Colombia’s largest rebel group, the FARC, warned Monday that a suspended peace process between the group and the government could result in reignited violence if a solution isn’t negotiated soon.

The FARC began its demobilization and disarmament process in late September after signing peace with the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos, but was stopped in its tracks by an October 2 referendum that rejected the deal with a razor-sharp margin.

Since then, Santos and the opposition forces that promoted the rejection have been negotiating changes to the deal that would allow it to be passed through congress without too much public resistance.

Meanwhile, the FARC leadership ordered its 6,600 guerrillas to assume defensive positions in order to prevent provocations by rival armed groups.

FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño, a.k.a. “Timochenko,” said last week the guerrillas were willing to “enrich” the deal, but rejected a substantial renegotiation on the deal to end 52 years of armed conflict.

But, in an interview with US television news network Univision, the guerrillas’ chief negotiator “Ivan Marquez” said “renegotiating the accord is complex but we can analyze it.”

Marquez warned, however, that “we can not allow that this is dilated because we run the risk the peace process ends badly.”

According to the guerrilla negotiator, the FARC’s peace process “is in limbo … and if this process dies on us, this limbo can convert into hell,” referring to past failed processes that led to some of the conflict’s bloodiest episodes.

“That’s why we need to save this peace process,” said Marquez who has been negotiating peace for more than five years.

The guerrilla negotiator praised the president for reinstating a bilateral ceasefire that formally ended the moment peace was signed, “which to us indicates that the deal is fully valid.”

If the government is able to rally the opposition behind the peace deal through compromises, these compromises will then be presented to the FARC, which would then have to agree on which points are up for negotiation and which points are not.

The opposition is led by former President Alvaro Uribe, who has rejected the peace talks since they became public in 2012 and whose referendum campaign is in legal trouble for intentionally disinforming the public to win the vote.

IRISH WOMEN 'ACCESS ABORTION PILLS ONLINE'

IRISH WOMEN 'ACCESS ABORTION PILLS ONLINE'

Women aged 25 to 35 are the most likely group in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland to access medication online to end a pregnancy, a study suggests.

Data provided by Women on the Web, which offers abortion pills online, showed 5,650 women from both countries accessed the service from 2010 to 2015.

Most already have at least one child and a majority said taking the pills had been the right choice for them.

Laws in both countries ban or restrict access to abortion.

Abortion is legal in both countries if the mother's life it at risk. In Northern Ireland, it may also be permitted to preserve her physical or mental health.

Accessing pills which will terminate a pregnancy, or helping others to do so, can lead to a criminal prosecution in Northern Ireland, with the maximum sentence being life imprisonment.

Protesters are calling for a referendum to repeal the laws in the Republic. Later this month, Prime Minister Enda Kenny will hold a citizens' assembly to discuss whether a vote should take place to change abortion laws.

"Northern Irish women have described in their own words the benefits of access to safe early medical abortion for their health, wellbeing, and autonomy. The current abortion law, which dates back to 1861, harms women by creating a climate of stigma, shame, and isolation."

However, Bernadette Smyth, of the pro-life group Precious Life, said: "Abortion is a criminal offence in Ireland and if women are accessing these dangerous pills online and have an adverse reaction that could endanger their life, who will take responsibility?

"To ensure the safety of women and babies these illegal online sites must be closed down.

"I want women with crisis pregnancies to be fully informed of the dangers of these pills and, more importantly, I want to provide help and support, because abortion is not the answer."

Hurricane Nicole heads for BermudaS

Bermuda is bracing itself for a direct hit from Hurricane Nicole. The storm has intensified dramatically and is set to bring 100-200mm of rain and a huge storm surge to the island. Tomasz Schafernaker looks at its expected path.

Hurricanes are large, swirling storms. They produce winds of 119 kilometers per hour (74 mph) or higher. That's faster than a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. Winds from a hurricane can damage buildings and trees.

Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters. Sometimes they strike land. When a hurricane reaches land, it pushes a wall of ocean water ashore. This wall of water is called a storm surge. Heavy rain and storm surge from a hurricane can cause flooding.

Once a hurricane forms, weather forecasters predict its path. They also predict how strong it will get. This information helps people get ready for the storm.

There are five types, or categories, of hurricanes. The scale of categories is called the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The categories are based on wind speed.
How Does a Storm Become a Hurricane?
A hurricane starts out as a tropical disturbance. This is an area over warm ocean waters where rain clouds are building.

