Damian Krasnodebski, a 27-year old
architect from Warsaw who joined last
year, says the force will provide
guerrilla fighters to help deter
potential attackers, particularly
Russia. Poland joined the NATO
Western military alliance in 1999, but
he believes NATO is not enough.
"A guerrilla force is always difficult to
fight against," he told Reuters. "If
there was fighting in Poland, there
would be problems with supply lines,
subversive activity. That's always
difficult for the opposing military."

Poles are not the only people in the
region who are anxious about
Moscow. Baltic states Estonia, Latvia
and Lithuania - all bordering Russia -
have sharply raised their defence
budgets in recent years. They are
among the few NATO allies that meet,
or are close to meeting, the alliance's
target of spending 2 percent of
economic output on the military.
Finland, not a NATO member but also
a European nation bordering Russia,
plans to boost its army with 50,000
troops to 280,000. As of this year, it is
spending additional 55 million euros
($64 million) a year to improve the
army's combat capabilities, including
army reservists.

Macierewicz said Poland took its
operational example from the United
States, where the National Guard
reserve military force is made up
mostly of civilians with part-time
military duties. "We have consulted
repeatedly with Guard officers,"
Macierewicz told public broadcaster
TVP Info in 2016.
So far, Poland's WOT force has only
participated in one major effort: a
search through forests in parts of
Poland for animals that died because
of African swine fever. It's a highly
contagious disease that affects pigs
and wild boar and has been spreading
in eastern Europe in recent years. Recruits enter a truck to go on a shooting range.

Marcin Wierzbicki, a 44-year-old
manager in an energy company, says
that by joining WOT he is following in
the family tradition set by his
grandfathers of defending Poland. He
does not expect to take part in
battles, but to support the operative
army, guard key assets, control road
points and so on.
"Poland will be safer now and in the
future," he said.

Young people who join are
expected to spend at least four
months in training over three
years, including 16 days in basic
training in battlefield readiness,
marksmanship, topography and
first aid. Any holiday trips need
to be cleared with a local unit
commander. In return, recruits
receive a 300 zloty ($80) monthly
stipend as well as education and
training allowances.

Most Poles' main perceived threat
is from Russia, which has built up
significant conventional forces
along its western borders after
annexing the Crimea peninsula
from Ukraine in 2014. Opinion
polls show that since then, as
many as 40 percent of people in
Poland feel their country's
independence may be under
threat.

As Poland prepares to mark the
centenary of its independence this
November, thousands of Poles are
training in all weathers for a part-time
force meant to help defend the eastern
European state from invasion.
More than 12,000 volunteers have
joined the Territorial Defence Forces
(WOT), as well as more than 2,000
professional soldiers. The government
expects to add 10,000 recruits
annually, to reach a total of more than
50,000 by the end of 2021. This year
alone, the defence ministry plans to
spend 568 million zloty ($153 million)
on WOT, nearly as much as on the
navy.

The formation's creators also hope it
will have clear resonance with a Home
Army that fought against occupation
in World War Two, and with later
resistance fighters against
Communism.
Monika Pawlik, a 24-year old town
clerk and young mother, was one of
four women at the training session
last winter. "I wanted to try something
new, and above all I wanted to have
this sense of security," she said. Now
she feels confident about handling
weapons: "I know what to do with
them, I know how to aim."
"If I go for something, I take it to the end... But I'm not doing it
all for myself. I'm also doing this for the baby," Pawlik said.

In February, U.S. President Donald
Trump proposed to deter Russia
with a 30-percent jump in U.S.
military funding for Europe, and
called on NATO allies to follow the

Poland's military planners
launched WOT in 2017, just over a
year after the nationalist Law and
Justice (PiS) party came to power in
October 2015. Its creator, Antoni
Macierewicz, who was defence
minister at the time, argued the
formation was needed because of
a growing threat from Russia and
as a way to bolster declining
patriotism among young people.

"If SQM is extracting more brine than
it is permitted from the Salar, that can
have repercussions on the availability
of reserves in the basin for other
projects,” wrote lawyers for Albemarle
subsidiary Rockwood Lithium Ltd in
the March 2017 filing.
SQM hit back the following month. It
wrote to the regulator saying it was
"outrageous" that Albemarle was
presenting itself as a defender of the
environment when Albemarle had
acknowledged overdrawing water in
2008 and between 2010-2012.
Albemarle declined comment when
asked by Reuters whether that was
correct.

Corfo submitted a new study on
the availability of water in the
Salar to the environmental
regulator in March that found
more water and brine was leaving
the system through pumping and
evaporation than was coming
back in via rain and snowfall.
In the filing, Corfo said, however,
the study couldn't pinpoint which
of the copper or lithium miners
operating in the Salar was to
blame for the imbalance. It said
this uncertainty was reason
enough for regulators to take
steps to restrict extraction.
That process is now underway.
Reuters reported exclusively in
August that Chile's water
regulator was preparing
restrictions on new water rights in
the Salar in part because of
uncertainty over how much
extraction it can support.

