US warns Hong Kong on illicit North Korea trade Posted: 24 Jan 2018 06:48 AM PST A senior United States official warned Hong Kong authorities Wednesday they must stop the city being used as a "safe harbour" for illicit trade with North Korea, in violation of United Nations sanctions. The warning came weeks after a Hong Kong-flagged ship was seized in South Korea for transferring oil products to another vessel. The UN -- at the urging of the US -- has imposed a series of sanctions against North Korea aimed at tightening the economic screws on Pyongyang over its missile and nuclear programme. |

Three dead as packed Italy commuter train derails Posted: 25 Jan 2018 11:52 AM PST Three women were killed and a dozen people seriously injured after a packed Italian commuter train derailed on Thursday near the northern city of Milan. Witnesses told the media the regional train began to shake heavily as if it were running over rocks, before braking suddenly and derailing. Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni promised that full light would be shed on the circumstances of the crash, whose cause was not immediately clear. |

Venezuela's presidential battle begins, Maduro favorite Posted: 24 Jan 2018 03:28 PM PST By Andrew Cawthorne and Andreina Aponte CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's presidential election race has begun with favorite and incumbent Nicolas Maduro signaling a nationalist, "anti-Trump" campaign while his demoralized foes scramble to find a viable candidate for a vote they predict will be unfair. Critics of the 55-year-old Maduro, who succeeded Hugo Chavez in 2013, say he has ruined a once prosperous oil economy, turned Venezuela into a dictatorship and skewed the election system to perpetuate power for his Socialist Party. Government officials say they are fighting a U.S.-led right-wing conspiracy determined to end socialism in Latin America, hobble Venezuela's economy, and steal its oil wealth. |

Posted: 25 Jan 2018 03:14 AM PST The parents who allegedly imprisoned and tortured their 13 children, keeping some of them shackled to their beds, have been barred from contacting them by a California judge. David and Louise Turpin were ordered to stay 100 yards from the siblings and have no electronic contact for three years. The 56-year-old and his 49-year-old wife were shackled as they appeared in the state Superior Court in Riverside, California. |
NATO chief says Turkey has right to defend itself amid Syria campaign Posted: 25 Jan 2018 10:03 AM PST NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday that member state Turkey had a right to act in self-defence as Ankara presses a military operation against Kurdish-held positions in northern Syria. "All nations have the right to defend themselves, but this has to be done in a proportionate and measured way," Stoltenberg said in a statement issued by his office. Turkey launched an offensive against the Kurdish YPG militia on Saturday in their enclave of Afrin, supporting Syrian rebels with air strikes and ground troops. |

Gunmen cross from Nigeria, attack Cameroon border post: witnesses Posted: 25 Jan 2018 07:52 AM PST By Josiane Kouagheu DOUALA (Reuters) - Gunmen attacked a border crossing in Cameroon's southwest on Thursday, launching their assault from Nigeria, according to security officials who witnessed the incident. A Nigerian military spokesman denied the assailants had crossed over from Nigeria, and the incident is likely to further damage relations between the neighbours, strained over the rise of an Anglophone Cameroonian separatist movement. |

Trump v. Mueller: risks in a political showdown Posted: 25 Jan 2018 10:27 AM PST Donald Trump has said he "would love" to be interviewed under oath in special prosecutor Robert Mueller's probe into possible collusion between Trump's presidential campaign and Russia. -- Did the Trump campaign collude with Russia's efforts to influence the election, which included leaking hacked Democrat files and communications and an extensive misinformation campaign? -- Did Trump try to illegally obstruct the collusion investigation, via public comments and the firing of FBI director James Comey in early 2017? |

