Input: Also earlier this week, the State Department revealed that it can not find the emails of Bryan Pagliano for the four years that he was employed there. Who is Bryan Pagliano? He is the former information technology expert, employed by the State Department to problem shoot Mrs. Clinton’s entail issues. Pagliano was also personally employed by Mrs. Clinton. She paid him $ 5,000 to migrate her regular State Department email account and her secret State Department email account from their secure State Department servers to her personal, secret, non-secure server in her home in Chappaqua, New York.

Input: We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet,” the anti-secrecy group tweeted. “You proved your point.” Digital security researchers tracking Friday’s attacks advised against jumping to conclusions, arguing that there could be many explanations. Nick Rossmann, senior project manager at FireEye, noted that New World Hackers have a history of falsely claiming attacks against high-profile entities. He also expressed doubt that the group has the capabilities to conduct an attack on such a scale.

Input: The failure to abide by international norms and protections under Israeli law concerning child detainees is particularly worrying given the spike in the number of children arrested during the recent violence involving children. Since October, protests in the West Bank and Gaza have escalated, as has the use of live fire against demonstrators by Israeli forces. There has also been a wave of stabbings and attempted stabbings by Palestinians against Israeli civilians and security forces both in the West Bank and in Israel. As of February 29, 2016, 172 Palestinians and 24 Israelis had been killed, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Of 21 Palestinians suspected of carrying out attacks and killed in 2016, nine were children, according to the UN.

Input: "Our American friends said they'd put pressure on the Kurds to stop the clashes," he told us," but there's no sign that's happened." The glimmer of good news from Syria is that aid convoys carrying food and medicine made it to areas besieged by fighting on Wednesday. One of those towns is Madaya, where there have been reports of people starving to death.

Input: The US Geological Survey estimated there was a 72 per cent likelihood of economic damage exceeding $ 10 billion, adding that it was too early to be specific. Electronics giant Sony Corp said a factory producing image sensors for smartphones will remain closed while it assesses the damage from the quakes. Toyota Motor Corp halted production at three plants which produced vehicles, engines and trans-axles in Fukuoka. Toyota said there was no damage at its plants, but it was checking the status of its suppliers. It will decide on Sunday whether to resume production.

Input: The only people he admires and wishes to pattern his life and leadership after are authoritarian dictators. He has surrounded himself with campaign operatives who are scum sucking propagandists and advisors to the worst African, Middle East, and Russian dictators, oligarchs, and illegal arms dealers to Islamic terrorists, and this is just the stuff we know of. For a man who claims to be for the working stiff, not only does he routinely stiff the small business owners he hires ―- because he can ―- he also hires very few American workers, rather he manipulates the H1B visa law to hire foreign workers to wait tables and manage his few domestic resorts still in operation while he ships all of his manufacturing to foreign countries like Mexico and China.

Input: During the first six months of 2016, Israel razed 91 houses built with “support of the European Union,” up from 70 in all of 2015, he said. The EU has invested € 21 million in the last two years for development and humanitarian aid for Palestinian in the past two years, he added.

Instead, he called the CIA, gave his name and Social Security number, professed his love of America, and said he wanted to expose these criminals." Yes, I was just try to be useful to the U.S. government, because I love that country, and you know I am so proud to be a U.S. citizen," Georgescu told a CIA phone operator in his broken English, according to the transcript."

Input: -- This is happening against the backdrop of rising public support for new laws: 61 percent of Americans now support stricter gun controls in the U.S., according to a new NBC / SurveyMonkey poll, while 38 percent remain opposed. Six in 10 said they support a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons, while 38 percent are opposed. -- The Post’s Fact Checker gives Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) three Pinocchios for his claim that states with “reasonable” firearm limitations have less gun crimes and homicides: The data Murphy was referring to (a 2013 National Journal chart) calculates the number of gun-related deaths by including all gun deaths, including homicides, suicides, accidental gun deaths and legal intervention involving firearms, Glenn Kessler explains. “We removed suicides from the totals and reran the numbers – and in some cases, it made a huge difference. Half of the 10 states with the lowest gun-death rates turn out to be states with less-restrictive gun laws."

Input: Even more serious, we’re now hearing a rising chorus of politicians and pundits calling for a total moratorium on hydraulic fracturing. Fracking is currently banned in the states of Maryland, New York and Vermont, while several hundred municipalities have either prohibited or restricted its use. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders wants to ban fracking nationwide, and in a recent CNN debate, candidate Hillary Clinton stated that “By the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place.” Bill McKibben, a leading environmental activist, not only calls for a ban on fracking but argues that “Coal and oil and natural gas have to be left in the ground. All of them.” What would happen if we actually banned fracking?

Input: You cherrypick what he says and you want to talk about it for days on end with a breaking news tag on it. I do n’t think that counts as breaking news.” Trump was widely criticised for his remarks at the debate, with many commentators saying they were evocative of “tinpot dictators” and authoritarian regimes where political opponents are arrested and incarcerated. Speaking at a rally in Pueblo, Colorado, Clinton assailed Trump’s “scorched earth” strategy as a sign of desperation from a campaign in turmoil. “That just shows how desperate they are,” Clinton said on Wednesday.

Input: WikiLeaks said unspecified “contingency plans” were in place and the site and its Twitter feed appeared to be working as usual. On Tuesday it released another tranche of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, suggesting that the group’s ability to publish has yet to be compromised. The disclosure was the 11th installation in a series of leaks that have captured the workings of Clinton’s inner circle and included excerpts of her well-compensated speeches to investment bank Goldman Sachs. Those leaks themselves are part of a wider cascade that have embarrassed the Democratic Party and which the American intelligence community has recently described as an attempt by the Russian government to interfere in the U.S. election. Staff at WikiLeaks and the embassy either declined comment or did n’t return messages.

