U.S. not discussing recognition of Israel's Golan hold: Bolton Posted: 22 Aug 2018 03:22 AM PDT Israel captured much of the Golan from Syria in a 1967 war and annexed it in a move not endorsed internationally. "I've heard the idea being suggested but there's no discussion of it, no decision within the U.S. government," Bolton told Reuters during a visit to Israel. "Obviously we understand the Israeli claim that it has annexed the Golan Heights - we understand their position - but there's no change in the U.S. position for now." Palestinians seek other territories that Israel occupied in 1967 - the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem - for a future state. |

AT&T Inc. (T) Stock Has a Debt Problem Posted: 23 Aug 2018 07:49 AM PDT Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya says AT&T stock, which currently trades at a forward earnings multiple of 9.1, is historically cheap and provides an excellent entry point for long-term value investors. Arya says AT&T could generate a surprise earnings beat in the third quarter thanks to an under-the-radar accounting change related to content amortization costs. |

US priest speaks up for Church's gay 'parish pariahs' Posted: 23 Aug 2018 06:04 AM PDT Gay people in the Catholic Church are sometimes "treated like dirt", according to a priest invited by the Vatican to address a conference on families in Dublin on Thursday ahead of a visit by Pope Francis. US Jesuit priest James Martin preaches openness towards gay Roman Catholics -- in the face of some traditionalists who have tried to shut him down. "It is a sign to all Catholics that the Vatican considers LGBT Catholics part of the Church," said the author of a bestselling book which reaches out to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Christians. |

Facebook stops misinformation campaigns tied to Iran, Russia Posted: 21 Aug 2018 06:45 PM PDT Facebook said Tuesday it stopped stealth misinformation campaigns from Iran and Russia, shutting down accounts as part of its battle against fake news ahead of elections in the United States and elsewhere. Facebook removed more than 650 pages, groups and accounts identified as "networks of accounts misleading people about what they were doing," according to chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. While the investigation was ongoing, and US law enforcement notified, content from some of the pages was traced back to Iran and from others linked to groups previously linked to Russian intelligence operations, the social network said. |

Alibaba revenue jumps 61% but one-time expense hits profit Posted: 22 Aug 2018 05:30 PM PDT Chinese retail giant Alibaba said on Thursday that its revenue jumped 61 percent in the latest quarter as its core e-commerce segment chugged along, but profit for the period was dragged down by a one-off expense. The Hangzhou-based company said net profit was down 41 percent year-on-year to 8.69 billion yuan ($1.26 billion) in the quarter ending June 30. Alibaba, which has made billionaire founder Jack Ma one of China's richest men and a global e-commerce icon, has wowed investors quarter after quarter with sterling revenue growth fuelled by the growing appetite of Chinese consumers for one-click online purchases. |
Australia PM Malcolm Turnbull clings to power amid leadership crisis Posted: 23 Aug 2018 09:37 AM PDT Malcolm Turnbull, Australia's prime minister, signalled he could resign on Friday following bitter infighting that has split the ruling Liberal party and left the nation facing yet another leadership change. As the party's brutal civil war continued and thirteen ministers resigned, Mr Turnbull, a former investment banker and self-made millionaire, said he would resign if a majority of Liberal MPs demanded another leadership vote. On Thursday, Mr Trunbull's opponents were one signature away from securing the vote, which they hoped would take place at midday local time on Friday (3am GMT). The new vote follows a challenge by Peter Dutton, a hardliner who lost in a 48-35 secret ballot of MPs earlier this week. Stubbornly refusing to resign despite a collapse of support, Mr Turnbull blamed a group of rebel right-wing MPs and some media commentators for encouraging this week's putsch. "Australians will be rightly appalled by what they're witnessing in their nation's Parliament today and in the course of this week," he said. "The reality is that a minority in the party room, supported by others outside the Parliament, have sought to bully, intimidate others into making this change of leadership that they're seeking. It's been described by many people… as a form of madness." Australia's Finance Minister Mathias Cormann (L), Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (C) and Treasurer Scott Morrison attend a press conference after the embattled leader narrowly survived a move to unseat him on Tuesday Credit: MARK GRAHAM/AFP Mr Dutton, a former policeman who has signalled a tougher approach on immigration and law and order, was expected to battle for the leadership against two more moderate candidates: foreign minister Julie Bishop and Scott Morrison, the treasurer, a position equivalent to Chancellor of the Exchequer. Opinion polls show Ms Bishop, who would be only the second female prime minister, is the most publicly popular of the three possible leadership contenders, followed by Mr Morrison. Public support for Mr Dutton as the party's leader was between 3 and 11 per cent. In extraordinary scenes in Canberra on Thursday, the ruling Liberal-National Coalition adjourned parliament's lower house to try to resolve its leadership chaos. Labor leader Bill Shorten told the chamber: "Australia no longer has a functioning government". "This is the ultimate admission of surrender, of a bankrupt government, of a failed government," he said. Mr Turnbull's downfall follows a long run of dismal opinion polls as well as enduring concerns among the party's right-wing MPs that he is too progressive. Since becoming leader, the former Rhodes Scholar has shed many of his progressive views on issues such as climate change, the republic and same-sex marriage but this has not allayed the suspicions of his opponents. Many have not forgiven him for toppling former leader Tony Abbott, a staunch conservative and monarchist, in 2015. Mr Abbott, also a former Rhodes Scholar, remains a backbencher and has repeatedly criticised Mr Turnbull's leadership. "The culture of leaking and de-stabilising started when I was prime minister," Mr Abbott told Radio 2GB. "Once a culture of plotting takes hold, people who are beneficiaries becomes victims." Profile | Malcolm Turnbull No Australian leader has served a full term since John Howard after the 2004 election. Since then, every prime minister – Labor's Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, and Mr Abbott, a Liberal – has been dumped by their party. Mr Turnbull's troubles this week followed his plan to introduce a national target to cut carbon emissions. The policy angered conservatives, who plotted an insurrection even after Mr Turnbull dumped the plan. Mr Turnbull on Thursday demanded that any MPs who want a ballot must publicly sign a petition, effectively seeking to shame those seeking to topple another prime minister. "These are momentous times and it's important that people are accountable for what they're doing," he said. Mr Turnbull said he will not stay on as an MP following a ballot, a move that could deprive the Coalition of its one-seat parliamentary majority. This may result in an early general election. Mr Turnbull also raised questions over whether Mr Dutton is eligible to be an MP because his family's childcare business has received government funding. Australia's Solicitor-General was asked to rule by Friday on whether Mr Dutton is barred by the constitution. If he is, the right-wing MPs who fomented this rebellion will be without a leader. |

