HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

LUKE 2:1-3
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(THE FALSE POPE WHO DEFECTED FROM THE CHRISTIAN FAITH) causeth all,(IN THE WORLD ) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(MICROCHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,(MICROCHIP IMPLANT) or the name of the beast,(WORLD DICTATORS NAME INGRAVED ON YOUR SKIN OR TATTOOED ON YOU OR IN THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT) or the number of his name.(THE NUMBERS OF HIS NAME INGRAVED IN THE MICROCHIP IMLPLANT)-(ALL THESE WILL TELL THE WORLD DICTATOR THAT YOUR WITH HIM AND AGAINST KING JESUS-GOD)
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:(WORLD LEADER) for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM (6006006)OR(60020202006)(SOME KIND OF NUMBER IMPLANTED IN THE MICROCHIP THAT TELLS THE WORLD DICTATOR AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT YOU GIVE YOUR TOTAL ALLIGIENCE TO HIM AND NOT JESUS)(ITS AN ETERNAL DECISION YOU MAKE)(YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN DESTINY)(YOU TAKE THE DICTATORS NAME OR NUMBER UNDER YOUR SKIN,YOUR DOOMED TO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND TORMENTS FOREVER,NEVER ENDING MEANT ONLY FOR SATAN AND HIS ANGELS,NOT HUMAN BEINGS).OR YOU REFUSE THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT AND GO ON THE SIDE OF KING JESUS AND RULE FOREVER WITH HIM ON EARTH.YOU CHOOSE,ITS YOUR DECISION.

1 KINGS 10:13-14
13  And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
14  Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

GENESIS 49:16-17
16  Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17  Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

REVELATION 6:5-6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.(A DAYS WAGES FOR A LOAF OF BREAD)

EZEKIEL 37:7,11-14
7  So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.(POSSIBLE QUAKE BRINGS ISRAEL BACK TO LIFE-SO NOISE AND SHAKING-QUAKES WILL ALSO DESTROY ISRAELS ENEMIES)

Police removing last protesters in Ofra settlement home demolition-Bulldozers to begin demolishing remaining eight houses as evacuation operation enters its second day-By Times of Israel staff March 1, 2017, 9:58 am

Police on Wednesday began clearing the last remaining protesters from the roof of a home slated for demolition in the West Bank settlement of Ofra, paving the way for structures to be bulldozed in accordance with a High Court of Justice order.The operation to evacuate the nine buildings — eight of them homes — built on private Palestinian land began on Tuesday, with police removing right-wing activists and youths from the houses in sometimes violent clashes throughout the day.After successfully evacuating all but one of the homes on Tuesday, police decided to wait until Wednesday morning to remove dozens of demonstrators barricaded on the second floor and roof of the last occupied house. Some 15 youths spent the night in the rain on the roof, Israel Radio reported.On Tuesday, the police began to bulldoze the buildings, razing the one uninhabited structure. The remaining eight houses are expected to be demolished on Wednesday after the final protesters holding out are removed.During the scuffles between protesters and police, at least 11 police officers suffered minor injuries as of Wednesday morning, according to Israel Radio.At least two of the injured officers reported being bitten by protesters.The Honenu legal-aid group, which provides legal defense to right-wing activists, said that at least five people were arrested, four of them for attacking police officers, including three female minors and a 30-year-old resident of Ofra.Another resident of the settlement was also arrested for trying to give food to the demonstrators barricaded on the roof using a remote-controlled drone, the group said.In a separate demonstration against the demolition of the homes, hundreds of youth protested at the Chords Bridge at the entrance to Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, blocking the road leading into the city and burning tires, Israel Radio reported.The operation to evacuate the homes came after the High Court of Justice struck down an appeal on Monday by residents of Ofra for the homes to be sealed rather than destroyed.Hundreds of mostly unarmed troops, dressed in bright blue sweaters, faced off Tuesday against the protesters, many of whom had barricaded themselves in some of the homes, climbing on roofs and calling on police to refuse orders to clear out the homes.Some of the activists were brought out on their feet, while others were carried away by police.In that fashion, “hundreds of young men and women” were removed from the area, police said.Other officers used bullhorns to tell the hundreds of protesters to refrain from violence.Due to the stiff resistance and large number of activists holed up in the final home, police used a hydraulic battering ram to force open the back door of the house. An additional 100 officers were brought in to assist with the evacuation.While many of the protesters agreed to leave peacefully, police said they sought the reinforcements after negotiations for the remaining demonstrators to leave the last house failed.Despite the calls for resistance by many protesters, the residents of the homes in question did not seek confrontation, saying in a statement earlier, “We will not use crowbars and we will not barricade ourselves” inside the homes.Eight families living in the buildings had already left by Tuesday, police said.The court issued its demolition ruling for the Ofra houses in February 2015, and, after a number of delays, set March 5 as the final deadline by which the buildings must be pulled down.The residents’ request to have the structures sealed off and not demolished would have made them eligible for being spared in accordance with legislation passed earlier this month known as the Regulation Law. The law legalizes Jewish homes constructed illegally on Palestinian land, if homeowners can prove they built their homes in good faith or received government assistance.Palestinians whose land is expropriated under the law are eligible to receive either financial compensation or alternative plots elsewhere.However, the judges ruled unanimously on Monday that the demolition of the buildings must go ahead.The original case against the nine Ofra buildings was brought before the High Court in 2008 by the left-wing Yesh Din legal aid group, which represented the Palestinian landowner.A report published in the same year by another Israeli rights group, B’Tselem, said some 60 percent of the built-up area of Ofra lies on land that is registered to Palestinians. The claims to private ownership of lands in settlements like Ofra and the Amona outpost are based on the pre-1967 Jordanian land registry, which Israel adopted after it captured the West Bank from the Jordanians that year.Judah Ari Gross, Raoul Wootliff and AFP contributed to this report.

Wiesenthal Center, US lawmaker call for federal funding of anti-Semitism monitors-Trump administration rumored to be considering dropping special envoy on anti-Semitism as part of budget cuts-By JTA March 1, 2017, 10:42 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

A senior Republican congressman and a Jewish defense group called for the funding of federal positions to monitor anti-Semitism a day after reports that the Trump administration was considering nixing the international anti-Semitism monitor role.“Ever since its creation under President George W. Bush, the Special Envoy on anti-Semitism has made clear America’s unflinching commitment to fight history’s oldest hate,” said a statement Tuesday by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. “Given the reality of the multiplicity of anti-Semitic threats, our nation’s leadership should redouble America’s commitment to combat this scourge.”The Wiesenthal Center did not mention the report in Bloomberg News on Monday that the Trump administration was considering eliminating the position as part of budget cuts.Neither did Rep. Chris Smith, a Republican of New Jersey, who authored the 2004 law creating the position. However, Smith issued a statement noting his role in establishing the international anti-Semitism monitor and saying a similar position should be created to combat domestic anti-Semitism.“It is vital that one senior law enforcement official has the mandate to lead efforts across the government to anticipate, prevent and respond to threats and attacks — especially violent ones — against the American Jewish community,” he said in a statement, noting the recent waves of bomb threats that have targeted nearly 100 Jewish community institutions, as well as massive vandalism at several Jewish graveyards.

