EU forces 'voluntary' migrant relocation on eastern states By Nikolaj Nielsen and Eszter Zalan-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, 22. Sep, 21:28-EU states agreed a legally binding plan Tuesday (22 September) on relocation of 120,000 refugees, in a vote which thwarted opposition from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia.The vote marks an unusual EU step, in terms of forcing a minority of EU states to take action on issues of national sovereignty.In a sign of wider opposition, Finland abstained."We've reached an agreement with a very big majority, bigger than required by [the EU] treaty. We would have preferred unanimity, and it's not because we haven't tried", Luxembourg foreign minister Jean Asselborn told press after the meeting in Brussels.He said the EU Council decision doesn’t include a European Commission “key” on how to calculate national relocation quotas, based on population size and wealth.He also said this means the 120,000 refugee relocation scheme is "voluntary"."The total remains 120,000 persons. Now these figures have been accepted by member states on a voluntary basis".But he added that opponents must abide by the outcome of the vote."No country has the right to refuse”, he said. "I have no doubt that they will implement these decisions fully in line with community law”.Commission vice-president Frans Timmermans said he’ll “make sure” it’s implemented, adding that “infringement proceedings” could follow if it isn’t.Asselborn tried to defuse tension. "We’re in an emergency situation, the EU is accused [of] not moving quickly, so we had to decide on this plan”, he said.--Bitter divide-But Tuesday’s events mark a bitter divide.Slovakia’s prime minister said the same day: "As long as I'm prime minister, mandatory quotas won't be implemented on Slovak territory”.Czech interior minister Milan Chovane said Prague might challenge the decision in the European Court of Justice.The fiercest opposition had come from eastern European members, notably the Visegrad Four (V4): the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.They met several times in recent weeks to restate their opposition to mandatory quotas.But the Czech Republic’s Chovanec tweeted on Tuesday: "Poland took a brake.

Militants, migrants, pope and Putin to headline at United Nations-Reuters By Michelle Nichols and Louis Charbonneau-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - World leaders will gather for their annual meeting at the United Nations starting Friday as Europe faces a flood of asylum seekers, many fleeing Syria's civil war in the worst humanitarian crisis since the world body was created 70 years ago.Islamic State will also top the agenda. U.S. President Barack Obama will host a counterterrorism meeting, with over 100 countries invited, that will address Islamic State, foreign terrorist fighters and violent extremism. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will chair a high-level U.N. Security Council meeting on counterterrorism.But before the marathon of speeches in the 193-member General Assembly starts on Monday, Pope Francis will address the United Nations on Friday ahead of a three-day summit with more than 150 world leaders that will formally adopt a global sustainable development agenda for the next 15 years."General Assembly high-level week is always known as diplomatic speed-dating, but I think this year is breaking records," said the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power. She said it was believed to be the highest number of world leaders attending in U.N. history.The leaders making rare appearances for the United Nations' 70th anniversary include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Cuban leader Raul Castro and Russian President Vladimir Putin.The United Nations was established as the successor to the failed League of Nations in 1945 after World War Two to prevent a similar conflict from occurring again.Xi Jinping, who is in the United States for an official visit this week, will make his U.N. debut as China's president.The new sustainable development agenda, which was agreed by U.N. members last month, aims to wipe out hunger and extreme poverty, reduce inequality within and between countries, achieve gender equality, improve water management and energy, and urgently combat climate change.Francis, a strong advocate for action to combat climate change who in June issued the first papal document on the environment, will be the fifth pope to address the United Nations.Putin will address the assembly on Monday. While he has no formal meeting planned with Obama, there will be opportunity for the two to speak on the sidelines."It looks like Russia may table new peace proposals for Syria, but the chances of a breakthrough are low," said Richard Gowan, who teaches at Columbia University."Putin will use his first visit to the U.N. in a decade to defend his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad forcefully, but Western and Arab governments will respond equally toughly," Gowan added. "Nasty debates over Syria could poison the atmosphere."Putin is expected to use the U.N. platform to speak about the need for countries to join together to destroy Islamic State and tackle the threats posed by extremism and terrorism.Tensions are high between the United States and Russia. The former Cold War foes have a common adversary in Islamic State militants, but have been deadlocked over how to end the war in Syria, with Russia supporting Assad and the United States saying he has to step aside."In Syria, the combatants are defying all norms of humanity," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said ahead of General Assembly sessions. "Responsibility for ending