Premiers agree carbon pricing to be part of overall climate plan-[The Canadian Press]-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
VANCOUVER - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada's premiers have agreed that carbon pricing will be part of any national plan to address climate change.He says they will study pricing options that would be adapted to the specific circumstances of each province and territory.The working group is one of four announced by Trudeau in Vancouver on Thursday after a day-long climate-change meeting with first ministers.Trudeau said they are to meet again in the fall when the working groups are to report back."The commitment we made today, with the Vancouver Declaration, shows all first ministers in this country united on carbon pricing mechanisms," he said."The fact that we have consensus on the need to include carbon pricing in our approach to addressing climate change right across the country is a great thing indeed."He added he's happy there's a plan to move forward while respecting regional differences."That is something we have all committed to. Now, the working group that we have put together will dig into the mechanisms that will be most effective and most appropriate for each jurisdiction, recognizing that there are areas that face greater challenges."The federal government has been quietly insisting for weeks that a national carbon price, as promised in the Liberal election platform, will be imposed from above if provinces are unable to agree.The day started with several premiers pushing back against that federal resolve.Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil suggested there was "more than one way to deal with the carbon issue."He said Atlantic Canada's heavy spending on hydro-electric transmission has effectively already built in a carbon price with electricity rates that are the highest in Canada.Yukon Premier Darrell Pasloski said he and his fellow territorial premiers are against imposing additional costs on consumers of fossil fuels in the North.Brad Wall of Saskatchewan came to Vancouver warning against a carbon tax in a fragile Canadian economy, but cleared the air late Wednesday by saying his province would participate "constructively" in any working groups.Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger, who like Wall faces re-election this spring, said there's a common understanding among premiers that action on climate change can and should take many paths."The do-nothing option is not there," he said.It was Trudeau's second meeting with the premiers since he took office in November.

Shafia trial tainted by honour killing expert testimony: lawyers argue-[The Canadian Press]-Diana Mehta, The Canadian Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
TORONTO - A father, mother and son, who were convicted of murdering the couple's three daughters and another family member, have asked Ontario's highest court for new trials, arguing the original one had been tainted by "highly prejudicial" testimony on so-called honour killings.Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya and their son Hamed were convicted in January 2012 of four counts of first-degree murder — killings their trial judge described as being motivated by their "twisted concept of honour."But the trio's lawyers argued Thursday that testimony from a Crown expert on so-called honour killings should not have been allowed and was among several errors made by the trial judge."That type of evidence is flat out prohibited," lawyer Frank Addario told a panel of three appeal court judges. "She should not have been permitted to tell (the jury) how honour killings are typically carried out or read out denunciations on honour killings."The Shafia family was originally from Afghanistan but fled at the outbreak of war in the country and eventually immigrated to Canada.In June 2009, the bodies of Shafia and Yahya's daughters — Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13 — and Shafia's first wife in a polygamous marriage, 52-year-old Rona Amir Mohammad, were found in a car at the bottom of the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ont.The Crown at the trial asserted the murders were committed after the girls "shamed" the family by dating and acting out, and Amir Mohammad was simply disposed of.In making their case, the Crown called Shahzrad Mojab, a professor whose research focuses primarily on violence against women particularly in the Middle East.Mojab's evidence involved "stereotypically reasoning about Afghani Muslims," Addario argued, while her testimony on how honour killings are typically carried out had "zero legal relevance.""Its probative value was outweighed by its prejudicial value," he said. "A Canadian jury is perfectly capable of understanding that men of all ethnicities will sometimes hurt female family members for misguided reasons of honour, without the assistance of expert evidence."Lawyers for Shafia, Yahya and Hamed also argued the trial judge did not properly assess the admissibility of certain hearsay statements made by the four victims before their death, and didn't instruct the jury properly on them.They further argued the trial judge erred by not providing sufficient direction to the jury on the Crown’s theory that Yahya could be found guilty of murder on the basis that her alleged failure to protect her children from her husband made her causally responsible for their deaths.An additional twist to the joint appeal came in an argument made by Hamed's lawyer, who asked the court to admit fresh evidence which he said proves his client was only 17 — a minor — and not 18 and a half at the time of his siblings' deaths."We have evidence that is reasonably capable of belief," Scott Hutchison said as he asked for Hamed to be treated as a youth by the justice system. "In my submission you must give effect to the fresh evidence, set aside the conviction and order a new trial."Hutchison said that at the time of the trial, Hamed didn't know that he could be a year younger than he thought he was and neither did his father or his trial counsel.In explaining the issue, Hutchison urged the court to be mindful of a "casualness" associated with birth dates in Afghan and Middle Eastern communities.The issue only came to light when — after being sentenced to life in prison — Hamed's father wanted to transfer property in Afghanistan and asked someone in the country to prepare necessary paperwork, court heard.That person discovered Shafia's original Afghan identity document — known as a "tazkira" — which recorded his birth date as Dec. 31, 1991 — making him a year younger than initially thought, Hutchison told the court.To resolve the discrepancy, a certificate of live birth was obtained from an Afghan ministry, which turned out to have the same date, and the Afghan government also issued a document confirming the tazkira, Hutchison said.The three documents together are key evidence, Hutchison said."There would be a temptation for some to think of this as a technicality," he said. "Age in so far as it relates to young people is not a technicality, it is a principle of fundamental justice....We do not treat young people the same way we treat adults."An adult convicted of first-degree murder faces life without parole for 25 years, while a young offender, when sentenced as an adult, faces a maximum of life without parole for 10 years.If a new trial for Shafia before a youth court could not be obtained, Hutchison asked the panel of judges to order that Shafia be granted a new sentencing hearing under the YCJA, or order that he should have his sentence reduced.Crown lawyers argued, however, that the documents at the heart of Hamed's new claim were entirely unreliable.Even if the appeal court accepted the questionable documents, they argued, that ought not to change the outcome of Hamed's trial."You can admit this evidence and it doesn't undermine the factual underpinning of the verdict one iota," said Crown lawyer Gillian Roberts. "Greater emphasis should be placed on protecting the integrity of the criminal justice system."
