Belgium: Ukraine violence has no place in modern Europe - Kerry

Belgium: Ukraine violence has no place in modern Europe - Kerry
The Ukrainian government should listen to the demands of protesters calling for greater integration, US Secretary of State John Kerry said at a NATO summit in Brussels Tuesday.
He then continued to say, "The powerful expressions of support for Europe in cities all across the Ukraine have really been quite extraordinary. People of all different backgrounds are giving voice to their very real and very deep aspirations, and we urge the Ukrainian government to listen to the voices of its people that want to live in freedom and in opportunity and prosperity. And we urge all sides to conduct themselves peacefully. Violence has no place in a modern European state. And to work together, we think, that is really the goal that everybody in the Ukraine should be pursuing - work together to get Ukraine back on the road to European integration and to economic health. And we hope that can happen as rapidly as possible."
NATO leaders are meeting Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss a myriad of issues, including Ukraine and ongoing military involvement in Afghanistan. Meetings of the NATO-Russia Council and the NATO-Georgia Commission will be held on the sidelines of the session.


Syrian FM dismisses UN commissioner charges on Assad implication in war crimes

DAMASCUS:  Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad was dismissive of UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay’s remarks that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is implicated in Syria war crimes.
In statements on Tuesday, Mekdad said: “She has been talking nonsense for a long time and we don’t listen to her.”
Mekdad’s remarks came in The Hague during a meeting of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to discuss the effort to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons.
He said that Syria needed more money and equipment from the international community.
He said Syria needed lorries and armored vehicles to transport chemicals to prevent “terrorists” attacking the vehicles on their way to the port of Latakia, where they will be loaded onto a US naval vessel for destruction.
The UN’s human rights chief has said an inquiry has produced evidence that war crimes were authorized in Syria at the “highest level”, including by President Assad.
It is the first time the UN’s human rights office has so directly implicated Assad.
Commissioner Navi Pillay said her office held a list of others implicated by the inquiry.
The UN estimates more than 100,000 people have died in the conflict.
The UN’s commission of inquiry into Syria has produced “massive evidence… [of] very serious crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity,” Pillay said.
“The scale of viciousness of the abuses being perpetrated by elements on both sides almost defies belief,” she said.
The evidence indicated responsibility “at the highest level of government, including the head of state”, she added.
The inquiry has also previously reported it has evidence that rebel forces in Syria have been guilty of human rights abuses.
However, the investigators have always said the Syrian government appears to be responsible for the majority, and that the systematic nature of the abuse points to government policy.

Survey: Corruption grows in Mideast hot spots

BERLIN: An international watchdog group says its annual survey shows the most violent nations in the Middle East are perceived to be the region’s most corrupt and are getting worse.
Transparency International’s 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index ranks more than four-fifths of countries in the Middle East below 50 on a scale where 0 is a country perceived to be highly corrupt and 100 perceived to be very clean.
Three countries that have undergone Arab Spring transformations dropped notably over the past year, with Yemen’s rating falling five points to 18, Syria dropping nine points to 17, and Libya down six points to 15.
The survey of 177 countries is based on local and international experts’ opinions of public-sector corruption. Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia tied for last place with 8 points.

