Germany spied on Turkey
17082014
Germany’s foreign intelligence agency eavesdropped at least one telephone conversation of US Secretary of State John Kerry and spied on NATO ally Turkey since 2009, Der Spiegel newspaper revealed on Saturday.
Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) picked up the phone call “by accident” in 2013, the weekly newspaper reported in a pre-publication citing unnamed sources. Kerry was discussing the Middle East tensions between Israelis, Palestinians and Arab states in a satellite link, according to Der Spiegel.
The new revelation comes after German media – Daily newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) and regional public broadcasters NDR and WDR – reported on Friday that BND intercepted at least one phone call made by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The date of the call was not given and the media said that it was also picked up“by accident”.
The German media retrieved the information of the hacking from documents that were passed to the CIA by one of its moles inside the BND.
On Saturday Der Spiegel reported that Clinton’s call recorded was intercepted in 2012. Clinton was in talks with former UN chief Kofi Annan, who had just returned from negotiations in Syria and wanted to brief the former Secretary of State.
The NDR added on Friday that Clinton wasn’t the only one spied on as “apparently, phone calls by US politicians and from other friendly nations have been repeatedly recorded and submitted to the respective BND President as instructed”.
“The fact that the recording wasn’t deleted immediately was called ‘idiocy’ by a member of the government in Berlin,” NDR reported.

Reserve the Rivers, Reverse the Sewers- An opinion
17082014
A dialogue began on exploitation of faith
New Delhi,
A demonstration was organized on 30th July 2014 to protest against the Government for utilizing the pollution issue of the river Ganga just to secure the vote bank. The dharna under the aegis of Dr. R. C. Sharma Memorial Research & Welfare Institute, the pioneer of Yamuna MuktiAandolan, simultaneously was also against the negative report submitted by the experts to Lieughtenant Governor, Delhi Nazib Jung on Sabarmati model likely to be adopted for Yamuna at the instructions of the prime minister. said the founder president Dr. S. C. Sharma.
Dr. Sharma criticized that Yamuna in Delhi has imposed serious questions towards the pollution therefore prime minister has also shifted hisattention from Yamuna and focussed on Ganga to eulogize the masses of the nation. As a matter of fact, pollution challenges in Ganga are of more complex in nature than Yamuna. And it happened so particularly after the formation of Uttarakhand in Himalayan region. Now the people in the mountains hardly visit the forest for toilets. Most of them have become modernized and flush toilets are used in abundance right from China border upto Devprayag, the beginingsource of holy river Ganga. As a result confluence of Mandakini and Alaknanda turns into a sewage canal from Devprayag itself. Ofcourse, it is the unpolluted water of Bhagirathi that dilutes the pollution of Alaknanda and Mandakini. And thus the devotees consume the Ganga nector at Rishikesh and Hardwar.
Dr. Sharma raised the question that pollution in Himalayan region neither invited the attention of state government nor the central to find a solution for existing problems but in newspapers and television time to time both Ganga and Yamuna are declared pollution free.
Dr. Sharma said that Yamuna pollution has rapidly become a national issue in order that not even a single river of the nation can be differentiated from the fidgeting condition of the river Yamuna. It has been the reason that on 8th June 2014 at the occasion of Ganga Dussehra a nationwide compaign ‘NadiyaanChhoro Sewer Joro’ began at VishramGhat in Mathura. The slogan carried a message that the population settled around the rivers of our nation considers the river water as pious and pure as Ganga and Yamuna are. Hence the degree of the people’s faith extended towards the river of the region gives them equal religious importance like Ganga and Yamuna. Notwithstanding equal religious importance of the rivers if Ganga and Yamuna are given priority, it shows the politics of vote bank only.
Dr. Sharma told the reporters that all the chief ministers of the different states have been intimated after launching of the campaign but except two or three states no response could be received on the issue by the caretaker of the states.
Dr. Sharma expressed his agony that Yamuna had been a subject of priority for national capital since 1911 but no mega project parallel to metro or commonwealth materialized to revive the grandeur past of the river. Even during the commonwealth games in 2011 a budget estimate of 800 crores of rupees was allotted for cleaning Yamuna in Delhi. And with this allocation of the budget all 18 highly contaminated drains of Delhi were likely to be taped from falling into Yamuna. But what to say of the corruption the budget for Commonwealth Games multiplied seven times (from 11,500 crores to 77,000 crores of rupees) but Yamuna could not claim even 8 rupees out of 800 crores of allotted budget for cleaning.
Dr. Sharma criticized the Government’s plan to connect the rivers without finding a solution for the sewers opened into the rivers. He emphasized that a long ago when the idea to inter connect the rivers was coined, they were not as much contaminated as they are at present. But now the situation has worsened and the capacity of fresh water available in the rivers has been reduced in comparison to waste water to be diluted. In this situation if sewers are not reversed from the rivers all the rivers will turn into sewers a day or so. And a day may come when entire population of the nation may be wiped out just merely by consuming poisoned air, water and the food.
For example the holy river in Mathura supposed to be one of the prime queens of Lord Krishna contains no fresh water from Yamunotri. The water in Yamuna between Delhi to Mathura is provided through 18 highly contaminated drains which may cause cancer if touched by hand. Then what to say of the Ministry of Health which has not yet issued any direction prohibiting Yamuna water being consumes by the devotees visiting Mathura for pilgrimage.Thus third Yamuna begins from Okhla whereas the first one ends at Tajewala 172 kms from Yamunotri followed by the second one at Wazirabad (496 kms) in Delhi.
Dr. Sharma in brief has requested the Government to reserve the rivers as they are and reverse the sewers by diverting them for agricultural usages,power generation and waste water applications. Thus aprosperous India may emerge even under adverse circumstances. And it needs a national policy to control the natural resources and human population as well.

