An agreement for Turkey to purchase S-400 surface-to-air missile systems from Russia may be signed this week, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday, according to Reuters. Speaking at a joint news conference with his Maltese counterpart Carmelo Abela, Cavusoglu said technical work would begin with Russia on setting up the S-400 systems. Last week, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also said the deal with Russia would be finalized this week.

GENEVA (Reuters) - U.N. Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura urged Russia on Wednesday to convince its ally the Syrian government of the need to clinch a peace deal to end the nearly seven-year-old war.
De Mistura, speaking on Swiss television station RTS, said failure to make peace quickly through United Nations mediation could lead to “a fragmentation of Syria”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin during a surprise visit on Monday to Russia’s Hmeymim air base in Syria, declared that the work of Russian forces was largely done in backing the Assad government against militants, following the defeat of “the most battle-hardened group of international terrorists.”
De Mistura, asked what signal Putin could give from his position of force, said: ”Convince the (Syrian) government that there is no time to lose.... You can think you win territory militarily but you have to win the peace.
“And to win the peace, you have to have the courage to push the government to accept that there has to be a new constitution and new elections, through the United Nations,” he said.
The nearly seven-year civil war in Syria has killed hundreds of thousands of people and driven more than 11 million from their homes. All previous diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict have ended in failure over the opposition’s demand that President Bashar al-Assad leave power and his refusal to go.
The Kremlin first launched air strikes in Syria in September 2015 in its biggest Middle East intervention in decades, turning the tide of the conflict in Assad’s favor.

Now that it regards that mission complete, Putin wants to help broker a peace deal and is keen to organize a special event in Russia - a Syrian Congress on National Dialogue - that Moscow hopes will bring together the Syrian government and opposition and try to hammer out a new constitution.
But De Mistura made clear that peace negotiations must be through the United Nations in Geneva, as mandated by the U.N. Security Council, adding: “Otherwise it is not worth it.... This is a complicated war, it is only in Geneva through the U.N.”
The U.N. envoy has conducted shuttle diplomacy between the Syrian government delegation led by chief negotiator Bashar al-Ja‘afari and a unified opposition delegation.
”The opposition told me clearly when they arrived here, and again yesterday and this morning too, that they are ready to meet the government right away to have a hard, difficult discussion.
“The government is not ready, it has said it is not ready to meet the opposition. That is regrettable but diplomacy has many means,” de Mistura said.
A senior Western diplomat said that the government delegation had failed to engage with de Mistura on a new constitution and elections during a round of negotiations due to end on Thursday.
“Clearly they did not have any intention to engage in this political process. And clearly they are not under sufficient pressure to do so,” the diplomat told Reuters. “The clear impression is the regime wants to avoid the U.N.-led political process at any cost.”

>Saudi king orders $19bn stimulus for private sector
Saudi King Salman on Thursday issued a decree allocating 72 billion riyals ($19.2 billion) in stimulus funds to support the kingdom’s private sector, AFP reports. The measure will boost the role of the private sector, as part of economic reforms to diversify the economy away from oil, following a slump in crude prices. The funds will be used to finance 16 initiatives, the largest of which earmarks $5.7 billion towards subsidized housing loans for citizens. According to the decree, $1.33 billion will be used as a first installment for a newly established exports promotion fund, that will eventually have capital of $8 billion.

>Israel closes Gaza border crossings in response to Palestinian rocket strikes
Israel announced the closure of its Gaza border crossings on Thursday, in response to daily rocket fire from the enclave during the past week. The strikes began after US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Israeli aircraft struck three facilities belonging to Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, before dawn on Thursday, after the latest rocket attacks, Reuters reported, citing Israeli Defense Forces. Training camps and weapons storage compounds were targeted, it said. Two of the rockets fired by militants were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system and a third exploded in an open area. No casualties on either side of the frontier were reported.

Turkey’s coastguard has launched a rescue operation to evacuate migrants stranded on rocks in the Aegean Sea, AP reports. At least 68 migrants, from the western Turkish province of Izmir, were attempting to illegally cross to Greece in a rubber dinghy, and authorities intervened after receiving an emergency call, Anadolu has reported. Two helicopters and a boat were involved in the operation. A helicopter was seen on a video winching a person off the rocks. The migrants’ nationalities are unknown. More than 3.3 million Syrians live in Turkey and, in 2015, more than 857,000 migrants reached Greece from there.

PARIS (Reuters) - A Saudi-backed Islamic military coalition will provide logistical, intelligence and training to a new West African counter-terrorism force that is struggling to get off the ground, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said.
The announcement by Adel al-Jubeir signals the involvement in the Sahel of a Muslim military alliance widely seen as a vehicle for countering the growing influence of Riyadh’s rival Iran.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday agreed to provide about $150 million to the G5 Sahel force, which is composed of the armies of Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso and Chad, a sign that Gulf Arab states are upping their influence in the region.
The Sunni Muslim kingdom is seeking to check the ambitions of Shi‘ite power Iran to expand its clout in West Africa and across the Muslim world.
Speaking in an interview with France 24 television, Adel al-Jubeir said his country’s contribution would go much further by using the platform of the recently-established Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition to support the G5 Sahel.
“Because of our commitment to fighting terrorism and extremism we made the commitment to provide 100 million euros to these forces and we made this commitment also to provide logistics, training, intelligence and air support through the Islamic military coalition to this effort,” Jubeir said.
Some 40 Muslim-majority nations met in Riyadh at the end of November to begin fleshing it out details of the alliance first conceived two years by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but that until now has yet to take any decisive international action in its mandate to fight terrorism.
The crown prince has said he would encourage a more moderate and tolerant version of Islam in the ultra-conservative kingdom and wants the coalition, which will have a permanent base in Riyadh, to help combat terrorist financing and ideology.

