Input: "Hi to everyone," said the mother-of-three, waving at the crowd of journalists in the courtroom. Investigator Olga Lapteva, who was clearly emotional, told the court that Bobokulova was suspected of committing an "extremely serious crime" and that she should face "a mandatory prison sentence of considerably more than three years." The court confirmed the nanny's arrest and ordered her held in custody for two months as investigations continued. Investigators said they were still trying to establish if Bobokulova had any accomplices. Bobokulova has been undergoing psychiatric examinations since her detention over the murder of the girl, Nastya, whom the judge said was born in 2011. Investigators had initially estimated she was three or four years old. She is suspected of butchering the girl, who had suffered from learning disabilities and epilepsy, at the family's apartment in northwestern Moscow, before torching it and fleeing the scene. Witnesses reported seeing an agitated woman dressed in black who threatened to "blow everyone up" with one media report saying she shouted "Allahu Akbar" — Arabic for "God is greatest" — as she paced up and down outside a metro station. The shocking incident has shaken usually hard-bitten Muscovites and people have flocked to the Oktyabrskoe Pole metro station to lay flowers and pray. Russia's national television channels have, however, refused to cover the killing in a controversial move that the Kremlin defended as the subject was "probably too monstrous to be shown on television". Many have questioned the professionalism of police after Bobokulova was allowed to pace up and down outside the metro station with the head for about 20 minutes. A spokeswoman for the Office of the General Prosecutor said a probe would be launched into the matter. The mass-circulation Moskovsky Komsomolets, citing Uzbek police, said the woman had suffered from schizophrenia for about 15 years. Komsomolskaya Pravda, citing a close family friend, said the live-in nanny had recently become very religious, spent a lot of time online and had brought home a prayer mat.

The Democrats had hired breach mitigation firm CrowdStrike to investigate and clean up its networks. No financial or personal data was stolen in the breach, according to officials, and it believes the hack was an intelligence-gathering exercise. “It’s the job of every foreign intelligence service to collect intelligence against their adversaries,” CrowdStrike president Shawn Henry said.

Sailors aboard the ship described the Sukhoi Russian Su-24 as “wings clean,” meaning there were no visible bombs or armaments on the aircraft, the defense official said. The nature of the overflight as a “simulated attack” may violate a 1973 treaty between the U.S. and Russia that specifically prohibits this type of maneuver, the defense official said. The maneuver was one of several aggressive moves by Russian aircraft on Monday and Tuesday.

Input: Before looking at Secretary Clinton’s testimony, and that of Director Comey which Republicans claim puts the lie to Mrs. Clinton, a brief review of these statutes (in a nutshell without citations) may be helpful. The Perjury and False Statements Statutes Perjury is set forth in Title 18 of the U.S. Code, section 1621: “Whoever having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true … is guilty of perjury.” Punishment for perjury calls for a fine and/or up to five years’ imprisonment. Stated a bit differently, the elements of perjury that would apply in Secretary Clinton’s situation are (1) knowingly and willfully making a (2) false (3) material declaration (4) under oath (5) before a properly constituted proceeding of Congress. The essence of the crime is the willful untruth of a material statement made when under oath.

Paper is heavy and incriminating for the carrier; on the other hand, photographs, while more portable, can be difficult to authenticate in court. Bundles of up to fifty pounds typically arrive “in a dizzying array of crappy suitcases” smuggled across borders, Wiley told me, while large loads demand more intricate planning. “Think in terms of a box of paper that sits next to the photocopier,” he explained. “That box has five bricks, each with five hundred pages in it,” weighing a total of about twenty pounds.

We discussed how to get back to a real and comprehensive ceasefire and how to restore unfettered access for OSCE monitors and how to accelerate the process of a negotiated – of negotiating the election modalities for Donbas, which are all critical next steps in this journey," Kerry added. In his words, the full implementation of the Minsk agreement is a major condition for lifting anti-Russian sanctions." I reinforced President Obama's pledge to roll back sanctions when all of the provisions of Minsk are complete, including the withdrawal of all weapons and fighters and the return of Ukraine's sovereign border," he said.

Input: The SEC returned to court demanding that he disclose all of his accounts, including “any entity associated with Mossack Fonseca Group.” The securities agency filed copies of emails between Kapur and a Mossack Fonseca affiliate, Mossfon Trust, in which he discussed buying a “vintage shelf corporation.” Mossfon offered Kapur companies for as little as $ 5,750. In July, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer jailed Kapur for contempt until he pays the judgment. Engelmayer said the SEC “has developed compelling evidence that Kapur possesses and has access to significant assets” and ordered that he be “incarcerated until he purges the contempt.” Kapur is locked up in a federal detention center in Brooklyn. According to court records, Kapur testified that he did not purchase the companies for himself, but did so on behalf of ThinkStrategy clients so “they could avoid Know Your Customer requirements,” governing information financial firms must collect about their customers.

Input: For the first time in the almost 50 years since the Golan was captured, therefore, Netanyahu and his ministers will hold their weekly meeting this Sunday in the Golan, to “symbolize” Israel’s determination not to relinquish the area, the TV report said. Netanyahu discussed the issue in a telephone call with US Secretary of State John Kerry a few days ago, a Channel 10 TV news report said earlier this week. He will also reportedly discuss the matter when he travels to Russia next week to meet with President Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu is said to have made clear to Kerry that any language in an accord on the fate of Syria that specifies that the Israeli-held western two-thirds of the Golan is Syrian land would be unacceptable to Israel, and to have vowed to “act to ensure” any agreement includes no such provision. Prior to to the eruption of the Syrian civil war, some Israeli security chiefs had encouraged the Israeli political leadership to explore the possibility of reaching a peace treaty with President Bashar Assad, which could also have enabled a treaty with Lebanon and the isolating of Assad’s key ally Iran, in return for relinquishing the Golan.

