Kremlin says it is Roman Abramovich's right to take Israeli citizenshipThe Kremlin said on Tuesday that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich had every right to take Israeli citizenship, saying his choice to acquire another passport was no big deal. Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea soccer club who has found himself without a visa to Britain, took Israeli citizenship on Monday and will move to Tel Aviv where he has bought a property, the Israeli news website Ynet said. Abramovich, 51 has traditionally enjoyed good relations with the Kremlin and served as a regional governor in a remote Russian region from 2000-2008.


US search firm says to end MH370 hunt in 'coming days'

US search firm says to end MH370 hunt in 'coming days'A private search for Flight MH370 will end in the coming days, an exploration firm said Tuesday, some four years after the plane disappeared in one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries. No sign of it was found in a 120,000-square kilometre (46,000-square mile) Indian Ocean search zone and the Australian-led hunt, the largest in aviation history, was suspended in January last year. After pressure from families, the Malaysian government struck a deal with US exploration firm Ocean Infinity to restart the search in January on condition it would only be paid if the Boeing 777 or its black boxes were found.

Three Israeli soldiers wounded as dozens of mortars fired from Gaza in heaviest barrage since 2014 war

Posted: 29 May 2018 10:45 AM PDT

Three Israeli soldiers wounded as dozens of mortars fired from Gaza in heaviest barrage since 2014 warIsrael warned it was closer to war in Gaza than it had been in years after Palestinian militants fired dozens of mortars at Israeli towns and Israel's military responded with heavy airstrikes across Gaza.  In the most serious exchange of fire between the two sides since the end of the 2014 conflict, Israel's military said waves of missiles were fired out of Gaza into southern Israel. At least three soldiers were wounded. One shell fell into the yard of a kindergarten, spraying the front of the school with shrapnel.  Israel accused the militant group Islamic Jihad of doing most of the shelling but said Hamas, the Islamist faction which controls Gaza, also participated in the attack. Israeli jets struck more than 30 Hamas and Islamic Jihad bases across Gaza in response, the military said. No injuries were reported in Gaza from the strikes.    Many of the projectiles fired from Gaza were shot down by Israel's Iron Dome missile system Credit: MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP/Getty Images The exchange of fire comes after weeks of heightened tensions on the Gaza border, where Israeli forces have killed more than 100 Palestinians during protests. Most the dead were unarmed but some were engaged in bomb and gun attacks on Israeli troops.  Although neither Israel nor the Palestinian factions are believed to be looking for a full blown war, the shooting raised concerns about an escalation of violence that could send both sides stumbling into all out conflict.  Israel Katz, the Israeli intelligence minister, said the country was closer to war with Hamas than it had been at any point since 2014. "We are the closest to the threshold of war since Operation Protective Edge," he said. "We don't want it, and the other side doesn't either, but we have our red lines." The shelling from Gaza into Israel was widely condemned internationally and Britain said the "indiscriminate attacks" were "completely unacceptable under any circumstances." The IDF will respond with great force to these attacks. Israel will exact a heavy price from anyone who tries to attack it, and we view Hamas as responsible for preventing such attacks against us.— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) May 29, 2018 The mortar shells and rockets fell in and around Israeli communities near the Gaza border, triggering air raid sirens and sending thousands of Israelis running for bomb shelters. The Israeli military said many of the projectiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system.  Video from the Israeli kindergarten showed the front of the building had been pockmarked by shrapnel from a mortar. The shell struck at around 7am, before any children had arrived at the school. "Seven o'clock is the busiest time of day. This could have ended differently," said Merav Cohen, an Israeli mother who lives near the kindergarten. The armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad jointly claimed responsibility for the shelling. "We will not let the enemy impose a new equation involving killing our people for free. The equation we will keep says: shelling for shelling and blood for blood."  Three Islamic Jihad fighters were killed by Israeli forces on Saturday Credit: Abed Rahim Khatib/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images Israeli forces killed three Islamic Jihad fighters on Sunday after they tried to plant an explosive near the Gaza border fence, according to Israel's military. The Islamist group had vowed revenge for the killings.  Israel has a policy of holding Hamas responsible for any attacks coming out of Gaza, regardless of which group actually did the shooting. "We know that Hamas controls the Gaza strip and is able to control what happens," said Lt Col Jonathan Conricus, an Israeli spokesman.  He said Israel was "not looking to escalate the situation" and that the "ball is in Hamas' hands" as to whether the fighting would escalate.   The Israeli military said the 107mm mortars fired by Islamic Jihad were supplied by Iran, which has long funded the group as a proxy force against Israel. "There's no doubt that the Iranians are involved, the question is how much and at what volume," Lt Col Conricus said.  #Israeli air strikes in central and south #Gaza targeting military positions that belong to islamic Jihad in Gaza , no causalities confirmed by #Palestinian health ministry yet. Photos by journalist Moneeb Saada pic.twitter.com/FOwjp4wUrr— Nasser Atta (@nasseratta5) May 29, 2018 Israeli warplanes struck more 30 targets across Gaza including a U-shaped tunnel, which went from southern Gaza into Egypt and then bent back into Israel, the military said. Ten such tunnels have been destroyed in the last six months, according to Israel. Hamas and other factions have refrained from firing rockets into Israel since February but there has been a spike in shooting in recent days. On Monday night, heavy machine gun fire from Gaza hit a house in the Israeli town of Sderot. Alistair Burt, a Foreign Office minister, was in Gaza on Tuesday and condemned the Palestinian shelling. "Indiscriminate attacks against civilians, especially those that risk killing or injuring children, are completely unacceptable under any circumstances," he said.  I condemn the rocket fire from #Gaza into Israel today. Indiscriminate attacks against civilians, especially those that risk killing or injuring children, are completely unacceptable under any circumstances.— Alistair Burt (@AlistairBurtUK) May 29, 2018 He also announced a UK aid package £1.5 million to help hospitals in Gaza treat the wounded 13,000 people wounded during the last two months of protests on the border with Israel.  Separately, Palestinian activists attempted to sail a flotilla out of Gaza in defiance of Israel's ten-year blockade of the strip. The Israeli navy intercepted the flotilla and detained 17 Palestinians onboard.

