Headline: Jerusalem to step up security after second day of violence
Headline: Minister Perry Warns: Jerusalem Situation a ‘Ticking Time Bomb’
Jerusalem will step up its security level following threats made during a second violent day in the city. In an attempt to prevent rioting, Jerusalem police announced there will be restrictions on who can enter the Temple Mount for Friday prayers, Israel Radio reported. Though Muslim women of all ages will be able to enter the Temple Mount, only men above aged 40 and up will be allowed to enter the area. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered an additional Border Police company to the capital. The prime minister added that Israel will step up its intelligence and law enforcement efforts throughout the city. “This, and additional measures,” which he said he did not want to elaborate on, will restore quiet to the capital, he said. The decisions comes less than two days after a Hamas terrorist killed a three-month-old baby and injured several others in a violent car rampage. In the latest incident of violence, Israel Radio reported that Arab rioters threw firecrackers, Molotov cocktails and rocks at Jewish homes in the Old City. The rioters were eventually dispersed by Israel Police and border police. No damage or injuries were reported. On Thursday, masked Arab assailants hurled stones at a kindergarten in the Ma’aleh Zeitim neighborhood, not far from the Palestinian quarter of Ras al-Amud in the eastern part of the capital. Earlier on Thursday, unidentified assailants threw stones at the Jerusalem light rail station in Shuafat, just hours after the deadly vehicular terror attack which killed a Jewish infant girl. Jerusalem police vow to step up arrests of rioters in wake of the attack. There were also reports of Palestinian stone-throwing toward police and Border Police units operating in the Issawiya section of east Jerusalem. Police used crowd-dispersal methods to quell the unrest.

Headline: Palestinian teen killed by IDF gunfire during West Bank protest
A 14-year-old Palestinian boy was killed by IDF troops in the West Bank town of Silwad on Friday afternoon, during clashes that erupted during the weekly protest held there. According to the military, the boy was about to throw a firebomb towards Route 60; an IDF unit positioned nearby opened fire after he had lit the firebomb’s fuse, and was preparing to hurl it. Palestinian medical sources say the boy, Aruah Abdelwahab, was hit by a live bullet in the head, and was evacuated to the government hospital in Ramallah, where he was pronounced dead. Palestinian media say the boy was shot by an IDF sniper located at a great distance from the youth involved in the clashes. According to initial reports, five other Palestinian youths were wounded in the clashes. Rallys are held in the town of Silwad every Friday, after the end of Muslim prayers, and clashes between the town’s residents and IDF troops are a weekly occurrence.

Headline: Riots resume in Jerusalem after Palestinian teen killed in West Bank
Clashes between Israel Police and Palestinian rioters in East Jerusalem continued Friday evening, after a Palestinian teenager was shot dead by IDF forces in the West Bank village of Silwad, near Ramallah, earlier. Protesters hurled stones and firecrackers at police forces in the Old City and the capital’s Silwan neighborhood. Police, in turn, responded with riot dispersal means, Army Radio reported. There were no injuries in the incidents. Hamas called on Friday to avenge the killing of 14-year-old Orwa Abed El Wahan Hammad Wahab, who was shot by IDF troops after he attempted to hurl a Molotov cocktail at traffic on Highway 60, in the West Bank. A relative of the teen said he was a US citizen.

Headline: Chief Palestinian Authority (PA) negotiator Dr. Saeb Erekat on Thursday denied reports that the Palestinians were willing to postpone by two months a petition to the U.N. Security Council calling for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank by November 2016
The London-based media outlet Asharq Alawsat had reported that the Palestinians acquiesced to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s request to delay the petition and return to negotiations with Israel. The Palestinians reportedly stated that their condition for returning to negotiations would be for Israel to present a map with the borders of a future Palestinian state. According to Erekat, the U.S. government relayed a message to the PA in Ramallah that the U.S. would use its veto power on any Palestinian proposal brought before the Security Council. Erekat warned that if the U.S. vetoes the Palestinian proposal, the Palestinians will stop all security coordination with Israel and will take unilateral measures, including joining international organizations and the International Criminal Court at The Hague. PA Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki also denied agreeing to postpone the U.N. Security Council petition. Maliki told Palestinian radio the PA would turn to the Security Council once they know they have secured the required nine of 15 affirmative votes. Maliki also said there is still no framework for getting Israel and the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table. Palestinians Say They Will Not Postpone U.N. Security Council Petition

Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” (Psalm 83)
Jordan
Headline: Israeli envoy: Jordanian king criticizing Israel to appease allies
Israel’s ambassador to Jordan suggested that King Abdullah II’s recent allegation that Israel kills Arab children en masse stems from pressure by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt. Ambassador Daniel Nevo offered the commentary in an interview that aired Friday on Army Radio. Abdullah leveled the accusation at Israel earlier this week during his meeting with Jordanian lawmakers. “If, as we are fighting radical Islamist groups as a coalition, they are slaughtering children in Gaza and Jerusalem every five minutes, then it’s impossible,” said Abdullah II of Jordan, who usually employs less inflammatory language when speaking about Israel. Nevo would not comment directly on the king’s statement but spoke generally about the monarch’s predicament as one of Israel’s closest allies in the region. “The king is being attacked by countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and even Egypt on how the Israelis allegedly are disrespecting him,” Nevo told Army Radio when asked to comment on Abdullah’s use of harsh language. “They don’t see the whole picture.” He added: “The violence at the Temple Mount puts Abdullah II in an embarrassing situation each time anew.” The 20-year anniversary of peace with Israel, which will occur next week, will not be noted or celebrated in Jordan, according to Army Radio. “People on the Jordanian street, they don’t watch Israeli television. They watch Al Jazeera. So how do you expect him to celebrate the anniversary?” Nevo asked.

Lebanon
Headline: Five Lebanon troops wounded in Tripoli clash
Five Lebanese army troops and six Islamist gunmen were wounded in a clash late Friday in a historic area of the northern city of Tripoli, a security official said. “The number of wounded soldiers has risen to five,” said the official, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity. “Six gunmen were injured and six others were arrested.” The clash that initially erupted in the souks (traditional markets) area of Lebanon’s second city also extended to other areas. Tripoli’s historic heart is listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site. Ever since the war in neighbouring Syria broke out in 2011, Tripoli has been the scene of regular fighting between Sunni militants and members of Lebanon’s Alawite minority. Islamist gunmen have also turned on the Lebanese army, accusing it of targeting Sunnis and of cooperating with the powerful Shiite movement Hezbollah.

Headline: Lebanon says it won’t accept more Syrian refugees
Lebanon announced on Thursday it will not accept any more refugees from neighboring war-torn Syria, except in what authorities deem to be “exceptional” cases – a move that could prevent tens of thousands of Syrians from escaping the civil war. Information Minister Ramzi Jreij said Lebanon can simply not handle any more refugees. The tiny Mediterranean country has 1.1 million officially registered Syrian refugees, although the number is believed to be far higher. They make up almost a quarter of the country’s population of 5 million.
The refugees have stretched the country’s already fragile infrastructure and compete with Lebanon’s poorest for low-paid jobs, causing tensions. Tens of thousands of Syrian children are out of school because there is nowhere to place them. The Syrian refugees already in Lebanon would be encouraged to leave, said Jreij.

Headline: Egypt: 29 killed as Sinai attacks target security forces
Headline: Ten injured in blast outside Cairo University
A suspected jihadist car bomb has killed at least 26 Egyptian soldiers at a checkpoint in Sinai, officials say. The attack took place near El Arish, the main town in the north of the restive peninsula. Three more died in a shooting in the town itself. The bomb blast is one of the deadliest attacks in Sinai for months. At least 28 more people were injured. The army has been fighting a campaign against Sinai-based militants, who have carried out a string of attacks there. The area has become increasingly lawless since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011. Meanwhile, A bomb exploded outside Egypt’s largest and most prominent university in the country’s capital on Wednesday, wounding 10 people, including six policemen, the Interior Ministry said. The bomb, described as a rudimentary device, went off following clashes between police and students who were protesting outside the sprawling campus, the ministry said. It was the second bombing outside Cairo University in the past six months.

Syria Headline: Peshmerga set to reinforce Syria’s Kobane
Iraq’s Kurds unveiled plans Friday to send fighters to help defend the Syrian border town of Kobane, amid uncertainty over a separate deployment of Syrian rebels announced by Turkey. An official in the Iraqi Kurdish capital of Arbil said peshmerga fighters will head for Kobane next week. Halgord Hekmat, the spokesman for the ministry responsible for the peshmerga, said the lightly armed reinforcements will “not exceed 200 fighters”. He declined to say what route they would take, but they will likely pass through Turkey, which has said it would allow them transit. The American military, meanwhile, said US and allied aircraft pounded the IS group Thursday and Friday with 12 air strikes in Iraq and six near Kobane. On the ground, Kurdish forces retook a strategic hill overlooking Kobane after coalition air strikes put the jihadists to flight the previous evening.