Input: It calls for “no daylight between America and Israel” and guarantees Israel a qualitative military edge. It recognizes “Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the Jewish state” and calls for the American embassy to be moved there. It denounces the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement as anti-Semitic and calls for legislation to prevent the boycotting of Israel or “the Israeli-controlled territories.” In February 2016, Trump said that the United States should remain “neutral” between Israel and the Palestinians so as to be in a position to broker a deal between the two sides. But he quickly withdrew that, saying that “Palestinians must come to the table knowing that the bond between the United States and Israel is absolutely, totally unbreakable,” that he would move the U.S. embassy to “the eternal capital of the Jewish people,” Jerusalem, and that Hillary Clinton and Obama had “treated Israel very, very badly.”

Input: China's man-made islands and presence in disputed territory in the South China Sea have rankled its relations with regional trade partners and even prompted a response from President Barack Obama, who spoke on the issue last month after reports that China had transferred surface-to-air missiles to one of its disputed islands." Freedom of navigation must be upheld and lawful commerce should not be impeded," Obama said at the time." I reiterated that the United States will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows, and we will support the right of all countries to do the same." The U.S. has at times sailed military vessels around the region – a symbolic display of dissatisfaction that hasn't been received particularly well by officials in Beijing. Should tensions build further and actual conflict erupt, the fallout would "seriously undermine intra-regional economic ties and potentially interrupt global trade flows and simultaneously depress global economic sentiment more broadly," according to the EIU.

Mr. Trump, in a written statement meant to respond directly to the president’s remarks, called Mrs. Clinton “unfit to serve in any government office.” He also accused Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton of allowing Americans to be slaughtered in Benghazi, Libya; letting veterans die waiting for medical care; and releasing immigrants into the United States to kill innocent people.

Input: Saudi Arabia is discussing plans to deploy ground troops with regional allies, including Turkey, for a safe zone in Syria, in a last-ditch effort to keep alive a rebellion at risk of collapse as a Russian-backed offensive by Syrian regime forces encroaches on the northern province of Aleppo. Although western officials have dismissed the plans as lacking credibility, they are a sign of the desperation that many of Syria’s opposition backers feel towards what looks like an increasingly bleak outcome to the war. Two people familiar with Saudi plans told the Financial Times that high-ranking Gulf officials are in Riyadh meeting Turkish officials to discuss options for deploying ground troops to head a coalition of fighters inside Syria. Aleppo city, Syria’s former business hub, is the last major urban centre controlled by the rebels. Its countryside, on the northern border with Turkey, is their lifeline.

Input: After the 1979 revolution that brought Shi'ite Muslim clerics to power, Iran would typically use hostages to extract concessions from its western adversaries. Early on, it held 52 hostages taken from the U.S. embassy in Tehran for 444 days. That incident ranked alongside Iranian-backed suicide bombings against Western embassies and troops in Lebanon, the hijacking of planes and the kidnapping of Western hostages in the country. All this left deep scars and incited hostility towards Iran as an outlaw, in the region and the world. Yet last week's naval incident contrasted to 2007 when Iran captured British sailors in similar circumstances, but accused of them of spying and held them for two weeks.

Input: Numerous paragraphs in Hillary Clinton’s emails have been redacted in State Department email releases with the classification code “B7 (F),” which means that the information, if released, would “endanger the life or physical safety of an individual.” advertisement These new revelations could provide further justification for the FBI to recommend indicting Clinton for violating the Espionage Act, which forbids the mishandling of national defense information through “gross negligence.” These revelations also add to a growing scandal for Clinton regarding her exposure of protected intelligence information, which recalls the Valerie Plame scandal that engulfed the George W. Bush administration. Breitbart News reported Thursday that Clinton disclosed the names of CIA-protected covert intelligence sources on her private email server, which was highly vulnerable to attack and which was breached repeatedly by Russia-linked hacker attempts. Clinton shared names on her private server that have been marked with the highly classified “B3 CIA PERS / ORG” redaction code, which protects the identity of covert agents in accordance with the Central Intelligence Act of 1949.

The brutality took a toll on many interrogators, too. In at least one case, an interrogator begged a detainee to admit to a crime so that he could stop hurting him. “They were very much of the opinion that they had to produce results,” Chris Engels told me. “The ramifications of not doing their job well were real, and there’s evidence of what happened to people who did not.” The final line of the Crisis Cell’s targeting policy ordered the heads of security branches to “periodically supply the National Security Bureau with the names of security agents who are irresolute or unenthusiastic.” Some of them ended up in Hamada’s cell.