Rajoy advierte que Escocia debe dejar la UE si logra independizarse


Escocia debe quedar fuera de la Unión Europea de aprobarse su independencia en referéndum el próximo año. Así lo ha advertido Mariano Rajoy durante una rueda de prensa con el presidente francés. El presidente del gobierno español ha asegurado desconocer los detalles de la hoja de ruta para la independencia, presentada por el presidente de Escocia este martes. Sin embargo, señaló que los escoceses tienen derecho de estar muy bien informados de las consecuencias de esa secesión. Recordemos que Rajoy se opone firmemente a la convocatoria de una consulta similar sobre la independencia de Cataluña. Escocia podría convertirse en un país independiente el 24 de marzo de 2016 si triunfa el 'sí' en el referéndum que está previsto que se celebre el 18 de septiembre de 2014, según anunció el primer ministro del país, Alex Salmond. Esa es la fecha señalada en el Libro Blanco sobre la independencia, una 'hoja de ruta' que pretende responder a todas las preguntas que se susciten en torno a esta cuestión y que el Gobierno autónomo escocés presentará el próximo martes día 26 en Glasgow, informa el diario estadounidense 'El Nuevo Herald'. El documento, de 670 páginas, constituye una 'guía' sobre la independencia de Escocia en la que se establecen "los argumentos económicos, sociales y democráticos a favor de la independencia", explica la viceministra principal escocesa, Nicola Sturgeon. Sturgeon señaló además que el Libro Blanco "demostrará la fortaleza financiera de Escocia y los detalles de cómo se declararía la independencia, las negociaciones, las preparaciones y los acuerdos que serán necesarios en el período de transición desde el voto del próximo septiembre". Los escoceses mayores de 16 años podrán votar el 18 de septiembre de 2014 en un referéndum sobre el que se planteará una pregunta con un enunciado muy concreto: "¿Debería Escocia ser un país independiente? ¿Sí o no?".

China derribararía cualquier avión que viole normas de zona aérea de defensa


La Fuerza Aérea de China podría derribar cualquier avión extranjero que viole las normas establecidas por Pekín sobre su zona de defensa aérea, informan medios chinos. "La zona facilita la comunicación y la identificación entre las aeronaves extranjeras y la Fuerza Aérea [de China], pero si los pilotos llegan a incursionar en dicho espacio aéreo sin emitir ningún tipo de advertencia, nuestros pilotos tienen el derecho de derribarlo", dijo Qiao Liang, general de la Fuerza Aérea china y profesor de la Universidad de Defensa Nacional, citado por 'South China Morning News'. La semana pasada Pekín estableció una zona de identificación de defensa aérea en el mar de la China Oriental que incluye las islas Diaoyu/Senkaku, que son objeto de disputa territorial entre China y Japón. Esta acción fue vista como una escalada de tensiones entre ambos países y provocó las protestas de Tokio y de Washington, su principal aliado militar.

Desde la sombra (E54). La Ley Patriota y el corto vuelo de la libertad


¿Hasta qué punto la Constitución estadounidense es vigente? Se pregunta Daniel Estulin en su nuevo programa, analizando las consecuencias de La Ley Patriota, promulgada en 2001, después del 11S. La Ley elevaba la capacidad del Estado para vigilar la actividad de personas y reunir información sobre los ciudadanos. Estulin saca la conclusión de que no se trata de que la propia Constitución sea irrelevante, sino que el sistema que la hace cumplir es el que la hace ser irrelevante.

Putin: "No estamos dispuestos a sofocar nuestra economía para gustarle a Bruselas"


"No estamos dispuestos a sofocar nuestra economía para gustarle a Bruselas", señaló Vladímir Putin, en la rueda de prensa en Italia al comentar la pregunta sobre la decisión de Ucrania de no firmar el acuerdo el Acuerdo de Asociación con la UE. El presidente ruso insistió en que el interés ruso por la cuestión de la asociación de Ucrania con la UE es puramente económico, al recordar que entre Rusia y Ucrania rige el tratado sobre la zona de libre comercio. "Debemos separar de la política la cuestión de la asociación de Ucrania con la UE y estar de acuerdo con la propuesta de Yanukóvich [el presidente de Ucrania] de debatir el asunto de forma trilateral entre Rusia, Ucrania y la Unión Europea." Al término de sus negociaciones con el primer ministro de Italia, Enrico Letta, Putin propuso que hombres de negocios de Rusia, Ucrania y la UE mantuvieran "contactos directos". El pasado 21 de noviembre el Gobierno de Ucrania declaró que paraliza las negociaciones para la firma del acuerdo sobre la asociación con la Unión Europea programada para el próximo 29 de noviembre. Las autoridades del país argumentaron su decisión con la necesidad de desarrollar las relaciones económicas y comerciales con los Estados del escenario postsoviético, en particular con Rusia. La oposición convocó acciones multitudinarias en todo el país para protestar contra la decisión.

