ISIS gloats with horrific images of bodies strewn between tables 'from inside Bangladesh restaurant where they killed at least 20 and injured 40' - as police finally end siege and free 14 hostages-By Mia De Graaf For Dailymail.com and Imogen Calderwood For Mailonline and Agencies-Updated: 08:05 GMT, 2 July 2016

Bangladeshi commandos have stormed a restaurant that had been attacked by ISIS freeing some 13 hostages. Armed terrorists raided the building in Dhaka's upmarket Gulshan quarter taking at least 30 hostages including a large number of foreigners. The terrorists were surrounded by elite commandos for more than 10 hours before the security forces recaptured the building.Six of the ISIS jihadis were killed along with an unspecified number of civilians. The gunmen were armed with high-powered automatic weapons when they entered the Holey Artisan Bakery, which is in the capital's diplomatic zone. The ISIS media wing has claimed responsibility for the attack which was launched on the final Friday of Ramadan, as millions of Muslims prepare to celebrate the Eid holiday. The final ten days of Ramadan are the most solemn in the Islamic calendar. However, Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina condemned the terrorists, one of who has been arrested alive. He said: 'Because of the effort of the joint force, the terrorists could not flee. 'Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act. They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.'Two police officers were killed, including a local police station chief, Mohammed Salahuddin, who was earlier injured in the shoot-out. According to a local photojournalist, Mr Salahuddin was asked by his colleagues not to cross the cordon as he was not wearing a bullet-proof vest.Just moments after he crossed the line, according to the Daily Star in Dhaka, he was shot. A second policeman, Robiul Islam, assistant commissioner of Uttara zone Detective Branch, has also died in the shooting, top police officials confirmed. Another 25 officers and one civilian are being treated for injuries from gunshots and shrapnel, with 10 people in a critical condition, according to hospital authorities.ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist activity. SITE said ISIS' Amaq News Agency reported ISIS terrorists had carried out the attack.Speaking after the raid, Lieutenant Colonel Tuhin Mohammed Masud, commander of the Rapid Action Battalion said: 'We have gunned down at least six terrorists and the main building is cleared but the operation is still going on.'He said there were casualties among other hostages, but did not provide details.A Japanese government spokesman said that a Japanese hostage was rescued with a gunshot wound but seven others are unaccounted for. Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Hagiuda said that the eight were together at the restaurant at the time of the attack.One member of staff from the restaurant who managed to escape, Sumon Reza, told Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star: 'They blasted several crude bombs, causing wide-scale panic among everyone.'I managed to flee during this confusion.' He added: 'They came armed with pistols, swords and bombs. They shouted Allahu Akbar [God is great] before blasting the bombs.' .A police officer assists an injured colleague outside the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe, currently under a hostage siege by armed gunmen.Two police officers injured earlier in the shoot-out have been confirmed dead, according to local media reports-Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have surrounded the Spanish restaurant, as communications are believed to be underway in an attempt to save their lives of those inside-http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3670353/Gunmen-attack-restaurant-Dhakas-diplomatic-quarter-police-witness.html#ixzz4DEmye05M

Istanbul airport bombers 'planned hostage-taking'-[AFP]-July 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Istanbul (AFP) - The suicide attackers who launched the deadly Istanbul airport assault were planning to take dozens of passengers hostage, Turkish media reported Friday, as two of the bombers were identified.Turkish officials have pointed blame at the Islamic State jihadist group for Tuesday night's gun and bomb spree at Ataturk airport, which left 44 people dead including 19 foreigners."They say they are doing this in the name of Islam," President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on a visit to Istanbul."That has nothing to do with Islam. Their place is in hell," he added.State-run news agency Anadolu said 24 people had been detained in Istanbul in a string of raids over the attack, including 15 foreigners.Citing a prosecution source, the agency named two of the attackers as Rakim Bulgarov and Vadim Osmanov, without giving their nationalities.Officials had previously said the three bombers were a Russian, an Uzbek and a Kyrgyz national.- 'Number one enemy' -Turkish media identified the strike's organiser as Akhmed Chatayev, the Chechen leader of an IS cell in Istanbul who reportedly found accommodation for the bombers.Chatayev allegedly organised two deadly bombings this year in the heart of the city's Sultanahmet tourist district and the busy Istiklal shopping street, the Hurriyet newspaper said.Michael McCaul, chairman of the US House Committee on Homeland Security, described Chatayev as "probably the number one enemy in the Northern Caucasus region of Russia"."He's travelled to Syria on many occasions and became one of the top lieutenants for the minister of war for ISIS operations," McCaul told CNN.Swedish court documents seen by AFP showed the 36-year-old had been sentenced to 16 months in jail there in 2008 for arms trafficking, after which he would be deported.He had been granted political asylum in Austria in 2003.The pro-government Sabah newspaper reported that the attackers scouted the scene and planned to take dozens of passengers hostage inside before carrying out a massacre.But they began the assault early after attracting suspicion, Sabah said.CCTV images released by police show the three alleged attackers arriving, wearing dark coats over their suicide vests -- clothing that was much too heavy for a hot summer night.More images show a plainclothes police officer confronting one of the men by an elevator and asking to see his identification. The attacker pulls out a gun and shoots him.- 'Like bandits' -Turkey has been rocked by a series of attacks in the past year blamed on either IS jihadists or Kurdish rebels.These have taken a heavy hit on tourism, and on Friday Germany warned its citizens to exercise particular caution if they travel to Turkey.The latest assault sparked global condemnation, with consuls from a dozen countries around Europe and beyond gathering at the airport Friday to lay flowers in memory of the victims.Hundreds of mourners also gathered in Istanbul on Thursday for the funeral of popular 28-year-old teacher Huseyin Tunc, who was at the airport to welcome a friend."We still can't believe it," one of his pupils, Batuhan Karabey, told AFP."He was more than a teacher to us -- he was like a big brother, helping us a lot."The Hurriyet newspaper reported that the bombers had rented a flat in Istanbul's Fatih district, home to many Syrians and other Arabs, and paid 24,000 Turkish lira ($8,300, 7,500 euros) in advance for a year's rent.The police raided the apartment after the attack, according to an upstairs neighbour, who said the men kept the curtains closed.She never saw the attackers, but she heard them, and complained to neighbourhood officials about a strange smell."A very weird, chemical smell," she told Hurriyet."Police came after the bombing... I lived on top of the bomb."Hurriyet also quoted a local plumber, identified only by his initials E.S., who said one of the attackers came to his shop to ask if he could fix their tap."He spoke in broken Turkish. He took me home," the plumber said."I changed the tap. I saw three people inside. They looked like bandits -- one of them always stood by me."

