Pittsburgh Killing Aftermath Bares Jewish Rifts in Israel and America
BEIT SHEMESH, Israel — The slaughter of 11 Jews in Pittsburgh elicited responses in Israel that echoed the reactions to anti-Semitic killings in Paris, Toulouse and Brussels: expressions of sympathy, reminders that hatred of Jews is as rampant as ever, reaffirmations of the need for a strong Israel.
But Saturday’s massacre also brought to the surface painful political and theological disagreements tearing at the fabric of Israeli society and driving a wedge between Israelis and American Jews.
Israel’s Ashkenazi chief rabbi took pains to avoid the word “synagogue” to describe the scene of the crime — because it is not Orthodox, but Conservative, one of the liberal branches of Judaism that, despite their numerous adherents in the United States, are rejected by the religious authorities who determine the Jewish state’s definitions of Jewishness.
And the attacker’s anti-refugee, anti-Muslim fulminations on social media prompted some on the Israeli left — like many American Jewish liberals — to draw angry comparisons to views espoused by the increasingly nationalistic leaders who now hold sway in their governments.
Chinese Military May Gain From Western University Ties, Report Warns
SYDNEY, Australia — The Chinese military is expanding its collaborations with foreign universities, sometimes concealing its scientists’ military ties, according to an Australian report published Tuesday. The report raises questions about whether countries wary of China’s rising power are in fact directly contributing to its military advancement.
In the past decade, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has sent 2,500 military scientists, researchers and engineers abroad, according to the report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research institution in Canberra, the capital.
While they work with academics and scientists at institutions around the world, they are especially concentrated in the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the so-called Five Eyes nations that broadly share intelligence.
The number of peer-reviewed papers jointly published by Chinese scientists and their Western counterparts has increased more than sevenfold in that time, according to the report, to 734 last year from 95 in 2007. The research they conduct is sometimes in areas with strategic military applications like navigation technology, quantum physics and cryptography.
Mexico’s Incoming President Plans to Cancel Giant New Airport Project
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s president-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday that he would cancel construction of an expensive new airport in the capital after voters rejected it in an informal voting procedure involving a small fraction of the population.
The decision to scrap the airport, a $13 billion project that is one-third complete, met with swift protests from Mexico’s business community, which warned that the cancellation could threaten the country’s economic stability by sending a message that investments may not be guaranteed under the López Obrador administration.
It also raised questions among investors about how much Mr. López Obrador, a leftist, will be guided by pragmatism and how much will he give in to his populist instincts after he takes office on Dec. 1.
Citing the results of an unofficial vote organized by allies of his own party, in which fewer than two percent of Mexico’s eligible voters participated, Mr. López Obrador said that his government would instead build two new runways at an air base north of the city to absorb the rising demand that has saturated the existing airport.
With North Korean Threats Looming, the U.S. Army Pursues Controversial Weapons
After the Pentagon scuttled a longstanding pledge to destroy its existing cluster-munitions stockpile, the Army is moving ahead with renewed vigor to acquire at least three new foreign-made versions of the weapons for its artillery. Late last year, the Trump administration canceled a Defense Department policy that limited the military’s ability to use cluster munitions, which, at a conference on Friday in Arlington, Va., Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan attributed specifically to the threat posed by North Korea.
Cluster munitions are a type of weapon that distributes smaller weapons, called submunitions or bomblets, over a targeted area. They have been condemned by lawmakers and arms-control groups for causing indiscriminate harm to civilians even decades after conflicts end. The now-abandoned policy, drafted in 2008 under Robert Gates, the defense secretary at the time, required any submunitions used after 2018 to have a dud rate, or the percentage of submunitions that don’t detonate when they are supposed to, of 1 percent or less — a standard the Pentagon appeared unable to meet, even a decade after the policy was put in place. The 2017 policy change stated that newly produced cluster munitions must have a dud rate of 1 percent or less, but left open the use of older cluster munitions with higher dud rates, which allowed the United States to maintain its large cluster-munitions stockpile. The Army has since ramped up its effects to seek newer cluster-munition models.

