Netanyahu says willing to discuss Arab initiative for peace with Palestinians-[Reuters]-By Ori Lewis-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held out the prospect on Monday of reviving a 2002 Arab peace initiative that offers Israel diplomatic recognition from Arab countries in return for a statehood deal with the Palestinians.Netanyahu's comments were a formal response to a speech last week by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who promised Israel warmer ties if it accepted efforts to resume peace talks."The Arab peace initiative includes positive elements that can help revive constructive negotiations with the Palestinians," Netanyahu said, echoing comments he made a year ago to Israeli reporters."We are willing to negotiate with the Arab states revisions to that initiative so that it reflects the dramatic changes in the region since 2002 but maintains the agreed goal of two states for two peoples," he added.His comments were made also in English in a speech that was mostly in Hebrew - a device Netanyahu often uses when he wants to make a statement to the international community.Netanyahu spoke moments after ultra nationalist Avigdor Lieberman was sworn in as Israel's new defense minister and Israel's fragile right-wing coalition gained vital support in parliament.Lieberman concurred and Netanyahu appeared to indicate that the new far-right defense minister's inclusion in the government did not spell an end to peace efforts with the Palestinians.The original Arab plan offered full recognition of Israel but only if it gave up all land seized in the 1967 Middle East war and agreed to a "just solution" for Palestinian refugees.But in 2013, after the initiative's terms were softened to include possible land swaps between Israel and the Palestinians, Netanyahu signaled a readiness to consider it.Previous attempts to engage the adversaries have come to nought. The Palestinians say Israeli settlement expansion denies them a viable state they seek in the occupied West Bank, the Gaza Strip and a capital in Arab East Jerusalem.Israel has demanded tighter security measures from the Palestinians and a crackdown on militants who have attacked or threaten the safety of Israeli citizens.In the last half year, Palestinian attacks have killed 28 Israelis and two visiting U.S. citizens. Israeli forces have shot dead at least 195 Palestinians, 134 of whom Israel has said were assailants. Others were killed in clashes and protests.France is set to host a peace conference of to revive peace efforts on June 3 with the participation of ministers from the Middle East Quartet - the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations - the Arab League, the U.N. Security Council and about 20 countries.Neither Israel, which has opposed the gathering, nor the Palestinians, who have welcomed it, have been invited.(Additional reporting by Jeffrey Heller, writing by Ori Lewis)

With fanfare, Avigdor Liberman enters Defense Ministry-After ceremony at military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Yisrael Beytenu boss set to meet IDF chiefs for first security overview-By Times of Israel staff May 31, 2016, 1:36 pm

Avigdor Liberman defied his critics and officially entered office as defense minister on Tuesday in a ceremony at the Defense Ministry’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv.He was due immediately after the ceremony to meet with IDF Chief of General Staff Gadi Eisenkot and other senior military figures for an initial security overview.Liberman, head of the Yisrael Beytenu party, was sworn in Monday after a Knesset vote approved his appointment.Of the 99 lawmakers present in the plenum, 55 voted in favor of Liberman’s appointment and 43 against, with veteran Likud MK Benny Begin breaking party lines to abstain.Begin on Tuesday hit out at “stupid” members of the right who expressed satisfaction at the resignation of defense minister Moshe Ya’alon and his replacement with Liberman.Speaking to Army Radio, he warned that, based on statements Liberman made while sitting in the opposition, he expected the defense minister to seek policies that are “not considerate, not careful, not responsible, and not moderate.”Monday’s Knesset vote came hours after the cabinet unanimously gave the go-ahead for the appointment as part of a deal to bring Liberman’s party into the coalition.The addition of Yisrael Beytenu gives the governing coalition 66 of the 120-seat Knesset, bolstering its previously paper-thin majority of 61.Following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to appoint Liberman, Ya’alon, a respected former IDF chief, announced that he would be resigning from the Knesset and temporarily retiring from politics.Politicians and pundits reacted with unease and disdain when the decision to appoint Liberman was first announced nearly two weeks ago, warning that giving the Defense Ministry to the firebrand politician was a dangerous move.Liberman, who served as foreign minister before moving to the opposition after elections last year, lacks military experience, usually a prerequisite for Israeli defense ministers, but is outspoken on defense matters.He famously split with Netanyahu, then a partner in a Knesset faction encompassing both Likud and Yisrael Beytenu, on how to manage the 2014 Gaza war and has been outspoken in demanding the death penalty in terrorism cases, to the extent that he made it a prerequisite for his joining the coalition after the elections last March. He later dropped the demand.In a possible effort to assuage concerns over his past rhetoric, Liberman touted his pro-peace credentials in a Knesset address after Monday’s vote, hailing a recent speech by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi urging Israelis and Palestinians to return to talks as “a real opportunity.”

