| Philippine senators ask Duterte to disclose China energy plan Posted: 20 Nov 2018 01:22 AM PST  Philippine opposition senators have demanded President Rodrigo Duterte reveal details of joint energy exploration plans with China, warning such a deal risked affirming Chinese territorial claims that are not recognized under international law. Early this year, the two countries set up a joint panel to work out how to explore offshore oil and gas in areas that both claim, without addressing the explosive issue of who has the sovereign rights to them. "Signing the Chinese deal will make the Philippines recognize an unlawful 'co-ownership' with China," the minority senators said in a resolution on the eve of Tuesday's visit to Manila by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

While raking through debris from the devastating Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, CA, firefighter Ryan Coleman came across a fluffy gray cat.

SEE ALSO: Some good news: Doughnut the 28-pound cat has a new home Already comfortable with her new companion, the cat rode around on his shoulders and affectionately rubbed her face on his stubble. In a video posted to Facebook last week, the absolute floof wrapped herself around Coleman's neck while he surveyed the remnants of Paradise. The Camp Fire has been burning through Butte County in Northern California for nearly two weeks. It has claimed 77 victims since erupting on Nov 8, and destroyed more than 10,500 homes over 150,000 acres since. The state's forestry and fire protection agency estimates that the fire won't be fully contained until Nov 30. WATCH: Oprah's Favorite Things list will get you through the holiday shopping mania

| Washington Post Publisher Blasts Trump’s Response to Khashoggi Murder Posted: 20 Nov 2018 01:28 PM PST  The publisher of the Washington Post blasted President Trump's response to the Saudi-state-sponsored assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Tuesday. "President Trump's response to the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi is a betrayal of long-established American values of respect for human rights and the expectation of trust and honesty in our strategic relationships," publisher Fred Ryan said in a statement released Tuesday. Ryan's reaction came just hours after Trump released a statement indicating he would not pursue further punitive measures against Saudi Arabia beyond the sanctions imposed earlier this month against 17 individuals believed to have been involved in Khashoggi's assassination at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Cotton has maintained his opposition to the First Step Act — a sweeping package of criminal-justice reforms designed to reduce incarceration rates and recidivism — despite mounting bipartisan support. In defending his opposition on Twitter Monday, Cotton accused the bill's proponents of trying to push it through Congress without allowing time for an adequate review of its contents.

Since 1970, the fourth day of every November has been commemorated with a march and rally by Native Americans in Plymouth, Massachusetts, who do not celebrate the "first" Thanksgiving feast between the Pilgrims and the Indians, but instead remember the Native Americans who have lost their lives and culture since colonisation.

| Officer, please let this patient and rather important cat into 10 Downing Street Posted: 20 Nov 2018 05:15 PM PST  Reporting from the steps of 10 Downing Street, one expects to be upstaged by the sudden appearance of the UK's Prime Minister Theresa May. But one news reporter found his broadcast instead overshadowed by a very patient cat waiting to be let inside the London premises by a police officer. SEE ALSO: A firefighter rescued a cat from the Paradise fire and she won't leave him alone The moment, which the BBC called "the most British thing you'll see today," was caught on Tuesday during a news report from Sky News' political correspondent Tom Rayner, discussing Brexit and May's future outside her famous residence. On such a characteristically rainy London day, this patient feline had every right to be let in. But folks, this is not just any cat. It's Larry, the 12-year-old tabby and official chief mouser to the Cabinet Office, who has been in residence at 10 Downing Street since February 2011. Larry, chief mouser to the Cabinet Office, and patient waiter outside doors.Image: UK GOvernment/wikicommonsLarry gained notoriety for being a general badass when reports of a beef with the Foreign Office's chief mouser, Palmerston, emerged in 2016. According to the UK government's website, Larry's official duties include "greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defences, and testing antique furniture for napping quality. His day-to-day responsibilities also include contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house." So, let this rather important cat in, officer.

I'm just glad you're being treated with the respect you deserve — Tom Rayner (@RaynerSkyNews) November 20, 2018 The moment was not lost on Twitter, which saw countless posts from people unpacking the complexities of Larry's conundrum. The cat's looking at the camera like 'can you do something about this, mate?' https://t.co/jaG20w6KW7 — Shannon Power (@shannonjpower) November 20, 2018 Everybody keeps finding this cute.

US authorities went so far as to briefly close the San Ysidro Port of Entry altogether -- it is one of the busiest land border crossings in the world -- as the new barriers were set up, triggering total gridlock for vehicles and pedestrians going from Tijuana across into San Diego.

| U.S. spy chiefs should publicly report on Khashoggi death: Senator Posted: 19 Nov 2018 02:07 PM PST  The reported finding was the most definitive link made yet to the de facto Saudi ruler's direct involvement and contradicts Saudi government assertions that he was not. Senate intelligence committee member Ron Wyden, in a statement to Reuters, called on U.S. spy chiefs to "come out and provide the American people and the Congress with a public assessment of who ordered the killing." Khashoggi, a U.S.-based Washington Post columnist who was a critic of the Saudi government, was murdered on Oct. 2 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul where he went to collect documents needed for a planned marriage. After offering contradictory explanations for Khashoggi's disappearance, Riyadh said last week that Khashoggi was killed and his body dismembered when "negotiations" to convince him to return to Saudi Arabia failed.
