Rains from monster Hurricane Irma begin hitting Puerto Rico-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Heavy rain and 185-mph winds lashed the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico's northeast coast Wednesday as Hurricane Irma roared through Caribbean islands on its way to a possible hit on South Florida.The strongest Atlantic Ocean hurricane ever measured destroyed homes and flooded streets across a chain of small islands in the northern Caribbean, passing directly over Barbuda and leaving the island of some 1,700 people incommunicado.France sent emergency food and water rations to the French islands of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy, where Irma ripped off roofs and knocked out all electricity. Dutch marines who flew to three Dutch islands hammered by Irma reported extensive damage but no deaths or injuries.While France received no immediate reports of casualties, the minister for French overseas territories, Annick Girardin, said: "We have a lot to fear for a certain number of our compatriots who unfortunately didn't want to listen to the protection measures and go to more secure sites ... We're preparing for the worst."By early Wednesday afternoon the centre of the storm was 20 miles (35 kilometres ) east-southeast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and 90 miles (150 kilometres ) east of San Juan, Puerto Rico and heading west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph).The U.S. National Weather Service said Puerto Rico had not seen a hurricane of Irma's magnitude since Hurricane San Felipe in 1928, which killed a total of 2,748 people in Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and Florida."We have to prepare for the worst," Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello said. "If we don't, it could be devastating."Puerto Rico's public power company has cut back on staff and maintenance amid a deep economic crisis and the agency's director warned that some areas could be without power from four to six months because the infrastructure has already deteriorated so badly. Outages were reported in some neighbourhoods well ahead of the storm, with more than 285,000 homes without power and nearly 4,500 people without water by mid-afternoon Wednesday. Nearly 1,000 people were in shelters along with more than 100 pets.The federal government has stepped in, with President Donald Trump this week approving an emergency declaration for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. That means that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies can remove debris and give other services that will largely be paid for by the U.S. government.EPA officials said their biggest concerns were oil spills and power disruptions to water supply systems."No matter what precautions we take, the coastal flooding will impact oil tanks," said Catherine McCabe, a regional administrator.Another concern is the 20 Superfund sites in Puerto Rico and the three in the U.S. Virgin islands, given that most are near the coast, she said. She said EPA officials in New Jersey are on standby to fly down after the hurricane passes through.State maintenance worker Juan Tosado said he was without power for three months after Hurricane Hugo killed dozens of people in Puerto Rico in 1989."I expect the same from this storm," he said. "It's going to be bad."Tourist Pauline Jackson, a 59-year-old registered nurse from Tampa Florida, puffed on her last cigarette as a San Juan hotel prepared to shutter its doors ahead of the storm."I'm in a hurricane here, and when I get home, I'll be in the same hurricane. It's crazy," she said.She tried to leave ahead of the storm but all flights were sold out, and she now worries about her home in Tampa."When you're from Florida, you understand a Category 5 hurricane," said Jackson, who is scheduled to fly out on Friday.The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Irma's winds would fluctuate, but the storm would likely remain at Category 4 or 5 for the next day or two as it roared past Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, the Turks & Caicos and parts of the Bahamas.By early Sunday, Irma is expected to hit Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott said he planned to activate 7,000 National Guard members by Friday and warned that Irma is "bigger, faster and stronger" than Hurricane Andrew. Andrew pummeled south Florida 25 years ago and wiped out entire neighbourhoods with ferocious winds. Trump also declared an emergency in Florida and authorities in the Bahamas said they would evacuate six southern islands.The mayor of Miami-Dade County said people should be prepared to evacuate Miami Beach and most coastal areas as soon as Wednesday evening. He activated the emergency operation centre and urged residents to have three days' worth of food and water.The State Department authorized voluntary evacuation of U.S. diplomats and their families from the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, where the storm was expected to arrive by Friday.Warm water is fuel for hurricanes and Irma was moving over water that was 1.8 degrees (1 degree Celsius) warmer than normal. Four other storms have had winds as strong in the overall Atlantic region, but they were in the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, which usually have warmer waters. Hurricane Allen hit 190 mph in 1980, while 2005's Wilma, 1988's Gilbert and a 1935 great Florida Keys storm all had 185 mph winds.Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said his government was evacuating six islands because authorities would not be able to help anyone caught in the "potentially catastrophic" wind, flooding and storm surge. People there would be flown to Nassau in what he called the largest storm evacuation in the country's history.The northern parts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti could see 10 inches (25 centimetres ) of rain, with as much as 20 inches (50 centimetres ) in the southeast Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.The website cruisecritic.com said that 28 cruises had been cancelled , shortened or had their itineraries changed as a result of the hurricane.Also Wednesday, a new tropical storm formed in the Gulf of Mexico off Mexico's coast. Tropical Storm Katia had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) by the early afternoon and the hurricane centre said it could become a hurricane before it approaches the coast of Veracruz state. Katia was located about 175 miles (280 kms) north of the city of Veracruz.And another tropical storm farther east in the Atlantic was expected to become a hurricane by Wednesday night. Tropical Storm Jose's maximum sustained winds had increased to near 70 mph (110 kph). The storm was centred about 1,135 miles (1,825 kilometres ) east of the Lesser Antilles and was moving west near 13 mph (20 kph).___Associated Press writers contributing to this report included Anika Kentish in St. John's, Antigua; Seth Borenstein in Washington; Michael Weissenstein in Havana, Cuba and Ben Fox in Miami.___HURRICANE NEWSLETTER - Get the best of the AP's all-formats reporting on Irma and Harvey in your inbox: http://apne.ws/ahYQGtb-Danico Coto, The Associated Press
Hurricane Irma lashes Caribbean, Florida braces for hit-[Reuters]-By Scott Malone-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Reuters) - Potentially catastrophic Hurricane Irma clobbered Caribbean islands with pounding winds, rain and surging surf on Wednesday as officials in Florida called for evacuations ahead of the storm's expected landfall there this weekend.Irma could become the second powerful storm to thrash the U.S. mainland in as many weeks, but its precise trajectory remained uncertain. Hurricane Harvey killed more than 60 people and caused as much as $180 billion in damage after hitting Texas late last month.The eye of Irma, a Category 5 storm with winds of 185 miles per hour (295 km per hour), was passing over the northernmost Virgin Islands on Wednesday afternoon after crossing the half-French, half-Dutch island of St. Martin, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Category 5 is its highest category.On its current path the core of Irma, which the Miami-based center said was the strongest Atlantic storm on record, was expected to pass near or just north of Puerto Rico on Wednesday before scraping the north coast of the Dominican Republic on Thursday.Karel van Oosterom, the Netherlands ambassador to the United Nations, said Irma had hit the Dutch islands of Saba and Sint Eustasius before overrunning St. Martin."First information indicates that a lot of damage has been done, but communication is still extremely difficult," he said at a U.N. meeting.Irma began lashing Puerto Rico with rain at mid-morning. Governor Ricardo Rossello told residents to stay inside as the storm bore down on the island. "There is no reason to be in the street," Rossello told a midday press conference.Many businesses in the capital San Juan were closed and many buildings were covered with storm shutters. Occasional shoppers were out making final purchases of water, ice and food to prepare for what could be several days without power.Rene Franco, a 37-year-old medical student, said he had still not decided whether to flee to a shelter."I feel ready. I bought groceries. I bought water -- too much water," he said as he walked his 12-year-old dog Heaven before the storm arrived. "In the past I have always stayed in my house but this time it depends. It depends on the waves and the water. This is a very difficult storm."