Israel uncooperative in UN flotilla probe
Israel has refused to cooperate with the UN Human Rights Council in a probe into a deadly Israeli attack on an international Gaza-bound aid convoy, a UN official says.
A member of the UN fact-finding mission, Juan Carlos Monge, said Israel has not allowed free access to officials and witnesses unlike Turkey and Jordan.
Tel Aviv said on Tuesday that it would not comment on the UN official's claim, Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer heads the UN panel, with former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe acting as its vice chairman.
On May 31, Israeli commandos attacked the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla in international waters, killing nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists.
Dozens of the activists onboard the ship suffered injuries during the assault and many reportedly had their belongings stolen.
The convoy was carrying thousands of tons of supplies for 1.5 million impoverished people of Gaza, who have been under siege since 2007.
The UN committee is expected to disclose the results of its investigation into the Israeli attack in an initial progress report in mid-September.

British government mouthpiece BBC or British Broadcasting Corporation is put under the eye of media analysts over its coverage of the siege on Gaza.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the principal public service broadcaster in the United Kingdom, headquartered in the Broadcasting House in the City of Westminster, London.[1] It is the largest broadcaster in the world, with about 23,000 staff.[2][3][4] Its global headquarters are located in London, and its main responsibility is to provide public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The BBC is an autonomous public service broadcaster[4] that operates under a Royal Charter.[5] Within the United Kingdom its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee,[6] which is charged to all United Kingdom households, companies and organisations using any type of equipment to record and/or receive live television broadcasts;[7] the level of the fee is set annually by the British Government and agreed by Parliament.[8]
The Gaza War was a three-week armed conflict that took place in the Gaza Strip and Southern Israel during the winter of 2008--2009. In an escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israel responded to Hamas "Operation Oil Stain" rocket fire[36] with military force in an action titled "Operation Cast Lead". Israel opened the attack with a surprise air strike against the Gaza Strip on December 27, 2008.[37] Israel's stated aim was to stop rocket fire[38] from and arms import into the territory.[39][40] Israeli forces attacked military targets, police stations, and Hamas government buildings in the opening assault.[41]

April 25, marks the anniversary of failure of US military aggression to Tabas.
Thirty years ago on April 25, 1980, the US staged a military aggression against Iran's soil with a number of choppers and planes.
The US administration, whose different plots to defeat the sacred Islamic system had failed, launched this military aggression with the goal of releasing the spies that had been detained throughout the seizure of US spy den in Tehran.
Meanwhile, despite precise planning, usage of advanced equipment, and numerous exercises that the Americans had done in similar locations, this military assault failed due to occurrence of a sand storm throughout the deserts in the vicinity of the city of Tabas, central Iran, while a number of US choppers and planes caught fire; a number of US troopers were killed; and the rest of these US troopers fled Iran's soil. The Americans had planned to fly to Tehran with a chopper, after landing in the city of Tabas. The occurrence of a sand storm astounded the American officials, who had made all the essential arrangements and had even studied the weather conditions.
In fact, with divine blessings, US military aggression was doomed to fail.
Meanwhile, in reference to the humiliating military failure of the US in Tabas, the Founder of Islamic Republic of Iran late Imam Khomeini (May his soul rest in peace) noted now that the Great Satan has committed such an absurd act, the honorable Iranian nation should become fully prepared for confrontation with the enemies, with all its potential and through reliance on God's strength.
April 25, 1980 is a memorable day for the Iranian nation. This date is unforgettable for the Iranian nation because on this day the Iranian people were blessed by the Almighty in the face of the enemy's plot and conspiracy. This day will also not be forgotten in US history, because it showed that sole reliance on military equipment in confrontation with faithful people will not bring about victory.
Tabas incident paved the way for further unity and solidarity of Iran's revolutionary forces, while also proving Islamic Revolution's righteousness throughout the international community. Throughout the course of this incident, the true ominous visage of the enemy was revealed more than ever and the divine nature of Islamic Revolution was proved to the international community.
In fact, this sand storm unveiled the ugly visage of Washington's rulers and displayed their clear aggression, which was in violation to international rules and regulations.

