Trump vows ‘severe punishment’ if journalist was killed by Saudi Arabia-But president says he doesn’t want to limit US arms sales to Riyadh, even if kingdom found responsible for demise of Jamal Khashoggi-By AFP-TOI-OCT 16,18
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said Saudi Arabia could be behind the disappearance of missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi and warned Washington would inflict “severe punishment” if he was murdered.The Saudi critic has not been seen since he walked into the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul on October 2, with Turkish officials accusing Riyadh of murdering him inside the diplomatic mission.“We’re going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment,” Trump told CBS’s “60 Minutes” program, according to an excerpt of an interview that was released on Saturday.“As of this moment, they deny it and they deny it vehemently. Could it be them? Yes,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted on Thursday, when asked if Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia.The network said it will air the interview in full on Sunday evening.Trump added the matter was especially important “because this man was a reporter.”But when asked what options Trump would consider, the president said he was not keen to limit arms sales to the kingdom — a position he has previously voiced.“Well, it depends on what the sanction is,” he said.“I’ll give you an example — they are ordering military equipment. Everybody in the world wanted that order. Russia wanted it, China wanted it, we wanted it. We got it, and we got all of it, every bit of it.He added: “I’ll tell you what I don’t want to do. Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, I don’t want to hurt jobs. I don’t want to lose an order like that. And you know what, there are other ways of punishing, to use a word that’s a pretty harsh word, but it’s true.”
Hamas leader: We won’t halt Gaza marches for ‘diesel fuel and dollars’-Ismail Haniyeh says ‘blood of martyrs brings us closer to victory over Zionist enemy,’ vows ongoing fight until ‘siege on Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and all lands of Palestine is lifted’-By TOI staff-OCT 16,18
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that the violence at the Gaza border will continue until the “siege on Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and all the lands of Palestine is lifted.”“The strength of will and the determination of our people in the March of Return will lead to victory over the crimes of the occupation,” he said during funerals for those killed in the previous day’s border riots. “The blood of the martyrs brings us closer to victory over the Zionist enemy.”Israel on Friday halted the transfer of fuel to Gaza in response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence. Haniyeh said “our marches are not for diesel fuel and dollars, but a natural right of our people.”Seven Palestinians were reported killed in intense clashes with Israeli security forces along the Gaza border Friday afternoon, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Gaza media outlets said at least 150 protesters were injured.Earlier on Saturday minister and security cabinet member Yoav Gallant described the terrorist group as Israel’s “weakest and most aggressive enemy, a puppy that barks and shouts.”He slammed Hamas for its actions in Gaza, saying it was “using the blood of civilians to provoke international attention.”The army said Friday that assailants planted a bomb at the fence in the south of the Strip, blowing a hole in it. Some 20 Gazans then infiltrated the border and approached an IDF snipers’ post. Most turned back, but three who did not were shot and killed, the IDF said.Meanwhile, 10 fires broke out in southern Israel that were sparked by incendiary balloons launched over the border from Gaza as part of the ongoing protests. Heavy smoke from burning tires at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the northern Strip prompted authorities in Israel to order residents of the adjacent kibbutz to stay indoors as firefighters set up large fans to clear the smoke.In response to the violence Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman ordered a halt to the transfer of fuel into the Gaza Strip, only days after Israel began allowing hundreds of liters of fuel to be pumped into the Strip to allow increased power for residents.“Israel will not tolerate a situation in which fuel is allowed into Gaza while terror and violence is used against IDF soldiers and citizens,” a statement from his office said.In recent days Qatari-bought fuel had begun entering the Strip to allow operation of its only power station, in a bid to alleviate conditions in the blockaded Palestinian enclave. Hundreds of liters of fuel have since passed into the territory.Israel facilitated the delivery over the objections of the Palestinian Authority, hoping it would help ease months of protests and clashes.A Qatari official told the Reuters news agency that the $60 million fuel donation came “at the request of donor states in the United Nations, to prevent an escalation of the existing humanitarian disaster.”For months residents of the strip have been receiving only four hours of electricity a day on average. Jamie McGoldrick, the UN’s resident humanitarian coordinator, told the Reuters news agency the delivery will add a few more hours of electricity to Gaza’s 2 million residents.Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas’s Palestinian Authority in a 2007 near civil war and multiple reconciliation attempts aimed at restoring the PA to power in Gaza have failed.Abbas says that making deals with Hamas amounts to recognizing their control over Gaza in place of the PA and has sought to block the fuel deliveries. He has reportedly threatened to cut off funds to Gaza in response to the fuel transfers.Israel fears further deterioration in Gaza could lead to another round of war on the southern border.Both Israel and Egypt enforce restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to keep Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip from arming or building military infrastructure.Agencies contributed to this report.
Minister: ‘Hamas is a weak and aggressive enemy — a barking and shouting puppy’-After 7 killed in violent riots at border Friday, Yoav Gallant warns terrorist group it will pay a heavy price if Gaza aggression continues-By TOI staff-OCT 16,18
Housing and Construction Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday slammed Hamas for its actions in Gaza, saying it is “using the blood of civilians to provoke international attention.”A member of the security cabinet, Gallant told an event in Tel Aviv that Israel will not back down in the face of the actions of the terrorist group.“If Hamas continues its provocations and this deteriorates into terrorist acts as we have seen, we will take the gloves off,” he threatened, according to Hadashot news. “Hamas will pay a heavy price,” he said.Gallant, who headed the IDF Southern Command between 2005 and 2010, which included Operation Cast Lead — the three-week-long Gaza war that lasted from late 2008 until early 2009 — claimed the balance of power in the conflict remains in Israel’s hands at a scale of “one thousand to one.”“They are our weakest and most aggressive enemy, a puppy that barks and shouts,” he said.However Gallant maintained that Israel does not want a war and that Hamas has the ability to resolve the situation, after noting that the IDF was instructed to use minimal possible force against Gaza protesters.“If you are forced into a reality where you have to use force, you have to fall on the enemy with great force,” he said. “We have not yet reached this point — but we do not rule out that it could happen.”In response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence on Friday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman ordered a halt to the transfer of fuel into the Gaza Strip, only days after Israel began allowing hundreds of liters of fuel to be pumped into the Strip to allow increased power for residents.“Israel will not tolerate a situation in which fuel is allowed into Gaza while terror and violence is used against IDF soldiers and citizens,” a statement from his office said.Seven Palestinians were reportedly killed in intense clashes with Israeli security forces along the Gaza border Friday afternoon, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Gaza media outlets said at least 50 protesters were injured by Israeli fire.In the worst incident, the army said Gaza assailants planted a bomb near the fence in the southern part of the Strip, blowing a hole in the barrier, and that 20 Gazans then burst through it. Most turned back, but three of them who approached an IDF snipers’ post were shot and killed.Meanwhile, 10 fires broke out in southern Israel that were sparked by incendiary balloons launched over the border from Gaza as part of the ongoing protests. Heavy smoke from burning tires at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the northern Strip prompted authorities in Israel to order residents of the adjacent kibbutz to stay indoors as firefighters set up large fans to clear the smoke.Channel 10 news military analyst Alon Ben-David said Israel had seen Friday as a test for Hamas, which had been expected to temper border protests in response to Israel allowing the transfer of fuel into the Strip. Hamas had failed this test, he said.In recent days Qatari-bought fuel had begun entering the Strip to allow operation of its only power station, in a bid to alleviate conditions in the blockaded Palestinian enclave. Hundreds of liters of fuel have since passed into the territory.Israel has facilitated the delivery over the objections of the Palestinian Authority, hoping it will help ease months of protests and clashes.A Qatari official told the Reuters news agency that the $60 million fuel donation came “at the request of donor states in the United Nations, to prevent an escalation of the existing humanitarian disaster.”For months residents of the strip have been receiving only four hours of electricity a day on average. Jamie McGoldrick, the UN’s resident humanitarian coordinator, told the Reuters news agency the delivery will add a few more hours of electricity to Gaza’s 2 million residents.But it was met with criticism by officials close to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whose rival administration was not involved.Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas’s Palestinian Authority in a 2007 near civil war and multiple reconciliation attempts aimed at restoring the PA to power in Gaza have failed.Abbas says that making deals with Hamas amounts to recognizing their control over Gaza in place of the PA and has sought to block the fuel deliveriesIn a statement Tuesday Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior official close to Abbas, threatened retaliatory measures if the fuel deliveries continued.Abbas has reportedly threatened to cut off funds to Gaza in response to the fuel transfers.“When Qatar pays for the fuel, Hamas in Gaza will collect the bills and put it in its pocket, and this is an indirect financial aid to Hamas,” a PA official said Saturday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.Israel fears further deterioration in Gaza could lead to another round of war on the southern border.The halt of some $96 million that the PA sends monthly to the Gaza Strip could drive a desperate and cash-strapped Hamas toward conflict with Israel as a means of propping up its rule, and in the hope that bloodshed could generate sympathy for Gaza and reverse or replace the cut in aid from the US and Ramallah for Gazan welfare and development, Israeli officials believe.Israel also worries that a spike in violence in the south could easily spread to the West Bank.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Abbas was exacerbating Gaza woes and thereby fueling its residents’ aggression toward Israel.“Abbas is strangling them economically and they lash out at Israel,” he told a press conference in his Jerusalem office.Netanyahu did not specifically refer to the oil shipment but spoke of “attempts to reach a practical solution so that he will stop this strangulation.”He said that if Gaza tensions reached a boiling point and brought an uptick in attacks on neighboring southern Israel “the price they will pay will be very great.”“I’m not looking to launch unnecessary wars,” he said. “But if there’s no alternative you wage war with all your strength.”Both Israel and Egypt enforce a number of restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to keep Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip from arming or building military infrastructure.But the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened steadily, and Hamas’s reconciliation talks with the Palestinian Authority have broken down.Agencies contributed to this report.
