Iran's Khamenei warns U.S. against 'wrong move' on nuclear deal

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 12:42 PM PDT

Iran's Khamenei warns U.S. against 'wrong move' on nuclear dealIran will not be bullied by the United States and will react strongly to any "wrong move" by Washington on Tehran's nuclear deal, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Iran was violating "the spirit" of the 2015 deal under which it got sanctions relief in return for curbing its nuclear program. State television quoted Khamenei as saying Iran was standing firm "and any wrong move by the domineering regime regarding the (nuclear accord) will face the reaction of the Islamic Republic." Washington extended some sanctions relief for Iran on Thursday under the nuclear deal with world powers, but said it had yet to decide whether to maintain the agreement.

British police arrest London bomb suspect at Dover border pointBy Kate Holton LONDON (Reuters) - Police arrested an 18-year-old man in the departure lounge of the port of Dover on Saturday in what they said was a "very significant" step in the hunt for whoever planted a bomb on a London commuter train that injured 30 people a day earlier. Prime Minister Theresa May put Britain on the highest security level of "critical" late on Friday, meaning another attack may be imminent, and deployed soldiers and armed police to strategic locations such as nuclear power plants. On Saturday morning officers in Dover, a ferry port on the southeast coast from which passenger ships sail to France, arrested a man and then partially evacuated the area, recovering a number of items, the police said without elaborating.

Armed and masked men declare war on France’s bears

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 07:21 AM PDT

Armed and masked men declare war on France's bearsA group of armed and masked men have issued a video in which they vow to start hunting bears in France's Pyrenees mountains following attacks on sheep. Brown bears, a protected species, were blamed for the deaths of about 450 sheep who tumbled over cliffs while being chased by bears in two separate incidents this summer. The threat to hunt them marks an escalation of a bitter dispute between farmers and conservationists over the predators. They were re-introduced into south-western France from Slovenia in the 1990s after hunters had all but wiped out native Pyrenean bears. The video, filmed outdoors at night and sent to news organisations, shows about 30 men holding shotguns or hunting rifles, their faces hidden by balaclavas.  Brown bears are a protected species Credit: REUTERS/Gleb Garanich A deliberately distorted voiceover says: "By introducing Slovenian bears and establishing a nursery allowing them to multiply, the French state is implementing land management policies that are gradually restricting access by men and women of the mountains and their freedom to work." The voiceover adds: "The state has remained deaf to the requests of our elected representatives, our citizens' and trade organisations. We have decided to reopen bear hunting in Ariège [the local area] and to conduct active resistance against agents of the state." The video, which concludes with shots fired in the air, comes three weeks after farmers were accused of firing about 50 rounds to intimidate wildlife officials visiting the area to assess how many sheep the bears had killed.  The government pays compensation for livestock killed, but many farmers say they can no longer co-exist with a bear population estimated at 39. A local group is campaigning for many of the beasts to be returned to Slovenia, with others restricted to a reserve so that livestock could graze in a "no-bear zone" without fear of attack.   The authorities are taking the video seriously and prosecutors have opened an investigation. The local Préfecture described the threat to resume bear hunting as a "pathetic drift into violence and illegality." It added in a statement: "Play-acting as a terrorist organisation is not a joke. It harms all those who defend the development of rural and mountain territories."

United Nations has 'exhausted' options on North Korea, says top US diplomat

United Nations has 'exhausted' options on North Korea, says top US diplomatThe UN has run out of options for confronting an increasingly belligerent North Korea, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has said, presenting a unified front with Trump administration officials who continue to float a military option ahead of this week's summit in New York. "We have pretty much exhausted all the things that we can do at the Security Council at this point," Haley told CNN, adding that she had "no problem kicking to" Jim Mattis, the US defence secretary. By claiming that the UN had failed to alter North Korea's militaristic course, Ms Haley hinted at the limits of diplomacy as the world prepares to gather next week for the first UN General Assembly of Donald Trump's presidency.


The absolute worst pumpkin-related food crimes

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 05:00 AM PDT

The absolute worst pumpkin-related food crimesSome pumpkin foods are delicious: fresh pumpkin cupcakes, for example, frosted with cream cheese icing, or crumbly, barely-sweet pumpkin scones. Pumpkin pie! Others are sick crimes. SEE ALSO: People are mad at Starbucks for its confusing rollout of the Pumpkin Spice Latte While the primary focus of pumpkin-season debate remains the Pumpkin Spice Latte (which is more delicious over ice, by the way), I'd like to posit that there are far more egregious pumpkin products out there. Of course, we can technically blame the PSL for the existence of all these bad, bad foods. So ... maybe the anger is justified? 1. Pumpkin cider I purchased a six-pack of pumpkin cider in the fall of 2013, eager to sip something cold (it was still hot outside) that still tasted like autumn incarnate. Instead, the pumpkin cider tasted exactly like vomit — not just vomit, the noun, but the actual act of vomiting. Image: Totalwine.com2. Pumpkin spice gum This one is doubly offensive: not only must you taste the cloying flavor of the gum, but so must everyone around you when it is on your breath for the rest of the day. Friends, not chewing this gum is a public service. Image: Amazon3. Pumpkin Spice Oreos One Mashable staffer and Pumpkin Spice Oreo survivor compared the specialty cookies to "a Yankee Candle melting in your mouth." Seems bad! Image: Amazon4. Pumpkin pie spice butter A sponsored post about Land O Lakes Pumpkin Pie Spice Butter Spread recommends that you slather it not only on toast and English muffins, but on roasted carrots and pork chops. And a lot of people seem to like the stuff, so it's probably fine, right?  Wrong. It is, again, way too sweet. Also, why would you put pumpkin spice butter on toast when cookie butter exists? Image: Land O Lakes5. Pumpkin spice oatmeal Pumpkin spice oatmeal is a bummer because it could have been subtle and nice, even wholesome. Instead, it is sickeningly sweet. A post shared by @doreenas_yums on Jul 22, 2017 at 5:22pm PDT 6. Pumpkin Spice Latte Peeps One of the best parts of fall is that Peeps, which are endorsed by Satan, aren't around to assail us. Unfortunately, Peeps has ruined this with Pumpkin Spice Peeps.  To add insult to injury, they are dipped in white fudge. Image: Peeps & Company7. Pumpkin spice candy corn Candy corn is already bad, but pumpkin spice candy corn is truly ghastly. It's an important reminder that life can always get worse! Image: Amazon WATCH: How to respond when your coworker asks you, "How was your weekend?"

Turkey summons German envoy over Kurdish rally in CologneTurkey summoned the German ambassador to Ankara on Saturday over what it said was a Kurdish militant rally in Cologne, the foreign ministry said, in a further sign of strained relations between the NATO allies. "We condemn the organization of a rally in the German city of Cologne by the extensions of the PKK terrorist organizations, and the allowing of terror propaganda. State-run Anadolu news agency said some 3,000 Kurdish supporters demonstrated in Cologne on Saturday carrying posters calling for the release of Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is listed as a terrorist group by the European Union and the United States, and is banned in Germany.