Skeleton of Roman beheaded by giant flying rock slab found at Pompeii

Posted: 29 May 2018 09:13 AM PDT

Skeleton of Roman beheaded by giant flying rock slab found at PompeiiThe skeleton of a Roman man who was decapitated by a giant slab of rock has been discovered by archeologists in Pompeii. They believe the man, aged in his thirties, was attempting to flee the eruption of Mt Vesuvius when the 300kg rock slammed into him, beheading him and killing him instantly. He had struggled to escape the doomed city because he had an infection in his leg. Archeologists found the rock sticking out of the ground at an angle, with the remains of the man protruding and intact from the chest down. The rock, which they think may have been part of a stone doorway, was hurled into the air by the force of the eruption, which devastated Pompeii in AD79. Archeologists say the man was fleeing the eruption but was impeded by a leg bone infection Credit: Pompeii archeological site The skeleton was uncovered in an area of new excavations, close to a newly-discovered alleyway of houses with balconies. Massimo Osanna, the director general of the archaeological site, called the discovery "dramatic and exceptional". "A formidable stone block (perhaps a door jamb), violently thrown by the volcanic cloud, collided with his upper body, crushing the highest part of the thorax and yet-to-be-identified head, which probably lies under the stone block," archeologists said in a statement. The experts found lesions on his tibia which indicate a serious bone infection. That "could have caused significant walking difficulties, enough to impede the man's escape at the first dramatic signs which preceded the eruption," they said. Earlier this month, archeologists made another unusual discovery – the carbonised remains of a horse which died during the eruption of Vesuvius. The remains of a Roman horse were found earlier this month Credit: Pompeii archeological site The horse was found in the remains of a large Roman villa, which tomb raiders had been excavating illegally in search of artefacts and valuables. By pumping plaster into the space where the horse was found, experts produced an accurate cast of the animal. It was the first time that a cast was made of a horse at Pompeii – the technique has previously been used for the human victims of the cataclysmic eruption. Experts believe the horse was used in military parades and ceremonies. It was found in the remains of a stable attached to the villa.


Can I roast a marshmallow over lava?

Posted: 29 May 2018 10:50 AM PDT

Can I roast a marshmallow over lava?At more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the lava oozing out of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano will easily toast a marshmallow, but that doesn't mean you should go out and start making volcanic s'mores. On Monday, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) explained on Twitter that roasting marshmallows over scorching, molten rock is not a great idea for a multitude of reasons. SEE ALSO: Hawaii's Kilauea volcano could keep erupting for months. Here's why. "Is it safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents?," Twitter user Jay Furr asked the USGS Volcanoes account on Monday. "Erm...we're going to have to say no, that's not safe. (Please don't try!)," the USGS said in response. "If the vent is emitting a lot of SO2 [sulfur dioxide] or H2S [hydrogen sulfide], they would taste BAD. And if you add sulfuric acid (in vog [volcanic smog], for example) to sugar, you get a pretty spectacular reaction." Erm...we're going to have to say no, that's not safe. (Please don't try!) If the vent is emitting a lot of SO2 or H2S, they would taste BAD. And if you add sulfuric acid (in vog, for example) to sugar, you get a pretty spectacular reaction. — USGS Volcanoes�� (@USGSVolcanoes) May 29, 2018 Just stepping on or near fresh lava flows is inherently dangerous for a variety of reasons, not least because heated, molten rock might still be present under a thin crust of deceptively-cooled and blackened rock.  Kilauea is one of the few places on Earth where people can often view lava flows from a safe distance in marked locations.  But entering active lava flow areas, or places where lava has recently flowed, is kind of stupid, at best. As national park service ranger Shyla explains, the hazards include emissions of toxic gases, unexpected explosions, flying debris (which include deadly lava bombs), and collapses of land — notably near the ocean. But even if someone were to venture near freshly laid lava and toasted a marshmallow, the sticky treat would likely be disgusting. Lava flowing down Leilani Avenue on the Big Island on May 27.Image: usgsAs the USGS noted in their tweeted reply, volcanic vents don't just spew lava, they release gases like sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which make for a nasty coating.  Both gases are colorless, but hydrogen sulfide carries an "offensive odor," says the USGS, similar to the smell of a sewer, or farts. If the rotten egg-like smell is present, it's a good idea to leave the area.  "Exposure to 500 ppm (parts per million) can cause a human to fall unconscious in 5 minutes and die in an hour or less," said the USGS.  And if the nearby vent is emitting sulfur dioxide, it won't be a particularly pleasant experience if you're around, as the gas irritates eyes and respiratory systems. Often, sulfur dioxide emitted from Kilauea creates volcanic smog, or "vog," so the USGS half-joked that a chemical reaction might occur between the sulfur-rich vog and the sugar-rich marshmallows. A fun classroom experiment involves adding sulfuric acid to sugar, which (after stirring) creates a mass of hot, black foam. But, keep those experiments to the classroom, not an active lava field.

