Venezuela: U.S. denied airspace permission to presidential plane

By Catherine E. Shoichet and Elise Labott, CNN
September 20, 2013 -- Updated 0558 GMT (1358 HKT)
Venezuelan acting president Nicolas Maduro clenches his fist after he was sworn in, in Caracas, on March 8, 2013.
Venezuelan acting president Nicolas Maduro clenches his fist after he was sworn in, in Caracas, on March 8, 2013.

(CNN)www.cnn.com -- Venezuela accused the United States on Thursday of denying President Nicolas Maduro's plane permission to enter U.S. airspace -- a claim that a State Department official denied.
Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said U.S. officials have blocked plans for Maduro's presidential plane to fly through Puerto Rican airspace on the way to China.
He described the move as an aggression and called for an explanation from the U.S. State Department.
A senior State Department official told CNN that Jaua's claim was untrue, saying that the Venezuelans have, in fact, been approved to clear U.S. airspace.
In remarks broadcast on state television, Maduro called the situation "a serious offense."
The Venezuelan president vowed to take action, adding that the United States had also denied visas for several members of his country's delegation scheduled to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
"If I have to take diplomatic measures against the U.S. government, I will take them to the most drastic level if it is necessary, but I am not going to accept any type of aggression," he said.
The State Department official also called the visa issue untrue, saying the United States had approved them.
Maduro is scheduled to travel to China on Saturday. Jaua said officials were evaluating alternate routes so that the trip could continue as scheduled.
Maduro accused U.S. officials of being nervous about his country's growing relationship with China.
"The United States government is not going to stop our trip," Maduro said.
U.S. officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

William Ruto trial: Kenyan's fears over witness claims

The remains of a church burnt in 2008  
Witness 536 survived when this church was set on fire, killing about 36 people
A Kenyan woman says she fears for her life after being wrongly identified as a prosecution witness in the International Criminal Court (ICC) trial of Deputy President William Ruto.
Rahab Muthoni has asked for police protection after her photo was circulated on social media.
The court ordered that the identity of the first prosecution witness be protected for her own safety.
Mr Ruto denies organising violence after the December 2007 elections.
He is charged with crimes against humanity over the violence, in which some 1,200 people died and 600,000 were forced from their homes.
ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has previously complained that witnesses are being intimidated, leading some of them to withdraw from the case.
Hidden identity On Wednesday, ICC judge Chile Eboe-Osuji warned that anybody revealing the identity of witnesses, or threatening them, would face prosecution.
He was speaking after being told that bloggers were circulating the name and photo of a woman said to be the first witness.
The photo was of Ms Muthoni but a different name was used.
Ms Muthoni lives in Eldoret, Mr Ruto's home town.
She is understood to have been a victim of the post-election violence in which people were attacked and killed because of their ethnic origin.
The first witness at The Hague gave evidence from behind a curtain and with her face pixelated and voice distorted on the court video.
She is being referred to as witness 536.
Kenya's Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed says President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto should not face trial
The BBC's Odhiambo Joseph says the ICC proceedings are being closely followed in Kenya but are dividing the country along political and ethnic lines.
Mr Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta were elected in March.
They used their prosecutions by the ICC to bolster their campaign by portraying them as foreign interference in domestic affairs.
Mr Kenyatta, who denies similar charges, is due to go on trial in November.
Radio executive Joshua arap Sang is standing trial alongside Mr Ruto - he too has pleaded not guilty.
Our reporter says that the ICC does have jurisdiction in Kenya, but the situation is complicated as it relies on political goodwill.
Furthermore, parliament recently voted to withdraw from the ICC, which would end the court's jurisdiction in the country.
Witness 536 broke down in court during her testimony on Tuesday.
She is said to have survived the attack on the Kiambaa Church in which about 36 people were burnt to death.
She is a member of the Kikuyu ethnic group, who were targeted by Mr Ruto's Kalenjin community, allegedly at his behest.
Mr Ruto is the first serving official to appear at the ICC.

Assad: Syria needs one year to destroy chemical weapons    www.bbc.co.uk

Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. 