Company discriminated against B.C. Christian university graduate: tribunal-[The Canadian Press]-Laura Kane, The Canadian Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
VANCOUVER - A graduate of a Christian university has been awarded $8,500 by a British Columbia human-rights tribunal that found a company refused to hire her in part because of her religion.Bethany Paquette applied in September 2014 for an assistant guide position with Amaruk Wilderness Corp., which says it is headquartered in Norway and operates an office in Vancouver.The tribunal says the graduate of Trinity Western University received an emailed response from wilderness guide Olaf Amundsen, who informed her she was not qualified.“Unlike Trinity Western University, we embrace diversity, and the right of people to sleep with or marry whoever they want, and this is reflected within some of our staff and management,” he wrote.“In addition, the Norse background of most of the guys at the management level means that we are not a Christian organization, and most of us actually see Christianity as having destroyed our culture, tradition, and way of life.”The university’s plans to open a law school in Langley, B.C., have drawn national criticism of its so-called community covenant that forbids sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman.Paquette replied to Amundsen’s email with a lengthy defence of Trinity Western’s ban on sex outside of marriage.Amundsen responded that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, but Trinity Western has engaged in discrimination by asking students to refrain from same-sex relationships.“This is nothing new: people who did not agree with your church would be flayed, burnt, roasted, quartered, etc … so you guys have a long history of intolerance.”Shortly after, Paquette filed a complaint against Amaruk and company director Christopher Fragassi-Bjornsen with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.Its decision says Fragassi-Bjornsen walked out of the tribunal hearing in November 2015 after he was denied requests to be asked questions in French and to have a security detail. The hearing proceeded without the respondents or their lawyer, James Macdonnell.“While leaving, Mr. Fragassi-Bjornsen advised that the respondents would not honour any monetary award which the tribunal might make in favour of the complainant,” says a written decision released Wednesday.The decision says a written response was filed to the complaint. In it, the respondents say Paquette did not meet the minimum requirements of the position and they “specifically” deny that her employment application was rejected because she was involved with Trinity Western.Amaruk and Macdonnell could not be reached for comment.In the decision, tribunal member Norman Trerise says religious discrimination was a factor in the company’s rejection of Paquette’s employment application, and that the emails sent by staff were “egregious” religious harassment.He ordered the company to pay her $8,500 for injury to her dignity and self-respect, as well as $661.08 to reimburse various expenses. He also ordered the company to stop discriminatory practices.However, Trerise also found Paquette was not qualified for the position and declined to award her lost wages.Paquette’s lawyer, Geoffrey Trotter, said in a statement the decision “is a victory for Bethany and for equal treatment for everyone, regardless of their beliefs or background.”— Follow @ellekane on Twitter.
EU mulls 'large-scale' migrant deportation scheme-[The Canadian Press]-Nicholas Paphitis And Derek Gatopoulos, The Associated Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
ATHENS, Greece - Turkey is under growing pressure to consider a major escalation in migrant deportations from Greece, a top European Union official said Thursday, amid preparations for a highly anticipated summit of EU and Turkish leaders next week.European Council President Donald Tusk ended a six-nation tour of migration crisis countries in Turkey, where 850,000 migrants and refugees left last year for Greek islands."We agree that the refugee flows still remain far too high," Tusk said after meeting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu."To many in Europe, the most promising method seems to be a fast and large-scale mechanism to ship back irregular migrants arriving in Greece. It would effectively break the business model of the smugglers."Tusk was careful to single out illegal economic migrants for possible deportation, not asylum-seekers. And he wasn't clear who would actually carry out the expulsions: Greece itself, EU border agency Frontex or even other organizations like NATO.Greek officials said Thursday that nearly 32,000 migrants were stranded in the country following a decision by Austria and four ex-Yugolsav countries to drastically reduce the number of transiting migrants."We consider the (Macedonian) border to be closed ... Letting 80 through a day is not significant," Migration Minister Ioannis Mouzals said.He said the army had built 10,000 additional places at temporary shelters since the border closures, with work underway on a further 15,000.But a top U.N. official on migration warned that number of people stranded in Greece could quickly double.Peter Sutherland said the "inevitable consequence" of closed borders throughout the Balkans "is that Greece increasingly becomes a camp for refugees and migrants."About a third of migrants trapped in Greece are at the village of Idomeni, on the border with Macedonia. Dwellers at a sprawling camp there hold out hope for crossing in increasingly difficult conditions.Greek police said 130 people were allowed to cross the border Thursday.Migrants said Macedonia didn't accept computer-generated stamps issued by the Greek police, and therefore they couldn't prove their identity documents were genuine.Adnan Abdallah from Syria had waited to cross from Greece to Macedonia for three days, but when he finally was let through, he was turned back because the stamp on his refugee document is computer-generated."They say here (in Greece) everything is OK, but on the other side this is not acceptable," he told The Associated Press.The EU is struggling to hold its members to plans for a Europe-wide solution in dealing with the mass migration.Hungary has already called a referendum on EU plans for a mandatory quota system for settling migrants, and says it's was considering action to bolster its border fences with additional police and military personnel, and extending the fence to the Romanian frontier.Earlier Thursday, Tusk told officials in Athens that Europe had little chance of resolving the crisis without full respect of controls on the external borders of Europe's passport-free Schengen area — signalling pressure on Athens to do more to separate economic migrants from those fleeing war in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere.He also had a direct message for them."I want to appeal to all potential illegal economic migrants, wherever you are from: Do not come to Europe," Tusk said."Do not risk your lives and your money. It is all for nothing. Greece, or any other European country, will no longer be a transit country."___Elena Becatoros in Idomeni, Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey, Raf Casert in Brussels, Jamie Keaten in Geneva, Switzerland, and Pablo Gorondi in Budapest, Hungary contributed.
Spanish police seize 20,000 military uniforms bound for jihadists-AFP-MAR 3,16-YAHOONEWS
Madrid (AFP) - Spanish police said Thursday they have seized about 20,000 military uniforms, "enough to equip an entire army", which were destined for jihadist groups operating in Syria and Iraq.The uniforms were found in three shipping containers seized in the eastern ports of Valencia and Alicante last month when police uncovered an operation to smuggle arms to jihadists under the guise of humanitarian aid, police said in a statement.Seven people were arrested at the time as part of a probe launched in 2014 into "foreign structures" providing logistical support for both Islamic State and the Al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria."The containers which carried the military uniforms were declared as 'second hand clothes' so as to not raise suspicions and be able to pass different customs inspections without any difficulty," the police statement said."With the roughly 20,000 military uniforms and accessories, it would have been possible to equip an entire army which would be ready to enter into combat in any of the battlegrounds which jihadist terrorist organisations have round the world," it added.One of the firms run by the suspects who were detained last month was dedicated to importing used clothes.One of those arrested was a man who dispatched "military material, money, electronic and transmission material, firearms and precursors for making explosives" to Syria and Iraq via a company, police said at the time.This was shipped out in closed containers under the guise of humanitarian aid, and financed by "hawala," an informal system of payment based on trust that is far more difficult to trace than bank transfers.The leader of the network was in "constant" contact with a member of the Islamic State, who repeatedly asked him to recruit women in order to marry them off to IS jihadists in Syria, police said last month .