Hamas rejects offers made in Cairo
17082014
Hamas has rejected offers made to Palestinian negotiators in Cairo seeking to end Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip and raised the possibility of renewed fighting when the current truce expires. Israel said it had also not yet accepted any proposals made in the Egyptian mediated talks but would continue attending them today. The current ceasefire is due to end on Monday night.
Gaza’s dominant Islamist group, Hamas wants an Israeli-Egyptian blockade on the coastal enclave lifted, as well as the establishment of a seaport and airport, as part of any enduring cessation of hostilities with Israel. The Israelis want Gaza to be disarmed under any long-term deal which Hamas rules out.

US airstrikes on ISIS part of operation to retake Mosul dam
17082014
Kurdish Peshmerga forces backed by US air strikes have launched assault to retake the strategic Mosul dam from the Islamic State militants. Kurdish Major General Abdelrahman Korini said they have seized control of the eastern side of the dam complex and several jihadists have been killed.
Meanwhile, US air strikes close to the dam have killed 11 IS militants and injured six . Jihadist militants seized control of Iraq’s largest dam north of their hub of Mosul earlier this month from Peshmerga forces.The dam on the Tigris provides electricity to large parts of northern Iraq and is crucial for irrigation in vast farming areas in Nineveh province. Control of the dam could give the jihadist militants the ability to flood major cities. The recapture of Mosul dam would be one of the most significant achievements in a fight back that is also getting international support.
Germany’s foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier met top Iraqi leaders in Baghdad and the Kurdish leaders in Erbil. He said in Baghdad that Germany will provide humanitarian aid worth 24 million dollar for the displaced persons in northern Iraq. The visit comes a day after the European Union decided to step up humanitarian and arms aid for the Kurdish troops fighting against the jihadist militants. Canada is sending two cargo planes to move military supplies into northern Iraq as part of the international effort to bolster Kurdish forces against Islamic militants. US and France are already sending weapons, while Britain has indicated it is also prepared to help arm the Kurdish forces fighting jihadist militants from the Islamic State.