Syria Headline: Kurds fear Isis use of chemical weapon in Kobani
Syria Headline: U.S. investigating whether Islamic State launched chlorine attack in Iraq
Kurds battling Islamic State militants for control of Kobani fear the extremist group may have used an unidentified chemical weapon, according to officials and one of the few doctors still working in the besieged Syrian town. Patients with blisters, burning eyes and breathing difficulties turned up at a clinic after a blast was heard on Tuesday evening, Dr Walat Omar said. He described the symptoms as abnormal and said he could not identify their cause, but suspected a chemical weapon. “After a loud explosion [on Tuesday night], we received some patients with abnormal symptoms. They reported a bad smell which produced some kind of allergic reaction,” Omar said in a telephone interview that was periodically disrupted by heavy explosions. Islamic State (Isis) is thought to have obtained stocks of ageing but still potent chemical weapons when it seized Iraqi army bases where they were stored, the New York Times reported earlier this month. In June, the group took control of a sprawling complex that had been the heart of Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons programme, Al-Muthanna State Establishment. There may also have been chemical weapons buried or abandoned elsewhere, that were not destroyed by US forces or the Iraqi military. Stocks manufactured before 1991 are dirty, corroded and not always easy to identify or use, but can still cause serious injury. Iraqi officials said 11 police officers were poisoned by chlorine gas last month, when Isis fighters used it to attack the Iraqi town of Duluiya. All the officers survived.

Iraq Headline: Renewed ISIS attacks leave Yazidi fighters in Iraq pleading for help
Yazidi fighters protecting hundreds of families trapped on Iraq’s Mount Sinjar are pleading for help over fears that a “large scale attack” by the Islamic State is imminent. After weeks of resistance, tribal defenders of the Yazidi religious minority were besieged by Islamic State jihadists on the mountain on Monday. “The situation is really bad and it’s worsening by the minute,” Barakat, a fighter on the mountain told Reuters. “We are surrounded by IS militants from all four directions. The streets at the foot of the mountain are completely under IS control.” The fighter said 500-600 families are stranded on the mountain and helicopters that have been dropping supplies can only evacuate small numbers of people at a time. Awar, another Yazidi fighter, said Thursday that ISIS militants are amassing on the eastern side of the mountain, according to Reuters. “There’s a strong possibility that a large scale attack is coming tonight or tomorrow morning,” he added. Yazidi fighters – who are short on supplies, like food and clothing – are pleading for more assistance, as their weapons are proving to be ineffective against Humvees operated by ISIS militants.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi military claims retaking town near Baghdad from ISIS
The Iraqi military said Friday that it had recaptured a town south of Baghdad from Islamic State. The soldiers were backed by allied Shi’ite militia in their counter-attack against the radical Sunni group, which brands Shi’ites as heretics. The army is in complete control of the mainly Sunni town of Jurf al-Sakhr, some 60 kilometers south-west of Baghdad, government-run Al-Iraqiya TV reported. Jurf al-Sakr is located near a major route linking Baghdad to Iraq’s largely Shi’ite provinces in the south.

Kurdish Headline: Kurds deny deal with Turkey to let ‘FSA’ in Kobani
Kurdish Headline: Turkey says Over 1,000 Syrian rebels heading to Kobani
Syrian Kurdish fighters in the northern town of Kobani have denied any agreement with Turkey to allow in the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) militants to fight ISIL terrorists. During a Friday telephone interview from Brussels, head of Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), Saleh Moslem, denied Ankara’s claim after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said earlier on the day that 1,300 FSA militants will be sent to Kobani to help defend the city. Moslem said the FSA would better open a second front to fight ISIL rather than going to the Kurdish city. Meanwhile, PYD has accused Ankara of helping ISIL terrorists by turning a blind eye to at least 120 militants crossing the border into Syria earlier this week. In a separate interview with Asharq al-Awsat daily, Moslem said new information shows the extremist militants planned to use chemical weapons against Kobani. Kurdish officials and doctors said on Wednesday that the terrorists released a sort of toxic gas in the eastern side of the Kurdish city late on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Iraq’s Kurdish regional parliament agreed on Wednesday to allow sending Peshmerga forces to Kobani to help the Syrian Kurds fighting there. The decision could be a turning point in the battle.