Input: In the video, many found Clinton’s tone to be dismissive, especially in contrast to how Sanders handled a similar situation in Seattle in which two Black Lives Matter protesters stormed the stage. Some justify Clinton’s response believing the interruption to be rude and an inappropriate time. But that is precisely the privileged stances that have allowed black people to continue to be murdered and disproportionately incarcerated at the hands of an unjust government and judicial system that does not value their lives. That is a bigger inconvenience. What are we to make of this video, especially when just days earlier Clinton gave a speech in Harlem where she said:

Input: England fans have blamed the heavy-handed tactics of the police for fuelling the violence. Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, who is leading British police's liaison effort, said England fans had been in the city ' without issue ' on Thursday until locals arrived. He said: ' At around midnight, there was a short confrontation where a group of approximately 70 local youths approached a pub where England fans had congregated. ' This was quickly dealt with by French police and one English supporter was arrested. We are aware of no further incidents overnight. '

Input: When asked whom likely voters support for the U.S. House in their district without the interviewers naming any specific candidates, 51 percent picked Republican or leaned that way, while 38 percent picked Democratic or leaned that way. Some of the Ohio demographic groups where Trump has the biggest edge over Clinton are white men without a college degree (+43 percentage points), white men overall (+27 percentage points), and white women without a college degree (+23 percentage points). More than a third of poll participants, 38 percent, say either they or someone in their household has been unemployed because of layoffs or company closings during the past decade or looked for work but been unable to find a job. Within that group, Trump outperforms Clinton 51 percent to 38 percent. “Our party breakdown differs from other polls, but resembles what happened in Ohio in 2004,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, whose Iowa-based firm Selzer & Co. oversaw the survey.

Input: BRENNAN: Well, there are a lot of various means of providing support to the opposition. And given that the opposition is a patchwork of moderates, as well as extremists, as well as terrorists, there is a need to make sure that any type of support that comes from the outside, whether it be from the United States or other countries, is going to support those moderate elements within the opposition, and not the extremists and terrorists. So it is challenging for a number of those outside supporters to make sure that you are able to starve the terrorists, but at the same time, sustain the moderates. KELLY: How good a window does CIA have into what's going on in Syria? And I ask, because as you just alluded to, it is such an extraordinarily complex situation.

Input: The statement said the same group had come to the neighborhood a month earlier and asked a nearby shopkeeper whether foreigners or members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community frequented the cafe. Kiwi Cafe is a counterculture-style gathering place that opened in Tbilisi about a year ago. It is popular with foreigners and employs foreign, English-speaking staff as well as Georgians. On May 29, the cafe was screening English-language episodes of an American animated, sci-fi sitcom called Rick And Morty when the confrontation began. Customers said the group of rowdy Georgian men entered the cafe as the screening was under way, wearing sausages around their necks and carrying slabs of meat on skewers.

Input: But the age of miracles is past. Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, the chairman of the House Select Committee investigating the disgrace at Benghazi and a former federal prosecutor himself, destroyed Mr. Comey’s conclusion that because Hillary meant no harm she should be free of the punishment prescribed for others. “In your old job [as a federal prosecutor],” he told the FBI director at a congressional hearing Thursday, “you would prove intent by showing the jury evidence of a complex scheme that was designed for the very purpose of concealing the public record, and you would be arguing in addition to concealment the destruction that you and I just talked about, or certainly the failure to preserve. Would you argue all that under heading of content — intent? You would also be arguing the pervasiveness of the scheme, when it started, when it ended and number of emails, whether they were originally classified or up-classified, you would argue all of that under the heading of intent.

Input: Clinton has said she supports “comprehensive immigration reform,” and she has vowed that within the first 100 days as president, she would send a plan to Congress that would include “a path to full and equal citizenship” for those currently in the country illegally. She has also said that she would defend Obama’s executive orders that “provide relief from deportation for DREAMers and parents of Americans and lawful residents.” But that’s a far cry from ending “all immigration enforcement” and “open borders.” Clinton’s campaign website says she supports “humane, targeted immigration enforcement.” Specifically, the website says she would “focus enforcement resources on detaining and deporting those individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety.” In her book, Hard Choices, Clinton said she supported the 2013 Senate immigration bill, S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.

Input: Lazar appeared confident and relaxed during the four-minute appearance, telling the court he did not need the translator provided for the hearing. According to the 15-page federal indictment, Lazar "specialized in gaining unauthorized access to the online accounts of high-profile individuals" including Clinton ally Blumenthal, who appears to be identified as “Victim 5 … a journalist and former presidential advisor who was the true owner of an AOL account with subaccounts known to the grand jury.” The indictment went on to note that using his alias of Guccifer on Blumenthal’s account, “Lazar attempted to conceal his identity by accessing the account from a proxy server located in Russia.” In early 2013, news outlets including Russia Today and The Smoking Gun published memos from Guccifer, with excerpts of exchanges between Blumenthal and Hillary Clinton about Libya including details following the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack. In a 2015 prison interview from Romania with reporter Matei Rosca for Pando.com, Lazar told Rosca that," I used to read [Clinton's] memos for six or seven hours ... and then do the gardening."

Input: PARIS-National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden says the exposure of malicious software allegedly linked to his former employer may be a message from Moscow, adding a layer of intrigue to a leak that has set the information security world abuzz. Technical experts have spent the past day or so picking apart a suite of tools purported to have been stolen from the Equation Group, a powerful squad of hackers which some have tied to the NSA. The tools materialized as part of an unusual electronic auction set up by a group calling itself "Shadow Brokers," which has promised to leak more data to whoever puts in a winning bid. In a series of messages posted to Twitter, Snowden suggested the leak was the fruit of a Russian attack on an NSA malware server and could be aimed at heading off U.S. retaliation over allegations that the Kremlin was trying interfere in America's electoral process." Circumstantial evidence and conventional wisdom indicates Russian responsibility," Snowden said.

Input: Referring to the influx of unaccompanied minors, Sanders had this to say: Honduras and that region of the world may be the most violent region in our hemisphere. Gang lords, vicious people torturing people, doing horrible things to families. Children fled that part of the world to try, try, try, try, maybe, to meet up with their family members in this country, taking a route that was horrific, trying to start a new life. Secretary Clinton did not support those children coming into this country.

Input: Email The video, shot by civilians in Daraya between 2014 and late February 2016, includes footage that has never before been made public. It shows scenes of Syrian government forces’ barrel bombs falling and exploding inside the city, interspersed with civilians – including children and the elderly – describing the sheer terror of living under such relentless attacks in a city under siege. “They want to kill me,” a bespectacled young girl with curly hair says when asked about the bombs. In another harrowing scene, an injured young boy lies alongside the corpse of his brother who was killed in a barrel bomb attack, weeping and begging: “My brother, please do n’t leave me.”

