IS faces budget crunch, cutting perks and trimming salaries.

BEIRUT (AP) Faced with a cash shortage in its so-called caliphate, the Islamic State group has slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa residents to pay utility bills in black market American dollars, and is now releasing detainees for a price of $500 a person.

Al-Tamimi came across a directive announcing the fighters' salary cuts in Raqqa: "On account of the exceptional circumstances the Islamic State is facing, it has been decided to reduce the salaries that are paid to all mujahedeen by half, and it is not allowed for anyone to be exempted from this decision, whatever his position." Those circumstances include the dramatic drop in global prices for oil once a key source of income airstrikes that have targeted cash stores and oil infrastructure, supply line cuts, and crucially, the Iraqi government's decision to stop paying civil servants in territory controlled by the extremists.

In Iraq, where Islamic State has slowly been losing ground over the past year, the Iraqi government in September cut off salaries to government workers within territory controlled by the extremists, after months of wavering about the humanitarian costs paid by those trapped in the region.

The account of the resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of death at the hands of extremists, was supported by that of another family trapped in Fallujah that said inhabitants can only leave the city if they pay $1,000 a sum well beyond the means of most in the Sunni-majority city that was the first in Iraq to fall to Islamic State in 2014.

1937 U.S.A. Dust Storms 18th February, 1937 : Dust storms hit five states-in Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. Within a few days, a dozen deaths had occurred. Likewise, influenza and pneumonia patients were easily affected, as the dust storms had made breathing difficult for them. The dust storms were so severe that people could taste the dirt and other substance in their food at dinner time. Furthermore, clouds of dust were so thick that it blocked the light of the sun. Homeowners and/or renters were advised to plug their window sills and door jams as well as hang wet sheets over doors and windows. However, it was nearly impossible to make an area 100% dust-free.

January Smashed Another Global Temperature Record.

This past December was the warmest December on record and the most abnormally warm month on record, too.

This January was the warmest January on record by a large margin while also claiming the title of most anomalously warm month in 135 years of record keeping.

That's the equivalent of a missing area of sea ice almost four times the size of Colorado, and puts this year right in line with a trend of ever decreasing sea ice in the region as the climate warms.

If 2016 sets another global temperature record, that would make it back-to-back-to-back years of record setting hot temperatures.


That doesn't mean every year will set a record, but "it seems to me quite likely that we have taken the next step up to a new level," National Center for Atmospheric Research climate scientist Kevin Trenberth told Climate Central last month.



US stealth jets fly over S. Korea amid N. Korea standoff.

airpower aimed at showing what the United States can do to defend its ally South Korea from potential aggression from North Korea.

Last month it sent a nuclear-capable B-52 bomber to South Korea after North Korea defiantly conducted its fourth nuclear test.

South Korea's president on Tuesday warned North Korea faces collapse if it doesn't abandon its nuclear bomb program, an unusually strong broadside that is certain to infuriate Pyongyang.


In a speech at parliament, President Park Geun-hye said South Korea will take unspecified "stronger and more effective" measures to make North Korea realize its nuclear ambitions will result only in accelerating its "regime collapse."

Mozart and Salieri 'lost' composition played in Prague.

A piece of Mozart music considered lost for more than 200 years has been performed for the first time since being rediscovered.

Rumours that Salieri fatally poisoned his rival Mozart out of jealousy have long been discounted by historians, but were popularised by several plays and an Oscar-winning film, Amadeus.

Mr Leisinger said the piece is "not great" but "really sheds new light on Mozart's daily life as an opera composer".

"We don't know when any other piece by Mozart is discovered, it could be soon but it could also be after another 100 years." Several Mozart pieces have been re-discovered in recent years, several of them thought to have been written when he was a young boy.

'Hobbits' found on Flores island are not Homo sapiens, but mystery remains.

Diminutive humans who died out on an Indonesian island some 15,000 years ago were not Homo sapiens but a different species, according to a study that dives into a fierce anthropological debate.

Homo floresiensis found on Flores island are not Homo sapiens Fossils of Homo floresiensis, dubbed "the hobbits" due to their tiny stature, were discovered on the island of Flores in 2003.

But other researchers argue that Homo floresiensis was in fact a modern human whose tiny size and small brain, no bigger than a grapefruit, was caused by a genetic disorder.


For while the scientists could not exclude the possibility that the "hobbit" was a scaled-down version of Homo erectus, which arrived on the neighbouring island of Java some million years ago, nor could they be sure that it was not a species it its own right.



'Extraordinary' Cancer Breakthrough Revealed - Terminally ill patients are left symptom free after treatment with modified cells - described as a "potential paradigm shift".

Tests of a potentially revolutionary cancer therapy have had "extraordinary" results on terminally ill patients, scientists have revealed.

Lead scientist Professor Stanley Riddell, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, US, said the results were among patients who were projected to have two to five months to live.

