Input: Only Russia and Iran can be trusted to honestly and effectively assist Iraq in its targeting and destruction of the ISIS mercenaries, for they are the only countries who have a hatred for them and have n’t used them in previous military secret operations, as the U.S. had in the 1980’s against Russia in Afghanistan. How do you analyze the Turkish stance claiming the right to be involved in Mosul offensive? The Turkish claim to have a right to be involved in the Mosul offensive is a dishonest claim, since Turkey has been financing the ISIS forces through oil smuggling and other human trafficking operations in Syria. Russia has exposed this, and President Vladimir Putin has clearly shown this in the Russian intelligence exposing the Turkish, Saudi, Israeli, Persian Gulf states, and U.S. funding through Swiss Banks such as Union Bank of Switzerland — which was also confirmed by WikiLeaks cables from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and Central Intelligence Agency, and Britain’s MI6. Turkey’s real agenda is to carve out an area of Iraq that it can use to target Kurds and confiscate land belonging to Iraq and Syria -- all in the name of "countering ISIS”.

Input: “Reducing taxes will cause new companies and new jobs to come roaring back into our country.” He repeated his campaign promises to block new free trade deals and possibly renegotiate existing ones, another area of concern for America’s partners. Those treaties, he said, “strip this country of its jobs and strips us of our wealth”. Populism was weaved through the address. “Every action I take, I will ask myself: does this make life better for young Americans in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Ferguson who have as much of a right to live out their dreams as any other child America."

Input: In the July interview, the New York Times’s David Sanger asked Trump if he would defend our allies in NATO and East Asia. Trump said he was n’t sure, that he would only be certain to defend countries that he thought had paid the United States enough money. “If we are not going to be reasonably reimbursed for the tremendous cost of protecting these massive nations with tremendous wealth … then yes, I would be absolutely prepared to tell those countries, ‘Congratulations, you will be defending yourself,’” Trump told Sanger. This is classic Trumpism. Throughout the campaign, he repeatedly insisted that American alliances do n’t help the United States that much, that America is owed much more from its allies than it receives.

Input: Later (and sparse) press coverage indicates that as a courtesy to Secretary Clinton, she was given the oath privately. Whether she was properly placed under oath, as well as whether the statements the Republicans are calling into question are material, will be set aside for purposes of my discussion, for two reasons. First, these are technicalities and it is clear from the record that she did not lie to the committee, so the technicalities of perjury can be passed over, and secondly because Secretary Clinton is also charged with violation of the false statement statute, which does not require an oath, and some of the other niceties of perjury, I will keep the focus on the truthfulness of her testimony. To prove perjury, it should be noted however, requires showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the statement was made with “willful intent” and the speaker knew the statement was false. It is not perjury or a punishable false statement when the testimony results from “confusion, mistake or faulty memory.” Inconsequential inconsistencies or conflicts in testimony do not constitute perjury or false statements.

Input: Firs, the "treason" charge is absurd to the point where even Vox's Dylan Mathews had to explain that Trump's comments clearly did not warrant such a charge. According to Mathews, there are two types of prosecutions for treason:" Aid and comfort," where the individual provides aid to "a country presently at war with the United States." "Levying war," where the individual is literally waging war against a state or federal government. Not only is Trump, of course, not waging war against a state or the federal government, the U.S. is not currently "at war" with Russia.

Input: And empowered Trump, the only politician who has refused to be cowed by the epithet. Practically, I think people who support Trump on these grounds are off base in many directions. For one thing, they’re too late; the demography of the country has probably already shifted too far to make restricting immigration, or winning elections on such a platform, possible. I doubt that Trump would find either the money or the popular support for his wall readily forthcoming, or for the kind of massive police operation that would be required to deport the people already here illegally. And I doubt that his commitment to restricting immigration is much more than skin deep, so I’d expect this issue to get dropped in the face of congressional opposition.

Input: [12]" Good U.S .- Russian relations are potentially very lucrative for the Trump Organization," wrote Reuters. In 2013, Mr. Trump met with Russian partners to discuss building a replica of his SoHo residential development project in Moscow. “I have a great relationship with many Russians, and almost all of the oligarchs were in the room,” he told Real Estate Weekly. In 2013 he revealed plans to construct a skyscraper in Russia, similar to New York’s famous Trump Tower.

