Headline:    Israeli jets ‘strike near Damascus’ – Syrian army

Headline:  Russia wants Israeli explanation for ‘aggressive actions’ in Syria

Headline:  Hezbollah drones, anti-aircraft missiles destroyed in alleged IAF attack, says Syrian opposition

Headline:  Israel air strikes wiped out Russian hardware for thwarting US no-fly zone plan over Syria

The Syrian military has accused Israel of carrying out two air strikes on Syria, near the capital Damascus. Israeli planes bombed the area near Damascus international airport and the town of Dimas, the Syrian army said in a statement carried on state television. No casualties were reported. There has been no confirmation of the air strikes from Israel. Israel has conducted several air strikes on Syria since 2011. “This afternoon, the Israeli enemy targeted two safe areas in Damascus province, namely the Dimas area and the Damascus International Airport,” the military statement said. It described the air strikes as “direct aggression” carried out to help the Syrian government’s opponents. Some installations had been damaged, it added, without elaborating on what had been hit. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian conflict, said (in Arabic) that 10 explosions were heard near Dimas, which is located close to the Syria-Lebanon border. The group also said that there had been eight air raids on areas in the town of Khan al-Sheeh, on the eastern outskirts of the capital, and that a warehouse near Damascus airport had been hit. Responding to the Syrian accusation, Israel’s military said it did not comment on “foreign reports”. Meanwhile, High-ranking American military sources revealed Monday, Dec. 8, that Israel’s air strikes near Damascus the day before wiped out newly-arrived Russian hardware including missiles that were dispatched post haste to help Syria and Hizballah frustrate a US plan for a no-fly zone over northern Syria. The advanced weapons were sent over, as debkafile reported exclusively Sunday, after Russian President Vladimir Putin learned that the Obama administration and the Erdogan government were close to a final draft on a joint effort to activate a no-fly zone that would bar Syrian air force traffic over northern Syria. The Kremlin has repeatedly warned – of late in strong messages through back channels – that the establishment of a no-fly or buffer zone in any part of Syria would be treated as direct American intervention in the Syria war and result in Russian military intervention for defending the Assad regime.

Headline:  Israeli parliament dissolves itself 2 years early, sets election

Israeli lawmakers have overwhelmingly voted to dissolve parliament, officially kicking off the country’s election campaign. Monday’s vote in the 120-seat Knesset passed 93-0 in favor of disbanding, ending its term two years ahead of schedule. Early polls show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu likely returning to power. But a growing coalition of anti-Netanyahu factions threatens to depose the longtime leader. Israel’s government, which took office in early 2013, has been riven by divisions from the outset over issues facing the country. For weeks it has been bickering over a budget, a housing tax break and a bill that would enshrine into law Israel’s status as a Jewish state. With early elections set for March 17, the current parliament will have served for one of the shortest periods in Israeli history.

Jordan

Headline: Islamic State group support grows in Jordan town

Local authorities quickly stripped away public signs of support for the Islamic State group in this desert town. Black flags have been removed from rooftops. Graffiti proclaiming the extremists’ imminent victory have been whitewashed. But supporters of the Middle East’s most radical extremist group are only laying low after their surprise show of strength in protests last summer. Despite government efforts, support for the Islamic State group is growing in Maan and elsewhere in Jordan, one of the West’s key allies in the region, say Islamic State activists, members of rival groups and experts on political Islam. One of the leading Islamic State group activists in Maan said he and others are still working to build their base. “In homes, at work, in mosques, in the streets, we reach out to people to call them to the real Islam,” the 40-year-old blacksmith, Abu Abdullah, told The Associated Press. Like other Islamic State group supporters interviewed by the AP, he spoke on condition he be identified only by his nickname for fear of troubles with authorities.

Headline: Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood smuggling weapons to Palestinians

Israel reportedly shared intelligence with Jordan about a Muslim Brotherhood cell on its soil whose operations included smuggling weapons to Palestinians in the West Bank and raising funds for terror activities. Jordanian sources told the London-based al-Hayat daily that the information has led to the arrest of 31 people, a majority of them Palestinian students from the West Bank attending university in the Hashemite Kingdom. Over the weekend, Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned that should peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians not resume, renewed violence would break out, possibly leading to more intifadas. If the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not solved, “there’ll be a [fourth] fifth, sixth and seventh, and there’ll be another war in Lebanon,” he told PBS’s Charlie Rose on Friday. “If we don’t solve the problem, it’s only a matter of time until there’s another one,” he asserted.

A car bomb has exploded in the northeastern Lebanese town of Arsal near the border with Syria, injuring at least one person. Monday’s blast targeted the brother of a militant holed up in the volatile border town, Lebanese media reports said. “The bomb was placed inside the car of Hassan Ezzeddine and he was wounded but his condition is stable,” said Lebanese state-run National News Agency. Earlier in the day, Lebanese armed forces shut down two main roads leading to the volatile area, then commenced heavy shelling on militant positions on the town’s outskirts. Takfiri militants of the al-Nusra Front said on Friday that they killed a captive Lebanese soldier following Beirut’s announcement that it had arrested three women with links to the Takfiri terrorists operating in neighboring Syria. The army’s operations are aimed at securing the release of the remaining hostages.

The Canadian Embassy said in a statement that it would be closed “due to security reasons” Monday, with a separate email to Canadian citizens in Egypt saying this would be “until further notice.” The British Embassy also remained closed after shutting its public services Sunday. British Ambassador John Casson said the decision had been taken “to ensure the security of the embassy and our staff.” “We are working to restore full services as quickly as possible,” Casson said. Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Badr Abdelatty said he was unaware “of any specific threat” to the missions. “They informed us that it is a precautionary action … but we are dealing with the matter seriously,” he told AFP.

Syria Headline:  Following airstrikes, Syria calls for sanctions on Israel

Syria called on the United Nations to impose sanctions on Israel Sunday, hours after Damascus alleged Israeli planes struck two sites near Damascus. Syria’s Foreign Ministry said it sent letters to the UN Security Council and to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon accusing Israel of carrying out the air raids to cover up its own internal problems and calling for action against Israel to ensure the attacks do not continue. “The Syrian government called for imposing deterring sanctions on Israel, which did not hide its policy in supporting terrorism, calling also for taking all procedures, in accordance with the UN Charter, to prevent Israel from repeating such attacks,” the Damascus-run SANA news agency reported.

Syria Headline:  In Kobane, 23 militants killed in two coordinated attacks

Fifteen Islamic State (ISIS) fighters were killed in a coordinated Kurdish shock attack in Kobane early Monday, a day after eight other militants were killed in clashes, Kurdish forces said. Monday’s attack involved fresh Peshmerga forces sent in by the Kurdistan Region and the People’s Protection Units (YPG), backed by sustained coalition airpower that targeted militant positions, sources told Rudaw. “The attack was a coordinated YPG-Peshmerga operation backed by coalition airstrikes which pushed back the Islamist militants in some districts of the town,” Major Sherwan Spindarayi told Rudaw. He added that a high-ranking militant, an ISIS emir known as Jundulla Chichani, was among the dead fighters. Spindarayi said that four serial airstrikes targeted militant locations in the city, as the ground troops launched surprise attacks. Fierce clashes between the ISIS militants and Kurdish forces on Sunday evening resulted in the deaths of eight militants and capture of unspecified numbers of arms and ammunition, Spindarayi said.

Reliable sources informed SOHR that IS militants executed a fighter from an Islamic movement by shooting him in the city of Jarablus in the northern eastern countryside of Aleppo on charge of “apostasy and fighting Islamic State”, where they promised to keep him crucified for 3 days.

Iraq Headline:  1500 more coalition troops to Iraq

The soldiers would be in addition to the 3100 US soldiers already promised, the BBC reported. US commander Lieutenant General James Terry, who is coordinating efforts against IS, did not say which coalition nations would provide the extra troops. It is hoped the deployment of additional soldiers will increase the effectiveness of the Iraqi army, much of which proved ineffective under an IS onslaught in June. Since Islamic State’s June offensive, the Sunni militants have had little success breaking beyond the solidly Sunni Muslim provinces of Anbar in the west and Salahuddin north of Baghdad, as well as the strongly Sunni province of Nineveh, home to the city of Mosul which the Islamists overran in June, Reuters reports. The allies’ commitments were made during a conference among coalition members in Kuwait. Lieutenant General Terry told the conference that airstrikes against IS were taking a toll on the militants’ campaign in Iraq and Syria.

Headline:    Facing Threats From ISIS And Iran, Gulf States Set To Join Forces

Alarmed over rising threats in the Middle East and North Africa, the Gulf Cooperation Council is set to launch an unprecedented joint military command, according to regional officials and military analysts. “At the moment, we are witnessing a new spirit,” says Abdulaziz Sager, head of the Gulf Research Center, a think tank that focuses on the GCC, a six-member group of Arab monarchies. The NATO-inspired force — which goes beyond existing structures — will be established this week at the GCC summit in Doha, Qatar, Sager says. The new, unified GCC military command is to be based in Riyadh, the Saudi capital. The growing power of militants from the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, plus the influence of Iran — seen in Gulf capitals as meddling in conflicts in Iraq, Syria and Yemen — has added urgency for military cooperation. Past attempts at a pan-Arab force have failed over political differences and disagreements over basing the force in one country, says Gulf security analyst Mustafa Alalani. “This is not a military force, it’s a unified command,” he says. Every country has to donate air and sea power, according to the size of their military, Alalani says. It’s a rapid deployment force, he explains, modeled on NATO’s military structures. “The Saudis and the UAE are gearing up to take a much harder line,” says Faisel Yafai, a columnist for The National, an English language newspaper in the United Arab Emirates. “They have shifted. They are now doing this front and center,” he says.

Tasnim news agency said the team was led by Hamas political bureau member Mohammed Nasr and included Osama Hamdan, who is in charge of international relations. Iran has been a key source of funds and weapons for Hamas. The visit is aimed at clearing the way for a “mission” by Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal to Iran, Amir Mousavi, the head of Tehran’s Center of Strategic Research, said on the website of the Hamas-linked daily Al-Ressalah. In October, Izzat al-Rishak, a member of Hamas leadership, issued a statement denying Hamas reports that Mashaal was expected to visit Iran in the near future. The Syrian conflict has strained the relationship between Hamas and Iran, with the Sunni Muslim Gaza-based group breaking ties with Damascus while Shi’i’te Tehran has remained a strong ally of the regime.

In his interview with RT’s Arabic Channel, the Sudanese president labeled Washington’s policies in Middle East and North Africa as “harmful and destructive.” “Just look at what’s now happening in Iraq and how it spread to Syria. All the suffering that is going in the Arab world is the work of the US,” he said.

The German authorities are concerned about the radicalization of the country’s Chechen diaspora population, according to local media reports. Around 500 Germans are thought to be fighting in Syria with the Islamic State (IS) group. According to Hans-Georg Maassen, the head of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, many of the Germans in Syria have an immigrant background. However, German news reports say the authorities are particularly concerned about Chechens from the diaspora in Germany fighting with the Junud al-Sham faction in Latakia. That faction is led by an ethnic Chechen from the Pankisi Gorge in Georgia, Muslim Abu Walid al-Shishani (Murad Margoshvili). Muslim al-Shishani is a veteran jihadi who fought in the second Russo-Chechen war alongside prominent Arab foreign fighters Ibn al-Khattab and Abu al-Walid.

At the weekend, Turkey’s National Education Council, mainly composed of members backed by the Erdogan administration, voted in favor of making Ottoman classes compulsory at religious high schools and an option at regular high schools.

An opposition party worker was shot dead in Pakistan on Monday as hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police armed with water cannon and batons in the central city of Faisalabad. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (Pakistan Movement for Justice or PTI) party led by Imran Khan had vowed to paralyze the city as part of its efforts to topple the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whom it accuses of poll-rigging. The death could spark further violence and reinvigorate the opposition movement. It received a boost Monday when a judge ordered a vote audit in a key constituency, a longstanding demand of Khan. He has said it will highlight systemic flaws in the 2013 general election which brought Sharif’s party to power. TV footage showed PTI workers clashing with supporters of Sharif as well as with riot police, who baton-charged them as parts of Faisalabad came to a standstill.

Thousands of anti-government protesters have clashed with police in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince. They burned tyres and threw stones at officers who responded with tear gas. The protesters want President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe to resign and long-overdue elections to be held. Some protesters accused the US of supporting Haiti’s leadership and called on Russian President Vladimir Putin for help. Hundreds succeeded in reaching the National Palace, an area which has been restricted for several years. One protester, who gave his name as Reginald, said: “Today is a victory against President Martelly who destroys the country, for two years we (are not allowed) to cross in front of the National Palace.” President Martelly was supposed to call elections in 2011 but they have been postponed in a stalemate between the government and a group of opposition senators over electoral law.

Headline:  Eurogroup puts pressure on France to deliver on deficit

New EU laws do not meet new global standards and would not be enough to ensure that the bloc’s banks could survive a future financial crisis, according to a new report by the leading global bank regulator. The rebuke is contained in a report published on Friday (5 December) by the Basel committee at the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements, the body tasked with formulating the rules that govern the world’s lenders. The committee, which also assessed the US, Japan, China, Brazil, Canada and Australia, finding them all in compliance, found that the new EU framework complied with the Basel rules in only eight of the fourteen areas. The EU is the first international body to be given a ‘fail’ verdict by the Swiss-based regulator.

Headline:    US stocks fall as energy sector drops sharply

U.S. stocks fell on Monday as oil prices turned sharply lower and spooked investors into dumping shares of drillers and other energy-service companies. The drop in oil weighed on stocks from the start of trading. Weak trade figures out of China and news that Japan’s recession is deeper than initially thought suggested demand for crude would be lower in those two economies. Among the big losers were two Dow Jones industrial average components, Chevron, down 3.7 percent, and Exxon Mobil, off 2.3 percent. More broadly, the six-month drop in oil, which has brought the price of crude down to the lowest level in five years, suggests headwinds for the U.S. economy, said Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist at Bell Curve Trading. “When you look at the major drivers of global growth — Japan, China and the eurozone — they’re really struggling,” he said. “Can the U.S. continue to grow at a moderate pace when the rest of the world is having major problems?” Energy shares in the Standard and Poor’s 500, a broader index than the Dow, dropped to their lowest level in nearly two years. The decline of 3.9 percent was by far the biggest percentage drop among the 10 sectors in the index. Six of the 10 sectors fell. Selling was especially fierce in shares of smaller companies in the oil business. Cimarex Energy, Transocean, and Noble Energy were each down at least 5 percent. The Dow lost 106.31 points, or 0.6 percent, to 17,852.48. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 15.06 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,060.31.

