Investigators say voice recording from EgyptAir crash intact-[The Associated Press]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
CAIRO - Egyptian investigators said Saturday they would be able to access the cockpit voice recordings of the EgyptAir flight that crashed in May despite damage to the black box."None of the memory chips of the electronic board were damaged," the Egyptians participating in the examination of the device in France said in a statement, adding that only some connecting components had to be replaced."Test results were satisfactory as (they) enabled the reading of the recorders of the CVR memory unit," they added. The Egyptians now plan to bring the recorder to Cairo for further analysis.The flight from Paris to Cairo crashed into the Mediterranean on May 19, killing all 66 people on board. The pilots made no distress call, and no militant group has claimed to have brought the aircraft down.The flight data recorder shows that there was smoke in the lavatory and onboard equipment, and investigators say they have found heat damage on parts of the wreckage recovered from the Mediterranean Sea floor last month.The bulk of the wreckage is believed to be at a depth of about 3,000 metres (9,800 feet). Deep ocean search teams are still working to find and recover human remains.French authorities opened a manslaughter inquiry on Monday, but said there is no evidence so far to link the crash to terrorism.EgyptAir Flight 804 disappeared from radar at about 2:45 a.m. local time between the Greek island of Crete and the Egyptian coast.Radar data showed the aircraft had been cruising normally in clear skies before it turned 90 degrees left, then spun 360 degrees to the right as it plummeted from 38,000 feet (11,582 metres) to 15,000 feet (4,572 metres). It disappeared when it was at an altitude of about 10,000 feet (3,048 metres).

Bangladesh hunts hostage crisis clues, investigates IS claim-[The Canadian Press]-The Associated Press-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DHAKA, Bangladesh - Security officials searched on Sunday for evidence and the possible masterminds of the weekend hostage-taking in an upscale restaurant in Bangladesh's capital. The government has denied the Islamic State group's claim of responsibility for the attack that left 28 dead, including six attackers and 20 of the hostages.Police released photographs of the bodies of five attackers, along with their first names: Akash, Badhon, Bikash, Don and Ripon. The men belonged to the banned domestic group Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, or JMB, and their families hadn't heard from them in months, according to police. Asked whether they might also have had Islamic State ties, Police Inspector General A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque said authorities were investigating that possibility.Despite the police saying IS links were being investigated, the home minister refuted the possibility that the Islamic State directed the attack from abroad. Bangladesh's government insists the extremist Sunni Muslim group based in Syria and Iraq has no presence in the country, and in the past has suggested that any claims of responsibility for violence waged in the South Asian country are simply opportunistic attempts at grabbing global attention."They are all Bangladeshis. They are from rich families, they have good educational background," Khan said of the attackers. One surviving suspect was detained when paramilitary forces ended the 10-hour standoff Saturday morning, and authorities said he was being interrogated.The siege marked an escalation in the militant violence that has hit Bangladesh with increasing frequency. Most of the attacks in the past several months have involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners and religious minorities.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has blamed her political opponents of trying to create chaos by backing domestic militants."Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such an act," Hasina said Saturday. "They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism."On Sunday morning, the first of two days of national mourning for the victims, police were blocking all access to streets near the Holey Artisan Bakery where the siege occurred. Investigators from both Bangladesh and Japan visited the restaurant to collect evidence.The 20 hostages who were killed included nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and one Indian teenager. Two police officers were killed by the attackers, and 13 people were rescued when commandos stormed the restaurant Saturday morning. Another 25 officers and one civilian were wounded, though hospitals would not give fresh information on their conditions.The attack was the worst in the recent series of attacks by radical Islamists in the moderate, mostly Muslim nation of 160 million. Unlike the previous attacks, the assailants were well-prepared and heavily armed with guns, bombs and sharp objects that police later said were used to torture some of the 35 captives.That the attackers targeted a popular restaurant in the heart of the diplomatic quarter of Bangladesh's capital signalled a change in tactics. The restaurant overlooking a lake serves Spanish food and is patronized by residents of Gulshan, an affluent neighbourhood where most of the foreign embassies are located.The hostages were asked to recite verses from the Qur’an, to prove themselves Muslim, according to a witness. Those who passed were allowed to eat. Those who failed were tortured and slain.Western embassies issued travel warnings to their citizens, advising those in the country to be vigilant and avoid places frequented by foreigners in the diplomatic zone. The U.S. Embassy also urged its citizens and personnel to avoid travelling on foot or in open vehicles exposed to potential attackers.In its claim of responsibility, the Islamic State group said its operatives had targeted the citizens of "Crusader countries" in the attack, warning that citizens of such countries would not be safe "as long as their warplanes kill Muslims." The statement was circulated in a manner consistent with past IS claims of responsibility.The Amaq news agency, affiliated with IS, also published photos of five smiling young men, each holding what appear to be assault rifles and posing in front of a black IS flag, and identified them as the restaurant attackers, according to the SITE Intelligence Service, which monitors jihadi online activity. The men in those photographs appeared to match the bodies shown in police images of the dead assailants in the restaurant after the hostage crisis ended.Amaq identified the five by noms de guerre indicating they were all Bangladeshis. It said the fighters used "knives, cleavers, assault rifles and hand grenades," and had "verified" the identities of the hostages in order to spare the Muslims and kill the foreigners.___Associated Press writers Katy Daigle and Nirmala George in New Delhi, Ken Moritsugu in Tokyo, and Krishan Francis in Colombo, Sri Lanka, contributed to this report
