Rabbi Yechezkel Feivel was the [[Magid]] in [[Vilnius]] in the early 19th century and the author of the book Toldos Adam, a hagiography of Rabbi Zalman of Volozhin, the famed brother of [[Chaim of Volozhin]].
Born in [[Palanga]] in 1756, in his youth he was appointed preacher in his native town and, subsequently, in Deretschin. He was thereafter known as "The Magid of Deretschin". At the age of 19 he was an itinerant preacher in the Jewish communities of Galicia, Hungary, and Germany (where he remained for some time in Breslau).
In Vilna he made the acquaintance of the [[Gaon of Vilna]] and through him, of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman of Volozhin. Zalman made a deep impression upon Yechezkel, who wrote his biography (Toldos Adam, in 2 parts (Dyhernfurth, 1801–09); frequently reprinted). This contains details of Zalman's life and his teachings as well as stories current about him, and is a unique work for its period, reflecting the widening of the horizons of Hebrew literature in Lithuania at the end of the 18th century. Yechezkel sharply censures those rabbis who neglect study of the Scriptures as a result of their preoccupation with the Talmud and codes.
In 1811 Yechezkel accepted an invitation to become the Maggid of Vilna, a post in which he served until his death.
Other works by Yechezkel are Musar Haskel (Dyhernfurth, 1790), an exposition of Hilkhot De'ot and Teshuvah of Maimonides, and a commentary Be'urei Maharif (i.e., Morenu ha-Rav Yechezkel Feivel) on the Midrash Rabbah to Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus, which was published in Vilna together with the text in 1878. A third volume of Toldos Adam remains unpublished.

[[File:Donna Tanoue january 2012.jpg|thumb||right|[[Donna Tanoue]] spouse of Honolulu Mayor [[Kirk Caldwell]]|200px]]
The spouse of the [[Mayor of Honolulu]] is an unpaid ceremonial position. Those who have filled the position have been a reflection of the history of the islands. Several were of Hawaiian ancestry. Emma Fern was a Hawaiian chanter and dancer. [[Kini Kapahu Wilson]] was not only a proponent of women's voting suffrage, but also found fame as a hula dancer who performed for heads of state around the world. Where Hawaiian ancestry was involved, including the cultural tradition of informal adoption known as [[hānai]], some of the spouses were known by more than one name in addition to their married names.
So far, [[Eileen Anderson]] has been the only woman mayor, and her husband Clifford F. Anderson was retired as an officer with the [[Honolulu Police Department]] when she ran for office. Mayor [[Frank Fasi]] married Cherry Blossom Queen contestant Joyce Kono. Lucy Thurston Blaisdell was a school teacher for decades, and Gail Mukaihata Hanneman served as a United States Congressional staffer or years, before returning to Hawaii when her husband ran for mayor. [[Donna Tanoue]] has a background in financial investment, has served on several corporate boards, and earned her [[Juris Doctor|J.D.]] from the [[Georgetown University Law Center]].

Susannah Israel
【Move to another page】

http://ift.tt/2kTpRtN
ZTaurel: Created article/page.
Susannah Israel (1954-present) is a contemporary figurative ceramic artist from the [[San Francisco Bay Area]] . Born in 1954 in [[New York City]], NY, she has been residing in the Bay Area since the early 1980's. Her recognizable figures are highly expressive, and serve as visual extension of her critical and allegorical narratives.
== '''Personal Life''' ==
Israel met her husband, a scientist and composer named Ted King (Philadelphia, Pn 1945-2001) in the early 70's, and the two had a daughter together. In 1976, the couple and their two daughters moved to San Francisco, later moving to the Vulcan Foundry Studios, a labyrinthine warehouse complex for artists in Oakland, California. During the years 2000 and 2001 Israel suffered personally as she watched both her mother, and her husband die from cancer. After taking a sabbatical from her art, Israel eventually returned with sculptures that are deeply reflective, and even richer with layered narrative than before.
== '''Education''' ==
Israel graduated from a high school in the small village of [[Wappingers Falls, New York]] where she was awarded the Regents Honors Scholarship to Pratt Art Institute in New York City in 1972. In 1980, the artist completed the paramedic/EMT program at [[San Francisco General Hospital]], and became one of the first three women paramedics in the City and County of San Francisco. From 1983-1987, Israel attended [[San Francisco State University]] earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art & Chemistry. She returned in 1997 to acquire a Master's degree in Art in 2000. While there, she studied with (among others) [[Stephen De Staebler|Stephen de Staebler]], Joe Hawley, Candace Crockett, Paul Pratchenko, [[David Kuraoka]], Paula Levine and Kathleen Hanna.
== '''Teaching Career''' ==
In the early 1970's, Israel began teaching art and ceramics. She created a ceramic arts program at the Cleveland Friends School, in Cleveland, Ohio, and taught there from 1973-1974.

