Posted: 09 Aug 2017 10:23 AM PDT

DC Metro sued after rejecting an advertisement reprinting the First AmendmentA leading civil rights group in the United States is suing Washington, DC's public transportation company after the organisation rejected advertisements featuring the First Amendment — the portion of the US Constitution that establishes freedom of speech in America. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit after the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) deemed its ad featuring the text of the First Amendment in three languages to be "controversial". "This case highlights the consequences of the government's attempt to suppress all controversial speech on public transit property," Arthur Spitzer, the legal director for the ACLU in Washington, said in a press release.

Trump's 'fire and fury' North Korea remark surprised aides: officialsBy John Walcott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's vow to respond with "fire and fury" if North Korea persisted in threatening the United States caught his foreign policy and military aides by surprise, two administration officials with direct knowledge of how the issue unfolded said on Wednesday. "President Trump's comment was unplanned and spontaneous," said a senior administration official who deals with the Korea issue and who requested anonymity.

#AintNoCinderella: Woman who sparked viral twitter campaign by Indian women 'vindicated' after two men arrested 

Posted: 10 Aug 2017 01:37 AM PDT

#AintNoCinderella: Woman who sparked viral twitter campaign by Indian women 'vindicated' after two men arrested A young woman at the centre of a high profile stalking case that has gripped India for days has spoken of her surprise at becoming a rallying call for women's rights across the South Asian nation of 1.3 billion.   Varnika Kundu, a 29-year-old DJ, told the Telegraph that she felt "vindicated" after two men were arrested and charged on Wednesday with attempting to kidnap her when they chased her car late on Friday night through the northern Indian city of Chandigarh. The arrests followed an impromptu "AintNoCinderella" Twitter campaign of Indian women posting defiant pictures of themselves out after midnight after a senior male politician suggested Ms Kundu was at fault for being "out so late in the night." In a Facebook post that quickly went viral, Ms Kundu described a terrifying ordeal where the perpetrators drove parallel to her car for 25 minutes and then blocked her car before "aggressively" trying to enter her vehicle. Indian woman victim-blamed after being stalked is defended by Twitter users 01:28 She said they enjoyed her distress, and felt lucky that she was "not lying raped and murdered in a ditch somewhere." In an interview, Ms Kundu said her story had struck a chord with many Indian women who had told her of similar experiences. Their support had helped her through attempts to sully her character for driving alone at night. "It's been overwhelming," she said. "I think Indian women are just so sick and tired of being treated like second class citizens, of just being told because you were born different you're not good enough, you can't do the same things that a boy can do."

The case shocked India to the core, but the victim was also criticised for going to the cinema in the  evening with a male friend.  The defence lawyer for her attackers claimed that if his own daughter "allowed herself to lose face and character" that he would "set her alight."

"Why was she allowed to roam around at night? Parents should not allow their children to stay out late … what is the point of roaming around at night?" he said.

She said she was grateful through her ordeal to have been given a platform to challenge deep-seated patriarchal attitudes in modern Indian society.   "I've said things that all Indian women have always wanted to say. Basic questions like why does the victim have to answer?" she said.

Guam defends Trump's fiery words over North Korea nuclear threat as it finds itself in middle of global crisis

Posted: 10 Aug 2017 03:04 PM PDT

Guam defends Trump's fiery words over North Korea nuclear threat as it finds itself in middle of global crisisThe Governor of Guam, the US territory threatened with attack by North Korea, has backed Donald Trump's fiery rhetoric toward the nuclear-armed nation, saying that a President who whole-heartedly embraces forceful retaliation over attacks on US territory is "what I want". Days of escalating rhetoric between the Trump administration and the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have alarmed Asian allies - and placed the Pacific island in the middle of a global political crisis - after Mr Trump made clear that any further action from Pyongyang over its banned missile and nuclear programmes will be "met with fire and fury". It is not the first time North Korea has threatened Guam, a small United States territory that hosts a US military outpost.

AP Explains: 70 years of India-Pakistan tensions unresolvedNEW DELHI (AP) — When the British ended two centuries of colonial rule on the Indian subcontinent in August 1947, they left a jigsaw legacy — the vast country of India flanked on either side by a newly created Pakistan split in two parts. Excitement over independence was quickly overshadowed by some of the worst bloodletting the world has ever seen, leaving up to 1 million people dead as gangs of Hindus and Muslims slaughtered each other.


