Headline: Putin’s offer to shield & develop Israel’s gas fields predated Russia’s military buildup in Syria
More than a fortnight ago, Russian President Vladimir put a proposition to Israel for Moscow to undertake responsibility for guarding Israel’s Mediterranean gas fields, along with the offer of a Russian investment of $7-10 billion for developing Leviathan, the largest well, and building a pipeline to Turkey for exporting the gas to Europe, debkafile reports. The offer was made to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in confidential phone conversations and through quiet envoys. At the time, Putin did not share with Netanyahu his plans for an imminent buildup of marines, air force units, warships and missiles in Syria, although the plan had been worked out in detail with Tehran in late July. The Russian ruler put it this way: Leviathan abuts on the fringes of Lebanon’s economic water zone and is therefore vulnerable to potential sabotage by Iran, Syria or Hizballah, whether by commando or rocket attack. A multibillion Russian investment in the field would make it a Russian project which neither Syria nor Hizballah would dare attack, even though it belongs to Israel. But now the situation has assumed a different face. Russian forces are streaming to Latakia, and Moscow has declared the area from Tartous, Syria up to Cyprus closed to shipping and air traffic from Sept. 15 to Oct. 7 in view of a “military exercise including test firings of guided missiles” from Russian warships. Israel’s strategic landscape had in fact changed radically in respects:
- Its government can no longer accept as a working hypothesis (which never, incidentally, held up) the short term expectancy of the Assad regime. The injection of Russian military might, combined with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards forces, have given Assad a substantial lease of life. The Israel Defense Forces must therefore revamp its posture on the Syrian front, and reassess its sponsorship of the select rebel groups which are holding the line in southern Syria against hostile Iranian or Hizballah cross-border attacks on northern Israel.The changing attitude was suggested in views heard in the last couple of days from top Israeli security officials, who now say that leaving Assad in office might be the better option, after all.
- The new Russian ground, air and sea buildup taking shape in Syria provides a shield not just for the Assad regime but also Hizballah. This too calls for changes in Israel’s military posture.
- The Russian military presence in Syria seriously inhibits Israel’s flexibility for launching military action against Iranian or Hizballah targets when needed.

Israeli police raided the plaza outside Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque on Sunday in what they said was a bid to head off Palestinian attempts to disrupt visits by Jews and foreign tourists on the eve of the Jewish New Year. The Palestinian youths, Israeli police said in a statement, had intended “to disrupt the routine of visits to the Temple Mount on the eve of Rosh Hashana”, the Jewish New Year, which begins at sunset on Sunday. Police used tear gas and threw stun grenades towards the Palestinian youths, who barricaded themselves inside the mosque and hurled rocks and flares, a Reuters witness said. “A police force … surprised the barricaded youngsters and entered the Temple Mount area” so that the visits could get under way, the statement added. Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan praised the Israeli Security Forces actions and restoration of order to the Temple Mount. “Having prepared in advance, knowing that this was the eve of Rosh Hashana, the Temple Mount is now open to anyone who wishes to visit,” Erdan said. The minister went on to say that the current arrangements concerning the Temple Mount would need to be rethought. “This holy place cannot be a battle-zone for entrenched Muslim rioters to throw stones and fireworks at security forces. This is the most serious and flagrant violation of the status quo yet, it will not go over in silence.” he added. No serious injuries were reported and the compound was opened to visitors after the violence subsided, police said.

The Temple Mount saw clashes between Palestinians and security forces for the second day in a row on Monday, the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. An official at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that the prime minister would convene an “emergency meeting” over recent Palestinian attacks on Tuesday. In Jerusalem, masked youths threw stones at police officers preparing to open the Temple Mount to visitors on Monday morning. A policeman was lightly wounded and was treated at the scene. A young Jewish passerby was also reportedly attacked. Nine arrests were made. Netanyahu will hold the consultations with top ministers Tuesday night after Rosh Hashanah ends. “The prime minister views with great severity the throwing of rocks and fire bombs against Israeli citizens and intends to fight the phenomena by all means, including increasing punishment and enforcement,” the official said anonymously according to protocol.