== '''Personal Life''' ==
Israel met her husband, a scientist and composer named Ted King (Philadelphia, Pn 1945-2001) in the early 70's, and the two had a daughter together. In 1976, the couple and their two daughters moved to San Francisco, later moving to the Vulcan Foundry Studios, a labyrinthine warehouse complex for artists in Oakland, California. During the years 2000 and 2001 Israel suffered personally as she watched both her mother, and her husband die from cancer. After taking a sabbatical from her art, Israel eventually returned with sculptures that are deeply reflective, and even richer with layered narrative than before.
== '''Education''' ==
Israel graduated from a high school in the small village of [[Wappingers Falls, New York]] where she was awarded the Regents Honors Scholarship to Pratt Art Institute in New York City in 1972. In 1980, the artist completed the paramedic/EMT program at [[San Francisco General Hospital]], and became one of the first three women paramedics in the City and County of San Francisco. From 1983-1987, Israel attended [[San Francisco State University]] earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art & Chemistry. She returned in 1997 to acquire a Master's degree in Art in 2000. While there, she studied with (among others) [[Stephen De Staebler|Stephen de Staebler]], Joe Hawley, Candace Crockett, Paul Pratchenko, [[David Kuraoka]], Paula Levine and Kathleen Hanna.

Cost of Victory in Mosul: More Than 9,000 Civilians Dead
【Move to another page】
Quote
http://ift.tt/2COnujE
Between 9,000 and 11,000 people were killed in the nine-month battle to liberate the Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State group, a civilian casualty rate nearly 10 times higher than has been previously reported, an Associated Press investigation found. The deaths aren't acknowledged by the U.S.-led coalition, the Iraqi government or IS's self-styled caliphate. Iraqi or coalition forces were responsible for at least 3,200 civilian deaths from airstrikes, artillery fire or mortar rounds between October 2016 and the fall of IS in July 2017, according to the AP investigation, which cross-referenced morgue lists and multiple databases from nongovernmental organizations. Most of those victims were simply described as "crushed" in health ministry reports. The coalition, which has not sent anyone to Mosul to investigate recent allegations, acknowledges responsibility for 326 deaths. 'Disheartening' lack of interest "It was the biggest assault on a city in a couple of generations, all told. And thousands died," said Chris Woods, head of Airwars, an independent organization that documents air and artillery strikes in Iraq and Syria and shared its database with the AP. "Understanding how those civilians died, and obviously ISIS played a big part in that as well, could help save a lot of lives the next time something like this has to happen. And the disinterest in any sort of investigation is very disheartening," Woods said, using an alternative acronym for IS. In addition to the Airwars database, the AP analyzed information from Amnesty International, Iraq Body Count and a U.N. report. The AP also obtained a list from Mosul's morgue of 9,606 people killed during the operation. Hundreds of dead civilians are thought to still be buried in the rubble. Of the nearly 10,000 deaths the AP found, about a third of the casualties died in bombardment by the U.S.-led coalition or Iraqi forces. Another third were killed in IS militants' final frenzy of violence. And it could not be determined which side was responsible for the deaths of the remainder. But the morgue total would be many times higher than official tolls. Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi told the AP that 1,260 civilians had been killed in the fighting. The U.S.-led coalition has not offered an overall figure. The coalition relies on drone footage, video from cameras mounted on weapons systems and pilot observations for investigations. "The coalition never came to us or sent anyone else to us asking for data. They never came directly or indirectly," said Hatem Ahmed Sarheed, one of the Iraqi men responsible for recording Mosul's dead. An AP reporter visited the morgue six times in six weeks and spoke to morgue staffers dozens of times over the phone. The Americans say they do not have the resources to send a team into Mosul. Because of what the coalition considers insufficient information, the majority of civilian casualty allegations are deemed "not credible" before an investigation ever begins. The coalition has defended its operational choices, saying it was IS that put civilians in danger as it clung to power. 'Inadvertent casualties' "It is simply irresponsible to focus criticism on inadvertent casualties caused by the coalition's war to defeat ISIS," Colonel Thomas Veale, a coalition spokesman, told the AP in response to questions about civilian deaths. "Without the coalition's air and ground campaign against ISIS, there would have inevitably been additional years, if not decades, of suffering and needless death and mutilation in Syria and Iraq at the hands of terrorists who lack any ethical or moral standards," he added. What is clear from the tallies is that as coalition and Iraqi government forces increased their pace, civilians were dying in ever higher numbers at the hands of their liberators. "We are horrified, but not surprised, by these new figures. These numbers are directly in line with our previous findings that thousands of civilians were killed during the battle for Mosul — and that these deaths were caused not only by the so-called Islamic State group, but also by Iraqi and coalition forces," Lynn Maalouf, head of research in the Mideast for Amnesty International, said in response to the AP report. Mosul was home to more than 1 million civilians before the fight to retake it from the IS group began. Fearing a massive humanitarian crisis, the Iraqi government told families to stay put as the final battle loomed in late 2016. As the battle crossed the Tigris River to the west last winter, IS fighters took thousands of civilians with them in their retreat from the eastern half of Mosul. They packed hundreds of families into schools and government buildings. They expected the tactic would dissuade airstrikes and artillery. They were wrong. When Iraqi forces bogged down in late December, the Pentagon adjusted the rules regarding the use of air power, allowing airstrikes to be called in by more ground commanders with less chain-of-command oversight. As the fight punched into western Mosul, the morgue logs filled with civilians increasingly killed by having been "blown to pieces." Massive strike After a single coalition strike killed more than 100 civilians in Mosul's al-Jadidah neighborhood on March 17, the entire fight was put on hold for three weeks. Under intense international pressure, the coalition sent a team into the city for the first time, ultimately concluding that the 500-pound (227-kilogram) bomb — which hit a house packed with families taking shelter from the fighting — was justified to kill a pair of IS group snipers. Iraq's special forces units were instructed not to call in coalition strikes on buildings, but instead on gardens and roads adjacent to IS group targets. A WhatsApp group shared by coalition advisers and Iraqi forces coordinating airstrikes previously named "killing daesh 24/7" was wryly renamed "scaring daesh 24/7." Daesh is the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. But on the ground, Iraqi special forces officers said they soon returned to the fight just as before. The WhatsApp group's name was changed back to "killing daesh."

