Zimbabwe rivals promise victory in pitch for votes at final election ralliesBy MacDonald Dzirutwe HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his rival Nelson Chamisa held final election rallies on Saturday and both vowed to rebuild an economy shattered by Robert Mugabe's long rule. Monday's vote is the first since Mugabe was forced to step down in November after a de facto coup and, as such, is a major national test. The run-up to the presidential and parliamentary election has been peaceful compared to previous polls but there are reports of intimidation and coercion in rural constituencies, and state media is biased towards the ruling ZANU–PF party.

CBS titan Moonves accused of sexual misconduct

CBS titan Moonves accused of sexual misconductA bombshell article published in The New Yorker on Friday accused CBS chairman and chief executive, Leslie Moonves, of sexual misconduct stretching back decades and painted a broader picture of similar behavior within America's most watched television network. The article makes Moonves, a distinguished executive who transformed CBS into a ratings winner, one of the most powerful American men implicated in the #MeToo era that ignited last year after the career implosion of Harvey Weinstein. Six women who had professional dealings with Moonves told the magazine that he sexually harassed them between the 1980s and late 2000s.


Rudy Giuliani's puzzling unfinished tweet brings out the best in Snark Twitter

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 07:56 AM PDT

Rudy Giuliani's puzzling unfinished tweet brings out the best in Snark TwitterIt's no "covfefe," but really, can anything ever beat that? Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump's perhaps overly talkative lawyer, sent out a tweet on Sunday morning that quickly went viral.  SEE ALSO: The internet mocks Alex Jones' conspiracy theory with #SecondCivilWarLetters It was clearly a mistake, and may now be serving as a helpful distraction for the beleaguered Giuliani. But it's prompted some first-class responses. First, here's the tweet. You — Rudy Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) July 29, 2018 It's the kind of accidental posting any of us could share, and get roasted for. Twitter did exactly that.  Since signing on to represent Trump, Giuliani has gone on TV again and again to reinforce the president's lies. This past week he's been getting hammered in the news for saying that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen "has lied all his life," a sharp reversal from Giuliani's earlier claims dating all the way back to May that Cohen is "honest" and "going to tell the truth."  That could be why "You" hasn't been deleted, especially after an unfinished Saturday night tweet from Giuliani also caught fire on social media.  Tons of folks took "You" as a musical cue ...Make Me Feel Brand Newhttps://t.co/BEyl9x5f04 https://t.co/tcxIKzPk9S — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 29, 2018 .... you got what I neee-eeeed! �� cc: @BizMarkie https://t.co/QRflAaqhHb — Willie Geist (@WillieGeist) July 29, 2018 make me feel like a natural woman https://t.co/LCIs2PE43P — Alan McGuinness (@Alan_McGuinness) July 29, 2018 And IIIIIIIIIIIII-EEEEEE-IIIIIIII, will always love https://t.co/5dp9GRl8A6 — Fred Delicious (@Fred_Delicious) July 29, 2018 *steel drums play*""Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!Soulja Boy up in this hoWatch me crank it, watch me rollWatch me crank that Soulja BoyThen Superman that hoNow watch me... https://t.co/irvaFkeiMz — ��‍�������� (@papagronda) July 29, 2018 Others used it to rib Giuliani ....are not a very good lawyer https://t.co/dhZmb5sGR5 — Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) July 29, 2018 In which Rudy makes a public statement without making things worsehttps://t.co/GN41iXYyby — WouldOrWouldn'tHat (@Popehat) July 29, 2018 "You" As in "you" over there have you seen any of my dignity?

Deadly California wildfire kills great-grandmother and two children

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 10:51 AM PDT

Deadly California wildfire kills great-grandmother and two childrenGrieving relatives described the panicked phone calls they received as fires closed in on their California neighbourhood and their desperate two-day search for an elderly woman and her two great-grandhildren, before discovering they died when flames engulfed their home. The death toll from California's summer wildfires rose to five at the weekend when fire crews said they had found human remains at a charred home on the outskirts of Redding in the north of the state. More than 38,000 people remain under evacuation orders from a fire that has destroyed more than 500 buildings and continued to rage unchecked into a seventh day yesterday. Melody, 70, and two great-grandchildren – James Roberts, 5, and Emily Roberts, 4 died in the blaze Ed Bledsoe described how he left his home with the family's only car to run errands on Thursday leaving his wife Melody, 70, and two great-grandchildren – James Roberts, 5, and Emily Roberts, 4 - behind. He told Capital Public Radio his wife telephoned an hour later. "She said, 'You need to come home right now. The fire's right next to our house,'" he said. Mr Bledsoe tried to race home but was turned back at roadblocks. The children were "screaming for their lives," Jason Decker, the boyfriend of another of the Bledsoes' granddaughters, told the New York Times. "The kids were saying: 'Papa, papa, come home. The fire's at the back door.'" Some 3500 firefighters are trying to contain the flames Credit: Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP Then the line went dead. For two days they searched hospitals and refuges after being told the three had been rescued. But on Saturday, officials said three bodies had been found at what was left of their home.

