Hamas opted for reconciliation with Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah because it is short of funds and friends a decade after seizing the enclave in a brief civil war.

| 'Nothing's changed': OJ Simpson makes first public comments since release from 'nowhere U.S.A' Posted: 01 Oct 2017 07:09 PM PDT  O.J. Simpson, whose racially charged 1995 murder trial riveted the nation, said nothing much had changed after spending almost a decade in "nowhere USA". The disgraced American football star was freed on parole after nine years behind bars for armed robbery. The 70-year-old left the Lovelock Correctional Center in the western state of Nevada just after midnight local time, prison spokesperson Brooke Keast said. "I don't know where he was headed," Keast said. A video released by the Nevada Department of Corrections showed him leaving the facility and heading toward a car park wearing a long coat and baseball cap as a woman said: "Come on out." Hours later, he was tracked down by reporters as he sat in the back of a white SUV in Amargosa Valley, about 75 miles northwest of Las Vegas, just after 5:30 a.m.. Former football legend O.J. Simpson signs documents at the Lovelock Correctional Center Credit: AP "Man, how in the … Have you all been … you all stalking me?" he said, according to the video obtained by the New York Post. Asked how it felt to be free, he said: "I'm in a car for the last five hours, so how do I know how it feels to be out? "I've been in nowhere U.S.A. for the last nine years doing nothing. Nothing has changed in my life. What do you expect?" he said. Asked where he was headed, he replied: "None of your business." Simpson's lawyer has said he planned to relocate to Florida following his release from the medium-security prison where he has been serving his sentence. "God bless, take care guys," he said as the reporter left, adding: "Yeah, nothing's changed." A Nevada parole official said Simpson planned to live at a home in the Las Vegas area for the foreseeable future. State Parole and Probation Capt. Shawn Arruti told The Associated Press that Simpson has one approved residential plan, and it doesn't currently include a move to Florida or any other state. Arruti said that could change in the future. Simpson was granted parole at a hearing in July and his earliest release date was set for October 1, but he had widely been expected to be freed no earlier than Monday. OJ timeline Instead, he was set free at eight minutes past midnight (0708 GMT Sunday) "to ensure public safety and avoid possible incident," Keast said. Simpson was famously found not guilty in 1995 of the grisly murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and a male friend, Ron Goldman, in a case that transfixed the country and became known as the "Trial of the Century." But the former National Football League running back and actor was sent to prison in 2008 for his role in an armed robbery the previous year of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas resort. Simpson claimed at his trial that he was just seeking to recover personal items from the dealers, an explanation that satisfied his parole board. At his parole hearing in July Simpson initially did not express any remorse for his actions but eventually offered that he was "sorry that things turned out the way they did." Profile | OJ Simpson

| Why it's so messed up that Trump just used the word "ingrates" in relation to Puerto Rico Posted: 01 Oct 2017 07:50 AM PDT  There isn't a low bar for Donald Trump comments anymore. The bar has been obliterated. Everything he says is terrible, including Sunday morning's tweet about political "ingrates" in Puerto Rico. In the wake of Hurricane Maria, San Juan's mayor, Carmen Yulín Cruz, has been explicit about the horrific conditions of the people in Puerto Rico, and transparent about the lack of support the island has been receiving from Donald Trump. She hasn't attacked Trump outright, but she's resorted to outright begging for help. In response to Cruz, the president has been tweeting—and golfing—amidst one of the most horrendous humanitarian crises of his administration. His latest tweets, on Sunday morning, seemed to imply that Cruz and the people of Puerto Rico aren't thankful enough for the minimal amount of aid that's been provided so far. We have done a great job with the almost impossible situation in Puerto Rico. Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates,... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2017 SEE ALSO: San Juan mayor to Trump: 'We are dying' "We have done a great job with the almost impossible situation in Puerto Rico. Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates, people are now starting to recognize the amazing work that has been done by FEMA and our great Military," he tweeted. While Trump did not directly call Cruz out, his past attacks on the mayor suggest that the "politically motivated ingrates" portion of his tweet is directed squarely at Cruz. #SanJuanMayor is being partisan in her sharp unfair attacks on @realDonaldTrump But calling her 'politically motivated ingrate' is too harsh — Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 1, 2017 Trump's use of the word "ingrate" is not only disrespectful to to the mayor and her dogged relief efforts on the ground, though that's bad on its own. It also continues to perpetuate an ugly sentiment: that the people of Puerto Rico should be thankful for any attention at all from the president and his administration. Remember: the people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the United States. "Ingrate" meaning an ungrateful person. The mayor literally went on TV to beg and he called her ungrateful. https://t.co/R3AECgoiMn — David Mack (@davidmackau) October 1, 2017 Trump's tweets suggest that every person without potable water, electricity, and shelter is, in a word, ungrateful. The racial implications of his Puerto Rico inaction is also made clear with his word choice beyond "ingrate." He has repeatedly othered the people of Puerto Rico in his statements. "Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help," he tweeted on Saturday. "They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort," he said, referring to those suffering as "they," and distancing the idea that "they" are "us"—citizens who should expect their government to step in during times of need, just as they did in Houston and Florida. In a tweet that went viral on Saturday, writer Jess Dweck took his statement and flipped it on it's head, criticizing the president with his own words. Dweck shared an image of Trump and his family alongside over 50 people who, according to the caption on Getty Images, are his household staff at Mar-a-Lago Club. "They want everything to be done for them." pic.twitter.com/SsrVvH6l9s — Jess Dweck (@TheDweck) September 30, 2017 Many others have also jumped onto Twitter to criticize Trump, particularly after his latest "ingrate" tweet. Mayor who sleeps on a cot in shelter, wades through sewage to save lives, begs for help from President is a "politically motivated ingrate." https://t.co/yZJm2KvOWy — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) October 1, 2017 WOW.

