Posted: 11 Apr 2018 07:20 AM PDT

Algeria plane crash: More than 250 killed in military jet disasterThe number of people believed to have died in an Algerian military plane crash on Wednesday has risen to 257, according to state TV. The military transport plane crashed into a field shortly after take off at Boufarik airport, southwest of Algiers. Television footage showed crowds gathering around the smoking and flaming wreckage near Boufarik airport southwest of Algiers. A line of white body bags could be seen on the ground next to what media said was a Russian Ilyushin transport plane. A total of 257 people died in the crash, state TV reported. A member of Algeria's ruling FLN party told the private Ennahar TV station the dead included 26 members of Polisario, an Algerian-backed group fighting for the independence of neighbouring Western Sahara – a territory also claimed by Morocco in a long-running dispute.

The jet came down close to the capital of Algiers Tindouf is home to thousands of refugees from the Western Sahara standoff, many of them Polisario supporters.

Turkey flies 3 suspected Gulenists from Gabon in covert swoopThe Turkish spy agency has flown three suspected members of the movement blamed for the 2016 failed coup back to Turkey from the African state of Gabon in a covert operation, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday. As part of a secret mission carried out by the National Intelligence Organisation (MIT), the men were brought back to Turkey on a private plane from Libreville, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported. The suspects are accused of belonging to the group of US-based preacher Fethullah Gulen who Ankara accuses of orchestrating the bloody July 15 coup bid two years ago, aimed at unseating Erdogan.

'Why wait, leave today.' Newsroom reacts to Paul Ryan's announcement that he will not seek reelection"For once I applaud a decision by Paul Ryan!" "He knows the jig is up, and he wants to leave fresh and clean." House Speaker Paul Ryan announced on Wednesday that he'll be leaving Congress, and Newsroom readers have some strong feelings about his decision. At a GOP meeting in the Capitol, Ryan revealed he won't be seeking reelection in November. He plans to leave his position at the end of his term in January. "I did not seek this job. I took it reluctantly. But I have given this job everything that I have," he said. "To be clear, I am not resigning. I intend to serve my full term as I was elected to do." Newsroom comments have poured in, with a majority supporting his resignation: "One more step in the right direction." Another reader wrote, "With Ryan gone maybe Social Security is safe." After nearly 20 years in the House, Ryan said he wanted to spend more time with his family. President Trump tweeted: "Speaker Paul Ryan is a truly good man, and while he will not be seeking re-election, he will leave a legacy of achievement that nobody can question. We are with you Paul!" Who will replace Ryan? House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is a possible choice. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana is also said to be in the running. What do you think of Ryan's decision to retire? Join the conversation in Newsroom.

US prosecutors request to detail 'El Chapo' alleged brutal crimes in court

Posted: 10 Apr 2018 05:27 PM PDT

US prosecutors request to detail 'El Chapo' alleged brutal crimes in courtWhen Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman learned in 2006 his men had captured two suspected members of the rival Las Zetas cartel, he first wanted to have lunch. Next the now jailed El Chapo -- then one of the world's most powerful drug traffickers -- ordered the men beaten and killed with bullets to the head, before their bodies were thrown in a hole and ignited. The chilling incident is among the violent crimes allegedly carried out by Guzman included in a more than 90-page long memo filed Tuesday in a Brooklyn federal court, where he is slated to go on trial September 5.


Yulia Skripal, poisoned spy's daughter, released from hospital to secure location as Russians accuse Britain of 'abduction'