Much better than our Bush.” When Putin ripped American exceptionalism i n a New York Times op-ed in 2013, Trump called it “a masterpiece.” Despite ample evidence, Trump denies that Putin has assassinated his opponents: “In all fairness to Putin, you’re saying he killed people. I have n’t seen that.” In the event that such killings have transpired, they can be forgiven: “At least he’s a leader.” And not just any old head of state: “I will tell you that, in terms of leadership, he’s getting an A.” Additionally, several of Trump’s close advisers have Russian ties:

The evening capped one of Trump's worst weeks of the campaign season, one that started with his shaky debate performance on Monday night and went on to include a public feud with a former beauty queen, a middle-of-the-night tweet storm, attacks on the Clintons ' marriage and an examination of an decades-old adult film that briefly featured Trump fully clothed. The rally started more than an hour and 40 minutes late because heavy fog delayed Trump’s arrival. His supporters grew tired of his looping musical playlist, at one point chanting: “Turn it off!

Input: Amidst the denunciation of Trump's statements Wednesday, his campaign pointed to Clinton's use of personal server for official business as secretary of state despite handling sensitive classified information in that role and the thousands of emails she didn't hand over to the State Department while destroying the server itself -- the very emails Trump was referring to. Senior policy adviser Stephen Miller blasting "Hillary Clinton's enablement of foreign espionage with her illegal email scheme." FBI chief James Comey criticized Clinton's use of a private email server, though he recommended that no criminal charges be brought against her. Trump's remarks about Russia and Clinton's emails came at a news conference in which he was discussing the hack of the Democratic National Committee that led to the publication of thousands of emails on WikiLeaks. The emails showed officials strategizing against Clinton primary rival Bernie Sanders in his campaign for the Democratic nomination at a time when the DNC claimed it was neutral in the race.

Input: Earlier, the FBI said they had no information about possible terror attacks against the US during the upcoming holiday, but called on the public to remain vigilant. “The FBI asks members of the public to maintain awareness of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement,” the agency stated on Thursday. In Britain, law enforcement is taking enhanced security measures on aviation transport, working “closely with our international partners to mitigate risks,” Transport minister Tariq Ahmad said. “We will continue to take all steps necessary to keep the public safe, but for security reasons we do not comment in detail on specific measures or operational matters.” Brian Levin of the Centre for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University labeled the threat as propaganda aimed at frightening people: “This kind of chatter is n’t unusual around 4 July and other big holidays,” he told LA Times.

Input: Almost immediately after the 9/11 attack, while bodies were still buried in the rubble, George W. Bush demanded from Congress the legal authorization to use military force against those responsible for the attack, which everyone understood would start with an invasion of Afghanistan. The resulting resolution that was immediately cooked up was both vague and broad, providing that “the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons.” Despite this broadness, or because of it, the House of Representatives on September 14 approved the resolution by a vote of 420-1.

He has lived in the Ecuadoran embassy since June 2012 after exhausting his British legal options. Assange has insisted the accusations are politically motivated and could lead to his eventual extradition to the United States, where supporters say he could face the death penalty.

Input: This article was originally published by EurasiaNet.org. Russia has announced the details of a new shipment of arms it is sending to Armenia, a relatively rare move likely connected with Russia's ongoing tension with Turkey. Last week, the Russian government announced that it would be providing Armenia with a $ 200 million credit to buy equipment including multiple-launch rocket systems, anti-tank missiles, handheld antiaircraft missiles and upgrades to tanks. The credit was announced last year, as an apparent concession by Russia amid large-scale street protests in Armenia against the country's Russian-owned electricity company.

Input: U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon described the conditions in eastern, rebel-held Aleppo as worse than a “slaughterhouse” at a Security Council meeting. “Those using ever more destructive weapons know exactly what they are doing-they know they are committing war crimes,” Ban said, without naming any countries. Syria’s government is waging a major offensive in Aleppo and both Syria and Russia are carrying out airstrikes on the city. Doctors Without Borders, which supported both of the hospitals damaged Wednesday, said a “brutal and relentless onslaught from air and land” has left eastern Aleppo with just seven surgical doctors to treat a population of some 250,000. The head of the organization, also known by its French acronym MSF, said people are being taken off life support because of a “multitude” of wounded, and doctors in eastern Aleppo are left to “await their own deaths.”

