Turkey has warned that it would stop implementing a historic deal with the European Union on curbing the flow of refugees to Europe if the EU fails to fulfill its promises.

“There are precise conditions. If the European Union does not take the necessary steps, then Turkey will not implement the agreement,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech on Thursday.

He added that everything that has been promised in the March 18 deal between Ankara and the EU must be put into action by the European side.

Under the agreement, Turkey has accepted a series of measures aimed at curbing the inflow of refugees from the country to Greece in return for some benefits, including billions of dollars in aid, visa-free travel for Turks to Europe and, more significant than all, acceleration in the EU’s processing of Turkey’s long-awaited bid for membership in the continental body.

Erdogan’s warning may indicate that Ankara would not sit idle if EU fell short of its pledge to grant visa-free travel to Turkish citizens, which the deal promises “at the latest” by June 2016.

The Turkish president, however, elaborated on EU’s delay in fulfilling its pledges, saying Turkey continues to spend billions of dollars on accommodation of refugees escaping the war in Syria as the EU has provided no funds in this regard.

A male politician in Norway has opened up about his rape by a Somali man, stating that he felt “guilt and responsibility” for the perpetrator being deported after time in prison. Turning to alcohol and marijuana, the lawmaker “became numb” for years.

Karsten Nordal Hauken, a leftist politician, shared his story in a letter to Swedish broadcaster NRK, as part of a documentary series titled ‘I Against Me.’

Hauken speaks of being brutally raped by a Somali man, and recalls riding in an ambulance to a rape reception center at an Oslo hospital. He mentions having samples taken from nurses, speaking to a psychologist, and eventually being collected by his father.

He goes on to speak about the investigation to identify the perpetrator.

Washington is behind the recently released offshore revelations known as the Panama Papers, WikiLeaks has claimed, saying that the attack was “produced” to target Russia and President Putin.

Organizations belonging to Soros have been proclaimed to be “undesirable” in Russia. Last year, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office recognized Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation as undesirable groups, banning Russian citizens and organizations from participation in any of their projects.

Prosecutors then said the activities of the institute and its assistance foundation were a threat to the basis of Russia’s constitutional order and national security. Earlier this year, the billionaire US investor alleged that Putin is “no ally” to US and EU leaders, and that he aims “to gain considerable economic benefits from dividing Europe.”

“The American government is pursuing a policy of destabilization all over the world, and this [leak] also serves this purpose of destabilization. They are causing a lot of people all over the world and also a lot of money to find its way into the [new] tax havens in America. The US is preparing for a super big financial crisis, and they want all that money in their own vaults and not in the vaults of other countries,” German journalist and author Ernst Wolff told RT.

No matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to cover up the role and importance of Russia’s actions to combat terrorism in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin told “Truth and Justice,” a media forum of regional and local media in St. Petersburg.

“No matter how much one tries to belittle the role, the importance of our actions to combat terrorism, to silence these events is simply not possible,” Putin said on Thursday, adding that the desire to hush up Russian successes is “still there,” RIA Novosti quoted the Russian president as saying.

It’s too early to talk about radical change in Syria, but one thing is certain – Russia helped strengthen the state system in the country, Putin said.

The Russian part of the so-called Panama Papers leak that claims to reveal offshore financial activities of a number of public figures is not about corruption, but aims to destabilize Russia, says President Vladimir Putin.

“So here we’ve got some friend of the Russian president, he has done something, probably there is an aspect of corruption to it… But what aspect [exactly]? Well, there is none,” Putin said on Thursday, addressing a media forum in St. Petersburg. He also pointed out that he himself had not been mentioned in the leaked documents.

“You are all journalists here and you know what an informational product is… They’ve plowed through offshore [funds]. [Putin] is not there, there is nothing to talk about. But the task has been assigned! So what have they done? They’ve created an informational product by having found some acquaintances and friends,” the president told the media forum.

Despite lacking the economic and military resources available to the US, Vladimir Putin has become a Middle East dealmaker and has returned Russia to the top geopolitical table through the Syrian campaign, according to an article published in the Financial Times.

In his article published in FT on Wednesday, Eugene Rumer, the director of Carnegie’s Russia and Eurasia Program, claims that the notion that Russia is “withdrawn from the international arena” is proving to be wrong.

Russia’s ruling elite is no longer pursuing economic stability as the sole means of political survival, Rumer acknowledged.

“Syria shows that Russia, written off in the 1990s as a mere regional power, has a capable military and, given the opportunity, the will to use it,” Rumer said, recalling others’ statements about Russia being “a hollow superpower” with “no real strategy behind its overseas adventures.”

Former US intelligence officer Rumer says that with Russia’s “shrinking economy” and a defense budget that is “a fraction” of that of the US, the Russian leader “has done rather well.”