Bangladeshis behind restaurant killings, international link probed-[By Ruma Paul]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DHAKA (Reuters) - Seven militants who killed 20 people at a restaurant in Dhaka were local Bangladeshis and authorities had tried before to arrest five of them, police said, as investigators probed for possible links with international Islamist extremist groups.The gunmen stormed the upmarket restaurant in the diplomatic zone late on Friday, before killing mostly non-Muslim hostages, including at least nine Italians, seven Japanese and an American.Islamic State claimed responsibility, warning citizens of "crusader countries" that their citizens would not be safe "as long as their aircraft are killing Muslims", the group said in a statement. It also posted pictures of five fighters grinning in front of a black flag who it said were involved in the attack, according to the SITE monitoring website.The claims have not been confirmed, but Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told Reuters late on Saturday that neither Islamic State nor al Qaeda was involved. He reiterated the government's line that home-grown militants were responsible for a spate of killings in the country over the past 18 months."This was done by JMB," Khan said, referring to Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh, which claims to represent Islamic State in Bangladesh.Analysts say that as Islamic State loses territory in Iraq and Syria and its finances get drained, it may be trying to build affiliates in countries such as Bangladesh for jihadists to launch attacks locally and cheaply.-RICH FAMILIES-Deputy inspector general of police, Shahidur Rahman, told Reuters on Sunday authorities were investigating any connection between the attackers and trans-national groups such as Islamic State or al Qaeda.He said the militants were mostly educated and from rich families, but declined to give any more details.National police chief Shahidul Hoque said all the gunmen were Bangladeshi."Five of them were listed as militants and law enforcers made several drives to arrest them," Hoque told reporters in Dhaka late on Saturday.Whoever was responsible, the attack marked a major escalation in violence by militants who have demanded Islamic rule in Bangladesh, whose 160 million people are mostly Muslim.Previous attacks have mostly singled out individuals advocating a secular or liberal lifestyle or religious minorities.-RECITING KORAN VERSE-Friday night's attack, during the final days of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, was more coordinated than the previous assaults.Gunmen singled out foreigners as soon as they stormed through the doors of the restaurant popular with expatriates. They ordered all Bangladeshis to stand up before the killing began, a source briefed on the investigation said. The Bangladeshis were later told to close their eyes and recite verses from the Koran and one militant cursed at a Bangladeshi for eating with non-Muslims during Ramadan, the source said.The Islamic State-affiliated Amaq news agency claimed in a report on Saturday the militants identified and released Muslim patrons from the Dhaka restaurant, SITE said.The victims also included at least three Bangladeshis or people of Bangladeshi descent.The militants hacked most of their victims with machetes, leaving their bodies to bleed over the floor.A 12-hour standoff with security forces ended when around 100 commandos stormed the building, killing six of the militants and capturing a seventh after attempts at negotiations proved fruitless, authorities said. They recovered explosives and sharp weapons from the scene.It was not clear if the attackers had made any demands.-HOME-GROWN GROUPS-Up until Friday's attack, authorities had maintained no operational links exist between Bangladeshi militants and international jihadi networks. Bangladesh has blamed JMB and another home-grown outfit for the wave of grisly killings over the past year and a half.One line of inquiry being pursued is whether the restaurant attackers received any guidance from Islamic State or al Qaeda, an official in Bangladesh's counter-terrorism wing said."Pictures (uploaded on Twitter) indicate they might have been encouraged by ISIS (Islamic State) activities abroad," said Muhammad Zamir, a former senior Bangladesh foreign ministry official. "But this does not show a direct link to ISIS. This is exactly what was done and disputed later in the case of the Orlando attack."He was referring to the killing of 49 people last month by a man who pledged allegiance to Islamic State.Friday's attack in Dhaka was the worst since 2005, when JMB set off a series of bombs throughout Bangladesh in the space of an hour killing at least 25 people, mostly judges, police and journalists.The authorities executed six top JMB leaders in March 2007 and police have continued to hunt for group members, often detaining suspected militants following intelligence tips.In February, Bangladesh police arrested three JMB members suspected of killing a Hindu priest.Islamic state has claimed responsibility for a series of other attacks in Bangladesh in recent months since first taking credit for a killing in September last year. An Italian missionary was shot and wounded in the neck last November. Another Italian and a Japanese citizen were killed in attacks at the end of September and early October last year.-SAVE ME, SAVE ME-In a run-down government hospital in Dhaka, two police officers who were on patrol duty on Friday night received treatment for gunshot wounds, with bandages and plasters on cheeks and legs. Behind their beds, a sheet of paper carried details of their wounds.Struggling to speak, 30-year-old officer Pradip, who gave just one name, recalled rushing to the spot after receiving a wireless message that night. A blood-smeared man lay in front of the restaurant, shouting "save me, save me".The police officers called for backup after they were shot at from inside the restaurant."At some point I felt blood was rolling down my cheek," Pradip said. "We did respond with fire and the attackers stopped. We then rescued the man, who was the driver of some of the Japanese citizens who were inside."After meeting the officers in the hospital, national police chief A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque told Reuters they had gleaned some preliminary details on the identities of the attackers, but he declined to give details.-GARMENT INDUSTRY-The seven Japanese killed were working on projects involving the Japan International Cooperation Agency, an overseas aid agency, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said on Saturday.Six of them were in Dhaka to work on a metrorail project, Bangladesh's communication minister, Obaidul Quader, said.Italian media said several of the Italians victims worked in Bangladesh's $26 billion garment sector, which accounts for 80 percent of its exports.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced two days of national mourning beginning on Sunday and said the country would stand up and fight the "terror threat".(Additional reporting by Serajul Quadir and Aditya Kalra in DHAKA.

Beheaded Canadian's body dug up in southern Philippines-[The Canadian Press]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
MANILA, Philippines - Philippine troops on Saturday dug up what they believe is the body of Canadian hostage Robert Hall, who was beheaded by Abu Sayyaf extremists more than two weeks ago in the south after a ransom deadline lapsed.Villagers led the troops to a hinterland near Kamuntayan village in Sulu province's Talipao town where the militants buried Hall's body after killing him on June 13. Hall's head was found abandoned outside a Roman Catholic cathedral, regional military spokesman Maj. Filemon Tan said.Chances were high that it was Hall's body, Tan said, citing intelligence reports and help from villagers. Police forensic experts would confirm the identity, he said.Hall was kidnapped with fellow Canadian John Ridsdel, Norwegian Kjartan Sikkengstad and Filipino Marites Flor in September last year in a yacht-berthing resort on Samal Island, also in the south and taken by boat to Sulu, a predominantly Muslim and impoverished province 950 kilometres south of Manila.Ridsdel had also been beheaded, Sikkengstad remains in Abu Sayyaf custody and Flor has been freed.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the killings and called on other nations not to pay ransoms if their citizens are abducted to discourage the militants from carrying out more ransom kidnappings.Philippine troops have been carrying out an offensive that has killed dozens of militants in Sulu.The Abu Sayyaf, which has more than 400 armed fighters, is blacklisted by the United States and the Philippines as a terrorist group for bombings, kidnappings for ransom, beheadings and extortion. The militants have been weakened by years of battle setbacks but remain a national security threat.
