Syrian government agrees to let women and children leave Homs

The UN mediator at the Geneva peace talks, Lakhdar Brahimi, says the Syrian government has agreed to let women and children leave the besieged town of Homs.
The rebel-held districts in the Old City of Homs have been under siege since June 2012, with many residents trapped in dire conditions.
The undertaking to relieve their plight was given during the second day of face-to-face talks in Geneva aimed at ending the almost three-year conflict.
Mr Brahimi also says the opposition had agreed to give the government lists of detainees held by armed groups that it had authority over or contact with.
"What we have been told by the government side is that women and children in this besieged area of the city are welcome to leave immediately," he said.
"Hopefully starting tomorrow, women and children will be able to leave the Old City in Homs. Other civilians are also welcome to leave, but the government needs a list of their names first."
Syrian deputy foreign minister Faisal Muqdad confirmed that women and children would be allowed to leave but blamed rebel forces for preventing that.
"I have been personally involved over the past two years to get these women and children out of the Old City of Homs. But we could not," Mr Muqdad told reporters.
"In all these attempts we have been prevented by the armed groups, who did not allow a single person out," he said.
Mr Brahimi is calling on the international community to lift sanctions on Syria.
He says the negotiations will take time and are best dealt with at a slow, considered pace.
"If you run you may gain one hour and lose one week. So we are going slow," Mr Brahimi said.
"I hope that we will continue to be going slow. So far I think that the process is continuing but it's very early days," he said.
The apparent but limited breakthrough in negotiations has come on the second day of sessions held to negotiate humanitarian measures, before the much tougher discussions about the handover of political power comes in the next day.

Scuba diver dies off beach south-east of Melbourne

A scuba diver has died after getting into trouble off Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
The man, believed to be in his 40s, was diving alone off a beach on Browns Road at Rye when a group of divers spotted him struggling around 3pm (AEDT).
They dragged him to shore and tried to resuscitate him, but he could not be revived.
He died at the scene.
Charles Pratt was one of the divers who discovered the man in trouble and said the deceased diver took a risk by diving on his own.
"It looks like he might have jumped in with his regulator off which is sad because his tank was still full," he said.
"It's a dangerous sport, clearly, but if you take precautions it should be relatively safe."

Jacki Weaver awarded Australian film's highest accolade

Lots of highs, lots of lows and plenty of perseverance: that's how Jacki Weaver has described her half a century as an actor.
The performer has been named as the 39th recipient of the Raymond Longford Award for her roles in movies over the past 52 years.
"I thought when you got a lifetime achievement award you were about to cark it," the actor joked when the announcement was made in Sydney yesterday.
Jacki Weaver film and TV roles Silver Linings Playbook (2012)Animal Kingdom (2010)Cosi (1996)Homicide (1967-77)Alvin Purple (1976)Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)- source IMDB
Weaver's first screen role was the 1966 ABC TV children's sci-fi series Wandjina! and her first film role was in the 1971 movie Stork.
Weaver has spent most of her career on the stage but after a film-role drought, a part in David Michod's international hit Animal Kingdom catapulted her into Hollywood.
She was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as the matriarch of a Melbourne crime family, and she quickly earned another Oscar nomination for her part in Silver Linings Playbook opposite Robert De Niro.
Now, the 66-year-old actor is the toast of Tinseltown.
"Not the girl next door, the granny next door now," she said.

Russia bans Australian beef products over growth stimulant
Posted January 27, 2014 20:50:40 Related Story: Organic beef industry booming Related Story: Indonesia flags cattle import permit increase Related Story: Beef producers struggle with export ban aftermath Map: Australia
Russia has imposed a ban on Australian beef by-products, including offal, over the use of a growth stimulant allowed in some nations but which Moscow considers unsafe.
The Interfax news agency said Australia had sent 13,000 tonnes of beef by-products to ex-Soviet countries in the first 10 months of last year - most of them to Russia - in a trade worth $21.3 million.
Russia's agriculture watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor said the ban was imposed after the discovery of the growth stimulant trenbolone "in several shipments" of Australian beef by-products.
Australia reported shipping 30,000 tonnes of beef to Russia in 2013.
Rosselkhoznadzor chief Sergei Dankvert told Interfax that the ban applied to beef by-products because they accumulate the steroid in greater quantities than regular meat.
Russia has frequently imposed temporary bans on meat products over the use of hormones that are allowed in countries such as the United States but restricted by Moscow's more stringent regulations.
The temporary restrictions also affect Belarus and Kazakhstan - two ex-Soviet nations that are part of a Moscow-led Customs Union.
Australia is the world's third-largest exporter of beef after the United States and Brazil.

It may have been aspirational," an analyst says Israel's intelligence agency says a three-man operation was planning a coordinated attack Among the targets were the U.S. Embassy, Jerusalem Convention Center, the agency said Iyad Halil Mohammad Abu Sara was one of the alleged operatives, authorities said
View the Original article
Jerusalem (CNN) -- Israel has broken up an al Qaeda terror cell that planned a coordinated attack that included bombing the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israeli authorities said Wednesday.
Three men -- two from Jerusalem and one from the West Bank -- have been arrested in connection with the plot that called for a double suicide bombing targeting the embassy and the Jerusalem Convention Center, according to Israel's Shin Bet intelligence agency.It is the second time in recent months that authorities claim to have halted an al Qaeda attack planned by Palestinian militants, according to Israeli media. In November, authorities claimed three Palestinians with ties to al Qaeda were killed by Israeli troops during a gunfight in the West Bank, according to the reports.The Israeli intelligence agency alleged Wednesday Iyad Halil Mohammad Abu Sara of East Jerusalem is "the relevant member" of the three-man operation, a statement released by Shin Bet's media office said.Abu Sara was allegedly recruited by al Qaeda to go to Syria for training and return to Israel, where he was to connect with others who were to have entered the country using forged Russian documents, the statement said.The arrests came as peace talks were under way in Geneva, Switzerland, to end the Syrian civil war, a conflict where violence has been spilled into neighboring countries and raised fears it could destabilize the region.Chief among those fears is that the chaos generated by the conflict has allowed an al Qaeda-linked group to take hold in Syria, attracting foreign fighters who can strike neighboring countries.View the Original article

View the Original article
(CNN) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted Wednesday that the Obama administration mischaracterizes concessions by his side in the six-month nuclear deal with Iran, telling CNN in an exclusive interview that "we did not agree to dismantle anything."
Zarif told CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto that terminology used by the White House to describe the agreement differed from the text agreed to by Iran and the other countries in the talks -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany."The White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitments" under the agreement that took effect Monday, Zarif said in Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.As part of the accord, Iran was required to dilute its stockpile of uranium that had been enriched to 20%, well above the 5% level needed for power generation but still below the level for developing a nuclear weapon.View the Original article