Input: They respected his populist appeal and believed it could serve their own ends. (Hugenberg, writes Turner, “recognized that [the Nazis] were far more successful than his party in mobilizing mass support and hoped to harness their movement to destroy the republic and establish a rightist authoritarian regime.”) Their myopic concern with specifics of their policy agenda overcame their general sense of unease. (One right-wing landowner was “hopeful of relief measures by a Hitler cabinet for the depressed agriculture of the east,” and thus concluded “the army and the forces of conservatism would suffice to prevent a one-party Nazi dictatorship.”) Think of the supply-siders supporting Trump in the hope he can enact major tax cuts, or the social conservatives enthused about his list of potential judges, and you’ll have a picture of the thought process. There is one more parallel between the events of 1933 and the events of 2016: Most of the complicit parties (the main exception being the scheming Franz von Papen) did not fully apprehend the extent of their actions until it was too late. In Germany, Hitler’s ascent required complicated intrigue, the upshot of which was that conservatives believed they had parliamentary leverage that would restrain Hitler.

Input: FiveThirtyEight’s homebrew “Polls-Plus” model, which weights several factors based on a secret formula, has been worse at predicting outcomes than a weighted average of the most recent polls. It’s hard to pin down Silver’s actual success rate when these two models compete with his third demographic model, which in turn might contradict his blog posts and podcasts. Benchmark Politics, an upstart competitor that claims its record is better than FiveThirtyEight‘s, likens Silver’s hedging to “telling a basketball team they can shoot four free throws instead of two.” Even when all of Silver’s models for a given race turn up wrong, it never seems to be FiveThirtyEight’s fault. When the site badly whiffed on last year’s British election, it was the pollsters who erred.

I'm never voting for a person I consider a liar.

A man who prosecutors said shouted “Britain first,” “This is for Britain” and “Keep Britain independent” was charged with her murder. In England especially, 85 percent of the population of Britain, many people fell back on national pride, cultural exceptionalism and nostalgia. Many English voters chose to believe the insistence of anti-Europe leaders like Mr. Johnson that as a great nation, Britain would be more powerful and successful outside the European Union than inside.

In the week where she was thinking of these issues a young Austrian girl had been caught trying to leave ISIS territory and was by all reports beaten to death publicly, so-given that that was circulated in the region as well as outside-I think Kadiza took that as a bad omen and decided not to take the risk."

Several days did indeed pass before the mainstream media in Germany began reporting heavily on the events of New Year's Eve. Beck felt vindicated in a suspicion she had had for months: that the media had long concealed the extent of crimes committed by refugees and migrants.

Input: That view echoes the analysis of former deputy CIA director Michael Morell, who recently wrote in The New York Times that Putin, drawing from his background as an intelligence officer, had made a “calculated” overture to Trump early in the presidential campaign, “playing upon Mr. Trump’s vulnerabilities by complimenting him,” and turning Trump into an “unwitting agent” of Russia. Asked about Trump in December, Putin described the New Yorker as “bright and talented,” words that clearly pleased Trump: “It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond,” the mogul told reporters soon after. Since then, Trump has praised and defended Putin — including against the charge of having Russian journalists killed — and has pledged to establish better relations with Moscow. Though Trump, in recent interviews, has downplayed his affinity for Putin, the Republican nominee has also taken several policy positions that echo the Kremlin line. He has questioned the relevance of the 67-year -old NATO alliance, called for U.S.-Russian cooperation against the Islamic State, and questioned U.S. and European sanctions imposed on Moscow after Putin’s forcible March 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula.

America’s New Class is n’t the super rich (they tend to donate to Hillary Clinton); it's the upper-middle-class employees of non-profits, universities and government agencies. They benefit twice from the kinds of programs that Bernie supports: Often, they’re employed to administer them, or receive funds for providing services (think college administrators who, unsurprisingly, heavily support Bernie and Hillary), and then they also receive the benefits because their kids are more likely to go to college than, say, a Kroger cashier’s. (And if we ever wind up with government-run health care, ask yourself who’ll get the hip replacement first — a woman who works as a cashier at Kroger or a senior bureaucrat in the Department of Health and Human Services.)