Headline:  Russian scientist spies mountain-sized asteroid heading our way

A Russian astrophysicist says his team has located a huge, mountain-sized asteroid whose orbit crosses the Earth’s every three years. Even though experts say the giant object, known as 2014 UR116, poses no immediate threat of collision, its unexpected discovery underscores how little is still known about asteroids and their unpredictable orbits. In the film, Lipunov says it’s difficult to calculate the orbit of big objects like 2014 UR116 because, as they hurtle through the solar system, their trajectories are constantly being altered by the gravitational pull of nearby planets. “We need to permanently track this asteroid, because even a small mistake in calculations could have serious consequences,” he said. There is little indication that this particular asteroid could hit the Earth in the next few decades, though over a much longer period a collision looks quite likely, says Natan Esmant, an expert with the official Space Research Institute in Moscow. A more serious issue, he says, is the estimated 100,000 near-Earth objects, such as asteroids and comets, which can cross our planet’s orbit and are large enough to be dangerous. Only about 11,000 have so far been tracked and cataloged. “Every couple of days new ones are being discovered,” he says. “Scientists have increasingly powerful tools to do this work, but there’s a lot still to be done. Every object that crosses the Earth’s path can be a potential threat.”

Lava from an erupting volcano on the Cape Verde, located off the coast of West Africa, has reportedly reached a second village. The Pico de Fogo volcano on the island of Fogo first erupted on November 23, causing hundreds of residents living in the vicinity to be evacuated. According to reports by the government on Sunday, one guesthouse and multiple apartment buildings were damaged in the small village of Bangaeira as a result of the continuing volcanic eruption. Two churches were also destroyed in the neighboring village of Portela, on top of previous heavy damage to dozens of homes, a hotel and a school. No deaths have been reported so far, though multiple people have been treated for inhaling ash or poisonous gases. The government said it was the first time the volcano had erupted in 20 years.

Headline:   Hamas: Netanyahu is playing with fire by allowing Jews on Temple Mount

Headline:  Police vs politicians on the Temple Mount

Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas, railed against Jews being allowed to visit the Temple Mount and justified the recent wave in Palestinian terror attacks as a reaction to the handful of times prayer at the holy site was closed due to security concerns, in an interview with Sky News on Friday. “Netanyahu is playing with fire when he allows members of his government and the extremists to repeatedly storm the al-Aksa mosque,” he said. “That’s dangerous. For every action, there’s a reaction.” In relation to the Temple Mount being closed for Friday prayers on a number of recent occasions, Mashaal continued to lash out against the prime minister. “Our fight is a national fight. Netanyahu is turning it into a religious fight. He bears responsibility for the consequences of what’s happening,” he said. Mashaal justified the brutal Palestinian attack on a Jerusalem synagogue, which killed four Jewish prayer goers and one Druse police officer,  by repeating “I told you, for every action, there’s a reaction.”  Meanwhile, Israel Police commissioner Yohanan Danino blew away whatever illusions were left about how his agency feels about recent visits by right-wing MKs to the Mount, finally saying out loud what police have said behind closed doors and in off-the-record comments to journalists throughout Israel’s recent tensions. On Tuesday, Danino sparked the ire of many on the Right when he said, “Anyone who wants to change the status quo on the Temple Mount should not be allowed up there,” leveling criticism at what he called an “extreme right-wing agenda to change the status quo” there.

Headline:  Belgium in talks on joint EU recognition of Palestine

Belgium is on course to join a new group of EU countries calling for Palestine recognition. Its federal parliament is expected to vote next week on a draft motion asking the Belgian government to do it at a future point when it sees fit. It is legally non-binding and does not mention a deadline. The initiative comes after four of the biggest parties – the N-VA, MR, CD&V, and VLD – agreed to back the project. For its part, the Belgian foreign ministry wants to wait for two developments. It wants to see if a new French-Jordanian UN Security Council project to get an Israel-Palestine peace deal by 2016 bears fruit. It also wants to see if a new EU Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process, to be appointed shortly, can make an impact. “We’ve had 20 years of the peace process with no outcome and there is a lot of frustration in Europe with the lack of good will in Israel. But the time hasn’t come to abandon it [the process] yet”, a Belgian diplomat told EUobserver. He noted that Belgium is in talks with like-minded EU states who plan to jointly recognise Palestine if need be. He said the likely recognisers include Britain, France, Ireland, and Spain – where parliaments passed pro-recognition motions in the past six weeks.

Headline:  Obama officials mum on reports White House weighing sanctions on Israel

Headline:  Obama set on obstructing Netanyahu’s re-election

The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem. The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings. The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House. At the same time, the White House is vigorously pushing Congress against passing new sanctions on Iran.

Headline: Obama and Jordan’s King ‘Concerned’ Over Israel-PA Tensions

U.S. President Barack Obama met on Friday with King Abdullah II of Jordan at the White House, saying he was “concerned” about the tensions between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs. “We share concerns about the continuous tensions between Israel and Gaza,” Obama was quoted by UPI as having said following the meeting, adding, “We are going to work together for a Palestinian state.” The meeting comes as Jordan heads a bid to win backing for a UN resolution on a final Israeli-Palestinian settlement that could be presented to the Security Council in the coming weeks. Jordan’s Ambassador to the UN, Dina Kawar, said this week she would be meeting with representatives from Arab countries and council members to gauge whether there is support for a “unified text” on advancing Israeli-Palestinian Authority (PA) peace. If a consensus can be reached, a draft resolution could be presented to the council later this month or in January, she said. The PA, which is being backed by the Arab League, has been pushing for a draft resolution that calls for ending the “Israeli occupation” by November 2016. The text ran into opposition from the United States and other members of the council, opening the way for the Europeans led by France to begin talks on a separate draft that would set a timeframe for ending negotiations.

A militant commander in Syria who has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group has threatened to “retaliate” against Lebanese Shiites and families of Lebanese soldiers over the arrest of his wife and two children in Lebanon, according to a new militant posting. The video statement by the militant, Abu Ali Al-Shishani — whose real name is Anas Sharkas, according to Lebanese authorities — also said that mediation efforts for the release of more than 20 Lebanese soldiers held captive since August by IS and Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Syria have stopped, until his family is freed. It was unclear from the statement, released late Thursday, what role Al-Shishani has played so far in the mediation efforts, which are led by Qatar, a traditional Mideast mediator.

Headline:    Lebanese Army Says It Arrested a Wife of ISIS Leader

The Lebanese army says it has arrested one of the wives of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State (ISIS), the world’s most notorious jihadi group. The woman, an Iraqi national named Saja al-Dulaimi, was traveling with Baghdadi’s 9-year-old daughter. They both were arrested roughly a week ago as they tried to cross into northern Lebanon from Syria, the army says. A senior member of the Lebanese army, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, says Dulaimi and her daughter are being held at a Defense Ministry facility near Beirut. Dulaimi is allegedly not cooperating with the investigation led by Lebanese army intelligence, and several media outlets have stated that she is being outright hostile. Dulaimi was arrested in a part of northern Lebanon where there are small pockets of support for ISIS. It remains unclear how much information she may have about Baghdadi or the operations of his jihadi group. As word spread of the arrest earlier today, some are holding out hope that Dulaimi and her daughter can be used in a prisoner swap for 27 Lebanese police and army troops who have been held since last summer by ISIS and the Nusra Front in the rugged mountains straddling the Lebanon-Syria border. Several of the prisoners have been executed over the past few months, and their families have staged sit-ins across the country.

Clashes erupted between ISIS and Nusra Front fighters near the border with Lebanon Friday, after gunmen rejected an attempt by the latter to unite the opposition in Syria’s Qalamoun region under a single leader. The clashes were concentrated on the outskirts of the Syrian village of Ras al-Maara, a source close to the Nusra Front told The Daily Star. Ras al-Maara is a few kilometers from Lebanon’s northeastern town of Arsal, the scene of ongoing clashes between the Lebanese Army and the two jihadi groups.

Headline:  US urges embassy staff in Cairo to restrict travel in light of heightened tensions

Egyptian police on Friday dispersed a demonstration in Abdel-Moneim Riyad Square, adjacent to Cairo’s flashpoint Tahrir Square where a protest was held last week after a court cleared ousted president Hosni Mubarak of charges that he had conspired to kill protesters in 2011. Police used batons to disperse demonstrators, several of whom were arrested at random, eyewitnesses reported. Groups of people walking by Tahrir on Friday – whether intending to protest or not – were also told to break up and go their separate ways, MEE contributors on the ground reported. The Interior Ministry has yet to comment on the incident with the demonstrators, but police usually disperse unauthorised protests in line with the controversial protest law regulating street demonstrations. In a Thursday press conference, various groups including the National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy, the main support bloc of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, and a handful of youth-led groups had called for protests on Friday against the court ruling. But on Friday, in the face of heightened security, plans changed, organisers said. “We called off today’s planned protests due to the heavy presence of security forces in and around the square,” Zizo Abdou, a member of the April 6 youth movement, said. Ahead of the expected Friday protests, Egyptian security forces closed off Tahrir and erected barbed wire barriers around the square, the epicentre of that popular revolution that ousted Mubarak in 2011. Armoured vehicles was also deployed around the square and near the state television building, according to Anadolu Agency (AA). People who work in buildings on the square have been reportedly refused entry too.

Syria Headline:  ISIS fighters besiege crucial Syrian air base

Muslim militants pushed forward in their offensive on a major military air base in eastern Syria Friday capturing a nearby village in an attempt to take one of President Bashar Assad’s last outposts in a province that borders Iraq, activists said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees say clashes continued for the second day around the air base just outside the contested eastern city of Deir el-Zour. The Observatory said fighters from the Islamic State group captured the strategic village of Jafra reaching the fence of the sprawling air base. The Observatory, which has a network of activists around the country, said the fighting that started with an Islamic State offensive early Thursday has killed 30 government troops and 27 jihadi fighters. The key military air base gives government warplanes a hub from which to bomb IS-held cities and towns across much of eastern Syria. For the Islamic State group, capturing the airport would eliminate the main pocket of resistance in the area and provide a major morale and propaganda boost after a string of setbacks in recent weeks.

On Thursday, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the allied Islamic Brigades took control of the village of al-Jabin village Hama suburb, central Syria, following clashes with the pro-regime forces, local sources reported. Speaking to ARA News in Hama, opposition activist Muhannad al-Barazi said that controlling the village of al-Jabin in the western part of Hama came after fierce battles between the pro-regime forces and rebels of the FSA –backed by Islamic Brigades. “Several casualties were reported on both sides,” al-Barazi said, without specifying numbers. “FSA-regime clashes extended to the areas of Jamleh, Tel Milh in the western countryside of Hama.” In Damascus, local sources told ARA News that the pro-regime air forces attacked the town of Deir Asafir in the eastern Ghouta with rockets, injuring at least seven civilians, who were transferred to nearby filed hospitals. This coincided with clashes between the pro-regime forces and FSA fighters in the outskirts of the town of Deir Asafir. Yezen Ibrahim, civil rights activist based in Damascus, told ARA News that the pro-Assad warplanes carried out three raids on the neighboring towns of Bala and Zebdin. “Mortars and ground to ground rockets targeted the two towns launched from pro-regime bases in the town of Hitetet Jarsh.” “No casualties were reported,” the source said. These developments coincided with barrel bombs hitting the city of Zabadani by pro-regime military helicopters. Zabadani’s attacks were coupled with clashes between the Army of Islam (a rebel faction that works under the umbrella of the Islamic Front) and the pro-regime forces, in the towns of Hosh al-Fara and Taiba in the western suburb of Damascus on Thursday evening.

At least two car bombs killed as many as 37 people Thursday in Iraq, apparently targeting Shiites and Kurds. Three of the attacks targeted Shiite districts in the capital, Baghdad, while the fourth targeted a Kurdish neighborhood in the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk. Police officials said the first attack targeted a line of small restaurants in the Shiite district of Sadr City Thursday night, killing 11 people and wounding 25 others. Minutes later, a second car bomb blast near an outdoor market in the same district killed seven people and wounded 21 others. Later on, a bomb exploded near a restaurant in Baghdad’s Shiite northern neighborhood of Shaab, killing three people and wounding 12 others. In the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, a car bomb attack near a cafe killed 16 people, said deputy chief of the Kirkuk police, Maj. Gen. Torhan Abdul-Rahman Youssef. The blast took place in a Kurdish district in the city, 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Baghdad. Medics in a nearby hospital confirmed the causalities. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

The United States, in the midst of a military campaign, has not sought to stop suspected operatives from traveling to and from strongholds of Islamic State of Iraq and Levant strongholds. The administration of President Barack Obama has acknowledged that the government has not prevented any of the at least 100 suspected ISIL operatives from traveling. The State Department said it has not canceled the passports of those Americans recruited to join ISIL in Iraq and Syria. “To my knowledge, the State Department has not cancelled any passports,” State Department senior adviser Robert Bradtke said on Dec. 2. Bradtke, who works for the State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism, acknowledged that Secretary of State John Kerry was empowered to revoke the passports of Americans. But he said Kerry and the administration did not want to interfere with the freedom of travel. “We would only do it also in consultations with law enforcement authorities,” Bradtke told a Foreign Affairs subcommittee. “And we have not yet had any requests from law enforcement authorities to cancel the passports of ISIS [ISIL] or foreign fighters. So again, we have the authority; it is one tool; we do have other tools to use as well in this regard.”

Rebel gunmen have shot their way into the heavily fortified Chechen capital, Grozny, in a night-time attack which left as many as 16 people dead. Arriving at 01:00 (22:00 GMT Wednesday) in cars, they fired on a traffic police checkpoint before attacking a media building and a school. An Islamist group said it had launched a suicide attack to avenge attacks by security forces on Muslim women. Chechnya’s Moscow-backed president said the situation was under control. Ramzan Kadyrov said none of the attackers had escaped. Russian President Vladimir Putin said from Moscow he was confident Chechen security forces could handle the militants by themselves. This is the most serious violence in Grozny for some time and will be another worry for President Putin, amid a serious downturn in the Russian economy, the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford reports from Moscow.

He suggested, however, that there was an understanding between mainly Shiite Iran and the US to tackle a common threat. “If Iran is taking on (IS jihadists) in some particular place… and it has an impact, then it’s going to be net effect (that) is positive,” Kerry told a press conference after the meeting.