this horror rests on the parties, and on the neighbors and external forces that are fueling the fighting."More than 250,000 people have been killed in Syria since a 2011 government crackdown on pro-democracy protesters spiraled into civil war, triggering the rise of Islamic State. Some 7.6 million people have been displaced, while another 4 million have fled. Tens of thousands are now making their way to Europe.Amid an uproar over the treatment of refugees and migrants by some European countries, Ban has urged European leaders to show compassion. He will host a meeting of world leaders on Sept. 30 to discuss the global migration crisis."Brutal conflicts, breakdowns in basic governance, economic despair and other factors have generated displacements of people not seen since the Second World War," said Ban, adding that worldwide some 60 million people have fled their homes.Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, will attend as well. Zarif is expected to take part in a meeting on Monday with the foreign ministers of the six powers who negotiated a historic nuclear deal with Tehran, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.Along with Syria, the United Nations says Yemen, South Sudan and Iraq are among its worst humanitarian crises. High-level meetings are also due to be held on these conflicts during the General Assembly.(Reporting by Michelle Nichols; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Chinese aircraft performed 'unsafe' maneuver near U.S. plane: Pentagon-Reuters-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Chinese aircraft performed an unsafe maneuver during an air intercept of a U.S. spy plane last week, a Pentagon spokesman said on Tuesday, an incident revealed just as Chinese President Xi Jinping kicks off a week-long U.S. visit.The intercept occurred on Sept. 15, about 80 miles east of the Shandong peninsula in the Yellow Sea and involved an American RC-135 reconnaissance plane, said Peter Cook, the Pentagon spokesman."The pilot reported that he felt ... the (Chinese) aircraft passed in front of his nose in an unsafe fashion," Cook said. "There's no indication this was a near collision."The Department of Defense is reviewing the report of the incident, Cook said.Cook said last week's intercept was not similar to an incident in August 2014, when a Chinese warplane flew as close as 20 to 30 feet (7 to 10 meters) to a U.S. Navy patrol jet and conducted a barrel roll over the plane.But it was the latest in a series of moves by China seen as an assertion of the expanding reach of its military. Earlier this month, five Chinese Navy ships sailed in the Bering Sea off Alaska as U.S. President Barack Obama toured the U.S. state.Republican U.S. Senator John McCain said in a statement on Tuesday that last week's intercept was part of a "pattern of aggressive behavior in the Asia-Pacific region" by China."That this flight came amid negotiations of rules for air-to-air encounters and just one week ahead of President Xi's arrival in the United States raises further questions about China's intentions and the Obama administrations response thus far," the statement said.Xi's visit will include meetings with U.S. business leaders, a black-tie state dinner at the White House, and an address at the United Nations. The visit comes as U.S.-China relations have been strained over a number of issues, including disputes in the South China Sea, cyber espionage by Chinese actors, and Chinese economic policies.(Reporting by Yeganeh Torbati; Editing by Andrew Hay)
US officials expect robust talks with China on cyber, trade-Associated Press By KEVIN FREKING-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officials will seek to demonstrate during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit that cracking down on theft of commercial secrets and promoting fair trade is in China's best interests in helping to sustain and grow the world's second-largest economy.White House officials previewing Xi's visit Thursday and Friday say that engagement with China is critical. The officials said they expect robust discussions on cyber, trade and human rights, and they will also look for more ways to improve cooperation to stem global warming and improve global health. The two countries worked together to tackle the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser, said that cracking down on the theft of intellectual property will be a centerpiece of discussions. He said U.S. businesses are key stakeholders in promoting a strong U.S.-China relationship, and China shouldn't want to risk that support."We are increasingly hearing concerns about activities that the Chinese have been engaged in, so we want to make very clear this puts at risk China's ability to continue on its growth if businesses don't have confidence they won't be subjected to cyber theft," Rhodes said.Xi is scheduled to arrive Thursday afternoon and the two presidents plan a private dinner that night. Officials said they expect the two leaders to use the dinner to have informal discussions about their respective priorities. On Friday, there will be an arrival ceremony at the White House followed by meetings and a joint news conference. A state dinner honoring the Chinese president will be held at the White House on Friday night.Officials said the relationship between the U.S. and China is complicated but that it could be argued they are working together on a broader array of issues than ever before. At the same time, they say the two countries face exceptional challenges "and we intend to tackle those issues head on and deal with them in a forthright manner," said Dan Kritenbrink, senior director for Asian affairs with the White House's National Security Council.
