Input: The crash of EgyptAir flight 804 in May was initially suspected to have been caused by a terrorist attack, forcing many tourists to reconsider their travel plans. It's still not clear what brought the plane down, but investigators have found evidence of a fire on board. On top of that, an EgyptAir domestic flight was hijacked in March, and terrorists brought down a Russian plane that took off from an Egyptian tourist airport in late October. Tunisia This small country wedged between Algeria and Libya in northern Africa experienced a near 20% drop in international visitor arrivals in the first quarter of 2016 following two shocking terrorist attacks that targeted tourists.

Input: Kathryn Higley, head of Nuclear Science and Engineering at Oregon State University, described how radiation could spread. She said it was “definitely a possibility” that the North’s underground tests had irradiated the groundwater. But she said the process of building nuclear weaponry was likelier to cause the sickness described. The Soviet Union found that out when it dumped radioactive waste in the Techa River near Russia’s southern Ural Mountains. Dr Higley said:" It got into the river and they didn't tell the people living downstream that they were exposed."

Input: Very early in their political careers, these seven masters of deception by their determination acquired their proficient skill in detecting on which side their political bread was buttered. Their remarkable perfection in that skill provides the answer to why these seven masters of deception went so far and so fast in so few years in the political world in which they moved. Throughout their political careers these seven masters of deception demonstrated that political shrewdness invariably identified with the immoral dogma of 20th century politicians who preach and practice "any means justifies all ends." Accordingly, future grass roots populations of the United States will one day find inscribed in the history of the rise and fall of the United States the verdict that the "means" today advocated by these seven masters of deception were primarily responsible for the "end" of the United States. It is today a well recognized fact of life in political circles in the United States that the censorship exercised today by Zionists over the media for mass information constitutes a virtual monopoly.

Input: In 2015 almost 10,000 Jews emigrated from Europe to Israel, the highest number on record in a single year. 80% of these were from France. Amid the violence in east Ukraine and the economic downturn there was also a 40% increase in the number of Russians immigrating to Israel in 2015, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel. The previous year Jewish leaders in Russia expressed concern over rising anti-Semitic rhetoric in state media amid the nationalist fervour that followed the annexation of Crimea. In the late 19th century anti-Semitic pogroms caused millions of Jews top flee Russia and eastern Europe, while millions more emigrated from Russia to countries including Israel, the USA and Germany during the final two decades of the Soviet Union.

Input: The 9/11 Commission Report found al-Bayoumi to be “an unlikely candidate for clandestine involvement with Islamist extremists.” Yet the 28 pages paint a different picture, relaying FBI reports of al-Bayoumi’s “extensive contact with Saudi government establishments in the United States” and “numerous reports from individuals in the Muslim community, dating back to 1999, alleging that al-Bayoumi may be a Saudi intelligence officer.” More damning, however, are differences between the accounts given by the 9/11 Commission Report and the 28 pages regarding the initial meeting between al-Bayoumi, Nawaf al-Hazmi, and Khalid al-Mihdhar at a restaurant in Culver City, California. Soon after, al-Bayoumi found an apartment for the two men — both of them future 9/11 hijackers — and lent them money for rent. The 9/11 Commission Report suggests that their initial meeting was a coincidence. Again, the FBI account quoted in the 28 pages differs: “There are indications in the files that his [al-Bayoumi’s] encounter with the hijackers may not have been accidental.”

For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody," Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held. Guccifer’s potential role in the Clinton email investigation was first reported by Fox News last month. The hacker subsequently claimed he was able to access the server – and provided extensive details about how he did it and what he found – over the course of a half-hour jailhouse interview and a series of recorded phone calls with Fox News.

In addition to the killings, Islamic State fighters systematically separated Yazidi men and women and carried out rape, sexual mutilation and sterilization to prevent the birth of Yazidi babies, and they transferred captured Yazidi children to the fighters’ families and training camps, cutting them off from Yazidi beliefs and practices and “erasing their identities as Yazidis.” The panel reported in harrowing detail the acute trauma experienced by women and girls as young as 9 who were sold off as spoils of war to become sex slaves of Islamic State fighters, routinely raped and punished with extreme violence if they resisted or tried to escape. Islamic State fighters often targeted younger Yazidi children as a means of punishing their mothers, the report said. It cited an account of a fighter who killed several children after their mother’s effort to escape failed: The mother was then beaten and raped because she cried over their deaths.

Input: We were prepared not only to deter the use of nuclear weapons by others, but also possibly to initiate nuclear warfare, and to use nuclear weapons in battle. Now the tables have turned and NATO is the dominant nonnuclear force in Europe. But other arguments for maintaining the ability to initiate nuclear war remain, positing the utility of “compellance” (also known as “nuclear blackmail”) or using the threat of nuclear attack to extract concessions. This strategy has been used on several occasions. For example, when President Eisenhower threatened the use of nuclear weapons to compel negotiations ending the Korean War.

