MOSCOW nike air max 180 online , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has sent a letter to United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura, asking for his assistance to increase humanitarian aid to Syria.

"The Russian side continuously provides humanitarian and medical assistance, demines the liberated territories and solves many issues related to restoring a peaceful life," said Shoigu, according to a statement issued by the Russian Defense Ministry on Monday.

But in order to return hundreds of thousands of refugees to their homes as soon as possible nike air max 270 online , Syria needs consolidated efforts of the entire international community, he said in the letter.

Shoigu recalled that the Syrian government troops with the support of the Russian Air Force have liberated a significant part of Syria from terrorists, creating conditions for the restoration of a peaceful life.

However, according to him, not all Syrians are able to return to their homes quickly as terrorists have destroyed many settlements.

Thousands of houses nike air max 90 online , schools, medical institutions and other social infrastructure are in ruins, the statement said.

More than 1,000 tons of food and over 80 tons of medicine are acutely needed today, Shoigu said.

According to earlier reports on Monday nike air max 95 online , Russia will send 175 demining engineers to defuse mines in Syria's Deir al-Zour.

The first detachment of 40 deminers has already been deployed to Russia's Hmeimim air base in Syria.

Meanwhile, Syrian government forces and U.S.-backed militias converged on the Islamic State in separate offensives against the militants in the eastern Syrian province of Deir al-Zour on Sunday.

BERLIN, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The far-right German National Democratic Party (NPD) has caused outrage on Friday by using Martin Luther in election advertisements.

Less than two weeks before Germans elect a new federal parliament (Sept. 24) nike air max 98 online , the party fitted posters using a famous image of the Protestant reformer created by Lucas Cranach in 1528 with the slogan "I would vote for the NPD".

Christian Beuchel, superintendent of the Lutheran Church in Wittenberg, reacted with disgust to the campaign stunt. Beuchel was "shocked and appalled" that a party which he described as inhumane would "abuse" the image.

Confronted with such criticism, the NPD referred to a statement on its webpage written by party leader Ronny Zasowk.

"Luther would defend our occidental identity" it read, reiterating that "Martin Luther would vote for the NPD today!" A NPD employee working in the production of the image further expressed his view that it was necessary to "provoke a little bit" in election campaigns.

The Luther Memorial Foundation which owns the original portrait announced that it was taking legal action against the NPD to have the illegally-used images removed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 (Xinhua) -- New research suggests that the strength of a country's government plays a vital role in preventing violence at a time when climate change is expected to lead to more violence related to food scarcity.

""We've already started to see climate change as an issue that won't just put the coasts under water, but as something that could cause food riots in some parts of the world nike air max 1 online ,"" said Bear Braumoeller, co-author of a study published in the Journal of Peace Research and associate professor of political science at the Ohio State University.

Knowing that ""climate-induced food scarcity is going to become an increasingly big issue,"" Braumoeller conducted the study, titled ""Food scarcity and state vulnerability: Unpacking the link between climate variability and violent unrest,"" with his former doctoral students Benjamin Jones nike air max 97 online , now at the University of Mississippi, and Eleonora Mattiacci, now at Amherst College.

As extreme weather such as droughts and floods could hurt agricultural production in some countries, leading to violence there or elsewhere by people who are desperate for food, the researchers estimated the effects of food insecurity and state vulnerability on the occurrence of violent uprisings in Africa for the years 1991 to 2011 nike air vapormax online , and used a variety of measurements for both food shocks that lead to violence and to gauge the vulnerability of countries.

For the climate-related causes of food shocks, the researchers analyzed rainfall, temperature and the international prices of food, including sudden increases in prices.

""We recognized that countries that imported food could be impacted by climate shocks in other parts of the world that suddenly increased prices, even if they weren't experiencing any significant weather impacts themselves nike epic react online ,"" Braumoeller said.

When examining countries' vulnerabilities, the researchers analyzed a host of factors including a country's dependence on agricultural production, its imports, the s.
