Europol banding together to fight Daesh <\/em><\/p>\n

Europol has launched a new counterterrorism centre<\/a> in the wake of the Paris attacks. In anticipation of more terrorist attacks occurring across Europe, the new centre will allow EU member states\u2019 law enforcement agencies to pool resources in order to increase information sharing and operational coordination. Europol\u2019s Director, Rob Wainwright, launched the centre at the same time as launching the new Europol, \u2018Changes in modus operandi of Islamic State terrorist attacks<\/a>\u2019. Catch up on the report\u2019s key points here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Present and future jihadist threats<\/em><\/p>\n

The Institute for the Study of War and the Critical Threats Project have released the first of a series<\/a> of joint reports on Daesh and al-Qaeda. The reports will share the findings of an assessment of the threat posed by the two groups, and to evaluate possible strategies for defeating them. The first report makes the case that Salafi-jihadist groups like Daesh are a substantial threat, not only because they make direct attacks, but because they \u2018accelerate the collapse of world order\u2019. The authors also argue that Jabhat al Nusra (the Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate group) is likely to be a \u2018significant long-term threat,\u2019 given the group\u2019s exploits during the Syrian civil war.<\/p>\n

US warns oil transports before strikes<\/em><\/p>\n

In the campaign to destroy Daesh\u2019s oil trade, US airstrikes have been targeting oil trucks for some time. However, since the trucks can be operated by civilians, US Air Force planes sometimes drop Arabic-language leaflets ahead of the strikes to reduce civilian casualties. An article at War is Boring<\/em> looks at the content<\/a> of some of those leaflets, which are produced by US Central Command.<\/p>\n

French border security<\/em><\/p>\n

A VICE News report examines<\/a> conditions in the \u2018Jungle\u2019 migrant camp in northern France as part of its Breaking Borders<\/a> dispatches series. Many of the refugees living there intended to reach the UK, but have set up camp in Calais. The report follows last Saturday\u2019s events<\/a>, where a large activist demonstration took place in the area and a group of migrants stormed the local port to board a passenger ferry bound for the UK.<\/p>\n

Daesh\u2019s booming passport industry<\/em><\/p>\n

The French Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, has revealed<\/a> that Daesh has established a \u2018real fake document industry\u2019 and has urged for the creation of a special taskforce to identify and seize fake passports<\/a> from potential terrorists entering Europe who are posing as migrants. With thousands of people arriving at European borders each day in the unprecedented migration crisis facing Europe<\/a>, border authorities across Europe are struggling to the fraudulent passports.<\/p>\n

Prize money <\/em><\/p>\n

The winners of the US\u2019 National Disaster Resilience Competition<\/a> were announced this week. The 16 month-long competition, run by the Department and Urban Development, offered US$1 billion<\/a> in grants to states and cities that had been affected by natural disasters between 2011 and 2013. The initiative was designed to encourage resilience-focused policy<\/a> and the principle of \u2018building back better\u2019. 13 winners<\/a> were chosen, including in New York City, New Orleans, California, and Virginia, based on funding proposals outlining how they would counter the threat posed by climate change.<\/p>\n

Bracing for El Ni\u00f1o<\/em><\/p>\n

The Global Resilience Partnership<\/a> has been discussing the projected impacts of the current El Ni\u00f1o on vulnerable communities around the world. The initiative, convened by the Rockefeller Foundation and USAID, is collating a range of articles<\/a> on disaster mitigation, community resilience and international aid in the face of climate change.<\/p>\n

Fire resilience<\/em><\/p>\n

Following on from Australia\u2019s bushfires this holiday season, this Sydney Morning Herald <\/em>article<\/a> discusses the government assistance being provided to expedite the reconstruction of houses lost in Wye River and Separation Creek. Similarly, the CSIRO Blog posted this article<\/a> on the importance of national fire resilience. It emphasises that Australia\u2019s bushfire risk is likely to continue increasing and as such, adaptation measures such as building protocols and landscape design must be implemented in susceptible areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
