Elon Musk 'can stick his submarine where it hurts' says British diver who helped Thai cave rescue 

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 09:42 AM PDT

Elon Musk 'can stick his submarine where it hurts' says British diver who helped Thai cave rescue A British diver who helped rescue 12 Thai boys from a flooded cave has criticised Elon Musk's plan to retrieve them using a mini-submarine, calling it a "PR stunt". "He can stick his submarine where it hurts," said Vern Unsworth, 63, a Briton who lives in Thailand. Rolling his eyes Mr Unsworth told CNN: "It just had absolutely no chance of working. They had no conception of what the cave passage was like. "The submarine, I believe was about 5ft 6 long, rigid, so it wouldn't have gone round corners or any obstacles. It wouldn't have made the first 50 metres into the cave from the dive start point. Just a PR stunt." Mr Musk had himself gone into the cave, but Mr Unsworh said: "...and was asked to leave very quickly, and so he should have been." Cave rescuer on Musk: "It was a PR stunt. It had no chance of working." pic.twitter.com/uPgRMQLkRx— Quoth the Raven (@QTRResearch) July 13, 2018 Mr Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX, had built a prototype submarine as rescuers worked to free the 12 boys and their football coach. His pod was named "Wild Boar" after their football team and he released videos of it being tested in a swimming pool in California. It was made from parts of a rocket, could fit through small gaps, and was light enough to be carried by two divers. Testing of the mini-submarine Credit: Reuters All the boys and their coach were successfully rescued from the Tham Luang Cave on Tuesday without Mr Musk's help. A leader of the operation had previously called the mini-submarine idea "not practical". That led to Mr Musk being criticised by some people on social media. The billionaire said he had just been trying to help. He said: "This reaction has shaken my opinion of many people. "We were asked to create a backup option and worked hard to do so. Checked with dive team many times to confirm it was worthwhile. Now it's there for anyone who needs it in the future. "Something's messed up if this is not a good thing."

Syria rebels evacuate 'cradle' of uprising as Israel strikes northHundreds of Syrian rebels and their relatives left the southern city of Daraa on Sunday under a deal to bring the "cradle" of the country's uprising back under government control. Just hours after the transfers, Syria accused its longtime enemy Israel of trying to support the rebels by targeting a Syrian army position in the war-ravaged country's north. After securing Damascus in May, President Bashar al-Assad turned his attention to rebels in the strategic south, where protests against his rule first erupted in 2011.

Germany agrees to take share of 450 migrants awaiting fate on ships off Italy

Posted: 15 Jul 2018 11:21 AM PDT

Germany agrees to take share of 450 migrants awaiting fate on ships off ItalyGermany has agreed to take 50 of 450 migrants rescued from an overcrowded boat in the Mediterranean following a plea from Italy for EU states to share responsibility. Sunday's show of goodwill came after France and Malta had already agreed to take 50 migrants each in response to letters sent to the governments of the 27 other EU members by Giuseppe Conte, the Italian prime minister, asking them to share responsibility with Rome. It also came as Horst Seehofer, the German interior minister, confirmed that Bavarian state police would be given the power to patrol the state's southern border with Austria as a part of a series of new measures aimed at clamping down on migrant arrivals.  Mr Seehofer said on Sunday that Bavarian police would be able to conduct checks at the Austrian border "at the request or with the consent of federal police," after it was questioned whether it was legal for such power to be granted to them.  The number of people crossing the German-Austrian border illegally has dropped sharply since a dramatic influx of migrants in 2015. However, with the Bavarian regional elections in October, Mr Seehofer's Christian Social Union (CSU), which governs in Bavaria, is under pressure to take a hard line on migration.  Earlier this month Mr Seehofer threatened to resign if chancellor Angela Merkel failed to come up with a European solution, or to allow him to implement tougher border controls. The migrants were saved by two ships, one operated by EU border agency Frontex and one owned by Italy's tax police Credit:  JORGE GUERRERO/ AFP Following the row, which threatened to tear apart the coalition government, Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and her Bavarian counterparts reached an agreement on how to control migration at the German-Austrian border.  Germany is also under pressure to share the burden of accepting and hosting new migrant arrivals from outside the bloc, as was pledged at an EU summit in Brussels last month. In light of the talks, the German government on Sunday agreed to take in its migrants who were picked up near the Italian island of Linosa, close to Malta, having sailed from Libya in a single wooden vessel.  "Germany and Italy have agreed that, in view of the ongoing talks on closer bilateral cooperation on asylum, Germany is ready to accept 50 people in this case," a German government spokeswoman said on Sunday. Immigrant relations map migrant immigration Europe Italy Mr Conte said his country would help the migrants, but needed other members of the EU to share the burden.   "This is the solidarity and responsibility that we have always asked of Europe and now, after the results obtained at the last European Council, they are beginning to become reality," Mr Conte wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday afternoon. "Let's continue on this path with firmness and respect for human rights," he added. However the Czech Republic refused his request and Andrej Babis, the prime minister, tweeted that the approach was the "road to hell".  Boats should instead be stopped and turned back, he said, and migrants should be helped in their own countries. The migrants were saved by two ships, one operated by EU border agency Frontex and one owned by Italy's tax police.  As they awaited to learn their destiny, another day's worth of food and beverages was sent to the ships on Sunday. By late afternoon, passengers suffering from dehydration, pregnant women and some babies, including a newborn a few days old, had been taken ashore in Pozzallo. Italian media said a woman weighing 35 kilos (77 pounds) after months of malnourishment in Libya was among them. Sky TG24 TV reported that many of the rescued passengers originally are from Eritrea.  On Sunday night Matteo Salvini, Italy's interior minister, said he will allow some but not all migrants to disembark in Sicily from the overcrowded boat. "I am monitoring the situation of two ships travelling in Italian waters... there are 16 mothers and 11 children who will disembark in the next few minutes, hours...," Mr Salvini told TV channel RaiNews24.