Someone stop this lunacy right now. pic.twitter.com/kCciYeBobG — Mike P Williams (@Mike_P_Williams) October 1, 2017 If you don't agree with our president then you are a "politically motivated ingrate," just so we're clear. https://t.co/nepPIcMJ7N — Hollie (@cuteniblett) October 1, 2017 I don't always ingrate.

| Death of the Nile: Egypt fears Ethiopian dam will cut into its water supply Posted: 01 Oct 2017 11:57 PM PDT  The only reason Egypt has even existed from ancient times until today is because of the Nile River, which provides a thin, richly fertile stretch of green through the desert. Now, for the first time, the country fears a potential threat to that lifeline, and it seems to have no idea what to do about it. Ethiopia is finalizing construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, its first major dam on the Blue Nile, and then will eventually start filling the giant reservoir behind it to power the largest hydroelectric dam in Africa. Egypt fears that will cut into its water supply, destroying parts of its precious farmland and squeezing its population of 93 million people, who already face water shortages. Dam construction on international rivers often causes disputes over the downstream impact. But the Nile is different: few nations rely so completely on a single river as much as Egypt does. The Nile provides over 90 per cent of Egypt's water supply. Almost the entire population lives cramped in the sliver of the Nile Valley. Around 60 per cent of Egypt's Nile water originates in Ethiopia from the Blue Nile, one of two main tributaries. Holiday makers enjoy Nile cruises during Sham el-Nessim, or "smelling the breeze," in Cairo, Egypt Credit: AP Photo/Amr Nabil Egypt hardly gets by with the water it does have. It has one of the lowest per capita shares of water in the world, some 660 cubic meters a person. The strain is worsened by inefficiency and waste. With the population expected to double in 50 years, shortages are predicted to become severe even sooner, by 2025. Egypt already receives the lion's share of Nile waters: more than 55 billion of the around 88 billion cubic meters of water that flow down the river each year. It is promised that amount under agreements from 1929 and 1959 that other Nile nations say are unfair and ignore the needs of their own large populations. Complicating the situation, no one has a clear idea what impact Ethiopia's dam will actually have. Addis Ababa insists it will not cause significant harm to Egypt or Sudan downstream. Sayed Ahmed Abdoh poles his boat to check his fish traps in the Nile River, near Abu al-Nasr village, about 770 kilometers (480 miles) south of Cairo Credit: AP Photo/Hiro Komae Much depends on the management of the flow and how fast Ethiopia fills its reservoir, which can hold 74 billion cubic meters of water. A faster fill means blocking more water, while doing it slowly would mean less reduction downstream. Once the fill is completed, the flow would in theory return to normal. Egypt, where agriculture employs a quarter of the work force, is worried that the damage could be long-lasting. One study by a Cairo University agriculture professor estimated Egypt would lose a staggering 51 percent of its farmland if the fill is done in three years. A slower, six-year fill would cost Egypt 17 percent of its cultivated land, the study claimed. Top five | Reasons to visit Ethiopia Internal government studies estimate that for every reduction of 1 billion cubic meters of water, 200,000 acres of farmland would be lost and livelihoods of 1 million people affected, since an average of five people live off each acre, a senior Irrigation Ministry official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the figures. Other experts say the impact will be far smaller, even minimal. They say Egypt could suffer no damage at all if it and Ethiopia work together and exchange information, adjusting the rate of filling the reservoir to ensure that Egypt's own massive reservoir on the Nile, Lake Nasser, stays full enough to meet its needs during the fill. Unfortunately, that isn't happening so far. "To my knowledge, this situation is unique, particularly at this scale," said Kevin Wheeler at the Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute. "I just can't think of another case that has two large reservoirs in series without a plan on how to operate them together." Originating in Ethiopia, the Blue Nile flows into Sudan, where it joins with the White Nile, whose source is Lake Victoria in east Africa. From there it flows through Egypt to the Mediterranean. For Ethiopia, the $5 billion dam is the realization of a long-delayed dream. Ethiopia's infrastructure is among the least developed in the world, leaving most of its 95 million people without access to electricity. The hydroelectric dam is to have a capacity to generate over 6,400 Megawatts, a massive boost to the current production of 4,000 Megawatts. The dam, around 60 percent complete, is likely to be finished this year or early next. Ethiopia has given little information on when it will start the fill or at what rate. "We have taken into account (the dam's) probable effects on countries like Egypt and Sudan," Ethiopia's water, irrigation and electricity minister, Sileshi Bekele, told journalists. He added that plans for the fills could be adjusted. In a 2015 Declaration of Principles agreement, Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan agreed to contract an independent study of the dam's impact and abide by it as they agree on a plan for filling the reservoir and operating the dam. But the deadline to complete the study has passed, and it has hardly begun, held up by differences over information sharing and transparency despite multiple rounds of negotiations among the three. Frustration among Egyptian officials is starting to show. In June, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri spoke of "difficult talks" and complained of delays in the impact study. A high-ranking government official acknowledged there's little Egypt can do. "We can't stop it and in all cases, it will be harmful to Egypt," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Egyptian leaders in the past have rumbled about military action to stop any dam, but that option seems less likely after Egypt signed the Declaration of Principles. Salman Salman, a Sudanese water expert, said Egypt has long had an attitude of "this is our river and no one can touch it." Now, he said, "Egypt is no longer the dominant force along the Nile. Ethiopia is replacing it."
