A U.S. guided missile destroyer's deadly collision with an oil tanker near Singapore in 2017 was caused by "a sudden turn" made by the warship that put it in the path of the commercial vessel, said a report by the Singapore government on Thursday. The collision on Aug. 21, which killed 10 sailors and was one of a handful of incidents in the Asia Pacific region involving U.S. Navy warships, raised questions about Navy training and led to the removal of a number of officers. "The collision between the USS John S McCain (JSM) and Alnic MC (AM) as they were transiting through the Singapore Strait happened because of a sudden turn to Port by JSM, which caused it to head into the path of AM," the report said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2G4jvC8 via Latest News

Jay Goldberg, who represented the president in both of his divorces, told show hosts that Clifford may have a point that her nondisclosure agreement with Trump is invalid if he didn’t sign it.

By Minh Nguyen DANANG, Vietnam (Reuters) - Sailors from a U.S. aircraft carrier on Wednesday visited a Vietnamese shelter for people suffering from the effects of Agent Orange, a chemical used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to destroy foliage. Of the 4.8 million people who were exposed to Agent Orange, some three million are still suffering from its effects, including children born with severe disabilities or other health issues years after their parents were exposed, according to the Hanoi-based Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange. "I think it's very powerful to see the circumstances in which we're here today compared to, say, 40 years ago," said Gordon Watkins, a sailor from the visiting USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier who was at the shelter in Danang. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FiDvUw via Latest News

Police Sergeant Nick Bailey has been named as the officer who was injured with a nerve agent  as he attended the scene where Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned. He was hospitalised after attending to the pair and is now thought to be awake and engaging with medical staff, although he remains in a serious condition. Sgt Bailey was highly commended in 2016 for his work in putting a serial rapist behind bars.

By Steven Scheer TEL AVIV (Reuters) - El Al Israel Airlines has appealed to the United Nations over a bid to reroute its services between Tel Aviv and India through Saudi Arabian airspace. Air India said on Wednesday it planned to begin thrice-weekly non-stop flights from Delhi to Tel Aviv this month via Saudi airspace. The Israeli flag carrier's CEO Gonen Usishkin said in a letter to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a U.N. body, it would be discriminatory for the Saudis to allow Air India to enter its airspace and not El Al. Saudi Arabia does not recognize Israel and lifting the airspace ban for El Al would offer further evidence of what appears to be thawing of ties. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2Dc7304 via Latest News

This year's stock market is behaving differently from 2017, and investors may want to change some of their strategies. One idea to consider is to use covered calls in the options market against individual stocks, or investors can try mutual or exchange-traded funds that make covered calls part of the portfolio strategy. In the stock options market, a call is the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at a specific price (known as the strike price) during a specified time frame. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FntLsh via Latest News