German arms exports almost doubled in 2015: report-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
BERLIN (Reuters) - German arms exports almost doubled last year to their highest level since the beginning of this century, a German newspaper said on Sunday, citing a report from the Economy Ministry that is due to be presented to the cabinet on Wednesday.Newspaper Welt am Sonntag said the value of individual approvals granted for exporting arms was 7.86 billion euros ($8.75 billion) last year compared with 3.97 billion euros worth of arms exports in 2014.It said the Economy Ministry had pointed to special factors that boosted arms exports such as the approval of four tanker aircraft for Britain worth 1.1 billion euros.It also pointed to the approval of battle tanks and tank howitzers along with munitions and accompanying vehicles worth 1.6 billion euros for Qatar - a controversial deal that the report said was approved in 2013 by the previous government.The Economy Ministry declined to comment on the report.In February German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said preliminary figures showed that Germany had given approval for around 7.5 billion euros worth of arms shipments in 2015.The Federal Office for Economics and Export Control (Bafa), a subsidiary of the economy ministry, is responsible for licensing arms export deals and Gabriel had promised to take a much more cautious approach to licensing arms exports, especially with regard to the Middle East.Germany is one of the world's main arms exporters to EU and NATO countries and has been cutting its sales of light weapons outside those states.Last year the government rejected 100 applications for arms export approvals – the same number as in the previous year, Welt am Sonntag reported. It said Berlin had given 12,687 applications the green light in 2015 – 597 more than in the previous year.(Reporting by Michelle Martin; Editing by Elaine Hardcastle)
Nusra captures leader, fighters of Western-backed rebels in northern Syria-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
AMMAN (Reuters) - Syria's al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front has abducted the commander of the Western-backed Jaish al-Tahrir brigade, along with several of his aides and scores of fighters in coordinated raids in northern Syria, Jaish al Tahrir said on Sunday.Jaish al Tahrir was set up in February as part of an effort to forge unity among moderate rebels in the Free Syrian Army (FSA) alliance at a time when a major Islamic State advance threatened their main stronghold near the Turkish border.The powerful Islamist Nusra Front is ideologically opposed to the more moderate FSA rebels and their Western supporters, but occasionally fights alongside them against Islamist State.Jaish al Tahrir, which has 4,000 well trained fighters, said their leader Mohammad al Ghabi and a number of his aides were taken in a house raid in Kfr Nubl in Idlib province Saturday night."They were injured and kidnapped and taken to an unknown location," Jaish al Tahrir said in a statement.Nusra Front fighters stormed several locations in coordinated raids and set up checkpoints to arrest around 40 fighters, the group said.The Nusra Front has previously targeted rebel groups supported by the West, leading to the dissolution of the Syria Revolutionaries Front and the Hazzm movement last year.In March, the al Qaeda offshoot seized the bases and weapons of the 13th Division rebel group, one of the factions that has received foreign military aid, capturing U.S.-made anti-tank missiles.Jaish al Tahrir called on Syria's main rebel groups al Ahrar al Sham and others to put pressure on Nusra to release their leader and prevent an escalation in tensions.They also said they wanted a judicial court that would arbitrate their differences. Nusra Front has accused leaders of Jaish al Tahrir of participating in a U.S.-led programme to train and equip Syrian insurgents to fight Islamic State. Nusra Front regards the United States as an enemy.Jaish al Tahrir called on restraint by its fighters on their main fronts in northern Syria near the Turkish border where they are battling Islamic State militants and fighting the Syrian government army and allied Iranian-backed militias in Aleppo countryside and Latakia province.(Reporting by Suleiman Al-Khalidi; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
Iraqi officials: 83 people killed in 2 bombings in Baghdad-[The Canadian Press]-Murtada Faraj, The Associated Press-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
BAGHDAD - At least 83 people have been killed and 176 wounded in two separate bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital Sunday morning, Iraqi officials said.In the deadliest attack, a car bomb hit Karada, a busy shopping district in the centre of Baghdad, killing 78 people and wounding 160, according to police and hospital officials. It struck as families and young people were out on the streets after breaking their daylight fast for the holy month of Ramadan.The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the bombing in a statement posted online, saying they had deliberately targeted Shiite Muslims. The statement could not be independently verified.At dawn Sunday, fire fighters were still working to extinguish the blazes and bodies were still being recovered from charred buildings. Many of the dead were children, according to Associated Press reporters at the scene. Ambulances could be heard rushing to the site for hours after the blast. An eyewitness said the explosion caused fires at nearby clothing and cellphone shops.Hours after the bombing, Iraq's prime minister visited the blast site. Video footage uploaded to social media showed an angry crowd, with people calling Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi a "thief" and shouting at his convoy.In the second attack, an improvised explosive device went off in eastern Baghdad, killing 5 people and wounding 16. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.The casualty figures were confirmed by police and hospital officials, who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to release information to the press.The Baghdad attacks come just over a week after Iraqi forces declared the city of Fallujah "fully liberated" from IS. Over the past year, Iraqi forces have racked up territorial gains against IS, retaking the city of Ramadi and the towns of Hit and Rutba, all in Iraq's vast Anbar province west of Baghdad.Despite the government's battlefield victories, IS has repeatedly shown it remains capable of launching attacks far from the front-lines.Before the launch of the operation to retake Fallujah, Iraq's prime minister was facing growing social unrest and anti-government protests in Baghdad sparked in part by popular anger at the lack of security in the capital. In one month, Baghdad's highly-fortified Green Zone — which houses government buildings and diplomatic missions — was stormed twice by anti-government protesters.IS still controls Iraq's second largest city of Mosul as well as significant patches of territory in the country's north and west.At the height of the extremist group's power in 2014, IS rendered nearly a third of the country out of government control. Now, the militants are estimated to control only 14 per cent of Iraqi territory, according to the office of Iraq's prime minister.___Associated Press writers Ali Abdulhassan and Khalid Mohammed in Baghdad and Maamoun Youssef in Cairo contributed to this report.
UAE tells citizens to avoid national dress while abroad after man held in U.S.-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DUBAI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has urged men to avoid wearing the white robes, headscarf and headband of the national dress when traveling abroad, after a businessman visiting the United States was wrestled to the ground and held as an Islamic State suspect.UAE media reported that the Emirati man was detained in Avon, Ohio, last week after a female clerk at a local hotel called 911 to report what she had described as a man affiliated to Islamic State, according to the Arabic-language al-Bayan newspaper. It only identified him by his initials.The English language The National said the receptionist at the Fairfield Inn hotel called the police after she heard the man talking on his phone in the hotel lobby.Gulf News, another UAE newspaper, published photos of the Emirati man in white robes being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed before being led away by police.In a message on a Foreign Ministry Twitter account focusing on citizens traveling abroad, the ministry said on Saturday:"For citizens traveling outside the country, and in order to ensure their safety, we point out not to wear formal dress while traveling, especially in public places," the message dated July 2 stated, without referring to the Avon incident.The Foreign Ministry, in a message posted on its website in Arabic and English, urged citizens to abide by the laws of countries they are visiting. It alerted women to countries in Europe whose laws prohibit wearing of face covers, also without referring to the incident in Avon.Local newspapers said Avon police released the man after they realized their mistake, but he fainted and needed hospital treatment.Al-Bayan reported that the citizen had hired a lawyer to pursue the case, saying he had received no apology from either the police or the hotel.(Reporting by Sami Aboudi; Editing by Hugh Lawson)
Eighteen injured in Mecca stampede: Saudi media-[AFP]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Riyadh (AFP) - Eighteen pilgrims have been injured in a stampede near Islam's holiest site, Saudi media reported on Saturday, as the kingdom continues to review safety after a deadly crush during last year's hajj.The incident happened on Friday night near the Grand Mosque in Mecca, the Al-Riyadh newspaper said, as Muslims gathered in large numbers to mark the Night of Destiny, one of the high points of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.All the injured were treated at the scene and none required admission to hospital, the newspaper cited a health official as saying.Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims flock to Mecca to carry out the lesser umra pilgrimage during Ramadan -- especially during its last 10 days.They include the Night of Destiny, when the angel Gabriel is believed to have given the Prophet Mohammed the verses of the Koran.The incident comes as Saudi authorities continue to unveil new safety measures for this year's hajj in September.A crush at last year's hajj killed more than 2,000 pilgrims in the worst disaster to ever strike the annual ritual.According to figures from foreign officials, at least 2,297 pilgrims died. Saudi Arabia issued a death toll of 769.Newspapers reported on Friday that, among new security measures, hajj pilgrims this year will have to wear an electronic safety bracelet to store their personal information, including address and medical records.The hajj and umra pilgrimages bring millions of Muslims to the holy places in Saudi Arabia every year.
