Lithuania fears Lukashenko will sign away Belarus independence to RussiaBelarusian President Alexander Lukashenko could be about to give away his country's independence by signing an agreement on deeper integration with Russia, Lithuania's foreign minister said on Monday. Russian President Vladimir Putin has for many years pushed for closer ties with Belarus under the auspices of a unified state, and raised the idea again last month. Lukashenko has in the past rejected such moves, accusing Russia of wanting to swallow up his country, but now faces protests and the threat of Western sanctions over an Aug. 9 presidential election which opponents say was rigged.

Extreme wide shot North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visiting damaged area ///-----------------------------------------------------------AFP TEXT STORY: N. Korea's Kim orders thousands to help typhoon recoverySeoul, Sept 6, 2020 (AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered 12,000 elite members of his ruling party based in Pyongyang to help with recovery efforts in two rural provinces lashed by a powerful typhoon, state media reported Sunday.Typhoon Maysak brought days of heavy downpours to the country's east coast earlier this week even as the North was still reeling from earlier flooding and typhoon damage, and another storm is forecast to barrel through the peninsula by Tuesday.Natural disasters tend to have a greater impact in the North due to its creaking infrastructure, and the country is vulnerable to flooding as many mountains and hills have long been deforested.More than 1,000 homes were destroyed by Maysak and public buildings and farmland were inundated with floodwater across North and South Hamgyong provinces, the official KCNA news agency reported.Kim inspected the damage on Saturday and held a policy meeting on disaster relief efforts, KCNA said.He also dismissed the chairman of the South Hamgyong provincial party committee, the report added.Photos carried by Sunday's official Rodong Sinmun newspaper showed Kim standing in front of destroyed homes and toppled trees as he discussed the situation with officials.In a two-page handwritten open letter to members of the ruling Workers' Party in Pyongyang, Kim said around 12,000 members from the capital will be sent to the two provinces to help with the recovery ahead of a key holiday next month.North Korea will mark the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the party on October 10."We cannot let a lot of people in South Hamgyong Province and North Hamgyong Province who newly suffered damage spend the holiday homeless," Kim was quoted as saying in the letter, which was carried by the Rodong Sinmun.The damage was an "urgent situation which needs to be tackled without even a moment's delay", he added.The report did not say how many were injured, missing or dead.In 2016 at least 138 North Koreans died after torrential rain triggered major floods, the United Nations said at the time.In the summer of 2012 more than 160 people were killed by a massive rainstorm.sh/axn

German foreign minister raises spectre of Nord Stream 2 sanctions over Navalny poisoning

Posted: 05 Sep 2020 09:55 PM PDT

German foreign minister raises spectre of Nord Stream 2 sanctions over Navalny poisoningGermany could drop the Nord Stream 2 pipeline as punishment for the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Berlin said for the first time on Sunday as it threatened the Kremlin with sanctions. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that "I hope... that the Russians do not force us to change our position on Nord Stream," in comments made to Bild newspaper. Mr Maas said that Berlin "would be compelled" to raise the issue of sanctions with its allies if Russia did not take steps towards investigating Mr Navalny's poisoning in the coming days. " If the Russians don't take part in solving the case then it is a further indication that they were involved," Mr Maas said. "If they don't go beyond smoke and mirrors we'll have to assume that Russia has something to hide." British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said that "The use of chemical weapons in this kind of context is pure gangsterism and Russia does have responsibility never to use it as a government, and second of all to make sure no-one else can use it within its territory." Nord Stream 2 is a new pipeline that would allow more Russian gas to flow to Europe via Germany, and is of strategic importance to Russia. But cancelling the project would be an ultima ratio for Germany, given its own financial interest in seeing the project through. There is little over 100 kilometres of the multi-billion euro pipeline still to be laid, but nothing has happened on the project since the US - which is opposed to it - threatened the companies involved with severe sanctions last December. And since a German army laboratory confirmed on Wednesday that Mr Navalny had been the victim of an assassination attempt with the nerve gas Novichok, domestic pressure has grown on the German government to cancel the gas line. Even within the ruling Christian Democratic Union party, influential foreign policy expert Norbert Röttgen said that "if the project were to be completed that would give Putin the ultimate proof that he can carry on with his politics as normal. A European decision should be: stop Nord Stream 2." Mr Maas made clear though that he wanted to avoid hitting the gas line if at all possible. "Those calling for a stop need to know what the consequences are," he said. "There are more than 100 companies from 12 European countries involved, and roughly half of them are German." There are also indications that Chancellor Angela Merkel has shifted her stance after saying last week that the pipeline should remain "decoupled" from Navalny. The statement came in for criticism from sections of the media. Asked at Friday's press conference if she would repeat the statement, her spokesman, Stefan Seibert, declined to comment. Mr Navalny is currently lying in an artificially induced coma in Berlin's Charité hospital. Doctors say that his condition is improving but that he will have a long road to recovery.

Los Angeles County hits 121 degrees as California wildfires set records

Los Angeles County hits 121 degrees as California wildfires set recordsCalifornia wildfires have burned nearly 2.1 million acres so far in 2020, surpassing the record for the most land scorched in the state in a single year, CAL Fire Capt. Richard Cordova said Sunday. "This is crazy," Cordova said. "We haven't even got into the October and November fire season, and we've broken the all-time record."> Incredibly, this slipped in "under the radar" due to the more acute short-term wildfire crisis: 2020 has now eclipsed 2018 for the most acres burned in California in a single year during modern era (2,094,955 acres), & "offshore wind" season has not even arrived yet.CAwx CAfire pic.twitter.com/cP6cUYGHBq> > — Daniel Swain (@Weather_West) September 7, 2020The news came as a record-setting heat wave created new challenges for exhausted firefighters who had finally started making headway containing some of the biggest blazes. The temperature in Woodland Hills, California, reached 121 degrees on Sunday, the highest ever recorded in Los Angeles County. The new record was two degrees above the previous high set in 2006. The National Weather Service said the area could get even hotter as a dangerous heat wave continues in California, Nevada, and Arizona, and records could be broken in other parts of the region. San Luis Obispo recorded a temperature of 120 degrees at the Cal Poly weather station, shattering the previous record of 115 degrees, which was set during a 2017 heat wave. "This is unmatched, just unprecedented, unreal," said John Lindsey, a meteorologist with Pacific Gas and Electric. Gov.