French Jews flee Paris suburbs over rising anti-Semitism-[AFP]-Pauline Froissart and Benoît Fauchet-May 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Le Raincy (France) (AFP) - When Alain Benhamou walked into his apartment near Paris in July 2015 and saw the words "dirty Jew" scrawled on the wall, he knew it was time to leave.It was his second such break-in in less than three months and the 71-year-old no longer felt welcome in Bondy, a Parisian suburb he had called home for more than 40 years."Until the years 2000-2005, the town was nice and quiet, with 250 to 300 Jewish families and synagogues full on the Sabbath," Benhamou says."Now, only about a hundred Jewish families remain."Benhamou is part of a growing number of French Jews who have effectively become internal refugees, fleeing insecurity and seeking protection in numbers in an atmosphere they say is increasingly hostile, and often expressed in relation to conflict in the Middle East.He moved a few miles south to Villemomble, where there is a larger and more established Jewish community.But others have fled France altogether.A record 8,000 or so French Jews moved to Israel in 2015 alone, according to Israeli figures, in the year that a jihadist gunman linked to the Charlie Hebdo newspaper attackers killed four Jews in a kosher supermarket.France has the largest Jewish population in Europe, estimated at 500,000 to 600,000 people.Half of them live in the Paris region but their numbers have declined steadily over the past 15 years, researchers say.Jerome Fourquet of polling firm IFOP says the change started around 2000 following a fresh surge of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, known as the second intifada.With France also home to Europe's largest Muslim community, which counts around five million members, the bloodshed in the Middle East unleashed a wave of unrest, particularly in the Paris region which saw a surge in anti-Semitic acts and threats, he says.- A disappearing community -Benhamou still lives within the sprawling Seine-Saint-Denis department that sits northeast of the capital and combines run-down immigrant ghettos with trendy new gentrified business districts.In the last 15 years, it has gone from being one of France's most densely-populated Jewish areas to what the community now considers "one of the lost territories of the Republic"."The Jewish community is expected to disappear from here," Benhamou says.In nearby Raincy, Rabbi Moshe Lewin shares Benhamou's pessimism, fearing he could be one of the last Jewish leaders in Seine-Saint-Denis."What upsets me is that in some areas of France, Jews can no longer live peacefully, and that just five minutes from my home, some are forced to hide their kippas (skullcaps) or their Star of David," he admits.Even areas with a strong Jewish population, such as Sarcelles to the north, still have major problems.Francois Pupponi, the Socialist mayor of Sarcelles, says many Jewish residents come to him for help with stories of being assaulted or having swastikas daubed on walls outside their homes.Some have been caught in "extremely violent situations" that in some cases required families to be "urgently rehoused", says Pupponi.He became aware of "a phenomenon of internal migration" about five or six years ago, which he says "is getting worse".- 'Little Jerusalem' -Nonetheless, Jews from elsewhere still see Sarcelles as a relative haven. New arrivals now find "a much stronger police and institutional presence" than before and "they can live out their Judaism here in safety," says Pupponi.Among the newcomers is Eva Sandler, the widow of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler who was killed in an Islamist shooting attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse in 2012.Other areas have also seen an influx of new arrivals.Many say the heart of the Jewish community is no longer Sarcelles but in Paris' western 17th district which has now taken over the moniker of "Little Jerusalem".Now in his 60s, Robert moved there a decade ago with the northwestern neighbourhood's Jewish population reflected in the wealth of eateries selling kosher foods, from specialised sweet shops to sushi bars."Because anti-Semitism is growing, we try and stick together to avoid it," admits Robert, who did not want to give his surname.Community group the Consistoire Israelite has taken note of the shift in centre of gravity and is currently building a Centre for European Judaism in the neighbourhood which is slated to open next year.- 'Becoming less visible' -But across the city in the eastern neighbourhood of Saint-Mande, the wind appears to have changed.Formerly known for its large Jewish community with two synagogues and a community day care centre, the district has been badly hit by the deadly hostage-taking at the kosher supermarket in January 2015."There were about 12 or 13 Sainte-Mande residents among (the hostages)," recalls local mayor Patrick Beaudouin."It had a huge psychological impact."He said dozens of families had since left the area, deciding it was best "to spread out, to be less visible".For now, most French Jews have preferred to cluster in towns and neighbourhoods where they know a large Jewish community already exists.But that decision to flock together brings about its own problems."We are creating ghettos," Pupponi says. "We are aware of that."The solution, he says, would be "to achieve social and ethnic integration in all neighbourhoods.""But France has been trying to achieve this for the past 30 years and it still hasn't happened."

North Korea missile launch failed, says South Korean military-[AFP]-Jung Ha-Won-May 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

North Korea apparently failed with an attempted missile launch Tuesday, the latest in a series of setbacks for a ballistic weapons programme that aspires to threaten the US mainland.South Korea's defence ministry detected the dawn launch effort, which Japan condemned as an unacceptable and "provocative" act.The ministry declined to speculate on the missile type, but military sources cited by local media said it was a powerful, medium-range "Musudan" that has already undergone three failed launches this year.UN resolutions ban North Korea from any use of ballistic missile technology, although it regularly fires short-range missiles into the sea off its east coast.Tuesday's effort came with tensions still running high on the divided Korean peninsula following the North's fourth nuclear test in January and long-range rocket launch a month later."We believe that it was a failure," said Jeon Ha-Gyu, spokesman for the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff-"As to why and how it failed, we are in the process of analysing that," Jeon told a press briefing."We are maintaining a strong defence posture with potential further provocations by the North in mind," he added.In April the North failed three times to test-fire a Musudan, which has an estimated range of anywhere between 2,500 and 4,000 kilometres (1,550 to 2,500 miles).The lower range covers the whole of South Korea and Japan, while the upper range would include US military bases on Guam."North Korea's repeated ballistic missile launches are serious, provocative acts against the international community, including Japan," Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida told a regular press briefing."We absolutely cannot accept this," Kishida said.First unveiled as an indigenous missile at a military parade in Pyongyang in October 2010, the Musudan has never been successfully flight-tested.The three failures in April were seen as an embarrassment for the Pyongyang leadership, coming ahead of a rare ruling party congress in May that was meant to celebrate the country's achievements.South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted official sources as saying Tuesday's missile may have exploded on its mobile launcher.- Dialogue offer -"The explosion is presumed to have inflicted serious injuries on personnel in the immediate vicinity," Yonhap said.During the party congress, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un personally extended an offer of military dialogue with the South aimed at easing tensions.The proposal was repeated several times by the North's military, but Seoul dismissed all the overtures as insincere "posturing" given Kim's vow at the same congress to push ahead with the country's nuclear weapons programme.Following Tuesday's attempted missile test, the South Korean Foreign Ministry said Pyongyang was wilfully defying the warnings of the international community."North Korea will face even stronger sanctions and isolation if it doesn't end its provocations," spokesman Cho June-Hyuck told reporters."The government will review necessary countermeasures through talks with our allies," he added.The UN Security Council imposed its toughest sanctions to date on the North following the January nuclear test.In recent months, North Korea has claimed a series of technical breakthroughs in developing what it sees as the ultimate goal of its nuclear weapons programme -- an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to targets across the continental United States.The claimed achievements included miniaturising a nuclear warhead to fit on a missile, developing a warhead that can withstand atmospheric re-entry and building a solid-fuel missile engine.The North also hailed the successful test of an engine specifically designed for an ICBM that would "guarantee" an eventual nuclear strike on the US mainland.Outside experts have treated a number of the claims with scepticism, while acknowledging that the North has made significant strides in upgrading its nuclear arsenal.

