Where the diplomatic curve will lead. According to Vladislav Vorobiev ("Russian newspaper"), the international conference on Syria "Geneva-2" should be convened in November. But the question is: who will the Americans send there from the Syrian opposition?
The United States faces default. The owner of the White House is not up to Syria. And the first foreign policy positions put forward by John Kerry, who is tasked to bring the Syrian crisis to a diplomatic solution.
The Secretary of State had previously made it clear that he would be able to sit down at the negotiating table the Syrian opposition. However, in Syria, there is a real war for the redistribution of territories under control between various militant groups. And the warriors from al-Qaeda are more successful than others.
"The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" is fighting with the "Syrian Free Army." Militants accuse the SSA in collaboration with US and German intelligence services, embezzling humanitarian supplies and ... assistance to the Syrian regular army.
The SSA responded with a control restoration operation in Aleppo province. However, local observers are sure: the “moderate” forces simply do not have for such an operation. Most likely, al-Qaeda will establish control over oil, water and agricultural resources in northern Syria.
The situation is uncomfortable for Washington. The SSA may lose the inter-insurgency war. Who, then, will Mr. Kerry send to Geneva-2? Not al Qaeda members!
Well, why, in fact, not? Aggressive peacemakers from the White House, we add from ourselves, and from Congress too, have repeatedly been noted in ignorance of the situation in Syria. McCain was photographed with bearded men - kidnappers, considering them fighters for Syrian democracy, and the White House administration (also represented by H. Clinton and her aides) has repeatedly stated the heterogeneity of the opposition and that, unlike Libya, Washington does not have a clear concept that this very opposition is itself. However, helping the opposition Hillary eager. After all, the main thing is “Assad must leave,” not the consequences. Such a “short” strategy continues now by John Kerry and his assistants. And in this sense, the arrival of a bearded detachment, temporarily dressed in a civilian dress, would have looked quite logical (or crazy - the same thing in the USA). In their speeches they will have to replace the word “Sharia” with “democracy”, that's all. Short mind and short historical the memory of the American secretaries of state apparently excludes the further interest of the bearded no longer in Syria, but in America.
Transit through Beirut. An advance team of UN staff and experts of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemicals weapons arrived in Damascus and established a "logistics base for the immediate start of work" on the destruction of toxic substances. He writes about it "Russian newspaper" with reference to RIA "News".
The team includes 19 inspectors and 14 UN staff. They arrived in Damascus in transit through Beirut.
On the edge of the abyss. In Beirut, representatives of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia published a review of economic and social trends in the Arab world in 2012-2013, reports MIGnews.com.
The authors of the report warn: the continuation of the war in Syria will lead to the fact that the unemployment rate in the country to 2015 will reach 58%, and the level of government revenues will be reduced by 90%.
According to the pessimistic scenario, in Syria there will be a compression of GNP by 57,9%, public and private investments will fall by 85,3%, exports will be reduced by 58,9%.
This year, the Syrian GNP has shrunk by 31,4%.
The authors point out: "The war has put the country on the brink of a social and economic abyss, has created an acute social, political and economic crisis, with unbearable losses for future generations."
Earlier, reminds MIGnews.com, UNRWA report was published on the economic situation in Syria. According to this document, the official economy of the country has ceased to exist: it is supplanted by the black market. It will take at least thirty years to restore the country's economy, provided that the war ends immediately.
Ossetian Islamists killed in Syria. In Syria, several Ossetians died, including the deputy former mufti of North Ossetia, reports Interfax with reference to the newspaper "Kommersant".
Among those killed was Yeghishe Tsarukyan, ex-deputy Ali Evteev when he was a North Ossetian mufti.
The former Orthodox Evteev was the first ethnically Russian mufti when he headed the Religious Board of Muslims of the Republic (from the Council of Muftis of Russia). This man resigned in May 2010. The reason for the resignation was a scandal with an interview in which Evteev admitted that he was a Muslim radical in the past and headed the “jamaat”. Evteev studied at a Wahhabi madrasa in Uchkeken in Karachay-Cherkessia and went to Khattab to study.