Denmark mulls new referendum on EU police agency-By EUOBSERVER

30. Jun, 09:28-Denmark's ruling liberal party is warming toward a new referendum to join EU police agency Europol after a large majority in last December's referendum (53.1% said No) - refused to join EU justice and home affairs policies. Before new year, Denmark must have secured a deal to join Europol or a new referendum will be held. "We can't just keep waiting," the party's EU spokesperson Jan E. Joergensen told Politiken.

Focus-Slovak EU presidency aims to take power away from Brussels By Eric Maurice-JUNE 30,16-EUOBSERVER

Bratislava, Today, 20:43-Slovakia is taking on the EU presidency on Friday (1 July) with a "positive agenda" and an ambition to reshape the balance of powers within the EU, in the wake of the British decision to leave.The Slovak government, which in recent months has been at loggerheads with the European Commission and some other member states over the EU scheme to relocate asylum seekers, will seek "constructive discussions," prime minister Robert Fico said.It will "focus on a positive agenda, not on topics that divide us," he told journalists in Bratislava on Thursday.He said migration would feature high on the presidency's agenda and that the EU would have to "refocus and redefine policies that are unsuccessful".Fico pointed out that opinion polls showed that "a vast majority of Europeans disagree with the current state of migration policy in Europe". Slovakia's role as EU president, Fico explained, would be to "create a forum" to allow member states to discuss the commission's proposals."We have to focus on mechanisms that function, not on those that don't function," he said, referring to the relocation mechanism.-Informal summit-The Brexit and its consequences have added a new item on Slovakia's presidency agenda. An informal summit about the future of the EU, without the UK, will be held in Bratislava on 16 September."Brussels has a negative reputation in Europe," Fico said to explain why he asked to organise the EU leaders meeting in the Slovak capital instead of the EU capital.Although only informal, it will be the first EU summit held outside Brussels since 2000, when the EU decided to end summits in the country holding the rotating presidency.Fico said that Slovakia had "great expectations for this summit" because it would launch a process where all 27 remaining member states of the EU would have a say."Crucial decisions on the future of Europe cannot be decided by a small group of member states," referring to recent meetings of foreign ministers from the EU's six founding countries.He said that decisions must now get the support of the "newer member states"."It is high time to acknowledge that these countries have a unique experience of transformation," Fico said, referring to the political and economical transition since the fall of communism.-'Brexit brings a new dynamic'-The Slovak premier added that he hoped that the discussions in a 27-format would be "the standard working method for the future."With this process, members states will reclaim the power of initiative from other EU institutions, in particular the commission.The meeting was proposed before last week's EU referendum in the UK but was agreed only at this week's summit in Brussels.It will be an opportunity for Slovakia to push for a more inter-governmental EU."The best [way] to improve the EU now is too establish strong ownership of reforms by member states," a Slovak official said and added that "Brexit brings a new dynamic."-'Citizens don't live in institutions'-Slovakia aims to change the balance of power between institutions, Fico's foreign minister Miroslav Lajcak explained."Citizens don't live in institutions, they live in member states," he told journalists.He said that "policies have to be driven by member states" and that the EU administration was there "to make sure that there is no conflict between political decision and their implementation".He said that some member states felt they were sidelined."When the EU council [where member states sit] agrees on something, the commission comes with proposals that are divisive," mainly referring to proposals on refugee sharing.But the "last thing" he wanted to see was a competition between institutions."We don't need finger pointing," Lajcak said. "We all share the responsibility of failures and the responsibility to find solutions."

Analysis-Is the EU trying to scare the UK into staying in? By Eric Maurice-JUNE 30,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 30. Jun, 09:22-There is "no way back from the Brexit vote,” German chancellor Angela Merkel said after an EU summit on Tuesday (29 June), reflecting the view of other EU leaders.They set out a tough road ahead for the UK and the prime minister who will succeed David Cameron in September.Article 50, the legal framework for the exit process, will have to be triggered "as quickly as possible". Until then, there will be "no negotiations of any kind" about future relations between the EU and the UK.The only way for the UK to discuss the post-referendum situation is to enter a two-year process that leads out of the EU.And when talks start, there will be "no cherry-picking", EU leaders added. Britain will not be able to pick and choose from EU law.In particular, EU leaders stressed that to access the EU single market, Britain will have to accept "all four freedoms" - freedoms of movement for goods, services, capital and people.Many in the UK refer to Norway as a model of a non-EU country with access to the 500-million people EU market.An EU diplomat pointed out that in this case, and in addition to the acceptance of the four freedoms, the UK would have to be a member of the Schengen free-movement area and pay a "substantial financial contribution".-Rules of divorce-In short, the EU is telling Britain that Brexit will not pay and that it will not have much choice on the conditions for its exit."Rules of divorce have to be set by the European Council," French president Francois Hollande summarised on Wednesday.At the same time, Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon was meeting the leaders of the European Parliament and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker.She was in Brussels to demonstrate "the determination to ensure all options are considered to enable Scotland to remain in the EU", she said in a statement.That includes a break up from the rest of the UK.One source suggests that the plan in EU circles could be to avoid Brexit entirely by showing "Brexiteers" the full consequences of their vote."From what I see and hear, I think the plan is to wait for the notification of Article 50," a source from a member state told EUobserver.“The plan is to help the pro-EU in the next [British] government so they don't take that step.”The EU could also wait and hope for a snap election in the autumn where a leader would get a mandate not to implement the referendum outcome - because the vote is not legally binding - or even to organise a second referendum.-'You see what Europe takes out'-Some statements from EU capitals seem to support this analysis."You don't always see what Europe brings when you're in, but you see what Europe takes out when you're not in any more," Hollande said.He said "those who love Europe the most are those who are not in”, and suggested this would be the fate of the UK.US secretary of state John Kerry added fuel to the theory.One day after coming back from a visit to Brussels and London to assess the situation, he said at the Aspen Ideas Festival, in Colorado, that Brexit was "a very complicated divorce" and that there were "a number of ways" to avoid it.But for others, the idea that EU leaders would be tough on the UK in order to keep the country in the bloc is far-fetched.."I didn't hear anything like that. If there is a plan to give a chance to the UK it is well protected," an EU official said.He added that what the UK could expect is "a couple of years of pain" before maybe asking to come back in the EU.."The case would be made. You need to experiment for real to see what it is like," he said.For many member states, showing the consequences of an EU exit is an important way of countering calls for referendums by eurosceptic parties in other countries.-'Politically difficult'-It would also discourage demands for exemptions or privileges from other member states.In the UK, it would be "extremely difficult politically to backtrack on the referendum result", said Agata Gostynska-Jakubowska, a research fellow at the London-based Center for European Reform.The only possibility would be an early election, she told EUobserver, adding that such a scenario was “politically difficult to imagine”.Boris Johnson, who led the Leave campaign, has hinted he would not call an election, as a signal to MPs who would fear losing their seats.If there is an election, pro-EU parties may have to promise a new referendum, or simply pledge to ignore the previous one."It is difficult to win an election with that," Gostynska-Jakubowska noted. "People are still not sympathetic to the EU."In addition, she said, a two-thirds majority in the House of Commons is needed to call an election, so "it would not only be the Conservative Party's call".-Message in two directions-The Labour party, which is increasingly divided on Europe and over its leadership, would probably not vote for an early election.Faced with political uncertainty, EU leaders sent the message that the next British government will have to decide quickly.They did not understand why Cameron did not trigger Article 50 immediately and they must now wait to know who will be prime minister and what his or her position will be.That is why their message "can be read in two directions", another source from a member state told this website."It's up to the UK to decide. It can decide that staying in is better in the end. But if it decides to leave, it knows what the conditions will be."

