8A Tuesday, November 13, 2018 The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com WORLD UN watchdog: Iran abiding by 2015 deal BY KIY0K0 METZLER Associated Press VIENNA — The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog said Monday that Iran is abid ing by the deal reached in 2015 with major powers that aimed at preventing Tehran from building atomic weap ons in exchange for eco nomic incentives. In a confidential quarterly report distributed to mem ber states and reviewed by The Associated Press, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran has been abiding with key limi tations set in the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. The issue has grown more complicated since the U.S. withdrew unilaterally in May from the deal and then re-imposed sanctions. Iran’s economy has been strug gling ever since and its cur rency has plummeted in value. The other signatories to the deal — Germany, Brit ain, France, Russia and China — are continuing to try and make it work. In the report, the Vienna- based IAEA said the agency had access to all sites in Iran that it needed to visit and that inspectors con firmed Iran has kept within limits of heavy water and low-enriched uranium stockpiles. “Timely and proactive cooperation by Iran in pro viding such access facilitates implementation of the addi tional protocol and enhances confidence,” the report stated, referring to the pro cedure detailing safeguards and tools for verification. In its last quarterly report in August, the agency also concluded Iran had stayed within key limitations set by the JCPOA. A senior diplomat, who was speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t officially allowed to discuss the report, said that “there’s nothing that indicates that Iran’s coop eration or Iran’s attitude has changed since November 5.” On that date, the U.S. re imposed further oil and banking sanctions on Iran that where lifted under the 2015 deal but granted waiv ers to eight countries, includ ing Japan and Turkey, to continue buying Iranian petroleum products with out penalty for another six months. The latest batch of U.S. sanctions severely impacts Iran’s oil industry, the major source of the country’s for eign revenue. Tehran worries OPEC and non-OPEC countries such as Russia will increase their production to fill the gap in response. Trudeau: Our intelligence has heard Khashoggi tapes BY THOMAS ADAMSON Associated Press PARIS — Canadian Prime Minister Jus tin Trudeau on Monday became the first Western leader to acknowledge his country had heard recordings of the killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi. “Canada has been fully briefed up on what Turkey had to share,” Trudeau said from Paris, where he was attending the Peace Forum following the World War I armistice centenary. His comments come just two days after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he had given recordings “to Saudi Ara bia, to America, to the Germans, the French, to the British, to all of them. ” The Canadian leader is the first since that announcement to officially confirm that his country’s intelligence had listened to the audio as Canada’s intelligence agencies con tinue to work “very closely” with Turkish intelligence on Khashoggi’s killing. Trudeau said that he himself had not heard the shared audio, which is the latest move by Turkey to maintain international pressure on Saudi Arabia to stop a cover up of the Oct. 2 killing. He declined to give any details on the con tents of the tapes. Trudeau also said he thanked Erdogan in person for “his strength in responding to the Khashoggi situation” when the two leaders met in Paris this weekend. The cooperation between the two coun tries comes at a rocky moment. In an unre lated diplomatic spat, Canada in August criticized the arrests of Saudi women’s rights activists. In response, Saudi Arabia ordered the Canadian ambassador to leave the king dom and froze all new business between the two countries. France’s account somewhat differed on Erdogan’s claim to have shared the audio. When questioned on France 2 Television Monday, French Foreign Minister Jean- Yves Le Drian said that Turkey has “not to my knowledge” given the French govern ment any such recordings, and suggested the Turks were playing games. “If the Turkish president has informa tion to give to us, he must give it to us.. That means he is playing a political game in this situation,” Le Drian said. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavu- soglu accused his French counterpart of “impertinence” and said Turkish officials had shared “all information” with France’s intelligence on Oct. 24. Going further, Cavusoglu suggested that Le Drian may be trying to cover-up the kill ing so as not to endanger agreements with Saudi Arabia. “No one should be surprised if soon they begin to deny the murder that even Saudi Arabia accepted,” Cavusoglu said. “Who has recently reached which agreement — this should be carefully looked into.” He said: “Are they trying to cover up this murder? There are things we know... What kind of an agreement are they in?

