Offices ablaze after Egypt president expands power
Clashes between supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Morsi erupted across Egypt on Friday following the president’s decree to expand his power in a nation increasingly polarized by its troubled transition to democracy after last year’s revolution.
Offices of the Brotherhood Freedom and Justice political party were set ablaze in Alexandria and reportedly in other cities. Pro- and anti-Morsi demonstrators clashed in Cairo and in towns across southern Egypt.
The unrest highlighted the anger that arose after Morsi’s decision on Thursday to free himself from judicial oversight. With no new constitution or parliament, the president holds wide executive and legislative powers.
“Morsi is ignorant, he will burn down the country,” protesters chanted in Cairo.
Police fired tear gas at rock-throwing youths near Tahrir Square, where tens of thousands of protesters, led by Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei and other opposition leaders, gathered.

Obama’s Victory In Moscow: Time For Another Reset?
Barack Obama’s re-election has allowed many people in Moscow to sigh with relief: The Cold War really is over. And that is the most important take-away from the Russian capital after the 2012 presidential election in the United States.
The Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, had surprised everyone during the campaign by citing Russia as America’s No.1 geopolitical opponent. So his defeat means the Kremlin can stop worrying about such caveman-like announcements. Indeed, Russia can be assured that Romney, who is 65 years old, will not be running in the next U.S. elections.
Does Obama’s re-election mean that Moscow and Washington have a second chance at a reset? The answer is obvious: yes, of course. However, the fact that history is giving these two former foes a second chance does not necessarily mean that the opportunity won’t be wasted.
In the wake of the U.S. election, there is a wave a new expectations that every new term ushers in. It is a good time for the governments in both countries to work past their previous mistakes. Both administrations should figure out the reason why towards the end of the presidential elections in the United States the ‘reset’ with Russia morphed from a promising foreign relations project into the subject of increasing criticism and open derision from hawks in both Moscow and Washington.
It’s not possible to build something with your right hand and destroy it with your left. Moscow cannot declare its commitment to a strategic partnership with the United States while at the same time fanning the flames of anti-Americanism, which has returned recently in the Russian media and to the lips of Russian officials after a brief historical respite.
That should be the lesson for Moscow from Obama’s first term. It is not possible to build a serious partnership with someone whom you don’t trust or whom you are constantly flipping off behind his back.

Tensions Mount As Syria And Turkey Exchange Cross-Border Fire
SIX MORE YEARS
HUGO’S LAST STAND?
Turkey returned fire after Syrian mortar bombs landed in a field in southern Turkey on Saturday, the day after Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan warned Damascus that Turkey would not shy away from war if provoked.
It was the fourth day of Turkish retaliation for firing by Syrian forces that killed five Turkish civilians on Wednesday.
The exchanges are the most serious cross-border violence in Syria’s conflict, which began as a democracy uprising but has evolved into a civil war with sectarian overtones. They highlight how the crisis could destabilize the region.
NATO-member Turkey was once an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but turned against him after his violent response to an uprising in which more than 30,000 people have died, according to the United Nations.
Turkey has nearly 100,000 Syrian refugees in camps on its territory, has allowed rebel leaders sanctuary and has led calls for Assad to quit. Its armed forces are far larger than Syria’s.

In the spirit of indivisibility of security and solidarity deriving from the Washington Treaty, the Alliance continues to stand by Turkey and demands the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an Ally, and urges the Syrian regime to put an end to flagrant violations of international law.
Iranians Clash with Police as Their Currency Plummets
Riot police armed with batons and tear gas confronted money lenders and shopkeepers in Tehran today as worries about the failing rial have lead to anger and street protests.
The dramatic fall of the rial seems to be the first solid evidence that the strict oil sanctions placed on Iran because of their nuclear energy program are starting to have the desired effect. Their economy is on the verge of collapse and average citizens are beginning to lash out in anger at the government. Whether it’s a bump in the road, the prelude to another crackdown, or the start of a legitimate uprising is still unknown, but if the regime lets the economic situation continue to deteriorate, the risk of a major upheaval could become very real.

Armada of British naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strike
An armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program.
Battleships, aircraft carriers, minesweepers and submarines from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war.
Western leaders are convinced that Iran will retaliate to any attack by attempting to mine or blockade the shipping lane through which passes around 18 million barrels of oil every day, approximately 35 per cent of the world’s petroleum traded by sea.
A blockade would have a catastrophic effect on the fragile economies of Britain, Europe the United States and Japan, all of which rely heavily on oil and gas supplies from the Gulf.

Kim Jong-un is married – and may have a child
North Korea announces that Kim Jong-un is married, prompting speculation that her may have already become a father.
State media confirmed that a woman seen accompanying Mr Kim in a series of recently publicised appearances is his wife. A Seoul-based news agency named his her as Ri Sol-ju. The pair were photographed yesterday at a ceremony marking the completion of an amusement park on Rungna islet in Pyongyang.
Although North Korean media did not disclose any further information about Miss Ri, reports from Japan said the pair married in 2009 and that she gave birth to a child in 2010.
Miss Ri was born in Seishin, North Korea, and is a graduate of the Kim Il Sung University graduate school, according to Japan’s Mainichi Shimbun newspaper. She is described as 5ft 4 tall and 27 years of age.

Iraq attacks in Baghdad ‘kill 107’
The BBC’s Rami Ruhayem in Baghdad says some policemen were targeted in their homes
A wave of bomb attacks and shootings in Baghdad and north of the capital has killed at least 107 people, say security and medical officials.
Iraq deals with the aftermath of the attacks, questions arise about their timing and any link they might have to internal differences and regional developments.
But this kind of violence is not new to Iraq. It began just a few months after the US-led invasion and occupation of the country in 2003, and has never really stopped.
Since then, the country has been governed by an American civil administration, then by multiple Iraqi governments operating under US supervision.
Even after the US pulled out at the end of last year, the attacks continued, suggesting two constants – weakness on the part of Iraq’s security forces, and the perpetrators’ persistent ability to strike across the country.