EU must change 'ideological' policy on Russia, says Slovak FM By Eric Maurice-EUOBSERVER

Bratislava, 30. Jun, 15:46-The EU needs to redefine its relations with Russia and evaluate economic sanctions, Slovakia's foreign minister has said."We need to redefine relationships and put it on realistic ground," Miroslav Lajcak told journalists in Bratislava on Thursday (30 June) a day before Slovakia takes the six-month presidency of the EU Council.He said the EU had been "too ideological", with western members states being "hypocritical" and eastern members "unrealistic".He said the EU needed "a new kind of partnership" with Russia."I propose we treat Russia like a strategic reality, whenever we can, on issues we can,” he said, adding that "without Russia we are unable to solve a number of local problems"."Russia is a fact, it is a global player," he said.EU leaders are set to discuss their Russia policy in October but an informal meeting of foreign ministers in September will be "a good platform" to start, the Slovak minister said.EU countries this week are expected to extend economic sanctions against Russia until December.Before the next decision, EU states should evaluate if sanctions bring them closer to their goals, Lajcak said.“It's not credible to extend sanctions every six months without discussion,” he said. “No-one should be afraid of discussion.”He noted that sanctions were effective in a way "because they hurt the Russian economy".But he also noted that EU's goal was to change Russia's political position on Ukraine, but that had not happened."Are we going to stick to sanctions or are we going to adapt them," he asked. "It should depend on the situation in the ground."At the end of the year, the 2014 Minsk agreement for a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine will be assessed, and some countries like Italy and Hungary have asked for a general discussion on sanctions and Russia relations.That is why the government wants to push for a discussion ahead of the October summit, said a Slovak source, who dismissed views that Slovakia was against the sanctions.Earlier this year, Slovak prime minister Robert Fico said "the sooner [sanctions] are removed, the better".The source said Slovakia would just organise the discussion at ministerial level and that an eventual proposal for a decision by EU leaders would be tabled by European Council president Donald Tusk.

Quartet: Israel must urgently halt settlement expansion-Middle East diplomacy group’s new report says Palestinian incitement also ‘severely undermines hopes for peace’-By AFP and Times of Israel staff June 30, 2016, 7:56 pm

A much-awaited report by the diplomatic Quartet supporting the Middle East process demands that Israel take urgent steps to halt the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, the UN envoy said Thursday.Nickolay Mladenov told the Security Council that ongoing Israeli construction in the West Bank was one of three “negative trends” that must be quickly reversed to keep the hope of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal alive.Palestinian incitement to violence and the Palestinian Authority’s lack of control over the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip also “severely undermine hopes for peace,” Mladenov said.“These negative trends can and must be urgently reversed in order to advance the two-state solution on the ground,” he said.The full report prepared by the Quartet — the United States, European Union, Russia and the United Nations — is expected to be released on Friday after months of delays, mostly over of the thorny issue of settlements, diplomats said. Its findings and recommendations are intended to serve as the basis for reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which has been comatose since a US peace initiative collapsed in April 2014.Mladenov said the report outlined a “reasonable set of steps” that could set Israel and the Palestinians “firmly along a navigable course toward establishing a comprehensive peace with historic implications for the entire region.”But he warned that a final peace agreement can only be achieved through direct, bilateral negotiations.“It is time for both sides to rise to the challenge,” he said.French Ambassador Francois Delattre said the report could help advance plans for a Paris peace conference on the Middle East later this year.“The French initiative and the Quartet report mutually reinforce each other and have a common goal to put the peace process back on track,” Delattre said.The UN envoy asked the Security Council to endorse the recommendations of the report in a move that would turn the document into an internationally agreed roadmap for Israeli-Palestinian peace.As the council discussed the new peace plan, a Palestinian terrorist stabbed and killed a 13-year-old Israeli girl, Hallel Yaffa Ariel, in her home in a West Bank settlement.Since October, a spate of Palestinian knife, gun and car-ramming attacks have killed 33 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese.At the same time, over 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli police, soldiers or civilians, some two-thirds of them while carrying out attacks against Israelis and the remainder during clashes and demonstrations, according to Israel.

Egypt to Palestinians: We’ll work in UN against settlements-In first West Bank trip, Cairo’s foreign minister says Arab Peace Initiaitve must stand without alterations, undercuts Hamas-By Dov Lieber June 30, 2016, 7:56 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told the Palestinians in a televised speech Wednesday night that his country opposes any changes to the Arab Peace Initiative, and would use its power in the United Nations Security Council to force Israel to halt settlement building.Earlier in June, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would be interested in an altered draft of the initiative, a 2002 proposal that would see all Arab and Muslim states establish normal diplomatic relations with Israel after the successful conclusion of the peace process with the Palestinians.Netanyahu rejected the clauses in the Saudi-drafted initiative that require a full Israeli withdrawal from all territories captured in the 1967 Six Day War and that set out terms for a resolution of the issue of Palestinian refugees in return for normalized ties with the Arab world.Shoukry, in his first visit to the Palestinian territories, said that Egypt would not accept any changes to the plan.“The Arab initiative is stable and supported by the international community through multiple frameworks at the United Nations and other international organizations and it is referred to on a regular basis in documents and events related to the peace process,” he said.Shoukry pointed out that the initiative had been repeatedly reaffirmed by the Arab League as well.He attributed the initiative’s sound backing to its handling of all the elements needed for a solution to the conflict that “is consistent with international vision and thought.”Regarding plans to end Israeli settlement activity through the UN, Shoukry said that Egypt, “as a current member of the United Nations Security Council, is in constant discussion with the PA on what would be a good time and proper framework for moving through the UNSC” in order to compel Israel to cease settlement building.“Ideas are currently being fleshed out,” he said.The Egyptian foreign minister was in Ramallah to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and deliver a message from Egyptian leader Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.The message, according to a report by the official PA news agency Wafa, said that Sissi sent full “support to the president and the Palestinian people, and that Egypt will stand alongside their brothers the Palestinian people in order to achieve their legitimate rights and establish a state with East Jerusalem as its capital.”Shoukry stressed that all Egyptians sympathize “with their Palestinian brothers… sensing their destiny is united.”He also reiterated Egypt’s support for the French peace initiative — a new regional approach for a peace plan — and said his country is currently helping France prepare for a special conference on the Palestinian issue.Not content with relying on the French initiative, Shoukry said his country has been in constant consultation with the US and that he was in talks with Secretary of State John Kerry to search for other ways to advance the peace process.-Egypt snubs Hamas with unity bid-In what could be seen as a swipe at Hamas’s authority in the Gaza Strip, Shoukry said a national government must be formed in order to lift the blockade on the enclave and began rebuilding it. The national government, Shoukry added, would be a “legitimate authority” to provide services to citizens in both Gaza and the West Bank.The minister stressed that a unity government would be taken more seriously in negotiations by the international community as well as Israel.Israel often argues it cannot make peace with the Palestinians while Gaza and the West Bank are separated politically. However, Jerusalem also opposes reconciliation between Hamas, deemed a terror group, and the internationally backed Fatah.