Russia probes ISS rocket failure-[AFP]-Kirill KUDRYAVTSEV in Baikonur with Theo MERZ in Moscow-YAHOONEWS-October 15, 2018
Baikonur (Kazakhstan) (AFP) - Russian investigators have launched a probe into why a Soyuz rocket failed shortly after blast-off, in a major setback for Russia's beleaguered space industry.US astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin were forced to make an emergency landing after the incident on Thursday, but were rescued without injury in Kazakhstan.Russian officials said they were launching a criminal investigation into the accident, the first such incident on a manned flight in the country's post-Soviet history.The Russian space industry has suffered a series of problems in recent years, including the loss of a number of satellites and spacecraft. Officials said they would suspend manned launches in light of the latest accident."The emergency rescue system worked, the vessel was able to land in Kazakhstan... the crew are alive," the Russian space agency Roscosmos said in a tweet."An accident with the booster, two minutes, 45 seconds," the voice of Ovchinin could be heard saying calmly in live-streamed footage of the launch from Kazakhstan's Baikonur cosmodrome.The incident came as the rocket was travelling about 4,700 miles (7,500 kilometres) per hour, just 119 seconds into the voyage, according to NASA."Shortly after launch, there was an anomaly with the booster and the launch ascent was aborted, resulting in a ballistic landing of the spacecraft," the US space agency said in a statement.The descent was sharper than usual, meaning the crew were subjected to a greater G-force, but they were prepared for this scenario in training, according to a commentator on NASA's video livestream of the launch."We're tightening our seatbelts," Ovchinin said in the video."That was a short flight."- Documents seized in probe -Rescue workers reached the site of the emergency landing and evacuated Ovchinin and Hague.Photos released by Russian government and NASA Twitter accounts later showed the men embracing their families and enjoying a hearty Russian meal back on the ground.Russia is currently the only country taking crew to and from the ISS.The European Space Agency, whose astronaut Alexander Gerst is on the ISS, said in a statement that "the aborted launch will have influence on the planning for the near future".Stefan Beransky, editor of the specialist Aerospatium magazine and author of a book on the Soyuz rocket, said now "the main problem is that there are two fewer people at the station"."As we wait for the conclusions of a Russian probe, the Soyuz will perhaps be grounded for some time," he told AFP.Russia's Investigative Committee said a criminal probe would seek to determine whether safety regulations had been violated during construction, causing major damage."Officials are currently examining the launch site, documents are being seized," it said in a statement."Thank God the cosmonauts are alive," Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.Kenny Todd, operations integration manager at the International Space Station said he "had every confidence that our Russian colleagues will figure out what's going on".There have been two similar Soviet-era accidents involving the Soyuz spacecraft, which are still used to ferry crews to and from the ISS.In 1975, Oleg Makarov and Vasily Lazarev made a successful emergency landing in Siberia's Altai mountains following problems during booster separation.Vladimir Titov and Gennady Strekalov survived a fire during launch in Kazakhstan in 1983.Former military pilots Ovchinin and Hague had been set to join the ESA's Gerst, NASA's Serena Aunon-Chancellor and Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos following a six-hour flight.- Hole on the ISS -The International Space Station -- a rare point of cooperation between Moscow and Washington -- has been orbiting the Earth since 1998.But even the space station has proved a source of controversy in recent weeks.Russian space officials have said they are investigating whether a hole that caused an oxygen leak on the ISS was drilled deliberately by astronauts.The hole was detected in August and quickly sealed up, but Russian newspapers said Roscosmos was probing the possibility that US crewmates had sabotaged the space station to get a sick colleague sent back home.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas output returning to normal post storm-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 16, 2018
HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production is returning to near normal levels three days after Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Florida Panhandle, data from an offshore regulator showed on Saturday, with oil output off 19 percent and natural gas production down less than 10 percent.The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) also said in an midday update that only one evacuated production platform was still unoccupied, down from 89 platforms on Wednesday. It can take several days after a storm passes to inspect platforms for damages, fully return crews and restore production after wells are shut-in ahead of a storm.Michael entered the Gulf as a tropical storm and quickly spun into a major hurricane, producing rough seas and winds of up to 155 miles per hour (250 kph) when it made landfall near Panama City, Florida, on Wednesday.As of midday on Saturday, the storm had left at least 18 dead in four Southeast U.S. states and damages to communities in its path were estimated in the billions of dollars. It was one of the most powerful storms recorded in U.S. history.The Gulf production still offline on Saturday morning represented 330,394 barrels per day of oil production and 247 million cubic feet per day of natural gas output, BSEE reported from a survey of 17 oil and gas producers. In all, Michael cost Gulf producers about 3.27 million barrels of oil this week.Offshore production in federal waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico accounts for 17 percent of total U.S. crude output and 5 percent of national natural gas production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.BSEE said its Saturday survey of producers showed that all drilling rigs and vessels that had been evacuated or moved to safer areas of the Gulf ahead of the storm were reoccupied and back at their drilling positions.(Reporting by Gary McWilliams; Editing by Marguerita Choy)
Crowbars, cadaver dogs in search for survivors, bodies after Florida hurricane-[Reuters]-By Rod Nickel-YAHOONEWS-October 16, 2018
MEXICO BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - Search and rescue volunteers have located hundreds of people reported missing in the U.S. Southeast after Hurricane Michael tore through their Florida Panhandle communities, but the death toll of at least 18 was expected to rise.Crews heard cries for help and crowbarred into a mobile home crumpled by the storm in Panama City, freeing a mother and daughter, both diabetics who had been trapped in a closet without insulin for two days and were on the verge of diabetic shock, rescuers said on Saturday."We had another lady who was on her last tank of oxygen. No cell phone, no power, no nothing. There are people out here on dialysis, but there is no power," said Taylor Fontenot, 29, a roofing contractor from Sugar Land, Texas, and founder of 50 Star SAR, a volunteer search and rescue organization.In door-to-door searches, teams consisting mostly of off-duty police officers and firefighters have found more than 520 of the 2,100 people reported missing since Michael crashed ashore near Mexico Beach, Florida, on Wednesday as one of the most powerful storms in U.S. history."We expect that number to go up dramatically today," said Matthew Marchetti, co-founder of the Houston-based CrowdSource Rescue, adding that hopes were raised by an influx of volunteers on the weekend and the restoration of power in some areas."Volunteers are working side-by-side with first responders. They are cutting holes in roofs. They try to take a picture so we can call the family and tell them we made contact," he said.But as roads were cleared to allow wider searches, the death toll was expected to mount. As of Saturday, authorities were reporting at least 18 deaths in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.Rescue teams, hampered by power and telephone outages, used cadaver dogs, drones and heavy equipment to hunt for people in the rubble.Fontenot, who said he alerts authorities when he finds corpses, has a cadaver dog with his group."When we pulled into Mexico Beach, she was trying to jump out the window because she smelled so many bodies," he said.In Callaway, Florida, an especially hard-hit town, Catholic Christians barbecued hamburgers on Saturday and Scientologists handed out water."I'm homeless," said nursing assistant Carla Covington, 45, who is caring for her mother and two children after their house was destroyed by falling trees.She said it felt good to receive comfort, but was also hard."I'm used to helping people and not asking for help," she said, her voice breaking with emotion.Panama City port worker Josh Jackson, 29, had three cars damaged. The rented home he lived in with his girlfriend and son was wrecked, as were their possessions."I lost everything so I got to start over," he said near a tent in a parking lot where a Geico insurance agent was taking claims. Jackson said he plans to move to a community that was not so badly hit, but was concerned that delays processing his insurance claim might hold him up.Michael ripped most of two walls out from the red-brick St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Panama City, but parishioners spent Saturday handing out food, water and clothes to others."Our whole city was hit. There has got be a way it can recover," said Jo Ann Sutter, 73, a volunteer who was married in the church. "We will."The tropical storm, which grew in less than two days into a Category 4 hurricane, tore apart entire neighborhoods.More than 1,700 search and rescue workers were deployed, including seven swift-water rescue teams and nearly 300 ambulances, Florida Governor Rick Scott's office said.Power and phone service were being slowly restored, with about 236,000 homes and businesses still without power in North Carolina, down from a peak of more than 600,000, said spokesman Keith Acree of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.It could be weeks before power is restored to the most damaged parts of Florida.(Reporting by Rod Nickel; Additional reporting by Devika Krishna Kumar in Port St. Joe, Florida, Barbara Goldberg in New York, and Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee; Editing by Clelia Oziel and Daniel Wallis)
