We can hit Gaza harder, general warns as leaders meet on flareup-Following overnight rocket attack, head of IDF’s Southern Command warns Hamas that Israel ready ‘to respond more forcefully’ in future-By TOI staff and Judah Ari Gross-17 October 2018
A top Israeli general said Wednesday the military hit Hamas hard and would step up attacks in the future, as top political leaders and army brass met in Jerusalem to discuss how to deal with a surge in fighting with Gaza.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the high-level security cabinet Wednesday evening, after rocket fire from the Gaza Strip overnight and Israeli retaliatory strikes raised the possibility of a large-scale military conflict in the Palestinian enclave.IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, who cut short a trip to the United States due to the fresh violence in Gaza, went directly to the security cabinet session after landing in Israel, Hadashot TV news reported.As the security cabinet convened, Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the head of the Israel Defense Forces Southern Command, warned the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group that Israel will “know how to respond more forcefully for situations in the future.”In response to the launching of two rockets from Gaza, one of which hit a home in the southern city of Beersheba, the Israeli Air Force conducted strikes against some 20 targets in the Gaza Strip, including a border-crossing tunnel.In a video, Halevi said the army conducted “significant strikes against Hamas weapons manufacturing facilities, headquarters, posts and underground infrastructure. Everything that was attacked, was destroyed. It will be difficult for them to rebuild, to bring in the money (to pay for reconstruction).”The general also accused the terror group of deceiving the Strip’s population.“Hamas pretends to rule Gaza, tells Gaza residents that it’s trying to improve their lives. But in reality, the riots on the fence, the improvised explosive device, the explosive balloons, the incendiary balloons and, as we’ve seen tonight, rockets make the lives of Gaza Strip worse,” he said.Halevi’s warning to Hamas came hours after Netanyahu vowed Israel would “act forcefully” in response to violence from Gaza. The comment came as the prime minister met with top security officials at the headquarters of the IDF’s Gaza Division for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already-high border tensions skyrocketing.In the Strip, Hamas members reportedly evacuated posts out of fears of fresh airstrikes overnight and the terror group’s leadership had gone into hiding.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.Reports Wednesday said that Abbas Kamel, head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Services, had cancelled a trip to Gaza, the West Bank and Israel set for Thursday amid the tensions surrounding Gaza.Hamas and the second largest terror group in the Strip, the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad, officially denied carrying out the rocket attack, saying it was “irresponsible” and undermined an Egyptian-led negotiation effort.Israeli officials rejected the claim, saying only Hamas and Islamic Jihad had the capability of shooting rockets that could reach Beersheba.There were no injuries in Wednesday’s attack, despite the rocket scoring a direct hit on a home, after mother Miri Tamano managed to drag her three sons into a reinforced bomb shelter seconds before the strike.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war. The previous rocket, which struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9, came as Palestinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gaza border.Rocket attacks on Beersheba — home to more than 200,000 people — are rare and considered a major escalation.Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan said an Iron Dome anti-missile battery would be deployed in the Beersheba area in the wake of the attack, a possible signal Israel expects hostilities with Gaza to continue despite the tentative calm that had taken hold by Wednesday afternoon.Since March 30, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have participated in a series of protests and riots dubbed the “Great March of Return,” which have mostly involved the burning of tires and rock-throwing along the security fence, but have also seen shooting attacks and bombings as well as the sending of incendiary balloons and kites into Israel.There have also been several flareups that took Israel and Hamas to the brink of war, with Palestinians firing rockets into Israel and the IDF responding with airstrikes.Some 155 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the clashes with IDF troops, according to AP figures; Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of the dead were its members. One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a sniper on the border.
US peace envoy says Gaza rocket attack ‘sets back’ humanitarian efforts-Jason Greenblatt condemns fire from Palestinian enclave overnight, notes resulting closure of schools in Beersheba-By TOI staff-17 October 2018
US President Donald Trump’s envoy for Middle East peace condemned the firing of rockets Wednesday from the Gaza Strip toward Israel, accusing the coastal enclave’s Hamas rulers of undermining humanitarian efforts in the Palestinian territory.One of the rockets launched overnight struck a home in Beersheba, leading to the closure of schools in the southern city, while the other landed off the coast of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. The Israel Defense Forces said it struck some 20 targets in Gaza in response to the rocket fire.“This morning schools across Beer Sheva, Israel were closed because of rocket attacks from Gaza,” Jason Greenblatt wrote on Twitter.“Once again, the regime in Gaza sets back the world’s efforts to better the lives of Palestinians in Gaza and endangers & harms Israelis,” he added.No group in Gaza has claimed the rocket attack. Hamas, which rules the Strip, and fellow terror organization Islamic Jihad issued a statement denying they were behind it. Israel said it holds Hamas responsible as the enclave’s ruler while officials noted only Hamas and Islamic Jihad had the capability of shooting rockets that could reach Beersheba.Greenblatt’s condemnation came after the European Union Wednesday said that rocket fire toward Israel must stop immediately.An EU spokesperson said in a statement that “indiscriminate attacks against civilians are completely unacceptable.”The European body also called for calm after Israel struck back with some 20 airstrikes in the Strip, saying that de-escalation has to be the priority.“The cycle of violence and despair has to be broken. Only a political solution can put an end to the violence,” the statement read.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to the rocket attack, as a shaky calm appeared to return to the area. The comments came after the prime minister met with top security officials for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already high border tensions skyrocketing.He later convened a meeting of the high-level security cabinet to discuss the security situation in the south, as the head of the IDF’s Southern Command warned Hamas that Israel could respond more forcefully the next time.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.Reports Wednesday said that Abbas Kamel, head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Services, had cancelled a trip to Gaza, the West Bank and Israel set for Thursday amid the tensions surrounding Gaza.There were no injuries in Wednesday’s attack, despite the rocket scoring a direct hit on a home, after mother Miri Tamano managed to drag her three sons into a reinforced bomb shelter seconds before the strike.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war.

Beersheba says no decision yet on reopening schools as tense night sets in-Many residents of south prepare to sleep in bomb shelters overnight in wake of Gaza flareup that saw rocket land direct hit on home-By TOI staff Today, 12:37 am 0
The Beersheba Municipality said that it had still not decided whether schools there would remain closed on Thursday for a second straight day due to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip that struck a home in the southern city early Wednesday morning.It said a decision, that would be made based on developing events, was expected by Thursday morning.The Wednesday evening announcement from the municipality came as residents of southern Israel braced for a tense night following Wednesday’s violence, with many planning to sleep in bomb-proof rooms despite the tentative calm that appeared to have taken hold.“I think this night we’ll spend sleeping in the protected room. Despite the quiet today, it isn’t nice to admit there is no other choice,” Yifat Ben Shoshan, a resident of the Gaza area, told the Walla news site.She called on the military to use “any solution” to return to the status quo that prevailed in the south prior to the start of border clashes in March that have seen a number of flareups between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, as well as the near daily launching of airborne incendiary objects at Israeli forests and farmland.“This is what our daily routine looks like,” Kibbutz Dorot resident Orli Kabuly told Ynet. “Explosions with explanations that aren’t convincing, fields and forests going up in flames, plumes of smoke in the background from [burning] tires and fires, children and adults with post trauma and work as usual.”As residents of the south prepared for the possibility of further violence overnight, the high-level security cabinet continued to meet into the early hours Thursday to discuss the security situation in Gaza.Earlier Wednesday, Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan said that the Iron Dome anti-rocket system would soon be deployed to the Beersheba area.“An Iron Dome battery will be set up in the Beersheba area in the coming days, perhaps even tonight,” Ben Dahan said in the Knesset in response to a question about the IDF Home Front Command’s preparedness for war in the south.The Israel Defense Forces would not confirm Wednesday night whether the battery had yet been deployed. The placement of the anti-rocket system near the city might signal Israel expects hostilities with Gaza to continue.Ben Dahan’s statement came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with top defense officials at the military’s Gaza Division headquarters for a security assessment following the flareup, warning that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to violence from the Palestinian enclave.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.In the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, a mid-range rocket from the Gaza Strip bearing a heavy 20 kilogram (44 pound) warhead struck a house in Beersheba, causing significant damage to the structure.The residents were spared injury as they had rushed into their bomb shelter after the incoming rocket siren sounded in the city.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war. The previous rocket, which struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9, came as Palestinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gaza border.In response, the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes on some 20 targets in the Strip connected to the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group and other organizations in the coastal enclave.A second rocket fired from Gaza Wednesday morning crashed into the sea off the coast of greater Tel Aviv area, known in Israel as Gush Dan. The military would only confirm that it struck “off the coast of a large city.”There was no word if an Iron Dome was or would be deployed in the Tel Aviv region.