Iraqi Kurds reassert right to export oil to U.S. despite court ruling-Reuters-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
ERBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Kurdistan reasserted its right to export oil independently to the United States and other countries on Tuesday despite a court ruling in favor of the Iraqi federal government, which has sought to block crude sales from the autonomous region.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans on Monday dismissed the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)'s bid to overturn an earlier ruling against a planned sale of oil to an unidentified buyer in the U.S.Iraq's federal government filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court last year to thwart the sale of the one million barrel cargo from the Kurdistan region in an ongoing dispute over the right to export oil.The tanker was stuck off U.S. shores in legal limbo for six months before sailing to Israel where it was sold, rendering the Kurds' appeal moot, the court said in Monday's ruling. Kurdistan's Ministry of Natural Resources however said in a statement on Tuesday that the ruling would force the Iraqi oil ministry to drop its "baseless" lawsuit."Although the KRG believes that the case should have been dismissed earlier, and for different reasons, the state of play remains the same: there is no prohibition on the KRG’s export of oil to the United States or elsewhere, and the KRG will continue to export hydrocarbons as the Iraqi constitution permits.”A deal reached in December between Baghdad and the Kurds to resolve their dispute over oil export rights and revenue sharing has come apart in recent months. The Kurds have ramped up independent oil sales.(Reporting by Isabel Coles, editing by William Hardy)
Pentagon announces transfer of Guantanamo detainee to Saudi Arabia-Reuters By Will Dunham-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Tuesday it had transferred Abdul Shalabi, a longtime hunger striker at the Guantanamo Bay prison and described as a bodyguard for former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, to his home country of Saudi Arabia.His departure after more than 13-1/2 years at the Guantanamo facility leaves 114 detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba, the Pentagon said in a statement. The U.S. Defense Department has described the 39-year-old Shalabi as a member of al Qaeda and a longtime bodyguard for bin Laden, who received "specialized close combat training for his role as a suicide operative in an aborted component" of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.Shalabi was transferred "to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," the Pentagon said, marking the second detainee departure from Guantanamo in less than a week. The Pentagon last Thursday said Younis Abdurrahman Chekkouri, a Moroccan detainee held since 2002, had been returned to his home country." The United States is grateful to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility," the Pentagon said.It said the United States coordinated with Saudi Arabia "to ensure this transfer took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures."In April, Shalabi's representatives urged the United States to transfer him to Saudi Arabia "as soon as possible" and that he "should not be considered a significant and continuing threat to the security of the United States."They said he had been on a hunger strike since 2005.They told a review board considering his case that hunger striking "is not an illegal act, but rather a non-violent and peaceful means of protesting camp conditions and continued detainment."A 2008 Pentagon document said he was captured by Pakistani forces in December 2001 while attempting to cross the Afghanistan-Pakistan border after fleeing from bin Laden's Tora Bora mountain complex.He arrived at Guantanamo in January 2002, becoming among the first detainees sent there by former President George W. Bush's administration.The review board said on June 15 it determined his continued detention at Guantanamo was "no longer necessary" to protect U.S. security and expressed confidence in a Saudi "rehabilitation program" and that country's ability to monitor him after he competes the program.(Reporting by Will Dunham; Editing by Peter Cooney)