Munzinger-Archiv

Dwanyewest: /* Literature */
Munzinger-Archiv is a German publisher and online information provider based in Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg.
The information on biographies, countries and lexical facts consists of loose-leaf collections, CD-ROMs and an online service with several million entries and is mainly used by publishers, the press, radio, political institutions and libraries.
==History==
The Munzinger Archive was founded in Berlin in 1913 by Ludwig Munzinger senior, who, as a former journalist and editorial director of the Berliner Dienst press agency, saw a market for an information service that would allow newspaper editors to quickly and reliably research background information on persons and topics. On March 17, 1913, the first delivery of the archive of journalistic work was published, which from now on was continued on a weekly basis.
In 1914 Munzinger was drafted for military service during the First World War. The archive was continued during the war by his wife Cora on a reduced scale. In 1918, Munzinger returned to his family, which has since moved to Ravensburg, Upper Swabia. From about 1923 the archive became more and more successful, and in 1926 Munzinger relocated the company headquarters to Berlin.
In 1928, the publishing program was expanded to include a sports archive. In 1930, the company moved to Dresden-Loschwitz, home of Cora Munzinger. In the time of National Socialism, the archive was not incorporated as many other companies in the press in the press of the Nazi Party or equaled, but it had to deal with a censor of the Dresden Propaganda Directorate from 1936. In 1939, the statistical-political papers were added to the publishing program. After the bombing of Dresden in February 1945, the Munzinger family fled once again to Ravensburg, where the company still has its headquarters today.
In the spring of 1946, the first shipment of the archive appeared after the Second World War. In the post-war period, the Munzinger Archive developed into a leading provider of information on current events and in particular biographical information for the press. The loose-leaf handbook Countries with statistical and political information on all countries of the world, developed from the statistical-political papers, has become a standard work.
After the death of the founder in 1957, his son Ludwig Munzinger took over Jr. the management of the company. With the press concentration of the 1960s and the dissolution of numerous smaller newspaper editors, the clientele of the archive decreased, so libraries were increasingly recruited as customers for the loose-leaf works of the publishing house. From 1985, the publication was gradually expanded to include electronic offers, initially with an electronic sports archive. In 1995, the publisher moved to a new building in the Ravensburg district of Oberzell. Ludwig Munzinger retired in 2000 from the publishing house. His son Ernst Munzinger has been managing director since 1988.<ref>Gunther Dahinten: Die Qualität der Information hat hier absoluten Vorrang. Ernst Munzinger. In: Profile Ravensburg. Biberacher Verlagsdruckerei, Biberach 2008, ISBN 978-3-933614-40-7, S. 152–155</ref>
As a result of the ever-increasing concentration of newspaper editors and digitization, the company lost a large number of customers in the years following 2001. This was partly compensated by the construction of the own portal as well as by the offers at libraries. Meanwhile one is "on a positive way", explained Ernst Munzinger 2016. One could make however no big jumps.<ref>http://ift.tt/2z0KqJY;
==Munzinger today==
Since 1997, the Munzinger Archive has been providing information on paid services via the World Wide Web (Munzinger Online). Since 1999, an intranet database has also been offered. All of the publisher's publications are also offered on CD-ROM as well as a loose-leaf collection for subscription.<ref>http://ift.tt/2BhYKUp;
The online version of the International Biographical Archive now contains more than 29,200 biographies. New contributions are added weekly to the stock.<ref>http://ift.tt/2z2oPAR; The International Sports Archive contains about 11,000 biographies of athletes, the Pop Archive International about 1,900 biographies of artists and bands as well as articles on technical terms of music. In addition to other Munzinger information services, such as countries, chronicle and memorial days, Munzinger Online also includes the Critical Dictionary on contemporary German-language literature, the Critical Encyclopedia on Foreign Language Contemporary Literature, Kindler's Literatur Lexikon, the Lexicon of Illustration and the contemporary database of the edition text + criticism available. The online program also includes the film-service database (with reviews from Filmdienst magazine), 17 dictionaries and dictionaries by Duden, a press section with newspapers and magazines such as [[Der Spiegel]] or [[Die Welt]], access to Library PressDisplay and access to music the Naxos Libraries. The Brockhaus Encyclopaedia (text only, no pictures) was removed from Munzinger at the end of 2015 because the publisher has since built its own multimedia portal.

