Deadly aftershock, volcanic ash spread alarm in MexicoBy Michael O'Boyle and Noe Torres MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A magnitude 6.2 aftershock that shook Mexico on Saturday was blamed for five deaths, spreading fear among anxious residents reeling from a string of natural disasters and interrupting the search for survivors from a bigger tremor earlier this week. The Popocatepetl volcano south of Mexico City sent a column of ash into the sky, capping an intense period of seismic activity including two powerful tremors this month that have killed more than 400 people and caused damage of up to $8 billion.

The U.S. Navy's Nuclear Submarines Could Be Made Obsolete

Posted: 25 Sep 2017 12:05 PM PDT

The U.S. Navy's Nuclear Submarines Could Be Made ObsoleteOn a more human level, it would be interesting to go back in time to World Wars I and II, where a constant refrain of the sailors and airmen who hunted subs was the sheer tedium of the search. Hour after hour after hour of scanning the oceans, in the hope that a needle in the haystack would reveal itself as a sonar contact or a tiny periscope peeking above the surface. If nothing else, farming out sub-hunting to the robots will make chasing subs a bit less dull.

North Korea 'blows up US aircraft carrier and jets' in new propaganda videoNorth Korean state media has released a new video depicting the destruction of US aircraft and warships and warning that any attack on the North will see US forces "head to the grave". The 99-second clip was released on Sunday by the DPRK Today news site, just hours after two US Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers flew off the coast of North Korea in a show of force. Accompanied by US fighters based in Okinawa, the bombers flew further north of the Demilitarised Zone that divides the Korean Peninsula than any US military aircraft in the 21st century, according to the Pentagon. A screenshot of the North Korean video showing the US carrier being blown up  The North Korean propaganda video begins with pictures of President Donald Trump, describing him as a "mad man". It goes on to show a series of Pukguksong missiles being fired from mobile launch vehicles before an F-35 Raptor fighter and a nuclear-capable Lancer bomber are destroyed by computer-generated explosions. The footage goes on to show a missile being fired from a submerged submarine before striking the USS Carl Vinson. The 103,000-tonne aircraft carrier is the flagship of Carrier Strike Croup 1 and conducted drills with another nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, off North Korea in June. North Korean missile ranges It has also carried out exercises, utilising its 90 fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, with Korean navy units. The footage shows USS Carl Vinson engulfed in flames after the missile strike, with subtitles stating, "Should F-35, B-1B or the Carl Vinson lead the US attack, they will head to the grave in that order".

Weakened Merkel wins fourth term, hit by nationalist 'earthquake'Chancellor Angela Merkel clinched a fourth term in Germany's election Sunday, but her victory was clouded by the entry into parliament of the hard-right AfD in the best showing for a nationalist force since World War II.

Its nearest rivals, the Social Democrats and their candidate Martin Schulz, came in a distant second, with a post-war record low of 21 percent.

Polish president unveils court reform in democratic litmus test

Posted: 24 Sep 2017 03:07 PM PDT

Polish president unveils court reform in democratic litmus testBy Pawel Sobczak WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish President Andrzej Duda unveiled proposals on Monday for judiciary reform that is viewed by the European Union and critics of the government as a crucial gauge of Warsaw's adherence to rule-of-law standards. Duda, an ally of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, unexpectedly vetoed its overhaul of the judiciary in July after the proposals triggered nationwide protests and raised EU and U.S. concerns about a politicization of the courts. The eurosceptic PiS says reform of the judicial system is needed because the courts are slow, inefficient and steeped in a communist-era mentality, but critics of the plans say the new rules are part of a bigger drive toward authoritarianism.

Eurofighter pilot attempting loop-the-loop in front of his parents and girlfriend dies after crashing into seaThis is the terrible moment that a fighter pilot lost his life after crashing his Eurofighter into the sea during an air show off the coast of Italy. Capt Gabriele Orlandi, 36, was attempting to perform a loop-the-loop in his 85million euro Eurofighter Typhoon when he apparently misjudged the manoeuvre and smashed into the water, a few hundred yards from the coast. The Italian air force pilot was performing the stunt in front of a large crowd that included his girlfriend and his parents at the air show in Terracina, south of Rome. The Eurofighter was executing a spectacular loop-the-loop when it crashed into the sea Credit: NurPhoto His girlfriend had to be taken to hospital and treated for severe shock. Capt Orlandi died on impact and his body was recovered by navy divers. He had more than a decade's experience as a pilot and had trained in the United States with American Top Gun flyers. The pilot died on impact Credit: NurPhoto The air show was immediately suspended after the accident and  two investigations were opened, one by the air force and another by civilian magistrates in the nearby town of Latina. "A day of joy turned into a day of great sadness," said General Enzo Vecciarelli, a senior air force commander. "Our deepest condolences go to the relatives of Capt Orlandi."

Police arrest and remove protestors with disabilities at Senate Graham-Cassidy hearing

Posted: 25 Sep 2017 01:57 PM PDT

Police arrest and remove protestors with disabilities at Senate Graham-Cassidy hearingHow do we say this nicely, Senator Cassidy and Senator Graham: everyone hates your dumb healthcare bill.  Well, at least a solid majority of Americans do, and pretty much everyone who came to watch the Graham-Cassidy hearing Monday afternoon. Activists from the grassroots disability rights group ADAPT disrupted the hearing multiple times, causing Senator Hatch to briefly recess the hearing and prompting Capitol Police to arrest protestors, some of them in wheelchairs. Their protest centered around the large concern that passage of the bill would severely deplete medicaid funding. But many other worries exist about how the bill would not include essential health benefits, cause millions to lose their insurance, and shrink the Obamacare protections for people with preexisting conditions. The footage of police forcibly removing the ADAPT protesters is both inspiring and predictably heartbreaking. SEE ALSO: Hurricane Maria plunged Puerto Rico into a humanitarian crisis, and help has barely arrived Here is Senator Hatch ordering that the hearing be recessed as protestors in wheelchairs are pulled away by authorities: And Senator Cassidy responding with his characteristic charisma, aka a zombie-like yawn: Under Graham-Cassidy, at least 1.4 million adults with disabilities would lose Medicaid, per the Center for American Progress. Depending on how deep the cuts go (and what version of the bill we're looking at) that number could easily climb to 1.8 million.  A protestors looks on as other demonstrators are taken out.Image: tom williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc.With fewer services, advocates fear that folks with disabilities could be forced back into institutions and otherwise pushed out of the workforce. Organizers estimated that the number of arrests today would hover around 100.

In June, 43 demonstrators assembled by the organization were arrested outside of McConnell's office to protest cuts to Medicaid.  Senators McCain, Paul, Collins, and Murkowski have all expressed either opposition or extreme reservations about the bill, which was supposed to be scheduled for a vote sometime this week.
