After welcoming Sephardic Jews, Spain rejects thousands of citizenship requests-Madrid hasn’t responded to 17,000 others who are seeking Spanish nationality under 2015 law-By TOI staff and Agencies-JUL 25,21-Today, 3:08 am

Spain has been widely rejecting applications for citizenship by the descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from the country more than 500 years ago, according to The New York Times.The Spanish government has extended citizenship to 34,000 people since advancing the 2015 law to redress the “historical mistake” Spain committed when it forced its Jewish population to convert or go into exile in 1492.But according to The New York Times, which cited Spanish government data, while just a single applicant was denied citizenship before this year, 3,000 applications have been suddenly rejected in the past few months and 17,000 others have received no response.The Spanish Justice Ministry defended the rejections, telling the paper that those who met the criteria “are welcome again to their country, but similarly, those who don’t meet the requirements will see that their application is rejected just like they would be in any other process.”“It felt like a punch in the gut,” Maria Sánchez, 60, of New Mexico, whose application was rejected, told the paper. “You kicked my ancestors out, now you’re doing this again.”Both Portugal and Spain passed laws in 2015 granting citizenship to the descendants of Sephardic Jews, measures both governments said were intended to atone for the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from the Iberian Peninsula during the Inquisition.The window for the Spanish law was supposed to close in 2019, but has been extended until September 2021 for those who began the legal process. The Portuguese law is open-ended.In both countries, the government described the law as an act of atonement for the persecution and mass expulsion of Jews during the Inquisition that began in the 15th century. Many Jews were forcibly converted to Christianity.The term “Sephardic” literally means “Spanish” in Hebrew. It is estimated that Sephardic Jews range between a fifth and a third of the world’s roughly 13 million Jews. For centuries Sephardic Jewish communities have maintained their customs and the Ladino language.

Prime Minister’s Office had not disclosed the call-France’s Macron called Bennett to ensure Israel dealing with NSO claims – report-French president reportedly expressed concern Morocco allegedly among those that used spyware; PM said to respond conclusions will be reached, stresses it was before he took office-By TOI staff and AFP-24 July 2021, 10:06 pm

French President Emmanuel Macron called Prime Minister Naftali Bennett personally this week to make sure the Israeli government was properly looking into allegations involving spyware developed by Israel’s NSO Group, Channel 12 news reported on Saturday.Macron asked Bennett to ensure the issue was being taken seriously, according to the report, and expressed concern that Morocco was allegedly among the governments said to have used the powerful spyware developed by the Israeli company.In the unsourced report, Channel 12 said Bennett made clear that the events occurred before he took office in May and that the required conclusions on the matter will be reached.The Prime Minister’s Office had not disclosed the call with Macron and there was no formal confirmation of the call as of Saturday evening.According to an in-depth investigation by 17 news organizations this week, Pegasus has been implicated in possible mass surveillance of journalists, human rights defenders and 14 heads of state, whose phone numbers were among some 50,000 potential surveillance targets on a list leaked to rights group Amnesty International and Paris-based Forbidden Stories.The investigation, titled the Pegasus Project, identified at least 180 journalists in 20 countries who were selected for potential targeting between 2016 and June 2021.Macron called an urgent national security meeting on Thursday to discuss the Israeli-made Pegasus spyware, after reports about its use in France emerged.The head of Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee said on Thursday that Israel has established a committee to review allegations that NSO Group’s controversial Pegasus phone surveillance software was misused.In an interview with Army Radio, lawmaker Ram Ben-Barak gave scant details about the panel’s makeup or its scope — NSO has said it exports to 45 countries, with approval from the Israeli government.A consortium of media companies, including the Washington Post, the Guardian and France’s Le Monde, reported on Tuesday that one of Macron’s phone numbers and those of many cabinet ministers were on the leaked list of potential Pegasus targets.The newspapers said they had been unable to confirm whether an attempted or successful hacking had taken place without forensically analyzing the president’s phone.Evidence of an attempted hacking was found on the device of former environment minister and close Macron ally Francois de Rugy, with the attempt allegedly originating in Morocco.De Rugy demanded on Tuesday that Morocco provide “explanations to France, to the French government and individuals like me, who was a member of the French government, when there was an attempt to hack and access the data on my mobile phone.”The NSO Group has denied that Macron was among the targets of its clients.We can “specifically come out and say for sure that the president of France, Macron, was not a target,” Chaim Gelfand, chief compliance officer at NSO Group, told Israeli television network i24news on Wednesday.A source close to Macron played down the risk to him, saying on Wednesday that the 43-year-old leader had several phones which were “regularly changed, updated and secured.”Speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, the source said that his security settings were “the tightest possible.”Other revelations this week have alleged that close French ally Morocco also targeted several high-profile journalists in France.Prosecutors in Paris have opened a probe, following complaints from investigative website Mediapart and the satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaine.Morocco has denied the claims, saying it “never acquired computer software to infiltrate communication devices.”Pegasus can hack into mobile phones without a user knowing, enabling clients to read every message, track a user’s location and tap into the phone’s camera and microphone.