Input: The move provoked expressions of disquiet within the Washington ruling establishment. It has grown increasingly concerned about the evident debacle confronting the five-year-old US-backed war for regime change in Syria, which has relied upon Islamist sectarian militias armed and funded by the CIA, the Pentagon and US imperialism’s regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar. In addition to the State Department’s official denunciation of the use of the Iranian base, there has been a rising tide of editorials and news articles indicting the Obama administration for failure to take more aggressive action in Syria, invoking the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo as the pretext for a stepped-up US intervention. Responding to the reports of the Russian air strikes conducted from Iran, State Department spokesman Mark Toner criticized Moscow for a second day Wednesday declaring that the action was “not helpful because it continues to complicate what is already a very dangerous situation in and around Aleppo.” The “complication” which concerns Washington is the stalling of a “rebel” offensive meant to break the government’s siege of eastern Aleppo, where a minority of the population has lived under the rule of the jihadi militias.

Input: The State Department released plenty of emails concerning Bill Clinton during other foreign trips when Hillary and Bill were traveling together, including dining recommendations, travel schedules and records of Bill’s daily activities. And yet there is not a single email in the public Clinton email trove about Bill’s presence in Colombia, the couple’s dinner with Giustra or the fact that Bill and Hillary met separately and back-to-back with Uribe. These omissions could come down to Clinton’s definition of “personal.” Clinton and her team have claimed that the only emails that were deleted pertained to personal matters, or as she put it, “emails about planning Chelsea’s wedding or my mother’s funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends, as well as yoga routines, family vacations, the other things you typically find in inboxes.” But the system by which this sorting took place was highly arbitrary, and was undertaken not by objective government officials but by lawyers and close aides. Keep in mind that those lawyers have used a more expansive term than Clinton to describe what was deleted. They called them “private, personal records.” By this definition, “private, personal records” does n’t just have to apply to wedding planning; that term could involve anything related to the Clinton Foundation or Bill’s commercial activities.

Input: “Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States,” Assange said, “and that our sources face serious risks. That’s why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity.” The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington have not established a motive for the killing but reportedly told the young man’s family that he died during a robbery attempt turned tragic. His father, however, told Omaha CBS-affiliate KMTV he did not think it was a robbery because nothing was stolen: his watch, money, credit cards and phone were still with him. The WikiLeaks founder said that others have suggested that Rich was killed for political reasons and that his organization is investigating the incident.

Input: It is manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The US official told the AP that Lockheed was authorised to export the dummy missile for a Nato training exercise. The official attributed the shipping error to Lockheed’s freight forwarders, and said the US was working with Lockheed to get the device back. The official said the US did not want any defense technology to remain in a proscribed country, whether that country can use it or not. The official said there is greater concern that Cuba could give more technically advanced countries access to the dummy.

Input: -Critics silenced-The editor of liberal Echo of Moscow radio, which has been targeted by Kadyrov's recent rhetoric, said he is seeking to beef up security at the station. Several people who have challenged Kadyrov's grip on power have been killed in the past, including investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya and rights activist Natalia Estemirova. Chechens are also thought to be behind the murder of opposition critic Boris Nemtsov, who was gunned down last February next to the Kremlin. Two suspects are reportedly linked to an armed squad answerable to Kadyrov.

Input: Guests at the May 2015 CGI summit — which was closed to the media — stayed at the five-star Selman-Marrakesh hotel, a posh lodging featuring a stable of Arabian horses and luxury amenities. The meeting was officially paid for by OCP, a Moroccan government-owned mining company that has been accused of human rights violations. Hillary Clinton supported the monarch when she was secretary of state, and the US-financed Export-Import Bank gave OCP a $ 92 million loan guarantee during her tenure, the Daily Caller reported. Politico reported in 2015 that Clinton “was seen by [the Moroccan capital] Rabat as among its staunchest supporters in the Obama administration.” The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice charged OCP with “serious human-rights violations,” the Daily Caller said.

Input: The debt dates to 2013 when Moscow offered the loan to Ukraine under former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russia politician ousted from power during pro-European protests. However, the ministry statement noted that the legal action did not "preclude" talks to negotiate the terms of repayment." The Russian Federation would carefully examine any meaningful proposal from Ukraine and believes that the commencement of legal proceedings does not preclude a constructive dialogue with a view to reaching an acceptable solution," the statement added. Ukraine has struggled with an economic downturn and a conflict against pro-Russia separatists in the country's east. In 2014, Russia annexed the Ukrainian region of Crimea, placing the Kremlin at odds with Kyiv's pro-EU government.

Input: The bill has yet to pass. Among achievements listed in the Sept. 1 document, the Arab Regional Office includes increased advocacy by “Palestinian citizens of Israel,” or PCI, in international forums, challenging Israel’s “racist” policies in the face of its reputation as a democracy. The document advocates the “development of a more organized and efficient PCI advocacy and presence in international forums (UN, EU, US) especially in light of the increasingly limited domestic avenues available for seeking justice. ”“In shifting to international advocacy, PCI’s [sic] are up against Israel and its image as a democratic state before the international community, therefore Palestinian civil society organizations in Israel feel the pressure of filling this gap by strengthening their relations with international actors and systems such as the European Union and United Nations to put their issue on the international agenda,” it says. “There have been a number of successes in challenging Israel’s racist and anti-democratic policies in the international arena and influencing EU-Israel bilateral negotiations,” the document says. The emails were posted in recent weeks by DC Leaks, a group Bloomberg News, in an Aug. 11 report, quoted security experts as saying is likely backed by Russia’s intelligence agencies. Open Society told Bloomberg News that it reported the hacks to the FBI. JTA has submitted a number of queries regarding the hacks to Open Society, which has yet to reply. Former communists in the Eastern Bloc have for years reviled Soros for promoting democracy and free markets in their countries. At the same time some Jewish groups have labeled Soros, a child survivor of the Holocaust, as anti-Israel. The Soros page on DC Leaks’ website, in broken English, notes Soros’ Hungarian Jewish roots. Depicting a sinister-looking Soros presiding over an array of news photos of rioting and violence, it invokes anti-Semitic tropes commonplace in Russia and eastern Europe, describing him as a “vampire” managing “puppets” and “slaves” who “spill blood of millions and millions people just to make him even more rich. ”Soros is a major backer of the presidential bid of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s campaign has accused Russian intelligence of being behind a deluge of recent embarrassing email dumps, and has alleged that Russian President Vladimir Putin is backing her rival, Republican nominee Donald Trump. An Aug. 6, 2015 document details Open Society’s Arab Regional Office funding of civil society groups in Israel since 2001, amounting to $ 9,591,801.