Good morning, North Korea! Defector preaches dangers of cult worship-[Reuters]-By Ju-min Park-May 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

SEOUL (Reuters) - For an hour each day, Kim Chung-seong, a defector from North Korea and a Christian missionary, takes to the microphone in a small Seoul studio.At 1 a.m., his show, "Hello from Seoul, the Republic of Korea," sends a mix of gospel music and news into North Korea, defying the isolated state's efforts to keep its people in the dark about the world, religion and the truth about its leaders."Brothers and sisters in the North, I hope this time can be a moment of prayer for a miracle that every party member of North Korea at the party congress can meet God, not take a further step into the cult of personality," Kim said.He was referring to the meeting of the North's ruling Workers' Party this month, where young leader Kim Jong Un was unanimously elevated to party chairman."I am desperately praying that North Korea's Kim Jong Un and all administrators under him kneel down in front of God and repent for their sins, leave the path of tormenting their people," Kim, who came to the South in 2004, said in his studio at the Far East Broadcasting Company.North Korea strictly bans access to outside information, but a growing number of North Koreans consume illicit media, including South Korean TV dramas that show the prosperity of life across the heavily fortified border, via contraband USB sticks and DVDs smuggled from China.The impoverished North is still technically at war with rich, democratic South Korea because their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a treaty. It has also been slapped with UN and other sanctions for its nuclear and missile programs.Robert King, U.S. special envoy for North Korean human rights issues, told a Senate panel in October that up to 29 percent of North Koreans had listened to foreign radio and said the medium, including the U.S. government's Voice of America, remained the most important way to get information into the country.-"LISTENING UNDER THE BLANKET"-Kim Myung-jun, professor at Sogang University's school of mass communications in Seoul, said smuggled USB sticks and DVDs were more about entertainment, whereas radio carried news."Once you listen in, you tend to keep listening under the blanket. It gets you addicted," he said. "AM radio stations like Far East Broadcasting Company have pretty good signals and can be listened to clearly in much of North Korea."Kim, the broadcaster, said he tried to delegitimize the three-generation Kim family dictatorship and preach Christian gospel on his show, often with fellow defectors as guests."I am not saying everything is bad in North Korea," said Kim, 39, who has hosted the show for six years."But, for example, if the party congress is meant to worship one particular person and make 20 million people that person's slaves, that is meaningless. That's what I am talking about on my show."North Korea's constitution guarantees freedom of religion provided it does not undermine the state, but outside of a small handful of state-controlled places of worship, no open religious activity is allowed.It is also illegal to own a radio that can be tuned, and the only radio or TV sets permitted are those pre-set to state channels. However, many tune in to foreign shows with smuggled Chinese radios and illegally altered North Korean sets.One weekly guest, defector Ko Ji-eun, said she was a fan of Kim's show while hiding in China for several years.After she arrived in Seoul last year, Ko met a fellow defector who had listened to the show while inside the North last year and has since fled to the South."North Koreans are now using Chinese earphones not to expose themselves to authorities," Ko said. "Many people inside North Korea are listening to this radio a lot."(Editing by Tony Munroe and Nick Macfie)