The technique involves removing immune cells called T-cells from patients, tagging them with "receptor" molecules that target cancer, and putting them back into the body in an infusion.

Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Washington DC, Prof Riddell described the results as a "potential paradigm shift" in cancer treatment.


Prof Riddell hopes to try the therapy on patients suffering from cancers with solid tumours, but said they would present challenges.



Sea Shepherd says it can’t find Japan’s whaling fleet.

"Sea Shepherd was expecting that Australia or New Zealand would uphold their obligations as responsible members of the International Whaling Commission, to send a ship to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet," Watson said.

He called on Canberra to provide Sea Shepherd with the exact coordinates of the whaling fleet "so that Sea Shepherd can do the job that Australia and New Zealand refuse to do." "If Australia or New Zealand can kindly provide the coordinates, Sea Shepherd can stop the continuing illegal operations of the renegade outlaw Japanese whaling fleet," he said.

Student worker paid just 47 cents an hour by 7-Eleven, say lawyers.

International student Pranay Alawala, who worked in three 7-Eleven stores in Brisbane, recently secured a payout of $33,000 from his former employer.

Mr Alawala is one of the more than 60 former 7-Eleven workers represented by Maurice Blackburn lawyers.

Brisbane 7-Eleven store underpaid staff $82,000: Ombudsman Twelve staff at a Brisbane 7-Eleven store were allegedly underpaid more than $80,000 over the course of a year, the Fair Work Ombudsman claims.


"Additional resources for education for migrant workers, greater deterrence for employers who exploit migrant workers and penalties, and additional protection for whistle-blowers," said Mr Sivaraman of Maurice Blackburn lawyers.


A state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) was set up with Leissner's assistance, and Goldman was paid sky-high commissions for bond sales.

The sum of three bond sales for 1MDB back in 2012 and 2013, totaling as much as $6.5 billion, reportedly yielded fees, commissions and expenses for Goldman of almost $593 million, the equivalent of 9.1 percent of the money raised.

"If it exceeds the limit Malaysia sets for investment managers of a fund, then Goldman will have to deal with some negative kickback from Malaysia," said Dick Bove, a bank industry analyst at Rafferty Capital Markets.

Another person who has considered the Goldman case said with a wink that there may have been multiple "managers" feeding off Goldman's lucrative Malaysian business in effect, accepting kickbacks.


Leissner, an 18-year Goldman vet with access to the highest reaches of government in Malaysia, likely made millions from Goldman deals he led that later turned controversial, one person told The Post.

Cologne: Only three out of 58 men arrested over mass sex attack on New Year's Eve are recent refugees - Majority of suspects are of Algerian, Tunisian or Moroccan descent and none had recently arrived in Germany, police say.

Just three of the 58 suspects arrested in connection with the mass sex attack on women in Cologne on New Year's Eve were refugees, it has been reported.

Refugees were blamed for more than 1,000 reports of theft, sex assault and rape of women at Cologne's central train station - leading to a hardening of attitudes towards Chancellor Angela Merkel's open door policy on refugees.

Germany reacts to Cologne New Year's Eve attacks Germany has seen a spike in racially motivated arson attacks on refugees' homes since the incident with vigilante gangs threatening to "clean up" Cologne.

It comes as the police reported 22 cases of sexual assault at the Cologne carnival - including a Belgian TV reporter who was groped live on air by man who appeared to be of European descent.


Israel boycott ban: Shunning Israeli goods to become criminal offence for public bodies and student unions - Critics say move amounts to a 'gross attack on democratic freedoms'.

Local councils, public bodies and even some university student unions are to be banned by law from boycotting "unethical" companies, as part of a controversial crackdown being announced by the Government.

A spokesman for the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "The Government's decision to ban councils and other public bodies from divesting from trade or investments they regard as unethical is an attack on local democracy.

In 2014 Leicester City Council passed a policy to boycott goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank while the Scottish Government published a procurement notice to Scottish councils which "strongly discourages trade and investment from illegal settlements".

"As if it is not enough that the UK Government has failed to act when the Israeli government has bombed and killed thousands of Palestinian civilians and stolen their homes and land, the Government is now trying to impose its inaction on all other public bodies," he said.


The decision followed a concerted campaign to persuade it to halt its work in West Bank settlements, during which the Labour-controlled Birmingham council became at least the third to warn Veolia that it might not renew its 35m-a-year waste disposal contract when it ran out in 2019, if the company continued to operate in the occupied West Bank.

UN Report: 2015 a Record Bad Year for Civilians in Afghanistan.

Civilian casualties from the war in Afghanistan reached record levels for the seventh year in a row in 2015, according to a report released Sunday by the United Nation.

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) blamed mounting ground fighting between Western-backed government forces and insurgent groups for at least 3,545 civilian deaths, with a further 7,457 Afghans wounded in 2015, a 4 percent increase in casualties from the year before.