Longtime graphic designer for Ben & Jerry’s quits over settlement boycott-NY-based Susannah Levin, a contractor for the company, says decision by ice cream giant is part of ‘despicable trend’ of anti-Zionism-By TOI staff-24 July 2021, 5:11 pm

A longtime graphic designer for ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s announced that she is quitting the company after 21 years, saying its decision to halt sales in Israeli settlements was part of a “despicable trend” of anti-Zionism, which she believes to be a new form of antisemitism.Susannah Levin of New York has worked as a contractor for Ben & Jerry’s since 2000. This week she announced on Facebook that she left the company.“Effective immediately, I have quit my job of 21 years at Ben & Jerry’s, over the statement on Israel. If you want to get an idea of why, please watch this wonderful video by the great Rabbi Jonathon [sic] Sacks,” Levin wrote.She then linked to a five-minute video of the late Lord Sacks speaking about the connection between antisemitism and anti-Zionism.“He explains how anti-Zionism IS the new antisemitism. My company’s response is part of this despicable trend and I will have no part of it,” wrote Levin in her post.Ben & Jerry’s announced on Monday that it will no longer sell its products in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” apparently referring to West Bank settlements and East Jerusalem.The announcement triggered a storm on social media and a row with the Israeli government, which has condemned the decision, accusing the company of joining a global Palestinian-led boycott movement against Israel.“We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners,” the company said.The decision is set to take effect at the end of 2022, when its contract with the current Israeli manufacturer and distributor expires. The future of Ben & Jerry’s products across Israel beginning in 2023 remains in question.Ben & Jerry’s Israeli manufacturer opposes the decision and has vowed to continue to sell throughout all of Israel for the remainder of its contract.Jerusalem has meanwhile urged 35 American states with anti-boycott laws to punish Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s.The chief executive of Unilever said on Thursday that the global consumer goods giant remains “fully committed” to doing business in Israel, distancing himself from the Ben & Jerry’s announcement.But CEO Alan Jope gave no indication that Unilever would force Ben & Jerry’s to roll back its controversial decision. In a conference call with investors, Jope said that Ben & Jerry’s, which has a long history of social activism, made the decision on its own.Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke personally with Jope on Monday to complain about the development and vow a “vigorous” response, stressing that Ben and Jerry’s was taking a “clearly anti-Israeli step.”Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked said Wednesday that Israel is working to initiate a grassroots boycott of Ben & Jerry’s in the United States by Jewish, evangelical and pro-Israel groups.In addition, Israel ambassador to the US Gilad Erdan sent letters to the governors of 35 US states earlier this week, urging them to apply local laws against boycotting Israel.The states that have passed anti-BDS legislation include Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, California, Maryland and Texas — but not Vermont, where Ben & Jerry’s is headquartered.Five US states have begun examining whether Ben & Jerry’s decision triggered laws passed in recent years to combat BDS.Officials in Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey and Illinois are reviewing whether the move will require divestment from Ben & Jerry’s parent company Unilever under their various state laws.AP and JTA contributed to this report.

