I don't always have sympathy to these residents. As per my knowledge, some of them treat this reconstruction case as an once in the life time chance to make a fortune. Sometimes the price they ask is 5 to 10 times higher than the market price.
So, force is one option. Not the best option, but one option.

I like watching these videos from this channel they give me and you a good foundation of understanding.
What is the most important thing in life? Money? Happiness? Love? Those things are certainly important, but what matters most is good values. What are values? They are what we consider more important than our feelings. For instance, just about everyone feels like eating junk food, but if you eat whatever you feel like eating you will end up obese and unhealthy. So then, what stops people from eating all the food they feel like eating? The answer is good values. Indeed a lack of good values is the root of virtually everything wrong with the world. In five minutes, learn why we should act based on values rather than our feelings.

No one got so much as a paper-cut as the Iraqi solders could not bring themselves to fire on other Iraqis to prop up the corrupt US imposed Government ruling Iraq.
I expect the Iraqi Parliament will reconvene and appoint an Iranian-leaning Government and all of the US troops defending the ISIS from the Iraqi people will be forced to exit the country. Once the troops no longer are asked to fight to defend the US puppets, and have a Government who's content and agenda is no longer influenced by outside forces, then the Iraqi Army will fight and win against the proxy ISIS forces.

Hundreds of demonstrators in Iraq stormed and are now occupying the country's parliament.
Iraqi officials declared a state of emergency in Baghdad on Saturday after protesters loyal to popular Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr breached the heavily fortified Green Zone which houses government buildings and foreign embassies, including the American one.
Video from inside the building showed jubilant crowds waving Iraqi flags and shouting "peaceful, peaceful" and there were no immediate reports of major violence.
Zero Hedge reports:
Less than two years ago, the US set up another puppet government in the mid-east this time in the state of Iraq when following substantial US pressure, on August 14, 2014 then prime minister al-Maliki agreed to stepped down and be replaced with Haider al-Abadi. Today, the regime is in chaos and the system set up in Iraq by the US is collapsing when protesters loyal to popular Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr breached the heavily fortified Green Zone, home to government buildings and foreign embassies, and stormed the Iraqi parliament forcing MPs to flee and unleashing a state of emergency for all of Baghdad.
As can be seen in the photo, hundreds of demonstrators occupied the country's parliament. Video from inside the building showed jubilant crowds waving Iraqi flags and shouting "peaceful, peaceful." Supporters of Sadr, whose fighters once controlled swaths of Baghdad and helped defend the capital from ISIS, have been demonstrating for weeks at the gates of the Green Zone, responding to their leader's call to pressure the government to reform.
Iraq
Cited by NBC, Brig. Gen. Saad Mann, a spokesman for the Iraqi military, said that Iraq security authorities have declared a state of emergency in Baghdad. "All gates that lead to Baghdad are closed. No one is allowed to enter into Baghdad, only those who want to leave Baghdad can do so." "There is no evacuation for the American staff inside the American embassy," he said. A U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the American Embassy in Baghdad was not being evacuated, contrary to local reports. We expect that should the pro-US government fall, this will promptly change.
Security forces responsible for guarding the entrance to the area were not able to stop the demonstrators without opening fire so they let them in, the security source told NBC News. As a result, the protest is mostly peaceful for now even thought Saturday was the first time the protesters breached the compound's walls.
According to Reuters, the protesters, who had gathered outside the heavily fortified district housing government buildings and many foreign embassies, crossed a bridge over the Tigris River chanting: "The cowards ran away!" in apparent reference to departing lawmakers.
There were no reports of clashes with security forces. But an army special forces unit was dispatched with armored vehicles to protect sensitive sites, two security officials said. No curfew has been imposed, they said.
Moments before the Green Zone breach, Sadr seemed to offer an ultimatum: "Either corrupt (officials) and quotas remain or the entire government will be brought down and no one will be exempt from that." In a televised speech from the holy city of Najaf announcing a two-month withdrawal from public life, Sadr said he was "waiting for the great popular uprising and the major revolution to stop the march of the corrupt."
Abadi has warned that delays to overhauling the cabinet could hamper the war against Islamic State, which controls vast swathes of northern and western Iraq. Considering the massive boost in US "troops on the ground" in Iraq in recent months, surely the US can take care of this perpetual "scapegoat" on its own.
Inside parliament hundreds of protesters danced, waved Iraqi flags and chanted pro-Sadr slogans. Some appeared to be breaking furniture. Local television showed them chanting and taking pictures of themselves inside the main chamber where moments earlier lawmakers had met.
Iraq -Inside parliament
Parliament failed to reach quorum on Saturday afternoon to complete voting on a cabinet reshuffle first urged by Abadi in February. A handful of ministers were approved on Tuesday despite disruptions by dissenting lawmakers.
Political parties have resisted Abadi's efforts to replace some ministers - chosen to balance Iraq's divisions along party, ethnic and sectarian lines - with technocrats in a bid to combat corruption.