150 children at home after Hamas-linked East Jerusalem school shut-Parents of students from Sur Baher in East Jerusalem trade blame with municipality over failure to find new schools-By Times of Israel staff March 1, 2017, 12:09 pm

Nearly a week after a school in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher said to be operated by Hamas was shut down by authorities, some 150 former students have yet to find other schools, Israel Radio reported Wednesday.Authorities said last week that the Al-Nukhaba elementary school was established by Hamas with the aim of teaching “content that undermines the sovereignty of Israel” and was therefore closed.Parents blamed the Jerusalem Municipality for the children staying home, saying that the city had not found the children alternative education facilitates.However, the municipality told Israel Radio that the parents of the students have refused to cooperate with the city in attempts find a solution,and said it was working in the meantime to ensure no damage was done to the children’s education.The municipality said the delay partly stemmed from the fact that school was a private institution, as the students now need to first be registered in the city’s educational system.It also said that the city remains prepared to enroll the children at schools elsewhere in the city, to which it will provide transportation.The order to close Al-Nukhaba followed a months-long joint probe by the Education Ministry, Jerusalem Police and the Shin Bet security service into the elementary school’s activities, according to an Education Ministry statement.Its aims were consistent with the ideology of the terror organization, which calls for the destruction of Israel, according to the Education Ministry.“Each case of incitement will be dealt with and will continue to be dealt with, with maximum severity,” Education Minister Naftali Bennett said. “Schools in East Jerusalem that elect to follow the [Israeli] curriculum get the full set of tools to succeed, while those choosing incitement will be closed.”Jews and Palestinians study in separate school systems in Jerusalem. The Palestinian schools are run by either the city council or private bodies.The Education Ministry ordered the school not to open in September and when it continued to operate, issued the closure order.The school’s administration had sued to have the decision overturned, but the case was rejected by the Jerusalem District Court and upheld by the Supreme Court, citing the school’s failure to obtain a license as one of the reasons for siding with the ministry.East Jerusalem Palestinians regularly say the city discriminates against them in disbursing funds and municipal services.According to daily newspaper Haaretz, East Jerusalem Palestinian schools received less than half the funds that the Jerusalem Municipality transferred to West Jerusalem Jewish schools in 2016.The municipality said the paper’s figures were wrong.Sue Surkes contributed to this report.

Officials: New Trump order drops Iraq from travel ban list-Document will also no longer provide exemptions for religious minorities or single out Syrian refugees-By Matthew Lee and VIVIAN SALAMA March 1, 2017, 9:22 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Donald Trump’s new immigration order will remove Iraq from the list of countries whose citizens face a temporary travel ban, US officials said Tuesday, citing the latest draft in circulation. Trump is expected to sign the executive order in the coming days.Four officials told The Associated Press that the decision followed pressure from the Pentagon and State Department, which had urged the White House to reconsider Iraq’s inclusion given its key role in fighting the Islamic State group.Citizens of six other predominantly Muslim countries — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — will remain on the travel ban list, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the order before it is signed. Those bans are effective for 90 days.The new order includes other changes as well. The officials said the 12-page document no longer singles out Syrian refugees for an indefinite ban and instead includes them as part of a general, 120-day suspension of new refugee admissions.The officials also said the order won’t include any explicit exemption for religious minorities in the countries targeted by the travel ban. Critics had accused the administration of adding such language to help Christians get into the United States while excluding Muslims.The White House did not respond to a request for comment.Trump signed his original executive order in late January. It sparked immediate confusion, panic and outrage as some travelers were detained in US airports before being sent back overseas and others were barred from boarding flights at foreign airports.The government initially blocked US green card holders before offering those legal residents special permission to come into the country. It finally decided the order didn’t apply to them.The State Department provisionally revoked roughly 60,000 valid visas in all, before a federal judge in Washington state blocked the government from carrying out the ban. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision.Under the revised order, officials said, all existing visas will be honored.In his first address to a joint session of Congress, Trump on Tuesday evening defended his effort.“We will shortly take new steps to keep our nation safe and to keep out those who would do us harm,” he said.After Trump signed the original order, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi refuted the ban and said he would consider reciprocal measures. Many Iraqi lawmakers urged the government to ban Americans from Iraq in response, despite the potential effects that might have on the anti-IS fight.Al-Abadi then met with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in Baghdad this month and underscored the US-Iraqi partnership. And Mattis walked back comments made by Trump, suggesting that Americans could get another chance to seize Iraqi oil as compensation for its military efforts there.“We’re not in Iraq to seize anybody’s oil,” Mattis told reporters on that trip. Al-Abadi also met with Vice President Pence in Munich earlier this month, where the two publicly discussed ways of strengthening cooperation.The Trump administration’s changes to the immigration order follow a report by intelligence analysts at the Homeland Security Department, which found insufficient evidence that citizens of the seven Muslim-majority countries posed a terror threat to the United States. A draft of the analysis was obtained last week by the AP.

Trump wins cautious praise after speaking out on anti-Semitism-Jewish groups call for translating Congress speech into concrete actions; some doubt his sincerity-By Times of Israel staff and JTA March 1, 2017, 9:12 am