EU says rocket fire toward Israel ‘completely unacceptable’-European body says the firing of missiles from Gaza must stop immediately, and that only a political solution can bring an end to ‘the cycle of violence and despair’-By TOI staff and Judah Ari Gross-17 October 2018
The European Union on Wednesday said that rocket fire toward Israel must stop immediately after a predawn missile attack struck a home in the southern city of Beersheba, causing damage but no injury.A second rocket fired from Gaza landed off the coast of the greater Tel Aviv area, known in Israel as Gush Dan, which consists of the metropolis itself along with a number of large suburbs.An EU spokesperson said in a statement that “indiscriminate attacks against civilians are completely unacceptable.”The European body also called for calm after Israel struck back with some 20 airstrikes in the Strip, saying that de-escalation has to be the priority.“The cycle of violence and despair has to be broken. Only a political solution can put an end to the violence,” the statement read.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to the rocket attack, as a shaky calm appeared to return to the area.The comments came after the prime minister met with top security officials for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already high border tensions skyrocketing.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.In the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, a mid-range rocket from the Gaza Strip bearing a heavy 20-kilogram (44-pound) warhead struck a house in the southern city of Beersheba, causing significant damage to the structure.The residents were spared injury as they had rushed into their bomb shelter after the incoming rocket siren sounded in the city. The Iron Dome air defense system will be deployed to the area “shortly,” the deputy defense minister said.“An Iron Dome battery will be set up in the Beersheba area in the coming days, perhaps even tonight,” Eli Ben Dahan told the Knesset.In response, the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes on some 20 targets in the Strip connected to the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group and other organizations in the coastal enclave.Hamas and the second largest terror group in the Strip, the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad, officially denied carrying out the rocket attack, saying it was “irresponsible” and undermined an Egyptian-led negotiation effort.Hamas, which seeks to destroy Israel, wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Abbas’s Palestinian Authority in 2007. Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks that come out of the Gaza Strip.Abbas, who is demanding a resumption of control of the territory, has been working to undermine Hamas’s government in Gaza, and in recent months has levied severe sanctions on the Strip, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there.On Tuesday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned that the military was gearing up for a major strike on Gaza to stop ongoing violence.“I’ve held a series of meetings with the head of the Southern Command, the head of the [Gaza] Division, the brigade commanders, the battalion commanders, also with soldiers. My impression is that they all have reached the understanding that the situation as it is today cannot continue,” he said.Beersheba Mayor Ruvik Danilovich on Wednesday criticized the government for not bringing calm to the south.“This is an impossible situation,” he told Hadashot TV news. “In general, what has been going on in the Negev and the south in recent months is an unbearable situation… and we call on the government to put an end to it. It is impossible to live in a situation like this, no one is eager for a fight, but if this is repeated, something must be done.”Earlier Danilovich canceled all school studies in the city until further notice.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war. The previous rocket, which struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9, came as Palestinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gaza border.Rocket attacks on Beersheba — home to more than 200,000 people — are rare and considered a major escalation.A second rocket fired from Gaza Wednesday morning fell out at sea across from the greater Tel Aviv area. The military would only confirm that it struck “off the coast of a large city.”Since March 30, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have participated in a series of protests and riots dubbed the “Great March of Return,” which have mostly involved the burning of tires and rock-throwing along the security fence, but have also seen shooting attacks and bombings as well as the sending of incendiary balloons and kites into Israel.There have also been several flareups that took Israel and Hamas to the brink of war, with Palestinians firing rockets into Israel and the IDF responding with airstrikes.Some 155 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the clashes with IDF troops, according to AP figures; Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of the dead were its members.

Kushner shielded from reporter on plane trying to ask about Khashoggi-Bodyguard tells CBS reporter there’s ‘time and a place’ for questions and ‘I don’t give a damn who you are’; Secret Service says it is reviewing the incident-By Agencies and TOI staff-17 October 2018
CBS News says a Secret Service agent blocked one of its correspondents from asking Jared Kushner a question when he was walking out of an airplane, saying there was a “time and a place” for such interactions.A network spokeswoman said Wednesday that reporter Errol Barnett happened to be on the same Washington to New York flight as the presidential son-in-law. CBS said he showed a press credential and attempted to ask a question about Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi.A short video posted online showed what appeared to be an agent saying, “I don’t give a damn who you are.”The Secret Service said it was reviewing the incident and that appropriate action would be taken depending on what its investigation shows.Jared Kushner did not answer my question and the secret service informs me, while obscuring my phone, that despite identifying as WH press, there is a “time and a place” for questions.It is unclear when and where that is. pic.twitter.com/KRzlj3hrqw— errol barnett (@errolbarnett) October 16, 2018-“I waited until everyone in front of me had deplaned and as Jared Kushner approached and the Secret Service were lining the aisle, I took out my camera. I had my CBS press pass on, I had my White House press pass as well which, as you all know, this is vetted by the Secret Service. So if the Secret Service sees this, they know you’re legit.” Barnett told his outlet.“The camera was rolling and the Secret Service agent kind of ran interference, put his hand over my phone, over the camera.”Kushner is thought to have cultivated a close relationship with Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.He has given few interviews or public statements and has avoided the press on other occasions.Hey, it’s Jared. I’m outside. Can someone let me in? … Jared KUSHNER, the president’s son-in-law … I’m here for the NAFTA negotiations … Can someone unlock the door? … There are reporters out here asking me about the op-ed, & it’s getting awkward. pic.twitter.com/in0FHsTtIr— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) September 7, 2018-Saudi Arabia, a key US ally in the Mideast, is under pressure to explain what happened to Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributor living in the US who had been critical of the crown prince. Turkish officials have said he was murdered, and the Turkish newspaper’s report said an audio recording revealed gory details about Khashoggi’s demise inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.US President Donald Trump has repeated denials by the Saudi king and crown prince that they knew anything about Khashoggi’s fate, and he has warned of a rush to judgment.
Israel and US postal services issue joint Hanukkah stamp-Communications Minister Ayoub Kara and US Ambassador David Friedman attend commemorative launch, which also marks 70 years since the two countries established diplomatic relations-By JTA and TOI staff-17 October 2018
Israel Post and the US Postal Service have issued a joint stamp for Hanukkah on Tuesday, which also celebrates 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United States.The new stamp design was launched simultaneously in the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, the oldest synagogue in the United States, and at the American Center in Jerusalem.“Today’s joint stamp issue is a symbol of the shared values and the cultural affinity between the United States and Israel,” US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said at the Jerusalem ceremony.Communications Minister Ayoub Kara was also in attendance, along with the Israeli Postal Company Chairman Hezi Zaieg and the CEO of the Israeli Postal Company Danny Goldstein.Postal Service Judicial Officer Gary Shapiro said in Rhode Island: “Starting today, this work of art celebrating the Jewish Festival of Lights will travel on millions of letters and packages, throughout America and around the world.”The stamp art features a Hanukkah menorah created using the technique of papercutting, a Jewish folk art, by artist Tamar Fishman. Behind the menorah is a shape that resembles an ancient oil jug representing the miracle of the oil that burned in the candelabra in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after its sacking and recapture for the eight days necessary to resupply. Additional design elements include dreidels and a pomegranate plant with fruit and flowers.The stamp is being issued in the United States as a Forever stamp, which will always be equal in value to the current first class mail one-ounce price. It will sell in Israel for 8.30 shekels, the cost of a regular first-class stamp. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Dec. 2.The first joint US-Israel Hanukkah postal stamp was issued in 1996.

