Lavrov and Kerry to meet in Zurich for Syria talks

Posted:

MOSCOW (AFP) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet in Zurich on Tuesday next week for talks on Syria and Ukraine. During a telephone call, Lavrov and Kerry agreed to hold a personal meeting on January 20 in Zurich, the Russian foreign ministry said Thursday.The foreign affairs chiefs in their conversation continued examining ways to resolve the Syrian crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, the ministry said.It said Kerry and Lavrov were talking on the instructions of the Russian and US presidents after Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama spoke by telephone on Wednesday about the crises in Syria and Ukraine.In Washington, Kerrys spokesman John Kirby confirmed the meeting, and said the US side had raised concerns about Russias tactics in the conflict in Syria.The secretary again expressed his concern, deep concern, over attacks on civilians by Russian and regime military forces, he said.Kerry called on Russia to pressure its Syrian allies into allowing humanitarian aid to the Syrian people, particularly in besieged and hard-to-reach places.In their call, Putin and Obama discussed the effort to bring about a political transition inside of Syria, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.The United Nations envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said Wednesday that the permanent Security Council members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- had pledged to take immediate action to push for deliveries of aid to besieged areas of Syria.In December, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing a peace process to end the nearly five-year war in Syria, without touching on the contentious issue of the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

14 dead in Japan ski bus accident

Posted:

TOKYO (AFP) - Fourteen people were killed and dozens injured when a bus taking them to a ski resort ran off a mountain road in central Japan early Friday, the government said.The fully loaded bus with 41 people on board was driving from Tokyo to a ski resort in Nagano prefecture when it veered off the road in the resort town of Karuizawa in southern Nagano, according to the government.Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference in Tokyo that 14 people were killed and 27 others were injured in the single vehicle crash.Suga, the top government spokesman, said the transport ministry had launched an investigation into the accident, sending inspectors to the site.Television footage showed the bus overturned in woods with its front window completely shattered after it broke through a crash barrier.The bus was descending from a pass before dawn, a local police spokesman told AFP, while local media said it was carrying passengers on a tour package sold by a Tokyo travel agency.Japan in recent years has seen several high-profile bus accidents, some blamed on drivers falling asleep at the wheel.

German town sends refugee bus to Merkel's office

Posted:

BERLIN (AFP) - A German small town Thursday sent a bus with 31 Syrian refugees on a road trip to Chancellor Angela Merkels office in protest against her liberal migrant policy.The Bavarian district chief behind the journey to Berlin, Peter Dreier, said his rural area was buckling under the strain of a mass influx that brought 1.1 million migrants to Germany last year.Local citizens had told him its time we set a limit, he said. We are trying to help these people integrate. But that wont work if this year we face another wave of one million, or even more.Calling the trip an act of desperation, he said he had warned Merkel about his plans in a phone call last October, and had announced it to her office on Wednesday.Pro-refugee activists condemned the trip as a publicity stunt that exploited the refugees.The coach, carrying Syrian men with asylum status, left the southern town of Landshut in the morning and arrived at around 1700 GMT outside the chancellery, to be greeted by a large throng of media but no representatives of Merkels government.Merkels spokesman Steffen Seibert in a statement said that housing refugees was the task of state and local governments, who received federal support for this.The city state of Berlin had promised to help out and put up the 31 for the first night, Seibert said.Dreier, who had travelled to Berlin separately by car, said he was disappointed by Merkels refusal to engage, calling it an attempt to ignore and negate the problem.While media and police stood around the bus, Berlin city officials inside were seen negotiating with the Bavarians, as Syrians looked on with worried faces, glancing nervously at the TV cameras outside.After two hours, Dreier said he had agreed to personally pay for the refugees first night in a Berlin hotel, stressing that the bus had also been laid on by a private person, not with taxpayers money.He said some of the refugees wanted to later take a look at available Berlin accommodation, others had asked to travel on to another city, Hamburg, and whoever wanted to could return to Landshut.Lets get some rest and see tomorrow, said Dreier, of the small party Free Voters, sporting a traditional Bavarian coat for his trip to the capital.The head of German refugee support group Pro Asyl, Guenther Burkhardt, criticised the refugee road trip, saying people are being exploited for the sake of media footage.This doesnt solve the problems... this is a stunt that misuses the plight of refugees to send the message We want to close the borders, he said.Merkel has been praised for opening Germanys doors to those fleeing war and misery, but has also weathered harsh criticism, especially from Bavaria state, the main gateway for arriving refugees and migrants.Dreier said there is no end in sight to the wave of refugees, and our countrys ability to house them in a dignified way is deteriorating rapidly. And I dont see new apartments being built for the immigrants.He said his district had 66 migrant facilities, and around 70 more refugees were coming every week.Although the 31 Syrians had official asylum status and were now free to look for a home anywhere in Germany, he said he had been keeping them in shelters so they would not end up homeless.

