Cave rescue highlights plight of Thailand's stateless peopleBy Panu Wongcha-um and James Pearson MAE SAI, Thailand (Reuters) - On the Thai side of the mountainous border with Myanmar, where 12 boys and their football coach were rescued from a flooded cave last week, thousands of stateless people live trapped between countries with no access to some basic rights. All of the boys and their 25-year-old coach, who make up the 'Wild Boars' soccer team, will be discharged from hospital next week following a three-day rescue that evoked international relief and joy. Although the Wild Boars are now viewed in this Southeast Asian country as national treasures, four of them are technically stateless.

Salisbury's fears continue after police admit there could be more Novichok out there

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 08:17 AM PDT

Salisbury's fears continue after police admit there could be more Novichok out therePolice have admitted there could still be traces of deadly Novichok nerve agent in Salisbury, prompting renewed concern over the safety of residents and the continued impact on the city's tourism economy. The warning came after officers discovered a small glass bottle at the Wiltshire home of Charlie Rowley, which has since tested positive for the chemical. Mr Rowley's girlfriend Dawn Sturgess, 44, died in hospital last Sunday evening after being exposed to the nerve agent the previous weekend. Salisbury couple He was also taken to hospital critically ill, but has since regained consciousness and has been interviewed by police. It is thought Mr Rowley, 45, was able to help detectives as to the whereabouts of the source of the contamination when he emerged from his coma last week. The rise of biological and chemical weapons After Salisbury, how ready is the UK? Further tests on the bottle and its contents are now being carried out and it is hoped it could provide crucial evidence to prove who attacked the former Russian double agent, Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in March. But announcing the discovery of the bottle as "a significant and positive development", Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the Head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing, also warned: "We cannot guarantee that there isn't any more of the substance left and cordons will remain in place for some considerable time. This is to allow thorough searches to continue as a precautionary measure for public safety and to assist the investigation team." AC Basu added: "The safety of the public and our officers remains paramount and we are continuing to work closely with Wiltshire Police, scientists, health experts from Public Health England and other partners." PHE has maintained its advice to the public not to pick up any discarded object in the Salisbury area, such as containers, lids, syringes, needles, cosmetics, which could contain liquid or gel. Scotland Yard said tests at the Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down, Wiltshire, had confirmed to that the substance contained in the bottle was Novichok and further tests are being carried out to establish whether it came from the same batch that contaminated Mr Skripal and his daughter. Police outside the home of Charlie Rowley, 45, in Muggleton Road in Amesbury, Wiltshire, where a bottle containing Novichok was found Credit: Steve Parsons/PA Police yesterday said their search teams had recovered over 400 exhibits, samples and items as part of the ongoing police investigation. Scotland Yard also warned that searches for any other potential sites or sources of contamination  are expected to continue for several weeks, if not months. AC Basu described the investigation as "one of the most complex and difficult that UK policing has ever faced". But the fact police have yet to confirm how the bottle came into the possession of Mr Rowley and Miss Sturgess and where they found it has left Salisbury residents deeply uneasy. Novichok poisoning - Salisbury – Amesbury timeline and map It is thought they may have come across it in Queen Elizabeth Gardens, close to the centre of Salisbury, before catching a bus to Mr Rowley's home, where they collapsed within hours of each other. The large park has since been sealed off by police. Sabrina Burr, 38, who lives less than 200 metres away from Mr Rowley's home in Muggleton Road, Amesbury, said: "I can't believe that something so deadly could be so close. It's scary to think what could have happened, children play around here, what if something happened to them? "I'm quite concerned that anyone around here could have been exposed, it makes me a little angry. Is there more of it?" Ms Burr added: "I'm happy police have found it but I hope this is the only source of it, if they could just pick it up, then anyone could." Officers yesterday continued their forensic examination of Mr Rowley's home, where a fire engine and a special incident response ambulance remained in position. Another of Mr Rowley's neighbours said she is now scared to let her children play either on the green next to his home or in Queen Elizabeth Gardens. She said: "It's really scary knowing that something that can kill you so easily was just hundreds of metres away from my home and children. "You would see Charlie and Dawn around, they were always very nice, but to think they were carrying something so deadly is horrible." She added: "It's scary that they were able to just pick it up off of the floor. I hope there isn't anymore, but you just never know, I don't think we will ever know for sure." Matthew Dean, leader of Salisbury City Council, told The Sunday Telegraph: "A very big question remains over how the container got there and if it was found by one of them in Salisbury what are the implications for the people of the town." Yulia Skripal, who survived a Novichok assassination attempt on her and her father Sergei, a former Russian spy Credit: Dylan Martinez/PA The impact of the second Novichok poisoning has left Salisbury's economy reeling, just as it was starting to recover from the fall out of the attack on the Skripals. Footfall in local shops has dropped by an estimated thirty per cent, a similar drop to that which followed the Skripal attack - but at a time when the cathedral city should be busy with tourists. Local sources say many American coach parties have simply stopped coming to Salisbury, a favourite location close to Stonehenge. The Government is to provide a £5 million recovery package for the city to support businesses, boost tourism and meet unexpected costs. Mr Dean said: "People are very nervous about the continuing economic impact on the area. We have had very poor tourist numbers this year, despite the good weather. People are very concerned about that especially after they had started to feel they had turned a corner after the March attack."

