As prince visits, Saudi Aramco to sign $10 billion of deals in FranceSaudi Aramco will sign eight deals worth $10 billion with French firms on Tuesday, the chief executive of the state-run oil giant said on Monday - the main contracts expected to be sealed during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to France. The powerful young prince who is behind modernising reforms in Saudi Arabia is on a three-day trip at a time when relations between the two countries have become more complicated, including over how to address Iran's role in the region. Aramco and French oil major Total plan to sign an agreement to expand their joint venture refinery in Saudi Arabia, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on April 5.

US, Russia headed for UN clash over SyriaThe UN Security Council will vote Tuesday on rival US and Russian draft resolutions in response to an alleged chemical attack in Syria, setting up a clash as the threat of US military action loomed large. The council will meet at 3:00 pm (1900 GMT) for a first vote on a US proposal to set up an inquiry to investigate chemical weapons attacks in Syria, but the measure is likely to face a veto from Russia, diplomats said. Russia has also asked for a vote on a separate draft text presented in January that calls for an inquiry, but Western powers have already dismissed that measure as biased in favor of Damascus.

Theresa May suggests UK considering military response against 'brutal' Syrian regime

Posted: 09 Apr 2018 10:19 AM PDT

Theresa May suggests UK considering military response against 'brutal' Syrian regimeTheresa May has suggested the Government is considering joining potential military action against the Assad regime after a suspected Syrian chemical weapons attack that killed 70 people. The Prime Minister described the attack as "barbaric" and that Britain "utterly condemns the use of chemical weapons in any circumstances". The Government has stressed the importance of the attack being investigated to determine who is culpable. But Mrs May said that the regime, and its backers like Russia, "must be held to account" if found to be responsible. Donald Trump said on Monday that a "major decision" would be made on the US response within 48 hours, adding that "nothing was off the table" following the attack in Douma, a besieged suburb of Damascus, which has sparked international outrage. Syria what next His comments raised the possibility of a US airstrike against Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian dictator, and speculation has now turned to whether the UK could play a role in any possible action. Speaking in Copenhagen after meeting with Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister, Mrs May said Britain is "discussing with our allies what action is necessary". She said: "What we are currently doing, what we are urgently doing, with our allies is assessing what has taken place. "Obviously if this is a chemical weapons attack of the sort that certainly initial reports suggest that it is, this is another example of the Assad regime's brutality and the brazen way in which they have ignored the interests of their people. "I think this is a reprehensible attack that has taken place. We have seen it is not only adults that have been affected but children affected by this attack as well.   "But we assess what has taken place and we will also be discussing with our allies what action is necessary. Syria chemical attack "I think we are very clear that if this is a chemical weapons attack of the sort that it appears to be, from the regime that we want to ensure that those responsible are held to account." A residential area of Douma, one the last-remaining rebel-held areas in Syria, was struck by the suspected chemical weapons attack around 8.45pm on Saturday. Footage from the ground showed the dead bodies of children and adults foaming at the mouth with open eyes. Many had been in a basement when the attack hit. Mrs May described the pictures showing the aftermath of the "absolutely appalling" attack as "horrific". She then warned Russia that it should "look very carefully" as its support for the Assad regime. Russia's President Vladimir Putin: Theresa May warned Russia that is should 'look very carefully' at it's support for the Assad regime She said: "Yes, this is about the actions of his (Assad's) regime but it is also about the backers of that regime and of course Russia is one of those backers and I think that the message that we have consistently given is that those who are backing the regime need to look very carefully at the position that they have taken. "This is a brutal regime that is attacking its own people and we are very clear that it must be held to account and its backers must be held to account too." Douma chemical attack Downing Street had earlier said the attack needed to be "urgently investigated" and that Britain was "swiftly working with our allies to agree a common position". Number 10 stopped short of directly blaming the Syrian government for the incident but stressed "we have seen issues in the past with the Assad regime". The Prime Minister's official spokesman said the Government will "look at the range of options" available in terms of a response after an investigation into the attack has concluded. Russia, Iran and Syria all denied chemical weapons had been used, with the Kremlin warning that any military response from the West would be "absolutely unacceptable". UK ministers are concerned that they may be forced to hold a vote in the Commons to authorise joining any action against the Assad regime, with no guarantee of winning it. The Government fears that Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, could oppose military action which would make the "electoral maths" challenging. Syria chemical weapons Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, refused to be drawn on Monday on whether the Government would be willing launch an attack without consulting MPs. Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, said in February that Britain should consider joining military action against Assad's regime if there is fresh "incontrovertible" evidence he has used chemical weapons against his own people. Asked if the Government was considering limited military action, Ms Rudd told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The Foreign Secretary is right in his comments. The UN Security Council is of course meeting today. "What we have seen overnight is another horrific piece of activity in Syria, hurting children and families, and we need to make sure we have a strong international response." Mr Johnson spoke to his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian on Monday about the attack in Douma. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Speaking to Le Drian, the Foreign Secretary underlined the urgent need to investigate what had happened in Douma and to ensure a strong and robust international response." Labour's initial response to the attack provoked criticism because its statement, issued on Sunday evening, appeared to put the Assad regime on an equal footing with other actors in the Syrian civil war. Mr Corbyn adopted a similar stance on Monday as he told LBC Radio: "I have condemned absolutely what he (Assad) has done, and what every other force has done in Syria." He added: "I condemn the Syrian forces as well as other forces for what they have done in that civil war." Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, issued a much tougher response on Monday and said: "What has happened in Douma looks to be just the latest abhorrent attack in Syria using chemical weapons, a war crime for which the Assad regime has been found responsible in the past and which we utterly condemn." David Cameron, the former prime minister, lost an historic vote for action in Syria in 2013, which is widely seen to have emboldened the Assad regime. The Government won a vote in the Commons for military action against Isil in Syria in 2015, but that does not extend to the Assad regime. Parliament is also in recess until next week, by which time it may be too late to join any military action. Front Bench promotion - end of article


