Trump tells advisers he wants U.S. out of Syria: senior officials

Image
By Steve Holland WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump has told advisers he wants an early exit of U.S. troops from Syria, two senior administration officials said on Friday, a stance that may put him at odds with U.S. military officials who see the fight against Islamic State as nowhere near complete. A National Security Council meeting is set for early next week to discuss the U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State in Syria, according to U.S. officials familiar with the plan. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2uxbvHP via Latest News

Starbucks coffee must carry cancer warning in California, judge rules

Image
Starbucks and other coffee vendors must carry cancer warnings in California, a Los Angeles judge has ruled.  The companies have less than a fortnight to challenge the decision and could face millions of pounds in fines if unsuccessful.  The decision relates to a chemical called acrylamide, a byproduct of roasting coffee beans that is present in high levels in brewed coffee. In California, companies are required by law to warn consumers if their products contain chemicals that could cause cancer.  A non-profit group claimed acrylamide was in that category and brought a lawsuit against some 90 coffee retailers including Starbucks.  Elihu Berle, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, ruled that the companies had failed to show there was no significant risk from a carcinogen produced in the roasting process.  Starbucks logo Credit: AP Photo/Lisa Poole The judge said: “Defendants failed to satisfy their burden of proving by a preponderance of evidence that consumption o...
