"Unfortunately, the rhetoric in Washington and Pyongyang is now starting to go over the top," Lavrov said. "We still hope and believe that common sense will prevail." Asked at a forum for Russian students about the risks of the stand-off escalating into armed conflict, he said: "The risks are very high, especially taking into account the rhetoric." "Direct threats of using force are heard... The talk (in Washington) is that there must be a preventive strike made on North Korea, while Pyongyang is threatening to carry out a missile strike on the U.S. base in Guam.

| Nepal revives railways as China, India vye for influence Posted: 12 Aug 2017 08:05 PM PDT  Three years after its last train hit the buffers, landlocked Nepal is building a new railway network to boost its ailing economy -- helped by the rivalry between its powerful neighbours, China and India. The railway to India was a lifeline for the small southern frontier town of Janakpur, used to import everything from sweets to clothes and cosmetics and fuelling a vibrant border economy. Now it is being rebuilt with Indian backing, one of three new rail lines -- one funded by China in the north and a third by Nepal itself -- that the country hopes will help boost international trade.

Nasrallah said Lebanon was being subjected to intimidation and threats over Hezbollah - which is part of the Beirut government but classified as a terrorist group by Washington - and alleged that Lebanese officials had been told that Israel could launch a war.

| Kidnapped glamour model Chloe Ayling hits out at the 'lies' about her ordeal in one of her first interviews Posted: 13 Aug 2017 02:47 AM PDT  A British model has hit out at claims she fabricated her kidnap ordeal describing indepth how she was paralysed with fear after being drugged, handcuffed and gagged in a bid to sell her as a sex slave. Chloe Ayling, 20, has spoken of her week-long ordeal which saw her drugged with ketamine, taken by balaclava clad men and chained to a chest of drawers in a remote Italian farmhouse after being lured to Milan with the promise of a spoof modelling contract. Critics have questioned her account after she was seen buying shoes with her captor and laughing and joking with him in coffee shops and admitted to sharing a bed with him during her ordeal. But in an interview on Sunday, the model claims she was "desperate" to try and "build a bond" with her alleged captor Lukasz Herba in the hope he would set her free. "I understand why people have questions. People need to understand that everything I did was so I could survive," the model told the Mail On Sunday. "I was in a crazy situation and I was terrified." Miss Ayling was put in a bag in the boot of a car by kidnappers who then tried to to sell her as a sex slave in an online auction. She says it was the "worst day of her life" when her captors told her they were part of an online organisation called 'Black Death' and threatened to sell her on the 'deep web' if her agent failed to pay a ransom of $300,000 (£270,000). "I was in shock. That will always be the worst day of my life," she said. The place where a man identified as Lukasz Pawel Herba, a Polish citizen with British residency, held a young British model Credit: ITALIAN POLICE PRESS OFFICE / HANDOUT "Then he said he wanted to help me because I had been taken by mistake. He asked me what my family had to offer. It was just me and Mum at home, there was no way we could afford a ransom. I gave him the names of three people who might help.' I spent the first night seminaked and handcuffed to the chest of drawers." She was told that she would probably by trafficked to the Middle East where, once the man who bought her bored of her, she would be passed on to someone else or fed to the tigers. Lukasz Pawel Herba, 30, a Polish national who lives in the UK, has been arrested by police and confessed to the kidnapping which investigators described as an elaborate plot that involved months of planning. His home in Oldbury, in the West Midlands, has been raided by British officers. It was reported last night that Milan magistrate Dr Giovanna Campanile had ruled Mr Herba was "highly dangerous to society" and should remain in custody ahead of his trial later this year. What is the dark web? 01:33 "There is grave evidence of the guilt of the arrested person, who has admitted to the Public Prosecutor that he was involved in the kidnap," he said. It is claimed Mr Herba has also implicated nine men in the plot, three from Birmingham, but has made no mention of Miss Ayling. Miss Ayling told Italian police that her agent had booked her a photo shoot in Milan on July 11 but when she turned up at the abandoned building she was attacked. "A person wearing black gloves came from behind and put one hand on my neck and one on my mouth to stop me from screaming,"she said in her statement. Photo released by police of a man identified as identified as Lukasz Pawel Herba, a Polish citizen with British residency Credit: Italian Police Photo via AP "A second person wearing a black balaclava gave me an injection in my right forearm. I think I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was wearing a pink bodysuit and the socks I am wearing now. "I realised I was in the boot of a car with my wrists and ankles handcuffed, adhesive tape on my mouth. I was inside a bag and was only able to breathe through a small hole." She claims she was initially forced to lie on the floor next to a chest of drawers and was handcuffed but later was allowed to move freely and sleep in the same bed as her alleged captor. She added: "People might think I'm gullible. It's easy to say that if you've not been through what I've been through. "I didn't want to upset him – he had told me he was a killer. Anyone in my position would have done the same. "I couldn't run. I was paralysed with fear. I thought they would track me down." They had taken compromising photographs of her whilst she was unconscious which were posted on the dark web with the view to auctioning her off.