Hurricane Michael's death toll rises to 17: 'We were just surprised by the sheer damage'-[Good Morning America]-MARK OSBORNE-YAHOONEWS-October 14, 2018
Hurricane Michael's death toll climbed to 17 on Friday as search-and-rescue crews continue to sift through the wreckage of once-bustling oceanside cities, like Mexico Beach and Panama City Beach, four days after the storm came ashore.Mexico Beach was largely decimated when Michael made landfall there Wednesday as a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph."There are individuals who are deceased. We do not have a count, but we are working to identify them," Miami Fire Chief Joseph Zahralban, leader of a search-and-rescue team in Mexico Beach, told The Associated Press.One body was found in the wreckage of a home in the town on Friday, but teams planned to be back out to comb through the debris on Saturday.Of the 17 killed in the storm, eight were located in Florida. Four people died in Gadsden County and three died in Jackson County, in addition to one recovered so far in Mexico Beach, located in Bay County. Jackson County Emergency Management Agency Director Rodney Andreasen said one of the fatalities in Jackson County occurred when a man was struck by a tree in Alford.FEMA Administrator Brock Long warned on Friday that the death toll will likely climb."I hope we don’t see that climb dramatically, but ... we still haven’t gotten into some of the hardest-hit areas," he said.Ray Jadallah, from the Miami-Dade County Florida Task Force 1, has spent the last two days -- 20 hours a day -- digging through debris in Mexico Beach. He said they are ignoring intact structures and painstakingly going door to door at collapsed buildings, first making noise to alert anyone who could be inside that they are not looters, and then sending in a cadaver dog to search for any bodies.So far, they have located just one dead body, a relative relief for Jadallah, who did the same work following Hurricane Katrina when they found "numerous victims." The destruction in Bay County has largely been from wind damage, as opposed to the flooding during Katrina."We were just surprised by the sheer damage," Jadallah said of arriving in Mexico Beach after Hurricane Michael. "Literally overnight it went from a Category 1 or 2 to a Category 4, almost borderline 5. This type of destruction we haven't seen since I was a kid and that was Hurricane Andrew. This is pretty extensive, the damage. It's going to take some time for them to get back on their feet."Hurricane Andrew killed 44 people in South Florida when it made landfall near Homestead on Aug. 24, 1992.About 285 people defied mandatory evacuation orders in Mexico Beach. Police made two sweeps of the town Wednesday morning and recorded names of everyone who planned to stay, though officials said it is impossible to know who might have left during or immediately after the storm."We don't have a building -- from my understanding the water surge moved it off its foundation," Mexico Beach Police Chief Anthony Kelly told ABC News Friday. "The officers, I finally made accountability of them all today, two days after the fact. ... They're not just my officers, the people that I work with, they're my family."Neighboring Panama City was hit just as hard as Mexico Beach. Many survivors told of hunkering down in their homes as they were torn apart by the 150 mph winds."I decided to stay because my family decided to evacuate, but the pets had to stay here," Panama City resident John Pandullo said. "They didn’t have a place to go. So I wanted to protect them or be there for them in case something like this happened -- and it did."Pandullo rode out the storm in a closet with his dog, Rosie, as the house literally collapsed around him. The roof caved in and the living room and garage of his parents' home no longer exist."It was just so crazy and it’s just so bad," he said. "The dog was right here and she would not leave my side and she would not move. She was shaking extremely bad. And the winds were coming in and the rain was all pouring down on us and basically I waited for over an hour."I managed to make a phone call actually at the peak of the storm, and I was actually able to talk with my parents at the time," Pandullo continued. "And my mom was praying with Jesus on the phone about it the whole time you know -- 'Please let him be alive.'"Five people, including a firefighter, died in Virginia as flooding caused massive damage in an area already hard hit by Hurricane Florence last month.

Iran facilitating banned Somali charcoal exports, UN report says-Monitor: False certificates for products generating millions for al-Qaeda-linked group ‘evidently issued through official channels’-By Jennifer Peltz-TOI-OCT 16,18
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Banned charcoal exports from Somalia are thriving, generating millions of dollars a year for al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab — and often passing through Iran to have their origins obscured, according to UN sanctions monitors.Six years after the UN Security Council prohibited exports of prized Somali charcoal to try to choke off a money stream to al-Shabab, an estimated three million bags of the commodity are making their way out of the Horn of Africa country each year, the monitors say in excerpts of a yet-unpublished report seen by The Associated Press.The main destinations are ports in Iran, where the charcoal — already falsely labeled as coming from Comoros, Ghana, or Ivory Coast — is transferred from blue-green bags into white bags labeled “product of Iran,” the report says. The bags are then loaded on Iranian-flagged ships and sent to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with certificates claiming Iran as the charcoal’s country of origin.Iran “has been a weak link in implementation” of the charcoal ban, the monitors said, adding that Tehran largely didn’t cooperate with their investigation.The spokesman for Iran’s mission to the UN, Alireza Miryousefi, told the AP that “Iran fully implements the Security Council-imposed sanctions on Somalia, and accordingly precautionary measures have been taken to prevent their violations. Iran will continue its constructive cooperation with the relevant UN bodies in this regard.”There was no immediate response to inquiries made with the UAE’s UN mission. The monitors credited the UAE with seizing some Somali charcoal but said the Persian Gulf country didn’t “substantively engage” with their questions about the shipments allegedly made through Iran.There was no immediate response on Saturday from Somali officials.Made from acacia trees, charcoal from Somalia is cherished in Gulf nations for the sweet aroma it lends to grilled meats and to tobacco burned in water pipes.It’s also highly valued by the Somalia-based al-Shabab, which effectively taxes the charcoal at checkpoints, according to the UN monitors tasked with assessing compliance with sanctions on Somalia and Eritrea.The monitors say the checkpoint payments yield at least $7.5 million a year for al-Shabab, which a year ago carried out the deadliest terror attack in sub-Saharan Africa’s history. The October 2017 truck bombing killed at least 512 people in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.At a UN-sponsored summit in May on the illicit charcoal exports, Somali officials asked for international cooperation to stop them, saying they fuel insecurity by channeling money to extremists and worsen environmental degradation as trees are cut down in a country already vulnerable to drought, flood and famine.“We need cooperation to implement the UN Security Council [sanctions] resolution and ensure the environmental, economic and human losses that happen because of illegal charcoal trade are curbed,” Deputy Prime Minister Mahdi Mohamed Guled told the gathering.The excerpts of the monitors’ report seen by the AP don’t specify what individuals or groups may be involved in the illicit charcoal trade, aside from al-Shabab’s de facto tax collectors. The group controls parts of southern and central Somalia and continues to target high-profile areas of the capital with suicide bombings.The report says some of the fake origin certificates for the exported charcoal are outright forgeries, made without any official involvement from the relevant nations. But others, such as the Iran certificates, are “evidently issued through official channels,” the monitors said.The monitors said other countries such as Ghana and Ivory Coast “have allowed charcoal traffickers to exploit weaknesses” in their systems for issuing such certificates and “bear some responsibility” for the patchy enforcement of sanctions.