Russia says its air defense systems in Syria intercepted Israeli missiles-Hezbollah, Iranian commanders reported killed in Israeli strikes; Russian military official says 7 of 8 Israeli missiles struck down this week-By TOI staff-JUL 25,21-Today, 12:16 am

Russian anti-aircraft artillery systems in Syria intercepted a number of missiles launched by Israel in airstrikes this week in an area southeast of Aleppo, according to a Russian military official.The strikes were reported to have killed senior Hezbollah and Iranian fighters.Vadim Kulit, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, told the Russian news agency TASS on Tuesday that Israeli fighter jets fired eight guided missiles on Monday, seven of which were intercepted by Russia’s Pantsyr-S and Buk-M2 systems, both self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft systems.“In a span from 23:39 to 23:51 on July 19, four F-16 fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force entered Syria’s airspace via the US-controlled al-Tanf zone and fired eight guided missiles at facilities southeast of the city of Aleppo,” said Kulit, according to the TASS report.“One missile damaged the building of a research center in the settlement of Safira in the Aleppo governorate,” he said.The comments came amid a new report on Saturday that Russia has “run out of patience” with Israel in Syria and is planning a shift in its policies toward Israeli sorties over the country, according to the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat which cited an unnamed “well-informed” Russian source.Syrian media reported two Israeli attacks this past week, on Monday night and early Thursday. It claimed that in both cases most missiles were shot down — though Syria has regularly made such claims in the past, in what Syrian war analysts have generally believed to be empty boasts.But on Saturday, the Saudi-based Al-Arabiya news network reported that Imad al-Amin, a military commander for Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy whose members have fought in Syria on behalf of Bashar Assad’s forces, was killed in one of the Israeli airstrikes this week.Hezbollah confirmed on Telegram that al-Amin was killed “while fulfilling his duties” but did not specify when or how, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported on Saturday night.Al-Arabiya also reported that a senior official in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Sayed Ahmed Qurayshi, was killed under unknown circumstances in Syria this week. There has been no official confirmation from Iran.The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Qurayshi has been based in Syria since 2013 and had “participated in many military operations alongside Qassem Soleimani,” the former commander of the IRGC’s al-Quds Brigade who was killed by the US in January 2020.Earlier Saturday, Asharq Al-Awsat cited an unnamed Russian source as saying that following talks with Washington, Moscow had got the impression that “Washington does not welcome the continuous Israeli raids,” and thus believes it has the freedom to act more aggressively to thwart them.In light of this, the Russians were now supplying Syrian forces with more advanced anti-missile systems and know-how, making them more capable of shooting down Israeli armaments, the report said.It claimed the effect of this was already being seen, with Syrian air defenses shooting down seven of eight Israeli missiles during a July 19 Israeli raid.#Syria: photo showing one of the explosions heard in #Homs province tonight following new wave of #Israel|i airstrikes. pic.twitter.com/YRg28RmYzB — QalaatM (@QalaatM) July 21, 2021-Israel’s military does not comment on reports of specific strikes in Syria save for those that are in retaliation for attacks from the country.Israel has launched hundreds of strikes against Iran-linked military targets in Syria over the years but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. Jerusalem fears Iranian entrenchment on its northern frontier, and it has repeatedly struck Iran-linked facilities and weapons convoys destined for Hezbollah.Russia has repeatedly criticized Israeli strikes over the years.In January, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Jerusalem should provide Moscow with intelligence about suspected threats so that it can “neutralize” them, rather than attack them itself.“If Israel is really forced to respond to threats to the Israeli security coming from the Syrian territory, we have told our Israeli colleagues many times: if you see such threats, please give us the information,” Lavrov said at the time.Russia has deployed a large military presence in Syria to support Assad through his country’s brutal civil war. In order to prevent unwanted clashes, Jerusalem and Moscow have maintained a so-called deconfliction mechanism, which has allowed the two countries to effectively communicate with one another and avoid altercations.This mechanism has been generally successful, with the notable exception of an incident in September 2018, in which a Russian spy plane was shot down by a Syrian anti-aircraft missile that had been fired in response to an Israeli attack.Moscow blamed Israel for the deaths of the troops on board the aircraft, saying Israeli planes had hidden behind the Russian aircraft, a charge that the Israel Defense Forces fiercely denied.Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