First legal weed sold in Canada at Newfoundland shops-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 16, 2018
The first legal recreational cannabis has officially been sold in Canada.In Newfoundland and parts of Labrador, which has a separate timezone from the rest of Canada, midnight comes earlier, and people were ready and waiting for marijuana to be sold to them over the counter.The first sales went to Ian Power and Nikki Rose, who lined up outside awaiting the opening of the Tweed retail location on Water Street in downtown St. John's.The lineup at the Tweed store started at around 8 p.m. NT, and steadily grew as the time ticked down to 12 a.m.Ian Power lined up at 8 p.m. so he could "make history.""It's been my dream to be the first person to buy the first legal gram of cannabis in Canada, and here I finally am," Power said."I'm elated. I'm so excited, I can't stop smiling. I'm not cold. It's freezing cold out, but I'm not cold."Marijuana became legal across Canada as of Oct. 17, months later than the original target date set out by the federal government. The Senate passed the bill earlier this year, making Canada only the second country to legalize cannabis.Tweed opened its doors just before midnight so customers could start filing in, amid a crowd of media, to line up to buy their first legal bud."When's the last time you bought a gram and got a receipt for it? Never happened," said Canopy CEO Bruce Linton to his first customers, Power and Rose, as they stood in the front of the line for sales to officially start."For me it just proves that Canadians are open to this, they're ready for this. It's not like, 'Oh my God look at that sketchy character,'" Linton told CBC News after ringing in the first sale.Linton added that at the company's headquarters in Smiths Falls, Ont., he was approached by a 102-year-old woman who was curious about cannabis products."Everybody wants to understand it," Linton said. "They don't like ignoring it."Scrapping the stigma-Meanwhile, Power, who said he has advocated for cannabis users and patients for years, said he's hopeful legalization will help eliminate what he calls stigma around the substance."I think the social stigma of the 'stupid stoner' or the criminal element for using cannabis, a benign substance, as my choice of medicine or recreation, I think that's gonna change," Power said."Cannabis is in all walks of life. People who are unemployed, to the lawyers and judges in the country, so why not?"Last week, the Newfoundland and Labrador government announced that as of 12:01 a.m., marijuana would be able to be sold.The NLC, the Crown regulatory agency, then said retailers would be allowed to operate from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m., meaning there's a two-hour window at the very start of Oct. 17 when marijuana can be purchased.Canopy Growth, one of Canada's largest cannabis companies, officially opened its Tweed store at 11:30 p.m.Linton nearly missed the first legal sale due to high winds Tuesday that delayed his flight, but he was able to land to be on hand to sell the country's first legal weed.There are a number of other retailers, like THC Distribution in Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, just outside of St. John's, where owners are also opening for midnight sales.Owner Thomas H. Clarke said he's "living the dream" opening a pot store at home, but worries that he might be out of product by Friday.His first customer was his father, Don, while a crowd of about 100 people waited outside in line on a chilly and windy night to make their first legal purchases."It's awesome," said Don Clarke, about buying from his son's shop.He said it feels "unbelievable" to be able to purchase marijuana legally, after being a user for 50 years."A bit late. I mean, we could have done this in 1969 or '71," he said."It's been discussed at length — to overkill."While the supply may be limited when sales start up, Clarke said there will be a wider selection available as time passes and more items hit the market.Other shops also had lines outside their doors once midnight hit, with people scurrying to get in and make their legal purchases of marijuana before the mandatory closure at 2 a.m.Each province sets its own marijuana regulations, including at what age people can purchase it, locations, quantity limits and smoking locations.
U.S. border patrol warns 'amnesty' for pot convictions doesn't guarantee entry-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
A senior U.S. border patrol official is warning travellers that cannabis remains an illegal narcotic in the U.S. despite Canada's legalization — and even if you've been granted amnesty for a previous pot-related criminal conviction, you could still be denied entry to the United States.The statement comes as Ottawa readies a plan to allow people to apply for a pardon for minor pot-related convictions. A person with a criminal history typically seeks a pardon to make it easier to rent an apartment, apply for a mortgage, get a job or volunteer, or cross the Canada-U.S. border.Federal Liberal cabinet ministers are expected to unveil details of the pardon plan tomorrow — Oct. 17 — when cannabis for recreational purposes becomes officially legal in Canada."Really, we don't recognize the Canadian amnesty. If you've been the subject of a violation of U.S. laws, that will still make you inadmissible to our country," Todd Owen, the assistant commissioner of field operations at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), said in a teleconference with reporters Tuesday.Owen said it doesn't matter whether someone has received a Canadian pardon — just admitting to having consumed the drug in the past is grounds to be barred from the U.S."We hope the word is out, the education, [we're] making sure the travelling public knows that U.S. federal law has not changed in terms of marijuana. It's still a controlled substance. You may be inadmissible if you have ties to that," Owen said.While some U.S. states have dismantled prohibition — including Washington, a border state — cannabis possession remains a criminal offence federally. And the U.S. border is governed by federal law.Don't be 'less than truthful'-The U.S. CBP is privy to a traveller's criminal past in Canada — this information is recorded in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database — and the agency is warning all foreigners that a drug-related criminal history is grounds for denial of entry to the U.S.A person could apply for a waiver — a potentially lengthy and costly process that, even if successful, makes cross-border travel much more difficult.Owen said anyone who has ever consumed the drug in the past, is an "addict" and/or a drug abuser, could be deemed inadmissible. Border guards, Owen said, are generally trying to prevent someone who has a proclivity for consuming cannabis from doing so on American soil.Under U.S. law, even a traveller who admits to having smoked cannabis casually in the past could be denied entry. For American border guards, a confession is just as good as a conviction.Owen did not make it clear how CBP would deal with someone who has sought, and received, a record suspension — a pardon — from the Canadian federal government, as a pardon usually ensures an individual's criminal past is removed from the CPIC database.CBC News has asked for clarity and will update this story accordingly.Regardless, Owen stressed that all Canadians should be completely truthful with border guards when crossing south — especially about their criminal history — or risk being banned from the U.S. for life."You definitely don't want to be less than truthful when you're being interviewed by a CBP officer," Owen said.Moreover, Owen said those found at the border with cannabis on their person, or in their car, could face arrest and prosecution by U.S. officials.Conversely, it is illegal for a person travelling to Canada to bring cannabis with them across the border, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) has said.A government official, speaking on background to CBC News Tuesday, said all CBSA guards will now be required to ask each and every traveller about cannabis possession at the border, and a question about cannabis use will be added to the declaration forms travellers fill out when entering Canada by air.Cannabis investors are warned-Owen also sought to clarify the U.S. agency's position on a Canadian who is an owner of, or an investor in, a cannabis-related business.He said, for example, that someone who holds an interest in a cannabis company through a mutual fund or a pension plan fund, or through some other indirect means, likely will not face greater scrutiny at the border.But he said an owner or major investor linked to a cannabis company, travelling to the U.S. on cannabis-related business, likely would be denied entry."If a Canadian is knowingly engaged, and invested, in the marijuana industry and is going to the U.S. for that specific purpose — to facilitate the industry — they would be found inadmissible."If a Canadian is working in the legalized business and coming to the U.S. for a different intent — they're coming to go shopping or do some other recreational activity — they could be found admissible.
Jubilant customers light up as pot sales begin in Canada-[Associated Press]-ROB GILLIES, GENE JOHNSON and TRACEY LINDEMAN-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
MONTREAL (AP) — Jubilant customers stood in long lines for hours then lit up and celebrated on sidewalks Wednesday as Canada became the world's largest legal marijuana marketplace.In Toronto, people smoked joints as soon as they rolled out of bed in a big "wake and bake" celebration. In Alberta, a government website that sells pot crashed when too many people tried to place orders.And in Montreal, Graeme Campbell welcomed the day he could easily buy all the pot he wanted.In the past, it was "hard to find people to sell to me because I look like a cop," the clean-cut, 43-year-old computer programmer said outside a newly opened pot store.He and his friend Alex Lacrosse were smoking when two police officers walked by. "I passed you a joint right in front of them and they didn't even bat an eye," Lacrosse told his friend.Festivities erupted throughout the nation as Canada became the largest country on the planet with legal marijuana sales. At least 111 pot shops were expected to open Wednesday across the nation of 37 million people, with many more to come, according to an Associated Press survey of the provinces. Uruguay was the first country to legalize marijuana.Ian Power was first in line at a store in St. John's, Newfoundland but didn't plan to smoke the one gram he bought after midnight."I am going to frame it and hang it on my wall," the 46-year-old Power said. "I'm going to save it forever."Tom Clarke, an illegal pot dealer for three decades, opened a pot store in Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, and made his first sale to his dad. He was cheered by the crowd waiting in line."This is awesome. I've been waiting my whole life for this," Clarke said. "I am so happy to be living in Canada right now instead of south of the border."By afternoon, Clarke had sold his entire cannabis supply and had to turn away customers.The start of legal sales wasn't the only good news for pot aficionados. Canada said it intends to pardon everyone with convictions for possessing up to 30 grams of marijuana, the newly legal threshold."I don't need to be a criminal anymore, and that's a great feeling," singer Ashley MacIsaac said outside a government run shop in Nova Scotia. "And my new dealer is the prime minister!"Medical marijuana has been legal since 2001 in Canada, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has spent the past two years working toward legalizing recreational pot to better reflect society's changing opinion about marijuana and to bring black market operators into a regulated system.Corey Stone and a friend got to one of the 12 stores that opened in Quebec at 3:45 a.m. to be among the first to buy pot. Hundreds later lined up."It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing — you're never ever going to be one of the first people able to buy legal recreational cannabis in Canada ever again," said Stone, a 32-year restaurant and bar manager.The stores have a sterile look, like a modern clinic, with a security desk to check identification. The products are displayed in plastic or cardboard packages behind counters. Buyers can't touch or smell the products before they buy. A small team of employees answer questions but don't make recommendations."It's a candy store, I like the experience," said Vincent Desjardins, a 20-year-old-student who plans to apply for a job at the Montreal shop.Canadians can also order marijuana products through websites run by provinces or private retailers and have it delivered to their home by mail.At 12:07 a.m., the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission tweeted: "You like us! Our website is experiencing some heavy traffic. We are working hard to get it up and running."Alberta and Quebec have set the minimum age for purchase at 18, while other provinces have made it 19. Rules vary in different jurisdictions about whether people can smoke pot outside.Fire and Flower Chief Executive Trevor Fencott brought his wife and three children — 16, 13 and 6 — for the opening of a company pot shop in Edmonton, even though the law forbid his children from going inside."Legalization is about daylighting a lot of stuff that used to be in the shadows," he said. "Our kids are going to inherit this system, for better or worse, and I thought it was important for them to see this sea change in Canadian society."No stores will open in Ontario, which includes Toronto. The nation's most populous province is working on its regulations and doesn't expect stores to operate until spring. The Pacific Coast province of British Columbia has just one store open, but it's not in Vancouver, one of Canada's largest cities.A patchwork of regulations has spread in Canada as each province takes its own approach within the framework established by the federal government. Some provinces have government-run stores, others allow private retailers, and some have both.Canada's national approach allows unfettered banking for the pot industry, inter-province shipments of cannabis and billions of dollars in investment — a sharp contrast with prohibitions in the United States, where nine states have legalized recreational sales of pot and more than 30 have approved medical marijuana.Many Americans are likely to cross into Canada to buy and use pot, but they can't take it back. U.S. border authorities have issued reminders that travelers could face arrest if caught with it.Bruce Linton, CEO of marijuana producer and retailer Canopy Growth, claims he made the first sale in Canada — less than a second after midnight in Newfoundland."It was extremely emotional," he said. "Several people who work for us have been working on this for their entire adult life and several of them were in tears."Cam Battley, chief corporate officer of Aurora Cannabis, also one of Canada's largest cannabis companies, said it's not every day you get to be involved in the start of a new industry."The world trusts Canada to be a leader in this," he said. "We're not known as wild and crazy. We're known for good public policy and I think they will follow our lead."___Rob Gillies reported from Toronto. Tracey Lindeman reported from Montreal.