Cincinnati Zoo director defends killing gorilla to save boy-[The Canadian Press]-Dan Sewell, The Associated Press-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Zoo's director on Monday defended the decision to kill a gorilla to protect a 4-year-old boy who entered its exhibit, noting it's easy to second-guess after the child was recovered safely.The male western lowland gorilla named Harambe was killed Saturday by a special zoo response team that feared for the boy's safety. Video taken by zoo visitors showed the gorilla at times appeared to be protective of the boy but also dragged him through the shallow moat.Director Thane Maynard said the gorilla was agitated and disoriented by the commotion during the 10 minutes after the boy fell. He said the gorilla could crush a coconut in one hand and there was no doubt that the boy's life was in danger."We stand by our decision," he said Monday, reiterating that using a tranquilizer on the 420-pound gorilla could have further threatened the boy because it wouldn't have taken effect immediately.Maynard said an investigation indicates the boy climbed over a 3-foot-tall railing, then walked through an area of bushes about 4 feet deep before plunging some 15 feet into the moat. The boy was treated at a hospital and released that same day.The director said the zoo remains safe for its some 1.6 million annual visitors, but a review is underway for possible improvements.Kim O'Connor, who witnessed the boy's fall, told WLWT-TV that she heard the youngster say he wanted to get in the water with the gorillas. She said the boy's mother was with several other young children and told him no.Anthony Seta, an animal rights activist in Cincinnati, helped organize a vigil Monday just outside the zoo gates. He said the gathering wasn't meant to assess blame but rather to honour Harambe, who turned 17 the day before he was shot."People can shout at the parents and people can shout at the zoo," Seta said. "The fact is that a gorilla that just celebrated his birthday has been killed."In the days since, people have taken to social media to voice their outrage about the killing of a member of an endangered species. A Facebook page called "Justice for Harambe" was created along with online petitions and another page calling for a June 5 protest at the zoo.Maynard said the zoo had received messages of support and condolences from around the world, including from other zoo directors and gorilla experts. A spokesman for Jane Goodall, the famed primatologist, said she had "a private conversation" with Maynard, who said she expressed her sympathy.Maynard said zoo visitors have been leaving flowers at the exhibit and asking how they could support gorilla conservation."This is very emotional and people have expressed different feelings," Maynard said by email. "Not everyone shares the same opinion and that's OK. But we all share the love for animals."The Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, where Harambe spent most of his life, said Monday that its staff was deeply saddened by the gorilla's death.Harambe was sent to Cincinnati less than two years ago in hopes he would eventually breed with females there. Maynard said the zoo has some of Harambe's sperm saved for research and possible future reproductive use.Many social media commenters have criticized the boy's parents and said they should be held accountable. A Cincinnati police spokesman said no charges were being considered. A spokeswoman for the family said Monday they had no plans to comment."I do think there's a degree of responsibility they have to be held to," said Kate Villanueva, a mother of two children from Erlanger, Kentucky, who started the "Justice for Harambe" page and attended Monday's vigil. "You have to be watching your children at all times."Jack Hanna, host of "Jack Hanna's Into the Wild," said the zoo made the right call by shooting the gorilla. Hanna said he saw video of the gorilla jerking the boy through the water and knew what would happen if the animal wasn't killed."I'll bet my life on this, that child would not be here today," Hanna told WBNS-TV.The zoo said that it's the first such spectator breach at Gorilla World since it opened in 1978. The director said expansion plans announced for the exhibit earlier this year would proceed as scheduled.Gorilla World remained closed Monday, but Maynard said it could reopen next weekend.The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released a statement from its primatologist Julia Gallucci saying the zoo should have had better barriers between humans and the gorillas."This tragedy is exactly why PETA urges families to stay away from any facility that displays animals as sideshows for humans to gawk at," Gallucci said.___Follow Dan Sewell at http://www.twitter.com/dansewell-For earlier stories on the gorilla shooting and some of Sewell's other recent stories: http://ift.tt/1lgcja3

Syphilis, gonorrhea cases up among all ages in Canada-[CBC]-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis and resistant gonorrhea have public health officials and staff at Canadian nursing homes and retirement communities taking note.The Public Health Agency of Canada said reported rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis have been steadily rising since the late 1990s.Young Canadians continue to have the highest reported rates of infections, but increasing numbers are occurring among middle-aged and older adults."We have people up until their 80s coming to our clinics," said Jennifer Ronan, public health nurse at Hastings Prince Edward Public Health in Belleville, Ont.Health officials in Alberta are dealing with outbreak levels of gonorrhea and syphilis. Syphilis is on the rise in Manitoba and Ontario reported a 30 per cent increase in the gonorrhea cases from 2013 to 2015, with 5,932 cases last year.Ontario also had 1,055 cases of syphilis in 2015 and 39,022 of chlamydia.At Baycrest, a geriatric residence and health sciences centre in Toronto, occupational therapist Sylvia Davidson sees intimacy as an extension of her work helping clients with daily activities, such as after a hip fracture. "Not being able to return to being intimate with your partner, because there's positioning issues, because I'm concerned about pain, I'm not sure if it's safe, those are the sorts of things that can really hinder the person's full recovery," Davidson said.Some older adults are embracing drugs like Viagra for men and hormone creams to help with lubrication in women, Davidson said.Evelyn Burns-Weinrid is a volunteer at Baycrest who works with Davidson to spread the word about intimacy as older adults live longer, healthier lives."We're aware of everything and sexually transmitted disease, we thought about it. We inquired about it. We were very careful," Burns-Weinrid said of her own relationship.-'I thought the person was OK'-STIs also gained a chance to spread among those who came of age when condoms were considered just for contraception, not HIV, Ronan said.At the sexual health clinic, Ronan said nurses strive to create a warm, caring and lighthearted space for those coming in for testing and treatment. "A lot of times it's I didn't know I could get this or I thought the person was OK. I didn't think we needed to get testing," Ronan said.Davidson and Burns-Weinrid want their clients to be aware of the range of intimacy options and the risks and rewards."They do want relationships, whether it's come about because of divorce or death, both men and women are interested because it's a part of life," Burns-Weinrid said."One of the things that people need to be aware of is, if you do get a sexually transmitted disease, if you already have a compromised immune system, if you have other medical conditions, that could mean that the treatment we would traditionally use that would very quickly address something like a syphilis or a chlamydia infection may not work as well in an older adult."-A healthy fear-But clinical trials and education on STIs among older adults is often lacking, according to a commentary from the Canadian Public Health Association. Richard Schabas, medical officer of health at Hastings and Prince Edward Counties in Belleville, Ont., said his local health unit is clearly seeing an increase in gonorrhea and an increase in chlamydia."STIs as they go up, it's like a rising tide. It's going to raise all the boats. But we shouldn't forget that STIs are first and foremost a problem of young people."Ronan wants those of all ages and sexual preferences to be aware that most people who have sexually transmitted infections don't have symptoms."It's just good habits to get into that if you're in the dating realm and you have different partners and you're having different casual relationships or starting a new relationship, you should get into the good habit of just coming and getting tested to see where you're at," Ronan suggested.Complacency is also a concern now that HIV is more treatable, Schabas said. "Maybe that's removing what in some ways was a healthy fear. It's still a very serious disease, something that you want to avoid and likewise you want to avoid other STIs."