Iran MP calls to lobby ‘anti-Trump movements’ in US to reduce sanctions’ impact-Heshmatollah Falahat-Pisheh says negotiations with American factions who oppose the president could help alleviate economic pressures-By AFP-TOI-OCT 16,18
TEHRAN — One of Iran’s top foreign policy officials has called for negotiations with “anti-Trump movements” in the US to dampen the impact of sanctions, local media reported Saturday.“America is not Trump,” said Heshmatollah Falahat-Pisheh, a conservative lawmaker who heads parliament’s influential national security and foreign policy commission, according to reformist newspaper Arman.“There is a new diplomatic atmosphere for deescalation with America and it is fitting that Iran follows negotiation diplomacy and lobbying anti-Trump movements in America,” he added.He said this would help alleviate pressure caused by Washington’s “extensive sanction-focused force.”The US pulled out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal in May and reimposed punishing sanctions on the country, hoping to pressure Tehran into what President Donald Trump calls a “better deal.”The US is due to complete the re-imposition of sanctions on November 5, targeting Iran’s oil sector and central bank.Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has dismissed Trump’s offers to talk as “a dangerous game.”But Mehdi Motaharnia, a Tehran-based political analyst, described Falahat-Pisheh’s proposal as “very meaningful” since it signifies a potential shift in conservatives’ stance on talking with the US.“This comes from a conservative whose party members called (Foreign Minister Mohammad) Javad Zarif a traitor for negotiating with the US,” Motaharnia told reformist daily Hamdeli.“But now we do not see such reactions when the head of national security and foreign policy commission proposes talks,” he added.
Turkish newspaper says Jamal Khashoggi’s slaying recorded on his Apple Watch-Account alleges Saudi operatives tried to delete the audio recordings by using the journalist’s finger; however the devices do not have a fingerprint ID unlock function-By ZEYNEP BILGINSOY and Jon Gambrell-TOI-OCT 15,18
ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkish officials have an audio recording of the alleged killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi from the Apple Watch he wore when he walked into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul over a week ago, a pro-government Turkish newspaper reported Saturday.The new claim published by the Sabah newspaper, through which Turkish security officials have leaked much information about the case, didn’t immediately explain how officials there also reportedly have video of Khashoggi’s alleged slaying.However, it put more pressure on Saudi Arabia to explain what happened to Khashoggi, who has written critically about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after he walked into the consulate October 2. The kingdom has maintained the allegations against it are “baseless,” though an official early Saturday acknowledged for the first time some believe Khashoggi was killed by the kingdom.Authorities recovered the audio from Khashoggi’s iPhone and his iCloud account, the newspaper said. The journalist had given his phones to his fiancée before entering the consulate.The newspaper also alleged Saudi officials tried to delete the recordings first by incorrectly guessing Khashoggi’s PIN on the watch, then later using the journalist’s finger. However, Apple Watches do not have a fingerprint ID unlock function like iPhones. The newspaper did not address that in its report.An Apple Watch can record audio and can sync that later with an iPhone over a Bluetooth connection. The newspaper’s account did not elaborate on how the Apple Watch synced that information to both the phone and Khashoggi’s iCloud account.Turkish officials have not answered queries from The Associated Press about Khashoggi’s Apple Watch.Turkish officials say they believe a 15-member Saudi “assassination squad” killed Khashoggi at the consulate. They’ve also alleged that they have video of the slaying, but not explained how they have it.Turkey has yet to publish any evidence of him being slain, though surveillance footage around the consulate shows a convoy of vehicles with diplomatic license plates leaving the Saudi Consulate for the consul’s home in Istanbul a little under two hours after Khashoggi’s arrival.Saudi Arabia has said it had nothing to do with Khashoggi’s disappearance, without explaining or offering evidence of how the writer left the consulate and disappeared into Istanbul with his fiancée waiting outside. A Saudi-owned satellite news channel has begun referring to the 15-man team as “tourists,” without providing evidence to support the claim. It echoes how Russia has described the men who allegedly carried out the Novichok nerve agent poisonings in Salisbury, England, in March.Early on Saturday, the state-run Saudi Press Agency published a statement from Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud again denying the kingdom’s involvement. This time, however, it acknowledged for the first time that Saudi Arabia was accused of killing Khashoggi.“What has been circulating about orders to kill (Khashoggi) are lies and baseless allegations against the government of the kingdom, which is committed to its principles, rules and traditions and is in compliance with international laws and conventions,” Prince Abdulaziz said.Khashoggi’s disappearance has put pressure on US President Donald Trump, who has enjoyed close relations with the Saudis since entering office. Trump promised to personally call Saudi Arabia’s King Salman soon about “the terrible situation in Turkey.”“We’re going to find out what happened,” Trump pledged Friday when questioned by reporters in Cincinnati where he was headlining a political rally.Separately, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to Khashoggi’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, who accompanied him to the Saudi consulate, the State Department said Friday. No details of the conversation were released.In an interview Friday with The Associated Press, Cengiz said Khashoggi was not nervous when he entered the consulate to obtain paperwork required for their marriage.“He said, ‘See you later my darling,’ and went in,” she told the AP.In written responses to questions by the AP, Cengiz said Turkish authorities had not told her about any recordings and Khashoggi was officially “still missing.”She said investigators were examining his cellphones, which he had left with her.A delegation from Saudi Arabia arrived in Turkey on Friday as part of an investigation into the writer’s disappearance. In a statement posted on Twitter, the Saudis welcomed the joint effort and said the kingdom was keen “to sustain the security and safety of its citizenry, wherever they might happen to be.”Global business leaders also are reassessing their ties with Saudi Arabia, stoking pressure on the Gulf kingdom to explain what happened to Khashoggi.Khashoggi, who was considered close to the Saudi royal family, had become a critic of the current government and Prince Mohammed, the 33-year-old heir apparent who has shown little tolerance for criticism.As a contributor to the Post, Khashoggi has written extensively about Saudi Arabia, including criticism of its war in Yemen, its recent diplomatic spat with Canada and its arrest of women’s rights activists after the lifting of a ban on women driving.Those policies are all seen as initiatives of the crown prince, who has also presided over a roundup of activists and businessmen.

Canada makes final preparations before cannabis becomes legal-AFP Relax News-October 16, 2018-
From October 17, Canadians will be allowed to grow, possess and consume marijuana for recreational purposes.Canada will soon become the second country in the world to legalize cannabis -- with the provinces left to work out the details of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's landmark measure.From October 17, Canadians will be allowed to grow, possess and consume marijuana for recreational purposes -- five years after Uruguay passed pioneering legislation on the issue.Derivative products such as edibles, cosmetics and e-cigarette products containing pot will not be allowed until 2019.But nonetheless, legalization is expected to boost the Canadian economy, generating $816 million to $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter -- without taking into account the black market, which is expected to account for a quarter of all joints smoked in Canada, according to Statistics Canada.A $400 million tax revenue windfall is forecast as a result -- with the provinces, municipalities and federal government all getting a slice.In total, Statistics Canada says 5.4 million Canadians will buy cannabis in legal dispensaries in 2018 -- about 15 percent of the population. 4.9 million already smoke.And the world will be watching how Canada gets on."There is a lot of interest from our allies in what we're doing," Trudeau, who has admitted to smoking cannabis himself a handful of times, told AFP in May."They recognize that Canada is being daring... and recognize that the current regime (of prohibition) does not work, that it's not preventing young people from having easy access to cannabis."- Provinces decide -Preparations are underway ahead of the reform, promised by Trudeau's Liberal Party, with businesses and local authorities forced to review their rules and regulations.That's because even though the cannabis ban, in force since 1923, was overturned by the federal government, how legalization plays out in practice has been left to Canada's 10 provinces and three territories to decide.Several have already said they will not fully implement the law. For example, even though federal law will permit each household to grow up to four cannabis plants, central Manitoba and Quebec in the east say they will ban it -- and go all the way to the Supreme Court over the matter.Like with alcohol and tobacco, the question of legal age also falls to the provinces. Nineteen seems to be the standard, but it is 18 in Alberta -- while Quebec, whose new government will enter office the day after legalization, wants to raise the age to 21.With regards to sales, some provinces such as Quebec will implement a public monopoly -- while others, including Ontario and Nova Scotia, have decided to trust the market to the private sector.As for law enforcement, federal police will be ordered to abstain for 28 days before working, as will police in Toronto.Officers in Montreal, however, are simply asked to not show up to work high.Another issue for the provinces to mull over is open consumption, with Montreal deciding to impose the same rules as those for tobacco -- while people in other provinces will have to light up at home.