Input: According to numbers cited in the report, 149 Palestinians were killed in 2015 by Israeli security forces, but only 77 were in the course of attacking Israelis. “There were numerous reports of the ISF (Israel security forces) killing Palestinians during riots, demonstrations, at checkpoints, and during routine operations; in some cases they did not pose a threat to life,” the report read. The numbers clash with Israeli accounts that some two-thirds of Palestinians killed during a wave of violence beginning in October were in the midst of attempting or carrying out attacks and the rest died in clashes with security forces. The report comes months after Secretary of State John Kerry was asked by Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy and nine other US lawmakers to probe instances of what they said were possible extrajudicial killings by Israeli forces. Leahy and his fellow signatories asked Kerry in February to look into claims of “gross violations of human rights” by Israel and Egypt, citing examples of alleged extrajudicial killings by both countries and saying it could affect aid to the countries.

Input: The Russian maneuvers, during which SU-24 fighter-bombers buzzed the USS Donald Cook, were supposed “to simulate a bombing run on the U.S. ships if a war ever broke out between the two nations,” according to a report in The Daily Caller, U.S. Secretary John Keary, when asked to comment on the buzzing of the USS Donald Cook, stated, “under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot-down.” Vladimir Putin has not publicly declared what his motivation actually was for firing the 50 senior officers, the most purged at one time since when Stalin ruled Russia. Some Russian news sites have put forth the possibility that he got rid of the officers in an attempt to prevent the truth about “a crash between a Russian sub and a Polish boat” from coming out. Western military analysts speculate that the purge of the Baltic Fleet officers by Putin might have something to do with the Russian President trying to put an end to the rumored incompetence and corruption rampant in the military there. Or, the reason for the purging of the officers might be because Putin believed that they backed down and did not show enough fierceness and courage during the recent “large-scale military NATO military exercises in the Baltic,” though Russian Su-24 fighter-bombers did “buzzing” of the USS Donald Cook on April 14, 2016.

Input: They will want to see how far they can bend the rules,” she said in a September 2015 speech at the Brookings Institution. “That wo n’t work if I’m in the White House.” To bolster her tough stance, Clinton suggested deploying additional US forces to the Persian Gulf region and recommended that Congress close any gaps in the existing sanctions to punish Iran for any current or future instances of human rights abuses and support for terror. It’s true that the Iran nuclear agreement allowed for additional possible sanctions unrelated to Iran’s nuclear program, but it also required parties to avoid action “inconsistent with the letter, spirit and intent” of the deal.

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

Input: Liberal use of tear gas to break up the frequent flashpoints had helped produce images of unrest all too similar, though on a much smaller scale, to those in the city 18 years ago when violence flared for two days and nights around England's World Cup game against Tunisia. On Friday there were nine arrests and a handful of minor injuries as riot police, out in huge numbers, seemed content to corral the various factions to areas where they could control them and rarely intervened even when large groups were chasing each other around the town in the early hours. Pictures on an "ultras" website showed Russian fans proudly displaying England flags captured during violent exchanges on Friday while groups of locals also weighed in, particularly with the throwing of bottles. The Queen Victoria and next-door Irish bar were forced to close their doors to England fans late last night, and several other bars in the Old Port area have said they will not be showing the England v Russia match on TV. With up to 90,000 fans expected to fill the city and local "ultras" keen to join the fray again, authorities were endeavouring to keep some sort of control and the atmosphere around the stadium and on the route to the fan zones was convivial.

Input: To Mrs. Clinton, that is simply one of the costs of doing (political) business. Immigration: Clinton Explicitly Favors Amnesty, Sanctuary Cities, and “Open Borders” “Hillary will introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to full and equal citizenship within her first 100 days in office,” says the Clinton presidential campaign website.78 Mrs. Clinton pledges that if she is elected president, she will extend President Obama’s two major executive orders on immigration, which protected millions of illegal aliens from deportation.79 She vows to do this despite the fact that Obama himself, prior to issuing his executive orders, frequently acknowledged that such actions went far beyond the proper limits of presidential authority.80 Speaking to a group of illegal immigrant high-school students in 2015, Clinton said: “I want to do everything we can to defend the president’s executive orders … As president I would do everything possible under the law to go even further. ”81 Moreover, Mrs. Clinton unequivocally supports the “sanctuary” policies that bar police and other public-sector employees in some 340 U.S. cities from notifying the federal government about the presence of illegal aliens residing in their communities. As such, these policies defy the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act that Congress passed twenty years ago to require that local governments cooperate with U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).82

Russia insists it chooses its targets carefully to avoid civilian casualties, but rescuers on the ground, human rights groups, and Western governments have all chastized Moscow for bombarding crowded public places in opposition territory since its campaign in Syria began. The U.S. says Russia's strikes use far less precise weaponry than the missiles launched by the American-led coalition fighting against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Both sides, however, have been accused of killing civilians.