US President Donald Trump won cautious praise from Jewish groups after his condemnation of anti-Semitism in his first speech to Congress, but it was accompanied by a clear call for translating his words into concrete action.“B’nai B’rith International welcomes President Donald J. Trump calling attention to recent anti-Semitism during his address,” the group said in a statement.“We now look forward to forceful measures taken by the administration to respond to these anti-Semitic acts. Anti-Semitism is a human rights issue, a distinct phenomenon that must be addressed as such,” B’nai B’rith said.“Thanks @POTUS for condemning #hate against Jews & immigrants,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the Anti-Defamation League CEO, said on Twitter. “Now let’s fight it. See our plan. Let’s do it together.”Thanks @POTUS for condemning #hate ag Jews & immigrants. Now let's fight it. See our plan. Let's do it together. https://t.co/4olwW2fFP5— Jonathan Greenblatt (@JGreenblattADL) March 1, 2017-Former US ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk tweeted, “Good on Trump for his clear condemnation of anti-Semitism and racism at the top of his SOTU speech.”In his long-awaited speech to both Houses of Congress on Tuesday, the president said the recurrent bomb threats to Jewish institutions and desecration of Jewish cemeteries were a reminder “of our nation’s path toward civil rights and the work that remains.”“Recent threats targeting Jewish community centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week’s shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms,” said Trump, who was noticeably more subdued and conciliatory than during his previous speeches and press conferences.Close to a hundred Jewish institutions have been targeted with bomb threats since the beginning of the year. A bar patron in Kansas ejected from the establishment last week after hurling racial epithets at two workers from India allegedly returned with a gun and killed one of the men and wounded another as well as a man who tried to stop the attacker.In just the last week, hundreds of Jewish tombstones in Pennsylvania and Missouri have been vandalized and numerous Jewish institutions have received bomb threats, including 29 on Monday alone — the fifth wave of such scares since January.In all of these cases, Trump has come under fire for delayed responses. In the case of the threats on Jewish establishments, Trump at first deflected questions – and in one instance shouted abuse at a reporter – before calling the threats “horrible” last week. The White House did not address the Kansas shooting until Tuesday, six days after the attack.His condemnation also came just hours after he reportedly said that the wave of threats against Jewish communal institutions may be a false flag.Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish and a Democrat, described a meeting of state attorney generals and Trump on Tuesday to a BuzzFeed reporter.Trump called the wave of bomb threats “reprehensible,” Shapiro said. But the US president also added: “Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people – or to make others – look bad,” according to Shapiro’s account. Shapiro said Trump said it was “the reverse” two or three times but did not clarify what he meant.However, some groups were less impressed with Trump’s change of tone, doubting his sincerity.Venting on Twitter, executive director Steven Goldstein of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect said, “After weeks of our organization’s having to plead, cajole and criticize this President to speak out against #Antisemitism, we give him credit for doing the right thing tonight ….But his suddenly dulcet tones weren’t matched by substantive kindness.“Where’s the beef, Mr President? It was as if you wrapped the poison of prejudice in the veneer of cotton candy,” Goldstein said.“The President didn’t say exactly what he would do to fight anti-Semitism – how could he have stayed so vague?”“We’ve endured weeks of anti-Semitic attacks across America and we didn’t hear a single proposal from the President tonight to stop them.”REACTION TO #TrumpAddress #JointSession from @AnneFrankCenter NO SPECIFICS ON #ANTISEMITISM; COTTON-CANDY TONE COVERING POISON OF PREJUDICE pic.twitter.com/TwLl3U4k0M— AnneFrankCenter(US) (@AnneFrankCenter) March 1, 2017-Democrats sat silently through much of Trump’s speech, which opened with his comments on anti-Semitism.They refrained from applauding and made thumbs down movements when they disagreed.All the women in the House of Representatives’ Democratic caucus wore white, an initiative of Rep.

UN rights body told to end focus on Israel as US mulls exit-[Associated Press]-FRANK JORDANS-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

BERLIN (AP) — The United States on Wednesday called on the U.N. Human Rights Council to drop its "obsession with Israel" amid reports that the Trump administration is considering quitting the body.In a speech before the Geneva-based council, U.S. envoy Erin Barclay said the United States' commitment to human rights "is stronger than ever.""Regrettably, too many of the actions of this council do not support these universal principles. Indeed, they contradict them," said Barclay, the U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs.She cited ongoing abuses in Syria and North Korea, and noted in particular the top U.N. human rights body's long-standing focus on Israel."The obsession with Israel...is the largest threat to this council's credibility," said Barclay, a career diplomat."When it comes to human rights no country should be free from scrutiny, but neither should any democratic country be regularly subjected to unfair, unbalanced and unfounded bias," she added.The council's annual rebuke of Israel has been a particular source of irritation for both Republican and Democratic U.S. administrations.The U.S. declined to seek a seat on the 47-member council when it was formed in 2006, citing skepticism about the membership of some authoritarian states. It joined the council in 2009, after Obama's election, and has played a key role rallying like-minded nations in condemning human rights abuses around the globe.Rohan said the United States is dedicated to protecting and promoting universal human rights, including freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and freedom of speech."As we consider our future engagements, my government will be considering the council's actions with an eye toward reform to more fully achieve the council's mission to protect and promote human rights," Barclay said.

130 teens rescued from flooded campsites near Eilat-Sudden downpour and hail storm causes flash floods; Eliat Airport shut, major roads closed-By Times of Israel staff March 1, 2017, 9:46 am

Police on Wednesday rescued 130 teens who were trapped at two desert campsites near the southern city of Eilat after a sudden storm cause heavy flooding in the region.Heavy rain and large hail caused flash floods that shut down the Eilat Airport, the main road leading to the Dead Sea resort town and the neighboring Egyptian town of Taba, and a nearby air force base.The teens, 12th graders from the upper Galilee, were all in good health, said Shraga Green, the head of the police rescue unit in Eilat.“When the rain started at 4:30 a.m., we went out to check on the group at the campsite,” Green told Army Radio. They had been hiking in the area and spent the night at two campsites in the Nahal Netafim canyon.The rescue team found the high school students trapped due to the heavy rains and in need of extraction.“Forecasters had talked about light rain, so we were surprised from the large hailstorm and heavy rains that caused flooding,” he said.All 130 students were rescued by volunteers of the police rescue unit who used jeeps to reach the cut off area.“They were transferred to Eilat and are now safe and sound,” the Israeli Police tweeted later.None of the children were injured from the hail, and there have been no reports of hypothermia, Green said, adding that “they enjoyed the experience more than anything else.”The storm forced Eilat Airport to temporarily shut down this morning while the runways cleared from flooding. It is expected to shortly reopen at 10:00 a.m.Several roads, including parts of Israel’s longest highway, Route 90, were also shut.Temperatures are expected to remain chilly on Thursday with rains in the country’s north and center, but storms is expected to ease by the afternoon. Forecasters predict a more mild and warm weekend ahead.

Tornadoes, storms rip through U.S. Midwest, killing at least two-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

(Reuters) - Tornadoes and storms packed with baseball-size hail raked the U.S. Midwest on Tuesday, killing at least two people, destroying homes and leaving thousands without power, the National Weather Service and media reported.A tornado struck near Ottawa, a town of about 19,000 people, 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Chicago, killing at least one person, meteorologist Amy Seeley said by telephone. She had no further details.Another person was killed near Perryville, a Missouri community of 8,000 people about 80 miles (130 km) south of St. Louis, where storms flipped over cars along an interstate and took down trees and power lines, media reported."Tough and tragic news tonight out of Perryville where there are confirmed reports of a tornado touching down," Missouri Governor Eric Greitens said in a statement on Facebook.News outlets in southern Illinois and eastern Missouri showed footage of rescue workers digging through destroyed homes and clearing debris from highways."Freaking out over tornado sirens in my basement with a 7 month old and three dogs," Kristie Foote in Jasper, Indiana, said on Twitter. "I guess we will be having a slumber party down here."More than 14,000 customers were without power in the region, according to information on electric company websites.The La Salle News Tribune reported power outages and heavy damage to a nursing home and other buildings. There were minor injuries in the nearby village of Naplate, a fire official told the newspaper.Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner activated the state's emergency operations center to assist with recovery efforts. Area emergency officials could not be reached for comment.Tornado spotters reported 23 twister sightings in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Tennessee and Indiana on Tuesday evening, the National Weather Service said.Seeley said the storm front weakened as it moved east into Indiana after pounding the Ottawa area with baseball-sized hail and high winds.The February tornado was a rarity in Illinois, she said, although several January tornadoes had struck the area in 2008."It is unusual but it has happened before," Seeley added.(Reporting by Ian Simpson in Washington, Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee; Editing by Nick Macfie)

Etna volcano erupts in fiery show of lava in eastern Sicily-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-February 28, 2017

ROME (AP) — Mount Etna has erupted in a fiery show of lava in eastern Sicily.The volcano's latest eruptions, which can last days and even weeks, began on Monday evening. The giant orange fountains of lava, spewing toward the sky, could be seen in the city of Catania and the resort town of Taormina.Although volcanic ash clouds can cause flight disruptions, the nearby Catania airport was operating normally Tuesday. Authorities reported no danger to the towns that dot the mountain's slopes.