Liberals concede 'risk' of missing Supreme Court's assisted-death deadline-[The Canadian Press]-Kristy Kirkup, The Canadian Press-May 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

OTTAWA - With just one week to go, the federal government acknowledged publicly for the first time Monday that it may not be able to meet the Supreme Court's June 6 deadline for passing a law to govern medically assisted death.Health Minister Jane Philpott said the government now risks missing next week's court-imposed deadline — the first time a Liberal cabinet minister has admitted what to many observers now seems patently obvious.Members of Parliament voted later Monday on an array of amendments to the government's controversial assisted-death bill, known as C-14, though all proposed changes were rejected.The bill cleared report stage by a vote of 192 to 129 and its third and final reading in the Commons is expected on Tuesday."We are at risk of not meeting the June 6 deadline," said Philpott, noting that the bill would establish a clear legislative framework for both patients and their health care providers."Having said that, it is my hope that we can see this piece of legislation put into effect at the very soonest possible date."On Monday, Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin said any public consternation over physician-assisted dying ought not be attributed to a lack of awareness about the issue."The court initiated what was to be a process and Parliament has to play its role in that process," McLachlin said during a question-and-answer session at the University of Calgary. "That's where we are now."In February 2015, the high court recognized the right of consenting adults enduring intolerable physical or mental suffering to end their lives with a doctor's help.The top court suspended its decision for a year to allow for Parliament and provincial legislatures to respond, if they chose, with a bill consistent with the constitutional parameters it set out.In January, the court agreed to allow four additional months to the federal government to produce a new law, but with an exemption for anyone who wished to ask a judge to end his or her life earlier.The result was C-14 — a bill that has touched off a deafening chorus of disappointment from a multitude of constitutional experts, medical professionals and human-rights advocates, including the Canadian Bar Association.According to the legislation, in order to be eligible for a medically assisted death, a person must be someone who is "suffering intolerably" and for whom a natural death is "reasonably foreseeable."They must also be a consenting adult, at least 18 years old, with a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability, and be in "an advanced state of irreversible decline."Critics have noted that not even Kay Carter — the 89-year-old B.C. woman at the centre of the case that gave rise to the Supreme Court decision — would have qualified for an assisted death under the proposed law.It has proven unpopular with the opposition benches, too, and that dissatisfaction was evident again during Monday's question period."Even if this bill is passed ... it will be tied up in legal challenges for years to come," said NDP justice critic Murray Rankin."Costly, exhausting court battles for suffering Canadians who just want to see their legal rights vindicated — why won't this government do the right thing and work with us to get the bill right the first time?"Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said the government has a responsibility to create a legal framework that allows access to doctor-assisted death while striking a balance between personal autonomy and protecting the vulnerable."As legislators, we need to answer the 36 million people that live in this country in terms of putting in place a regime," Wilson-Raybould said."I am confident that this is the best approach for Canada in terms of medical assistance in dying right now and it is the first step."The Liberals argue their bill must be passed in order to avoid a legal "vacuum" after June 6, although experts insist that medical regulators in every province have the guidelines necessary to allow doctors to help suffering patients.The bill has even opened fissures within Liberal ranks.At the party's convention in Winnipeg this weekend, former prime minister Paul Martin and former interim leader Bob Rae stressed it's more important to get the law right than to meet the deadline.Once the bill clears the Commons, it will then need to be approved by the Senate, where a number of senators have questioned its constitutionality, while others have proposed a number of substantive amendments.—Follow @kkirkup on Twitter

Court grants Winnipeg woman with MS doctor-assisted death-[CBC]-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

A Winnipeg woman with multiple sclerosis has been granted a physician-assisted death.The woman, whose identity is under a publication ban and is identified as Patient No. 3, said in documents filed with the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench that she is mentally capable of making a decision about a physician-assisted death and is or will be physically incapable of ending her life without it.The woman is "functionally quadriplegic" and depends on other people for all activities, including feeding, court documents said. She needed a ventilator to assist with breathing and a speech language therapist to help her communicate."Every day my ability to express myself or be who I am is more and more difficult. This has been the hardest part of living with progressive MS," the woman wrote in the documents.The documents state the woman has been thinking about doctor-assisted death for more than two years and has also considered going to Switzerland to fulfil her wish to die. She considered removing her feeding tube in order to starve to death but decided against it, the documents say. In her court affidavit, the woman said she is "completely at peace" with her decision to request a physician-assisted death.In his ruling, Associate Chief Justice Shane Perlmutter said the woman met the criteria for physician-assisted death."[In] a review of Patient No. 3's affidavit it is clear she is enduring suffering that is intolerable to her," Perlmutter said.He mentioned how the patient was losing her sight and hearing, adding that he is "struck by her suffering and how intolerable it is to her."The Supreme Court of Canada overturned a ban on medically assisted suicide in 2015 and gave the federal government until next Monday to come up with a law. Draft legislation for Bill C-14 on medically assisted dying was introduced in April.The woman said in court documents that she could not wait for Parliament to create legislation."I am turning to the courts because I have had enough — I am tired of suffering," she said in the documents.In a statement, the woman's spouse said that even as her health deteriorated, the woman has remained joyful in life."My wife has not made this decision lightly. I completely support her and her wishes to die with dignity," her spouse said in the statement provided to court.The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba has developed standards for physician-assisted death. A patient, over the age of 18, must provide voluntary, informed, and ongoing consent in written form. They also must be assessed by at least two doctors showing their medical condition and decision-making capacity. In Manitoba, physicians are not obliged to carry out the death but they must provide support to patients as long as it is needed. The first Manitoban granted a physician-assisted was in March and a woman with ALS was granted permission in May.