Input: This is perhaps why she is hitting hard and fast in a desperate attempt to paint Bernie Sanders as inept, unintelligent, and unqualified to be President. On the contrary, Sanders warned Congress of the dangers of the Iraq War, which Hillary Clinton supported. Bill Clinton signed into law the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, while Hillary Clinton praised the move. Bernie Sanders warned Congress against repealing it, and his warnings came to fruition in 2008 with the economic collapse. Most recently, Sanders’ warnings against the Panama Free Trade Agreement solidify his record of being right when it matters, and that is what qualifies him to be President of the United States.

It managed to murder 130 people, with suicide bombers exploding their devices around the Stade de France during a football friendly between France and Germany. Abdeslam is currently on remand in a high-security prison in Paris, and has confirmed that ISIS want to attack again, while the eyes of the world are on France during Euro 2016.

Input: Trump’s chief foreign policy adviser, Carter Page, once ran the Moscow office of Merrill Lynch and advised the Russian energy giant Gazprom (in which he still owns shares, Page said in March). Page’s company, Global Energy Capital, continues to work with Russian investments — and Sergey Yatsenko, Gazprom’s former deputy chief financial officer, works for GEC as an adviser. Since both companies have suffered grievously from the sanctions the U.S. and EU imposed against Russia over its annexation of Crimea, Page is a passionate advocate of lifting them — something Trump has said he will consider. On July 7, Page took time off from the Trump campaign to give a speech at Moscow’s New Economic School, where he slammed America’s “often hypocritical focus on democratization” and praised Russia’s policy of “noninterference” and “respect” for its neighbors. “Page toed the [Kremlin] party line,” says one senior Moscow expatriate professional who attended Page’s talk.

Input: "If she were to step down, the nation would allow itself to back down a little bit, and let this investigation run its course, with her not in the lime light and making this such a big big deal," Flynn said." I really do believe that the severity and the number of resources that are applied — despite what the outcome is — I just think the lack of accountability frankly, and a person who should have been much more responsible in her actions as the secretary of state of the United States of America." "Jake, if it were me I would have been out the door and probably in jail," Flynn added. In January, former U.S. attorney Joseph DiGenova told the Washington Examiner that he was told 150 agents were working on the FBI's reported investigation into Clinton's private server that she used during her time as secretary of state, expanded into looking for "public corruption" at the Clinton Foundation in its involvement with the State Department. He said that it was "a very unusually high number" of investigators to be working on a single case.

Hillary is waving in millions from grandiose corporations compared to the students and retirees that are funding Bernie's campaign. The two largest industries Bernie receives money from, are those retired, and those whom are currently students. Hillary's largest donations are coming from Securities and Investment.

Input: Dick Morris, a former top political adviser to Bill Clinton both as governor of Arkansas and as president, noted to WND that education reform “is the key issue Hillary Clinton used to propel herself independently to the forefront of Arkansas politics during Bill’s governorship.” “The revelation of how closely linked her efforts were back in the 80s – and have been since – to an Alinsky radical front group is deeply disturbing and expands our understanding of Hillary’s fundamental radicalism and commitment to the new left of Saul Alinsky,” Morris said. Hillary was said to have met with Alinsky several times in 1968, when she was writing her thesis. In her most recent memoir, Hillary wrote that she rejected a job offer from Alinsky to instead attend law school. The Hillary-Alinsky relationship received more media attention last September, when the Washington Free Beacon uncovered direct correspondence between Clinton and Alinsky from the archives of Alinsky’s IAF.

House Speaker Paul Ryan quickly called your observation “the textbook definition of a racist comment.” What do you think about General and Secretary of State Colin Powell, whose parents immigrated from Jamaica, or former Army intelligence officer, Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leon Panetta, whose family immigrated from Italy? And we all remember you launching your presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists.

Input: All appear to be pre-agreed deals and suggest direct evidence of collusion between the Syrian regime and Islamic State chiefs. For the past 18 months Sky News has maintained contacts with a Free Syrian Army group originally from Islamic State's headquarters in Raqqa, but now living across the border in Turkey. The group operates a network to smuggle defectors away from IS. Some of the defectors openly admit their prior allegiance to the terror group and acknowledge that they only left because of internal disagreements with some of the IS leadership. In reality they remain wedded to the basic tenets of Islamic State: strict Sharia law, a caliphate and on-going war against anyone deemed to be an enemy.

Similar close encounters in Europe’s seas are becoming a regular occurrence; the USS Donald Cook was crowded by two Su-24 aircraft in April in the Baltic Sea. Russia’s Southern Military District did not respond to questions on whether it would be observing the exercise; however, the U.S. Navy in Europe told Newsweek that so far “there have been no signals, sightings, or obstruction from Russian armed forces toward the Sea Breeze participants.”

Input: The fact that the GOP nominee would go on to tell a crowd that, in his original claim, he was “being sarcastic — but not that sarcastic, to be honest with you,” did nothing to reassure some in the party. “It’s almost like he was thrown a lifeline and said, ‘No, I’ll wait for the next one,’” said Jon McHenry, a Republican strategist, referring to the Hewitt interview. “Well if you keep doing that, eventually you drown.” McHenry’s firm, North Star Opinion Research, worked for the campaign of Trump’s primary rival, Florida Sen.