India successfully tests missile defense system developed with Israel-New Delhi defense officials confirm test-firing of Barak 8 ‘met all the targets’ and dub it ‘a grand success’-By Times of Israel staff June 30, 2016, 8:45 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Indian military on Thursday successfully test fired the Barak 8, a surface-to-air missile defense system it developed jointly with Israel, reports in Indian media said.The system, made up of a radar array and missile launcher, successfully detected and downed an unmanned aerial vehicle, an official from India’s Defense Research and Development Organization said.“The test launch was a grand success and it met all the targets,” he told the local NDTV News.Developed jointly by the DRDL and Israel Aerospace Industries, the Barak 8 system can identify and destroy airborne threats like UAVs, jets, missiles and rockets, including projectiles launched simultaneously.Unlike other defense systems, Barak 8 can be installed on naval ships as well as on the ground, giving it a mobility advantage.Israel in November also carried out its first successful launch of the new maritime missile defense system, and has already been installed on one of its Sa’ar 5-class warships.Though senior Israeli officials have not revealed the maximum range of the Barak 8 system, an executive vice president of IAI revealed to Jane’s Defense News last year that some of its missiles could shoot down targets at a range of 150 kilometers (93 miles).The radar acquiring targets for the Barak 8 system is code-named Adir (Hebrew for “Tremendous”), or MF-STAR (Multi-Function Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar).This newest iteration (“8”) is intended to defend against advanced weaponry believed to be in the hands of Hezbollah, including the Russian-made Yakhont P-800 anti-ship missile.

Two Israelis wounded in Netanya stabbing attack-Police say terrorist, a Palestinian man from Tulkarem, shot dead at the scene by an armed civilian-By Tamar Pileggi June 30, 2016, 8:36 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Two people were stabbed and wounded on Thursday evening in what police said was a terror attack outside a market in the coastal city of Netanya.The Magen David Adom emergency response service said a man described as being around 40 years old sustained serious injures from multiple stab wounds to the upper body. The other victim, a 62-year-old woman, was lightly injured in the attack.Both were taken to the city’s Laniado Hospital for treatment.The assailant, identified by Israel Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld as a Palestinian man from the West Bank city of Tulkarem, was shot dead at the scene by an armed civilian.Reports named the stabber as 40-year-old Wael Abu Saleh.אברך חרדי נדקר בפיגוע בנתניה ליד השוק #פיגוע #טרור #נתניה pic.twitter.com/RHbjwmSmpg-— דסק חדשות און ליין (@yosefbadichi) June 30, 2016-Security forces were scouring the area for a possible accomplice after eyewitnesses told police the assailant was dropped off at the market moments before he began stabbing passersby, Channel 2 reported.Store owner Michael Tobiana told Ynet that a young boy who witnessed the stabbings began to shout “terrorist,” alerting the attention of a security guard at a nearby supermarket.Abu Saleh was shot by the guard as he began to flee the scene.“It’s a good thing we were able to stop him, because otherwise he would have gone in to where the stalls are, where lots of people were shopping.”Earlier in the day, a 13-year-old Israeli girl, Hallel Yaffa Ariel, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian teenager in her home in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba.

Netanyahu vows to fight inciters and sponsors of terrorism-At US Independence Day event, PM, president hail ties with Washington, call for speedy conclusion of military aid deal-By Raphael Ahren July 1, 2016, 1:51 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Thursday to fight not only terrorists, but those who support them and incite to violence against Israelis.“We will always fight the terrorists. We will fight their dispatchers; we will fight the inciters; we will fight the sponsors. You do battle with terrorism by fighting the terrorists and those who back them,” he said at a Fourth of July event at the residence of US Ambassador Daniel Shapiro.Netanyahu’s speech came hours after two bloody terror attacks, including one in Netanya in which two Israelis were wounded by a knife-wielding Palestinian and an earlier attack in Kiryat Arba in which 13-year-old Hallel Yaffe Ariel was brutally stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist while in her bed.“This night of celebrations comes after a day of tragedy,” Netanyahu said. “What makes someone slit the throat of a child? It’s not the quest for peace. It’s the mind flooded with hate and incitement, an ideology that says this child is not a human being.”Addressing hundreds of guests gathered at Shapiro’s Herzliya residence, the prime minister thanks US President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry for the administration’s support for Israel.“We have an increasing number of friends around the world. We do, and it’s heartening,” Netanyahu said. “But we never forget that the one true partnership is between the State of Israel and the United States.”The US-Israel alliance has “weathered every storm and every difficulty and will continue to do so” because Americans and Israelis are so close to each other, the prime minister continued. The two nations’ “foundational ethos” is “nearly identical,” he said.“I think Washington and Herzl would get along quite well; Ben Gurion and Jefferson would have a lot to talk about; unquestionably so would Madison and Begin, for sure.”Since Americans and Israelis share the same values, they also have the same enemies, the prime minister went on. “The values we hold most dear are anathema to terrorist groups like ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, and regimes like Iran. The last thing they want is our pluralism, our diversity, our belief in choice. They cannot stand the sight of men and women mingling together, of minorities enjoying full rights, of gays and lesbians marching proudly, of free people electing their leaders.”Netanyahu said he was grateful for the political and military support Washington has given Jerusalem over the years. “I hope that we’ll conclude a new memorandum of understanding for the invaluable American support for Israel’s defenses for the next decade.”President Reuven Rivlin also spoke at the event, expressing hope for a quick end to the negotiations over the military aid agreement.“I want to thank the American people — on both sides of the aisle — for years of financial, diplomatic, and military support, and for helping us carry the burden of defense,” he said. “Looking to the future, I hope that an agreement on this important issue will be reached as soon as possible.”The US-Israel relationship will remain strong regardless of who wins the upcoming US presidential elections, the president said. “From time to time, the obvious should be said, and even written: Israel has no greater friend than the United States of America. The United States is Israel’s most important and strongest ally… We in Israel are very committed and we will stay committed to this special relationship.”