Venezuela holds military exercise, raising tensions with Guyana-AFP-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela said Tuesday it is conducting military exercises in the eastern part of the country, a move neighboring Guyana denounced as an "extraordinary escalation" of an ongoing border dispute. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said the troop buildup, which Guyana had noticed with concern, was an "operational deployment exercise."He said Venezuelans could rest assured "because we are really preparing ourselves ... even with all the fronts we face today," alluding to simultaneous border tensions with Guyana and Colombia.Guyana's President David Granger said his cabinet was meeting with military and police chiefs to craft a response to Venezuela's movement of naval vessels and ground forces in the area. Venezuela has been pressing claims to Guyana's Essequibo region, which encompasses two-thirds of the former British colony, since Exxon Mobil discovered oil in disputed waters off its coast earlier this year."We feel that Venezuela is treading a dangerous course at this point in time rather than seeking a peaceful resolution of the matter," Granger told reporters."Venezuela seems to be pursuing a very offensive and aggressive course," he added."What we have noticed during the month of September is an extraordinary escalation of Venezuelan military activity in eastern Venezuela," said the retired brigadier.Calling the military build-up "very provocative," he said he would be raising the issue in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly next week.Granger had said previously he will tell UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that Guyana is no longer interested in continuing a 23-year old mediation process, which Venezuela wants to revive.Granger instead wants the International Court of Justice in the Hague to settle the border dispute. Guyana maintains that valid land borders were set in an 1899 arbitration court decision, a ruling Venezuela has never recognized.The latest round of recriminations followed Exxon Mobil's announcement May 20 it had made a significant oil discovery in an offshore concession granted by Georgetown.Venezuela countered by unilaterally extending its maritime boundaries to include waters off the Essequibo region.The tensions lately have been overshadowed by a month-long crisis on Venezuela's western border, which saw thousands of Colombians flee the country amid a government crackdown on migrants and smuggling. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos agreed Monday to restore diplomatic contacts and work out their differences.
Syrian political process must be revived: Cameron and Hollande-AFP-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
London (AFP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande agreed that a political process in Syria must be revived, a source close to the French president said.At a meeting at Cameron's country residence, Chequers, the two leaders "expressed agreement on the need to revitalise the political process" in Syria, according to a source in Hollande's entourage.In addition, the two leaders "discussed how a big part of the answer to the refugee crisis must be a solution to the situation in Syria", a spokesman for Cameron's office said.The two agreed that a European Council meeting on Wednesday should focus on "increasing assistance for the countries neighbouring Syria to enable more refugees to stay there" the spokesman added.The regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria -- where a brutal conflict has killed more than 240,000 and caused four million to flee -- received its first new fighter planes and weapons from ally Russia to fight the Islamic State group on Tuesday.The French source described as "an important step" Cameron and Hollande's exchange of views on Syria and Libya, where instability is blamed for exacerbating the worst refugee crisis since World War II.On Tuesday, European Union countries agreed to accept 120,000 refugees between them despite fierce opposition from central and eastern European countries.The two had agreed "that EU countries should do more to return migrants who don't have a genuine claim to asylum to their countries of origin", according the Cameron spokesman.The prime minister also "underlined the UK support for French efforts to secure a global climate deal" at upcoming United Nations talks in Paris at the end of this year.The Conservative leader showed Hollande around Chequers, including a portrait gallery of 16 former prime ministers and the "Long Gallery", where former leader Winston Churchill watched films during World War II.The two shared a working dinner where they discussed British demands for reforms to the European Union ahead of a referendum on its membership due by 2017.Cameron is seeking changes to areas including competitiveness in Europe, powers for national parliaments, relations in the euro zone and the ability of citizens from one member state to claim social security benefits in another, the French source said."They agreed that many things could be settled without having to revise the treaties," the source added.The talks also touched on Russia and Ukraine, where separatist rebels are battling Kiev's forces in the east.Both leaders agreed on the importance of implementing a peace plan signed in February in Belarussian capital Minsk, according to the French source.