EU bulldozes through carbon trade reforms By Aleksandra Eriksson-MAR 1,17-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:53-Environment ministers agreed on a reform of the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) on Tuesday (28 February), in a bid to bring the bloc in line with its commitments under the Paris agreement on climate change."It's a big success," said EU climate commissioner Miguel Arias Canete after the meeting. "A lot remains to be done but the spirit of Paris is with us."Only 19 of the 28 EU member states backed the ETS update despite the nice words.Bulgaria, Italy, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Hungary claimed throughout the day-long discussion that the overhaul would hurt their industries.Some kept protesting even after the Maltese presidency declared a majority behind a compromise deal, as proposed by the Czech Republic."We feel fooled," said Poland's minister of environment Jan Szyszko.ETS is the EU’s key policy for cutting emissions by at least 40 percent by 2030.The scheme involves a market-based cap and trade system forcing 11,000 power-intense companies to hand in a carbon permit for every tonne of CO2 they emit.The scheme was introduced in 2005 and initially worked well, but prices plummeted in the wake of the economic downturn, causing a glut of credits on the market.Tuesday's deal would double the number of permits stored in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR), a sort of pool for surplus credits, and automatically cancel a number of MSR permits if their total number reached a certain threshold.Such a solution was championed by France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden.However, ministers, under pressure from Germany, also said that well-performing industries could keep getting their carbon credits for free.The EU Council went further than the European Parliament, which voted its stance on ETS two weeks ago.The two institutions will now enter into negotiations, and hope to agree on a deal before the summer.NGOs said the reform was not far-reaching enough.Agnes Brandt, senior EU policy officer at Carbon Market Watch said: “Auctioning, not free handouts, is the default of a ‘polluter pays’ system. Companies have been using free pollution permits as a life support, thereby locking in emissions in Europe"."Only smart policies leading to a strong carbon price signal will push industry to innovate and modernise, and guarantee their long-term global competitiveness," she added.Brandt called on willing countries to implement complementary national measures to reduce emissions in Europe.

Bloody Islamic State video puts China in cross-hairs-Jihadi fighters from Uighur minority vow to return to country to ‘shed blood like rivers’-By Benjamin Carlson March 1, 2017, 10:47 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

BEIJING, China (AFP) — Islamic State terrorists from China’s Uighur ethnic minority have vowed to return home and “shed blood like rivers,” according to a jihadist-tracking firm, in what experts said marked the first IS threat against Chinese targets.The threat came in a half-hour video released Monday by a division of the Islamic State in western Iraq and featuring fighters from China’s Uighur ethnic group, said the US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which analysed the footage.China has for years blamed exiled Uighur “separatists” for a series of violent attacks in its western Xinjiang region — the Uighur homeland — and warned of the potential for them to link up with global jihadist groups.In the video, a Uighur fighter issued the threat against China just before executing an alleged informant.“Oh, you Chinese who do not understand what people say! We are the soldiers of the Caliphate, and we will come to you to clarify to you with the tongues of our weapons, to shed blood like rivers and avenging the oppressed,” according to SITE’s translation.A traditionally Muslim group, many Uighurs complain of cultural and religious repression and discrimination by China.It appears to be the Islamic State’s “first direct threat” against China, Dr. Michael Clarke, an expert on Xinjiang at the National Security College of Australian National University, told AFP.“It is the first time that Uighur-speaking militants have claimed allegiance to IS,” he added.The video showed China is now “very firmly a target of jihadist rhetoric,” Clarke said, marking a shift from years past when it rarely figured in statements by global jihadist groups.But Clarke said it also could indicate a possible split among Uighur fighters, as it includes a warning to those fighting with the al-Qaeda aligned Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) in Syria.-Show of force-China maintains tight security in Xinjiang but a drumbeat of deadly unrest has continued. A knife attack last month left eight dead, including three attackers, police said.The video was released the same day that China held the latest in a series of mass rallies of military police in Xinjiang meant to indicate Chinese resolve in crushing security threats.More than 10,000 officers gathered Monday in the region’s capital Urumqi — the fourth such rally this year in Xinjiang.Chinese authorities have tightened controls in the region, beefing up police checkpoints.In one violence-wracked corner of Xinjiang, authorities are offering rewards of up to 5 million yuan ($730,000) to those who expose terror plots or “struggle, kill, wound, or subdue” any attackers.The Islamic State video showed fighters, including heavily armed children, giving speeches, praying, and killing other “informants.”It also featured images of Chinese riot police guarding mosques, patrolling Uighur markets, and arresting men in what appears to be western China. The Chinese flag is pictured engulfed in flames.Clarke said the hints of a Uighur split could “intensify the threat to China” as it indicates Uighur fighters may be able to tap into the capabilities of both the Islamic State and al-Qaeda.Overseas experts have up to now expressed doubts about the strength of Uighur militants, with some saying China exaggerates the threat to justify tough security measures.A US think tank said in July that tough Chinese religious restrictions on Muslims may have driven more than 100 to join the Islamic State.Authorities have banned or strictly controlled the observance of certain Muslim practices, such as growing beards, wearing headscarves, and fasting during Ramadan, saying they were symbols of “Islamic extremism.”

Latest-generation Chinese combat drone makes maiden flight-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

BEIJING (AP) — China's latest-generation combat drone has made its maiden flight in what its developer says is a sign that the country is catching up with industry leader the United States.The Wing Loong II that flew for the first time on Monday can carry up to 480 kilograms (1,058 pounds) of bombs and missiles, tucking six under each wing, according to information viewed Wednesday on the Aviation Industry Corporation of China's microblog.The drone has a wingspan of 20.5 meters (67-feet-3 inches), can stay airborne up to 20 hours and fly at a maximum altitude of 9,000 meters (29,500 feet), according to the company known as AVIC.The drone's successful test flight "allows China to follow the U.S. in producing a new generation of integrated surveillance and combat unmanned aerial vehicles," the company said in the microblog posting.State media say the drone should become a leading export item for China following the success of the original Wing Loong that has been sold to a number of countries, including several in the Middle East. Along with inexpensive fighter jets and navy patrol boats, drones are a high-tech standout item among China's substantial exports of more workaday weaponry such as assault rifles and rocket launchers.While both the Wing Loong II's advertised payload and cruising altitude fall well short compared with the MQ-9 Reaper in service with the U.S. military, it is expected to be highly competitive on price.While AVIC didn't provide the cost of a Wing Loong II, its predecessor, with a payload of only about 100 kilograms (220 pounds), reportedly sold for about $1 million each, a fraction of the Reaper's $14.75 million price tag.

