| Instagram fitness model removed from American Airlines flight after 'humiliating' row Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:37 AM PST  An Instagram fitness model was "humiliated" after being removed from an American Airlines flight following a row with staff. Jen Setler, who has 11 million followers on Instagram, posted footage of her arguing with a pilot and a flight attendant on the delayed flight from Miami to New York on 27 January. "I did nothing wrong but got kicked off the plane," she wrote, adding she had the "worst experience" following a delay which left the aircraft stuck on the runway for two hours. The 24-year-old claims she and her sister were told to leave the aircraft following a disagreement with a male attendant when she got up to put her coat away and stretch her legs. She argues that two other passengers had been allowed to go to the bathroom when she stood up, adding she was being sarcastic after responding "yeah" when asked by the attendant, "Do you want to get kicked off the plane?"

| Moscow is out-manoeuvring the West and becoming a real threat to our stability Posted: 27 Jan 2018 10:00 PM PST  In a bid to persuade the Treasury to cough up more for his department, Gavin Williamson, the new Secretary for Defence, painted a nightmare scenario last week. As our world leaders gathered in Davos, he asserted that Russia was in a position to launch an attack on our critical national infrastructure (CNI) that could claim many thousands of British lives. Mr. Williamson correctly identified that Russia is back with a vengeance on the global strategic stage. Indeed, Moscow has all but eclipsed the West in Syria and he is undoubtedly right in assuming that Russian has the capability of attacking our CNI – that is the networked structures which underpins our utilities, telecoms, transport and financial systems. Yet the minister does not fully grasp Russia's strategic priorities in Europe. Russia doesn't seek to kill the golden goose – it wants to see it fat, indolent and weak. In essence, Russia wants to see Europe and the UK's dependency on its oil and gas grow. It currently supplies a third of the EU's gas and oil imports, including a growing proportion of Britain's. Moscow is determined to push through this economic priority in Europe despite the extensive financial and commercial sanctions which the EU and the US imposed since the Ukrainian crisis began in 2014. It knows very well that Germany and Italy are especially dependent on Russian energy and their business communities are continuing to push for a relaxation of sanctions. So, by holding his nerve, Mr. Putin can relax and enjoy how the world looks through the windows of the Kremlin. Certainly, neither he nor his most senior colleagues felt it necessary to join the cavalcade of presidents and prime ministers making their way up the Magic Mountain in Davos. And why would they? Russia is confidently dictating the course of European and Middle Eastern geopolitics. At every turn, Moscow is out-manoeuvring the West and becoming a real threat to our stability. Yet remarkably, it is doing this despite a lamentably weak economy. In 2017 the Russian economy was a tenth of the size of the US economy and only half that of Britain's. And Russia's defence budget is six times smaller than the US's and a tenth of NATO's. Its GDP has declined astonishingly from $2.1 trillion in 2013 to $1.1 trillion last year. Yet for all this, its global and military influence is rising inexorably. How has this happened? When I was researching McMafia, my book about the globalization of organised crime, I visited Moscow and St. Petersburg several times from 2004 to 2006. I noticed that officials, whether policemen, customs officials or FSB personnel, had regained some of the swagger that I knew well from Soviet times. In their eyes, individuals, whether foreigners or locals, were inferior entities whose role was to obey the state not to question it. The global crime thriller McMafia, which is taken from the book researched and written by Misha Glenny Putin's determination to restore a degree of authoritarianism in Russia was not unpopular. The 1990s had seen the economic certainties of the Soviet system replaced by the volatile and violent roller coaster of gangster capitalism. At the time, oligarchs like the late Boris Berezovsky and organized crime groups effectively controlled the then President, Boris Yeltsin. The newly formed FSB was a pale shadow of its predecessor, the KGB, while ordinary Russians became deeply impoverished. In order to restore the authority of the FSB, Putin flipped all this on its head. In a series of carefully choreographed moves, the state re-established its authority of the oligarchs and the gangsters. They would now do Putin and the FSB's bidding – not the other way around. This strategy involved building on anti-Western sentiment. In the popular mind, gangster capitalism had been promoted and sponsored by the West. If the 1990s had left the Russian military in an atrocious state; humiliated in Chechnya, riddled with corruption and criminality, and ill-suited to the strategic challenges of the new century, the past decade has been one of renewed strength and sense of power and purpose. Russian defence planners have not been idle. In a landmark assessment of Russia's capability last year, the US Defense Intelligence Agency noted how the Ukraine conflict in 2014 made NATO sit up and think. 'The operation gave the world its first look at a military that appeared surprisingly disciplined and well-equipped…Ukrainian forces have stressed the capabilities of the Russian units, especially with respect to command and control, artillery firepower and air defense.' Ukrainian army soldiers ride a tank on a road near where pro-Russian separatists fired heavy artillery A year earlier, Russia's top general, Valery Gerasimov, had formulated what became known as the Gerasimov doctrine. The commander was frank that Russia could not maintain parity in conventional weapons or indeed in AI and robotics with the West. Somehow Russia had to compensate for the imbalance. "The role of non-military means…has exceeded the power of the force of weapons" he wrote, adding that Russia would now have to focus on "military means of a concealed character, including the implementation of informational conflict." Gerasimov identified the vulnerabilities in Western defences. But these were political and not military. So, for relatively little investment, Russia supported movements which could potentially destabilise the West - either – either through hacking groups like Fancy Bears, responsible for breaking into the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta's email account; or through bot nets supporting the populism movements; or, in the case of France's FN, by loaning them money. This has all contributed to a sense of chaos and confusion of politics in the US and across the European Union, at very little cost to themselves. The last thing Putin and his friends need is to make the journey to Switzerland merely to hear lectures from the West about Russia's perfidious behaviour. At a glance | Sanctions against Russia Instead, the Kremlin is letting others talk, while Russia continues to fashion Syria's future on the ground. President Bashar Al-Assad is now closing in on victory thanks to sustained Russian military assistance. Meanwhile, the weakness of the United States and its allies are repeatedly exposed. Last week witnessed a particularly humiliating episode. Washington's NATO ally, Turkey, launched an offensive into Syrian territory with the aim of throttling the YPG, the Syrian Kurdish force that, in coordination with the US military, had played such an important role in defeating ISIS. Washington, unwilling to break with Istanbul, looked away and muttered something under its breath as the Kurds felt the full force of what they consider American betrayal. Moscow, by contrast, offered vocal support to President Erdogan, driving the wedge between Istanbul and Washington still further. Vladimir Putin may be a ruthless KGB officer who uses the full might of the Russian state to remain in power. But as a practitioner of global statecraft, he has no equal these days. Even Angela Merkel who understands Putin like no other western leader is struggling to stay afloat politically. And it is the West's political divisions that are key to Russia's success, critically weakening its ability to develop coherent coordinated policies both in Ukraine and the Middle East. The KGB/FSB has been building its file on Trump since he first visited Moscow in 1987 The KGB/FSB has been building its file on Trump since he first visited Moscow in 1987 and Special Council, Robert Mueller's probe will reveal the extent to which Russian Organised Crime may have used his properties to launder money. But whether Trump is able or willing to lift sanctions against Russia is in some respects unimportant (the sanctions regime is driven by Congress rather than the President). It is the disruption to Western power from within, leading to the collapse of any strategic vision on the part of NATO from which Russia is now deriving its strength. And the Kremlin's recent embrace of China means that if the West is unable to extract itself from its current internal chaos, it is Beijing and Moscow who will shape the post-Cold War world, not the Western victors in that conflict. While the Russians said that Gavin Williamson had lost his 'grasp on reason' over his claim of an attack threat, he was right in saying that they have the power to influence the world in an entirely novel way. And they know what they are doing.