Sudan

Headline:  Fighting flares up in S. Sudan after rains recede

Government troops and South Sudanese rebels have been fighting for more than a week in a remote northern region of the country, in the worst clashes since the rainy season receded in recent weeks. The European Union and the United States, keen to prevent the world’s newest state sliding into chaos, have already imposed sanctions on both sides for frequent breaches of a ceasefire. The initial pact was signed in January. Joe Contreras, spokesman for the UN mission in South Sudan, said the United Nations had received reports of continuous clashes in Fangak County in Jonglei State. “The fighting has been going on for over a week there,” he said. A monitoring team from the regional African IGAD bloc, put in place to monitor ceasefire violations, briefed the United Nations about clashes in Fangak on Tuesday. He called it the most sustained fighting in a single location since May. The warring factions renewed the ceasefire pact in May and signed another deal to halt fighting early in November but each time they have quickly collapsed. Talks to reach a comprehensive agreement are continuing in Ethiopia but with little sign of progress.

Headline: U.S. Confirms ISIS Has Training Camps in Libya

Headline: Deadly air raid hits Libya militia on Tunisia border

The head of the U.S. Africa Command said on Wednesday that Washington is “very carefully” watching what he described as “nascent” Islamic State (ISIS) training camps in Libya. At the same time, Fox News reported, General David Rodriguez downplayed the threat posed by these training camps. Rodriguez said in a Pentagon press briefing that it is his belief that the camps may be made up of local militias that are trying to get on the map by working “the ISIS label.” “We don’t have enough information to know how serious they are,” he said. Rodriguez added that he could not provide any evidence that people had migrated to these camps from Iraq or Syria, where the group is active. ISIS is already known to have a presence in Libya, where it has an affiliate by the name Ansar al-Sharia which several months ago declared authority over the coastal city of Darna. Meanwhile, an airstrike hit a Libyan militia post on the border with Tunisia Friday, killing one person and wounding several others, a militia spokesman said. The Libya Shield militia accused forces loyal to the internationally recognized government of carrying out the raid close to the Ras Jedir border crossing.

Headline:     German far-Left party takes state parliament- East German communists return to power 25 years after fall of Berlin Wall

Germany’s far-Left party has returned to power in a state government for the first time since the Berlin Wall fell 25 years ago, stoking heated debate about its communist roots. The Left Party, widely seen as the successor to the Socialist Unity Party (SED) that once ruled East Germany, will head the government of Thuringia after the state parliament narrowly voted to approve a new coalition. The new state prime minister, Bodo Ramelow, used his first speech in parliament to apologise to victims of the former communist regime, and said he wanted to “reconcile rather than divide”. Thousands of people braved sub-zero temperatures on the streets of the state capital, Erfurt, on Thursday night to protest against the expected result of the vote. Angela Merkel predicted the decision would be “bad news” for Thuringia, while the German President, Joachim Gauck, broke with the traditional neutrality of his role to speak out against it.

Headline:   U.S. Warns of Attack in Turkey

American officials in Turkey are warning that extremist groups may be planning an attack on the offices of the Western-backed Syrian opposition group in Gaziantep, a city near the border with Syria. The statement, issued Wednesday by the United States Embassy in Ankara, did not name the supposed planners of the attack, including the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, which has been active recently along Turkey’s 560-mile border with Syria. But it did specify the building that might be the target. “The U.S. Embassy has received reports that extremist groups may be planning an attack against the Syrian Interim Government building” in Gaziantep, the statement said. “We remind U.S. citizens that the situation in southeast Turkey, while usually calm, can change without warning and U.S. citizens should avoid traveling in areas close to the Syrian border.” The warning came as journalists and members of international organizations in southeastern Turkey were on alert after reports claimed that Islamic State militants would try to kidnap foreigners and take them into Syria.

Thousands of protesters were expected to take to the streets of New York on Friday in a third day of demonstrations against police violence, even as prosecutors said they would consider charges against an officer for the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in November. The shooting of Akai Gurley, 28, in a dark stairwell in Brooklyn added to a string of police actions involving unarmed black men that have inflamed racial tensions throughout the United States. Since Wednesday, when a New York grand jury cleared white police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the July chokehold death of 43-year-old father-of-six Eric Garner, the city has seen two nights of angry but largely peaceful demonstrations. The decision was announced nine days after another grand jury declined to indict a white policeman for the killing in August of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, spurring rioting in the St. Louis suburb.

Headline: Suspected Boko Haram attack on Nigerian town kills dozens

An attack by suspected Boko Haram militants on Bajoga town in northeast Gombe state of Nigeria reportedly killed dozens Thursday, according to security forces and witnesses. The suspected Boko Haram fighters invaded the town while worshippers were concluding their early morning prayers, Xinhua reported. According to a security source, the gunmen entered the town in a number of Hilux vans and started shooting. The source said that the divisional police headquarters and the Police Area Command at Bajoga, as well as a bank were attacked and destroyed. Security forces engaged the terrorists in a gun battle for about three hours and eventually repelled them, the Xinhua report said. State police spokesperson Fwaje Atajiri said normalcy had been restored in the affected areas. The raid follows a string of attacks by suspected Boko Haram fighters in Nigeria, including a suicide bomb and gun attack on a mosque in the northern city of Kano last Friday, which left at least 120 people dead, according to some accounts and a few days later, an attack on the Yobe State University in Damaturu.

Suicide bombers attacked a restaurant in the town of Baidoa northwest of the Somali capital on Friday, killing up to seven people and wounding dozens of others, a police officer and a doctor said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the Islamist group al Shabaab, which wants to impose its strict interpretation of Islam on Somalia, often carries out such attacks. Friday evening is a busy time when many Somalis go out. “First a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of the restaurant and then a suicide car bomb followed when people converged to help,” Captain Nur Osman, a police officer, told Reuters by telephone. He said the death toll was at least five. Dr Abdullahi Ali, manager at Baidoa hospital, said the hospital had received seven dead with 34 others wounded in the two blasts.

Headline:  Qaeda threatens US hostage in new video

Headline: Ansarullah fighters take over Sana’a army academy

Al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen threatened an American hostage kidnapped over a year ago, giving Washington three days to meet unspecified demands and denouncing US actions in the country in a new video released on Thursday. The hostage, identified as 33-year-old Luke Somers, an American photojournalist born in Britain, is featured for the first time in the video, posted on the al-Qaeda offshoot’s Twitter account and first reported by Site Intelligence Group, which monitors militant sites. The video mimicked some of those used by al-Qaeda rivals from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group, which has beheaded several American and British hostages in the aftermath of a summer blitz that captured much of Iraq and Syria. Somers was kidnapped in September 2013 from a street in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, where he had worked as a photojournalist for the Yemen Times. Since his capture, Yemeni journalists have been holding sit-ins in Sanaa to press the government to seek his release. Somers was likely among a group of hostages who were the objective of a joint rescue mission by US operation forces and Yemeni troops last month that freed eight captives in a remote corner of Yemen’s Hadramawt province. Meanwhile, Shia fighters of Ansarullah movement in Yemen have reportedly seized the military academy in the capital city of Sana’a. Witnesses say the Shia fighters of Houthi tribe entered the academy on Friday with no resistance from the guards and stationed their patrols inside.

At least ten Indian security forces have been killed in a militant attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, police say. The attack was carried out on Friday when unknown militants, armed with grenades and automatic rifles, stormed into a military camp in Uri, near the Line of Control (LoC) that divides the disputed Himalayan region. “Seven army men, three police and three terrorists died in the firing incident,” a senior Indian police officer said on condition of anonymity. A police officer also was wounded in the attack, he added. Tensions are running high in Kashmir ahead of a visit to the disputed region by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Meanwhile, six suspected militants and one Indian soldier died in two days of fighting which started on Tuesday in the snowy and mountainous Naugam area of Kashmir.

The Deutsche Bundesbank said gross domestic product (GDP) in Germany is expected to grow at only one percent next year — half of what it predicted earlier for the year. The economy will also perform less than expected this year, growing at 1.4 percent instead of the 1.9 percent the bank predicted in June. The German economy lost considerable momentum in the second and third quarters of 2014, the bank said, adding that growth reflects a more level path.

Headline:  Labor Force Participation Remains at 36-Year Low

The labor force participation rate remained at a 36-year low of 62.8 percent in November, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The participation rate, which is the percentage of the civilian noninstitutional population who participated in the labor force by either having a job during the month or actively seeking one, was 62.8 percent in November which matches the percentage since March 1978. In November, according to BLS, the nation’s civilian noninstitutional population, consisting of all people 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution, reached 248,844,000. Of those, 156,397,000 participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking one. The 156,397,000 who participated in the labor force was 62.8 percent of the 248,844,000 civilian noninsttutional population, which matches the 62.8 percent rate in April, May, June, August and October of 2014 as well as the participation rate in March of 1978. The participation rate hit its lowest level of 62.7 percent in September 2014. Another 92,447,000 people did not participate in the labor force. These Americans did not have a job and were not actively trying to find one. When President Obama took office in January 2009, there were 80,529,000 Americans who were not participating in the office, which means that since then, 11,918,000 Americans have left the workforce.

Sierra Leone said Friday that between 80 and 100 new cases of Ebola are being reported every day and the country now hardest-hit by the deadly virus desperately needs over 1,000 beds to treat victims. Sierra Leone’s Finance Minister Kaifalah Marah painted a grim picture to the U.N. Economic and Social Council Friday of the challenges facing his West African nation which failed to meet a World Health Organization interim goal of isolating 70 percent of Ebola patients and safely burying 70 percent of victims by Dec. 1. The two other hard-hit countries, Liberia and Guinea, did meet the deadline, and the U.N.’s Ebola chief Dr. David Nabarro said the number of new cases in Liberia has dropped from 60 per day in September to 10 per day now. But Nabarro and WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan stressed that Ebola that a much greater effort is needed to reach the elusive goal of zero new cases. “The Ebola outbreak is the largest, longest, most severe and most complex Ebola epidemic in the nearly 40-year history of this disease,” Chan said. “What began as a health crisis has become a crisis with humanitarian, social, economic and security implications.”

Headline:   California drought, high temperatures create worst conditions in 1,200 years: study

A combination of record high temperatures and sparse rainfall during California’s three-year drought have produced the worst conditions in 1,200 years, according to a study accepted for publication by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The state has gone through numerous periods of dry weather, with as little or less rainfall as the past few years, but scientists looking at the cumulative effects of temperature, low precipitation and other factors said that it all adds up to the worst conditions in more than a millennium. “The current California drought is exceptionally severe in the context of at least the last millennium and is driven by reduced though not unprecedented precipitation and record high temperatures,” the report’s authors said in the study released late Thursday. The study by the University of Minnesota and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said that warm, dry conditions have shrunk the supply of surface water from reservoirs, streams and the Sierra Nevada snowpack in the state, even as demand from people and farms has gone up, resulting in unprecedented scarcity.

A preliminary report posted Wednesday morning on Woodward County’s Ready Woodward Emergency Management site indicated a small earthquake shook the Mooreland region at about 7:30 Wednesday morning. The quake measured 4.0 on the Richter Scale and was fairly shallow – about 4 miles deep – according to the preliminary report posted by Matt Lehenbauer. There have been a total of four earthquakes in the last 24 hours measuring above 2.0 on the Richter Scale in the Mooreland region, Lehenbauer said. “They really have to be pretty shallow, 5 miles or less deep and more than 3.0 on the scale to be felt here,” Lehenbauer said. There have been 18 in the same region in the last month and 121 since January, he added.

Headline:   Abbas Presents ‘Plan of Attack’ for Palestinian State

Headline:  Abbas: Palestinians will never recognize Israel as Jewish state

More details have been released regarding Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s speech to the Arab League on Saturday revealing that Abbas has concocted a comprehensive plan to flatten Israel politically and bypass the need for bilateral negotiations to establish a Palestinian state. Abbas’s plan includes approaching the UN Security Council with a draft resolution to establish the state in Judea and Samaria, over 1949 Armistice lines – as he has threatened to do before. However, the details of the plan include a specific “plan of attack” against Israel, as follows:

• To turn to the UN Security Council with the draft resolution for a Palestinian state, with its capital in Jerusalem.
• To add the “State of Palestine” to international bodies and organizations, including the International Criminal Court (ICC), and file charges against Israel. Abbas noted here that Israel has preceded him in this regard, a reference to litigation filed against him by rights group Shurat Hadin over war crimes he and the Palestinian Authority perpetuated during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, by virtue of the PA’s unity pact with Hamas.
•  Preparation of an international meeting in Geneva to officially declare a Palestinian State on 1949 Armistice Line borders.
• Calls on countries who have not yet recognized the PA-Hamas government as the country “Palestine” to do so. This aspect of the plan follows the recent declaration by three separate Western countries (Sweden, the UK, and Spain) whose parliaments have recognized “Palestine,” and ahead of a controversial vote on the issue by a fourth (France).

Abbas is indeed moving forward with plans to turn to the Security Council with a resolution setting a deadline for Israel to “end the occupation”, a unilateral move that is in violation of the Oslo Accords. The move has been accompanied by public threats, with Abbas having recently threatened to cut ties with Israel if his latest unilateral move at the UN fails.

Headline:  Israel’s government on verge of collapse as coalition partners turn on Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel’s government was on the verge of collapse Sunday night as a split over a controversial new law designating the country as a Jewish state deepened into an all-out assault by cabinet rivals on Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister. Mr. Netanyahu signalled that he was ready to call an early general election to stifle the rebellion, led by ministers from centrist coalition partners to his right-wing Likud Party. He lashed out angrily after his finance minister, Yair Lapid, the leader of the Yesh Atid party, publicly accused him of playing “petty politics” while ignoring weighty issues such as the budget and Israel’s foreign relations, in the latest of a series of rancorous exchanges. Recently, hardly a day passes without us running into diktats or threats of resignation, or ultimatums and such, as ministers attack the government and its prime minister,” Mr. Netanyahu told Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting. “I hope that we will be able to return to proper conduct. This is what the public expects of us because only thus is it possible to run the country, and if not, we will draw conclusions.” His comments were the clearest sign yet that the country was heading toward an early election, less than two years after Mr. Netanyahu formed a mostly right-wing coalition in which Mr. Lapid headed the second-biggest party.

Headline:  Tensions Between Hamas and Fatah Rise As Dispute Over Unity Government Continues

A leading official of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement has challenged a claim by Hamas that the unity government formed between the two factions in April has expired, claiming that there was never any agreement that the unity government would last only six months. Faisal Abu Shahla said that the unity government was assigned to carry out a number of tasks, including holding elections, “within at least six months,” but that it was never agreed that the government term would end if it did not complete those tasks within that time frame. “If the Hamas movement has retracted the reconciliation agreement and the termination of rivalry, that is a different case,” Abu Shahla said, according to the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that the six-month mandate of the national consensus government had ended. Any decision on whether the government should be disbanded or continued or be reshuffled must be made only through national dialogue and consensus, Abu Zuhri said.

