Israel bombs Syria in 'first strike' since air defences were upgraded

Posted: 30 Nov 2018 04:21 AM PST

Israel bombs Syria in 'first strike' since air defences were upgradedIsrael struck several positions south of Damascus in the first strikes since Syrian air defences were upgraded following the accidental downing of a Russian plane in September, a war monitor said Friday. Damascus claimed its air defence systems shot down all "hostile targets" late Thursday. Israel did not confirm carrying out raids but denied any losses. According to the Syria Observatory for Human Rights, the strikes hit two positions in the south of Damascus province, including an area believed to be an Iranian weapons depot near the capital. "Israeli forces bombarded for an hour," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said. Two missiles hit "weapons depots belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah (militant group) as well as Iranian forces" in Kisweh. Another missile hit the area of Harfa, where there is a Syrian military base, the Britain-based monitor said. In Kisweh, "the depots that were targeted are used to temporarily store rockets until they are taken somewhere else," Abdel Rahman said. "It appears the Israelis had intelligence that weapons had arrived there recently," he said. The state news agency said the attack was foiled and did not admit to any losses. "Our air defences fired on hostile targets over the Kisweh area and downed them," SANA said, citing a military source. A military source quoted by the pro-government Al-Watan daily said "the aggression, despite its intensity, was not able to implement any of its goals and all enemy bodies were downed." Initial reports by the Observatory suggested there were no casualties. The Israeli military denied any of its assets were hit but stopped short of denying it had conducted strikes at all. "Reports regarding an IDF (Israeli military) aircraft or an airborne IDF target having been hit are false," it said in an English-language statement. It said a Syrian surface-to-air missile was fired in the direction of an open area of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights but it was unclear if it had hit Israeli-held territory.

Pompeo: no intelligence directly links Saudi prince to Khashoggi killing

Pompeo: no intelligence directly links Saudi prince to Khashoggi killingU.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Saturday he has seen all the intelligence possessed by the United States on the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and repeated that no direct evidence links Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the incident. "I have read every piece of intelligence that is in the possession of United States government," Pompeo said in an interview with broadcaster CNN in Buenos Aires on the sidelines of the G20 summit. "When it is done, when you complete that analysis, there's no direct evidence linking him to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.


YouPorn bans Starbucks products from its offices after the cafe chain bans porn

Posted: 01 Dec 2018 07:54 AM PST

YouPorn bans Starbucks products from its offices after the cafe chain bans pornStarbucks doesn't want customers using each cafe's free WiFi to look at porn. Now, YouPorn has apparently responded with a blanket ban on Starbucks products in its offices. The coffee company confirmed on Thursday that a plan is in motion to prevent customers from accessing online pornography over in-store WiFi. "We have identified a solution to prevent this content from being viewed within our stores and we will begin introducing it to our U.S. locations in 2019," a spokesperson said. SEE ALSO: Deaf and hard-of-hearing customers in the U.S. celebrate Starbucks' first 'Signing Store' That's probably a smart move for a family-friendly business like Starbucks, but YouPorn had a little fun with the news. In an internal memo obtained by Forbes, YouPorn vice president Charlie Hughes imposed a blanket ban on Starbucks products in the company's offices, effective Jan. 1, 2019. "In light of the news that Starbucks has blocked customers from searching and viewing adult content within their establishments, Starbucks products will officially be banned from the YouPorn offices," Hughes wrote. (A YouPorn spokesperson later confirmed to Forbes the authenticity of the memo.) It's hard to imagine an employer actually taking disciplinary action against one of its workers over their coffee brand preference. Maybe Hughes is serious, but the more likely explanation is this memo "leak" is just a clever public relations move aimed at getting YouPorn into a few headlines. In which case, job well done. In the dumpster fire that is our current 24-hour news cycle, YouPorn's silly, hopefully non-serious clapback at this sensible move from Starbucks amounts to a welcome break.

Posted: 30 Nov 2018 08:19 AM PST

U.S.-backed Syrian fighters say they hold Islamic State leader's assistantU.S.-backed fighters in Syria have captured a senior Islamic State leader who served as an assistant to the group's self-declared "caliph" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, they said on Friday. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led militia alliance that holds the quarter of Syria east of the Euphrates, detained Osama al-Awaid last week, it said in a statement. SDF fighters have been attempting to take Islamic State's last Syrian pocket of territory on the banks of the Euphrates near Iraq for weeks, in an offensive backed by U.S.-led air strikes.

Trump argues tariffs with Xi after tense G20 summit

Trump argues tariffs with Xi after tense G20 summitUS President Donald Trump sat down for a tariffs showdown over dinner with China's leader Saturday after upending another international forum by snubbing G20 action on trade disputes and climate change. Trump and President Xi Jinping met in Buenos Aires, shortly after the annual summit of the world's leading economic powers concluded with a watered-down statement described by one G20 expert as the "lowest common denominator" of international diplomacy. "The relationship is very special -- the relationship that I have with President Xi -- and I think that is going to be a very primary reason why we will probably end up getting something that will be good for China and the United States," Trump said at the start of the dinner.

Airline apologises for staff who mocked five-year-old Abcde's name

Posted: 29 Nov 2018 06:36 PM PST

Airline apologises for staff who mocked five-year-old Abcde's nameAn American airline has apologised after a member of staff was accused of ridiculing five-year-old Abcde Redford's name. Traci Redmond was travelling with her daughter, who pronounces her name "ab-si-dee", when she said a Southwest Airlines boarding gate employee at at California's John Wayne Airport began laughing and took a photograph of the child's boarding pass, before posting it online. "The gate agent started laughing, pointing at me and my daughter, talking to other employees. So I turned around and said, 'Hey if I can hear you, my daughter can hear you, so I'd appreciate if you'd just stop,'" she told ABC7 News. They were travelling to their home in El Paso, Texas, and were boarding early as Abcde has epilepsy. "While I was sitting there, she took a picture of my boarding pass and chose to post it on social media, mocking my daughter," said Ms Redmond. The boarding pass posted online "It was actually brought to my attention by somebody who had seen it on Facebook and reported it to Southwest Airlines. And after two weeks of doing a formal complaint, Southwest hadn't done anything." The airline apologised to the family in a statement. "We take great pride in extending our Southwest Hospitality to all of our Customers, which includes living by the Golden Rule and treating every individual with respect, in person or online. The post is not indicative of the care, respect, and civility we expect from all of our employees," it said, although it declined to say what action it had taken against its member of staff. The name Abcde may be rare but it is not unique. In 2014, seven-year-old Abcde Santos, who has autism, made headlines when she was turned away from a shopping centre Santa's grotto because of the pit bull service dog