Input: At this point, it would be irresponsible to ignore the fact that Trump's grasp on reality appears to be tenuous at best. Begin with the fact that he lies the way other people breathe. Telling a self-serving lie -- no matter how transparent, no matter how easily disproved -- seems to be a reflex for him. Look at the things he has said in just the past week. On Wednesday, at a news conference in Florida, Trump said he has never met Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Input: “He is showing the Russians can walk and chew gum as well as play chess, while the current U.S. administration foreign and military policy is a shambles,” Mr. Deptula said. “The gradualistic, weak and uncertain policies of the Obama national security team in the Middle East have yielded a dramatic advantage to the Russians.” The Russian Defense Ministry on Thursday issued an update on its bombing campaign. It said Tu-22M3s and Su-34 fighters from Iran hit targets only in Deir ex-Zor and targeted only the Islamic State. “As a result, the strikes have eliminated five large depots with armament, munitions and fuel, six control centers, a large number of militants, artillery positions and armored hardware of terrorists,” the ministry said.

Input: The Swiss judge must now decide if its contents can be handed over to Dutch officials,” de Bruin added. The news comes after Dutch investigators on Monday released an update on their inquiry to the families of the victims. It included pictures of fragments of the BUK missile found at the crash site. The same pictures were also included in the final conclusions of the initial Dutch-led international investigation, which determined in October that the flight was shot down by the Russian-made missile, fired from an area in eastern Ukraine held by pro-Russian separatists. Now a criminal investigation in the Netherlands is underway to identify exactly who fired the missile and where from, even though many believe that those to blame will never be arrested and tried.

Input: The crowd was almost entirely male, many of them (apparently taking advantage of the under-30 registration discount) young. A conspicuous number sported the Hitler Youth – inspired hairdo known as an “undercut,” short on the sides with a long part on top. In between encomia to the recently deceased anti-Semitic newspaper publisher Willis Carto and a recitation of pagan reveries by a white-separatist folk musician, attendees perused bookstalls featuring the conspiracy-mongering American Free Press newspaper and the Holocaust-denying Barnes Review. What drew me to spend an otherwise pleasant Saturday afternoon among a group of white supremacists was the buzz that Donald Trump’s then-nascent presidential campaign had stirred within the movement. Trump’s politics of resentment thrives on a sort of coded groupthink — namely, white groupthink.

Input: A close ally of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is calling for the Commission on Presidential Debates to pull Fox News anchor Chris Wallace from his role as a moderator of the final debate in October, citing a conflict of interest. David Brock, a Clinton ally who founded the pro-Clinton super PACs Correct the Record and American Bridge 21st Century, wrote in a letter to the commission obtained by Politico that Wallace has a conflict of interest because former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes is informally advising Donald Trump and, specifically, helping him prepare for the upcoming debates." It is a glaring conflict of interest that Roger Ailes, who resigned from Fox News in July, simultaneously provides advice to Donald Trump while serving as a paid adviser to Fox News chief Rupert Murdoch — debate moderator Chris Wallace’s boss," wrote Brock. Although Ailes resigned from Fox News over a sexual harassment scandal, he is also still advising 21st Century Fox executive co-chairman and acting Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch through 2018, according to his separation agreement.

He said the collapse in oil prices meant Isis oil was only selling at $ 15 a barrel, punching a hole in their finances. “We know they’ve cut stipends to foreign fighters and many foreign fighters are in arrears on pay.” Hammond also delivered his strongest critique yet of Russia’s air campaign in Syria, accusing Moscow of deliberately carrying out strikes on schools and hospitals.

Input: Politifact, in its analysis of the Uranium One / Rosatom / State Department story first reported by the New York Times and based on research from the NYT bestseller Clinton Cash, ignores numerous key facts, conflates opinion for fact, deemphasizes other key facts, makes 13 errors, declares an incomplete donor record as complete, and takes the word of a major Clinton Foundation donor who has a demonstrable record of deceiving media outlets about basic facts in this deal. All of these errors curiously redound to the benefit of Hillary Clinton. The fact-check article was written by Politifact staff writer Linda Qiu, who took to Twitter and joked about her newly acquired skill for searching SEDAR, Canada’s version of EDGAR for publicly traded companies.

Input: STRASBOURG, France Chess master Garry Kasparov on Tuesday won a case against Russia at the European Court of Human Rights for unlawful arrest and violation of his right to attend a rally he missed as a result of his detention. The complaint by the former world champion and political activist, a Russian national who lives in the United States, dates back to 2007, when Russian authorities confiscated his ticket and passport and detained him at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow. The detention prevented him from attending an opposition political rally scheduled to be held at an EU-Russia summit in Samara. According to a court statement, the 53 year-old Kasparov was questioned for five hours over whether his ticket had been forged.