Muslim Woman Beaten to Death in Hate Crime California She Died on March 24th 2012, A 32-year-old woman was critically injured and not expected to survive after an assault in her El Cajon home on Wednesday, police said Friday, and a threatening note telling the mother of five to go back to her home country was found near her, a family friend said.
The woman's 17-year-old daughter found her unconscious in the dining room of the house on Skyview Street off Lemon Avenue about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, said El Cajon police Lt. Steve Shakowski. Police identified her as Shaima Alawadi.
"Based on the type of injuries Alawadi sustained, and other evidence retrieved at the scene, this case is being investigated as a homicide," Shakowski said.
Police did not disclose the contents of the note. Sura Alzaidy, a family friend, said it told the family to "go back to your own country. You're a terrorist." The family is from Iraq, and Alawadi is a "respectful modest muhajiba," meaning she wears the traditional hijab, a head scarf, Alzaidy said.
El Cajon police Lt. Mark Coit said the family stated they had found a similar note earlier this month, however did not report it to authorities.
The daughter who found her mother told KUSI Channel 9/51 on Friday night that her mother had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron. She said her mother had dismissed the previous note, found outside the house, thinking it was a child's prank.

Court shown fatal US police beating video - 10May12 - All Languages
Two US police officers have been ordered to stand trial in the death of a mentally ill homeless man following a violent arrest last summer.
California's Orange County Superior Court Judge Walter...
Two US police officers have been ordered to stand trial in the death of a mentally ill homeless man following a violent arrest last summer.
California's Orange County Superior Court Judge Walter Schwarm made the ruling after a hearing that included surveillance video of the confrontation between the officers and 37-year-old Kelly Thomas in the city of Fullerton.
Officer Manuel Ramos is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Jay Cicinelli is charged with involuntary manslaughter and assault or battery by a public officer. Both have pleaded not guilty.
The officers confronted Thomas while responding to reports that a homeless man was looking into parked cars at a transit center.
"This is another victory, on another battle," said Thomas' father, Ron. "We're going to start a new one with the trial."
John Barnett, Ramos' attorney, said he would seek another court's review of Schwarm's ruling and did not expect his client would end up facing a jury trial.
"We're disappointed that they were held to answer but we will seek review in an appropriate manner," he told reporters after the ruling. "He believes, and he is innocent."
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said during the hearing that Ramos bullied a shirtless Thomas with his menacing remarks and aggressive stance — actions that would have led anyone to fear they were about to get beaten by police.
"Any person, any creature on this earth would have fear at that point," Rackauckas told the court during the preliminary hearing.
"You're going to fight or flee because this is an imminent threat of a serious beating by a police officer who is there with a baton and a gun and other police officers.... This is going to be a very bad deal," the prosecutor said.
Defence attorneys countered that police — who are authorised and trained to use force when necessary — viewed the incident as an encounter with a man who refused to give his name and continued to resist arrest even as multiple officers rushed to assist.
The three-day hearing was marked by repeated showing of clips from surveillance video and audio recordings of the confrontation. The footage includes scenes of officers pummelling and pinning down Thomas as he screams that he can't breathe and moans for his father until he goes silent and is taken away by medics, leaving behind a pool of blood.
Barnett, Ramos' attorney, said during the hearing that the video — which was introduced by the prosecution — shows that his client made a conditional threat during his conversation with Thomas, stating he wanted the man to start listening and following police orders, such as sitting with his legs stretched out and providing his name to officers.
"All that Kelly Thomas had to do was simply comply," Barnett said. "Officer Ramos just lifts him up, he's going to arrest him. ... Not only can he do it, he must do it. He is bound to do it."
"Officer Ramos didn't do anything that should or could kill Kelly Thomas," Barnett said, pointing out that his client is often seen on the video at the man's feet.
Prosecutors have argued that Ramos punched Thomas in the ribs, tackled him and lay on him to hold him down while Cicinelli — who arrived later on the scene — used a Taser four times on Thomas as he hollered in pain and hit him in the face eight times with the Taser.
Thomas lost consciousness and was taken to a hospital. He was taken off life support and died five days later.
The coroner's office found that Thomas died from compression of his chest that made it difficult for him to breathe and deprived his brain of oxygen, and facial injuries stemming from his confrontation with law enforcement.
In court, Schwartz, Cicinelli's attorney, challenged those findings, noting that testimony by a paramedic who treated Thomas at the scene indicates that Thomas was breathing, although with difficulty, during the confrontation.
Schwartz also defended his client's use of the Taser on Thomas, who was still struggling and resisting officers' efforts to handcuff him, and said Cicinelli only swung the Taser at Thomas' hand when the man made an effort to grab the weapon.
"To call that a crime is to effectively handcuff our police officers out in the field from dealing with any combative suspect," Schwartz said.
The hearing in a Santa Ana courtroom was marked by lengthy testimony from medical experts and graphic photos of Thomas' injuries, including multiple bruises and a bloodied eye, while he was lying on the autopsy table.
Attorneys repeatedly played portions of the grainy surveillance video, which was paired with audio from digital recorders worn by some of the officers who were present and which brought some of Thomas' supporters to tears and prompted them to leave the courtroom.
The incident last July prompted an ongoing FBI investigation to determine if Thomas' civil rights were violated, an internal probe by the city, protests by residents and an effort to recall three Fullerton councilmembers that is slated for next month's ballot.
The recall was sparked after angry residents chastised the council members for failing to take significant action regarding the incident.

