Russia Blocks Criminal Prosecution in Malaysia Airlines Crashby Jennifer So
Wednesday July 29th, 2015 at 5:28 PM

TIME
1 Share
(UNITED NATIONS) — Russia on Wednesday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution that would set up an international criminal court to prosecute those responsible for shooting down a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine a year ago.
The foreign ministers of the Netherlands, Australia and Ukraine attended a meeting over the downing that killed all 298 people on board Flight MH17. The countries are among the five nations investigating the incident, along with Malaysia and Belgium.
Ukraine and the West suspect the plane, traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was hit by a surface-to-air missile fired by Russian soldiers or Russia-backed separatist rebels on July 17, 2014. Russia denies that, and state media have alleged the plane was shot down by a Ukrainian missile or warplane.
“Russia has callously disregarded the public outcry in the grieving nations,” U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said, adding that the United States was among the 18 countries that lost citizens in the disaster. Three countries abstained from the vote: China, Venezuela and Angola.
Wednesday’s vote followed a last-minute effort to lobby Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has said setting up a tribunal would not make sense while the investigation continued.
The Dutch ambassador to the U.N., Karel van Oosterom, tweeted a statement saying Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Putin that “it was preferable to make a decision about the tribunal before the facts and charges have been established precisely in order to avoid politicizing the prosecution process.”
But the Kremlin quoted Putin as saying a tribunal would be “inexpedient” because Russia still has “a lot of questions” about the investigation to which it had little access.
Russia had offered its own draft that demanded justice for those responsible for the crash without calling for a tribunal. Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told the council after the vote that such a tribunal risked not being impartial and being subject to media “propaganda,” and he called past tribunals for the Rwanda genocide and the violence in the former Yugoslavia “expensive.”
The foreign ministers met Wednesday morning with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who called for justice and accountability.
A preliminary report released in the Netherlands last year said the plane had no technical problems in the seconds before it broke up in the sky after being struck by multiple objects — a conclusion that experts said likely pointed to a missile strike.
The investigation led by the Dutch Safety Board aims only to determine the crash cause, not to ascribe blame. The probe is being led by The Netherlands because 196 of the victims were Dutch.
A separate probe by the Dutch national prosecutor’s office aims to establishing who was responsible. This investigation includes authorities from Ukraine, Malaysia and other countries whose nationals were among the victims, but Russia is not a participant.

On the banks of Egypt's new Suez Canal
Wednesday July 29th, 2015 at 5:24 PM

BBC News - Home
1 Share
Egypt is about to inaugurate a new Suez Canal, which is expected to double the revenues of its strategic waterway over the next decade.
It has constructed a new lane which runs alongside part of the existing canal, allowing reduced transit and waiting times for ships.
It took one year to dig the new canal, with a cost of some $8.5bn (£5.4bn).
Egyptians funded the whole project.
The BBC's Sally Nabil went to the city of Ismailiya where the canal is being tested.

Opinion: Russia′s love for its army | Opinion | DW.COM
Wednesday July 29th, 2015 at 4:53 PM

At the age of five, I asked my mother this, "When the soldiers come, you'll hide me under the table won't you?"
It was the 1970s, I lived in the Soviet Union and the Cold War was still very much alive. The fear of one day being taken away by "the soldiers" of the Soviet army to defend my Russian homeland against the "rotten West," was actually more horrifying than the fear of being attacked by the "rotten West" itself. Maybe it had to do with my pacifist upbringing, but I wasn't alone with that fear. I knew no one who wanted join the army, and I knew no one who was proud of the army.
And that was despite the military cheerleading program "I Serve the Soviet Union," which ran every Sunday on Russian television and the obligatory class "Introduction to military education" at school. And the yearly school military parades. The propaganda of the 1970s couldn't create what today's propaganda has brought about: Russian society's love for the army.
Prestigious institution
According to a new poll conducted by the Russian opinion research center VZIOM, 86 percent of Russians are convinced that the army would be capable of defending the nation in the case of an emergency. Of those polled, 40 percent said they respected the army, and 59 percent were proud of it and thought that it symbolized hope. An overwhelming majority of Russians considered the army to be a prestigious institution that offers young citizens a chance for personal development.
More than likely, that 86 percent will have been very happy when President Vladimir Putin unveiledRussia's new naval doctrine during the impressive Navy Day celebration spectacle in Kaliningrad on Sunday. Russia is a peaceful nation, so the message went. Of course, it would never threaten or attack anyone.

But it is always vigilant, and will show no mercy to anyone who has thoughts of attacking the largest country on earth. If that were to happen, then agile ships with precision navigation systems and lightning-fast rockets would enter into the equation. Now, in light of NATO's eastern expansion, the Mediterranean and the Arctic Ocean have become Russia's new priority zones.
So far, so good, everything seems logical enough and generally fits into the new overall military doctrine Russia presented to the world last autumn. At that time, Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov announced that by 2020, Russian forces would be receiving 11,000 new armored fighting vehicles, 30 new ships and submarines and 14,000 new military vehicles - not to mention countless numbers of new missiles. Impressive, even comparable to the pace of the military build-up that took place during the Cold War. However, there are no guarantees that it will actually happen.
Funding questions
Western sanctions and a growing Russian financial crisis may well wipe out Moscow's ambitious plans for a new military orientation by 2020. In Moscow's worst case scenario, money would disappear and important components for complicated precision weaponry stationed on agile ships pointed at the West could then no longer be purchased from that very same West. And one can certainly be skeptical as to whether "impotozameshenie," import substitutes, a currently lauded cure-all, will actually take hold and be as quick and effective for the military as they are supposed to be.
Additionally, the weapons manufacturers' rampant plundering of state coffers for when it comes to national arms deals needs to be ended once and for all. Vladimir Putin recently threatened to put this plague on par with financing terrorism and complained that the price of weapons had increased by 11 times between when the weapons systems were ordered and delivered.
Only when these problems have been solved, and Russia's new plans can be securely financed, will the proud Russian citizen be able to be truly proud of his army - and not have to worry that a missile fired from a navy ship will explode upon launch and fall into the sea just two meters (6 feet) from the deck, as was the case at celebrations this past weekend in Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula. Fortunately, the president wasn't there, he was just finishing up ceremonies in Kaliningrad. Where another missile got stuck in its launcher.

New questions arise about House Democratic caucus’s loyalty to Obama Friday June 12 th , 2015  at  10:24 PM 1 Share President Obama, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at his side, leaves a meeting where he made a last-ditch appeal to House Democrats for his trade agenda on Friday in Washington. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) Cheers rang out Thursday evening when President Obama made a surprise visit to the annual congressional baseball game at National Park. Thousands of Democratic staffers began to chant: “O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!” More unexpectedly, Republican lawmakers and staffers, who have been locked in battle with the president for more than six years, began a cheer of their own: “TPA, TPA!” they chanted, voicing approval for Obama’s trade promotion agenda. Obama flashed the GOP side a thumbs-up. Inside the Democratic dugout, according to several senior aides and lawmakers, the president’s usual allies were appalled by the scene: He was w
