Putin claimed a new nuclear missile had unlimited range

    Russian President Vladimir Putin bragged earlier this year that his country had a new nuclear-powered missile with unlimited range but it has yet to perform a successful test over multiple attempts, according to sources with direct knowledge of a U.S. intelligence report on the weapons program. The cruise missile was tested four times between November and February, each resulting in a crash, according to sources who spoke to CNBC on the condition of anonymity. The U.S. assessed that the longest test flight lasted just more than two minutes, with the missile flying 22 miles before losing control and crashing. The shortest test lasted four seconds and flew for five miles. One report, according to the sources, did not mention health or environmental risks posed by dam...

Sweden tells citizens how to prepare for war

    Sweden is sending an updated version of a Cold War era advice booklet on how to cope with an outbreak of war to around 4.8 million households. The 20 page pamphlet, titled If Crisis or War Comes, contains advice about where to find bomb shelters and how to secure basic necessities such as food, clean water and heat. It tells Swedes they have a duty to act if their country is threatened for total defence, and was first published during the Second World War and subsequently during the Cold War.

Newlyweds preferred tattoos instead of traditional rings

And the ring finger is not the only digit to get the wedding tattoo treatment - couples on social media are showing off their #weddingtattoos on thumbs, even wrists. For the most part, the tattoos are dainty, with the majority of couples opting for a few lines of ink or a symbol of their love, such as the eternity symbol. ...

Is Trump getting cold feet about the North Korea summit

    President Trump, increasingly concerned that his summit meeting in Singapore next month with North Korea’s leader could turn into a political embarrassment, has begun pressing his aides and allies about whether he should take the risk of proceeding with a historic meeting that he had leapt into accepting, according to administration and foreign officials. Trump was both surprised and angered by a statement issued Wednesday by the North’s chief nuclear negotiator, who declared that the country would never trade away its nuclear weapons capability in exchange for economic aid, administration officials said. The statement, while a highly familiar tactic by the North, represented a jarring shift in tone after weeks of conciliatory gestures. On Thursday and Friday, Trum...

UK planning own space programme after dispute with EU

    Britain is to review its contribution to the EU’s Galileo satellite programme and plan for alternative systems in this crucial area, Gavin Williamson has said as he announced the launch of the UK’s first Defence Space Strategy. The move follows an increasingly bitter dispute between Whitehall and Brussels over the access the UK, the European Union’s biggest spender on defence, will have to the bloc’s satellite navigation project after it leaves the EU. Britain is a world leader in the space industry and our defence scientists and military personnel have played a central role in the development of the EU’s Galileo satellite programme alongside British companies, so it is important we also review our contribution and how we plan for alternative systems in this crucial...

Fasting diets may raise risk of diabetes

    Popular fasting diets involve going without food for two days a week, or every other day. Fasting every other day to lose weight could have damaging side effects. That is the conclusion of a group of scientists speaking this weekend at the European Society of Endocrinology’s annual meeting. Their findings suggest that fasting-based diets may impair the action of sugar-regulating hormone insulin, and lead to increased risk of diabetes. Care should be taken before starting such programmes, say researchers. Ana Bonassa, whose team from the University of São Paulo in Brazil carried out the study, said: This is the first study to show that, despite weight loss, intermittent fasting diets may actually damage the pancreas and affect insulin function in normal healthy indi...