The Latest on anti-government protests in Iraq (all times local):
8:30 p.m.
Iraq's prime minister says the situation is under control after thousands of anti-government protesters poured into Baghdad's Green Zone and stormed parliament.
Haider al-Abadi issued a statement saying "the situation in Baghdad is under the control of the security forces." He called on protesters to demonstrate peacefully without damaging the "property of state institutions."
Al-Abadi had been set to appear before parliament earlier Saturday to seek approval for the remainder of his Cabinet reshuffle, but the session was postponed until next week.
The news of the postponement broke just moments before protesters began to storm the Green Zone. The last time al-Abadi appeared before parliament, earlier this month, lawmakers hurled insults and called his leadership illegitimate.
___
6:40 p.m.
Iraqi security forces have fired tear gas on protesters at one of the entrances to the Green Zone as hundreds of supporters of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr continue to stream into the highly fortified government compound.
Associated Press reporters at the scene say thousands of protesters have entered the Green Zone since breaching the walls and storming parliament earlier on Saturday.
The heavily guarded area is home to most government ministries and foreign embassies.
The entry of the protesters marks a major escalation after months of demonstrations and sit-ins by al-Sadr's followers, who are calling for wide-ranging political reforms aimed at combatting corruption and waste.
___
6:15 p.m.
The U.N. mission to Iraq says it is "gravely concerned" after anti-government protesters breached the heavily-guarded Green Zone and stormed parliament.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) is headquartered in the Green Zone along with most government ministries and embassies.
After Saturday's breach, UNAMI issued a statement condemning violence against elected officials and urging "calm, restraint and respect for Iraq's constitutional institutions at this crucial juncture."
It says the U.N. mission "continues to operate from its headquarters in Baghdad's International Zone and is in constant contact with parties to facilitate a solution that meets the demands of the people for reform."
The protesters are supporters of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who has called for wide-ranging political reforms to combat the corruption and mismanagement that has bedeviled Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
5:30 p.m.
Iraq's elite counterterrorism forces, who have in the past been called on to reinforce security in the capital, say they are standing down for now after anti-government protesters breached the Green Zone.
Police and troops guarding the heavily-fortified zone, where most ministries and embassies are located, appeared to be taking no action after protesters breached the walls and stormed into parliament Saturday.
Sabah al-Numan, spokesman for the counterterrorism forces, says "we still view this as a demonstration" and "aren't taking any part in this as it's not something regarding terrorism."
He adds, however, that if the unrest escalates his forces may be forced to intervene to "protect the legitimacy of the government."
The protesters, who support Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, are demanding political reforms to combat corruption and mismanagement.

5:00 p.m.
Iraqi forces are tightening security in the capital after anti-government protesters breached the Green Zone and stormed parliament.
The Baghdad Operations Command says all traffic attempting to enter the capital through the city's main checkpoints was halted after the breach on Saturday, and additional police and military units have been deployed to the Green Zone, closing the checkpoints on the compound's outer perimeter and blocking internal roads.
The heavily-guarded Green Zone is home to most of Iraq's ministries and foreign embassies.
Supporters of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the Green Zone earlier on Saturday, marking a major escalation after months of demonstrations and sit-ins demanding political reforms to combat corruption and waste.
3:30 p.m.
Dozens of protesters have climbed over the blast walls surrounding Baghdad's highly-fortified Green Zone and could be seen storming into parliament, carrying Iraqi flags and chanting against the government.
After months of protests, sit-ins and demonstrations outside Baghdad's Green Zone - home to most ministries and foreign embassies - Saturday's escalation marks the first time protesters have breached the compound's walls.
Earlier Saturday, influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr accused Iraqi politicians of blocking efforts to implement political reform aimed at combating corruption and waste.
Increasingly tense protests and a series of failed reform measures have paralyzed Iraq's government as the country struggles to fight the Islamic State group and respond to an economic crisis sparked in part by a plunge in global oil prices.

The protesters rampaged through several parts of the building chanting slogans against the government. They demanded political and economic reforms to combat corruption. Local sources reported police fired bullets into the air and used tear gas trying to maintain order. Earlier in the day, influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr condemned the political deadlock and renewed his call for reforms in the cabinet of Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi.
Video footage released on Saturday, shows the Project 885 Severodvinsk, a Russian nuclear submarine from the Northern Fleet, striking a coastal target located in the Arkhangelsk Region, with a cruise missile fired from a submerged position in the Barents Sea.
The crew of the nuclear Yasen-class submarine launched the latest Kalibr cruise missile, known as the SS-N-27 Sizzler. According to a statement from the Russian Defence Ministry, the strike group conducted the firing drills and struck the target with high accuracy and precision.