Her children had been in the care of their great-grandparents while she had spent the past four months incarcerated at the county jail. Police tape blocks the house where relatives say three people were found dead following a wildfire in Redding Credit: Jonathan Cooper/AP Two fire service personnel also died last week. President Donald Trump declared the fire an emergency at the weekend, freeing federal funds for disaster relief efforts. Almost 90 fires are burning across western states – stretching from Texas to Oregon – but the most destructive so far is the Carr Fire which has blackened almost 90,000 acres of parched land in California since erupting last Monday. Cal Fire, the state fire brigade, says it was caused by the mechanical failure of a vehicle but has offered no further details about how it began. Homes leveled by the Carr Fire line the Lake Keswick Estates area of Redding Credit: Noah Berger/AP Since then, low humidity, high temperatures and gusting winds have accelerated it into a blazing, unpredictable storm. More than 5000 buildings are at risk as 3,500 firefighters and a squadron of 17 water-dropping helicopters try to contain its flames by carving buffer zones around its advancing fronts. By yesterday(SUN), they said they had managed to contain just 5 percent of the fire's perimeter. Anna Noland, 49, is among those staying at a shelter in Redding. She said she had been forced to flee twice in three days, before learning from video footage that her home had been destroyed. "I think I'm still in shock," she told the Associated Press. "It's just unbelievable knowing you don't have a house to go back to."

Judge urges U.S. to focus on reuniting deported parents with children

Judge urges U.S. to focus on reuniting deported parents with childrenBy Marty Graham SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - A judge on Friday urged the U.S. government to focus on finding deported immigrant parents so it could reunite them with their children who remain in the United States following separation by officials at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months. The government had declared it had met a court-ordered deadline to reunite families separated during the Trump administration's "zero tolerance policy" aimed at discouraging illegal immigration. U.S. Judge Dana Sabraw said at a court hearing in San Diego the government deserved credit for the 1,820 children released from custody to a parent or sponsor.

Robert Mugabe: I won't vote for 'those who tormented me' in Zimbabwe elections

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 04:27 AM PDT

Robert Mugabe: I won't vote for 'those who tormented me' in Zimbabwe electionsRobert Mugabe, the former dictator of Zimbabwe, backed the main opposition candidate against his own party in a surprise intervention on the eve of today's historic general election.  Mr Mugabe, 94, said he could not vote for Zanu-PF, the party he headed for four decades until he was deposed in November, and indicated he would back the opposition MDC alliance instead.   "I cannot vote for the people who tormented me," Mr Mugabe said, referring the the current Zanu PF leader and incumbent president Emmerdon Mnangagwa. "I will make my choice from the other 22 candidates." But he added: "Who is there left? I think it is just Chamisa." Mr Mugabe said he would accept the outcome of the election whoever won.  It was not clear if Mr Mugabe's last-minute intervention would affect voting intentions. An apparent endorsement by the widely-hated dictator could erode some of Mr Chamisa's credibility as an oppositionist and candidate of change.   However, he could pick up votes from traditional Zanu PF supporters dismayed at Mr Mugabe's treatment during the soft coup that ended his rule last year.  Speaking at an impromptu press conference on the grounds of his sprawling mansion in northern Harare, Mr Mugabe, flanked by his wife Grace, said he had been illegally "sacked" in the coup and accused Mr Mnangagwa of destroying Zimbabwe's democracy.   Mugabe made the unexpected intervention as Zimbabwe prepared for its first elections since he was removed from power in a soft coup Credit: JEKESAI NJIKIZANA/AFP/Getty Images "I hope the choice of voting tomorrow will throw, thrust away the military government and bring us back to constitutionality," he said.  "Let tomorrow be the voice of the people to say never again shall we experience a period where the army is used to thrust one person into power." Mr Mugabe ruled Zimbabwe for 38 years until was he deposed in a largely bloodless military coup in November following a power struggle between Grace Mugabe and Mr Mnangagwa, a former vice president and intelligence chief.  Monday's presidential election will be the first in which Mr Mugabe is not on the ballot paper since the end of white minority rule in 1980. Parliamentary and local government elections take place simultaneously.  The poll is widely seen as a two-horse race between Mr Mnangagwa of  the ruling Zanu PF and Mr Chamisa of the MDC Alliance, a grouping of seven opposition parties.  Both candidates have promised radical economic and political reforms in a bid to convince voters that only they offer a break with the Mugabe years.  The most recent poll by AfroBarometer, an international pollster, put Mr Chamisa on 37 percent of the vote and Mr Mnangagwa on 40 percent.  Show of unity: Mugabe and his wife Grace Credit: Tsvangirayi Mukwazhi/AP Several prominent former members of the G40, the faction inside Zanu PF that backed Mrs Mugabe in her unsuccessful power struggle with Mr Mnangagwa, have openly endorsed Mr Chamisa. Mr Chamisa, 40, said he would not reject Mr Mugabe's indirect endorsement, but ruled out allowing Grace Mugabe a place in his cabinet.  "I will accept any voter with a clear mind and a clean heart," he said at a press conference.   "I need every support and this is not about the past. it's about the future. I must not gaze  at the past. We are going forward and it is a waste of time watching internal fights in Zanu PF. The conduct and outcome of Monday's election will be seen as a key test of Mr Mnangagwa's promise to build a "New Zimbabwe" of democracy and political pluralism.  The international community has demanded a free and fair vote as a condition for allowing Zimbabwe to rejoining the Commonwealth and for the lifting of US sanctions that currently block IMF loans.  Mr Mnangagwa, who orchestrated violent crackdowns against the MDC on previous elections, has promised a "non-violent, peaceful" election and international observers and journalists have been allowed into the country for the first time in years.  The number of people leaving Zimbabwe has steadily increased under Mugabe The state-owned media and many privately owned but Zanu-controlled outlets have openly backed Mr Mnangagwa, depriving the opposition of much publicity.  Mr Chamisa has accused Zanu PF of planning to rig the vote, and has told supporters that a defeat would be proof the election was crooked.  Opposition activists have complained that a new electoral roll includes thousands of suspicious entries that could be "ghost voters" used for ballot rigging.  The EU, which partially funded the compilation of the new voters roll,  which according to a review has no crucial irregularities.  Profile | Emmerson Mnangagwa

