of a multinational force, except for the Western Wall.“This was a dangerous and wrong move. Jerusalem cannot be divided,” Lapid said.“This is a classic mistake of the left, which always runs to announce ahead of time what it’s prepared to give up. That’s not how you negotiate in the Middle East,” he continued.Herzog confirmed the talks with Abbas, although he did not confirm the specifics, and asserted that had they come to fruition they would have forestalled the wave of violence that swept across Israel and the West Bank in late 2015 and early 2016.“During the talks with the Palestinian Authority president in 2014, I made efforts aimed at reaching understandings that would have prevented the wave of terror that I anticipated, just like the efforts I am now making so that the abandonment of the initiative for a regional conference by the extreme right-wing government won’t lead us to another war,” he said. “After rounds of wars and funerals nearly every year and over the past decade, I won’t listen to the mantra that threats can only be subdued through military force.”On Sunday, Lapid also gloated over the recent reports that Netanyahu had plans to meet with US Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss the stalled peace negotiations with the Palestinians and the possibility of going forward with the French peace initiative.“Two years ago, during the past government, I turned to the prime minister — also publicly — and warned of the international break we are seeing today. I propose to [Netanyahu] exactly what he’s doing today,” Lapid said.“I warned him that if we didn’t do it, there would be attempts to force a solution upon us from outside,” added Lapid.During the Taba Summit, the final chapter of negotiations between Israel and the PLO before the breakout of the Second Intifada in 2001, Israel reportedly offered 97% of the West Bank.In 2008, during negotiations between then-prime minister Ehud Olmert and Abbas, Israel offered to retain 6.3% of the West Bank and offered 5.8% of Israel proper in return.Abbas has said that negotiations with Olmert nearly led to an agreement, but then the former prime minister fell into legal troubles and was out of office.Abbas said he also felt Olmert’s offer to accept a symbolic number of Palestinian refugees into Israel did not resolve the issue.The current Israeli government is calling for direct negotiations with the PA, but the Palestinians are instead pinning their hopes on the French initiative, which calls for a regional and international approach to negotiations.

Israel confirms it’ll ratify nuke test ban, ‘at the right time’-Netanyahu tells UN official that commitment to treaty, which Jerusalem has already signed, depends on ‘regional context’-By Stuart Winer and AP June 20, 2016, 3:19 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Israel said Monday it would ratify a treaty banning nuclear tests, a move that could be significant for Middle East peace, but only at “the right time.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Lassina Zerbo, the visiting head of the UN organization created to implement the treaty, that Israel supports the terms and therefore signed it, his office said in a statement.But the further matter of ratification depends on “the regional context and the appropriate timing,” Netanyahu said.His comments were backed up by Zerbo, who told The Associated Press after their meeting that the prime minister considered the issue of ratifying the treaty a matter of “when, rather than if.”Israeli ratification would move the treaty closer to taking effect, leaving only seven holdouts among the 44 countries that must ratify it for the pact to go live.Zerbo came to Israel at the invitation of the head of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, Zeev Senir. It was Zerbo’s third visit to Israel and was made to mark the 20th anniversary of the treaty being opened for signatories.While the prime minister did not commit himself to a specific time frame for ratification, Zerbo said that is “normal in diplomacy.”He said ratification by Israel would help pave the way for a nuclear test-free zone in the Middle East.According to the UN, by signing a treaty a country expresses willingness to accept the terms while allowing a period for domestic approval, and “does not establish the consent to be bound.” Ratification is an indication of “consent to be bound to a treaty.”The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, known as the CTBT, has 196 member states — 183 that have signed the treaty and 164 that have ratified it. But the treaty has not entered into force because it still needs ratification by eight countries that had nuclear power reactors or research reactors when the UN General Assembly adopted the treaty in 1996: the United States, China, Iran, Israel, Egypt, India, Pakistan and North Korea. The treaty was embraced by the United Nations on September 10, 1996.Israel has never officially admitted to possessing nuclear weapons, with successive governments maintaining ambiguity and indicating that the Jewish state would not be the first to use them in a conflict. However, the country is widely estimated to have some 80-200 nuclear warheads.The early 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and related technologies, has not been signed by four countries — India, Israel, Pakistan, and South Sudan.