The Great American Eclipse - when is it, where is it , and how to watch it 

Posted: 08 Aug 2017 05:46 PM PDT

The Great American Eclipse - when is it, where is it , and how to watch it On Monday, August 21 the sun, moon and Earth will line up in an act of cosmic serendipity that will turn day across the 2,680-mile width of the United States. It will be the first time that has happened in nearly a century, and never will a total solar eclipse be so heavily viewed and studied. From Oregon in the west, to South Carolina in the east, there will be festivals and flamboyant eclipse viewing parties. And of course, traffic gridlock, an social media explosion, and general chaos As one astronomer put it: "This will be the most photographed, most shared, most tweeted event in human history." How unusual an event is this? Full solar eclipses, when the moon positions itself smack between the sun and the Earth, happen every few years but often in remote areas or over the ocean. This will be the first total solar eclipse in 99 years to cross the US coast-to-coast, and the first to pass through any part of the lower 48 states in 38 years. An illustration from Nasa Credit: AFP Where is it happening? The path of totality - where the light of the sun is completely blocked out by the moon - is 70 miles wide and stretches from Lincoln City, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina, passing through 14 states and 21 National Parks The total eclipse will last about 90 minutes as the lunar shadow sweeps across America at more than 1,500 mph beginning about 10.15 am west coast time. On the east coast it will end at 2.49 pm east coast time. Eclipse Fests, StarFests, SolarFests, SolFests, Darkening of the SunFests, MoonshadowFests, EclipseCons, Eclipse Encounters and Star Parties are planned along the path of totality. Vineyards, breweries, museums, parks, universities, stadiums, just about everybody is getting into the act. Schoolchildren wearing protective glasses Credit: Reuters What if you're not in the US? Don't worry, Nasa will be broadcasting the whole thing on the internet and TV. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station will beam back pictures, as will ships and planes and high altitude balloons. "This is a really amazing chance to just open the public's eyes to wonder," said physicist Angela Des Jardins, who is in charge of Nasa' eclipse video ballooning project. Eclipses mean chaos Will there be chaos? Undoubtedly. An estimated 200 million people live within a day's drive of the path of totality and huge crowds are expected. The lightly populated state of Oregon is expecting up to one million eclipse chasers and is treating the event as an emergency. Police everywhere are asking people to be patient. Even stuck in a traffic jam the sight should be wonderful. An eclipse in Beijing in 2010 Credit: Getty Rain means pain... Above all, eclipse viewing is dependent on clear skies, and the best advice is to find somewhere high and dry. Experienced eclipse watchers say the best bet is to avoid both coasts, where rain is more likely. States like Wyoming and Idaho could fare better. Ideally, the best option is to be somewhere remote with access to a fast car and clear roads in case a cloud settles overhead. The  Astronomical League for amateur astronomers, who know a thing or two, are heading for Casper, Wyoming. Majestic solar eclipse lights up Southern Hemisphere 00:31 How long will totality last? It varies in different places, Darkness will last just under two minutes in Oregon, gradually expanding to a maximum two minutes and 44 seconds in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois, and into Kentucky, then dwindling to two-and-a-half minutes in South Carolina.  Will there also be a partial eclipse? The partial eclipse will extend up through Canada and down through Central America and the top of South America. Minneapolis will see 86 per cent of the sun covered, Miami 82 per cent, Montreal 66 per cent, and Mexico City sees 38 per cent. NASA satellite witnesses a rare double eclipse 00:36 Are protective eclipse glasses necessary? Absolutely. The only time you can look at the eclipse is during totality. Experts say at any point when the eclipse is partial, even if only a sliver of the sun is visible, it would burn the back of your eyes to look at it. "Unfortunately, I think it is probably true that during every solar eclipse, there's bound to be somebody who does get hurt," said Ralph Chou, an optometry professor and leading authority on eye damage from eclipse viewing. Timelapse Shows Total Solar Eclipse Over Indonesia 02:03 How about watching from a plane South West Airlines has worked out that the eclipse will be visible from a handful of its scheduled flights, taking off from dEnver, Seattle and Portland. They'll be serving "cosmic cocktails" to the lucky passengers. Is there a Trump link to the eclipse? The Boston Globe newspaper made a valiant attempt to link the eclipse to Donald Trump, noting that 92 per cent of the 240 counties in the path of totality voted for the president in last year's election. However, the internet appeared to decide that this was a Trump link too far. Leave it to the Globe to make a solar eclipse political. (BTW Globe, the sun and moon don't care who's president!)— Gary Black (@GaryBlackal) August 4, 2017 ignoring politics for a sec and focusing only on eclipse mechanics.....isn't it trump supporters who get the shadehttps://t.co/uEbdxs1RbV— Sarah Holder (@ptsarahdactyl) August 6, 2017 What do the experts say about eclipses? Nasa guru Bill Cooke says: "It is the most weird, creepy, awe-inspiring astronomical event you will experience." Rick Fienberg, spokesman for the American Astronomical Society: "Going through life without ever experiencing totality is like going through life without ever falling in love." When's the next one in the US? April 8, 2024. It might be even better with four minutes totality.