South Korea, U.S. begin large-scale annual drills amid North Korea tension-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean and U.S. troops began large-scale joint military exercise on Wednesday conducted annually to test their defense readiness against the threat from North Korea, which routinely characterizes the drills as preparation for war against it.The exercise, called Foal Eagle, comes amid heightened tension following the latest test launch of a ballistic missile by the North on Feb. 12 and in the past prompted threats by Pyongyang to launch military action in retaliation.South Korea's Defense Ministry and the U.S. military based in the South confirmed the start of the drills on Wednesday that will continue until the end of April but did not immediately provide further details.The exercise last year involved about 17,000 American troops and more than 300,000 South Koreans.U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis spoke with South Korean Defense Minister Han Min-Koo early on Wednesday by telephone and said the United States remains steadfast in its commitment to the defense of its ally.Mattis welcomed a deal signed by South Korea with the Lotte Group conglomerate this week to secure the land to station the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system in the South, the two countries said.South Korea has said it and the United States aim to make the system, which the two countries decided last year to deploy in response to the North Korean missile threat, operational by the end of the year.Han said in the phone call with Mattis that this year's joint drills will be conducted at a similar scale as last year's, which the South's Defense Ministry had called the "largest-ever" exercises by the allies.North Korea's official KCNA news agency said earlier on Wednesday its leader Kim Jong Un inspected the headquarters of a major military unit and issued guidance on increasing combat readiness.(Reporting by Jack Kim and Ju-min Park in Seoul and Phil Stewart in Washington; Editing by Michael Perry)

Pakistan hosts 10-nation regional economic summit-[Associated Press]-ASIF SHAHZAD-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Participants in a regional economic summit agreed Wednesday to collectively fight the challenge of terrorism and push for greater collaboration in the areas of trade, energy and infrastructure development.Islamabad hosted the day-long 10-nation Economic Cooperation Organization summit to finalize a "Vision 2025" plan for expanding trade and prosperity among member nations."There has never been a more opportune time to realize our dreams of connectivity for regional prosperity," said Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz sharif, who was elected new chairman of the organization. "We can and should achieve even more by pooling together our individual efforts for greater synergy."Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are among the heads of state in attendance. Turkey, Iran and Pakistan founded ECO in 1985. Afghanistan's ambassador to Pakistan, Omar Zakhilwal, said that peace and stability in the region will play a greater role in achieving mutual economic goals."We can meet the challenges of poverty by implementing a joint strategy," he said.Sharif, later in the day, expressed the member nations' resolve to fight terrorism and extremism collectively."We are determined to collectively face challenges such as extremism, terrorism and drug trafficking in order to realize our vision of making the region a zone of peace and prosperity," he said in a televised press conference. "We have committed ourselves to working together for bringing progressive change to the lives of the people in our region, transforming it into a bastion of peace, progress and prosperity."The summit is taking place under tight security after a wave of recent suicide bombings by several different militant groups killed more than 125 people. All roads leading to the summit venue have been blocked and all offices, schools and most businesses in Islamabad have been closed.Pakistan's ongoing war with local and al-Qaida-linked foreign Islamic militants has killed tens of thousands of people. But Islamabad is using the ECO summit as a chance to show investors its potential as one of Asia's emerging markets."Our economic indicators are up," Sharif told the meeting.Government officials have also described the summit as an opportunity to show that Pakistan cannot be isolated from the international scene. Last year Pakistan had to cancel a key regional cooperation conference after neighboring India and Afghanistan refused to attend; both nations blame Pakistani-based militants for carrying out attacks in their countries, and tensions with India have been high over cross-border violence in the disputed Kashmir region.

China calls for calm on North Korea U.N. suspension call-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

BEIJING (Reuters) - China urged calm and restraint on Wednesday after South Korea called for the possible suspension of North Korea's seat at the United Nations to punish it for using chemical weapons to kill the half-brother of its leader.Malaysian police have said two women smeared VX nerve agent, a chemical on a U.N. list of banned weapons of mass destruction, on Kim Jong Nam's face in an assault captured on security cameras in the Malaysian capital's airport on Feb. 13.U.S. and South Korean officials believe Kim Jong Nam was the victim of an assassination orchestrated by North Korea.North Korea said on Tuesday it "categorically rejects" what it called "fictitious and preposterous assumptions".Speaking at the U.N.-backed Conference on Disarmament in Geneva on Tuesday, South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se said the use of chemical weapons was a "wake-up call" and the international community should act - including possibly suspending the isolated North's seat at the United Nations."What I need to say is that the situation at present on the Korean peninsula is complex and sensitive," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said, when asked whether North Korea should be suspended from the United Nations."In this situation, we hope all sides can maintain calm and exercise restraint and not do anything to irritate each other or that may raise regional tensions," Geng told a daily news briefing, without elaborating.While China is North Korea's most important remaining international supporter, it has been angered by its repeated missile and nuclear tests and has supported tough U.N. sanctions.However, China has pushed for talks to resolve the stand-off, and this week is playing host to a senior North Korean diplomat, Vice Foreign Minister Ri Kil Song, the first such high-level visit since June.In a brief statement, China's Foreign Ministry said Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Ri that China's consistent position is that it wants to consolidate the tradition of friendship between the two countries.Wang said all parties should "iron out challenges" and work hard for the denuclearization of the peninsula, the ministry added.There was no mention in the statement of the death of Kim Jong Nam.Under the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons states parties can "in cases of particular gravity" bring an issue to the attention of the U.N. Security Council and the U.N. General Assembly.The U.N. Security Council can recommend to the 193-member General Assembly – likely through the adoption of a resolution - that a state be suspended or expelled. Such a move would need to be approved by two-thirds majority of the General Assembly.Kim Jong Nam had been living in exile, under Beijing's protection, in the Chinese territory of Macau, and had criticized the regime of his family and his half-brother, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Additional reporting by Michelle Nichols at the United Nations; Editing by Robert Birsel and Nick Macfie)

Baghdad (AFP) - Twenty-six thousand Iraqis fled west Mosul in the 10 days since security forces launched a major push to retake it from jihadists, the minister of displacement and migration said Wednesday.Jassem Mohammed al-Jaff announced that field teams received "26,000 displaced people from (west) Mosul during the past 10 days," a statement from the ministry said.But the number who have fled is only a small fraction of the 750,000 people who are believed to have stayed on in west Mosul under Islamic State group rule.The drive to retake the west of Mosul began on February 19, after Iraqi troops retook the city's eastern side the previous month.IS overran large areas north and west of Baghdad in 2014, but Iraqi forces backed by US-led air strikes and other support have since regained most of the territory they lost.The operation to retake Mosul -- the last IS-held city in the country -- was launched on October 17.