She said it was believed to be the highest number of world leaders attending in U.N. history.The leaders making rare appearances for the United Nations' 70th anniversary include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Cuban leader Raul Castro and Russian President Vladimir Putin.The United Nations was established as the successor to the failed League of Nations in 1945 after World War Two to prevent a similar conflict from occurring again.Xi Jinping, who is in the United States for an official visit this week, will make his U.N. debut as China's president.The new sustainable development agenda, which was agreed by U.N. members last month, aims to wipe out hunger and extreme poverty, reduce inequality within and between countries, achieve gender equality, improve water management and energy, and urgently combat climate change.Francis, a strong advocate for action to combat climate change who in June issued the first papal document on the environment, will be the fifth pope to address the United Nations.Putin will address the assembly on Monday. While he has no formal meeting planned with Obama, there will be opportunity for the two to speak on the sidelines."It looks like Russia may table new peace proposals for Syria, but the chances of a breakthrough are low," said Richard Gowan, who teaches at Columbia University."Putin will use his first visit to the U.N. in a decade to defend his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad forcefully, but Western and Arab governments will respond equally toughly," Gowan added. "Nasty debates over Syria could poison the atmosphere."Putin is expected to use the U.N. platform to speak about the need for countries to join together to destroy Islamic State and tackle the threats posed by extremism and terrorism.Tensions are high between the United States and Russia. The former Cold War foes have a common adversary in Islamic State militants, but have been deadlocked over how to end the war in Syria, with Russia supporting Assad and the United States saying he has to step aside."In Syria, the combatants are defying all norms of humanity," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said ahead of General Assembly sessions. "Responsibility for ending this horror rests on the parties, and on the neighbors and external forces that are fueling the fighting."More than 250,000 people have been killed in Syria since a 2011 government crackdown on pro-democracy protesters spiraled into civil war, triggering the rise of Islamic State. Some 7.6 million people have been displaced, while another 4 million have fled. Tens of thousands are now making their way to Europe.Amid an uproar over the treatment of refugees and migrants by some European countries, Ban has urged European leaders to show compassion. He will host a meeting of world leaders on Sept. 30 to discuss the global migration crisis."Brutal conflicts, breakdowns in basic governance, economic despair and other factors have generated displacements of people not seen since the Second World War," said Ban, adding that worldwide some 60 million people have fled their homes.Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, will attend as well. Zarif is expected to take part in a meeting on Monday with the foreign ministers of the six powers who negotiated a historic nuclear deal with Tehran, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.Along with Syria, the United Nations says Yemen, South Sudan and Iraq are among its worst humanitarian crises. High-level meetings are also due to be held on these conflicts during the General Assembly.(Reporting by Michelle Nichols; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Chinese aircraft performed 'unsafe' maneuver near U.S. plane: Pentagon-Reuters-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Chinese aircraft performed an unsafe maneuver during an air intercept of a U.S. spy plane last week, a Pentagon spokesman said on Tuesday, an incident revealed just as Chinese President Xi Jinping kicks off a week-long U.S. visit.The intercept occurred on Sept. 15, about 80 miles east of the Shandong peninsula in the Yellow Sea and involved an American RC-135 reconnaissance plane, said Peter Cook, the Pentagon spokesman."The pilot reported that he felt ... the (Chinese) aircraft passed in front of his nose in an unsafe fashion," Cook said. "There's no indication this was a near collision."The Department of Defense is reviewing the report of the incident, Cook said.Cook said last week's intercept was not similar to an incident in August 2014, when a Chinese warplane flew as close as 20 to 30 feet (7 to 10 meters) to a U.S. Navy patrol jet and conducted a barrel roll over the plane.But it was the latest in a series of moves by China seen as an assertion of the expanding reach of its military. Earlier this month, five Chinese Navy ships sailed in the Bering Sea off Alaska as U.S. President Barack Obama toured the U.S. state.Republican U.S. Senator John McCain said in a statement on Tuesday that last week's intercept was part of a "pattern of aggressive behavior in the Asia-Pacific region" by China."That this flight came amid negotiations of rules for air-to-air encounters and just one week ahead of President Xi's arrival in the United States raises further questions about China's intentions and the Obama administrations response thus far," the statement said.Xi's visit will include meetings with U.S. business leaders, a black-tie state dinner at the White House, and an address at the United Nations. The visit comes as U.S.-China relations have been strained over a number of issues, including disputes in the South China Sea, cyber espionage by Chinese actors, and Chinese economic policies.(Reporting by Yeganeh Torbati; Editing by Andrew Hay)
US officials expect robust talks with China on cyber, trade-Associated Press By KEVIN FREKING-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officials will seek to demonstrate during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit that cracking down on theft of commercial secrets and promoting fair trade is in China's best interests in helping to sustain and grow the world's second-largest economy.White House officials previewing Xi's visit Thursday and Friday say that engagement with China is critical. The officials said they expect robust discussions on cyber, trade and human rights, and they will also look for more ways to improve cooperation to stem global warming and improve global health. The two countries worked together to tackle the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser, said that cracking down on the theft of intellectual property will be a centerpiece of discussions. He said U.S. businesses are key stakeholders in promoting a strong U.S.-China relationship, and China shouldn't want to risk that support."We are increasingly hearing concerns about activities that the Chinese have been engaged in, so we want to make very clear this puts at risk China's ability to continue on its growth if businesses don't have confidence they won't be subjected to cyber theft," Rhodes said.Xi is scheduled to arrive Thursday afternoon and the two presidents plan a private dinner that night. Officials said they expect the two leaders to use the dinner to have informal discussions about their respective priorities. On Friday, there will be an arrival ceremony at the White House followed by meetings and a joint news conference. A state dinner honoring the Chinese president will be held at the White House on Friday night.Officials said the relationship between the U.S. and China is complicated but that it could be argued they are working together on a broader array of issues than ever before. At the same time, they say the two countries face exceptional challenges "and we intend to tackle those issues head on and deal with them in a forthright manner," said Dan Kritenbrink, senior director for Asian affairs with the White House's National Security Council.