Palestinians announced Monday the finalizing of the State of Palestine‘s first Constitution draft, declared an official. Head of the drafting committee in the Palestinian Constitution Committee, Ahmed Al-Khaldi, told Xinhua that an official committee was commissioned to prepare a constitution for a state, not for a national authority nor an interim authority. He explained that intensive work has been carried out since May to prepare the 273 constitution articles which will merge parliamentary and presidential governing systems. Al-Khaldi explained that the draft guarantees the rights of Palestinians, such as the refugees’ right of return and compensation “according to resolutions set by the international authorities,” as well as maintaining both the role and position of Palestine’s Liberation Organization (PLO) in the Palestinian political system. He said that the committee had submitted the draft to the Palestinian Constitution Committee, headed by the speaker of the Palestinian National Council (PNC), Salem Zanoun. The Palestinian Constitution Committee will finalize an edition and present it to Palestinian party leaders before organizing a national referendum, explained Al-Khaldi.

Headline: Jordan Blasts Israel for ‘Attack’ on Temple Mount
Jordan, which has custodian rights over Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, condemned the Israeli army on Sunday calling their defense during an Arab mob riot on the holy site an “attack.” Egypt, the only other Arab country to have signed a peace treaty with the Jewish state, also condemned Israeli actions at the Temple Mount, which is sacred to both Muslims and Jews. “The Jordanian government condemns the assault carried out by special forces of the Israeli occupation army against the Al-Aqsa mosque compound,” Information Minister Mohammed Momani said. He accused Israel of “provocations” and “attempts to change the status quo” at Judaism’s holiest site. Under the current status quo, Jews are permitted to visit the esplanade but not to pray there for fear it would cause friction with Muslim worshippers. Earlier Sunday, masked Muslim rioters hurled rocks and fireworks at police on the Temple Mount, as well as firebombs near two entrances to the site. Jerusalem District Police and Border Police were forced to respond with riot dispersal measures. Despite defending themselves from rioters, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry condemned the police’s use of tear gas and sound bombs as an “unacceptable escalation against Muslim holy places in the occupied Palestinian territories.”

The Syrian army and Hezbollah have advanced further toward the center of the Syrian border town of Zabadani, trapping rebels in one square kilometer area, Al-Manar TV reported Sunday. The Hezbollah-run channel said the allied forces captured the Al-Jisr Mosque in the western part of central Zabadani during their recent advancements, and discovered explosives left inside by militants. The rebels, surrounded in one twenty-fifth of Zabadani’s total area, also suffered a number of casualties in the recent battles, the channel added.
The developments come two days after rebels ended a large-scale offensive on Hezbollah bases on the eastern outskirts of Zabadani, which resulted in the deaths of seven fighters Thursday and Friday.

Headline: Egypt government resigns amid corruption inquiry
Egypt’s government has resigned and the country’s oil minister has been asked to form a new cabinet within a week, the office of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has said. No official reason was given for the government’s resignation. However, a senior source was quoted as saying the aim was to reshuffle the cabinet following a corruption scandal. Last Monday, Egypt’s agriculture minister was arrested in connection with the corruption inquiry. In a statement, the presidency said Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab had delivered the government’s resignation to President Sisi who accepted it. It said the president had asked outgoing oil minister Sharif Ismail to form the new cabinet within a week. The outgoing government is to play a caretaker role until then, the statement said. A senior government official quoted by AFP news agency said the reshuffle was to “pump new blood” into the government following the arrest of agriculture minister Salah Helal. Shortly before his arrest, Mr Helal had resigned on the orders of President Sisi. Reports said the arrest was in connection with allegations that officials took bribes to help businessmen illegally acquire state land.

Headline: Mexican tourists killed by Egyptian security forces
Security forces in Egypt have mistakenly killed 12 people, including Mexican tourists, during an anti-terror operation, the interior ministry says. The tourists were travelling in four vehicles that entered a restricted zone in the Wahat area of the Western Desert, the ministry said. Sources said eight of those killed were Mexicans. Ten Mexicans and Egyptians were also injured. Egypt has been battling Islamist militants for years. Attacks on army and police, mainly in the Sinai peninsula, have escalated since Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in 2013. Egypt’s interior ministry said the four vehicles the tourists were travelling in were “mistakenly dealt with” during a joint military police and armed forces operation. It said the incident happened on Sunday in an area that “was off limits to foreign tourists”, but it did not give an exact location. Survivors said they suffered an “aerial attack” after stopping for a meal, according to Mexican Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu. She could only confirm that two Mexican nationals had been killed. Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto condemned the incident and demanded an “exhaustive” investigation by Egypt.