-ROOFS BLOWN OFF-After Irma battered the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, emergency officials reported three injuries and minimal damage, with some roofs blown off. Prime Minister Gaston Browne said flights would resume from the airport Wednesday afternoon.Many of the Caribbean's Leeward Islands were under a hurricane watch, including the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas, the NHC said.In Paris, the French government said it had delivered water and food to two overseas territories, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy, and that emergency response teams would be sent once the storm had passed.Power was knocked out on both islands, according to prefecture officials on Guadeloupe. At least four buildings were damaged and low-lying regions had been flooded, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said.The U.N. World Food Program prepared to provide emergency aid to Haiti if it was hit by Irma. The country was ravaged by a 2010 earthquake and Hurricane Matthew last year.U.S. President Donald Trump said he and aides were monitoring Irma's progress. "But it looks like it could be something that will be not good. Believe me, not good," he told reporters at the White House.Trump, whose Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, could take a direct hit from the storm, has already approved emergency declarations for Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, mobilizing federal disaster relief efforts.Florida Governor Rick Scott said Irma could be more devastating than Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 storm that struck the state in 1992 and still ranks as one of the costliest ever in the United States.Residents of the Florida Keys, a resort archipelago at the state's southern tip, were ordered to leave by Wednesday evening. Residents of low-lying areas in densely populated Miami-Dade County were urged to move to higher ground."We can expect additional evacuations as this storm continues to come near our state," Scott said at a news conference in the Keys.He said 7,000 National Guard troops would report for duty on Friday, ahead of the storm's expected arrival.In South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster also declared a state of emergency and urged residents to prepare for Irma's potential landfall there."It's too soon to rule out any possibilities," said Kim Stenson, director of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. "Hurricane Irma is a dangerous storm and its projected path could put South Carolina in harm's way. Fortunately, people in South Carolina have time."Irma ranked as one of the five most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in the last 80 years and the strongest Atlantic storm recorded by the NHC outside the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.(Additional reporting by Bernie Woodall in Ft.

Why even a record-breaking hurricane can't hit Category 6-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-September 5, 2017
Record-breaking and "potentially catastrophic" Hurricane Irma is smashing its way into the islands of the northeast Caribbean with sustained winds raging at up to 295 km/h.The U.S. National Hurricane Center says it's the strongest hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin (outside the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico) and "will bring life-threatening wind, storm surge and rainfall hazards" to the northeastern Caribbean starting today.Irma is currently listed as a Category 5 hurricane, but some articles circulating on the internet claim it could become the first to reach Category 6.But those articles are fake.How do we know? Because the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, which categorizes hurricanes' destructiveness based on their wind speeds, ranges from 1 to 5.Category 3 hurricanes and above are considered major, and the worst storms are Category 5, encompassing all hurricanes with sustained winds of 252 km/h or more.When a Category 5 storm hits, you can expect "catastrophic damage," according to a National Hurricane Center backgrounder. "Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months," it says, as the winds will destroy many homes, collapsing roofs, walls, trees and power lines, causing power outages that last for weeks or months.But why is there no Category 6? "Because once you say catastrophic and there's near complete damage, why do you need a 6?" says Dennis Feltgen, a spokesperson for the National Hurricane Center.Of course, it's not wind speed alone that makes hurricanes destructive. Hurricane Harvey was just a Category 4 when it hit the coast of Texas on Aug. 25, but killed at least 60 people and left 560,000 families seeking housing assistance. Massive flooding from storm surges and more than a metre of rain caused much of the destruction."We basically have a scale for storm surge … how many feet above ground level there would be inundation." says Feltgen.But the different factors that make storms destructive are too variable to measure on a scale of wind speed, he said.Here's a list of the different hurricane categories and what they mean, according to the National Hurricane Center:- Category 1 (119-153 km/h): Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days. - Category 2 (154-177 km/h): Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks. - Category 3 (178-208 km/h): Devastating damage will occur: Well-built frame homes may incur major damage or loss of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes. - Category 4 (209-251 km/h): Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built frame homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months. - Category 5 (252 km/h or higher): Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of frame homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

Staff at RBC Convention Centre bring comfort to evacuees-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-September 5, 2017
Staff at the RBC Convention Centre are using food to provide comfort for evacuees in crisis.Close to 500 people are currently at the RBC Convention Centre after being driven from their homes by a wildfire in northern Manitoba, but that number fluctuates as some people have gone home to their community, and others have found a place to stay in Winnipeg or elsewhere, says to the centre's president and CEO, Klaus Lahr.Lahr says meals are served buffet style in a dining area in a massive room typically used for graduation ceremonies."A thousand people, three thousand meals a day but during grad season we serve way more meals than that," said Lahr. "I wouldn't say we're out of our element, in fact I think this is just right up our alley, we are in the business of looking after people, we're in the business of making people happy, the situation is a little different but we adjust to it and it has worked very well."They've been very great people to have under our roof."The entire third floor of the convention centre—which is designed for 9,000 people—is the temporary home for the evacuees.In two massive rooms, Hall 'A' and Hall 'B', cots with blankets are set up grid-style.The far banquet room, otherwise known as "Hall C," has the dining area, activities for children, two movie theatres, and stations for health and social services.Pizza, perogies and now hamburger soup are on the weekly menu."Food is very important in a crisis," said Quentin Harty, executive chef for the RBC Convention Centre. "If you can imagine being flown out somewhere, and being in a surrounding with people you're not familiar with... I think that's why food is everybody's go-to."Harty said hearing from the evacuees has been crucial in meal-planning."We're getting good feedback. They have the odd suggestion that they're offering up to us and we're responding to that," he said. "We're trying to take really good care of them."He says many people have asked for hamburger soup, and now, ragout, pizza and jackfish have been added to this week's menus."No doubt it's a crisis they're experiencing, it's a life altering experience so we're trying to be as accommodating as possible," he said. "I'm happy that we were here to help and fulfil the need and serve, that's what it's all about."Don Taylor from St. Theresa Point appreciates the effort."The food is good and everything's great," said the 25-year-old, who is looking forward to getting to his community and checking on his house soon.Taylor says Tuesday's lunch—sausage and perogies—helped to relieve his stress, something echoed by his friend, Rex McDougall from Wasagamack First Nation."Food's pretty good. They got good chefs. Give 'em two thumbs up," said McDougall.Lahr says the convention centre can keep the status quo until September 12; beyond that, it will take some room re-arranging, but he adds the evacuees can stay until the end of September.He said there have been some challenges with children pulling the fire drill, but after the elders spoke to them, that stopped."If this was me I don't know whether I would be able to handle it as calmly and as civilized as they do," said Lahr. "So my feeling goes out to them and my hat goes out to them."The Canadian Red Cross is providing round-the-clock support to evacuees and buses leave the convention centre every half hour. The buses go to Walmart so people can buy their necessities, the Pan-Am Pool so people can shower, and to the other relief centre on Leila Avenue so evacuees can visit friends.

