Ahead of fractious G20, Germany and China pledge new cooperation Posted: 05 Jul 2017 07:32 AM PDT By Thomas Escritt and Michelle Martin BERLIN (Reuters) - Ties between China and Germany are about to enter a new phase, China's president said, as he met the German chancellor before a G20 summit that is expected to highlight their differences with the United States on a host of issues.

NASA has a plan for preventing asteroid strikes, and it’s going to test it Posted: 04 Jul 2017 01:11 PM PDT The threat of an asteroid striking Earth is pretty scary — and not just in all the ways Hollywood movies have depicted — but human technology has reached a point where it might actually be possible for us to prevent an asteroid impact if we see one headed our way. NASA has a concept for a tool that could do the trick. It's called the DART (short for Double Asteroid Redirection Test), and the agency is finally moving forward with its plan to design and hopefully build the hardware that it needs to save humanity's bacon. The idea behind DART is that by spotting a troublesome asteroid well in advance, a "kinetic impactor" could nudge the space rock off of its collision course with Earth. The plan includes sending a spacecraft to the asteroid and impacting it in such a way as to alter its orbit. The spacecraft wouldn't have to be particularly large — only about the size of a refrigerator — because even a small change in the asteroid's trajectory would be amplified over time and cause it to miss our planet. The DART plan is currently moving from the concept to design phase, and the actual testing of the hardware is expected to take place in 2024. At that point, a DART spacecraft will be sent to an asteroid that does not pose a threat to Earth, but will perform the same task as it would on a potentially cataclysmic space rock in order to gauge how well it actually works. Eventually, the fear of an asteroid collision could become a thing of the past.

US-backed forces breach wall in Syria IS stronghold Raqa Posted: 03 Jul 2017 10:42 PM PDT US-backed forces in Syria have entered the most heavily fortified area of Raqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State group, in what a US official says is a "key milestone" in the war against the jihadist force. Success in Raqa and major advances by US-backed forces in Mosul, a second IS stronghold in Iraq, represent a powerful double blow to the violent extremist group. The SDF faced heavy resistance, as the IS fighters used the wall as a combat position and planted mines and improvised explosive devices against advancing fighters.

Panda diplomacy: Merkel and Xi pushed into awkward embrace before G20 Posted: 04 Jul 2017 03:58 AM PDT By Noah Barkin BERLIN (Reuters) - When President Xi Jinping took the stage in Davos in January and painted China as a champion of free markets ready to fill the global leadership role vacated by the United States, German officials couldn't help but chuckle. Six months later, as Xi arrives in Berlin for a highly symbolic visit with German Chancellor Angela Merkel before a Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, what seemed laughable in the thin mountain air of the Swiss Alps is not so absurd any more. Despite concerns about human rights in China, frustrations over market access and worries about a wave of corporate takeovers in Europe by state-run Chinese firms, Germany is being pushed into an awkward embrace with Beijing as Trump doubles down on his promise to put "America First".

'Tsunami' of toxic wastewater kills plants, animals in Israel's desert Posted: 04 Jul 2017 06:46 AM PDT By Ari Rabinovitch MISHOR ROTEM, Israel (Reuters) - Toxic wastewater that surged through a dry riverbed in southern Israel at the weekend left a wake of ecological destruction more than 20 km (12 miles) long. The flood began last Friday when the 60 meter (yard) high wall of a reservoir at a phosphate factory partially collapsed, letting loose 100,000 cubic meters (26.4 million gallons) of highly acidic wastewater in the Ashalim riverbed. One section of the Ashalim riverbed is made up of narrow canyons, popular for hiking, but no one was around when the wastewater first gushed through.

How Chris Christie's lofty ambitions became beached after he sold his soul to Donald Trump Posted: 04 Jul 2017 07:06 AM PDT When that didn't work out – Christie dropped out the following day after a poor showing – the New Jersey governor quickly threw crucial support behind Donald Trump, a candidate he had once had harsh words for. While Trump frequently mocked his sidekick – there were reports Christie was sometimes dispatched to collect Trump's burgers – by the summer of 2016, his name was said to be on a shortlist of people being considered for vice president. Most powerfully, Christie is now remembered as the man burned by Trump, and who has nothing to show for it other than a beach chair, and a approval rating among the people of New Jersey of just 15 per cent. It is, by some measure, the worst of any of the country's 50 governors.

Azeri woman and child killed by rebels near Nagorno-Karabakh boundary: defense ministry Posted: 05 Jul 2017 07:14 AM PDT BAKU/YEREVAN (Reuters) - An Azeri woman and a child were killed and another civilian was wounded by Armenian-backed rebels near the boundary with the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region, Azerbaijan's defense ministry said on Wednesday. Sporadic exchanges of fire in the fight for control over the region - inside Azerbaijan but controlled by ethnic Armenians - have stoked fears of a wider conflict breaking out in the South Caucasus, which is criss-crossed by oil and gas pipelines.
