DAMASCUS nike shox tilbud dk , July 8 (Xinhua) -- Deputy UN Special Envoy for Syria Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy said here on Saturday that the cease-fire agreement reached Friday between the United States and Russia to quell fighting in southwest Syria is a "step in the right direction."

 

In a press briefing held in Damascus, Ramzy said the U.S.-Russian agreement for creating the de-escalation zones in southwest Syria is also an important development, adding that the UN support the efforts to de-escalate violence in Syria.

 

"The agreement to create de-escalation zones in southern Syria...is an important development. The UN always aims to de-escalate tension and this is a step in the right direction. We hope that the other areas that have been discussed to be included in the de-escalation zones deal to reach similar agreement soon and that will support the political process," he said.

 

A day earlier, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the agreement billige nike shox sko , if it holds, may be a blueprint for other parts of the country. "This area in the south is our first show of success. We hope we can replicate that elsewhere," he said.

 

Tillerson noted that there are more details to be discussed on the Russian side regarding who will provide the security forces to observe the cease-fire in that part, adding that such details will be finalized within a week.

 

The de-escalation zones deal was established in Syria last May, with Russia nike shox danmark , Iran and Turkey signing the deal.

 

The U.S. had no apparent role in the deal, which included four zones that will be included in the deal, namely Homs, Idlib, Daraa and Eastern Ghouta countryside of Damascus.

 

The deal held up relatively well in Idlib nike shox tilbud , but in Daraa in southern Syria the situation got tense recently with renewed battles between the Syrian army and the rebels, which prompted Russia and the U.S. to reach the agreement for southwestern Syria, which include Daraa and Qunaitera, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

 

Qunaitera witnessed intense battles between the Syrian army and the rebels. Also, Israel struck Syrian military positions several times over the past two weeks.

 

Still Herre Nike Air Max 97 Sko Sort Sølv til Salg , the Syrian government hasn't officially commented on the new U.S.-Russian agreement.

SYDNEY, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Anglo American is the latest mining giant to pull funding away from the expansion of the controversial Abbot Point coal terminal, adding pressure on a project that the Australian Greens described Wednesday as " economically unviable and environmentally disastrous."

 

Anglo American last week signaled that it will now follow BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Lend Lease in pulling out of the Abbot Point coal terminal.

 

And while depressed coal prices continue to impact the spending priorities of global mining companies, the pressure from local communities and conservationists to adopt a hands-off approach to the expansion makes the Anglo decision far from surprising.

 

According to a company spokeswoman Billige Herre Nike Air Max 95 KPU Sko Sort , Anglo American notified the Queensland government of "its intention to withdraw from the AP-X coal terminal development project at Abbot Point and has ceased to be actively involved."

 

The Anglo decision follows the postponement of expansions like the mine in Queensland's Moranabh South, with rivals Rio Tinto and BHP also declaring an interim freeze on the extra capacity that would become available to the market as part of the Abbot Point port expansion.

 

The collapse of coal prices may have only postponed the " Damoclean Sword" hovering above the Great Barrier Reef, one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, as the Federal Government under Prime Minister Tony Abbott seeks to fund the project. However, December 2013 results Herre Nike Shox Avenue Sko Royal Blå Hvid Tilbud , like those that Anglo endured are making an investor difficult to unearth.

 

The plunge in global metallurgical coal saw Anglo's operating profit plummet 89 per cent (to 46 million U.S. dollars), while thermal coal profits fell 32 percent (to 541 million U.S. dollars).

 

The proposed 6.2 billion Australian dollar expansion of the Abbot Point coal port has fired opposition to the government's approach to environmental protection, particularly the fate of the Great Barrier Reef.

 

The plans for the North Queensland venture could see four further coal terminals built providing Australia with an extra annual capacity of 120 million tons.

 

Adani and GVK Hancock still hold the development rights for port's Terminal 0 and Terminal 3 respectively, with the miners planning massive coal mines in the Galilee Basin.

 

North Queensland Bulk Ports said in a statement that the advancement of the site is fundamental in catering for future incremental coal export growth at Abbot Point, the company said.

 

Anglo American's decision Danmark Herre Nike Shox Avenue Sko Sort Rød , to join BHP, Rio Tinto and Lend Lease in pulling out of the Abbot Point coal terminal is, according to Greens Senator Larissa Waters, evidence the project is economically unviable as well as environmentally disastrous.

 

"With the coal price dropping, the Abbot Point coal port is becoming as toxic to investors as it is to the Great Barrier Reef itself Tilbud Herre Nike Shox 807 Sko Sort Rød ," Senator Waters said.

 

"The big players are jumping ship because nobody wants our climate-destroying coal, with countries like China opting for renewable alternatives. The approval of the Abbot Point coal po.