Turkish soldiers killed three Kurdish militants who were part of a group that attacked a power plant in the eastern province of Kars, Turkish sources said on Friday. Fighters from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) set fire to two vehicles and a cabin at the plant in Kagizman district, and shot at soldiers who returned fire, the general staff said in a statement on its website. Three PKK guerrillas were killed and a search was launched for the others, a security source said. The shootout followed unrest in eastern Turkey earlier this month in which dozens died, triggered after Kurds rioted at what they saw as the government’s refusal to help Syrian Kurds fighting Islamic State jihadists in the besieged town of Kobani on Turkey’s southern border.

Headline: Gulf Arab allies ask U.S. to stop talking about their role in war on ISIL
The United States has stopped providing details of Arab participation in the coalition against Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. Officials said Arab partners in the coalition against ISIL no longer wanted Washington to release details of their operations. They said such countries as Jordan and Saudi Arabia sought to avoid an Islamic backlash from striking ISIL positions in Iraq and Syria. “They found it very uncomfortable being in the spotlight,” an official said. The Defense Department has identified Arab coalition partners as Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In October, the Pentagon released details of Arab air strikes on ISIL strongholds in Iraq and Syria. By Oct. 14, the Pentagon stopped reporting on Arab participation in U.S.-led air strikes on ISIL. At the same time, officials acknowledged that Arab fighter-jet operations were deemed ineffective, with pilots unable to find ISIL targets. A week later, the U.S. military said it was ending reporting on the activity of other nations in the anti-ISIL coalition. Central Command did not cite any of the Arab participants, but on Oct. 22, Centcom identified Britain and France.

Headline: Pakistan and Iran exchange mortar fire on border
Pakistani and Iranian forces have exchanged mortar fire along their porous border. Pakistani officials said Iran fired six mortar shells, which landed near the border town of Mashkail. Pakistan is then thought to have fired back. The two countries share a long desert border which straddles Balochistan province in south-west Pakistan and Sistan Baluchistan in eastern Iran. Last week, Pakistan said a soldier died and three were hurt by Iranian guards. Pakistan has been accused by predominantly Shia Muslim Iran of failing to stop cross-border attacks on its forces by extremist Sunni Muslim militants. Sistan Baluchistan, which also borders Afghanistan, has been the scene of frequent clashes in recent years between Iranian security forces and drug-smugglers and Sunni rebel groups. This escalation comes at a time when Pakistan is already facing tensions with India on its eastern border.

Two army units, the 21st stormtrooper brigade and 204 tanks division, advanced on Thursday towards Libya’s second city from the town of al-Bayda, some 200 kilometres east of Benghazi. The forces retook control of Benina International Airport, which has been a flashpoint for battles in recent weeks – fierce fighting there on 9 October killed militia leader Salim Nabbous. After taking the airport, the Libyan army brigades advanced further south-west towards central Benghazi. Heavy clashes then ensued inside the city between Libya’s armed forces and fighters from the Shura Council of Revolutionaries, a coalition of militias including Ansar al-Sharia that was formed in June 2014. After intense fighting, the Libyan army announced on Friday morning that they had retaken the Amin district of Benghazi, a residential area in the south of the city. Some residents of the city took to the streets to welcome the incoming soldiers, who advanced with heavy weaponry and tanks.

Morocco is “very concerned” by the Israeli escalation in Al Quds Asharif and calls the international community to take up its responsibilities and make pressures to lead Israel to stop its assaults on Al Aqsa mosque and end the judaization acts and construction of settlements in the holy city. “The Kingdom of Morocco is following with great concern Israel’s escalation regarding the issue of Al Quds Asharif, as Israeli authorities are repeatedly making provoking statements in an attempt to undermine the legal status of Al Quds Asharif as part and parcel of the occupied Palestinian territories in 1967, as it had been set by the international resolutions,” says a statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation released this Friday. These practices are likely to contribute to bogging down the Palestinian issue into the labyrinth of religious and inter-faith conflicts, in the run up to the holy sites occupation, the release deplores. Morocco, which also voiced concerns over systematic and repeated assaults against Al Aqsa Mosque, as well the intensification of settlements in the holy city, also strongly denounced Israel’s hostile behavior which deepens the feeling of injustice among the Palestinians and the millions of Muslims worldwide.