Air Showdown: America's F-22 & F-35 Stealth Fighters vs. Russia's S-400 (Who Wins?)

Air Showdown: America's F-22 & F-35 Stealth Fighters vs. Russia's S-400 (Who Wins?)For the Russians, solving the problem of targeting a low observable aircraft is something that they continue to work on—but it is doubtful the Moscow has resolved the issue. Russia's strong investment in layers of air defenses tells us that the Kremlin believes the primary threat to its ground forces comes from U.S. airpower. As such, defeating stealth technology is one of Moscow's top priorities, Kofman notes, and the Kremlin has dedicated a lot of resources to that end.


Indonesia's Lion Air buying 50 Boeing 737's in $6.2 bn deal

Posted: 10 Apr 2018 02:43 AM PDT

Indonesia's Lion Air buying 50 Boeing 737's in $6.2 bn dealIndonesia's Lion Air is buying 50 Boeing 737 MAX 10 airplanes in a deal valued at about $6.2 billion, the firms said Tuesday, as the carrier looks to cash in on a transport boom in the Southeast Asian nation. The new single-aisle plane is the latest incarnation of Boeing's 737 MAX series, which can accommodate between 130 and 230 passengers and fly up to 3,850 nautical miles (7,130 kilometres), the companies said in a statement. The order -- the largest to date for the MAX 10 -- was valued at $6.24 billion, although multi-plane deals tend to end up costing carriers less than list prices.