IDF: Palestinian hurling firebombs, rocks shot in West Bank; 2 others arrested-Military says suspects were targeting an Israeli vehicle near Mevo Dotan settlement, attack thwarted-By TOI staff-JUL 25,21-Today, 3:42 am

A Palestinian assailant who was throwing firebombs and rocks at an Israeli car was shot in the West Bank on Saturday, the army said.Two other suspects were arrested after a chase, the Israel Defense Forces said.The military said the three Palestinians were hurling Molotov cocktails and stones at an Israeli vehicle near the settlement of Mevo Dotan. Soldiers moved to arrest them and thwart a potential terror attack, opening fire in their direction and hitting one suspect. His condition was not immediately known.The other two were apprehended a short while later, the military said.There were no reports of Israeli casualties.The incident comes after a Palestinian teenager was shot and and killed by live fire during clashes with the Israeli army near his hometown of Nabi Saleh, the Palestinian Authority Health Ministry said Friday night.According to the PA, Mohammad Munir al-Tamimi, 17, was shot in the stomach during clashes with Israeli soldiers on Friday afternoon. He was rushed to a hospital in nearby Salfit in critical condition, where he died later that night.The IDF said that it would look into the incident, which it said took place while dozens of Palestinians hurled stones at Israeli soldiers during a riot next to the town.“During the riots, a Palestinian suspect threw stones in a manner that fatally threatened one of the soldiers. The soldier initiated an arrest procedure that included gunfire towards the suspect,” the army said.Friday saw clashes break out at various friction points across the West Bank. In Beita, a Palestinian town near Nablus, hundreds of Palestinians gathered to demonstrate against Israeli presence on a nearby hilltop known in Arabic as Jabal Sbeih, which is home to the empty illegal outpost Evyatar.According to the Israeli military, hundreds of Palestinians clashed with Israeli soldiers, throwing stones. Two Israeli soldiers were lightly wounded, the IDF said.Another MARTYR Mohammad Munerr Al Tamimi, 17 have just murdered after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces today in Nabi Saleh.Posted by Bilal Tamimi on Friday, July 23, 2021“Troops operating at the scene used riot dispersal means and Ruger bullets,” an army spokesperson said. The latter are a form of live fire whose impact, while less severe than that of ordinary bullets, can still be lethal.According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, 21 Palestinians were shot by Israeli live fire, and another 68 were injured with rubber bullets. Around 195 suffered from tear gas inhalation.The protests began weeks ago when Israeli settler nationalists reestablished Evyatar on Jabal Sbeih. Hundreds of settlers flowed into the area, regularly holding events in an attempt to push the state to legalize the land grab.Palestinians say the plot is land privately owned by Beita residents. Israeli authorities have not yet determined whether that is the case.Every Friday beginning in June, Palestinian demonstrators have marched toward the outpost, hurling stones at Israeli forces and setting tires ablaze. The IDF responds with rubber bullets and, occasionally, live fire. Four Palestinians have died from Israeli fire in the clashes.After dark, Palestinian “night confusion units” would shine lasers, chant slogans and burn tires in an attempt to irritate the hilltop’s new residents. The tactic was borrowed from a similar strategy used by Gaza-based groups along the border fence with Israel.In an attempt to lower tensions in the area, the Israeli government reached an agreement with the settlers to vacate the outpost. In exchange, the makeshift buildings they installed will remain in place, the IDF will turn the area into a makeshift base and over the next several months, the Defense Ministry will survey the land to determine its status and see if it can be legally transformed into a formal settlement.Palestinian residents of Beita have not accepted this arrangement, however, and have vowed to continue protesting until Israeli presence on Jabal Sbeih ends.“This was an agreement that was made without any representatives from the landowners in Beita. It’s just the Israeli occupation and its settlers,” said Beita deputy mayor Mousa Hamayel in a phone call. “As long as there is no access to the land, there will continue to be a natural response.”