Input: There is some speculation that Israel could be open to increased Russian involvement on the Palestinian track in addition to its work with the Quartet. “We speak for overwhelming and just settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” Putin said. “Active joint efforts, including in the framework of the Middle East Quartet, are in demand now. “Russia is ready to take part in that work,” he added according to Tass. On Wednesday Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov plans to meet with Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki, who will also be visiting Moscow, just as Netanyahu gets ready to fly back to Jerusalem. Regional conflicts, however, were not the only item on Netanyahu and Putin’s agenda. They also discussed increased energy cooperation, with Netanyahu assuring Putin that no legal limitations would be placed on Russian firms wanting to participate in Israeli energy projects. But the two countries remain at odds over Moscow’s ties with Tehran including the shipment of sophisticated weaponry to Iran, a country which has pledged to annihilate the Jewish state. Israel is particularly concerned that Iran is gaining a foothold in Syria. In an interview with the Russian news agency Interfax, Netanyahu said, “We have made a point of staying out of the Syrian conflict, with two exceptions: treating wounded Syrians on a humanitarian basis and preventing Iran from using Syria to attack Israel or to transfer sophisticated weapons to Hezbollah. We don‘t know what will come of Syria, but in any arrangement, it can not be an Iranian base for terrorism and aggression. ”Earlier in the day Netanyahu laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Lone Soldier and helped inaugurate an exhibit at Moscow’s main Manege exhibition hall, “Open a Door to Israel,” on innovation and technology. Among those presenting made-in Israel products is a settler delegation organized by the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea and Samaria.

Input: The Syrian ceasefire is breaking down in Aleppo, as the deal brokered by Russia and the United States shows signs of strain. The breakdown threatens a planned United Nations effort to provide aid to Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, where upwards of 250,000 people are trapped by the hostilities. The below video shows the eerie but anxious calm that fell over Aleppo as the ceasefire began. The Syrian ceasefire began Monday amid high hopes from the international community.

Input: Who the candidates meet also could offer hints about their foreign policy goals — and invite backlash from critics. Clinton's teams said she plans to see Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The meeting with Poroshenko is a signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has invaded Ukraine, of Clinton's pledge to be tough on Moscow if elected. It also would be a veiled slap at Trump, who has spoken kindly of Putin and insisted he would get along with the Russian leader. (Putin is expected to skip the U.N. meeting this year.)

Input: If you judge people by the company they keep, it’s fair to question Hillary Clinton’s commitment to Israel. That’s because one of her biggest money men, George Soros, was just exposed as heavily funding groups dedicated to slurring Israel as “racist and anti-democratic.” Last weekend, Soros’ Open Society Foundations was hacked and its confidential reports published on an anti-Jewish Web site with links to Russian intelligence. The disclosures show Soros gave $ 10 million to groups whose aims include delegitimizing Israel, pressuring governments to sever ties with the Jewish state and attempting to undermine its Jewish character.

Input: Indeed, now Russian propagandists can offer up a narrative that suggests a dangerous quid pro quo narrative, suggesting that the US and Russia are trading war crimes in the region, and to "throw out chaff" and muddy the waters should the international community looks to prosecute Russia and Syria, Smyth added. Gone too far — or not far enough? So, while the US has now entered the murky waters of the conflict in Yemen — where 14 million people lack food and thousands of civilians have been murdered — Schanzer says the US may not have done enough. The Navy "did n’t hit the people who struck them," Schanzer said." They're not looking for caches of missiles, not looking for youth hideouts, not looking to engage directly."

Input: (CNN) Federal investigators tried to warn the Democratic National Committee about a potential intrusion in their computer network months before the party moved to try to fix the problem, U.S. officials briefed on the probe tell CNN. The revelation raises questions about whether the DNC could have done more to limit the damage done by hackers suspected of working for Russian intelligence. The DNC brought in consultants from the private security firm CrowdStrike in April. And by the time suspected Russian hackers were kicked out of the DNC network in June, the hackers had been inside for about a year. A person briefed on the DNC's response says the warning from the FBI and other agencies wasn't specific, and that the extent of the problem wasn't clear when the initial warnings came.

Input: Louisiana itself has the highest rate of new HIV diagnoses in the country for any state, at 36.6 persons diagnosed with the disease for every 100,000 living in the state. The state is second to Washington DC, which has a diagnosis rate nearly double that, at 66.9 diagnoses per 100,000 people. But Louisiana also tops the world with its incarceration rate of 816 people incarcerated for every 100,000 adults in the state, according to the National Institute of Corrections. The national average in the US is 392 persons per 100,000. Louisiana’s incarceration rate tops countries such as Turkmenistan (with a rate of 583 per 100,000) and Russia (with 442 per 100,000), according to the World Prison Brief.

Input: However, that footage appeared to be of the earlier October launch that triggered the U.S. sanctions. U.S. and French officials said a missile test by Iran would violate U.N. Security Council resolution 2231, which calls on Iran not to conduct "any activity" related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. However, Washington said that a fresh missile test would not violate the Iran nuclear deal itself, under which Tehran agreed to restrict its atomic program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. The deal was endorsed in resolution 2231. It is unlikely the Security Council would take action on Iranian missile tests, diplomats say.

The bulging white "suicide belt" with wires sticking out turned out to be a fake.

To lock in great reliance on Russia will fundamentally destabilise Ukraine," Biden said, adding:" Europe needs diverse sources of gas." EU states imported 53 percent of their energy in 2014. A third of gas comes from Russia alone and some newer eastern members are almost entirely reliant on Moscow for energy. The EU has been seeking to reduce its dependence on Russian gas.

Input: The New York Times said Rice had appeared “baffled and annoyed” that the president had been forced to leave Air Force One through a door normally reserved for high-security trips to places such as Afghanistan. In the lead-up to the final meeting between Obama and Xi, experts had predicted the pair would seek to part ways on a positive note with the announcement that the world’s two largest polluters would ratify the Paris climate agreement. However, Obama’s unconventional welcome – and a series of subsequent skirmishes and quarrels between Chinese and US officials and journalists – were a reminder of the underlying tensions. The Washington Post said Obama’s bumpy landing in China was “a fitting reflection of how the relationship between these two world powers has become frayed and fraught with frustration”. “I think this time … maybe the seams were showing a little more than usual in terms of some of the negotiations and jostling that takes place behind the scenes,” Obama admitted on Sunday.

Input: A few tidbits have percolated through the noise, however. The first revolved around portions of Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street banks — the ones Democratic primary challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) pressed Clinton to release for months — in which Clinton claimed to have a “public and private position” on issues facing the U.S., among other revelations. Other items of interest include Podesta’s Center for American Progress advising Clinton against backing a $ 15 minimum wage, coordination between the Clinton camp and journalists, and former CNN commentator Donna Brazile — now interim chair of the Democratic National Committee — emailing Clinton’s communication manager language that later echoed a question in a CNN town hall between Clinton and Sanders. (CNN firmly denies that it shared town hall questions with the candidate in advance.) In truth, this is just a small fraction of the revelations.