U.S. to Block Sales to Chinese Tech Company Over Security Concerns
WASHINGTON — The United States said on Monday that it would block a Chinese state-owned technology company from buying American components because it posed a national security threat, the latest volley in an escalating dispute between the world’s two largest economies.
The company, Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit, a manufacturer of semiconductors, “poses a significant risk” of becoming involved in activities that might infringe on national security, the Commerce Department said.
[Behind accusations that Fujian Jinhua was stealing American technologyto power China’s future.]
The move could cripple Jinhua, which relies on American components for its semiconductors, and followed similar action taken by the Commerce Department this year to block sales of components to ZTE, a Chinese telecom company. The ZTE ban was rescinded after President Trump — responding to a request from President Xi Jinping of China in May — asked the department to lighten the penalty. ZTE agreed to pay a large fine, reshuffle its leadership and undergo compliance monitoring by the United States.

Humanity has wiped out 60% of animal populations since 1970, report finds
“We are sleepwalking towards the edge of a cliff” said Mike Barrett, executive director of science and conservation at WWF. “If there was a 60% decline in the human population, that would be equivalent to emptying North America, South America, Africa, Europe, China and Oceania. That is the scale of what we have done.”

Trump suggests he will end birthright citizenship with executive order
Birthright citizenship, as it is referred to in the US, is enshrined by the 14th amendment to the US constitution. But Trump has suggested in a TV interview with the breaking news site Axios that he would move unilaterally to sign an executive order that ended the right.
In the interview with Axios on birthright citizenship, Trump falsely claimed: “We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits.” He added: “It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end.”
Trump accused of stoking immigration fears by sending 5,200 troops to border
General Terrence O’Shaughnessy, the head of US northern command, said 800 US troops were already en route to the Texas border and 5,200 would be headed to the south-west region by the end of the week, far higher than the 800 to 1,000 initially forecast. There are about 2,000 US troops deployed in Syria to combat Islamic State, according to the Pentagon.
On Monday Trump warned that the military would be waiting. “Many Gang Members and some very bad people are mixed into the Caravan heading to our Southern Border,” Trump tweeted. “Please go back, you will not be admitted into the United States unless you go through the legal process. This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!” he added.

The unseen driver behind the migrant caravan: climate change
Most members of the migrant caravans come from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador – three countries devastated by violence, organised crime and systemic corruption, the roots of which can be traced back to the region’s cold war conflicts. Experts say that alongside those factors, climate change in the region is exacerbating – and sometimes causing – a miasma of other problems including crop failures and poverty.
Robert Albro, a researcher at the Center for Latin American and Latino Studies at American University says:
“The main reason people are moving is because they don’t have anything to eat. This has a strong link to climate change – we are seeing tremendous climate instability that is radically changing food security in the region.”

Venezuelans say Colombian rebels to blame for killing spree in mining zone
Over three days from 14 October, at least seven miners were murdered near Tumeremo, in Bolívar state, the heart of Venezuela’s so-called “mining arc”.
Mining in the region had always been a dangerous vocation: the mines were controlled by violent local mafias which operated with impunity. Now, however, a leftist guerrilla group from neighbouring Colombia is expanding in the zone, and leaving dead bodies in its wake. Victims’ families say that the National Liberation Army (or ELN) was behind the massacre which took place 900 miles from the Colombian border.
Venezuelan officials deny the presence of ELN guerrillas in Bolívar, but locals say that living among the rebel army is a fact of daily life.
Assange must follow new Ecuador embassy rules, says judge
The judge, Karina Martínez, found that stricter rules recently imposed by the South American nation’s embassy – such as requiring Assange to pay for his internet and clean up after his cat – do not violate his asylum rights because authorities have the right to decide what is and isn’t allowed inside the building.