Migrant children endure horrors in Libya and Italy By Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 28. Feb, 10:32-The UN's children's fund, Unicef, has said minors face shocking abuse in Libya and risk vanishing into crime and prostitution in Europe.The Unicef report, out on Tuesday (28 February), said more and more children are arriving in Italy alone and required better protection to prevent them falling into the hands of criminals.In one harrowing case, Unicef's regional director Afshan Khan told reporters ahead of the report's release that a 14-year old girl was forced to work as a prostitute in Libya for two years.She then tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea with her mother, as part of a bigger group, but their boat overturned."Her mother didn't survive and she was clinging to her mother's body until the rescue team came," said Khan.Over 90 percent of the 29,000 children that arrived in Italy last year came without a parent or other adult guardian.Khan could not explain the increase in children travelling alone, but said that she met minors from Sierra Leone who had lost their parents to Ebola.Others had been orphaned by the militant extremist group Boko Haram in Nigeria, she said.Unicef noted that many children in Libya end up in one of its 34 detention centres, more than half of which are run by militia groups.Stories of killings, beatings, rape, and forced labour were commonplace and some children had been detained for years.Kamis, a nine-year old boy from Nigeria, said he spent five months at the Sabratha detention centre."They used to beat us every day. They beat babies, children, and adults," Kamis is cited as saying in the report.The EU is keen to improve detention conditions in Libya as part of a wider plan to discourage migrants from coming to Europe.But progress is being held back by instability, with the UN- and EU recognised government in Tripoli in limited control.Unicef has no access to detention centres that are run by local warlords and their militias.One official from Libya's interior ministry said some armed groups were so dangerous that police were afraid to approach their migrant camps."We have no power over these prisons. We cannot even get close because of risk of being killed," the Libyan official told researcher's behind the Unicef report.-EU plan runs into militias-The Libyan central authorities are also a problem.An internal European Commission report from January said women were afraid to report crimes to Libyan police in case the police murdered or raped them.The EU wants the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) and the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) to help people in the militia-controlled areas.But the UNHCR has refused to send ininternational staff for fear of abduction or worse.Unicef estimated that there were at least 23,000 migrant children in Libya.It said that not all of them wanted to reach the EU, but that those who did needed help to deal with psychological trauma.Its report said bureaucratic delays in Italy and fear of deportation prompted many of them to vanish.“There are about 8,000 kids in Italy who have fallen between the cracks and who are … out of the reach of protective services," said Khan.-Missing children turn to crime-Some have ended up working as prostitutes at Rome's central train station, she said.Khan said that without proper support, more of them will end up in the hands of criminals or turn to crime to survive."We are going to end up dragging kids into criminality,” she said.Unicef described the Central Mediterranean migrant route as a criminal enterprise that exploited women and children."The smugglers and traffickers are winning. This is what happens when there are no safe and legal alternatives [for claiming asylum in Europe],” Unicef's deputy executive director Justin Forsyth said.The problem of Europe’s missing children is much bigger than just Italy.The EU police agency in The Hague, Europol, already in early 2015 estimated that 10,000 children had vanished off the map.Italy said over 6,500 children went missing in the first 10 months of 2016. Germany said it had lost track of almost 9,000 minors.Recent data compiled by the NGO Missing Children Europe says that eight unaccompanied children are reported missing every week in Sweden alone.Slovenia estimates that 80 percent of its migrant children disappear.Belgian liberal MEP Hilde Vautmans is hoping to raise the issue in a plenary debate at the European Parliament.She said the Commission must be made to deliver on its promises of “action plans” to help Europe’s new and most vulnerable minority."We can't accept that children sleep in the streets and are pushed back into the hands of smugglers," she told this website last week.

Ethiopian schools linked to Turkish cleric are sold-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — A network of schools in Ethiopia linked to Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, accused by Turkey of masterminding a failed coup attempt last year, is changing ownership.The sale of the Nejashi Ethio-Turkish International Schools follows pressure from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is urging countries that host institutions inspired by Gulen to close or take them over.Cecil Aydin, a coordinator at the schools in Ethiopia, this week described the sale of the school network to a group of German educators as a "business decision."Aydin did not identify the new owners. The German embassy has not commented.Ethiopia previously said the schools would be handed over to a foundation backed by the Turkish government.

Saudi king signs range of deals in Indonesia at start of visit-[Reuters]-By Darren Whiteside-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

BOGOR, Indonesia (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's King Salman held talks with Indonesia's president on Wednesday and signed a range of cooperation agreements at the beginning of a 12-day visit to the world's largest Muslim-majority country.The royal visit is the first by a Saudi monarch in nearly five decades.The leaders oversaw, among 11 pacts, the signing of agreements to take down trade barriers and a new agreement between state energy companies Saudi Aramco and Pertamina, building on an existing $6 billion plan to expand Indonesia's biggest refinery.The octogenarian king arrived at a military air base in the capital, Jakarta, earlier on Wednesday and descended slowly from the plane on an escalator before being met by President Joko Widodo who escorted him along a red carpet flanked by guards to a limousine.King Salman is being accompanied by an entourage that Indonesian officials have said could number up to 1,500. His party is bringing 459 tons of luggage and equipment, including two luxury cars, according to media.The king was also greeted by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Jakarta's Christian governor, who is on trial for allegedly insulting the Koran. Purnama has denied wrongdoing but his blasphemy trial has inflamed religious tensions.The kingdom's ambassador to Indonesia told Reuters on Tuesday the two countries would cooperate in tackling terrorism and that military officers were training in each other's countries to counter Islamic State militants.Secular Indonesia has grown increasingly concerned about security, after several attacks over the past year blamed on supporters of Islamic State, and has deployed at least 9,000 police and military for the 12-day visit.Roads were closed to traffic and snipers stationed along the route the king's convoy took from the airport to the presidential palace in the town of Bogor.Hundreds of children holding Indonesian and Saudi flags welcomed the king.-'BEST PRACTICES'-King Salman held talks with Widodo as torrential rain lashed the palace grounds.He will also meet religious leaders, make a speech at parliament, and visit Southeast Asia's biggest mosque, Istiqlal, on Thursday before a brief trip to Brunei and then an extended break on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali.Indonesia hopes to attract billions of dollars of investment from the kingdom, though the trip will also focus on building cultural and religious ties and promoting education.Saudi Arabia aims to open more Islamic schools in Indonesia, which will teach religion using the Arabic language, and step up the number of scholarships for students.The king's visit to Indonesia comes as fringe Islamist groups grow in influence and Muslim leaders take an increasingly strict line on Islamic issues, which is at odds with Indonesia's traditional brand of moderate Islam."The two countries face the same challenge of rising radicalism and intolerance so cooperation in those areas will be beneficial," said Yenny Wahid, a moderate Indonesian Muslim figure and head of the Wahid Foundation."Saudi Arabia has been aggressive in de-radicalization and rehab programs for terrorists. We can learn best practices from each other."King Salman started his Asia trip in Malaysia and as well as the Brunei stop he will visit Japan, China, the Maldives and then Jordan.(Additional reporting by Jakarta bureau; Writing by Ed Davies and Kanupriya Kapoor; Editing by Michael Perry, Robert Birsel)

Barack, Michelle Obama sign bumper book deal-Bidding for publishing rights tops $60 million, a record sum for US presidential memoirs-By Thomas URBAIN March 1, 2017, 12:29 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

