| Russia fears leak of hypersonic missile secrets to West as security services searches space agency Posted: 20 Jul 2018 03:19 PM PDT  Russia's FSB security services raided a top space research centre Friday as part of an investigation into staff alleged to have passed secret information on Moscow's hypersonic missile programme to the West. The raid took place on the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (TsNIIMash), which is the Russian space agency Roscosmos's in-house think tank. Sources told the Kommersant daily newspaper that the probe was over "high treason," with around 10 people suspected of "cooperation with Western secret services." Vladimir Ustimenko, a Roscosmos spokesman, confirmed the search to the newspaper and said the agency was providing maximum assistance to the security services. The search came just one day after the Defense Ministry published several videos of new weapons systems - two of which were Russia's publicly acknowledged hypersonic missile projects. The general features of these weapons, known as Avangard and Burevestnik, have been publicly known since March, when they were announced by President Vladimir Putin. It was not immediately clear what information might have been leaked, with investigators telling Kommersant and other outlets that information on hypersonic projects was revealed to "western intelligence services." TsNIIMash is not a military outfit, but Kommersant reports it was involved in some capacity with hypersonic missile research conducted by the Tactical Missile Corporation, a different company. According to unidentified security sources, "it has been established that the leak occurred from employees of TsNIIMash." Those employees, Kommersant reported, were in contact with a former TsNIIMash employee, Dmitry Payson, who now works for Roscosmos. Outside the Central Research Institute of Machine Building (TsNIIMash) under the Roscosmos State Corporation responsible for Russian space industry development Credit: Anton Novoderezhkin/TASS Mr Payson, a soft spoken rocket scientist with thick graying hair, is well known within the Russian - and international - space communities. Roscosmos is the main international partner of Nasa, and Payson often attended international scientific conferences. Asked by RBC for comment, he asked not to be named in connection with the investigation. The news shocked the Russian space community. One well-read industry blogger, Vitaly Egorov, wrote on Facebook that Payson "is one of the most literate experts of Russia's space industry ... for me, the ultimate assessment of the quality of a post was whether Dmitry held it. "I don't believe for a minute he was leaking information, he's too smart for that." The FSB has not released any statement on the investigation.

| Cuba's new constitution would allow same-sex marriages Posted: 21 Jul 2018 11:22 AM PDT  The new constitution being debated this weekend by Cuban legislators would provide a legal path for same-sex marriage, an important demand of the socialist island's LGBT community. The document's Article 68 would define marriage as the "voluntary and consensual union between two people" without specifying their biological sex, the official newspaper Granma said Saturday, reporting on National Assembly debates over the proposed changes in Cuba's basic law. The change would "open the door to legalizing homosexual couples for all posterity," Francisco Rodriguez, a journalist and well-known gay activist who is also a member of the governing Communist Party, wrote in his blog.

| Clinton: Trump-Putin a 'mystery', Russia may attack election infrastructure Posted: 21 Jul 2018 05:40 PM PDT  Hillary Clinton has criticized Donald Trump's performance at the Helsinki summit earlier this week, calling his failure to tackle Vladimir Putin over Russian interference in the 2016 US election "deeply disturbing" and a "mystery". Speaking at OzyFest – a festival of talks and music – in Central Park, New York on Saturday, Clinton also said Russian agents were targeting the November midterm elections in a renewed attempt to disrupt US democracy, and could this time attack election infrastructure such as "the servers you send results to" and "the operations of voting machines". Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3m ballots in the popular vote in 2016, but lost in the electoral college.

| Some countries buying Russian gear deserve sanctions waivers: Mattis Posted: 20 Jul 2018 11:11 PM PDT  US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Friday spoke in support of waivers for sanctions being imposed against nations buying military gear from Russia. The move comes amid concerns that imposing sanctions, particularly in the case of India and other Asian allies, could threaten friendly relationships that the US has been working to bolster in recent years. India, the world's top defense importer, has purchased Russian military hardware and expertise for decades, and has been in talks with Moscow to buy S-400 long range surface-to-air missile systems.

| Trump on Putin meeting: it wasn't all rosy Posted: 20 Jul 2018 12:09 PM PDT  By Doina Chiacu WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump defended his efforts to build a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview broadcast on Friday, having invited the Russian leader for a second meeting despite an uproar over their first. Trump's administration has sought to control the damage from their private meeting and news conference Monday in Helsinki, where Trump astonished the world and drew sharp criticism at home by siding with Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies on Moscow's meddling in the 2016 election. As the White House tried to put some distance between the two leaders, Trump made a jarring move in the opposite direction on Thursday, offering to host Putin in the autumn.

The law adopted by Israel's parliament on Thursday also defines the establishment of Jewish communities as being in the national interest and downgrades Arabic from an official language to one with special status. Citing a Saudi foreign ministry source, the official Saudi Press Agency said late Friday the kingdom "rejects and disapproves" of the new legislation which it argued contradicts international law.

| People are petitioning to drink the mummy juice from the probably cursed sarcophagus Posted: 20 Jul 2018 11:50 AM PDT  It's with heavy hearts that we must share this news: people want to drink the cursed mummy water from the mystery sarcophagus. The sarcophagus was unearthed during a construction dig in Alexandria, Egypt, and opened earlier this week. Considering its size, nondescript black exterior, and the fact that it was buried with a giant alabaster head, the internet was convinced that it contained some kind of demonic being or ancient hex. But when authorities opened it, they just found three soggy mummies stewing in red sewage water. SEE ALSO: Unfortunately opening the ancient Egyptian sarcophagus didn't unleash curse on us According to Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri, "The sarcophagus has been opened, but we have not been hit by a curse." But the saga of the mystery sarcophagus isn't over. A Change.org petition wants authorities to "let people drink the red liquid from the dark sarcophagus." At the time of writing, the petition had more than 880 signatures. Image: screenshot/change.orgThe petition proposes drinking the bone broth "in the form of some carbonated energy drink so we can assume its powers and finally die." Who wouldn't want skeleton flavored La Croix? Check out this mummy juice.Image: EGYPTIAN MINISTRY OF ANTIQUITIES HANDOUT/ShutterstockWhile it's common sense to not put liquid that dead warriors have been fermenting in for 2,000 years in your mouth, the petition's creator isn't convinced. "Please stop trying to tell me the skeleton juice is mostly sewage," they said in an update. "Thats impossible everyone knows skeletons cannot poop." Seems reasonable.