Situated close to Vladimir Lenin's Mausoleum, the suitcase functions as a museum to fashion, featuring 25 historic chests, 12 video installations, and photographs of 100 legendary trunks designed by the French fashion house. The suitcase is an exact, albeit enlarged, replica of a piece of luggage owned by Russian Prince Vladimir Orlov, who was part of the Imperial family. Although some are enticed by the suitcase, communists have expressed animosity towards the consumerist symbol. Reports suggest the Russian Communist Party intends to file a legal complaint. The suitcase will remain on Red Square until January 15. Support memonews by Subscribing http://www.youtube.com/user/memonews/... Like Us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Videos...

The SPD is reportedly pushing demands for workers' rights as a condition for entering into a power sharing agreement with Merkel's party. The Social Democrats have already secured CDU support for a national minimum wage, and are now aiming for wider regulation of workers' pay.

Эксперт: политика Запада может вызвать еще больший хаос в Ливии


14 погибших и десятки раненых — таковы последствия последнего столкновения между правительственными войсками и ополченцами в ливийском городе Бенгази. На прошлой неделе еще 46 человек были убиты в Триполи. По некоторым подсчетам, в Ливии действуют до 1700 группировок повстанцев, преследующих разные цели. Это затрудняет восстановление страны после свержения режима Муаммара Каддафи и гражданской войны. Редактор панафриканского информагентства Абайоми Азикиве считает, что постоянное вмешательство из-за рубежа только добавляет стране проблем.

Egypt Bans Protests


"Egypt's military-backed government has issued a law that all but bans street protests by applying jail time or heavy fines to the public demonstrations that have felled the last two presidents and regularly roiled the capital since the Arab Spring revolt. The new law, promulgated on Sunday, is the latest evidence of a return to authoritarianism in the aftermath of the military takeover that removed President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in July. It criminalizes the kind of free assembly and public expression that many Egyptians had embraced as a cherished foundation of their new democracy after the 2011 ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. And the relatively muted outcry against the law, mainly from human rights advocates, demonstrated how far public sentiment has swung...".* John Iadarola (TYT University and Common Room), Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report), Eboni K.

"Con la amenaza de Irán levantada, el escudo antimisiles apunta a Rusia"


La OTAN no pretende reconsiderar los planes para el despliegue del escudo antimisiles en Europa pese a que teóricamente se aflojó la tensión sobre Irán con el acuerdo alcanzado en Ginebra la semana pasada. Así reveló este lunes una fuente en la Alianza del Atlántico, citada por la agencia Interfax. Esto entra en contradicción con lo declarado por varios representantes de los países miembros de la Alianza, que anteriormente enfatizaron que la razón del despliegue del complejo cerca de las fronteras rusas era el programa nuclear de Teherán. "Esto demuestra que tanto EE.UU. como Europa nunca consideraron a Irán como la verdadera excusa para justificar el espacio de exclusión aérea, el escudo antimisiles que amenaza principalmente a Rusia", asegura el politólogo Basem Tajeldine. Según él, ahora que se les ha derrumbado la excusa de Irán, se inventarán seguramente otras cosas, como la amenaza de Corea del Norte. "Dentro del escudo existen grandes intereses económicos del complejo industrial militar de EE.UU. y Europa que ellos no van a ceder, ya que pretenden mantener su política de contención y amenaza contra Rusia y también contra China", resaltó el experto. Este lunes el canciller ruso, Serguéi Lavrov, afirmó que una vez firmado el acuerdo con Irán sobre su programa nuclear, EE.UU. ya no tiene ningún fundamento formal para seguir insistiendo en el despliegue de su escudo antimisiles en Europa.