Bangladesh y Birmania acuerdan comenzar la repatriación de 700.000 rohinyás
30 de octubre. La repatriación de los más de 700.000 refugiados de la minoría rohinyá que huyeron de la violencia en Birmania (Myanmar) a Bangladesh en agosto del año pasado comenzará a mediados de noviembre.
El anuncio llega casi un año después de que ambos países firmaran el 23 de noviembre de 2017 un acuerdo para el regreso de los miembros de esa comunidad musulmana, que llegaron desde el 25 de agosto a Bangladesh huyendo de una violencia que según expertos de la ONU podría constituir un "genocidio intencional".
Haque dijo que funcionarios bangladesíes y birmanos visitarán mañana Cox's Bazar, donde se concentran la mayor parte de los refugiados, para "intentar alentar" a los rohinyás a "volver de forma segura".
Erdogan anuncia otra gran ofensiva contra milicias kurdas en Siria
El mandatario turco, Tayyip Erdogan, aseguró que su país continuaría actuando para eliminar la "amenaza" que suponen las milicias kurdas para Turquía. Dichas milicias son aliadas de EE. UU. contra el EI.
El presidente turco, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, declaró este martes (30.10.2018) que Turquía ha ultimado los preparativos para una operación militar contra las milicias kurdas en el norte de Siria.
El presidente turco aludía a las milicias kurdas Unidades de Protección del Pueblo (YPG), aliadas de Estados Unidos en la lucha contra el yihadista Estado Islámico, pero que Ankara considera una organización terrorista vinculada al PKK, la guerrilla kurda que opera en Turquía.

Francia dice no saber si Arabia Saudí usa sus armas en Yemen
La ministra francesa de Defensa, Florence Parly, reconoció hoy que no puede garantizar que Arabia Saudí y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos utilicen armas francesas en la guerra de Yemen.
Sin embargo, Parly insistió en que eso no ocurre con las armas vendidas "recientemente". "Por lo que sé, las armas que se han vendido recientemente no se han utilizado contra la población civil", respondió Parly este martes (30.10.2018) en una entrevista al canal "BFMTV", al ser preguntada por el uso de armas francesas en ese conflicto.
A continuación, explicó que no podía garantizar lo mismo con otras que se entregaron a esos países hace mucho tiempo y, en todo caso, se refirió a armas que se habían vendido "hace más de 20 años"

Rusia y Turquía abordan de manera efectiva asuntos regionales y globales urgentes, dice Putin
MOSCU, 29 oct (Xinhua) -- El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, dijo hoy que Rusia y Turquía han sido efectivos al abordar los asuntos regionales e internacionales urgentes.
Putin hizo estas declaraciones en un mensaje de felicitaciones para el presidente turco, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, por el 95° aniversario del establecimiento de Turquía, de acuerdo con el Kremlin.
Rusia impuso una serie de restricciones a Turquía y congeló proyectos bilaterales después de que Turquía derribara un bombardero de combarte Su-24M ruso en noviembre de 2015, pero las relaciones bilaterales se recuperaron gradualmente después de que Erdogan ofreciera disculpas en junio de 2016.

Gaza's drinking water spurs blue baby syndrome, serious illnesses
Contaminated and scarce water owing to Israel's brutal siege and bombing of infrastructure leads to death and disease.
Sandy Tolan
"Occupation and siege are the primary impediments to the successful promotion of public health in the Gaza Strip," declared a 2018 study in the Lancet, which cited "significant and deleterious effects to health care."
Without a major intervention by the international community, and soon, humanitarian groups warn Gaza will become uninhabitable by 2020 - barely a year from now.
Defence firms see only hundreds of new US jobs from Saudi deal
Documents seen by Reuters forecasts fewer than 1,000 jobs will be created by arms deal between Washington and Riyadh.
Lockheed instead predicts the deal could create nearly 10,000 new jobs in Saudi Arabia while keeping up to 18,000 existing US workers busy if the whole package comes together - an outcome experts say is unlikely.
A person familiar with Raytheon's planning said if the Saudi order were executed it could help to sustain about 10,000 US jobs, but the number of new jobs created would be a small percentage of that figure.
Executives at the several of top US defence companies say Riyadh had wanted much of the military equipment as a way to both develop new domestic industry and to create new jobs and local expertise as a part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 initiative to wean the country off oil dependency.