Input: He denied that Mr. Manafort had received management fees from Pericles during its operation, but said that one of Mr. Manafort’s partners, Rick Gates, who is also working on the Trump campaign, had received a “nominal” sum. Court papers indicate that Pericles’ only deal involved Black Sea Cable. Mr. Manafort continued working in Ukraine after the demise of Mr. Yanukovych’s government, helping allies of the ousted president and others form a political bloc that opposed the new pro-Western administration. Some of his aides were in Ukraine as recently as this year, and Ukrainian company records give no indication that Mr. Manafort has formally dissolved the local branch of his company, Davis Manafort International, directed by a longtime assistant, Konstantin V. Kilimnik. At Mr. Manafort’s old office on Sofiivska Street, new tenants said they had discovered several curiosities apparently left behind, including a knee X-ray signed by Mr. Yanukovych, possibly referring to tennis matches played between Mr. Manafort and Mr. Yanukovych, who had spoken publicly of a knee ailment affecting his game.

Input: will weaken Europe’s ties with the U.S., showed more decorum in discussing the decision. When Vladimir Putin appears more of a statesman than the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, something has gone seriously wrong in American politics. Trump does n’t advocate a realist view of the world in which human rights and the global progress of American political values are a secondary concern. He repudiates those values and American world leadership. He calls for murdering the children of jihadists, stealing other nations’ resources, torturing prisoners, ending alliances based on shared values as much as mutual interest, fighting economic wars with former trading partners, making common cause with nativist movements in other countries, and letting the world descend into cataclysms of violence and oppression and terror.

Input: The statement added: “The coalition airstrike was halted immediately when coalition officials were informed by Russian officials that it was possible the personnel and vehicles targeted were part of the Syrian military.” Centcom said the coalition had struck the area in the past, and that its members had “earlier informed Russian counterparts of the upcoming strike”. “It is not uncommon for the Coalition Air Operations Center to confer with Russian officials as a professional courtesy and to deconflict,” the command center said, “although such contact is not required by the current US-Russia Memorandum of Understanding on safety of flight.” The statement added that “coalition forces would not intentionally strike a known Syrian military unit” and that they would “review this strike and the circumstances surrounding it to see if any lessons can be learned”. The US and Russia last week brokered a controversial ceasefire that made provisions for joint strikes on jihadi militants, even though the Kremlin stands accused of killing 2,000 civilians in six months of strikes.

Input: The Russian Orthodox Church issued a statement saying that “if reasonable and carried out with love, corporal punishment is an essential right given to parents by God.” The All-Russian Parents’ Resistance, a movement fighting against the juvenile justice system, has warned that criminalization of familial battery will lead to prosecution of parents who were acting in their children’s best interests. “A mother spanked her son for watching porn ... but his teachers in school noticed bruises, complained, and the court made the mother pay a 8,000-ruble ($ 120) fine ... Parents no longer have the right to choose methods of up-bringing,” a statement on their website says. “Traditional, or rather archaic values have become popular again,” says Alyona Popova, activist and women’s rights advocate. High-profile stories of abuse — movie stars beating their wives into a coma, female journalists posting pictures of bruised faces after fighting with their significant others — have done little to change the situation.

Input: Berlin’s Lollapolooza festival, headlined by Radiohead and Kings of Leon, is scheduled to take place on 10-11 September at Treptower Park, which also contains a large memorial site for Soviet soldiers who died during the second world war. “We express serious concern at the plans of Berlin authorities to allow a rock festival to take place in September at this memorial site,” the Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday. “You have to understand that this event, which will be attended by 50,000 people, will take place on the site of the burial of 7,500 Soviet soldiers who perished while freeing Europe from fascism. We believe holding events like this at memorial sites is unacceptable, and will involve – literally – dancing on graves.” The Russian foreign ministry’s letter follows a letter of complaint signed by 10 ambassadors of former Soviet states, sent to the mayor of Berlin’s Treptow-Köopenick borough six weeks ago.