(JTA) — Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will meet French President Francois Hollande in Paris later this month to discuss France’s recent push to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.

Abbas will have an “important meeting” with Hollande to talk about “convening an international peace conference in accordance with the French initiative,” Palestinian Authority presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Abu Rudeineh told the French news agency AFP on Wednesday.

The Palestinian leader will also meet with President Vladimir Putin of Russia in Moscow during a trip beginning on April 15 to discuss the “evolution of the political situation in Palestine and the region,” Abu Rudeineh said. Abbas will then meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany in Berlin before heading to New York to attend United Nations meetings.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault angered Israel in January for threatening to recognize a Palestinian state if a Paris-hosted conference failed to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Ayrault backtracked on his statements last month, saying the conference would not “automatically” spur any action.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Bernie Sanders campaign pushed back against criticism by Israel supporters that the presidential candidate wildly overstated the number of Palestinian civilians killed in the 2014 Gaza war.

“The idea that Sen. Sanders stated definitely that 10,000 Palestinians were killed is just not accurate and a distortion of that discussion,” campaign spokesman Michael Briggs said Thursday in a statement.

Sanders, an Independent senator from Vermont vying for the Democratic nod, suggested the estimate in an interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News published Monday. He was explaining why he did not support bringing Israelis to the International Criminal Court for their actions during the summer 2014 war against Hamas, although he decried its carnage.

(JTA) — Pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupted Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat while he was speaking at San Francisco State University.

Five minutes into Barkat’s speech on Wednesday, more than a dozen protesters reportedly affiliated with the campus group Students for Justice in Palestine shouted into megaphones such chants as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “intifada,” or uprising, according to reports. The demonstrators, who wore traditional Arab headdresses and waved Palestinian flags, also demanded that Barkat be removed from the university.

Campus police and security called to the lecture hall reportedly protected the mayor but did not stop the protesters.

Israel begins construction work on Apartheid Wall

The Israeli regime has resumed construction work on a new section of its Apartheid Wall separating parts of the West Bank from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory.

Witnesses and local residents said on Thursday that cranes began lifting eight-meter (yard)-high blocks into place near Beit Jala, south of al-Quds (Jerusalem) and close to Bethlehem.

The mayor of Beit Jala, Nicola Khamis, described the move as another act of stealing land by Israeli authorities across the occupied territories, saying, “This land is for our families, our children.”

She also stressed that the ongoing Israeli occupation policies have made life impossible for all Palestinians, including Christians.

“Without this land all the Christians will leave this country,” Khamis said, noting, “It is impossible to build in Beit Jala. We want to widen Beit Jala.”

Meanwhile, Xavier Abu Eid, a spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said Thursday that the regime’s recent move shows its racist and apartheid policies against Palestinians.

As the current rhetoric between the Kremlin and the White House appears to be riddled with contradictions, US congressman and former Reagan speechwriter Dana Rohrabacher spoke with RT about the past, present, and future of US-Russia relations.

“The relations between our countries in the last 3 years have gone from dismal to worse. It’s become hurtful for both our nations,” says Rohrabacher, adding that the communications on both sides has always been disappointingly lacking in mutual trust and cooperation.

“Instead of an understanding that Russia is no longer the Cold War threat and thus they should be our friends, our government has only become closer because they feel they have to. Unfortunately, [it’s] not going further,” he told RT’s Oksana Boyko, the host of Worlds Apart.

The congressman claims that despite seeming attempts to foster friendship, such as Secretary of State Kerry’s three visits to Moscow in just the last 10 months, the US interacts with Russia more out of a sense of necessity than desire, and that is why the level of cooperation is dismal.

A demonstration against police brutality in Montreal, Canada, led to cars being set alight in the streets and a police station being attacked. The protest was sparked by the death of a black man who was killed by a police rubber bullet last month.

The Wednesday demonstration was initially organized as a peaceful protest in response to the death of Jean-Pierre Bony, 46, who was shot by a police rubber bullet during a drug raid in March. He later died of his injuries.

Although the protest began quietly with around 200 people marching on the streets, it turned violent just an hour later, at around 9pm local time.

The number of adults estimated to be living with diabetes has nearly quadrupled over the past 35 years, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The UN health agency has urged healthier diets and increased levels of physical activity.

In its first ever global report on the disease, the WHO said on Wednesday that the number of adults with the disease had increased to 422 million (8.5 percent of the world’s adults) by 2014, compared to 108 million (4.7 percent) in 1980.

Diabetes “is one of the leading killers in the world today,” said Etienne Krug, who is heading the WHO’s response to the disease.

The disease directly killed 1.5 million people in 2012, and elevated blood glucose levels linked to diabetes led to an additional 2.2 million deaths that year.