Ex-wife: I left Pakistan after decade of antisemitic attacks-Pakistan PM in row after rival says his children are raised ‘in the lap of Jews’After Imran Khan criticizes her family, Maryam Nawaz, former premier’s daughter, makes comment about 2 kids PM has with ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith, whose father was of Jewish descent-By TOI staff-24 July 2021, 7:53 pm

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan became embroiled in a public row this week with a political rival who said the premier’s two children were “raised in the lap of the Jews.”Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of former premier Nawaz Sharif and vice president of the Pakistani Muslim League, made the comments after Khan accused her family of corruption and privilege and attacked her son, Junaid Safdar, for playing polo at Cambridge University.In an election speech last Saturday, Khan referenced recent pictures of Sharif — a former Pakistani PM ousted in 2017 and later convicted of corruption and jailed for two years — watching his grandson’s polo match.Sharif left Pakistan on bail in 2019 to seek medical treatment in London, where he had remained since.“The poor go to jail and the powerful [Nawaz Sharif] get NRO [National Reconciliation Ordinance] [deal] to go abroad and watch his grandson’s polo match,” Khan said in the speech, according to Sky News.“The common man cannot play polo — a kings’ sport. You need a lot of money to keep a horse and play polo. So tell us where this dear grandson got this money from. It’s the people’s money,” he went on.In this photograph taken on June 15, 2017, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif speaks to media after appearing before an anti-corruption commission at the Federal Judicial Academy in Islamabad. (Aaamir Qureshi/AFP)-Nawaz then responded to the remarks, saying: “My son [Junaid] is the polo team captain [for Cambridge University] and is bringing honor to Pakistan.”“He is Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, not Goldsmith’s, and he is not being raised in the lap of Jews,” she added, according to Sky News.Khan has two sons with ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith, whose father, the tycoon and politician James Goldsmith, was of Jewish descent.The two were married for nine years between 1995 and 2004, during which Goldsmith converted to Islam and relocated to Lahore, Pakistan to be with Khan, who was then a cricket star.Goldsmith responded directly to Nawaz’s remark, taking to Twitter this week to say that she “left Pakistan in 2004 after a decade of antisemitic attacks by the media & politicians (& weekly death threats & protests outside my house). But still it continues.”Nawaf wrote back in English: “I have absolutely no interest in you, your sons or your personal lives because I have better things to do and say but if your ex drags in families of others out of spite, others will have nastier things to say. You have only your ex to blame.”

Iran says ‘bandits’ killed 4 IRGC troops near Pakistan border-State TV says clash between Revolutionary Guard Corps members and armed men occurred in Gounic district of Sistan and Baluchistan province-By AP-24 July 2021, 4:58 pm

TEHRAN, Iran — Armed bandits killed four members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard in fighting in a southern province, the official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.The report said the clash between Guard members and the bandits happened on Friday night in the Gounic district of Sistan and Baluchistan province. The site of the fighting is some 1,250 kilometers (775 miles) southeast of the capital Tehran.Sistan-Baluchistan straddles the border with Pakistan and has a large, mainly Sunni ethnic Baluch population.The province has been the scene of occasional clashes between Baluch militants and Iranian forces. Security forces have also fought with drug traffickers in the province, which is on a major smuggling route for Afghan opium and heroin.A Sunni separatist group affiliated with al-Qaeda and known as Jeish al-Adl, or Army of Justice, operates in the area.In April, Guard members shot dead three militants and dismantled their cell in the province.