Evolution Battle In Kansas... Again!


"An anti-evolution group is suing the Kansas State Board of Education for instituting a science curriculum that teaches evolution. The nonprofit Citizens for Objective Public Education filed a lawsuit Thursday to block the board, education commissioner and Department of Education from teaching science classes consistent with new educational benchmarks developed by 26 states to align school systems across the U.S. These Next Generation Science Standards, which Kansas adopted in June, have seen fierce opposition from critics opposed to the teaching of climate change and evolution.

Gitmo a go go: Guantanamo’s home away from home (for troops only)

A lot of Gitmo info is classified. But as RT’s crew found out, some of it is secret even for those serving at the facility. Discover why iguanas get special treatment there, and who servicemen can’t date in a special RT report from Guantanamo.
The notorious military facility is known for alleged tortures of detainees, with some of prisoners still held behind bars without charge. Among the latest incidents, it’s emerged that US military doctors took part in torture sessions on inmates.

Although the military are provided with everything they need, from state-of-the-art sports centers to Taco Bell and Starbucks - right inside the facility - there are downsides the service personnel point out.

For one, a lack of information from the outside world. Many of the TV programs broadcast here are army-focused, and the internet is almost non-existent. The RT crew has also been told that those serving at the base are forbidden to go to websites like WikiLeaks.

Another hot issue is, unexpectedly, iguanas. The life of one animal is worth more here than the life of a prisoner, with the fine for running over an iguana set at $10,000.

Officials, though, tend to showcase to journalists how people are well-kept and entertained in Guantanamo.

The daily life of a Guantanamo detainee depends on his compliance. A cooperative inmate is allowed to have eight books, toothpaste and shampoo, while a less compliant one has to wear an orange uniform and gets only two books at a time.

The prisoners can’t enter the library, which displays some of the art they’ve done over the years. Shelves are packed with DVDs, video games, and magazines. The facility provides a lot of pre-selected books which avoid certain topics: violence, sex, militantly religious…anything controversial.

RT’s crew also toured the Guantanamo military base, discovering how the Gitmo’s big bosses keep up morale of those serving.

The 116 sq km military base, with 5,500 people living and working inside, is in fact full of signs of established American life. It’s home to the only McDonalds on Cuban soil, plus a Subway sandwich outlet.

“You’ve got invested financial interest there, you’ve got Pizza Hut and you’ve got Starbucks, and you’ve got all these other places that help to set up a logistical support for the troops that are all over there,” Moazzam Beg, a former Gitmo prisoner, told RT.

Most officers come here short-term for up to nine months, or longer deployments of two to three years. However, it turns out that despite being away from home, their lives aren’t put on hold.

“You can’t date certain people, but you can certainly have. If it’s within your rank system, then you’re allowed to,” Danielle Heinz, who serves as a guard in Camp 6, said to RT.

Plus, there are plenty of things to do during free time. There’s ‘Downtown Lyceum’, an open-air movie theater playing all the hottest Hollywood blockbusters, and there’s almost every sport known to man available at the ‘Team Gitmo’ sports facility. There’s also ‘Tiki Bar’ to let loose at after work – which, according to some, isn’t too hard.

However, despite the bright picture that MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation), the body that takes care of military’s leisure, paints there are controversies surrounding the facility, and some of them are century-long.

The US government has been leasing the territory where Guantanamo is now situated since 1903 for just over $4500 – which is, surprisingly, still the price nowadays, RT’s Anastasia Churkina reports. It’s said, though, that the Cuban government has been refusing to accept the money for decades.

“The Castro government said, ‘We don’t want this lease anymore,’ and the US position was that it’s a binding lease, and in the lease it actually says that it can’t be broken unless both sides, both countries, agree to that. That strikes me as a very odd contract,” Martha Rainer, a Guantanamo detainee lawyer, told RT.