Also Monday, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt was in Saudi Arabia where he met King Salman and was expected to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Hunt — the first British minister to visit Saudi Arabia since Khashoggi was killed — said he would press the kingdom to fully cooperate with a Turkish investigation into the writer’s killing. “The international community remain united in horror and outrage at the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi one month ago. It is clearly unacceptable that the full cir cumstances behind his murder still remain unclear,” Hunt said in a statement ahead of landing in Riyadh. A statement by the state-run Saudi News Agency did not make any references to Khashoggi, saying only that King Salman and Hunt discussed bilateral relations and the latest developments in the region. On Sunday U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with the Saudi crown prince on the telephone and “emphasized that the United States will hold all of those involved in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi account able, and that Saudi Arabia must do the same.” The crown prince is widely suspected of at least having knowledge of the killing, which involved some members of his secu rity entourage. Khashoggi was a Washing ton Post columnist and a critic of the crown prince who was living in self-imposed exile before his death. 50 countries vow to combat cybercrime — US and Russia don’t BY SYLVIE CORBET Associated Press PARIS — Fifty nations and over 150 tech compa nies pledged Monday to do more to fight criminal activ ity on the internet, including interference in elections and hate speech. But the United States, Russia and China are not among them. The group of governments and companies pledged in a document entitled the “Paris call for trust and security in cyberspace” to work together to prevent malicious activi ties like online censorship and the theft of trade secrets. The push is supported by EU countries, Japan and Canada as well as tech giants Facebook, Google and Micro soft, among others. French President Emman uel Macron had pushed for the initiative, whose unveil ing comes a day after dozens of world leaders gathered in Paris on Sunday for the cen tenary of the end of World War One. Speaking at the Internet Governance Forum orga nized at the Paris-based U.N. cultural agency UNESCO, Macron said it’s urgent to bet ter regulate the internet. The French leader also said that Facebook had accepted to let a team of French officials observe the way it monitors and removes hate speech content. It will happen in the early part of next year, and the goal is to “elaborate precise, concrete joint proposals about the fight against hate speech and offensive con tent,” Macron said. Speaking at another sum mit focusing on new tech nologies in Paris city hall, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said “one of the things we have to do as a society as tech leaders but also as government is reas sure people that the innova tion, technology... is going to empower them in ways they will feel part of the world we’re building, of the work places we’re creating.” Karen James is a noted journalist who specializes in relationships, romance, and sex. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Ask the Expert The Amazing Sex Secret of 78 Year-Old ‘Italian Stallion’ “My husband shocked me with more sexual passion than he’s had in years. He took me in the bedroom like we were newlyweds and gave me a night I’ll never forget” The Inside Story on Great Sex! This week I got a letter from a reader about a “little secret” that has made her sex life with her husband ab solutely explosive! (Those Texas women are spicy!) Tina writes: Dear Karen, For years my hus band and I had a great love life. He was sexy and passionate and so confident. But when he reached his 50s, he started to strug gle with getting and keeping an erection. The few times we did have sex, his erection was definitely softer, leaving us both unsat isfied. He tried every American product out there; prescriptions, creams, testosterone, enhancement pills... but nothing worked. I know this is terrible, but I found myself thinking "My strong, passionate husband has become a sexu al weakling.” I had no idea it would all turn around in just 3 weeks! Last month, he came home from a business trip in Europe and shocked me with more sexual energy and pas sion than he’s had in years. Hard as a rock, he tossed me around the bedroom like we were newlyweds’ and gave me a night I’ll never forget! It was incredible - and so exciting! He flat wore me out that night and it’s been like that ever since. His erections are harder than ever, and the best part is his climax is so long and powerful, they spark the most intense, toe-curling ‘moments’ I’ve ever had! So here we are, enjoying the best sex of our lives... in our late 50’s! When I asked my husband what caused such a dramatic change, he said on his trip he stayed in a hotel room next to an Italian nutritionist and his wife. Through the walls, he heard them passionately mak ing love every single night, and sometimes again in the morn ing. One afternoon, he saw the husband leave their room and he couldn’t believe it. The man looked much too old to be having so much sex. My husband couldn’t help himself, so he asked the man his secret. The nutri tionist smiled, intro duced himself as Vito, and told my husband he was 78 years old, his wife 65, and that after 32 years of mar riage, their sex life was better than ever. Then he took a small pack from his satchel, gave it to my husband, and said "Unlike the weak, watered down products you have in America, "These tab lets come from a small village near the sea, where they’re culti vated organically from the most potent sex ual extracts on earth. Believe me, they will give you a strong de sire for sex, powerful erections, and a cli max like you’ve nev er felt before! Then he laughed and said " You’ll become an Italian Stallion” like me! Italian Stallion is right! These past sev eral weeks have been a dream. My hus band’s desire for me is through the roof. He takes me whenever he wants, and he even wakes up most days with a ‘morning sa lute!’ like he did years ago. I love it! He’s a sexual powerhouse, beaming with confi dence, and our mar riage is stronger than ever. Karen, here’s why I’m writing you.