The move came in response to the killing of Hallel Yaffa Ariel, 13, who was stabbed to death by a Palestinian while sleeping in her bed on Thursday, and to the shooting of Rabbi Miki Mark and the injuring of his family as they were driving near Hebron a day later. Both Ariel and Miki Mark’s wife Chava Mark, who was seriously injured in the attack, are American citizens, but Kirby indicated their citizenship did not play a role in any US response to the attacks. “Any death and any injury is significant when it results from this sort of violence,” he said, reiterating Washington’s condemnation of the attacks.

Suspect Gyulchekhra Bobokulova from Muslim-majority Uzbekistan — whom the press have dubbed "the bloody nanny" — was detained on Monday as she was waving the child's severed head outside a Moscow metro station. She was sent for psychiatric examinations." It was what Allah ordered," the 38-year -old told journalists as she was brought into the district court to have her arrest confirmed and extended. Speaking in broken Russian from the suspect's cage, Bobokulova said:" Allah is sending a second prophet to give news of peace "and also complained that she was" hungry ", had not been fed and would" die in a week ".

Democratic National Committee chairwoman and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has resigned following the release of nearly 20,000 emails revealing how the Democratic Party favored Hillary Clinton and worked behind the scenes to discredit and defeat Bernie Sanders. The emails were released Friday by WikiLeaks. In one email, DNC Chief Financial Officer Brad Marshall suggested someone ask Sanders about his religion ahead of the Kentucky and West Virginia contests. Brad Marshall wrote, quote," It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief.

Input: Although worshipers at the Riga Mosque say that volunteers for the Islamic State represent a minuscule minority within an already small minority — and that any radicalization is strongly discouraged by most of the mosque’s few hundred active worshipers — local news outlets have played up the news, and have set nerves on edge. Those who have traveled to Syria, though exceptions, are enough to convince many of Latvia’s politicians that the arrival of Muslim immigrants could present new security threats. “I think that covering one’s face in public at a time of terrorism presents a danger to society,” said Vaira Vike-Freiberga, a former president of Latvia whose family fled the country when it was taken over by the Soviet Union during World War II. “It’s as simple as that.” “Anybody could be under a veil or under a burqa,” she said.

Input: Saudi Arabia has achieved some of its objectives. Low prices tossed water on the U.S. oil boom, and energy companies have cut as much as $ 1 trillion in new projects, creating a possible supply hole in the next decade. The kingdom has also scared investors who are now more likely to think twice before plunging money into risky oil ventures. And from the U.S. to China, sales of gas-guzzling cars have soared, bolstering demand. For all the justifications, the last two years have n’t panned out as Riyadh thought they would.

Input: James R. Schlesinger, who was Secretary of Defense at the time, issued a directive to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that “any emergency order coming from the president” should be diverted to Schlesinger before any action was taken, according to James Carroll’s “House of War,” a history of the Pentagon. The directive may have been illegal, but it remained in place. Because many Republicans are boycotting Trump’s campaign, those who agree to join risk being viewed, as a former Cabinet secretary put it to me, as part of “a staff full of Ollie Norths.” (In 1987, testifying to Congress about his role in the Iran-Contra scandal, the White House aide Oliver L. North said, “If the Commander-in-Chief tells this lieutenant-colonel to go stand in the corner and sit on his head, I will do so.”) Watching Trump on the campaign trail, Timothy Naftali, the former director of the Nixon Presidential Library, said, “Trump tweets what Nixon knew not to say outside his inner circle, and we know what he said from the tapes. What Nixon would do is project onto situations the conspiracies that he would have concocted if in the same position. Nixon was convinced that the Democrats were spying on him.

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.

Turkey was n’t doing enough to stop the smuggling of foreign fighters and weapons across the border. ‘If the American public saw the intelligence we were producing daily, at the most sensitive level, they would go ballistic,’ Flynn told me. ‘We understood Isis’s long-term strategy and its campaign plans, and we also discussed the fact that Turkey was looking the other way when it came to the growth of the Islamic State inside Syria.’ The DIA’s reporting, he said, ‘got enormous pushback’ from the Obama administration.

But based on what the administration has said publicly, Schiff said, “you would imply this was a cyberattack, not the result of some accidental technological malfunction.” If that’s the case, the lawmaker vowed: “We’ll get to the bottom of where it came from and the figuring out, of course, the why, is also of vital importance.”

Input: Ulbricht is the founder of the Silk Road, the first deep web black market to achieve significant popularity, and was convicted in 2015 of drug, conspiracy, and hacking charges. His supporters have painted him as more inspired by Libertarian ideals around drug use than someone who wanted to become a drug kingpin. Though transcripts from his trial indicated he ordered six different murders on perceived enemies, he was never charged for them. Vocativ asked specifically about Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who gave to WikiLeaks, among other things, video of an Army helicopter shooting Reuters journalists; Jeremy Hammond, the Anonymous member sentenced to ten years for hacking, among other things, intelligence company Stratfor; Barrett Brown, a journalist sentenced to 63 months for several related charges, including linking to hacked Stratfor documents in a chatroom; and journalist Matthew Keys, who after working as a social media manager for a news organization that shared an owner with the Los Angeles Times, passed login credentials to an unknown Anonymous hacktivist who then defaced one Times story for 40 minutes.