Arafat’s shadowy money man visits Israel — report-Palestinian media says Muhammad Rashid arrived with Kurdish delegation, met with Israeli officials and Syrian rebels-By Avi Issacharoff June 20, 2016, 1:46 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Deceased Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s former money man Muhammad Rashid visited Israel on June 12 and held meetings with Israeli officials as well as figures connected to Syrian rebel groups, the official newspaper of the Palestinian Authority, Al-Hayat al-Jadida, reported.According to the report, Rashid traveled on a Canadian passport, arrived with a delegation of senior officials from Iraqi Kurdistan, and stayed at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. During the visit, Rashid, who is a fugitive from the PA, where he has been convicted of embezzlement, was said to have met with Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein and an IDF intelligence officer.From Jerusalem, Rashid reportedly went on to Haifa and met with senior Israeli officials at a restaurant, where the delegation was hosted by Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoub Kara, a confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Kara told The Times of Israel that “it is no secret that I am connected to the Kurds, the Yazidis, and the Syrian Druze,” but refused to discuss specific details of the Palestinian media report.“There is a war today between terror entities in Iran and the relatively free world, backed by Saudi Arabia,” Kara said. “We are obliged to develop connections with the relatively free world in order to overcome the extremist religious trend. I don’t intend to comment on the visit of one person or another. But almost every day I have meetings with different people with the aim of preventing terrorism. And that includes [putting myself in] personal danger and entering dangerous places. I hope that these activities will bear fruit.”According to Al-Hayat al-Jadida, last Wednesday Rashid, who was accompanied by “a senior intelligence office in the Israeli army,” met with a former senior commander in the al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebel group Al-Nusra Front, named in the report as “Mustafa Ali Albabadi,” who it said is hospitalized in Israel.Israel routinely takes in and treats Syrians injured in the civil war, and the IDF has set up a field hospital along the border, though it transports more serious cases to hospitals elsewhere in the country. It says it does this without prejudice to which side of the civil war the injured was fighting on.The report framed the meeting as proof that Albabadi had left the ranks of Al-Nusra.After the meeting with Albabadi, Rashid and his entourage were said to continue to the border on the Golan Heights, where they met “in the area of Quneitra” with “a Syrian rebel faction that has an open relationship with the Israel security forces.” The IDF intelligence officer was present at that meeting too, the report claimed.In June 2012 the Palestinian anti-corruption court convicted Rashid of siphoning off millions of dollars in public funds, sentencing him to 15 years in prison.The court, concluding its highest-profile probe, found Rashid guilty of embezzlement and money laundering. In addition to the prison sentence, he was fined $15 million and his properties were ordered confiscated.He and two associates were convicted of taking a total of $33.5 million from the foreign donor-financed Palestinian Investment Fund.Rashid, who in the past has denied wrongdoing, was sentenced in absentia by the court in the West Bank city of Ramallah. He left the Palestinian territories after Arafat’s death in November 2004 and has rarely been seen since. He is said to hold business interests in four Middle Eastern countries and Montenegro.Times of Israel staff and AP contributed to this report.

REVELATION 7:1-17 (144,000 MESSIANIC JEWS PREACH WORLDWIDE) (TRIBULATION CONTINUES)
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this (AFTER MOSES,ELIJAH AND THE 144,000 PREACHERS-PREACHING DURING THE TRIBULATION) I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Long-delayed heritage center for Ethiopian Jewry launches in Jerusalem-Organizers say ‘better late than never,’ though it’ll still be at least 4 years before the facility opens--By Melanie Lidman June 20, 2016, 12:21 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Four years after the government passed a law to establish the National Institute for Ethiopian Jewry Heritage Center, the newly formed board of the center on Sunday hosted a celebratory launch at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem.The establishment of the institute marks the first time that the government has taken an active role in preserving Ethiopian Jewish culture and traditions. “This center is being created to share the incredible traditions of Ethiopian Jewry with the people in Israel and across the Jewish world,” said Dr. Simcha Getahune, the chair of the public committee for the center.In a video message broadcast to the 2,000 attendees, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted that the center would help preserve “traditions that were passed on orally, from grandfather to father and father to son.“It will be a place to store historical knowledge and for children to learn the tradition and the culture,” he said.Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev touched on the decades of discrimination that Ethiopian Jews have faced in Israel, after making some awkward comments about the beauty of Ethiopian women.