Tennis: Serena has questions to answer in Melbourne

Posted:

MELBOURNE (AFP) - Defending champion Serena Williams insists she is fighting fit in her bid for a seventh Australian Open crown despite an injury scare and lack of match practice.The world number one has barely played since the US Open in September, when Roberta Vinci shattered her dream of a calendar-year Grand Slam in a heart-breaking semi-final defeat.Williams attempted a comeback at this months Hopman Cup mixed-team tournament in Perth but retired with soreness in her left knee, sparking speculation that at 34, she could be past her peak.But the American 21-time Grand Slam champion, who also battled knee problems in the latter half of 2015, insists she is ready to go at the Melbourne Park tournament starting Monday.My body is feeling great now, she said this week.Obviously I had a hiccup but right now it is doing much better. Ive had a few days of training so its looking good.She added: I know what I need to do on and off the court to win big tournaments.Melbourne Park has been a happy hunting ground for Williams. She claimed her first Australian Open title way back in 2003, beating elder sister Venus in the final, and reached her sixth last year when she toppled arch-rival Maria Sharapova.Williams is not the only player struggling ahead of the opening Grand Slam of the season, with injuries taking their toll on many of the leading names.Despite the new season being barely underway, the womens top five have all had troubled lead-ups to their first major test of 2016.World number two Simona Halep (achilles), Garbine Muguruza (foot), Agnieszka Radwanska (leg) and Maria Sharapova (forearm) have all been battling niggling problems that forced them out of warm-up tournaments.The world numbers six and seven, Petra Kvitova and Angelique Kerber, joined them in the sick bay suffering gastrointestinal illness, leaving the Melbourne showpiece unpredictable.Like Williams, Sharapova, who won her only Australian Open title in 2008, will enter this years tournament with little match practice, although she called her decision not to play last weeks Brisbane International precautionary and declared on Tuesday she was now healthy.It follows her second half of 2015 being wrecked by injuries, first to her right leg which forced her to miss the US Open. She then retired from her comeback match at Septembers Wuhan Open with a left forearm injury.Romanian pocket-rocket Halep also withdrew from Brisbane but was playing this week in Sydney, and knows she has a huge task ahead to win her maiden Grand Slam, seeded to meet Williams in the final.I beat Serena once in my life, so its really important for me, said Halep, who has won just one of seven matches against the American and admitted her achilles injury was still there but now I dont feel pain any more.To meet Serena, it means that I have to do finals. So lets go there in Melbourne to see if I can be there, she added.The early-season injury list has opened the door for two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, now fully fit after two troubled seasons, who beat Germanys Kerber to claim the Brisbane crown.It was the resurgent Belarusians first piece of WTA silverware in two-and-a-half years and sent her soaring up the world rankings to 16, a timely confidence boost.In Brisbane, Azarenka dropped just 17 games in four matches and appears to be getting back to her best.Im definitely a lot more comfortable, a lot more calm, a lot more aware. Happy. Very happy, said the former world number one.American Sloane Stephens, who made the Australian Open semis in 2013, is also in good form, winning the lead-up ASB Classic in Auckland. But she too then succumbed to illness, withdrawing from the WTA event in Hobart this week.

Tennis: Bouchard to play Cibulkova in Hobart semis

Posted:

HOBART (AFP) - Canadian star Eugenie Bouchard took just 68 minutes to storm into the semi-finals of the rain-interrupted Hobart International on Thursday.The former world number five came on the court late in the evening after hours of rain delays to inflict a 6-3, 6-2 win over Italian second seed Camila Giorgi.Bouchard set up a semi-final Friday with world number 37 and third seed Dominika Cibulkova of the Slovak Republic.Im happy I was able to have a lot of energy considering how long we waited today, Bouchard said.She said staying mentally prepared for the match during the frustrating rain delays was one of the toughest challenges.I tried not to think too much about it (the match). I dont want to play the match five times over in my head before I actually step out onto the court.But its the same for both players so I cant really complain, that is the way tennis is. You cant compete against mother nature.Cibulkova overcame Dutch qualifier Kiki Bertens, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that spanned more than seven hours, including three lengthy rain interruptions.The conditions were really tough, the Slovak told reporters.I dont remember that I have such tough conditions and match and starting and stopping so many times and today was really a mental thing.I came back three times on the court and I won even stronger than I was before.Frances Alize Cornet strolled into the semis without playing a shot after her ninth seeded German opponent Mona Barthel withdrew before their match with a back injury.Barthel sustained the injury during her previous match against Japans Naomi Osaka.Cornet will play Swede Johanna Larsson, who overcame exhausted defending champion Heather Watson in the early hours of Friday.Watson won her held-over second round match 6-7 (3/7), 6-2, 7-6 (7/3) and saved three match points in the process against Romanian fourth seed Monica Niculescu.Then she came out near midnight on a cold night but could not sustain her form after winning the opening set to bow out 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 to Larsson in two hours 12 minutes.