Syria Headline: Russia positioning tanks at Syria airfield: U.S. officials
Russia’s military build-up in Syria has grown to include the shipment of a half-dozen highly sophisticated battle tanks — and more troops — a defense official told Fox News, in what the source called the “first clear sign of offensive weapons arriving in Syria.” The Pentagon has now tracked a total of 15 Russian Antonov-124 Condor flights into Syria, reflecting a steady stream of military cargo into Syria. According to the latest intelligence, this also includes the arrival of two more Russian cargo ships, containing the tanks. Up to this point, the official said, the Russian cargo and weapons that have been delivered to Syria could be viewed as defensive in nature. The arrival of tanks cannot be viewed this way. The official said that Russian offensive operations could launch from Bassel Al-Assad International Airport “very soon.” The massive Condor flights carrying all kinds of supplies now arrive twice a day through Iran and Iraq into Bassel Al-Assad International Airport outside the port city of Latakia. The cargo is for Russian soldiers, not Syrian government forces, but is seen as a build-up to aid Bashar Assad’s embattled regime. The defense official, briefed on the latest satellite photos of the Syrian coastline, said: “This is the largest deployment of Russian forces outside the former Soviet Union since the collapse of the USSR.”

Two car bomb blasts killed at least 26 people and wounded dozens more in the mostly Kurdish-controlled eastern Syrian city of Hasaka on Monday, a monitor and state media reported. The separate explosions targeted and killed Kurdish fighters in one area and Syrian government forces in another, and also left at least 13 civilians dead, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The first blast on Monday hit Khashman area in the north of the city targeting Kurdish internal security forces there and killing six of them, the Observatory said. The second targeted a Syrian government forces headquarters in the center of Hasaka, killing seven security personnel, it said. State news agency SANA confirmed the total toll of 26. State TV gave an initial count of 20 people killed in the second blast alone. The Observatory said at least 13 civilians including two children were killed in the blasts. Hasaka had been divided into zones controlled by the Syrian government and the Kurds until an Islamic State attack in June.

Syria Headline: Rebels cut Damascus-Homs highway
The Army of Islam has cut the key M5 highway leading from Damascus toward Homs in the northeastern outskirts of the Syrian capital in an operation the rebel group said involved thousands of fighters. Pro-Syrian regime outlets reported that heavy fighting near the regime-controlled Dahiyet al-Assad suburb of Damascus has forced the closure of the motorway, which provides a key lifeline into the capital from the coast via Homs. Al-Khabar TV said Monday that “military operations in the area around Dahiyet al-Assad north of the capital are ongoing for the third day running.” “The Damascus-Homs international highway remains closed on both sides from the town of Harasta,” the pro-regime outlet added. Despite the prevalence of reports of the highway’s cutting—including on a number of opposition news outlets—Syria’s official state media has yet to make any mention of it. The Army of Islam, in turn, touted its offensive in northern Damascus with a bombastic statement Saturday in which the group claimed thousands of its fighters were taking part in an operation to seize government positions “in the mountainous military area which besieges Damascus Ghouta.” “The Army of Islam has launched the ‘Allah is Predominant’ battle in the mountain chain [overlooking] Eastern Ghouta after one and a half years of scouting, digging tunnels and training thousands of mujahideen to fight in barren areas,” the group announced.

A force of 160 American army soldiers have landed in Iraq as part of ongoing efforts by a US-led coalition to defeat the Islamic State that has captured swathes of the country and its war-torn Syrian neighbor, the Arabic-language media outlet Asharq Al-Awsat said. Iraqi security sources told the pan-Arab paper that the force landed at a military base in the Anbar province, from where Iraq is running its offensive against IS, Israel’s Walla news reported Saturday. The base is already hosting hundreds of American Army personnel who are training the local forces, but this is the first time that a US fighting force has arrived in Anbar, the report said. The soldiers are expected to take part in an operation to oust the Islamic State from Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, and some 70 miles (115 kilometers) west of Baghdad.