Toronto dispensary coalition calls for pot charges to be dropped after raids-[The Canadian Press]-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

TORONTO - A coalition of marijuana dispensaries say the City of Toronto and its police force made a "major mistake" when they targeted dozens of pot shops and are calling for charges to be dropped against those arrested during the raids last week.The Toronto Dispensaries Coalition says the majority of the shops offer high-quality medical cannabis products to those who need them."The city needs to realize that they have made a major mistake, that they're ruining the lives of people that have families, that have futures," coalition spokesman Adolfo Gonzalez said Monday."What I'm calling for is the dropping of the charges immediately."Last Thursday, police accompanied by city municipal licensing and standards officials carried out search warrants at 43 locations and arrested 90 people, including shop owners and employees.The operation — dubbed Project Claudia — angered some Torontonians, who denounced it as a waste of police resources, while others questioned the timing of the move — just months after the federal government announced it will introduce legislation to legalize and regulate marijuana next spring.Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders rejected the criticism, saying "genuine" health concerns and "significant" community complaints prompted the raids.Gonzalez said most dispensaries in the city operate by the rules of practice established by the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries, which is akin to a governing body."They are operating in the open, they are not in back alleys, they are paying their taxes, their are testing their product," he said of the pot shops that had been raided."We have a track record of knowing what's in our medicine and helping people effectively."For many of those arrested in last week's raids, the police action was highly troubling.Mitchell Cutler, a frontline dispensary worker, said he was had just finished helping an elderly woman who needed a cannabis-infused ointment for her arthritis when police burst in."This was a real shock to me," said Cutler, who was charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking."I think Project Claudia was unnecessary, it was heavy handed."Noelle Watson, a 22-year-old who uses medical marijuana for relief from the pain caused by a cyst on her spine, said police and city officials perhaps don't realize the impact their raid has had."I choose to use local dispensaries because accessing medical marijuana is incredibly difficult," she said, noting that her order for medical cannabis to a licensed producer has yet to be processed.

GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE

GENESIS 1:27-28
27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GENESIS 2:21-24
21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

MATTHEW 19:4-6
4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Ontario university applications to offer ‘another gender identity’: report-[Daily Brew]-Terri Coles-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Starting in 2017, Ontario students will be among the first in Canada to give applying students an option for gender beyond male and female. It’s part of a wider movement at educational institutions to become more inclusive to a variety of gender identities, one expert says.“Universities are taking a variety of different approaches on that issue,” Kristopher Wells, director of programs and services at the University of Alberta’s Institute for Sexual Minority Studies, tells Yahoo Canada News. “It’s certainly emerging as a best practice and conversations are happening, in a bit of a piecemeal fashion.”Students filling out applications through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) for fall 2017 admission will have the option to select “male,” “female,” or “another gender identity,” the Toronto Star reports. The application will also no longer consider gender a mandatory question, as it does now.The OUAC wasn’t immediately available for comment.The change comes ahead of a more permanent one that will roll out in 2018, providing a text box under another gender identity for prospective students who wish to be more specific.And overall universities and other educational institutions are working on ways to make classifications more general, as a reflection of the increasing variety of ways their students identify themselves, Wells says. Part of that could be moving away from gender categories altogether, he says – for example, by making the only option for gender on applications a text box that applicants can fill in themselves.“I think you’d actually be quite surprised by the diversity that would exist,” Wells says. “Just as an example you go to Facebook, where this generation often lives, and there’s 50-plus gender classifications you can choose from.”Because the OUAC handles applications for 20 Ontario universities, the introduction of a third gender option will greatly increase the number of schools in Canada that give applicants a choice beyond male or female.The Ontario change will affect a significant number of students with more than 373,000 people attending full-time undergraduate programs at universities in the province in 2013-14, according to the Council of Ontario Universities. By May of this year more than 580,000 applications were submitted to Ontario university programs, according to the OUAC.But schools in other parts of the country have made their own changes to questions of gender on university applications. University of Alberta students can choose not to disclose their gender in paper applications, beginning with the coming school year. At University of Regina applicants can choose not to specify gender, or can select an option other than “male” or “female” and write in their preferred gender identity.In the United States, several colleges, college systems and applications provide a wider range of gender options for students. The University of California system gives six different options for gender identity on its applications, for example. And the Common Application and the Universal College Application, which can be used for more than 600 schools across the U.S., expanded their gender options for the 2016-17 school year.People expressed support for the province-wide change on Twitter.“Great move forward for the #trans community in Ontario,” tweeted Amy Gaukel.“Great to see successful advocacy from @UWaterloo; recognizing genderqueer, gender nonconforming, and trans students,” tweeted Danielle Pierre.“Removing the gender would make the most sense,” tweeted Andrew G. “What bearing would gender have on a university application anyway?”With the recent introduction of a federal bill expanding rights for trans and gender non-conforming Canadians, more and more institutions will be having these conversations and it’s important that schools be responsive, Wells says.“The reality is that the identities of our students are changing,” Wells says. “We can make this work because it’s about enlarging the space for inclusion, and not shrinking it.”