At-Risk Refugees Pay it Forward in North Dakota

Winter has come to Fargo, North Dakota, and at the Great Plains Food Bank on the north side of the city, 16-year-old Puja Chetri and 18-year-old Maria Tuya are stocking up for the season. Chetri, a refugee who fled Nepal with her family when she was 10, and Tuya, a refugee from South Sudan, know the food packages they are stacking up could go a long way to feed their families. "Sometime(s) we don't have that much to eat; usually there's like a box of cereal," Chetri explains, something Tuya says she can also relate to. "When I open the fridge, there is not much I can pick from." There is variety at the Great Plains Food Bank, where they sort, stack and pile their haul into the bed of a pickup truck. But their destination is not into the cupboards of their own homes. They plan to simply…give this food away. "When we hand them food and they go out the door, their facial expression is so bright," Chetri told VOA, holding back tears while trying to explain the personal rewards she gets by organizing a food pantry to feed those in need around her. "They are so delightful; there is so much gratefulness in their facial expression, they are getting little hopes each day when we are handing this food out." Chetri and Tuya's pop-up food pantry is in part an answer to Fargo's need, where almost 15 percent of the population live below the poverty level. While this exercise in giving was conceived and executed by refugee students including Chetri and Tuya, it is one of the many lessons sponsored in part by the non-profit Legacy Children's Foundation, which Executive Director Mary Jean Dehne explains is "an after-school resource to help at-risk kids, low income students receive the resources they need to graduate from high school." North Dakota is one of the leading resettlement locations, per capita, for refugees coming to the United States. About 400 refugees each year arrive in the state, where they are gradually reshaping the ethnic and cultural makeup of their adopted hometowns. More than 5,000 refugees from more than 40 countries now call the city of Fargo and the surrounding area home. The transition for refugees in this northern state is not always easy, and, while the Legacy Children's Foundation does not solely focus on refugees, Dehne says they are often the ones who come to the organization with the greatest risk of dropping out of school. "They really are challenged with feeling like they are fitting in," she told VOA from the modest office she works from in a converted home in one of Fargo's poorest neighborhoods. "They look different, they talk different, they have a different dialect; they don't always understand what the teacher wants when they ask questions." It is all too familiar, and painful, for Puja Chetri, who choked back tears explaining her hardship in adapting to life in her new country. "When you see people in your grade level, and you're not there, and you are so far behind, and you are taken out of class regularly, it just hurts." Thanks to Legacy's programs, which include English lessons, math tutors, and speech therapy sessions, both Chetri and Tuya are among a growing group of success stories who are either currently excelling in, or have already graduated from high school. "Honestly, if this program didn't exist, I wouldn't be here," says Chetri. "I don't know what I'd be doing." "Not only has it helped me with school and education, it has also helped me with leadership skills and confidence," says Maria Tuya, who will graduate from high school later this year. Confidence is an attribute at the core of their determination to pay back Legacy...by paying it forward, not just at the pantry, but also at area homeless shelters where they bring warm food, warm blankets, and, above all for Chetri, hope. "When someone is helping you do better, you just want to give back and make someone else's life get better," she explains. "A small act of kindness can go a long way." A long way in making North Dakota's long, cold winter nights a little bit warmer for those struggling this holiday season, thanks to some of its newest, and most grateful neighbors.