[13 June 2012] Russia will confront any US - led attack on Syria Webster Tarpley - English
Israel is apparently laying the groundwork for a possible military attack on Syria by alleging that Damascus could be using chemical weapons against the Syrian people. Tel Aviv has recently expressed concern about what it calls the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Israel says the weapons could fall into the wrong hands and that they may even be used by Syria to carry out an attack against Israeli forces. The pretext is being used to justify a possible military assault on Syria even if it means triggering a broader conflict across the region. Ayoob Kara, a senior member of the Israeli Likud Party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed in an interview with Israel Radio on June 9 that the Syrian government has used "chemical weapons against men, women, and children" during the past months of unrest in the country.
Press TV talks with Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and historian in Washington, to further shed light on the issue.

Victims of the 1988 chemical gas attack in Iraqi Kurdistan are taking legal action against foreign firms. Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein bought tons of chemical weapons from European firms for his assault on Kurdistan\'s Halabja town. The head of Halabja\'s Chemical Victims Society has called on families of victims to file lawsuits against the firms that armed the Iraqi dictator.
In June a group of victims filed a lawsuit against two European firms. Dutch businessman Frans van Anraat sold tons of chemicals used in the Halabja attack.
Halabja\'s genocide victims say they are determined to seek justice from any country and any business involved in selling chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein. But the victims also want to send a clear message against the use of chemical weapons by any country in the future.

Latest media reports from Syria say insurgents fighting against the government plan to use a group of nuns kidnapped from their convent in the town of Ma\'loula as human shields.
The 12 Syrian and Lebanese nuns were kidnapped from a Greek Orthodox convent after the notorious al-Nusra Front militants took over parts of the Christian town. The nuns were then taken to Yabrud - a town under insurgent control north of Damascus. This, as Syrian forces have been deployed to the historic town to restore security there. The militants took over the town on Monday after rolling explosive-filled tires down the hills onto government forces, following three days of intense fighting. The kidnappings have drawn condemnation from the Vatican. Iran has also slammed the assault on the Christian religious site and called for the immediate release of the nuns. It\'s also urged the international community to take immediate action to prevent such criminal acts from taking place in the future.

Egypt\'s public prosecutor has ordered the trial of three political activists on charges of protesting without permission and an alleged assault on police. Among those to stand trial is Ahmed Maher, the founder of the April 6 movement. The movement helped ignite the popular uprising in 2011 that led to the ouster of former dictator Hosni Mubarak. Still, no date has been fixed for the trial. But this is the first case of activists being charged under the provisions of a new, controversial protest law. The Interim President, Adly Mansour signed the Law in November. It bans gatherings of more than 10 people without prior permit. Critics have described the move as an attempt to stifle the right to public protest.

The Iraqi military has destroyed the camps of al-Qaeda-linked militants in Anbar province.
The assault comes after several senior officers and soldiers were killed during an operation against militants in the western province. The Iraqi defense ministry says the reason behind the rise in violence in Iraq is the spillover of the war in neighboring Syria. Baghdad says it has information that shows the arrival of weapons and advanced equipment from Syria to Anbar and Nineveh provinces. The build-up is said to have encouraged al-Qaeda-linked militants to revive some of their camps that had been destroyed in 2008. Deadly violence in Iraq has surged to the highest levels since 2008, when the country was on the brink of an all-out civil war.

