We need international support to Iraq to continue. The delivery of these jets by the US shows the international trust in the Iraqi air force and army, that they are achieving victory in the fight against terrorism.

Without trust, these modern jets would not have been delivered to Iraq," Abadi said. US Ambassador Stuart Jones did not hide his concern regarding the use of these jets in any potential Iraqi civil war. He said that Iraq would be subjected to international sanctions if it violated the international agreements that involved the delivery and usage of these jets.

 Donnie: Brics countries launch new development bank in Shanghai 21 July 2015

Donnie: The Brics group of emerging economies on Tuesday launched its New Development Bank (NDB) in Shanghai. The bank is backed by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - collectively known as Brics countries.

The NDB will lend money to developing countries to help finance infrastructure projects. The bank is seen as an alternative to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, although the group says it is not a rival.

"Our objective is not to challenge the existing system as it is but to improve and complement the system in our own way," NDB President Kundapur Vaman Kamath said. The Brics nations have criticised the World Bank and the IMF for not giving developing nations enough voting rights.

 The banks is expected to issue its first loans early next year. China biggest contributor The opening comes two weeks after the last Brics summit in the Russian city Ufa, where the final details were discussed.

At the time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the five countries "illustrate a new polycentric system of international relations". The bank is to start out with a capital of $50bn (£32bn) though the amount is to be doubled in the coming years.

The biggest contributor will be the world's second largest economy China, which also led the establishment of another new international bank, the Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Development Bank.

The NDB is to be headed by a rotating leadership with the first president, Mr Kamath, coming from India. It was first proposed in 2012 but protracted negotiations over headquarters, management and funding have long delayed the actual launch.

 Donnie: Jul 21 2015 more articles from Zawya Iraq MPs set to approve anti-money laundering law

Donnie: Iraq is stepping up efforts to curb money laundering and terrorism financing. Iraq's parliament is expected to soon endorse a new law that aims to combat money laundering and terrorism financing, the government's economic adviser said.

 Mazhar Mohammad Saleh told TR Zawya that the draft law, which was approved by the cabinet in June, would be more inclusive than a 2004 law that was drawn up by the Coalition Provisional Authority.

He said the new law would cover tax evasion, smuggling of antiquities and cash as well as corruption.

"The new law will draw additional policies, legislations and procedures to chase and trace money and smugglers through a national council," Saleh said. "It will also meet Iraq's financial interest and open the way for the country to conduct economic activities at the international level," he added.

 "Between 3-5% of Iraqi GDP has been lost due to smuggling during the past 10 years as a result of money laundering." The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) said in June that Iraq has not made sufficient progress to stem money laundering and terrorism financing.

It said Baghdad needed to adequately criminalise such acts, establish a legal framework for identifying, tracing and freezing terrorist assets, establish effective customer due diligence measures and a financial intelligence unit, introduce suspicious transaction reporting requirements and put in place a supervisory and oversight program for all financial sectors.

"Punishments imposed under the old law were ridiculous, with those convicted of money laundering facing no more than four years in jail," said legal expert Tariq Harb.

The draft law is being introduced at a time when global efforts are being exerted to cut off the funding of militant group Islamic State, which has taken control of large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and whose main sources of revenue include bank looting and extortion, control of oil fields and refineries and cash smuggling.

The Iraqi government and several global financial institutions have taken steps to pre

Donnie: Building confidence Naim Khudair, director general of the Anti-Money Laundering Office at the Central Bank of Iraq, said the government had pledged to pass new legislation for anti-money laundering and terrorism financing by October 2015. "

There are instructions to give special importance to monitoring bank transactions by politicians and their families in addition to monitoring their dealings in real estate and gold," Khudair said. Central Bank Governor Ali Al Allaq said the new law would help reassure foreign investors.

"The new law will facilitate the entry of big companies into Iraq and increase their confidence in the country's economic environment," he said.

The deteriorating security situation, poor governance and inconsistent regulations have kept Iraq at low ratings of global rankings for doing business, according to the World Bank.

 Mithaq Al Hamidi, a member of parliament's economy and investment committee, said that while it would prove difficult for Iraq to recover smuggled funds, the new law would have a greater impact in preventing illegal transactions.

 MP Najeeba Najeeb, another member of the committee, said that the new draft law was backed by all political parties. But she said that more cooperation between the executive, legislative and judiciary branches were needed to tackle corruption and money laundering.

chattels: ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — At least 200 ISIS militants launched a large-scale midnight assault on the Peshmerga frontlines on the Bashik front between Erbil and Mosul, a Peshmerga official at the scene told Rudaw Tuesday morning.

“An estimated 200 militants attacked the Peshmerga frontlines on the Bashik front. Clashes stretched across different areas on the font and lasted till dawn,” Captain Aziz Ahmed, a Peshmerga commander, said. “Three ISIS militants were killed, and the Peshmerga did not suffer casualties.”

“ISIS leaders were putting pressure on the militants to advance into the Peshmerga stockades, but their militants were saying on the phone ‘we cannot advance, because they [Peshmerga] will not allow us and their frontlines are well fortified,” Ahmed claimed.

He added this intel came after a wireless device from one of the dead militants was left behind. “ISIS prepared a vehicle bomb equipped with bombs and ammunition to target the Peshmerga, but they failed to do so,” he continued.

Donnie: Chinese firms bag 1401 contracts worth $37.6bn along Silk Road in H1 2015 July 21, 2015, 10:31 am

[02:54:45 PM] Donnie: Chinese companies have signed 1,401 project contracts worth $37.6 billion in countries along its Silk Road initiative in the first half of this year, nearly half of combined overseas contract value, according to official data released on Tuesday. The contracts were worth $37.6 billion, up 16.7 per cent year on year, and accounting for 43.3 per cent of contracts in the period, Shen Danyang, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) spokesman, said. 

Chinese companies signed overseas project contracts worth $86.7 billion in the first six months, representing an increase of 6.9 per cent year on year, he said. In March this year, China’s President Xi Jinping said he hoped its annual trade with the countries involved in Beijing’s plan to create a modern Silk Road would surpass $2.5 trillion in a decade. 

Under the so-called “One Belt, One Road” initiative, China aims to create a modern Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road to boost trade and extend its global influence. Hungary last month signed an agreement with China officially joining Beijing’s ambitious Silk Road network. 

Hungary becomes the first European country to join China’s “One Belt, One Road” project. The Silk Road could be the second China-led project in recent months to attract a flurry of EU participation. Russia has already promised to link its new Eurasia Economic Union with China’s Belt and Road.