Input: “The Muslim migrants arriving to Europe are for the most part not refugees but job seekers who belong to what is de facto an invasion,” Rom, nee Norbert Kurtzman, told JTA after the Russia premiere of the film “The Children of Tehran” in the city of Kazan during its Limmud FSU conference of Jewish learning. “The attempts to pass off the new arrivals, people who left and in many cases participated in a murderous civil war, as refugees and then to liken their experiences to what Holocaust survivors had to endure is false,” Rom, who survived the Holocaust with his sister, said last month. The rebuke by Rom, a supporter of the left-wing Meretz party and one of the founders of Kibbutz Afikim, followed the publication in August of an op-ed in The New York Times titled “Anne Frank Today Is a Syrian Girl,” in which the journalist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof argued that the reasons for the opposition to absorbing Jewish Holocaust refugees in the United States “were the same as they are for rejecting Syrians or Hondurans today. ”While some European Jews have repeated the analogy, others have been careful to avoid it amid the arrival to Europe of 1.5 million immigrants since 2015 from the war-torn Middle East and Africa. While many of those arriving file for refugee status, critics of EU immigration policies have argued for stricter screening against job seekers, citing the heavy presence among the newcomers of work-age men. The Tehran Children trekked a tormented 8,000 miles to Israel through Siberia, Uzbekistan, Tehran, India, Egypt and finally prestate Israel. Rom and his sister, Ziva, were given up for adoption in the Uzbeki city of Samarkand by their parents, Karol and Ethel, who were starving and opted to part with their two older children in the hope of saving their baby brother, Uzi. Karol died of starvation and disease in Samarkand. Natan and Ziva eventually were reunited with their mother and baby brother. The arrival of the Tehran Children to Israel in 1943 is widely considered the first encounter between the yishuv, prestate Israel’s Jewish population, and any large group of refugees from the Holocaust.

We should now work with our European allies who have been the victim of similar and even more malicious cyber interference by Russia to develop a concerted response that protects our institutions and deters further meddling," he said. A senior administration official said all involved agencies moved exceptionally quickly to investigate the hacks and assign attribution to Russia, even though some lawmakers have complained the process was too slow. “As the intelligence community gathered new information, it was able to reach increasingly higher degrees of confidence about which actors were responsible,” the official said. “Everyone has to coalesce, and have the same degree of confidence on any given intelligence matter.

Input: (Azad Lashkari / Reuters) -- A dispatch from the front lines -- > “Evidence of a ‘difficult fight’ ahead as forces move toward ISIS-held Mosul,” by Kareem Fahim and Loveday Morris: “To defend a few miles of unremarkable road in northern Iraq, flanked by farmland, the occasional factory and flyspeck hamlets and villages, the Islamic State militants seemed to spare no effort. They loaded a Volkswagen with explosives and secreted remote-detonated bombs … They burned tires and dug large tunnels in houses … The arsenal ultimately failed to protect the militants. But it seemed to slow down the action, tying up a large contingent of Iraqi soldiers as they tried to clear the road and villages of booby traps, a few wearying feet at a time. There were still 12 grueling miles left to travel before reaching the city’s outskirts.

Input: More Arabs than Jews – by a declining margin – optimistic about two-state solution Many Arab citizens or residents of Israel appear to be losing hope that a way can be found for Israel and an independent Palestinian state to coexist peacefully. In Pew Research Center polling, the percentage of Israeli Arabs who say a peaceful, two-state solution is possible has dropped by 24 points in just two years, from 74% in 2013 to 50% in the latest survey, which was conducted in late 2014 and early 2015 (i.e., even before the wave of stabbings and other violence in Israel and the West Bank in late 2015). The new poll finds that about three-in-ten Israeli Arabs (30%) think a peaceful two-state solution is not possible, while 20% say they do not know or do not take a position either way. As of the time of the survey, Israeli Jews were less optimistic than Israeli Arabs about the possibility of a two-state solution.

Input: It was a stirring tale, an example of how “hard choices” can yield happy outcomes — except the story got much messier just before Clinton’s memoir was published. Tacked onto her memoir’s section on South Sudan is a sentence that reads like a last-minute addition: “In late 2013, tribal divisions and personal feuds erupted in a spasm of violence that threatens to tear the country apart.” Those “tribal divisions and personal feuds” spiraled into a civil war pitting the forces led by Kiir — a member of the country’s largest tribe, the Dinka — against those loyal to Riek Machar, the vice president he had sacked earlier in 2013 and an ethnic Nuer — the second-largest tribe in the country. Kiir said the violence stemmed from an abortive coup by Machar, but a comprehensive investigation by an African Union commission found no evidence of one. It did find evidence that “Dinka soldiers, members of presidential guard, and other security forces conducted house-to-house searches, killing Nuer soldiers and civilians in and near their homes” in Juba.

Why he quit-Jane O'Brien, BBC News, Washington Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption The BBC's Jane O'Brien says Manafort quit because of falling support for Trump Mr Manafort's lobbying connections to pro-Russia politicians in Ukraine are certainly a distraction for Mr Trump's presidential campaign-but unlikely to be the main reason for his departure. In spite of Mr Manafort's efforts to impose discipline on the Republican nominee, Mr Trump continues to do badly in the polls and has reportedly bristled at efforts to bring him under control.

Input: The announcement follows the uncovering of a series of Asian sex abuse gangs across the country in recent years. Rochdale child sex grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed is the first such paedophile to be subjected to Mrs May's new approach. The pervert was jailed for 22 years in 2012 after being convicted of befriending vulnerable teenage girls, plying them with alcohol and raping them. The divorced father-of-four, aged 63 and known as ' Daddy ', was later found guilty of 30 more horrific rapes in a separate trial. Despite ruining the lives of dozens of young white girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, Ahmed last week appealed against the deportation from Britain on human rights grounds.

Input: It is true that the civil war in Syria has been one of the deadliest in modern history: according to a recent U.N. estimate, since the start of hostilities in early 2011, more than 400,000 Syrians have been killed. But it is difficult to determine how much of Syria's fate can be attributed to a Clinton proposal that was never adopted. In April 2012, Clinton indeed advocated for the "overthrow" of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, according to a State Department document released by Wikileaks as part of her email archive. (The email was undated but references a statement made "last week" to CNN's Christiane Amanpour by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak about "the toppling down of Assad." Barak made that statement on April 19, 2012, dating Clinton's email in late April.)

