| Putin and Saudi Crown Prince got real bro-y at G20 and it's weirding people out Posted: 30 Nov 2018 08:40 AM PST  It's G20 Summit season again, folks, which means it's time for a whole lot of handshakes. On Friday, leaders from around the world gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to discuss global issues, and two close pals — who also happen to be some of the world's most controversial leaders — shared a very memorable handshake. Right before the Russian president Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took their seats next to each other, cameras captured them saying hello, grinning widely, and engaging in quite the shake. Seriously... it looks like the stuff of exclusive BFFs. Both Putin and the Crown Prince have been accused of having journalists killed, and both leaders have made negative headlines in the United States recently. So for many, seeing the handshake and subsequent laughter the two shared was extremely unsettling. And there we have it.

I've been investigating Trump for over two years, so that's saying something. pic.twitter.com/lyQE88mY8d — Scott Dworkin (@funder) November 30, 2018 Trump cancelled his G20 meeting with Putin on Twitter Thursday, amid new revelations from Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen about the president's involvement in Russian business dealings during his campaign. Trump said his reason for cancelling, however, was tied to Russia's refusal to return ships and sailors to Ukraine. And Trump's relationship with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince came under scrutiny this month after the CIA announced it believed Mohammed bin Salman ordered the death of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump received a great deal of backlash for his response to Khashoggi's brutal murder after refusing to condemn the Crown Prince's involvement. In the Summit conference room, Pres Trump also on the other side of the table from Putin and the Crown Prince, who are sitting next to one another. pic.twitter.com/ZJqSI8xBTJ — Mark Knoller (@markknoller) November 30, 2018 Some have noticed Trump seems to be keeping his distance from the two leaders so far, but he will reportedly have a impromptu meeting with Putin at some point before the summit is finished.

| Exclusive: Boeing eyes Lion Air crash software upgrade in 6-8 weeks Posted: 29 Nov 2018 04:26 PM PST  SEATTLE/PARIS (Reuters) - Boeing Co is weighing plans to launch a software upgrade for its 737 MAX in six to eight weeks that would help address a scenario faced by the Lion Air crew during last month's deadly crash in Indonesia, two people briefed on the matter said on Thursday. Crash investigators are focusing on the possibility that a new anti-stall system that repeatedly pushed the Lion Air jetliner's nose down was being fed by erroneous data from a faulty sensor left in place after a previous hazardous flight. Boeing has said cockpit procedures that were applied on the previous flight are already in place to tackle such a problem, and that its 737 series remains safe to fly.

| President cheers as Ukraine on cusp of church independence Posted: 29 Nov 2018 11:15 AM PST  Poroshenko's comments came after the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, home to the global spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians, announced it had drafted a constitutional charter for an "autocephalous", or self-governing, Ukrainian church. Ukraine's push to create an independent church has incensed Moscow at a time of escalating crisis between the two neighbors following Russia's capture of three Ukrainian vessels that Kiev fears may be a precursor to a full-scale invasion. Relations collapsed following Russia's seizure of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and the outbreak of a Kremlin-backed insurgency in eastern Ukraine that has killed more than 10,000 people.