Trudeau called on to retract 'one nation' Canada Day message-[CBC]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
A candidate in the Parti Québecois leadership race is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to retract his reference to "one nation," made during his Canada Day address.Martine Ouellet, a former Quebec cabinet minister, shared a video of the address on her Facebook page on Saturday.Trudeau tells Canadians that "Today, we celebrate the day, exactly 149 years ago, when the people of this great land came together, and forged one nation, one country – Canada."Ouellet accuses Trudeau of "reinventing history" by referring to one nation. "It's an direct insult to the Quebec nation, an insult to everything our heritage represents," Ouellet wrote in the post. "Justin Trudeau has to retract and recognize the Quebec nation."Is Quebec a nation? Whether Quebec constitutes a nation has long been a source of controversy. The question is related to the province's constitutional status and was at the heart of the failed Meech Lake Accord.In 2006, then prime minister Stephen Harper introduced a motion calling on the House of Commons to recognize that "Québécois form a nation within a united Canada."The motion passed by a large majority, though there were several holdouts within the Liberal party, which was holding its own leadership race at the time. At the time, Trudeau, who was not yet an MP, criticized Michael Ignatieff for endorsing the motion. Trudeau ended up backing Gerard Kennedy in the leadership race, which was eventually won by Stéphane Dion. Kennedy also opposed the motion. Trudeau had claimed that his father, the late prime minister, would never have supported recognition of Quebec as a nation.In her Facebook post, Ouellet linked Trudeau's position to his father's."Trudeau's true face was revealed yesterday," she wrote. "From father to son, it's the same difference."Ouellet is one of five candidates vying to replace Pierre Karl Péladeau as PQ leader. The winner will be announced October 7.
We’re going to the convention’: Bernie Sanders continues fundraising as campaign fades-Caitlin Dickson-Breaking News Reporter-July 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign is still raising funds from supporters despite the fact that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton essentially locked up the nomination weeks ago.Sanders’ campaign fired off multiple fundraising requests to supporters on Thursday, ahead of the Federal Election Committee’s final fundraising deadline. “We’re going to the convention,” one email declared, referring to the Democratic National Convention later this month.“When our delegates gather in Philadelphia, they’ll have the chance to put the Democratic Party on the record about stopping votes against the TPP, fighting for a $15 federal minimum wage, opposing fracking, and so many more progressive priorities,” Sanders’ campaign manager wrote to supporters on Thursday night-“Our campaign has earned the right to send almost 1,900 delegates to vote on these important issues, but many of them are working folks and the costs of attending the convention are too high,” read another email. “So I want to help them get there, because this campaign isn’t about Bernie Sanders, it’s about all of us.”Sanders mounted a stronger-than-expected campaign in the Democratic primary. The last contest was on June 12, and a week before that contest, Clinton obtained the necessary delegates to become the nominee.Sanders, who has steadfastly refused to concede the race, has started signaling that he’s moving toward endorsing Clinton. Last week, Sanders said “yes” when asked if he will end up voting for her.“I’m going to do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump,” he said.Still, Sanders seems determined to hang onto his candidacy for as long as possible. While he told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Thursday evening that — contrary to what Trump has been saying — “I do not hate Secretary Clinton,” Sanders also pushed back against comments made earlier in the day by Vice President Joe Biden, who told NPR he’s confident “Bernie’s going to endorse her.”“Right now, my hope is that we can reach an agreement on some very important issues and I can go forward to the millions of people who supported me and say, ‘Look, this is the progress that you’ve made. This is where we’re going to go as a country,‘” Sanders said. “So, I hope it happens. As of this moment, we’re not there quite yet.”

China to hold drills in South China Sea ahead of court ruling-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will hold military drills around the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, the maritime safety administration said on Sunday, ahead of a decision by an international court in a dispute between China and the Philippines.China routinely carries out exercises in the South China Sea, where its territorial claims overlap in parts with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.Tensions have been rising ahead of a July 12 ruling by an arbitration court hearing the dispute between China and the Philippines over the South China Sea in the Dutch city of The Hague.In a brief online statement, China's maritime safety administration said the drills would take place from July 5-11, and gave coordinates for the drills that cover an area from the east of China's Hainan island down to and including the Paracels.Other ships are prohibited from entering those waters during that time, it said, without further elaboration.The Paracels are also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan.China has built a runway on Woody Island, the site of the largest Chinese presence on the Paracels, and placed surface-to-air missiles there, according to U.S. officials.China says it is perfectly within its rights to do what it wants on the islands in the South China Sea, saying they have been Chinese territory since ancient times.About $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year though the energy-rich, strategic waters of the South China Sea.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Nick Macfie)

At least 40 feared dead in rains, landslides in northern India-[By Malini Menon]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - At least 40 people were feared dead following a downpour that triggered flash floods and landslides in northern Indian Uttarakhand state over the weekend, a state official said.Several more people were still missing, a spokesman at the state chief minister's office, Om Prakash Sati, said on Sunday, with remote Chamoli and Pithoragarh being the worst affected districts in the state.The state has so far confirmed 18 deaths, of whom 15 were from Pithoragarh. The official toll was expected to rise.Thousands were feared stranded as landslides blocked hundreds of roads. The state authorities have asked people in low lying areas to evacuate as a precautionary measure, he said.Relief operations are under way, but incessant rains have hampered efforts and raised fears of flooding as rivers were close to their danger levels, Sati said."There is no need to panic," Uttarakhand's chief minister Harish Rawat told reporters, adding, more teams from the state, central authorities, and other relief forces have all been kept on high alert as a precautionary measure.Several damaged roads have also been repaired, Rawat said.(Editing by Keith Weir)

Pride is political': More than a cute slogan for city Coun. Kristyn Wong-Tam-[CBC]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
"'Pride is political."-Kristyn Wong-Tam was sporting a grey tank top with those three words in neon pink at the Dyke March Saturday.But it's more than just a catchy slogan for the openly gay Toronto city councillor. And it packs added significance in light of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau becoming the first prime minister to participate in Toronto's Pride Parade today."The Pride Parade is always political so he's exactly where he needs to be," Wong-Tam told CBC News. "It's a very important symbolic gesture. We want to make sure (Trudeau's) here especially if he's trying to set a new tone for the country, a country that is accepting of all its diverse people, a country that actually celebrates diversity, and a country that promotes human rights."Wong-Tam believes "visibility is what keeps our community strong.""When people are in the closet or can't live their lives as freely as they need to, they don't reach their full potential and they live in fear and they live in fear of persecution and rejection," she said. "So, being able to be part of the community is everything."Wong-Tam spoke candidly about her fiancée Farrah Khan feeling fearful following the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando last month."That morning, when we both woke up and saw the headlines that there was this incredible tragedy, we were overwhelmed with sadness," she said. "We didn't know the motivation of the shooter so there was also an element of fear."I remember her saying to me, 'Are they going to come and get us?' And I held her and we both cried."She explained that she introduced Khan as her "queer Muslim fiancee" at a vigil following the massacre because she "wanted to offer the community a sense of honesty and raw emotion. We, too, were scared, we were upset and angry."Wong-Tam described the gay community as strong and resilient, adding that "we come together in times of hurt and pain, and we've done that time and time again."The 36th Pride Parade will start at Church Street and Bloor Street East today, go west on Bloor Street East to Yonge Street, proceed south on Yonge Street to Dundas Street East and move along Dundas Street East to Victoria Street.A number of roads in the area will be closed for varying periods between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., with the parade taking place from 2 to 6:30 p.m.