Headline:  Syrian FM: Israel ‘Secretly’ Behind Al-Nusra

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem on Sunday accused Israel of “aiding the rebels in Syria.” His proof: “Every time the Syrian army advances” and positions itself to retake territory from the rebels who are fighting against the government of Bashar al-Assad, “there is an Israeli strike, either land-based with tanks, or from the air. I say that this proves that Israel is a main partner of Jabhat al-Nusra, the Al-Nusra Front, which is fighting against our forces on our southern border,” he said. As further evidence, al-Muallem pointed out a comment by Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon. “We are not the first to point out this partnership,” al-Muallem said. “The Israelis themselves say it. Moshe Ya’alon said that Al-Nusra is a ‘mild’ group, even though it is on the list of international terror organizations. Ya’alon even proudly pointed out that some members of the group are getting treatment in Israeli hospitals,” al-Muallem added. It’s not clear to what al-Muallem was referring. In a recent interview, Ya’alon took a tough stance aganst Al-Nusra. “We enjoy a relatively calm situation on the border of the Golan Heights. They understand that if they violate our sovereignty, we immediately respond,” he said, in a discussion of the different terror groups operating in Syria and prospects of a breakup of the country. “Israel is seeking to set up a ‘buffer zone’ between Israel and Syria, and Israel and Jordan, through the employment of Al-Nusra,” al-Muallem added. “This is what they did in South Lebanon. They are encouraging terror elements to enter Syria via Jordan.” Israel had no comment, but a diplomatic source said that al-Muallem “had been rumored to have been ill recently, but we didn’t realize that it was a mental health issue.”

Headline: Clashes break out in West Bank town after stabbing attack

Residents of Beit Fajjar south of Bethlehem clashed with Israeli police Monday, in the wake of a stabbing attack on an Israeli by a 22-year-old woman from the West Bank town. Police attempted to disperse the rioters with tear gas. Security forces surrounded the home of Amal Taqatqa before the clashes broke out, shortly after she attacked an Israeli earlier in the day at the nearby Gush Etzion junction south of Jerusalem. Her father was arrested, according to Palestinian news agency Ma’an. Taqatqa was shot by soldiers at the scene and was brought to Hadassah-Ein Kerem hospital in serious condition. The Palestinian Ma’an news site said she was affiliated with the Fatah movement. The Israeli victim was identified as Yehoshua Lorch.

Jordan

Headline: Jordanians Protest Against ‘Dangerous’ Jewish State Law

Hundreds of Jordanians on Friday joined a rally organized by the Muslim Brotherhood to denounce Israeli plans to enshrine in law the country’s status as the national Jewish homeland. An estimated 1,500 protesters set off from the Husseini mosque in downtown Amman holding up signs saying “Al-Aqsa is in danger”, according to AFP. “There is a greater danger today, and that is the Jewish state draft law,” Hamzeh Mansur, the former head of the Brotherhood’s Islamic Action Front party, told the protesters. “Where is Jordan’s custodianship over Jerusalem and where is the promised Palestinian state?” he asked. The protest comes amid tensions between Israel and Jordan in recent weeks, mostly around the Temple Mount, over which the Jordanian Waqf has control which it uses to restrict Jewish prayer and build illegal structures on the compound. The Jewish State law, which was the subject of Friday’s protest, seeks to enshrine in law Israel’s being a Jewish state.

Headline:    Egypt Designates ISIS and its Affiliates as Terrorist Groups

Islamic State-affiliated militants in Egypt have claimed responsibility for the death of an American oil worker, believed to be the first western victim of a deadly campaign that has blighted the country for over a year. “We claim responsibility for the killing of American oil expert William Henderson in the Western Desert,” the Ansar Bayt el Maqdis (ABM) militant group wrote on its Twitter account late on Sunday night. It did not say when or how it had killed him. The message was accompanied by photographs of Mr Henderson’s passport and identification cards, one carrying the logo of Apache, an international oil and gas exploration and production company. Henderson, 58, is believed to have been killed on August 6 in Egypt’s Western Desert, a vast expanse of land running up to the western border with Libya. Egyptian security officials later confirmed the incident had taken place, saying one of Apache’s American employees had been shot while driving between the headquarters of Apache’s sister company, located in the Qarun oasis, and Karama oil field, south west of Cairo.

Syria Headline:  25% of Kobani Remains Under Control of Islamic State

Fighting has intensified in the besieged Syrian border town of Kobane, where Kurdish forces have been holding Islamic State at bay since September. IS militants launched at least four suicide attacks, with reports saying at least 25 people were killed. The first of the attacks was near the Turkish border crossing. It is thought to be the first fighting in that area. The first suicide vehicle bomb targeted a Kurdish position close to the Turkish border at dawn on Saturday. Kurdish sources said the bomber had crossed from Turkey, but Turkish officials denied this as “lies”. Clashes followed at the site of the attack and to the south-west of the town. The UK-based activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said there were three more suicide bombings – one an individual with a suicide vest and the other two vehicle bombs. As the clashes intensified, there were reports that IS had brought up tanks to join the fighting. Meanwhile two US-led air strikes were carried out against IS positions in the east of Kobane. In all, 25 people were killed in the clashes, most of them IS fighters, reports said. IS has captured parts of the town and dozens of villages in the area around it in an offensive lasting more than two months.

Syria Headline:  Syria Claims Terror Groups Used Chlorine as Weapon

Syria’s vice foreign minister denied Monday that his government ever used chemical weapons or chlorine during the country’s brutal civil war and warned that terror groups are using such weapons. Faysal Mekdad was speaking at a meeting of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons as the group comes close to fully eliminating Damascus’ deadly stockpile of nerve agents and poison gas ? helping international efforts to prevent terrorists using such weapons. Mekdad said that terror groups “have used chlorine gas in several of the regions of Syria and Iraq.” It’s not the first time such claims have been made. In October, Iraqi officials said militants from the Islamic State group used chlorine gas during fighting with security forces and Shiite militiamen north of Baghdad. The statements in Iraq came two days after Kurdish officials and doctors said they believed IS militants had released some kind of toxic gas in an eastern district of Kobani. President Bashar Assad’s government also is widely believed to have unleashed chemical weapons during the civil war, despite its repeated denials.

At least 19 people were killed, including seven women and two children, when Syrian government warplanes struck the town of Jassim in the southern province of Deraa on Sunday, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Dozens of others were wounded and the death toll was expected to rise because a number were in critical condition, the Observatory said. The Observatory added that the regime air force carried out 11 raids in the town al-Sheikh Meskin in Deraa Province, where regime forces, supported by Hezbollah militias battled rebel fighters. Meanwhile, a man reportedly died in the town of Nawa under torture inside a regime jail, the monitoring group said. In Rif Dimashq Province, regime warplanes reportedly dropped 14 barrel bombs with no information on casualties. The situation escalated in Daraa after the FSA fighters and allied Islamic battalions advanced in areas near the capital Damascus.

Syria Headline:  Islamic State seizes villages near Syria’s Hasakah

On Sunday morning, the Islamic State group (IS/ISIS) took control of the village of Rafraf  (10 km west of the city of Hasakah), in northeastern Syria, following two weeks of clashes with the Syrian regime forces. Speaking to ARA News, one of the displaced people from Rafraf said that about 500 IS militants entered the village after forcing pro-regime military forces to withdraw from the area. “The group (IS) installed several checkpoints in the vicinity of the village after controlling its entrances, and took schools and mosques as strongholds,” said the source, under the condition of anonymity for security reasons. This coincided with violent clashes between IS militants and the pro-regime forces in other areas of the western countryside of Hasakah. Meanwhile, civil rights activist Hozan Saeed, based in Hasakah, stated to ARA News that the pro-regime military helicopters dropped two barrel bombs on the vicinity of the IS-held al-Siddiq junction on Sunday. “No casualties were reported.” Saeed also mentioned the outbreak of clashes between pro-regime forces and IS militants in the southern countryside of Hasakah, while several artillery shells the village of Oum Makhroom (20 km south of Hasakah).

At least 20 ISIL Takfiri terrorists have been killed and dozens injured when Iraqi border guards thwarted an attempt by the militants to infiltrate into the western province of Anbar. The Takfiris were trying to enter the town of al-Waleed, situated on the Syrian border and located approximately 550 kilometers (341 miles) west of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Monday. The Iraqi guards confronted and killed twenty of the infiltrators, while scores of others sustained injuries. Sixteen Iraqi border guards were also killed during the incident. Separately, Iraqi security forces killed four terrorists, among them a sniper, during an operation in the Sijariya neighborhood in eastern Ramadi, located about 110 kilometers (68 miles) west of Baghdad.

Iraq Headline:   First footage surfaces: Iranian jet seen attacking ISIS targets in Iraq

The Iranian Air Force is bombing Islamic State (ISIS) targets inside Iraqi territory. It is an intensification of Iran’s military involvement on the side of the Shia regime of its neighbor and most likely also a sign of its alleged coordination with the U.S. military which is leading the international coalition fighting ISIS. The first footage of an Iranian aircraft bombing inside Iraq was broadcast by Al Jazeera a few days ago in a report on a joint operation by the Kurdish Peshmerga forces, Iraq’s army and Shia militias to recapture two Kurdish towns in northeastern Iraq, near the Iranian border. The report mentions “Iraqi jet-fighters,” but the plane seen bombing ISIS positions is a F-4 Phantom, which is not in Iraqi service. In recent months Iran has increased its military assistance to the Iraqi army which is on the brink of collapsing in the face of ISIS advance and has also established and equipped Shia militias. In addition to the military advice and arms supplies, there have been multiple reports of active participation of members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) in the fighting and unconfirmed reports of the deployment of Iranian aircraft to airfields in Iraq, but the Al Jazeera footage is the first documented of Iranian air attacks on Iraqi territory.

Iraq Headline: IS Captures Weapons Cache that Formerly Belonged to Insurgent Group “Hamas – Iraq”

The Iraqi army has retaken from Islamist insurgents a sprawling complex where aging remnants of late President Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons program are stored in bunkers, the country’s deputy foreign minister said on Monday. Islamic State militants, who had seized the area during a lightning offensive last June, were not able to penetrate the fortified bunkers, Mohammad Jawad Al-Doraky told delegates at a chemical weapons conference in The Hague. He said Iraqi government forces had now managed to oust Islamic State from the compound, where two sealed bunkers contain stockpiles of old chemicals, rockets and equipment. Al-Doraky said a facility set up under a plan to destroy the chemicals, built with tens of millions of dollars in U.S. funding, had been looted. The area north of Baghdad had also been mined, postponing the demolition plan that had been set to be carried out this year. “The Iraqi army, during the past period, has recovered the Muthanna site and the roads leading to it,” he told delegates at the annual conference of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). “Military engineers are now working on removing mines and explosive devices from around the site and the region,” he said. “The terrorists were unable to penetrate the fortified bunkers.”

Headline:  Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam with violence

Pope Francis said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence was wrong and called on Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype. Francis, the leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, told reporters aboard his plane returning from a visit to Turkey that he understood why Muslims were offended by many in the West who automatically equated their religion with terrorism. The Argentine pope, who has been trying to foster cooperation with moderate Islam in order to work for peace and protect Christians in the Middle East, said it was wrong for anyone to react to terrorism by being “enraged” against Islam. “You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups,” he said. “They (Muslims) say: ‘No, we are not this, the Koran is a book of peace, it is a prophetic book of peace’.” Francis said he had made the suggestion of a global condemnation of terrorism by Islamic leaders in talks on Friday with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. “I told the president that it would be beautiful if all Islamic leaders, whether they are political, religious or academic leaders, would speak out clearly and condemn this because this would help the majority of Muslim people,” he said. Francis several times condemned Islamic State’s insurgents during his three-day trip. On the plane, he said some Christians had been forced to abandon everything: “They are driving us out of the Middle East.”

Headline:    NATO announces deterrent force to contain Russia

Russia is launching a new national defense facility, which is meant to monitor threats to national security in peacetime, but would take control of the entire country in case of war. The new top-security, fortified facility in Moscow includes several large war rooms, a brand new supercomputer in the heart of a state-of-the-art data processing center, underground facilities, secret transport routes for emergency evacuation and a helicopter pad, which was deployed for the first time on Nov. 24 on the Moscow River. The Defense Ministry won’t disclose the price tag for the site, but it is estimated at the equivalent of several billion dollars. The new National Defense Control Center (NDCC) is a major upgrade on what was previously called the Central Command of the General Staff, a unit tasked with round-the-clock monitoring of military threats against Russia, particularly ballistic missile launches, and deployment of strategic nuclear weapons. It was roughly a counterpart to the US National Military Command Center, the Pentagon’s principal command and control site.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday the armed forces should increase their combat capability regardless of political considerations, in an apparent allusion to continuing nuclear talks with the West aimed at easing tension in the Middle East. “Given our vast maritime borders and the enemy’s huge investments in this area, our armed forces should continuously improve their (combat) readiness, irrespective of political calculations,” Khamenei told a gathering of senior navy officials during a ceremony to mark the “Navy Week” in Iran. Khamenei, who commands all branches of the armed forces in addition to other key centers of power in the Islamic republic, did not mention any countries by name but he normally uses “enemy” to refer mainly to the United States and Britain — both of which have intervened in Iran over the past century. “Peacetime offers great opportunities for our armed forces to … build up on preemptive capacities,” said Khamenei, with state television playing excerpts of his speech.

Sudan

Headline:  Sudan embraces genocide, terrorism — and Iran

Headline:  Russian Foreign Minister to Visit Sudan

It is not often that we’re able to listen in on the comments of senior officials in a government that stands internationally accused of genocide. But that’s exactly what we’ve been given through the leaked minutes of a security meeting held Aug. 31 by top military and security officials in Sudan. Prominent in the document are plans for further genocidal tactics in parts of the country. In rebellious South Kordofan, according to the minutes, the government’s strategy is to “starve” (a translation of the Arabic) the civilian population by ensuring that it can’t harvest this year’s crops and thus support rebels near the border with South Sudan. This is counterinsurgency at its cheapest. First Vice President Bakri Hassan Saleh put the matter tersely: “Support the mechanism intended to disperse or empty the IDP [internally displaced persons] camps.” While the “mechanism” is left unspecified, increasingly brutal assaults on camps for internally displaced persons suggest that it will be cruel and bloody, forcing people who’ve had their homes and farms seized to flee into lawless lands beyond reach of humanitarian assistance. The minutes, along with other important documents, were leaked by someone either within the ruling National Congress Party or with close ties to the regime. They were delivered by intermediaries to a primary Arabic news Web site and to me, presumably because of my research and advocacy on behalf of the marginalized peoples of Sudan. The Sudanese regime split badly following the bloody suppression of popular uprisings in September 2013. Hardliners now wield all real power, and these were the men whose thoughts were captured in the Aug. 31 minutes. The leak was clearly meant to undermine the credibility of what has become a vicious junta. Though little noticed in the West, the revelation instantly attracted considerable interest in the Arab world, and the evidence that the minutes are authentic is substantial. The highly authoritative Africa Confidential has judged them so, as has former prime minister Sadiq al-Mahdi, who still enjoys extraordinary contacts within the government. Notably, senior regime officials have not denied outright the document’s authenticity.