China says interning Muslims brings them into 'modern' world-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
BEIJING — China on Tuesday characterized its mass internment of Muslims as a push to bring into the "modern, civilized" world a destitute people who are easily led astray — a depiction that analysts said bore troubling colonial overtones.The report is the ruling Communist Party's latest effort to defend its extrajudicial detention of Central Asian Muslim minorities against mounting criticism.China's resistance to Western pressure over the camps highlights its growing confidence under President Xi Jinping, who has offered Beijing's authoritarian system as a model for other countries.About 1 million Uighurs, Kazakhs and other minorities have been arbitrarily detained in mass internment camps in China's far west Xinjiang region, according to estimates by a U.N. panel. Former detainees say they were forced to disavow their Islamic beliefs in the camps, while children of detainees are being placed in dozens of orphanages across the region.The report by the official Xinhua News Agency indicated that key to the party's vision in Xinjiang is the assimilation of the indigenous Central Asian ethnic minorities into Han Chinese society — and in turn, a "modern" lifestyle.Xinjiang Gov. Shohrat Zakir said the authorities were providing people with lessons on Mandarin, Chinese history and laws. Such training would steer them away from extremism and onto the path toward a "modern life" in which they would feel "confident about the future," he said."It's become a general trend for them to expect and pursue a modern, civilized life," Zakir said, referring to the trainees. He said the measures are part of a broader policy to build a "foundation for completely solving the deeply-rooted problems" in the region.China has long viewed the country's ethnic minorities as backward, said James Leibold an expert on Chinese ethnic polices at Melbourne's La Trobe University.Leibold described Beijing's perspective on minorities as: "They're superstitious, they're deviant, they're potentially dangerous. The role of the party-state is to bring them into the light of civilization, to transform them."Despite growing alarm from the U.S. and the United Nations, China has maintained that Xinjiang's vast dragnet of police surveillance is necessary for countering latent extremism and preserving stability.The Turkic-speaking Uighurs (pronounced WEE-gurs) have long resented restrictions placed on their religious practices. They say they experience widespread discrimination in jobs and access to passports.In the Xinhua report, Zakir said authorities provide free vocational training in skills geared toward manufacturing, food and service industries. Zakir said "trainees" are paid a basic income during the training, in which free food and accommodations are provided.The report appeared aimed at disputing accounts provided by former detainees, who have said they were held in political indoctrination camps where they were forced to denounce Islam and profess loyalty to the party.Ethnic Uighurs and Kazakhs have told The Associated Press that ostensibly innocuous acts such as praying regularly, viewing a foreign website or taking phone calls from relatives abroad could land one in a camp.Zakir said the training centres were for people "who are influenced by terrorism and extremism, and those suspected of minor criminal offences " who could be exempted from criminal punishment.Zakir did not say whether such individuals were ever formally charged with any crime or provided a chance to defend themselves against the allegations. The report also did not say if attendance was mandatory, though former detainees have said they were forcibly held in centres policed by armed guards.Maya Wang, senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch, said the system deprived detainees of basic legal protections such as access to lawyers.The authorities' attempts to justify the camps "illustrate what the 'rule of law' in China means — that the party bends it to its will and uses it as a weapon against perceived political enemies," Wang said in an email.Zakir did not say how many people were in such courses, but said some would be able to complete their courses this year.Zakir seemed to try to counter reports of poor living conditions within the camps, saying that "trainees" were immersed in athletic and cultural activities. The centres ' cafeterias provide "nutritious, free diets," and dormitories are fully equipped with TVs, air conditioning and showers, he said.Omir Bekali, a Xinjiang-born Kazakh citizen, said he was kept in a cell with 40 people inside a heavily guarded facility.Bekali said he was kept in a locked room with eight other internees. They shared beds and a wretched toilet. Baths were rare.Before meals, they were told to chant "Thank the party! Thank the motherland!" During daily mandatory classes, they were told that their people were backward before being "liberated" by the party in the 1950s.The idea that one's beliefs can be transformed through indoctrination dates back to the Mao Zedong era, when self-criticisms and public humiliation were routinely employed to stir up ideological fervour .The program's philosophies can be traced even further back to the late imperial era, when Xinjiang's "natives" were seen as requiring education in the Confucian way, according to Michael Clarke, a Xinjiang expert at Australian National University.Amnesty International called the Xinhua report an insult to detainees and the families of people who have gone missing in the crackdown."No amount of spin can hide the fact that the Chinese authorities are undertaking a campaign of systematic repression," the human rights group said.Yanan Wang, The Associated Press.