Input: The drumbeat has increased in recent weeks as the general election campaign has heated up, with Clinton and Kaine referring to the real estate developer's tax returns constantly on the campaign trail and releasing an online ad Friday highlighting top Republicans’ calls for Trump to release them. In a statement, Trump spokesman Jason Miller, tried to turn attention back to Clinton's email scandal." Hillary Clinton has turned over the only records nobody wants to see from her – the American public wants to see the 33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an FBI investigation," he said. “This document release is nothing more than an attempt at distraction and misdirection by an individual who created and then purged an illegal private email server." The move by Clinton has echoes of President Barack Obama's effort in 2012 to get Mitt Romney to release his tax returns, which Democrats were convinced would play into their effort to paint the former private equity executive as out of touch with common Americans.

The retired rear admiral served as the Navy’s top lawyer while in uniform, and after leaving the military he was dean at the University of New Hampshire Law School. Hutson, a onetime Republican who also spoke at the 2008 Democratic convention, raised Trump’s criticism of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) getting captured in the Vietnam War — saying Trump was n’t “fit to polish John McCain’s boots” — as well as noted that more than 100 Republican national security experts say they oppose the real estate mogul. He made sure to riff off Trump’s past praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, too “Of Vladimir Putin, he said, and I quote, ‘in terms of leadership he’s getting an A,’” Hutson said.

Input: In an interview with Al Mayadeen TV on Monday, Shaaban clarified that the weakness and disarray of the US Administration’s positions, along with its moral degradation even in dealing with the agreements it signs, have reflected on implementing the Russian-US deal on Syria, as the Pentagon did not listen to Obama regarding the agreement, and it was undermined inside the Congress. She pointed out that the recent Russian-US agreement on Syria can not be implemented unless the problem inside US Administration is solved, noting that Russia is in the right because it is committed to agreements and it works against terrorism, while the US discourse contains a great deal of nonsense and inexactitude, adding that the provisions that were agreed on in the Russian-US agreement were not made public; rather what has been announced was just partial matters and not the five documents. She stressed that the Syrian leadership was a main party in the consultations regarding each point in the agreement even before it was written down, adding that the Russian ally differs from the West in terms of respecting the sovereignty of states and allies, stressing that Russia does not agree to any detail regarding Syria before getting the consent of the Syrian leadership.

Input: Remarks That Come Off Well for Clinton There are also sections of the transcripts where I'd argue Clinton comes off in a fairly positive light, even though her campaign seemed concerned about them. At one point she admits she's a bit “out of touch” with the struggles of middle-class families — but, if anything, that suggests encouraging self-awareness. She says that the mere perception that “the game is rigged” in favor of the wealthy is harmful for the country, and that those guilty of wrongdoing need to be “held accountable.” She talks about how the Supreme Court has turned campaign finance into the “wild west,” which suggests she's a sincere critic of Citizens United. Even a seemingly incriminating bit about how Wall Street donors should exercise their power, shared at Goldman Sachs, turns out to be pretty benign on closer inspection:

Input: He also battled to secure public space on the Lake Champlain waterfront when developers wanted to use the land for high-end housing. Almost immediately after being elected in 1981, Sanders declared, “luxury condominiums will not be the priority of this administration.” “We have a city that is trying to help a developer build $ 200,000 luxury waterfront condominiums with pools, and health clubs, and boutiques, and all sorts of upper-middle-class junk five blocks from an area where people are literally not eating in order to pay their rent and fuel bills,” Sanders said. The waterfront park Sanders pushed for was eventually built. In fact, it’s where Sanders stood when he held a rally to launch his presidential campaign last year.

Input: Like California as a whole, Los Angeles has seen a steady drop in unemployment over the last several years. Famous for choking traffic congestion, the city is also in the midst of a historic expansion of its public-transportation infrastructure. Garcetti and other local elected officials are campaigning for a tax measure that would continue to fund the buildout of the city’s rail and bus system begun under Villaraigosa. Yet in other areas the city is struggling, and sometimes losing ground, against intractable urban problems. Just last week — as Trump was warning at his party’s convention of rising violence on America’s streets — the Los Angeles Police Department announced that overall crime was up for the second straight year after decades of decline.

Input: Breaking reports of horror follow one another fast enough to induce a kind of whiplash. Or consider the strenuousness with which each political party now routinely denies that Americans are inherently violent, a refrain that can begin to feel like protesting too much. In his final speech at the Republican National Convention last month, Trump bemoaned the “violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities” but, true to form, laid the blame on hordes of “illegal immigrants … roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens”; “brutal Islamic terrorism”; and the enabling of a Democratic president whom Trump has previously and unsubtly intimated is n’t really American himself. Democrats likewise tend to suggest that, for Americans, acts of violence are an aberration. Announcing a gun safety program in the wake of last December’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, President Barack Obama declared: “We are not inherently more prone to violence.

Input: “Lately, there’s been a mindset in Congress that just about any international treaty is somehow a violation of American sovereignty, and so the Senate almost never approves treaties anymore,” Mr. Obama said. “They voted down a treaty to protect disabled Americans, including our veterans, while Sen. and World War II veteran Bob Dole was sitting right there in the Senate chambers in a wheelchair.” The U.N. treaty to ban discrimination against the disabled fell five votes short in the Senate in 2012. Senate Republicans objected that it would create new abortion rights and interfere with the ability of parents to homeschool disabled children. Mr. Obama also called on the Senate to approve the Law of the Sea Convention, another U.N. treaty governing navigation and other maritime issues.

Input: “If the Trump victory in the primary was n’t enough of one, the Brexit vote serves as a major wake-up call indicating just how frustrated average voters are with those in power,” Mr. DuHaime said. Several Democrats cautioned against drawing too many lessons from the Brexit vote, saying mass immigration and economic malaise were bigger problems in Britain and the European Union than in the United States. They also said many British voters were revolting against a bureaucracy in Brussels that they regarded as bloated, overpaid and prone to interfering in the affairs of sovereign countries.