Iraqi Kurds reassert right to export oil to U.S. despite court ruling-Reuters-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
ERBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Kurdistan reasserted its right to export oil independently to the United States and other countries on Tuesday despite a court ruling in favor of the Iraqi federal government, which has sought to block crude sales from the autonomous region.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans on Monday dismissed the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)'s bid to overturn an earlier ruling against a planned sale of oil to an unidentified buyer in the U.S.Iraq's federal government filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court last year to thwart the sale of the one million barrel cargo from the Kurdistan region in an ongoing dispute over the right to export oil.The tanker was stuck off U.S. shores in legal limbo for six months before sailing to Israel where it was sold, rendering the Kurds' appeal moot, the court said in Monday's ruling. Kurdistan's Ministry of Natural Resources however said in a statement on Tuesday that the ruling would force the Iraqi oil ministry to drop its "baseless" lawsuit."Although the KRG believes that the case should have been dismissed earlier, and for different reasons, the state of play remains the same: there is no prohibition on the KRG’s export of oil to the United States or elsewhere, and the KRG will continue to export hydrocarbons as the Iraqi constitution permits.”A deal reached in December between Baghdad and the Kurds to resolve their dispute over oil export rights and revenue sharing has come apart in recent months. The Kurds have ramped up independent oil sales.(Reporting by Isabel Coles, editing by William Hardy)
Pentagon announces transfer of Guantanamo detainee to Saudi Arabia-Reuters By Will Dunham-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Tuesday it had transferred Abdul Shalabi, a longtime hunger striker at the Guantanamo Bay prison and described as a bodyguard for former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, to his home country of Saudi Arabia.His departure after more than 13-1/2 years at the Guantanamo facility leaves 114 detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba, the Pentagon said in a statement. The U.S. Defense Department has described the 39-year-old Shalabi as a member of al Qaeda and a longtime bodyguard for bin Laden, who received "specialized close combat training for his role as a suicide operative in an aborted component" of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.Shalabi was transferred "to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," the Pentagon said, marking the second detainee departure from Guantanamo in less than a week. The Pentagon last Thursday said Younis Abdurrahman Chekkouri, a Moroccan detainee held since 2002, had been returned to his home country." The United States is grateful to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility," the Pentagon said.It said the United States coordinated with Saudi Arabia "to ensure this transfer took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures."In April, Shalabi's representatives urged the United States to transfer him to Saudi Arabia "as soon as possible" and that he "should not be considered a significant and continuing threat to the security of the United States."They said he had been on a hunger strike since 2005.They told a review board considering his case that hunger striking "is not an illegal act, but rather a non-violent and peaceful means of protesting camp conditions and continued detainment."A 2008 Pentagon document said he was captured by Pakistani forces in December 2001 while attempting to cross the Afghanistan-Pakistan border after fleeing from bin Laden's Tora Bora mountain complex.He arrived at Guantanamo in January 2002, becoming among the first detainees sent there by former President George W. Bush's administration.The review board said on June 15 it determined his continued detention at Guantanamo was "no longer necessary" to protect U.S. security and expressed confidence in a Saudi "rehabilitation program" and that country's ability to monitor him after he competes the program.(Reporting by Will Dunham; Editing by Peter Cooney)