Hungary and Slovakia defiant after EU court rebuke By Eszter Zalan-SEPT 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 17:57-Hungary and Slovakia pledged not to change their opposition to taking in asylum seekers after the EU's top court on Wednesday (6 September) dismissed the two countries' complaints over the EU's migration quota scheme.Slovak prime minister Robert Fico said his country respects the European Court of Justice's (ECJ's) decision to reject their complaints but that it will not change his position."We will continue to work on having solidarity expressed in different ways other than forcing [on us] migrants from other countries that don't want to be here anyway," he said.Hungary's foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, called the court decision "outrageous and irresponsible"."The real battle has just begun," he was quoted by MTI Hungarian news agency as saying.He added that Budapest will take all legal action possible to prevent relocating people into Hungary "against the will of the Hungarian people".Szijjarto said the decision "endangers the future and security of Europe as a whole".He described the court's decision as political."Politics raped European law", Szijjarto told reporters in Budapest, adding that the decision established the power of the European Commission over the member states.Hungary's government, led by prime minister Viktor Orban, is facing elections next spring, which could entail more harsh rhetoric against Brussels and migration quotas during the campaign.-It's time to move-The ECJ's decision responded to a complaint by Hungary and Slovakia over the legality of a September 2015 Council decision to distribute asylum seekers from Greece and Italy across the bloc, based on quotas established by the EU commission.The Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia voted against the measure, which was then challenged by Hungary and Slovakia later that year.The court, in its ruling, said that the move was taken in a non-legislative procedure, and did not require unanimity.It also added that the EU institutions can adopt provisional measures necessary to respond to an emergency situation, such as the sudden influx of migrants in 2015.Poland, which has not lodged a complaint with the ECJ, nor did it vote against the measure in 2015 under its previous government, also vowed not to change its opposition to the quota policy.Poland, along with the Czech Republic and Hungary, is under scrutiny from the commission for not taking in asylum seekers under the 2015 plan, and could face fines."I was convinced that such a decision would be made [by the court], but this absolutely does not change the stance of the Polish government with respect to migration policy," Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo said on Wednesday.Commenting on the court's decision, the EU's migration commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, said member states should swiftly move on relocating asylum seekers."All member states should be focusing on delivering, there is no time to waste," he told reporters in Brussels."It is time to be united and show full solidarity," he added."Does Hungary really mean it, when authorities say they want to show solidarity? Solidarity cannot be a la carte," Avramopoulos said, referring to a recent request by Budapest to the EU commission to finance its border fence.Avramopoulos warned that if member states under the commission's probe do not change their approach in the "coming weeks", they would be referred to the ECJ.If the court rules that they are in breach of EU law, they can be fined at the end of another procedure.-Reform boost?-The court's decision could also give a boost to the discussions on the reform of the EU's asylum system, Giulia Lagana, a senior analyst at the Open Society European Policy Institute in Brussels told EUobserver."Politically, it enforces the concept of shared responsibility, which means backing for those countries that support distributions of asylum seekers," she said.Member states are stuck on asylum reform over discussions on how to share asylum seekers in case of another influx, due to strong opposition mainly from eastern and central European member states.Avramopoulos said the ECJ's decision is encouraging and that he hoped to reach a final compromise by the end of the year.While Wednesday's ruling does not have direct consequences on Hungary's and Slovakia's policy, it could increase pressure on eastern and central European member states to take in people from Greece and Italy."Now we can expect all European partners to stick to the ruling and implement the agreements without delay," German foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a statement.Iverna McGowan, director of the Amnesty International's European Institutions Office said: "Today's ruling shows that no country can hide from their responsibilities to refugees ... Member states must show solidarity with each other, and with asylum seekers who are seeking protection in Europe."The commission said on Wednesday that 27,695 asylum seekers have been relocated so far from Greece (19,244) and Italy (8,451).It estimates that another 2,800 still need to be relocated from Greece, while Italy counts 7,200 who are eligible so far this year - of which only 4,000 have been registered for relocation.
EU seeks new rules on internal border checks By Nikolaj Nielsen-SEPT 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 17:38-The European Commission is working on revising rules that allow EU states to impose internal border controls and checks throughout the passport-free Schengen area.Dimitris Avramopoulos, the EU commissioner for migration, told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday (6 September) that a proposal will soon be put forward to reform the so-called Schengen Borders Code."Very soon we shall be in a position to present our proposals," he said.One EU commission official noted that a possible option for the reform would be to allow the states to use terrorism, and not migration flows, as a basis for internal controls."It [terrorism] is really not explicit, it is really not covered by the rules," she said, noting the rules are vague in regard to such serious threats to internal security."We are still exploring options whether there is [a need to make terrorism explicit in the rules] but we have said that we recognise that is one of the grey areas of the border code."A new legal basis, based explicitly on terrorism, could allow the same states to then continue the border controls after the November deadline and possibly without limits on the extensions.The announcement comes ahead of a November deadline for Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and non-EU member state Norway to lift their internal checks.It also follows previous statements by Avramopoulos, who told reporters over the summer that the countries would no longer be able to prolong border controls for another six months.All five over the summer had demanded the six-month extensions, as part of a wider effort to prevent migrants from moving north of Greece and elsewhere. Those controls must end in November, given that the code imposes a two-year limit on the six-month extensions, for reasons linked to migration movements."There are some countries that have presented justified reasons in order to ask for an extension of internal border controls, but this period is approaching its end and it is not legally justified to prolong it," Avramopoulos noted on Wednesday.But intense pressure from Germany and France, along with other EU states, who want the rules reformed, appears to have eased the commission's position, as it is now preparing to launch a reform of the code.Schengen states are currently only allowed to temporarily reintroduce controls at the internal borders when there is serious threat to public policy or internal security.
