Prime Minister Narendra Modi has favoured a political solution in Sri Lanka that builds on the 13th amendment to the island nation’s Constitution.

In a meeting with a six-member delegation of the Tamil National Alliance, Mr. Modi stressed the need for a political solution that “addresses the aspirations of the Tamils for equality, dignity, justice and self-respect within the framework of a united Sri Lanka.”

The Prime Minister conveyed to the TNA delegation on Saturday that he had already raised some concerns relating to the treatment of the Tamil community with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

The TNA leaders pointed to the continuing persecution of the Tamils and said that India would have to come to the defence of the minority community.

Nato 2014 Summit: UK Terror Threat Increased to 'Severe' as World Leaders Gather

Home Secretary Theresa May has raised UK terror threat to 'severe'(Reuters)
Days before the United Kingdom hosts one of the most significant Nato summits in decades, the terror threat facing Britain has been raised from 'substantial' to 'severe', suggesting an attack is highly likely.

Home Secretary Theresa May announced the upgrade, saying it was as a direct result of the threat posed by Britons returning from Syria and Iraq where they have fought alongside Isis combatants (also known as Islamic State).

World leaders are set to descend on Wales for the 2014 Nato summit at Newport's Celtic Manor in south Wales. High on the agenda will be the threat posed by IS, as well as Russia and the separatist war in the eastern Ukraine.

Experts have also highlighted 11 September, the anniversary of the al-Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, as another possible target date for Islamist terrorists.

The threat level is now just one below the highest level of 'critical' and was downgraded in July 2011 to 'substantial'.

Intelligence agencies continually monitor the likelihood of a terror attack in the UK and, with the growing crisis in Iraq and Syria, have been warning about hundreds of Britons who have travelled to the region to swell the ranks of IS militants.

11th anniversary of 9/11 attacks could be a trigger for attempted terrorist attacks

Many of those individuals have now returned to the UK and it is those fighters the intelligence agencies are concerned about.

May was eager to reassure the change does not mean people need to fear an attack and, for most, they will not notice any change in their daily lives.

Security at the Summit

More than 150 ministers and heads of state will be attending the Nato summit in Newport, so security will be high to ensure the safety of some of the world's most important people.

To keep the politicians secure, key sites in Cardiff - where Nato events will also be taking place - and Newport have had security fencing in place along roads, cycle routes and paths.

There will be 9,500 police officers on duty during the two-day summit, sourced from all 43 police forces from the UK, while Nato warships will be present in Cardiff Bay and Ministry of Defence officers will be on hand to make sure all areas are secure.

Protests against the Nato Summit 2014 in Newport, South Wales.Vertigogen,

The week before the Nato Summit in Newport is due to kick off, the first protesters have opened a "peace camp" in the city's Tredegar Park.

Campaigners have arrived ahead of a weekend of marches and meetings, as well as a Counter Summit, taking place on the campsite this Sunday (August 31).

Estimates as to how many protesters are expected vary, with Eddie Clarke of the "No to NATO" group telling IBTimes UK that his group alone is expecting hundreds of campers. They will be joined by representatives of groups such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), the Stop the War Coalition and South West against Nuclear (SWAN).

A heavy police presence will patrol Newport and Cardiff, 12 miles away. There are 9,500 officers expected, with many being shipped in from as far afield as London.

Many of the protesters are aggrieved by the very existence of Nato, which is taken to represent nuclear proliferation. Groups representing refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya are also expected to be in attendance.

"The objectives are to get rid of nuclear and Nato, to completely obliterate weapons of mass destruction. The short-term aims are to connect each similar group in Nato member countries to us, to have a single voice, equal in each individual country," Clarke said.

However there is also significant discontent on a local level. The Summit, which takes place at the Celtic Manor resort next Thursday and Friday, is expected to lead to widespread disruption.

There are 12 miles of perimeter fences now in place in parts of Newport and Cardiff, as police try to ensure the security of some of the world's highest profile politicians.

But with roads and schools closing, many have been forced to take time off work, with local businesses also complaining about the disruption.

"Nobody has given anything clear as to how much money it will bring into Wales or Newport. People having to take the day off work because of travel disruptions and schools being closed, it looks like it will have the opposite effect.

Money's going to be taken out of the economy because people aren't going to be able to get to work," Simon Coopey, who will a stand for Plaid Cymru in Newport West at the next general election, told IBTimes UK.

The Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said: "I'm very sensitive to the fact that people are experiencing daily inconvenience but this is very much a temporary measure and we're hugely appreciative of what people are doing. The important point is to try to keep the disruption to a minimum, but not to rush the preparations."