Thousands more have disappeared after initial arrest by State forces or while moving through Government-held territory, or have gone missing after abduction by armed groups," wrote the commission, which was created by the Human Rights Council but operates independently from the UN's human rights office.

Input: "People engaging in such violent acts have no place in football," it said in a statement. Marseille's emergency services said 31 people were injured in Saturday's disorder, including one middle-aged man who was knocked unconscious, and one England supporter who suffered a heart attack. Broken glass and debris littered some roads and alleys near the waterfront, the focal point of clashes between English, Russian and French fans. The clouds of tear gas produced images of unrest all too similar, though on a much smaller scale, to those in the city 18 years ago when violence flared for two days and nights around England's World Cup game against Tunisia. While the tournament is being played under a state of emergency after militant Islamists attacked Paris in November, French police will be under pressure to snuff out the fan violence.

We have massive trade deficits.” He also says, “In a deal, you always have to be prepared to walk”—as if the 28 nations of NATO were opposing sides in a contract dispute, not members of a mutually beneficial, trusting alliance.

So why did the NYPD spy on me for years?] Based on this assumption, think-tanks, intelligence agencies and academic departments linked to the national security apparatus have spent millions of dollars since 9/11 conducting research on radicalization. They hoped to find a correlation between having extremist religious ideas, however defined, and involvement in terrorism.

Input: McCain then awkwardly avoided a local TV reporter who tried to follow up. Republicans, who have struggled to convince voters that they are capable of governing, talked a big game in years past about the need to be more than just “the party of no.” That messaging is gone now. The prospect of four more years in the wilderness suggests that they will move back toward unapologetic obstruction. Right now, however, they are in damage control mode. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who is up for reelection in Iowa, promised yesterday to not automatically “stonewall” any Clinton pick.

Input: TV shows are n’t, either. Bradley Cooper also played an anti-Semite who ends up in a body brace after trying to suck his own dick on Nip / Tuck, but I’d venture to guess this does not resemble the man IRL. Also, while not the most outspoken actor in the world when it comes to politics, Cooper is a longtime Democrat, having donated some shekels to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008, and orchestrated POTUS’s Obamacare-promoting appearance on his pal Zach Galifianakis’s program Between Two Ferns. There is, it should be noted, a degree of political bias in Hollywood. Stars on the right like Jon Voight, Clint Eastwood, and Gary Sinise often find themselves the subject of ridicule for their political beliefs, while other high-profile Republicans like Adam Sandler and Vince Vaughn rarely speak out because of it.

Input: Other societies don't like their countries to be manipulated by U.S. covert operations. Removing a leader, even if done "successfully," doesn't solve any underlying geopolitical problems, much less ecological, social, or economic ones. A coup d'etat invites a civil war, the kind that now wracks Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. It invites a hostile international response, such as Russia's backing of its Syrian ally in the face of the CIA-led operations. The record of misery caused by covert CIA operations literally fills volumes at this point.

Input: In May 2014, the CNI hosted a roundtable discussion at which the director of the Kremlin-backed Institute for Democracy and Cooperation strongly defended Russia’s position in Ukraine. In April, Trump chose the CNI as the venue for his first major foreign policy speech, and the audience included Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort has longstanding ties to Ukraine’s Kremlin-backed former President Viktor Yanukovych, advising on campaigning for his Party of Regions in the 2006 parliamentary elections and paving the way for Yanukovych’s ascent to prime minister and then the presidency, from which he was ousted in 2014 amid massive pro-EU protests. Ukrainian parliamentarian Serhiy Leshchenko wrote in The Guardian that he had seen “so-called ‘shadow accounting’ documents” that show “a total of $ 12.7 m of payments made to Manafort” by the Party of the Regions, at least $ 2.2 million of which, according to the AP, was channeled to two prominent Washington lobbying firms in 2012. Manafort denies any wrongdoing, though the very public discussion of his Ukrainian business connections certainly played a part in his being sidelined as Trump’s campaign manager in mid-August.

Input: The result is a sharp tension at the heart of the Obama administration’s foreign policy. Team Obama tries to take the long view, and occasionally succeeds — see the Paris climate change agreement or the Iran nuclear deal. But the issues that command attention from both the American public and American allies often are more immediate, and require the Obama administration to divert resources toward daily crises that they would prefer to mostly ignore. These issues, like Syria, have come to define Team Obama’s time in office in the public eye. So you get an administration that wants to pivot to Asia but ends up leading a war on ISIS.