North Korea says its readying nukes-[The Canadian Press]-Hyung-Jin Kim, The Associated Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered his country's nuclear weapons made ready for use at a moment's notice, the official state news agency reported Friday.Kim also said his country will ready its military so it is prepared to carry out pre-emptive attacks, calling the current situation very precarious, according to KCNA.On Thursday, North Korea fired six short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast, South Korean officials said, just hours after the U.N. Security Council approved the toughest sanctions on the North in two decades for its recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch.The firings also came shortly after South Korea's National Assembly passed its first legislation on human rights in North Korea.The North Korean projectiles, fired from the eastern coastal town of Wonsan, flew about 100 to 150 kilometres (60 to 90 miles) before landing in the sea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.It wasn't immediately known exactly what North Korea fired, and the projectiles could be missiles, artillery or rockets, South Korea's Defence Ministry said.North Korea routinely test-fires missiles and rockets, but often conducts weapons launches when angered at international condemnation.Thursday's firings were seen as a "low-level" response to the U.N. sanctions, with North Korea unlikely to launch any major provocation until its landmark ruling Workers' Party convention in May, according to Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.North Korea has not issued an official reaction to the new U.N. sanctions. But citizens in its capital, Pyongyang, interviewed by The Associated Press said Thursday they believe their country can fight off any sanctions."No kind of sanctions will ever work on us, because we've lived under U.S. sanctions for more than half a century," said Pyongyang resident Song Hyo Il. "And in the future, we're going to build a powerful and prosperous country here, relying on our own development."North Korean state media earlier warned that the imposition of new sanctions would be a "grave provocation" that shows "extreme" U.S. hostility against the country. It said the sanctions would not result in the country's collapse or prevent it from launching more rockets.The U.N. sanctions include mandatory inspections of cargo leaving and entering North Korea by land, sea or air; a ban on all sales or transfers of small arms and light weapons to the North; and the expulsion of North Korean diplomats who engage in "illicit activities."In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China, North Korea's closest ally, hoped the U.N. sanctions would be implemented "comprehensively and seriously," while harm to ordinary North Korean citizens would be avoided.At the United Nations, Russia's ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, asked about the North's firing of short-range projectiles, said, "It means that they're not drawing the proper conclusions yet."Japan's U.N. ambassador, Motohide Yoshikawa, said, "That's their way of reacting to what we have decided.""They may do something more," Yoshikawa said. "So we will see."In January, North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test, which it claimed was a hydrogen bomb. Last month, it put a satellite into orbit with a long-range rocket that the United Nations and others saw as a cover for a test of banned ballistic missile technology.Just before the U.N. sanctions were unanimously adopted, South Korea's National Assembly passed a bill that would establish a centre tasked with collecting, archiving and publishing information about human rights in North Korea. It is required to transfer that information to the Justice Ministry, a step parliamentary officials say would provide legal grounds to punish rights violators in North Korea when the two Koreas eventually reunify.North Korea, which views any criticism of its rights situation as part of a U.S.-led plot to overthrow its government, had warned that enactment of the law would result in "miserable ruin."In 2014, a U.N. commission of inquiry on North Korea published a report laying out abuses such as a harsh system of political prison camps holding up to 120,000 people. The commission urged the Security Council to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court over its human rights record.___Associated Press writers Kim Tong-hyung in Seoul, Christopher Bodeen in Beijing and Edith Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.
North Korea fires projectiles after new U.N. sanctions-Reuters By Jack Kim-MAR 3,16-YAHOONEWS
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired several short-range projectiles into the sea on Thursday, hours after the U.N. Security Council voted to impose tough new sanctions on the isolated state and the South Korean president vowed to end Pyongyang's "tyranny."The firing escalated tensions on the Korean peninsula, which have been high since North Korea recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, and set the South's military on a heightened alert.South Korea's Defence Ministry said it was trying to determine if the projectiles, launched at 10 a.m. (0100 GMT) from the North's east coast, were short-range missiles or artillery fire.The firing came after the U.N. Security Council passed a unanimous resolution on Wednesday dramatically expanding sanctions on North Korea following its fourth nuclear test on Jan. 6 and a long-range rocket launch on Feb. 7.Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said North Korea's action showed it had not taken the proper lesson from the latest round of sanctions.A spokesman for the U.S. State Department said Pyongyang should "refrain from provocative actions that aggravate tensions and instead focus on fulfilling its international obligations," while a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said China hoped all parties could refrain from actions that escalate tension.Japan's U.N. ambassador, Motohide Yoshikawa, said the firing was North Korea's reaction to the latest sanctions and, "They may do something more."South Korean President Park Geun-hye welcomed the tougher Security Council sanctions and repeated a call for North Korea to change its behaviour."We will cooperate with the world to make the North Korean regime abandon its reckless nuclear development and end tyranny that oppresses freedom and human rights of our brethren in the North," Park said at a Christian prayer meeting.Park has been tough in her response to the North's recent actions, moving from her earlier self-described "trustpolitik."Last month, Seoul suspended the operation of a jointly run factory project with North Korea that had been the rivals' last remaining venue for regular interaction.On Thursday, South Korea adopted a long-delayed security law to set up an anti-espionage unit and another law aimed at improving human rights in North Korea.In its latest barrage of insults against South Korea's leader, North Korea's official media carried a commentary on Wednesday likening Park to an "ugly female bat," fated to "die in the dreary cave, its body hanging down."(Additional reporting by Jessica Macy Yu in BEIJING David Brunnstrom in WASHINGTON and Michelle Nichols and Louis Charbonneau at the UNITED NATIONS; Editing by Alex Richardson and Bill Trott)
N. Korea fires missiles after UN imposes tough sanctions-AFP By Hwang Sung-Hee, with Carole Landry at the United Nations-MAR 2,16-YAHOONEWS