Syrian opposition sources say over 300 people have been killed in eight days of government airstrikes in the city of Aleppo. Press TV cannon verify the authenticity of the following footage.
The opposition accuses Damascus of using TNT-filled crude barrels to bomb insurgent strongholds in the city. It says the tactic fails to distinguish between civilians and militants. The Syrian government has not yet commented on the accusations put forward by the opposition. Meanwhile, the main foreign-backed opposition, the so-called Syrian National Coalition says it will NOT attend planned peace talks in Geneva if government planes continue bombing Aleppo. The city\\\'s been split between insurgents and government forces since a massive militant assault in mid-2012. The army has recently intensified its offensive there to oust the foreign-backed insurgents.

[April 17, 2015] ONU llama a un alto al fuego inmediato en Yemen - Spanish

Al transcurrir más de tres semanas de la agresión saudí en Yemen, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), pidió el jueves, a todas las partes involucradas en ese conflicto que declaren un cese al fuego inmediato, aunque se negó a condenar las ofensivas de Riad contra esa nación desheredada.
“El país más pobre de la región de Oriente Medio sufría de una crisis (humanitaria) incluso antes de los ataques (...) Es por eso que llamo a un alto inmediato al fuego en Yemen”, indicó el secretario general de la ONU, Ban Ki-moon, en el Club Nacional de Prensa en Washington, Estados Unidos, donde se encuentra en su gira de trabajo.
Al indicar que el nivel de la inseguridad alimenticia en Yemen supera el de los países más pobres africanos, el secretario general de la ONU afirmó que el actual conflicto ha agravado la situación bastante precaria, en que se encuentra esa nación.
En el mismo contexto, la Organización de Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO, por sus siglas en inglés) advirtió el miércoles de la escasez y la inseguridad alimentaria en Yemen, una situación que puede empeorar debido a la agresión saudí.
Asimismo, Ban pidió apoyar la creación de corredores de ayuda humanitaria, así como los diálogos para un proceso de paz duradera en ese país del suroeste asiático.
Es de mencionar que en la jornada del miércoles, la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas para la Coordinación de Asuntos Humanitarios (OCHA, por sus siglas en inglés) alertó sobre la interrupción del suministro de ayudas humanitarias en Yemen debido a las inspecciones de Arabia Saudí.
El alto funcionario de la ONU, sin condenar los sangrientos ataques saudíes, prosiguió que las autoridades saudíes le aseguraron que “entendían” la necesidad de un proceso político en Yemen, por lo que Ban pidió a todos los yemeníes que participen en ese proceso “de buena fe”.
De igual manera, el alto responsable de ONU consideró que un proceso diplomático será la mejor solución para salir de esa situación que supone una amenaza para la estabilidad regional.
Este ente internacional apoya a un proceso político entre los yemeníes, mientras que Riad, apoyado por sus aliados árabes, está llevando a cabo una ofensiva militar en ese país soberano, privándole así a la nación yemení de solucionar sus propias discrepancias entre sí.
Ban además, resaltó los desafíos a los que se enfrenta la gente en diferentes partes del mundo, entre ellos, la crisis de los refugiados, la solicitud para financiar ayuda humanitaria, la discriminación y el terrorismo.
Las declaraciones de Ban se produjeron en la misma jornada en que el canciller iraní, Mohamad Yavad Zarif, mediante una conversación telefónica con Ban, destacó la necesidad de un cese de los bombardeos del régimen saudí en el territorio yemení.
Cabe mencionar que Zarif propuso el pasado 14 de abril, un plan de cuatro puntos para poner fin a la crisis en Yemen y acabar así con la agresión saudí, compuesto por “un alto el fuego total”, la entrega de “ayuda humanitaria”, un “diálogo yemení-yemení” y la formación de un “gobierno de base amplia”.
Con la luz verde de Estados Unidos, Arabia Saudí comenzó el pasado 26 de marzo, una ofensiva aérea contra Yemen sin el visto bueno de las Naciones Unidas, en un intento por restaurar en el poder al expresidente fugitivo Abdu Rabu Mansur Hadi, un fiel aliado de Riad.
El secretario general de la ONU expresó el pasado 9 de abril su preocupación por la intervención militar de Riad en Yemen, advirtiendo de que agudiza aún más la crisis en este país y amenaza la región.
El portavoz del Ejército yemení, el coronel Sharaf Luqman informó el pasado 13 de abril, que como consecuencia de estos ataques, al menos 2571 civiles han perdido la vida, incluidos 381 niños menores de 15 años y 214 mujeres, 5 de ellas embarazadas.