“This center is the government trying to implement a correction,” said Regev. “This community has fought for years for their rights, and for many years there was no way for this community to tell their own story. They were the victims of racism and discrimination, I feel personal responsibility to correct these wrongs.”The event took place the day before the Chief Rabbinate announced it would not renew the contract of Ethiopian Chief Rabbi Yosef Hadane, reportedly due to his public criticism of the rabbinate over its discriminatory policies concerning Ethiopians, including demanding conversion certificates before marriage.At Sunday’s celebration, Regev also applauded MK Avraham Neguise (Likud) for his efforts to bring 9,000 Falashmura to Israel. Falashmura are Ethiopian Jews who converted to Christianity generations ago and desperately want to move to Israel. Their aliyah was supposed to have begun in June but has not progressed.“Equality must also come through cultural channels as well, and this is why government support is imperative,” said Regev. “There needs to be an Ethiopian theater just like there is Sephardi and Yiddish theater.”The Ethiopian Heritage Center receives a yearly allotment from the government of a bit more than NIS three million ($777,000), according to the newly appointed CEO, Danny Adamsu. The HaBima theater, the national theater in Tel Aviv, receives at least NIS 20 million per year.Adamsu said the organization is currently looking for a building in Jerusalem, and expects to open in about four years. The center will be a place for research as well as performance and rehearsal spaces.He said the leadership committee for the center was focused on the future, rather than being frustrated that it took almost 30 years after the first wave of Ethiopian immigration for the government to start recognizing the importance of preserving these cultural traditions. “We need to bless what there is and go forward,” he said. “We all believe that it’s better late than never.”The celebratory kickoff of the event featured Ethiopian singers, dancers, actors, philosophers, politicians, rabbis, and teachers. Sharon Shalom, a professor at Bar-Ilan University and rabbi of a congregation in Kiryat Gat, addressed the tension within the Ethiopian community about honoring their identity, after decades of trying to assimilate into Israeli culture.“After I published one of my books on Ethiopian Jewry, someone called me up and said, ‘You made a big error!’” Shalom recalled. “He said to me, ‘Why did you tell people that we should keep these Ethiopian Jewish traditions? We’ve made so much progress in the past 30 years!’ But in reality, in order to continue going forward, we must also look backwards.”

Spanish village formerly named ‘Kill Jews’ twins with Israeli town-Kfar Vradim in northern Galilee signs agreement with newly monikered ‘Jews’ Hill’ to promote cultural, commercial ties-By Times of Israel staff and AP June 20, 2016, 5:57 am

The ancient Spanish town of Castrillo Matajudios (“Camp Kill Jews”) that changed its name last year to Castrillo Mota de Judios (“Jews’ Hill Camp”) has twinned with the northern Israeli town of Kfar Vradim (Village of the Roses).A delegation from Castrillo Mota de Judios arrived in Israel on Sunday for a ceremony designating the two as twin towns to promote cultural, touristic and commercial ties.The signing was attended by the mayor of the Spanish town, Lorenzo Rodriguez, and the Spanish Ambassador to Israel, Fernando Carderera.“We’re here in the Promised Land to safeguard the roots of the town, established in 1035, “said Rodriguez alongside the head of the Kfar Vradim local council, Sivan Yehieli.Rodriguez said the agreement twinning the towns marks a “new chapter in the history of Castrillo Mota de Judios,” announcing that archaeological digs were recently launched to “rediscover ancient roots” and set up a Jewish culture museum in the town.No Jews live in the village today but many residents have Jewish roots and the town’s official shield includes the Star of David.Yehieli also welcomed the agreement, saying that when he first received the request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs “and after learning the story of the town, we didn’t decide for a moment.”Last October, the town changed its name, a year after the north-central village of some 50 inhabitants voted to do so after the mayor argued it was offensive and the village should honor its Jewish origins.Documents show the village’s original name was “Jews’ Hill Camp” and that the “Kill Jews” name dates from 1627, after a 1492 Spanish edict ordering Jews to convert to Catholicism or flee the country. Those who remained faced the Spanish Inquisition, with many burned at the stake.Israeli Ambassador Daniel Kutner said the town’s decision to celebrate its Jewish past was to be praised. “It must be remembered that the expulsion from Spain was for Jews a traumatic event of historical dimensions and set out the trajectory for the Jewish people from there on,” he said at the brief ceremony in October before a road sign bearing the new name was placed at the town’s entrance.The change did not go unchallenged and the town has faced some vandalism as a result, according to the mayor-The name change was formally approved by the regional government of Castilla y Leon in June.Researchers believe the village got its previous name from Jewish residents who converted to Catholicism and wanted to reinforce their repudiation of Judaism to convince Spanish authorities of their loyalty. Others suspect the change may have come from a slip of the pen.