Earlier this year, the world's two
biggest lithium producers publicly
celebrated new deals with Chile's
government that will allow them
to vastly increase output of the
ultralight battery metal from the
Atacama, the world's driest desert.
U.S.-based Albemarle Corp and
Chile's SQM operate just 3 miles (5
km) apart in the remote Salar, a
basin in the Atacama that is home
to one of the world's richest
deposits of high-grade lithium.

In celebrating the new contracts, the
two companies said they were
confident they could significantly
boost output without drawing more
than their current quotas of lithium-
rich brine, or saltwater, that has for
millennia accumulated in pools
beneath the Atacama. The rivals said
each had all the brine they needed
for current and future production.
I don't see any issue with our ability
to get (the brine) ... today, tomorrow
and throughout the term of that
agreement,” which ends in 2043,
Albemarle CEO Luke Kissam told
investors in August.
But a Reuters review of filings with
Chile's environmental regulator
shows Albemarle striking a different
tone, expressing concern about how
much brine rival SQM had been
drawing and the impact that could
have on future production from the
area.

Aug.15 , 2018

The true state of the Salar's water supply,
both fresh and saltwater, has become an
obsession of lithium industry watchers
because of the area's huge importance in
satisfying soaring global demand for the
powdery white metal. The area is the
most cost-efficient place in the world to
mine the metal, and both SQM and
Albemarle have staked much of their
future production on the Salar.
In the filings, which have not been
previously reported, Albemarle voices
concern about a 2016 investigation by
Chilean authorities that found over a
period of several years SQM sucked up
more of the lithium-rich brine from
beneath the Salar than its permits
allowed.
In a March 2017 filing, for example,
Albemarle said it was critical for the
authorities to determine how much SQM
had overdrawn because that could affect
the availability of brine for other
projects.

For its part, SQM, controlled by Julio
Ponce Lerou, a reclusive Chilean
billionaire, says it already has all the
brine it needs to produce more lithium.
SQM declined to comment on its water
fight with Albemarle. It said in a
statement to Reuters that its
submissions to the regulator spoke for
themselves. But, it added, “Our
conclusions indicate that neither the
environmental sustainability nor
productivity of the Salar de Atacama are
compromised.”
For Mariana Cervetto, a hydro-geologist
who has reviewed technical aspects of
the case for both Corfo, the state
development agency, and the local
indigenous communities that surround
the Atacama salt flat, questions still
outweigh answers.
"When people ask me, ‘Is the water
going to run out?’ I tell them, ‘The truth
is, we don’t know,” Cervetto said.

Aug.15, 2018

The spat between Albemarle and SQM can be
traced back to 2013, when government
inspectors arrived at SQM's installations and
found something amiss.
Native Algarrobo trees - hardy desert
hardwoods that survive by sending shoots
deep into underground aquifers - were
shedding their leaves and dying.
The 23 dead trees represented one-third of
those SQM had committed to monitor. Like
canaries in a coal mine, the health of the trees
was meant to act as an early warning signal of
water problems. Two years later, more trees
were dying but SQM failed to notify
authorities, according to government
inspection reports reviewed by Reuters.

Meanwhile, SQM has accused Albemarle of
overdrawing brine at its mine and
questioned in a filing whether its rival's
actions could have repercussions on the
availability of brine reserves in the Salar.
Albemarle declined comment when asked
by Reuters whether that was correct.
Hydro-geologists and environmental
chemists consulted by Reuters on the filings
said the back-and-forth between the
miners underscores widespread concerns
over just how much brine is left and how
long it will last. They said the filings show
that neither the Chilean authorities nor the
companies have a clear picture of the
water situation at a time when the miners
have been given the green light to boost
production.

He declined to comment on the
concerns expressed by his company in
the regulatory filings about the area's
water supplies. In one such filing,
Albemarle said its rival's compliance
plan failed to sufficiently address
regulators' concerns and "raises
doubts ... about the sustainability in
time of both companies' operations."
Kissam also said his company was
currently using only the amount of
water allowed by regulators. “We´re
not overdrawing. We´re pumping at
the rates well within our permits,” he
said.

That filing came a month after
Eduardo Bitran, who was then head of
Chile's state development agency,
Corfo, raised similar concerns about
the amount of brine SQM had been
drawing and other infractions. In a
letter to the environmental regulator,
Bitran wrote that SQM's actions pose
a "severe risk" to the ecosystem of the
Salar and its brine reserves.
Chile's environmental regulator has
said SQM made changes to how it
monitors wells without authorization,
making it difficult to track the impact
of SQM's pumping on brine supplies.
SQM has not confirmed overdrawing
brine. But over nearly two years it has
filed four plans with regulators to
bring its operations back into line with
environmental approvals, which,
among other things, specify how much
brine SQM can pump. The first three
plans were returned to SQM by
regulators for further revisions; the
latest, filed in September, has yet to
receive a response.