Input: India Could Get Billions from the U.S. To Build a Nuclear Reactor India is negotiating with U.S. Export-Import Bank for an $ 8-9 billion loan to finance six Westinghouse Electric nuclear reactors, two sources familiar with the talks said, although a lending freeze at the trade agency threatens progress. The mega-project, the result of warming U.S.-India ties in recent years, could open up billions of dollars of further investment in India's nuclear power sector, which was for decades shut out of the global market. India now targets a tenfold expansion in capacity to 63,000 MW by 2032, and U.S., French, and Russian companies are among those chasing the business.

Input: Political officials can deplore terms of starve-or-surrender, but once a deal like that is struck, humanitarian agencies can hardly refuse to deliver aid, especially if the alternative is zero relief for trapped civilians. Critics say the United Nations, eager to keep the Syrian government on board for peace talks with opposition groups, is either selling out or getting played. “The regime will continue to use its submit or starve policy because it’s working,” Bissan Fakih of the Syria Campaign, a group pushing for a no-fly zone over Syria, declared on Facebook, “with a big happy stamp of approval by the United Nations” and global powers. Video Officials like Mr. de Mistura, who visited Damascus over the weekend, should be pressing loudly and publicly for unconditional aid access, said Bassam Barabandi, a former Syrian diplomat.

Input: In mid-February, a CIA-armed militia called Fursan al Haq, or Knights of Righteousness, was run out of the town of Marea, about 20 miles north of Aleppo, by Pentagon-backed Syrian Democratic Forces moving in from Kurdish-controlled areas to the east. NEWSLETTER: Get the day's top headlines from Times Editor Davan Maharaj > > “Any faction that attacks us, regardless from where it gets its support, we will fight it,” Maj. Fares Bayoush, a leader of Fursan al Haq, said in an interview. Rebel fighters described similar clashes in the town of Azaz, a key transit point for fighters and supplies between Aleppo and the Turkish border, and on March 3 in the Aleppo neighborhood of Sheikh Maqsud. The attacks by one U.S.-backed group against another come amid continued heavy fighting in Syria and illustrate the difficulty facing U.S. efforts to coordinate among dozens of armed groups that are trying to overthrow the government of President Bashar Assad, fight the Islamic State militant group and battle one another all at the same time.

Input: President Wilson appeared irritated. Mr. Untermeyer considered the matter a few Moments and then volunteered a solution to President Wilson for his problem. Mr, Untermeyer volunteered to give President Wilson's former sweetheart the $ 40,000.00 out of his own pocket on one condition: that Wilson promise Untermeyer to appoint to the first vacancy on the United States Supreme Court a nominee to be recommended to Wilson by Untermeyer. Without further talk, President Wilson accepted Mr. Untermeyer's generous offer and Mr. Untermeyer promptly paid the $ 40,000.00 in currency to President Wilson's former sweetheart. The contemplated breach of promise suit was never heard of after that.

Input: Lincoln (the first Republican President – 1861) was an anti-slavery Republican in his day. In terms of pushing for social justice, using federal power, and taxation his position was similar to today’s progressive social liberal. In modern terms, Lincoln was a bit of an “income tax supporting” “elitist” “social justice warrior” who can be contrasted with his contemporary War Democrats and Southern Unionists like Andrew Johnson and more Conservative or more Radical Republicans (Lincoln was a moderate). Add in figures like Bryan, Calhoun, Cleveland, and Coolidge, or Byrd, Gore, and Thurmond, look at the Great Triumvirate, and consider Teddy Roosevelt is a Republican and FDR and Democrat, and we know that something changed. This page and our related ancillary pages are about “what exactly changed” and “what the changes mean” from a modern perspective in a way that respects all of America’s diverse factions.

Input: Some are arguing that Pence’s inability to defend Trump on countless issues will hurt him. He sure was simply denying some things that are categorically true. And maybe the Clinton camp will be able to construct some future attack ads that will reveal this. But what Trump needs desperately is someone to assure the nervous middle that there will be a grown-up in the Oval Office next to the tantrum-throwing toddler. It was very effective, I’d say, on that count, especially with Republican voters who were looking for reassurance.

Input: Relations were already strained between the US, which backs some rebel groups in Syria, and Russia, an ally of the Syrian government, after a US coalition-led air strike near Isis territory killed at least 62 government soldiers on Saturday. US officials acknowledged there might no longer be any agreement left to salvage after the convoy attack. If the truce is abandoned, it would most likely wreck the last hope of any breakthrough on Syria before the administration of President Barack Obama leaves office in January. A senior Obama administration official said of the ceasefire: “We don't know if it can be salvaged”. “At this point the Russians have to demonstrate very quickly their seriousness of purpose because otherwise there will be nothing to extend and nothing to salvage,” the official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, added.

Input: “For me, it was easy,” the hacker, whose given name is Marcel Lehel Lazar, exclusively told Fox News; “easy for me, for everybody.” If Guccifer and Napolitano are right, Russia may, indeed, have possession of highly-sensitive information courtesy of Clinton’s arrogant failure to adhere to the obligation to use a government email account during her tenure as secretary — a situation worsened by the now-mendacious claim no sensitive information had been sent through the personal account. In fact, if Guccifer is to be believed — as his extradition by the U.S. indicates — news of the Kremlin having obtained potentially top-secret material may be the tip of a gargantuan iceberg. Using a readily available program, the Romanian hacker also claimed he observed “up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world” during sessions on Clinton’s personal server. If just one of those unknown parties was connected to Russia, who the other nine might be could be central to the FBI’s decision whether or not to charge Clinton for mishandling classified information.