Venezuela holds military exercise, raising tensions with Guyana-AFP-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela said Tuesday it is conducting military exercises in the eastern part of the country, a move neighboring Guyana denounced as an "extraordinary escalation" of an ongoing border dispute. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said the troop buildup, which Guyana had noticed with concern, was an "operational deployment exercise."He said Venezuelans could rest assured "because we are really preparing ourselves ... even with all the fronts we face today," alluding to simultaneous border tensions with Guyana and Colombia.Guyana's President David Granger said his cabinet was meeting with military and police chiefs to craft a response to Venezuela's movement of naval vessels and ground forces in the area. Venezuela has been pressing claims to Guyana's Essequibo region, which encompasses two-thirds of the former British colony, since Exxon Mobil discovered oil in disputed waters off its coast earlier this year."We feel that Venezuela is treading a dangerous course at this point in time rather than seeking a peaceful resolution of the matter," Granger told reporters."Venezuela seems to be pursuing a very offensive and aggressive course," he added."What we have noticed during the month of September is an extraordinary escalation of Venezuelan military activity in eastern Venezuela," said the retired brigadier.Calling the military build-up "very provocative," he said he would be raising the issue in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly next week.Granger had said previously he will tell UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that Guyana is no longer interested in continuing a 23-year old mediation process, which Venezuela wants to revive.Granger instead wants the International Court of Justice in the Hague to settle the border dispute. Guyana maintains that valid land borders were set in an 1899 arbitration court decision, a ruling Venezuela has never recognized.The latest round of recriminations followed Exxon Mobil's announcement May 20 it had made a significant oil discovery in an offshore concession granted by Georgetown.Venezuela countered by unilaterally extending its maritime boundaries to include waters off the Essequibo region.The tensions lately have been overshadowed by a month-long crisis on Venezuela's western border, which saw thousands of Colombians flee the country amid a government crackdown on migrants and smuggling. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos agreed Monday to restore diplomatic contacts and work out their differences.
Syrian political process must be revived: Cameron and Hollande-AFP-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
London (AFP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande agreed that a political process in Syria must be revived, a source close to the French president said.At a meeting at Cameron's country residence, Chequers, the two leaders "expressed agreement on the need to revitalise the political process" in Syria, according to a source in Hollande's entourage.In addition, the two leaders "discussed how a big part of the answer to the refugee crisis must be a solution to the situation in Syria", a spokesman for Cameron's office said.The two agreed that a European Council meeting on Wednesday should focus on "increasing assistance for the countries neighbouring Syria to enable more refugees to stay there" the spokesman added.The regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria -- where a brutal conflict has killed more than 240,000 and caused four million to flee -- received its first new fighter planes and weapons from ally Russia to fight the Islamic State group on Tuesday.The French source described as "an important step" Cameron and Hollande's exchange of views on Syria and Libya, where instability is blamed for exacerbating the worst refugee crisis since World War II.On Tuesday, European Union countries agreed to accept 120,000 refugees between them despite fierce opposition from central and eastern European countries.The two had agreed "that EU countries should do more to return migrants who don't have a genuine claim to asylum to their countries of origin", according the Cameron spokesman.The prime minister also "underlined the UK support for French efforts to secure a global climate deal" at upcoming United Nations talks in Paris at the end of this year.The Conservative leader showed Hollande around Chequers, including a portrait gallery of 16 former prime ministers and the "Long Gallery", where former leader Winston Churchill watched films during World War II.The two shared a working dinner where they discussed British demands for reforms to the European Union ahead of a referendum on its membership due by 2017.Cameron is seeking changes to areas including competitiveness in Europe, powers for national parliaments, relations in the euro zone and the ability of citizens from one member state to claim social security benefits in another, the French source said."They agreed that many things could be settled without having to revise the treaties," the source added.The talks also touched on Russia and Ukraine, where separatist rebels are battling Kiev's forces in the east.Both leaders agreed on the importance of implementing a peace plan signed in February in Belarussian capital Minsk, according to the French source.
