IAEA not ready to verify Iran nuclear deal 
Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 11:35 AM PST
The future of Iran's Arak heavy water IR-40 reactor is one of the key points in a landmark nuclear deal Tehran recently signed with world powers in GenevaThe UN nuclear watchdog said Thursday it was not yet ready to verify Iran's compliance with the recent deal with world powers, as Tehran invited inspectors to the key Arak site. "We need to study the agreement (struck in Geneva on Sunday) and we have to identify the ways in which the elements relevant to the IAEA be put into practice," International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yuyika Amano said. He added that the Vienna-based body would need more money to carry out the enlarged inspection role foreseen in Iran's breakthrough deal with the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany -- the P5+1. "This requires a significant amount of money and manpower.... The IAEA's budget is very, very tight.

A sinister night for 3 women in Egypt protest wave 
Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 11:40 AM PST
FILE - In this Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2013 file photo, Egyptian police fire water cannons to disperse a protest by secular anti-government activists in Cairo, the security forces' first implementation of a controversial new law forbidding protests held without a permit from authorities. After being detained at a Cairo protest, the 14 women, some of Egypt's most prominent democracy advocates, were beaten, pulled by the hair and piled into a police van, taken on a sinister nighttime ride through the desert where they were finally dumped by the road, the women recount. The abuse, reminiscent of the Hosni Mubarak era, points to how Egypt's new military-backed authorities are becoming bolder in silencing dissent, exploiting the fight against Islamists and divisions among secular activists. (AP Photo/Mohammed Asad, File)CAIRO (AP) — The three women are among Egypt's most active democracy campaigners, the faces of its revolution. Through a string of rulers the past three years— autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the military, the Islamists — they have been at the forefront of protests, chronicled police abuses and struggled to limit the power of the military.

Pope ramps up charity office to be near poor, sick 
Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 11:06 AM PST
In this photo taken on Sept.19, 2013 provided by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Vatican Almoner, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, right, attends the ceremony for his episcopal ordination, in St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican. The existence of the Vatican Almoner dates back centuries: It is mentioned in a papal bull from the 13th-century Pope Innocent III, and Pope Gregory X, who ruled from 1271-1276, organized it into an official Holy See office for papal charity. Up until Krajewski came along, the almoner was typically an aging Vatican diplomat who was serving his final years before being allowed to retire at age 75. Francis changed all that, tapping the 50-year-old Pole to be a more vigorous, hands-on extension of himself. The almoner's duties are two-fold: carrying out acts of charity, and raising the money to fund them. (AP Photo/L'Osservatore Romano, ho)VATICAN CITY (AP) — When he was archbishop of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis was known to sneak out at night and break bread with the homeless, sit with them literally on the street and eat with them, as part of his aim to share the plight of the poor and let them know someone cared.

Dems, Obama, head into 2014 distant, determined 
Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 07:52 AM PST
FILE - In this Jan. 3, 2013, file photo, Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., right, participates in a mock swearing-in ceremony with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, for the 113th Congress in Washington. Cloistered in a tense, private Capitol Hill meeting for House Democrats this month, Eshoo had some advice for the aides to President Barack Obama who were trying, with questionable success, to assure the unhappy caucus present that the woeful web site for the president's signature health care law would soon be working. In fact, they pledged, by Nov. 30, the "vast majority" of Americans who try to buy policies on the "Obamacare" will succeed. Stop setting "red lines" that might be broken, Eshoo told the presidential aides, according to a person present who was not authorized to release the exchange. (AP Photo/ Evan Vucci, File)WASHINGTON (AP) — A month after emerging from a government shutdown at the top of their game, many Democrats in Congress newly worried about the party's re-election prospects are for the first time distancing themselves from President Barack Obama after the disastrous rollout of his health care overhaul.
