President Obama has backed plans to isolate soldiers returning in large numbers from Ebola-hit countries. The US president said that American military personnel were in a “different situation” compared with healthcare workers. While civilians may be discouraged from volunteering to help fight the Ebola if they are facing quarantine on their return, troops were sent as part of their mission and could expect such inconveniences. The differences in approach played into a fierce debate in the United States over how best to treat Americans who may have come into contact with the disease when they came home from one of the three West African countries hit by Ebola: Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea. The Pentagon said on Monday that Major General Darryl Williams, commander of US Army Africa, and 11 of his staff were put in isolation for 21 days of monitoring after returning from West Africa to their home base in Vicenza in northeastern Italy. Washington has been seeking to dissuade US states from imposing quarantines on health workers, who are fewer in number, arguing that they can be monitored instead. “We don’t want to discourage our health care workers from going to the front lines and dealing with this in an effective way. Our medical teams here are getting better and better prepared and trained for the possibility of an isolated Ebola case here in the United States,” Obama said. The president is due to speak again about Ebola on Wednesday. The second of two nurses infected while treating America’s first Ebola patient has been released from hospital. Amber Vinson, 29, has flown home to Dallas from Atlanta. She was declared free of the virus last Friday but spent several more days in hospital before being discharged. “While this is a day for celebration and gratitude, I ask that we not lose focus on the thousands of families who continue to labour under the burden of this disease in West Africa,” she told a news conference. The US ambassador to the United Nations, visiting Liberia, has praised West African countries and international donors for their response to the outbreak. Samantha Power said the best way to prevent Ebola from spreading was to “tackle the problem at its source”. Less

The United States is creating false intelligence in the Baltic region in order to show that Russia would increase its military actions in the area, says political analyst Joaquin Flores. Flores made the remarks in an interview with Press TV Monday when asked about US arms shipment to the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to provide them with the ability to “deter” the perceived threat from Russia. The weapons, which were delivered to the port of Riga, the capital of Latvia on Monday, include Abrams tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and Scout Humvees as well as support equipment. “One thing we clearly see from this is that the US is doing everything possible to break the Minsk truce agreement,” said Flores, who is the director and an analyst at Center for Syncretic Studies. On February 12, leaders of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France agreed in the Belorussian capital of Minsk to stop the fighting in east Ukraine and to start the withdrawal of heavy weaponry from the front lines. “The US is quite upset that European leaders broke ranks with NATO and the US over this,” Flores stated, adding “it is not forecasted that the US will be able to undo this agreement immediately at least not very easily.” He said the US is trying to achieve two goals by sending arms to the region. “We can see that these armament shipments are really conforming to two plans.” “One is to inspire arms sales and arms shipment” in the area to benefit US armaments industries, he said, adding “the second piece of this is to scare Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish leaders into thinking that there is something happening that is not. They’re creating false intelligence reports which indicate that a Russian increase in military actions are imminent and they’re not.” US Major General John R. O'Connor told AFP Monday that the arrival of these weapons will "demonstrate resolve to President (Vladimir) Putin and Russia that collectively we can come together". The weapon transfer comes amid tensions between the US and Russia over the Ukrainian crisis. Western governments accuse Russia of destabilizing Ukraine by supporting pro-Russian forces there, an allegation Moscow has repeatedly denied.

Washington is coming under increasing criticism over its strategy towards the self-proclaimed Islamic State. A senior Iranian military official has said the US and other powers are failing to confront the jihadists, and that only Iran was present in the fight. The general in charge of Iran’s paramilitary activities in the Middle East said only Iran was committed to the task, a news agency on Monday reported. Major General Qassem Soleimani, commander of the elite Quds Force responsible for protecting the Islamic Republic’s interests abroad, has become a familiar face on the battlefields of Iraq, where he often outranks local commanders. “Obama has not done a damn thing so far to confront Daesh: doesn’t that show that there is no will in America to confront it?” Mehr news agency quoted Soleimani as saying, using a derogatory Arabic term for the Islamic State organisation. At home too, US policy on ISIL’s grip in Iraq and Syria has come under attack, notably from a former presidential challenger and senior Senator. “There is no strategy. And anybody that says that there is, I’d like to hear what it is, because it certainly isn’t apparent now and…. right now we are seeing these horrible, reports are now in Palmyra, they’re executing people and leaving their bodies in the streets. Meanwhile, the President of the United States is saying the biggest enemy we have is climate change,” said John McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Forces Committee. The United States and its allies carried out 10 air strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria and 25 strikes in Iraq since Sunday, the US military said on Monday. An amateur video posted to the internet on Monday purported to show damaged buildings in Palmyra caused by aerial strikes by the Syrian air force. But the effectiveness of air strikes against ISIL has been called into question. ISIL fighters defeated Syrian government forces to capture Palmyra last week, home to 50,000 people and site of some of the world’s most extensive and best-preserved Roman ruins. Days earlier, ISIL forces had taken the Iraqi city Ramadi. The US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has accused Iraqi forces of lacking the will to fight to defend the city. Baghdad says it is preparing for a counter-offensive against ISIL. Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias which have played a key role elsewhere have been sent to the area. Less