He said it was against the "rules" of his organisation and his superiors were angry. They later released her and drove her to the British Consulate in Milan on July 17. The day before the pair had been seen in a shop together buying shoes, and Miss Ayling told police that she "made him believe we could be more intimate when the incident ended" so that she could escape. Since her release Miss Ayling has been helping Italian police. She told police she had met Mr Herba a few months earlier on a shoot that was aborted in Paris.

| Amazon wants to send you pre-cooked meals thanks to military technology Posted: 12 Aug 2017 10:19 AM PDT 
Amazon is already web's largest retailer, and having mastered the digital sale and delivery of everything from audio books to baby wipes, it was only a matter of time before the company tackled ready-to-eat meals, too. As reported by Reuters, the ecommerce giant is hard at work on a system that would allow it to provide fully pre-cooked meals to customers without the need for expensive and complicated refrigeration requirements. The report is sourced from a startup that is pitching the technology, and alleges that Amazon is already working out the logistics of how it would market and distribute pre-cooked meals to customers using its existing warehouse structure. The plans could get off the ground as soon as 2018. If the company does indeed plan on adopting this approach, Amazon's ready-to-eat meals would be made possible by preservation technology originally pioneered by the military to provide food for troops. Called microwave-assisted thermal sterilization, the system uses microwaves to eliminate bacteria while also sealing the meal to prevent any contamination. Thanks to this combination of cleanliness and preservation, the meals can remain viable for up to 12 months before spoiling. Such a product offering would put Amazon in a heated battle with other meal delivery services like Blue Apron and Plated. Those services provide mail-order meal packages that include all the ingredients needed to prepare a meal, but still require the customer to actually do the preparation and cooking. Cutting out those steps with completely pre-cooked meals which require just reheating would seemingly fit perfectly with Amazon's convenience-above-all-else approach, but it remains to be seen whether customers would be comfortable with such non-refrigerated meal packages.

| A Sonic Attack in Cuba? How an Acoustic Weapon Might Work Posted: 12 Aug 2017 05:58 AM PDT  A supersecret sonic weapon being used to attack diplomats in a foreign country may sound like the start of a sci-fi novel, but that's exactly what several U.S. diplomats in Cuba may have been exposed to, the U.S. State Department recently announced. The physical symptoms, which the State Department would not confirm, but which some news reports have suggested included hearing loss, got so bad that some of these officials had to be recalled from their duties in Havana. "Some U.S. government personnel who were working at our embassy in Havana, Cuba, on official duties — so they were there working on behalf of the U.S. embassy there — they've reported some incidents which have caused a variety of physical symptoms," Heather Nauert, a spokeswoman for the State Department, said in a news briefing Aug. 9.