Input: Later, the president would say that he had failed to fully appreciate the fear many Americans were experiencing about the possibility of a Paris-style attack in the U.S. Great distance, a frantic schedule, and the jet-lag haze that envelops a globe-spanning presidential trip were working against him. But he has never believed that terrorism poses a threat to America commensurate with the fear it generates. Even during the period in 2014 when isis was executing its American captives in Syria, his emotions were in check. Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s closest adviser, told him people were worried that the group would soon take its beheading campaign to the U.S. “They’re not coming here to chop our heads off,” he reassured her. Obama frequently reminds his staff that terrorism takes far fewer lives in America than handguns, car accidents, and falls in bathtubs do.

Input: In an Oct. 7 statement, U.S. intelligence officials expressed "confidence" that the Russian government directed the leak of Clinton-related e-mails and that the hack was "consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts." The careful phrasing does not amount to beyond-a-reasonable-doubt attribution, which, I suspect, is not possible. Although forensics experts could perhaps track the attack to Russian-speaking individuals or Russian-based servers, there would need to be direct evidence of their ties to government to be certain, and such evidence would be hard to obtain. Vice President Joe Biden has hinted at a response to the "Russian hacking." Presumably, U.S. government hackers will hit a Russian target "under the circumstances that have the greatest impact" so Putin "will know it."

Advertisement-story continues below While the media is screaming bloody murder about vulgar things Trump said eleven years ago, they have decided to ignore the incredible lengths taken by Hillary to attack and belittle dozens of women who were groped and assaulted by her husband. But the media is ignoring far more important matters such as how Hillary’s policies will push America over the tipping point in many different ways with a very damaging impact on America that in most cases, will be irreversible. In regards to fair elections, tax rates, welfare dependency, destruction of our energy industry, the disappearance of our manufacturing base, the collapse of our health care system, the rise of domestic terrorism, the composition of the Supreme Court and the concentration of executive branch power at the expense of legislative power, are all areas now at a critical point in American history.

Input: No one has been convicted of treason in the US in nearly 70 years. Some have wondered if Trump's statement amounts to the solicitation of a crime. But federal law requires using or threatening to use physical force to meet that definition. A few legal scholars say that what Trump said might amount to conspiracy to commit computer fraud, which is defined as intentionally accessing a computer without authorization. But conspiracy requires an agreement.

Input: Let's not lower the bar for Donald Trump: President of the United States is a difficult job that requires wide-ranging knowledge of the American government and the myriad issues that land on the president's desk. Nothing in Trump's career suggests he is in any way prepared to do the job, and nothing he did in even the better moments of the second presidential debate suggested the existence of hidden depths of relevant knowledge and competence. The most telling exchange of the second 2016 presidential debate came in the midst of an extended exchange over tax policy, about an hour of the way into the debate: CLINTON: Well, here we go again.

Input: What Trump has not hesitated to do is take money from anyone and anyplace regardless of who they are and what their values may be as American banks have, one by one, blackballed him because of his shady practices and enormous debt load, which stands at a mind boggling $ 630 million. As aggregated by Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo, the links between Trump and Russian interests are mind boggling: * As Trump’s debt load has grown, he has become increasingly reliant on no-questions-asked loans from sleazy characters close to Putin. Typical is Trump’s Soho development in Manhattan, which foundered because of lawsuits over his all-too-common efforts to defraud investors until secret financing was arranged. The financiers were Salvatore Lauria, a twice-imprisoned Russian immigrant with extensive ties to Putin and the Russian criminal underworld, and Alexander Mashkevich, a Kazakh billionaire once charged with corruption.

Input: The US obsession with the USSR was driven by the hatred and fear of the American ruling class for the legacy of revolutionary socialism expressed, in however distorted its form, by the continued existence of the Soviet Union. But the Cold War was also about securing the dominant position in the global geopolitical order of the United States, by means of NATO and other institutions, vis a vis Washington’s imperialist allies. Following the dissolution of the USSR, the US proclaimed itself the only super-power and announced that it would tolerate no regional, much less global, challenge to its hegemony. The 25 years since the dissolution of the USSR, however, have seen a series of strategic disasters for the United States, undermining the basis of its preeminent global position. Its drive to reorganize the Middle East under its own domination, beginning with the first Gulf War in 1991, has, despite upending the state structures of the Middle East and turning the region into a slaughterhouse, failed to produce any clear strategic advantage for the United States.

Input: While it’s impossible to know whether systemic pro-Hillary Clinton bias at the DNC was decisive in the 2016 Democratic primary race, we now know beyond any doubt that such a bias not only existed, but was endemic and widespread. DNC officials worked to plant pro-Clinton stories, floated the idea of using Sanders’ secular Judaism against him in the South, and routinely ran PR spin for Clinton, even as the DNC claimed over and over it was neutral in the primary. The evidence in the leaks was so clear that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has resigned her role as DNC chair — after her speaking role at the Democratic National Convention this week was scrapped — while DNC co-chair Donna Brazile, who is replacing Wasserman Schultz in the top role, has apologized to the Sanders camp. Pro-Clinton pundits were quick to dismiss what was literally a conspiracy to railroad the Sanders campaign as nothing more than a yawn[.] … what was once dismissed out of hand — that the DNC was actively working against the Sanders campaign — is now obviously true, but not a big deal.

In his frequent statements about foreign countries and their citizens, from our closest friends to our most problematic competitors, Mr. Trump has expressed the most ignorant stereotypes of those countries; has inflamed their people; and has insulted our allies and comforted our enemies.” The letter comes a day after 15 retired generals and admirals released a video endorsing Clinton, part of a broader push by the Clinton campaign to make inroads among conservative voters turned off by Trump. The former secretary of state has been endorsed by 110 retired military officials, while Trump has been endorsed by 120. Clinton has also picked up public endorsements from dozens of former Republican politicians and national security experts, while privately, former President George H.W.