NEW YORK (AFP) — Barack and Michelle Obama have signed a deal to publish their memoirs with New York-based Penguin Random House, in a coveted contract reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars.America’s first African American president is already the author of two memoirs and a children’s book.He has frequently declared himself to have a “writer’s sensibility” and has said he does not want to write a conventional blow-by-blow account of his time in the White House.Michelle Obama’s memoir is likely to be just as eagerly anticipated.A descendant of slaves, she became the first African American first lady and garnered high approval ratings — to the point where she was arguably one of the country’s most respected and popular women.Penguin Random House said in a statement it has “acquired world publication rights for two books, to be written by president and Mrs. Obama respectively.”-Record sum-The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but bidding for the high-profile double book deal topped $60 million, a record sum for US presidential memoirs, according to the Financial Times.Until now, the record for a US presidential memoir was $15 million paid for Bill Clinton’s “My Life,” released in 2004. George W. Bush received $10 million for “Decision Points” in 2010.Hillary Clinton reportedly received a $14 million advance for “Hard Choices,” her account of her time as secretary of state under Obama.The Obama deal was negotiated by Washington super-lawyer Robert Barnett, who represented both the Clintons and Bush.As part of the agreement, the company will donate one million books in the Obama family’s name to First Book, a charity, Penguin said.“We are very much looking forward to working together with President and Mrs. Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance,” said Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle.The Obamas took a long vacation after Donald Trump was sworn in as president on January 20, and the former president has stuck by a pledge to keep a low public profile unless events threatening what he called America’s “core values” warranted that he speak out.He did just that in January, just days after Trump enacted his ban on travelers from seven mostly Muslim countries, and on all refugees. Obama expressed support for protests that sprang up nationwide against the now-suspended Trump travel ban.Whereas US presidents tend to leave town after leaving the White House, the Obamas are settling into a rented mansion in Washington’s posh Kalorama district until their younger daughter Sasha finishes high school. Their eldest daughter Malia will be attending Harvard in the fall.Another new neighbor in Kalorama is Trump’s daughter Ivanka, who has rented a house along with her husband Jared Kushner and their three children, near the Obamas.

Trump recommits to U.S. allies but says they must pay 'fair share'-[Reuters]-By Matt Spetalnick-YAHOONEWS-March 1, 2017

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday reaffirmed support for the United States' longstanding security alliances around the world but insisted that friends and partners from Europe to the Middle East to the Pacific must “pay their fair share of the cost.”In his first nationally televised speech to Congress since taking office on Jan. 20, Trump sought to reassure allies still uneasy over doubts he raised during the 2016 presidential campaign about his commitment to their defense and to maintaining a U.S. global leadership role.But he also made clear that he expects those countries to shoulder more of the burden of their own security needs, echoing a campaign message that some allies had taken advantage of Washington’s generosity in providing them a security umbrella.“Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world,” Trump told a joint session of Congress. “It is American leadership based on vital security interests that we share with our allies across the globe.”He specifically assured NATO allies of his new administration’s continued commitment to the decades-old alliance. However, he made no mention of one of the main sources of European concern: his friendly overtures during the campaign toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.“We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism and a Cold War that defeated communism,” Trump said.“But our partners must meet their financial obligations,” he said. “And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that.”Then, deviating from his prepared remarks, Trump added: “In fact, I can tell you the money is pouring in. Very nice." But he offered no specifics.Some critics had accused Trump of failing to recognize the benefit that accrued to the United States of having strong democratic allies helping to stabilize volatile areas like the Middle East, Ukraine and South Asia.Trump’s remarks followed the deployment earlier this month of senior Cabinet members to Brussels, Bonn and Munich, Germany, aimed at calming European worries.The Europeans heard from Defense Secretary James Mattis that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization military alliance was not "obsolete" after all, despite Trump's suggestions to the contrary.Vice President Mike Pence told them that Russia would be "held accountable" for its actions in Ukraine.Mattis made his first foreign trip to South Korea and Japan, where he sought to ease concerns about what Trump's self-styled "America First" strategy means for U.S. foreign policy in Asia.While seeming to tackle some of the doubts of U.S. allies, Trump still made clear that he wanted them to do more.“We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific, to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost,” he said.(Reporting by Matt Spetalnick; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

The rise of Benin's devil-hunting female pastor-[AFP]-Josué MEHOUENOU with Célia LEBUR in Lagos-YAHOONEWS-February 28, 2017

Cotonou (AFP) - In the Very Holy Church of Jesus Christ of Baname, the 25-year-old founder calls herself God, her business partner is a self-styled Pope and devotees pledge to end the reign of the Devil.Its charismatic theology and clashes with other religions have caused it to be expelled from Benin's community of churches, and repeated scandals keep the sect in the public eye.The latest episode occurred in January, when five followers suffocated to death after they were told to lock themselves inside sealed rooms with burning incense and pray for deliverance.But it seems no amount of bad press can dent the Very Holy Church's soaring popularity, or eclipse the fire-and-brimstone appeal of its leader.On special Sundays, thousands of followers climb up a hill in the Zou district in Baname, 130 kilometres (about 80 miles) north of the commercial capital Cotonou, to witness one of the country's most seductive pastors.Vicentia Tadagbe Tchranvoukinni, who calls herself "Perfect" and "God's Holy Spirit", promises to "drive out demons".The round-faced young woman founded the church in 2009. Since then, her influence has grown rapidly across the country."Just by walking up this hill, you are delivered and cured of many ailments," she proclaims on her website, which shows videos of her in a cassock and her signature cherry-red cloche hat addressing cheering crowds.Her story is a take on immaculate conception: Tchranvoukinni claims she fell from the sky in northern Benin and was found by a Fulani shepherd in the bush.- Religious 'warriors' -West Africa is no stranger to larger-than-life pastors and mega-churches, and Benin itself is a tumultuous hub of mystical religions and animism.But despite her cherubic appearance, Tchranvoukinni stands apart for her vitriolic condemnation of other beliefs -- notably voodoo, which is an official religion here.Critics accuse her of fanning hatred between normally peaceful co-existing communities of different faiths.On January 8, violent clashes broke out between her followers and residents in the southern town of Djime, who said they "insulted and offended" traditional leaders during an "evangelisation mission", one local official said.Local media said two people were killed, several others were injured and a number of vehicles were torched.There was no official death toll but Benin's government said it regretted the "loss of life".According to daily newspaper La Nouvelle Tribune, the "warriors of the Church of Baname" came dressed in grey, armed with guns, machetes and clubs.It wasn't the first time church followers had turned violent.In 2014, clashes broke out at one of its rallies in Cotonou after youths from the Kpondehou area refused to leave their sports field. Several people were seriously injured.Violence broke out again the following year in the central town of Save between church devotees and Roman Catholics.- Expelled -Tchranvoukinni started the church after meeting a Catholic priest, Mathias Vigan, from the parish of Sainte-Odile-de-Baname in 2009."Perfect" was not yet 20 and had come to be exorcised. But it was the young woman who captivated the man of the cloth, whom she would later install as "Pope Christopher XVIII".The religious odd couple built up their own congregation and to the chagrin of the Catholic church, Vigan started wearing all-white outfits similar to papal regalia -- ornate mitre and all.Tchranvoukinni meanwhile called herself God.By 2013, the Episcopal Conference of Benin -- the country's assembly of bishops -- expelled Tchranvoukinni and Vigan, and condemned the new church as a cult."Of all the dioceses of our country, and even beyond... our uninformed faithful with a thirst for the sensational and illusion of the new come in large numbers to Baname," the conference said.In January 2014, the Benin government launched an investigation into the church after receiving what it said were "numerous complaints" from religious communities, political and traditional leaders.Benin's former president, Thomas Boni Yayi -- himself a member of a pentecostal church -- summoned "Perfect" for talks but it had little effect and no legal action was taken against her.- 'End the reign of Beelzebub' -The Church of Baname's spokesman, "cardinal" Cesaire Agossa, insists that Tchranvoukinni is a divine messenger."People do not understand that the Holy Spirit Creator of Heaven and Earth uses the body of Perfect as its temple," he told AFP.Her mission? "To end the reign of Beelzebub, to succeed in exterminating sorcery and all evil spirits that prevent mankind from developing," he said.Agossa, a former government advisor and the head of a media group, maintained the church had "never orchestrated violence" and its success had "aroused jealousy and hatred".In the meantime, Tchranvoukinni's sphere of influence keeps growing.She publicly endorsed President Patrice Talon, who was elected in March 2016. He has yet to say a word about the Church of Baname.