Waive wireless bills for some Hurricane Michael victims: U.S. FCC chief-[Reuters]-By David Shepardson-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on Tuesday called for wireless carriers to waive October bills for people hardest hit by Hurricane Michael after some Florida residents expressed frustration in getting mobile phone service restored.Pai also said consumers in those areas should be allowed to switch carriers without paying a penalty.Verizon Communications Inc, which has been criticized for the pace of its restoration efforts, said late on Tuesday that all consumer and business customers in hard hit Bay County and Gulf County, Florida, would be automatically credited for three months of mobile service for each line they have.At least 18 deaths in four states have been blamed on Michael, which crashed into the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 10 as one of the most powerful storms on record to hit the continental United States. The storm damaged fiber networks and electrical wires necessary for broadband and mobile phone service.Pai said in a written statement the progress in restoring service is "completely unacceptable" and that the FCC will investigate the outages.The request from the chair of the nation's telecommunications regulator came after Florida Governor Rick Scott, who is locked in a tough race for the U.S. Senate, earlier on Tuesday called on carriers to waive bills for customers without service and allow consumers to change carriers without penalty.Verizon has attributed the delay in part to significant damage to fiber connections in Florida's Panhandle and the strength of the storm.On Tuesday, the FCC said that 61.5 percent of cell sites remain out of service in Bay County, down from 65.4 percent on Monday.Scott said "telecommunications companies should be open and transparent with Floridians and do so with a clearly communicated plan to quickly restore service."U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat running for re-election against Scott, earlier on Tuesday asked carriers to "provide a 60-day moratorium on late fees, interest accrual, penalties and any other unnecessary costs to give people time to recover and get back on their feet."In a letter to Verizon on Tuesday, Nelson said "too many of your Florida customers in the Panhandle are still not able to use your network. This is not acceptable, especially when your competitors have been restoring service much faster."AT&T Inc spokesman Michael Balmoris said the company has implemented credits for customers in hard-hit areas and plans to extend those credits through Oct. 21. AT&T plans to continue those "as conditions require."AT&T has deployed 15 large-scale portable cell sites to the most storm damaged areas.(Reporting by David Shepardson in Washington; Editing by Leslie Adler and Matthew Lewis)

We can hit Gaza harder, general warns as leaders meet on flareup-Following overnight rocket attack, head of IDF’s Southern Command warns Hamas that Israel ready ‘to respond more forcefully’ in future-By TOI staff and Judah Ari Gross-17 October 2018
A top Israeli general said Wednesday the military hit Hamas hard and would step up attacks in the future, as top political leaders and army brass met in Jerusalem to discuss how to deal with a surge in fighting with Gaza.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the high-level security cabinet Wednesday evening, after rocket fire from the Gaza Strip overnight and Israeli retaliatory strikes raised the possibility of a large-scale military conflict in the Palestinian enclave.IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, who cut short a trip to the United States due to the fresh violence in Gaza, went directly to the security cabinet session after landing in Israel, Hadashot TV news reported.As the security cabinet convened, Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the head of the Israel Defense Forces Southern Command, warned the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group that Israel will “know how to respond more forcefully for situations in the future.”In response to the launching of two rockets from Gaza, one of which hit a home in the southern city of Beersheba, the Israeli Air Force conducted strikes against some 20 targets in the Gaza Strip, including a border-crossing tunnel.In a video, Halevi said the army conducted “significant strikes against Hamas weapons manufacturing facilities, headquarters, posts and underground infrastructure. Everything that was attacked, was destroyed. It will be difficult for them to rebuild, to bring in the money (to pay for reconstruction).”The general also accused the terror group of deceiving the Strip’s population.“Hamas pretends to rule Gaza, tells Gaza residents that it’s trying to improve their lives. But in reality, the riots on the fence, the improvised explosive device, the explosive balloons, the incendiary balloons and, as we’ve seen tonight, rockets make the lives of Gaza Strip worse,” he said.Halevi’s warning to Hamas came hours after Netanyahu vowed Israel would “act forcefully” in response to violence from Gaza. The comment came as the prime minister met with top security officials at the headquarters of the IDF’s Gaza Division for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already-high border tensions skyrocketing.In the Strip, Hamas members reportedly evacuated posts out of fears of fresh airstrikes overnight and the terror group’s leadership had gone into hiding.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.Reports Wednesday said that Abbas Kamel, head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Services, had cancelled a trip to Gaza, the West Bank and Israel set for Thursday amid the tensions surrounding Gaza.Hamas and the second largest terror group in the Strip, the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad, officially denied carrying out the rocket attack, saying it was “irresponsible” and undermined an Egyptian-led negotiation effort.Israeli officials rejected the claim, saying only Hamas and Islamic Jihad had the capability of shooting rockets that could reach Beersheba.There were no injuries in Wednesday’s attack, despite the rocket scoring a direct hit on a home, after mother Miri Tamano managed to drag her three sons into a reinforced bomb shelter seconds before the strike.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war. The previous rocket, which struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9, came as Palestinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gaza border.Rocket attacks on Beersheba — home to more than 200,000 people — are rare and considered a major escalation.Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan said an Iron Dome anti-missile battery would be deployed in the Beersheba area in the wake of the attack, a possible signal Israel expects hostilities with Gaza to continue despite the tentative calm that had taken hold by Wednesday afternoon.Since March 30, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have participated in a series of protests and riots dubbed the “Great March of Return,” which have mostly involved the burning of tires and rock-throwing along the security fence, but have also seen shooting attacks and bombings as well as the sending of incendiary balloons and kites into Israel.There have also been several flareups that took Israel and Hamas to the brink of war, with Palestinians firing rockets into Israel and the IDF responding with airstrikes.Some 155 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the clashes with IDF troops, according to AP figures; Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of the dead were its members. One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a sniper on the border.
US peace envoy says Gaza rocket attack ‘sets back’ humanitarian efforts-Jason Greenblatt condemns fire from Palestinian enclave overnight, notes resulting closure of schools in Beersheba-By TOI staff-17 October 2018
US President Donald Trump’s envoy for Middle East peace condemned the firing of rockets Wednesday from the Gaza Strip toward Israel, accusing the coastal enclave’s Hamas rulers of undermining humanitarian efforts in the Palestinian territory.One of the rockets launched overnight struck a home in Beersheba, leading to the closure of schools in the southern city, while the other landed off the coast of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. The Israel Defense Forces said it struck some 20 targets in Gaza in response to the rocket fire.“This morning schools across Beer Sheva, Israel were closed because of rocket attacks from Gaza,” Jason Greenblatt wrote on Twitter.“Once again, the regime in Gaza sets back the world’s efforts to better the lives of Palestinians in Gaza and endangers & harms Israelis,” he added.No group in Gaza has claimed the rocket attack. Hamas, which rules the Strip, and fellow terror organization Islamic Jihad issued a statement denying they were behind it. Israel said it holds Hamas responsible as the enclave’s ruler while officials noted only Hamas and Islamic Jihad had the capability of shooting rockets that could reach Beersheba.Greenblatt’s condemnation came after the European Union Wednesday said that rocket fire toward Israel must stop immediately.An EU spokesperson said in a statement that “indiscriminate attacks against civilians are completely unacceptable.”The European body also called for calm after Israel struck back with some 20 airstrikes in the Strip, saying that de-escalation has to be the priority.“The cycle of violence and despair has to be broken. Only a political solution can put an end to the violence,” the statement read.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to the rocket attack, as a shaky calm appeared to return to the area. The comments came after the prime minister met with top security officials for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already high border tensions skyrocketing.He later convened a meeting of the high-level security cabinet to discuss the security situation in the south, as the head of the IDF’s Southern Command warned Hamas that Israel could respond more forcefully the next time.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.Reports Wednesday said that Abbas Kamel, head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Services, had cancelled a trip to Gaza, the West Bank and Israel set for Thursday amid the tensions surrounding Gaza.There were no injuries in Wednesday’s attack, despite the rocket scoring a direct hit on a home, after mother Miri Tamano managed to drag her three sons into a reinforced bomb shelter seconds before the strike.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war.

Beersheba says no decision yet on reopening schools as tense night sets in-Many residents of south prepare to sleep in bomb shelters overnight in wake of Gaza flareup that saw rocket land direct hit on home-By TOI staff Today, 12:37 am 0
The Beersheba Municipality said that it had still not decided whether schools there would remain closed on Thursday for a second straight day due to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip that struck a home in the southern city early Wednesday morning.It said a decision, that would be made based on developing events, was expected by Thursday morning.The Wednesday evening announcement from the municipality came as residents of southern Israel braced for a tense night following Wednesday’s violence, with many planning to sleep in bomb-proof rooms despite the tentative calm that appeared to have taken hold.“I think this night we’ll spend sleeping in the protected room. Despite the quiet today, it isn’t nice to admit there is no other choice,” Yifat Ben Shoshan, a resident of the Gaza area, told the Walla news site.She called on the military to use “any solution” to return to the status quo that prevailed in the south prior to the start of border clashes in March that have seen a number of flareups between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, as well as the near daily launching of airborne incendiary objects at Israeli forests and farmland.“This is what our daily routine looks like,” Kibbutz Dorot resident Orli Kabuly told Ynet. “Explosions with explanations that aren’t convincing, fields and forests going up in flames, plumes of smoke in the background from [burning] tires and fires, children and adults with post trauma and work as usual.”As residents of the south prepared for the possibility of further violence overnight, the high-level security cabinet continued to meet into the early hours Thursday to discuss the security situation in Gaza.Earlier Wednesday, Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan said that the Iron Dome anti-rocket system would soon be deployed to the Beersheba area.“An Iron Dome battery will be set up in the Beersheba area in the coming days, perhaps even tonight,” Ben Dahan said in the Knesset in response to a question about the IDF Home Front Command’s preparedness for war in the south.The Israel Defense Forces would not confirm Wednesday night whether the battery had yet been deployed. The placement of the anti-rocket system near the city might signal Israel expects hostilities with Gaza to continue.Ben Dahan’s statement came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with top defense officials at the military’s Gaza Division headquarters for a security assessment following the flareup, warning that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to violence from the Palestinian enclave.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.In the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, a mid-range rocket from the Gaza Strip bearing a heavy 20 kilogram (44 pound) warhead struck a house in Beersheba, causing significant damage to the structure.The residents were spared injury as they had rushed into their bomb shelter after the incoming rocket siren sounded in the city.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war. The previous rocket, which struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9, came as Palestinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gaza border.In response, the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes on some 20 targets in the Strip connected to the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group and other organizations in the coastal enclave.A second rocket fired from Gaza Wednesday morning crashed into the sea off the coast of greater Tel Aviv area, known in Israel as Gush Dan. The military would only confirm that it struck “off the coast of a large city.”There was no word if an Iron Dome was or would be deployed in the Tel Aviv region.