About 400 people have been killed in six weeks of heavy fighting between Libyan pro-government forces and Islamist groups in Libya’s second-largest city Benghazi, medical staff said on Saturday. Backed by forces led by a former general, the newly formed government army launched in mid-October an offensive against Islamists in Benghazi, expelling them from the airport area and from several camps the army had lost during the summer. In the past three weeks the fighting has centered around Benghazi’s commercial port where pro-government forces say Islamists are holed up. The port has had to close, disrupting food supplies in the eastern city. “The death toll has risen to 400,” a source at a Benghazi hospital said, declining to be identified for security reasons. Medics at other hospitals in the city confirmed the estimated death toll. The fighting in Benghazi is part of wider turmoil in the North African country. Two governments, each with their own parliament and army chief of staff are vying for legitimacy, three years after the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi. In August, Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni and his cabinet were forced to leave Tripoli for the east of Libya when group called Libya Dawn seized the capital. The new rulers set up their own government and parliament, but these have not been recognized by the United Nations and world powers. The situation has been complicated by the Benghazi fighting where former general Khalifa Haftar has merged his force with the army under a mandate from the elected parliament, which is allied to Thinni and also operates out of the east. Haftar’s spokesman Mohamed El Hejazi said his forces had surrounded the Islamists in the port area. “All types of weapons including aircraft supporting the infantry are being used to deal with them,” he said. Western powers and Libya’s neighbors fear the conflict is dragging the major oil producer towards civil war.

Germany

Headline:   Nearly 40 per cent of Germans support Russia’s annexation of Crimea, according to an opinion poll

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea has found supporters in an unlikely country: A November 23 opinion poll in Germany found that nearly 40 per cent of the country’s population accept the move. The surprising result has stirred debate in Germany, prompting some to ask: Is Germany Russia’s closest ally in the West? The opinion poll was conducted by Infratest dimap, a well-regarded German institute that interviewed 1000 Germans above the age of 14. It also determined that 43 per cent of Germans do not feel immediately threatened by Russia’s foreign policy. Nevertheless, an Infratest dimap survey conducted in August found that 80 per cent of Germans blamed Putin for the escalating conflict in eastern Ukraine. So the more recent poll could indicate that Germans want to stop Putin from pursuing his strategy in eastern Ukraine but believe the West also needs to make a concession – by officially accepting the Russian annexation of Crimea. Germans have grown increasingly critical of the West. After trust in the United States suffered during the Iraq war, the National Security Agency spying scandal provoked new anger and provided arguments to those who wanted to position Germany as a negotiator between Russia and the West, rather than as a strong US ally.

Headline:   ISIS Is Now Launching Attacks From Inside Turkey

Turkey’s main Kurdish party on Saturday accused the government of turning a blind eye to—if not outright supporting—ISIS militants within its borders after suicide bombers attacked the town of Kobani along its southern border with Syria. The Turkish government vehemently denies the claims. ISIS “used to attack the town from three sides,” said the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Nawaf Khalil, a spokesman for Syria’s Kurdish Democratic Union Party, in a statement. “Today, they are attacking from four sides,” noting the addition of Turkey. Mustafa Bali, a Kobani-based activist, told the Associated Press that ISIS fighters have taken positions in the grain silos on the Turkish side of the border and to coordinate and launch attacks along the border near the crossing point. “It is now clear that Turkey is openly cooperating with Daesh,” said Bali

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday holds talks in Ankara with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to tighten links which have survived potentially grave disputes over the Syria and Ukraine crises. The talks are expected to focus on energy cooperation — with Ankara seeking not only a reduction in gas prices from Russia but also greater import volumes ahead of the winter — as well key diplomatic issues. It will be the first time the pair have met face-to-face since Erdogan moved from the post of prime minister to president in August, the same job change that Putin himself made in 2012.

It’s been one week since the streets of Ferguson boiled over after protesters learned the officer who shot teenager Michael Brown won’t face criminal charges. Since then, much has changed. And much hasn’t. The looting and arson that marred last week’s protests are over. But the demonstrations continue in Missouri and across the country. Activists are calling for students to walk out of school and employees to walk off the job nationwide at 1 p.m. ET Monday to protest police violence. And over the Thanksgiving weekend, Ferguson-area organizers called for a Black Friday shopping boycott, forcing the St. Louis Galleria Mall to shut down temporarily on the busiest shopping day of the year. St. Louis officials urged Galleria retailers to close security gates after several hundred protesters entered the mall and disrupted shopping. Protesters chanted “Hands up, don’t shop,” while others lay on the floor in a “die-in.”

Two bombers have attacked a crowded market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, killing more than 10 people. Borno State police spokesman, Gideon Jibrin, said the assailants “detonated an explosive in Monday market in two different locations killing more than 10, and injuring many.” Goni Abba, a witness at the scene, said: “I counted 10 dead bodies and over 20 others have injuries.” Two female bombers had also struck the market last Tuesday, killing more than 45. Also on Monday, blasts and gunfire broke out in the northeastern city of Damaturu. According to residents, the raid took place at about 4:45 a.m. (0345 GMT) when Takfiri Boko Haram militants targeted a mobile police base on the outskirts of the city, the capital of Yobe State. Yobe, along with two other states, was placed under a state of emergency in May 2013 due to the Takfiri-fueled violence.

Explosions struck the town of Wajir in northern Kenya near the border with Somalia on Monday evening and one person was killed in a gun attack that coincided with the blasts, emergency workers and police said. A police officer said the assault was probably carried out by Somali Islamist militants. The incident occurred in an area in Wajir called Ngamia, where there are police posts and a social club used by government workers. The Interior Ministry said on Twitter that three armed men launched the attack. The Kenya Red Cross said about a dozen people were taken to hospital after the blasts and gunfire. “A patient shot in the attack died,” said health worker Abdi Kullow at the hospital. A police officer also confirmed one person had died of gunshot wounds. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The Somali Islamist group al Shabaab has said in the past that it would attack Kenya in retaliation for Nairobi’s decision to send Kenyan troops to Somalia with an African Union peacekeeping force. The African forces have been battling al Shabaab militants and driving them out of strongholds there.

Headline: Hong Kong protest leaders announce hunger strike

Hong Kong police have clashed with pro-democracy activists overnight, briefly shutting down government offices on Monday. Protesters fought police armed with pepper spray, batons and water hoses on Lung Wo Road in the Admiralty district. On Monday, an injunction was granted to clear an area just west of the main Admiralty protest site. That sparked fears of more violence after what was already some of the worst unrest in two months of protests. The protesters want the people of Hong Kong to be allowed to choose their leaders in the 2017 elections without intervention from Beijing. The Chinese government has said it will allow universal suffrage, but candidates for the post of chief executive will be screened first. After the clashes, Chief Executive CY Leung warned activists not to come back to the protest site later on Monday. “From this day on, the police will take resolute action when carrying out their duties. I call on the students who are thinking of returning to the occupation area tonight not to do so. “Don’t mistake the police tolerance as weakness.” The unrest flared late on Sunday, after student protest leaders called on supporters to converge on the offices of Mr Leung on Lung Wo Road.

Headline:   India: Maoists gun down 14 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh, 2 officers among the dead

At least 14 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and about a dozen wounded in an encounter with Maoists near Chintagufa in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Monday, the biggest loss of lives in anti-Maoist operations after the NDA government assumed charge in May. Security forces were deep inside the forests about 450 km from state capital Raipur, when Maoist gunmen attacked them, using villagers as shields, officials said. The CRPF launched a special operation on November 16 to corner the First Battalion of the CPI (Maoist)’s Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee who have a stronghold in the area. “Fourteen jawans have died in the ambush,” additional director general (anti-Maoist operation) Rajinder Kumar Vij told HT. The dead included two officers. The death toll is likely to go up with security forces unable to carry out rescue operations in the firing that went on until late evening. “We have to wait till Tuesday morning to take out the injured personnel and the bodies from the remote forested terrain,” Vij added.

Last week, total US debt was a meager $17,963,753,617,957.26. Two days later, as updated today, on Black Friday, total outstanding US public debt just hit a new historic level which probably would be better associated with a red color: as of the last work day of November, total US public debt just surpassed $18 trillion for the first time, or $18,005,549,328,561.45 to be precise, of which debt held by the public rose to $12,922,681,725,432.94, an increase of $32 billion in one day. It also means that total US debt to nominal GDP as of Sept 30, which was $17.555 trillion, is now 103%. Keep in mind this GDP number was artificially increased by about half a trillion dollars a year ago thanks to the “benefit” of R&D and intangibles. Without said definitional change, debt/GDP would now be about 106%. It also means that total US debt has increased by 70% under Obama, from $10.625 trillion on January 21, 2009 to $18.005 trillion most recently.

Headline:  Emerging Stocks Decline Most in 17 Months on Oil as Ruble Slides

The Russian national currency has suffered its worst one-day fall since a financial crisis in 1998. Russia’s ruble recorded its worst daily fall since that time on Monday, as crude oil prices dropped even further. Approximately half of Russia’s federal budget revenues are generated by oil and natural gas exports. On Monday, Brent crude hit $67.53 per barrel, the lowest since October 2009. At one point in the day, the ruble slumped by over 8 percent landing at over 53 rubles per each US dollar. At the end of the main trading session in Moscow, it picked itself up and stopped at 52 rubles against the dollar and 56 per euro. From the beginning of the year, the ruble has suffered around 40 percent devaluation against its US counterpart. Global crude oil started to drop after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decided to maintain crude output in an oversupplied market.

Headline:  Oil prices drop to their lowest level in five years

Headline: Gas Heading Below $2.00 a Gallon in Southern U.S.

Oil prices fell to their lowest in five years on Monday, hit by slowing factory activity in China and Europe and hammering emerging market stocks and commodity-linked currencies. Plunging prices for oil and other commodities raised fears of deflation, especially in the euro zone and Japan, and the prospect of looser monetary policy pushed the yen to a seven-year low against the dollar in Asian trade. In a further blow to Japan, the Moody’s ratings firm cut its credit rating to A1 with a stable outlook from A3, briefly pushing the yen even lower. Russia’s rouble dropped more than 4 percent against the dollar while Malaysia’s ringgit, also oil-dependent, was on course for its biggest two-day fall since the 1997-8 Asian financial crisis. Oil prices have been falling for five months as abundant supply outstrips demand. OPEC last week declined to curb output to lift prices. Brent crude fell 2.4 percent on Monday alone, to $68.54 a barrel.

***If you’re like me you’ve been driving around, stopping at gas stations and praising God for the drop in fuel prices, wondering why on earth everyone is SO upset about the falling price of oil.

Here is what Zero Hedge has to say: “The price of crude oil is falling towards $40 a barrel, and while this benefits American consumers, especially those in the south, it indicates a global recession because production alone is unlikely to cause such a drastic decline in oil prices. “Oil’s decline is proving to be the worst since the collapse of the financial system in 2008 and threatening to have the same global impact of falling prices three decades ago that led to the Mexican debt crisis and the end of the Soviet Union,” Bloomberg reported. The prices are declining partially due to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ decision not to cut production to try and force the U.S. shale industry out of business. But can production alone account entirely for the 37% decline in oil prices since July? It would appear a lack of demand combined with no cuts in production are driving oil’s free fall, and imploding demand is indicative of a global recession.”

If you don’t understand that either (which I didn’t) don’t feel bad- we aren’t a country, nor are most of us billionaires with millions of dollars sunk into oil investment. While us ‘little people’ are happy with this- because it gives us more money in our pocket to spend on other things beside gas, those who run the ‘big operations’ are panicking.   At first, I though perhaps Saudi (OPEC head) had an ‘idea’ to NOT curb output to stop ISIS from making money on their black market oil- which could still be true.   Let’s look at what Reagan called Trickle Down Economics (for simple people LOL). You work for a major company that has billions of dollars. The head owner has decided to put his money into oil for investment. Instead of getting a return on $103 a barrel, he is now getting a return on $65 a barrel. Where is the other $38 going? He’s lost it. And when you take $38 times millions, it’s quite a loss. Chances are he isn’t going to cut his lifestyle to make up for it- he won’t sell his house or car, but he MAY sell a company, which provides tax write-offs. Now you’re out of a job. Then what happens? And try imagining this on the scale of a country like Russia or Saudi Arabia. Default can loom.

The head of the UN Ebola response mission in West Africa has told the BBC there is still a “huge risk” the deadly disease could spread to other parts of the world. Tony Banbury declined to say if targets he had set in the fight against Ebola, to be achieved by Monday, had been met. The targets were for the proportion of people being treated and for the safe burial of highly infectious bodies. The UN boss was speaking in Freetown, one of the worst-affected areas. In October, Mr Banbury told the UN Security Council that by 1 December, “70% of all those infected by the disease must be under treatment and 70% of the victims safely buried if the outbreak is to be successfully arrested”. Mr Banbury said the 70% targets were being met in “the vast majority” of areas in the three worst-affected countries – Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. “But in some areas”, he said, “including here in Sierra Leone – especially in the capital Freetown and in the town of Port Loko – we are falling short. And it is in those areas where we really need to focus our assets and our capabilities”. The American UN boss added that, even so, “there is a huge risk to the world that Ebola will spread. It may spread around this sub-region, or someone could get on a plane to Asia, Latin America, North America or Europe… that is why it is so important to get down to zero cases as quickly as possible”.

Atheist activists are taking their campaigns to the Bible Belt this Christmas with a provocative billboard campaign that is expected to stir controversy in America’s religious heartlands. The giant advertising hoardings in the Tennessee cities of Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis and Fort Smith, Arkansas show a mischievous-looking young girl writing her letter to Father Christmas: “Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is to skip church!