Netanyahu: ‘You don’t murder a sleeping child for peace’-Full text: In video message after terrorist kills Hallel Ariel, 13, PM slams brainwashing by ‘warped ideology,’ vows not to let ‘barbarism defeat humanity’-July 1, 2016, 12:27 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Full text of a video message by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the wake of the killing of Hallel Yaffa Ariel, 13, by a Palestinian terrorist on June 30, 2016:-“This morning a terrorist sneaked into the bedroom of a 13-year-old girl, Hallel-Yaffa Ariel. He murdered young Hallel in cold blood. A picture of her blood stained room is almost too hard to see. There’s a teddy bear still on her bed, a red beanbag chair, some pictures on the wall, shoes tightly packed in a bin next to her bunk bed.“Why would any person do this?-“You don’t murder a sleeping child for peace. You don’t slit a little girl’s throat to protest a policy you don’t like.“You do this because you’ve been brainwashed. You’ve been brainwashed by a warped ideology that teaches you that this child isn’t human.“We will not let barbarism defeat humanity.“There’s no middle ground between beautiful Hallel and her unspeakably evil murderer.“Today, each of us is going to fight back.“I ask you to walk into your child’s bedroom before they go to sleep. I ask you to hug them. I ask you to kiss them.“Teach them that the values that Hallel’s murderer most detested – freedom, diversity, pluralism – will never die; we’ll always hold them dear. Tell them that we will never let fear, evil and terror triumph; that we will always stand for justice. And this is how we will fight back.“We fight back first by fighting back, fighting the terrorists, fighting their backers, fighting those who incite for such murder, whether in Hebron or in Orlando, or in Berlin, or in Ankara, or in Belgium, anywhere.“We fight back by making sure that our collective moral compass doesn’t waver even a millimeter.“Today we will cherish Hallel’s memory. We will defend and honor her dignity by redoubling our efforts around the world to defeat the scourge of radical Islamist terror.“May Hallel’s memory forever be a blessing.”

Hezbollah scraps ‘Al-Quds Day’ event amid security fears-Lebanon on high alert since nine bombs exploded Monday in eastern border village of Qaa, killing five-By AP July 1, 2016, 12:33 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

BEIRUT — The Lebanese Hezbollah group cancelled an annual event on Thursday in Beirut’s southern suburbs amid security concerns gripping the country in the wake of deadly suicide bombings earlier this week in a Christian village along the Syrian border.In a statement, the Iran-backed Shiite group said it was scrapping the commemorations of Al-Quds Day, citing the prevailing “security situation.”It was the first time the group, which also participates as a political party in Lebanon’s government, cancelled the annual commemoration established by Iran’s late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Al-Quds is Arabic for Jerusalem. Al-Quds Day falls on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and is meant to be a day of solidarity with the Palestinians.The Lebanese army, meanwhile, announced it had foiled two terror plots by the Islamic State group targeting residential and tourist sites in the country. The army said it had arrested five suspects linked to the plots, among them the alleged mastermind. It did not say where or when the suspects were arrested.Lebanon has been on high alert since nine bombs exploded in the eastern border village of Qaa on Monday, killing five residents. Eight were detonated by suicide bombers. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks.Violence from neighboring Syria’s devastating civil war has on occasion spilled into Lebanon’s border regions. The Islamic State and al-Qaeda militants briefly seized the Lebanese border town of Arsal in 2014, before security forces pushed them back across the frontier.

Paris (AFP) - After nearly two years apart, Europe's Rosetta spacecraft will join stranded robot probe Philae on September 30 on the icy surface of a comet hurtling through space, their eternal resting place, mission control said Thursday.In orbit around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which is speeding further and further away from the Sun and its battery-charging rays, the trailblazing space laboratory is starting to run low on energy."Rosetta is reaching the end of its natural life," said the European Space Agency (ESA), announcing the swansong on a captivating 12-year quest."The time has come for the orbiter to join its companion Philae on Churyumov-Gerasimenko," added France's CNES space agency.After its crashlanding, communications with Rosetta will be severed once and for all, closing the historic mission to unravel the secrets of comets -- believed to be time capsules from the birth of the Solar System."This announcement may at first sight appear a little sad, given how people all over the world identified with this remarkable mission," said CNES president Jean-Yves Le Gall."But for Rosetta and Philae it will be a fitting end and the chance to obtain new measurements and close-up pictures of the comet that will yield new data for the world's scientific community."The data obtained from Rosetta and Philae will continue to be analysed for months and years to come, with many more discoveries thought possible.The 1.3-billion-euro ($1.4-billion) mission, approved in 1993, saw Rosetta launched into space in March 2004, with a comet lander dubbed Philae riding piggyback.- Space age triumph -The pair travelled some 6.5 billion kilometres (four billion miles) -- aided by gravity boosts from Earth and Mars -- before entering the comet's orbit in August 2014.Three months later, Rosetta sent the 100-kilogramme (220-pound) Philae probe down to the comet surface, starting a deep-space saga closely watched around the world via cartoon recreations of the pioneering pair.Philae's nail-biting exploits earned it a loyal Twitter following.The washing machine-sized robot, with 10 instruments for sniffing and prodding, bounced several times after its harpoons failed to fire into the comet surface.It ended up in a ditch shadowed from the Sun's battery-replenishing rays, but still managed to run about 60 hours of experiments and send home reams of valuable data before entering standby mode.As 67P neared the Sun on its elongated orbit, Philae emerged from hibernation in June 2015 and sent a two-minute message via Rosetta, eliciting great excitement on Earth.But after eight intermittent communications, the lander went permanently silent on July 2015.Rosetta has continued to probe the comet from a distance, without catching sight of its long-lost charge.But now, as 67P heads towards the orbit of Jupiter in the outer reaches of our Solar System, the craft has "significantly reduced" solar power for operating its instruments, and reduced bandwidth for sending science data back to Earth.Ground controllers will start changing Rosetta's orbit in August, bringing it progressively nearer the surface."The last six weeks will be particularly challenging as we fly eccentric orbits around the comet -- in many ways this will be even riskier than the final descent itself," said ESA spacecraft operations manager Sylvain Lodiot.Rosetta had been in hibernation for 31 months of its decade-long journey towards 67P.But this time, the craft will reach a point so far from the Sun at 850 million km that it would likely not survive another 6.5-year comet orbit for a battery recharge later.It was thus decided to land the craft, allowing closer-than-ever science observations on its final approach."And what better way for Rosetta to bow out than with a final, parting kiss!" said Le Gall.Rosetta had taken unprecedented images of the comet surface, analysed gases coming off its surface and scanned its insides.From the mission we have learnt that comets contain organic molecules, the building blocks of life.