EU says rocket fire toward Israel ‘completely unacceptable’-European body says the firing of missiles from Gaza must stop immediately, and that only a political solution can bring an end to ‘the cycle of violence and despair’-By TOI staff and Judah Ari Gross-17 October 2018
The European Union on Wednesday said that rocket fire toward Israel must stop immediately after a predawn missile attack struck a home in the southern city of Beersheba, causing damage but no injury.A second rocket fired from Gaza landed off the coast of the greater Tel Aviv area, known in Israel as Gush Dan, which consists of the metropolis itself along with a number of large suburbs.An EU spokesperson said in a statement that “indiscriminate attacks against civilians are completely unacceptable.”The European body also called for calm after Israel struck back with some 20 airstrikes in the Strip, saying that de-escalation has to be the priority.“The cycle of violence and despair has to be broken. Only a political solution can put an end to the violence,” the statement read.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would “act forcefully” in response to the rocket attack, as a shaky calm appeared to return to the area.The comments came after the prime minister met with top security officials for emergency consultations over the flareup, which sent already high border tensions skyrocketing.Egypt and the UN have reportedly scrambled to try to negotiate a calm between the sides since the rocket attack on Beersheba, which came days after Israeli leaders had already threatened a wider offensive over near-daily border riots and launches of incendiary balloons and kites.In the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, a mid-range rocket from the Gaza Strip bearing a heavy 20-kilogram (44-pound) warhead struck a house in the southern city of Beersheba, causing significant damage to the structure.The residents were spared injury as they had rushed into their bomb shelter after the incoming rocket siren sounded in the city. The Iron Dome air defense system will be deployed to the area “shortly,” the deputy defense minister said.“An Iron Dome battery will be set up in the Beersheba area in the coming days, perhaps even tonight,” Eli Ben Dahan told the Knesset.In response, the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes on some 20 targets in the Strip connected to the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group and other organizations in the coastal enclave.Hamas and the second largest terror group in the Strip, the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad, officially denied carrying out the rocket attack, saying it was “irresponsible” and undermined an Egyptian-led negotiation effort.Hamas, which seeks to destroy Israel, wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Abbas’s Palestinian Authority in 2007. Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks that come out of the Gaza Strip.Abbas, who is demanding a resumption of control of the territory, has been working to undermine Hamas’s government in Gaza, and in recent months has levied severe sanctions on the Strip, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there.On Tuesday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned that the military was gearing up for a major strike on Gaza to stop ongoing violence.“I’ve held a series of meetings with the head of the Southern Command, the head of the [Gaza] Division, the brigade commanders, the battalion commanders, also with soldiers. My impression is that they all have reached the understanding that the situation as it is today cannot continue,” he said.Beersheba Mayor Ruvik Danilovich on Wednesday criticized the government for not bringing calm to the south.“This is an impossible situation,” he told Hadashot TV news. “In general, what has been going on in the Negev and the south in recent months is an unbearable situation… and we call on the government to put an end to it. It is impossible to live in a situation like this, no one is eager for a fight, but if this is repeated, something must be done.”Earlier Danilovich canceled all school studies in the city until further notice.It was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gaza war. The previous rocket, which struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9, came as Palestinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gaza border.Rocket attacks on Beersheba — home to more than 200,000 people — are rare and considered a major escalation.A second rocket fired from Gaza Wednesday morning fell out at sea across from the greater Tel Aviv area. The military would only confirm that it struck “off the coast of a large city.”Since March 30, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have participated in a series of protests and riots dubbed the “Great March of Return,” which have mostly involved the burning of tires and rock-throwing along the security fence, but have also seen shooting attacks and bombings as well as the sending of incendiary balloons and kites into Israel.There have also been several flareups that took Israel and Hamas to the brink of war, with Palestinians firing rockets into Israel and the IDF responding with airstrikes.Some 155 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the clashes with IDF troops, according to AP figures; Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of the dead were its members. One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a sniper on the border.
Kushner shielded from reporter on plane trying to ask about Khashoggi-Bodyguard tells CBS reporter there’s ‘time and a place’ for questions and ‘I don’t give a damn who you are’; Secret Service says it is reviewing the incident-By Agencies and TOI staff-17 October 2018
CBS News says a Secret Service agent blocked one of its correspondents from asking Jared Kushner a question when he was walking out of an airplane, saying there was a “time and a place” for such interactions.A network spokeswoman said Wednesday that reporter Errol Barnett happened to be on the same Washington to New York flight as the presidential son-in-law. CBS said he showed a press credential and attempted to ask a question about Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi.A short video posted online showed what appeared to be an agent saying, “I don’t give a damn who you are.”The Secret Service said it was reviewing the incident and that appropriate action would be taken depending on what its investigation shows.Jared Kushner did not answer my question and the secret service informs me, while obscuring my phone, that despite identifying as WH press, there is a “time and a place” for questions.It is unclear when and where that is. pic.twitter.com/KRzlj3hrqw— errol barnett (@errolbarnett) October 16, 2018-“I waited until everyone in front of me had deplaned and as Jared Kushner approached and the Secret Service were lining the aisle, I took out my camera. I had my CBS press pass on, I had my White House press pass as well which, as you all know, this is vetted by the Secret Service. So if the Secret Service sees this, they know you’re legit.” Barnett told his outlet.“The camera was rolling and the Secret Service agent kind of ran interference, put his hand over my phone, over the camera.”Kushner is thought to have cultivated a close relationship with Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.He has given few interviews or public statements and has avoided the press on other occasions.Hey, it’s Jared. I’m outside. Can someone let me in? … Jared KUSHNER, the president’s son-in-law … I’m here for the NAFTA negotiations … Can someone unlock the door? … There are reporters out here asking me about the op-ed, & it’s getting awkward. pic.twitter.com/in0FHsTtIr— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) September 7, 2018-Saudi Arabia, a key US ally in the Mideast, is under pressure to explain what happened to Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributor living in the US who had been critical of the crown prince. Turkish officials have said he was murdered, and the Turkish newspaper’s report said an audio recording revealed gory details about Khashoggi’s demise inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.US President Donald Trump has repeated denials by the Saudi king and crown prince that they knew anything about Khashoggi’s fate, and he has warned of a rush to judgment.
Israel and US postal services issue joint Hanukkah stamp-Communications Minister Ayoub Kara and US Ambassador David Friedman attend commemorative launch, which also marks 70 years since the two countries established diplomatic relations-By JTA and TOI staff-17 October 2018
Israel Post and the US Postal Service have issued a joint stamp for Hanukkah on Tuesday, which also celebrates 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United States.The new stamp design was launched simultaneously in the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, the oldest synagogue in the United States, and at the American Center in Jerusalem.“Today’s joint stamp issue is a symbol of the shared values and the cultural affinity between the United States and Israel,” US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said at the Jerusalem ceremony.Communications Minister Ayoub Kara was also in attendance, along with the Israeli Postal Company Chairman Hezi Zaieg and the CEO of the Israeli Postal Company Danny Goldstein.Postal Service Judicial Officer Gary Shapiro said in Rhode Island: “Starting today, this work of art celebrating the Jewish Festival of Lights will travel on millions of letters and packages, throughout America and around the world.”The stamp art features a Hanukkah menorah created using the technique of papercutting, a Jewish folk art, by artist Tamar Fishman. Behind the menorah is a shape that resembles an ancient oil jug representing the miracle of the oil that burned in the candelabra in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after its sacking and recapture for the eight days necessary to resupply. Additional design elements include dreidels and a pomegranate plant with fruit and flowers.The stamp is being issued in the United States as a Forever stamp, which will always be equal in value to the current first class mail one-ounce price. It will sell in Israel for 8.30 shekels, the cost of a regular first-class stamp. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Dec. 2.The first joint US-Israel Hanukkah postal stamp was issued in 1996.