Posted: 10 Apr 2018 07:30 AM PDT

Yulia Skripal, poisoned spy's daughter, released from hospital to secure location as Russians accuse Britain of 'abduction'The daughter of the Russian spy poisoned in Salisbury has been transferred to a secret, secure location after being released from hospital, leading to accusations from the country's embassy she had been abducted. Yulia Skripal was discharged more than five weeks after being left critically ill by exposure to a nerve agent in an attempted assassination blamed on the Russian state. Doctors said she and her father, 66, had responded "exceptionally well" to treatment and he too was expected to be discharged in the future. The pair had been widely expected to die after they were exposed to a rare nerve agent the British government says came from the Russian military's novichok chemical weapons programme. Theresa May has said it is "highly likely" Russia was behind the attack on Mr Skripal, a former Russian intelligence officer released to the UK in a 2010 spy swap after he was jailed for spying for the British. Russian spy poisoning | Read more The Russian embassy in London congratulated Ms Skripal on her recovery, but said it needed "urgent proof that what is being done to her is done on her own free will". It went on to say the "secret resettlement of Mr and Ms Skripal, barred from any contact with their family will be seen as an abduction or at least as their forced isolation". Russia has denied any involvement in the attack and criticised the British investigation for a lack of transparency, but the Government has said the Kremlin is trying to hide its guilt with a blizzard of conspiracy theories. Moscow has sought consular access to Ms Skripal, but the Foreign Office has said it is up to her if she wants to meet Russian officials. She is expected to be kept under tight security while she continues to recover. Sources said it was too early to speculate on whether she will need lifetime protection. Any ongoing protection will fall to the police. Under the police witness protection programme, called the UK's Protected Persons Service, she could be given a new identity and relocated. The National Crime Agency, which runs the service, declined to comment. Secret resettlement of Mr and Ms Skripal, barred from any contact with their family will be seen as an abduction or at least as their forced isolation.https://t.co/UuTxgZGKigpic.twitter.com/Ow3d61T3ni— Russian Embassy, UK (@RussianEmbassy) April 10, 2018 Doctors at Salisbury district hospital gave the first indication of how they had managed to save the Skripals and a police detective, DS Nick Bailey, who was poisoned as he investigated. Dr Christine Blanshard, medical director, said they had been given round the clock care, with doctors drawing on advice from experts around the world. The poison had attacked its victims' nervous systems leaving symptoms including hallucinations and sickness. Dr Blanshard said: "Our job in treating the patients has been to stabilise them - ensuring that the patients could breathe and that blood could continue to circulate. We then needed to use a variety of different drugs to support the patients until they could create more enzymes to replace those affected by the poisoning. "We also used specialised decontamination techniques to remove any residual toxins. "Both patients have responded exceptionally well to the treatment we've been providing. But equally, both patients are at different stages in their recovery." She said Ms Skripal would need more treatment, but her release from hospital was a significant milestone. Sergei Skripal, a former officer with the GRU military intelligence service, was taken off the critical list on Friday and is said to be making good progress. Dr Blanshard said: "Although he is recovering more slowly than Yulia, we hope that he too will be able to leave hospital in due course."  


Oklahoma's striking teachers seek more funds, Republicans say they are done

Oklahoma's striking teachers seek more funds, Republicans say they are doneA strike by Oklahoma educators demanding more school funding extended to a 10th day on Wednesday, as the state's Republican leaders warned they planned no further increases after approving $450 million in new revenue to boost teacher pay. Schools in the state's largest metro areas serving hundreds of thousands of students remained closed the day after Republican Governor Mary Fallin signed into law two bills that raised taxes but fell short of the teachers' demand for $150 million above what had already been approved. "The governor and lawmakers keep closing the door on revenue options when Oklahomans are asking for a better path forward," said Alicia Priest, president of the Oklahoma Education Association, the state's largest union for teachers, with about 40,000 members.

'Get ready Russia' - Donald Trump tells Putin and Assad to expect missile attack as he says relations now worse than during Cold War