| The FCC is actively working against consumers Posted: 12 Aug 2017 08:42 AM PDT 
The Federal Communications Commission is arguably the federal government's least-loved and geekiest body. 30 seconds of talk about rural broadband deployments and spectrum allocation is enough to send most people running from the room. But don't be fooled: the FCC wields a huge amount of power over one of the nation's most critical pieces of infrastructure, and right now, it's a mess.
The hot-topic issue in the FCC is net neutrality. We're not going to try and rehash the argument right now, but in a nutshell, Trump-appointed commissioner Ajit Pai is moving to roll back rules that allow the FCC to enforce net neutrality rules on internet service providers. Net neutrality is bad for the bottom line of internet providers, since it prevents them from using the regional monopoly power that they have to rip off customers. Pai has given lip service to being in favor of net neutrality -- he wants a gentleman's agreement with the ISPs to uphold the "spirit" of net neutrality -- but he's working to dismantle the framework that allows the FCC to make and enforce rules to protect net neutrality. Pai, a former Verizon lawyer, claims (falsely) that net neutrality hurts investment by ISPs, and that the magic free hand of capitalism will protect consumers anyway (it won't). But the FCC's anti-consumer agenda doesn't end at net neutrality. In recent days, the commission has considered redefining "high-speed" broadband at a lower speed -- 10Mbps, to be specific, down from the 25Mbps it's currently at. Doing so would overnight make the US's internet market look a lot better. Right now, 80% of Americans have only one option for high-speed broadband at home, assuming they have any choice at all. That's because for most people, the only high-speed option is the cable network, and as you well know, most people don't have a choice of cable provider. But alongside the cable line running into your house, there's also normally a copper telephone line. It's possible to get ADSL internet speeds of up to 10Mbps over a phone line, which means that if you redefine "high-speed" as 10Mbps, many more Americans will overnight get a second option for high-speed internet. Expect President Trump to crow about how more Americans than ever before have access to high-speed internet in the coming days. Then, there's the FCC's new advisory panel. As The Daily Beast notes, Pai has filled the 30-person Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee (BDAC) with 28 reps from telecoms companies, and just two from local cities. The committee was supposed to work out how cities and companies can work together best to deploy high-speed wireless internet; instead, it will likely be a list of telecoms industry wishes that the FCC will use its power to push through local government. This isn't how it's supposed to work. Without wanting to wave the hammer and sickle while singing Les Mis, internet service providers are using valuable public resources -- our roads, airwaves, and federal subsidies -- to provide a valuable service. The FCC is supposed to regulate those services and ensure that our scarce resources are being used optimally, not work out how to best maximise profits for a handful of gargantuan corporations. You can guess which the current FCC is doing.

| White supremacists carry torches and chant Nazi slogans at rally in Virginia Posted: 12 Aug 2017 03:56 AM PDT  Hundreds of white supremacists carrying burning torches and chanting Nazi-era slogans rallied in Virginia on Friday night before violently clashing with counter-protesters. The brawl at the University of Virginia came ahead of a much larger rally planned for Saturday, when thousands are expected for what monitors described as the "largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades in the US". The "alt-Right" demonstrators gathered late on Friday and chanted "blood and soil" and "one people, one nation, end immigration" as they carried burning torches through the university campus. #Charlottesville 9:56pm �� CHANTS: "One people, one nation, end immigration" & "blood and soil" pic.twitter.com/FbM1N8Ie1r— Alejandro Alvarez (@aletweetsnews) August 12, 2017 "Blood and soil" was a phrase commonly used by the Nazis to hail their ideas about racial superiority and traditional rural life. The mostly male crowd marched through the empty campus in Charlottesville and rallied around a statue of Thomas Jefferson, who designed the university's grounds. There they clashed with a small group of counter-protesters, who had linked arms around the statue. Several people were injured as punches were exchanged and pepper-spray was fired. Mike Signer, the mayor of Charlottesville, called the white nationalist march "a cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights". Larry Sabato, a professor at the university, said it was "the most nauseating thing I've ever seen" in his 47 years of being associated with the university. In my 47 years of association with @UVA, this was the most nauseating thing I've ever seen. We need an exorcism on the Lawn.— Larry Sabato (@LarrySabato) August 12, 2017 Richard Spencer, the provocateur credited with coining the term alt-Right, was also at the rally. The torch lit scenes on the university campus may be only a foreshadowing of the much larger demonstrations expected on Saturday at the Unite the Right rally - which is expected to bring together different factions of the alt-Right. Police expect that between 2,000 and 6,000 demonstrators will gather in Emancipation Park around a statue of Robert E Lee, a Confederate general during the American Civil War. White nationalist protesters have angrily opposed plans to take down statues of Lee and other Confederate figures who fought for the cause of slavery during the war. Don't make the white kids angry.#UniteTheRight#Charlottesvillepic.twitter.com/mBqUYAhVnK— Alt-Knight Right † (@populationwatch) August 12, 2017 The demonstrators accuse local governments of trying to erase history by removing the statues and often chant "you will not replace us" as they rally around the statues. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that tracks extremist organisations in the US, said that Saturday's rally may be the "largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades in the US". The city of Charlottesville had tried to get the protest moved to another park but the rally organisers sued and a judge ruled they must be allowed in Emancipation Park. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a civil liberties group, supported the nationalist demonstrators in their suit, saying that freedom of speech "applies equally to everyone regardless of their views". The ACLU has previously defended the right of the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups to hold rallies. The governor of Virginia has urged people to stay away from the rally and not to take part in counter-protests.