First legal weed sold in Canada at Newfoundland shops-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 16, 2018
The first legal recreational cannabis has officially been sold in Canada.In Newfoundland and parts of Labrador, which has a separate timezone from the rest of Canada, midnight comes earlier, and people were ready and waiting for marijuana to be sold to them over the counter.The first sales went to Ian Power and Nikki Rose, who lined up outside awaiting the opening of the Tweed retail location on Water Street in downtown St. John's.The lineup at the Tweed store started at around 8 p.m. NT, and steadily grew as the time ticked down to 12 a.m.Ian Power lined up at 8 p.m. so he could "make history.""It's been my dream to be the first person to buy the first legal gram of cannabis in Canada, and here I finally am," Power said."I'm elated. I'm so excited, I can't stop smiling. I'm not cold. It's freezing cold out, but I'm not cold."Marijuana became legal across Canada as of Oct. 17, months later than the original target date set out by the federal government. The Senate passed the bill earlier this year, making Canada only the second country to legalize cannabis.Tweed opened its doors just before midnight so customers could start filing in, amid a crowd of media, to line up to buy their first legal bud."When's the last time you bought a gram and got a receipt for it? Never happened," said Canopy CEO Bruce Linton to his first customers, Power and Rose, as they stood in the front of the line for sales to officially start."For me it just proves that Canadians are open to this, they're ready for this. It's not like, 'Oh my God look at that sketchy character,'" Linton told CBC News after ringing in the first sale.Linton added that at the company's headquarters in Smiths Falls, Ont., he was approached by a 102-year-old woman who was curious about cannabis products."Everybody wants to understand it," Linton said. "They don't like ignoring it."Scrapping the stigma-Meanwhile, Power, who said he has advocated for cannabis users and patients for years, said he's hopeful legalization will help eliminate what he calls stigma around the substance."I think the social stigma of the 'stupid stoner' or the criminal element for using cannabis, a benign substance, as my choice of medicine or recreation, I think that's gonna change," Power said."Cannabis is in all walks of life. People who are unemployed, to the lawyers and judges in the country, so why not?"Last week, the Newfoundland and Labrador government announced that as of 12:01 a.m., marijuana would be able to be sold.The NLC, the Crown regulatory agency, then said retailers would be allowed to operate from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m., meaning there's a two-hour window at the very start of Oct. 17 when marijuana can be purchased.Canopy Growth, one of Canada's largest cannabis companies, officially opened its Tweed store at 11:30 p.m.Linton nearly missed the first legal sale due to high winds Tuesday that delayed his flight, but he was able to land to be on hand to sell the country's first legal weed.There are a number of other retailers, like THC Distribution in Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, just outside of St. John's, where owners are also opening for midnight sales.Owner Thomas H. Clarke said he's "living the dream" opening a pot store at home, but worries that he might be out of product by Friday.His first customer was his father, Don, while a crowd of about 100 people waited outside in line on a chilly and windy night to make their first legal purchases."It's awesome," said Don Clarke, about buying from his son's shop.He said it feels "unbelievable" to be able to purchase marijuana legally, after being a user for 50 years."A bit late. I mean, we could have done this in 1969 or '71," he said."It's been discussed at length — to overkill."While the supply may be limited when sales start up, Clarke said there will be a wider selection available as time passes and more items hit the market.Other shops also had lines outside their doors once midnight hit, with people scurrying to get in and make their legal purchases of marijuana before the mandatory closure at 2 a.m.Each province sets its own marijuana regulations, including at what age people can purchase it, locations, quantity limits and smoking locations.
U.S. border patrol warns 'amnesty' for pot convictions doesn't guarantee entry-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
A senior U.S. border patrol official is warning travellers that cannabis remains an illegal narcotic in the U.S. despite Canada's legalization — and even if you've been granted amnesty for a previous pot-related criminal conviction, you could still be denied entry to the United States.The statement comes as Ottawa readies a plan to allow people to apply for a pardon for minor pot-related convictions. A person with a criminal history typically seeks a pardon to make it easier to rent an apartment, apply for a mortgage, get a job or volunteer, or cross the Canada-U.S. border.Federal Liberal cabinet ministers are expected to unveil details of the pardon plan tomorrow — Oct. 17 — when cannabis for recreational purposes becomes officially legal in Canada."Really, we don't recognize the Canadian amnesty. If you've been the subject of a violation of U.S. laws, that will still make you inadmissible to our country," Todd Owen, the assistant commissioner of field operations at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), said in a teleconference with reporters Tuesday.Owen said it doesn't matter whether someone has received a Canadian pardon — just admitting to having consumed the drug in the past is grounds to be barred from the U.S."We hope the word is out, the education, [we're] making sure the travelling public knows that U.S. federal law has not changed in terms of marijuana. It's still a controlled substance. You may be inadmissible if you have ties to that," Owen said.While some U.S. states have dismantled prohibition — including Washington, a border state — cannabis possession remains a criminal offence federally. And the U.S. border is governed by federal law.Don't be 'less than truthful'-The U.S. CBP is privy to a traveller's criminal past in Canada — this information is recorded in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database — and the agency is warning all foreigners that a drug-related criminal history is grounds for denial of entry to the U.S.A person could apply for a waiver — a potentially lengthy and costly process that, even if successful, makes cross-border travel much more difficult.Owen said anyone who has ever consumed the drug in the past, is an "addict" and/or a drug abuser, could be deemed inadmissible. Border guards, Owen said, are generally trying to prevent someone who has a proclivity for consuming cannabis from doing so on American soil.Under U.S. law, even a traveller who admits to having smoked cannabis casually in the past could be denied entry. For American border guards, a confession is just as good as a conviction.Owen did not make it clear how CBP would deal with someone who has sought, and received, a record suspension — a pardon — from the Canadian federal government, as a pardon usually ensures an individual's criminal past is removed from the CPIC database.CBC News has asked for clarity and will update this story accordingly.Regardless, Owen stressed that all Canadians should be completely truthful with border guards when crossing south — especially about their criminal history — or risk being banned from the U.S. for life."You definitely don't want to be less than truthful when you're being interviewed by a CBP officer," Owen said.Moreover, Owen said those found at the border with cannabis on their person, or in their car, could face arrest and prosecution by U.S. officials.Conversely, it is illegal for a person travelling to Canada to bring cannabis with them across the border, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) has said.A government official, speaking on background to CBC News Tuesday, said all CBSA guards will now be required to ask each and every traveller about cannabis possession at the border, and a question about cannabis use will be added to the declaration forms travellers fill out when entering Canada by air.Cannabis investors are warned-Owen also sought to clarify the U.S. agency's position on a Canadian who is an owner of, or an investor in, a cannabis-related business.He said, for example, that someone who holds an interest in a cannabis company through a mutual fund or a pension plan fund, or through some other indirect means, likely will not face greater scrutiny at the border.But he said an owner or major investor linked to a cannabis company, travelling to the U.S. on cannabis-related business, likely would be denied entry."If a Canadian is knowingly engaged, and invested, in the marijuana industry and is going to the U.S. for that specific purpose — to facilitate the industry — they would be found inadmissible."If a Canadian is working in the legalized business and coming to the U.S. for a different intent — they're coming to go shopping or do some other recreational activity — they could be found admissible.
Jubilant customers light up as pot sales begin in Canada-[Associated Press]-ROB GILLIES, GENE JOHNSON and TRACEY LINDEMAN-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
MONTREAL (AP) — Jubilant customers stood in long lines for hours then lit up and celebrated on sidewalks Wednesday as Canada became the world's largest legal marijuana marketplace.In Toronto, people smoked joints as soon as they rolled out of bed in a big "wake and bake" celebration. In Alberta, a government website that sells pot crashed when too many people tried to place orders.And in Montreal, Graeme Campbell welcomed the day he could easily buy all the pot he wanted.In the past, it was "hard to find people to sell to me because I look like a cop," the clean-cut, 43-year-old computer programmer said outside a newly opened pot store.He and his friend Alex Lacrosse were smoking when two police officers walked by. "I passed you a joint right in front of them and they didn't even bat an eye," Lacrosse told his friend.Festivities erupted throughout the nation as Canada became the largest country on the planet with legal marijuana sales. At least 111 pot shops were expected to open Wednesday across the nation of 37 million people, with many more to come, according to an Associated Press survey of the provinces. Uruguay was the first country to legalize marijuana.Ian Power was first in line at a store in St. John's, Newfoundland but didn't plan to smoke the one gram he bought after midnight."I am going to frame it and hang it on my wall," the 46-year-old Power said. "I'm going to save it forever."Tom Clarke, an illegal pot dealer for three decades, opened a pot store in Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, and made his first sale to his dad. He was cheered by the crowd waiting in line."This is awesome. I've been waiting my whole life for this," Clarke said. "I am so happy to be living in Canada right now instead of south of the border."By afternoon, Clarke had sold his entire cannabis supply and had to turn away customers.The start of legal sales wasn't the only good news for pot aficionados. Canada said it intends to pardon everyone with convictions for possessing up to 30 grams of marijuana, the newly legal threshold."I don't need to be a criminal anymore, and that's a great feeling," singer Ashley MacIsaac said outside a government run shop in Nova Scotia. "And my new dealer is the prime minister!"Medical marijuana has been legal since 2001 in Canada, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has spent the past two years working toward legalizing recreational pot to better reflect society's changing opinion about marijuana and to bring black market operators into a regulated system.Corey Stone and a friend got to one of the 12 stores that opened in Quebec at 3:45 a.m. to be among the first to buy pot. Hundreds later lined up."It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing — you're never ever going to be one of the first people able to buy legal recreational cannabis in Canada ever again," said Stone, a 32-year restaurant and bar manager.The stores have a sterile look, like a modern clinic, with a security desk to check identification. The products are displayed in plastic or cardboard packages behind counters. Buyers can't touch or smell the products before they buy. A small team of employees answer questions but don't make recommendations."It's a candy store, I like the experience," said Vincent Desjardins, a 20-year-old-student who plans to apply for a job at the Montreal shop.Canadians can also order marijuana products through websites run by provinces or private retailers and have it delivered to their home by mail.At 12:07 a.m., the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission tweeted: "You like us! Our website is experiencing some heavy traffic. We are working hard to get it up and running."Alberta and Quebec have set the minimum age for purchase at 18, while other provinces have made it 19. Rules vary in different jurisdictions about whether people can smoke pot outside.Fire and Flower Chief Executive Trevor Fencott brought his wife and three children — 16, 13 and 6 — for the opening of a company pot shop in Edmonton, even though the law forbid his children from going inside."Legalization is about daylighting a lot of stuff that used to be in the shadows," he said. "Our kids are going to inherit this system, for better or worse, and I thought it was important for them to see this sea change in Canadian society."No stores will open in Ontario, which includes Toronto. The nation's most populous province is working on its regulations and doesn't expect stores to operate until spring. The Pacific Coast province of British Columbia has just one store open, but it's not in Vancouver, one of Canada's largest cities.A patchwork of regulations has spread in Canada as each province takes its own approach within the framework established by the federal government. Some provinces have government-run stores, others allow private retailers, and some have both.Canada's national approach allows unfettered banking for the pot industry, inter-province shipments of cannabis and billions of dollars in investment — a sharp contrast with prohibitions in the United States, where nine states have legalized recreational sales of pot and more than 30 have approved medical marijuana.Many Americans are likely to cross into Canada to buy and use pot, but they can't take it back. U.S. border authorities have issued reminders that travelers could face arrest if caught with it.Bruce Linton, CEO of marijuana producer and retailer Canopy Growth, claims he made the first sale in Canada — less than a second after midnight in Newfoundland."It was extremely emotional," he said. "Several people who work for us have been working on this for their entire adult life and several of them were in tears."Cam Battley, chief corporate officer of Aurora Cannabis, also one of Canada's largest cannabis companies, said it's not every day you get to be involved in the start of a new industry."The world trusts Canada to be a leader in this," he said. "We're not known as wild and crazy. We're known for good public policy and I think they will follow our lead."___Rob Gillies reported from Toronto. Tracey Lindeman reported from Montreal.