North Korea fired six short-range projectiles into the sea Thursday in a show of defiance just hours after the United Nations adopted the toughest sanctions to date on Pyongyang over its fourth nuclear test and rocket launch.Limited displays of military firepower have become a routine response by North Korea to international pressure over anything from its nuclear weapons program to its human rights record.South Korea's defence ministry said the six projectiles -- either rockets or guided missiles -- fell into the sea around 100-150 kilometres (60-90 miles) off the North's eastern coast.China's foreign ministry responded by urging all parties to refrain from any actions that might see tensions escalate still further.The launches came after the UN Security Council unanimously passed a resolution late Wednesday imposing new sanctions after seven weeks of arduous negotiations between the United States and China, Pyongyang's sole major ally.- Potential loopholes -All eyes are now on China and Russia to see if they fully enact the sweeping measures.North Korea offered no immediate statement on the sanctions, which break new ground, requiring all countries to inspect cargo destined for and coming from the North, in all airports and sea ports.They also ban or restrict exports of coal, iron and iron ore and other minerals from North Korea, and prohibit the supply of aviation fuel including rocket fuel.But analysts have pointed to several possible loopholes, including interpretations of what constitutes a proper cargo "inspection" and a provision that excludes mineral exports if their revenues are not deemed to be destined for military use.North Korea earns about $1 billion per year in coal exports -- a third of all export revenues -- and about $200 million annually from iron ore sales, US Ambassador Samantha Power told the Security Council.US President Barack Obama welcomed the measures as "a firm, united, and appropriate response" to the January 6 nuclear test and February 7 rocket launch."The international community, speaking with one voice, has sent Pyongyang a simple message: North Korea must abandon these dangerous programs and choose a better path for its people," Obama said.Banking restrictions will be tightened and governments will be required to ban flights of any plane suspected of carrying contraband destined for North Korea."These are among the toughest measures we have agreed against any country in the world, certainly the toughest ever against the DPRK," said British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft, referring to North Korea by its official acronym.A total of 16 individuals and 12 entities were added to a UN sanctions blacklist, including North Korea's NADA space agency and its spy agency.South Korean President Park Geun-Hye said she hoped the "unprecedentedly tough" sanctions would push Pyongyang into finally abandoning its nuclear weapons program.The resolution sends "a strong message from the international community seeking peace on the Korean peninsula," Park said.Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged Pyongyang to refrain from any fresh provocations, while Tokyo's ambassador to the UN, Motohide Yoshikawa, stressed that "the heart of the matter now is implementation" of the sanctions by China, North Korea's largest trading partner, and other countries.- Making sanctions bite -Power also called for a "robust and unyielding" follow-up to ensure the sanctions bite and singled out Russia and China as key players.Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi said the resolution should "be a new starting point and a stepping stone" for renewed talks on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program.Russia echoed that view, with Ambassador Vitaly Churkin saying the resolution is designed to "shut down as much as possible the financing" of North Korea's weapons program to push Pyongyang back to the negotiating table.During the weeks of negotiations, China had been reluctant to endorse harsh sanctions out of concern that too much pressure would trigger the collapse of the pariah regime, creating chaos on its border.Andrea Berger, a Korea specialist at the London-based Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, said China's enforcement of the new sanctions was likely to be piecemeal at best."It is difficult to foresee broad and consistent implementation of the new resolution, especially from players such as China, to create barriers that North Korea cannot find its way around," Berger said.The latest resolution ushered in the fifth set of UN sanctions to hit North Korea since it first tested an atomic device in 2006.
FedEx scam hits Summerside mailboxes-[CBC]-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Summerside police are warning about a new scam making the rounds in the city, with residents receiving letters by post with a fake FedEx letterhead.The letter tells residents they have a package waiting for them that contains $1.5 five million U.S. in connection to a lottery in the United Kingdom. In order to get the package, the letter says, they have to pay a security fee."Of course it's fake, the whole deal, but the point of it is they're trying to get people to send in the security fee," said Sgt. Joe Peters, with Summerside Police Service-Peters says no one has paid the fee locally.He said police checked with FedEx. The company confirmed this was a scam and said it gets about 30 complaints a month about it.Summerside police advise anyone who gets this kind of letter, to give them a call, or contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
CAMPAIGN 2016-Ben Carson criticizes Romney for anti-Trump speech, calls for GOP unity-Michael Walsh-Reporter-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo News, Ben Carson declined to say that he is officially dropping out of the 2016 presidential race.The retired neurosurgeon spoke to Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric Thursday afternoon from his home outside Baltimore about the state of the Republican Party and his political future following disappointing Super Tuesday results.He said he’d make a more definitive announcement Friday when he is scheduled to address the Conservative Political Action Conference.Carson did say he thinks too much attention has been paid to party infighting and not enough to each candidate’s policies.“I want people to start thinking about the real issues that are threatening America right now,” he said. “Those issues are not how big someone’s hands are or how long someone’s nose is.”“If there were a good path forward I would certainly take it, but there isn’t,” Carson said. “And I would say, please look at the policies of each one of the candidates and see which ones really align well with your thinking, and go with the one that is closest to thinking the way that you do.”Several times, Carson refused to endorse anyone for the Republican Party’s nomination but promised to support the primary’s eventual winner. He said he believes in the intellect of the people to choose the right person.“I would support whoever the people have chosen,” he said. “And somehow we must abandon the thinking that there are a bunch of politically elite people who know what’s best.”Earlier Thursday, speaking at the University of Utah, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney laid out the case against current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump — calling him a phony and a fraud.When asked about Romney’s speech, Carson said he wishes that Republicans would stop attacking each other because all that does is hand the election over to the Democrats.“I don’t think it is the proper place for someone who was the former standard bearer to be attacking the leading contender right now in a negative way,” Carson said.Couric pointed out that there is a battle raging for the heart of the Republican Party: between those who feel Trump should be stopped at all costs and those who think he’s winning the nomination fair and square. Carson confirmed that he falls into the latter category.“If you reject the will of the people, you’re going to fracture the party to such a degree that, I don’t care who you put up there, they’re not going to win,” he said.On Wednesday, Carson announced that he would not be participating in Thursday’s Republican debate and does not see a “political path forward” for himself but is still deeply committed to “this grassroots movement on behalf of ‘we the people.’”“Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for president, I remain committed to saving America for future generations. We must not depart from our goals to restore what God and our Founders intended for this exceptional nation,” Carson said in a statement.Carson at the Faith and Family Presidential Forum at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., in February. (Photo: Chris Keane/Reuters)-Couric asked if this statement indicates that Carson will stay on the national stage. He replied that before his political bid he was already a frequent speaker all over the United States and that he will continue to be one.“I’m not going anywhere. Not when we have these kinds of problems facing our future generations,” he said.Last November, Carson sat down with Couric to discuss the controversy surrounding his life story. His inspirational narrative describing his rise from poverty in Detroit to international acclaim as a doctor at Johns Hopkins attracted intense scrutiny following a surge in his poll numbers.“I don’t have any problem with being vetted. That doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I do have a problem when people take things and distort them purposely and tell lies,” Carson told Couric.The remaining Republican presidential candidates — Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and businessman Donald Trump — will participate in Thursday night’s debate hosted by Fox News in Carson’s hometown of Detroit..