Input: Retail sales in June shrank for a record 18th month, plunging 5.9 percent from a year earlier, the Federal Statistics Service in Moscow said on Tuesday. “It’s not possible for consumption to expand,” said Dmitry Polevoy, chief economist for Russia at ING Groep NV in Moscow. “Salaries are n’t growing or are growing much more moderately than they used to, lending is declining.” As Russia pivots from a consumer-driven growth model after the crash in oil prices, the crisis is decimating the middle class and millions are sinking into poverty.

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: False alarms are so common that I actually suspect the system would fail to respond to a real Russian launch. I just ca n’t imagine Bushes, Clintons, or Barack Obama retaliating while there’s even a glimmer of doubt about an attack. My guess is that they would all decide to risk waiting to be sure an attack was underway, that it was n’t a false alarm or cyberattack, instead of hastily opting for certain nuclear holocaust. Given what we know about human beings and confirmation bias, launch under attack is probably less dangerous than just pointless. The problem, though, is what happens in a crisis.

He then almost appeared to segue into the standard attack lines of his rally speeches, setting aside jokes to bring up material contained in hacked Clinton campaign emails."

Between 2013 and 2015, she earned $ 21.6 million in speaking fees, according to the Associated Press. In remarks earlier this year, she defended these payments, saying she merely took what the market had to offer. For a Democratic Presidential candidate facing an insurrection on the left, those remarks seemed remarkably tin-eared. It almost seemed as if Clinton was oblivious to her privileged position.

In the interview Wednesday, he also said he would not pressure Turkey about purges or crackdowns on civil liberties following the failed coup last weekend. Claiming that the U.S. has to "fix our own mess" before intervening in the running of other countries, Trump told the Times he would press the hard-line nationalist "America First" theme of his campaign."

Input: According to the constitution, Nigmatilla Yuldoshev, the chairman of the upper house of parliament, is supposed to take over after Karimov's death, and elections must take place within three months. However, analysts do not consider Yuldoshev a serious player. His erstwhile counterpart in Turkmenistan, who was also supposed to become interim leader after the death of authoritarian president Saparmurat Niyazov in 2006, was quickly detained and thus eliminated from the line of succession. Whoever succeeds Karimov will need to balance carefully between the West, Russia and China, which all vie for influence in the resource-rich Central Asian region. Another task of the new leader will be resolving tensions with ex-Soviet neighbors Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan over disputed borders and the use of common resources such as water.

Input: Fox News’s Andrew Napolitano said on Tuesday that FBI director James Comey calling Hillary Clinton “extremely careless” is like historians claiming that “John Wilkes Booth was extremely careless at Ford’s theater.” Andrew Napolitano, Screen Grab Fox News, 7-12-2016 In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Napolitano said, “there’s a lot of people that have devoted a lot of time into [the Clinton classified email invesigation] who are unhappy with the outcome.” (RELATED: Congress To Ask FBI To Investigate Hillary For Lying Under Oath [VIDEO]) In spite of the conclusion of the FBI investigation into Clinton over her email use, “There are three investigations of Mrs. Clinton right now,” Napolitano said. “The one that has not started has been referred to the Congress is her lying to the Congress and misleading the Congress.

Input: Kaine is one of the most vocal lawmakers to push for a new war authorization against the Islamic State, criticizing the White House for conducting what he calls an illegal war. He’s repeatedly slammed his colleagues in Congress for refusing to debate the war and teamed up with Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona to try to force votes on the measure. Kaine’s stand breaks with Clinton, who said in a November debate that the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force against Al-Qaeda covers the war against ISIL, though she added she’d like to see it updated. Compare that to Kaine, who at an April hearing suggested the U.S. fight in Syria was no different from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “What I struggle with is how can we criticize the Russian incursion into Ukrainian sovereignty when we are carrying out now escalating military operations in Syria without the permission, and really even against the will, of the sovereign of that nation," he said.

Input: MALLS HAVE BEEN TARGETED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM-BUT NONE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN RECENT YEARS Britain's shopping malls have been targeted by terrorists – although none have succeeded in recent years. In 2007 police foiled an Al Qaeda plot to detonate a fertiliser bomb at the busy Bluewater shopping centre in Kent. Last year, Mohammed Rehman was convicted of plotting a bomb attack on the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks on London. He had asked his Twitter followers whether he should attack the capital's Westfield shopping centre. Security officials have made plans for an attack.

Input: The officials played down any ISIS role in the attack. The origins of the attack are unclear. April 21, 2016-ISIS supporters who had defected from another jihadist group in the Philippines issued a video showing the undated execution of two men, claiming they were spies. The attack is believed to have been inspired by ISIS. April 23, 2016-ISIS claimed the assassination of a university professor in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, but officials cast doubt on the claim.

Input: "Let me be clear: America and the world are measurably less safe and less respected because of the Iran deal Hillary helped cut." The facts: The nuclear deal was agreed to by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, and Germany. By all accounts, it delays the time Iran would have to build a nuclear weapon if it breaks the deal to more than a year from three months, requires limits on enrichment, and set up inspections and monitoring for up to 25 years. Separately, 29 scientists and engineers called the deal "technically sound, stringent and innovative." Republicans opposed the deal en masse while most Democrats backed it, a notable exception being U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).