U.S. to send 3,500 additional troops to Afghanistan-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will send about 3,500 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, U.S. officials said on Wednesday, a figure broadly in line with expectations as the United States boosts support for the Afghan military.The disclosure by the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, comes as Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine General Joseph Dunford hold closed door briefings with members of Congress about President Donald Trump's regional strategy.The Pentagon said it would not comment on additional troop numbers until Mattis makes an announcement.If confirmed, it would bring the total number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to about 14,500.After a months-long review of his Afghanistan policy, Trump committed the United States last week to an open-ended conflict in the country and promised a stepped-up campaign against Taliban insurgents.Last week Mattis said he had signed orders to send additional troops to Afghanistan but did not specify the size of the force, saying he first needed to brief Congress.U.S. officials have for months told Reuters that Trump had given Mattis the authority to send about 4,000 additional troops to Afghanistan.The U.S. presence in Afghanistan peaked at more than 100,000 troops in 2011, when Washington was under domestic political pressure to draw down the costly operation.Some U.S. officials have told Reuters they questioned the benefit of sending more troops to Afghanistan because any politically palatable number would not be enough to turn the tide, much less create stability and security.To date, more than 2,300 Americans have been killed and over 17,000 wounded in Afghanistan.(Reporting by Idrees Ali and Phil Stewart; Editing by Bill Trott)
Trump seeks tougher sanctions to prod North Korea into negotiations-[Reuters]-By Matt Spetalnick and David Brunnstrom-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With no palatable military options, U.S. President Donald Trump may ultimately have no choice but to give diplomacy a chance to end the crisis over North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.For now, though, he is pursuing tougher economic sanctions, including an oil embargo, and opposed to making any concessions that might look like appeasement, insisting that more pressure on the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is needed before it is time to talk.North Korea seems even more opposed to negotiations until it has achieved the ability to attack the continental United States with nuclear weapons."North Korea is not interested in dialogue. ... Kim Jong Un has sent a message with this last test that he doesn't listen to anybody," said a senior official who helps coordinate the European Union's North Korea policy.So for now, despite calls from Russia, China, and others, there is no push from the United States or North Korea for direct talks, despite an escalating crisis that threatens millions of lives after North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test last weekend.The Trump administration says the United Nations needs to tighten economic sanctions to pressure North Korea to change its behavior and start talking. A draft sanctions resolution may be circulated at the United Nations this week.Trump's tactics, one senior administration official said on the condition of anonymity, mirror those in many of his business deals: simultaneously playing good cop and bad cop, not appearing too interested in making a deal but keeping lines of communication open.Trump said on Wednesday after a call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping that military action against North Korea was not a first choice, "but we will see what happens."Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that Kim was "begging for war," but added: "The time has come for us to exhaust all of our diplomatic means before it's too late."Japan is pushing for tough sanctions at the UN, including an oil embargo, but while they also have denounced North Korea's nuclear test, China and Russia have said that sanctions and pressure alone cannot resolve the crisis.The United States wants the Security Council to impose an oil embargo on North Korea, ban its exports of textiles and the hiring of North Korean laborers abroad and subject leader Kim Jong Un to an asset freeze and travel ban, according to a draft resolution seen by Reuters on Wednesday.Diplomats say the U.N. Security Council could also consider barring its airline.A decade of sanctions has not slowed North Korea's nuclear weapons program, and now that it is closer to its goal, diplomats and analysts say it is unlikely to back down.-ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTION-"The U.S. policy of strategic patience on North Korea has assumed that time is on their side - that economic sanctions will eventually lead to the collapse of Kim Jong Un's regime and its economy, and it will come to the negotiating table, no longer able to withstand the economic pain," said Moon Chung-in, a special adviser to South Korea's president on foreign affairs and national security."However, such an assumption has now proven wrong. North Korea's economy has not only adapted quickly to tightening sanctions, but the country has also succeeded in advancing its nuclear weapons programs despite more than a decade of economic hardship."Zhao Tong, a Beijing-based North Korea expert at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center, said Pyongyang may hope Washington ultimately will recognize it has developed a credible nuclear capability, abandon its long-standing precondition for talks - that North Korea accept that they be aimed at its nuclear disarmament - and instead seek the freezing its nuclear program."From the North Korean perspective, their strategy is working," he said.Most experts say it no longer is realistic to think North Korea will trade away its nuclear arsenal in exchange for sanctions relief, economic support, or a peace treaty with the United States ending the formal state of war that has existed since the 1950-53 Korean War.Robert Einhorn, a former senior U.S. non-proliferation specialist now at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington, said North Korea has learned from the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's decision to stop developing weapons of mass destruction "that you can't give up critical assets that you need for your own survival."China has put forth a "freeze-for-freeze" proposal that would suspend large-scale U.S. military exercises with South Korea in return for a suspension of North Korean nuclear and missile tests.Washington continues to reject that idea.But the longer diplomacy is delayed, the greater the chances that North Korea can master the ability to hit the U.S. mainland with nuclear-tipped missiles, and then enter talks from a position of strength.South Korea is keeping open the option of dialogue with North Korea, and hopes Washington and Seoul can develop a diplomatic "roadmap," Cho Hyun, South Korea's second Vice Foreign Minister, said at a seminar in Washington on Tuesday."It may sound unrealistic today, but we cannot abandon it."(Reporting by Matt Spetalnick and David Brunnstrom in Washington; Additional reporting by Jonathan Landay, Arshad Mohammed, Doina Chiacu and David Alexander in Washington, Robin Emmott in Brussels, Soyoung Kim and Heekyong Yang in Seoul, Philip Wen and Christian Shepherd in Beijing and Nobuhiro Kubo and Tim Kelly in Tokyo; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Rains from monster Hurricane Irma begin hitting Puerto Rico-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Heavy rain and 185-mph winds lashed the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico's northeast coast Wednesday as Hurricane Irma roared through Caribbean islands on its way to a possible hit on South Florida.The strongest Atlantic Ocean hurricane ever measured destroyed homes and flooded streets across a chain of small islands in the northern Caribbean, passing directly over Barbuda and leaving the island of some 1,700 people incommunicado.France sent emergency food and water rations to the French islands of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy, where Irma ripped off roofs and knocked out all electricity. Dutch marines who flew to three Dutch islands hammered by Irma reported extensive damage but no deaths or injuries.While France received no immediate reports of casualties, the minister for French overseas territories, Annick Girardin, said: "We have a lot to fear for a certain number of our compatriots who unfortunately didn't want to listen to the protection measures and go to more secure sites ... We're preparing for the worst."By early Wednesday afternoon the centre of the storm was 20 miles (35 kilometres ) east-southeast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and 90 miles (150 kilometres ) east of San Juan, Puerto Rico and heading west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph).The U.S. National Weather Service said Puerto Rico had not seen a hurricane of Irma's magnitude since Hurricane San Felipe in 1928, which killed a total of 2,748 people in Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and Florida."We have to prepare for the worst," Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello said. "If we don't, it could be devastating."Puerto Rico's public power company has cut back on staff and maintenance amid a deep economic crisis and the agency's director warned that some areas could be without power from four to six months because the infrastructure has already deteriorated so badly. Outages were reported in some neighbourhoods well ahead of the storm, with more than 285,000 homes without power and nearly 4,500 people without water by mid-afternoon Wednesday. Nearly 1,000 people were in shelters along with more than 100 pets.The federal government has stepped in, with President Donald Trump this week approving an emergency declaration for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. That means that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies can remove debris and give other services that will largely be paid for by the U.S. government.EPA officials said their biggest concerns were oil spills and power disruptions to water supply systems."No matter what precautions we take, the coastal flooding will impact oil tanks," said Catherine McCabe, a regional administrator.Another concern is the 20 Superfund sites in Puerto Rico and the three in the U.S. Virgin islands, given that most are near the coast, she said. She said EPA officials in New Jersey are on standby to fly down after the hurricane passes through.State maintenance worker Juan Tosado said he was without power for three months after Hurricane Hugo killed dozens of people in Puerto Rico in 1989."I expect the same from this storm," he said. "It's going to be bad."Tourist Pauline Jackson, a 59-year-old registered nurse from Tampa Florida, puffed on her last cigarette as a San Juan hotel prepared to shutter its doors ahead of the storm."I'm in a hurricane here, and when I get home, I'll be in the same hurricane. It's crazy," she said.She tried to leave ahead of the storm but all flights were sold out, and she now worries about her home in Tampa."When you're from Florida, you understand a Category 5 hurricane," said Jackson, who is scheduled to fly out on Friday.The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Irma's winds would fluctuate, but the storm would likely remain at Category 4 or 5 for the next day or two as it roared past Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, the Turks & Caicos and parts of the Bahamas.By early Sunday, Irma is expected to hit Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott said he planned to activate 7,000 National Guard members by Friday and warned that Irma is "bigger, faster and stronger" than Hurricane Andrew. Andrew pummeled south Florida 25 years ago and wiped out entire neighbourhoods with ferocious winds. Trump also declared an emergency in Florida and authorities in the Bahamas said they would evacuate six southern islands.The mayor of Miami-Dade County said people should be prepared to evacuate Miami Beach and most coastal areas as soon as Wednesday evening. He activated the emergency operation centre and urged residents to have three days' worth of food and water.The State Department authorized voluntary evacuation of U.S. diplomats and their families from the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, where the storm was expected to arrive by Friday.Warm water is fuel for hurricanes and Irma was moving over water that was 1.8 degrees (1 degree Celsius) warmer than normal. Four other storms have had winds as strong in the overall Atlantic region, but they were in the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, which usually have warmer waters. Hurricane Allen hit 190 mph in 1980, while 2005's Wilma, 1988's Gilbert and a 1935 great Florida Keys storm all had 185 mph winds.Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said his government was evacuating six islands because authorities would not be able to help anyone caught in the "potentially catastrophic" wind, flooding and storm surge. People there would be flown to Nassau in what he called the largest storm evacuation in the country's history.The northern parts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti could see 10 inches (25 centimetres ) of rain, with as much as 20 inches (50 centimetres ) in the southeast Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.The website cruisecritic.com said that 28 cruises had been cancelled , shortened or had their itineraries changed as a result of the hurricane.Also Wednesday, a new tropical storm formed in the Gulf of Mexico off Mexico's coast. Tropical Storm Katia had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) by the early afternoon and the hurricane centre said it could become a hurricane before it approaches the coast of Veracruz state. Katia was located about 175 miles (280 kms) north of the city of Veracruz.And another tropical storm farther east in the Atlantic was expected to become a hurricane by Wednesday night. Tropical Storm Jose's maximum sustained winds had increased to near 70 mph (110 kph). The storm was centred about 1,135 miles (1,825 kilometres ) east of the Lesser Antilles and was moving west near 13 mph (20 kph).___Associated Press writers contributing to this report included Anika Kentish in St. John's, Antigua; Seth Borenstein in Washington; Michael Weissenstein in Havana, Cuba and Ben Fox in Miami.___HURRICANE NEWSLETTER - Get the best of the AP's all-formats reporting on Irma and Harvey in your inbox: http://apne.ws/ahYQGtb-Danico Coto, The Associated Press
Hurricane Irma lashes Caribbean, Florida braces for hit-[Reuters]-By Scott Malone-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Reuters) - Potentially catastrophic Hurricane Irma clobbered Caribbean islands with pounding winds, rain and surging surf on Wednesday as officials in Florida called for evacuations ahead of the storm's expected landfall there this weekend.Irma could become the second powerful storm to thrash the U.S. mainland in as many weeks, but its precise trajectory remained uncertain. Hurricane Harvey killed more than 60 people and caused as much as $180 billion in damage after hitting Texas late last month.The eye of Irma, a Category 5 storm with winds of 185 miles per hour (295 km per hour), was passing over the northernmost Virgin Islands on Wednesday afternoon after crossing the half-French, half-Dutch island of St. Martin, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Category 5 is its highest category.On its current path the core of Irma, which the Miami-based center said was the strongest Atlantic storm on record, was expected to pass near or just north of Puerto Rico on Wednesday before scraping the north coast of the Dominican Republic on Thursday.Karel van Oosterom, the Netherlands ambassador to the United Nations, said Irma had hit the Dutch islands of Saba and Sint Eustasius before overrunning St. Martin."First information indicates that a lot of damage has been done, but communication is still extremely difficult," he said at a U.N. meeting.Irma began lashing Puerto Rico with rain at mid-morning. Governor Ricardo Rossello told residents to stay inside as the storm bore down on the island. "There is no reason to be in the street," Rossello told a midday press conference.Many businesses in the capital San Juan were closed and many buildings were covered with storm shutters. Occasional shoppers were out making final purchases of water, ice and food to prepare for what could be several days without power.Rene Franco, a 37-year-old medical student, said he had still not decided whether to flee to a shelter."I feel ready. I bought groceries. I bought water -- too much water," he said as he walked his 12-year-old dog Heaven before the storm arrived. "In the past I have always stayed in my house but this time it depends. It depends on the waves and the water. This is a very difficult storm."