VANCOUVER - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada's premiers have agreed that carbon pricing will be part of any national plan to address climate change.He says they will study pricing options that would be adapted to the specific circumstances of each province and territory.The working group is one of four announced by Trudeau in Vancouver on Thursday after a day-long climate-change meeting with first ministers.Trudeau said they are to meet again in the fall when the working groups are to report back."The commitment we made today, with the Vancouver Declaration, shows all first ministers in this country united on carbon pricing mechanisms," he said."The fact that we have consensus on the need to include carbon pricing in our approach to addressing climate change right across the country is a great thing indeed."He added he's happy there's a plan to move forward while respecting regional differences."That is something we have all committed to. Now, the working group that we have put together will dig into the mechanisms that will be most effective and most appropriate for each jurisdiction, recognizing that there are areas that face greater challenges."The federal government has been quietly insisting for weeks that a national carbon price, as promised in the Liberal election platform, will be imposed from above if provinces are unable to agree.The day started with several premiers pushing back against that federal resolve.Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil suggested there was "more than one way to deal with the carbon issue."He said Atlantic Canada's heavy spending on hydro-electric transmission has effectively already built in a carbon price with electricity rates that are the highest in Canada.Yukon Premier Darrell Pasloski said he and his fellow territorial premiers are against imposing additional costs on consumers of fossil fuels in the North.Brad Wall of Saskatchewan came to Vancouver warning against a carbon tax in a fragile Canadian economy, but cleared the air late Wednesday by saying his province would participate "constructively" in any working groups.Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger, who like Wall faces re-election this spring, said there's a common understanding among premiers that action on climate change can and should take many paths."The do-nothing option is not there," he said.It was Trudeau's second meeting with the premiers since he took office in November.

Shafia trial tainted by honour killing expert testimony: lawyers argue-[The Canadian Press]-Diana Mehta, The Canadian Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
TORONTO - A father, mother and son, who were convicted of murdering the couple's three daughters and another family member, have asked Ontario's highest court for new trials, arguing the original one had been tainted by "highly prejudicial" testimony on so-called honour killings.Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya and their son Hamed were convicted in January 2012 of four counts of first-degree murder — killings their trial judge described as being motivated by their "twisted concept of honour."But the trio's lawyers argued Thursday that testimony from a Crown expert on so-called honour killings should not have been allowed and was among several errors made by the trial judge."That type of evidence is flat out prohibited," lawyer Frank Addario told a panel of three appeal court judges. "She should not have been permitted to tell (the jury) how honour killings are typically carried out or read out denunciations on honour killings."The Shafia family was originally from Afghanistan but fled at the outbreak of war in the country and eventually immigrated to Canada.In June 2009, the bodies of Shafia and Yahya's daughters — Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13 — and Shafia's first wife in a polygamous marriage, 52-year-old Rona Amir Mohammad, were found in a car at the bottom of the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ont.The Crown at the trial asserted the murders were committed after the girls "shamed" the family by dating and acting out, and Amir Mohammad was simply disposed of.In making their case, the Crown called Shahzrad Mojab, a professor whose research focuses primarily on violence against women particularly in the Middle East.Mojab's evidence involved "stereotypically reasoning about Afghani Muslims," Addario argued, while her testimony on how honour killings are typically carried out had "zero legal relevance.""Its probative value was outweighed by its prejudicial value," he said. "A Canadian jury is perfectly capable of understanding that men of all ethnicities will sometimes hurt female family members for misguided reasons of honour, without the assistance of expert evidence."Lawyers for Shafia, Yahya and Hamed also argued the trial judge did not properly assess the admissibility of certain hearsay statements made by the four victims before their death, and didn't instruct the jury properly on them.They further argued the trial judge erred by not providing sufficient direction to the jury on the Crown’s theory that Yahya could be found guilty of murder on the basis that her alleged failure to protect her children from her husband made her causally responsible for their deaths.An additional twist to the joint appeal came in an argument made by Hamed's lawyer, who asked the court to admit fresh evidence which he said proves his client was only 17 — a minor — and not 18 and a half at the time of his siblings' deaths."We have evidence that is reasonably capable of belief," Scott Hutchison said as he asked for Hamed to be treated as a youth by the justice system. "In my submission you must give effect to the fresh evidence, set aside the conviction and order a new trial."Hutchison said that at the time of the trial, Hamed didn't know that he could be a year younger than he thought he was and neither did his father or his trial counsel.In explaining the issue, Hutchison urged the court to be mindful of a "casualness" associated with birth dates in Afghan and Middle Eastern communities.The issue only came to light when — after being sentenced to life in prison — Hamed's father wanted to transfer property in Afghanistan and asked someone in the country to prepare necessary paperwork, court heard.That person discovered Shafia's original Afghan identity document — known as a "tazkira" — which recorded his birth date as Dec. 31, 1991 — making him a year younger than initially thought, Hutchison told the court.To resolve the discrepancy, a certificate of live birth was obtained from an Afghan ministry, which turned out to have the same date, and the Afghan government also issued a document confirming the tazkira, Hutchison said.The three documents together are key evidence, Hutchison said."There would be a temptation for some to think of this as a technicality," he said. "Age in so far as it relates to young people is not a technicality, it is a principle of fundamental justice....We do not treat young people the same way we treat adults."An adult convicted of first-degree murder faces life without parole for 25 years, while a young offender, when sentenced as an adult, faces a maximum of life without parole for 10 years.If a new trial for Shafia before a youth court could not be obtained, Hutchison asked the panel of judges to order that Shafia be granted a new sentencing hearing under the YCJA, or order that he should have his sentence reduced.Crown lawyers argued, however, that the documents at the heart of Hamed's new claim were entirely unreliable.Even if the appeal court accepted the questionable documents, they argued, that ought not to change the outcome of Hamed's trial."You can admit this evidence and it doesn't undermine the factual underpinning of the verdict one iota," said Crown lawyer Gillian Roberts. "Greater emphasis should be placed on protecting the integrity of the criminal justice system."
