| Russia tells Trump its troops will stay in Venezuela for 'as long as needed' Posted: 28 Mar 2019 12:11 PM PDT  Russia has said its troops will remain in Venezuela "for as long as needed" in a blunt rejection of Donald Trump's demand they leave immediately. In the latest indication the crisis in Venezuela is taking on elements of a proxy battle between the former Cold War rivals, a spokeswoman for Russia's foreign ministry said the troops had been dispatched to fulfil "military contracts". "They are involved in the implementation of agreements in the sphere of military and technical cooperation," said Maria Zakharova, according to the AFP, adding that the troops would stay there "for as long as needed".

| Empty Boeing 737 makes emergency landing after experiencing engine trouble Posted: 27 Mar 2019 05:35 PM PDT  Boeing's 737 Max line of aircraft is grounded indefinitely as the company and safety officials attempt to figure out why two of the popular new planes have crashed within a year of each other. But with the planes not ferrying passengers anytime soon, airlines have to store them somewhere, which means they have to be flown elsewhere in the meantime.One such transport flight is now making headlines after the pilot was forced to return to his departing airport after the plane experienced some kind of engine trouble. The emergency landing was pulled off, and the plane and its pair of pilots made it back unscathed.As CNN reports, Southwest flight 8701 was the plane in question, and it was being transported from Orlando International Airport to a storage facility in California while officials figure out when the 737 fleet can fly again. There were no passengers aboard the flight beyond its two pilots.The official reason for the emergency landing was "a performance issue with one of the engines," and the pilots noticed the plane acting strange shortly after taking off. This might be significant, since issues were reported by the pilots of the two crashed 737 MAX flights shortly after their respective takeoffs as well.The FAA is said to be investigating this latest hiccup, though at this point it's unclear whether the engine troubles of this latest flight are linked to the issues that are seemingly plaguing Boeing's popular aircraft.Earlier this week, Boeing reportedly began distributing new flight control software for the 737 MAX jets that tweaked a stabilization setting which potentially contributed to the two fatal crashes which occurred in October 2018 and March 2019. Authorities are still investigating both crashes in an attempt to learn more about the causes and determine if they are linked. At this point, it looks as though the jets will be grounded for a while.

"All Israelis should know that if a comprehensive campaign is required, we will enter it strong and safe, and after we have exhausted all of the other possibilities," Netanyahu said after visiting the Gaza frontier and meeting with Israeli commanders.

| Jury begins deliberations in Roundup trial phase 2 Posted: 27 Mar 2019 01:13 AM PDT  San Francisco (AFP) - "Monsanto knew" its weedkiller Roundup was carcinogenic yet sold it anyway, the lawyer for an American retiree said on the last day of a trial to determine the agriculture giant's culpability for his cancer. The company's attorney meanwhile denied the allegations and accused Monsanto's critics of concocting a conspiracy, as arguments drew to a close and the jury began its deliberations midday on Tuesday. The same San Francisco jury previously found that a quarter century exposure to Roundup, whose principal ingredient is controversial chemical glyphosate, was a "substantial factor" in giving 70-year-old Edwin Hardeman non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

| Five migrants arrested after Maltese special forces raid brings end to high seas hijack drama Posted: 27 Mar 2019 11:15 PM PDT  Five migrants who allegedly led the hijacking of a tanker in the Mediterranean to avoid being returned to Libya were arrested in Malta on Thursday after special forces stormed the vessel to take back control. The five men, some of whom were led off the merchant vessel in plastic handcuffs, were among 108 asylum seekers who were rescued by the El Hiblu 1 tanker north of Libya on Tuesday. The tanker was ordered by Libyan authorities to take the migrants to Tripoli, but they allegedly subjected the 12-man crew to physical threats and forced the vessel to sail north instead, towards Europe. Migrants in Libya are held in horrific conditions and are often subjected to beatings, torture and rape, according to the UN and humanitarian agencies. A migrant suspected of hijacking the ship is detained in Valletta, Malta Credit: Reuters The Maltese military intervened in the early hours of Thursday, with armed commandoes boarding the tanker in an operation that involved Maltese naval vessels and helicopters. Maltese authorities established communications with the captain of the 170ft-long oil tanker when it was about 30 nautical miles away from Malta and proceeding towards the island. "The captain repeatedly stated that he was not in control of the vessel and that he and his crew were being forced and threatened by a number of migrants to proceed to Malta," the authorities said. The tanker was escorted by navy vessels to Valletta, Malta's capital, where the five alleged ringleaders were arrested and taken away for questioning. They are likely to be charged with "illegally forcing the captain of the ship to hand over control through coercive action and changing its course," Maltese government sources said. No one was injured during the high seas drama, but the outnumbered crew said they were threatened with assault unless they followed orders. The rescued migrants consisted of 77 men, 19 women and 12 children. "We do not shirk responsibility, despite our size. We will now follow all international rules accordingly," said Joseph Muscat, Malta's prime minister. Matteo Salvini, the hardline deputy prime minister of Italy, had called the migrants "pirates" and vowed that they would not be allowed to land on Italian soil. Police buses await migrants who arrived on the 'hijacked' merchant ship Credit: DARRIN ZAMMIT LUPI/REUTERS "Immigration is managed by criminals and should be blocked by any legal means necessary," he said. Sea-Eye, a German migrant rescue NGO, said one of its vessels had overheard radio messages between a European military aircraft and the captain of the tanker. "The captain of the ship…said unequivocally on the radio that people are very upset and do not want to be brought back to Libya," Sea-Eye said. Vincent Cochetel, the UN refugee agency's special envoy for the central Mediterranean, said that the safety of merchant ship crews was as important as that of "human beings fleeing a hellish situation and not wanting to return there." A Maltese special forces soldier guards a group of migrants Credit: DARRIN ZAMMIT LUPI/REUTERS Italy's populist coalition closed its ports to rescued migrants last summer, leading to a number of stand-offs with other EU countries over boatloads of rescued migrants. There has been a sharp drop in the number of asylum seekers crossing the Mediterranean, as the EU-trained Libyan coast guard intercepts them and returns them to the Libyan coast. Humanitarian organisations said the migrants should not be characterised as criminals or "pirates" because they were trying to avoid returning to a hellish existence in Libya. "It is entirely legitimate for people found in distress at sea to reject being returned to Libya, the very place they know they will only continue to suffer the gravest of violations of their rights and the most degrading treatment," said Johannes Bayer, the chairman of Sea-Watch. Matteo Salvini, the Italian interior minister and deputy prime minister Credit: AFP EU countries such as Italy and Malta "alert the Libyan coast guard when refugees and migrants are spotted at sea so they can be taken back to Libya, despite knowing that people there are arbitrarily detained and exposed to widespread torture, rape, killings and exploitation," said Matteo de Bellis, an expert on migrants for Amnesty International. In November, dozens of migrants seized control of a container ship that had picked them up at sea, barricading themselves inside and refusing to disembark in the Libyan port of Misrata. After 10 days, Libyan authorities forcibly removed them from the ship and placed them in a detention centre.

