| Miss America factions clash over decision to ditch swimsuit round Posted: 08 Jul 2018 06:57 AM PDT  Former Miss Americas are rallying in support of Gretchen Carlson, another former winner brought in to reform the pageant, after state officials pushed for her resignation. Their move reveals deep divisions over the direction of an organisation that was rocked by a 2017 email scandal and is trying to modernise for the #metoo era. Ms Carlson, Miss America 1989 and an early figure in the #MeToo movement, announced last month that the pageant was dropping the swimsuit element of the competition. However, some former directors and state officials said they felt pressured to make the change or risk broadcasters dropping the pageant from television. Representatives from 22 state pageants signed a petition calling for the resignations of the new Miss America board, including Ms Carlson and Regina Hopper, its chief executive, according to The Press of Atlantic City. Gretchen Carlson leads the Miss America board of trustees Credit: Miss America Organisation But in a letter to the newspaper, 30 former Miss Americas said they "fully support" Carlson and the board members "who are and have been working tirelessly to move our programme forward". The Miss America organisation is regrouping after a December scandal in which emails surfaced in which its then chief executive and board members mocked winners' intelligence, looks and sex lives. They were forced to resign. Today, the organisation's top three posts are held by women and the new leaders have begun making changes. The petition from the state pageant officials expressed a vote of "no confidence" in the board of trustees. It cited a lack of transparency and adherence to best practices, The Press said. But the former Miss Americas said in their letter that they "hope the voices of our majority can and will be heard". Ms Hopper told The Press on Friday that "there are always those who disagree with or find it hard to accept change", but that the organisation welcomes anyone who wants to move forward with a revitalised programme dedicated to providing scholarships and opportunities to young women. Suzette Charles, Miss America 1984, said things had begun to "unravel" in the organisation. "There's been a lot of dismay with (Carlson's) leadership," she said. "We thought she would regard this program with reverence and keep this tradition alive."

| Turkey fires thousands of civil servants ahead of Erdogan's swearing-in Posted: 08 Jul 2018 07:20 AM PDT  The Turkish government on Sunday sacked more than 18,000 civil servants for alleged links to terror groups, as it prepared to lift the state of emergency in the wake of the 2016 failed coup. Nearly 9,000 police officers, 6,000 members of the military and 199 academics from across Turkey are among the people summarily dismissed in a decree published in the Official Gazette. Their passports will be cancelled. The dismissals came the day before President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was to be sworn in for his second term, following his victory in last month's presidential election. Mr Erdogan has overseen a series of purges since the July 2016 attempted coup, which saw parts of the Turkish military launch an operation to topple the government and oust its leader. Turkey blames exiled preacher and businessmen Fethullah Gulen for the attempted power grab and cracked down decisively, implementing a state of emergency and using enhanced powers to sack scores of civil servants. After two years, many were expecting an announcement lifting Turkey's state of emergency, rather than Sunday's further tightening of the screws. According to the UN's human rights office, more 160,000 civil servants had already been dismissed before this latest round. Around a third have been formally charged and jailed during their trials. Turkey has defended the measures as necessary to combat threats to national security. But critics say they amount to purges of any individual or group who might be opposed to Mr Erdogan's policies. Members of Kurdish groups and their supporters have also been dismissed from employment, detained and charged. In April 2017, Mr Erdogan presided over a constitutional referendum which saw 18 amendments adopted, including the abolishment of the post of Prime Minister, the replacement of Turkey's parliamentary system with a presidential system, and a significant beefing-up of presidential powers. Turkey's allies, particularly in the West, have accused Mr Erdogan of authoritarianism and of using the post-coup crackdown as an excuse to quash dissent. Relations between Turkey and the US have deteriorated significantly over the issue, but Turkey has not wavered from its policies.