Associated Press-Danish military spots Iranian vessels in the Baltic,Thu, July 22, 2021, 10:13 AM

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The Danish military said Thursday it spotted an Iranian destroyer and a large support vessel sailing through the Baltic Sea, likely heading to Russia for a military parade in the coming days.The Danish Defense Ministry posted photographs online from the Royal Danish Air Force of the new domestically built Iranian destroyer Sahand and the intelligence-gathering vessel Makran passing by the Danish island of Bornholm.“It is expected that they are on their way to the annual naval parade in St. Petersburg,” the Danish military wrote on Twitter.Earlier Thursday, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported that the country’s navy commander, Adm. Hossein Khanzadi, will join the Russian naval parade at St. Petersburg after receiving an invitation from the Russian defense minister.IRNA also said the Sahand will join the parade “if the Russian-planned programs are in line with the plans of the Iranian fleet.”The naval parade is expected to take place Sunday, according to Russian state media.The two vessels left Iran's Bandar Abbas port in May. Images from Maxar Technologies dated April 28 appear to show seven Iranian fast-attack craft typically associated with its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard on the deck of the Makran.The Danish military photos showed those seven vessels covered and still aboard the Makran on Thursday. The fast-attack craft aboard the Makran are the type that the Guard uses in its tense encounters with U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf and its narrow mouth, the Strait of Hormuz.The website Politico first reported in late May, citing anonymous officials, that the ships’ final destination may be Venezuela. However, it appears the vessels instead went around Africa's Cape of Good Hope and continued north on an unusually long voyage by Iran's navy.

3 And there came out of the smoke (DEMONIC) locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Mideast in turmoil with water and energy shortages amid record heatwave-Temperatures in Iran top 50°C during chaos in country’s southwest over lack of water; Lebanon’s major power station to resume operations, even with economic collapse-By AFP and TOI staff-JUL 25,21-Today, 9:44 am