U.S. official says agency did not lose immigrant children

Posted: 28 May 2018 07:40 PM PDT

U.S. official says agency did not lose immigrant childrenOver 1,500 immigrant children who have entered the United States unaccompanied are not "lost," as Senate testimony by an administration official in April suggested, a U.S. Health and Human Services official said on Monday, as outrage over their treatment triggered a social media storm. Deputy HHS Secretary Eric Hargan issued a statement and fact sheet on Monday night saying the department's Office of Refugee Resettlement attempted to follow up on the 2016 release of unaccompanied children by contacting their families, a step he said was not required of the department. Following recent news reports of children lost in the system after crossing the border illegally, outrage erupted on social media in recent days after reports emerged that HHS over the past three months of 2017 lost track of 1,475 children who crossed into the United States from Mexico by themselves and were placed with sponsors.

British campaigner Andy Tsege released from prison after four years on death row in Ethiopia

Posted: 29 May 2018 12:36 PM PDT

British campaigner Andy Tsege released from prison after four years on death row in EthiopiaA Briton who spent four years on death row in Ethiopia walked out of prison on Tuesday, freed by the regime that once labelled him a "terrorist". Andargachew Tsege, who fled to Britain in 1974, was greeted by hundreds of supporters who gathered outside his family's home in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, to celebrate the release of one of the government's most outspoken critics. Such scenes in one of Africa's most repressive regimes would have been unthinkable just a few months ago. Mr Andargachew, perhaps unable to grasp the scale of Ethiopia's rapid political thaw, seemed stunned by the reception. "I did not expect this much turn out," he said, suggesting he did not deserve  it since "four years in prison is not that much of a sacrifice." Other dissidents had indeed been incarcerated for longer, though few were captured in such dramatic circumstances. While waiting to catch a connecting flight to Eritrea in 2014, Mr Andargachew was seized by armed men in a transit lounge at an airport in Yemen. He was immediately bundled onto a flight to Addis Ababa, with Ethiopia claiming it had merely extradited one of their most wanted men. Britain protested, but Ethiopia stood firm: as one of the leaders of Ginbot 7, a group of Ethiopian exiles who had based themselves in neighbouring Eritrea, Mr Andargachew was a "traitor" and "coup plotter". In the past year, however, Ethiopia's ruling coalition has been forced to yield to domestic pressure after an ethnic and political crisis threatened to tear apart the old political order. In the past three months, the Ethiopian government has pardoned more than 10,000 political prisoners. Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, hailed Mr Andargachew's release and the broader political significance it portended. "Recent moves by the Ethiopian Government send a positive signal that they remain serious about following through with promised reforms to increase political space," Mr Johnson said. The Foreign Secretary also insisted that Mr Andargachew's case had been "a priority" for his department, a claim that will be questioned by those who campaigned for the dissident's release, particularly his UK-based partner, Yemisrach Hailemariam. Mr Johnson was criticised for not raising Mr Andargachew's plight publicly — although he said he did in private — when he visited Addis Ababa last year, a trip in which the Foreign Secretary largely skirted over Ethiopia's human rights record. Mrs Yemisrach extended thanks to Jeremy Corbyn, who is Mr Andargachew's MP, and to Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, for their efforts to win his freedom. But she pointedly excluded Mr Johnson.

Hungary aims to criminalize aiding illegal migration in 'Stop Soros' bill

Hungary aims to criminalize aiding illegal migration in 'Stop Soros' billBy Krisztina Than BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Individuals or groups who help migrants not entitled to protection to submit requests for asylum or who help illegal migrants gain status to stay in Hungary will be liable to jail under legislation submitted to parliament on Tuesday. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government has also proposed amending the constitution to state that an "alien population" cannot be settled in Hungary, rejecting European Union quotas to distribute migrants around the bloc. In power since 2010, the right-wing nationalist Orban has tightened state control over the media and campaigned on a platform of fierce hostility to immigration - policies that have put him in conflict with the European Union, which funds development policies to the tune of billions of euros a year.