Kenya election chief rejects opposition's hacking claims as protests eruptBy Humphrey Malalo and Rajiv Golla NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's election commission dismissed claims on Wednesday by opposition leader Raila Odinga that its systems and website had been hacked to produce a "fictitious" lead for Odinga's long-time rival President Uhuru Kenyatta. Angry protests erupted in opposition strongholds in the capital Nairobi and the western city of Kisumu as the counting of votes from Tuesday's election continued, but the election commission said the election had been free and fair. As of 1900 GMT, provisional results from the election commission website put Kenyatta in front with 54.3 percent of votes counted to 44.8 percent for Odinga - a margin of 1.4 million ballots with 97 percent of polling stations reported.

Iran arrests six for dancing Zumba

Posted: 10 Aug 2017 06:01 AM PDT

Iran arrests six for dancing ZumbaIran has arrested six people for teaching Zumba classes to children, accusing them of trying to "change lifestyles" in the Islamic Republic. The group of four men and two women were charged over their dancing and for not adhering to the country's strict hijab dress code. "The members of a network teaching and filming Western dances have been identified and arrested," said Hamid Damghani, an official with the Revolutionary Guards.  He said the Latin American fitness classes had been mixed and videos of their practices were published on social media.  "They were arrested by the Guards' intelligence forces while teaching and creating video clips... as they sought to change lifestyles and promote a lack of hijab," Mr Damghani said.  Iranian chess players Mitra Hejazipour (L) and Sara Khademalsharieh play at the Chess Federation in the capital Tehran on October 10, 2016.  Credit: AFP They were charged with dancing and failing to wear proper hijab - Islamic regulations that require women to wear headscarves and ban revealing clothing in public. Dancing is banned in Iran for women in front of men outside their immediate families, but in recent years Zumba and other dances have been banned even in women-only gyms, even if the rules are widely flouted. In June this year, the country's sporting federation said the exercise included "rhythmic motions and dance and are unlawful in any shape and title". "The promotion and teaching of dancing in the name of sport in women's gyms is a serious issue," Mr Damghani added. One gym manager told the Iranian daily newspaper Aftab-e Yazd that he would continue to teach Zumba but call it something else. "We need to have these classes. We have been teaching Zumba for 12-13 years and if they ban it, we will continue our class under a different name," he said. In 2014, seven young Iranians were arrested for dancing to Pharrell Williams's hit "Happy" in a home-made video that went viral on the internet. They were given suspended jail and lashing sentences.

Trump thanks Russia's Putin for slashing U.S. diplomatic staffBy Warren Strobel and Jonathan Landay WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for ordering the United States to slash its diplomatic staff in Russia, remarks likely to rekindle criticism of Trump's kid-gloves handling of Putin. Breaking nearly two weeks of silence on Putin's July 30 order cutting U.S. embassy and consulate staff by nearly two thirds, Trump said: "I'm very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll." Trump said "there's no real reason for them to go back" and "we're going to save a lot of money," in response to Putin's Cold War-style move, differing from the reactions of other presidents in similar circumstances in the past.
