| Donald Trump says the US will no longer tolerate 'chronic trade abuses', as he arrives in Vietnam Posted: 10 Nov 2017 12:26 AM PST  Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on "chronic trade abuses" on Friday, warning an audience of world leaders at a summit in Vietnam that he will always "put America first". The US president also resumed his tough talk on North Korea as he sought to rally Asia-Pacific nations into confronting the "twisted fantasies" of Pyongyang's young leader Kim Jong-un. Mr Trump was speaking to a gathering of CEOs at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the city of Danang after arriving from a three-day visit to Beijing were he had softened his tone on trade and North Korea. U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit at the Aryana Convention Center in Danang, Vietnam, Credit: AP But in Vientnam Mr Trump said that America will not "be taken advantage of any longer" with unequal trade policies. "We can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses and we will not tolerate them," he said. He also struck a defiant tone towards Pyongyang, saying the region's future "must not be held hostage to a dictator's twisted fantasies of violent conquest and nuclear blackmail." Donald Trump's in Asia tour, in pictures During his China trip he called on the North to "make a deal", but also urged China and Russia to increase their efforts in reining in Pyongyang's nuclear weapon's programme. In Vietnam he reverted to the more direct language he used in South Korea earlier in his Asian tour when he spoke of the increasing threat to all nations from Pyongyang's military build-up. Melania Trump meets the pandas at Beijing Zoo 00:55 "Every single step the North Korea regime takes toward more weapons is a step it takes into greater and greater danger," he said. Meanwhile, Chinese president Xi Jinping, who is seeking to pitch Beijing as the centre of a new globalist order, told the summit that globalisation is an "irreversible historical trend". Confusion over Putin meeting The APEC meeting is also being attended by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who was expected by some to meet with Mr Trump. But mixed messages from Washington and Moscow continued on Friday on the potential talks. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said as the US president arrived in Vietnam that a "scheduling conflict" meant the leaders would not be able to formally meet. Donald Trump boards Air Force One to depart for Vietnam from Beijing Airport Credit: Reuters Her comments came a day after secretary of state Rex Tillerson said there was no reason for talks to take place when differences between Washington and Moscow exist over Syria and Ukraine. The White House said it was still possible that Mr Trump could hold an unofficial meeting with his Russian counterpart on the sidelines of the APEC summit, or later when both men will be in the Philippines. And the Kremlin said on Friday that Mr Putin will meet Mr Trump "one way or another". Mr Trump's presidency has been dogged by allegations that his election campaign colluded with Russia to help him get into the White House. An investigation into the matter led by Robert Mueller, the special counsel, recently brought criminal charges against three former advisers to Mr Trump. Chinese media upbeat over 'state visit plus' The US president flew to Vietnam from China, where he made a three-day visit which saw him praising Mr Xi. In one of his final Tweets from the Chinese capital he described his trip as being "very productive" and described Mr Xi as "highly respected".

The Global Times newspaper said Mr Trump was changing his views on China. He had "softening his tone" on trade and had "gradually learned that Beijing is indeed making selfless contributions" towards confronting Pyongyang, it said. Trump all smiles on 'positive' visit to China 01:24 The China Daily said that while differences that had been "pestering bilateral ties" had not "instantly disappeared," it was positive on "the constructive approach to these issues the two leaders demonstrated." After his visit to Vietnam, Mr Trump will on Saturday head to Manila for the East Asia Summit and a meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Mr Trump has also visited Japan during his five-nation 11 day tour of Asia.

NuWu Cannabis Marketplace aims to serve customers in less than a minute from the time they place their orders from their cars, store representatives told the Las Vegas Sun.

Surveillance cameras monitor both inside and outside of the impenetrable window.

"Public space cannot be taken over in this way," Pecresse said at the demonstration alongside the rightwing mayor of Clichy, Remi Muzeau, who like other lawmakers wore a sash in the national colours of blue, white and red.

| Florida parents arrested for neglecting daughter's rotting teeth Posted: 10 Nov 2017 02:38 PM PST  A Florida couple who ignored their daughter's 17 rotting teeth have been charged with neglect Jeremie Ervin Maloy, 31, and Cynthia Grace Maloy, 32, were arrested after it was found they had ignored pleas by their daughter's school to deal with the problem, the New York Daily News reported. Police had been investigating the family since the beginning of the year, according to documents from the Bay County Sheriff's office. The problem was first noticed last autumn at the start of the school year, when the child turned up for class with "severely decayed teeth". An investigation was launched by the local Department of Children and Families in February. Such was the state of the child's teeth, according to court papers, that she was only able to eat soft foods. The girl had also complained of being in pain. School officials made several visits to the family residence, even offering transport to take the child to the dentist . "The Maloys never took advantage of this offer for the sake of the child, but Cynthia Maloy did ask for rides to the nearby dollar store to buy cigarettes and food," police officers wrote in their report. Following a court hearing earlier this week the Maloys were granted bail, but ordered to have no contact with their daughter without the approval of a judge.

"The Israelis, along with many of their Western supporters, are celebrating the British foreign minister's 'promise' of a Jewish national home in Palestine as a document that amounts to the birth certificate of the state of Israel.... The Palestinians remember it as an illegal ominous 'promise' by a colonial power to the Jewish people to establish for themselves a national home in a land that belonged neither to them nor to those who offered them the land.... There are voices calling for a British apology. "Burundi's decision to quit the International Criminal Court is likely to resonate in other African states whose leaders have long complained that they are targeted for investigation by the UN institution...," states an editorial.
