| Hawaii volcano: Kilauea could explosively erupt sending rocks and ash for miles, says US Geological Survey Posted: 09 May 2018 02:33 PM PDT  An erupting Hawaii volcano that has been belching out lava and gas could see "explosive eruptions" in the coming weeks, geologists have warned. The US Geological Survey cautioned that Kilauea volcano could blast "ballistic blocks" potentially weighing multiple tonnes as far as half a mile away. The risk of explosions is rising as a lava lake within a volcanic crater drops, which could result in water seeping in and setting off steam-driven blasts.

| US-backed Kurdish fighters resume anti-IS ops: coalition Posted: 08 May 2018 09:49 AM PDT  A US-backed Kurdish-led alliance this week launched a new offensive against holdouts from the Islamic State group in eastern Syria, an official said Tuesday. Kurdish members of the Syrian Democratic Forces -- made up of Kurds, Syrian Arabs and other groups -- had quit the Middle Euphrates River Valley in February after Turkey sent troops into Syria and launched an operation against the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia in its Afrin enclave. "This week, following an increase in coalition strikes against the final ISIS controlled areas in Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces resumed offensive operations to clear the final ISIS held territory in eastern Syria," British Army Major General Felix Gedney, a deputy commander of the US-led coalition fighting IS, told Pentagon reporters.

| North Korea proposes new air route through peninsula Posted: 08 May 2018 03:40 AM PDT  South Korea said on Tuesday that North Korea had proposed a new air route through the two countries, as relations between the neighbors thaw after a breakthrough meeting of their leaders last month. At the historic summit, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed to end military hostilities against the South in every area, including airspace, and revitalize exchanges with South Korea, which is technically at war with Pyongyang. United Nations aviation agency directors will visit North Korea this week to discuss an earlier request by Pyongyang to open new air routes to South Korea, the organization said on Friday. Japanese broadcaster NHK said two agency officials arrived at the Beijing airport on Monday en route to Pyongyang, with one of them saying they would discuss flight safety with North Korea. In October, the agency condemned North Korea over its continued launch of ballistic missiles that threaten the safety of international civil aviation. "We are aware that what North Korea has proposed is opening an international air route that will link Pyongyang's FIR and Incheon's FIR to a third country, not a direct flight route between Pyongyang and Incheon," South Korean foreign ministry spokesman Noh Kyu-duk told a regular briefing. Korean detente How did we get here? He was using abbreviations to refer to the flight information regions of each country. If established, the new route would be an air traffic highway for any flight passing through the two countries' airspace, a South Korean government official with direct knowledge of the matter said. South Korea is reviewing the North's request and nothing has been decided yet, the official added. Countries such as Britain, France, Germany and the United States have advised airlines not to fly in North Korean airspace because unannounced missile launches pose threats to commercial jets. The new proposals came as the United Nations food agency said its chief would visit North Korea on Tuesday to look into boosting food distributions. About 70 per cent of North Korea's population of 25 million is "food insecure", meaning they struggle to avoid hunger, and one in four children under five is stunted from chronic malnutrition, according to the WFP. A 2015 drought worsened the situation, it says. Korea kim jong-un meets moon jae-in puff The agency currently aims to assist 650,000 women and children there each month providing fortified cereals and biscuits. "Funding shortfalls have meant that rations have had to be reduced and suspended in some cases," WFP said in a statement coinciding with the start of the May 8-11 visit by WFP executive director David Beasley. It gave no details, but figures on the WFP website show that its $52 million appeal for 2018 is only 19.2 per cent funded. Switzerland, Sweden and France are among the leading donors. "WFP has been working in DPR Korea for more than two decades, helping to strengthen food security in the country and provide nutritious food to women and children," Beasley said. "This week, I will visit schools and nurseries to meet some of the mothers and young children WFP is supporting, as well as to understand the needs of the operation, which at this point is under-funded." WFP and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) are among only a few aid agencies with access to North Korea, which suffered famine in the mid-1990s that killed up to three million people. UNICEF said in January that an estimated 60,000 North Korean children face potential starvation. It blamed international sanctions targeting the country's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes for exacerbating the situation by slowing aid deliveries and making fuel scarcer and more expensive.

| How Russia played silent kingmaker in Armenia's revolution Posted: 08 May 2018 12:23 PM PDT  By Margarita Antidze YEREVAN, (Reuters) - In the days before protesters overthrew Armenia's veteran leader, Russian officials had high-level phone contacts with the protest leaders and the ruling elite that was clinging to power, according to three people briefed on the discussions. Weeks of protests against corruption and cronyism culminated on Tuesday in Nikol Pashinyan, the protest leader, becoming prime minister, in a dramatic rupture with the cadre of officials who have run this ex-Soviet state since the late 1990s. Breaking the mould of previous ex-Soviet popular revolts, especially a bloody uprising in Ukraine in 2014, Moscow did not back the ruling elite or their right to use force to crush the protest movement.

| Mormons to cut nearly century-old tie with Boy Scouts, a week after decision to drop 'boy' from name Posted: 09 May 2018 05:56 AM PDT  The Mormon church will cut all ties with Boy Scouts, a week after movement announced its decision to drop 'boy' from its name. A statement issued by the church said it had opted for the split so it could create its own youth programme, although the two organisations' values had clearly diverged over recent years. The announcement was not a complete surprise after the religion last year removed 185,000 boys between the ages of 14 and 18 from the Scouts, signalling an end to a nearly century-old relationship based on shared values.