A tropical disturbance sometimes grows into a tropical depression. This is an area of rotating thunderstorms with winds of 62 km/hr (38 mph) or less
How Are Hurricanes Named?
There can be more than one hurricane at a time. This is one reason hurricanes are named. Names make it easier to keep track of and talk about storms.

A storm is given a name if it becomes a tropical storm. That name stays with the storm if it goes on to become a hurricane. (Tropical disturbances and depressions don't have names.)

Messi back with a bang as Barcelona shows it's ready for City and Pep
The Argentine attacker came off the bench to score a fine goal as the Catalans warmed up in style for the Champions League clash Wednesday.Lightning doesn't strike thrice. After throwing away a two-goal lead in each of its past two league games against Deportivo La Coruna, Barcelona went on to score all four itself this time. And Lionel Messi was back with bang. WATCH: Messi scores immediately upon return from injury The Argentine attacker, out with an adductor strain since Sept. 21, came on in the 55th minute and wasted little time as he rifled a fine finish into the net following a Neymar pass shortly afterward. Over in Manchester, Pep Guardiola was otherwise occupied. The Catalan coach was busy watching his side in a 1-1 draw at home against Everton. It was City's third successive match without a win, although two penalty misses told a story. In the end, Nolito scored to earn a point for the Premier League leaders. But Barca in this form will be a different proposition altogether

Chibok schoolgirls reunited with families .
The group claims that it has 83 more girls to release on negotiation," he said, without elaborating.

Despite winning back swathes of territory from the jihadists, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has faced intense criticism for failing to recover the young captives, who became the defining symbol of Boko Haram's brutal campaign to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in the country.

The insurgency has claimed more than 20,000 lives and displaced 2.6 million people since Boko Haram took up arms against the Nigerian government in 2009.

Abuja (AFP) - Twenty-one of the over 200 missing Chibok schoolgirls freed after being held by Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists for more than two years on Sunday spoke of their ordeal as they were reunited with their families.

During a Christian ceremony held for them in the capital Abuja, a schoolgirl named Gloria Dame said they had survived for 40 days without food and narrowly escaped death at least once.

"I was... (in) the woods when the plane dropped a bomb near me but I wasn't hurt," Dame told the congregation.

"We had no food for one month and 10 days but we did not die. We thank God," she said, speaking in the local Hausa language.

The ceremony was organised by Nigeria's security services which negotiated their release. Most of the kidnapped students were Christian but had been forcibly converted to Islam during captivity.

The Chibok girls were abducted in April 2014, drawing global attention to the Boko Haram insurgency engulfing the area when US First Lady Michelle Obama joined the #BringBackOurGirls online movement.

Of the 276 girls initially seized, scores escaped in the hours after the kidnapping, while another 19-year-old was found with her four-month-old baby earlier this year.

The ceremony was interrupted when the girls' relatives arrived and were reunited with them. Tears flowed as they hugged their children.

"We can all see the joy and emotions of the parents," Information Minister Lai Mohamed said.

He said talks with the Islamists would continue "until all the girls have been released".

"Very soon, another batch, bigger than this would be released," Mohammed said.

Garba Shehu, a spokesman for the Nigerian presidency, told AFP that "the Mamman Nur faction of the Boko Haram has indicated its willingness to negotiate the release of more Chibok girls in their custody.

COLOMBIA’S OBSTACLES FOR PEACE: RETURNING THE 15% OF NATIONAL TERRITORY THAT WAS STOLEN IN THE WAR

COLOMBIA’S OBSTACLES FOR PEACE: RETURNING THE 15% OF NATIONAL TERRITORY THAT WAS STOLEN IN THE WAR

Colombia’s peace process with FARC rebels is partly stuck because approximately 15% of the country’s national territory was stolen during the armed conflict and many owners don’t want to give it back.

Since Colombia’s war began escalating in 1985, approximately 8 million hectares, an area the size of Costa Rica, have been stolen and sold, leaving millions of small farmers displaced and without land to return to.

The phenomenon has been so enormous, it has become one of the significant reasons why more than half of the country’s national territory is private property of, according to the UN, only 1% of the population.

Colombians forcibly displaced because of conflict per year FARC only 6.25% of the problem

To give you a sense of proportion, 500 thousand of these 8 million hectares are in the hands of Marxist rebel group FARC, according to President Juan Manuel Santos. This means the guerrillas would only own 6.25% of Colombia’s stolen land.

The remaining 93.75% is owned by individuals, corporations and presumed front-men of former paramilitary commanders who carried out an anti-guerrilla offensive between 1997 and 2002 that severely reduced national territory under guerrilla control.

