У нас какие сегодня есть преимущества, у России, у российской экономики, чтобы сказать: инвесторы, вот здесь вы можете действительно инвестировать ваши деньги, здесь у вас есть какие‑то дополнительные «шоколадки», «морковки» – что‑то такое, что позволило бы именно инвесторов привлечь в нашу страну, в нашу экономику, а не искать где‑то сферу приложения капиталов в каких‑то других странах? Что главное, может быть, сегодня, что может привлекать в российскую экономику, на Ваш взгляд?

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday Moscow considered the shelling of its embassy in Damascus as a terrorist act, RIA news agency reported on Tuesday.
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain saw a sharp rise in the number of hate crimes recorded by police last year with the vast bulk of offences motivated by race, official figures showed on Tuesday.
JERUSALEM — A pair of Palestinian men boarded a bus in Jerusalem and began shooting and stabbing passengers, while another assailant rammed a car into a bus station before stabbing bystanders, in near-simultaneous attacks Tuesday that escalated a monthlong wave of violence. Three Israelis and one attacker were killed.
The Jerusalem attacks, along with two stabbings in a central Israeli city, marked the most serious outbreak of violence since the current round of tensions erupted. More than 10 people were wounded.
The violence, coming at a time when peace prospects appear nil, have fueled a sense of panic in Israel and raised fears that the region is on the cusp of a new round of heavy violence.
Police closed major highways leading in and out of Jerusalem, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency meeting of his Security Cabinet, where police were to present a plan to halt the violence. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the country’s internal security minister, Gilad Erdan, was considering a number of immediate steps, including a closure on Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem, where many of the attackers have come from, and making it easier to get gun licenses.
While Israelis are on edge over the random nature of the attacks, the long-running diplomatic deadlock has left many Palestinians feeling hopeless about their chances of ending nearly half a century of Israeli occupation.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says one of those seriously injured when two Palestinian men boarded a bus in Jerusalem and began shooting and stabbing passengers has succumbed to his wounds. A 60-year-old man was also killed, as was one of the attackers.
Elsewhere in Jerusalem, a Palestinian motorist rammed his vehicle into a crowded bus stop, then got out and began stabbing people. One Israeli was killed, police said.
The Jerusalem attacks, coupled with a pair of stabbing attacks in the central Israeli city of Raanana that injured five, came in rapid succession. Emergency services said several of the wounded were in serious condition.
At the scene of one of the attacks, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat called on the government to seal off the West Bank and certain Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem to quell the wave of attacks that have struck the city.
Since the Jewish New Year last month, seven Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in a shooting, a stoning and a series of stabbings. At least 27 Palestinians been killed by Israeli fire, including 11 identified by Israel as attackers and the rest in clashes between stone-throwers and Israeli troops. Hundreds of Palestinians have been wounded in such confrontations.
On Monday, Palestinians carried out three stabbings in Jerusalem, leaving a teenage Israeli boy in critical condition.
The unrest began last month with clashes at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site and quickly spread across Israel and into the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The attacks come at a time of deep despair for the Palestinians. Peace talks broke down more than a year ago, and prospects for relaunching diplomatic efforts to end the conflict appear nil. After years of diplomatic deadlock, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has seen his popularity plunge.
The attackers, many of them teenagers, have had no affiliation with militant groups, and the seemingly random nature of the stabbings has made it difficult to predict or prevent them. The use of vehicles and firearms in Jerusalem on Tuesday, however, marked a more serious level of violence and bring back memories of the deadly attacks that plagued Israeli cities during last decade’s second Palestinian uprising.
Netanyahu has come under heavy criticism for failing to stop the violence, and an opinion poll this week showed that more than 70 percent of the public is dissatisfied with his handling of the crisis.
Some of the attacks have been carried out by members of Israel’s Arab minority, who frequently suffer discrimination and identify with their Palestinian brethren in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.
In a fiery speech to parliament on Monday, Netanyahu accused the country’s Arab leaders of helping incite weeks of violence.
Israeli Arab towns called a general strike Monday to protest recent tensions.
The violence erupted over the Jewish New Year last month, fueled by rumors that Israel was plotting to take over a site holy to both Muslims and Jews. The rumors ignited clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian activists who hurled stones and firebombs at them from inside the mosque, and the violence has spread.
Israel has dismissed the rumors and repeatedly said there are no plans to alter a longstanding status quo at the spot, revered by Jews as the site of the biblical Temples and today home to Islam’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