Spanish police smash Europe's 'biggest' illegal turtle farm Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:11 PM PDT Spanish police said Wednesday they had dismantled Europe's biggest illegal turtle and tortoise farm, seizing over 1,100 of the animals, including several highly endangered species. Officers arrested two German men suspected of operating the farm on the holiday island of Mallorca, as well as a Spanish owner of an exotic pet store in Barcelona who sold the animals raised on the farm, police said in a statement. A "land turtle" is more commonly called a tortoise in English. |

Taiwan's last Africa ally tells China 'no desire' to switch ties Posted: 22 Aug 2018 02:30 AM PDT Taiwan, which China claims as a wayward province with no right to state-to-state relations, now has formal ties with only 17 countries, almost all small, less developed nations in Central America and the Pacific, like Belize and Nauru. It lost its latest ally, El Salvador, on Tuesday, the third country to fall to China this year. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen has vowed to fight China's "increasingly out of control" behavior after the move. |

'Green hajj' slowly takes root in Mecca Posted: 23 Aug 2018 03:35 AM PDT Thousands of cleaners are busy separating plastic from other rubbish as more than two million Muslims wrap up a pilgrimage to Mecca that presents a huge environmental challenge for Saudi Arabia. The Mamuniya camp in Mina near the holy city is dotted with colour-coded barrels -- black for organic waste and blue for cans and plastics for recycling. It's all part of an initiative to reduce the environmental footprint of the hajj, one of the world's largest annual gatherings. |

Breastfeeding may help lower a woman's risk of stroke later in life Posted: 23 Aug 2018 07:33 AM PDT New US research has added to the growing body of evidence that suggests breastfeeding can be beneficial for mothers as well as babies, finding that women who breastfeed may have a lower risk of stroke post-menopause. Carried out by researchers at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, the study is one of the first to look at a possible link between breastfeeding and a mother's risk of stroke, which is the fourth leading cause of death among women aged 65 and older and the third leading cause of death among Hispanic and black women in the same age group. After taking into account non-modifiable stroke risk factors such as age and family history, the researchers found that stroke risk among women who breastfed their babies was on average 23 percent lower in all women compared to those who never breastfed. |