Amid a record heatwave, water and power shortages have sparked protests and unrest across the Middle East, from Iran to Lebanon.Temperatures in a number of countries have topped 50 degrees Celsius (122°F), including Iran, which hit 51°C (123.8°F), and Iraq, which reached 52°C (125.6°F) this month.In Lebanon, a major power station was to resume operations on Sunday, two days after it ground to a halt due to a lack of fuel at a time of constant power cuts and economic collapse.Zahrani in south Lebanon — one of the country’s four main power plants — went offline on Friday because the state electricity company was unable to access fuel shipments stuck offshore due to pending payments.Electricity of Lebanon (EDL) said Saturday that foreign correspondent banks had completed payment procedures and preparations were underway to unload the cargo the same day.“Zahrani power plant will be back in service starting tomorrow morning after the entire cargo aboard the tanker is unloaded into its tanks,” EDL said in a statement.The state electricity company did not refer to Deir Ammar power station, which also went offline on Friday because it ran out of fuel. Together, Deir Ammar and Zahrani provide about 40% of the country’s electricity.Lebanon is mired in what the World Bank has called one of the worst economic crises since the 1850s, and the cash-strapped state is struggling to buy enough fuel to keep the lights on.Power cuts in recent months have lasted up to 22 hours a day in some areas, while even private generator owners have been forced to ration output as fuel prices rise, resulting in periods of complete blackout.This has disrupted work at businesses, government offices and hospitals. The government’s COVID-19 vaccine committee on Friday said it canceled a mass vaccination drive planned for the weekend because of power outages in most centers.The international community has long demanded a complete overhaul of the electricity sector, which has cost the government more than $40 billion since the end of Lebanon’s 1975-90 civil war.In this, June 17, 2021 photo, a protester passes burning tires and garbage containers blocking a main highway during a protest against the increase in prices of consumer goods and the free fall of the local currency, in Beirut, Lebanon. (AP /Hussein Malla)-Syria has seen electricity cuts for some 20 hours a day in some areas north of Damascus, residents have complained, according to the Washington Post. In Aleppo, cuts last for eight hours at a time, with just 1.5 hours of power in between, Syria’s al-Watan paper said.In Iraq, amid the 52 degrees Celsius weather, four southern provinces have been without consistent electricity since earlier this month, including Basra — home to Iraq’s main port.Sizzling temperatures have been compounded by high levels of humidity.“The children sleep right on the floor to try and stay cool, but us, the adults, haven’t slept a wink these past nights,” Meshaal Hashem, a Basra docker, and father of three, told AFP.In the city of Diwaniyah, Rahi Abdelhussein buys bags of ice to cool down his children, saying it helps hydrate them.Shops have placed hoses and makeshift showers outdoors to attract customers to stop.Iraq — the second-largest producer in the OPEC oil cartel — buys gas and power from neighboring Iran to supply about a third of its power sector, dilapidated by decades of conflict and poor maintenance.But Iran decided to cut supplies to its neighbor earlier this month, saying the Iraqi electricity ministry owes it more than $6 billion in arrears.Iraq says it is unable to pay because of US sanctions on money transfers to Iran, a deep financial crisis compounded by lower oil prices, and the COVID-19 pandemic.Iraqi youths react to the heat as they wait to buy ice blocks at a factory in Sadr City, east of the capital Baghdad, on July 2, 2021, amid power outages and soaring temperatures. (Ahmad Al-Rubaye/AFP)-In Iran meanwhile, at least three people have been killed in the country’s southwestern province of Khuzestan following nearly a week of protests against water shortages, local media reported.Wealthy Khuzestan is Iran’s main oil-producing region, but it is struggling with a persistent drought that last week sparked protests over a lack of water.Three people, including a police officer, have been reportedly killed. The officer was shot in the port city of Mahshahr during “riots” on Tuesday, the official IRNA news agency said, quoting acting county governor Fereydoun Bandari.“One officer was martyred and another injured in the leg,” Bandari said, although he did not specifically link the shooting to protests over water shortages.There were protests in Izeh and Susangerd counties over “the water situation,” state TV said, reporting that “opportunists” had turned calm gatherings into clashes with the police.In Izeh, a “young person” was shot dead by “rioters” and 14 police officers were injured, local governor Hassan Nobovati told Fars news agency. Nobovati did not explicitly say if the victim was a protester.On Saturday, state media reported a protester had been shot dead in the town of Shadegan by “opportunists and rioters.”“The people of Khuzestan are staging nightly protests, protests that have been festering for years,” the reformist newspaper Arman-e Melli said Tuesday.In recent days, Farsi-language media based abroad have broadcast videos they said showed protests in Ahvaz, Hamidiyeh, Izeh, Mahshahr, Shadegan, and Susangerd. They said security forces had forcibly dispersed protesters, but domestic media played down the reports.The videos show hundreds of marching people, chanting slogans against authorities, while surrounded by anti-riot police. In some, what sounded like gunfire could be heard. The videos shared on social media could not be independently verified.