Company discriminated against B.C. Christian university graduate: tribunal-[The Canadian Press]-Laura Kane, The Canadian Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
VANCOUVER - A graduate of a Christian university has been awarded $8,500 by a British Columbia human-rights tribunal that found a company refused to hire her in part because of her religion.Bethany Paquette applied in September 2014 for an assistant guide position with Amaruk Wilderness Corp., which says it is headquartered in Norway and operates an office in Vancouver.The tribunal says the graduate of Trinity Western University received an emailed response from wilderness guide Olaf Amundsen, who informed her she was not qualified.“Unlike Trinity Western University, we embrace diversity, and the right of people to sleep with or marry whoever they want, and this is reflected within some of our staff and management,” he wrote.“In addition, the Norse background of most of the guys at the management level means that we are not a Christian organization, and most of us actually see Christianity as having destroyed our culture, tradition, and way of life.”The university’s plans to open a law school in Langley, B.C., have drawn national criticism of its so-called community covenant that forbids sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman.Paquette replied to Amundsen’s email with a lengthy defence of Trinity Western’s ban on sex outside of marriage.Amundsen responded that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, but Trinity Western has engaged in discrimination by asking students to refrain from same-sex relationships.“This is nothing new: people who did not agree with your church would be flayed, burnt, roasted, quartered, etc … so you guys have a long history of intolerance.”Shortly after, Paquette filed a complaint against Amaruk and company director Christopher Fragassi-Bjornsen with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.Its decision says Fragassi-Bjornsen walked out of the tribunal hearing in November 2015 after he was denied requests to be asked questions in French and to have a security detail. The hearing proceeded without the respondents or their lawyer, James Macdonnell.“While leaving, Mr. Fragassi-Bjornsen advised that the respondents would not honour any monetary award which the tribunal might make in favour of the complainant,” says a written decision released Wednesday.The decision says a written response was filed to the complaint. In it, the respondents say Paquette did not meet the minimum requirements of the position and they “specifically” deny that her employment application was rejected because she was involved with Trinity Western.Amaruk and Macdonnell could not be reached for comment.In the decision, tribunal member Norman Trerise says religious discrimination was a factor in the company’s rejection of Paquette’s employment application, and that the emails sent by staff were “egregious” religious harassment.He ordered the company to pay her $8,500 for injury to her dignity and self-respect, as well as $661.08 to reimburse various expenses. He also ordered the company to stop discriminatory practices.However, Trerise also found Paquette was not qualified for the position and declined to award her lost wages.Paquette’s lawyer, Geoffrey Trotter, said in a statement the decision “is a victory for Bethany and for equal treatment for everyone, regardless of their beliefs or background.”— Follow @ellekane on Twitter.
EU mulls 'large-scale' migrant deportation scheme-[The Canadian Press]-Nicholas Paphitis And Derek Gatopoulos, The Associated Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
ATHENS, Greece - Turkey is under growing pressure to consider a major escalation in migrant deportations from Greece, a top European Union official said Thursday, amid preparations for a highly anticipated summit of EU and Turkish leaders next week.European Council President Donald Tusk ended a six-nation tour of migration crisis countries in Turkey, where 850,000 migrants and refugees left last year for Greek islands."We agree that the refugee flows still remain far too high," Tusk said after meeting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu."To many in Europe, the most promising method seems to be a fast and large-scale mechanism to ship back irregular migrants arriving in Greece. It would effectively break the business model of the smugglers."Tusk was careful to single out illegal economic migrants for possible deportation, not asylum-seekers. And he wasn't clear who would actually carry out the expulsions: Greece itself, EU border agency Frontex or even other organizations like NATO.Greek officials said Thursday that nearly 32,000 migrants were stranded in the country following a decision by Austria and four ex-Yugolsav countries to drastically reduce the number of transiting migrants."We consider the (Macedonian) border to be closed ... Letting 80 through a day is not significant," Migration Minister Ioannis Mouzals said.He said the army had built 10,000 additional places at temporary shelters since the border closures, with work underway on a further 15,000.But a top U.N. official on migration warned that number of people stranded in Greece could quickly double.Peter Sutherland said the "inevitable consequence" of closed borders throughout the Balkans "is that Greece increasingly becomes a camp for refugees and migrants."About a third of migrants trapped in Greece are at the village of Idomeni, on the border with Macedonia. Dwellers at a sprawling camp there hold out hope for crossing in increasingly difficult conditions.Greek police said 130 people were allowed to cross the border Thursday.Migrants said Macedonia didn't accept computer-generated stamps issued by the Greek police, and therefore they couldn't prove their identity documents were genuine.Adnan Abdallah from Syria had waited to cross from Greece to Macedonia for three days, but when he finally was let through, he was turned back because the stamp on his refugee document is computer-generated."They say here (in Greece) everything is OK, but on the other side this is not acceptable," he told The Associated Press.The EU is struggling to hold its members to plans for a Europe-wide solution in dealing with the mass migration.Hungary has already called a referendum on EU plans for a mandatory quota system for settling migrants, and says it's was considering action to bolster its border fences with additional police and military personnel, and extending the fence to the Romanian frontier.Earlier Thursday, Tusk told officials in Athens that Europe had little chance of resolving the crisis without full respect of controls on the external borders of Europe's passport-free Schengen area — signalling pressure on Athens to do more to separate economic migrants from those fleeing war in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere.He also had a direct message for them."I want to appeal to all potential illegal economic migrants, wherever you are from: Do not come to Europe," Tusk said."Do not risk your lives and your money. It is all for nothing. Greece, or any other European country, will no longer be a transit country."___Elena Becatoros in Idomeni, Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey, Raf Casert in Brussels, Jamie Keaten in Geneva, Switzerland, and Pablo Gorondi in Budapest, Hungary contributed.
Spanish police seize 20,000 military uniforms bound for jihadists-AFP-MAR 3,16-YAHOONEWS
Madrid (AFP) - Spanish police said Thursday they have seized about 20,000 military uniforms, "enough to equip an entire army", which were destined for jihadist groups operating in Syria and Iraq.The uniforms were found in three shipping containers seized in the eastern ports of Valencia and Alicante last month when police uncovered an operation to smuggle arms to jihadists under the guise of humanitarian aid, police said in a statement.Seven people were arrested at the time as part of a probe launched in 2014 into "foreign structures" providing logistical support for both Islamic State and the Al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria."The containers which carried the military uniforms were declared as 'second hand clothes' so as to not raise suspicions and be able to pass different customs inspections without any difficulty," the police statement said."With the roughly 20,000 military uniforms and accessories, it would have been possible to equip an entire army which would be ready to enter into combat in any of the battlegrounds which jihadist terrorist organisations have round the world," it added.One of the firms run by the suspects who were detained last month was dedicated to importing used clothes.One of those arrested was a man who dispatched "military material, money, electronic and transmission material, firearms and precursors for making explosives" to Syria and Iraq via a company, police said at the time.This was shipped out in closed containers under the guise of humanitarian aid, and financed by "hawala," an informal system of payment based on trust that is far more difficult to trace than bank transfers.The leader of the network was in "constant" contact with a member of the Islamic State, who repeatedly asked him to recruit women in order to marry them off to IS jihadists in Syria, police said last month .