-ROOFS BLOWN OFF-After Irma battered the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, emergency officials reported three injuries and minimal damage, with some roofs blown off. Prime Minister Gaston Browne said flights would resume from the airport Wednesday afternoon.Many of the Caribbean's Leeward Islands were under a hurricane watch, including the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas, the NHC said.In Paris, the French government said it had delivered water and food to two overseas territories, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy, and that emergency response teams would be sent once the storm had passed.Power was knocked out on both islands, according to prefecture officials on Guadeloupe. At least four buildings were damaged and low-lying regions had been flooded, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said.The U.N. World Food Program prepared to provide emergency aid to Haiti if it was hit by Irma. The country was ravaged by a 2010 earthquake and Hurricane Matthew last year.U.S. President Donald Trump said he and aides were monitoring Irma's progress. "But it looks like it could be something that will be not good. Believe me, not good," he told reporters at the White House.Trump, whose Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, could take a direct hit from the storm, has already approved emergency declarations for Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, mobilizing federal disaster relief efforts.Florida Governor Rick Scott said Irma could be more devastating than Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 storm that struck the state in 1992 and still ranks as one of the costliest ever in the United States.Residents of the Florida Keys, a resort archipelago at the state's southern tip, were ordered to leave by Wednesday evening. Residents of low-lying areas in densely populated Miami-Dade County were urged to move to higher ground."We can expect additional evacuations as this storm continues to come near our state," Scott said at a news conference in the Keys.He said 7,000 National Guard troops would report for duty on Friday, ahead of the storm's expected arrival.In South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster also declared a state of emergency and urged residents to prepare for Irma's potential landfall there."It's too soon to rule out any possibilities," said Kim Stenson, director of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. "Hurricane Irma is a dangerous storm and its projected path could put South Carolina in harm's way. Fortunately, people in South Carolina have time."Irma ranked as one of the five most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in the last 80 years and the strongest Atlantic storm recorded by the NHC outside the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.(Additional reporting by Bernie Woodall in Ft.

Why even a record-breaking hurricane can't hit Category 6-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-September 5, 2017
Record-breaking and "potentially catastrophic" Hurricane Irma is smashing its way into the islands of the northeast Caribbean with sustained winds raging at up to 295 km/h.The U.S. National Hurricane Center says it's the strongest hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin (outside the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico) and "will bring life-threatening wind, storm surge and rainfall hazards" to the northeastern Caribbean starting today.Irma is currently listed as a Category 5 hurricane, but some articles circulating on the internet claim it could become the first to reach Category 6.But those articles are fake.How do we know? Because the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, which categorizes hurricanes' destructiveness based on their wind speeds, ranges from 1 to 5.Category 3 hurricanes and above are considered major, and the worst storms are Category 5, encompassing all hurricanes with sustained winds of 252 km/h or more.When a Category 5 storm hits, you can expect "catastrophic damage," according to a National Hurricane Center backgrounder. "Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months," it says, as the winds will destroy many homes, collapsing roofs, walls, trees and power lines, causing power outages that last for weeks or months.But why is there no Category 6? "Because once you say catastrophic and there's near complete damage, why do you need a 6?" says Dennis Feltgen, a spokesperson for the National Hurricane Center.Of course, it's not wind speed alone that makes hurricanes destructive. Hurricane Harvey was just a Category 4 when it hit the coast of Texas on Aug. 25, but killed at least 60 people and left 560,000 families seeking housing assistance. Massive flooding from storm surges and more than a metre of rain caused much of the destruction."We basically have a scale for storm surge … how many feet above ground level there would be inundation." says Feltgen.But the different factors that make storms destructive are too variable to measure on a scale of wind speed, he said.Here's a list of the different hurricane categories and what they mean, according to the National Hurricane Center:- Category 1 (119-153 km/h): Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days. - Category 2 (154-177 km/h): Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks. - Category 3 (178-208 km/h): Devastating damage will occur: Well-built frame homes may incur major damage or loss of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes. - Category 4 (209-251 km/h): Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built frame homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months. - Category 5 (252 km/h or higher): Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of frame homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

Staff at RBC Convention Centre bring comfort to evacuees-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-September 5, 2017
Staff at the RBC Convention Centre are using food to provide comfort for evacuees in crisis.Close to 500 people are currently at the RBC Convention Centre after being driven from their homes by a wildfire in northern Manitoba, but that number fluctuates as some people have gone home to their community, and others have found a place to stay in Winnipeg or elsewhere, says to the centre's president and CEO, Klaus Lahr.Lahr says meals are served buffet style in a dining area in a massive room typically used for graduation ceremonies."A thousand people, three thousand meals a day but during grad season we serve way more meals than that," said Lahr. "I wouldn't say we're out of our element, in fact I think this is just right up our alley, we are in the business of looking after people, we're in the business of making people happy, the situation is a little different but we adjust to it and it has worked very well."They've been very great people to have under our roof."The entire third floor of the convention centre—which is designed for 9,000 people—is the temporary home for the evacuees.In two massive rooms, Hall 'A' and Hall 'B', cots with blankets are set up grid-style.The far banquet room, otherwise known as "Hall C," has the dining area, activities for children, two movie theatres, and stations for health and social services.Pizza, perogies and now hamburger soup are on the weekly menu."Food is very important in a crisis," said Quentin Harty, executive chef for the RBC Convention Centre. "If you can imagine being flown out somewhere, and being in a surrounding with people you're not familiar with... I think that's why food is everybody's go-to."Harty said hearing from the evacuees has been crucial in meal-planning."We're getting good feedback. They have the odd suggestion that they're offering up to us and we're responding to that," he said. "We're trying to take really good care of them."He says many people have asked for hamburger soup, and now, ragout, pizza and jackfish have been added to this week's menus."No doubt it's a crisis they're experiencing, it's a life altering experience so we're trying to be as accommodating as possible," he said. "I'm happy that we were here to help and fulfil the need and serve, that's what it's all about."Don Taylor from St. Theresa Point appreciates the effort."The food is good and everything's great," said the 25-year-old, who is looking forward to getting to his community and checking on his house soon.Taylor says Tuesday's lunch—sausage and perogies—helped to relieve his stress, something echoed by his friend, Rex McDougall from Wasagamack First Nation."Food's pretty good. They got good chefs. Give 'em two thumbs up," said McDougall.Lahr says the convention centre can keep the status quo until September 12; beyond that, it will take some room re-arranging, but he adds the evacuees can stay until the end of September.He said there have been some challenges with children pulling the fire drill, but after the elders spoke to them, that stopped."If this was me I don't know whether I would be able to handle it as calmly and as civilized as they do," said Lahr. "So my feeling goes out to them and my hat goes out to them."The Canadian Red Cross is providing round-the-clock support to evacuees and buses leave the convention centre every half hour. The buses go to Walmart so people can buy their necessities, the Pan-Am Pool so people can shower, and to the other relief centre on Leila Avenue so evacuees can visit friends.