Football: Real Madrid, Atletico hit by one year transfer bans

Posted:

MADRID (AFP) - Spanish giants Real Madrid suffered another institutional embarrassment on Thursday as they and rivals Atletico Madrid were banned by FIFA from buying players for one year over their dealing in under-age players.The ban will start from the July transfer window this year and finish with the January transfer market in 2017 meaning newly appointed Real coach Zinedine Zidane will be unable to strengthen his squad this summer.Atletico were also fined 900,000 Swiss francs (820,000 euros) and Real 360,000 (330,000 euros). However, both clubs are still allowed to sign players until the end of the month.The two clubs were found to have violated several provisions concerning the international transfer and first registration of minor players as well as other relevant provisions with regard to the registration and participation of certain players in competitions, said a FIFA statement.Both clubs announced their intention to appeal the ban.Real Madrid will appeal this decision by FIFA to all sports authorities, considering it absolutely inadmissable, read a statement on the Madrid website.We will appeal, we think we are right and I think this is unjust, said Atletico president Enrique Cerezo.European champions Barcelona have just completed a one year ban for similar reasons.Barca were initially banned in April 2014, but managed to delay the sanction taking effect until the transfer windows in January and the summer of 2015 by launching an ultimately unsuccessful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).By delaying the ban, Barca managed to sign the likes of Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic in the summer of 2014 to propel them to a treble of La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey, a route potentially open to both clubs depending on how quickly CAS can hear their appeals.Real and Atletico were issued with a reprimand and given 90 days in which to regularise the situation of all minor players concerned, FIFA said. They can still sell players during the transfer ban.FIFA said the alarm was raised over the two clubs by FIFAs Transfer Matching System and its disciplinary committee completed the inquiry.Under international football rules, players under 18 cannot be transferred to another country, except in limited circumstances. All transfers need the approval of a special FIFA committee.However, the Spanish league labelled the sanctions disproportionate and called for a change in the rules, claiming they dont have the desired effect of protecting the rights of minors.Madrid admitted in January that they had supplied FIFA with the details of 51 players as part of their investigation, which they claimed were exempt from the regulations for various reasons.The news is the latest off-field blow for Real having sacked two Champions League winning coaches in Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez in the past seven months, as well as being thrown out of the Copa del Rey for fielding an ineligible player.The signing of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was also frustrated at the last minute in August as the clubs failed to register the required paperwork in time.The sanction could also be bad news for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, who had targeted Madrid stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, with Real highly unlikely to dispose of their best players without the chance to sign suitable replacements.La Liga leaders Atletico Madrids usually hectic transfer policy will also be put on hold.However, Diego Simeones men look well-placed to cope with the ban having invested heavily in young talent over the past year.Not being able to sign is a problem because the seasons are very long and you always need players. Fortunately, we have a good and big squad with young players that can overcome these two windows without signings, added Cerezo.Indeed, Atletico have already made two additions to their squad in January in Argentine international midfielders Matias Kranevitter and Augusto Fernandez.

Golf: Walters seizes initiative at Joburg Open

Posted:

JOHANNESBURG (AFP) - Justin Walters birdied the last to take a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Joburg Open on Thursday.The 35-year-old South African shot a seven-under-par 65 on the East Course at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club after a round that featured six birdies, an eagle at the par-five sixth and a single bogey.His birdie at the long 18th had looked unlikely when he put his second shot in a bunker, but he got up and down from the sand to edge the lead.He took a one-stroke advantage from a group of six players on six under par comprised of English duo Antony Wall and David Howell, local lad Haydn Porteous, Swedish pair Johan Carlsson and Michael Jonzon and Zimbabwes Mark Williams.Porteous, Carlsson and Jonzon all went six-under 66 around the tougher East Course, while Howell, Wall and Williams carded 65s on the par-71 West layout.There is extra incentive for the field of 210 players with three places available at this years British Open at Troon to players who finish in the top 10 and are not already exempt.I have a lot of good memories here. And having qualified for the Open here two years ago, I really enjoy playing here, I enjoy playing in Joburg, and I just kind of feel at home somewhat, Walters, who will take to the West Course on Friday, told www.europeantour.com.Every time you come here, you build new memories and you have more to draw on when youre kind of in the same position.Historically this golf course is always quite tight. Both courses, if you play well offer a lot of birdies and generally, out of a 200-man field, youre going to 30 or 40 guys that are going to play a good round of golf.Its really hard to separate yourself on these two courses, so I expect more of the same over the week.Playing the Joburg Open for the first time, two-time former British Open champion Ernie Els shot a one-under-par 70 on the West Course.