Police and protesters have repeatedly clashed since the shooting, which prompted a national conversation about race and police tactics. Images of officers in riot gear and armored vehicles confronting protesters have drawn widespread criticism. Many protesters want Wilson indicted for murder. Grand jury proceedings are secret, but legal analysts say recently leaked information about Wilson’s testimony to investigators may be an attempt to prepare the public for the possibility that he might not be charged. The decision could be made public within the next month.

Headline: Bahraini demonstrators urge end to Al Khalifa rule
In Bahrain, anti-regime demonstrators have reportedly taken to the streets of the Persian Gulf kingdom, calling on the ruling Al Khalifa regime to relinquish power. According to reports, the Bahraini demonstrators held an anti-regime protest rally in the northwestern village of Bani Jamra. Reports say similar gatherings were also held in the village of Maqaba, located north of the capital, Manama. Earlier this month, Bahrainis held protests across the country, calling for the boycott of upcoming general elections scheduled to take place next month. Bahrain’s main opposition party al-Wefaq National Islamic Society has said the upcoming vote will be undemocratic and will only give credit to the Al Khalifa rule. The election will be the first since protests started in Bahrain in 2011.

Headline: South Yemen separatists turn out to demand independence
Thousands of southern Yemenis turned out in Aden Friday to demand independence for their once sovereign region, as rebels from the north press to expand their control over more of the impoverished country. Yemen continues to reel under the impact of the expansion by Shiite rebels, after they overran the capital last month and seized a major port unopposed, before clashing with Sunni tribes and Al-Qaeda south of Sanaa. The demonstrators gathered in Aden’s Parade Square to mark a “Day of Anger” called by the Supreme Council of the Revolutionary Peaceful Movement for the Liberation and Independence of the South, a new coalition of two major separatist groups. Waving flags of the former South Yemen, they chanted “we demand freedom and independence” and “independence or death.”

Decline of the Euro– ““ When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)“Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” (Daniel 2:41-43)
Headline: Draghi warns eurozone leaders on recession ‘relapse’
European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi on Friday (24 October) gave a stark warning to eurozone leaders about the risk of a “relapse into recession” unless they agree on a “concrete timetable” of reforms and spur investments. “The eurozone is at a critical stage, the recovery has lost its momentum, confidence is declining, unemployment is high. Commitments were made but often words were not followed by deeds,” Draghi told the 18 leaders of eurozone countries who gathered for a special meeting at the end of a regular EU summit in Brussels. He showed them graphs and comparisons with the US highlighting the poor state of the eurozone economy. “We avoided the collapse of the euro, but now our efforts should focus on avoiding a relapse into recession. I hope economy will pick up, but hope is not a strategy, today’s problems will not go away miraculously,” Draghi said.

Headline: French unemployment hits new record high
After a slight improvement in August, the number of jobless in France once again increased in September, reaching a new record high of 3.43 million unemployed, government figures revealed Friday. Data from France’s labor ministry showed unemployment rose by 0.6 percent last month, after the modest 0.3 rise it experienced in August. “Let’s be honest, we are failing,” French Labor Minister François Rebsamen told Le Parisien newspaper on Friday in an unusually candid acknowledgement of France’s massive unemployment problem. The figures were published amid declarations by Prime Minister Manuel Valls which suggested the government may seek reforms to the country’s unemployment benefits and work contracts’ system. In a recent interview in French weekly Les Obs, Valls said he thought France should consider revising existing long-term and short-term contracts in order to merge the two into a single contract system opposed by unions. Speaking from Brussels at the end of a European Council meeting on Friday, President François Hollande said unemployment could not be checked in a sustainable way unless “economic growth returns in Europe.”

China along with 20 other nations have inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a new Beijing-backed infrastructure lender for Asia. The MOU to set up the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was signed during a ceremony in the Great Hall of the People in the Chinese capital on Friday. “In China we have a folk saying,” Chinese President Xi Jinping said after the ceremony, adding, “If you would like to get rich, build roads first, and I believe that is a very vivid description of the very importance of infrastructure to economic development.” Authorities said that the bank, which is anticipated to have an initial capital of USD 50 billion mostly provided by China, aims to meet the need for the construction of dams, ports, power plants and telecommunications networks in Asia. Regional economic giant India and smaller but economically vibrant countries such as Singapore and Vietnam were among the signatories to the initiative in the absence of US allies – Japan, South Korea and Australia. The world’s second-largest economy also is supporting another USD 50 billion-lending institution, the New Development Bank, which is sponsored by the BRICS countries that also include Russia, India, Brazil and South Africa.

