3826-ARE WE NOW IN THE END TIMES? | View Thread

PARIS – Hundreds of Jews demonstrated outside the Israeli Embassy here Sunday against the Paris peace summit being held about four kilometers away at the French Foreign Ministry.

“We are here today to express our objection to the Paris Middle East Conference, which we consider as an anti-Israeli tribunal, similar to the negative decisions adopted by UNESCO and the UNSC,” Francis Kalifat, president of the French Jewish umbrella organization CRIF, told The Jerusalem Post.

French Jews, Kalifat said, are disappointed by the French leadership, which refuses to accept the fact that true peace should and could be achieved only through direct negotiations.

“France must realize that one cannot make statements and take such decisions five days before a new administration takes office in the US,” he said.

Jean B., 25, who attended the rally, said: “We are here today to tell our president that Israel has already reached out to the Palestinians in peace. The Palestinians are trying to internationalize the conflict instead of accepting Israel’s hand and opening unconditional talks.”

Israeli Ambassador to France Aliza Bin Noun said at the rally that “France has condemned the terrible attack in Jerusalem, and screened the flag of Israel on the façade of city hall, demonstrating that we share the same values of peace, democracy, solidarity and mutual respect. Yet, France continued with its initiative and the conference convened today [Sunday] – a peace-pretending conference.”

Bin Noun recalled that peace agreements between Israel and Jordan and Egypt were both reached through direct negotiations, and not within international forums.

Elisabeth, a student at the Sorbonne, told the Post: “We are hoping our leaders will hear our outcry and listen to it. I know that France wants to advance peace, but they are going about it the wrong way.”

Recent storms have challenged Northern California's five-year drought, but Mother Nature has wreaked havoc on roads and property.

The doors were shuttered on Wednesday and Thursday at Liberty Motors, where a huge sinkhole opened near the parking lot behind the dealership and its former building next door, which was recently sold to Tripp's Auto Body. Liberty Motors and Tripp's resides on top of a culvert that failed. The culvert is a tributary to Little Wolf Creek.

While it hasn't been established for certain that weather is to blame, it also isn't the first to open this week. A sinkhole about 15 feet in diameter opened underneath The Stonehouse in Nevada City on Tuesday.

"The exact cause is something we're still trying to determine, but due to it failing, it's created a sinkhole about 80 to 100 feet deep, probably 60-by-50 at the top, so it's a fairly big hole at this point in time," said Tim Kiser, the public works director for the City of Grass Valley.

"At this time, we're trying to secure the site and remove a couple of trees that are in the hole, and then formulate a plan on what we'll do from there. Right now safety is No. 1; keeping this area safe and preventing any further damage."

Construction workers were busy inside Tripp's working on a remodel co-owner Todd Tripp hopes to have completed in the next month, but the sinkhole has caused minor delays. Lou Freschi Construction, which is handling the remodel, stopped its work on Wednesday to move the Liberty trailer, which sat precariously close to the sinkhole. The trailer houses Liberty's offices. "Lou Freschi was amazing," Tripp said. "He called in all his guys immediately to get that trailer moved as soon as possible. It was pretty impressive."

Tripp's also been impressed with the city's response. "The city's been remarkable in how quickly they stepped up and had people out there taking care of it," he said. "I was pretty amazed."

Tripp said the sinkhole is affecting the parking lot, which has cracks that are moving. "Just today, one of the city engineers told me (a crack) has moved about a half inch," he said.

Described as the 'most diverse dating show to hit Australian screens', the series features a diverse range of couples, including same-sex people and diverse singles.

SBS director of television and online content Marshall Heald said the controversial show - that has already been a hit in Italy - was about 'fun and mischievous'.

Screen time executive producer Jennifer Collins said what she loved most about the series was 'it's as equally smart as it is funny and as honest as it is bold and daring.

'Undressed is sure to resonate with and enthrall a broad spectrum of Australia, especially when it comes time to decide. Yes? or No? You will be surprised!' she said.

Wife of Pulse Nightclub Gunman Omar Mateen Arrested in San Francisco

By AARON KATERSKY and EMILY SHAPIRO11 hours agoGood Morning America

The wife of the gunman who carried out a mass shooting an Orlando, Florida, nightclub was arrested by the FBI today in San Francisco, the FBI and her lawyer said.

Gunman Omar Mateen's wife, Noor Salman, was charged with obstruction of justice and with aiding and abetting Mateen's attempted provision and provision of material support to ISIL, the U.S. Attorney’s office said, referring to the terror group also known as ISIS.

Salman's lawyer, Linda Moreno, said in a statement to ABC News, "Noor Salman had no foreknowledge nor could she predict what Omar Mateen intended to do that tragic night. Noor has told her story of abuse at his hands. We believe it is misguided and wrong to prosecute her and that it dishonors the memories of the victims to punish an innocent person."

Salman is expected to appear in court on Tuesday for a first appearance, her lawyer said. She is expected to be extradited to Florida, where she was indicted.

Mateen was killed in a police shootout after he carried out the June 12 mass shooting at Pulse nightclub that killed 49 people.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina was glad to learn Salman was arrested, he said in a statement today.

"Federal authorities have been working tirelessly on this case for more than seven months, and we are grateful that they have seen to it that some measure of justice will be served in this act of terror that has affected our community so deeply," Mina said. "Nothing can erase the pain we all feel about the senseless and brutal murders of 49 of our neighbors, friends, family members and loved ones. But today, there is some relief in knowing that someone will be held accountable for that horrific crime."

ABC News' Josh Margolin contributed to this report.