The advertising campaign by the American Atheists group will run until Christmas Eve and is the first time the group has aimed its anti-God adverts directly at residential religious areas, having previously targeted urban audiences in big venues such as Times Square in New York. “Today’s adults have no obligation to pretend to believe the lies their parents believed. It’s OK to admit that your parents were wrong about God, and it’s definitely OK to tell your children the truth,” said David Silverman, the group’s president, as he launched the campaign. In a sign of the hostility the adverts are expected to generate, American Atheists said that it had failed secure a single billboard site in Jackson, Mississippi after leasing companies collectively refused to offer space, fearing a community backlash.

Headline:  2014 Boils Toward Warmest Year Ever with Three More Records Broken

Even if it’s freezing in your personal universe, Earth as a whole just broke three “warmest” records and is likely to see 2014 go down as the warmest since record keeping began in 1880, scientists reported Thursday. Driven by record warm oceans, combined sea and land temperatures in October were the warmest on record, according to data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. On top of that, January-October was the warmest first 10 calendar months, while November 2013 to October 2014 was the warmest 12-month block. Data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed where the records fell, in large part due to record warm oceans:

• Warmest October: The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces was the highest on record for an October at 58.4 degrees F, or 1.3 degrees above the 20th century average and topping the previous record (2003) by 0.02 degrees.
• Warmest first 10 calendar months: The surface temperature for January-October was 58.6 degrees, 1.22 degrees above average and topping the previous record set (1998 and 2010) by 0.04 degrees. Ocean temperatures by themselves were 1.03 degrees above average, the highest on record for this period, beating the previous record (1998) by 0.05 degrees.
• Warmest 12-month block: The period of November 2013-October 2014 averaged 58.2 degrees, 1.2 degrees above the norm, breaking a record set just a month ago for warmest 12-month period.

Foul weather in Morocco has killed up to seven people, just a week after a previous storm left 36 dead, media reports said on Monday. Storms again lashed the south of the kingdom, with the resort of Agadir experiencing the equivalent of an entire year’s rainfall – more than 250 millimetres (10 inches) – between Friday and Sunday. The bad weather, which finally eased overnight, led to many rivers bursting their banks and causing widespread damage, especially in the Guelmim region 200 kilometres (125 miles) south of Agadir, which has been declared a disaster area. No official death toll has yet been released. “Another catastrophe: floods kill seven,” headlined the Arabic-language daily al-Massae. The paper, as well as another daily and At-Tajdid, both reported “anonymous official sources” as saying that two college students drowned on Friday in the Azilal region of the Anti-Atlas mountain range, and a youth was swept away southwest of Marrakesh.

Headline:   EU Urges Peace Talks to Resume Ahead of Statehood Vote

Headline: Sarkozy: Vote Against Recognition of ‘Palestine’

New EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini called on Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) Wednesday to resume direct peace talks, as the European Parliament debated whether to recognize a Palestinian state, AFP reports. MEPs will hold a symbolic vote in December, following resolutions passed by the British and Spanish parliaments, and an official decision to recognize Palestine by the Swedish government. France’s National Assembly is set to vote on a non-binding resolution on December 2. The Middle East process restarted in July 2013 but has been on hold since April, with tensions and violence mounting again dramatically in recent weeks. “The sense of urgency is getting higher and higher in the absence of a political context,” Mogherini told lawmakers at the start of what she said was a “timely” debate. “There has to be a direct dialogue.” The former Italian foreign minister, who has taken over as diplomatic chief of the 28-nation European Union, said the bloc was ready to “play a role” in moving the peace process forward. She also reiterated her support for a two-state solution to resolve the crisis. The European Parliament was initially due to vote on Thursday on the motion to recognize a Palestinian state but it was postponed until December at the last minute.

Headline: Abbas: Jewish state law an obstacle to peace

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday that the proposed “Jewish state bill” “places obstacles in the way to achieving peace.” Abbas, in an interview with a Ramallah-based radio station, said that he opposes the bill and noted that some Israeli ministers and MKs also oppose it. “Many Israelis want peace and are working to achieve it,” he added. “We don’t want to assault anyone and we don’t want anyone to be harmed. But we also don’t want anyone to harm our people and religious sites.” The PLO strongly condemned the bill, claiming it is aimed at destroying the two-state solution. A statement issued by the PLO Executive Committee in Ramallah said the bill is designed to “implement the Greater Israel plan and the Jewishness of the state on the land of historic Palestine.” The statement said that the PLO considers the bill a “unilateral Israel revocation of the Mutual Recognition Document of 1993” between Israel and the organization. The PLO also warned that the bill would compromise the status of other holy sites and religions by making Judaism Israel’s recognized identity.

Headline: Islamic Jihad threatens Israel over glacial pace of reconstruction

Israel’s violations of the ceasefire agreement it reached with Gaza’s armed factions will lead to a new round of confrontation, the deputy director of the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad terror group warned on Wednesday, as a powerful storm battered a Strip recovering from this summer’s conflict. In comments posted on the terror group’s official website, Ziad Nakhaleh cited recent Israeli violations of Gaza’s sovereignty in the “no-go zone” along the border with Israel and along Gaza’s coast, and what he said was Israel’s hampering of reconstruction efforts in the enclave. He said that the military capabilities of Islamic Jihad — the second-largest political group in the Gaza Strip, avowedly devoted to the destruction of Israel — were greater now than they were before Operation Protective Edge, noting that the movement has gained much experience by engaging the Israeli army in battle over the summer. Nakhaleh’s frustration mostly focused on the slow pace of home reconstruction in the Gaza Strip, administered by the UN in coordination with Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

In his address, translated and posted Tuesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the man identified as Ali Abu Ahmad calls for Jerusalem’s liberation from “the Jews, the most vile of creatures” and for the annihilation of America and the international coalition against Islamic State. “Oh Allah, annihilate America and its coalition. Oh Allah, enable us to cut off their heads. Oh Allah, help our brothers, the mujahideen in the land of Iraq and Syria,” Abu Ahmad calls out in the main hall of the mosque on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

Headline: Israel to NATO: Punish Turkey for Hosting Hamas HQ

Israel wants NATO to take steps against Turkey for allowing genocidal terror group Hamas to set up its headquarters in Istanbul. Yisrael Hayom reported Wednesday that Israel sent NATO official messages through several channels, in which it stated that it is unacceptable for a NATO member state to have ties with a terror group. Senior diplomatic sources in Jerusalem told the newspaper that Hamas set up its main political and military HQ in Istanbul after leaving Damascus. Hamas had been forced out of Damascus in late 2012 because of its support for rebels against Bashar Assad’s regime. The head of the Turkish HQ is reportedly Salah al-Arouri, a terrorist whom Israel accuses of a long list of attacks. A senior Israeli source said that the operation of the Hamas HQ from Turkey was undoubtedly authorized by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Headline: Spy Balloons Give Police New View of Jerusalem

Israeli police are watching from above in their attempts to keep control in Jerusalem in the face of the city’s worst wave of violence in nearly a decade. Over the past month, 11 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks, including a deadly assault last week on a Jerusalem synagogue that killed five people. Most of the violence has occurred in Jerusalem, along with deadly attacks in Tel Aviv and the West Bank. Police have been flying surveillance balloons over the city’s eastern sector and Old City ? the location of its most sensitive holy sites ? to monitor protests and move in on them quickly. They say the puffy white balloons, which carry a rotating spherical camera pod, have greatly helped quell the unrest.

Headline: Jordan Angry with Israeli Ambassador

Headline: Ministry summons Israeli envoy over ‘insults to Parliament’

Jordan’s government reacted angrily on Tuesday to comments made by Israel’s ambassador to Jordan, Daniel Nevo, during an interview this week on Army Radio. During the interview, Nevo was asked to comment on the Jordanian parliament holding a special prayer in honor of the two terrorists who carried out the massacre at a synagogue in Jerusalem last week, who MPs hailed as “heroes”. Nevo responded by saying that Jordanian MPs are seen among locals as taking care only of themselves, and that they tend to sometimes engage in minor issues. In response, a spokesman for Jordan’s Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that “the ambassador’s words are unacceptable and are not true.” “Such statements cross the boundary between the two countries,” said the spokesman who was quoted by Army Radio, adding that the ambassador should respect all the institutions of the country in which he is serving. There were reports on Monday that Nevo had been summoned by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry after the statements which were thought by some to be demean Jordan’s parliament. Jordan’s al-Ghad newspaper, according to i24news, reported that the parliament’s speaker had asked the government of Jordan to take action against Nevo. Jordanian Information Minister Mohammad Momani said that Jordan will be sending an official letter of protest to Israel and will be looking into any other necessary steps that they might take against Nevo.

Headline:   Families call on Nasrallah to free captive soldiers and policemen

March 14’s General Secretariat slammed Hezbollah Wednesday for completing a swap deal to release one of its fighters held by Syrian rebels while blocking efforts to reach a deal that would release the Lebanese servicemen captured by jihadis. Also Wednesday, Prime Minister Tammam Salam headed a meeting of the “crisis cell” made up of officials and ministers responsible for following up on the hostage crisis. No decision or statement was made after the meeting. “This deal revealed another face of undermining the state’s authority that the party [Hezbollah] chooses to hide behind when it fails to achieve a goal,” the weekly statement of the camp’s secretariat said, accusing Hezbollah of doing what it preaches against. March 14 criticized Hezbollah’s unilateral move, because the party is part of the Cabinet, which is following up on the negotiations for the captives’ release through a crisis cell. They said the party bypassed the crisis cell while “preventing the state from achieving any possible exchange deal.”

Syria Headline:  Activists: Syrian strikes kill 60 in IS-held city

Syrian government warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes Tuesday on the de-facto capital of the extremist Islamic State group, killing at least 60 people, shattering shop fronts and setting dozens of cars ablaze, activists said. Some of the air raids struck a popular market near a museum and an industrial neighborhood in the city of Raqqa along the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria, causing many civilian casualties, they said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at more than 60, among them 36 civilians whose names it was able to document. The Local Coordination Committees said the strikes killed at least 70 people. Another Raqqa-based collective called Raqqa is Being Silently Slaughtered said it documented over 80 deaths. Such discrepancies are normal in the chaotic aftermath of attacks in Syria.

The Iraqi army and Kurdish peshmerga forces backed by the coalition air force on Wednesday repelled a major attack by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, according to sources from the city. “They are targeting Kirkuk and they want to control the oil sites,” said peshmerga Major General Westa Rasul, according to AFP. The attack began early on Wednesday morning against three villages west of the city of Kirkuk, sparking fighting that lasted for hours, Rasul and two other officers said. ISIS managed to seize one village, but Kurdish forces backed by air strikes later succeeded in retaking it. One policeman and five peshmerga, including a colonel and the son of a Kurdish politician, were killed and 28 wounded in the fighting, officers and a doctor said.

Iraqi security forces and allied tribesmen battled the Islamic State jihadist group Wednesday near the governor’s office in Anbar province capital Ramadi after soldiers and police fell back, officers said. “We are defending and protecting the governmental complex,” said police Colonel Hamid Shandukh, adding militants were within a few hundred metres (yards) of the governor’s office. The fighting began when soldiers and police pulled back from Al-Hoz, an area that stretches from Ramadi’s south to its centre, Shandukh said, adding the government complex area was now being defended by security forces and several hundred tribesmen. Another officer, Colonel Salah Arrak al-Alwani, also confirmed fighting in central Ramadi, and said it had been going on for nine hours. “If we lose Anbar, that means we will lose Iraq,” the province’s governor, Ahmed al-Dulaimi, told Al-Anbar television from Germany, where he is recovering after being wounded by a mortar round in September.

Headline:  Jihadist training camps expand across Syria and Iraq

Jihadist organisations in Iraq and in Syria are operating at least 46 military training camps, designed to indoctrinate and train recruits, an investigation has found. The development comes as Theresa May, the home secretary, has warned that the expansion of jihadist movements in Iraq and in Syria means the likelihood of terror attacks in Britain is higher now than at any point in the country’s history. “When the security and intelligence agencies tell us that the threat we face is now more dangerous than at any time before or since 9/11 we should take notice,” she said. A report from the Long War Journal has identified dozens of training camps belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria), and several other smaller hardline units. Compiling video footage, messages posted by jihadists on social media and US military press releases, the Journal has determined the location of 34 camps in Syria and 12 in Iraq.

Headline: Advanced Russian warplanes arrive in Crimea

Russian forces are still operating in eastern Ukraine, providing the backbone of separatist rebels fighting the Kiev government, NATO’s top military commander said on Wednesday after talks with Ukrainian leaders. U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, visiting Kiev as head of U.S. forces in Europe, said Russia’s “militarization” of the Crimea peninsula it annexed from Ukraine in March meant Moscow could exert influence over almost the entire Black Sea region. Breedlove met Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and others in the pro-Western leadership to discuss ways the United States could assist Kiev’s defense potential in the conflict with Russian-backed separatists in eastern territories. Asked for an assessment of the situation, Breedlove said Russian troops in the east were “training, equipping, giving backbone …helping (separatist) forces in the field.” Russia denies sending troops or equipment to the rebels but accuses Kiev of using indiscriminate force against civilians in the two eastern territories of Donetsk and Luhansk. Breedlove said Russian forces were also helping the rebels “understand the advanced weaponry that is being brought across”, referring to military equipment which Kiev and the West says is being funneled into Ukraine from Russia.

Headline: Sudan tells UN-AU mission ‘to shut human rights office’

Sudan’s government has asked the UN-African Union force in Darfur (Unamid) to shut its human rights office, the joint peacekeeping mission says. The move comes amid tensions over the mission’s attempt to investigate allegations of mass rape by Sudanese troops in the Darfuri village of Tabit. The authorities initially refused access to the village; when Unamid did get there it found no evidence. Darfur has been in conflict since 2003, when rebels took up arms. Unamid has a mandate to stem violence against civilians and currently has nearly 16,000 personnel deployed in the troubled western region. The conflict in Darfur is now being waged on many fronts and by different groups involving pro-government forces, rebels, militias and involving inter-ethnic violence.

A court in the Libyan capital has issued an arrest warrant for former general Khalifa Haftar, hours after his forces hit Tripoli’s only functioning airport with air strikes. The developments on Tuesday came as UN chief Ban Ki-moon called for a halt to air strikes in Libya and for all warring sides to engage in talks. “The only way to resolve the current crisis is through dialogue,” Ban said, citing “full confidence” in his special envoy, Bernardino Leon, who is seeking to broker talks on a ceasefire deal. Libya’s various militias and the internationally recognised government of Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani have been engaged in a violent power struggle for months, resulting in the establishment of parallel administrations. The internationally recognised government in Tobruk says it was forced to hit the Mitiga airbase because it had fallen under the control of a rival administration in Tripoli.