E. Tsarukyan was killed last year.
Two other natives of North Ossetia were killed in a battle with the Syrian government army when crossing the Turkish-Syrian border in mid-September. According to special services, in 2012, both went to Egypt to study in Islamic universities, but a few months later they ended up in Turkish militant training camps.
Jihad is expanding. Syrian jihadist groups seeking to form an Islamic state in the Middle East expand their region of action, reports "RT" with reference to The Guardian.
In Iraqi cities and villages near the Syrian border, militants successfully increase influence. Cruelty and violence in this part of the country have become familiar. Reports of new terrorist attacks come almost every day.
Iraq was overwhelmed by a wave of violence, in which only 800 people became victims in August. Since the beginning of the year, almost 5 thousands of people in the country have died in armed clashes and as a result of explosions, according to the United Nations.
Glasnost in Iran? The Iranian President promised to ensure the right of residents to access global information. This was reported by the television channel "Fox News", reports corr. ITAR-TASS Alexandra Urusova.
Rouhani via Twitter's microblog answered the question of one of the founders of the network, Jack Dorsey, about whether Iranians see Rouhani’s messages.
“Good evening, Jack,” the Iranian president wrote back. “As I said earlier, my efforts are aimed at ensuring the right of our people to get convenient access to global information.”
Earlier, Rouhani promised to ease the situation with censorship on the Internet.
ITAR-TASS recalls that in September 2013 due to a technical error, the Iranians for some time gained access to many foreign servers, including Twitter and Facebook, which had been banned in 2009 the year before the presidential election.
The secret arsenal of Israel. The Syrian question was eclipsed by the news that a vote was passed in the United Nations, in which it was decided whether Israel should join the international community by allowing nuclear weapons inspectors to see what the state had been hiding for decades. About this resource writes 21stcenturywire.com (translation source - Mixednews.ru).
The unnamed author notes:
The resource reports, referring to the American online edition, that from the 94-s of the countries that voted on the decision to force Israel to sign the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, the country has voted 51 "against" All countries of the Middle East, without exception, spoke in favor of Israel joining the treaty, but the United States, Great Britain and European countries made up the majority of opponents of such accession.
How Washington armed the terrorists. There is a scandal in Washington: American weapons have disappeared in Libya. Fox journalists, thanks to sources at the US State Department, found out that in the summer in the former Jamahiriya, the arsenals created by the Pentagon for American special forces had been stolen. This tells Alexander Gasyuk ("Russian newspaper").
Armaments were stored at a base near Tripoli. In this training camp, American special forces trained the counter-terrorism skills of Libyan law enforcement officers. According to unconfirmed information, this base was also used by US intelligence agencies to hunt for terrorists who attacked a consulate in Benghazi in September 2012.
It is not clear how the Libyans stole weapons under the noses of US special forces. Hundreds of automatic rifles, pistols, laser sights and night vision devices disappeared without a trace. The Pentagon also missed several dozen armored Humvees equipped with satellite navigation systems.
“The loss of military equipment caused the termination of the US operation in Libya and the withdrawal of special forces,” a source told reporters, stating that weapons and “sensitive equipment” that fell into the hands of terrorists are extremely dangerous. “The bad guys can now precisely shoot at night without posing themselves.”
It is remarkable, the correspondent of “RG” notes that the number of murders has sharply increased in Tripoli.
Police or marauders? Shopkeepers at Westgate Shopping Center in Nairobi accused Kenyan soldiers and police of looting, according to "Lenta.ru" with reference to the Associated Press. According to businessmen, jewelry, mobile phones, cash from cash desks and alcohol disappeared from the stores.
Merchants have no solid evidence. However, the fact that after the seizure of the shopping center by terrorists the authorities cordoned off the building testifies to the possible involvement of law enforcement officers and the military in thefts. Only participants in the antiterrorist operation and representatives of the authorities could go inside. September 30 store owners were able to return to the center and took the remaining goods.