Trump vows ‘severe punishment’ if journalist was killed by Saudi Arabia-But president says he doesn’t want to limit US arms sales to Riyadh, even if kingdom found responsible for demise of Jamal Khashoggi-By AFP-TOI-OCT 16,18
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said Saudi Arabia could be behind the disappearance of missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi and warned Washington would inflict “severe punishment” if he was murdered.The Saudi critic has not been seen since he walked into the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul on October 2, with Turkish officials accusing Riyadh of murdering him inside the diplomatic mission.“We’re going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment,” Trump told CBS’s “60 Minutes” program, according to an excerpt of an interview that was released on Saturday.“As of this moment, they deny it and they deny it vehemently. Could it be them? Yes,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted on Thursday, when asked if Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia.The network said it will air the interview in full on Sunday evening.Trump added the matter was especially important “because this man was a reporter.”But when asked what options Trump would consider, the president said he was not keen to limit arms sales to the kingdom — a position he has previously voiced.“Well, it depends on what the sanction is,” he said.“I’ll give you an example — they are ordering military equipment. Everybody in the world wanted that order. Russia wanted it, China wanted it, we wanted it. We got it, and we got all of it, every bit of it.He added: “I’ll tell you what I don’t want to do. Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, I don’t want to hurt jobs. I don’t want to lose an order like that. And you know what, there are other ways of punishing, to use a word that’s a pretty harsh word, but it’s true.”
Hamas leader: We won’t halt Gaza marches for ‘diesel fuel and dollars’-Ismail Haniyeh says ‘blood of martyrs brings us closer to victory over Zionist enemy,’ vows ongoing fight until ‘siege on Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and all lands of Palestine is lifted’-By TOI staff-OCT 16,18
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that the violence at the Gaza border will continue until the “siege on Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and all the lands of Palestine is lifted.”“The strength of will and the determination of our people in the March of Return will lead to victory over the crimes of the occupation,” he said during funerals for those killed in the previous day’s border riots. “The blood of the martyrs brings us closer to victory over the Zionist enemy.”Israel on Friday halted the transfer of fuel to Gaza in response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence. Haniyeh said “our marches are not for diesel fuel and dollars, but a natural right of our people.”Seven Palestinians were reported killed in intense clashes with Israeli security forces along the Gaza border Friday afternoon, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Gaza media outlets said at least 150 protesters were injured.Earlier on Saturday minister and security cabinet member Yoav Gallant described the terrorist group as Israel’s “weakest and most aggressive enemy, a puppy that barks and shouts.”He slammed Hamas for its actions in Gaza, saying it was “using the blood of civilians to provoke international attention.”The army said Friday that assailants planted a bomb at the fence in the south of the Strip, blowing a hole in it. Some 20 Gazans then infiltrated the border and approached an IDF snipers’ post. Most turned back, but three who did not were shot and killed, the IDF said.Meanwhile, 10 fires broke out in southern Israel that were sparked by incendiary balloons launched over the border from Gaza as part of the ongoing protests. Heavy smoke from burning tires at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the northern Strip prompted authorities in Israel to order residents of the adjacent kibbutz to stay indoors as firefighters set up large fans to clear the smoke.In response to the violence Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman ordered a halt to the transfer of fuel into the Gaza Strip, only days after Israel began allowing hundreds of liters of fuel to be pumped into the Strip to allow increased power for residents.“Israel will not tolerate a situation in which fuel is allowed into Gaza while terror and violence is used against IDF soldiers and citizens,” a statement from his office said.In recent days Qatari-bought fuel had begun entering the Strip to allow operation of its only power station, in a bid to alleviate conditions in the blockaded Palestinian enclave. Hundreds of liters of fuel have since passed into the territory.Israel facilitated the delivery over the objections of the Palestinian Authority, hoping it would help ease months of protests and clashes.A Qatari official told the Reuters news agency that the $60 million fuel donation came “at the request of donor states in the United Nations, to prevent an escalation of the existing humanitarian disaster.”For months residents of the strip have been receiving only four hours of electricity a day on average. Jamie McGoldrick, the UN’s resident humanitarian coordinator, told the Reuters news agency the delivery will add a few more hours of electricity to Gaza’s 2 million residents.Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas’s Palestinian Authority in a 2007 near civil war and multiple reconciliation attempts aimed at restoring the PA to power in Gaza have failed.Abbas says that making deals with Hamas amounts to recognizing their control over Gaza in place of the PA and has sought to block the fuel deliveries. He has reportedly threatened to cut off funds to Gaza in response to the fuel transfers.Israel fears further deterioration in Gaza could lead to another round of war on the southern border.Both Israel and Egypt enforce restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to keep Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip from arming or building military infrastructure.Agencies contributed to this report.
Minister: ‘Hamas is a weak and aggressive enemy — a barking and shouting puppy’-After 7 killed in violent riots at border Friday, Yoav Gallant warns terrorist group it will pay a heavy price if Gaza aggression continues-By TOI staff-OCT 16,18
Housing and Construction Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday slammed Hamas for its actions in Gaza, saying it is “using the blood of civilians to provoke international attention.”A member of the security cabinet, Gallant told an event in Tel Aviv that Israel will not back down in the face of the actions of the terrorist group.“If Hamas continues its provocations and this deteriorates into terrorist acts as we have seen, we will take the gloves off,” he threatened, according to Hadashot news. “Hamas will pay a heavy price,” he said.Gallant, who headed the IDF Southern Command between 2005 and 2010, which included Operation Cast Lead — the three-week-long Gaza war that lasted from late 2008 until early 2009 — claimed the balance of power in the conflict remains in Israel’s hands at a scale of “one thousand to one.”“They are our weakest and most aggressive enemy, a puppy that barks and shouts,” he said.However Gallant maintained that Israel does not want a war and that Hamas has the ability to resolve the situation, after noting that the IDF was instructed to use minimal possible force against Gaza protesters.“If you are forced into a reality where you have to use force, you have to fall on the enemy with great force,” he said. “We have not yet reached this point — but we do not rule out that it could happen.”In response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence on Friday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman ordered a halt to the transfer of fuel into the Gaza Strip, only days after Israel began allowing hundreds of liters of fuel to be pumped into the Strip to allow increased power for residents.“Israel will not tolerate a situation in which fuel is allowed into Gaza while terror and violence is used against IDF soldiers and citizens,” a statement from his office said.Seven Palestinians were reportedly killed in intense clashes with Israeli security forces along the Gaza border Friday afternoon, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Gaza media outlets said at least 50 protesters were injured by Israeli fire.In the worst incident, the army said Gaza assailants planted a bomb near the fence in the southern part of the Strip, blowing a hole in the barrier, and that 20 Gazans then burst through it. Most turned back, but three of them who approached an IDF snipers’ post were shot and killed.Meanwhile, 10 fires broke out in southern Israel that were sparked by incendiary balloons launched over the border from Gaza as part of the ongoing protests. Heavy smoke from burning tires at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the northern Strip prompted authorities in Israel to order residents of the adjacent kibbutz to stay indoors as firefighters set up large fans to clear the smoke.Channel 10 news military analyst Alon Ben-David said Israel had seen Friday as a test for Hamas, which had been expected to temper border protests in response to Israel allowing the transfer of fuel into the Strip. Hamas had failed this test, he said.In recent days Qatari-bought fuel had begun entering the Strip to allow operation of its only power station, in a bid to alleviate conditions in the blockaded Palestinian enclave. Hundreds of liters of fuel have since passed into the territory.Israel has facilitated the delivery over the objections of the Palestinian Authority, hoping it will help ease months of protests and clashes.A Qatari official told the Reuters news agency that the $60 million fuel donation came “at the request of donor states in the United Nations, to prevent an escalation of the existing humanitarian disaster.”For months residents of the strip have been receiving only four hours of electricity a day on average. Jamie McGoldrick, the UN’s resident humanitarian coordinator, told the Reuters news agency the delivery will add a few more hours of electricity to Gaza’s 2 million residents.But it was met with criticism by officials close to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whose rival administration was not involved.Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas’s Palestinian Authority in a 2007 near civil war and multiple reconciliation attempts aimed at restoring the PA to power in Gaza have failed.Abbas says that making deals with Hamas amounts to recognizing their control over Gaza in place of the PA and has sought to block the fuel deliveriesIn a statement Tuesday Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior official close to Abbas, threatened retaliatory measures if the fuel deliveries continued.Abbas has reportedly threatened to cut off funds to Gaza in response to the fuel transfers.“When Qatar pays for the fuel, Hamas in Gaza will collect the bills and put it in its pocket, and this is an indirect financial aid to Hamas,” a PA official said Saturday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.Israel fears further deterioration in Gaza could lead to another round of war on the southern border.The halt of some $96 million that the PA sends monthly to the Gaza Strip could drive a desperate and cash-strapped Hamas toward conflict with Israel as a means of propping up its rule, and in the hope that bloodshed could generate sympathy for Gaza and reverse or replace the cut in aid from the US and Ramallah for Gazan welfare and development, Israeli officials believe.Israel also worries that a spike in violence in the south could easily spread to the West Bank.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Abbas was exacerbating Gaza woes and thereby fueling its residents’ aggression toward Israel.“Abbas is strangling them economically and they lash out at Israel,” he told a press conference in his Jerusalem office.Netanyahu did not specifically refer to the oil shipment but spoke of “attempts to reach a practical solution so that he will stop this strangulation.”He said that if Gaza tensions reached a boiling point and brought an uptick in attacks on neighboring southern Israel “the price they will pay will be very great.”“I’m not looking to launch unnecessary wars,” he said. “But if there’s no alternative you wage war with all your strength.”Both Israel and Egypt enforce a number of restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to keep Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip from arming or building military infrastructure.But the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened steadily, and Hamas’s reconciliation talks with the Palestinian Authority have broken down.Agencies contributed to this report.
