| S. Korea's ex-president Park given eight more years in prison Posted: 20 Jul 2018 12:38 AM PDT  Disgraced former South Korean president Park Geun-hye was convicted of charges including illegally receiving funds from the country's spy agency on Friday and given eight more years in prison, on top of her current term. Park, the South's first female president, was impeached last year after huge street protests over a sprawling scandal, and was jailed for 24 years for corruption and abuse of power in April. Friday's penalty -- issued in her absence after she refused to attend the Seoul Central District Court -- came after a separate trial for pocketing money from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and improperly intervening in 2016 in the selection of her ruling party's parliamentary candidates.

| Spiky Utah dinosaur had more than 'a face only a mother could love' Posted: 19 Jul 2018 10:06 AM PDT  With its head and snout covered in bony armor shaped like cones and pyramids, a spiky tank-like dinosaur unearthed in southern Utah was not just another pretty face. Scientists on Thursday announced the discovery of fossils of a dinosaur named Akainacephalus johnsoni that lived 76 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period. It was a four-legged, armour-studded plant-eater with a menacing club at the end of its tail. It was a member of a dinosaur group called ankylosaurs, among the most heavily armored animals ever on Earth - and for good reason, considering the predators around at the time. The unique shape and arrangement of its head and snout armor may be its most intriguing trait, the researchers said, giving clues about the Asian ancestry of some of the ankylosaurs that roamed western North America near the end of the dinosaur era. Akainacephalus johnsoni Credit: Reuters "Someone once told me that Akainacephalus, and ankylosaurs in general, were quite ugly and had a face only a mother could love. I must say that I wholeheartedly disagree. These are quite extraordinary and beautiful animals," said paleontologist Jelle Wiersma of James Cook University in Australia. Akainacephalus was a medium-sized ankylosaur, about 16 feet (5 meters) long, with a short boxy head covered in bony armor and a beak and small teeth for cropping vegetation, said paleontologist Randall Irmis of the Natural History Museum of Utah and the University of Utah. It had a short neck and wide torso, walked on four short stout legs, and may have whacked predators with its bony tail club. It inhabited a warm, humid environment similar to southern Louisiana's bayous, with slow-moving streams and rivers and associated swamps. The largest predators were the 30-foot-long (9-meter-long) Tyrannosaurus rex cousin Teratophoneus and 42-foot-long (13-meter-long) crocodilian Deinosuchus. The extensive skeletal remains, including a complete skull, were excavated in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Akainacephalus, as well as a cousin called Nodocephalosaurus that lived in New Mexico a couple million years later, possessed spiky head armor similar to Asian members of this dinosaur group. Other related North American dinosaurs such as Ankylosaurus had relatively flat armor covering the head. This indicates Akainacephalus and Nodocephalosaurus were close kin to Asian ankylosaurs and that multiple emigration events involving this group occurred from Asia to North America late in the Cretaceous Period, the researchers said. This resulted in two distinct lineages in North America of club-tailed ankylosaurs. The research was published in the scientific journal PeerJ.

The bill, backed by the right-wing government, passed through parliament after months of political argument and some Arab lawmakers shouted and ripped up their papers after the vote. "This is a defining moment in the annals of Zionism and the history of the state of Israel," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset.

