ISIL militants launch counter-offensive and re-enter Kobani





The self-styled Islamic State group has re-entered the key Syrian Kurdish border town of Kobani, five months after they were driven out.The assault began overnight with a series of bomb blasts, after which ISIL militants drove around the streets killing the civilians, according to local media reports. After a string of defeats the extremist group has gone on the counter offensive and was also reported to have seized parts of the northeastern city of Hasaka.As Turkish hospitals deal with the scores of wounded civilians, questions are being asked as to how the militants managed to enter the town. The Syrian State TV said they had entered from Turkey, a charge denied by Ankara. Other reports suggest they disguised themselves as refugees or Kurdish fighters.More than 30,000 people had returned to Kobani when ISIL was driven out in January in a what was hailed as a victory for the Kurdish fighters aided by the US coalition after months of fierce fighting.

AMERICA - Supreme Court upholds Obamacare

The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide availability of tax subsidies crucial to the White House’s health care program, handing a major victory to President Obama. Six judges affirmed the verdict of a lower court in King v. Burwell, with three dissenting.
Conservative plaintiffs challenged the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, arguing that federal tax subsidies envisioned by the law, as written, only applied to health exchanges “established by the state.”
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy, both regarded as conservative, joined the court’s liberal judges Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer and, Sotomayor in backing the government’s position. Although the challengers' arguments about the plain meaning of the statute were “strong,” Roberts wrote in the majority opinion, the “context and structure of the act compel us to depart from what would otherwise be the most natural reading of the pertinent statutory phrase."
Only thirteen states have set up their own health care exchanges since 2010. Three other states have hybrid exchanges with the federal government, leaving with 6.4 million Americans in 34 states dependent on federal-run exchanges. They allow low and middle income people to buy private health insurances. The King v. Burwell challenge sought to declare those subsidies illegal, since the exchanges were not “established by the state”.

Tra il 2002 e il 2008 i vertici militari colombiani sono stati responsabili dell’uccisione sistematica di almeno 3000 civili, fatti passare per guerriglieri delle Farc caduti in combattimento.E quanto scrive l’Ong Human Rights Watch in un rapporto di 105 pagine presentato alla stampa a Bogotà.“Gli ufficiali in servizio al tempo delle esecuzioni extragiudiziali hanno fatto in modo di sottrarsi alla giustizia, riuscendo perfino a scalare gli alti comandi. E questo comprende anche gli attuali comandi delle forze armate”.Sui fatti denunciati dal dossier indaga la procura della capitale, che ha già interrogato quattro alti ufficiali, causando la reazione del presidente Santos.“Non esiste una sola indagine e nemmeno un solo accertamento su questi alti ufficiali. Non si dovrebbe puntare il dito contro qualcuno, causare enormi danni senza alcun motivo documentato. Non è questo il modo di controllare il rispetto dei diritti umani”.
Nel rapporto, realizzato grazie a numerose dichiarazioni di testimoni, familiari delle vittime e avvocati, sono citati due generali molto noti. I due hanno comandato delle brigate responsabili di almeno 76 esecuzioni extragiudiziali.

Pakistan heat wave death toll tops 800





Wind from the sea and pre-monsoon rains cooled southern Pakistan on Wednesday, likely marking the end of a scorching heat wave that killed at least 838 people, authorities said.Temperatures in hard-hit Karachi dropped to 34 C, meteorologist Abdur Rasheed said. Hospital officials said admittances had dropped compared to previous days, when dehydrated patients lay in corridors and outside of clinics.
The port city has been in the grip of a heat wave called the worst in at least a decade, with temperatures reaching 45 C. The hours long power outages, little running water and the majority of people fasting for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan had worsened the situation.Karachi, home to some 20 million people, suffers under an inefficient power grid and a shortage of potable water. The power outages also affected the sporadic water supply in Karachi, where those who can afford it rely on tankers of water being delivered to their homes.