Lithium analyst Joe Lowry said the filings
had potential implications for the global
production of lithium, which has become
one of the world's hottest commodities.
"The lithium world is on pins and
needles," he said. When it comes to the
Salar, "What is SQM going to be able to
do, what is Albemarle going to be able to
do production-wise?"
In a recent interview with Reuters,
Kissam, Albemarle's CEO, insisted there
was “no question” that there was enough
water in the Salar to maintain lithium
operations. The company can produce
80,000 metric tons of lithium annually in
the Salar - roughly 36 percent of global
demand in 2017 - helped by technology it
has developed that will allow it to extract
more lithium from the same amount of
brine, he said.

Simply getting through the day
is a struggle at the American
Quality Lodge, a low-rent
motel where dozens of people
are living in squalor amid
destruction left by Hurricane
Michael.

Lodge where they continue to

aftermath of Hurricane Michael
in Panama City, Fla., Oct. 16,

Families huddle under makeshift tents and in breezeways strewn with broken
glass and roofing fragments, seeking escape from Florida's midday sun. They
line up in a parking lot for food and water whenever volunteers and church
groups stop by. There's been no power in a week, and the water has been out
for days.
Nighttime means relief from the heat, but also brings the threat of looters.
Residents say people have stolen money, jewelry, food and even rain-soaked
clothes from rooms ripped apart and left open to the elements by Michael.
Oct.16,2018

"Basically, if you were living here before the storm you were homeless. This was our last resort," said
Jeannie Holcombe, who has been at the motel a few months with her husband, Jason. "It's worse now."
Michael's winds of as much as 155 mph (250 kph) ripped much of the roof off the two-story red-brick motel,
which is just miles from the white sands of Panama City Beach. Rain flooded the upper level and dripped
down to the first floor. The place looks absolutely shattered, with tarps strung from the second-floor balcony
providing some shade.
Rooms reek with the pungent smell of wet clothes and perspiration; windows are missing from many.
Long-term residents, who pay out about $180 a week per room, abandoned blown-out rooms for ones with
fewer leaks or doors that will shut. Other people simply showed up from surrounding areas and settled in.
Some asked permission, others didn't.

Joe Donahue, who works for a company that was taking over management of the motel as
Michael struck, has been driving store-to-store in search of supplies water, and feminine
products for the women. He said he doesn't mind people staying there for now.
"I have no place to send them because everything is booked," he said. "It's a nightmare."
Vicki and her husband Wes Allen are stuck at the 135-room motel with their three children,
including 17-year-old Allison Allen, who is seven months pregnant. Someone pilfered $21
that was set aside for her unborn daughter, they said.
"It's not like it's a huge amount of money, but that would have been a couple outfits for
her," said Allison, whose twin sister Kristin is also at the motel along with their older
brother, Wes Allen Jr.
Residents credit their father with risking his life to rescue 10 people during the worst of the
storm, helping them leave rooms torn to shreds by the wind.
Four family members sometimes use wheelchairs because of back problems. The sidewalks
and walkways littered with storm debris make it hard for them to get around. The grassy
courtyard is filled with sticky tarpaper from the roof, shattered lumber, empty drink cans
and bed linens blown outside by Michael.

After getting permission from the Holcombe couple, Bill Yourn resorted to salvaging pennies from the
floors and drawers of their shattered rooms. He had to climb through a broken window and walk across
a soggy floor littered with shards of glass and personal items like deodorant, hair care products and
clothes.
"Life's not great," he said after eating lunch: a can of tuna scooped with a borrowed spoon.
The water came back on a couple of days ago, providing a morale boost, and utility crews are installing
new power poles just across the street. But Donahue said the motel is so badly damaged, it wouldn't be
safe to turn on the power even if electricity were available.
Residents say police and firefighters have been by to make sure the people are safe, but these survivors
say they didn't bother to report any of the looting at the motel, because the first-responders seem so
busy.
Someone from FEMA also visited, they said, but no one has offered them any better alternatives yet.
And so they sit, most without transportation and many without phones for communication, waiting for a
fresh delivery of food and water. Some trade cigarettes for other items. One man filled an inflatable
kiddie pool, shaped like a pirate ship, to provide a place for youngsters to play.
From her wheelchair, Vicki Allen considered their fate.
"Six days after Michael came through and tore up everything, we're still here," she said.
The hero of the American Quality Lodge, the man who plucked vulnerable residents to safety during
Michael, chimed in.
"We can't stay here like this too much longer," said Wes Allen, 48.

Record-breaking
temperatures in San Diego
this past summer and the
warming of the ocean off the
California coast provided a
feeding ground for the
bluefin, which can sell for
hundreds of thousands of
dollars. In early January, an
890-pound bluefin fetched
$323,000 at the Tsukiji fish
market in Tokyo.

Overfishing of bluefin tuna
spurred by a growing global
appetite for sushi resulted in a
critical decline in stocks over
decades. But measures by the
United States, Japan, Mexico
and others to limit their take
have led to population growth,
though tuna populations are
still below historic levels.

The Center for Biological

that the Pacific bluefin had
been overfished to less than
3 percent of its historic
population. The National
Marine Fisheries Service
announced in October 2016
that it was considering listing
the Pacific bluefin, but it
subsequently concluded that
protections were not
warranted. REUTERS/Don Orr