| North Korea slams 'gangster-like' U.S. demands after satisfied Pompeo leaves Posted: 07 Jul 2018 12:59 PM PDT  By Hyonhee Shin and David Brunnstrom SEOUL/TOKYO (Reuters) - North Korea accused the United States on Saturday of making "gangster-like" demands in talks over its nuclear program, contradicting U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hours after he left saying the old enemies had made progress on key issues. During a day and a half of talks in Pyongyang, Pompeo had sought to hammer out details on how to dismantle North Korea's nuclear programs, including a timeline. Hours later, Pyongyang gave a much more negative assessment, saying Washington had broken the spirit of last month's summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

| Syrian refugee girl who used tin cans for legs cries as she gets first prosthetic limbs Posted: 08 Jul 2018 04:52 AM PDT  The 8-year-old Syrian girl, quietly crying in an Istanbul clinic, was overwhelmed by the new set of prosthetic legs she had just received and taken aback by the cameras pointed at her by journalists attending the fitting. Maya Meri has been in the spotlight since images of her plight hit social media last month. She was filmed in a camp for the displaced in Syria's northwestern Idlib province walking around on contraptions her father made from tuna cans, plastic tubes and fabric. "I thought of doing something that would protect her while on the ground from stones and other things, so I made these limbs for her," said her father, Mohammed. Maya Meri adjusts her prosthetic leg as she sits on her dad Mohammed's lap at a rehabilitation clinic in Istanbul. Credit: Lefteris Pitarakis/AP Maya was born without legs because of a condition called congenital amputation. Her story moved one Turkish prosthetics specialist to reach out to Turkey's largest humanitarian organization, which evacuated her from Syria. Maya is now in Istanbul with her father, who shares the same disability. On Thursday, as journalists looked on, prosthetics specialist Mehmet Zeki Culcu took off Maya's makeshift legs. He first wrapped her limbs in protective layers of fabric and then placed her in temporary prosthetics. Camera shutters clicked as Culcu lifted Maya up and she stood in her purple and pink sneakers, which looked a few sizes too big. Maya waited for years for proper prosthetics Credit: OSMAN ORSAL/Reuters Originally from Aleppo province, the Meri family had to move to escape the fighting. "We fled to an area that has not witnessed bombardment but it was difficult to live there in a tent on a mountain," said Mohammed, who has five other children still in Syria with their mother. Maya Meri is guided by a prosthetic specialist as she tries out her new legs. Credit: Lefteris Pitarakis/AP In the Idlib camp, Maya and her father had to crawl on the bare earth to get anywhere. He said the little girl would be in pain because of the rugged terrain as she made her way to school. The homemade prosthetics allowed her to move about more easily, and helped her learn how to balance, shortening a two-week process to a single day when she was fitted with her new legs. Culcu, who took on her case pro-bono, thinks it will take about 2 1/2 months for her to be fully fitted. "If Maya continues to learn so fast and be so enthusiastic, it might be completed in a shorter time," he said. Maya walks on legs made of tin cans in a refugee camp in Idlib Credit: AAREF WATAD/AFP Maya practices taking steps with the aid of a walker. In time, Culcu said her trial socket prosthetics will be lengthened with a knee joint and then extended below the knee. She grimaces with pain after an hour with her synthetic limbs, but the technicians said that's to be expected and worked to adjust them. Culcu said Maya has become a "child symbol" and he hopes the world will be moved by her plight to put an end to the civil war in Syria. "There are hundreds of thousands of people living with disabilities, and among them are tens of thousands of children, who unfortunately need prosthetics," he said. Turkey, which shares a lengthy border with Syria, has become entrenched in the Syrian conflict. The country hosts more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees, and its agencies and non-governmental organizations work across the border to provide aid. Maya Meri waits to be fitted with her new legs Credit: OSMAN ORSAL/ REUTERS Turkish troops and allied Syrian fighters have seized territory in northern Syria from the Islamic State group and U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters. Turkey, which supports the Syrian opposition, has negotiated local cease-fires with Iran and Russia, which are allied with the government. The Turkish Red Crescent is sponsoring Maya and her father's stay in Turkey. Culcu has pledged to provide prosthetics for the elder Meri after he receives an operation to prepare his limbs for the fitting. A while after trying her new prosthetics, Maya sat on her father's lap, exhausted and silent as he mused about their future. "Life is good if I can live here in Turkey, where someone can help us live a good life, because I cannot work," he said.