China says interning Muslims brings them into 'modern' world-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
BEIJING — China on Tuesday characterized its mass internment of Muslims as a push to bring into the "modern, civilized" world a destitute people who are easily led astray — a depiction that analysts said bore troubling colonial overtones.The report is the ruling Communist Party's latest effort to defend its extrajudicial detention of Central Asian Muslim minorities against mounting criticism.China's resistance to Western pressure over the camps highlights its growing confidence under President Xi Jinping, who has offered Beijing's authoritarian system as a model for other countries.About 1 million Uighurs, Kazakhs and other minorities have been arbitrarily detained in mass internment camps in China's far west Xinjiang region, according to estimates by a U.N. panel. Former detainees say they were forced to disavow their Islamic beliefs in the camps, while children of detainees are being placed in dozens of orphanages across the region.The report by the official Xinhua News Agency indicated that key to the party's vision in Xinjiang is the assimilation of the indigenous Central Asian ethnic minorities into Han Chinese society — and in turn, a "modern" lifestyle.Xinjiang Gov. Shohrat Zakir said the authorities were providing people with lessons on Mandarin, Chinese history and laws. Such training would steer them away from extremism and onto the path toward a "modern life" in which they would feel "confident about the future," he said."It's become a general trend for them to expect and pursue a modern, civilized life," Zakir said, referring to the trainees. He said the measures are part of a broader policy to build a "foundation for completely solving the deeply-rooted problems" in the region.China has long viewed the country's ethnic minorities as backward, said James Leibold an expert on Chinese ethnic polices at Melbourne's La Trobe University.Leibold described Beijing's perspective on minorities as: "They're superstitious, they're deviant, they're potentially dangerous. The role of the party-state is to bring them into the light of civilization, to transform them."Despite growing alarm from the U.S. and the United Nations, China has maintained that Xinjiang's vast dragnet of police surveillance is necessary for countering latent extremism and preserving stability.The Turkic-speaking Uighurs (pronounced WEE-gurs) have long resented restrictions placed on their religious practices. They say they experience widespread discrimination in jobs and access to passports.In the Xinhua report, Zakir said authorities provide free vocational training in skills geared toward manufacturing, food and service industries. Zakir said "trainees" are paid a basic income during the training, in which free food and accommodations are provided.The report appeared aimed at disputing accounts provided by former detainees, who have said they were held in political indoctrination camps where they were forced to denounce Islam and profess loyalty to the party.Ethnic Uighurs and Kazakhs have told The Associated Press that ostensibly innocuous acts such as praying regularly, viewing a foreign website or taking phone calls from relatives abroad could land one in a camp.Zakir said the training centres were for people "who are influenced by terrorism and extremism, and those suspected of minor criminal offences " who could be exempted from criminal punishment.Zakir did not say whether such individuals were ever formally charged with any crime or provided a chance to defend themselves against the allegations. The report also did not say if attendance was mandatory, though former detainees have said they were forcibly held in centres policed by armed guards.Maya Wang, senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch, said the system deprived detainees of basic legal protections such as access to lawyers.The authorities' attempts to justify the camps "illustrate what the 'rule of law' in China means — that the party bends it to its will and uses it as a weapon against perceived political enemies," Wang said in an email.Zakir did not say how many people were in such courses, but said some would be able to complete their courses this year.Zakir seemed to try to counter reports of poor living conditions within the camps, saying that "trainees" were immersed in athletic and cultural activities. The centres ' cafeterias provide "nutritious, free diets," and dormitories are fully equipped with TVs, air conditioning and showers, he said.Omir Bekali, a Xinjiang-born Kazakh citizen, said he was kept in a cell with 40 people inside a heavily guarded facility.Bekali said he was kept in a locked room with eight other internees. They shared beds and a wretched toilet. Baths were rare.Before meals, they were told to chant "Thank the party! Thank the motherland!" During daily mandatory classes, they were told that their people were backward before being "liberated" by the party in the 1950s.The idea that one's beliefs can be transformed through indoctrination dates back to the Mao Zedong era, when self-criticisms and public humiliation were routinely employed to stir up ideological fervour .The program's philosophies can be traced even further back to the late imperial era, when Xinjiang's "natives" were seen as requiring education in the Confucian way, according to Michael Clarke, a Xinjiang expert at Australian National University.Amnesty International called the Xinhua report an insult to detainees and the families of people who have gone missing in the crackdown."No amount of spin can hide the fact that the Chinese authorities are undertaking a campaign of systematic repression," the human rights group said.Yanan Wang, The Associated Press.
Waive wireless bills for some Hurricane Michael victims: U.S. FCC chief-[Reuters]-By David Shepardson-YAHOONEWS-October 17, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on Tuesday called for wireless carriers to waive October bills for people hardest hit by Hurricane Michael after some Florida residents expressed frustration in getting mobile phone service restored.Pai also said consumers in those areas should be allowed to switch carriers without paying a penalty.Verizon Communications Inc, which has been criticized for the pace of its restoration efforts, said late on Tuesday that all consumer and business customers in hard hit Bay County and Gulf County, Florida, would be automatically credited for three months of mobile service for each line they have.At least 18 deaths in four states have been blamed on Michael, which crashed into the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 10 as one of the most powerful storms on record to hit the continental United States. The storm damaged fiber networks and electrical wires necessary for broadband and mobile phone service.Pai said in a written statement the progress in restoring service is "completely unacceptable" and that the FCC will investigate the outages.The request from the chair of the nation's telecommunications regulator came after Florida Governor Rick Scott, who is locked in a tough race for the U.S. Senate, earlier on Tuesday called on carriers to waive bills for customers without service and allow consumers to change carriers without penalty.Verizon has attributed the delay in part to significant damage to fiber connections in Florida's Panhandle and the strength of the storm.On Tuesday, the FCC said that 61.5 percent of cell sites remain out of service in Bay County, down from 65.4 percent on Monday.Scott said "telecommunications companies should be open and transparent with Floridians and do so with a clearly communicated plan to quickly restore service."U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat running for re-election against Scott, earlier on Tuesday asked carriers to "provide a 60-day moratorium on late fees, interest accrual, penalties and any other unnecessary costs to give people time to recover and get back on their feet."In a letter to Verizon on Tuesday, Nelson said "too many of your Florida customers in the Panhandle are still not able to use your network. This is not acceptable, especially when your competitors have been restoring service much faster."AT&T Inc spokesman Michael Balmoris said the company has implemented credits for customers in hard-hit areas and plans to extend those credits through Oct. 21. AT&T plans to continue those "as conditions require."AT&T has deployed 15 large-scale portable cell sites to the most storm damaged areas.(Reporting by David Shepardson in Washington; Editing by Leslie Adler and Matthew Lewis)
