| Brian Ross, who aired erroneous Trump report, to leave ABC News Posted: 02 Jul 2018 11:50 AM PDT  By Brian Steinberg LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Brian Ross, the veteran ABC News investigative correspondent who embarrassed the network late last year with an on-air report suggesting former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had been told by President Donald Trump to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign for the Oval Office, is leaving the network, along with Rhonda Schwartz, who served as the chief investigative producer for Ross' team. "After more than two decades at ABC News, Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz have decided to leave the company," ABC News President James Goldston said in a memo to staffers Monday. "Over the years they have built a team of the best investigative journalists in our industry, and they leave behind an outstanding group that will continue to break stories for many years to come." But Ross' reputation was sorely tested in December after he took to ABC in a special report and told viewers erroneously that Trump had directed Flynn when he was a candidate to make Russian contacts.

By 2030, the Long March-9 rocket under development will be able to carry 140 tonnes into low-Earth orbit -- where TV and earth observation satellites currently fly -- said Long Lehao, a senior official from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, according to the official Xinhua news agency. This compares to the 20 tonnes deliverable by Europe's Ariane 5 rocket or the 64 tonnes by Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy, which in February catapulted one of the US entrepreneur's red Tesla Roadster cars towards Mars.

"We deserve to have somebody at the EPA who actually does protect our environment, somebody who believes in climate change and takes it seriously, for the benefit of all of us including our children," she added.

| Salvini says he wants European association of nationalist parties as Italy leaves migrants stranded at sea Posted: 01 Jul 2018 12:54 PM PDT  Matteo Salvini, leader of Italy's right-wing League, said Sunday he wanted to expand its success to create a pan-European association of nationalist parties, as Italy again refused to accept a boat of migrants stranded in the Mediterranean. In a keynote speech at the League's annual gathering in countryside north of Milan, Mr Salvini predicted the League would govern Italy for the next 30 years, receiving rapturous applause from thousands of flag-waving supporters. "To win we had to unite Italy, now we will have to unite Europe," Mr Salvini said. "I am thinking about a League of the Leagues of Europe, bringing together all the free and sovereign movements that want to defend their people and their borders." Mr Salvini, deputy prime minister and interior minister in the coalition that took office on June 1, said with its tough line on migrants and in negotiations with the EU, the government had done more in a month than its predecessors had done in six years. "What we have managed to do this year, next year we will do at the continental level," Mr Salvini said, in reference to elections for the European Parliament in May 2019.

His announcement came as the Spanish government on Sunday gave permission for Barcelona to receive 59 migrants rescued from waters off the coast of Libya on Saturday by Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms. In an echo of the case of the 630 migrants on board the stricken rescue ship Aquarius eventually taken on shore in Valencia last month, Italy's government again told the rescuers that they would not be welcomed at an Italian port as they were situated in the Libyan search-and-rescue zone. "The nearest port is Malta, the NGO and the flag are Spanish: they can forget about arriving in an Italian port. Stop the mafia of human trafficking: the fewer people leave, the fewer will die", Mr Salvini said on Twitter just minutes after the rescue had taken place. In response, Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau urged the Spanish government to receive the migrants.

Mr Salvini accused the NGO of rushing in to pluck the 59 migrants from their crowded boat when a Libyan patrol boat was in the area. Reports from journalists on board the Open Arms rescue ship said that a Libyan patrol vessel arrived on the scene once the rescue was underway. Some of the migrants begged their rescuers not to return them to Libya, where they claimed they had suffered violence and abuse. Proactiva Open Arms has accused the Italian authorities of impeding their efforts to save lives in the Mediterranean.
