China send a message to Donald Trump about China flies nuclear bomber over South China Sea

    China has flown a nuclear capable bomber outside its borders in a show of force for the first time since US President-elect Donald Trump's phone call with the president of Taiwan. The 10-minute telephone call with President Tsai Ing-wen was the first by a US president-elect or president since President Jimmy Carter switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China in 1979, acknowledging Taiwan as part of “One China”. It led to protests from Beijing. The Xian H-6 bomber flew along the disputed 'nine-dash line' around the South China Sea on Thursday, US officials told Fox News, passing over a number of disputed islands. The officials said it was designed to send a message to the incoming administration. The Pentagon found out about the flight on Friday and officials said ...

Donald Trump says he’s too smart for daily intelligence briefings

      Donald Trump is doing his best to defend skipping out on intelligence briefings since he won the election last month. It’s been recently reported that the president-elect only receives one intelligence meeting per week and on Sunday he alleged that he's just too smart to receive them daily. I get it when I need it, the 70-year-old said in an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. First of all, these are very good people that are giving me the briefings. And I say, 'If something should change from this point, immediately call me. I'm available on one minute's notice. Last week, Reuters published a report saying that the president-elect was only receiving one briefing per week—far fewer than his predecessors. Still, Trump said that daily briefings wouldn’t ...

Vile neo Nazi group to be banned in UK

    A neo Nazi group set to be banned in the UK has been described by the Home Secretary as racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic. National Action will this week become the first group engaged in extreme right-wing activities to be proscribed under British terrorism laws. It means anyone who is a member or seeks support for the group faces arrest. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said: "I am clear that the safety and security of our families, communities and country comes first. So today I am taking action to proscribe the neo-Nazi group National Action. This will mean that being a member of, or inviting support for, this organisation will be a criminal offence. National Action is a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organisation which stirs up hatred, glorifies violence and promotes ...

May refuses to shut shops on Boxing Day

    Theresa May has refused calls to force all shops to close on Boxing Day, saying it is not the Government’s job to tell businesses how they should run their shows. MPs will hold a Westminster Hall debate on a petition with more than 140,000 signatures calling for a ban on all retail premises opening the day after Christmas, on the basis that it exploits low paid workers. The British Retail Consortium says Boxing Day has been a popular shopping day for years. UK shoppers spent £3.74 billion in the Boxing Day sales in 2015, according to research from VoucherCodes.co.uk and the Centre for Retail Research - a 6 per cent increase on 2014. Labour's Helen Jones, who chairs the Petitions Committee, said the current system of Boxing Day sales exploits lower paid workers and deprives...

This new plane could fly from the UK to New York in 20 minutes

    How great would it be if you could travel to the other side of the Atlantic in the same amount of time it takes you to get to work in the morning? While this sounds like the stuff dreams are made of, those dreams might just become reality soon thanks to the invention of the new Antipode plane, which professes to be capable of transporting passengers from London to New York in TWENTY MINUTES. Seriously, drying my hair takes longer than that. This new plane could fly from the UK to New York in 20 minutesBut the rocket jet could seriously achieve such a feat. As METRO reports, the plane would travel at supersonic speeds after take off, which would probably feel more like blast off, and would ultimately reach an acceleration of a staggering 24 times the speed of sound.

Second Brexit legal case set for Irish courts

    A second legal bid could soon be launched in a bid to derail Brexit, this time in the Irish courts. Jolyon Maugham QC, a barrister who advised Ed Miliband on tax policy and is now campaigning for a second EU referendum, is attempting to raise £70,000 in public donations. He aims to bring an action in the Irish High Court in which he hopes to establish whether an Article 50 notification sent by the UK to Brussels could be overturned at a future date. He is taking on the Irish government, the European Council and the European Commission and he is hoping UK MEPs who want the UK to remain in the EU will spearhead his legal action. The move follows the four-day hearing in the UK Supreme Court on an appeal by the UK Government against a High Court ruling demanding more Article 5...

Jeremy Corbyn considering radical plan to ban petrol car sales

    The bold proposal would mean only zero- or low-carbon vehicles being sold after a set cut-off date, dramatically reducing air pollution and potentially saving thousands of lives. The move would form part of a broader and revolutionary package of measures to transform Britain into a low-carbon nation. Other ideas Mr Corbyn is exploring include smashing the dominance of the “big six” energy firms by allowing any individual who generates electricity to sell it to their neighbours. There is also a proposal for a new system to turbo-charge the upgrading of British homes to make them more energy-efficient, saving people hundreds of pounds on energy bills. The policies would help Mr Corbyn fulfil a pledge to create an energy policy “for the 60 million, not the big six” and make t...

Boris Johnson refuses to apologise for Saudi Arabia about his comments

    A defiant Boris Johnson told friends he had no intention of apologising for his outspoken comments about Saudi Arabia during a trip to the Gulf and hit out at party critics who said he might be better suited to another job in government. The foreign secretary delivered a carefully crafted speech in Bahrain on Friday evening, playing up the economic and strategic links between London and the Gulf States, while allies said he would be “open, honest and moral in his approach” regarding political issues in the region. On Thursday, Johnson was rebuked by Downing Street after it emerged he had accused Saudi Arabia of being among countries engaged in fighting “proxy wars” in the Middle East, breaking the Foreign Office’s convention of not criticising a key UK ally in the region. ...

Russia was trying to help Trump win White House

    The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the US electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter. Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, according to U.S. officials. Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clinton’s chances. It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here was to favor one ca...

Demolition crew destroy wrong house while owner is out at work

    Steve Ballas, a businessman, said he received a call from a friend on Wednesday informing him that his three-bedroom suburban house was being demolished. “I thought he was joking at first,” he told Fairfax Media. “Then I realised he wasn’t and I ran out ... leaving a work colleague in charge.” The mix-up occurred because Mr Ballas’s house was incorrectly numbered as 200 Marion Street in the Sydney suburb of Bankstown, even though his street number is 198. Adding to the confusion, his neighbour was incorrectly numbered as 202. The property before it was demolished “The owner of the [demolition] company was on another job and raced over here when he heard, he was speechless," Mr Ballas said. "He was looking at it and looking at me and I just said there's nothing you can do…n...