Russia probes ISS rocket failure-[AFP]-Kirill KUDRYAVTSEV in Baikonur with Theo MERZ in Moscow-YAHOONEWS-October 15, 2018
Baikonur (Kazakhstan) (AFP) - Russian investigators have launched a probe into why a Soyuz rocket failed shortly after blast-off, in a major setback for Russia's beleaguered space industry.US astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin were forced to make an emergency landing after the incident on Thursday, but were rescued without injury in Kazakhstan.Russian officials said they were launching a criminal investigation into the accident, the first such incident on a manned flight in the country's post-Soviet history.The Russian space industry has suffered a series of problems in recent years, including the loss of a number of satellites and spacecraft. Officials said they would suspend manned launches in light of the latest accident."The emergency rescue system worked, the vessel was able to land in Kazakhstan... the crew are alive," the Russian space agency Roscosmos said in a tweet."An accident with the booster, two minutes, 45 seconds," the voice of Ovchinin could be heard saying calmly in live-streamed footage of the launch from Kazakhstan's Baikonur cosmodrome.The incident came as the rocket was travelling about 4,700 miles (7,500 kilometres) per hour, just 119 seconds into the voyage, according to NASA."Shortly after launch, there was an anomaly with the booster and the launch ascent was aborted, resulting in a ballistic landing of the spacecraft," the US space agency said in a statement.The descent was sharper than usual, meaning the crew were subjected to a greater G-force, but they were prepared for this scenario in training, according to a commentator on NASA's video livestream of the launch."We're tightening our seatbelts," Ovchinin said in the video."That was a short flight."- Documents seized in probe -Rescue workers reached the site of the emergency landing and evacuated Ovchinin and Hague.Photos released by Russian government and NASA Twitter accounts later showed the men embracing their families and enjoying a hearty Russian meal back on the ground.Russia is currently the only country taking crew to and from the ISS.The European Space Agency, whose astronaut Alexander Gerst is on the ISS, said in a statement that "the aborted launch will have influence on the planning for the near future".Stefan Beransky, editor of the specialist Aerospatium magazine and author of a book on the Soyuz rocket, said now "the main problem is that there are two fewer people at the station"."As we wait for the conclusions of a Russian probe, the Soyuz will perhaps be grounded for some time," he told AFP.Russia's Investigative Committee said a criminal probe would seek to determine whether safety regulations had been violated during construction, causing major damage."Officials are currently examining the launch site, documents are being seized," it said in a statement."Thank God the cosmonauts are alive," Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.Kenny Todd, operations integration manager at the International Space Station said he "had every confidence that our Russian colleagues will figure out what's going on".There have been two similar Soviet-era accidents involving the Soyuz spacecraft, which are still used to ferry crews to and from the ISS.In 1975, Oleg Makarov and Vasily Lazarev made a successful emergency landing in Siberia's Altai mountains following problems during booster separation.Vladimir Titov and Gennady Strekalov survived a fire during launch in Kazakhstan in 1983.Former military pilots Ovchinin and Hague had been set to join the ESA's Gerst, NASA's Serena Aunon-Chancellor and Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos following a six-hour flight.- Hole on the ISS -The International Space Station -- a rare point of cooperation between Moscow and Washington -- has been orbiting the Earth since 1998.But even the space station has proved a source of controversy in recent weeks.Russian space officials have said they are investigating whether a hole that caused an oxygen leak on the ISS was drilled deliberately by astronauts.The hole was detected in August and quickly sealed up, but Russian newspapers said Roscosmos was probing the possibility that US crewmates had sabotaged the space station to get a sick colleague sent back home.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas output returning to normal post storm-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 16, 2018
HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production is returning to near normal levels three days after Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Florida Panhandle, data from an offshore regulator showed on Saturday, with oil output off 19 percent and natural gas production down less than 10 percent.The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) also said in an midday update that only one evacuated production platform was still unoccupied, down from 89 platforms on Wednesday. It can take several days after a storm passes to inspect platforms for damages, fully return crews and restore production after wells are shut-in ahead of a storm.Michael entered the Gulf as a tropical storm and quickly spun into a major hurricane, producing rough seas and winds of up to 155 miles per hour (250 kph) when it made landfall near Panama City, Florida, on Wednesday.As of midday on Saturday, the storm had left at least 18 dead in four Southeast U.S. states and damages to communities in its path were estimated in the billions of dollars. It was one of the most powerful storms recorded in U.S. history.The Gulf production still offline on Saturday morning represented 330,394 barrels per day of oil production and 247 million cubic feet per day of natural gas output, BSEE reported from a survey of 17 oil and gas producers. In all, Michael cost Gulf producers about 3.27 million barrels of oil this week.Offshore production in federal waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico accounts for 17 percent of total U.S. crude output and 5 percent of national natural gas production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.BSEE said its Saturday survey of producers showed that all drilling rigs and vessels that had been evacuated or moved to safer areas of the Gulf ahead of the storm were reoccupied and back at their drilling positions.(Reporting by Gary McWilliams; Editing by Marguerita Choy)
Crowbars, cadaver dogs in search for survivors, bodies after Florida hurricane-[Reuters]-By Rod Nickel-YAHOONEWS-October 16, 2018
MEXICO BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - Search and rescue volunteers have located hundreds of people reported missing in the U.S. Southeast after Hurricane Michael tore through their Florida Panhandle communities, but the death toll of at least 18 was expected to rise.Crews heard cries for help and crowbarred into a mobile home crumpled by the storm in Panama City, freeing a mother and daughter, both diabetics who had been trapped in a closet without insulin for two days and were on the verge of diabetic shock, rescuers said on Saturday."We had another lady who was on her last tank of oxygen. No cell phone, no power, no nothing. There are people out here on dialysis, but there is no power," said Taylor Fontenot, 29, a roofing contractor from Sugar Land, Texas, and founder of 50 Star SAR, a volunteer search and rescue organization.In door-to-door searches, teams consisting mostly of off-duty police officers and firefighters have found more than 520 of the 2,100 people reported missing since Michael crashed ashore near Mexico Beach, Florida, on Wednesday as one of the most powerful storms in U.S. history."We expect that number to go up dramatically today," said Matthew Marchetti, co-founder of the Houston-based CrowdSource Rescue, adding that hopes were raised by an influx of volunteers on the weekend and the restoration of power in some areas."Volunteers are working side-by-side with first responders. They are cutting holes in roofs. They try to take a picture so we can call the family and tell them we made contact," he said.But as roads were cleared to allow wider searches, the death toll was expected to mount. As of Saturday, authorities were reporting at least 18 deaths in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.Rescue teams, hampered by power and telephone outages, used cadaver dogs, drones and heavy equipment to hunt for people in the rubble.Fontenot, who said he alerts authorities when he finds corpses, has a cadaver dog with his group."When we pulled into Mexico Beach, she was trying to jump out the window because she smelled so many bodies," he said.In Callaway, Florida, an especially hard-hit town, Catholic Christians barbecued hamburgers on Saturday and Scientologists handed out water."I'm homeless," said nursing assistant Carla Covington, 45, who is caring for her mother and two children after their house was destroyed by falling trees.She said it felt good to receive comfort, but was also hard."I'm used to helping people and not asking for help," she said, her voice breaking with emotion.Panama City port worker Josh Jackson, 29, had three cars damaged. The rented home he lived in with his girlfriend and son was wrecked, as were their possessions."I lost everything so I got to start over," he said near a tent in a parking lot where a Geico insurance agent was taking claims. Jackson said he plans to move to a community that was not so badly hit, but was concerned that delays processing his insurance claim might hold him up.Michael ripped most of two walls out from the red-brick St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Panama City, but parishioners spent Saturday handing out food, water and clothes to others."Our whole city was hit. There has got be a way it can recover," said Jo Ann Sutter, 73, a volunteer who was married in the church. "We will."The tropical storm, which grew in less than two days into a Category 4 hurricane, tore apart entire neighborhoods.More than 1,700 search and rescue workers were deployed, including seven swift-water rescue teams and nearly 300 ambulances, Florida Governor Rick Scott's office said.Power and phone service were being slowly restored, with about 236,000 homes and businesses still without power in North Carolina, down from a peak of more than 600,000, said spokesman Keith Acree of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.It could be weeks before power is restored to the most damaged parts of Florida.(Reporting by Rod Nickel; Additional reporting by Devika Krishna Kumar in Port St. Joe, Florida, Barbara Goldberg in New York, and Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee; Editing by Clelia Oziel and Daniel Wallis)