Hijabs will bring Turkey closer to Europe. The Prime Minister of Turkey delivered a program of political reforms; "Vesti". Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed to officially allow the wearing of the hijab in state institutions. Islamization? No, what are you. The wise Turkish prime minister has found a brilliant explanation for this reform step. According to him, this will be part of the democratization and rapprochement of Turkey with the countries of the European Union.
Other reforms are aimed at expanding the rights of national minorities. For example, Kurds will be allowed to restore the historical names of the settlements, use their alphabet and teach in their native language in private schools.
It is planned to reform the electoral system. It is either about maintaining the 10-percent barrier for parties seeking to enter parliament, or about lowering it to 5 percent, or abolishing it.
The case of Breivik lives. The Norwegian government will be formed by the Conservative Party and the Right Progress Party, which for several years was part of Anders Breivik, writes "Lenta.ru" with reference to "Kureren". This was reported at a press conference by the leader of the Conservatives Erna Solberg.
It is reported that the Christian People’s Party and the Liberal Party, which the conservatives had won the election won to negotiate the formation of the ruling coalition, refused to cooperate with the right, thus depriving themselves of the opportunity to influence the composition of the cabinet of ministers.
Now the conservatives and the right will begin negotiations on the direct formation of the Cabinet. Due to such a situation, the Progress Party will get into the government for the first time.
Anders Breivik has been a member of the Progress Party since 1999 of the year. He left the party in 2007 year. Today, the party is in favor of tightening immigration legislation.
Collapsed France and defending Switzerland. Nicolas Dufour ("The weather"; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") told that at the end of August the Swiss armored forces conducted exercises. Their script caused laughter: Armed units would invade Switzerland from the territory of the French Department of Jura.
The Swiss military invented that neighboring France could not withstand the financial crisis and collapsed into several independent regions. One of them, Sona, threatens to send troops into the territory of the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland. To prevent the invasion, Switzerland should write off “Sonya” debts.
Scenarios of maneuvers always seem ridiculous, says the commander of the 1-th armored brigade, Daniel Berger. The general said: "I adore France, there was no question of somehow denigrating her, and if someone from the French was offended, I apologize to them."
Now, let us add, the French president and the socialist Hollande should also conduct exercises aimed at freeing oppressed Switzerland from the domination of banking capital. The slogan of the teachings: "The expropriation of the expropriators."
The last Ukrainian call. October 1 in Ukraine started the autumn call for emergency service. It is reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense, writes "Lenta.ru".
This will be the last call of citizens for military service. By the end of next year, the Ukrainian army will be fully transferred to a contract basis. Refusal to call is registered in the program of reforming the army, designed for 2013-2017 years. Defense Minister Pavel Lebedev said that a key aspect of the reform "is the creation of a modern, compact, mobile and well-equipped army."
Yanukovych and the button. President of Ukraine 1 of October took part in demonstration and tactical exercises of the armed forces at the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region. The head of state launched the STUGNA-P anti-tank guided missiles. One of them, notes "Today", landed in the lake. A fragment of another flew over the head of the president. This is Marina Ilyina (Utro.ru).
The rocket hit the Zavadovsky reservoir in the village of Grushev. Killed a lot of fish. Moreover, at this time, as Comments.ua points out, there were six tents on the shore of the lake with tourists. The shock wave nearly knocked down the tent.
Yanukovych himself could have suffered. According to Galinfo, during the shooting of ammunition over the commander’s parade ground, where the president was, a missile fragment flew by.
State interests. A new agreement on a Russian military base on the territory of the republic was ratified in Tajikistan, extending its tenure to 2042. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to the Asia-Plus resource. October 1 agreement approved the lower house of the Tajik parliament.
The Minister of Defense of the Republic, Sherali Khairulloyev, stated that "the presence of a Russian military base in our country will serve the interests of both states."
As for Russia, it ratified the agreement back in May.