CAIRO - Egyptian investigators said Saturday they would be able to access the cockpit voice recordings of the EgyptAir flight that crashed in May despite damage to the black box."None of the memory chips of the electronic board were damaged," the Egyptians participating in the examination of the device in France said in a statement, adding that only some connecting components had to be replaced."Test results were satisfactory as (they) enabled the reading of the recorders of the CVR memory unit," they added. The Egyptians now plan to bring the recorder to Cairo for further analysis.The flight from Paris to Cairo crashed into the Mediterranean on May 19, killing all 66 people on board. The pilots made no distress call, and no militant group has claimed to have brought the aircraft down.The flight data recorder shows that there was smoke in the lavatory and onboard equipment, and investigators say they have found heat damage on parts of the wreckage recovered from the Mediterranean Sea floor last month.The bulk of the wreckage is believed to be at a depth of about 3,000 metres (9,800 feet). Deep ocean search teams are still working to find and recover human remains.French authorities opened a manslaughter inquiry on Monday, but said there is no evidence so far to link the crash to terrorism.EgyptAir Flight 804 disappeared from radar at about 2:45 a.m. local time between the Greek island of Crete and the Egyptian coast.Radar data showed the aircraft had been cruising normally in clear skies before it turned 90 degrees left, then spun 360 degrees to the right as it plummeted from 38,000 feet (11,582 metres) to 15,000 feet (4,572 metres). It disappeared when it was at an altitude of about 10,000 feet (3,048 metres).

Bangladesh hunts hostage crisis clues, investigates IS claim-[The Canadian Press]-The Associated Press-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DHAKA, Bangladesh - Security officials searched on Sunday for evidence and the possible masterminds of the weekend hostage-taking in an upscale restaurant in Bangladesh's capital. The government has denied the Islamic State group's claim of responsibility for the attack that left 28 dead, including six attackers and 20 of the hostages.Police released photographs of the bodies of five attackers, along with their first names: Akash, Badhon, Bikash, Don and Ripon. The men belonged to the banned domestic group Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, or JMB, and their families hadn't heard from them in months, according to police. Asked whether they might also have had Islamic State ties, Police Inspector General A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque said authorities were investigating that possibility.Despite the police saying IS links were being investigated, the home minister refuted the possibility that the Islamic State directed the attack from abroad. Bangladesh's government insists the extremist Sunni Muslim group based in Syria and Iraq has no presence in the country, and in the past has suggested that any claims of responsibility for violence waged in the South Asian country are simply opportunistic attempts at grabbing global attention."They are all Bangladeshis. They are from rich families, they have good educational background," Khan said of the attackers. One surviving suspect was detained when paramilitary forces ended the 10-hour standoff Saturday morning, and authorities said he was being interrogated.The siege marked an escalation in the militant violence that has hit Bangladesh with increasing frequency. Most of the attacks in the past several months have involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners and religious minorities.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has blamed her political opponents of trying to create chaos by backing domestic militants."Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such an act," Hasina said Saturday. "They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism."On Sunday morning, the first of two days of national mourning for the victims, police were blocking all access to streets near the Holey Artisan Bakery where the siege occurred. Investigators from both Bangladesh and Japan visited the restaurant to collect evidence.The 20 hostages who were killed included nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and one Indian teenager. Two police officers were killed by the attackers, and 13 people were rescued when commandos stormed the restaurant Saturday morning. Another 25 officers and one civilian were wounded, though hospitals would not give fresh information on their conditions.The attack was the worst in the recent series of attacks by radical Islamists in the moderate, mostly Muslim nation of 160 million. Unlike the previous attacks, the assailants were well-prepared and heavily armed with guns, bombs and sharp objects that police later said were used to torture some of the 35 captives.That the attackers targeted a popular restaurant in the heart of the diplomatic quarter of Bangladesh's capital signalled a change in tactics. The restaurant overlooking a lake serves Spanish food and is patronized by residents of Gulshan, an affluent neighbourhood where most of the foreign embassies are located.The hostages were asked to recite verses from the Qur’an, to prove themselves Muslim, according to a witness. Those who passed were allowed to eat. Those who failed were tortured and slain.Western embassies issued travel warnings to their citizens, advising those in the country to be vigilant and avoid places frequented by foreigners in the diplomatic zone. The U.S. Embassy also urged its citizens and personnel to avoid travelling on foot or in open vehicles exposed to potential attackers.In its claim of responsibility, the Islamic State group said its operatives had targeted the citizens of "Crusader countries" in the attack, warning that citizens of such countries would not be safe "as long as their warplanes kill Muslims." The statement was circulated in a manner consistent with past IS claims of responsibility.The Amaq news agency, affiliated with IS, also published photos of five smiling young men, each holding what appear to be assault rifles and posing in front of a black IS flag, and identified them as the restaurant attackers, according to the SITE Intelligence Service, which monitors jihadi online activity. The men in those photographs appeared to match the bodies shown in police images of the dead assailants in the restaurant after the hostage crisis ended.Amaq identified the five by noms de guerre indicating they were all Bangladeshis. It said the fighters used "knives, cleavers, assault rifles and hand grenades," and had "verified" the identities of the hostages in order to spare the Muslims and kill the foreigners.___Associated Press writers Katy Daigle and Nirmala George in New Delhi, Ken Moritsugu in Tokyo, and Krishan Francis in Colombo, Sri Lanka, contributed to this report