| Rescued Thai football boys pray at Buddhist temple as they begin first day back home Posted: 19 Jul 2018 04:23 AM PDT  The Thai football boys and their coach began their first day back home with their families since they were rescued from a flooded cave with a trip to a Buddhist temple on Thursday to pray for protection from misfortunes. The 11 boys and the coach kneeled and pressed their hands in prayer to the tune of chanting monks. They were joined by relatives and friends at the Wat Pra That Doi Wao temple, overlooking Myanmar on Thailand's northern border. The remaining member of the Wild Boars football team - Adul Sargon - is not a Buddhist and did not attend the ceremony, meant to extend one's life and protect it from dangers. The team has already said they would ordain as Buddhist novices to honour a former Thai navy SEAL diver who died in the cave while making preparations for their rescue. On Wednesday evening, the boys and coach faced the media for the first time since their ordeal, describing their surprise at seeing two British divers rising from muddy waters in the recesses of the cave. It would be another week before they were pulled out of the Tham Luang cave. Members of the rescued football team take part in a religious ceremony Credit: AP "We weren't sure if it was for real," 14-year-old Adul said. "So we stopped and listened. And it turned out to be true. I was shocked." In one poignant and emotional moment at the news conference, a portrait was displayed of Saman Gunan, the Thai diver who died. One of the boys, 11-year-old Chanin "Titan" Vibulrungruang, the youngest of the group, covered his eyes as if wiping away a tear. "I feel sad. And another thing is I'm really impressed with Sgt. Sam for sacrificing his life for all 13 Wild Boars to be able to live our lives outside happily and normally," he said. "When we found out, everyone was sad. Extremely sad, like we were the cause of this that made the sergeant's family sad and having to face problems." The Wild Boars had entered the cave on June 23 for what was to be a relaxing excursion after football practice. But rain began, and water soon filled the cavern, cutting off their escape, and they huddled on a patch of dry ground deep inside the cave. Coach Ekapol "Ake" Chanthawong said the trip was meant to last one hour, simply because "each of us wanted to see what was inside." The boys hold a portrait of Saman Gunan, the Thai SEAL diver who died during their rescue Credit: AP When the hour was up, they were pretty deep inside and already had swum through some flooded areas in the spirit of adventure. But in turning back, he discovered the way was not at all clear, and he swam ahead to scout the route, attaching a rope to himself so the boys could pull him back if necessary. He said he had to be pulled out. Ekapol said he told the boys: "We cannot go out this way. We have to find another way." The boys told reporters of their reactions at that point. "I felt scared. I was afraid I wouldn't get to go home and my mum would scold me, said Mongkol Boonpiam, 13, prompting laughter. Ekarat Wongsukchan, 14, said they decided "to calm ourselves first, to try to fix the problem and find a way out. Be calm and not shocked." The group had taken no food with them and survived by drinking water that dripped from the cave walls, Ekapol said, adding that all the boys knew how to swim, which had been a concern for rescuers. The boys inside the cave Credit: AP Titan said he tried hard not to think about food. "When I'm starving, I don't think of food otherwise it'd make me more hungry." Adul said they were digging around the spot when they heard the voices and Ekapol called for silence. He recounted how Ekapol told them to "'quickly get down there, that's the sound of a person, or else they're going to pass on by,' something like that." But he said his teammate holding the flashlight was scared, so Adul told him "If you're not going to go, then I'll go." "So I quickly took the flashlight, and quickly went down, and I greeted them, 'hello,'" Adul added. Psychologists had vetted the journalists' questions in advance to avoid bringing up any aspects of the rescue that might disturb them. The dangers of the complicated operation, in which the boys were extracted in three separate missions with diving equipment and pulleys through the tight passageways, were not discussed. Doctors said the 13 were physically and mentally healthy. Although they lost an average of nine pounds during the more than two weeks they were trapped in the cave, they have since gained about six and a half pounds on average since their rescue. They were treated for minor infections. The team bow before novice Buddhist monks during the ceremony Credit: AFP Asked what he had learned from their experience, 13-year-old Mongkol Boonpiam said he felt stronger. "I have more patience, endurance, tolerance," he said. Adul said it had taught him "not to live life carelessly." While many of the boys wanted to be pro football players when they grow up, at least four of them said they hope to become navy SEALs, so they could help others. All expressed their apologies to their families. "I wanted to apologise to my parents. I know that I will get yelled at by mum when I get home," said Pornchai Kamluang, 16. Ekarat said sheepishly he wanted to apologise to his parents because while he told them he was going to a cave, he told them the wrong one. "I told them I was going to Tham Khun Nam," he said. "I didn't tell them I went to Tham Luang. So I was wondering how they found us at the right cave."