The Russian military base in Tajikistan, recalls Lenta, was created in the middle of the 2000s. It was formed on the basis of the 201 Motorized Rifle Division. Divisions of the Russian Federation are located in Dushanbe, Kulyab and Kurgan-Tube.
One hundred and ninety thousand unhappy Moldovans. Almost 200 thousands of Moldovan citizens will be denied entry into the territory of Russia. He writes about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Kommersant-MD and the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation. The reason is a violation of Russian immigration laws.
“Our information system has currently revealed information about 190 thousands of Moldovans who violate their stay. In relation to them, a decision will be made on closing the entry to the Russian Federation, ”the FMS press secretary Zalina Kornilova said.
We are talking about foreign citizens who come to Russia to earn money, but who do not draw up the necessary documents and exceed the legal period of stay without migration registration.
“They put a mark on expulsion from the country. Subsequently, they are not allowed into the Border Guard Service in Russia, ”the FMS representative explained.
In the Ministry of Labor of Moldova, notes "Kommersant-MD", could not answer the question of how to employ such a number of citizens. Earlier, the Moldovan authorities admitted that they are not ready for the return of labor migrants.
Chinese atomic news. Alexander Emelyanenkov ("Russian newspaper") spoke about the start of construction in China on the Russian project of the fourth power unit of the Tianwan NPP.

The contract for the construction of the second phase, concluded by Atomstroyexport with the Jiangsu Nuclear Energy Corporation, provides for the construction of two more power units with a total capacity of over two gigawatts.
"I have evidence on hand." As Marina Ilyina writes (Utro.ru), the Venezuelan president announced the decision to expel three American diplomats from the country. According to ABC News, they are suspected of involvement in sabotage in the Venezuelan electricity system.
On television, Maduro reported that diplomats have 48 hours to leave Venezuela.
According to the president, a group of embassy employees, who were monitored for several months, regularly held meetings in Caracas with representatives of extreme right-wing forces. The goal is to finance the development of sabotage plans for the Venezuelan power supply system.
“I have evidence in my hands,” said Comrade Maduro. “I don't care what kind of response the Barack Obama administration will take.” We will not allow the United States to interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela. ”
Maduro supported the nomination of V. Putin to the Nobel Peace Prize. The Venezuelan leader expressed support for the initiative to nominate the Russian president for the Nobel Peace Prize, noting that his actions saved the world from the war in Syria, reports RIA News" with reference to the Spanish agency «Efe».

Cleaning in "Rosreestre". The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has completed the audit of the activities of two deputy heads of the “Rosreestr”, Sergey Sapelnikov and Yuri Akinshin. As told Interfax the head of the ministry, Alexei Ulyukayev, both officials were dismissed.
“The audit of the Accounts Chamber was the basis for both substantive actions when writing a new FTP, as well as administrative actions. We agree with many things in the act of the Accounts Chamber. Based on this, I organized an official audit of the activities of the two deputy heads of the “Rosreestr”, Sapelnikov and Akinshin. The audit showed that the claims are fair and in terms of improper use of funds, and in terms of poor-quality performance of official duties, and various kinds of violations of regulations, procedures, and so on. Based on the results of this service check, both deputy heads were dismissed, ”the minister explained.
The newspaper "Izvestia" earlier reported that S. Sapelnikov 7 September left the country. First, he traveled by car to Belarus, and from there he moved to Ukraine. Necessary for the carrier of state secrets I category permission to leave Sapelnikov not received.
American shutdown. The US House of Representatives on Tuesday evening was unable to adopt bills to unblock funding for a number of government agencies, the correspondent reports. RIA News" Alexey Bogdanovsky.
A significant part of government agencies in the United States was closed in full or in part due to the lack of agreement on the budget.
According to the estimates of the international market research company IHS Global Insight, the partial closure of government agencies will cost the US about 300 million dollars a day.
Anna Fedyakina ("Russian newspaper") writes that 800 thousands of civil servants went on unpaid leave for an indefinite period.