North Korea says its readying nukes-[The Canadian Press]-Hyung-Jin Kim, The Associated Press-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered his country's nuclear weapons made ready for use at a moment's notice, the official state news agency reported Friday.Kim also said his country will ready its military so it is prepared to carry out pre-emptive attacks, calling the current situation very precarious, according to KCNA.On Thursday, North Korea fired six short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast, South Korean officials said, just hours after the U.N. Security Council approved the toughest sanctions on the North in two decades for its recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch.The firings also came shortly after South Korea's National Assembly passed its first legislation on human rights in North Korea.The North Korean projectiles, fired from the eastern coastal town of Wonsan, flew about 100 to 150 kilometres (60 to 90 miles) before landing in the sea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.It wasn't immediately known exactly what North Korea fired, and the projectiles could be missiles, artillery or rockets, South Korea's Defence Ministry said.North Korea routinely test-fires missiles and rockets, but often conducts weapons launches when angered at international condemnation.Thursday's firings were seen as a "low-level" response to the U.N. sanctions, with North Korea unlikely to launch any major provocation until its landmark ruling Workers' Party convention in May, according to Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.North Korea has not issued an official reaction to the new U.N. sanctions. But citizens in its capital, Pyongyang, interviewed by The Associated Press said Thursday they believe their country can fight off any sanctions."No kind of sanctions will ever work on us, because we've lived under U.S. sanctions for more than half a century," said Pyongyang resident Song Hyo Il. "And in the future, we're going to build a powerful and prosperous country here, relying on our own development."North Korean state media earlier warned that the imposition of new sanctions would be a "grave provocation" that shows "extreme" U.S. hostility against the country. It said the sanctions would not result in the country's collapse or prevent it from launching more rockets.The U.N. sanctions include mandatory inspections of cargo leaving and entering North Korea by land, sea or air; a ban on all sales or transfers of small arms and light weapons to the North; and the expulsion of North Korean diplomats who engage in "illicit activities."In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China, North Korea's closest ally, hoped the U.N. sanctions would be implemented "comprehensively and seriously," while harm to ordinary North Korean citizens would be avoided.At the United Nations, Russia's ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, asked about the North's firing of short-range projectiles, said, "It means that they're not drawing the proper conclusions yet."Japan's U.N. ambassador, Motohide Yoshikawa, said, "That's their way of reacting to what we have decided.""They may do something more," Yoshikawa said. "So we will see."In January, North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test, which it claimed was a hydrogen bomb. Last month, it put a satellite into orbit with a long-range rocket that the United Nations and others saw as a cover for a test of banned ballistic missile technology.Just before the U.N. sanctions were unanimously adopted, South Korea's National Assembly passed a bill that would establish a centre tasked with collecting, archiving and publishing information about human rights in North Korea. It is required to transfer that information to the Justice Ministry, a step parliamentary officials say would provide legal grounds to punish rights violators in North Korea when the two Koreas eventually reunify.North Korea, which views any criticism of its rights situation as part of a U.S.-led plot to overthrow its government, had warned that enactment of the law would result in "miserable ruin."In 2014, a U.N. commission of inquiry on North Korea published a report laying out abuses such as a harsh system of political prison camps holding up to 120,000 people. The commission urged the Security Council to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court over its human rights record.___Associated Press writers Kim Tong-hyung in Seoul, Christopher Bodeen in Beijing and Edith Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.
North Korea fires projectiles after new U.N. sanctions-Reuters By Jack Kim-MAR 3,16-YAHOONEWS
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired several short-range projectiles into the sea on Thursday, hours after the U.N. Security Council voted to impose tough new sanctions on the isolated state and the South Korean president vowed to end Pyongyang's "tyranny."The firing escalated tensions on the Korean peninsula, which have been high since North Korea recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, and set the South's military on a heightened alert.South Korea's Defence Ministry said it was trying to determine if the projectiles, launched at 10 a.m. (0100 GMT) from the North's east coast, were short-range missiles or artillery fire.The firing came after the U.N. Security Council passed a unanimous resolution on Wednesday dramatically expanding sanctions on North Korea following its fourth nuclear test on Jan. 6 and a long-range rocket launch on Feb. 7.Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said North Korea's action showed it had not taken the proper lesson from the latest round of sanctions.A spokesman for the U.S. State Department said Pyongyang should "refrain from provocative actions that aggravate tensions and instead focus on fulfilling its international obligations," while a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said China hoped all parties could refrain from actions that escalate tension.Japan's U.N. ambassador, Motohide Yoshikawa, said the firing was North Korea's reaction to the latest sanctions and, "They may do something more."South Korean President Park Geun-hye welcomed the tougher Security Council sanctions and repeated a call for North Korea to change its behaviour."We will cooperate with the world to make the North Korean regime abandon its reckless nuclear development and end tyranny that oppresses freedom and human rights of our brethren in the North," Park said at a Christian prayer meeting.Park has been tough in her response to the North's recent actions, moving from her earlier self-described "trustpolitik."Last month, Seoul suspended the operation of a jointly run factory project with North Korea that had been the rivals' last remaining venue for regular interaction.On Thursday, South Korea adopted a long-delayed security law to set up an anti-espionage unit and another law aimed at improving human rights in North Korea.In its latest barrage of insults against South Korea's leader, North Korea's official media carried a commentary on Wednesday likening Park to an "ugly female bat," fated to "die in the dreary cave, its body hanging down."(Additional reporting by Jessica Macy Yu in BEIJING David Brunnstrom in WASHINGTON and Michelle Nichols and Louis Charbonneau at the UNITED NATIONS; Editing by Alex Richardson and Bill Trott)

