Bill Clinton to coordinate Haiti relief efforts

Speaking on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been formally announced, U.N. diplomats and officials said Clinton was the most obvious choice to coordinate aid and reconstruction in the impoverished Caribbean nation. "The official announcement should come sometime this week," a U.N. official told Reuters. Another official said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon would formally appoint Clinton, who would "represent the U.N. at the strategic level" and coordinate aid, financial assistance and reconstruction. Several Security Council diplomats said Clinton had strong backing from U.N. member states. They said he was the right person for the job because he can combine his U.N. authority with his experience and...

Haiti warned to brace for another big quake

Haiti should be preparing for another major earthquake that could be triggered by the catastrophic one last month which killed up to 200,000 people and left the capital Port-au-Prince in ruins, experts say. Teams of geophysicists, who have been tracking movements in the fault line that slashes across Haiti and into the Dominican Republic, came to the nation last week to measure changes in the Earth's crust after the 7.0-magnitude quake on Jan. 12. Increased pressure on the fault after the quake could unleash another of the same...

Berlusconi 'dreams of Israel joining EU'

Even as the EU is dragging its feet in upgrading political ties with Israel, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi arrived yesterday saying he hoped someday to see Israel as a member of the European club. “I am here with eight of the most important ministers in my government for this bilateral meeting,” Berlusconi said at a reception, soon after landing, at the Prime Minister’s Office. He said Italy only has joint cabinet meetings – something that will happen Tuesday in Jerusalem – with “five of the most important European countries.” This shows, he said,..

Israeli officers get 'slap on wrist' for white phosphorus use in Gaza

Israel has reprimanded two senior army officers who were responsible for firing white phosphorus artillery shells at a UN compound during last year’s offensive in Gaza. In the first admission of any wrongdoing the Israeli military found that Brigadier-General Eyal Eisenberg and Colonel Ilan Malka were guilty “of exceeding their authority in a manner that jeopardised the lives of others”. The Israeli report was in response to a damning UN investigation into the Gaza war, which concluded that both Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group, had...

Compulsory full-body scans launched at Heathrow

Passengers using Heathrow and Manchester airports have been told that from today they will not be allowed to board their flights if they refuse to submit to full-body scans. The advanced imaging technology (AIT) scanners went into operation at the two airports at noon, despite concerns expressed by civil liberties campaigners. Birmingham airport will follow suit later this month, ahead of a national rollout. The new security measure for air passengers follows the attempted bomb attack aboard a US plane on Christmas Day. Umar Farouk...

Airport-security plan calls for 500 body scanners in '11

WASHINGTON — Body scanners that look under airline passengers' clothing for hidden weapons could be in nearly half the nation's airport checkpoints by late 2011, according to an Obama administration plan announced Monday. The $215 million proposal to acquire 500 scanners next year, combined with the 450 to be bought this year, marks the largest addition of airport-security...

Obama officials present a strategic redefining of Homeland Security's mission

The Obama administration Monday delivered to Congress the nation's first Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, defining homeland security for the first time as including hazards beyond terrorism, in a strategic document intended to drive long-term budget decisions. Congress mandated the high-level strategic review in 2007, two years after...

'No peace with Syria could mean war'

In the absence of a peace deal with Syria, Israel could find itself at war with its neighbor to the north, Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Monday. Speaking at an annual gathering of top IDF officers, Barak said that it was crucial to open negotiations as soon as possible and to do so while the other side – Syria – perceived Israel as being strong. The coming year, Barak said, would be one of many challenges but also of opportunities for peace with Syria and the Palestinians. “In the absence of a deal with Syria we could reach an armed conflict...

U.S. seeks calm as China fumes over Taiwan arms

The arms sales, the latest by the United States but the first by the Obama administration, has added to a litany of strains between the world's biggest and third-biggest economies, including the value of China's currency, trade protectionism, Internet freedoms and Tibet. The official China Daily said U.S. weapons sales to the self-ruled island, which China claims as its own, "inevitably cast a long shadow on Sino-U.S. relations." "China's response, no matter how vehement, is justified. No country worthy of respect can sit idle while its national...

Vitter wants answers about Detroit bomber

Sen. David Vitter, Louisiana Republican, said Monday the Obama administration still needs to explain before Congress its mishandling of the Christmas Day bomber and that its "crazy," post-arrest comments have erode the confidence of Americans. Mr. Vitter's sharpest criticism was directed at Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her comment after the failed Dec. 25 bombing of a U.S.-bound flight that "the system worked." "Clearly, those initial comments were crazy," he said during an interview with The Washington Times'...

Pentagon preparing for cyber conflicts

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Defense Department is putting cyberspace on a par with land, sea, air and space as a potential conflict zone, and developing new ways to operate there, a top-level Pentagon's strategy review said Monday. "Cyberspace is now as relevant a domain for DoD activities as the naturally occurring domains of land, sea, air and space," said the study, required once every four years by Congress. DoD is short for Department of Defense. President Barack Obama's administration will continue to explore the implications of...