Hurricane Michael's death toll rises to 17: 'We were just surprised by the sheer damage'-[Good Morning America]-MARK OSBORNE-YAHOONEWS-October 14, 2018
Hurricane Michael's death toll climbed to 17 on Friday as search-and-rescue crews continue to sift through the wreckage of once-bustling oceanside cities, like Mexico Beach and Panama City Beach, four days after the storm came ashore.Mexico Beach was largely decimated when Michael made landfall there Wednesday as a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph."There are individuals who are deceased. We do not have a count, but we are working to identify them," Miami Fire Chief Joseph Zahralban, leader of a search-and-rescue team in Mexico Beach, told The Associated Press.One body was found in the wreckage of a home in the town on Friday, but teams planned to be back out to comb through the debris on Saturday.Of the 17 killed in the storm, eight were located in Florida. Four people died in Gadsden County and three died in Jackson County, in addition to one recovered so far in Mexico Beach, located in Bay County. Jackson County Emergency Management Agency Director Rodney Andreasen said one of the fatalities in Jackson County occurred when a man was struck by a tree in Alford.FEMA Administrator Brock Long warned on Friday that the death toll will likely climb."I hope we don’t see that climb dramatically, but ... we still haven’t gotten into some of the hardest-hit areas," he said.Ray Jadallah, from the Miami-Dade County Florida Task Force 1, has spent the last two days -- 20 hours a day -- digging through debris in Mexico Beach. He said they are ignoring intact structures and painstakingly going door to door at collapsed buildings, first making noise to alert anyone who could be inside that they are not looters, and then sending in a cadaver dog to search for any bodies.So far, they have located just one dead body, a relative relief for Jadallah, who did the same work following Hurricane Katrina when they found "numerous victims." The destruction in Bay County has largely been from wind damage, as opposed to the flooding during Katrina."We were just surprised by the sheer damage," Jadallah said of arriving in Mexico Beach after Hurricane Michael. "Literally overnight it went from a Category 1 or 2 to a Category 4, almost borderline 5. This type of destruction we haven't seen since I was a kid and that was Hurricane Andrew. This is pretty extensive, the damage. It's going to take some time for them to get back on their feet."Hurricane Andrew killed 44 people in South Florida when it made landfall near Homestead on Aug. 24, 1992.About 285 people defied mandatory evacuation orders in Mexico Beach. Police made two sweeps of the town Wednesday morning and recorded names of everyone who planned to stay, though officials said it is impossible to know who might have left during or immediately after the storm."We don't have a building -- from my understanding the water surge moved it off its foundation," Mexico Beach Police Chief Anthony Kelly told ABC News Friday. "The officers, I finally made accountability of them all today, two days after the fact. ... They're not just my officers, the people that I work with, they're my family."Neighboring Panama City was hit just as hard as Mexico Beach. Many survivors told of hunkering down in their homes as they were torn apart by the 150 mph winds."I decided to stay because my family decided to evacuate, but the pets had to stay here," Panama City resident John Pandullo said. "They didn’t have a place to go. So I wanted to protect them or be there for them in case something like this happened -- and it did."Pandullo rode out the storm in a closet with his dog, Rosie, as the house literally collapsed around him. The roof caved in and the living room and garage of his parents' home no longer exist."It was just so crazy and it’s just so bad," he said. "The dog was right here and she would not leave my side and she would not move. She was shaking extremely bad. And the winds were coming in and the rain was all pouring down on us and basically I waited for over an hour."I managed to make a phone call actually at the peak of the storm, and I was actually able to talk with my parents at the time," Pandullo continued. "And my mom was praying with Jesus on the phone about it the whole time you know -- 'Please let him be alive.'"Five people, including a firefighter, died in Virginia as flooding caused massive damage in an area already hard hit by Hurricane Florence last month. Three people died in North Carolina, all due to falling trees, and a young girl was killed in Georgia when debris was blown through the roof of her grandparents' home.There were still 1.3 million customers without power across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Virginia as of 5 a.m. Saturday.ABC News' Rob Marciano, Will Carr, William Gretsky and Acacia Nunes contributed to this report.

Iran facilitating banned Somali charcoal exports, UN report says-Monitor: False certificates for products generating millions for al-Qaeda-linked group ‘evidently issued through official channels’-By Jennifer Peltz-TOI-OCT 16,18
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Banned charcoal exports from Somalia are thriving, generating millions of dollars a year for al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab — and often passing through Iran to have their origins obscured, according to UN sanctions monitors.Six years after the UN Security Council prohibited exports of prized Somali charcoal to try to choke off a money stream to al-Shabab, an estimated three million bags of the commodity are making their way out of the Horn of Africa country each year, the monitors say in excerpts of a yet-unpublished report seen by The Associated Press.The main destinations are ports in Iran, where the charcoal — already falsely labeled as coming from Comoros, Ghana, or Ivory Coast — is transferred from blue-green bags into white bags labeled “product of Iran,” the report says. The bags are then loaded on Iranian-flagged ships and sent to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with certificates claiming Iran as the charcoal’s country of origin.Iran “has been a weak link in implementation” of the charcoal ban, the monitors said, adding that Tehran largely didn’t cooperate with their investigation.The spokesman for Iran’s mission to the UN, Alireza Miryousefi, told the AP that “Iran fully implements the Security Council-imposed sanctions on Somalia, and accordingly precautionary measures have been taken to prevent their violations. Iran will continue its constructive cooperation with the relevant UN bodies in this regard.”There was no immediate response to inquiries made with the UAE’s UN mission. The monitors credited the UAE with seizing some Somali charcoal but said the Persian Gulf country didn’t “substantively engage” with their questions about the shipments allegedly made through Iran.There was no immediate response on Saturday from Somali officials.Made from acacia trees, charcoal from Somalia is cherished in Gulf nations for the sweet aroma it lends to grilled meats and to tobacco burned in water pipes.It’s also highly valued by the Somalia-based al-Shabab, which effectively taxes the charcoal at checkpoints, according to the UN monitors tasked with assessing compliance with sanctions on Somalia and Eritrea.The monitors say the checkpoint payments yield at least $7.5 million a year for al-Shabab, which a year ago carried out the deadliest terror attack in sub-Saharan Africa’s history. The October 2017 truck bombing killed at least 512 people in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.At a UN-sponsored summit in May on the illicit charcoal exports, Somali officials asked for international cooperation to stop them, saying they fuel insecurity by channeling money to extremists and worsen environmental degradation as trees are cut down in a country already vulnerable to drought, flood and famine.“We need cooperation to implement the UN Security Council [sanctions] resolution and ensure the environmental, economic and human losses that happen because of illegal charcoal trade are curbed,” Deputy Prime Minister Mahdi Mohamed Guled told the gathering.The excerpts of the monitors’ report seen by the AP don’t specify what individuals or groups may be involved in the illicit charcoal trade, aside from al-Shabab’s de facto tax collectors. The group controls parts of southern and central Somalia and continues to target high-profile areas of the capital with suicide bombings.The report says some of the fake origin certificates for the exported charcoal are outright forgeries, made without any official involvement from the relevant nations. But others, such as the Iran certificates, are “evidently issued through official channels,” the monitors said.The monitors said other countries such as Ghana and Ivory Coast “have allowed charcoal traffickers to exploit weaknesses” in their systems for issuing such certificates and “bear some responsibility” for the patchy enforcement of sanctions.