Bangladeshis behind restaurant killings, international link probed-[By Ruma Paul]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DHAKA (Reuters) - Seven militants who killed 20 people at a restaurant in Dhaka were local Bangladeshis and authorities had tried before to arrest five of them, police said, as investigators probed for possible links with international Islamist extremist groups.The gunmen stormed the upmarket restaurant in the diplomatic zone late on Friday, before killing mostly non-Muslim hostages, including at least nine Italians, seven Japanese and an American.Islamic State claimed responsibility, warning citizens of "crusader countries" that their citizens would not be safe "as long as their aircraft are killing Muslims", the group said in a statement. It also posted pictures of five fighters grinning in front of a black flag who it said were involved in the attack, according to the SITE monitoring website.The claims have not been confirmed, but Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told Reuters late on Saturday that neither Islamic State nor al Qaeda was involved. He reiterated the government's line that home-grown militants were responsible for a spate of killings in the country over the past 18 months."This was done by JMB," Khan said, referring to Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh, which claims to represent Islamic State in Bangladesh.Analysts say that as Islamic State loses territory in Iraq and Syria and its finances get drained, it may be trying to build affiliates in countries such as Bangladesh for jihadists to launch attacks locally and cheaply.-RICH FAMILIES-Deputy inspector general of police, Shahidur Rahman, told Reuters on Sunday authorities were investigating any connection between the attackers and trans-national groups such as Islamic State or al Qaeda.He said the militants were mostly educated and from rich families, but declined to give any more details.National police chief Shahidul Hoque said all the gunmen were Bangladeshi."Five of them were listed as militants and law enforcers made several drives to arrest them," Hoque told reporters in Dhaka late on Saturday.Whoever was responsible, the attack marked a major escalation in violence by militants who have demanded Islamic rule in Bangladesh, whose 160 million people are mostly Muslim.Previous attacks have mostly singled out individuals advocating a secular or liberal lifestyle or religious minorities.-RECITING KORAN VERSE-Friday night's attack, during the final days of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, was more coordinated than the previous assaults.Gunmen singled out foreigners as soon as they stormed through the doors of the restaurant popular with expatriates. They ordered all Bangladeshis to stand up before the killing began, a source briefed on the investigation said. The Bangladeshis were later told to close their eyes and recite verses from the Koran and one militant cursed at a Bangladeshi for eating with non-Muslims during Ramadan, the source said.The Islamic State-affiliated Amaq news agency claimed in a report on Saturday the militants identified and released Muslim patrons from the Dhaka restaurant, SITE said.The victims also included at least three Bangladeshis or people of Bangladeshi descent.The militants hacked most of their victims with machetes, leaving their bodies to bleed over the floor.A 12-hour standoff with security forces ended when around 100 commandos stormed the building, killing six of the militants and capturing a seventh after attempts at negotiations proved fruitless, authorities said. They recovered explosives and sharp weapons from the scene.It was not clear if the attackers had made any demands.-HOME-GROWN GROUPS-Up until Friday's attack, authorities had maintained no operational links exist between Bangladeshi militants and international jihadi networks. Bangladesh has blamed JMB and another home-grown outfit for the wave of grisly killings over the past year and a half.One line of inquiry being pursued is whether the restaurant attackers received any guidance from Islamic State or al Qaeda, an official in Bangladesh's counter-terrorism wing said."Pictures (uploaded on Twitter) indicate they might have been encouraged by ISIS (Islamic State) activities abroad," said Muhammad Zamir, a former senior Bangladesh foreign ministry official. "But this does not show a direct link to ISIS. This is exactly what was done and disputed later in the case of the Orlando attack."He was referring to the killing of 49 people last month by a man who pledged allegiance to Islamic State.Friday's attack in Dhaka was the worst since 2005, when JMB set off a series of bombs throughout Bangladesh in the space of an hour killing at least 25 people, mostly judges, police and journalists.The authorities executed six top JMB leaders in March 2007 and police have continued to hunt for group members, often detaining suspected militants following intelligence tips.In February, Bangladesh police arrested three JMB members suspected of killing a Hindu priest.Islamic state has claimed responsibility for a series of other attacks in Bangladesh in recent months since first taking credit for a killing in September last year. An Italian missionary was shot and wounded in the neck last November. Another Italian and a Japanese citizen were killed in attacks at the end of September and early October last year.-SAVE ME, SAVE ME-In a run-down government hospital in Dhaka, two police officers who were on patrol duty on Friday night received treatment for gunshot wounds, with bandages and plasters on cheeks and legs. Behind their beds, a sheet of paper carried details of their wounds.Struggling to speak, 30-year-old officer Pradip, who gave just one name, recalled rushing to the spot after receiving a wireless message that night. A blood-smeared man lay in front of the restaurant, shouting "save me, save me".The police officers called for backup after they were shot at from inside the restaurant."At some point I felt blood was rolling down my cheek," Pradip said. "We did respond with fire and the attackers stopped. We then rescued the man, who was the driver of some of the Japanese citizens who were inside."After meeting the officers in the hospital, national police chief A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque told Reuters they had gleaned some preliminary details on the identities of the attackers, but he declined to give details.-GARMENT INDUSTRY-The seven Japanese killed were working on projects involving the Japan International Cooperation Agency, an overseas aid agency, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said on Saturday.Six of them were in Dhaka to work on a metrorail project, Bangladesh's communication minister, Obaidul Quader, said.Italian media said several of the Italians victims worked in Bangladesh's $26 billion garment sector, which accounts for 80 percent of its exports.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced two days of national mourning beginning on Sunday and said the country would stand up and fight the "terror threat".(Additional reporting by Serajul Quadir and Aditya Kalra in DHAKA.

Beheaded Canadian's body dug up in southern Philippines-[The Canadian Press]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
MANILA, Philippines - Philippine troops on Saturday dug up what they believe is the body of Canadian hostage Robert Hall, who was beheaded by Abu Sayyaf extremists more than two weeks ago in the south after a ransom deadline lapsed.Villagers led the troops to a hinterland near Kamuntayan village in Sulu province's Talipao town where the militants buried Hall's body after killing him on June 13. Hall's head was found abandoned outside a Roman Catholic cathedral, regional military spokesman Maj. Filemon Tan said.Chances were high that it was Hall's body, Tan said, citing intelligence reports and help from villagers. Police forensic experts would confirm the identity, he said.Hall was kidnapped with fellow Canadian John Ridsdel, Norwegian Kjartan Sikkengstad and Filipino Marites Flor in September last year in a yacht-berthing resort on Samal Island, also in the south and taken by boat to Sulu, a predominantly Muslim and impoverished province 950 kilometres south of Manila.Ridsdel had also been beheaded, Sikkengstad remains in Abu Sayyaf custody and Flor has been freed.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the killings and called on other nations not to pay ransoms if their citizens are abducted to discourage the militants from carrying out more ransom kidnappings.Philippine troops have been carrying out an offensive that has killed dozens of militants in Sulu.The Abu Sayyaf, which has more than 400 armed fighters, is blacklisted by the United States and the Philippines as a terrorist group for bombings, kidnappings for ransom, beheadings and extortion. The militants have been weakened by years of battle setbacks but remain a national security threat.