The radical militia “is one of the most brutal threats to the lives of the people in the region… that there has ever been,”  she told parliament, after recently attending a summit of 20 leading economies in Australia. “The IS is also attracting thousands of foreign fighters… from all G20 countries, whether it’s in the other hemisphere or here in Europe.” “Their radical lack of inhibition and willingness to murder also threatens our security,” she said of the extremist group. Germany believes that some 550 of its citizens have joined the jihadist cause in Iraq and Syria, of whom some 60 have died in combat or suicide attacks and about 180 have returned home. Germany is supplying Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq with weapons, ammunition and other aid to fight the IS but says it will not join the US, Britain and other nations in airstrikes against the jihadists.

National Guard reinforcements watched over riot-scarred streets Wednesday after a show of force that appeared to hold down unrest but also symbolized the widening tensions from Ferguson’s struggles over law enforcement and race. “I think generally it was a much better night,” St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said after a decision by Missouri’s governor to triple the National Guard presence in the St. Louis suburb. Still, there was no way to keep a complete lid on the simmering anger. At least 45 people were arrested, including three stemming from alleged assaults against police officers, authorities said. During the night, groups of protesters gathered outside police headquarters in Ferguson and pelted officers with stones and frozen water bottles. Police in some sites responded with tear gas and pepper spray. Others protesters marched near the charred rubble of some of the buildings burned amid the initial rage from late Monday’s announcement — expected by many — that a grand jury did not indict police officer Darren Wilson for the August shooting of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown. Five miles south of Ferguson, two FBI agents were shot and wounded while assisting police execute an arrest warrant. An FBI spokeswoman in St. Louis, Rebecca Wu, said the incident in Universal City was not related to the Ferguson unrest, the Associated Press reported.

Headline: Businesses to receive incentive for hiring illegal immigrants, report says

Businesses will have a $3,000-per-employee incentive to hire illegal immigrants over native-born workers under President Obama’s sweeping action on illegal immigration. Because of a kink in ObamaCare, businesses will not face a penalty for not providing illegal immigrants health care, The Washington Times reports. Illegal immigrants are ineligible for public benefits such as buying insurance on ObamaCare’s health exchanges. Congressional aides condemned the loophole saying it puts illegal immigrants ahead of Americans in the job hunt. “If it is true that the president’s actions give employers a $3,000 incentive to hire those who came here illegally, he has added insult to injury,” Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican told The Washington Times. “The president’s actions would have just moved those who came here illegally to the front of the line, ahead of unemployed and underemployed Americans.”

Headline: Nigeria: Boko Haram kills 20 villagers near Chibok

Suicide attacks by two female bombers at a crowded market in northern Nigeria’s Maiduguri city have killed 78 people, medical officials say. One teenage girl blew herself up first and as people gathered to help victims, the second girl detonated herself, witnesses say. The girls, dressed in full hijab, entered the busy market and detonated their explosives, said Abba Aji Kalli, the coordinator of a government-backed vigilante group in Borno, AP news agency reports. The first bomber killed about three women, he said. When people gathered at the scene, the second bomber screamed and blew herself up, killing about 30, Mr Kalli added. On Monday, suspected insurgents took over Damasak town, less than 200km (125 miles) from Maiduguri, setting fire to houses and killing an unspecified number of people. The assailants entered the town disguised as traders, carrying boxes which were packed with AK-47 rifles.   No group has said it carried out the attacks, but the militant Islamist group Boko Haram is suspected. Its insurgency is to establish what it calls an Islamic state. Campaign group Amnesty International says that the group killed at least 1,500 people in early 2014.

Yemeni security forces freed seven Yemeni hostages and a foreigner in a raid in which seven Al-Qaeda kidnappers were also killed, the country’s supreme security committee said.
The committee did not disclose the nationality of the foreign hostage. A Yemeni government source had earlier said the foreigner was a US military instructor who worked at Al-Anad air base in Lahej province, 60 km north of the port city of Aden. But in Washington, a US defense official said “there were no US personnel rescued from Yemen last night.”
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said US authorities applauded the Yemeni government for the hostage rescue operation. He referred requests for information to the Yemeni government. The committee said in a statement that one member of the Yemeni security forces was lightly wounded in the operation.

Headline: Al khalifa regime forces attack Bahraini protesters

Bahrani troops have attacked people protesting the Al Khalifa regime security forces’ storming of a prominent cleric’s home, amid an ongoing crackdown on dissent. On Tuesday, the regime’s forces used rubber bullets and teargas to disperse protesters gathered on the streets of Diraz and Sadad, denouncing the raid on the house of Shia cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Ahmed Qassem on Saturday. Witnesses said the regime forces took photos of the ID cards of all those present in the house in Diraz, west of the capital Manama. The regime’s recent move, which has also been condemned by Lebanon’s Hezbollah, happened just days after people voted in an alternative election held by the main opposition parties of Bahrain. The opposition had boycotted the parliamentary elections which were held with a low turnout on the same day across the tiny kingdom.

Police in Hong Kong have detained 86 protesters who engaged in clashes with security forces during an operation to clear barricades in a key protest site. The people were apprehended on Tuesday after they scuffled with law enforcement forces overseeing dozens of workers who were dismantling makeshift barriers in a small part of a busy shopping street in the Mong Kok district. Among the detainees, who are accused of violating a court order over the clearance of the area, unlawful assembly, and assaulting police, was lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung, known as Long Hair. Police said nine officers were wounded during the scuffles. Enforcing the court order, the workers cleared Argyle Street in Mong Kok in about five hours.

Headline:  Eurozone ‘grinding to standstill’, OECD warns

The eurozone is “grinding to a standstill” and now poses “a major risk to world growth”, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has warned in a report which urges the European Central Bank (ECB) to expand its stimulus programmes. The stark warning is part of the biannual economic outlook report published on Tuesday (25 November) by the Paris-based think tank, whose members represent the world’s most advanced economies apart from China. “Intensified monetary support is critical to growth”, said Catherine L. Mann, the OECD’s chief economist and author of the Economic Outlook. The report calls on the ECB to “further expand its monetary support including through asset purchases [quantitative easing]”. “If demand does not pick up as projected, some economies, notably the eurozone, could get stuck in persistent stagnation”. The 18-country bloc is forecast to expand by 0.8 percent over the course of this year and by 1 percent in 2015, although both projections have been revised down this year as the eurozone’s fragile recovery has slowed.

Burial workers in the Sierra Leonean city of Kenema have dumped bodies in public in protest at non-payment of allowances for handling Ebola victims. The workers, who went on strike over the issue, left 15 bodies abandoned at the city’s main hospital. One of the bodies was reportedly left by the hospital manager’s office and two others by the hospital entrance. The workers have now been sacked for treating the corpses in a “very, very inhumane” way, an official said. Sierra Leone is one of the countries worst affected by this year’s Ebola outbreak, with more than 1,200 deaths. Kenema is the third largest city in Sierra Leone and the biggest in the east, where the Ebola outbreak first emerged in the country. The burial workers told a BBC reporter they had not been paid agreed extra risk allowances for October and November. The BBC’s Umaru Fofana in Freetown says the bodies  have now been taken away but the workers had refused to end their strike.

Headline:  Arkansas, Mississippi overturn gay marriage bans

Arkansas and Mississippi became the latest two states Tuesday to have their gay marriage bans overturned by federal judges, but there are no rushes to the altar as both orders are on hold so the states can consider appeals. Like several states, Arkansas and Mississippi had voter-approved constitutional amendments pass in 2004 that defined marriage between one man and one woman. In Arkansas, U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker ruled in favor of two same-sex couples who had challenged the amendment. They argued the ban violated the U.S. Constitution and discriminated based on sexual orientation. “The fact that Amendment 83 was adopted by referendum does not immunize it from federal constitutional scrutiny,” Baker wrote in her ruling. Besides the amendment, Mississippi has a 1997 law that bans same-sex marriage. But U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves wrote in his ruling, “The Fourteenth Amendment operates to remove the blinders of inequality from our eyes. Though we cherish our traditional values, they must give way to constitutional wisdom. Mississippi’s traditional beliefs about gay and lesbian citizens led it to defy that wisdom by taking away fundamental rights owed to every citizen. It is time to restore those rights.

Headline:  Atlanta’s Fire Chief Suspended For Publicly Professing Christian Beliefs

Even in Atlanta you will be made to care. Atlanta’s Fire Chief, Kelvin Cochran, has been suspended for one month for writing a book in which he maintains orthodox Christian beliefs on sex and marriage. According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran is suspended for one month without pay after publishing a book that says homosexuality and having multiple sexual partners is “vile,” “vulgar”, and “inappropriate”. The 162-page paperback titled “Who Told You That You Were Naked?” is being sold at Amazon.com. Chief Cochran is an evangelical Christian who has not shied away from his faith in the past. He left the Atlanta Fire Department to take a job in the Obama Administration. He returned, however, to the city he loves to head its Fire Department. But the gay mafia is loudly complaining that Chief Cochran, by writing this book, will suddenly now not put out the fires of gay homes, or something like that. Specifically, the accusation is that by being honest about his orthodox Christian views on sex and marriage, Chief Cochran is undermining the public trust in him. You’d think the government would appreciate Kelvin Cochran being a role model to young black men in Atlanta, but they are instead much more focused on not offending the gay rights community. What Mayor Reed and the gay rights community are saying is that if you work for government you cannot be open about your Christian faith. Again, you will be made to care.

Headline:   Israeli Cabinet moves to define Israel as Jewish

In a move likely to further inflame tensions with Israel’s Arab citizens, the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday approved a bill to legally define the country as the nation-state of the Jewish people. It now heads toward a full parliamentary vote on Wednesday. While many critics derided the measure as unnecessary, Netanyahu told his Cabinet the bill is a response to Israel’s Arab critics both inside and outside Israel who question the country’s right to exist. The bill calls not only for recognizing Israel’s Jewish character but for institutionalizing Jewish law as an inspiration for legislation and dropping Arabic as an official language. Netanyahu insisted that Israel would be both Jewish and democratic. “There are those who would like the democratic to prevail over the Jewish and there are those who would like the Jewish to prevail over the democratic,” he said. “And in the principles of the law that I will submit today both of these values are equal and both must be considered to the same degree.”

Danish MPs are to vote on a resolution instructing Denmark to recognise Palestine, but its foreign minister says the time is not right. The motion was introduced by deputies from three small left-wing parties: the Red-Green Alliance; the Socialist People’s Party; and Greenland’s Inuit Ataqatigiit. “The parliament instructs the government to recognise Palestine as an independent and sovereign state within pre-1967 borders and, by extension, [to] provide the state of Palestine with full diplomatic rights”, the draft text says. The Danish assembly is to hold a first debate on 11 December and to vote on a final text in early January. Meanwhile, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday the international community’s failure to advance a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is spurring governments and parliaments to take action to recognize the state of Palestine – and “that momentum will grow.”

Headline: Abbas threatens to dissolve the Palestinian Authority

Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki has announced a draft resolution calling for a United Nations Security Council vote on Palestinian statehood will be tabled. In an interview with Ma’an News Agency, Maliki explained the Palestinian Liberation Organization had decided to postpone the draft resolution both because it was still gathering the necessary support from nine Council members and because of the ongoing Iranian nuclear negotiations. “The permanent member states have informed us that they would give priority to the Iranian issue not to the Palestinian statehood issue,” he noted. Maliki said that a draft resolution would be submitted once the Iranian nuclear talks have concluded and the PLO has acquired the requisite political support. It is unclear exactly when the resolution will be submitted. Some of the the Council’s five permanent members have expressed support for Palestinian statehood. On Sunday, Russian deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told Interfax that “Russia is prepared to support this resolution, when and if it will be put to a vote.” Britain’s House of Commons held a symbolic vote in October supporting Palestinian statehood while France plans to hold a similar vote on Friday. Any of the five permanent members, however, would have the power to veto the resolution.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has gone out of his way in recent weeks to assure Jordan’s King Abdullah that Israel is committed to the peace treaty between the two countries, repeating a pledge to even prevent Jews from praying at their holiest site – the Temple Mount – in response to Jordanian demands. But the Jordanian government has been striking a far less conciliatory tone, with ministers calling on the king to revoke the peace treaty with Israel. Last week, following the deadly attack at a Jerusalem synagogue, Jordan’s parliament held a minute’s silence and dedicated a special prayer – in honor of the two terrorists, who MPs hailed as “heroes”. In a TV recent interview, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), one Jordanian MP provided an insight into just how hostile Jordanian parliamentarians are towards their country’s “ally.” Speaking to Roya TV, MP Rudaina Ati praised “the (Jerusalem synagogue) operation” for sending “a clear message to the Zionist entity and to Stink-iyahu,” referring to Israel with the term used by belligerent Arab states who refuse to recognize the existence of an independent Jewish state. “The (Jews) must reconsider what they are doing, because they always violate treaties and abide by none,” she continued, playing to anti-Semitic tropes popular in the Arab world. Ati called on Arabs to use violent “resistance” to “liberate Palestine from the colonialist Jews,” and stated that she believes in “the right of return” – referring to the demand to flood the Jewish state with millions of descendants of Palestinian Arabs who fled during the 1948 War of Independence, effectively liquidating the Jewish state. She even went so far as to caution the Palestinian Authority not to soften its stance or make any concessions to Israel. “The Palestinian Authority must not defend the interests of the filthy Jews on the land of Palestine,” she declared.

Saudi Arabia has arrested the four main suspects in an attack on Shi’ite Muslims this month and believes it was ordered by Islamic State militants from abroad, the state news agency cited an Interior Ministry security spokesman as saying on Monday. Seven members of the Sunni-ruled kingdom’s Shi’ite minority were shot dead in the Eastern Province district of al-Ahsa on Nov. 3 as they marked their holy day of Ashoura. Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, put down an upsurge of Islamist militancy a decade ago, but fears that jihadist groups such as Islamic State or the al Qaeda affiliate Nusra Front now operating in Syria or Iraq will radicalise Saudis to mount a new wave of strikes inside the kingdom. Last week, the ministry said militants were trying to attack Saudi Arabia, but that it was not aware of any evidence that the al-Ahsa attack had been coordinated with Islamic State. On Monday, the ministry spokesman said 77 suspects had been arrested so far, and that they were believed to include the four main perpetrators. He said the leader of the al-Ahsa attack had received orders from abroad, and that “the target, as well as those to be targeted and the timing were all specified for him, as well as the provision that the (attack) be carried out in al-Ahsa”.

Erdoğan said he turned down the offers of some countries’ leaders who suggested the Turkish president reconcile with Sisi during the Second Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit last week. “I said I will not reconcile [with Sisi] or accept him [as legitimate],” Erdoğan said while addressing a meeting of an association promoting women’s rights in Ankara. Turkey fiercely criticized the coup that overthrew former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi last year. Former military leader Sisi toppled Morsi, who was elected in a free vote in July 2013, only a year after Morsi came to power. Turkey had forged a close alliance with Morsi before his ousting.