Dozens of ultra-nationalists and separatists have been convicted and jailed for “propagating” their views in recent years, Sova, a Moscow-based human rights group, said in a recent report. “They support people like me abroad, and jail us here,” Dmitry Demishkin, a veteran skinhead and head of the nationalist Russkiye (Russians) party that has repeatedly been denied registration, said in July just days before he was sentenced to 15 days in jail for posting a swastika on his social networking page.

It is the third Russian helicopter lost in action in Syria this year. In July, an Mi-25 attack chopper was shot down near Palmyra, killing two Russian pilots. The aircraft had been engaging the advancing Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS / ISIL) militants at the Syrian Army's request when it was taken down, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. In April, an Mi-28N attack helicopter crashed while performing a flight near the city of Homs, with the Defense Ministry stressing it was not shot down.

Input: Make no mistake, there are more than a few senior intelligence officials in Washington, DC, who are livid about Hillary Clinton’s willful disregard of clearly defined laws on the handling of classified information. Her misconduct endangered sensitive intelligence programs — and lives. Even if Comey is a sacrificial lamb here, there are high-ranking spies who are perfectly willing to leak the sordid details of EmailGate to the media if the president pulls a Dick Nixon and tries to subvert our Constitution to protect himself and his designated successor. And in the unlikely event that nobody in our nation’s capital is willing to go public with exactly what Hillary Clinton did, it now seems the Russians may do so. It’s highly plausible that Russian intelligence services, among others, have many of Clinton’s emails, perhaps all of them, given how slipshod her security arrangements were.

Under the new approval granted by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Avigdor Lieberman, planning for 560 new Jewish homes in the large Maale Adumim settlement east of Jerusalem will be allowed to move forward.

Input: Several officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss Russian capabilities and recent high-level White House meetings on Syria, Iraq and the Islamic State, including a Friday gathering of the National Security Council chaired by President Obama. The NSC session largely focused on the Mosul offensive begun against the Islamic State this week, and an upcoming operation against the militants in the city of Raqqa, their Syrian headquarters. Consideration of other alternatives, including the shipment of arms to U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in Syria, and an increase in the quantity and quality of weapons supplied to opposition fighters in Aleppo and elsewhere, were deferred until later, officials said. U.S. military action to stop Syrian and Russian bombing of civilians was even further down the list of possibilities. Another senior official dismissed what he called Moscow’s “yard sale approach” of displaying all available systems to attract potential purchasers, and said last month’s S-300 deployment did not much change Russian capabilities from where they have been over the past year.

The second reason they have kept this crash quiet is because people could n’t know how severe Clinton’s brain injury really was.

While the scenario of President Clinton serving probation currently appears far-fetched, it can not be ruled out as a possibility, and Clinton’s attorney David Kendall recently negotiated a deal featuring probation for another high-profile official. Former Gen. David Petraeus, credited with helping restore stability in Iraq at the end of the George W. Bush administration before becoming Obama’s CIA director, last year received two years of probation and a fine after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of unlawfully retaining classified information.

The others are holding their cards close to the vest for right now: Ohio’s Rob Portman praised Scalia but would not address the core issue. Spokesmen for Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey declined to comment and Illinois’ Mark Kirk ignored inquiries, per CNN.

Input: When Clinton was notified of Gaddafi’s demise, she declared, “we came, we saw, he died” — and clapped her hands in undisguised glee. It turned out, however, that Gaddafi was right that many of his adversaries in the east were radical jihadists and terrorists, a truth that Clinton learned when U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. personnel were slain by attackers in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. Clinton’s deception around the Libyan “no-fly zone” – as a gateway to yet another brutal U.S .- backed “regime change” – also helped poison U.S. relations with Russia and China, which balked at similar U.S. demands for a “safe zone” inside Syria, an idea that Clinton has advocated both as Secretary of State and as a presidential candidate. In other words, Clinton is no more honest about big things than small, just as the Bible passage foretold, except now the fate of the world may hang in the balance.

RELATED: Conspiracy-a-Rama: A Return to the Paranoid Style in African-American Politics Ignoring the facts, Black Lives Matter promoted the lie, invented by Brown’s robbery accomplice, that Brown had his hands up and was attempting to surrender when he was shot. “Hands Up, Do n’t Shoot” quickly became the anthem of the movement. But this lie was refuted not only by black eyewitnesses testifying before the grand jury convened for the case and by forensic evidence, but by a review conducted by former attorney general Eric Holder’s Justice Department, otherwise bent on demonstrating the existence of bigotry in the Ferguson police department.

Input: Speaking on Saturday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu threatened Syrian Kurds with military action, saying that if there is a threat to Turkey, “we will strike the PYD [Kurdish Democratic Union Party] like we did Qandil,” referring to a violent bombing campaign waged by Turkey against the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) in its Qandil mountain stronghold in northern Iraq. Later in the day, the Syrian government sent an official letter to the UN, strongly condemning Turkish actions and describing it as supporting terrorist groups. “In addition, Turkish artillery bombarded the towns of Maraanaz, al-Malikiyah, Minagh, Ain Dakna and Bazi Bagh, which are home to the civilian population,” the complaint addressed to the UN Secretary General and the UN Security Council said. The letter added that 12 trucks mounted with heavy machine guns and carrying around 100 fighters entered Syrian territory from Turkey through the Bab al-Salam checkpoint on Saturday. The claim was later denied by the Turkish government.