Input: The suspect was arrested at a hotel in central Prague and the alleged hacker did n’t resist, Czech police said. Authorities told various news outlets that the suspect was arrested on Oct. 5 but the announcement was delayed for "tactical" reasons. The arrest drew attention in the U.S. given the ongoing hacks of major U.S. political institutions, such as the Democratic National Committee, which the Obama administration believes Moscow officials are orchestrating. But two U.S. law enforcement officials told POLITICO that investigators see no connection between the man arrested and these digital intrusions, which have also hit top government and campaign personnel. “The individual was arrested for criminal activity unrelated to any U.S. political activity,” said one official, who asked not to be named.

Input: “Despite the fact that their leader says they have nothing to do with this, the information and documents obtained by our interior ministry and all our intelligence organisations shows that [the attack] was theirs,” he said. On Thursday morning a bomb detonated by remote control hit security forces travelling in a military vehicle on a road linking Diyarbakır to the district of Lice. The military said six people died and one was seriously injured. Turkish artillery in the south of the country shelled positions of Kurdish fighters in Syria for the fifth day in a row on Wednesday, despite calls from both the US and Russia to cease all hostilities towards the YPG in Syria. Turkish military also conducted airstrikes against several PKK targets in northern Iraq.

Input: An email also from this time period documented Clinton's concern about getting a government email account. In November 2010, Clinton wrote to Abedin:" Let's get separate address or device but I don't want any risk of the personal being accessible.” Though Clinton said all her work-related emails were turned over, this document was provided not by Clinton but by Abedin. While Clinton swore under oath last fall all records had been provided, campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement that Clinton did not have all the emails." We understand Secretary Clinton had some emails with Huma that Huma did not have, and Huma had some emails with Secretary Clinton that Secretary Clinton did not have," he said. He asserted the November 2010 email shows that “contrary to the allegations of some, Secretary Clinton was not seeking to avoid any use of government email.

Input: That was the news yesterday. COLE: Look, I think there’s a lot of hyperbole going on here, tongue-in-cheek speaking. I think the central issue here, and I think Democrats know it, is the fact they’ve got a nominee that 56 percent of the American people think should’ve been indicted for the manner in which she handled the classified information. And then 70 percent of the electorate say they do n’t trust. So I’m not surprised they’re trying to come at a Republican as opposed to deal with their own problems.

Input: (Bonnie Jo Mount / The Washington Post) At another point, Trump complained about the costs of defending South Korea and protecting the Pacific. He asked why the United States is n’t fully reimbursed for the costs of such endeavors. When asked whether he thought, apart from the financial obligations, the United States gained something of value from having bases in such areas and by implication projecting power around the world, he replied, “I personally do n’t think so.” “So you do n’t think the U.S. gains by being the force that helps keep peace in the Pacific?” he was asked.

Input: It is becoming more and more obvious that at the very least, Wikileaks is being used as a political pawn in the power struggle between the United States and Russia. Regardless of whether you believe the evidence released is damning, or just the equivalent of office drama and gossip, the fact that foreign entities are trying to manipulate our elections should be concerning. The Wikileaks email scandal has already forced the chair of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to resign. It has caused a minor uproar in the party with Bernie Sanders supporters who rightly feel that the DNC was not being impartial with the candidates. However, as Symone Sanders stated on Twitter, it did n’t cost Bernie Sanders the election.

Input: The findings of this research — conducted in collaboration with NATO and Pentagon counter-terrorism consultant, Professor Anne Speckhard of Georgetown University, a specialist in the psycho-social factors in radicalisation — have been published in their book released in July, ISIS Defectors: Inside Stories of the Terrorist Caliphate, as well as in their recent paper in the peer-reviewed Perspectives on Terrorism journal. They draw on these interviews to explain that direct Turkish sponsorship of ISIS is an open secret within the terror network: “Despite Erdogan’s claims that he is fighting ISIS, evidence indicates that he has been, and continues to be, deeply complicit in allowing ISIS to transport, not just recruits via Turkey, but also weapons and supplies. These chilling facts have been confirmed over and again during our ISIS defector interviews. A former emir told us that ISIS had been able to construct thousands of propane tank bombs from supplies they brought in through Turkey.”

Input: MOSCOW The Russian and Syrian air forces have halted all air strikes on Aleppo, two days ahead of a planned pause in bombing designed to allow rebels and civilians to leave the city, the Russian defense minister said on Tuesday. The announcement, by Sergei Shoigu, follows a promise made by Moscow on Monday to pause strikes on Thursday for eight hours. Shoigu, in a televised meeting with military officials, said strikes had been halted from 1000 local time (0700 GMT) on Tuesday to help guarantee the safety of six corridors for civilian evacuation and to prepare for the removal of sick and wounded people from eastern Aleppo. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said Russian warplanes had launched heavy raids on Aleppo early on Tuesday, but that it had been quiet after that. Shoigu said Russia now expected militants to leave Aleppo, with their weapons, via two special corridors, one via the Castello Road and the other near the Al-Khai Souq market.