Slavery is once more legal in the United States.
In this episode of The Truth Is Viral, host Bob Powell reveals language buried deep inside Executive Order 13603 which gives the Federal government the legal authority to force any person into de facto slavery. According to this Executive Order, the President, or those he designates, can conscript "persons of outstanding experience and ability without compensation," in "peacetime and times of national emergency." In a nutshell, that means that Barack Obama, and those he designates, can seize any resource, property, or person at any time for any reason, including forcing that person with labor without being paid. There is only ONE word for forced, "uncompensated employment." That word is slavery.

Shamokin, PA - Animal abuse charges were filed Friday against a teenager accused of using dogs to track and kill a pet cat in Shamokin this week, according to Police Chief Darwin Tobias III.
A juvenile petition was filed by Patrolman Bill Miner against a 17-year-old Shamokin boy, charged with two felony counts of cruelty to animals, Tobias said. The teen also is charged with misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.Tobias said the teen and an unidentified male accomplice used the dogs to hunt and maul the cat.
Miner and Tobias took the teen into custody at his home. He was turned over to Northumberland County Juvenile Probation and placed in a youth detention facility, Tobias said.The dogs haven't been located, Tobias said. Mark Rusinko, Northumberland County dog warden, and animal
humane officer Richard Wright are assisting police.
Graphic surveillance footage that captured the dog attack on Wednesday along Willow Street led police to the teen. The footage, shot from a homeowner's surveillance camera, showed the cat
scurrying along parked vehicles just east of Market Street. Two males walking the dogs on leashes side-by-side subsequently appeared in the footage. One pointed in the direction the cat was moving, and the males split up - walking on either side of the street.The males and animals disappeared from the footage before the animals re-emerged. The dogs, running free, chased the cat and cornered it on a front porch.Moments later, the males approached cautiously, with one walking onto the porch and grabbing a leash to pull the dog to the street. The other dog followed.
Both dogs continued to maul the cat as it was dragged to the sidewalk. The males were approached by a neighbor before they walked away with the leashed dogs, the cat left behind.
An investigation continues into the identity of the other male.

Published on Jul 16, 2014NASA marks the 45th anniversary of the first moon landing this month. The world watched in awe as astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set their lunar module Eagle down in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969, while crewmate Michael Collins orbited above in the command module Columbia.
This video, featuring comments from the late Apollo 11 astronaut and research pilot Neil Armstrong, explores the contributions of the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) development and flight-testing at NASA's Flight Research Center, recently renamed in Armstrong's honor, to the Apollo moon-landing program.
As we reflect on the accomplishments of the Apollo program, NASA is preparing to make the next giant leap to venture even further into space. The new Space Launch System and the Orion spacecraft will enable astronauts to capture an asteroid and bring it into orbit around the moon, thus enabling scientific investigations of the origins of our solar system. Just as we solved and trained how to land on the moon, we are driven to explore the cosmos, to make America's "next giant leap" to send astronauts to Mars.

Joe the Chimpanzee's Rescue
Joe was dumped by Hollywood animal trainer Steve Martin's Working Wildlife, which has provided animals for numerous projects, including CBS' Zoo, Pirates of the Caribbean and Water for Elephants. After joe grew and became too strong to control, Martin dumped Joe at The Mobile Zoo in Alabama where he was confined to a tiny, rusted cage, isolated and alone....for 17 years.
Peta has been fighting to free joe and they finally succeeded. Joe was transferred to the Save The Chimps Sanctuary facility in Florida. He will be in a temp enclosure allowing him to adapt to his new home and for his caregivers to make sure he is ok. He will then have access to the larger Habitat.

A stockpile of more than 100 tonnes of ivory from some 8,000 animals was set alight near Nairobi on Saturday, to highlight the threat to endangered species.
The stockpile of elephant tusks and rhino horns in a game reserve near Kenya's capital would have been worth an estimated 130 million euros to smugglers.
But the country's president, who lit the fire, wanted to send a message that trade in ivory - which poses an increasing risk to the species - must be stopped.
"Poaching and trafficking wildlife is now a branch of international crime. The fight against it will be won by alliances across nations and continents. The first step must be closer cooperation, especially among the states that hold Africa's remaining elephant herds," Uhuru Kenyatta said.
Commercial trade in African elephant ivory was banned in 1989, but conservationists say one-off sales that have since been permitted have revived demand.
Kenya is seeking a total world ban on ivory sales when the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) meets in South Africa later this year.
The country staged its first such burning ceremony in 1989 but the latest incineration is thought to be the biggest ever of its kind.

