German swimming pool closed to male refugees after assaults on women: Zio-Watch, January 15, 2016

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The U.S. Navy reversed its decision to deny security clearance to a dentist because of his family in Israel.

The Navy informed Gershon Pincus of its reversal on Jan. 7, the Albany Times Union reported Thursday.

Pincus, 62, told the newspaper he was “overjoyed.” He commutes 400 miles one day a week from his New York City home to Saratoga Springs, New York, where he treats sailors serving at the nearby U.S. nuclear submarine propulsion program.

Pincus had initially been denied clearance because of his weekly phone contact with his mother and brother in Israel.

Legislation to ban child marriages was struck down in Pakistan as the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) said it was “anti-Islamic” and “blasphemous.” The new law failed at the first stage of the legislative process.

The Child Marriage Restraint (Amendment) Bill 2014, which would have made it more difficult for children to marry, was quickly withdrawn on Thursday by Marvi Menon of the Pakistan Muslim League party.

The decision to pull the plug on the anti-pedophilia bill was triggered by CII speaking out against the idea. The council provides advice for lawmakers on whether the newly proposed laws comply with Sharia laws.

The proposed legislation was shut down in its infancy on “purely religious grounds,” The Express Tribune reported.

CII Chairman Mohammad Khan Sheerani said the proposed law contradicted Islamic teachings.

One of the leaders of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has called for the “recapture” of the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla, located on the border with Morocco.

In a 20-minute long video, Abu Obeida Yusuf Annabi, an Algerian national, called for the taking of both cities, Europa Press news agency reported. He has also reportedly addressed Libyans, calling on them to “reject the establishment of pseudo-democracy and not to connect terrorism to the activity of Islamic groups.”

Francisco Martinez, Spain’s security minister, said the video was “known, analyzed and investigated,” speaking to reporters Friday. Martinez also said that Spain would not raise its level of alert from 4 to the maximum of 5 because of this latest Al-Qaeda scare.

However, meetings of the terrorist threat evaluation committee will take place “at least once a week.”

The poll, commissioned by the Icelandic Ethical Humanist Association, an association of atheists, documented that a record low number of Icelanders – 4.4 percent – say they are religious.

In general, 61.1 percent of Icelanders believe in God, but the share of non-believers rises dramatically in younger age groups.

The generation gap was particularly noticeable when respondents were asked about their views on the creation of the world. In all age categories except the oldest, the majority believe the world originated as a result of the ‘Big Bang.’ Among Icelanders aged between 25 and 44 years, 77.7% support this theory, while in the category of 25 and under an overwhelming 93.9% back the scientific version, and 0.0% think it was God who created the Earth.

The Russian military is maintaining logistics support for a humanitarian operation in Syria aimed to provide the civilian population with basic needs. International humanitarian missions have so far been providing aid to regions which remain under terrorist control.

Although a number of non-governmental organizations have been providing humanitarian aid on Syrian territory, most of the supplies sent have ended up on territories controlled by terrorists.

“The extremists used most of that aid for the supply of [terrorist] gangs,” Lieutenant General Sergey Rudskoy, chief of the main operations department of the Russian General Staff, said during a press briefing in Moscow.

“On top of that, multiple attempts have been registered to deliver arms and munitions, and to evacuate wounded militants under the guise of humanitarian convoys,” Rudskoy stressed. According to the general, these issues with the foreign aid sent so far have led to Russia taking the decision to launch a humanitarian operation of its own in Syria.

A Syrian Ilyushin Il-76 jumbo jet has already delivered the first batch of humanitarian aid to the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor, Rudskoy said. At present, most of the aid is being channeled to Deir ez-Zor, which was under siege by terrorists for a long period of time, Rudskoy said. The first 22 tons of humanitarian aid have been airdropped from a Syrian Il-76 using Russian parachute platform airdrop systems. Supplies are set to continue, Rudskoy said, stressing that Russia will provide the Syrian people with all possible help to liberate the country from extremists and return peace to the nation.

© Sergei Karpukhin Scientists in the far north of Russia have found evidence that humans were active in the Arctic about 45,000 years ago. Marks on mammoth bones found in the region showed that hunters stabbed and butchered the animals.

The researchers, from the Russian Academy of Sciences, made the find in Siberia near the Kara Sea, which was the northern-most point of human activity in Eurasia 40,000 years ago. However, with the evidence they were able to uncover, it is now believed that human activity extends the record of human presence in the Arctic by another 5,000 years.

The tip of a mammoth tusk was also damaged, which showed that humans in the area could have used them as ivory tools, the research team stated in a paper released in the journal Science.

Daniel Fisher, a mammoth expert at the University of Michigan, who did not take part in the Russian-led study, said that the evidence of the markings on the bones did provide strong indications that there was human activity in the area.

However, Robert Park, an archaeologist at the University of Waterloo in Canada, was skeptical of the find, saying that the evidence of human hunting was “pretty marginal.”