Input: As they seek to maximize gains before the talks, all sides are inflicting new pain on civilians. Even now, as the Syrian government promises to allow United Nations aid into Madaya as soon as Monday — as international outrage over reports of starvation mounts — government forces are tightening a new siege on another rebel-held town, Moadhamiyeh, a suburb of Damascus. “Surrender or you will be annihilated,” was the message residents say Mr. Assad’s negotiators delivered to Moadhamiyeh — which endured a chemical weapons attack in 2013 and a two-year siege that ended with a deal favoring the government. Using hunger as a weapon flies in the face of international law. Yet global and regional powers — like Russia, Iran, the United States and Saudi Arabia — are unable or unwilling to pressure their battlefield allies.

Input: Kiev says the incident never happened, and was concocted to create a phoney pretext for a new invasion. The United States and European Union also say there is no evidence it took place. Whether the plot is real or imagined, Moscow has cranked up its military activity in Crimea at the same time as holding a series of what it says are pre-planned war games and missile deployments in the area. Putin, who is expected to visit Crimea later this week in a show of support, convened his Security Council and canceled the next round of international talks meant to turn the shaky ceasefire in eastern Ukraine into a lasting peace. But his response-deliberately refocusing international attention back on eastern Ukraine and the lack of progress in implementing a peace deal there-suggests Putin is trying to milk the latest Crimean crisis as part of a diplomatic power play he hopes will eventually kill Western sanctions.

Input: She said she paved the way for it by getting punishing international sanctions imposed on the Islamic republic when she served as secretary of state. But she warned it would be wrong to move too quickly toward rapprochement with Tehran." We have one good day over 36 years," Clinton said, after a week in which frenzied diplomacy resulted in the freeing of 10 U.S. Navy sailors captured by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and a prisoner swap that saw four imprisoned Americans freed by Iran. Clinton stressed that she had a three-point plan to crush ISIS in Syria and Iraq and to end the brutal civil war in Syria. Seeking to hold his ground on foreign policy, Sanders, meanwhile, warned that it would be wrong to send more Americans into the "quagmire of Syria" and once again brought up the cautionary tale of the war in Iraq that Clinton, then a senator, voted to authorize in 2002.

Input: Instead, the official claims that the question was for a panel Brazile was set to appear on. But Mediaite notes that the question asked by town hall co-host Roland Martin was very similar to the message Brazile sent to Palmieri. “Secretary Clinton, since 1976, we have executed 1,414 people in this country. Since 1973, 156 who were convicted have been exonerated from the death row. This gentleman here is one of them,” Martin said in his introduction of Jackson, citing statistics that were included in the same email Brazile sent to the campaign.

Input: U.N. special envoy Staffan de Mistura said he anticipated an early resumption of talks between the Syrian government and the opposition. Meslet said the opposition would return to talks if the new plan is implemented. But, he said, “we have to see something — food [must] go to children who are starving to death. Then we’ll go sit at the same table” with the government. “I ca n’t stop [Vladimir] Putin,” he said of the Russian president.

Even the criminal “keeps the inviolable right to life,” said Pope Francis.

Input: The footage featured the Republican nominee making remarks about women, which the Trump campaign described as mere locker room banter and liberals attacked as “misogyny” and “proof” of sexual assault. Nonetheless, the Democratic nominee’s criticisms fell far short of what many had expected. The presence at Washington University of both Hillary’s husband Bill and a series of women who had accused the former President of rape, sexual assault, and general sexual impropriety definitely restricted what she could say about the Trump video. Better yet, Trump strengthened his position by reiterating the inappropriateness of what was said in 2005 but also categorically denying that he had ever sexually assaulted women. The Clinton campaign is so used to Trump not saying that he’s wrong that it had no back-up plan for the very deft response he gave to his critics last night.

Input: Attacks on Jill Stein’s ideas are misleading, hypocritical, or both Stein is n’t perfect, and Clinton partisans have seized on some of her mistakes and flaws to attempt to discredit her as a candidate. Some of their individual critiques of Stein are fair, but many are misleading. Stein critics also apply a hypocritical and deceptive double standard when calling Stein’s behaviors "disqualifying." On practically every issue social justice advocates say we care about, Stein is much more with us ideologically than is Clinton

Input: But call it ideology, political calculation, emotions, a blinkered view of America’s role, whatever you like — Clinton’s treatment of China has come close to screwing it all up. She was prepared to sabotage the alliance over the Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, who escaped house arrest as Clinton entered the country in 2012 and demanded asylum at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. Though she successfully negotiated for Chen to leave the country, her attitude, according to an advisor, was, “If the relationship has to suffer, we’re going to take the hit.” Abuse is regrettable, but she should have shut up. It’s not our business how they treat their people.