In fact, Valery Asapov was a Russian general working undercover.

| Belgium's exploding wild boar population must go on the pill, demands exasperated mayor Posted: 29 Jan 2018 05:20 AM PST  Belgium's exploding wild boar population is causing so much havoc that local politicians have demanded the rampaging beasts be put on the pill. With the potentially dangerous animals straying closer and closer to family homes, one local mayor has demanded the sex-mad boar be given contraceptives to curb their numbers. Wild boar were extinct for 50 years in Flanders but, since their reintroduction in 2006, the population has grown apace and wreaked havoc. The feral hogs are blamed for spreading disease, causing car accidents and agricultural damage. Maurice Webers is the socialist mayor of Beringen in Limberg, a north-eastern province of Belgium that has been plagued by the porcine menace. He demanded that special feeding zones for the boar be created and for contraceptives to be mixed into the food in what he called "an elegant and animal-friendly solution". "I have already suggested several times to the competent authorities that they plan feeding sites," he told the VRT TV channel, "but I have not yet received a reply." About | Wild boar "For the moment, there are really a lot of wild boars coming near the houses. That's why I would like to take steps to limit the number of boars," Mr Webers added. But the mayor's plan suffers from one major drawbacks, Thomas Scheppers of the Flemish Institute for Forest and Nature Studies said. "If you mix the pill with food, you don't know if the wild boar will eat the right amount. And we want to avoid that," he said before pointing out other animals could also eat the contraceptive food. British researchers are studying boar contraception and favour injections. "This method is more respectful of animals than having them killed by hunters," said Mr Scheppers. "We look forward to the results of the British study." The Flemish landscape changed over the 50 years boar were extinct in Flanders, turning into a densely packed mosaic of agricultural and urban areas, which has led to frequent clashes with humans. In the Limberg region in November, on a single highway and in a single evening, 14 wild boar were struck by traffic. While the drivers were unhurt, the animals were not so lucky. Wildlife fences along the motorway have proved useless against the plague with wily boar crawling underneath them. The Natuurhelpcentrum animal shelter gets a call every week about a boar being killed somewhere in Limberg. "There are now too many of them. Some hunters have a great responsibility here, because they released the first wild boars in Limburg. Now we have the problems. It is a matter of time until the first death," said Sil Jannssen of the Natuurhelpcentrum. Boar are causing such widespread damage to crops in Belgium that academics are using drones and computer algorithms to calculate the cost to farmers. The feral pigs either root up grassland, leaving soil strewn around, or roll over in cornfields breaking them at the stem. The University of Antwerp estimates the cost of compensating farmers costs hundreds of thousands of euros a year but Belgium has not monitored the damage to agriculture – until now. Anneleen Rutten, a PHD student at Antwerp university, has pioneered a drone-based method to estimate the cost in a fast, standardised and accurate way. Traditionally such damage is estimated by teams of flat-footed experts trudging through fields rather than the far zippier and cheaper drones. "I connect my smartphone to the remote controller of my drone which allows me to see the camera visualisation of the drone," said Ms Rutten, who is yet to catch a boar in the act on one of her unmanned flights. The damage is obvious on the drone's camera, which picks up the holes in cornfields and the uprooted soil on grassland. The drone snaps a flurry of photographs which are combined into a large single image of the field. That image is fed into a computer and an algorithm, shown to be about 94 percent accurate, evaluates the damage. While attacks on humans are rare, two aggressive wild boar attacked and injured several people in the small German town of Heide in October, tearing through the town centre in an hours-long rampage. Four people were injured, and one man's fingertip was torn off, according to police reports.