Sanders talks about supporting women’s rights in the US at the same time he supports one of the world’s worst regime on women’s rights – Saudi Arabia. But since he’s not as much of a hawk as Hillary Clinton, liberals are enthusiastically supporting him.

Input: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military cooperative consisting of 28 countries between North America, South America, and Europe. The stated goals of NATO are to use democratic means to work through struggle and prevent conflict, and, when necessary, to band together in military support of a member country. The treaty compels each member nation to respond in support of another member nation when they are attacked. Though member nations are not required to respond with military force, they must respond in some aid-giving fashion of their choosing, and are compelled by the treaty to do so. In Washington DC in the wake of World War II, 12 countries between North America and Europe signed the North Atlantic Treaty.

All of this traced back to big losses in three real estate partnerships and interest he owed Chase. With Trump sucking wind and rapidly drawing down his line of credit, he turned again to Daddy, who in 1980 agreed to lend him $ 7.5 million. All of these names and numbers can grow confusing for voters with little exposure to the business world. So to sum it all up, Trump is rich because he was born rich — and without his father repeatedly bailing him out, he would have likely filed for personal bankruptcy before he was 35.

Input: The surge in violence came just hours after the US and Russia announced a new ceasefire plan. The airstrikes landed in the rebel-held areas of Idlib in the northwest and Aleppo in the north of the country, according to the monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The worst strikes were in Idlib, where at least 61 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in an attack that targeted a crowded market, an activist who witnessed the bombing and its aftermath told CNN. The activist, who asked to be identified as Omar for security reasons, said he was in Idlib to cover the atmosphere a day ahead of the Eid al-Adha holiday. Omar took a detour to the city since the roads near the markets were closed as a security precaution, and that probably saved his life, he said.

Input: China is constructing a modernized version of the old silk roads, with the intent not only of integrating the region under Chinese influence, but also of reaching Europe and the Middle Eastern oil-producing regions. It is pouring huge sums into creating an integrated Asian energy and commercial system, with extensive high-speed rail lines and pipelines. One element of the program is a highway through some of the world’s tallest mountains to the new Chinese-developed port of Gwadar in Pakistan, which will protect oil shipments from potential U.S. interference. The program may also, China and Pakistan hope, spur industrial development in Pakistan, which the United States has not undertaken despite massive military aid, and might also provide an incentive for Pakistan to clamp down on domestic terrorism, a serious issue for China in western Xinjiang Province. Gwadar will be part of China’s “string of pearls,” bases being constructed in the Indian Ocean for commercial purposes but potentially also for military use, with the expectation that China might someday be able to project power as far as the Persian Gulf for the first time in the modern era.

A Swiss criminal investigation into the pair is ongoing.

Input: And this year's total is higher than the number of firearms-related police deaths in 2015. According to the fund, firearms were responsible for 41 of 123 officer fatalities in 2015, one of the safest years for officers on record. The decade's highest total came in 2011, with 73 officers shot dead. This year's shooting deaths include an officer on her first day on the job and a sheriff's corporal who was about to retire. The most recent shootings happened in Americus, Georgia.

Input: The system then is expected to barrel up the East Coast toward the Mid-Atlantic into the weekend, The Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang reported. The storm is the strongest Caribbean hurricane in nearly a decade and the most powerful to hit Haiti in 52 years, since Hurricane Cleo struck in the same location. In Haiti — where tens of thousands of people still live in tents after losing their homes in the 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000, and where thousands more died in a subsequent cholera epidemic blamed on U.N. peacekeepers — Hurricane Matthew battered coastal shantytowns as it came ashore. At least 11 deaths were attributed to the storm as of early afternoon Tuesday. However, the full extent of the damage and casualties wo n’t be known until the storm passes and relief services arrive.

Input: As diplomats sparred at the Security Council, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu said that Moscow was sending an aircraft cruiser to the Mediterranean to strengthen its capabilities there. The Russians have denied that they were behind the attack on the UN convoy and instead have offered a series of explanations that Kerry detailed at the Security Council meeting .. Russia initially said that the strike was a necessary response to an alleged offensive by an al-Qaeda-linked terror group, Kerry said. Then Russia claimed they were bombing elsewhere, then that the aid convoy had been followed by militants with mortars, and then that the trucks caught fire." The trucks and the food and the medicine just spontaneously combusted," Kerry said.

Input: That view is well expressed by Temple University law professor Peter J. Spiro, whose comment about the 2014 executive order is on point:" The magnitude and the formality of it is arguably unprecedented. It's fair to say that we have never seen anything quite like this before in terms of scale." Congress has passed many laws since 1924 that direct the executive branch and its immigration enforcement agencies like the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its predecessor, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), to deport people found to be here illegally. Never once has it passed a law giving the president authority to defer deportations for millions. It is a matter of scale that has embroiled the president in a lawsuit in which two courts have already ruled against his ability to put into effect what is, in reality, an amnesty program.

Input: A slightly closer read, however, reveals that he is proposing virtually opposite policies toward them. Trump identifies ways in which China is acting against American interests: by running a trade surplus with us, and by expanding into the South China Sea. Trump proposes to “mend” relations with China by standing up to them and forcing them to respect us as equals, after they have supplied unilateral concessions to us. His depiction of American relations with Russia is completely different. Trump does not identify any hostile Russian behavior that must change.

Input: In 2015, more than three people were murdered each week attempting to defend their lands from land grabbing, according to Global Witness. The group estimated that an area the size of Germany has been leased to international investors in developing countries since 2000. The court's decision was sparked by a case filed by a group of Cambodians who alleged that authorities, including the government, military, police and the courts, have been complicit in land grabbing since 2002, which has led to the forced eviction of more than 300,000 people. International legal experts say the court’s widened focus could potentially open up criminal prosecutions for climate change. The ICC was set up in 2002 by governments with the intention of prosecuting individuals for serious crimes where many developing and unstable countries lack the mechanisms to carry out their own trials.

Input: So we will watch closely and hope that goes in the right direction.” Scaparrotti’s comments came amid a widespread crackdown against government opponents in Turkey that followed the military mutiny. During the past two weeks, thousands of military officers and soldiers have been arrested, scores of judges detained and dozens of media organizations shut down. Turkey has long been a difficult but important ally to the U.S. The country is at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, putting it on the front lines of counterterrorism efforts and making it a key player in containing the flow of migrants into Europe.