Since the end of September Russia has carried out daily strikes against targets in Syria that it considers to be terrorists. Euronews correspondant Denis Loctier is embedded with the Russian air force in Latakia: “Euronews got access onto the Russian airbase in Latakia on Syria’s Mediterranean coast. All the Russian military planes in Syria take off from here, making more than 40 sorties each day. The officials claim that in the past six weeks these planes have destroyed more than 2500 objects of what they call terrorist infrastructure on Syrian soil,” he reports. Russian warplanes in Syria act as air support for ground offensives by the Syrian army and foreign Shiite militias. The Russians say they are now also cooperating with elements of the Syrian opposition which provides some intelligence. This, according to Major General Igor Konashenkov, allowed Islamist militants in several key provinces to be pushed back in the last two days, breaking the two-year blockade of the Kweires airbase by ISIS. “The Russian aviation hit targets near Aleppo and around the Kweires airbase using the intelligence provided by the Syrian opposition, and confirmed at the Intelligence centre in Baghdad by our partners from Iran, Iraq and Syria,” said Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov. The Hmeymim airbase near Latakia has several dozen Russian warplanes, including supersonic bombers and fighters, as well as reconnaissance drones, attack helicopters and anti-aircraft defence. The exact quantities of military equipment and personnel remain top secret. The base receives all its supplies, including food, from Russia. “All our planes based in Hmeymim and taking part in the battles are equipped with the most modern targeting systems. This allows targeting terrorist infrastructure precisely from an altitude of over 5000 metres,” claims Konashenkov. Despite several setbacks in the last few days, Islamist militants retain their grasp over large parts of Syria and occasionally pass onto the offensive, while the forces loyal to president Assad are struggling to defend and expand their zone of control. According to the Russian military, the Islamists are now changing their tactics in reaction to the bombing campaign, better concealing their relocations better and constantly modifying routes for arms and ammunition supply, which may indicate they are weakening. “Russian command says these attack aircraft will keep striking targets as long as necessary – but with no evident change on the ground, the efficacy of Russian involvement in the Syrian conflict remains questionable,” concludes Denis Loctier.

This is the moment the most notorious alleged gangland mobsters Zakhariy Kalashov, is arrested with his army of bodyguards and a cache of weapons at his luxury Moscow mansion. Zakhariy Kalashov, nicknamed 'gangland Lord' because of his underworld notoriety, was snared by a Federal Security Service (FSB) raid on his sprawling 20million $ estate - where police discovered a stash of weapons including handguns and grenades. The alleged mob boss was filmed in his kitchen accusing law enforcement officers of putting on a 'show'. Meanwhile, his bodyguards were forced to lie face down on the ground outside the house during the FSB raid. 'I will say nothing to the camera,' insisted the 66-year-old as he sat surrounded by officers in his kitchen. He continued his stubborn silence when asked by agents whether or not he was a mafia boss.'Take away the camera and I will talk to you,' he said. 'Is it a show here?' An agent assured him: 'It is not a show. We are not gangsters... It is an official procedure.' The arrest follows a December 2015 shoot-out in a Moscow restaurant, in which two were killed. He is accused of extortion linked to the violence. Kalashov, also known as Shakro the Young has up to 23 different pseudonyms. He became widely regarded as the new leader of the Russian underworld after the 2013 sniper shooting of then-mafia king Aslan Usoyan. There are claims Kalashov has close ties to senior figures in the Interior Ministry and police, and that the FSB action is part of a battle for supremacy among President Putin's warring law enforcement services. The arrest follows a chain of raids on mafia operations in Russia. Major General Denis Nikandrov, deputy head of the 'Russian FBI', was suspected of promising to to free Kalashov free Shakro for a bribe of 760,000 $. Two other key law enforcement officials have also been detained, including Mikhail Maksimenko, head of the committee's internal security division. It is claimed he ordered aides to 'forget' to re-arrest Kalashov. Maksimenko and his deputy Alexander Lamonov are being probed 'for exceeding their authority and for receiving bribes from the criminal community'. A lawyer for Mr Lamonov said that the detained men denied doing anything wrong. Kalashov was previously jailed for eight years in Spain for money laundering and masterminding criminal organisations. This followed an operation called Red Marble against ex-Soviet criminal gangs operating in the country. On his return from Spain in 2014, he was allegedly met by senior Russian law enforcement officials at Domodedovo airport in Moscow, followed by talks. 'Immediately after the meeting, Kalashov went home and celebrations began to mark the return of the "godfather",' reported one account. According to Ukrainian website Glavred, Kalashov 'is not just a general but a generalissimo, a real Lord of the gangland' - with a mafia empire that even allegedly includes senior law enforcement officials. He has also been sentenced in absentia to 18 years in prison for murder in ex-Soviet republic Georgia - with the capital Tbilisi calling for his extradition. Less