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 05:34 AM PDT

'Get ready Russia' - Donald Trump tells Putin and Assad to expect missile attack as he says relations now worse than during Cold WarTrump warns missiles 'will be coming' after threats from Russia to shoot them down Russia accuses US of planning to destroy evidence of chemical attack Syria and allies 'emptying' military bases as they prepare for missiles Civilian airliners warned to be cautious above the eastern Mediterranean Opinion:  It's make or break time for Britain: We must show America that we're still its closest ally Donald Trump has told Russia and Syria to "get ready" for a missile attack on the Assad regime, saying the bombs will be "nice and new and smart". Mr Trump tweeted an extraordinary response to Russia's claim that it would shoot down any missiles fired at Syria following the chemical weapons attack on Douma. The US President added: "You shouldn't be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!" Mr Trump described the relationship between the US and Russia as "worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War" but insisted there was "no reason for this". Earlier, Alexander Zasypkin, the Russian envoy to Beirut, said: "If there is an American strike, then we... will shoot down the missiles and target the positions from where they were launched. "In the past few days, we have seen an escalation towards a significant crisis." Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and "smart!" You shouldn't be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 11, 2018 Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War. There is no reason for this. Russia needs us to help with their economy, something that would be very easy to do, and we need all nations to work together. Stop the arms race?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 11, 2018 Mr Zasypkin's comments, made in an interview with a Hizbollah-affiliated television channel,  are the sternest Russian warning yet against American strikes. They go beyond previous threats that Russian troops would use their missile defence systems to shield the Assad regime.  Mr Trump's tweets increase the pressure on Theresa May, the Prime Minister, to give her unequivocal backing to air strikes against targets in Syria, having said on Tuesday that she and Mr Trump would not "allow the use of chemical weapons to continue". Russia responds to 'provocation' On Wednesday, after Mr Trump's tweets, Moscow also suggested US plans to strike could be a pretext to destroy evidence of the alleged chemical weapons attack, which Russia has said was a staged "provocation" to justify Western intervention. "Is the whole idea to quickly remove the traces of the provocation...(so) the international inspectors will have nothing to look for in terms of evidence?" asked foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in a Facebook post. The Kremlin later added that it did not engage in "Twitter diplomacy", the Interfax news agency reported. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying that care should be taken not to aggravate the situation in Syria. "We do not participate in Twitter diplomacy," he was quoted as saying. "We support serious approaches. We continue to believe that it is important not to take steps that could harm an already fragile situation." Syria  described Mr Trump's threats as a "reckless escalation". "We are not surprised by such a reckless escalation from a regime like the United States which has fostered and continues to foster terrorism in Syria," an official source at the foreign ministry said. Earlier in the day Eurocontrol, the pan-European air traffic control agency, warned civilian airliners to be cautious above the eastern Mediterranean because of the possibility of strikes in the next 72 hours.  The agency warned that both missiles launched from aircraft or from naval forces might be launched before the end of the week.  "Due to the possible launch of air strikes into Syria with air-to-ground and/or cruise missiles within the next 72 hours, and the possibility of intermittent disruption of radio navigation equipment, due consideration needs to be taken when planning flight operations in the Eastern Mediterranean," the agency said in a statement.  The US has two Navy destroyers capable of firing a barrage of cruise missiles in the eastern Mediterranean already. An American naval strike group, led by the aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman, is moving towards the area. Evidence mounts of chemical attack The World Health Organisation said that 500 people were treated in last weekend's suspected chemical weapons attack in Douma and demanded access to the site.  The global health agency said it estimated 500 were brought to hospital with "signs and symptoms consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals". "WHO demands immediate unhindered access to the area to provide care to those affected, to assess the health impacts, and to deliver a comprehensive public health response," said Peter Salama, the deputy director-general for emergency preparedness and response. The Syrian regime has so far prevented UN agencies from visiting the site of the alleged attack, although Russian military inspectors have been allowed access.  Syria 'emptying' out military bases As Mr Trump made his public threats on Twitter, Syrian opposition activists reported that regime forces and their allies were emptying bases and moving military equipment in an effort to shield it from expected US strikes.  Opposition groups said that Syrian regime was shifting military vehicles away from its airbase in Hama, a potential target for American cruise missiles.  Activists also said that Hizbollah, the Lebanese militant group supporting the Assad regime, was emptying out its military base near the T4 airbase in central Syria. Israeli jets reportedly struck the T4 base on Sunday night, killing 14 people, including seven Iranians.  Michael Horowitz, a senior analyst at the Le Beck geopolitical consultancy, said that the regime would probably move its most sensitive equipment close to Russian forces, in the hope that the US would be less likely to hit it and risk accidentally striking Russian troops.  Answering some questions about flights in #Syria and the EASA rapid alert notification published by Eurocontrol regarding the 'Eastern Mediterranean / Nicosia FIR'. https://t.co/YXJPpd6yONpic.twitter.com/2XFt6qb9Ll— Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) April 11, 2018 "The Syrian military has already had time to take some contingency measures and evacuate some of the potential targets Washington could decide to strike, which could limit the impact of any possible American intervention," he said.  "The Syrian air force in particular will likely redeploy to Russian or Russian-protected air base, in a bid to limit its exposure."  Syrian regime aircraft could be moved to Khmeimim, the main Russian base in northwest Syria, or else clustered around known Russian positions inside of Syrian regime bases.  Syrian regime aircraft were largely absent from the skies of Syria on Wednesday, with only Russian warplanes in the air. Mr Horowitz said that was an indication of a change in behaviour by regime forces in anticipation of US strikes. May gives backing to Trump Meanwhile, Theresa May has given her strongest signal yet that Britain would support President Donald Trump in military action against the Syrian regime as the two leaders resolved "not to allow the use of chemical weapons to continue".  Douma chemical attack The Prime Minister spoke to both Mr Trump and the French President Emmanuel Macron by telephone during which all three agreed that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had shown "total disregard" for international laws against the use of such weapons. A Trump official upped the diplomatic tension by describing the chemical attack on Douma, Syria, as "genocide" and saying a military response was "appropriate". Mr Macron said the three countries would decide "within days" how to respond and discussed the possibility of hitting Syria's "chemical capacities". Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said: "All options are on the table." Russia wields UN veto It came as Russia used its veto power at the UN Security Council on Tuesday evening against a US resolution to create new expert body to determine responsibility for Syria chemical weapons attacks, a move expected to increase the likelihood of US military intervention. Russia urged the US to avoid taking military action, warning Washington that it will "bear responsibility" for any "illegal military adventure" it carries out. Russian UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said Washington's decision to put forward its resolution could be a prelude to a Western strike on Syria. "I would once again ask you, once again beseech you, to refrain from the plans that you're currently developing for Syria," he said after the council failed to approve a third draft resolution on chemical weapons attacks in Syria. President's options | What could military action in Syria look like? He added: "If you took the decision to carry out an illegal military adventure, and we do hope that you will come to your senses, well then you will have to bear responsibility for it." Whitehall sources suggest Mrs May would prefer to have the backing of Parliament in any decision to join a military response against Syria, but with both Mr Trump and Mr Macron eager to strike swiftly, that option is unlikely to be open to the Prime Minister. Syria chemical attack | Read more The Telegraph has learnt that no plans have been put in place to recall MPs before Monday, when they will return after the Easter recess, suggesting Mrs May has resigned herself to taking the decision in conjunction with her Cabinet, rather than seeking the support of the Commons. Downing Street issued a more cautious statement than the White House, in which Number 10 said that the chemical attack "if confirmed" would represent fresh evidence of Assad's "appalling cruelty".