Input: This year, the Defense Department launched into full-on cyberwar against the Islamic State, promising to disrupt the group’s propaganda, internal communications, and basic functions like payroll. The campaign marks the first time the Pentagon has publicly announced that it’s using its own cyberweapons to go after an adversary — previous attacks, like the Stuxnet worm that targeted Iranian nuclear centrifuges, were conducted in secrecy. But as reported by The Washington Post, the operation, which would support the U.S.-led coalition’s airstrike campaign, has gotten off to a slow start, as the Pentagon hires up for the effort and stockpiles weapons to use against the group. Of course, this is a whole lot more detail than Trump was ready or willing to take on in his interview this week. Political analysts, security experts, and even the nominee’s own ghostwriter are wringing their hands over the thought of the lasting, catastrophic damage Trump could inflict with access to the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

The latest Clinton emails story from the Huffington Post’s Politics section that is branded as news — not “The Blog” — is a Reuters wire dated June 10th. In that time, reports have claimed that Russia’s government intercepted and will release Clinton’s emails; Wikileaks founder Julian Assange announced plans to release Clinton emails which he believes would provide sufficient evidence to indict her; and CBS News published a poll showing two thirds of registered voters believed Clinton’s private email setup was either illegal (41 percent) or improper (25 percent). The site’s parent company AOL posted a video about the Assange story, but HuffPo’s political team made no mention of it. A review of the site’s tags on Clinton and her email scandal reveal scant coverage from its own editorial staff.

Mr Stoltenberg said: “In the meeting, it was re-confirmed that we disagree on the facts, on the narrative and the responsibilities in and around Ukraine. “Many allies disagree when Russia tries to portray this as a civil war. “This is Russia destabilizing eastern Ukraine, providing support for the separatists, munitions, funding, equipment and also command and control.”

The acquisitions “may pose a strategic rather than overt national security threat,” the lawmakers said. One purchase, ChemChina’s $ 43 billion purchase of the agricultural company Syngenta, has raised food security and safety concerns. Dalian Wanda, a Chinese conglomerate, has purchased major U.S. movie studios, including Legendary Entertainment and Paramount studios, along with the AMC and Carmike theater chains. Those takeovers prompted fears of “China’s efforts to censor topics and exert propaganda controls on American media,” the House members stated.

Although there are no official explanations as of yet, reports we received describe the event as similar to the February 2013 meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, injuring more than 1 000 people and damaging more than 3 000 structures. Our reader from Iasi said:" It felt like a group of waves, that hit one after the other.

He noted that in May, “a senior ISIL figure publicly urged the group’s followers to conduct attacks in their home countries.” Get Slate in your inbox.

I know it’s slower and less convenient to stick to the old-fashioned way, but the security risks are simply too great. There are other ways to attack our election system on the Internet besides hacking voting machines or changing vote tallies: deleting voter records, hijacking candidate or party websites, targeting and intimidating campaign workers or donors. There have already been multiple instances of political doxing — publishing personal information and documents about a person or organization — and we could easily see more of it in this election cycle. We need to take these risks much more seriously than before.

Input: WASHINGTON / NEW YORK, March 2 (Yonhap) -- The U.N. Security Council adopted the harshest-ever sanctions on North Korea on Wednesday, punishing Pyongyang for its defiant nuclear and missile tests and seeking to put curbs on the weapons programs through what could amount to a land, sea and air blockade designed to dry up key revenue sources. The 15-member council unanimously adopted Resolution 2270, significantly tightening the screws on the communist nation that sparked global outrage with its fourth nuclear test on Jan. 6 and its long-range missile launch on Feb. 7 in violation of U.N. bans. The new sanctions, the toughest ever to be imposed on Pyongyang, require mandatory inspection of all cargo going in and out of the North, regardless of whether by land, sea or air, while banning its exports of coal, iron and other mineral resources, a key source of hard currency that accounts for nearly half of the country's total exports. It also prohibits all small arms and other conventional weapons from being sold to the North, bans jet and rocket fuel supplies to the country, grounds North Korean flights suspected of carrying contraband and denies vessels carrying illicit items access to ports. The resolution blacklisted 16 North Korean individuals and 12 entities, including the General Reconnaissance Bureau in charge of espionage operations, and requires the expulsion of North Korean diplomats engaged in activities banned under Security Council resolutions.

Input: “Others, however, note that Russia does not need to meet the limits until February 2018, so the warhead level in March 2016 should not be of concern.” But even if the U.S. and Russia abide by the treaty limits, the reduction in nuclear weapons would be historically modest, experts say. On its website, the Clinton campaign says the New START treaty “will make the world safer by reducing U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals to their smallest size in 50 years.” But this is misleading. The bulk of that reduction occurred before New START took effect in 2011, as shown in Figure 1 of a June 2015 report by the Carnegie Moscow Center. “[T]he agreements that have followed the unprecedented reductions of START I called for increasingly marginal reductions in [strategic nuclear forces] levels,” the Carnegie report said.

