A Syrian rebel official said pro-Damascus Shi'ite militias were obstructing the departure of people from opposition-held districts of eastern Aleppo on Wednesday under a deal that will hand control of the area to the government.
Officials in the military alliance fighting in support of President Bashar al-Assad could not immediately be reached for comment. Assad has been backed by an array of Shi'ite militias from across the region in his campaign for Aleppo.
Sources had on Tuesday given different expected start times for the evacuation. Opposition officials said they had expected a first group of wounded people to leave on Tuesday evening.
A military official in the pro-Assad alliance had said the evacuation was due to start at 5 a.m. (0300 GMT).

Satan Snares Another Soul
Meet the Press: The hustlers, hucksters, hacks and cowards who helped elect Donald Trump
By Rick Perlstein
None I could find, however, mentioned what may become future historians most convincing explanation for Americas fall, should Donald Trump end up her author and finisher: bad journalism.
Americas media establishment endlessly repeated Republican claims that Hillary Clinton was a threat to the security and good order of the republic because she stored official emails on her own server and erased about 33,000 of them she said were private. The New York Times ran three front-page stories about FBI Director James Comeys surprise review of another set of emails found on the computer of Anthony Weiners wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin. This second review, however, like the first, ended up showing no wrongdoing.
The elite gatekeepers of our public discourse never bothered with context: that every secretary of state since the invention of the internet had done the same thing, because the State Departments computer systems have always been awful; that at the end of the administration of the nations 41st president a corrupt national archivist appointed by Ronald Reagan upon the recommendation of Dick Cheney signed a secret document giving George H.W. Bush personal, physical custody of the White Houses email backup tapes so they would never enter the public record. (A federal judge voided the document as arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion and contrary to law.) The White House of his son George W. Bush erased 22 million of its official emails, including those under subpoena from Congress. Newspapers archived by the Lexis-Nexis database mentioned Hillary Clintons 33,000 erased private emails 785 times in 2016. I found six references to George W. Bushs 22 million erased public ones: four in letters to the editor, one in a London Independent op-ed, another in a guide to the US election for Australians and one a quotation from a citizen in the Springfield (Ohio) News-Sun.
And now we have Donald Trump, elected in part because of his alleged tender concern for the secure handling of intelligence, making calls to world leaders from Trump Towers unsecured telephones.

Fossil Fuel Divestments Now Represent $5.2 Trillion
Source: Climate Central News
Investing heavyweights are moving their assets and funds out of fossil fuels at a record pace.
A network of local governments, pension funds, faith organizations, philanthropies and wealthy individuals representing $5.2 trillion in assets have committed to and in some cases already started divesting from fossil fuel companies, according to a report released on Monday.
Thats a huge sum of money for a movement that started just four years ago on U.S. college campuses and its growth is likely to continue as the world strives to reach its climate goals.
Its pretty clear that the growth trajectory is enormous, said Ellen Dorsey, the executive director of the Wallace Global Fund.

The man reported to be Donald Trumps pick for the number two job in the State Department says the election hacks could have been a false flag operation.
John Bolton told Fox News on Sunday that the hacks may not have been carried out by Russia, as the intelligence community believes, but implied the Obama administration itself couldve been secretly responsible.
It is not at all clear to me just viewing this from the outside, that this hacking into the DNC and the RNC computers was not a false flag operation, Bolton told reporter Eric Shawn.