Ground fighting was listed as the leading cause of civilian casualties at 37 percent, followed by roadside bombs at 21 percent and suicide attacks at 17 percent.


The United States' bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, which killed 42 staff, patients, family members and injured another 43, was the main reason civilian casualties caused by international military forces increased by 9 percent in 2015.


Haiti Finally Gets an Interim President.

US urges Turkey to halt Kurdish militia shelling in Syria. 

Turkey and Saudi Arabia have warned that they will send ground forces into Syria if an agreement isn't reached for a pause in the fighting.


Turkey shells Syrian Kurds, Russia says will keep bombing anti-Assad rebels.

BEIRUT/MUNICH (Reuters) - The Turkish army shelled Kurdish militia in northern Syria for a second day on Sunday, while Russia made clear it would continue bombing Syrian rebel targets, raising doubts that a planned ceasefire would bring much relief.

The Kurdish YPG militia, helped by Russian air raids, seized an ex-military air base at Menagh last week, angering Turkey, which sees the YPG as an extension of the PKK, a Kurdish group that waged a bloody insurgent campaign on Turkish soil over most of the past three decades.

The Syrian Kurdish PYD party rejected Turkish demands for withdrawal, while the Syrian government said Turkish shelling of northern Syria amounted to direct support for insurgent groups.

Kurdish-backed forces were fighting with insurgent groups near Tel Rifaat in the northern Aleppo countryside, while further south, government forces renewed their shelling of rebel positions to the northwest of Aleppo city.


But the Kremlin statement made clear Russia would continue bombing raids against Islamic State and "other terroristic organizations", an indication that it would also be targeting groups in western Syria where jihadists such as al Qaeda are fighting President Bashar al-Assad in close proximity to rebels deemed moderate by the West.

Addicts can be sentenced to treatment - Norway’s conservative minority government, with support from most all other parties in Parliament, is making it possible for courts to sentence drug-addicted convicts to treatment programs instead of to jail. The treatment option will go into effect immediately.

It's billed as an alternative sentence for drug addicts convicted of crimes tied to their addiction.

"We're rolling out the program that has been tested since 2006, in which addicts have been sentenced to treatment with concrete follow-up," Anundsen said on Friday.

Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported that as part of the program, convicts will enter individually tailored drug rehabilation, combining both health care and educational or vocational aspects.


Hedda Giertsen, a professor of criminology at the University of Oslo, said the program is a good one, but the addicts who become repeat offenders could have been offered the program without going through the courts. Source

Teen girl sent by Boko Haram rips off suicide vest, refuses to bomb refugee camp - Girl was among thousands held captive for months by extremist group, local government official says. 

Strapped with a booby-trapped vest and sent by the extremist Boko Haram group to kill as many people as possible, a young teenage girl tore off the explosives and fled as soon as she was out of sight of her handlers.

Boko Haram's six-year-old Islamic insurgency has killed 20,000 people, made 2.5 million homeless and spread across Nigeria's borders.

The extremists have kidnapped thousands of people and the increasing number of suicide bombings by girls and children have raised fears they are turning some captives into weapons.

The latest atrocity blamed on Boko Haram extremists was committed against people who had been driven from their homes by the insurgents and had spent a year across the border in Cameroon.


The scene of the killings is 50 kilometres from the border with Cameroon and 85 kilometres northeast of Maiduguri, the biggest city in the northeast and birthplace of Boko Haram. Source

Schengen zone: EU gives Greece deadline on borders. 

The European Union has given Greece three months to fix its border controls, in a move that could allow other Schengen zone states to maintain internal border controls.

Article 26 of the Schengen Borders Code allows countries to keep temporary border controls in place for a maximum of two years, "in exceptional circumstances".

But a few nations, including Germany, Austria and Sweden have been allowed to put in place some controls at specific frontiers to deal with the refugee flows.

The European Commission has made clear the move will not isolate Greece from the Schengen area or be about suspending Schengen, but will allow other countries to deal with the consequences of the problems Greece is having controlling its borders.

The Schengen agreement on freedom of movement is in jeopardy - Hungary fenced off its borders with Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia; meanwhile Germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and France also reimposed border controls. Source

Four billion people face severe water scarcity, new research finds - Water shortages affecting two-thirds of world’s population for a month every year and the crisis is far worse than previously thought.

At least two-thirds of the global population, over 4 billion people, live with severe water scarcity for at least one month every year, according to a major new analysis.

It analysed data from 1996-2005 and found severe water scarcity defined as water use being more than twice the amount being replenished affected 4 billion people for at least one month a year.

Another unique aspect of the new research was that it included environmental water requirements, ie the water needed to ensure that life survives in the rivers and lakes.

Hoekstra said caps on water use should be put in place for all river basins, companies should be transparent about how much water is needed to make their products and look to reduce it while investors should incorporate water sustainability into their decision-making. Source