Headline: China deploys troops and fighter jets in response to unauthorised flight
China deployed more than 1,200 troops and scrambled fighter jets in response to an unauthorised flight near Beijing airport by what turned out to be a mapping drone, state-run media reported on Thursday. Three men were being prosecuted over the incident, the China Daily said. It cited prosecutors as saying that 1,226 military personnel, 123 military vehicles, 26 radar technicians, two fighter jets and two helicopters were sent into action after the aircraft was spotted on radar screens. Police arrested two men as they flew the drone and a third confessed later, according to the paper, which is published by the government. All three men worked for an aviation technology company, the report said, and the 2.3-metre-long (7.5ft) drone was intended to be used for survey and mapping purposes. China forbids any flights, manned or unmanned, without prior approval from the air force, civil aviation authorities and the local air traffic control bureau.

North Korea said Friday that propaganda leaflets sent by balloon from South Korea is tantamount to a declaration of war. “It’s a de facto declaration of war to insult and slander our supreme self-dignity and system with every kind of false and fabricated information,” Pyongyang stated. The warning comes as activists in South Korea say they plan to dispatch 100,000 leaflets across the border on Saturday. Earlier this month, on the 69th anniversary of the Workers’ Party in the North, South Korean activists floated balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang pamphlets across the border that were then shot at by the North’s military. Some shots landed south of the border, prompting Seoul’s military to return fire. Pyongyang has threatened to “annihilate” those responsible for the pamphlet campaign.

A New York doctor living in Harlem was diagnosed with Ebola on Thursday, after having returned last week from Guinea where he is thought to have treated patients suffering from the epidemic with Doctors Without Borders. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Thursday evening at Bellevue Hospital Center that the tests had come back positive for Dr. Craig Spencer, reports CBS 2. All four people thought to have had contact with Spencer during the time when he showed symptoms and was in danger of spreading the lethal virus have been quarantined, and officials stressed there is no need to worry, as the virus is only transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids. Spencer had used the subway system, riding on the A, L and 1 trains, and likewise taken an Uber taxi ride to go bowling at The Gutter in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, said New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Travis Bassett. However, she stressed there was virtually no chance of the disease spreading in those locations, as simply being in the same environment is not enough to become infected with the virus. Meanwhile, a well known and highly respected doctor has come forth with claims that the U.S. government has been intentionally concealing cases of Ebola in the United States. Dr. James Lawrenzi made the comments on Thursday while appearing as a guest on the Alex Jones show. Jones, the host of a nationally broadcast radio talk show, Infowars, has been an outspoken critic of the way in which the Ebola health crisis has been handled by the Obama administration. Lawrenzi, who owns and operates two health care facilities located in in Garden City and Archie, Missouri, claims that the number of Ebola patients in the U.S. is much higher than what the Centers for Disease Control has been letting on. According to Dr. Lawrenzi, his suspicions first arose shortly after news broke that Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian visiting family in Dallas, Texas, was diagnosed with the deadly disease in September of 2014. Lawrenzi claims that he was told by a doctor at Truman Lakewood Medical Center in Kansas City that the hospital was also treating a patient with Ebola like symptoms who was demonstrating a high fever and was bleeding profusely from multiple orifices after having recently returned from West Africa. The following day, claims Lawrenzi, the same doctor told him that the patient had “disappeared” but that it was highly unlikely that the patient could have left of his own accord giving his grave medical condition. Another patient displaying classic Ebola like symptoms was then admitted to Kansas City’s Research Medical Center the following day but also quickly “disappeared,” said Lawrenzi. Neither patient has ever been found.

Doctors Without Borders says a cholera outbreak in the West African country of Niger killed 20 people and has sickened nearly 1,000 people. The medical aid group said Friday that several districts in the country’s south have been affected. Cholera is caused by the ingestion of infected food or water and often occurs in places with poor sanitation. It causes severe diarrhea and vomiting and can lead to death by dehydration, sometimes within a matter of hours.