Hubble captures aurora bigger than Earth swirling at Jupiter's north pole-Michael Franco June 30, 2016-GIZMAG

Last year might have belonged to Pluto, but by all accounts this is going to be the year of Jupiter. That's because the Juno spacecraft is completing its nearly five-year journey to reach the giant planet on July 4, where it will enter orbit to study the Jovian atmosphere. In preparation, astronomers have been training their telescopes on Jupiter to assist Juno in its mission – and the Hubble just caught a beautiful light show at the planet's north pole.Using the Hubble Space Telescope's ultraviolet sensing equipment, researchers were able to capture a Jovian aurora bigger than the size of the Earth. The image, seen here, was released by the European Space Agency (ESA) today and is actually a composite of two shots. The first is an optical shot taken by Hubble in spring 2014 and the second comes from its ultraviolet sensors and was taken this year."These auroras are very dramatic and among the most active I have ever seen", says Jonathan Nichols from the University of Leicester. "It almost seems as if Jupiter is throwing a firework party for the imminent arrival of Juno." Nichols is the principal investigator on a study to use Hubble to map Jupiter in advance of Juno's arrival.The timing of the aurora observations is perfectly synced with Juno's position at the moment. The spacecraft is currently flying through and observing the solar wind that helps create the dramatic light show, just as it does here on Earth. The solar wind consists of a stream of charged particles flowing from the sun throughout the solar system. When those particles interact with a planet's atmosphere and magnetic field, a shifting glow — the aurora — is created as gas molecules release photons of light."While Hubble is observing and measuring the auroras on Jupiter, Juno is measuring the properties of the solar wind itself; a perfect collaboration between a telescope and a space probe," says the ESA.In addition to the influence of the solar wind, Jupiter's aurorae are also aided by particles shed by neighboring moon Io. This makes the aurorae not only bigger than those on Earth, but also "hundreds of times more energetic," according to the ESA.This isn't the first time Hubble has turned its attention to Jupiter's aurorae while space probes approached the planet. It worked in conjunction with the Cassini spacecraft in 2000 to do the same and with New Horizon's flyby in 2007. Still, if you're a space fan, getting to gaze upon these spectacular light shows never gets old -- as you can do now, thanks to this NASA video.

OZONE DEPLETION JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH DUE TO SIN

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED) there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID HITS EARTH HERE)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Bright spot: Antarctica's ozone hole is starting to heal-[The Canadian Press]-Seth Borenstein, The Associated Press-JUNE 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON - Antarctica's ozone hole finally is starting to heal, a new study finds.In a triumph of international co-operation over a man-made environmental problem, research from the United States and the United Kingdom shows that the September-October ozone hole is getting smaller and forming later in the year. And the study in Thursday's journal Science also shows other indications that the ozone layer is improving after it was being eaten away by chemicals in aerosols and refrigerants. Ozone is a combination of three oxygen atoms; high in the atmosphere, it shields Earth from ultraviolet rays.The hole has shrunk by about 1.7 million square miles (4.5 million square kilometres) in the key month of September since the year 2000 — a decline of about one-fifth, the study found. That difference is more than six times larger than the state of Texas. It also is taking about 10 days longer to reach its largest size, according to the study.The hole won't be completely closed until mid-century, but the healing is appearing earlier than scientists expected, said study lead author Susan Solomon of MIT."It isn't just that the patient is in remission," Solomon said. "He's actually starting to get better. The patient got very sick in the '80s when we were pumping all that chlorine" into the atmosphere."I think it's a tremendous cause for hope" for fixing other environment problems, such as man-made climate change, said Solomon, who led two U.S. Antarctic expeditions to measure the ozone layer in the 1980s and has also been a leader in studying global warming.In the 1970s, scientists suggested that Earth's ozone layer — about 6 to 30 miles high (10 to 50 kilometres) in the stratosphere — was thinning because of chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons from aerosols and refrigerants.Those chemicals would break down into chlorine that attacked ozone, which at that level protects people from ultraviolet rays linked to skin cancer. Then in early 1980s, a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica started appearing in October — and then, September and October — making the problem more urgent. Ozone thinned elsewhere on Earth and already has begun healing in the middle section of the planet, but the Antarctic ozone hole was the gaping wound that grabbed the world's attention.The Montreal Protocol , a 1987 global treaty to phase out many of the ozone-depleting chemicals, led companies to develop new products that didn't eat away at the ozone layer. Still, scientists said it would take time before the problem would heal. Now it is actually getting better, not just stabilizing, based on new observations using different methods to measure the ozone layer, Solomon said."There is a sense of 'mission accomplished,'" emailed University of California San Diego's Mario Molina, who shared the 1995 Nobel Prize for chemistry for his characterization of the ozone problem. He praised the study, in which he played no part.Last October threw a big scare into scientists who had been tracking the Antarctic. After years of slow decline, the ozone hole blew up to its biggest size ever."It was 'Oh my God, how could there be this record large ozone hole'?' Solomon said. "It was a huge setback."But the increase was sudden, which told Solomon something else was happening. She determined that small particles in the air from the Calbuco volcano eruption were mostly at fault."The paper is quite convincing. To me at least it resolves the mystery of the 2015 Antarctic ozone hole," University of Maryland atmospheric scientist Ross Salawitch, who wasn't part of the research, wrote in an email. "So, 28 years after the Montreal Protocol was agreed upon, we have strong evidence that the ozone hole is getting smaller. I'd say this is a remarkable achievement, particularly in the instant gratification world in which we live."___Follow Seth Borenstein at http://twitter.com/borenbears and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/seth-borenstein