President Assad says he will "get rid" of Syria's chemical weapons - Clips courtesy Fox News
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said he is committed to a plan to destroy his country's chemical weapons but warned it could take about a year.
Speaking to Fox News, Mr Assad again denied claims that his forces were responsible for a deadly chemical attack near Damascus on 21 August.
The Syria disarmament plan was unveiled by the US and Russia last weekend.
The West wants the deal enshrined in a UN resolution backed by the threat of military force, but Russia objects.
Damascus - backed by Moscow - has insisted that rebel forces carried out last month's attack in the Ghouta area.
In a separate development, fierce fighting has been reported between two rebel groups in the north of Syria.
Activists said the fighting began when jihadists from the al-Qaeda-linked group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), and fighters from the Western-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) clashed in the town of Azaz, near the Turkish border.
This is believed to be one of the biggest confrontations so far between the jihadists and the FSA.
'Listen to your people' Referring to the issue of destroying Syria's stockpiles of chemical weapons, Mr Assad said it was "a very complicated operation, technically".
"And it needs a lot of money, some estimates (say) about a billion.

Syria's chemical weapons

  • CIA believes Syria's arsenal can be "delivered by aircraft, ballistic missile, and artillery rockets"
  • Syria believed to possess mustard gas, sarin, and tried to develop VX gas
  • Syria has agreed to join Chemical Weapons Convention; it signed Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention in 1972 but never ratified
Sources: CSIS, RUSI
"So it depends, you have to ask the experts what they mean by quickly. It has a certain schedule. It needs a year, or maybe a little bit more."
And when asked whether he would be willing to hand over chemical weapons to the US, President Assad said: "It needs about one billion. It is very detrimental to the environment. If the American administration is ready to pay this money and take the responsibility of bringing toxic materials to the United States, why don't they do it?"
'Very serious' Mr Assad also used the one-hour interview recorded in Damascus to criticise the US stance in the Syrian crisis.
Unlike the Russians, he said, Washington had tried to get involved in Syria's leadership and governance.
He argued that if there was mutual respect, there would not be any problems.
"Listen to your people. Follow the common sense of your people," he said, in an apparent reference to US President Barack Obama.
Mr Assad's comments come shortly after a senior Russian diplomat said Damascus would fulfil its commitment to eliminate its chemical weapons by mid-2014.
After talks in Syria on Wednesday, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said President Assad was "very serious" about the disarmament plan.
Mr Ryabkov also said that Syrian officials had handed him "material evidence" that showed the rebels were involved in the sarin attack last month, contradicting claims by the US that the regime was responsible.
And the Russian diplomat criticised the United Nations for being "one-sided" in its recent report on the attack - a claim the UN denied.
The report - prepared for UN weapons experts after a visit to Syria - did not apportion blame for the 21 August attack.
German chemical exports Meanwhile Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has said in an interview on German television that chemicals exported to Syria which were capable of being used to make poison gas were used for civilian purposes.
The German government, responding to a request from a member of parliament, said 137 tonnes of two substances capable of being used to make the poison gas, Sarin, were exported to Syria between 2002 and 2006.
But she added that officials were still trying to ascertain what use was made of chemicals exported after 2006 and before May 2011, when Germany imposed strict controls on exports to Syria.
More than 100,000 people have been killed since Syria's civil war began in early 2011, according to the UN.
Millions have fled the country and millions more have been left homeless.

It has been confirmed that champions Rayon Sports will play all their home league matches in Kigali. Times Sport/P. Muzogeye

DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Rayon Sports will play all their home league matches for the 2013/14 season in the City of Kigali, according to club chairperson Abdullah Murenzi.
Speaking to Times Sport early this week, Murenzi, who is also the Mayor of southern district of Nyanza, said the decision was taken because Nyanza stadium does not meet the minimum standards.
The seven-time Rwandan champions had last September relocated back to their roots in the Southern Province after spending 26 years in Kigali.
“At the moment, our field is not in good condition which is why we requested Ferwafa (local football governing body) to allow us play next season’s league matches on better pitches in Kigali, and we believe it will not affect the players and fans as well,” he noted.
He said they hoped this would not affect the team’s performance on the pitch, adding that Rayon players were in great spirits ahead of the new season which gets underway on September 28.
“The team has everything it to compete at the top level, players are in very good condition and happy,” said Murenzi, adding that the players now get their salaries on time as opposed to yesteryears.
The Nyanza-based side begins its league title defence on September 28 against newly promoted Gicumbi FC, who are coached by former Rayon player and coach Jean Baptiste Kayiranga, at Amahoro stadium.
Record 13-time league champions APR will kick off the season against Marines FC at Stade de Kigali, while Police, first runners up in the last two seasons, will be up against another newly promoted side Esperance FC at Kicukiro ground.
Also on the opening weekend, Etincelles will host Espoir at Umuganda stadium in Rubavu, AS Muhanga host Mukura in Muhanga; Amagaju will face the 2013 Peace Cup winners AS Kigali at Stade de Kigali while will Musanze host SC Kiyovu.