North Korea fired six short-range projectiles into the sea Thursday in a show of defiance just hours after the United Nations adopted the toughest sanctions to date on Pyongyang over its fourth nuclear test and rocket launch.Limited displays of military firepower have become a routine response by North Korea to international pressure over anything from its nuclear weapons program to its human rights record.South Korea's defence ministry said the six projectiles -- either rockets or guided missiles -- fell into the sea around 100-150 kilometres (60-90 miles) off the North's eastern coast.China's foreign ministry responded by urging all parties to refrain from any actions that might see tensions escalate still further.The launches came after the UN Security Council unanimously passed a resolution late Wednesday imposing new sanctions after seven weeks of arduous negotiations between the United States and China, Pyongyang's sole major ally.- Potential loopholes -All eyes are now on China and Russia to see if they fully enact the sweeping measures.North Korea offered no immediate statement on the sanctions, which break new ground, requiring all countries to inspect cargo destined for and coming from the North, in all airports and sea ports.They also ban or restrict exports of coal, iron and iron ore and other minerals from North Korea, and prohibit the supply of aviation fuel including rocket fuel.But analysts have pointed to several possible loopholes, including interpretations of what constitutes a proper cargo "inspection" and a provision that excludes mineral exports if their revenues are not deemed to be destined for military use.North Korea earns about $1 billion per year in coal exports -- a third of all export revenues -- and about $200 million annually from iron ore sales, US Ambassador Samantha Power told the Security Council.US President Barack Obama welcomed the measures as "a firm, united, and appropriate response" to the January 6 nuclear test and February 7 rocket launch."The international community, speaking with one voice, has sent Pyongyang a simple message: North Korea must abandon these dangerous programs and choose a better path for its people," Obama said.Banking restrictions will be tightened and governments will be required to ban flights of any plane suspected of carrying contraband destined for North Korea."These are among the toughest measures we have agreed against any country in the world, certainly the toughest ever against the DPRK," said British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft, referring to North Korea by its official acronym.A total of 16 individuals and 12 entities were added to a UN sanctions blacklist, including North Korea's NADA space agency and its spy agency.South Korean President Park Geun-Hye said she hoped the "unprecedentedly tough" sanctions would push Pyongyang into finally abandoning its nuclear weapons program.The resolution sends "a strong message from the international community seeking peace on the Korean peninsula," Park said.Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged Pyongyang to refrain from any fresh provocations, while Tokyo's ambassador to the UN, Motohide Yoshikawa, stressed that "the heart of the matter now is implementation" of the sanctions by China, North Korea's largest trading partner, and other countries.- Making sanctions bite -Power also called for a "robust and unyielding" follow-up to ensure the sanctions bite and singled out Russia and China as key players.Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi said the resolution should "be a new starting point and a stepping stone" for renewed talks on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program.Russia echoed that view, with Ambassador Vitaly Churkin saying the resolution is designed to "shut down as much as possible the financing" of North Korea's weapons program to push Pyongyang back to the negotiating table.During the weeks of negotiations, China had been reluctant to endorse harsh sanctions out of concern that too much pressure would trigger the collapse of the pariah regime, creating chaos on its border.Andrea Berger, a Korea specialist at the London-based Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, said China's enforcement of the new sanctions was likely to be piecemeal at best."It is difficult to foresee broad and consistent implementation of the new resolution, especially from players such as China, to create barriers that North Korea cannot find its way around," Berger said.The latest resolution ushered in the fifth set of UN sanctions to hit North Korea since it first tested an atomic device in 2006.
FedEx scam hits Summerside mailboxes-[CBC]-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Summerside police are warning about a new scam making the rounds in the city, with residents receiving letters by post with a fake FedEx letterhead.The letter tells residents they have a package waiting for them that contains $1.5 five million U.S. in connection to a lottery in the United Kingdom. In order to get the package, the letter says, they have to pay a security fee."Of course it's fake, the whole deal, but the point of it is they're trying to get people to send in the security fee," said Sgt. Joe Peters, with Summerside Police Service-Peters says no one has paid the fee locally.He said police checked with FedEx. The company confirmed this was a scam and said it gets about 30 complaints a month about it.Summerside police advise anyone who gets this kind of letter, to give them a call, or contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
CAMPAIGN 2016-Ben Carson criticizes Romney for anti-Trump speech, calls for GOP unity-Michael Walsh-Reporter-March 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo News, Ben Carson declined to say that he is officially dropping out of the 2016 presidential race.The retired neurosurgeon spoke to Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric Thursday afternoon from his home outside Baltimore about the state of the Republican Party and his political future following disappointing Super Tuesday results.He said he’d make a more definitive announcement Friday when he is scheduled to address the Conservative Political Action Conference.Carson did say he thinks too much attention has been paid to party infighting and not enough to each candidate’s policies.“I want people to start thinking about the real issues that are threatening America right now,” he said. “Those issues are not how big someone’s hands are or how long someone’s nose is.”“If there were a good path forward I would certainly take it, but there isn’t,” Carson said. “And I would say, please look at the policies of each one of the candidates and see which ones really align well with your thinking, and go with the one that is closest to thinking the way that you do.”Several times, Carson refused to endorse anyone for the Republican Party’s nomination but promised to support the primary’s eventual winner. He said he believes in the intellect of the people to choose the right person.“I would support whoever the people have chosen,” he said. “And somehow we must abandon the thinking that there are a bunch of politically elite people who know what’s best.”Earlier Thursday, speaking at the University of Utah, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney laid out the case against current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump — calling him a phony and a fraud.When asked about Romney’s speech, Carson said he wishes that Republicans would stop attacking each other because all that does is hand the election over to the Democrats.“I don’t think it is the proper place for someone who was the former standard bearer to be attacking the leading contender right now in a negative way,” Carson said.Couric pointed out that there is a battle raging for the heart of the Republican Party: between those who feel Trump should be stopped at all costs and those who think he’s winning the nomination fair and square. Carson confirmed that he falls into the latter category.“If you reject the will of the people, you’re going to fracture the party to such a degree that, I don’t care who you put up there, they’re not going to win,” he said.On Wednesday, Carson announced that he would not be participating in Thursday’s Republican debate and does not see a “political path forward” for himself but is still deeply committed to “this grassroots movement on behalf of ‘we the people.’”“Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for president, I remain committed to saving America for future generations. We must not depart from our goals to restore what God and our Founders intended for this exceptional nation,” Carson said in a statement.Carson at the Faith and Family Presidential Forum at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., in February. (Photo: Chris Keane/Reuters)-Couric asked if this statement indicates that Carson will stay on the national stage. He replied that before his political bid he was already a frequent speaker all over the United States and that he will continue to be one.“I’m not going anywhere. Not when we have these kinds of problems facing our future generations,” he said.Last November, Carson sat down with Couric to discuss the controversy surrounding his life story. His inspirational narrative describing his rise from poverty in Detroit to international acclaim as a doctor at Johns Hopkins attracted intense scrutiny following a surge in his poll numbers.“I don’t have any problem with being vetted. That doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I do have a problem when people take things and distort them purposely and tell lies,” Carson told Couric.The remaining Republican presidential candidates — Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and businessman Donald Trump — will participate in Thursday night’s debate hosted by Fox News in Carson’s hometown of Detroit..