Associated Press-German railway: Floods caused $1.5 billion damage to network-Fri, July 23, 2021, 4:03 AM·2 min read

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's national railway operator estimated on Friday that last week's flooding caused damage worth 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) to its network, offering another glimpse of the extent of the devastation.Authorities are still working to determine the overall cost of the floods that did their worst damage in western Germany and eastern Belgium. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said this week that the damage is “immense” and will take a long time to repair.At least 177 people died in Germany in the flooding and a further 31 deaths were reported in Belgium, taking the overall death toll to 208.German railway operator Deutsche Bahn said that more than 50 bridges, 180 level crossings, nearly 40 signal boxes, over 1,000 electric and signal masts, as well as energy and lighting systems and station elevators were damaged.“Never before has our infrastucture been destroyed to this extent in one go,” said Volker Hentschel, a board member at the company's DB Netz infrastructure division. He said its initial estimate is that the flooding caused damage to the railway network and stations of around 1.3 billion euros.The government, which owns Deutsche Bahn, has vowed to make a quick start on rebuilding efforts. Hentschel said it will take “months, if not years” to restore everything, though the company is confident of repairing 80% of the damaged infrastructure by the end of this year.Separately, Turkey also has seen flooding in recent days. Work was continuing to find a missing person following floods in Artvin province in the country's northeast that started Wednesday, and one person was being treated for injuries. More than 450 people were evacuated.At least six people were killed last week and two were missing after floods in neighboring Rize province.

So-called smoke shade from other wildfires helps crews fight biggest U.S. blaze-Sat, July 24, 2021, 4:27 PM-By Rich McKay

(Reuters) - Scores of wildfires raging across the Western United States' forest and scrub have belched so much smoke that it is helping an army of firefighters gain ground on the nation's biggest blaze, Oregon's Bootleg fire, by blocking sunlight, officials said on Saturday.Both the National Weather Service and officials with the Oregon Department of Forestry said smoke in the lower atmosphere coming from California wildfires has floated over the Bootleg fire, which has scorched more than 401,000 acres in Oregon about 250 miles (402 km) south of Portland."It's called 'smoke shading' and it's basically put a lid on the lower atmosphere for now, blocking sunlight and creating cooler, more stable surface conditions," said Eric Schoening, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.The phenomenon is unpredictable and the area is still under red-flag warnings this weekend from the NWS, which said the Pacific Northwest may experience high temperatures and wind gusts that can fan the flames and spread hot sparks and embers.Schoening said the weather is a "mixed bag" in terms of helping firefighters.Marcus Kauffman, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Forestry, said the drawback of the "smoke shade" is that it makes it harder to fly planes and helicopters that drop water and chemical fire suppressants even "while it helps the teams on the ground."An army of more than 2,000 firefighters and support crews had contained about 42% percent of the fire by Saturday, although the fire jumped containment lines the night before, he said."We lost 1,600 acres last night," Kauffman said.The Bootleg fire is one of more than 80 large active wildfires in 13 states that have charred about 1.3 million acres (526,090 hectares) in recent weeks, an area larger than Delaware, according to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho.The smoke, even as it provides some help to Oregon firefighters, has recently been carried by the jet stream and other air currents as far as the Northeastern cities of New York and Boston, where some residents have felt the air contamination in their eyes, noses and lungs.(Reporting by Rich McKay in Atlanta; Editing by Matthew Lewis)

U.S. wildfires turn full moon orange-The full moon rises behind the Empire State Building in New York City-Sat, July 24, 2021, 3:29 PM

(Reuters) - Raging wildfires in the U.S. northwest and southwestern Canada cast an orange tint on July's full moon on Friday evening, as smoke from multiple blazes gusted toward the east.In Washington, D.C., one view of the moon, as seen from the Washington Monument, showed a fully sized orb shifting colors and briefly turning orange. The silhouette of a Marine One helicopter flashed across the moon as it appeared to linger over federal buildings in the U.S. capital.Dozens of major wildfires are burning across parts of Oregon, Montana, Idaho and California, with Oregon's Bootleg fire the most massive and the state's third largest wildfire on records dating back to 1900.As of Friday, the Bootleg fire, located about 250 miles south of Portland, had ripped through more than 400,000 acres (162,000 hectares) of drought-parched brush and timber and destroyed at least 67 homes near the California border. At its peak, an estimated 2,000 people were displaced by evacuations.(Reporting by Reuters TV; editing by Diane Craft and Leslie Adler)