Iran MP calls to lobby ‘anti-Trump movements’ in US to reduce sanctions’ impact-Heshmatollah Falahat-Pisheh says negotiations with American factions who oppose the president could help alleviate economic pressures-By AFP-TOI-OCT 16,18
TEHRAN — One of Iran’s top foreign policy officials has called for negotiations with “anti-Trump movements” in the US to dampen the impact of sanctions, local media reported Saturday.“America is not Trump,” said Heshmatollah Falahat-Pisheh, a conservative lawmaker who heads parliament’s influential national security and foreign policy commission, according to reformist newspaper Arman.“There is a new diplomatic atmosphere for deescalation with America and it is fitting that Iran follows negotiation diplomacy and lobbying anti-Trump movements in America,” he added.He said this would help alleviate pressure caused by Washington’s “extensive sanction-focused force.”The US pulled out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal in May and reimposed punishing sanctions on the country, hoping to pressure Tehran into what President Donald Trump calls a “better deal.”The US is due to complete the re-imposition of sanctions on November 5, targeting Iran’s oil sector and central bank.Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has dismissed Trump’s offers to talk as “a dangerous game.”But Mehdi Motaharnia, a Tehran-based political analyst, described Falahat-Pisheh’s proposal as “very meaningful” since it signifies a potential shift in conservatives’ stance on talking with the US.“This comes from a conservative whose party members called (Foreign Minister Mohammad) Javad Zarif a traitor for negotiating with the US,” Motaharnia told reformist daily Hamdeli.“But now we do not see such reactions when the head of national security and foreign policy commission proposes talks,” he added.
Turkish newspaper says Jamal Khashoggi’s slaying recorded on his Apple Watch-Account alleges Saudi operatives tried to delete the audio recordings by using the journalist’s finger; however the devices do not have a fingerprint ID unlock function-By ZEYNEP BILGINSOY and Jon Gambrell-TOI-OCT 15,18
ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkish officials have an audio recording of the alleged killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi from the Apple Watch he wore when he walked into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul over a week ago, a pro-government Turkish newspaper reported Saturday.The new claim published by the Sabah newspaper, through which Turkish security officials have leaked much information about the case, didn’t immediately explain how officials there also reportedly have video of Khashoggi’s alleged slaying.However, it put more pressure on Saudi Arabia to explain what happened to Khashoggi, who has written critically about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after he walked into the consulate October 2. The kingdom has maintained the allegations against it are “baseless,” though an official early Saturday acknowledged for the first time some believe Khashoggi was killed by the kingdom.Authorities recovered the audio from Khashoggi’s iPhone and his iCloud account, the newspaper said. The journalist had given his phones to his fiancée before entering the consulate.The newspaper also alleged Saudi officials tried to delete the recordings first by incorrectly guessing Khashoggi’s PIN on the watch, then later using the journalist’s finger. However, Apple Watches do not have a fingerprint ID unlock function like iPhones. The newspaper did not address that in its report.An Apple Watch can record audio and can sync that later with an iPhone over a Bluetooth connection. The newspaper’s account did not elaborate on how the Apple Watch synced that information to both the phone and Khashoggi’s iCloud account.Turkish officials have not answered queries from The Associated Press about Khashoggi’s Apple Watch.Turkish officials say they believe a 15-member Saudi “assassination squad” killed Khashoggi at the consulate. They’ve also alleged that they have video of the slaying, but not explained how they have it.Turkey has yet to publish any evidence of him being slain, though surveillance footage around the consulate shows a convoy of vehicles with diplomatic license plates leaving the Saudi Consulate for the consul’s home in Istanbul a little under two hours after Khashoggi’s arrival.Saudi Arabia has said it had nothing to do with Khashoggi’s disappearance, without explaining or offering evidence of how the writer left the consulate and disappeared into Istanbul with his fiancée waiting outside. A Saudi-owned satellite news channel has begun referring to the 15-man team as “tourists,” without providing evidence to support the claim. It echoes how Russia has described the men who allegedly carried out the Novichok nerve agent poisonings in Salisbury, England, in March.Early on Saturday, the state-run Saudi Press Agency published a statement from Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud again denying the kingdom’s involvement. This time, however, it acknowledged for the first time that Saudi Arabia was accused of killing Khashoggi.“What has been circulating about orders to kill (Khashoggi) are lies and baseless allegations against the government of the kingdom, which is committed to its principles, rules and traditions and is in compliance with international laws and conventions,” Prince Abdulaziz said.Khashoggi’s disappearance has put pressure on US President Donald Trump, who has enjoyed close relations with the Saudis since entering office. Trump promised to personally call Saudi Arabia’s King Salman soon about “the terrible situation in Turkey.”“We’re going to find out what happened,” Trump pledged Friday when questioned by reporters in Cincinnati where he was headlining a political rally.Separately, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to Khashoggi’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, who accompanied him to the Saudi consulate, the State Department said Friday. No details of the conversation were released.In an interview Friday with The Associated Press, Cengiz said Khashoggi was not nervous when he entered the consulate to obtain paperwork required for their marriage.“He said, ‘See you later my darling,’ and went in,” she told the AP.In written responses to questions by the AP, Cengiz said Turkish authorities had not told her about any recordings and Khashoggi was officially “still missing.”She said investigators were examining his cellphones, which he had left with her.A delegation from Saudi Arabia arrived in Turkey on Friday as part of an investigation into the writer’s disappearance. In a statement posted on Twitter, the Saudis welcomed the joint effort and said the kingdom was keen “to sustain the security and safety of its citizenry, wherever they might happen to be.”Global business leaders also are reassessing their ties with Saudi Arabia, stoking pressure on the Gulf kingdom to explain what happened to Khashoggi.Khashoggi, who was considered close to the Saudi royal family, had become a critic of the current government and Prince Mohammed, the 33-year-old heir apparent who has shown little tolerance for criticism.As a contributor to the Post, Khashoggi has written extensively about Saudi Arabia, including criticism of its war in Yemen, its recent diplomatic spat with Canada and its arrest of women’s rights activists after the lifting of a ban on women driving.Those policies are all seen as initiatives of the crown prince, who has also presided over a roundup of activists and businessmen.
YOU CAN JUST CALL CANADA THE ZOMBIE JUNKIE COUNTRY AFTER A YEAR OR SO OF DRUGS LEGALIZED. JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE.
Canada makes final preparations before cannabis becomes legal-AFP Relax News-October 16, 2018-
From October 17, Canadians will be allowed to grow, possess and consume marijuana for recreational purposes.Canada will soon become the second country in the world to legalize cannabis -- with the provinces left to work out the details of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's landmark measure.From October 17, Canadians will be allowed to grow, possess and consume marijuana for recreational purposes -- five years after Uruguay passed pioneering legislation on the issue.Derivative products such as edibles, cosmetics and e-cigarette products containing pot will not be allowed until 2019.But nonetheless, legalization is expected to boost the Canadian economy, generating $816 million to $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter -- without taking into account the black market, which is expected to account for a quarter of all joints smoked in Canada, according to Statistics Canada.A $400 million tax revenue windfall is forecast as a result -- with the provinces, municipalities and federal government all getting a slice.In total, Statistics Canada says 5.4 million Canadians will buy cannabis in legal dispensaries in 2018 -- about 15 percent of the population. 4.9 million already smoke.And the world will be watching how Canada gets on."There is a lot of interest from our allies in what we're doing," Trudeau, who has admitted to smoking cannabis himself a handful of times, told AFP in May."They recognize that Canada is being daring... and recognize that the current regime (of prohibition) does not work, that it's not preventing young people from having easy access to cannabis."- Provinces decide -Preparations are underway ahead of the reform, promised by Trudeau's Liberal Party, with businesses and local authorities forced to review their rules and regulations.That's because even though the cannabis ban, in force since 1923, was overturned by the federal government, how legalization plays out in practice has been left to Canada's 10 provinces and three territories to decide.Several have already said they will not fully implement the law. For example, even though federal law will permit each household to grow up to four cannabis plants, central Manitoba and Quebec in the east say they will ban it -- and go all the way to the Supreme Court over the matter.Like with alcohol and tobacco, the question of legal age also falls to the provinces. Nineteen seems to be the standard, but it is 18 in Alberta -- while Quebec, whose new government will enter office the day after legalization, wants to raise the age to 21.With regards to sales, some provinces such as Quebec will implement a public monopoly -- while others, including Ontario and Nova Scotia, have decided to trust the market to the private sector.As for law enforcement, federal police will be ordered to abstain for 28 days before working, as will police in Toronto.Officers in Montreal, however, are simply asked to not show up to work high.Another issue for the provinces to mull over is open consumption, with Montreal deciding to impose the same rules as those for tobacco -- while people in other provinces will have to light up at home.