Former Boko Haram Fighters Wait for Rehabilitation Facility

The multinational joint task force fighting the Boko Haram insurgency in Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria says it will hold some 200 former terrorists until Cameroon can construct a rehabilitation center where they will be socially integrated before returning to their communities. The ex-terrorists are currently at the barracks of the multinational joint task force in Mora, on Cameroon's northern border with Nigeria. Soldiers of the Mora camp of the Multinational Joint Task Force fighting Boko Haram sing what is now their regular song after a successful operation. They have just returned from the border with Nigeria with 12 fighters whom they say handed themselves over to the military. Among them is Soule Bupaga, a 22-year-old Nigerian. He says his wish is to return to his village (at Sanda Wajiri, near Kerawa) in Nigeria and that he regrets all the killings even though they were forced to carry them out. He says what he did was not good. There are nearly 200 former fighters detained in the camp. Some were arrested during fighting and others handed themselves over to the military. Cameroonian ex-fighter, 26-year old Gouma Wamwha, says he decided to report to the military after he escaped from a Boko Haram training camp in the Nigerian border town of Gambarou, but was barred from entering his village in the Cameroon town of Kolofata. He says he escaped from a Boko Haram camp with a motorcycle he was given to monitor and report to his former superiors each time a suspected group of people or a strange vehicle was seen approaching. Midjiyawa Bakari, governor of Cameroon's far north region says the government will continue to protect the ex-fighters. He says they have secured land in the border town of Meme were all former fighters will be assisted in reintegrating to society. He says the ex-fighters have committed to assisting the military in bringing back their peers who are still either hiding in the bush because they are afraid of the military or are still under Boko Haram control. 200 other former Boko Haram fighter are taken care of in the Mozogo local council by the government of Cameroon and UN agencies. Their relatives are not ready to accept them in their villages for fear they may once again be infiltrated by the terrorists. The population says some of them may be spies or have been brainwashed with Boko Haram ideology.

Critics Accuse New Foundation of Acting as Smoke-Screen for Big Tobacco

Controversy is swirling around the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World. This new non-profit organization has come under intense criticism from health agencies and anti-tobacco campaigners who accuse it of acting as a smoke-screen for Big Tobacco, a charge vigorously denied by the foundation's president. Derek Yach, who created and heads the foundation, was one of the architects of the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which came into force February 27, 2005. He said he believes the provisions of the Convention were still valid and have been largely successful in preventing people from smoking and "in slowing the increase in kids through higher taxes, marketing and so on." But, he told VOA that the Convention focuses little attention on trying to get the billion current smokers in the world to quit the habit. "To actually accelerate the decline in the billion smokers, we need to have better cessation, harm reduction and better product regulation," he said. "And, I think those elements, I do not think have got the energy that we actually require." Yach said more than seven million people globally die prematurely each year from tobacco. He said his foundation's mission was to wean these smokers away from their deadly addiction by using new harm reduction tools such as e-cigarettes and vaping. "If these products have an impact," he said, "we need to have independent research to show that they should be given more support.