California fire 'tornado' kills two firefighters, thousands flee

California fire 'tornado' kills two firefighters, thousands fleeBy Alexandria Sage REDDING, Calif. (Reuters) - A fast-growing northern California wildfire killed a second firefighter on Friday after high winds drove it into the city of Redding, prompting mass evacuations, destroying 500 structures and threatening thousands of other dwellings and businesses, officials said. Flames raging in California's scenic Shasta-Trinity area erupted into a firestorm that jumped across the Sacramento River and swept into the western side of Redding, home to about 90,000 people, forcing residents to flee. Firefighters and police "went into life-safety mode," hustling door to door to usher civilians out of harm's way, said Scott McLean, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire).

In his final campaign speech days before the poll, Hun Sen was in typically bombastic form, bragging about the legal action to "eliminate traitors who attempted to topple the government".

New dolphin-whale hybrid sea creature is the spawn of an unholy union

Posted: 28 Jul 2018 02:52 PM PDT

New dolphin-whale hybrid sea creature is the spawn of an unholy unionWhile surveying whales and dolphins off the Hawaiian Islands, scientists spotted a creature they've never seen before: a peculiar hybrid between a dolphin and a small whale.  In 2017, before future naval officers trained on submarines in the waters around Kauai — a place called the Pacific Missile Range Facility — the U.S. Navy hired marine researchers from the Cascadia Research Collective to study the native animals in these seas. After encountering a large pod of melon-headed whales, the researchers tagged two of them, to see where they might go.  It was then that the researchers noticed something curious about one of the creatures. It wasn't quite a melon-headed whale. Nor was it exactly a rough-toothed dolphin, which are common to the area.  They collected some tissue from the animal, and after returning to shore and performing genetic testing, discovered it wasn't either species, but both. SEE ALSO: Iceland gets away with killing dozens of huge, endangered whales. Here's why. Melon-headed whales swimming in tropical waters (not hybrids).Image: NoaaThe hybrid was especially rare because of its melon-headed genes: The toothed-whales are rarely seen in these Hawaiian waters, the researchers wrote. Both species belong to the Delphinidae (oceanic dolphin) family, but the report notes that cross-species unions between them are unusual: It's only the third recorded example in the Delphinidae family, and the first between these two species. The hybrid, however strange, certainly wasn't treated as an outcast. The marine scientists tagged the hybrid with satellite tracking GPS, along with a companion, to see where they might go. And it appears they stayed together, travelling some 475 miles over eight days, and diving thousands of feet beneath the surface. WATCH: Ever wonder how the universe might end?