"Nazis out" was the cry from left-wing protesters in Germany as delegates of a right-wing, anti-immigration party arrived for its annual congress on Saturday.
Despite a huge police presence, hours of clashes followed in Stuttgart where demonstrators did their best to disrupt the gathering of the AfD, Alternative for Germany party.
Some 400 people were arrested.
Police said protesters threw stones at officers and attacked them with fireworks. Tear gas and pepper spray were used in response.
The clashes underline growing social tensions in Germany after a record-influx of more than 1 million migrants arrived in the country last year alone.

"We are united by our conviction that we can't let the AfD go unchallenged and that it is a party which is not only racist but which is engaged in the politics of exclusion and social division," said protester Dominik Schmeiser.
Proceedings inside the conference hall were forced to start late.
Led by Frauke Petry, the three-year-old AfD party says Islam is incompatible with Germany's constitution.
It is expected to adopt an openly anti-Islamic manifesto this weekend.
The AfD entered three state parliaments last month by attracting votes from those opposed to Chancellor Angela Merkel's open door policy for mainly Muslim refugees fleeing war in Syria.
The party will be encouraged by the success of the far-right in last week's first round of presidential polls in neighbouring Austria.
30 April 2016 - Germany and five other states are to ask the EU to prolong inter-Schengen border controls for a further six months. Passport-free travel between several EU countries has been suspended owing to the migrant crisis.
German Interior Minister Thomas De Maiziere said in a statement Saturday that despite the effective closing of the West Balkan route to refugees, EU states still needed to protect themselves from a possible new migrant influx through other routes.
"Member states must continue to have the flexibility and option to conduct border controls at their internal borders in cases when it is necessary," the statement said, adding such measures were required to guarantee a certain level of safety.
The EU Schengen area's 26 countries allow free travel across their borders without the need for passports.
But some countries were given permission to temporarily reinstate border checks, which is due to run out on May 12.
A German government official said the request for a six-month extension would be send to Brussels on Monday in a joint letter from Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden.
The six countries have all clamped down on border entry as the continent battles its biggest migration crisis since the end of World War II. Germany took in more than a million refugees last year, but the numbers of arrivals has slowed significantly recently.
EU review of Greece
Earlier this month, Austria also announced tough new refugee controls, along with plans to build a 370-meter-long (1,200-foot-long) fence at the Brenner Pass in the Alps to protect against a sudden migrant influx, much to the annoyance of its neighbor Italy and the EU.
Brussels is expected to review Greece's efforts to protect the EU's external borders on the same day as the current controls expire. Analysts think a negative assessment would strengthen the case for an extension of the border checks.
A European Commission source told the Reuters news agency that Brussels was likely to green-light an extension, which will allow EU states to continue border checks until November.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made it clear she was against any attempt to allow long-term border controls, saying she would fight to uphold EU citizens' right to freedom of movement and residence within the bloc.
In her weekly video podcast, she urged EU member states to avoid seeking national solutions to European problems.

Sweden celebrates 70th birthday of King Carl XVI Gustaf
Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf may be young compared to Britain's Queen Elizabeth - he's 70's, she's just turned 90 - but he celebrated his birthday in style on Saturday, surrounded by fellow royals from across Europe.
Among those gathering at the Royal Palace in Stockholm were Spain's former King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, making a rare joint public appearance.
Others present included Denmark's Queen Margrethe and the Netherlands former Queen Beatrix.
Crowds sang heartily in front of the palace balcony, with the Swedish Royal Family looking on.
Carl Gustaf has been king since 1973.
Sweden is a constitutional monarchy, meaning he has no political power.
Swedes pride themselves on their country's social equality but the royal family remains popular and it is clear that the king has a special place in people's hearts.

Hundreds of supporters of Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr have stormed the Iraqi parliament in protest at MPs' failure to convene for a vote on overhauling the government.
Amid what appeared to be a festive atmosphere, some chanted "the cowards ran away!" in reference to the absent lawmakers.
They have been demonstrating for weeks, heeding their leader's call to put pressure on the prime minister to act on promises of reform.
Earlier, the protesters broke into the heavily-fortified Green Zone housing government buildings including the parliament, as well as foreign embassies. Western compounds were locked down.
A guard at a checkpoint said the protesters were not searched before entering - although an armed group loyal to Sadr was said to have made some rudimentary checks.
Sadr's fighters once controlled significant parts of the city and helped defend it from the so-called Islamic State.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi wants to replace some ministers - chosen to balance Iraq's divisions - with technocrats to combat corruption. But political parties have resisted the changes.
The protests followed parliament's failure to complete a vote approving a planned ministerial reshuffle, designed to combat corruption.
"We are here to put pressure on the politicians because they are not honest, we demand a true stance by them to serve the Iraqi people," said Hakem Radi, one of the protesters.
Elsewhere, around 20 people were killed in a Baghdad suburb when a suicide bomber struck a gathering of Shi'ite pilgrims in an attack claimed by Sunni militants.