Hungary and Slovakia defiant after EU court rebuke By Eszter Zalan-SEPT 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 17:57-Hungary and Slovakia pledged not to change their opposition to taking in asylum seekers after the EU's top court on Wednesday (6 September) dismissed the two countries' complaints over the EU's migration quota scheme.Slovak prime minister Robert Fico said his country respects the European Court of Justice's (ECJ's) decision to reject their complaints but that it will not change his position."We will continue to work on having solidarity expressed in different ways other than forcing [on us] migrants from other countries that don't want to be here anyway," he said.Hungary's foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, called the court decision "outrageous and irresponsible"."The real battle has just begun," he was quoted by MTI Hungarian news agency as saying.He added that Budapest will take all legal action possible to prevent relocating people into Hungary "against the will of the Hungarian people".Szijjarto said the decision "endangers the future and security of Europe as a whole".He described the court's decision as political."Politics raped European law", Szijjarto told reporters in Budapest, adding that the decision established the power of the European Commission over the member states.Hungary's government, led by prime minister Viktor Orban, is facing elections next spring, which could entail more harsh rhetoric against Brussels and migration quotas during the campaign.-It's time to move-The ECJ's decision responded to a complaint by Hungary and Slovakia over the legality of a September 2015 Council decision to distribute asylum seekers from Greece and Italy across the bloc, based on quotas established by the EU commission.The Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia voted against the measure, which was then challenged by Hungary and Slovakia later that year.The court, in its ruling, said that the move was taken in a non-legislative procedure, and did not require unanimity.It also added that the EU institutions can adopt provisional measures necessary to respond to an emergency situation, such as the sudden influx of migrants in 2015.Poland, which has not lodged a complaint with the ECJ, nor did it vote against the measure in 2015 under its previous government, also vowed not to change its opposition to the quota policy.Poland, along with the Czech Republic and Hungary, is under scrutiny from the commission for not taking in asylum seekers under the 2015 plan, and could face fines."I was convinced that such a decision would be made [by the court], but this absolutely does not change the stance of the Polish government with respect to migration policy," Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo said on Wednesday.Commenting on the court's decision, the EU's migration commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, said member states should swiftly move on relocating asylum seekers."All member states should be focusing on delivering, there is no time to waste," he told reporters in Brussels."It is time to be united and show full solidarity," he added."Does Hungary really mean it, when authorities say they want to show solidarity? Solidarity cannot be a la carte," Avramopoulos said, referring to a recent request by Budapest to the EU commission to finance its border fence.Avramopoulos warned that if member states under the commission's probe do not change their approach in the "coming weeks", they would be referred to the ECJ.If the court rules that they are in breach of EU law, they can be fined at the end of another procedure.-Reform boost?-The court's decision could also give a boost to the discussions on the reform of the EU's asylum system, Giulia Lagana, a senior analyst at the Open Society European Policy Institute in Brussels told EUobserver."Politically, it enforces the concept of shared responsibility, which means backing for those countries that support distributions of asylum seekers," she said.Member states are stuck on asylum reform over discussions on how to share asylum seekers in case of another influx, due to strong opposition mainly from eastern and central European member states.Avramopoulos said the ECJ's decision is encouraging and that he hoped to reach a final compromise by the end of the year.While Wednesday's ruling does not have direct consequences on Hungary's and Slovakia's policy, it could increase pressure on eastern and central European member states to take in people from Greece and Italy."Now we can expect all European partners to stick to the ruling and implement the agreements without delay," German foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a statement.Iverna McGowan, director of the Amnesty International's European Institutions Office said: "Today's ruling shows that no country can hide from their responsibilities to refugees ... Member states must show solidarity with each other, and with asylum seekers who are seeking protection in Europe."The commission said on Wednesday that 27,695 asylum seekers have been relocated so far from Greece (19,244) and Italy (8,451).It estimates that another 2,800 still need to be relocated from Greece, while Italy counts 7,200 who are eligible so far this year - of which only 4,000 have been registered for relocation.
EU seeks new rules on internal border checks By Nikolaj Nielsen-SEPT 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 17:38-The European Commission is working on revising rules that allow EU states to impose internal border controls and checks throughout the passport-free Schengen area.Dimitris Avramopoulos, the EU commissioner for migration, told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday (6 September) that a proposal will soon be put forward to reform the so-called Schengen Borders Code."Very soon we shall be in a position to present our proposals," he said.One EU commission official noted that a possible option for the reform would be to allow the states to use terrorism, and not migration flows, as a basis for internal controls."It [terrorism] is really not explicit, it is really not covered by the rules," she said, noting the rules are vague in regard to such serious threats to internal security."We are still exploring options whether there is [a need to make terrorism explicit in the rules] but we have said that we recognise that is one of the grey areas of the border code."A new legal basis, based explicitly on terrorism, could allow the same states to then continue the border controls after the November deadline and possibly without limits on the extensions.The announcement comes ahead of a November deadline for Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and non-EU member state Norway to lift their internal checks.It also follows previous statements by Avramopoulos, who told reporters over the summer that the countries would no longer be able to prolong border controls for another six months.All five over the summer had demanded the six-month extensions, as part of a wider effort to prevent migrants from moving north of Greece and elsewhere. Those controls must end in November, given that the code imposes a two-year limit on the six-month extensions, for reasons linked to migration movements."There are some countries that have presented justified reasons in order to ask for an extension of internal border controls, but this period is approaching its end and it is not legally justified to prolong it," Avramopoulos noted on Wednesday.But intense pressure from Germany and France, along with other EU states, who want the rules reformed, appears to have eased the commission's position, as it is now preparing to launch a reform of the code.Schengen states are currently only allowed to temporarily reintroduce controls at the internal borders when there is serious threat to public policy or internal security.