Input: However, Merkel’s allies in parliament postponed it repeatedly out of concern that it could harm relations with Turkish government. Turkey, a majority of whose population is Muslim, accepts that many Christian Armenians died in clashes with Ottoman soldiers beginning in 1915, when Armenia was part of the empire ruled from İstanbul, but denies hundreds of thousands were killed and that this amounted to genocide. Turkey and Armenia have a century-long conflict due to the events of 1915, which are highly disputed in both nations. Turks accept that many Armenians died in 1915 in Anatolia under the Ottoman Empire, but they deny that this number is as high as 1.5 million and instead have an official death toll of about 500,000. Turks say that the events do not constitute an act of genocide, a term that is used not only by Armenians world-wide but also Western politicians, officials, and many historians.

Input: Twelve were killed, including two police officers, and 11 were wounded. Two days later, four were murdered in a Jewish Deli. In November of 2015, terrorists went on a shooting rampage in Paris that slaughtered 130 people, and wounded another 368. France is suffering gravely, and the tourism industry is being massively affected in a most negative way. In March of this year, terrorists detonated a bomb in the Brussels airport, killing 32 and injuring 340.

Input: For more than 10 days, 30,000 troops backed by large numbers of vehicles, aircraft and ships will be deployed in one of the biggest exercises on NATO's eastern flank since the end of the Cold War, a move likely to put further strain on the already-tense relations between the Kremlin and the West. The Anakonda-16 exercise, which includes manoeuvres such as a night-time helicopter assault and the dropping of US paratroopers to build a temporary bridge over the Vistula river, is being held one month before a NATO summit in Warsaw that will approve more troops to be stationed in eastern Europe. The goal of Anakonda-16 is to "train, exercise and integrate the Polish national command and force structures into an allied, joint multi-national environment," the US Army Europe said. The United States will provide around 14,000 troops for the exercise, the largest foreign contingent. Non-NATO countries such as Sweden and Finland are also taking part in the exercise.

Input: But Clinton’s meetings with public officials are a normal part of her daily job at the State Department. The AP correctly tried to analyze who Clinton chose to meet with that are from private interests. Also, whether these individuals gained such access as a result of donating to the Clinton Foundation. The Foundation is meant to be a charity, and not a conduit to sell access or gain political favors. The fact that more than half of those individuals were Clinton Foundation donors can not be explained as coincidence.

Input: In 2011, the Syrian civil war began when President Bashar Al-Assad violently used force to crush dissent among hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy protesters who took to the streets to demonstrate against civil rights abuses. Since then, violence escalated, sectarian conflict emerged, and rebel brigades were formed to fight government forces, with the governments of Syria, Russia, and the United States all launching air strikes on various rebel forces on the ground, resulting in the death and displacement of thousands of civilians in the process. Eastern Aleppo, which was captured by rebel groups in cooperation with Al-Qaida forces now referring to themselves as Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham, is one of the key flashpoints in the Syrian conflict. Beyond Aleppo's status as Syria's largest city and a financial capital, the eastern half of the city also represents the largest victory of the entire conflict for rebel groups. As such, recapturing eastern Aleppo remains a focus of the Assad regime.

Now it’s very, very large and it’s very complex but reduced to its essence it is the allegations, they are just allegations that Mrs. Clinton when she was Secretary of State made decisions for foreign nationals and foreign governments using the authority given to her by the federal law and as a result of those decisions huge, I mean enormous contributions were made to the Clinton Foundation. The largest of these, $ 145 million and it involved Mrs. Clinton allowing a Canadian to buy shares in a uranium mine in Utah which he promptly turned around and sold to the Russians who could never have bought it on their own.” WATCH: Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com

Input: Those albums — which he is using as an example of the larger problem — remain accessible to him through his iTunes library, but only as streams from Apple Music. When he looks in the folder where the Portishead albums used to be, he finds that they are mostly empty. The big problem here is that if Etropolsky ever decides to stop paying for Apple Music, he will lose access to the Portishead albums altogether, because the files Apple has provided to him in lieu of his originals — the ones he bought on CD years ago and ripped onto his hard drive — will disappear as soon as he ceases to be an Apple Music subscriber. The bottom line: Etropolsky used to have some things, Apple took them away and gave him different things, which it will take away from him if he stops giving them money. Why did this happen?

Input: “Brexit will have consequences for the United Kingdom, for all of Europe and for us, of course,” says Putin. Russian President Vladimir Putin today said the British government was “overconfident” and “superficial” in the EU referendum, and denied taking a position on Brexit. The organisation of the referendum was “nothing more than overconfidence and a superficial approach to solving fateful decisions for one’s country, and Europe as a whole, on the part of the British leadership,” Putin said, in comments broadcast on Russian state television. “It will have consequences for the United Kingdom, for all of Europe and for us, of course,” he added.

Input: In her remarks here, Clinton acknowledged that over years in the public eye, she has “built up some defenses” to deal with the charges of her opponents. “When it comes to public service, I'm better at the service part than the public part,” she said. But she defended the initial decision not to disclose her illness until after she appeared to collapse as she left a 9/11 memorial service in New York. “My senior staff knew and information was provided to a number of people,” she said when asked whether her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, was informed. “This was an ailment that many people just power through, and that’s what I thought I would do as well.”

Input: They reveal a number of other manoeuvres by the Putin circle to move cash offshore. There is nothing inherently illegal in using offshore companies. The transactions, however, include apparently fake share deals, with shares “traded” retrospectively; multimillion-dollar charges for vague “consultancy” services; and repeated payments of large sums in “compensation” for allegedly cancelled share deals. In 2011 a Roldugin company buys the rights to a $ 200 m loan for $ 1. “This is not business, this is creating the appearance of business in order to continually move and hide assets,” Andrew Mitchell QC, a leading authority on money-laundering, told BBC Panorama.