30 April 2016 - Anonymous hate letters sent to a Senegalese migrant teen living in Italy turns out to have been sent by...herself.
A tale of envy, racism and mystery had the Italian media hooked last May when a series of hate-filled letters sent to the daughter of Senegalese migrants brought about a nationwide conversation about racism and roused high-profile figures such as national politicians to pledge solidarity with the girl. The case received so much attention that it prompted one of the country's Cabinet ministers to visit her school.
A year on from that whirlwind of publicity, the investigation has concluded quietly with the revelation that the girl made the whole thing up.
La Repubblica, an Italian newspaper, reported that the fourteen year old girl's father alerted the police after the "model student" received six letters filled with racist slurs. The letters told her that she would never realise her dream of becoming a lawyer because she is black, one going on to say: "You are beautiful but unfortunately you were born dirty. You have to go back to your country with your family unlike me, who is purebred."
The girl's father said he believed the hate campaign, which also saw torn exercise books and textbooks sent to his daughter, was motivated "half by racism and half by envy" because she had recently excelled in her exams.
For over a week news outlets pored over the racist letters, some even analysing the grammatical structure to speculate what sort of person could have sent the hateful missives. It was reported that the girl's school held investigatory interviews with her classmates, compared the letters' handwriting with that of all the other pupils, and the headteacher promised "exemplary punishment" as excuses "would not be enough".
A few days after the initial report, la Repubblica published an open letter by the young Muslim, who wears a hijab. In it, the fourteen year old conveys enthusiasm for her studies and pledges to work even harder in order to one day achieve her goal of becoming a lawyer.
Speaking out against prejudice, the girl writes that whilst Italians denounce racism, racist behaviour can "eventually jump out of people". She expresses hope that the culprits of the hate campaign will be identified so she can "look them in the eye" and they can be punished.
There was further intrigue a few days later when the press reported that a new letter had been found, this one mocking the girl for going to the press and declaring that neither she nor the police would ever learn the sender's identity.
It repeated claims that the Senegalese teenager would never be able to become a lawyer, this time saying "no one is willing to be defended by a black woman". This seventh letter in the series stated that newspapers covering the episode do not don't care about the girl's plight and taunted that "they just want the pennies".
The mayor of Pisa soon weighed in on the controversy, calling it "unbearable", and announcing that the whole city is "mobilising for the student".
Other high profile figures added their voices of support, too, with trade union leader Gianfranco Francese condemning the letters as the "poisoned fruit of racist and xenophobic propaganda".
But one year on from all of this the furore, the centre-right newspaper Secolo d'Italia has revealed the investigation, conducted by the juvenile justice prosecutor, closed with no one held responsible for the letters.
The girl's' classmates' mobile phone records and social media profiles were examined, and the police even conducted a raid on the school, but what eventually emerged from the investigation is that no third parties were responsible. Experiencing relationship difficulties, the Senegalese girl had apparently orchestrated the hoax for attention, and is now being seen by social services in the municipality to help her "overcome" these issues.

I wonder what its like to go there in the dark of night?
The shock of discovering a surprisingly inflated mobile phone bill after travelling abroad within the EU should be a thing of the past from now on.
Dramatic reductions in controversial roaming charges imposed by operators came into effect on Saturday.
It follows a nine-year campaign by the European Commission to tackle excessive charges and should bring large savings for consumers.
The new rules cap the extra charges that operators can impose on travellers from other EU countries. Roaming surcharges are now limited to:
0.05EUR extra per minute for outgoing calls
0.0114EUR extra per minute for incoming calls
0.02EUR extra per text message sent
0.05EUR extra per Megabyte of data downloaded
The changes are expected to bring roaming charges down by at least a third. The biggest reductions are expected to be for consumers downloading data - photos, emails and social media.
These are just interim measures: the surcharges are due to be abolished altogether from June next year.
The Commission - which says roaming charges have already been brought down by 75 percent from their original levels - wants to eliminate all barriers to create a single digital market.

At least 21 people have been killed and 42 injured after a car bomb targetting Shia pilgrims exploded in a suburb of Baghdad, Saturday, according to official security and medical sources.
The car bomb was reportedly parked on a road in the suburb of Nahrawan and targetted Shia pilgrims on route to the shrine of Imam Musa al-Kadhim in northern Baghdad. Kadhim was the seventh of 12 revered Imams in Shia Islam and his death in 799 AD is commemorated each year, with thousands expected to travel to the shrine by foot over the coming days.

