Nearly a dozen civilians, including two children, have been killed and several others injured when Saudi military aircraft mounted a raft of fresh airstrikes on various residential areas in crisis-plagued Yemen. A civilian, identified as Abdullah al-Sharif, lost his life along his two children as Saudi fighters struck their house in the al-Matammah district of the northern Yemeni province of al-Jawf on Friday afternoon, Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported. Saudi warplanes also pounded an outdoor market in the province's Khabb wa ash Sha'af district, leaving at least two people dead and nine others injured. Local sources said the number of casualties would further rise due to the extent of the damage caused. Elsewhere in Yemen’s western coastal province of Hudaydah, four people were killed and a number of others injured when Saudi jets hit al-Khawkhah district. Furthermore, Saudi warplanes targeted a vehicle traveli

David Anderson QC's report means Theresa May can move ahead with her controversial data legislation, but she faces potential opposition in the Lords Powers that allow spy agencies to harvest bulk data were today given the go-ahead by the UK's terror-law watchdog. In David Anderson QC's report, published this morning, he said there was a "proven operational case" for most of the controversial methods of data collection. Prime Minister Theresa May welcomed the findings claiming it showed how the powers, which she is currently trying to cement in legislation, are of "crucial importance" to MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. But critics raised concerns over whether the Government would follow all of the report's recommendations, and raised the prospect of blocking them in the House of Lords if they are not happy. Mr Anderson was asked earlier this year to evaluate the case for the tactics, which are included in the landmark Investigat

... and its utilisation for the justification of political failure globinfo freexchange In 1967, a strange and brilliant man came to London from America. He was called George Price. By chance, in a library, Price discovered a scientific paper written by Bill Hamilton. It was full of equations that show that human goodness and altruism were really survival strategies devised by our genes. It had been ignored by the scientific establishment. As Price looked at the equations, he had a sudden shock of recognition. He realised that what he was looking at was a description of machines he already understood – computers. Price had worked originally as a chemist on the Manhattan Project, but then in the 1950s, he had gone to IBM, where he helped design the graphics for early mainframe computers. Price was an obsessive rationalist and in his spare time, he became a freelance science journalist and he specialised in attacking the myths and superstitions in society. Because

U.S. Presidential Candidate Aims to Stop Funding Countries That Violate International Law and Human Rights Over the last few weeks, the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has killed dozens of civilians and bombed at least one school and one hospital supported by Doctors Without Borders. A number of activists, politicians and news outlets, including The New York Times, are calling on the United States to stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia over the ongoing conflict. But Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein is going even further—calling on the U.S. to stop all funding for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Jill Stein and her running mate Ajamu Baraka have been speaking out on all media to bring these issues to the American people. Yesterday, they held a town on CNN for about 1.5 hours. They are getting traction but the GOP/DEM controlled debate commission will simply not allow them into the debates. Its the only way to keep the 3rd parties down. In fact

Earlier this week, a senior Chinese military officer visited Damascus to discuss closer ties between Syria and China. Guan Youfei, director of the Office for International Military Cooperation of China's Central Military Commission, met Syrian Defense Minister Fahad Jassim al-Freij, Xinhua reported. "China and Syria's militaries have a traditionally friendly relationship, and China's military is willing to keep strengthening exchanges and cooperation with Syria's military," Guan was quoted as saying. Beijing and Damascus also discussed personnel training and reached a consensus on the Chinese military providing humanitarian aid to Syria, according to Xinhua. After China adopted a law authorizing its armed forces to conduct counterterrorist operations abroad many experts predicted that Beijing may get involved in the Syrian conflict. However, that did not happen. "Personnel training" could mean training of technical pers

The United States Department of Justice will no longer use private prisons to incarcerate federal inmates. On Thursday, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates sent a memo to DOJ officials instructing them to either decline to renew federal contracts with for-profit prison facilities when those contracts expire, or to “substantially reduce” the scope of those contracts. “ [Private prisons] simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources; they do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the Department’s Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security, ” Yates wrote in the memo. She added that the ultimate goal of the DOJ’s new policy was “ reducing — and ultimately ending — our use of privately operated prisons. ” The report Yates cited was issued by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Justice last week. In the report, the OIG found

Μα ποια είναι επιτέλους αυτή η Τζιλ Στάιν; Τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες το όνομά της ακούγεται συνέχεια ακόμη και στα συστημικά αμερικανικά media που μέχρι τώρα δεν είχαν βήμα για εκείνη. Ο λόγος είναι ότι μέσα σε ένα πολύ μικρό χρονικό διάστημα αναδείχτηκε σε σοβαρή απειλή για την Χίλαρι Κλίντον υπό το σύνθημα, «Τζιλ, όχι Χιλ». Η Τζιλ Στάιν είναι η υποψήφια του Πράσινου Κόμματος των ΗΠΑ για το οβάλ γραφείο. Και δεν απειλεί τη Χίλαρι Κλίντον επειδή υπάρχει πιθανότητα να εκλεγεί πρόεδρος αλλά επειδή οι ψηφοφόροι του Μπέρνι Σάντερς δείχνουν να στρέφονται σε εκείνη, μετά την ήττα του στις εσωκομματικές εκλογές των Δημοκρατικών. Η Τζιλ Στάιν είναι ρωσο-εβραϊκής καταγωγής, γιατρός, οικολόγος και πολύ ενεργή ακτιβίστρια. Μάλιστα προέρχεται από τους κόλπους των Δημοκρατικών τους οποίους εγκατέλειψε το 1998 όταν το Κονγκρέσο - με πλειοψηφία τότε τους Δημοκρατικούς - κατήργησε το νόμο για τη διαφάνεια στη χρηματοδότηση των προεκλογικών εκστρατειών.