Israel seizes wet suits believed to be heading to Hamas-Scuba gear thought planned for sea-borne attack hidden among shipment of sporting goods sent by Palestinian Authority to Gaza Strip-By Judah Ari Gross June 20, 2016, 7:04 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Israeli border agents confiscated a shipment of wet suits they suspected of being en route to Hamas in the Gaza Strip to be used for a seaborne attack on Israel, the Defense Ministry said Monday.Bearing uncanny resemblance to an incident last year, the wet suits were hidden in a shipment of sportswear coming in to the coastal enclave from the Palestinian Authority through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, the ministry said.“The shipment was seized and an investigation has been opened to locate those involved,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.Wet suits require a special permit to be imported into the Gaza Strip, lest they wind up in the hands of Hamas’s naval commando unit.During the 2014 Gaza war, a team of five Hamas frogmen entered Israel from the shore and approached a nearby Jewish community before they were spotted and taken out by an attack helicopter.Last month, Israeli authorities foiled an attempt to smuggle metal pipes and motors into the Gaza Strip, which could have been used for building rockets and tunnels, the Defense Ministry said at the time.In that case as well, the illicit materials were “camouflaged,” stuck in alongside “textiles and jewelry.”This practice of hiding illegal goods among approved products has become the go-to method for smugglers. Earlier this year, electrodes were discovered hidden in butter from a Ramallah factory.

British Jewry faces Brexit vote with fear and trepidation-For Jews there are three big questions regarding a continuing relationship with Europe: its attitudes to Israel, ritual slaughter and circumcision-By Jenni Frazer June 20, 2016, 3:02 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

LONDON — As Britain heads into the last few days of campaigning before the historic referendum on whether to stay in or leave the European Union, only one thing is clear: This will be a narrow, knife-edge, vote.Just a week ago those pressing for “Brexit” — a British exit from Europe — were ahead in the polls by around five to seven points. But on Sunday the respected polling organization YouGov published two polls showing a swing back to “Remain,” in support of the status quo.The tragic murder of the MP Jo Cox, a leading figure in the Remain camp, may not have had a direct impact on Sunday’s YouGov polls, given that most of the research in one poll took place before her death. But few British citizens can have heard the words of her alleged killer, Thomas Mair, without a shudder, when he was asked to identify himself in court at the weekend. Instead of giving his name, Mair said, “My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain.”Appalled Jews across the community were united in their response — not just grief for the death of a young woman, but horror at what her murder meant in terms of the European debate.In the last weeks before the referendum on June 23, the campaign has divided clearly into an at times ill-tempered debate about immigration and its effect on Britain. On the day of Jo Cox’s murder, the right-wing UKIP leader Nigel Farage unveiled a controversial poster denounced as racist across the political spectrum. A picture of Syrian refugees walking into Europe through Slovenia — though not identified as such by UKIP — the clear intention was to fuel a fear of immigrants if Britain stays in Europe.A Jewish Chronicle poll conducted in May showed that 49 percent of British Jews wanted to remain in Europe. Just over a third of those balloted (34%) backed Brexit, but 17% said at the time that they had not yet made up their minds. Age made a great difference to responses, as younger voters — who have, of course, never known a Britain not in the EU — were keener to remain, while older people, many of whom may have taken part in the 1975 decision to join the European Union, were more supportive of leaving.West Germany, France and four other nations formed the European Economic Community in 1957, determined to banish forever the bloodshed of two world wars. The grouping became the EU in 1993 and has grown into a 28-nation bloc of more than 500 million people stretching from Ireland to the Aegean Sea, with substantial powers over member states’ laws, economies and social policies. It has its own parliament, central bank and 19 EU members use a common currency, the euro.Many Britons feel their island nation — a former imperial power with strong ties to the United States — is fundamentally different to its European neighbors. Anti-EU Britons resent everything from fishing quotas to fruit sizes being decided in Brussels.The anti-EU view is especially strong in the Conservative Party of Prime Minister David Cameron. It was partly to appease his party that Cameron promised to hold a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017.Supporters say Britain’s economy and security are enhanced by EU membership. They argue that membership makes it much easier for British companies both large and small to import and export goods to other member countries with minimum hassle. Supporters say being part of the 28-nation bloc gives them many more options and makes it easy for them to live and work in other countries.