Gaza truce collapses, fighting erupts, Israel orders negotiators home

Netanyahu said on Monday the Israeli military was prepared to take "very aggressive action".

Gaza truce collapses, fighting erupts, Israel orders negotiators home

GAZA/JERUSALEM Tue Aug 19, 2014 6:43pm EDT

(Reuters) - A ceasefire in the Gaza Strip collapsed on Tuesday, with Palestinian militants firing dozens of rockets at Israel and Israel launching air strikes that health officials said killed three people including a woman and a young girl in Gaza.

Accusing Gaza Islamists of breaking the truce, Israel promptly recalled its negotiators from talks in Cairo, leaving the fate of Egyptian-brokered efforts to secure a lasting peace hanging in the balance.

Rockets were fired from Gaza nearly eight hours before a ceasefire - extended by a day on Monday - was due to expire. Later dozens of rockets took aim at a number of cities and one missile hit open land in the greater Tel Aviv area, causing some damage but no casualties.

Gaza witnesses said Israeli aircraft launched 35 attacks, including one on a house in Gaza City, where hospital officials said a woman and a two-year-old girl were killed. A third unidentified person also died in the strike, officials said.

Israeli media said Israel had targeted a senior Hamas figure at the house that was bombed, possibly the head of a rocket launching operation. The army declined to comment on the bombing of that particular home in Gaza City, saying only that it had bombed 30 sites across Gaza on Tuesday.

Gaza's dominant Islamist group Hamas said it fired at least 40 rockets at Israel after that deadly hit, targeting Jerusalem and the Tel Aviv area including Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport. An Israeli security official said there was no disruption of activity at the airport.

A police spokesman said a car was damaged in Tel Aviv and a rocket was intercepted in the Jerusalem area, where witnesses heard several explosions shortly after warning sirens sounded, and the military said one rocket struck inside an open area.

"Police have stepped up patrols in response to the wave of rocket fire," spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

Hamas's armed wing issued a statement after the rocket barrage accusing Israel of "violating the calm and committing a massacre ... the enemy has opened the gateway to hell." It vowed Israel would "pay a heavy price" for its air strikes.

Earlier Hamas had denied any involvement in rocket fire when three rockets struck in the Beersheba region in southern Israel, which Israel denounced as a violation of a truce eight hours before it expired at 1700 ET or midnight local time.

Mark Regev, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, called that initial attack "a grave and direct violation of the ceasefire" and a military spokesman said that in response to the salvoes, "terror targets across the Gaza Strip" were attacked.

On Netanyahu's order, Israeli delegates to the indirect talks in Cairo on ending the Gaza war and charting the territory's future, immediately flew home.

Israel has said repeatedly that it will not negotiate under fire, and Egyptian mediators have been struggling to end the five-week-old Gaza conflict and seal a deal that would open the way for reconstruction aid to flow into the territory of 1.8 million people, where thousands of homes have been destroyed.

The Palestinian Health Ministry says some 2,019 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the small, densely populated coastal territory since fighting started on July 8.

Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel have also been killed during the offensive, which the Jewish state launched with the stated aim of halting militant fire.

MORE VIOLENCE FEARED

Suggesting that Israel expected more violence, the military instructed Israeli civilians to open bomb shelters as far as 80 km (50 miles) from Gaza, or beyond the Tel Aviv area.

Israel's Channel 10 TV said those instructions may have been issued in anticipation of the retaliation that might follow were Israel to target a senior Hamas official. The station did not identify the official.

Israelis living within a seven km (four mile) range were urged to sleep in safe rooms or shelters.

Israeli media said municipalities in the Tel Aviv area were reopening shelters they had shut when fighting subsided two weeks ago.

The violence also prompted a new exodus of dozens of Palestinian families who had fled previous fighting and had returned home only days ago.

A Palestinian delegate in Cairo said negotiations for a durable ceasefire were near collapse. "The talks have been suspended unofficially," said Qais Abdel Karim of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The Palestinians want Egypt and Israel to lift their blockades of the economically crippled Gaza Strip that predated the Israeli offensive.

Hamas leader Izzat al-Risheq told reporters at a Cairo hotel he believed chances of reaching another truce were "very weak". Risheq posted on Twitter that Egypt was awaiting an Israeli response before the truce officially expired.

Israel, like Egypt, views Hamas as a security threat and wants guarantees that any removal of border restrictions will not result in militant groups obtaining weapons.

A senior Palestinian official in Gaza said sticking points to an agreement in the Cairo talks have been Hamas's demands to build a seaport and an airport, which Israel wants to discuss only at a later stage.

