Headline: Moscow rejects Israeli request for buffer zone in Syria
Headline: Israeli official denies Moscow rebuffed plea to keep Iran away from border
Russia rejected a request from Jerusalem for a 60-kilometer buffer zone between the Golan Heights and any Iranian-backed militias in Syria, and is only promising that the Shi’ite fighters would not come any closer to Israel than 5 kilometers, according to media reports late on Thursday night. The news of the Kremlin’s rejection broke in advance of Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump in New York on Monday. It also came as a senior Russian negotiator said that Russia, Turkey and Iran are close to finalizing an agreement on creating four de-escalation zones in Syria. The prime minister has repeatedly warned about Iran’s expanding influence in Syria. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, he said, “Aside from trying to build atomic bombs,” Tehran is “trying to place the Iranian Army in Syria. They want to colonize Syria the way they colonized Lebanon.”

Headline: Yemeni forces oust Al-Qaeda from Hadi’s home district
Yemeni forces backed by the UAE have driven Al-Qaeda militants from a southern district that is the birthplace of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, security sources said Thursday.
Wadea is located in Abyan province, which for months was a no-go zone for pro-government troops and where Al-Qaeda fighters fled after a similar offensive in the neighboring province of Shabwa last month. Seven suspected Al-Qaeda members were arrested during the Wadea operation, which began on Wednesday, including an alleged explosives expert known as Abu Abdallah, according to the sources.

Syria
Headline: Russia, Iran, Turkey to police Syria Idlib safe zone
Russia, Iran and Turkey on Friday agreed a deal to jointly police a fourth safe zone around Syria’s Idlib province as part of a Moscow-led plan to ease the six-year conflict. In a joint statement after two days of talks in Kazakhstan the three powers said they agreed “to allocate” their forces to patrol the zone covering rebel-held Idlib province and parts of the neighboring Latakia, Hama and Aleppo regions. The talks in Astana are the sixth round of negotiations Moscow has spearheaded since the start of the year as it seeks to pacify Syria after its game-changing intervention on the side of leader Bashar al-Assad.

Iraq
Headline: Iraq: At least 60 die in twin attacks near Nasiriya
At least 60 people have been killed in two attacks in southern Iraq, police and health officials say. A suicide bomber detonated a vest and gunmen opened fire inside a restaurant near Nasiriya, capital of Dhiqar province, security sources said. Soon afterwards, a car bomb exploded at a nearby checkpoint. So-called Islamic State said it carried out the attacks. Shia Muslim pilgrims including Iranians were killed by the suspected militants. According to news agency AFP, one report said the attackers were disguised as members of Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilisation) – a mainly Shia group that has fought alongside Iraqi forces against IS. The attackers struck at midday local time (09:00 GMT) in stolen army vehicles. “One attacker blew up his suicide vest inside the crowded restaurant while a group of other gunmen started to throw grenades and fire at diners,” said police colonel Ali Abdul Hussain, quoted by Reuters. At least seven Iranians were among the dead, health officials said, adding that more than 90 people were injured.

Headline: Togo Protesters Press Demands for Constitutional Reform
Lawmakers in Togo began debating presidential term limits Friday, after days of protests calling for constitutional reform and the departure of the ruling family. The West African nation has been ruled by one family for 50 years, and its current president, Faure Gnassingbé, has held power since 2005. Gnassingbé’s opponents are demanding a two-term limit for presidents, two rounds of voting in elections and the right of the Togolese diaspora to vote. The demonstrations began on September 6, and security forces have used tear gas and physical force, most recently on Wednesday, to disperse the crowds. Government supporters have organized counter protests to voice support for the ruling party. Opposition leaders organized a walkout from parliament earlier this week after participating in a special session to address the constitutional crisis. That session ended abruptly following heated debate. During the September 6 protests, Amnesty International reported that the leader of an opposition party was confined to his house, which was surrounded by security forces. During earlier protests in August, two were killed and 28 people sentenced to prison terms, Amnesty said. The government also shut down internet access.

Headline: Home-made bomb injures 22 on packed London commuter train
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a blast on Friday that injured 22 people on a packed commuter train on the London underground network, the militant group’s Amaq news agency said. A home-made bomb on a packed rush-hour commuter train in London engulfed a carriage in flames and injured 22 people on Friday in Britain’s fifth major terrorism incident this year, but apparently failed to fully explode. Passengers heading into the British capital fled in panic after the blast as the train was about to depart Parsons Green underground station in West London at 8.20 a.m. (0720 GMT). Some suffered burns and others were injured in a stampede to escape but health officials said none were thought to be in a serious condition. “We now assess that this was a detonation of an improvised explosive device,” Britain’s top counter-terrorism officer Mark Rowley told reporters. Police said a hunt involving hundreds of detectives backed by the intelligence services was underway to find out who was responsible. Rowley declined to say if the suspected bomber had been on the train, saying it was a live investigation.

Headline: North Korea Fires Another Missile Over Japan
Headline: U.N. Security Council to meet after North Korea fires another missile over Japan
Sirens in Japan went off on Friday after North Korea fired what is believed to be a medium-range ballistic missile over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido on Friday. The missile was fired from the district of Sunan in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, home to the country’s main airport. In what was the longest recorded flight by a North Korean missile, Friday’s launch flew a total of about 2,300 miles, reaching an altitude of 480 miles before falling into the Pacific Ocean. This indicates that the US military base on Guam at a distance of 2,100 miles from North Korea, is within striking distance. A second North Korean missile launched at the same time landed in the sea in the initial stages. The act of aggression came one day after the North Korean government issued a statement threatening to “sink” the Japan and turn the US “into ashes and darkness”. The Korea Asia-Pacific peace committee, which oversees North Korea’s relations with the outside world, issued a statement on Thursday saying, “The four islands of the [Japanese] archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of [North Korea],” the committee said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency, adding, “Japan is no longer needed to exist near us.” South Korea y responded by launching two missiles into the sea as a show of force while the North Korean missile was still in the air. Though the South Korean missile was not aimed at North Korea, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said to the media that it was capable of striking the Sunan airport launch site near Pyongyang used for today’s launch.

Headline: Venezuela Stops Accepting Dollars For Oil Payments
Apparently confirming what President Maduro had warned following the recent US sanctions, The Wall Street Journal reports that Venezuela has officially stopped accepting US Dollars as payment for its crude oil exports. As we previously noted, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said last Thursday that Venezuela will be looking to “free” itself from the U.S. dollar next week. According to Reuters, “Venezuela is going to implement a new system of international payments and will create a basket of currencies to free us from the dollar,” Maduro said in a multi-hour address to a new legislative “superbody.” He reportedly did not provide details of this new proposal. Maduro hinted further that the South American country would look to using the yuan instead, among other currencies.“If they pursue us with the dollar, we’ll use the Russian ruble, the yuan, yen, the Indian rupee, the euro,” Maduro also said. And today, as The Wall Street Journal reports, in an effort to circumvent U.S. sanctions, Venezuela is telling oil traders that it will no longer receive or send payments in dollars, people familiar with the new policy said. Oil traders who export Venezuelan crude or import oil products into the country have begun converting their invoices to euros. The state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA, known as PdVSA, has told its private joint venture partners to open accounts in euros and to convert existing cash holdings into Europe’s main currency, said one project partner.The new payment policy hasn’t been publicly announced, but Vice President Tareck El Aissami, who has been blacklisted by the U.S., said Friday, “To fight against the economic blockade there will be a basket of currencies to liberate us from the dollar.” There is no major market reaction for now – a modest bid to Bitcoin and some weakness in EUR and Gold (seems someone wants this to look like nothing).
