A Trader Joe's shootout, an innocent death, and soul searching for LAPDA makeshift memorial outside the Silver Lake Trader Joe's, where a young woman was killed in the crossfire between a gunman and police. To shoot an innocent bystander in pursuit of a violent criminal is every police officer's nightmare. In Los Angeles, with its vexed history of police brutality, racial tension, and high-speed car chases that local television networks feast on, it elicits a special sort of horror, a throwback to an ugly not-so-distant past that the city would much rather forget.

Italian ship accused of taking migrants back to Libya for first time

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 09:05 AM PDT

Italian ship accused of taking migrants back to Libya for first timeA rescue operation in which an Italian towboat rescued more than 100 migrants and returned them to Libya earlier this week may have been in breach of international law, the United Nations said on Tuesday. A spokesman for the U.N. migration agency said it could not establish the location of the rescue, which is key to establishing migrants' rights, although some other parties involved in the case have made contradictory assertions about the incident including where it took place. The rescue coincides with a growing perception among human rights groups that some European countries are taking an increasingly hard line in their efforts to cut the number of migrants arriving on their shores, after Italy's new government closed its ports to charities' rescue boats in past weeks. According to Spanish charity Proactiva Open Arms, an Italian towboat, Asso 28, rescued more than 100 migrants from international waters on Monday and took them to Libya, their country of departure. This would constitute a breach of international law, under which people rescued in international waters cannot be returned to a place where their lives are put in danger. Both the United Nations and European Union have acknowledged that Libya is not safe. A distraught migrant woman arrives at a Libyan naval base after being rescued by the Libyan coast guard  Credit: Hani Amara/Reuters Italy's coast guard initially said on Tuesday that the rescue was coordinated by the Libyan coast guard, and later clarified that the operation had taken place in Libya's so-called "search and rescue (SAR)" area. The Libyan coast guard was not immediately available for a comment. Libya's SAR is not clearly defined but is widely understood to extend far beyond its national waters. Proactiva spokeswoman Laura Lanuza said its members learnt the rescue occurred in international waters because their boat Open Arms was nearby and they could listen to radio communications between the Italian ship and the Libyan authorities. The U.N. refugee agency said the operation "could represent a violation of international law," it said on Twitter. A spokesman for the U.N. migration agency said the agency was still investigating the case but confirmed the return of the migrants to Libya. Italy's Interior Minister and deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini  Credit: VASILY MAXIMOV/AFP He said the Libyans first told him the rescue operation was carried out by "an unknown vessel", then changed their version and said the rescuing boat was Libyan. The head of mission at Open Arms, Fabrizio Gatti, contradicted the Libyan version and said a member of the Asso 28 crew told him over the phone the Italian boat carried out the rescue and was taking the migrants back to Libya. He said he had a record of the conversation. Asso 28 is now docked in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, according to Marine Traffic, a real-time information service on ships movements. Charities are at loggerheads with the new Italian government and its right wing home affairs minister Matteo Salvini who has adopted a hard line to cut the number of migrants arriving on Italy's shores.

Apple earnings beat expectations with share prices rising in extended trading

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 02:17 PM PDT

Apple earnings beat expectations with share prices rising in extended tradingShares of Apple have jumped after the company posted quarterly results that beat out Wall Street targets while forecasting revenue above expectations in the current quarter. The immediate spike in shares was not enough, however, to make Apple the first company to be valued at one trillion, but the company has come very close to that moniker and continued growth in future quarters could potentially push it over that line. Apple's postings showed that the average iPhone sold cost $724 (£552), far outweighing previous expectations that the average price would come in at $694, according to the data providing service FactSet.

Two Koreas hold military talks as U.S. detects activity at North Korea missile factory

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 11:33 PM PDT

Two Koreas hold military talks as U.S. detects activity at North Korea missile factoryBy Hyonhee Shin and Joyce Lee SEOUL (Reuters) - North and South Korea held military talks to build trust on Tuesday, while the United States detected renewed activity at a North Korean missile factory, casting more suspicion over the North's intentions. The meeting, their second since June, held in the border village of Panmunjom in the demilitarized zone (DMZ), was designed to follow on from an inter-Korean summit in April at which leaders of the two Koreas agreed to defuse tensions and halt "all hostile acts." North Korean leader Kim Jong Un also vowed during his separate summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Singapore last month to work toward denuclearization, but there has not been a concrete agreement to accomplish that goal.