Input: Image copyright Reuters Image caption There are fears that eastern Aleppo could face total destruction within months Russian planes have resumed air strikes on rebel-held districts in the city of Aleppo, in what activists say is the heaviest bombardment in days. At least 25 people are reported to have died, including children. The bombardment follows a temporary lull called by the Syrian government, partly to allow civilians to leave rebel areas in the east of the city. It has come under intense aerial attack since a ceasefire brokered by the US and Russia collapsed last month.

Congress will return for a lame-duck session after the election to figure out how to keep the government open. None of the regular appropriations bills funding government for fiscal 2017 had been signed into law when McConnell spoke to reporters. Obama signed the first one, a measure funding military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs, at 2:40 p.m. Thursday. McConnell expressed hope that some of them might be packaged into multiple "mini-buses" in the lame-duck session to avoid having to pass a massive, year-end omnibus spending bill, as has become regular practice in recent years.

Input: Alexander Yaroshenko, head of the Forestry Programme of Greenpeace Russia told Over the past three years this fire has caused dangerous smoke to Ust-Kut and nearby settlements multiple times, with overall population of about 50,000 people. That is an emergency situation of at least regional scale. The company says that all possible measures to prevent the spread of the blaze have been taken including a “mineral border line” around the saw dust mountain and firefighting equipment on permanent standby. Heat wave conditions across Siberia, with the hottest June ever recorded, have The mountain of sawdust measuring more than 25 acres in size is located in the Ust-Kutsky district of Irkutsk region in Eastern Siberia. The Trans-Siberian Forest company, which manages the site is depositing 70 cubic meters (2,500 cubic feet) of sawdust waste each day to the 2 million cubic meters (70 million cubic feet) dump literally adding fuel to the fire. Environmental activists have voiced concern as authorities expect the fire, visible from space, to continue burning for many years.

Input: It is well known that the FBI still does not have roughly 30,000 emails that Hillary Clinton deleted from her private server due to Clinton categorizing them as personal and not work related. We have also reported that Russia may be in possession of those emails, and according to Judge Andrew Napolitano, there is a debate going on in the Kremlin about whether or not to release them. Given that the FBI still does n’t have the emails, Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton (of the US is “under-incarcerated” fame), who is a Trump supporter and also serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, has become so frustrated that Cotton suggests the FBI is about to ask Putin for his copies. Cotton also took a jab at Bill Clinton’s meeting with Loretta Lynch, saying that his plane was also on the tarmac, and he thought Bill Clinton may be waiting to climb on board to talk with him as well.

Doing nothing in the face of the slaughter in Syria is not only shameful, it is unrealistic. This approach leaves Syria as a broken country and a breeding ground for extremists for decades. Instead of focusing on Iraq in 2003, Obama should have thought more about what happened there in 1991.

But after Trump’s video apology and his performance at Sunday’s debate, Cotton softened his stance while noting to a local radio station that he “would n’t criticize or attack anyone for the legitimate change of conscience.” “The best he can do now is to change his ways today and also try to bring change to Washington,” he added, according to the Independent Journal Review.

Input: "Unless a permanent lifeline to Aleppo is opened it will be only a matter of time until we are again surrounded by regime troops, hunger takes hold and hospitals’ supplies run completely dry. Death has seemed increasingly inescapable." So not only does attacking medical facilities and personnel hamper the ability of that one facility and those personnel to provide aid to the regime’s enemies, it also deters people in other areas of Syria from providing aid. As documented in the UN independent inquiry commission report: Medical workers, including doctors, dentists, nurses, paramedics, ambulance drivers and laboratory technicians, have been attacked for attending to the wounded.

Input: The emails also reveal that Mitchell feared that mankind was on the brink of a space war that could lead to ETI intervention to stop humanity from self-annihilating. The former NASA astronaut backed up his claim that mankind was on the brink of a devastating space war by referring Podesta to several online news articles and analyses about the increasing risk of war in space. He cited the Obama administration’s request of $ 5 billion to fund space defense programs in 2016 as evidence that the major powers were preparing for a space war despite efforts to convince them to sign the Treaty on Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, first proposed by China and Russia in February 2008, as part of efforts to outlaw the weaponization of space, according to the Space Review. “We’re arguably closer than ever to war in space.