Syrian government celebrated after targeting and killing journalist Marie Colvin, defector claims

Posted: 10 Apr 2018 05:41 AM PDT

Syrian government celebrated after targeting and killing journalist Marie Colvin, defector claimsThe Syrian government celebrated after they targeted and killed veteran war correspondent Marie Colvin, a former Syrian intelligence officer has claimed. Ms Colvin, an American journalist working for the Sunday Times, and French photographer Remi Ochlik were killed by rockets fired at a house they were staying at in the Baba Amr neighbourhood of Homs, western Syria, in 2012. British photographer Paul Conroy, French reporter Edith Bouvier, and Syrian interpreter Wael al-Omar were all wounded in the same attack. The claims were made by the officer in newly released court documents filed as part of a wrongful death suit by Ms Colvin's family. The former intelligence officer, code named Ulysses, provided a detailed account of how Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's regime sought to capture or kill journalists and activists in Homs, a centre of the pro-democratic revolution that erupted across the country in 2011. Photographer Remi Ochlik was also killed in the strike. Credit: AP The defector claimed that when Ms Colvin's death was confirmed, Syrian Maj. Gen. Rafiq Shahadah exclaimed: "Marie Colvin was a dog and now she's dead. Let the Americans help her now." His account appears to be corroborated by Syrian government documents filed as evidence in the case, which suggest the regime targeted her to silence her reporting on its atrocities. The defector claimed that as an intelligence officer, he reviewed intelligence and surveillance reports from around the country during 2011 and 2012 and was privy to open and secure communications. He currently lives legally in Europe because he fears he is wanted by Syrian intelligence officials. The lawsuit alleges that Syrian forces tracked Western journalists' movements and located their media centre so they could be captured or killed. President Bashar al-Assad's government claimed after the attack that they had not known who was in the house, or that any of the journalists were in the country as they had entered "illegally". Syrian President Bashar Assad, left, speaks with Syrian troops during his visit to the front line in Damascus. Credit: Syrian official news agency SANA However, the lawsuit alleges that Ms Colvin was in fact being tracked from neighbouring Lebanon after Syrian officials received information that she and Mr Conroy were planning to smuggle into the war-torn country. She was reporting on the Syrian government's bombing of residential areas when she was killed by a rocket attack on a media centre. The pair entered Homs through an underground water tunnel and toured a field hospital and a cellar called the "widow's basement" where mostly women and children sought shelter from the bombs. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, speaks with Marie Colvin during a service at St. Bride's Church in London. Credit: Getty As part of her reporting, Ms Colvin gave live interviews to the BBC and CNN. Syrian forces were "shelling with impunity and a merciless disregard for the civilians who simply cannot escape," she said. The highest levels of the Syrian government, including President Assad's brother, were behind the plan to track the journalist once she entered Syria, the lawsuit claims, using a mobile satellite interception device that could tap broadcast signals and locate their origin as well as an informant on the ground. As part of his testimony, the defector identified eight Syrian officials, including Mr Assad's brother Maher, who he claims were involved in the attack on the media center. Marie Colvin at St Bride's Church in London in 2012. Credit: Getty "The actual maliciousness that the Syrian regime had against Western reporters and their Syrian counterparts and sources is on display through multiple witnesses and multiple documents," said Scott Gilmore, the lawyer acting on behalf of Ms Colvin's family. Her sister Cathleen is seeking an undetermined amount for the emotional pain of losing her sister, compensatory damages for her three children, who are beneficiaries of Ms Colvin's estate, and punitive damages against the Syrian government. So far, the Syrian government has not filed any response to the lawsuit. At least 100 journalists, most of them Syrian, have been killed in the country since the conflict began in 2011. Ms Colvin's killing came early on in the Syrian civil war, when, as the lawsuit claims, President Assad's regime was trying to silence local and international media "as part of its effort to crush political opposition". A veteran foreign correspondent, Ms Colvin had years of experience reporting in war zones. She covered conflicts in Chechnya, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, East Timor and Sri Lanka where she lost the sight in her left eye in a blast. The black patch she wore over her eye became her trademark.

This week's earthquake cluster is the new normal in Oklahoma. Here's why.