SitRep: Istanbul Attackers Named as Russian, Uzbek; U.S. Navy Releases Iran Report-[Foreign Policy Magazine]-Paul McLeary and Adam Rawnsley-June 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Attackers named. Turkish authorities announced Thursday they had arrested 22 people in connection with the bloody attack on the Istanbul airport earlier this week. A government official told CNN that “the attackers who carried out Tuesday’s shootings and suicide bombings were from Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.”Guesswork. The Islamic State has previously jumped in to claim responsibility for slaughters like the killing of 49 people at a nightclub in Orlando, so why has the group stayed silent on the murder of 41 people in Istanbul? By avoiding any claim of responsibility, FP’s Elias Groll and Dan De Luce write in a smart new piece, ISIS forces Ankara to consider the possibility that its longtime Kurdish adversaries are responsible.“That could lead to Turkey’s ramping up its military campaign against the Kurds who are fighting — and making gains against — the Islamic State in northern Syria. The Islamic State seeks to exploit this fissure between Kurds and Turks to advance its agenda, said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.”Not guessing. CIA Director John Brennan says the attack in Istanbul “certainly bears the hallmarks of ISIL’s depravity,” however, and he would “be surprised if Daesh is not trying to carry out that kind of attack in the United States,” using an alternate name for the Islamic State.Punishment due. Adm. John Richardson, chief of naval operations will take the podium at the Pentagon Thursday at 9:45 a.m. to announce the findings of an investigation into how two U.S. Navy riverine craft drifted into Iranian territorial waters, only to have their crews detained by Iranian forces.  A redacted version of the investigation will also be released Thursday morning, and its findings confirm many details reported by FP’s Dan De Luce last month, according to U.S. officials. A Navy official confirms to De Luce that nine personnel will be disciplined for the screw-up, which includes the three boat crew members FP reported previously.A win for ISIS. The Islamic State just got its hands on more U.S. weapons. On Tuesday, fighters from the U.S.-backed New Syrian Army launched an assault on the Syrian town of al-Bukamal, near a critical border crossing with Iraq. By Wednesday, the U.S. allies had been beaten back, FP’s Henry Johnson and Paul McLeary report, and left behind some gear, including crates of American ammunition, M-16s, U.S. mortars, a Toyota Hilux pickup adapted to carry a heavy machine gun, and piles of new body armor.ISIS losing ground elsewhere. Spokesman for the U.S.-led anti-ISIS campaign, Col. Chris Garver, told reporters at the Pentagon Wednesday that Syrian Arab fighters are establishing “footholds” around the northern Syrian city of Manbij, and have “seized more than 10,000 documents,” along with “cellphones, laptops, maps and digital storage devices.”He also said that at least 1,000 ISIS fighters had been killed in fighting with Iraqi government forces in Fallujah in recent weeks, and 1,000 others captured. Numbers are difficult to confirm, as some Shiite militias fighting alongside Iraqi government forces have been rounding up any military-age Sunni males they find fleeing the city, leading to claims of torture and murder. Other U.S. military officials are estimating that as many as 250 ISIS fighters were killed in American airstrikes near Fallujah on Wednesday. Those numbers, if true, would represent a huge blow for the terrorist group, since the U.S. intel community estimates the number of ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria to be between 19,000 and 25,000.Policy hold. The Pentagon was all set to unveil a new policy to allow transgender individuals to serve openly in the U.S. military, but concerns aired to Defense Secretary Ash Carter by senior military leaders may push the announcement back a bit. The military brass is concerned that the Pentagon is moving too fast to implement the huge changes to personnel policy, and have asked for more time to work through the issues.Good morning again from the Sitrep crew, thanks for clicking on through for the summer 2016 edition of SitRep.

Obama administration calls on private sector to assist refugees-[Reuters]-June 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

(Reuters) - The Obama administration on Thursday called on U.S. companies to assist refugees caught in a global refugee crisis in which 65 million people have been displaced, many of them by violent conflicts.The administration is seeking help from the private sector with education, employment and the enablement of refugees to be independent, the White House said in a statement.Fifteen founding companies have been recognised by the administration for taking on significant commitments to help refugees.They include Accenture, Airbnb, Chobani, Coursera, Goldman Sachs, Google, HP, IBM, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and LinkedIn.The others are Microsoft, MasterCard, UPS, TripAdvisor, and Western Union.The United Nations Refugee Agency said that of the total number of displaced persons, 21 million have crossed international borders and have registered as refugees. The United States government plans to accept 85,000 this year, according to a White House fact sheet.Some prominent Republicans, including presidential candidate Donald Trump have criticized President Barack Obama's steps to bring refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan into the United States, citing security concerns.On Sept. 20, Obama is scheduled to host the Leader's Summit on Refugees at the UN for countries committed to making significant commitments to the UN's calls for humanitarian assistance.Examples of U.S. companies helping refugees include Airbnb partnering with aid organizations to provide their workers with travel credits to book accommodation as they respond to humanitarian crises.Social networking service LinkedIn launched an initiative in Sweden to help match employers with refugees seeking work in the country.And yogurt maker Chobani has been working with refugee centers in New York state to hire local refugees. Nearly 30 percent of the company's manufacturing workforce consists of resettled refugees, according to the firm.(Reporting by Kouichi Shirayanagi; Editing by Andrew Hay)

Iraq airstrikes kill scores of IS fighters fleeing Fallujah-[The Canadian Press]-Sinan Salaheddin, The Associated Press-June 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BAGHDAD - Iraq's Defence Ministry has released footage showing airstrikes on dozens of vehicles described as a convoy of Islamic State fighters fleeing the western city of Fallujah following its recapture by the Iraqi military.Scores of militants are thought to have been killed in the airstrikes, which authorities lauded as an operation carried out exclusively by the Iraqi military."More than 20 helicopters took part in the mission and were able to destroy more than 138 vehicles," Iraqi army commander Lt. Gen. Hamid al-Maliki said.Al-Maliki, who is speaking in the footage released by the Defence Ministry late Wednesday night, said Iraqi helicopters carried out all of the strikes. "No other force took part in the operation," he said.The U.S.-led coalition said Thursday that they also conducted airstrikes on "two large concentrations of Daesh vehicles and fighters," according to spokesman Col. Christopher Garver. Daesh is an Arabic name for the Islamic State group.The strikes came in waves.Iraqi air force and coalition planes began attacking one convoy late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning and a second group of IS vehicles on Wednesday. Over the course of the two days, the coalition strikes were estimated to have destroyed 175 suspected IS vehicles, according to a statement from Garver. He said "we know the Iraqi security forces destroyed more" vehicles.Iraqi forces declared the city of Fallujah fully liberated on Sunday, after government troops pushed the remaining IS fighters out of the city's north and west under close cover of U.S.-led coalition airstrikes.Hundreds of IS fighters were suspected to have escaped the city during the month-long operation, according to Iraqi commanders on the ground.IS has suffered a string of military defeats in Iraq over the past year. At the height of the group's power, in 2014, IS controlled nearly a third of Iraq, having blitzed across large swaths of the country's north and west and captured Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul. Now the group is estimated to control 14 per cent of Iraqi territory, according to the office of Iraq's prime minister.Following territorial losses, the Islamic State group often turns to increased militant attacks in and around Baghdad.On Thursday, police said separate attacks targeting commercial areas in the Iraqi capital killed at least 12 civilians. The deadliest was in the southwestern neighbourhood of Shurta al-Rabia where a suicide bomber blew himself up in an outdoor market, killing seven people and wounding at least 15.In Baghdad's western Ghazaliya neighbourhood, an explosion killed three civilians and wounded 11 in a commercial area. In a bombing in a commercial area in southeastern district of Zafaraniya, two civilians were killed and eight were wounded, police added.Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it bore the hallmarks of the IS group.Also Thursday the U.N. children's fund warned that the IS surge in Iraq and the military operation to route the extremist group from captured territory have had a "catastrophic impact," with some 4.7 million Iraqi children in need of humanitarian assistance.UNICEF warned that 3.6 million Iraqi children are at "serious risk" of death, injury, sexual violence, abduction and recruitment into armed groups, and called on warring parties in Iraq to protect their rights. It said that the number of children in Iraq at serious risk of death or wartime exploitation had increased by 1.3 million in the past 18 months."Children in Iraq are in the firing line and are being repeatedly and relentlessly targeted," said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF's Iraq representative. "We appeal to all parties for restraint and to respect and protect children. We must help give children the support they need to recover from the horrors of war and contribute to a more peaceful and prosperous Iraq."___Associated Press writers Murtada Faraj and Ahmed Sami contributed to this report.