The political involvement with paramilitary death squads was so intimate that since the group’s demobilization between 2003 and 2006, dozens of Congressmen off all benches have been imprisoned for using the war against the FARC as a pretext to seek personal gain in collusion with paramilitary groups, a phenomenon called “parapolitics.

How many individuals and companies benefited from the paramilitaries’ land flipping and how many are still involved in illegal activity with armed groups is unknown, the sunk transitional justice system was supposed to investigate this.

MPs will be asked to ratify the final nature of any exit agreement with the EU, but only once it is too late to stop Britain from leaving

MPs will be given a chance to derail the exit deal from the European Union, the government said yesterday, but only after it is too late to stop Britain from leaving altogether.

Senior sources confirmed that MPs would be asked to ratify any agreement between Britain and the other 27 member states at the end of the Brexit negotiations.

They will not have the power to amend the deal, however, and if parliament chose to veto the plan, Britain would still leave the EU — but without any new trading or co-operation arrangements in place.

Nicky Morgan, the former Conservative cabinet minister who supported Remain, said that MPs expected to have an input at the start of Brexit negotiationsANDY RAIN/EPA

The Labour Party said that the proposal left MPs between a “rock and a hard place” and repeated its call for parliament to be “given a say” at a far earlier stage.

The government’s position emerged in a High Court case over whether ministers needed parliamentary approval before triggering Article 50, which will begin the process of leaving the EU.

On the back of the news, the pound rose 1 per cent against the dollar, its best performance since fears of a “hard Brexit” hit the currency market two weeks ago.

MPs on both sides of the debate agreed that the significance of the development was less about the terms of any future deal and more about whether a deal will be approved in the first place.

The basis of the parliamentary vote is the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010. Under this law, the government must give parliament the opportunity to consider treaties that are subject to ratification. The House of Commons could block a treaty indefinitely by voting against it repeatedly; it cannot amend a treaty. The House of Lords cannot, on its own, delay or block a treaty. Any vote would be unlikely to take place before 2019, given the maximum two years for completing the Article 50 process.

(IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – Iraqi media outlets reported on Tuesday, that a large ISIS convoy was destroyed by an aerial bombing on the Iraqi-Syrian borders, and indicated that the convoy was carrying Arab and foreign members who were trying to escape from Mosul to the Syrian city of Raqqa.

Al Sumaria News stated, “This evening, warplanes bombed a large convoy of 30 vehicles carrying Arab and foreign members of ISIS and their families, destructing the convoy and killing most of its occupants,” adding that, “The ISIS members and their families were trying to flee towards the Iraqi-Syrian borders.”

“The morale of ISIS militants was highly affected by the liberation battles in Nineveh,” Al Sumaria explained. “ISIS gave orders to its foreign members to leave from Nineveh to the Syrian city of Raqqa,” Al Sumaria added.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, coalition forces conducted four strikes near Mosul which engaged three ISIS tactical units and two staging areas; destroyed 10 mortar systems, five artillery systems, four ISIS-held buildings, four fighting positions, four vehicles, two supply caches, two repeater tower generators, a VBIED facility, and a VBIED; and suppressed four tactical units and three rocket positions.

This article shows us the reality of many people who must deal with a disease, while they try to lead a normal life in society.

Jamie Knight is 27, and is a young man diagnosed with autism. He describes his situation as:

"I'm autistic, which is a posh way of saying I have a different way of thinking and perceiving the world. For me the typical environment is pretty chaotic. A sudden loud announcement in a supermarket is pretty similar in effect to a flash-bang grenade used to confuse people during wars".

Carrying an object around brings some structure and consistency to his environment. The toy lion has a familiar texture and smell which helps in those moments when he feels "overloaded".

Using a soft toy as a proxy can be a way to navigate the sometimes-alien world, but like their owners the toys' personalities may develop or alter.

In the newspaper, the guardian, we can find the opinion column written by Jonathan Powell, published last October 6. Where he talks about the Colombian peace process.

He explains that: “A referendum was not legally necessary for the approval of the agreement, and indeed its result is not legally binding on the government. But I had always been in favour of a plebiscite to demonstrate public support, because only in that way would it be possible to change the constitution rapidly to ensure the agreement was actually implemented. And I still don’t regret arguing for a referendum – I think the people should have the say in the ratification of a peace agreement such as this”.

And adds: “Wrestling out the necessary amendments to the agreement to widen its support will not be easy. But it does not have to be a drama as long as no one does anything likely to restart the war. That, I hope, is behind us forever”.
