Israel will not accept any Syrian refugees on its territory: defense minister

Image
By Ori Lewis JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel will not allow any Syrian refugees to enter its territory but will continue to provide them with humanitarian aid, Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Friday. More than 120,000 people in southwestern Syria have been forced to flee since the Syrian government launched an offensive to recover an area bordering Jordan and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from rebels, a monitoring group said. The Israeli military said an increased number of Syrian civilians had been spotted in refugee camps on the Syrian side of the Golan over the past few days, and that it had overnight sent aid supplies at four locations "to Syrians fleeing hostilities". from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2MwB9As

Italy blocks EU summit agreement until migration demands met

Image
By Francesco Guarascio and Gabriela Baczynska BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Italy's prime minister refused to approve an EU summit statement on Thursday, telling fellow leaders that they must first meet his demands on migration, in an unusual showdown that underscored deep divisions over the sensitive issue. The move by Giuseppe Conte, who is attending his first European Union summit, surprised other leaders and forced summit chairman Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to cancel a news conference planned for Thursday evening. "As one member reserved their position on the entire conclusions, no conclusions have been agreed at this stage," a spokesman for Tusk said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2KuWOvq

Ash from Bali volcano shuts airport; passengers stranded, villagers flee

Image
By Sultan Ashori DENPASAR, Indonesia (Reuters) - Ash from a volcanic eruption on the Indonesian resort island of Bali forced the closure of its international airport and cancellation of hundreds of flights on Friday, while villagers living beneath rumbling Mount Agung began fleeing their homes. The eruption, which began on Thursday, fired a towering column of ash 2,500 meters (8,200 ft) into the sky, and reddish flames lit up the volcano's crater overnight. Indonesia's second-busiest airport will stay shut until at least 7 pm local time (1100 GMT) on Friday, with 85 international flights and 191 domestic flights canceled, affecting nearly 16,000 people, airport authorities said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2KsADmr

Before the renovation, we pretty much only used it to cook marinated chicken breasts, burgers, corn or the occasional pile of peppers.