GROWING UNREST
“We will be hosting a meeting of this new group to coordinate this military support to those (G5) countries,” Jubeir said, referring to a meeting the Islamic Alliance, adding that Riyadh would also provide humanitarian assistance.
The G5 Sahel launched a symbolic military operation to mark its creation in October amid growing unrest in the Sahel, whose porous borders are regularly crossed by jihadists, including affiliates of al Qaeda and Islamic State.
However, France, which has 4,500 troops in the region, has been dismayed to see the militants score military and symbolic victories in West Africa while the G5 force has struggled to win financing and become operational.
After a meeting in Paris on Wednesday, the French and Malian leaders said they hoped the G5 would secure its first victories by the middle of 2018 to prove its worth and ensure more concrete support from the United Nations.
In Rome, a defense ministry official said Italy will send several hundred troops to Niger, a member of the G5 Sahel, next year to help train local forces battling jihadi militants.
>CONT....
Benjamin Cox
Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni signaled the initiative on Wednesday, telling the G5 meeting in France that Italy would divert some of its forces in Iraq to Niger, a country that straddles an expanse of the Sahara desert.
“Niger has requested help with training men involved in border controls and we will certainly be setting up a mission there,” the defense ministry official said, declining to be named.
The official declined to confirm a report in la Repubblica newspaper that some 470 men would be sent to Niger to help with both training and surveillance, saying full details of the operation had not yet been finalised.
Despite agreement on principles, members of the Saudi-backed alliance have voiced different priorities slowing its implementation.
Critics say the coalition could become a means for Saudi Arabia to implement an even more assertive foreign policy by winning the backing of poorer African and Asian nations with offers of financial and military aid.

UNITED NATIONS, October 31. /TASS/. Moscow has begun to assist the law enforcement agencies of the Sahel countries, that have recently formed joint military forces to counter terrorism and organized crime, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said at the UN Security Council’s meeting. According to the Russian diplomat, Moscow welcomes the establishment of a special counter-terrorism force of the Group of Five Sahel States (G5 Sahel, consisting of Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Mali, Niger and Chad), which has been approved by a UN Security Council Resolution. "We believe that this is an appropriate response to the regional challenges based on the ‘African solutions to the African problems’ principle. We are confident that this is the only way to ensure sustainable peace in Africa," the Russian permanent representative stressed. Nebenzya also said that "in the era of globalization, terrorism has gone global," and the threat "can only be eliminated through the establishment of a broad front, which is what Russia has been calling for." "Besides, our country has begun to assist the law enforcement agencies of the Sahel countries, and we intend to continue such cooperation because building the capacities of national armed forces is important for enhancing the effectiveness of the G5 Sahel joint forces," the Russian UN ambassador pointed out. He went on to say that Moscow "is concerned over the situation in the Sahara and Sahel region," which had been facing the threat of terrorism. According to Nebenzya, "transnational issues, which particularly include drug and arms trafficking, separatist tendencies, conflicts, as well as humanitarian, social and economic difficulties, further destabilize the situation." Russia’s permanent representative to the UN added that the NATO-backed toppling of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in Libya had catalyzed instability in the region.

Ayden Rodriguez
The UN Security Council’s ministerial meeting on the situation in the Sahel region was initiated by France. Participants discussed the regional countries’ efforts to fight terrorism and organized crime. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres earlier presented a report containing recommendations concerning the organization’s possible support for the G5 Sahel joint forces. His proposals include providing logistics support to the forces, reconfigurating the UN peacekeeping mission in Mali and its participation in the Sahel countries’ activities. According to Nebenzya, Russia considers it "reasonable to mull over the possibility to gradually increase the UN assistance," starting by the implementation of the latter option.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State threatened attacks on U.S. soil in retaliation for the Trump administration’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, one of the group’s social media accounts reported on Thursday without giving any details.
In a message on one of its accounts on the Telegram instant messaging service titled “Wait for us” and “ISIS in Manhattan”, the group said it would carry out operations and showed images of New York’s Times Square and what appeared to be an explosive bomb belt and detonator.
“We will do more ops in your land, until the final hour and we will burn you with the flames of war which you started in Iraq, Yemen, Libya and Syria and Afghan. Just you wait,” it said.
“The recognition of your dog ‘Trump’ (sic) Jerusalem as the capital of Israel will make us recognize explosives as the capital of your country.”
Washington triggered widespread anger and protests across the Arab world with its decision on Jerusalem. The disputed city is revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, and is home to Islam’s third holiest site. It has been at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades.
Islamic State was driven out of its Iraqi and Syrian capitals this year and squeezed into a shrinking pocket of desert straddling the border between the two countries.
The forces fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria now expect a new phase of guerrilla warfare there. Militants including people claiming allegiance to Islamic State have carried out scores of deadly attacks in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the United States over the past two years.

Recognising Israel is giving it legitimacy as a jewish state, this is the worst possible scenario.

North Korea: US President Donald Trump is taking an "extremely dangerous" and "big step" towards nuclear war by seeking a naval blockade, North Korea has stated, according to the official KCNA news agency. Pyonyang also said it will take "merciless self-defensive" measures against any blockade, as it would consider such a move an "act of war." The North Korean government also believes any blockade would be a "wanton violation" of its sovereignty and dignity, KCNA reported
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson previously mentioned the "right to interdict maritime traffic transporting goods" to and from the North.Earlier on Thursday, Russia's President Vladimir Putin warned that North Korea now finds itself in a position where it "doesn't see any other way for self-protection rather than developing weapons of mass destruction and missile technologies."