German arms exports almost doubled in 2015: report-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
BERLIN (Reuters) - German arms exports almost doubled last year to their highest level since the beginning of this century, a German newspaper said on Sunday, citing a report from the Economy Ministry that is due to be presented to the cabinet on Wednesday.Newspaper Welt am Sonntag said the value of individual approvals granted for exporting arms was 7.86 billion euros ($8.75 billion) last year compared with 3.97 billion euros worth of arms exports in 2014.It said the Economy Ministry had pointed to special factors that boosted arms exports such as the approval of four tanker aircraft for Britain worth 1.1 billion euros.It also pointed to the approval of battle tanks and tank howitzers along with munitions and accompanying vehicles worth 1.6 billion euros for Qatar - a controversial deal that the report said was approved in 2013 by the previous government.The Economy Ministry declined to comment on the report.In February German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said preliminary figures showed that Germany had given approval for around 7.5 billion euros worth of arms shipments in 2015.The Federal Office for Economics and Export Control (Bafa), a subsidiary of the economy ministry, is responsible for licensing arms export deals and Gabriel had promised to take a much more cautious approach to licensing arms exports, especially with regard to the Middle East.Germany is one of the world's main arms exporters to EU and NATO countries and has been cutting its sales of light weapons outside those states.Last year the government rejected 100 applications for arms export approvals – the same number as in the previous year, Welt am Sonntag reported. It said Berlin had given 12,687 applications the green light in 2015 – 597 more than in the previous year.(Reporting by Michelle Martin; Editing by Elaine Hardcastle)
Nusra captures leader, fighters of Western-backed rebels in northern Syria-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
AMMAN (Reuters) - Syria's al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front has abducted the commander of the Western-backed Jaish al-Tahrir brigade, along with several of his aides and scores of fighters in coordinated raids in northern Syria, Jaish al Tahrir said on Sunday.Jaish al Tahrir was set up in February as part of an effort to forge unity among moderate rebels in the Free Syrian Army (FSA) alliance at a time when a major Islamic State advance threatened their main stronghold near the Turkish border.The powerful Islamist Nusra Front is ideologically opposed to the more moderate FSA rebels and their Western supporters, but occasionally fights alongside them against Islamist State.Jaish al Tahrir, which has 4,000 well trained fighters, said their leader Mohammad al Ghabi and a number of his aides were taken in a house raid in Kfr Nubl in Idlib province Saturday night."They were injured and kidnapped and taken to an unknown location," Jaish al Tahrir said in a statement.Nusra Front fighters stormed several locations in coordinated raids and set up checkpoints to arrest around 40 fighters, the group said.The Nusra Front has previously targeted rebel groups supported by the West, leading to the dissolution of the Syria Revolutionaries Front and the Hazzm movement last year.In March, the al Qaeda offshoot seized the bases and weapons of the 13th Division rebel group, one of the factions that has received foreign military aid, capturing U.S.-made anti-tank missiles.Jaish al Tahrir called on Syria's main rebel groups al Ahrar al Sham and others to put pressure on Nusra to release their leader and prevent an escalation in tensions.They also said they wanted a judicial court that would arbitrate their differences. Nusra Front has accused leaders of Jaish al Tahrir of participating in a U.S.-led programme to train and equip Syrian insurgents to fight Islamic State. Nusra Front regards the United States as an enemy.Jaish al Tahrir called on restraint by its fighters on their main fronts in northern Syria near the Turkish border where they are battling Islamic State militants and fighting the Syrian government army and allied Iranian-backed militias in Aleppo countryside and Latakia province.(Reporting by Suleiman Al-Khalidi; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
Iraqi officials: 83 people killed in 2 bombings in Baghdad-[The Canadian Press]-Murtada Faraj, The Associated Press-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
BAGHDAD - At least 83 people have been killed and 176 wounded in two separate bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital Sunday morning, Iraqi officials said.In the deadliest attack, a car bomb hit Karada, a busy shopping district in the centre of Baghdad, killing 78 people and wounding 160, according to police and hospital officials. It struck as families and young people were out on the streets after breaking their daylight fast for the holy month of Ramadan.The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the bombing in a statement posted online, saying they had deliberately targeted Shiite Muslims. The statement could not be independently verified.At dawn Sunday, fire fighters were still working to extinguish the blazes and bodies were still being recovered from charred buildings. Many of the dead were children, according to Associated Press reporters at the scene. Ambulances could be heard rushing to the site for hours after the blast. An eyewitness said the explosion caused fires at nearby clothing and cellphone shops.Hours after the bombing, Iraq's prime minister visited the blast site. Video footage uploaded to social media showed an angry crowd, with people calling Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi a "thief" and shouting at his convoy.In the second attack, an improvised explosive device went off in eastern Baghdad, killing 5 people and wounding 16. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.The casualty figures were confirmed by police and hospital officials, who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to release information to the press.The Baghdad attacks come just over a week after Iraqi forces declared the city of Fallujah "fully liberated" from IS. Over the past year, Iraqi forces have racked up territorial gains against IS, retaking the city of Ramadi and the towns of Hit and Rutba, all in Iraq's vast Anbar province west of Baghdad.Despite the government's battlefield victories, IS has repeatedly shown it remains capable of launching attacks far from the front-lines.Before the launch of the operation to retake Fallujah, Iraq's prime minister was facing growing social unrest and anti-government protests in Baghdad sparked in part by popular anger at the lack of security in the capital. In one month, Baghdad's highly-fortified Green Zone — which houses government buildings and diplomatic missions — was stormed twice by anti-government protesters.IS still controls Iraq's second largest city of Mosul as well as significant patches of territory in the country's north and west.At the height of the extremist group's power in 2014, IS rendered nearly a third of the country out of government control. Now, the militants are estimated to control only 14 per cent of Iraqi territory, according to the office of Iraq's prime minister.___Associated Press writers Ali Abdulhassan and Khalid Mohammed in Baghdad and Maamoun Youssef in Cairo contributed to this report.
UAE tells citizens to avoid national dress while abroad after man held in U.S.-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DUBAI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has urged men to avoid wearing the white robes, headscarf and headband of the national dress when traveling abroad, after a businessman visiting the United States was wrestled to the ground and held as an Islamic State suspect.UAE media reported that the Emirati man was detained in Avon, Ohio, last week after a female clerk at a local hotel called 911 to report what she had described as a man affiliated to Islamic State, according to the Arabic-language al-Bayan newspaper. It only identified him by his initials.The English language The National said the receptionist at the Fairfield Inn hotel called the police after she heard the man talking on his phone in the hotel lobby.Gulf News, another UAE newspaper, published photos of the Emirati man in white robes being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed before being led away by police.In a message on a Foreign Ministry Twitter account focusing on citizens traveling abroad, the ministry said on Saturday:"For citizens traveling outside the country, and in order to ensure their safety, we point out not to wear formal dress while traveling, especially in public places," the message dated July 2 stated, without referring to the Avon incident.The Foreign Ministry, in a message posted on its website in Arabic and English, urged citizens to abide by the laws of countries they are visiting. It alerted women to countries in Europe whose laws prohibit wearing of face covers, also without referring to the incident in Avon.Local newspapers said Avon police released the man after they realized their mistake, but he fainted and needed hospital treatment.Al-Bayan reported that the citizen had hired a lawyer to pursue the case, saying he had received no apology from either the police or the hotel.(Reporting by Sami Aboudi; Editing by Hugh Lawson)
Eighteen injured in Mecca stampede: Saudi media-[AFP]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Riyadh (AFP) - Eighteen pilgrims have been injured in a stampede near Islam's holiest site, Saudi media reported on Saturday, as the kingdom continues to review safety after a deadly crush during last year's hajj.The incident happened on Friday night near the Grand Mosque in Mecca, the Al-Riyadh newspaper said, as Muslims gathered in large numbers to mark the Night of Destiny, one of the high points of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.All the injured were treated at the scene and none required admission to hospital, the newspaper cited a health official as saying.Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims flock to Mecca to carry out the lesser umra pilgrimage during Ramadan -- especially during its last 10 days.They include the Night of Destiny, when the angel Gabriel is believed to have given the Prophet Mohammed the verses of the Koran.The incident comes as Saudi authorities continue to unveil new safety measures for this year's hajj in September.A crush at last year's hajj killed more than 2,000 pilgrims in the worst disaster to ever strike the annual ritual.According to figures from foreign officials, at least 2,297 pilgrims died. Saudi Arabia issued a death toll of 769.Newspapers reported on Friday that, among new security measures, hajj pilgrims this year will have to wear an electronic safety bracelet to store their personal information, including address and medical records.The hajj and umra pilgrimages bring millions of Muslims to the holy places in Saudi Arabia every year.