Feature: A bar as a national monument? New York's LGBT landmark vies for honor-[By Gina Cherelus]-May 31, 2016-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York bar known as the birthplace of the gay pride movement could become the country's first national monument honoring LGBT rights under a plan to be considered by President Barack Obama.The Stonewall Inn in Manhattan's Greenwich Village was the site of a 1969 police raid that touched off riots and ignited a long struggle to bring lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people into the mainstream and guarantee their rights.A year after the Stonewall riots, activists staged the country's first gay rights parade. The event has evolved into LGBT Pride Month, which begins Wednesday, with parades and street parties around the world that draw millions of people of every sexual orientation.To honor that legacy, Obama is being asked to designate the tavern and adjoining Christopher Park as a national monument, the second highest recognition in the U.S. National Park Service. U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, several members of Congress and local and state officials have strongly endorsed the effort.Stonewall is already a National Historic Landmark and both inn and park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.Melissa Sklarz, a transgender rights activist, was among those attending hearings in Manhattan this month to push for the national monument status.“It was great for me to be able to stand up for my part of the community, that LGBT includes trans women and it's important that that voice be heard," she said.-NEW FIGHT FOR LGBT RIGHTS-The proposal has its critics. Some of them say national monuments should honor war heroes or the Founding Fathers, not a symbol of gay rights."A monument to sin?" said Franklin Graham, the Christian evangelist continuing the work of his famous father Billy Graham. "That's unbelievable," he added in a Facebook post this month.The proposal to elevate Stonewall coincides with a contentious national debate over protections for transgender people that is considered the next frontier in the fight for LGBT rights after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage last year.The recent battle between North Carolina lawmakers and the Obama administration over bathroom access for transgender people suggests that equality issues that came to the fore in 1969 are yet to be fully resolved.Back in the 1960s, police raids on gay bars were common. But when officers arrived at the Stonewall Inn, in the early hours of June 28, 1969 to clear the bar and make arrests, patrons decided to resist, according to witnesses. It was a galvanizing event, ultimately destroying the tavern.Now, the reconstructed Stonewall is a low-lit, two-level space decorated inside with wooden floors, high-rise bar stools, mirrored walls and televisions playing music videos from artists like Rihanna and Enrique Iglesias.With its trademark brick exterior, blood-red neon sign and rainbow flags, the tavern continues to attract people from all over the world.For Fred Etree, who at 77 years of age still works as a bartender at Stonewall after nearly 50 years, the memories of the riots are vivid."I was in there dancing with my friends Frank and Charlie when the cops came in and we heard everybody screaming," Etree recalled. “They came in nasty."As patrons were being led outside and loaded into police vans, a crowd of several hundred people gathered in the park across the street. Eventually bottles and other objects were thrown at police and violence erupted. Tactical officers were called in to clear the streets and days of unrest followed.-OBAMA'S LGBT LEGACY-For Obama, the monument designation in his last year in office could solidify his legacy as a defender of LGBT rights.While he started his first term opposed to gay marriage, he came out in favor of it before his re-election in 2012. In the battle over transgender rights, he asked all U.S. public schools this month to allow all students to use the bathroom of their choice, a non-binding directive that conservatives have vowed to resist.His administration has also sued North Carolina, saying limits on bathroom access are a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. But state lawmakers say the law, which limits people to using the bathroom of their gender at birth, protects women and girls from predators. Eleven other states are suing the administration for an overreach of power on the issue.A White House spokeswoman said the president is aware of "the overwhelming support" for the monument proposal from Greenwich Village residents and the LGBT community. But she would not say when he would make a decision or what he is leaning toward doing.Down in the Village, proponents say making the Stonewall a monument would send a powerful message to states opposing transgender rights."I think it's absolutely fabulous," said Etree. "I think it will be very good for our community, that recognition."(Editing by Frank McGurty and Mary Milliken)

It's official, Calgarians will pay $6.50 per month for mandatory composting-[CBC]-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

Curbside composting is coming to your neighbourhood, along with a mandatory fee of $6.50 per month.City council approved the fees for the new green carts, which will be delivered to Calgary homes by the end of 2017, on Monday. The carts will include a small compost bucket that fits under a kitchen sink. Coun. Brian Pincott is thrilled the city is finally ready to take this next step in reducing the amount of material going to its landfills after a successful pilot project."It's important to frame this in the context of, not a fee but in cost avoidance," he said."The liability, the environmental liability that we have in our landfills and specifically and particularly around organics is one of our... it's a huge environmental liability that we have."-Costs and fees-Garbage pickup will be scaled back to every other week once the green carts are in place, with the city arguing there will be much less waste once Calgarians start composting.The green carts will roll out one quadrant at a time, with charges appearing once the bins are in place.Only those residences that already have black and blue bins will receive the new compost carts, meaning larger residential buildings will be excluded.Coun. Andre Chabot asked council to tack on the cost of the program to the property tax bill, rather than individual utility bills."This way, it's clear cut.  The other way, it's a user fee that looks like 'oh it's something separate,' but at the end of the day there's only one taxpayer," he said.The composting facility in southeast Calgary cost $143 million to build and the program will add $24 million to the waste and recycling services budget in 2017, and $30 million in 2018.