| Trump questions if US should defend 'aggressive' Montenegro in blow to key Nato principle Posted: 19 Jul 2018 01:13 AM PDT  President Donald Trump drew fresh criticism on Wednesday for calling NATO's undergirding principle into question and for attacking "tiny" Montenegro, whose accession to the alliance enraged Moscow. Trump's comments, which a former US ambassador to NATO decried as a "gift to Putin," came in an interview with Fox News when he was asked about Article 5, NATO's common defense clause which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all. "Why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack?" Fox host Tucker Carlson asked. Trump responded: "I understand what you're saying. I've asked the same question." "Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people... They're very aggressive people. They may get aggressive, and congratulations, you're in World War III," he added. Trump vs Putin: anatomy of an underhanded handshake Montenegro said on Thursday said it "contributes to peace and stability not only on the European continent but worldwide" in response to claims its people are aggressive. In a composed statement, it added: "In today's world, it does not matter how big or small you are, but to what extent you cherish the values of freedom, solidarity and democracy. "Therefore, the friendship and the alliance of Montenegro and the United States of America is strong and permanent." Montenegro, a former Yugoslav republic with a population of about 630,000, joined NATO last year, becoming is 29th member. Its military only numbers about 2,000 personnel. The only time Article 5 was ever invoked was by America after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks conducted by al-Qaeda. Nearly 17 years on, NATO troops are still operating in Afghanistan after the US-led invasion seeking retribution for the nation's harboring of the terror group. Mr Trump said if Montenegro became aggressive then 'congratulations, you're in World War III' Credit: Andrew Harnik/AP "Trump sows further doubt whether the US under his leadership would defend our allies. Another gift to Putin," Nicholas Burns, who was US ambassador to NATO after the 9/11 attacks, wrote on Twitter. Senior Republican leader Senator John McCain, who has called Monday's summit with President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki a "tragic mistake," said Trump was doing exactly what the Russian strongman wanted. "The people of #Montenegro boldly withstood pressure from #Putin's Russia to embrace democracy," McCain said on Twitter. "The Senate voted 97-2 supporting its accession to #NATO. By attacking Montenegro & questioning our obligations under NATO, the President is playing right into Putin's hands." But State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Trump has been unequivocal in his support of NATO's collective defense. "The summit declaration that came out at the end of the summit stated clearly that any attack against one ally would be regarded as an attack against all," Nauert told reporters. Trump and Putin | In talks Montenegro's relations with Russia have deteriorated in recent years as the Balkan nation moved to join NATO. It also hopes to join the European Union, much to the dismay of Putin, who sees the West perennially creeping toward Russia. Moscow has been accused of meddling in Montenegro's elections, and a failed 2016 coup was allegedly planned by pro-Russian militants. Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, called Trump's remarks "extraordinary." "It is not just that the president throws Montenegro under the bus; he makes the US commitment to NATO conditional and makes clear his discomfort w Article 5 and collective security, the core of the alliance," Haass wrote on Twitter. With such a small military, it is difficult to know what Trump was referring to when he called Montenegro's people "very aggressive." Rob Crilly: How Vladimir Putin finally found Donald Trump's red line The Pentagon did not immediately comment. Some observers derided Trump's claim that Montenegro is aggressive, re-circulating online a video of last year's NATO summit where the US president appeared to shove Montenegro's prime minister aside at a photo shoot. Doug Bandow, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, said Trump's comments more likely reflected his anger at NATO than any particular Russian concerns about Montenegro. Trump has repeatedly railed against NATO, accusing its members of not doing enough to fund their militaries and an over-reliance on America. "It raises a proper question, which is has NATO become kind of a welfare agency as opposed to a security agency'" Bandow told AFP. "I don't quite understand the notion that the Montenegrins are so aggressive and with their two thousand men military that are likely to start World War III." Bandow noted that Montenegro joined NATO on Trump's watch. "This president allowed that to move forward last year. So if you allow it to happen, why are you complaining about it?" Bandow said.