Taliban Kills 14 Afghan Troops, Suicide Car Bomb Targets NATO Convoy

http://ift.tt/2BmRZgX
Taliban insurgents have killed at least 14 Afghan troops and injured several others in a pre-dawn attack in southern Helmand province. Officials said Sunday insurgents stormed police outposts around the provincial capital of Lashkargah, but security forces repelled the attack and ensuing fierce clashes inflicted heavy casualties on the Taliban. A Taliban spokesman claimed the attack and gave a much higher death toll for government forces. Later, a suicide bomber in neighboring Kandahar province detonated his explosives-laden vehicle near a NATO convoy. Provincial police spokesman, Matiullah Helal, told VOA, the blast killed a woman passerby and wounded five other civilians, but did not harm any foreign troops. The Taliban routinely carry out guerrilla raids and suicide bombings, mainly targeting Afghan security forces and convoys of NATO's Resolute Support mission, which comprises mostly U.S. forces.

Iran Tells France's Macron Not to 'Blindly Follow" Trump
【Move to another page】
Quote
http://ift.tt/2AImuwO
Iran on Sunday criticized French President Emmanuel Macron over his tough stance toward Tehran and said Paris would soon lose its international credibility if it "blindly follows" U.S. President Donald Trump. Tensions between Iran and France have risen in recent months after Macron said Tehran should be less aggressive in the Middle East, citing in particular its involvement in Syria's civil war. Macron, unlike Trump, has reaffirmed his country's commitment to the deal Iran signed in 2015 with world powers under which it curbed its disputed nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of most international sanctions. However, he has been critical of Iran's ballistic missile tests and wants to raise the possibility of new sanctions over the program, which Tehran calls solely defensive in nature. "To sustain its international credibility, France should not blindly follow the Americans... The French president is now acting as Trump's lapdog," Ali Akbar Velayati, the top adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars news agency. Velayati also criticized U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who last week presented pieces of what she said were parts of an Iranian missile supplied to the Tehran-aligned Houthi militia in Yemen. She described the objects as conclusive evidence that Tehran was violating U.N. resolutions. "This claim shows she lacks basic scientific knowledge and decency. She is like her boss [Trump] as he also says baseless, ridiculous things. Iran has not supplied Yemen with any missile," Velayati said. 'Fingerprints'? Tasnim news agency quoted the spokesman for Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Ramezan Sharif, as saying on Sunday that "they show a cylinder and say Iran's fingerprints are all over it, while everyone knows that Yemen acquired some missile capabilities from the Soviet Union and North Korea in the past." France took a cautious stance on Haley's report. "The United Nations secretariat has not, at this stage, drawn any conclusions. France continues to examine the information at its disposal," Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman Alexandre Giorgini said on Friday. Saudi Arabia, who has long accused Iran of smuggling missiles to the Houthis and has intervened against them in Yemen's war to try to restore its internationally recognized government, welcomed Haley's report. Iran has one of the Middle East's biggest missile programs and some of its precision-guided missiles have the range to strike its arch-regional enemy Israel. Israel has also called for world powers to take punitive steps against Iran over its missile ambitions. An Israeli cabinet minister said last month that Israel has had covert contacts with Saudi Arabia amid common concerns over Iran. Velayati said on Sunday that reported meetings between Saudi and Israeli officials were no threat to Iran as both countries were "weak and insignificant." Last month, the Revolutionary Guards warned Europe that if it threatens Tehran, the Guards will increase the range of missiles to above 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles).

Jordan's most influential businessman, the Palestinian billionaire Sabih al-Masri, returned to his home in Riydah after being detained by Saudi authorities and is expected to be allowed to leave the country soon, sources close to the family said on Sunday. Masri's detention, which follows the biggest purge of the Saudi kingdom's affluent elite in its modern history, has sent shockwaves through business circles in Jordan and the Palestinian territories, where the billionaire has major investments. A Saudi citizen of Palestinian origin, Masri is also the chairman of Amman-based Arab Bank, one of the Middle East's largest financial institutions.

