| Hamburg supermarket attacker was 'known Islamist' Posted: 29 Jul 2017 12:29 PM PDT  The suspect who killed a man with a knife in a Hamburg supermarket was a known Islamist with psychological problems but his motives remain unclear, German officials said Saturday. Identified as a 26-year-old Palestinian, he arrived in Germany in 2015 from Norway but was due to be deported as his application for asylum was rejected. Friday's assault risks reopening a bitter debate over refugees two months before general elections, putting pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel over her decision to open Germany's borders in 2015 and let in more than a million asylum seekers.

| Suspected Boko Haram militants issue purported photo of three kidnapped oil survey team members Posted: 28 Jul 2017 01:20 PM PDT  Suspected members of Boko Haram have released a photograph that appears to show three kidnapped members of an oil exploration team in northeastern Nigeria, according to the university whose staff were part of the team and which distributed the image on Friday. The abduction of the oil survey team and a rescue attempt that led to multiple fatalities have led to a U-turn by the government and military, who earlier this month had said Boko Haram were defeated and all but eliminated. The team, which included university staff and employees from Nigeria's state oil firm, was kidnapped by suspected militants from Islamist insurgency Boko Haram while searching for oil in the conflict-ridden northeast on Tuesday.

In late May, the school became the first to reopen in western Mosul, as Iraqi forces pressed a sector-by-sector campaign that would finally this month expel the Islamic State group from the whole of the country's second city. Now they number 650," said Nihad Jassem, an administrative employee at the school in the Mosul al-Jadida district.

| Mountie chasing a bear is the most Canadian thing ever Posted: 29 Jul 2017 10:47 AM PDT  A Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman was captured chasing a black bear from a park in Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta. The young bear can be seen climbing a tree in the park as Sgt. Clayton Wilbern approaches with caution. But the moment the bear begins to retreat, Wilbern jumps into action, chasing the bear from the park in an attempt to scare it off. According to Wilbern, the bear came a little too close to a nearby playground, making the situation more dire. "It was heading towards a playground where there was a whole bunch of kids playing," he told the CBC. "So we tried to get it to go around the playground, which luckily we did.… Hundreds of people were watching us as we were trying to get the poor little guy out." Becuase it's Canada's 150th birthday this year, RCMP officers are often decked out in red serge. "It was very Canadian," said Wilbern. While it's common to see wildlife in the area, this bear manages to get awfully close to the busy downtown area. It's important to keep bears as far from people as possible so they don't get acquainted to interactions, and lose their fear of humans. Bears unafraid of humans can cause serious issues, including food dependencies and possible attacks.

The Senate's Republican leadership suffered a colossal defeat earlier this week when a majority of senators, including members of their own party, rejected multiple proposals aimed at dismantling the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.

| Brand new Ford cars found packed with marijuana… again Posted: 28 Jul 2017 01:04 PM PDT 
If you're in the market for a new vehicle you have a seemingly endless number of cars, trucks, SUVs, and crossovers to choose from. If you fancy a shiny new ride that has been used in a drug smuggling operation, hauling hundreds of pounds of marijuana across the border from Mexico into the United States, you're options are a bit more limited, but Ford has you covered. In the latest episode of what is becoming a troubling-but-hilarious trend for the automotive brand, Ford rail cars packed with new vehicles headed into the US were found to be full of pot — 277 pounds of it, to be exact.
The marijuana was discovered by Ford employees who alerted US customs officials, but the company insists that it can't figure out where the weed came from or who loaded it into their new car shipment. "We are taking this very seriously," Ford said in a statement. "We are working closely with a number of law enforcement agencies on this investigation, including the FBI, Customs, Department of Homeland Security and local police. We cannot comment further as this is an active investigation." What's particularly funny about all of this is that it's not even close to being the first time Ford has had to deal with pot-packed vehicles. Not even two weeks ago, a full $1 million worth of marijuana was discovered inside of new Ford Fusion cars bound for Ohio from Mexico, and earlier this year a whopping $1.4 million worth of pot was found in the spare tire compartment of new Ford Fusions also coming from Mexico. Ford maintains that the pot isn't being packed into their cars at its manufacturing locations or the shipping yards where the vehicles are loaded for transport, suggesting that the shipments are stopping along the way and being crammed full of weed at some other location. Whatever the case, the smuggling operation has to be rather huge if the smugglers can regularly lose millions of dollars worth of pot and still feel confident in repeatedly sending more of it in Ford's new vehicles.