It entered three state parliaments last month by attracting votes from those opposed to Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to welcome mainly Muslim refugees fleeing war in Syria.
Founded three years ago, the party says Islam is incompatible with Germany's constitution and is expected to adopt an openly anti-Islamic manifesto this weekend.
A leader of German Muslims has likened the AFD's attitude towards his community to that of Hitler's Nazis toward Jews.
Scene of riots and police action
NATO is considering to send 1,000 more troops to Poland and the Russian border. Chancellor Merkel According to the Bundeswehr is intended to play a leading role. Moscow responded irritably.
NATO drives the upgrade in the EU-Russia border Member States even further. Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) confirmed reflections on a further surge in Poland and the Baltic States.
In Lithuania accordingly to a Bundeswehr company with 150 to 250 soldiers cite an estimated 1,000 troops a NATO battalion. The decision falls to the NATO summit in Warsaw on 8 and 9 July.
The eastern NATO members who feel threatened by Russia. The alliance had therefore already in 2014 initiated a stronger military presence in these countries at the last summit in Wales. The Bundeswehr sent already this year 5500 soldiers in maneuvers and training operations in the east - 500 more than last year. In Warsaw, the next step is to follow.
If the NATO-Russia Act compromised?
The planned troop increase was consistent with the NATO-Russia Act, Merkel stressed on Friday in Berlin. The Treaty of 1997 stipulates that NATO waived the permanent stationing "substantial forces" in the former members of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union.
NATO argued that the troops in the east would rotate. It also keeps the current number of NATO soldiers in eastern Alliance territory not for "substantial".
Dialogue with Moscow wants the alliance but still maintained. "We must always also be prepared and allow the conversation ability. I think this is very important," said Merkel.
The Latvian Prime Minister Maris Kucinskis who met Merkel in Berlin on Friday, in turn, said that the eyes "directed in security issues on Germany" were. "I am very pleased that the Chancellor has announced its support" for securing the Latvian eastern border, he added.
Moscow reacts angrily
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reacted angrily to the plans. In a broadcast by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs interview the Swedish newspaper "Dagens Nyheter" he commented NATO activities. "We have always said if military infrastructure of Russian border approaches, then we will of course take the necessary measures," he said.
The Russian military will not make decisions on the basis of NATO declarations but based on what it can see "with his own eyes."
Lavrov accused NATO of having decided to upgrade long before the Ukraine conflict. Therefore, Russia must respond with adequate resources.
Wagenknecht speaks of "irresponsible provocation"
NATO had taken her because of the Ukraine crisis exposed two years ago dialogue with Moscow again until just over a week. Parties supported by the first meeting of the NATO-Russia Council in favor of a continuation of the dialogue. However, nothing in common projects, no "positive agenda" with the Western alliance, said Russian Ambassador Alexander Grushko.
The Left Party criticized the plans of the Federal Government. Merkel commits an "irresponsible provocation, when 75 years after the attack on the Soviet Union, the Bundeswehr to the Russian border will send," said the parliamentary leader Sahra Wagenknecht.
People were seen clearing rubble and carrying victims to a medical facility in Aleppo, on Friday, after the city was once again rocked by fierce fighting. Terrorists reportedly shelled a mosque in the government-held district of Bab al-Faraj, killing 15 people.

Nine weeks of political paralysis in Ireland have been broken with a landmark deal between its two big rival parties.
Fine Gael is now set to form a minority government, enabled by Fianna Fail which will give its backing over a period of three budgets, until Autumn 2018.
The accord between the historic rivals, both on the centre right, follows an inconclusive general election on February 26. It still needs formal approval by each of the parties.

Violence continues to plague Iraq. A bomb explosion has targeted a group of Shia pilgrims near the capital Baghdad.
More than 20 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in the car bomb blast in Nahrawan, an area northeast of Baghdad. The pilgrims were walking to the shrine of Imam Musa Kazim, the seventh Shia Imam, for annual commemorations. Local officials say the death toll is expected to mount as some of those injured are in critical condition. There's been no claim of responsibility but similar attacks are usually blamed on Takfiri groups such as Daesh. Last month, more than 1100 Iraqis lost their lives nationwide.

A six-storey building has collapsed in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
It happened at the Huruma residential estate on Friday.
The Kenyan Red Cross says rescuers are searching the scene.
At least three children and one adult have been taken to hospital.
ALERT: Local media: 55 people rescued from rubble of Nairobi building collapse so far; 3 confirmed dead - KTN News https://t.co/J0fuE6cVxH...- MI News Place (@minewsplace) April 29, 2016
Many people are feared trapped.
Kenyan television has shown people being pulled from the rubble of the apartment block.
Recent heavy rain has caused problems with transport systems and building safety.
At least three people were killed when a wall collapsed in Nairobi on Friday morning.
All 13 people on a helicopter that crashed off the Norwegian coast on Friday are presumed dead.
Dramatic images showed the detached rota blade still spinning as it fell.
Plumes of smoke rose from the spot where the aircraft crashed into the North Sea in an area dotted with small islands.
Rescue services had recovered 11 bodies by late Friday evening with two others still missing.
The helicopter was ferrying the passengers from a Norwegian oil platform towards the city of Bergen, an important hub for the oil and gas industry in the region.
The Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, offered her sympathies to the victims' families:
"To all those who feel anxiety and insecurity, loss and pain - you should know that you are not alone in your grief. This is a sad day for all who work in the Norwegian oil and gas business."
Most of the victims were from Norway but there was at least one British and an Italian among them.
The Norwegian authorities temporarily grounded the type of helicopter that crashed but said it was still too early to establish how the accident had happened.
Kenyan authorities were preparing to burn a stockpile of over a hundred tons of elephant tusks on Saturday as a message to the world over the threat to animals from poaching.
Officials believe it to be the largest single destruction of ivory in history.