Input: UEFA, the governing body of European soccer, also condemned the fans, saying ' ' people engaging in such violent acts have no place in football.'' The match itself passed off without incident in the stands until moments after the final whistle, when a large group of Russia fans stormed a section of England supporters behind the goal. The Russians threw objects and broke through a line of stewards, forcing the England fans-including young children-to flee for the exits in panic, with some having to vault railings to escape. Each side blamed the other for provoking the violence during the day, and England supporters complained that the French riot police did not do enough to halt the fighting. Alexander Shprygin, head of the All-Russian Fans ' Union, a body with backing from the Russian government and soccer authorities, told The Associated Press by telephone that the police had broken up fights between English and Russian supporters.

Input: Gerald Thomas, of Detroit, holds a sign in the rain while protesting at Campus Martius in downtown Detroit on Friday July 8, 2016 during a protest of recent shootings involving police officers. (Photo: Ryan Garza, Detroit Free Press) Back in the 1990s, when her husband was pushing a crime bill that would eventually imprison millions of African-American men, Clinton exploited white fears of black “super-predators.” In her 2008 presidential primary contest with Obama, she pandered to the anti-immigration crowd by saying she’d deny drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants. She has reversed herself on both issues.

Input: Also, today's factory jobs require more education and skills, leaving many less-educated Americans on the sidelines. Trump also said that the nation will lose millions more jobs if Hillary Clinton is elected because she will adopt the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which the former secretary of state had supported but now opposes. His comments here are misleading, too, because only Congress has the power to ratify trade agreements. We therefore rate Trump's statement as true, but misleading, because there were many other factors beyond trade that led to the decline in manufacturing employment after China entered the WTO.

Input: Assange has been living in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for four years to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning on suspicion of rape. In a statement last month, FBI director James Comey said the FBI "did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws," but that the use of a private email server was "extremely careless." Comey advised the Justice Department that "no charges are appropriate in this case," and career prosecutors agreed. Assange noted that, had a case proceeded, Clinton could have been prosecuted under the Espionage Act of 1917, which bans the disclosure of classified information to an unauthorized person "with intent or reason to believe that the information is to be used to the injury of the United States." Assange said in the past courts have found that a lack of intent to harm the United States did not absolve the accused of guilt.

Input: Bernie Sanders is not an internationalist. He is an American nationalist. He is a consistent advocate of economic nationalism and protectionism, which seek to place the onus for layoffs and unemployment in the US on the workers of other countries. By virtue of his “America First” politics, he seeks to line up American workers behind “their” American exploiters and in opposition to their class brothers and sisters in other countries. He has long agitated, in particular, against China, opposing trade deals from a chauvinist standpoint.

Input: Mike Pence won the vice presidential debate with Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, full stop. Pence, who worked in conservative talk radio before moving to electoral politics, was calm, smooth, and steady. He was an effective advocate for conservative ideology, a polished voice for lower taxes, less redistribution, a more aggressive posture on the global stage (against Russia especially), and new restrictions on abortion. Against Kaine — who interrupted, cross-talked, and spoke in a rapid, hurried clip — Pence looked commanding, almost presidential. And on Twitter, pundits and observers began immediate speculation about the vice presidential nominee’s prospects for 2020, should Donald Trump lose the election for president.

Input: According to the UN, only around 35 doctors remain in eastern Aleppo, where an estimated 250,000 people have been under siege by government forces since early September. The MSF statement cited numbers from the east Aleppo health directorate, showing that from September 21 to 26, the few hospitals still functioning in the rebel-held part of the city received some 278 dead bodies, including at least 96 children.

Input: Like its manipulation of the Constitution’s treaty process, this White House subverted that assent to convince Americans that they live in a different, less dangerous world. Operating as if we live in that different world, though, is a treacherous illusion. Some of the tangible results, not yet a year after the Iran deal: the consolidation of hard-liner power in Iran; the collapse of the ban on Iran’s testing of ballistic missiles; the collapse of the arms control regimes preventing Iran from buying heavy weapons and missiles from Russia; Iran’s staging of multiple new ballistic missile tests; and, finally, that Iran has generated so much new enriched uranium, they’ve had to ship tons to Russia. Reconstructing the truth is n’t new for Rhodes who, based on Samuels’ account, still clings to the juvenile literary tastes and the mock rebellious pose of the Williamsburg hipster he once was.

Input: It is what NOAA calls an oceanic battlefield. And the federal agency said it is working to determine exactly what happened there, just as historians would on a land battlefield. NOAA is also considering expansion of its nearby Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, which protects the wreck of the famous Civil War vessel, to include the U-boat, the Bluefields and other historic shipwrecks in the area. An estimated 90 vessels — including U-576 and three other subs — were sunk there between January and July 1942, NOAA said. And 1,600 men — 1,100 of them merchant seamen — were lost.