-Jews in Britain have traditionally been nervous of appearing to speak with one voice on UK politics-Labour Party leaders also argue that European rules and regulations and European courts have improved the way British workers are treated. They say removing these protections could lower living standards.Jews in Britain have traditionally been nervous of appearing to speak with one voice on UK politics. But when the campaign really got underway in February this year, many Jews were horrified to see their nemesis, the vituperatively anti-Israel politician George Galloway, join UKIP’s Nigel Farage on stage to back the Brexit argument.Privately, many Jews felt that a campaign backed by both men was something from which they wanted to distance themselves as far as possible. This has continued to be the case despite the involvement of some “Jew-friendly” politicians in the Leave camp such as the outgoing mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and the Justice Secretary, Michael Gove.-European Jews would feel a cold wind on many fronts without the support of their British cousins-For Jews there are three big questions regarding Europe: the attitude to Israel, and the future of shechita (ritual slaughter) and circumcision. Britain’s membership of the EU has allowed this country’s Jewish community to take a leading role in defending all three positions. Though there are 27 member states of the EU, only Britain, France and Germany have significant Jewish populations and the expertise to deal with these challenges. European Jews would feel a cold wind on many fronts without the support of their British cousins.And British Jews, in the last several months, have had even more reason to wonder about the impact of Brexit, as thousands of French Jews, fleeing anti-Semitism, have made their homes in London. The French Jews are boosting once moribund UK synagogues and giving a new tone to Jewish education — some Jewish primary schools now have near 60% French Jewish children. And what would happen to French Jews in the UK if Britain votes to leave? Last Tuesday London Jews had the opportunity to hear both sides of the debate as Education Secretary Nicky Morgan went head-to-head with the former Conservative MP Douglas Carswell, who is now UKIP’s only representative in Westminster.Nicky Morgan is one of Cameron’s closest allies in the Remain campaign but the audience, according to reports, was keener on arguments made by Carswell, who warned of the future of shechita resting in the hands of “faceless bureaucrats” in Brussels and the potential damage done to Israel by EU insistence on specific food labelling.Morgan attacked Carswell for promoting what she described as a “nasty” and “mean spirited view” on refugees — an argument which has also struck a chord with a community who are overwhelmingly the children and grandchildren of Jewish refugees and immigrants.The June debate followed one hosted by the Board of Deputies last month, with Daniel Hannan, Conservative member of the European Parliament for South East England, making the case for Brexit, and upcoming Labour MP Wes Streeting (himself a close friend of Jo Cox) speaking on behalf of the Remain campaign.The European project has brought post-war peace to the continent and relative peace of mind to its Jews. British Jews, buffeted by depression at the anti-Semitic convulsions in the opposition Labour Party, and with a naturally “conservative” with a small “c” bent, are perhaps more likely to stick with what they know and vote to stay in.However, in Israel, an advocacy group that is allied with the West Bank settler movement is urging British-Israelis to vote in favor of leaving the European Union in Britain’s referendum this week.Regavim says the European Union is biased against Israel and says voters should oppose the 28-nation bloc and try to weaken it by encouraging Britain to leave. (The EU considers settlements to be illegal.)Regavim claims that European aid money to the Palestinians has reached terrorists, and that the EU is funding illegal Palestinian construction in the West Bank. It also alleges an EU rule labeling settlement exports to Europe is anti-Semitic, and that the EU funds hostile anti-Israel groups.There is no denying people’s nervousness and fear of the unknown. A friend applied last month to cash in pension savings and contacted the pensions company when there was no response after six weeks.“Well,” said a slightly embarrassed official, “it’s the Brexit polls. People don’t know what’s going to happen if we leave Europe so they are trying to get their hands on their money. We can barely cope — we’ve had to take on more staff.”The first results of the EU referendum will be known when voting closes at 10 pm on Thursday June 23.