Conservationists say elephants could become extinct in the next 50 years.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is supporting the call for a worldwide ban on ivory sales:
"There is convincing evidence that poaching is aided by international criminal syndicates. If fuels corruption. This directly threatens the capacity of our nations to achieve sustainable and meaningful social economic development."
The number of elephants in Africa has plunged from 1.2 million in the 1970s to around 400,000 today.
Poaching for ivory resulted in the deaths of over 30,000 elephants a year from 2010 to 2012. The future for rhinos is even more bleak unless action is taken and is successful.
Demand for ivory, especially in China, is fuelling the poaching. Kenya wants to see a ban all sales of ivory, even in markets legal at present.
Conservationists want to see more prosecutions of poachers and deeper cooperation across boarders to catch offenders.
Aleppo sustained another day of air strikes and shelling on Friday. A week of fierce fighting in Syria's second city has seen at least 200 people killed and many more injured.
In the rebel-held east eleven people were reported dead and there were claims that a medical facility was destroyed - the second within a week.
Away from the fighting the White House said on Friday that the US and Russia are working to reinvigorate the ceasefire agreement for Syria that has consistently broken down due to repeated violations.
In a strike on Wednesday blamed on government forces Medecins Sans Frontieres said 50 people including six medical staff died in an attack on the al-Quds hospital in Aleppo.

Gordon Smiley Not So Smiley After His Accident - Thanks
This happenededed in 1982. Thanks.
"During an attempt to qualify for the Indy 500, Gordon Smiley, a cocky young driver from Texas, was determined to break 200mph or die trying. Several veteran drivers...had warned him that he was in way over his head, driving all wrong for the Speedway. Smiley was a road racer and was used to counter-steering his car to avoid a crash if the rear wheels broke traction. While rushing to the car, I noticed small splotches of a peculiar gray substance marking a trail on the asphalt leading up to the driver. When I reached the car, I was shocked to see that Smiley's helmet was gone, along with the top of his skull. He had essentially been scalped by the debris fence. The material on the race track was most of his brain. His helmet, due to massive centrifugal force, was literally pulled from his head on impact...I rode to the care center with the body. On the way in I performed a cursory examination and realized that nearly every bone in his body was shattered. He had a gaping wound in his side that looked as if he had been attacked by a large shark. I had never seen such trauma."
An influential politician from Angela Merkel's ruling CDU party says all mosques in Germany should be subject to state supervision in light of what he sees as a threat from extreme Muslims.
Volker Kauder, who heads the conservative parliamentary grouping in Germany's lower house, used his twitter account air his views on controlling mosques and radical imams.
"Wir leben in einem Staat, in dem die Religion nicht "uber dem Staat steht, sondern umgekehrt" - #Kauder im Interview https://t.co/rHb1eEe46i- CDU/CSU (@cducsubt) 29. April 2016
That drew an immediate response from some critics of the idea.

Moscheen in Deutschland unter staatlicher Kontrolle? Unrealistisch und "uberfl"ussig. Kommentar: https://t.co/hifO0C5jah #Moscheenkontrolle- NDR Info (@NDRinfo) 29. April 2016
But Kauder says that Germany was constituted as a secular state and that sermons delivered in some mosques donot conform with that concept.
The Berliner Zeitung newspaper on Friday quoted him as saying religion does not stand above the state, but rather the the state over religion.
Kauder's remarks came just before a meeting of the right-wing Alternative for Germany party, which has drafted an anti-Islamic manifesto.
Some analysts see his remarks as an attempt win back voters from the AfD.
Germany is home to around four million Muslims.