Syria Headline:  al-Nusra militants seize Syrian Shiite villages

Militants of al-Nusra Front (Syria’s al-Qaeda) seized an area south of a Shiite Muslim village in northern Syria on Sunday after clashes with pro-government fighters, opposition activists said. The insurgents advanced overnight on al-Zahra, north of Aleppo city, seizing territory to the south and also trying to take land to the east in an attempt to capture the village, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Al-Zahra and the nearby village of Nubl have been under a long siege by anti-government forces in an isolated Shi’ite area. The United Nations said in March that armed groups surrounding the villages had cut electrical and water lines supplying 45,000 residents. The army has used helicopters to drop supplies to the villagers. According to opposition activists the fighters also targeted Nubl and were seeking to capture both in the advance on the villages, which are located along a highway that leads to Turkey. Control of the villages could open up a new supply line into Aleppo for the insurgents. “We targeted the town with dozens of mortar shells and dozens of hell cannon shells but Nusra’s forces made progress and gain control of buildings which were in the first line of defense of Nubl,” said media activist Ahmed Hamidou who was accompanying battalions involved in the campaign. The clashes killed at least eight of the fighters advancing on al-Zahra and a number of fighters from the pro-government National Defense Force, the Observatory said.

Iraq Headline: Bomb explosion claims 10 lives in Baghdad

At least 10 people have been killed and 30 others wounded in a bomb explosion carried out at a busy commercial district in the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad. Police sources said the attack hit a crowded market in Baghdad’s northeastern neighborhood of al-Sha’ab on Monday. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blasts. However, Iraqi officials usually blame such attacks on the ISIL Takfiri terrorists. The development comes a day after a car bomb attack at an outdoor market in the town of Yusufiyah, situated about 32 kilometers (20 miles) south of Baghdad, killed seven people and wounded more than a dozen others.

Iraq Headline:  Peshmerga and Shiite militias vie for control of liberated town

Hospital officials in Iraqi Kurdistan said 20 fighters, including peshmerga and Shi’ite volunteers, were killed in a battle with Islamic State militants for control of two towns. At least 33 fighters were also wounded as Iraqi forces battled Sunday for control of Jalawla and Saadiya, north of Baghdad. In retaking the towns in the Diyala province, Iraqi troops forced the Islamic State fighters from areas they had held for months and cleared a main road from the capital, Baghdad, to Iran. Fighting continues, with some pockets of resistance outside the two towns, police officials said on Monday, adding that teams are working to defuse roadside bombs. Also on Monday, the U.S. Central Command said U.S. and its allies had conducted two dozen airstrikes against Islamic State militants since Friday, launching nine strikes in Syria and 15 strikes in Iraq.

Headline:  3 Kiev soldiers killed in E Ukraine

Fierce clashes between Ukraine’s government forces and pro-Russians have left three Ukrainian servicemen dead in the country’s restive east. The Ukrainian military said on Monday that the fatalities were reported over the past 24 hours, adding that government positions at flashpoints around the conflict zone saw 56 attacks. The mayor’s office in the city of Donetsk, meanwhile, said that 12 people were taken to hospital for treatment as they suffered shrapnel wounds over the weekend. Heavy shelling also inflicted damage on gas pipelines in the city, leaving more than 5,000 homes without gas in freezing temperatures.

Iran

Headline:  Iran nuclear talks deadline extended to end of June

he deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran has been extended to the end of June after talks in Vienna failed to reach a comprehensive agreement. US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the talks had been “tough”, but “substantial progress” had been made. The parties will reconvene in December. Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani said most gaps had “narrowed” during the talks. Six world powers want Iran to curb its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions. Tehran says it is not seeking nuclear weapons, but wants atomic energy. The six countries – the US, UK, Russia, China, France and Germany – have been in negotiations with Iran to finalise a preliminary deal reached last year in Geneva. They have now agreed to extend discussions, with the aim of reaching a high-level political agreement by 1 March, and confirming the full technical details of the agreement by 1 July. Iran would be allowed to continue accessing $700m (£450m) a month in frozen assets during that period.

Libya

Headline: Forces backing elected Libyan government take town

Forces allied to Libya’s elected government seized a western mountain town after heavy airstrikes drove back rival militias on Monday, as warplanes also bombed Tripoli’s only functioning airport, killing two people, officials said. The bombings of Matiga air base — under control of Islamist-allied militias — appear to be part of efforts by the elected government to retake the capital. Authorities directed flights from Matiga to another airport in the western city of Misrata, according to an airport official who said that three missiles hit the military airstrip’s runway. Two people were also injured, he added, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters. The airstrikes come shortly after combat in Kikla, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Tripoli, came to an end after over 40 days of fighting between allies of the two rival camps. The battles left over 300 dead and nearly 1,000 wounded. Most residents were locally displaced and the Tripoli government called the town a “disaster zone.”

Turkish and U.S. forces will train 2,000 moderate Syrian rebel fighters at a base in the central Turkish city of Kirsehir as part of the campaign against Islamic State insurgents, a Turkish Foreign Ministry official said on Monday. Turkey had agreed in principle to train and equip Syrian rebel forces as part of the U.S.-led military campaign against Islamic State, but details on the numbers involved and where the training would take place had yet to be announced. The announcement comes after U.S. Vice President Joe Biden met with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul over the weekend to discuss Turkey’s role in the military coalition against Islamic State insurgents. The Turkish official said the 2,000 Syrian rebel fighters would be among a total of 5,000 being trained in several countries as part of the U.S.-led campaign.

Headline: Ferguson Protesters Threaten to Rape and Kill Wives of Police

Headline: Grand Jury reaches decision in case of Ferguson officer

According to a report posted by the Pundit Press and Fox News, Ferguson protesters are threatening family members of police in the embattled Missouri city. The incident was witnessed by officials of the Obama Justice Department: According to the wife of one police officer, protesters have screamed profanity at her husband and specifically threatened to rape and murder her and her family should they ever find out the officer’s name. She said that protesters have told her husband, “we’re going to go to your house. We’re going to rape your wives then we’re going to kill them and we’re going to kill your children,” all while Department of Justice agents looked on. The Justice Department insists police in Ferguson wear identifiable name tags. The wife of a police officer was told by a Department of Justice agent that if police are “afraid of the citizens of Ferguson, they shouldn’t be police.” “You will never be safe, never in your life. None of you. Not you, not your children – none of you will be safe,” a protester told police last week. The protests have turned increasingly violent and racist. Earlier this month, a white man was attacked by protesters when he complained about them blocking a public street. In October, protest leader Ronnette Henderson promised there will be “a lot of bloodshed” if Wilson is not indicted and found guilty of killing robbery suspect Mike Brown. The same Pundit Press report mentioned a live Ustream video where a protester urges his “brothers” to “break some cracker skulls” if Wilson is not brought up on murder charges. Last week protesters chanted “What do we want? Darren Wilson! How do we want him? Dead” during a protest.

Headline: Boko Haram Slaughters 48 Fish Vendors in Northeast Nigeria

Suspected Boko Haram extremists ambushed and slaughtered 48 fish vendors near Nigeria’s border with Chad, the head of their association said, the latest violence to hit the country’s volatile northeast. “Scores of Boko Haram fighters blocked a route linking Nigeria with Chad near the fishing village of Doron Baga on the shores of Lake Chad on Thursday and killed a group of 48 fish traders on their way to Chad to buy fish,” Abubakar Gamandi, head of the fish traders association, told AFP. Gamandi said that after setting up a barricade at Dogon Fili, 15 kilometres (nine miles) from Doron Baga in Borno state, the attackers stopped a convoy of fish vendors around midday, silently slaughtering some and drowning others in the lake. “The Boko Haram gunmen slit the throats of some of the men and tied the hands and legs of the others before throwing them into the lake to drown,” Gamandi told AFP by telephone from Maiduguri, the Borno state capital. It was unclear if the motive for the gruesome attack was robbery or if there were other reasons for the killings. Boko Haram has at times targeted residents seemingly indiscriminately in its deadly insurgency.

Headline:  North Korea Threatens Retaliation Over UN Rights Resolution

North Korea has issued a strongly worded statement warning of catastrophic consequences for the United States and other countries that supported the recent U.N. resolution condemning North Korea’s human rights record. North Korea’s threat to retaliate could signal that it intends to soon conduct a new nuclear test. The rare official announcement released by North Korea’s National Defense Commission reads more like a tirade. It refers to U.S. allies like South Korea as “riffraffs” — a term that means worthless. It calls North Korean defectors “human rubbish.” And it says the United States and its “follower forces,” meaning South Korea and Japan, will be “unable to escape the heavy blow of merciless punishment.” The threats come in response to a recent United Nations committee vote calling on the Security Council to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court for alleged human rights violations. The Kim Jong Un regime is accused of operating a network of political prisons holding more than 100,000 people and atrocities that include “murder, torture, rape, and forced abortions.”

An Italian doctor who tested positive for the Ebola virus while working in Sierra Leone will be flown back to Italy for treatment on Monday. The doctor’s infection is the latest example of the exposure risk faced by medical workers treating Ebola patients. Italian Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin said in a statement that “Our doctor is doing well, he didn’t have fever or other symptoms during the night, this morning he had breakfast, and is continuing to drink autonomously.” Officials did not identify the doctor, who was working for a nongovernmental organization in the West African nation, nor did they say how the disease was contracted. A military plane was expected to transport the doctor to Rome’s National Institute for Infective Diseases late Monday, with an update on the doctor’s health to be released Tuesday.

Headline:  5.9 quake in western China kills at least 5 people, hurts 54

A strong earthquake that hit a sparsely populated, mountainous area of western China killed at least five people and injured 54 others, officials said Sunday. The injured included schoolchildren in a stampede. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-5.9 quake hit Saturday about 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the county of Kangding in Sichuan province. China’s seismological agency put the magnitude at 6.3. One person was also missing as of Sunday afternoon, according to a statement from the Ganzi prefecture government, which oversees Kangding. The four dead included a woman in her 70s who was struck by a falling window pane, the official Xinhua News Agency and state broadcaster CCTV said, citing Chen Yunbing, a doctor at the region’s Ganzi People’s Hospital. A stampede at a primary school in Tagong town during the quake injured 42 children, according to Xinhua. Thirty homes collapsed and 2,630 others suffered serious damage, the Sichuan government information office said.

Headline: Buffalo-area residents told to make plans for possible flood evacuation

Families in upstate New York rushed to pack up their valuables and schools closed in advance — not because of snow but because of possible flooding. Temperatures were expected to hit nearly 60 degrees on Monday, causing Buffalo area residents to prepare for evacuations caused by runoff from melting snow, and overflowing creeks. “Hopefully the rain won’t be here until later and this will be a slow thaw, but flooding is our major, major concern here,” said Michelle Pikula, whose house is along the Buffalo Creek. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for Monday and cautioned that trees weakened by heavy snowfall and saturated soil could come crashing down. High wind gusts of up to 60 mph also could topple electrical wires and trigger power outages. Forecasts call for rain showers on Monday and a chance of rain and snow showers by early Tuesday. Gov. Andrew Cuomo Sunday warned residents in flood-prone areas around Buffalo to move valuables up from the basement, pack a bag and prepare for the possibility of evacuation.

  Luke 21:11 “And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from    heaven.” 

In my post two days ago I warned you to watch for more “great earthquakes” because that was one of the signs Jesus gave us to watch for. Well, we didn’t have to wait long because there was another big quake that hit Japan.

http://newsok.com/37-homes-collapse-dozens-injured-in-japan-quake/article/feed/763371

 There is another earthquake coming that I have been warning you about and, that is the coming conflict between Israel and Iran. For the past 6 years I have been trying to get you to see God’s word concerning the Ezekiel 38 war prophecy is heading toward us with great speed. Below you will see some of my warnings. Knowing President Obama will do nothing concrete to stop Iran’s quest to get a nuclear bomb to be used against Israel, I have warned that Israel will have to take action against Iran to stop them from getting a device that would wipe out the state of Israel. 

There hasn’t been much about the tensions over Iran’s nuclear quest in the news lately but, I can assure you Israel has not stopped getting ready to take the nuclear sites out. Today there was a report out of Israel dealing with this issue as you can see from the headline below.  I laugh every time someone tells me  President Obama is the Antichrist. Obama is a very weak President and much of the world sees him as such.  Unlike Obama who bows down to men as we have seen during his visits to the Arab world, the Antichrist will bow to no man.  We know this because in the scriptures we see the Antichrist making everyone bow down to him or die.  The Antichrist will be like a superman which the world will see he has great powers and, when this man speaks the world will listen to him.  As I have been saying for the past six years Iran isn’t listening to Obama and is not afraid of Obama hence they haven’t stopped their quest in getting a nuke with Israel’s name on it.  One thing is clear Iran and Israel will be warring soon.  Will Iran come against Israel alone. From Ezekiel 38 we can answer that question. The answer is no. Iran will join Russia and many Islamic  nations in an attempt to get rid of Israel once and for all.  Most of the world is in the dark concerning this prophecy either because their pastor doesn’t teach the entire bible or, they never read the entire bible for themselves.  It is for this reason that people like myself are doing what we can to expose not only the Ezekiel 38 war prophecy but, the Psalm 83 war prophecy as these two prophecies will be finished shortly.  As I said many times before if you don’t believe just keep you eyes on news about the 1. Jewish Temple Mount, 2. Israel building home in East Jerusalem, and 3. the failed peace talks. These are three issues pushing the next war.

Headline:Concerned about nuclear pact, Israel weighs action against Iran: Jerusalem Post

14 Hours AgoCNBC.com

“The nuclear pact being negotiated between Iran and world powers is unpalatable to Israel, and may hasten the prospect of a military confrontation with Tehran, The Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday. As the globe’s six big nuclear powers inch toward a Nov. 24 deadline to strike a comprehensive deal with Iran, sources within Israel’s government told the publication that the proposal to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions would all but guarantee the standoff would continue. Outlines of the deal would restrict Iran’s nuclear program for ten years, and cap its ability to weaponize fissile material to at least nine months, the Post reported. Tehran has yet to indicate its agreement. However, Israeli officials told the paper that intelligence surrounding the program was still unclear over how extensive the nuclear program was, and Israel appears unwilling to take the risk.” http://www.cnbc.com/id/102210391?__source=yahoo%7Cfinance%7Cheadline%7Cheadline%7Cstory&par=yahoo&doc=102210391#.
