Despite pleas, sanct mizuno running ions, international condemnation and even a recent U.S. airstrike, the international community has been unable to stop the use of chemical weapons against civilians in Syria. During a meeting at the U.N. Wednesday, Ambassador Nikki Haley was clear where the U.S. places the blame. The Assad regime continued using chemical weapons against the Syrian people, she said. One member of this council shielded the Assad regime from any consequences, and then blocked us from renewing the Joint Investigative Mechanism JIM . Our consensus broke down. After the attack, aUN-OPCW reportconcluded that the leadership panel is confident that the Syrian Arab Republic is responsible for the release of sarin at Khan Shaykhun. The frustration at the council, particularly in light of the poisoning attack in Britain, took a new turn: accountability for the attacks. The OPCW-United Nations JIM was created for this purpose, but regrettably, its ma air max ndate was not renewed, Thomas Markram, director and deputy to the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, told the council while referring to the veto by Russia. While allegations of the use of chemical weapons have not stopped, consideration of a mechanism for accountability adidas sambarose has apparently slowed, if not come to a standstill. The Secretary-General and the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs have repeatedly underlined the need to avoid impunity to ensure that those responsible for the use of chemical weapons are identifie Ksrz U.S.-backed fighters begin offensive on edge of ISIS capital

He dreamed of reunion with Orthodox Christians. And there s another Pope Benedict who was seen as a peacemaker. Pope Benedict XI served in the 14th century as political issues were building tension in the church.One other aspect of the name may be appealing to the new Pope Benedict. He is known as a scholar, just like Pope Benedict XIV and Pope Benedict XI before him. He wrote a lot of his doctoral work on theology of history, George told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith. There is a keen sense at this time historical challenges to civilization and to the Catholic Church, particularly in the west.

When the FBI showed up at Don Miller s home in rural Indiana in 2014 to seize p adidas samba art of his vast personal collection of artifacts, it was a shock for people who knew him. He was very beloved. He was very charismatic, former local reporter Liz Dykes said. Dykes interviewed the 90-year-old former engineer about his time in World War II, his missionary work in Haiti, and most of all, his huge collection of artifacts from around the world. The entire house is a museum. There are things everywhere, Dykes recounted. It was just mind-blowing. Miller willingly showed his collection to reporters, residents, and even local Boy Scout troops, so when the FBI came calling, she said, I wanted to know what they were looking for... There had to have been something. There was: something the FBI hasn t talked aboutmdash;until now. When I fi chanclas yeezy rst went into his house and saw the size of the collection, it was unlike anything we d ever seen, Tim Carpenter, who heads the FBI s art crime unit, told CBS News correspondent Anna Werner.

Stonehenge, the famous stone circle in southern England, has confused historians for centuries, but researchers on Wednesday revealed new and unexpected information about the monument s six-ton Altar Stone.It was long believed that the stone, which sits in the middle of the iconic circle, came from Wales, but new research suggests it actually came from hundreds of miles away in Scotland, raising new questions about transportation methods from 5,000 years ago. A geological study of the Altar Stone shows it likely came from Orcadian Basin, Scotland, at least 466 miles from Stonehenge, researchers said in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Our discovery of the Altar Stone s origins highlights a significant level of societal coor adidas yeezy dination during t nike dunk low he Neolithic period and helps paint a fascinat adidas campus donna ing picture of prehistoric Britain, study co-author and Curtin University professor Chris Kirkland said in a news release. Transporting such massive cargo overland from Scotland to southern England would have been extremely challenging, indicating a likely marine shipping route along the coast of Britain. Stonehenge is largely comprised of two categories of stones: sarsen and bluestone. The largesarsen stones primarily came from an area about 16 miles north of the monument. The Altar Stone is considered a bluestone. Previous studies have found that Stonehenge s bluestones largely came from Wales. The Altar Stone at Stonehenge.