Headline: Regional Conflict between Iran and Turkey Manifests in Iraq
An Iranian-backed Iraqi Shi’a militia kidnapped 18 Turkish workers in Baghdad and subsequently demanded concessions from Turkey related to its policies in Syria and Lebanon. Turkey has recently concluded an agreement with the United States to support the anti-ISIS coalition particularly in Syria, where Turkey has also increased its support to opposition groups fighting the Iranian-backed Assad regime. This kidnapping by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq is a new escalation in the regional sectarian and geopolitical war between Iran and the Sunni states in the Middle East. Iraqi Shi’a militias likely will increase regionally focused action to support Iranian foreign policy, particularly as the Iraqi government deals with significant political and military challenges that limit its ability to respond.

Kurdish militants killed two police officers in a car bomb attack on a checkpoint in southeast Turkey on Sunday, as authorities imposed a curfew in the region’s largest city Diyarbakir where clashes broke out, security sources said. Turkish forces backed up by helicopters and commandos shelled a mountainous area where the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters had fled after the checkpoint attack in Sirnak province, killing six of them, the sources added. A police officer was reported killed in another confrontation. In other central areas of the city, police fired tear gas and water cannon at small groups of youths who threw stones and tried to set up street barricades in protest against the curfew. Speaking to reporters near the Sur district, the leader of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), Selahattin Demirtas, called for the Turkish state and PKK leadership across the border in Iraq’s Qandil mountains to halt the violence and return to peace talks. “Both Ankara and Qandil must take a position that responds to the people’s expectation with a clear, concrete project,” he said. “Even if the peace (talks) table has been upturned it is in our power to put it up again.”

Iran
Headline: Iran says finds unexpectedly high uranium reserve
Iran has discovered an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium and will soon begin extracting the radioactive element at a new mine, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation said on Saturday. The comments cast doubt on previous assessments from some Western analysts who said the country had a low supply and would sooner or later would need to import uranium, the raw material needed for its nuclear program. Any indication Iran could become more self-sufficient will be closely watched by world powers, which reached a landmark deal with Tehran in July over its program. They had feared the nuclear activities were aimed at acquiring the capability to produce atomic weapons – something denied by Tehran. “I cannot announce (the level of) Iran’s uranium mine reserves. The important thing is that before aerial prospecting for uranium ores we were not too optimistic, but the new discoveries have made us confident about our reserves,” Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA. Salehi said uranium exploration had covered almost two-thirds of Iran and would be complete in the next four years.

The longest-serving intelligence chief in the world, Mohammad Mediene (also known as Tewfiq), was fired today by Algeria’s president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika. The dismissal suggests the hidden power structure in Algiers, called ‘le pouvoir’ by Algerians, is in some murky turmoil. He was known as the “Lord of Algeria” and was the longest serving intelligence chief in the world — a J Edgar Hoover-like figure who dominated Algerian politics and had files on everyone. Yet on Sunday, Mohamed “Toufik” Mediene was summarily fired by President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ending his 25-year tenure at the head of Algeria’s fearsome intelligence service, the Directorate of Intelligence and Security. The downfall of Mediene could breathe new life into Algeria’s politics, which have been deadlocked over succession, even as falling oil prices threaten the country’s stability. Newspapers and television around the country have been stunned by the news, proclaiming the end of an era, and many wondering if it will mean the end of a political life characterized by rumors, murky backroom deals and a great deal of paranoia. Algeria’s powerful president had been locked in direct competition with Mediene for 15 years, a seesaw battle that saw many of the president’s associates charged with corruption.

More EU countries have said they are imposing border checks to deal with an influx of migrants. Austria, Slovakia and the Netherlands said they would tighten controls, hours after Germany imposed checks on its border with Austria. It came as EU interior ministers held emergency talks in Brussels. Hungary also completed a fence along its border with Serbia on Monday, and blocked a railway line used as the main crossing point by migrants. The BBC’s Fergal Keane at the border said people were being directed to an official registration point near the town of Roszke. Hungary is due to enforce tougher measures from midnight, including arresting illegal immigrants, and Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Hungary’s TV2 a state of emergency was “likely” to be introduced in the border area. The new border checks further north are a challenge to the EU’s Schengen agreement on free movement, although the rules do allow for temporary controls in emergencies. European states have been struggling to cope with a record influx of migrants, many aiming for Germany. EU ministers are due to vote on a plan from May to redistribute an initial 40,000 asylum seekers from Syria and Eritrea through mandatory quotas, though Central and East European states have opposed this. The EU has since raised the total number of people it seeks to share out through quotas to 160,000 asylum seekers across 23 EU states.