| What is Novichok? The Salisbury poisoning nerve agent that's more potent than VX gas Posted: 09 Jul 2018 12:20 AM PDT  The nerve agent that poisoned Sergei Skripal, his daughter Yulia and now a couple in Amesbury is one of the most deadly chemical weapons ever developed and was produced in secret by the former Soviet Union. Variants of the nerve agent Novichok are reported to be up to eight times more effective than VX nerve gas, that was deployed in the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half brother of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in February 2017. One of Novichok's developers - a Russian scientist Vil Mirzayanov who fled to the US after turning whistle-blower - has said one of the variants had no known cure. Scientists at the defence laboratory at Porton Down, just seven miles from Salisbury, identified the use of Novichok as the weapon used in the attempted murder four months ago of Colonel Skripal, 66, a Russian double agent who sold secrets to MI6, and his 33-year-old daughter. On Wednesday, police said tests carried out at the Porton Down had established that Charles Rowley, 45, and his girlfriend, Dawn Sturgess, 44, had also been exposed to Novichok. Novichok - meaning 'newcomer' or 'new guy' - was developed in labs in the old Soviet Union from the 1970s through to the early 1990s. It is so sophisticated only a state would have the capability of manufacturing it - and only Russia has done so. That explains why Theresa May was able to say with certainty that the attempted assassination of Col Skripal was either ordered by the Kremlin or else the regime bears responsibility for allowing the chemical weapon to be stolen from its secret laboratory. Charles Rowley, 45, and his girlfriend, Dawn Sturgess, 44, became unwell with similar symptoms to the Skripals Philip Ingram, a former intelligence and security officer who has studied chemical warfare, said: "Novichok is a super, fourth generation chemical weapons that was deliberately designed to avoid standard Nato detection and defence mechanisms. "It is highly lethal and can only be produced in some of the most sophisticated state run laboratories." Novichok's existence was only disclosed by a Russian scientist turned whistle blower who went public in 1992 in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union. Yulia and Sergei Skripal Dr Mirzayanov, who worked on Novichok for 27 years, was arrested for treason but the case was dropped because any trial would force the Kremlin to admit it had secretly developed an illegal chemical weapon in contravention of international warfare treaties. Dr Mirzayanov, who fled to the US in 1995 fearing his life was in danger, said the Russians had developed enough Novichok to kill "several hundred thousand people". Novichok, explained Dr Mirzayanov, is a 'binary' product that created nerve agents out of two 'harmless' substances that when mixed together created a powerful poison. The Moscow weapons lab that made the deadly Novichok nerve agent By tweaking the structure of agents, scientists hoped to create poisons that were more deadly to the victim, but safer to those deploying them. The tweaks also meant they would not show up in standard tests for better known chemical weapons. The Russian labs created two types of Novichok nerve agent - A-230 and A-232. Dr Mirzayanov, writing in 2009 in CBRNe World, a magazine for scientists working in the nuclear and chemical weapons industry, wrote: "Why are Novichok agents so dangerous? First, agent A-230, which was adopted as a chemical weapon by the Russian Army, is 5-8 times more poisonous that VX. Novichok in Salisbury: How could this happen four months after Skripal attack? "It is impossible to cure people who are exposed to it. Next agent A-232... is a phosphate, like many pesticides. Phosphates are not listed among the controlled chemicals on the Chemical Weapons Convention lists." Prof Andrea Sella, an inorganic chemistry expert at University College London, said the Novichok agents were designed to be made active before use by mixing two less dangerous ingredient chemicals. The two-stage process meant it was safer to prepare and deploy by the user, but it also meant it could potentially be transported or smuggled more easily, he said. Novichok: what should I do if I think I've been exposed to nerve agent? He told the Telegraph: "You could bring two relatively harmless compounds that could be explained away in other ways. Then you mix them together and off you go. "The Novichok programme was aimed at making sure that the compounds were less fragile and harmful than some of the other ones."