Input: Adding to the suspicion that the number is even larger, Overton is certain that his tally missed shipments, because the data that the Defense Department made available was incomplete or laden with contradictions that were not readily reconciled. For example, the contracts it released were for more than $ 6.5 million or $ 7 million, depending on the year. Overton suspects that this hides many smaller purchases. And the contract data often labeled purchases vaguely, sometimes making it difficult to determine exactly what was bought, much less for whom. The Pentagon’s data, in short, did not declare much of what the Pentagon actually bought.

Input: Story Continued Below Albright, who served as the nation’s top diplomat under then-President Bill Clinton, says that as someone who has studied Russia, its alleged hacking to influence the 2016 election is "stunning," but that Trump's rhetoric only exacerbates the issue. The Obama administration has publicly accused Russia of using hacked emails to try to influence the election. “I have never seen a mind meld of this kind between the Russian leadership and a candidate for the presidency of the United States,” Albright, a frequent Clinton surrogate, said. “Trump was briefed in his intelligence briefings about what the Russians are doing and he is playing their game instead of being concerned about America’s democratic system.”

Input: We do know that Trump considered Russian oligarchs prime customers for high-end properties. In 2008, he sold a Palm Beach mansion to billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev for $ 95 million. Less than four years earlier, Trump had picked up the property at a bankruptcy auction for $ 41 million — meaning he made quite a tidy profit. Rybolovlev, who was then worth about $ 13 billion, is not believed to be as close to Putin as some of the other oligarchs, but neither is he in any sense an opponent of the regime. Despite earlier claims to the contrary, Trump now says he has never actually met Putin.

Input: He then presented journalists with several boxes of pizza, saying," This is from the U.S. delegation," and two bottles of vodka, adding," This is from the Russian delegation." The Geneva negotiating session, which lasted more than 13 hours, underscored the complexity of a conflict that includes myriad militant groups, shifting alliances and the rival interests of the U.S. and Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran, and Turkey and the Kurds. Getting Assad's government and rebel groups to comply with the deal may now be more difficult as fighting rages around Aleppo, Syria's most populous city and the new focus of a war that has killed as many as 500,000 people. Assad's government appeared to tighten its siege of the former Syrian commercial hub in the last several days, seizing several key transit points. Forty days of fighting in Aleppo has killed nearly 700 civilians, including 160 children, according to a Syrian human rights group.

Input: While holding senior positions throughout his career, Badreddine was most known for his role in leading Hezbollah’s large contingent in Syria, which it sent to defend the interest of the Assad regime as his grip on power weakened in 2012. Hezbollah has since lost an estimated 900 members in fighting across Syria, where along with Iran, it has taken the lead in directing numerous battles. Israel has refused to comment on airstrikes it has previously launched inside Syria. However, unnamed officials have said the strikes had targeted anti-aircraft systems that were allegedly being transferred to Hezbollah. It had also targeted a Hezbollah leader, Samir Kuntar, who had been jailed inside Israel for more than 30 years until his release in 2008.

But, for reasons I’ll go on to explain, he has already discharged his historical mission; his work is done. Trump broke the Republican Party.

Input: At 68 percent, support for the ban was stronger among first generation Americans than the entire electorate (59 percent). Only 22 percent of that generation said they oppose it, compared with 27 percent of all voters. Second generation Americans supported the proposed ban by a 27-point margin (59 percent to 32 percent) and third generation Americans backed it 55 percent to 34 percent. Trump’s call to end “nation-building” was better received by recent immigrants and first generation Americans than the voting electorate as a whole. While about four in 10 voters (42 percent) said they support an end to such operations abroad, nearly five in 10 first-generation immigrants (49 percent) and recent immigrants (47 percent) said they back a more disengaged approach to foreign affairs.

Input: The president said his longtime friend, cellist Sergei Roldugin, who is linked in the papers to $ 2bn in offshore transactions, had done nothing wrong. He said he was proud of Roldugin, whom he called “Sergei Pavlovich”, adding that the musician spent his personal money to advance cultural projects in Russia. Putin said Roldugin spent “almost all the money he earned on acquiring musical instruments from abroad and bringing them to Russia,” Tass reported. He suggested that the Panama Papers were a plot orchestrated by US government officials and spy agencies. He alluded to a tweet sent by the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that mentioned the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), one of more than 100 media organisations involved in the year-long investigation.

Input: The foreign officers where embedded in a militant-held section of Aleppo and could be the real reason for the imminent end of diplomatic cooperation between the US and Russia. As part of an ongoing offensive against militant-held sectors of Aleppo, Russian warships hit a military operations center near the city, killing 30 Israeli, US, Saudi, and British officers who were allegedly offering support and intelligence to ISIS militants in Syria. The strike came following a failed ceasefire in the embattled country, which was ultimately derailed after being violated multiple times by US-backed militant groups, the US, and Israel. Russia’s Sputnik news agency reported the incident citing a battlefield source in Aleppo and other reports confirmed the attack. According to sources, Russian warships fired three Caliber missiles at the operations room, where the officers were gathered, in the Dar Ezza region of Western Aleppo.

Input: The Syrian ceasefire began Monday amid high hopes from the international community. The ceasefire was a coordinated effort between Russia, who backs the Syrian government regime of Bashar al-Assad, and the United States, who back the myriad group of rebel organizations seeking to force Assad out of power. According to al-Jazeera, the Syrian ceasefire applies to all of Syria, with Russia carving out certain caveats, such as retaining the ability to strike groups like the Islamic State and al-Nusra, which have been ruled terrorist organizations by the United Nations. The stated goal of the Syrian ceasefire negotiations was to allow the United Nations to coordinate humanitarian aid to Syrian citizens in Aleppo and elsewhere who have been displaced by the ongoing conflict. The initial cessation of hostilities, which began Monday, was supposed to last 48 hours, which was extended by another 48 hours after the UN deemed the area still too unsafe for aid groups to enter.

The DOJ said the pull-back was required by the Supreme Court’s 2013 ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, which significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act, though some voting rights advocates have called that an unnecessarily conservative reading of the ruling. The OSCE is perhaps best known as an international security organization, but its human-rights arm sends election monitors at the request of member states. The U.S. government has invited OSCE monitors to observe the last three presidential elections, as well as the upcoming one.