Colombia has said that two Venezuelan military jets entered its airspace without warning or authorization. The planes encroached into Colombian airspace twice on Saturday morning, according to the defence ministry. They reportedly flew over a border military base in the Alta Guajira region before returning to Venezuela. Colombian officials have demanded an explanation from Venezuela, which has yet to comment. Relations between the two countries have been tense. “Initially the Venezuelan military planes entered 2.9km (1.8 miles) into Colombian airspace,” a statement from Colombia’s Ministry of Defence said. The jets then returned to Venezuela and crossed into Colombian airspace again, “flying over a military base in the La Flor region”. The planes went 2.3km (1.4 miles) west of the border before flying back towards Castilletes, on the Colombian-Venezuelan border, the statement added. On 19 August, Venezuela closed most crossings along the long, porous border with Colombia and launched a major anti-smuggling operation. More than 1,000 Colombians living across the border were expelled for alleged involvement either with smuggling gangs or paramilitary groups. Thousands of other Colombians fled fearing reprisals.

Headline: Ten killed in air strike on Sanaa
Yemen’s exiled government pulled out of UN-mediated peace talks with its Houthi adversaries on Sunday, as troops from the Saudi-led coalition that is seeking to restore it took part in ground fighting in a central province for the first time, Reuters reports. The moves push back the prospects of a peaceful resolution to the conflict that has developed into a proxy war reflecting Saudi and Iranian rivalry for regional influence. Loyalists of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi have been battling the Iran-allied Houthis across Yemen since March, when the group forced him and his administration to flee to Saudi Arabia. In March, Saudi Arabia assembled an Arab coalition that mounted a fierce air campaign against the rebels. It is believed Iran is planning to use the Houthis to take over Yemen and seize the key strategic port of Aden, which controls the entrance to the Red Sea and ultimately to the Israeli resort city of Eilat, though Tehran denies the charges. The exiled government’s official news agency Saba said it would not join the UN mediated peace talks until the Houthis accepted an April UN Security Council resolution calling on them to recognize Hadi and quit Yemen’s main cities. “The gathering affirmed it would not take part in any meeting until the (Houthi) coup militia recognize international resolution 2216 and accepts to implement it unconditionally,” a statement carried by Saba and quoted by Reuters said. It said the meeting included President Hadi, his vice president and advisors.

You have heaped up treasure in the last days.” (James)

Headline: US interest rate rise could trigger global debt crisis
Is the U.S. economy going to crash this year? Is the stock market going to crash in 2015? Is a bear market underway? The answer is a resounding “yes,” according to many pundits across the financial media from CNBC to the Wall Street Journal. Considering that some doom and gloomers have been predicting financial Armageddon since the book of Genesis , should you believe them now? And if they are years early in making their calls, are they still correct? I have interviewed several bearish economists and investment advisers who have been screaming of economic apocalypse every step of the way since the bull market started in 2009. They contended the economic recovery since 2009 has been fabricated by massive government debt and money printing, also known as quantitative easing. The mountains of money created out of thin air will skyrocket inflation, which will eventually cripple the economy, they said. Everyone should buy gold and silver — the only real store of value when the U.S. dollar loses value owing to the onslaught of money supply.

Headline: Federal debt held by the public totals $107,000 per household
The federal debt held by the public totals more than $13 trillion, or about $107,000 per household in the United States, according to a report released this month by the Cato Institute. The report, titled “Washington’s Largest Monument: Government Debt,” suggests that growing debt, which has doubled over the past seven years, poses a burden on future taxpayers and could lead to a financial crisis. According to Cato, financing government debt through tax collection creates distortions since much of federal spending goes to subsidy and benefit programs, which reduce work incentives and savings. One economist says that “it costs taxpayers $3 to provide a benefit worth $1 to recipients.” In addition to misallocating resources, growing debt may cause private investment and saving to decline. “Businesses may be reluctant to make long-term investments if high and rising debt creates fears of tax increases down the road,” states the report. Debt held by the public is a different measure than the widely reported gross debt measure, which is now more than $18 trillion.