Israel has called for the disarming of militant groups in the enclave. Hamas has said that laying down its weapons is not an option.

Punctuated by several temporary ceasefires, the scale of fighting had diminished greatly since Israel pulled its ground troops out of Gaza two weeks ago and it had seemed there was little appetite on either side for the war to drag on.

However, Netanyahu said on Monday the Israeli military was prepared to take "very aggressive action" if shooting against Israel resumed.

Israel and Hamas have not met face-to-face in Cairo, where the talks are being held in a branch of the intelligence agency, with Egyptian mediators shuttling between the parties in separate rooms. Israel regards Hamas, which advocates its destruction, as a terrorist group.

Move against Nouri al-Maliki deepens Iraq crisis

Move against Nouri al-Maliki deepens Iraq crisis
By Borzou Daragahi in Cairo and Erika Solomon in Beirut and Richard McGregor in WashingtonAuthor alerts
Last updated: August 11, 2014 10:43 pm

The exclusion of Mr Maliki was endorsed by Washington, with Barack Obama interrupting his holidays to deliver a statement in support of the “constitutional process” under way in Baghdad.
The Obama administration has long wanted to get rid of Mr Maliki, after giving up hope that he could be persuaded to run a less sectarian government which excludes the Sunni minority.
Mr Obama called the choice of a new prime minister “a promising step forward in forming a new government which can unite different communities.”

The power struggle in Baghdad highlights deep disagreements within the country’s Shia political and religious establishment over the fate of Mr Maliki, who has insisted on retaining the premiership despite widespread opposition. Sunni, Kurdish and rival Shia blocs blame Mr Maliki for the sectarian and ethnic divisions that paved the way for a two month offensive by militants fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, known as Isis.
A ceremony to endorse Mr Maliki’s replacement was attended by the Sunni Speaker of parliament and leading Shia politicians in a sign of cross-sectarian support for his replacement. It was also broadcast on state television – long seen as under the control of Mr Maliki.

Mr Maliki immediately challenged the attempt to unseat him, issuing a letter rejecting the authority of the National Alliance grouping in parliament, which includes dozens of defecting members of his own bloc.
It remains unclear whether Mr Maliki will remain in his post while Mr Abadi tries to form a government, although there were fears that he could use force to retain the premiership amid reports of a bolstered security presence on the streets of Baghdad. Mr Maliki has consolidated his control over the security services during his eight years in power.

“Next few hours are going to make or break Iraq,” the Iraqi scholar Haydar al-Khoei wrote on Twitter. “Maliki’s reaction to the Shia bloc’s move against him will be key. He can go now or burn Iraq.”
The UN envoy to Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, also endorsed Mr Abadi’s designation. “All groups in parliament should co-operate to swiftly form an inclusive government,” he said in a message posted to social media.

The political struggle unfolded as the US confirmed that it had agreed to give direct military aid to Kurdish forces, or peshmerga, who are also locked in battle with Isis. The militants have seized a third of the country and surprised and shocked many when they over-ran areas under the control of the peshmerga, who had been considered a tougher proposition than government forces.
However, Washington played down the impact of US air strikes on Isis. General William Mayville said in a briefing at the Pentagon that the strikes had slowed the momentum of Isis but had not contained them or affected their overall capabilities.

Backed by US air strikes, Kurdish fighters retook from Isis the towns of Gwer and Makhmour southwest of Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. But Isis still controls the Mosul dam and has pushed the peshmerga out of the strategic town of Jalawla in Diyala province, north of Baghdad.

Mr Abadi, 62, is a British-educated engineer and a Dawa party stalwart who is often described as relatively moderate and low-key. He served as communications minister in the shortlived US-appointed government of Iyad Allawi in 2004. Mr Abadi’s appointment came hours after an Iraqi court appeared to support Mr Maliki’s effort to halt Mr Masoum from naming any other candidate as premier.

However, later on Monday the Iraqi army’s official Twitter page posted a statement saying: “We are the army of Iraq and not of Maliki.”

Mr Maliki’s coalition won the most seats in April 30 elections but the larger National Alliance of Shia groupings that coalesced after the vote insists that it must be given the first shot at forming a government.
Members of Mr Maliki’s State of Law coalition – and the Dawa party around which it is built – appear to have abandoned him. The defections gathered pace after a widely reported July 25 statement attributed to the country’s senior Shia cleric, Ayatollah Ali Sistani, urging politicians not to cling to power.

“This was a game changer, especially after Maliki’s own Dawa party then issued a statement echoing Sistani’s words,” said Mr Khoei, the scion of a famous Shia clerical family.