Rallying: Al-Attiyah wins Dakar stage, heat halts bikes

Posted:

SAN JUAN (AFP) - Last years winner Nasser Al-Attiyah won Thursdays Dakar Rally 11th stage, held in searing heat which made the going extra tough for the motorbike competitors.Mini driver Al-Attiyah picked up his second stage victory of this years Dakar, completing the drive from La Rioja to San Juan almost six minutes clear of Sebastien Loeb.Nine-time world rally champion and Dakar debutant Loeb crossed the line in unorthodox fashion, his Peugeot being towed by teammate Cyril Despres after it had packed up a handful of kilometres from the finish.Mikko Hirvonen was third while French Dakar legend Stephane Peterhansel kept the wheels on his bid for a 12th title, finishing fourth behind the wheel of his Peugeot at 8min 05sec.The rallys all-time most successful competitor maintained his lead at the top of the overall standings, 51min55sec ahead of Al-Attiyah with South African Giniel De Villers 1hr 17min 24sec off the pace in third.Despite his commanding position with only two stages remaining Peterhansel was keeping his feet firmly on Argentinian soil.Its never done: if you have ten minutes, two minutes or one hour and you have a big technical problem then youre stopped and its finished for the overall victory, said the 50-year-old who opened his Dakar account on two wheels in 1988.He added: Its never over. Ive had some good experiences like that, but also some bad experiences.The bikes stage was stopped because of the heat at the 243km mark with Antoine Meo of France declared the winner.Australian Toby Price (KTM) came in second - he holds a 35min 23sec advantage in the overall standings from Slovakias Stefan Svitko.On the last probably fifty to eighty kilometres it was starting to heat up really bad again, he recounted.I cant smell victory yet, not yet. I wont smell victory until I cross the finishing line on the last day.

Navigational error to blame in Iran incident: Pentagon chief

Posted:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A navigational error caused two US Navy vessels to stray into Iranian waters, Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said Thursday, as opponents of the Obama administration voiced increasing anger over the US response to the incident.Carter provided no detail but said a navigational error of some kind led to the two small patrol boats ending up in Iranian water on Tuesday. The military had initially blamed mechanical problems.The vessels were apprehended by Irans Revolutionary Guards while en route from Kuwait to Bahrain. Ten sailors were held overnight before being released back to the United States.We will find out more what combination of factors led to that navigational error, but they were clearly out of the position that they intended to be in, Carter said.Critics of the administration of President Barack Obama are livid over the affair, saying it demonstrates weakness in the face of Iranian aggression.Video showing the US sailors kneeling and with their hands clasped behind their heads, and one of them apologizing, aired on US television Wednesday, further angering lawmakers.Carter, speaking at a news conference in Florida, deflected questions on whether Iran had breached the Geneva Convention by showing images of the captured sailors.Obviously I dont like to see our people detained by a foreign military, Carter said.What we dont know is the full context. What you are looking through is the lens of the Iranian media. We need to give these guys the opportunity to tell us what was really going on and what the overall context is before we can really know.Video also showed Iranian troops rummaging through an array of weapons found aboard the US boats.General Lloyd Austin, who oversees the US militarys Central Command, said the Iranians had largely returned the US equipment.For the most part, the gear we deployed with was largely there when we got the boats back, he said.Whether or not there was a singular piece of equipment missing, well determine that once we have completed the inventories, he added.

