Half of 'caravan' asylum seekers in U.S., Sessions puts judges on borderBy Delphine Schrank TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - At least 88 Central American asylum seekers from a caravan through Mexico had crossed into the United States by Wednesday, a movement that prompted U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to beef up legal resources on the border. Women, children and transgender people were among those who waited for hours inside the walkway to the U.S. gate before being allowed to pass through to begin the asylum process. On Wednesday, U.S. officials let in three groups totaling 63 migrants, a dramatic uptick from the trickle permitted since Monday.

This Photo Shows a U.S. Navy Attack Submarine 'Sinking' a British Aircraft CarrierFor every sailor who's not in a submarine, submarines are real scary. To prove they could have sunk the carrier, Corner Brook's crew snapped a photo through the periscope—and the Canadian navy helpfully published it."The picture represents hard evidence that the submarine was well within attack parameters and would have been successful in an attack," boasted Cmdr. Luc Cassivi, commander of the Canadian submarine division. A photo depicting an American nuclear-powered submarine poking its periscope above the waves—within shooting distance of a British aircraft carrier during a war game—is a useful reminder of one of the most important truths of naval warfare.

China installs cruise missiles on South China Sea outposts: CNBC

Posted: 03 May 2018 01:24 AM PDT

China installs cruise missiles on South China Sea outposts: CNBCChina has installed anti-ship cruise missiles and surface-to-air missile systems on three of its outposts in the South China Sea, U.S. news network CNBC reported on Wednesday, citing sources with direct knowledge of U.S. intelligence reports. The installations, if confirmed, would mark the first Chinese missile deployments in the Spratly Islands, where several Asian countries including Vietnam and Taiwan have rival claims. China has made no mention of any missile deployments but says its military facilities in the Spratlys are purely defensive, and that it can do what it likes on its own territory.


Widow of China dissident Liu Xiaobo in desperate plea for help after years under house arrest

Posted: 03 May 2018 01:31 AM PDT

Widow of China dissident Liu Xiaobo in desperate plea for help after years under house arrestLiu Xia, the wife of Nobel Peace laureate and dissident Liu Xiaobo, has made a desperate plea for help, telling friends she is willing to die at home in protest after being kept under house arrest for several years. The 57-year-old poet was put under house arrest in 2010 after her husband was awarded the peace prize for his rights campaigning in China, and calls for her release have grown louder since his death last year. "Now, I've got nothing to be afraid of. If I can't leave, I'll die in my home," Ms Liu said in a phone call to Liao Yiwu, a Chinese writer who posted the comments on the chinachange.org website. "Xiaobo is gone, and there's nothing in the world for me now. It's easier to die than live. Using death to defy could not be any simpler for me," added Ms Liu, who has never been charged or convicted for an offence. Liu Xiaobo death in hospital last year after a battle with liver cancer sent shockwaves through China's activist community and among human rights campaigners across the world. The dissident and veteran of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 was jailed in 2009 for state subversion. Liu Xia, the wife of Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, holds a photo of her husband during an interview in Beijing in 2010 Credit: Reuters His death prompted calls for Liu Xia to be allowed to leave China from politicians across the world, including Rex Tillerson, the former United States' Secretary of State, and Jean-Yves Le Drian, the French Foreign Minister. Mr Liao, who lives in exile in Germany, said he and other friends of Mrs Liu had been making preparations for her to come to Germany and receive treatment. She is reportedly suffering from a series of health problems, including severe depression. This photo taken on 2002 shows Liu Xiaobo (L) and his wife Liu Xia (R) posing for a picture in Beijing Credit: AFP Last week, German ambassador to China Michael Clauss told the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post that Ms Liu would be welcomed in his country.  Chinese state media have previously said that Ms Liu was "a free person" who just wished to be left alone, while Beijing has said that the issue is an internal affair. China has previously allowed dissidents to live abroad, but President Xi Jinping has overseen a wide-ranging crackdown on the country's rights movement since he assumed power five years ago.

How were previous US detainees in North Korea released?North Korea has a history of detaining Americans and using them as bargaining chips against the United States. President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday to "stay tuned" for news on the three Americans detained in North Korea, raising hopes for their release before a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the coming weeks.

British safari park owner attacked by lion after entering South Africa enclosure in front of tourists

British safari park owner attacked by lion after entering South Africa enclosure in front of touristsThe British owner of a wildlife sanctuary in South Africa has been severely mauled by a lion he hand-reared from a cub in an attack witnessed and filmed by his tourist clients. Michael Hodge, who is 71, was attacked as he walked into the enclosure of the Marakele Animal Sanctuary's star attraction, a male lion named Shamba. Video footage of Saturday's incident shows Mr Hodge, who moved to South Africa in 1999, walking in a relaxed manner towards the lion whilst a ranger outside the fence attempts to distract the animal.  Mr Hodge, who founded the sanctuary in South Africa's Limpopo region with his wife Chrissy and her daughter Emma in 2010, was reportedly investigating a strange smell that had been upsetting the lion. Suddenly, Mr Hodge is seen running for the gate of Shamba's enclosure before being brought down just short, his body crashing against the fence. Mike Hodge has been running the animal sanctuary in South Africa since 2010 Credit: Facebook A woman can be heard sobbing and screaming "Oh my god!" and "somebody help, please!" as the lion drags Mr Hodge away into a thicket. Mr Hodge is heard to cry out: "help me please". Shots ring out, fired by the ranger, prompting Shamba to drop the injured Mr Hodge. The lion retreated a few yards from the bush where the Briton lay, but not far enough to allow a safe rescue attempt to be made. Shamba was then killed, a family friend, Bernadette Maguire, said, before Mr Hodge was rushed to a clinic 3m away in the town of Thabazimbi. He was later airlifted to a hospital in Johannesburg. Mrs Hodge said her husband had been hurt was now recovering. "He has a broken jaw and several lacerations, but is recovering well," she said in a statement. Michael Hodge is attacked by the lion She added that the family were "devastated" over Shamba's death. The lion, born in 2008, had been hand-reared since it was a month old, with Mrs Hodge nursing it through a near-fatal dose of colic, according to friends. Shamba was one of the most popular of the dozen or so big cats housed in the sanctuary's "predator park".  Tourists could pay an extra fee to be locked into a cage on the back of a pick-up vehicle. Shamba had been trained to leap onto the cage to eat freshly slaughtered chickens hung from the bars. Tourists would then photograph Shamba from just inches away as the feathers flew. "Come and take a ride on the wild side in our purpose-built Lion Mobile," the sanctuary's website reads. "I can promise you that Shamba will jump up and look you in the eye." Mike Hodge and his wife Chrissy, who had reportedly nursed the lion who later launched the attack Previous visitors and volunteers said that Mr Hodge had long experience with lions, having hand-reared three from cubs. One, a lioness named Nina, even slept on his bed, according to Emerita Abadilla, a former volunteer. "She slept in Mike's bed, washing his face and giving him a spit-bath daily at 3am," she wrote in a blog post two years ago. Apart from lions, the sanctuary also housed at least two tigers, a species not native to South Africa.  Some visitors to the sanctuary's Facebook page criticised the manner in which Shamba was killed and the park run — but friends also came to Mr Hodge's defence, saying he had a "special bond" with the dead lion.