Input: Only the former owner of this newspaper, Conrad Black, in National Review Online has endorsed his friend The Donald, on the admittedly credible grounds that Trump would discover maturity in office once faced with the responsibility of leading the Free World rather than mouthing off vicious sexist comments about women reporters. While this might be true, the risk is too great to take; that is why nearly 70 per cent of Republican voters who do n’t support Trump are telling pollsters that they “possibly” or “probably” wo n’t vote for him as president. Assuming Hillary Clinton is n’t indicted by the FBI over her outrageous lese majeste with classified emails, and assuming that Bernie Sanders’ campaign fizzles out after his initial projected victories in New Hampshire and possibly Iowa, and assuming ex-New York Mayor Michael Blomberg does n’t exploit the chaos with a White House run of his own – all fairly big assumptions – Trump will not win a single state unless those 70 per cent of Republicans return to the GOP camp. Trump’s levity, unprofessionalism and possible cowardice in not taking part in the final debate – because the Fox News moderator is Megyn Kelly, whose menstruation cycle he thought it politic to comment upon – are unlikely to change the minds of this key electoral demographic.

Input: “Such people should be treated as enemies of the people, as betrayers. They should be put on trial,” Kadyrov said.

Republicans note that Democrats are responsible for roughly one-third of the panel’s $ 6.6 million in spending, despite not requesting witnesses or asking for new documents.

Democrats say they have been excluded from the Republicans’ drafting efforts, and will likely write their own analysis rebutting most of the GOP conclusions. “I suspect the first time we’ll get to see what they even have in mind is when they release it in public, which I imagine it to be a repackaging of old news with new screaming headlines,” said Schiff.

The Kremlin said that it has no information on the issue adding that it’s not always clear what such claims are based on. The UN also said that it ca n’t confirm these reports, while Washington said that it is investigating the claims.

Input: There's also "the experience and the temperament" of the prospective military commander-in-chief. Trump most obviously appears to flunk this test. In an address back in June Clinton attacked Trump for his obvious "bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies."

Getting back anywhere close to the levels of the’ 60s and’ 70s would require cutting immigration to a trickle and keeping it restricted for decades. Congress would have to pass new laws for that to happen, although a President Trump could take some steps to reduce legal immigration using his own authority, noted Doris Meissner, former immigration commissioner. A legislative push would likely set off an enormous battle that could dominate the first year of a new administration.

In June, before the games even began, the Australian wheelchair basketball player Liesl Tesch warned that Rio was a “dangerous place” after two armed thieves demanded money and stole her bicycle as she trained in the city. The Australian team then had a laptop and Zika-protective team shirts stolen from their quarters in the Olympic village, after about 100 team members had been evacuated because of a small fire in the basement car park of their accommodation. Evgeny Korotyshkin, a Russian former Olympic swimmer, visiting Rio as president of the Moscow swimming association, also claimed to have been robbed by gun-toting teenagers who let him photograph them in exchange for all the money he had on him. Among non-athletes, a bus carrying journalists from the basketball venue to the main Olympic park was attacked on 9 August.

Input: That was very clear." Daniel Rye Ottosen The only period in Mueller's 18 horrifying months as an ISIS hostage when she wasn't subjected to some form of torture, verbal abuse, prolonged isolation, sensory deprivation, stress positions, forced labor or sexual assault before she died in captivity was the six weeks she was held at an abandoned oil refinery in Syria, with other Western hostages in 2014. Because many of the ISIS captives were being individually negotiated for ransom with their governments, employers or families, the women, at least, inside the makeshift prison south of ISIS stronghold Raqqa were not subjected to the kind of abuses that Mueller said she experienced in other ISIS prisons before and after her time there, according to the Mueller family and those held captive with her. Three of the Westerners released by ISIS and a Yazidi teenager who escaped captivity provided eyewitness accounts to ABC News of Mueller's strength, selflessness and will to survive amid her considerable suffering, including details she gave them of her treatment when she was completely alone for most of her confinement by the terrorist group.

John Campbell, suggested as he was leaving the post that the United States may have to leave a larger presence to train and assist Afghan forces, as well as dial up pressure on the Taliban with airstrikes. Current rules of engagement only allow U.S. commanders to call in airstrikes to protect NATO troops and Afghan forces in imminent danger of being overrun by the Taliban. They can target al Qaeda and ISIS militants but can not conduct airstrikes against the Taliban unless they pose a direct threat to NATO or Afghan forces. Campbell told reporters that in order to drive the Taliban toward reconciliation," They need to have more pressure put on them and one way to do that would be potentially striking them."