Teenager Freaks Out On First Roller Coaster Ride
Even though she was safely sandwiched between two friends, this girl freaked out on her first rollercoaster ride at Six Flags Great America. Her initial panic turned into pure terror as the coaster took off at full speed down its first hill.
While celebrating the fall season at a harvest festival, this girl tried to hang onto a giant pumpkin as it spun around. However, as soon as the pumpkin picked up speed, she was unable to keep her grip and the pumpkin flung her off into the hay.
Everything seemed to be going well after this grandma was persuaded to go on this roller coaster with her son and grandson. Unfortunately, as soon as the ride started to pick up speed, she took off her glasses and screamed at the top of her lungs at every sharp turn and big dip they went through.
During particularly snowy conditions along a narrow highway, this driver witnessed a car in front of him slide right off the road from the ice. To make matters even worse, when he tried to get back on the road, he veered right into the path of oncoming traffic. Luckily, emergency workers were soon on scene to assist.
These people excitedly gathered on the street to watch the parade march by. Unfortunately, one of the balloons impaled itself on a street light and sadly deflated in front of everyone.

A United States military investigation has concluded that a deadly US air strike on an Afghan hospital last year did not not amount to a war crime.
Forty-two people were killed and 37 others wounded in the strike that destroyed the Kunduz facility run by the charity Doctors Without Borders.
A top US general said it was caused by a number of factors, including human errors.
"The investigation concluded that certain personnel failed to comply with rules of engagement and the law of armed conflict. However, the investigation did not conclude that these failures amounted to a war crime," said Army General Joseph Votel, Commander of US Central Command. "The investigation found that the incident resulted form a combination of human errors, process errors and equipment failures. And that none of the personnel knew they were striking a hospital."
Doctors Without Borders said it will examine the US report and determine whether or not it answers the many questions that remain outstanding seven months after the attack.

Michel Platini was smiling when he left the Court of Arbitration for sport in Lausanne on Friday.
However, the suspended UEFA president faces waiting until the 9 May to find out if his second appeal against a FIFA six-year ban for ethics violations has been successful.
If Platini is absolved, he would be free to resume his duties as UEFA president and attend Euro 2016 in his native France in an official capacity in June and July.
"It was like getting ready to score a goal," Platini told reporters waiting outside. "I tried to be precise, clear and concise. I did the work, I issued an invoice following the FIFA guidelines and I paid tax on the money."
"If I am president of UEFA, I will be attending all games during Euro 2016."

Why was Platini banned?
FIFA, the governing body for world football, found the 60-year-old guilty of breaching ethical standards over a 1.75 million euro "disloyal payment" made in 2011.
The former French international says the payment was for work he did as a FIFA advisor between 1999 and 2002.
He says the nine-year payment delay was due to FIFA's financial situation.
The former FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, was also found guilty.
Both men deny any wrongdoing.
Hasn't there already been an appeal?
Yes.
The bans for both men were upheld by FIFA on appeal.
However, they were reduced from eight to six years after the organisation considered the service they had given during their tenure.
Why was Sepp Blatter at the hearing?

An intoxicated Ohio man asked a police officer to help him look for his missing marijuana. In a body cam video posted to the station's website, 42-year old Dennis Wagner stops a cop to ask for his help. In the video, he appears to be drunk.
"Hey. I'm not gonna lie," Wagner begins. "I lost a little bit of my marijuana."
The cop, displaying a tremendous amount of patience, says, "Where at?"
"Somewhere around here. I don't know. But it's gone." Wagner says.
"How do you know you lost it?"
Wagner is straightforward: "'Cause I ain't got it on me."
The officer first tells Wagner to check his pockets, and then, when it's not there, tells him that they have to find it because he doesn't want a kid finding it.
The video shows the cop looking through the grass. "Here it is. I found it for you."
"Can you throw it back down for me?" Wagner asks.
The cop answers in the negative.
Wagner was given a ticket.

There have also been demonstrations in the cities of Porto and Faro.
Similar protests have taken place elsewhere in Europe, the United States and India.
What is the protest about?
Unions representing an estimated 13,000 Portuguese taxi drivers are pressuring the government to crack down on the Uber paying passenger service.
The smartphone-based service started business in Portugal in 2014.
One driver said if Uber were a platform that provided a proper taxi service, then they would be happy with it. "There are other taxi services, like MyTaxi and 99. If they worked liked that it would be fine. But they are giving the work to people who are not legal taxis."
Antral, one of Portugal's main drivers' associations, obtained a civil court ruling in 2015 preventing the firm from operating nationwide.
However, the ruling was filed against Uber's US-based and not European-based affiliate.
Why are they against Uber?
The professional taxi drivers are against the ride-hailing service because:
There are no fixed prices
Drivers do not have the correct insurance
Portugal already has enough taxis
The two sides have been fighting in court for the last year.
What does Uber say?
The company insists it operates within the law:
Its drivers are properly licensed
They have the appropriate insurance
A recent Eurosondagem poll suggests 72.3% of Lisbon and Porto residents are in favour of Uber, while only 9% are against.

What does the Portuguese government say?
It is studying the legal arguments
Officials are waiting for guidance from the European Commission
Taxi drivers have been given 17 million euros to modernise their vehicles