Posted: 09 Apr 2018 12:42 PM PDT

This week's earthquake cluster is the new normal in Oklahoma. Here's why.A cluster of earthquakes hit Oklahoma over the past few days, unsettling thousands of the state's residents. As of 11 a.m. ET Monday the U.S. Geological Survey says that 2,274 people reported feeling a 4.3 magnitude quake Sunday night. There have been at least 16 noticeable earthquakes (above 2.5 in magnitude) observed by the Geologic Survey since Friday, April 6. While nerve-rattling, the quakes are normal for the area — at least since 2009. That's when the problematic quakes began, Jeremy Boak, Director of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, said in an interview.  SEE ALSO: Hey, how about we helicopter grizzly bears into this remote National Park? "It's not out of the ordinary," said Boak. "In the frame of what's been going on, it's normal." Oklahoma's dramatic rise in quakes has been stoked by oil and gas extraction activity in the region.  There have been 8 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 2.5 to 4.6 between Perry and Covington in northern Oklahoma in the past 24 hours. The latest, having a preliminary magnitude of 4.6, occurred at 7:16 CDT this morning. #okquake https://t.co/JwfpIrHgSb pic.twitter.com/UbqUwya6jX — USGS in Oklahoma (@USGS_Oklahoma) April 7, 2018 This quake activity — associated with the "fracking revolution" that has also propelled historically high U.S. oil exports — comes in two forms. The first is fracking itself, an oil extraction process more formally known as "hydraulic fracking." Broadly, this means injecting millions of gallons of water, sand, and a small percentage of chemicals into a deeply-drilled hole. This breaks apart rocks to release oil deposits, sometimes creating earthquakes. But most Oklahoma quakes aren't caused by fracking itself, but by a secondary process called "wastewater injection." After water is used to fracture apart rocks thousands of feet below, it comes back up as "wastewater," and is usually injected back into the ground nearby (the mixture has to go somewhere). Water is extremely heavy, so, this can put pressure on deep-lying faults. And if enough pressure is applied to these cracks in the Earth's crust, they'll rupture and move, causing sizeable quakes.  While a U.S. Geologic Survey spokesperson said it's too early to officially confirm the cause of the northwestern Oklahoma earthquake burst, Boak said it's almost certainly due to wastewater injection. That's the common cause of quakes in this part of northwestern Oklahoma, and generally, has been the prevailing story for years. Earthquakes of 3.0 magnitude or higher measured in Oklahoma as of July 2017.Image: U.S. Geologic survey But, overall, earthquakes have been on the decline in Oklahoma since the especially rattling years of 2014, 2015, and 2016.  The year 2015 saw nearly 900 quakes of 3.0 or higher in Oklahoma (around 2.5 or above is noticeable to most people). For perspective, before 2009, Oklahoma usually recorded one or two quakes of 3.0 magnitude or higher each year. By 2015, earthquake activity peaked for a time at around 4 and a half quakes each day, Boak previously said.  But this year, Boak expects around 200 noticeable quakes to occur in Oklahoma. This recent cluster of quakes, then, is "part of the continuing pattern which in general is declining," he said. There are two major reasons for the decline, said Boak. One is the falling price of oil. This means that oil and gas extraction isn't quite as lucrative as it once was a few years ago (it's a famously boom and bust industry). Accordingly, there's a bit less fracking activity. Oklahoma resident Lisa Griggs believes cracks in her home have been caused by Oklahoma's manmade earthquakes.Image: The Washington Post/Getty ImagesThe second reason is mandatory state requirements that oil and gas companies find ways to reduce quaking. The rattled citizens of Oklahoma made quite clear to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates the gas industry, that the quakes must stop — or at least be limited. "We needed to shut this down and it actually appears to have worked," said Boak. Oil and gas companies accomplish this reduction in a variety of ways, which includes stopping wastewater injections when seismic activity begins. As for Boak, he has still yet to feel one of Oklahoma's big quakes — even though he studies them. He's too far south of most the activity, in the quieter confines of Norman, Oklahoma.  "I've never had the privilege of feeling one of the Oklahoma earthquakes," he said.  WATCH: Scientists found a weird galaxy without dark matter

Russia, the Damascus government's key ally, also said two Israeli F-15 war planes carried out the strikes near Homs in central Syria. Russia's Defence Ministry said Israel conducted the strikes from Lebanese air space, and Syrian air defense systems shot down five out of eight missiles, the Interfax news agency reported.
