Fuel supplies, schools hit on Week 3 of 'yellow vest' protests

Posted: 02 Dec 2018 04:16 PM PST

Fuel supplies, schools hit on Week 3 of 'yellow vest' protestsDozens of French "yellow vest" demonstrators blocked access to a major fuel depot and several highways on Monday on the third week of anti-government protests which led to major riots in Paris at the weekend. Around 50 people blocked the fuel depot in the port of Fos-sur-Mer, near Marseille, where police have repeatedly intervened to dislodge demonstrators since small-town and rural France erupted in protests over rising living costs on November 17. Traffic was also backed up on highways leading to the southern cities of Aix-en-Provence, Orange, Montpellier, Nimes and Sete as the movement, which began over fuel tax increases but has morphed into a broader wave of resistance to Macron's pro-business policies, rumbled on.

Mexican city shuts down migrant shelter near US border, blaming 'bad sanitary conditions'The city of Tijuana has closed down a migrant shelter close to the US border where as many as 6,000 Central American migrants have been staying as they wait for their asylum claims to be processed. The migrants are now being moved from the sports centre where the shelter had been located to a former concert venue that is much further from the US-Mexico border, officials have said. The facilities were designed to hold about half as many people as had been placed there as the migrants arrived from their long journeys north through Mexico.

China grain traders await lower tariffs before returning to U.S. market

Posted: 03 Dec 2018 07:02 AM PST

China grain traders await lower tariffs before returning to U.S. marketChina will need to drop its steep tariffs imposed on a range of American farm products earlier this year before it can fulfill its pledge to buy a "very substantial" amount of U.S. goods, said Chinese traders on Monday. China and the United States agreed on Saturday to refrain from setting additional tariffs that would further escalate a months-long trade war that has roiled global markets and halted sales of American soybeans to the world's top buyer. The temporary truce on trade followed talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of a two-day gathering of world leaders in Argentina.

Moscow has accused the 24 sailors of illegally crossing the Russian border, which Ukraine denies.

Mexico's new president takes aim at violence during first day in office

Mexico's new president takes aim at violence during first day in officeIn a Sunday morning speech, Mexico's first leftist president in decades continued to pivot from an emphasis during the campaign on peaceful reconciliation and even amnesty for some involved in the country's grueling drug war to a more traditional approach defined by more soldiers and police. "We must adjust to a new era," he said, flanked by generals at a military base in the capital, while emphasizing that his security policy will also respect human rights. In the first phase of his plan, a 60,000-strong national guard force made up of army, navy and other federal police will battle crime while a constitutional reform will be pursued to cement the new strategy.

Astronauts blast off for space station on Russian rocket after October crash

Posted: 03 Dec 2018 03:05 AM PST

Astronauts blast off for space station on Russian rocket after October crashA Russian, an American and a Canadian astronaut have taken off for the international space station in the first manned launch of a Soyuz rocket since a harrowing crash in October.  Monday's launch of the MS-11 ship was a closely watched test for Russia's space industry, which has suffered several high-profile failures in recent years but remains the only reliable way to deliver crew to the orbiting station.  A source of national pride for both the Soviet Union and Russia under Vladimir Putin, missions into the cosmos are virtually the only area of cooperation left between Russia and the United States after the Ukraine crisis.  Space station veteran and mission commander Oleg Kononenko, 54, Quebec family doctor David Saint-Jacques, 48, and Anne McClain, 39, a US army helicopter pilot who earned masters degrees from the University of Bath and Bristol in the UK, lifted off in a cloud of flame and smoke from Kazakhstan's Baikonur cosmodrome on Monday afternoon. From bottom, Oleg Kononenko, Anne McClain and David Saint-Jacques board their Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft in Kazakhstan on Monday Credit: Shamil Zhumatov/Reuters In the course of an eight-minute flight through the atmosphere, the craft first jettisoned its boosters and then its second stage rocket to successfully deliver the spacecraft into orbit.  The trio were scheduled to dock with the space station six hours later to relieve the current crew, which will return home on December 20.  On Tuesday, Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to launch from Cape Canaveral a long-delayed reusable Falcon 9 rocket with 5,600 pounds of research equipment and supplies including holiday food for the space station. The MS-11 mission was moved up after the same kind of Soyuz spacecraft and FG rocket booster crashed at Baikonur in October, risking the lives of Russian commander Alexei Ovchinin and Nasa astronaut Nick Hague. One of the four boosters caught on the second stage as they detached, sending the rocket careening toward the ground a little more than two minutes after takeoff. The capsule automatically aborted the mission and parachuted the two men to safety about 250 miles away on the plains of Kazakhstan.  Soyuz MS-10 takes off from Baikonur before its crash in October Credit: Dmitri Lovetsky/AP Russia blamed the crash on a sensor in the booster separation system that was damaged during installation in what the space agency head could have been an act of sabotage. Having taken apart two rockets during an investigation, its specialists have now fixed the problem, a special commission said. Arianespace launched a European weather satellite into orbit on an unmanned Soyuz rocket last month. Monday's mission follows a scare at the space station in August when a drop in pressure was traced to a small hole in a panel in a Soyuz MS-09 module, which had docked with the station in June.  Russia's space czar at one point suggested the hole could have been drilled by the German or American crew member on the station. MS-11 crew member Anne McClain said she had absolute confidence in the Soyuz despite the crash, telling CBS News she "would have gotten on a rocket the day after that happened".  But crashes of unmanned Russian spacecraft in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 have called into doubt the viability of the country's space industry, where low wages have reportedly hurt operations. In the most egregious incident, an unmanned Soyuz rocket carrying 19 international satellites crashed in November 2017 after it was programmed with the coordinates for the wrong launch site.  A Russian Orthodox priests blesses the MS-11 spaceship with holy water on Sunday Credit: Kirill Kudryavtsev/AFP Monday's mission started from the same launchpad that Yuri Gagarin did when he became the first man in space in 1961. Russian Orthodox priests flicked holy water on the rocket, launch team and assembled journalists during a blessing the day before. On Friday, Russia launched three communications satellites into space and an unidentified fourth object that some think could be a new spy satellite.

Iran says OPEC members who increased output should take lead on cuts

Iran says OPEC members who increased output should take lead on cutsThe comments underline tensions within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ahead of this week's meeting to discuss curbing output and prolonging a supply-limiting pact with Russia and other non-members into 2019. Iran has been angered by higher production from Saudi Arabia and Russia, which chair a panel called the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), after calls from U.S. President Donald Trump to pump more oil to offset a drop in Iranian exports hit by U.S. sanctions. "This is very regrettable and we understand their frustration," Iran's OPEC governor, Hossein Kazempour Ardebili, told Reuters, referring to Doha's announcement on Monday.