Headline: Enterovirus D68 Confirmed In Santa Barbara
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is now circulating in the Santa Barbara area. Santa Barbara County Public Health confirmed the first local case late Friday morning involving a 15-year-old girl. County Health Manager Paige Batson told NewsChannel 3 that seven other cases are being tested; Result time varies between seven days and three weeks. “It is important to know it is circulating in our community,” said Batson. Batson said the others being watched include three babies under the age of one, two children under the age of five, and two adults over the age of 65. There are many forms of enterovirus but the EV-D68 version attacks the respiratory system and can cause difficulty breathing, in rare cases, death. For the first time, local health care workers are testing for the EV-D68 version because of a nationwide outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website shows EV-D68 levels are elevated right now throughout California, but that infections will likely begin to decline by late fall. Many of the children impacted have asthma or a history of wheezing. The CDC has documented eight deaths releated to EV-D68.

The Utah Supreme Court on Thursday lifted an order that had blocked spouses in same-sex marriages from adopting their partners’ children, state officials said. The state’s highest court had imposed a stay on the adoptions in May, while Utah appealed a federal ruling last year that permitted same-sex marriages for 17 days before the Supreme Court halted them pending appeal. Earlier this month, after the U.S. Supreme Court denied appeals of same-sex marriage bans and an appeals court reaffirmed its order making same-sex marriage legal in the state, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes ordered county clerks to recognize all legally performed same-sex marriages. On the same day, Reyes petitioned the state Supreme Court to remove its stay of the adoptions, saying the issue was now moot. Missy Larsen, a spokeswoman for Reyes, said the high court’s action on Thursday came in response to that petition.

Headline: Iranian Pastor Sentenced to Six Years in Prison for Spreading Christianity
An Iranian pastor has been sentenced to six years in prison for spreading Christianity in the nation, an act that is believed to be seen by the government as a threat to the Iranian regime. As previously reported, Behnam Irani, who leads the 300-member Church of Iran in Karaj, was initially detained in 2006 while holding a Bible study and sentenced to prison five years later for “action against the state.” In June, he was interrogated on five occasions for four hours each. Authorities then added 18 new charges against the 41-year-old pastor, including Mofsed fel-Arz or “spreading corruption on Earth,” which carries the death penalty. Another translation of the charge is “enemies of God on Earth.” However, earlier this month, the charges were reduced and Irani instead faced accusations of “action against national security” and “creating a network to overthrow the system,” which are stated to be catchalls to criminalize anyone deemed a threat to the government. On Sunday, Irani was declared guilty by Judge Asel Al-Hosseyn, and two other leaders with the Church of Iran, Abdolreza Ali-Haghnejad and Reza Rabbani, were sentenced as well.

Headline: Largest sunspot in more than 20 years facing Earth
A massive sunspot region is staring at the Earth, and frequently hurling out high energy solar flares. But so far, none of the flares have been complemented by a blast of plasma known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) that can lead to aurora in the Earth’s atmosphere and interfere with spacecraft operations and power systems. The sunspot region, known as AR2192, is so big that it is visible to a (well-protected) naked eye and was visible during Thursday’s partial solar eclipse. “This is the largest sunspot group since November of 1990,” said Doug Biesecker, a researcher at the National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Center. Its size is 2,740 millionths of the solar disc which, according to the Web site The Sun Today, is roughly the size of Jupiter. NASA says the largest sunspot on record, observed in 1947, was almost three times as large as AR2192. Consider that AR2192 is 80,000 miles in diameter – and you could lay 10 Earths across it.

A rare tornado ripped roofs off buildings, uprooted trees and shattered windows Thursday afternoon in the southwest Washington city of Longview, but there were no reports of injuries. A National Weather Service storm survey team from nearby Portland, Oregon, estimated the EF1 tornado carved a path of 1.3 miles and packed winds of 86 to 110 mph, meteorologist Miles Higa said. Longview Fire Chief Phil Jurmu admitted his first reaction was disbelief. “I kind of furrowed my brow, probably, and said `What?”‘ he told KATU-TV of Portland. Still, police and fire crews responded quickly to the hardest-hit area and cordoned it off with help from the National Guard, which has an armory nearby, Jurmu said. Police Chief Jim Duscha told the Daily News of Longview the full extent of damage wouldn’t be known until Friday. Crews quickly started cleaning up under sunny skies that followed the windstorm. Roofs were torn off an assisted living building and a towing company structure, the newspaper reported. Tornadoes are rare in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest, where the nearby Pacific Ocean generally prevents severe temperature changes.
