UN: 'Substantive' Syria peace talks to begin within days Posted: 08 Mar 2016 10:24 AM PST GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. envoy for Syria will begin holding "substantive" peace talks with both Syrian government officials and opposition representatives no later than next Monday even as preparations toward the discussions get underway this week in Geneva, a spokeswoman for the envoy said Tuesday.

Talk of 'beheading' strike option heightens Koreas tension Posted: 08 Mar 2016 11:07 AM PST TOKYO (AP) — Massive joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises are a spring ritual on the Korean Peninsula guaranteed to draw a lot of threat-laced venom from Pyongyang. This time, not only are the war games the biggest ever, but the troops now massed south of the Demilitarized Zone have reportedly incorporated a new hypothetical into their training: a "beheading mission" against Kim Jong Un himself.

MH370 disappearance still a mystery two years on Posted: 08 Mar 2016 06:12 AM PST Investigators probing what happened to flight MH370 said Tuesday the cause of the plane's disappearance remained a mystery as the second anniversary passed with devastated next-of-kin still grasping for answers. The Malaysia-led international team of aviation experts set up to investigate issued an annual progress report but the brief statement had no new insights on what caused the Malaysia Airlines jet to vanish. "To date, the MH370 wreckage has still not been found despite the continuing search in the south Indian Ocean," it said.

Israel's Netanyahu declines offer to meet with Obama: White House Posted: 07 Mar 2016 05:02 PM PST By Matt Spetalnick and Roberta Rampton WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declined an offer to meet U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House later this month and canceled his trip to Washington, the White House said on Monday. Netanyahu's decision to nix his U.S. visit marked the latest episode in a fraught relationship with Obama that has yet to recover from their deep differences over last year's U.S.-led international nuclear deal with Iran, Israel's arch foe. The White House said the Israeli government had requested a Netanyahu meeting with Obama on either March 18 or 19 and that two weeks ago he was offered a March 18 encounter.

Bloomberg opts out of U.S. presidential bid, calls for centrism Posted: 07 Mar 2016 04:13 PM PST By Andy Sullivan and Ginger Gibson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Monday he would not mount an independent bid for the U.S. presidency because he feared it would increase the chances that Republicans Donald Trump or Ted Cruz could end up in the White House. A billionaire media mogul who combined business-friendly fiscal policies with liberal views on gun control and other social issues, Bloomberg could have potentially appealed to centrist voters in a year when candidates from the far left and right of the political spectrum have gained traction. Bloomberg never received much interest from American voters.