Trudeau called on to retract 'one nation' Canada Day message-[CBC]-July 2, 2016-YAHOONEWS
A candidate in the Parti Québecois leadership race is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to retract his reference to "one nation," made during his Canada Day address.Martine Ouellet, a former Quebec cabinet minister, shared a video of the address on her Facebook page on Saturday.Trudeau tells Canadians that "Today, we celebrate the day, exactly 149 years ago, when the people of this great land came together, and forged one nation, one country – Canada."Ouellet accuses Trudeau of "reinventing history" by referring to one nation. "It's an direct insult to the Quebec nation, an insult to everything our heritage represents," Ouellet wrote in the post. "Justin Trudeau has to retract and recognize the Quebec nation."Is Quebec a nation? Whether Quebec constitutes a nation has long been a source of controversy. The question is related to the province's constitutional status and was at the heart of the failed Meech Lake Accord.In 2006, then prime minister Stephen Harper introduced a motion calling on the House of Commons to recognize that "Québécois form a nation within a united Canada."The motion passed by a large majority, though there were several holdouts within the Liberal party, which was holding its own leadership race at the time. At the time, Trudeau, who was not yet an MP, criticized Michael Ignatieff for endorsing the motion. Trudeau ended up backing Gerard Kennedy in the leadership race, which was eventually won by Stéphane Dion. Kennedy also opposed the motion. Trudeau had claimed that his father, the late prime minister, would never have supported recognition of Quebec as a nation.In her Facebook post, Ouellet linked Trudeau's position to his father's."Trudeau's true face was revealed yesterday," she wrote. "From father to son, it's the same difference."Ouellet is one of five candidates vying to replace Pierre Karl Péladeau as PQ leader. The winner will be announced October 7.
We’re going to the convention’: Bernie Sanders continues fundraising as campaign fades-Caitlin Dickson-Breaking News Reporter-July 1, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign is still raising funds from supporters despite the fact that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton essentially locked up the nomination weeks ago.Sanders’ campaign fired off multiple fundraising requests to supporters on Thursday, ahead of the Federal Election Committee’s final fundraising deadline. “We’re going to the convention,” one email declared, referring to the Democratic National Convention later this month.“When our delegates gather in Philadelphia, they’ll have the chance to put the Democratic Party on the record about stopping votes against the TPP, fighting for a $15 federal minimum wage, opposing fracking, and so many more progressive priorities,” Sanders’ campaign manager wrote to supporters on Thursday night-“Our campaign has earned the right to send almost 1,900 delegates to vote on these important issues, but many of them are working folks and the costs of attending the convention are too high,” read another email. “So I want to help them get there, because this campaign isn’t about Bernie Sanders, it’s about all of us.”Sanders mounted a stronger-than-expected campaign in the Democratic primary. The last contest was on June 12, and a week before that contest, Clinton obtained the necessary delegates to become the nominee.Sanders, who has steadfastly refused to concede the race, has started signaling that he’s moving toward endorsing Clinton. Last week, Sanders said “yes” when asked if he will end up voting for her.“I’m going to do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump,” he said.Still, Sanders seems determined to hang onto his candidacy for as long as possible. While he told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Thursday evening that — contrary to what Trump has been saying — “I do not hate Secretary Clinton,” Sanders also pushed back against comments made earlier in the day by Vice President Joe Biden, who told NPR he’s confident “Bernie’s going to endorse her.”“Right now, my hope is that we can reach an agreement on some very important issues and I can go forward to the millions of people who supported me and say, ‘Look, this is the progress that you’ve made. This is where we’re going to go as a country,‘” Sanders said. “So, I hope it happens. As of this moment, we’re not there quite yet.”

China to hold drills in South China Sea ahead of court ruling-[Reuters]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will hold military drills around the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, the maritime safety administration said on Sunday, ahead of a decision by an international court in a dispute between China and the Philippines.China routinely carries out exercises in the South China Sea, where its territorial claims overlap in parts with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.Tensions have been rising ahead of a July 12 ruling by an arbitration court hearing the dispute between China and the Philippines over the South China Sea in the Dutch city of The Hague.In a brief online statement, China's maritime safety administration said the drills would take place from July 5-11, and gave coordinates for the drills that cover an area from the east of China's Hainan island down to and including the Paracels.Other ships are prohibited from entering those waters during that time, it said, without further elaboration.The Paracels are also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan.China has built a runway on Woody Island, the site of the largest Chinese presence on the Paracels, and placed surface-to-air missiles there, according to U.S. officials.China says it is perfectly within its rights to do what it wants on the islands in the South China Sea, saying they have been Chinese territory since ancient times.About $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year though the energy-rich, strategic waters of the South China Sea.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Nick Macfie)

At least 40 feared dead in rains, landslides in northern India-[By Malini Menon]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - At least 40 people were feared dead following a downpour that triggered flash floods and landslides in northern Indian Uttarakhand state over the weekend, a state official said.Several more people were still missing, a spokesman at the state chief minister's office, Om Prakash Sati, said on Sunday, with remote Chamoli and Pithoragarh being the worst affected districts in the state.The state has so far confirmed 18 deaths, of whom 15 were from Pithoragarh. The official toll was expected to rise.Thousands were feared stranded as landslides blocked hundreds of roads. The state authorities have asked people in low lying areas to evacuate as a precautionary measure, he said.Relief operations are under way, but incessant rains have hampered efforts and raised fears of flooding as rivers were close to their danger levels, Sati said."There is no need to panic," Uttarakhand's chief minister Harish Rawat told reporters, adding, more teams from the state, central authorities, and other relief forces have all been kept on high alert as a precautionary measure.Several damaged roads have also been repaired, Rawat said.(Editing by Keith Weir)

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind,(ANOTHER MAN) as with womankind: it is abomination.

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
ROMANS 1:21-32
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Pride is political': More than a cute slogan for city Coun. Kristyn Wong-Tam-[CBC]-July 3, 2016-YAHOONEWS
"'Pride is political."-Kristyn Wong-Tam was sporting a grey tank top with those three words in neon pink at the Dyke March Saturday.But it's more than just a catchy slogan for the openly gay Toronto city councillor. And it packs added significance in light of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau becoming the first prime minister to participate in Toronto's Pride Parade today."The Pride Parade is always political so he's exactly where he needs to be," Wong-Tam told CBC News. "It's a very important symbolic gesture. We want to make sure (Trudeau's) here especially if he's trying to set a new tone for the country, a country that is accepting of all its diverse people, a country that actually celebrates diversity, and a country that promotes human rights."Wong-Tam believes "visibility is what keeps our community strong.""When people are in the closet or can't live their lives as freely as they need to, they don't reach their full potential and they live in fear and they live in fear of persecution and rejection," she said. "So, being able to be part of the community is everything."Wong-Tam spoke candidly about her fiancée Farrah Khan feeling fearful following the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando last month."That morning, when we both woke up and saw the headlines that there was this incredible tragedy, we were overwhelmed with sadness," she said. "We didn't know the motivation of the shooter so there was also an element of fear."I remember her saying to me, 'Are they going to come and get us?' And I held her and we both cried."She explained that she introduced Khan as her "queer Muslim fiancee" at a vigil following the massacre because she "wanted to offer the community a sense of honesty and raw emotion. We, too, were scared, we were upset and angry."Wong-Tam described the gay community as strong and resilient, adding that "we come together in times of hurt and pain, and we've done that time and time again."The 36th Pride Parade will start at Church Street and Bloor Street East today, go west on Bloor Street East to Yonge Street, proceed south on Yonge Street to Dundas Street East and move along Dundas Street East to Victoria Street.A number of roads in the area will be closed for varying periods between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., with the parade taking place from 2 to 6:30 p.m.