Our business doesn’t depend on collecting personal data – Apple

Apple’s transparency report on governmental data requests assures the company mostly helps investigating criminal offences, such as thefts of Apple products. The company complains of a ‘gag order’ banning disclosure of number and core of such requests.
The report - supposed to give Apple customers a better idea as to under which conditions their personal data can be handed over to government intelligence agencies - calls for more transparency and measures to counter the negative effects of Edward Snowden’s revelations.
Following shocking publications by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Snowden, Apple Inc. suffered a number of accusations that some of its products are dual-purpose.
Just in October, Anonymous hacking group accused Apple’s Touch ID sensor of sending people’s fingerprints directly to the NSA.
So the company, whose name has been mentioned along with Facebook, Google, Microsoft and other IT giants in practically all news about the NSA global spying, has rushed to sooth the privacy pains of its customers.
The Apple’s seven-page report on data requests from government bodies covers a relatively short period, the six months from January 1, 2013, to June 30, 2013.
Apple has officially admitted that it cooperates with law enforcement, both in the US and abroad, though it claims it fully controls the process and is capable of denying sharing information with the government.
Apple assures it is not “amassing personal information,” such as location data, Map searches or Siri requests, because this is none of the company’s business. Steve Jobs’ successors have no doubt that “innovative security solutions,” such as the Find My iPhone tracking program and Touch ID fingerprint verification protocol adopted on iPhone 5 make this world “more secure and more convenient.”
The report explains that there are two types of request existing: account requests and device requests. It is the first type’s statistics that US law enforcement prefers to keep secret. The account request means Apple is demanded to share personal information entered by client to an account, whereas a device request is brought in when some kind of an Apple device is stolen or lost and is being searched for.
“The US government does not allow Apple to disclose, except in broad ranges, the number of national security orders, the number of accounts affected by the orders, or whether content, such as emails, was disclosed,” the report says, claiming that in the given period of time the company received between 1,000 and 2,000 official US government requests.
"We strongly oppose this gag order," the document said.
“We believe that dialogue and advocacy are the most productive way to bring about a change in these policies, rather than filing a lawsuit against the US government,” the report said, informing that Apple has “filed an Amicus brief at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court) in support of a group of cases requesting greater transparency.”
Though the electronics giant complains about the US government’s ‘gag order’ prohibiting it from publicizing the exact number and nature of government data requests, the data presented in the report is quite telling.
The request statistics published in the report’s two charts - account and device requests respectively - reveals that American law enforcement has requested personal data from Apple on a couple of thousand occasions at the most in the first half of 2013. And that during that time in all of the US there were 3,542 cases of Apple devices lost or stolen, totaling 8,605 separate items. However Apple proudly informs that it agreed to co-operate on a mere 3,110 device requests. It is not clear why the company refused to help finding almost two-thirds of the stolen goods.
The statistics for requests outside the US is many times smaller. The largest numbers of account requests, 127 of them, were received from the UK, and the company claims that only in only 37 percent of the cases some information was disclosed.
“When we receive such a demand, our legal team carefully reviews the order. If there is any question about the legitimacy or scope of the court order, we challenge it. Only when we are satisfied that the court order is valid and appropriate do we deliver the narrowest possible set of information responsive to the request,” the report says.
Moreover, the company refused to have anything to do with the notorious Patriot Act that enabled surveillance on the US citizens after the 9/11 attacks.
“Apple has never received an order under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. We would expect to challenge such an order if served on us,” is specifically stressed in the report.
The first major hit of Edward Snowden’s revelations has been the world learning the fact that America’s National Security Agency has direct access to servers of giants like Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Apple.
Though the latest Apple report finally admits the fact that the company does cooperate with the US government agencies on a lawful basis, the document doesn’t contain a single word about the NSA having direct access to company’s databases, an activity for which it wouldn’t have to ask for corporate approval.
While from the very beginning Apple denied any knowledge about such access to its servers existing, it never presented solid proof of its position.