Was a Game Called 'Blue Whale' Responsible for Dozens of Suicides in Russia?-While certain groups on social media have been accused of promoting suicide, they have not been found to have directly caused an uptick in young people taking their own lives.SNOOPES-FEB 28,17

In February 2017, English-language web sites caught wind of a “suicide game” that had reportedly resulted in more than a hundred deaths in Russia. The general premise of the game, which goes by several names but is commonly referred to as the “blue whale” game, is as follows:The player signs up to play the game and agrees to follow instructions over the course of 50 days. An administrator assigns a series of tasks (anything from cutting yourself to listening to song) that the player must accomplish.The player wins when the complete the final task, committing suicide, on the 50th day.The claim that the “blue whale” suicide game (named after the way whales sometimes beach themselves, and then die) had resulted in a wave of suicides appears to have originated with a misinterpretation of a May 2016 story from a Russian outlet called Novaya Gazeta. The article reported that there had been dozens of suicides of children in Russia during a six-month span, and that some of the people who took their lives were part of the same online community on VK.com, a social media network based out of St. Petersburg, Russia:We counted 130 suicides of children that occurred in Russia from November 2015 to April 2016 (!) – Almost all of them were members of the same group on the Internet.Novaya Gazeta claimed that “at least” eighty of the suicides were linked to these “blue whale” games, but an investigation by Radio Free Europe found that no suicides had been definitively linked to these online communities:But while the Russian-language Internet is groaning with profiles of young people playing or seeking to play the game, shocking photographs of self-injury like cutting marked with the game’s hashtags, and purported links to teen suicides, not a single death in Russia or Central Asia has been definitively tied to Blue Whale.[…]-Over the last six months or so, dozens of suicides and attempted suicides in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan have been provisionally linked to the game, although on closer inspection none of them has been found to have a conclusive tie.Furthermore, the Novaya Gazeta report was highly criticized at the time of its publication. For instance, the web site Meduza noted that Noyaya Gazeta arrived at the conclusion that a social media game was causing teenagers to commit suicide because several teenagers from the same social media group had taken their own lives. However, Meduza argued, it is more reasonable to assume that depressed or suicidal teenagers are simply drawn to the same social media groups, and not that the groups were causing them to commit suicide:The author of the material in the “Novaya Gazeta” states that the community in the social network “VKontakte” bring children to suicide. As a confirmation of this it lists the following fact: a few dozen teenagers who committed suicide were in groups devoted to this topic. However, to reliably establish a causal link in this case is impossible, and it is quite possible to assume an inverse relationship – a teen becomes part of a group due to the fact that it is contains people who struggle with suicidal thoughts.The reasons teenagers commit suicide are well researched. According to data from the General Prosecutor’s Office, in Russia 62% of suicides among adolescents are associated with family conflicts and general distress, conflicts with teachers, classmates, friends, and also with the fear of violence by adults and callousness of others. From a report on the topic from the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the increase in the number of suicides “occurs in times of economic crisis and sharp social change.” For example, in Russia there was an increase the number of suicides from 1987 to 1994, when the USSR collapsed. As soon as the company adapted to its new socio-economic conditions, the number of suicides stabilized.While these “Blue Whale” suicide groups have not been directly linked to hundreds of suicides in Russia, the groups do exist. They started shortly after the death of Rina Palenkova, a Russian teenager who purportedly took her own life shortly after posting a photograph of herself on VK.com. The image was widely circulated on social media, and Rina soon became the central figure of a strange cult-like group:Social media communities such as “Sea of Whales” and shock video sites shared photographs of Rina and spread a rumor that she was part of a suicide sect:These groups actively exploited the theme of suicide – continued the cult of Rina Palenkovoy and published shock content: psychedelic and sinister video recording suicides. The creators of the community filled it with strange characters – Hebrew inscriptions, numbers, codes, pictures and video with a strange logo (it turned out to have been borrowed from the logo of a brand of lingerie).[…]-Later, groups of creators began to promote them through an interactive quest, ARG, a game with augmented reality. They took the idea of a mysterious quest “Insider”, created in 2012 – few details exist of the original project, but you can get acquainted with its ominous promo video – and created on that basis a new ARG with the levels and tasks in the real world. Author of the new project “Insiders” Nosferatu by Alexander refused to communicate with Apparat. According to the testimony of other users, the project initially had no relation to suicide, but later it “stole” the administrators of destructive groups. One of the elements of the project was a timer on the site, counting down the 70 days prior to a certain date – according to the F57, until the day of the mass suicides.There is certainly a reason to be concerned about groups that venerate and promote suicide, but the creator of the “Sea of Whales” community said that he had no interest in encouraging people to take their own lives. Rather, the group’s creator says that they created the game and the surrounding lore to drive traffic to the page:It took just one day, however, for the news website Lenta.ru to get in touch with More Kitov, the creator of the Sea of Whales community (whales “commit suicide” by beaching themselves) – yet astonishingly, he claimed that the administrators of such groups had no interest in grooming minors to take their own lives but were merely interested in boosting their commercial profile.He said that Filip Lis, the administrator of the now-deleted community f57, just wanted to increase the number of subscribers to attract advertisers to his page – in Russia, the social network VKontakte is also a popular advertising market, and you can earn a lot of money from popular communities.Having come across this topic, which was trendy with teenagers, Lis launched the myth of the “sect” and used Rina Palenkova (a young girl who reportedly committed suicide) to promote it. He sold her cloned pages, reposts, videos and photos of her grave as well as screenshots of her correspondence. After VKontakte removed f57, he created similar groups.“I looked at all the fuss, got stunned by the hype and created my whales,” More Kitov told Lenta.ru. He insisted that his aim was to dissuade teenagers prone to suicidal thoughts, but first it was necessary to “become one of them.”Russia has a high baseline suicide rate among young people. In 2013, for instance, 461 minors took their own lives.