17082014
India and Singapore have identified five areas for deepening co-operation and underscored the need for second review of their comprehensive economic cooperation agreement signed in 2005 to boost bilateral ties. The areas for expending cooperation are trade and investment, connectivity, smart cities with focus on urban development and water management, skill development and economic ties with Indian states. A joint statement issued in Singapore after the talks the External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had with Foreign Minister K Shanmugam hoped that negotiations between the two countries for the second review of their comprehensive economic cooperation agreement would be completed expeditiously to send a positive signal to business community. The two ministers jointly inaugurated the Year of India in Singapore to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations. Speaking on the occasion Mrs.Swaraj said the year-long celebrations would be used as an opportunity to find and develop new areas to deepen their engagement. She said the occasion will also be used to advance economic, defence and security cooperation and people to people contacts. She said it will be mutually beneficial to launch direct air connectivity between Singapore and the North East in India, particularly, Guwahati.
The two ministers also reviewed the outcome of the 47th ASEAN Ministerial and Related Meetings held in Myanmar, as well as matters related to the upcoming series of major multilateral meetings, such as the Asia-Europe Meeting, East Asia Summit and G-20 Summit. The Ministers also reaffirmed the importance of the growing and wide-ranging cooperation between ASEAN and India. They looked forward to the signing of the Services and Investment Chapters of the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement by the end of this year, a step which would bring ASEAN and India closer to achieving its goal of 100 billion dollars worth of ASEAN-India trade by 2015, the statement said.

Session on “The Companies Act 2013: A Reality Now! ”
17082014
Thursday, 28 August 2014; 1345-1830 hrs: IHC, New Delhi
The recently enacted Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) is a landmark legislation with far-reaching consequences on all companies incorporated in India. This is a landmark legislation that will have a wide ranging impact on corporate India. Corporate India continues to evolve at a fast pace leading to the emergence of a diverse set of stakeholders. The growth has led to a surge in consequences such as risk and default that seem to be visibly impacting the virtues of governance, which is precisely the area on which the Act promises to substantively raise the bar. The Act is also quite outward looking and in several areas attempts to harmonize with international requirements.

The Act in a comprehensive form purports to deal with various aspects of corporate India and Indian companies will have to closely examine these developments to develop a clear strategy at ensuring compliance per the new requirements.
To help decode the nuances and to get a better understanding of the New Act, the implications and the likely steps that companies will be required to take to address the new requirements and standards, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is organizing a session on “The Companies Act 2013: A Reality Now!” from 1345 – 1830 hrson 28th August 2014 atIndia Habitat Centre (IHC), New Delhi.

Cameron : Country to halt ISIS advance,
17082014
Islamic State fighters sweeping across Syria and Iraq are a direct threat to Britain and the country must use all of its “military prowess” to halt their advance, Prime Minister David Cameron said Sunday.
But the Conservative Party leader said he did not think British troops should be deployed in Iraq, and that he would consider working with Iran to combat the jihadist threat.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Cameron warned that the West faces a “generational struggle”.
“If we do not act to stem the onslaught of this exceptionally dangerous terrorist movement, it will only grow stronger until it can target us on the streets of Britain,” he said.
“I agree that we should avoid sending armies to fight or occupy, but we need to recognise that the brighter future we long for requires a long-term plan.
“Cameron argued that security could only be achieved “if we use all our resources — aid, diplomacy, our military prowess.
“He also said Britain needed to work with countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Egypt, Turkey “and perhaps even with Iran”.
A high-ranking Anglican bishop on Sunday slammed Cameron´s Middle East policy in a letter that had the backing of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
“We do not seem to have a coherent or comprehensive approach to Islamic extremism as it is developing across the globe,” the bishop of Leeds, Nicholas Baines, wrote in the letter, sent to the Observer newspaper.
Defence Minister Michael Fallon said on Saturday that Britain would keep up its surveillance flights over northern Iraq to try to stop more minority groups coming under jihadist attack.
Britain deployed Tornado fighter jets to Akrotiri earlier this month, which will now be joined by the Royal Air Force´s most modern surveillance aircraft, the Boeing RC-135 Rivet Joint.
Kurdish forces backed by US warplanes battled on Saturday to retake Iraq´s largest dam from jihadist fighters, a day after militants carried out a “massacre” of dozens of villagers.
Two months of violence have brought Iraq to the brink of breakup, and world powers relieved by the exit of long-time premier Nuri al-Maliki were sending aid to the displaced and arms to the Kurds. Kurdish forces attacked the Islamic State (IS) fighters who wrested the Mosul dam from them a week earlier