| NASA explains why it didn’t have enough space suits for an all-female spacewalk Posted: 27 Mar 2019 04:06 PM PDT  This was supposed to be a history-making week for NASA, with the first all-female spacewalk originally planned to take place on Friday. Unfortunately, a last-second swap has led to one of the expected participants, Anne McClain, being replaced with fellow ISS inhabitant Nick Hague.NASA's explanation was that McClain wouldn't have a space suit available to her for the spacewalk due to sizing, since Christina Koch will be wearing the medium-sized suit that McClain wore during her previous spacewalk last week. This left a lot of people scratching their heads. After all, NASA says there's two of every size of space suit on board the ISS, so why can't both McClain and Koch wear the same sized suits? Speaking with CNN, NASA representatives offered a deeper explanation.The lengthy discussion reveals some of the quirks of life aboard the International Space Station, as well as some insight into how human bodies change once they are in space.While still back on Earth, McClain had trained in both the large and medium sized suits. Originally, NASA was planning on having McClain wear the larger sized suit while Koch would wear the medium rig. However, during McClain's recent spacewalk it became clear that the medium sized suit fit her body better in space, which left NASA in a bit of a pickle.NASA has two of each size of space suit on the ISS, but only one of them is fully outfitted and ready to use at any given time. The other suits, which are considered backups, can't be pulled out and used immediately, and they must be prepped for use in space.NASA's Brandi Dean explains it like this:> We do our best to anticipate the spacesuit sizes that each astronaut will need, based on the spacesuit size they wore in training on the ground, and in some cases (including Anne McClain's) astronauts train in multiple sizes. However, individuals' sizing needs may change when they are on orbit, in response to the changes living in microgravity can bring about in a body. In addition, no one training environment can fully simulate performing a spacewalk in microgravity, and an individual may find that their sizing preferences change in space.Training in various space suits on Earth can't adequately predict what suit will fit you better in space, and in this case the time crunch between the two spacewalks has forced NASA to replace McClain with Hague. It's obviously a bummer for McClain, but nobody wants to be floating around in space in a suit that doesn't fit.

| New details about Google’s upcoming mid-range Pixel model just leaked Posted: 27 Mar 2019 03:04 PM PDT  Bit by bit, we're learning new details about the long-rumored mid-range Google Pixel model that's been the subject of speculation for almost a year now.It seems that these next additions to Google's reasonably successful Pixel line, which will reportedly be called the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, will be released in black, white and "iris" color finishes (with the latter looking like a mix between blue and purple). They'll also be priced around 450 euros, or the equivalent of a little more than $500.Those details come via a new report from WinFuture, which derived its details "from European online retailers" and which offered the caveat that that price estimate is not certain as of yet and should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, for comparison, the current Pixel 3 model which of course has better internals and sports more features than the 3a will no doubt carry, currently retails for $600.The current rumored launch for this new mid-range model is sometime this spring in the US, another unconfirmed tidbit that comes via Android Police. Their reporting indicates the launch will be a Verizon exclusive.The other detail that emerged today from these new leaks about the 3a model is the color, with WinFuture not shedding too much additional light there. However, one source confirmed the purple-ish additional color to 9to5Google, which noted that it's referred to in certain documents by the "iris" moniker. We don't know, however, if it will be an option for both models, or just one of the two.The phones will apparently come with 64GB of internal storage, and a 5.6-inch OLED display on the 3a, while the 3a XL will have a 6-inch display. They're also apparently going to ship with a 12MP rear camera, 8MP front camera and USB-C ports, along with headphone jacks and the presence of Android Pie.