New documents reveal extent of Michael Cohen's attempts to 'sell access' to White House, report claims

New documents reveal extent of Michael Cohen's attempts to 'sell access' to White House, report claimsDonald Trump's former personal attorney was more deeply involved with Novartis – a drug company for whom he attempted to "sell access" to the White House – than previously disclosed, a new Senate report has claimed. A report drafted by Democrats on two Senate committees provides new insight into the controversial attempts by Michael Cohen, the president's long-time attorney and personal "fixer", to serve as a consultant on the new administration for outside companies. The effort – which earned Mr Cohen more than $4m in the months after Mr Trump's election – raised questions over whether he had improperly peddled his White House access, and failed to adequately register as a lobbyist.

Flooding fears as huge iceberg drifts close to Greenland village 

Posted: 13 Jul 2018 05:41 AM PDT

Flooding fears as huge iceberg drifts close to Greenland village A massive iceberg drifting near the coast of Greenland has triggered fears of flooding if it breaks up, leading the authorities to evacuate a high-risk zone. The authorities have urged residents of the Innarsuit island settlement with houses on a promontory to move away from the shore over fears that the iceberg, which was spotted on Thursday, could swamp the area. "We fear the iceberg could calve and send a flood towards the village," Lina Davidsen, a security chief at the Greenland police, told Danish news agency Ritzau on Friday. The settlement in northwestern Greenland has 169 inhabitants, but only those living closest to the iceberg have been evacuated, Ritzau reported. "The iceberg is still near the village and the police are now discussing what do to next," Kunuk Frediksen, a police chief in the Danish autonomous territory, told AFP. The incident comes weeks after scientists at New York University shot and released a video of a massive iceberg breaking free from a glacier in eastern Greenland in June. Last year, four people died and 11 were injured after an earthquake sparked a tsunami off another island settlement called Nuugaatsiaq, sending several houses crashing into the sea.

Damascus raises flag in Daraa, but tough battles ahead

Damascus raises flag in Daraa, but tough battles aheadThe rapid fall of Daraa city, the cradle of Syria's uprising, is an important victory for President Bashar al-Assad's regime, but the country's devastating war is far from over, analysts say. Russian-backed government forces raised the flag in Daraa city on Thursday, but the regime still has two regions outside its control -- and influential neighbours -- to contend with. "Bashar al-Assad sent a signal with the fall of Daraa city that nowhere in Syria that has risen up against him will remain outside his reach," said Nick Heras, an analyst at the Center for a New American Strategy.


Nancy Sinatra Senior, first wife of singer Frank, has died aged 101

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 12:48 AM PDT

Nancy Sinatra Senior, first wife of singer Frank, has died aged 101Nancy Sinatra Senior, the first wife of singer Frank and mother of his three children, has died aged 101. Her daughter Nancy Junior, famed for her song These Boots Were Made For Walkin', posted the news to Twitter early on Saturday morning. She wrote: "My mother passed away peacefully tonight at the age of 101. "She was a blessing and the light of my life. Godspeed, Momma. Thank you for everything." Nancy Sinatra Senior was born as Nancy Barbato on March 25, 1917 and met Frank in 1934 at the New Jersey holiday resort of Long Branch. He was 19, she was 17 and the couple got engaged almost immediately. Over the next few years, they rarely saw each other because of Sinatra's virtually non-stop work-schedule. Frank admitted, when questioned by Nancy, that he had been involved with another woman, but he insisted there would be no more and the pair got married. However, in September, 1950, Nancy was granted a legal separation because of his mental cruelty. Nancy Junior is the eldest of the three children, followed by singer Frank Junior who died in 2016 and actress Tina.