East Libyan Commander Says Will Listen to 'Will of Free Libyan People'
【Move to another page】
Quote
http://ift.tt/2yMV4DT
Eastern Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar, whose forces control parts of the country, said on Sunday he would listen to the "will of free Libyan people", in the strongest indication so far that he might run in elections expected next year. Haftar styles himself as a strongman capable of ending the chaos that has gripped Libya since the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. His comments, made at a military graduation ceremony, recall those of Egypt's General Abdel Fattah al-Sissi when he was testing the ground before becoming presidential candidate. Sissi was eventually elected in 2014. Just as Sis built up wide support after toppling Egypt's Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013, supporters of Haftar speak of a similar situation developing in Libya, with rallies held in some eastern cities calling on him to run. "We declare clearly and unequivocally our full compliance with the orders of the free Libyan people, which is its own guardian and the master of its land," Haftar said in a speech. He spoke in the eastern city of Benghazi, from where his forces managed to expel Islamist militants during a three-year battle. Haftar, a general from the Gadhafi era, also dismissed a series of U.N.-led talks to bridge differences between Libya's two rival administrations, one linked to him in the east and one backed by the United Nations in the capital Tripoli. "All the dialogues starting from Ghadames and ending in Tunis and going through Geneva and Skhirat [in Morocco] were just ink on paper," he said, listing host cities of U.N. talks. Obstacle The United Nations launched a new round of talks in September in Tunis between the rival factions to prepare for presidential and parliamentary elections in 2018, but they broke off after one month without any deal. A major obstacle to progress was the issue of Haftar's own rule. He remains popular among some Libyans in the east weary of the chaos but faces opposition from many in western Libya. In his speech Haftar said his forces, known as the Libyan National Army (LNA), could be only placed under an authority that had been elected by the Libyan people, in a further indication that he might take part in the election. The large North African country has been in turmoil since Gadhafi's downfall gave space to Islamist militants and smuggling networks that have sent hundreds of thousands of migrants across the Mediterranean to Europe. Haftar is just one of many players in Libya, which is controlled by armed groups divided along political, religious, regional and business lines.

Witnesses and health officials say an airstrike by a Saudi-led coalition has struck a wedding procession east of Yemen's capital, killing 10 women. They say the Sunday airstrike targeted the women as they marched to a village in Maarib province. They said the bride was among the women, but it was not immediately clear whether she was wounded. It's a tradition in rural Yemen for the bride's female friends and relatives to escort her to the wedding ceremony, where the groom awaits. The witnesses and officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation or were not authorized to brief the media. The U.S.-backed coalition has been at war with Iranian-supported Shi'ite rebels since 2015. Its airstrikes have hit civilians on a number of occasions.

Leaders of the other 27 EU nations gave a boost to May on Friday when they declared that talks over Britain's exit can proceed to the issues of transition and future relations. Writing in two Sunday newspapers, May also struck a defiant note and said her Brexit plans won't be "derailed" by anti-Brexit campaigners. May, who is already struggling to maintain her authority amid the fractious exit process, suffered a significant political defeat in Parliament on Wednesday when the House of Commons voted to give lawmakers the final say on any Brexit agreement.

2 Danish Journalists Violently Attacked in Gabon

A man stabbed two Danish journalists in Gabon's capital, declaring it was in retaliation for U.S. attacks against Muslims and leaving one reporter in serious condition, Gabon's defense minister said. The attack Saturday occurred while the journalists were shopping at an artisanal market, a site popular with tourists. It is the first of its kind in this West African country where Muslims and Christians coexist peacefully. The stabbing was carried out in Libreville by a 53-year-old Niger national who screamed "Allah Akbar," said Gabonese Minister of Defense Etienne Massard Makaga. The attacker, who has lived in Gabon for 19 years, was immediately arrested. When questioned by the police, he said he acted "in retaliation for the attacks of the United States against the Muslims and the American recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," said Makaga. "Everything will be done to ensure that the author and his possible accomplices are punished with the utmost rigor that the law allows," said the minister who denounced "an act abominable, cowardly and ignoble." Makaga said such acts are contrary to the Gabonese way of living together and "detrimental to social peace." The journalists, one male and one female reportedly working for National Geographic, were rushed to a hospital. The man was operated on and is currently in intensive care, said government spokesman Alain Claude Bilie By Nze. Oil-rich Gabon is known for its wildlife, including most of Africa's remaining forest elephants, which are being heavily targeted by traffickers. Gabon is ruled by President Ali Bongo Ondimba, whose family has been in power for nearly half a century.

