Russia hits out at ‘bellicose’ US after Trump nuclear review calls for more aggressive approach against Moscow

Image
Russia has hit back at the “bellicose” nature of the Trump administration’s proposed new nuclear policy – which advocates a more aggressive approach towards Moscow. The US Department of Defence’s latest Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) argues that Washington must create a more effective nuclear deterrent, with Russia and other nations holding the “misconception” that the US would not use its large-scale strategic nuclear weapons in response to nuclear aggression from other countries. “Our strategy will ensure Russia understands that any use of nuclear weapons, however limited, is unacceptable,” the NPR said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2GLl5IX via Latest News

Four migrants critical after 'unprecedented' shooting in Calais as mayor lashes out at 'manipulative' charities

Image
Four migrants are in a critical condition after being shot in Calais in what the French government dubbed “unprecedented” scenes of violence among those seeking to reach Britain. The brutal attack came days after Theresa May pledged an extra £44.5 million to beef up border security in Calais and President Emmanuel Macron promised there would be no return to the “jungle” – the notorious migrant camp razed in 2016. Calais mayor Natacha Bouchart slammed charities and activists who “manipulate” migrants. “They are people who live off this. Culturally, they are against the state, institutions. They help neither the migrants nor the population,” she said. Her comments came as the government promised to take over control of food distribution from local aid groups “within two weeks” and conduct the handouts outside the town. The four men, all Eritreans, were shot in the neck, chest, abdomen and spine at a food distribution point. A fifth gunshot victim was not facing life-th...

Pentagon pushes for new, low-yield nuclear weapons

Image
The US military wants to revamp its nuclear arsenal and develop new low-yield atomic weapons, largely in response to Russian actions in recent years, the Pentagon said in a policy statement released Friday. The so-called Nuclear Posture Review outlines the Pentagon's nuclear ambitions under President Donald Trump and is the first time since 2010 that the military has spelled out how it foresees nuclear threats in the coming decades. "The strategy develops capabilities aimed at making use of nuclear weapons less likely," Trump said in a statement. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2s5OESs via Latest News

Finsbury Park attacker jailed for life: Darren Osborne to serve at least 43 years after ploughing van into Muslims

Image
An unemployed "loner" who ploughed a van into a group of Muslims after becoming radicalised by far-right material within weeks has been jailed for life and told to serve at least 43 years. Darren Osborne deliberately mowed down worshippers outside two mosques in Finsbury Park, north London, shortly after 12.15am on June 19 last year, killing 51-year-old Makram Ali and injuring 12 others. A jury of eight women and four men took one hour to convict the father of four, who was seen smiling and blowing a kiss to angry bystanders in the moments after the terror attack, of murder and attempted murder. Osborne stood with his hands crossed in front of him as sentence was passed by Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb. She told him: "This was a terrorist attack. You intended to kill. Your mindset became one of malevolent hatred. "In short you allowed your mind to be poisoned by those who claimed to be leaders." Osborne is likely to die in jail after being jailed for a minimum of 43...

'Oil-like' blobs hit Japan beaches after tanker sinks

Image
Tokyo (AFP) - "Oil-like" blobs are washing up on the beaches of several southern Japanese islands, officials said Friday, raising fears they could be from a tanker that sank in the area nearly three weeks ago. The Iranian tanker Sanchi -- carrying 111,000 tonnes of light crude oil -- went under in a ball of flames on January 14 in Japan's economic waters in the East China Sea, sparking concerns it could lead to a massive environmental catastrophe. Japan's government is analysing the origin of the "oil-like" substance, and has dispatched the coast guard to help with clean-up, top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2Ez6gbX via Latest News