U.S. to send 3,500 additional troops to Afghanistan-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will send about 3,500 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, U.S. officials said on Wednesday, a figure broadly in line with expectations as the United States boosts support for the Afghan military.The disclosure by the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, comes as Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine General Joseph Dunford hold closed door briefings with members of Congress about President Donald Trump's regional strategy.The Pentagon said it would not comment on additional troop numbers until Mattis makes an announcement.If confirmed, it would bring the total number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to about 14,500.After a months-long review of his Afghanistan policy, Trump committed the United States last week to an open-ended conflict in the country and promised a stepped-up campaign against Taliban insurgents.Last week Mattis said he had signed orders to send additional troops to Afghanistan but did not specify the size of the force, saying he first needed to brief Congress.U.S. officials have for months told Reuters that Trump had given Mattis the authority to send about 4,000 additional troops to Afghanistan.The U.S. presence in Afghanistan peaked at more than 100,000 troops in 2011, when Washington was under domestic political pressure to draw down the costly operation.Some U.S. officials have told Reuters they questioned the benefit of sending more troops to Afghanistan because any politically palatable number would not be enough to turn the tide, much less create stability and security.To date, more than 2,300 Americans have been killed and over 17,000 wounded in Afghanistan.(Reporting by Idrees Ali and Phil Stewart; Editing by Bill Trott)
Trump seeks tougher sanctions to prod North Korea into negotiations-[Reuters]-By Matt Spetalnick and David Brunnstrom-YAHOONEWS-September 6, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With no palatable military options, U.S. President Donald Trump may ultimately have no choice but to give diplomacy a chance to end the crisis over North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.For now, though, he is pursuing tougher economic sanctions, including an oil embargo, and opposed to making any concessions that might look like appeasement, insisting that more pressure on the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is needed before it is time to talk.North Korea seems even more opposed to negotiations until it has achieved the ability to attack the continental United States with nuclear weapons."North Korea is not interested in dialogue. ... Kim Jong Un has sent a message with this last test that he doesn't listen to anybody," said a senior official who helps coordinate the European Union's North Korea policy.So for now, despite calls from Russia, China, and others, there is no push from the United States or North Korea for direct talks, despite an escalating crisis that threatens millions of lives after North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test last weekend.The Trump administration says the United Nations needs to tighten economic sanctions to pressure North Korea to change its behavior and start talking. A draft sanctions resolution may be circulated at the United Nations this week.Trump's tactics, one senior administration official said on the condition of anonymity, mirror those in many of his business deals: simultaneously playing good cop and bad cop, not appearing too interested in making a deal but keeping lines of communication open.Trump said on Wednesday after a call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping that military action against North Korea was not a first choice, "but we will see what happens."Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that Kim was "begging for war," but added: "The time has come for us to exhaust all of our diplomatic means before it's too late."Japan is pushing for tough sanctions at the UN, including an oil embargo, but while they also have denounced North Korea's nuclear test, China and Russia have said that sanctions and pressure alone cannot resolve the crisis.The United States wants the Security Council to impose an oil embargo on North Korea, ban its exports of textiles and the hiring of North Korean laborers abroad and subject leader Kim Jong Un to an asset freeze and travel ban, according to a draft resolution seen by Reuters on Wednesday.Diplomats say the U.N. Security Council could also consider barring its airline.A decade of sanctions has not slowed North Korea's nuclear weapons program, and now that it is closer to its goal, diplomats and analysts say it is unlikely to back down.-ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTION-"The U.S. policy of strategic patience on North Korea has assumed that time is on their side - that economic sanctions will eventually lead to the collapse of Kim Jong Un's regime and its economy, and it will come to the negotiating table, no longer able to withstand the economic pain," said Moon Chung-in, a special adviser to South Korea's president on foreign affairs and national security."However, such an assumption has now proven wrong. North Korea's economy has not only adapted quickly to tightening sanctions, but the country has also succeeded in advancing its nuclear weapons programs despite more than a decade of economic hardship."Zhao Tong, a Beijing-based North Korea expert at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center, said Pyongyang may hope Washington ultimately will recognize it has developed a credible nuclear capability, abandon its long-standing precondition for talks - that North Korea accept that they be aimed at its nuclear disarmament - and instead seek the freezing its nuclear program."From the North Korean perspective, their strategy is working," he said.Most experts say it no longer is realistic to think North Korea will trade away its nuclear arsenal in exchange for sanctions relief, economic support, or a peace treaty with the United States ending the formal state of war that has existed since the 1950-53 Korean War.Robert Einhorn, a former senior U.S. non-proliferation specialist now at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington, said North Korea has learned from the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's decision to stop developing weapons of mass destruction "that you can't give up critical assets that you need for your own survival."China has put forth a "freeze-for-freeze" proposal that would suspend large-scale U.S. military exercises with South Korea in return for a suspension of North Korean nuclear and missile tests.Washington continues to reject that idea.But the longer diplomacy is delayed, the greater the chances that North Korea can master the ability to hit the U.S. mainland with nuclear-tipped missiles, and then enter talks from a position of strength.South Korea is keeping open the option of dialogue with North Korea, and hopes Washington and Seoul can develop a diplomatic "roadmap," Cho Hyun, South Korea's second Vice Foreign Minister, said at a seminar in Washington on Tuesday."It may sound unrealistic today, but we cannot abandon it."(Reporting by Matt Spetalnick and David Brunnstrom in Washington; Additional reporting by Jonathan Landay, Arshad Mohammed, Doina Chiacu and David Alexander in Washington, Robin Emmott in Brussels, Soyoung Kim and Heekyong Yang in Seoul, Philip Wen and Christian Shepherd in Beijing and Nobuhiro Kubo and Tim Kelly in Tokyo; Editing by James Dalgleish)