On “Black Tuesday” the work of the Ministry of Commerce, Transport, Energy and partly the Ministry of Defense ceased. The offices of passport services and the tax administration, national parks, museums, and zoos have closed. The programs of subsidizing unprotected groups of the population and payment of pensions were frozen. Utilities also suspended work. The NASA program is almost completely frozen.
The main reason for disagreement in the Senate was the expenditure on health care reform promoted by Barack Obama. Republicans are demanding that the program be frozen. Democrats disagree and propose adopting a temporary budget until December 15.
Finance Minister Jacob Lew sent a letter to the Republicans, which, in particular, said: “The United States should not choose between paying social benefits to the elderly, veterans and paying the state, local jurisdiction and health care. The damage from such actions for our economy and financial markets is unpredictable. Any such plan is in fact a default, only under a different name. ”
Help "WG":
In the US, even the State Department shrinks.
As noted by "RG" With reference to RIA Novosti, the US Department of State and the International Development Agency (USAID) are cutting costs due to the temporary cessation of federal government funding. This is stated in a statement by State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
“We do not fully work as usual. The State Department and USAID will not hire new staff and drastically cut costs, Psaki said. “In particular, we avoid new commitments, sharply limit travel and conferences, and also avoid any but the most necessary purchases.”
On the consequences of the budget crisis in the US - in a new review of Western newspapers from "Foreign Press".
"On Tuesday, the US government suspended the work of many government agencies after Republicans and Democrats failed to overcome disagreements on the budget," writes The Financial Times.
“According to a CNN poll conducted over the weekend, 46% of respondents found guilty of stopping the work of state institutions of the Republicans, and 36% blamed Obama,” the article says.
The journalist of The Wall Street Journal analyzed the plans of government departments.
Air traffic controllers and air transport safety inspectors, as well as the Federal Highway Administration will continue to work in full. True, 18,5 thousand from 55,5 thousand employees of the US Department of Transportation will go on vacation.
Foreigners who apply for a US visa will have to be patient. “During the suspensions in 1995-1996, every day, about 20-30 thousand requests for visas for foreigners, as well as 200 thousand requests for passports by Americans for foreigners, remained unprocessed.” In those days, American airlines and the travel industry suffered millions in losses.
The author continues: consideration of requests for credits for small business will stop, consideration of civil lawsuits in courts will be limited, collection of statistical data will stop. In addition, medical research will be interrupted. Delays will be issued for weapons possession. Internal Revenue Service will cancel scheduled audits. Finally, the settlement of labor disputes will be delayed.
How the world responds to the closure of government agencies in the United States, Kevin Sullivan, a reporter for The Washington Post, found out.
In South Africa, joke about the situation. They say that before the USA, the IMF and the World Bank read the South Africa notations, “and now we see that they manage their country in some way as a“ banana republic ”.
Former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castañeda said: “Only we lacked another problem in the USA!”
Similar concerns were expressed by several British commentators.
But Germany almost gloating. German officials refer to confusion over fiscal policy in the US Congress as a reason for not listening to American advice on European issues.
"This fool can't get along with each other." As the correspondent reports. RIA News" Alexei Bogdanovsky, dozens of World War II veterans yesterday "stormed" the memorial, which was closed due to lack of funding. This was written by the newspaper “Washington Post”.
Veterans arrived in Washington to visit the World War II memorial. But he was closed by a metal fence. Someone from the veterans or their accompanying persons resolutely opened the barrier. The police did not intervene in this matter.
“This is the best act of civil disobedience in Washington in a long time,” said Republican Congressman Bill Heisenga.
88, a veteran of the Normandy landings, 1944, criticized politicians: “Why do they close down Washington? This fool can't get along with each other. We must drive them all out and put together new ones if they cannot work together. ”
Against power Americans lose confidence in the country's institutions of power. This was recognized in an interview with journalists, Defense Minister Chuck Hagel, reports the correspondent. ITAR-TASS Andrey Shitov.