President Barack Obama insisted that the last American troops in Afghanistan would return home by the end of his presidency, definitively ending the longest war in American history. Then, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, came in with one more plan to maintain a force of as many as 5,000 troops in Afghanistan to prevent a re-emergence of al-Qaida and to battle Islamic State fighters.
Islamic State victories against the Taliban have not weakened the overall insurgency, but have mostly inflicted more chaos and misery upon Afghan civilians.

America’s best hope of beating the Islamic State is a coalition with Russia.Amnesty Reports Possible War Crimes by US-Backed Kurds in Syria by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
Amnesty International said Tuesday that U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters in northern Syria may have committed war crimes by forcing thousands of people from their homes and knocking down buildings. Among the strongest accusations in its report are quotes from civilians who said they were threatened with airstrikes from the U.S.-led coalition of militaries if they did not leave. Amnesty said its researchers visited 14 towns and villages in Hasakeh and Raqqa provinces in July and August, in addition to reviewing satellite photos of areas under the control of the Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG. "We saw extensive displacement and destruction that did not occur as a result of fighting," Amnesty Senior Crisis Advisor Lama Fakih said. "This report uncovers clear evidence of a deliberate, coordinated campaign of collective punishment of civilians in villages previously captured by IS, or where a small minority were suspected of supporting the group." Most of the displaced were Arabs and Turkmen, and Amnesty said they were often pushed out in retaliation for perceived ties to Islamic State members or sympathies for the militant group that has controlled large areas of Syria and Iraq for more than a year. The report cited a YPG spokesman saying civilians were moved out of areas for their own protection. But Amnesty also reported that many residents said their villages had not been the scene of fighting or even close to the front lines. Amnesty called on the Kurds to stop demolishing civilian homes and to compensate those whose homes have been "unlawfully destroyed." It also urged the U.S.-led coalition and others coordinating with the Kurds to not ignore abuses. "They must take a public stand condemning forced displacement and unlawful demolitions and ensure their military assistance is not contributing to violations of international humanitarian law," Fakih said.

Democrats to Hold First Debate in 2016 Presidential Raceby webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
After watching Republican candidates spar in two rounds of debates, Democrats looking to become the next U.S. president get their turn Tuesday as they take the stage in Las Vegas for their first debate of the 2016 election campaign. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her status as the front-runner in the Democratic race will put her in the center of the debate, both literally and figuratively, as she stands in the middle of the four other candidates taking part. Recent polls put Clinton ahead with about 40 percent support, while her chief challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, comes in at 25 percent. In stark contrast to Republican race, the Democrats have spent far less of the campaign talking about each other, leaving Tuesday's debate as an intriguing forum for their policies and records to be compared and contrasted. The size of the field is another marked difference, with Clinton and Sanders being joined by former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, former Virginia Senator Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee. The latter three candidates have struggled to earn even 1 percent in recent polls. That makes Tuesday night important for them since the Democratic National Committee is only scheduling six debates for its presidential candidates, half the number the Republicans will hold. The debate might be the best chance for O'Malley, Webb and Chafee to establish themselves before the possible addition of another well-known figure in the race, Vice President Joe Biden, who will not take part in the debate but is still deciding whether to run for president. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday showed 48 percent of Democrats surveyed wanted Biden to join the race. If he were running, the poll said Clinton would still be the leader, with Sanders running second and Biden in third with 17 percent support.