Alberta NDP says Wynne affair shows Wildrose trying to scuttle Energy East-[The Canadian Press]-Dean Bennett, The Canadian Press-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

EDMONTON - Alberta's NDP government says the discourteous treatment of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne in the legislature raises concerns the Opposition Wildrose party is trying to scuttle the Energy East pipeline deal for partisan political gain.Government House Leader Brian Mason said while the National Energy Board makes decisions on pipelines, building political bridges with other provinces is critical."Ultimately the decision (on the pipeline) will have to be made by the federal cabinet, and so the position of Ontario and other provinces is an important factor that the federal cabinet will have to weigh," Mason said Monday."There's absolutely no question in my mind that the government of Ontario and the premier of Ontario are key potential allies for our province in getting our product to tidewater."The fact the Wildrose can't see that, and plays games to try and damage the government, means that they're putting their partisan political advantage ahead of the interests of the province as a whole and that is a shame."The Energy East line would take Alberta crude across Canada, including Ontario, to pipelines and refineries in New Brunswick to get a better global price for a key Canadian resource.Wynne has said she would support the line with conditions, including high environmental and safety standards.Wynne came as a guest of the Alberta legislature Thursday. As she sat in the gallery, Wildrose finance critic Derek Fildebrandt labelled Ontario one of the worst debt and spending offenders in the world and urged Notley not to follow the lead of the Ontario government.Fildebrandt also heckled Notley, demanding to know why she had invited Wynne and not Alberta's next-door neighbour, Premier Brad Wall of Saskatchewan.A day later, Wildrose house leader Nathan Cooper said the caucus regretted the tone of the questions, a point reiterated by Jean on Monday."The tone and some of the heckling was inappropriate given that Ms. Wynne was in the audience. We regret that tone and we've come clean to that and we've mentioned that and we've apologized to Ms. Wynne," Jean said.Jean was asked whether the Wildrose still supports Energy East."Absolutely," he replied.Cooper said Friday he didn't believe the Wynne affair hurt Alberta's ability to gain political support for Energy East.Other legislature leaders said regardless of political stripe, all parties need to work in Albertans' best interests."If they (the Wildrose) do want genuinely to build a pipeline east they're not acting in a way that promotes that possibility," said Liberal Leader David Swann."They just shot themselves and Alberta in the foot with these comments."Greg Clark said he doesn't believe the Wildrose is working against the pipeline."Our friends in Wildrose tend to see the world in very political terms. As a result I can see why Brian Mason may think that," said Clark."What I will say is the way they treated Kathleen Wynne on Thursday is not helpful."Progressive Conservative Leader Ric McIver said, "We are here solely to serve Albertans. If any of us can't remember that, maybe we should be somewhere else."Also Monday, Jean announced that Fildebrandt could be back in the Wildrose caucus was early as the next few days but first needs to make some changes to how he communicates on social media.Fildebrandt was suspended by the Wildrose caucus late Friday night after he applauded a reader comment on his Facebook page that mocked Wynne's sexuality.Wynne is openly gay.Fildebrandt has apologized, adding he misread the original comment and is not homophobic.

Philippine military says 54 Muslim rebels killed in south-[The Canadian Press]-The Associated Press-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

MANILA, Philippines - Intense fighting between Philippine troops and a little-known Muslim group apparently inspired by the Islamic State group has killed 54 militants and two soldiers, officials said Monday.Regional military spokesman Maj. Filemon Tan said the operations against the Maute group began last Thursday in southern Lanao del Sur province's Butig town and were still continuing. He said nine soldiers had been wounded in addition to the two who were killed.The military fired artillery and launched air strikes "to get the criminals" behind the beheading last month of two sawmill workers, Tan said. He said the workers were forced to wear orange robes while being beheaded, like victims of the Islamic State group. Four other sawmill workers were freed after their employers negotiated with the captors.Troops have not retrieved the militants' bodies, but based the count on intelligence reports and on sightings of bodies being carried away by other militants, Tan added.In February, the group attacked an army outpost in Butig, sparking days of fighting that killed 24 militants and six soldiers, one of whom was beheaded.Authorities said the group has used black clothing with the symbol of the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.Several small militant factions in the southern Philippines, the home of minority Muslims in the largely Roman Catholic country, have expressed support for the Islamic State group in online videos, but the military says there is no evidence of any direct, active collaboration.

Outremont moves ahead with controversial ban on places of worship-[CBC]-May 30, 2016-YAHOONEWS

The borough council in Montreal's Outremont neighbourhood is moving ahead with a controversial bylaw that bans the establishment of new places of worship on two main thoroughfares.The bylaw bans new places of worship on Bernard and Laurier avenues, two of the borough's key business arteries.The borough has already banned new places of worship on Van Horne Avenue.Monday night's motion was a vote to drop a proposed amendment to the bylaw, which the borough first passed in December.The amendment would have designated a section near the railway tracks for new places of worship, but councillors later realized the change would have disrupted existing property lines.Only one councillor, Mindy Pollak, the first Hasidic woman to ever hold elected office in Montreal, voted against the motion Monday night.Outremont is home to a large Hasidic community, which represents around 25 per cent of borough's population. Hasidic leaders say they worry the ban will effectively outlaw the building of new synagogues in the borough.A ban already exists on the establishment of new places of worship on residential streets in Outremont.Only two synagogues have been established in the last 20 years, and the growing Hasidic community doesn't know where to build next.-Bylaw 'painful' for Hasidic community-"It's very painful for us. We don't want this fight, we didn't start this fight and all it would have taken was for municipal authorities to just sit down us rather than saying 'this is democracy' and ramming this proposal down our throats," said Abraham Ekstein, a Hasidic community leader.Ekstein wouldn't say if the community is considering legal action."What we're talking about is a complete and outright ban in Outremont," Hasidic blogger Cheskie Weiss told CBC Montreal earlier on Monday.Weiss said many in the Hasidic community feel unfairly targeted.Outremont Mayor Marie Cinq-Mars says another section of the borough might be opened up for religious zoning after a consultant has weighed in.Outremont council voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposed bylaw in December, but delayed its implementation pending further consultations.At that time, Hasidic community members Jacob Karmel and Alex Werzberger turned to the law firm Grey Casgrain, which issued a letter warning the borough of possible legal action if the vote was not postponed in order to conduct further study.The borough said the proposed bylaw was necessary to create  "winning conditions" to promote business on Laurier, Bernard and Van Horne avenues.