Saudi Hopes Purge Will Help Push to Join Anti-Illicit Funding Body
【Move to another page】
Quote
http://ift.tt/2AZNR9I
Saudi Arabia has high hopes that a campaign of arrests to crack down on corruption will improve its chances of joining the Financial Action Task Force, a global body dedicated to combating illicit money flows. The kingdom, one of only two G-20 nations along with Indonesia which is not a FATF member, has tried for years to shake off a reputation as a breeding ground for corruption and terror financing. Its last attempt to join the inter-governmental body, which has 37 members, was unsuccessful in 2010 and some lobbyists may oppose the new Saudi push before an expected vote mid next year. But achieving membership offers the possibility of strengthening Riyadh's international standing at a time when it wants foreign investors to back its multi-billion dollar transformation plan, as well as improving global financial ties for its banks. Spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom detained dozens of senior business people and government officials last month, accusing them of crimes including money laundering although not of terror financing. Political analysts say the future king has also tried to tighten his grip on power through the purge. The crackdown — which involved the freezing of more than 2,000 bank accounts and liaising with central banks in among others Switzerland, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates -stress-tested the Saudi anti-money laundering system and found it largely effective, say sources familiar with the matter. The system will undergo further tests in the coming weeks as Saudi Arabia targets around $100 billion of settlements with some of those detained. "This will strengthen Saudi Arabia's position as a reformer and its efforts to move closer to a corruption-free society," said Jaspal Singh, who advises on anti-money laundering in the Middle East and North America.

Macron Has a Birthday at Loire Chateau; Critics Have Field Day

French President Emmanuel Macron celebrates his 40th birthday this weekend on the grounds of a former royal palace, in what some opponents called another tactless show of wealth. Rivals have branded former investment banker Macron "president of the rich" for policies such as the scrapping of a wealth tax and cutting the housing benefit, moves the president framed as reforms to boost investment and social mobility. Macron is staying with his wife, Brigitte, in a guesthouse close to the Chateau de Chambord, a former royal palace on the Loire that dates back to the 16th century. His office denied media reports that the celebrations would take place inside the chateau and said the trip was being paid for by the couple. Left-wing leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, who ran against Macron in the presidential election this year, called the chateau stay "ridiculous" for its royal symbolism. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, a right-wing politician who also ran for the presidency, said: "Times change but the oligarchy remains detached from the people." Macron's weekend retreat came as several of his ministers were shown to be millionaires. Cabinet of millionaires Figures released Friday by a body charged with ensuring financial transparency in politics showed Labor Minister Muriel Penicaud had the largest personal fortune, around 7.5 million euros ($8.8 million). Penicaud, at the forefront of Macron's push to shake up the economy, has been criticized for a gain made on stock options when she was an executive at food giant Danone. Environment Minister Nicolas Hulot declared personal wealth of more than 7 million euros and revealed he owned six cars. The former TV presenter and campaigner has called for France to stop selling petrol and diesel cars by 2040. Career politicians in the government had smaller fortunes, with Prime Minister Edouard Philippe's declaration showing 1.7 million euros, and Public Finances Minister Gerard Darmanin just 48,000 euros.

China Unveils Clean Heating Plan as Shortages Continue
【Move to another page】
Quote
http://ift.tt/2Cr8QOZ
China announced on Sunday a five-year plan to convert northern Chinese cities to clean heating this winter through to 2021, state media reported, amid a deepening heating crisis. An unprecedented government campaign to switch millions of households and thousands of businesses from coal to natural gas in northern China this winter has backfired. Severe natural gas shortages have sent prices soaring nationwide, hitting businesses and residents across China's industrial heartland. The plan was jointly announced by 10 government agencies, including the state planning National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration, the online edition of Securities Times quoted the China Energy News as saying. The plan covers 2017 through to 2021. The government has made "concrete arrangements" regarding geothermal heating, biomass heating, solar heating, gas heating, electric heating, industrial waste heating, and clean coal-fired central heating, the Securities Times said. Half of northern China would have converted to clean heating by 2019, reducing bulk coal burning by 74 million tons, it said. It gave no further details. Factories are closing or operating at reduced capacity, businesses are seeing profits shrink as supply chains are disrupted, and residents are struggling to keep warm in subzero temperatures without adequate heating at home or in classrooms, according to interviews conducted by Reuters across the region this month. The campaign to convert coal to gas is part of long-running government efforts to clean the region's toxic air after decades of unbridled economic growth. On Saturday, PetroChina began diverting nearly 7 million cubic meters of natural gas from the southern province of Guangdong to icy northern China to ease gas shortages, state television said Sunday. Chinese oil and gas major CNOOC had also started supplying some 3 million to 5 million cubic meters of natural gas per day from the South China Sea and its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Zhuhai city to fill the gap in Guangdong, it said. The gas swap was organized by the NDRC. Gas shortages also spread to Changsha city, capital of the southern province of Hunan. Households that have bought 1,500 cubic meters or more this year were limited to buying 15 cubic meters per day from Dec. 15 onward, state television said. The gas shortage in Changsha could exceed 60 million cubic meters this winter, it said.