Astronomers really hate that bright disco ball satellite secretly launched to space Posted: 25 Jan 2018 11:28 AM PST On Thursday, the rocket company Rocket Lab announced that it had secretly launched the Humanity Star, a satellite in the shape of a reflective sphere that effectively works as a disco ball and could at times become the brightest object in the night sky. The Humanity Star was launched as a way to unite all who see it under the night sky, according to Rocket Lab. SEE ALSO: A satellite secretly launched by a little rocket is expected to be 'the brightest thing in the night sky' "The Humanity Star is intended to serve as a focal point for humanity as every single person on Earth will have the opportunity to see and experience it," Rocket Lab said in a statement. But certain people on Earth aren't exactly pleased. Just after Rocket Lab announced the surprise launch of the satellite, many astronomers tweeted their annoyance that the New Zealand-based company would build and launch this bright object. Looking up at the Moon and the planets in the night sky invokes similar feelings of wonder - why do we need this artificial disco ball in orbit? https://t.co/FDxiR7FyQr — Meg Schwamb (@megschwamb) January 24, 2018 This is stupid, vandalizes the night sky and corrupts our view of the cosmos. https://t.co/KkATT35Kf0 — David Kipping (@david_kipping) January 25, 2018 An unscientific survey of the astronomy folks I follow suggest they all hate this object. https://t.co/zKP94AqISw — M.P. (@OmanReagan) January 24, 2018 "Looking up at the Moon and the planets in the night sky invokes similar feelings of wonder - why do we need this artificial disco ball in orbit?" planetary scientist Meg Schwamb said in a tweet. The Humanity Star isn't expected to stay in orbit for very long, and it won't be visible everywhere. The quickly spinning satellite will orbit the Earth every 90 minutes and its orbit should decay in about 9 months, forcing the Humanity Star to harmlessly burn up in the atmosphere. That said, it could create a bit of a headache for astronomers trying to peer deeply out into the cosmos during the time that it's in orbit. While this is a great idea, there is the problem that having another bright light in the sky, making light pollution that makes it more difficult to see that Universe.... :oS https://t.co/OD21gTbnjb — DJ Dr JJ Eldridge (@astro_jje) January 24, 2018 There are already hundreds of satellites you can see with your naked eye. Launching a disco ball as a PR stunt just increases the odds of the Kessler Syndrome making low earth orbit unusable. — Andy Howell (@d_a_howell) January 24, 2018 I agree, it presumably also adds one more piece of optical noise to the sky (how to ruin nice telescope integration time...) — Caleb Scharf (@caleb_scharf) January 24, 2018 Wow. Intentionally bright long-term space graffiti. Thanks a lot, @RocketLab. https://t.co/jvYBvQGyW3 — Mike Brown (@plutokiller) January 24, 2018 Agree, this is an awful idea. Besides: ISS is naked eye when visible. It's been done. Judging by the past couple decades: putting bright shiny thing in orbit =/= awe and world peace. — Eric Mamajek (@EricMamajek) January 25, 2018 David Kipping, an astronomer who hunts for planets outside of our solar system, made the point that the satellite could create some serious problems if he's trying to catch sight of one of those elusive planets as the Humanity Star flies through his field of view. it's supposed to be the brightest thing in the sky, i'd be pretty annoyed if this thing passed through my field whilst observing a transit... — David Kipping (@david_kipping) January 25, 2018 The intention behind the Humanity Star, however, is certainly something most astronomers can likely understand. "I know many astronomers are upset at this unnecessary object that will cause light pollution, although again we don't know orbit or brightness yet so we don't know how bad it will be," astrophysicist JJ Eldridge said via Twitter message. "But I can also kinda see that maybe we do need something like this with so much negativity in the world at the moment." Rocket Lab, for its part, has been replying to some negative tweets and attempting to clarify just how much of a distraction the Humanity Star will be for those studying the universe. The Humanity Star will blink across the sky for just a seconds, and it won't be visible in your region for the full 9 months in orbit. Our hope is that it draws people's attention to the stars, then leaves them looking to the universe long after The Humanity Star has passed. — Rocket Lab (@RocketLab) January 24, 2018 "The Humanity Star will briefly flash across the sky for a few seconds, reflecting sunlight back to the Earth's surface, creating a fleeting glint of light," Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck said in a statement via email. "It is designed to be a brief moment of just a few seconds." The Humanity Star was launched to space during a test flight of Rocket Lab's Electron rocket over the weekend. Update: This story was updated to include a statement from Rocket Lab. WATCH: Neil deGrasse Tyson explains if we can dump our trash on the moon |

Trump says he is willing to testify under oath in U.S.-Russia probe Posted: 24 Jan 2018 03:52 PM PST By Roberta Rampton and Warren Strobel WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would be willing to be interviewed under oath by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. "I would do it under oath." Although Trump has pledged cooperation with Mueller's probe before, Trump made his assertion as the White House and allies in Congress have stepped up attacks on the investigation's credibility and Trump himself has hedged on whether he would answer questions. |