More IS attacks likely as group suffers setbacks: US general

Posted:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Islamic State extremists will likely increase the tempo of attacks around the world as they come under increased pressure in Iraq and Syria, a top US general warned Thursday.General Lloyd Austin, who currently heads the militarys Central Command (CENTCOM) overseeing Middle East operations, made the argument that recent IS-claimed attacks like the ones this week in Istanbul and Jakarta are in fact evidence the group is faltering.ISIL has assumed a defensive posture in Iraq and Syria, Austin said at a news conference in Florida.Going forward, we can expect to see him rely increasingly on acts of terrorism such as we saw this week in Baghdad and in Turkey, and most recently in Jakarta, he added.The IS group, which swept through vast rgions of Iraq and Syria in 2014 and 2015 and captured a string of cities, has seen recent setbacks across its self-proclaimed caliphate, including the loss of the key Iraqi city of Ramadi to US-supported local forces.A US-led coalition has also been hammering the groups oil infrastructure, including by blowing up hundreds of trucks used to ferry illicit crude oil around Syria, and this week bombed a financial facility in the Iraqi city of Mosul that US officials said held millions of dollars in cash.Austin, who has headed CENTCOM since March 2013 and will shortly be stepping down, said the IS group is upping its overseas actions to distract from such losses.ISIL wants to draw attention away from the growing number of setbacks that it is experiencing, Austin said, using an alternative name for the IS group.It is important to understand that these terrorist acts dont necessarily mean ISIL is getting stronger, he added.ISIL by its nature is a terrorist organization and by conducting these attacks, he is attempting to produce an image of invincibility in the wake of setbacks. So overall, we are making progress.Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said he will recommend that President Barack Obama nominate General Joseph Votel to replace Austin.Votel currently heads the Special Operations Command. His nomination would reflect the increased role special operations troops are carrying out in the region as elite US commandos launch raids against IS jihadists.General Votel has a wealth of in-depth, politico-military experience -- that is working with foreign governments and militaries -- and is therefore well-equipped to handle the complex challenges of CENTCOM, Carter said.

Oil prices bounce back from 12-year lows

Posted:

NEW YORK (AFP) - Oil prices rose from 12-year lows Thursday in action seen as a technical bounce after they collapsed below $30 a barrel this week amid ongoing global oversupply.US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for February rose 72 cents to $31.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent North Sea crude for delivery in February also gained 72 cents, finishing at $31.03 a barrel in London.What weve seen, if anything, is a bit of a technical bounce, said Bart Melek, head of commodity strategy at TD Securities.Probably for now the market has oversold a little bit. So I wouldnt say that something fundamental is happening today, he said.Two weeks into 2016, oil prices have has shed more than 15 percent as investors worry about the prolonged global crude-oil oversupply and the uncertain demand outlook, particularly in China.The WTI fell below $30 a barrel on Tuesday and it was Brents turn on Wednesday, bringing the benchmark contracts to the lowest levels in about 12 years.Were starting to see some bottom here in the US, maybe were seeing a bottom at $30 dollars, not much less, said Carl Larry at Frost & Sullivan. Theres some consolidation going on.Nevertheless, most analysts expect gains will be short-lived.The wider market remains under moderate selling pressure... an ongoing physical supply/demand surplus still adding to global inventories, Tim Evans of Citi Futures said in a note to clients.Iran also continues to make progress toward implementation day on its nuclear agreement with international powers, with sanctions likely to be lifted within days and additional oil to flow soon thereafter, Evans added.Iran said Thursday it had removed the core of its Arak heavy water reactor and filled part of it with cement, a crucial step under a soon-to-be implemented nuclear agreement with six world powers.The implementation of the deal, allowing the removal of sanctions, is expected by Sunday.

Dollar heads higher as stock, oil markets rebound

Posted:

NEW YORK (AFP) - The dollar climbed Thursday as the oil market bounced up from 12-year lows, providing relief on the US stock market after a bout of heavy selling.Oil prices rose both in New York and London, and Wall Street stocks rallied, in part reversing Thursdays rout.The euro dipped to $1.0865 around 2200 GMT from $1.0874 at the same time Wednesday.The yen, traditionally sought as a haven in times of uncertainty, lost ground as markets calmed. The euro edged up to 128.27 yen while the dollar jumped 2.9 percent, buying 118.06 yen. Investors are watching how central banks react to the sharp fall in oil prices that is muffling inflation. As widely expected, the Bank of England on Thursday unanimously decided to keep its main interest rate at a record-low 0.50 percent, where it has been since March 2009, and maintained its level of cash stimulus.It said that recent declines in oil prices will depress global inflation in the near term.The BoEs main task is to keep annual inflation close to a target of 2.0 percent. But the most recent official data showed that consumer prices rose by only 0.1 percent in November.The European Central Bank mets on policy next week, followed a week later by the Federal Reserve.Federal Reserve policy maker James Bullard warned Thursday that the huge slide in oil prices may delay a return of inflation to the central banks 2.0 percent target.In announcing its first interest rate hike in more than nine years in December, the Fed had said it was confident that inflation would pick up over the medium term.However, Bullard said, Inflation expectations in the US may be falling. If so, this would put downward pressure on inflation.He said the shift in market-based expectations is becoming worrisome.