Pestilence & Plagues Luke 21:11 & Revelation 6:8 “And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.” (Luke) “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death (Thanatos in Greek meaning the death of the body whether natural or violent), and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation)
Headline: Hundreds quarantined as Ebola returns to north Sierra Leone district
Health authorities quarantined hundreds of people in northern Sierra Leone on Monday after a 16-year-old girl died of Ebola in an apparent case of sexual transmission, the first confirmed death from the virus in the district for nearly six months. Sierra Leone celebrated last month when it discharged the last remaining Ebola patient from its treatment centers. But since then a new spate of cases has erupted, leaving two dead and five people in treatment. The worst outbreak of Ebola on record has killed more than 11,000 people in Sierra Leone, Guinea and neighboring Liberia since it began in December 2013. Liberia was declared Ebola-free this month but growing evidence that the virus may survive longer than previously thought in sperm has raised fears of fresh outbreaks. The teenage girl, Kadiatu Thullah, died on Sunday at the International Medical Corps Ebola treatment unit, authorities said. Emmanuel Conteh, head of the Ebola Response Centre for the district of Bombali in northern Sierra Leone, said that some 690 people in the village of Robuya where Kadiatu lived would be isolated for three weeks.

The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.” ( Revelation 7: 16) “For behold, the day is coming,Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch” (Malachi 4:1) Prophecy Sign: Drought Jeremiah 50:38 & Isaiah 42:15 “A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up.

Headline: Next two years hottest, says Met Office
The next two years could be the hottest on record globally, says research from the UK’s Met Office. It warns big changes could be under way in the climate system with greenhouse gases increasing the impact of natural trends. The research shows that a major El Nino event is in play in the Pacific, which is expected to heat the world overall. But it also reveals that summers in Europe might get cooler for a while as the rest of the globe warms. The scientists confirm that in 2015 the Earth’s average surface temperature is running at, or near, record levels (0.68C above the 1961-1990 average). Met Office Hadley Centre director Prof Stephen Belcher said: “We know natural patterns contribute to global temperatures in any given year, but the very warm temperatures so far this year indicate the continued impact of (manmade) greenhouse gases. “With the potential that next year could be similarly warm, it’s clear that our climate continues to change.” An external reviewer, Prof Rowan Sutton, from the University of Reading, confirmed: “Unless there’s a big volcanic eruption, it looks very likely that globally 2014, 2015 and 2016 will be among the very warmest years ever recorded. “This isn’t a fluke. We are seeing the effects of energy steadily accumulating in the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere, caused by greenhouse gases.”

Headline: DOUBLE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
On Sept. 13th, the sun was eclipsed–twice! No one on Earth has ever seen anything like it. Indeed, it was only visible from Earth orbit. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded the event: The double eclipse began around 06:30 UT when Earth passed directly between the sun and SDO. The observatory watched as the body of our planet moved slowly across the face of the sun, producing a near black-out. When the Earth finally moved aside about an hour later, another eclipse was in progress. This time, the Moon was in the way.

Headline: Japan’s largest volcano Mt. Aso erupts, forces evacuation
Mount Aso, Japan’s largest active volcano, erupted on Monday, sending plumes of smoke 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) into the air and prompting tourist evacuations, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said. Dramatic footage of the massive eruption was streamed live, with volcanic ash visibly filling a large area. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, but local authorities have pushed up the danger level to three out of five. The 1,592-meter (5,222-feet) Mount Aso is located on Japan’s southernmost main island, Kyushu, and is considered a popular hiking destination for tourists. It is also the second largest mountain in Japan and is one of the biggest calderas in the world, encompassing an area 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) north to south and 18 kilometers (11.2 miles) east to west. Officials said that around 30 people were parked near the peak when the volcano erupted, but that they had been evacuated. Overall, about 100 tourists were transported to safety. There had been no indication that an eruption was coming, according to meteorologists. A second eruption has not been ruled out, according to Sadayuki Kitagawa, senior coordinator for volcanic affairs at Japan’s Meteorological Agency. Kitagawa told people to be careful of falling rocks due to a “possibility of volcanic rocks landing in an area over a 1-kilometer radius.”