The US military enjoys the trust of the people - at the level of “from 70 percent and above,” the Pentagon chief recalled. “But all the others have record lows,” he noted.
“I don’t think that anarchy is coming, that civil unrest is coming, I don’t want to exaggerate,” he said. “But you are right: the mood in the country is very strong against the authorities, in general against the entire current order of things.”
“People believe that their institutions, first of all the government, are letting them down,” stated Hagel. “And in many ways, this is from our side.”
According to the political science publication Real Estate Politics, the correspondent notes. ITAR-TASS, the average personal rating of the President of the country on the basis of a set of sociological studies is now minus 6,2 percent (50,6% negative reviews with 44,4% positive).

Organizer from "KKK" Richard Preston told reporters: "This will be a protest against Barack Obama, who holds the presidency in violation of the constitution, illegal immigrants and for restoring order in his own country." Preston explained: “Barack Obama has never been able to prove that he was born in the USA and is a citizen who may be our president. We want the country's borders closed and the government focused on expelling illegal immigrants. The United States must cease to play the role of a “world gendarme” because they are not able to restore order in their own yard. ”
Kukluksklanovtsy, we will add from ourselves, picked up the most successful time for our introductions: the government is "turned off", and the confidence ratings of Obama and Congress are in the red. As for “order in one's own yard,” organizations like “KKK” are often put forward in the front ranks of protesters in times of economic crisis.

The secret arsenal of Israel. The Syrian question was eclipsed by the news that a vote was passed in the United Nations, in which it was decided whether Israel should join the international community by allowing nuclear weapons inspectors to see what the state had been hiding for decades. About this resource writes 21stcenturywire.com (translation source - Mixednews.ru).
The unnamed author notes:
“Hiding the military nuclear arsenal is not an easy trick. A recent UN attempt to lobbying clearly indicates that the state of Israel, concealed by its main patrons in the faces of the United States, Britain and France, adheres to its own set of rules that lies outside of international laws and standards. ”
The resource reports, referring to the American online edition, that from the 94-s of the countries that voted on the decision to force Israel to sign the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, the country has voted 51 "against" All countries of the Middle East, without exception, spoke in favor of Israel joining the treaty, but the United States, Great Britain and European countries made up the majority of opponents of such accession.
How Washington armed the terrorists. There is a scandal in Washington: American weapons have disappeared in Libya. Fox journalists, thanks to sources at the US State Department, found out that in the summer in the former Jamahiriya, the arsenals created by the Pentagon for American special forces had been stolen. This tells Alexander Gasyuk ("Russian newspaper").
Armaments were stored at a base near Tripoli. In this training camp, American special forces trained the counter-terrorism skills of Libyan law enforcement officers. According to unconfirmed information, this base was also used by US intelligence agencies to hunt for terrorists who attacked a consulate in Benghazi in September 2012.
It is not clear how the Libyans stole weapons under the noses of US special forces. Hundreds of automatic rifles, pistols, laser sights and night vision devices disappeared without a trace. The Pentagon also missed several dozen armored Humvees equipped with satellite navigation systems.
“The loss of military equipment caused the termination of the US operation in Libya and the withdrawal of special forces,” a source told reporters, stating that weapons and “sensitive equipment” that fell into the hands of terrorists are extremely dangerous. “The bad guys can now precisely shoot at night without posing themselves.”
It is remarkable, the correspondent of “RG” notes that the number of murders has sharply increased in Tripoli.

The offices of passport services and the tax administration, national parks, museums, and zoos have closed. The programs of subsidizing unprotected groups of the population and payment of pensions were frozen. Utilities also suspended work. The NASA program is almost completely frozen.

Finance Minister Jacob Lew sent a letter to the Republicans, which, in particular, said: “The United States should not choose between paying social benefits to the elderly, veterans and paying the state, local jurisdiction and health care. The damage from such actions for our economy and financial markets is unpredictable. Any such plan is in fact a default, only under a different name. ”