Is a US-China war in Asia inevitable?
Chinese and American officials increasingly talk about war over Taiwan and the South China Sea - could it really happen?
James Reinl. This month, Vice President Mike Pence spoke at a conservative think-tank about cyber-attacks, Taiwan, freedom of the seas and human rights in a policy address that highlighted a sharpening US approach to China beyond the bitter trade war.
China was deploying anti-ship and anti-air missiles on artificial islands in the disputed South China Sea, Pence said.
According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, China has launched more submarines, warships and other vessels since 2014 than the number of ships currently serving in the combined navies of Germany, India, Spain, Taiwan and Britain.
The sea covers some 1.7 million square kilometres and contains more than 200 mostly uninhabitable small islands, rocks and reefs.
It is the shortest route between the Pacific and Indian Oceans and has some of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

Solar spacecraft smashes records for speed and proximity to the Sun (PHOTOS)
A NASA probe has gotten closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft, coming within 26.65 million miles of the solar surface - and set the record for the fastest-ever man made object in the process.
The Parker Solar Probe beat the previously held solar proximity record of 26.55 million miles from the Sun, set by the German-American Helios 2 spacecraft back in April 1976, on Monday.
The mission is expected to smash its new record over and over again as it continues its hazardous mission to study our star. Its final close approach in 2025 is expected to get within 3.83 million miles of the flaming gaseous orb.

Russia’s largest floating dock sinks, while nation’s sole aircraft carrier still inside
Four workers were injured and one is missing as Russia’s largest floating dock quickly went underwater. Its tower crane fell 15 meters, crashing on the country’s only aircraft carrier and piercing a hole in its hull.
The incident occurred at a shipyard in the port city of Murmansk in northwest Russia, where the aircraft carrier ‘Admiral Kuznetsov’ was undergoing planned repair and maintenance. The ship was parked in the floating dry dock PD-50. It could hold up to 80,000 tons, and was considered one of the largest floating docks in the world, as well as Russia’s largest.

No escape from FSB: Bust of ISIS-linked cell caught on VIDEO
Russia’s security agency, the FSB, has released dramatic footage of a bust of a suspected terrorist cell which had links to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).
According to the FSB, the cell, which operated in the Republic of Tatarstan in the eastern part of European Russia, was obliterated in a series of simultaneous raids. A total of seven cell members and 11 sympathizers have been arrested.
The leader of the group was tried previously for advocating terrorism online, the FSB statement said. Tracking his activities allowed law enforcement officers to find out that he was planning more serious crimes.

China’s Xi tells military to prepare for war as US Navy warns of high seas encounters
Chinese President Xi Jinping told military officials responsible for the disputed South China Sea to be better “prepared for war” as tensions with the US are rising. Beijing may be bracing for a worst-case scenario with the US.
Xi made the blunt remarks last week as he was meeting the Southern Theatre Command, the military officials responsible for one of China’s five strategic war zones. The calls were made on Thursday as part of his four-day visit to Guangdong province, but the Chinese state media reported them only on Friday.
One of the key responsibilities of the Southern Theater Command is protecting China’s interests in the South China Sea, where Beijing claims sovereignty over a number of islands. The sea is of strategic importance to Chinese trade. The US rejects the territorial claims and has been sending so-called Freedom of Navigation missions through the waters and airspace, which Beijing considers its own, as a gesture of defiance.

Laser shone at plane cockpit flying at 29,000 feet, police investigate
A laser was shone into the cockpit of a passenger plane which was flying at 29,000ft (8,840m). Humberside police have confirmed the incident happened on Saturday as the plane flew over North East Lincolnshire. The Scandinavian commercial flight from Manchester to Bilund, Denmark, was hit by the laser at 18:45 GMT on Sunday.
The incident comes as threats to flights are on the increase. Earlier in October, a high-flying drone missed a Virgin Atlantic jet by ten feet (3 metres), in what is thought to be the closest ever near miss between the gadget and an airliner.
Under laws brought in earlier this year, drones are only allowed to fly below 400ft (122m), they are also required to avoid flight paths and be within sight of their operators at all times.