Canada Day traditions a mystery for some Syrian refugees-[The Canadian Press]-Paola Loriggio, The Canadian Press-June 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

TORONTO - Since arriving in Canada seven months ago, Abeer Al Hajj has learned a lot about her new country and how it differs from her native Syria.Abeer, who turned nine last week, came to Toronto with her parents and two brothers in November as privately sponsored refugees and was almost immediately enrolled in school as well as language classes to bolster her fledgling English.In many ways, the transition has been seamless — she has friends, throws herself into her school work and speaks English easily and enthusiastically.But some aspects of Canadian culture remain puzzling, the girl said on a recent afternoon."Here in Canada, they say too much 'thank you' — 'thank you' and 'welcome' and 'sorry' and 'excuse me,'" she said."My teacher, she gave me book to read, I gave it back and she said thank you," something that would never have happened in Syria, where teachers have a more authoritarian approach, she said.With Canada Day fast approaching, another mystery has emerged for Abeer and her family: how does their new home celebrate its national holiday? All the girl knows, she said, is that "there's no school."Celebrating their adoptive country is both a major milestone and a source of uncertainty for many Syrian newcomers, said Safwan Choudhry, spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at, an organization that has helped several families settle in."I can tell a lot of them are anxious, they want to see what do Canadians do," he said."And I understand where they're coming from because typically, every country celebrates their national day very differently," in many cases with a strong emphasis on military glory, he said."So the majority are just curious to see what's going to happen...and I got the sense that a lot of them just want to stand back and watch and soak in how we celebrate Canada Day."Many Syrian families in the Toronto area are expected to attend the annual Canada Day celebration hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at, a massive event that typically draws thousands and is set to take place outside a mosque in Vaughan after afternoon prayers.Choudhry said the Friday sermon will centre on Canada Day and loyalty to one's country.The festivities will see a group of children sing the national anthem, Abeer among them. The girl said she has been practising on top of the daily singalong at school.But a key part of the celebration — the barbecue — will be off-limits for Muslims fasting for Ramadan. The month-long ritual precludes participants from eating or drinking between sunrise and sunset and its timing is set by the lunar calendar.The last Friday of Ramadan is particularly significant and turnout is expected to be even higher than usual since most people will have the day off because of the statutory holiday, Choudhry said.Next year, Canada Day will not fall during Ramadan, he said."The timing of it and the way that it's falling together, I think there is some significance, but I think particularly for Syrian refugees, I get the sense every time I talk to them, it's very emotional for them," he said.The knowledge that they can pay tribute to their new country while also maintaining their religious practices comes as great comfort to Abeer's family, her father Muhammad Al Hajj Abdullah, 40, said.Living in Canada has also offered Abdullah, who is in a wheelchair, another type of freedom, he said.After an explosion in the Syrian town of Aleppo left him paralyzed from the waist down, the father of three found himself unable to get around easily despite having a manual wheelchair, he said."In Syria and Turkey, it's so so hard, you can't ride the bus, you can't ride the subway," he said.On his arrival here, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at gave him an electric wheelchair which, along with accessible transit, have allowed him to regain his independence, he said.On a recent weekday evening, he played ping-pong with his youngest son, five-year-old Bashir, on a coffee table in the family's living room in north Toronto, while Abeer did her homework and the oldest child, Abdul Karim, bounced a soccer ball."New community, new society, new language, new weather," Abdullah said with a laugh. "Everything has changed."

Legalize brothels, stop punishing sex workers who solicit: UK parliamentary watchdog-[Reuters]-By Umberto Bacchi-June 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Sex workers in England and Wales should not face criminal charges for soliciting and brothels should be legalized, a British parliamentary group said on Friday, calling for local prostitution laws to be overhauled.Countries have been divided over the best way to deal with prostitution with some including Canada, Sweden and Norway introducing laws to punish the client without criminalizing those who have been driven into prostitution.Others like the Netherlands, Germany and New Zealand have legalized or decriminalized prostitution."Treating soliciting as a criminal offense is having an adverse effect, and it is wrong that sex workers, who are predominantly women, should be penalized and stigmatized in this way," said the Home Affairs Select Committee chairman Keith Vaz.There are an estimated 72,800 sex workers in Britain, of which more than 40 percent operate in London, and up to 2.3 million clients, equal to 11 percent of British men aged between 16 and 74, the parliamentary committee said.It is legal to buy and sell sex in England and Wales, but related activities such as soliciting and kerb crawling whereby drivers cruise the streets for prostitutes, are illegal.Northern Ireland, which has the right to legislate separately on the matter, criminalized the purchase of sex last year in a move advocacy groups said would help stamp out sex trafficking.The Home Affairs Select Committee said it was not convinced by the effectiveness of the so-called "sex buyer law" in reducing demand and tackle crimes and exploitation associated with the sex industry - but would investigate the matter further.The committee also urged the government to legalize brothels saying sex workers would be better protected as a result of working together rather than alone.Vaz said the authorities should maintain a "zero tolerance" approach against forced prostitution and legal changes should not lessen their ability to prosecute criminal gangs involved in sexual exploitation.The report also called for previous convictions to be erased from sex workers' criminal records to improve their chances of leaving prostitution without the stigma attached to it.Pro-legalization campaigners welcomed the findings but urged further action."There should be an immediate moratorium on arrests, raids and prosecutions," said Laura Watson, a spokeswoman for the English Collective of Prostitutes.(Reporting by Umberto Bacchi @UmbertoBacchi, Editing by Katie Nguyen.; Please credit the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of Thomson Reuters, that covers humanitarian news, women's rights, trafficking, property rights and climate change.