| Al Gore is back in theaters, with a powerful, anti-Trump message on climate change Posted: 29 Jul 2017 06:00 AM PDT  The saddest, most frustrating moment in Al Gore's new climate change movie, An Inconvenient Sequel, involves the lonely former vice president walking into Trump Tower and boarding a golden elevator to meet with the then-president-elect. That scene encapsulates both how far we've come in the climate policy arena, and how far we've fallen backwards in just the past six months. It also hints at a central theme in the film, which casts Donald Trump as just as much of a villain in the climate change story as the major fossil fuel companies that fund climate science disinformation campaigns. SEE ALSO: One of the largest icebergs ever recorded just broke free of Antarctica The Gore-Trump climate meeting was an utter failure, given Trump's subsequent decision to pull the U.S. out of the landmark Paris Climate Agreement. It's an experience that Gore says he's learned from. "I was wrong in believing there was a chance that Donald Trump would come to his senses and stay in the Paris Climate Agreement, and underestimated the influence of the rogue's gallery of climate deniers he has surrounded himself with," Gore said in an interview. Al Gore in Greenland as seen in An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power, from Paramount Pictures and Participant Media.Image: Paramount pictures/participant media"I would make the effort again, but, I mean, under the same circumstances, but it's clear to me now that the chances of him changing on the issue are de minimis at best. And barring some unforeseen set of circumstances I'm not gonna waste any more time at all trying to engage President Trump on climate," he added. Gore's new movie, which comes 10 years after the Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth hit theaters, is more subdued and workman-like than the first film. It accurately reflects the transformation of the climate movement into one akin to the civil rights movement: A long, hard slog that will ultimately prevail. The film also focuses on the extreme weather events that scientists are increasingly tying to climate change. In the film and in the interview, Gore passionately makes the case that the costs of solar and wind power are plummeting, providing a viable alternative to coal-fired power plants in the U.S. and elsewhere. Unlike in the first movie, he isn't here to scare anyone, but rather to offer hope. In the interview, for example, he hinted that Trump may not even be president for a full term, given the scandals and chaos swirling around him. A lot has changed since the first film, Gore said. "...There have been two big changes since the first movie a decade ago. Number one: The climate-related extreme weather events are far more common and far more severe all over the world. And number two: The solutions are here now. A decade ago they were visible on the horizon, but now they're here," he said. (Gore had been criticized by some for not including enough information on climate change solutions in his first film.) "In many regions, electricity from solar and wind, for example, is cheaper from electricity from dirty fossil fuel, and before long, that will be the case in the vast majority of locations throughout the world," Gore said. "And it's important to give that hopeful news to people even as the sense of urgency about solving the climate crisis increases." The movie also shows Gore in a role that largely went unnoticed by the press covering the negotiations that produced the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. He served as a behind-the-scenes fixer trying to move reluctant nations, particularly India, toward a "yes" vote on a new climate treaty. The new movie doesn't have the same punch as the first film, which helped reinvent Gore as an eco-warrior. It lacks the revelatory quality that the first film had, given that the first film re-introduced a public figure that had largely faded from view after his bitter election loss to George W. Bush in 2000. Chances are that you'll go into the movie already knowing who Gore is, what he's about, and what he's been up to. So, there's not much mystery about the main character of this documentary. But that doesn't mean there aren't high stakes involved here. As Gore makes clear, the more scientists know about climate change, the more concerned they are about just how fast the climate is responding to our greenhouse gas emissions resulting from burning fossil fuels. The film wisely casts Trump as a villain, and ends with Trump's announcement that the U.S. will pull out of the Paris Agreement. In the film, we see Gore travel to the Greenland Ice Sheet during the summer melt season, peering down as water pours deep into an open wound-like chasm on the ice, known as a moulin. Then there's Gore in India, making the point to the nation's energy minister and lead climate negotiator that the way that country has been expanding electricity access is literally obscuring the sun with pollution. The film culminates with the Paris Climate Change negotiations in 2015 and Gore's behind-the-scenes role in brokering some of the side deals that allowed countries to come together to adopt the agreement. Some of these scenes are rather droll, unless you have a keen interest in solar panel technology. But for climate geeks, activists, and diplomacy nerds, this film is a gold mine. The same goes for anyone vehemently opposed to Trump's pro-pollution agenda. The crowd at a New York screening I attended was eager to lash out at Trump. When the text appeared informing the audience of Trump's Paris Agreement move, it was met with so many boo's and hisses you'd have thought Lord Voldemort had appeared on screen. For these folks, Gore offers hope as well, strongly hinting that Trump may not last for a full four-year term. "... None of us know how long Donald Trump is going to be president," Gore said. "I'm not predicting any kind of near-term denouement, but voices in his own party questioning his leadership have begun to get louder." But beyond that, Gore is still hopeful that people will find ways to combat climate change in spite of the political climate, adding that, "even when things look bleak and dark, there is always room for hope."

| British ex-soldier arrested in Turkey and accused of fighting alongside Kurdish rebels Posted: 29 Jul 2017 05:55 AM PDT  A British ex-soldier has been arrested by Turkish authorities for suspected terrorism offences while holidaying on the country's western coast. The man, named locally as 'Joseph A.R.', was detained in the Aegean holiday resort town of Didim, in Aydin province, on Friday, on charges of working with a Kurdish militia Ankara classified as a terror group, state media said. Joseph Robinson Credit: Joseph Robinson/Facebook A Bulgarian citizen detained was allowed by the court to go free under judicial control. The man was identified as ex-soldier Joe Robinson, 24, from Leeds, and the Bulgarian as his fiancee Mira Rojkan, by the BBC. Her mother, who was also detained, was later freed without charge. Robinson was arrested after posting pictures on social media allegedly showing himself in camouflage gear taking part in Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) operations in Syria, according to the government-backed Anadolu agency.

However, the United States government regards the YPG - the main fighting force on the ground in Syria against the Islamic State group - as a key ally. The US is now openly arming the YPG and the group is heavily involved in the US-backed operation to remove IS jihadists from their stronghold of Raqa.

| Grandpas smoking weed for the first time is as hilarious as it sounds Posted: 29 Jul 2017 11:27 AM PDT  Thanks to a handful of states legalizing recreational cannabis in recent years, people can finally consume marijuana after decades of prohibition. While cannabis consumption laws were widely ignored, there are some people out there that never tried the sticky icky, and Cut Video has been doing an excellent job of documenting their first experiences. This time, the team rounded up a few grandpas, following the success of a similar video which documented a few grandmothers getting high for the first time. In the clip, the men try out various devices, including a bong, joint, and a PAX vaporizer. After getting high they do some normal stoner activities, like eat some snacks, talk about life, and play with a fidget spinner. The best part of the clip is watching Graham, who took a huge bong rip in the beginning and was totally blitzed out of his mind the entire video.

Since coming to power in 2012, the president has trumpeted the need to build a stronger combat-ready military, while leading efforts to centralise the Communist Party's control over it.