Economists in Davos Look with Concern to 2010

Many countries have started to see a rebound from last year's economic recession. But will it last? Economists at the World Economic Forum in Davos warn that paying down massive public debt will be "very, very painful." Deep spending cuts and significant tax hikes may be unavoidable. For those now in their 30s, Kenneth Rogoff has bad news. "It will be terrible for you," the Harvard University economics professor told a young German at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Germany's debt is exploding, the population is aging," he said.

Wall of Junk Debt Maturities Looms, Moody’s Says

The boom in the high-yield debt markets has bought time and breathing space for companies needing extra financial flexibility. But that has come at a cost, according to the latest annual report by Moody’s Investors Service: more than $700 billion will come due between 2012 and 2014. Thanks to both the earlier buyout boom, born of an unprecedented wave of cheap credit, and the recent reopening of the financial markets, companies with speculative-grade paper will find themselves in need of refinancing or repayment in a few years. Whether the...

Stimulus: Secret sequel in the budget

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- They're not calling it Stimulus 2, but the Obama administration wants to extend the life of several Recovery Act provisions by building them into the federal budget. The president's $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal 2011, unveiled Monday, calls for giving states more money for Medicaid and infrastructure projects, as well as renewing tax breaks for workers, small businesses and municipalities issuing bonds. It also requests additional funding for Obama's educational reform initiative, Race to the Top. All these were key provisions...

Paulson didn't believe GM would fail, refused to meet with exec

Washington -- Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson repeatedly refused to meet with General Motors chief executive Rick Wagoner -- and then didn't believe him when he warned the company could collapse by Nov. 7, 2008. In a new memoir published today by Business Plus books, "On The Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System," Paulson recounts the Bush administration's deep reluctance to save Detroit automakers. For President George W. Bush, who ultimately saved GM and Chrysler...

Pope attacks Labour laws on equality

Benedict XVI claimed that legislation introduced by Labour to end discrimination “actually violates natural law” because it stopped worshippers remaining true to their beliefs. Rather than making society more equal, the Government’s new rules limited religious freedom, he said. His strongly worded intervention in British politics comes after leaders of both the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England clashed with Labour over its Equality Bill, which they fear will make them admit homosexuals to the priesthood or face prosecution for...

Patriarch Kirill's first year: priests in barracks, religion in schools, better ties with Catholics

Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has led important changes in the country, which included the introduction of chaplains in military units and the launch of Orthodox culture courses teaching in schools a year since he was enthroned as head of the world's largest Orthodox Church. Kirill held a Divine...

Germany Shaken By 'Systematic' Sexual Abuse at Berlin Catholic School

A priest last week admitted in a statement to SPIEGEL he had abused a number of pupils at an elite Berlin high school run by Jesuit priests. In recent days, around 20 former students have come forward alleging they were sexually abused by priests at the school. The director of Canisius...

A Quarter of U.S. Nuclear Plants Leaking

Radioactive tritium, a carcinogen discovered in potentially dangerous levels in groundwater at the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, now taints at least 27 of the nation's 104 nuclear reactors — raising concerns about how it is escaping from the aging nuclear plants. The leaks — many from deteriorating underground pipes — come as the nuclear industry is seeking and obtaining federal license renewals, casting itself as...

Leaked climate change emails scientist 'hid' data flaws

Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the centre of the leaked emails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based. A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia's climatic research unit has found evidence that a series of measurements...

55 countries send UN their carbon-curbing plans

Fifty-five countries have submitted pledges for curbing greenhouse gas emissions to the UN climate convention. Governments were asked to do so before 31 January by the "Copenhagen Accord", the document produced at December's UN climate summit in the Danish capital. In some cases the pledges are weaker than those made before the summit. The UN's top climate official, Yvo de Boer, said the pledges would invigorate the...

Miracle spray-on glass: Invisible film repels dirt, kills bugs and makes cleaning easy

It sounds like an invention from science-fiction: A spray-on form of glass that fights off superbugs, protects clothes from stains and even keeps wine fresh. If that were not enough, the liquid glass also makes ovens and bathrooms a doddle to clean - and just one spray could last for a year. The miracle solution, which goes on sale in DIY shops this spring, is based on silica, the main component of normal glass. Mixed with water or alcohol and sprayed on any surface...

Is Human Spaceflight Running Out of Time?

Now the rocket booster smoke is clearing, it's becoming clear that NASA's direction for manned space exploration has been re-routed. The much feared "5-year gap" between the Shuttle getting retired and the Constellation Program taking flight could soon be re-named the "10-year plus chasm." In short, forget US astronauts on the Moon and put your dreams on hold for any NASA manned...