Gaza ceasefire holds after Netanyahu says Israel inflicted 'hardest blow' on Hamas since 2014

Posted: 15 Jul 2018 08:58 AM PDT

Gaza ceasefire holds after Netanyahu says Israel inflicted 'hardest blow' on Hamas since 2014A ceasefire announced by Hamas largely held on Sunday after the most severe exchange of fire between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip since a 2014 war, easing fears of a wider conflict. Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the blockaded Gaza Strip, said late on Saturday a ceasefire had been reached with the help of Egypt and others, though Israel declined to comment. The United Nations' Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov was in Gaza and "working with all concerned parties to de-escalate the situation," a UN official said on condition of anonymity. In a press conference, he called on "everybody to step back from the brink". Despite a few lower-level exchanges of fire, relative calm returned to the Gaza Strip. Buildings belonging to the Gaza municipality are seen after after Israeli fighter jets pounded Al Katiba region in Gaza City Credit:  Anadolu   In one incident on Sunday, an Israeli aircraft fired at what it said was militants launching balloons carrying firebombs over the Gaza border fence. It was not clear if there were casualties. Saturday saw dozens of Israeli air strikes, killing two Palestinians, while some 200 rockets and mortars were fired from the enclave at Israel. Four Israelis were wounded when a rocket hit a house in the city of Sderot near the Gaza Strip, authorities said. The two Palestinians killed were aged 15 and 16, caught in an Israeli strike on a building in Gaza City, the enclave's health ministry said. Twenty-five people were wounded across Gaza, it said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas had been hit with "the hardest blow" since a 2014 war. He said Israel would not accept a ceasefire "that would allow the continuation of terrorism by incendiary kites and balloons". "We are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately," he said. Hamas said it fired at Israel in defence in response to air strikes, which came after a soldier was wounded by a grenade along the Gaza border. Hamas leader Ismail Haniya said Sunday at the funeral for the two teenagers that the movement would challenge Israel with border protests until the blockade is lifted. "This blood will not be shed for nothing," he told hundreds of mourners. "The enemy will not escape the punishment of the heroic resistance." The mother of Amir al-Namra, the 15-year-old killed, said: "He just went out for walk. What did he and his friend do for them to be killed?" Israel blamed Hamas for the escalation, pointing to months of protests and clashes along the border that its military argues the Islamist movement is seeking to use as cover for attacks. There have also been hundreds of fires at Israeli farms caused by kites and balloons carrying firebombs from Gaza, leading to political pressure on the government and military to take action against Hamas. Thick plumes of smoke had risen over parts of the Gaza Strip on Saturday as Israel hit dozens of targets it said belonged to militants, including a five-storey unoccupied building allegedly used by Hamas as a training facility with a tunnel underneath. The army said the strikes targeted Hamas military facilities, including a battalion headquarters, training facilities and weapons storage areas. In Israel, air raid sirens on Saturday sent people rushing to shelters in areas surrounding the Gaza Strip as rockets and mortars were fired from the Palestinian enclave at nearby communities. Israel said its air defences intercepted around 30 of the some 200 rockets and mortars fired. Tensions have been building between Hamas and Israel for months over protests and clashes along the border fence. The two sides have already fought three wars since 2008. Since the protests and clashes broke out along the border on March 30, at least 141 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire. The majority of those killed were involved in protests and clashes but others were seeking to breach or damage the border fence. No Israelis have been killed.

Twitter suspends two accounts linked to 12 Russians indicted by MuellerBy Michelle Price and David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Social networking site Twitter Inc on Saturday suspended two accounts linked to 12 Russian spies indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. On Friday, a federal grand jury charged the 12 Russian intelligence officers with hacking Democratic computer networks in 2016 in the most detailed U.S. accusation yet that Moscow meddled in the election to help Republican Donald Trump. Twitter said on Saturday it had suspended the accounts @DCLeaks_ and @Guccifer_2 that were named in the indictment, which alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy involving sophisticated hacking and staged release of documents.

Six-year-old heard in ProPublica US border separation tape reunited with mother

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 08:18 AM PDT

Six-year-old heard in ProPublica US border separation tape reunited with motherA six-year-old girl who was recorded crying in a detention centre after being separated from her mother at the US-Mexico border has been reunited with her. The mother, Cindy Madrid, who had fled from El Salvador, was reunited with her daughter Alisson at Houston airport after weeks apart. Last month Alisson was heard on a tape published by ProPublica, reciting a phone number for her family as she was detained. At a press conference in Houston,  Alisson, speaking though an interpreter, said: "I was away from her for a month and I was really happy when I saw her. I was happy because I was able to see her and hug her." Her mother said: "It's so hard for a parent to be away from their kids. I was so desperate." The family's lawyer said they would be living together in Houston before an asylum hearing at an as yet unknown date. The mother had been held at a detention centre in Houston and her daughter had been taken to one in Arizona. Under the "zero tolerance" policy employed by US President Donald Trump they were separated after crossing the border illegally. Mr Trump later reversed the policy. Donald Trump's shameful border policy is alienating his supporters It came as a judge in California ordered the Trump administration to pay the costs of reuniting illegal immigrant parents with children separated from them at the border, rather than forcing the parents to pay. The US government is still working to reunite more than 2,500 children with their parents.

The new reforms also include the introduction of the presumption of innocence in the island's justice system and the creation of the position of prime minister, alongside the existing president.