Input: He said Russia doesn't need a new Cold War. The United States and the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia in 2014 after it annexed Ukraine's Crimea peninsula and threw its backing to separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. However, as Putin was delivering his speech in St. Petersburg, the EU extended some of those sanctions for another year, including measures targeting imports from Crimea. On top of that, cruise ships from the EU can not call at ports there, in an attempt to hurt the tourism industry. When the EU first imposed sanctions two years ago, Moscow retaliated by banning imports of European meat, vegetable and dairy products, a blow to many of the bloc's members.

Input: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said efforts were being made to track down alleged violations but that there was currently no evidence to suggest it would destabilize the fragile peace. The cessation deal does not include jihadist groups such as Islamic State and the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front and Russia, which is backing the Syrian government with air power, has made clear it intends to keep bombing those groups. Kerry said at a news conference in Washington that he agreed with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to intensify work on a mechanism to ensure any strikes in Syria solely target Islamic State or Nusra Front. An aide to Saudi Arabia's defense minister said on Monday, that defense ministers from the U.S .- led coalition against Islamic State had discussed the possibility of a Syrian ground incursion two weeks ago in Brussels." It was discussed at the political level but it wasn't discussed as a military mission," Saudi Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri told Reuters.

Input: The selling of assets would prevent them from being frozen by U.S. courts if American victims are able to sue. The terrorism bill, which President Obama is threatening to veto, would weaken legal immunity of foreign governments in cases “arising from a terrorist attack that kills an American on American soil.” The language could cause problems for Saudi Arabia if the country is found to have links to 9/11, when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon outside of Washington. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were of Saudi Arabian descent. Separate from the legislative push, members of Congress are discussing the declassification of 28 pages from the 2002 congressional inquiry that reportedly examined the link between forces in Saudi Arabia and 9/11.

Recently, Trump had warned that the November election could be "rigged." Trump supporter Sen. Jeff Sessions suggested that the Democratic presidential candidate used her high position to "extort" from international governments for her family's foundation." The fundamental thing is you can not be Secretary of State of the United States of America and use that position to extort or seek contributions to your private foundation," he told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day" Tuesday." That is a fundamental violation of law and that does appear to have happened."

Maya Foa, a director of Reprieve, said: “It is outrageous for Pakistan’s Supreme Court to claim that schizophrenia is not a mental illness, and flies in the face of accepted medical knowledge, including Pakistan’s own mental health laws. “It is terrifying to think that a mentally ill man like Imdad Ali could now hang because judges are pretending that schizophrenia is not a serious condition.

Input: WikiLeaks canceled a scheduled Tuesday announcement regarding information related to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to an MSNBC reporter. The organization’s founder, Julian Assange, was scheduled to make the mysterious announcement from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he is currently holed up to avoid extradition over rape allegations. WikiLeaks canceled the event “due to security concerns,” according to MSNBC’s Jesse Rodriguez. He did not elaborate on the nature of the concerns, but later tweeted that Assange will appear via video at a Berlin press conference Tuesday morning.

Input: This is n’t a game-changing movie, but one that could keep some less enthusiastic voters on the sidelines. The film carefully curates reality in way to boost anti-Clinton voices. For instance, discussion of Bill Clinton’s role in post-2010 Haiti earthquake completely ignores that George W. Bush also helped raise cash in the wake of the disaster, nor does it acknowledge that one character, the founder of Canadian TD Bank’s sister corporation, TD Ameritrade, also funded Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s super PAC. The film doesn't mention other reasons why Hillary Clinton may have made particular decisions, leaving the viewer with a narrow understanding.

Input: Syria army battles rebels in Golan Heights The ceasefire came into force at sunset on Monday but Isis and the formerly al-Qaeda linked Jabhat al-Nusra group were excluded, while other rebel factions have refused to commit. Despite his forces being part of the truce, President Assad vowed to take back the country from "terrorists" -a term used to describe all opposition groups. Israel has largely remained on the sidelines of the fighting along its border, but has carried out reprisals on Syrian positions when errant fire has previously landed in Israel. The IDF is also widely believed to have carried out airstrikes on arms shipments destined for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a close ally of Assad.

Input: But elites still matter in a democracy. They matter not because they are democracy’s enemy but because they provide the critical ingredient to save democracy from itself. The political Establishment may be battered and demoralized, deferential to the algorithms of the web and to the monosyllables of a gifted demagogue, but this is not the time to give up on America’s near-unique and stabilizing blend of democracy and elite responsibility. The country has endured far harsher times than the present without succumbing to rank demagoguery; it avoided the fascism that destroyed Europe; it has channeled extraordinary outpourings of democratic energy into constitutional order. It seems shocking to argue that we need elites in this democratic age — especially with vast inequalities of wealth and elite failures all around us.

Input: Dr Stanely Borowski, an engineer at Nasa's John Glenn Research Centre, last year outlined how this could then be used to propel a space with its crew through space in a official Nasa paper. He said the spacecraft, called Copernicus, would consist of separate cargo and crewed transfer vehicles, each powered by a nuclear thermal propuslion stage. These would be constructed from a ' core ' that use three engines each capable of producing thrust of around 25,000 lbs of force. He estimates that these vehicles could make the 40 million mile trip to Mars within 100 days. It took the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft carrying Nasa's Curiosity Rover to Mars 253 days to reach the red planet.
