In Idlib, worried father turns paper cups into gas masks

Posted: 12 Sep 2018 08:29 AM PDT

Fearing the worst in the looming battle for Syria's last rebel stronghold, one desperate father is doing everything to protect his kids -- fashioning gas masks from paper party cups and plastic bags. Hudhayfa al-Shahhad, who lives in the northwestern province of Idlib, is determined he and his family will be ready as best as possible for any chemical weapons attack, and has even dug a cave under his home to sit out any bombings. "I learnt how to make them on YouTube," says the 27-year-old policeman demonstrating the rudimentary homemade masks, which he hopes may spare his three young children from the potentially deadly effects of any gas attack.

Hungary's Orban vows to defy EU pressure ahead of unprecedented vote

Posted: 11 Sep 2018 12:52 PM PDT

Some momentum might have been building against Orban during the evening ahead of the Wednesday vote. Since sweeping to power in 2010, Orban has pressured Hungary's courts, media and non-governmental groups, as well as refusing to take in asylum seekers arriving in Europe. If approved, the motion would go to the EU's national leaders, theoretically opening the way for sanctions such as a suspension of Hungary's voting rights in the bloc.

Posted: 12 Sep 2018 07:30 AM PDT

An estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases were predicted worldwide for 2018 -- with 9.6 million deaths, said a report of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This is up from estimated 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million deaths reported in the agency's last assessment just six years ago. An increased focus on prevention -- encouraging people to get exercise, quit smoking, and eating a healthy diet -- led to a drop in certain types of cancer in some population groups, the IARC said.

As Hurricane Florence churned towards the US East Coast on Wednesday, Donald Trump assured Americans the government stood ready -- and slipped in some bragging about his handling of monster storms in the past. In his first tweet on the topic early, Trump urged residents in Florence's path to "be safe," assuring them federal emergency workers were "ready for the big one that's coming" -- so far so normal for a US president addressing the population as a disaster looms.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday the two men Britain suspects of poisoning former spy Sergei Skripal with military-grade nerve agent are not criminals and have been identified as civilians. Speaking at an economic forum with Japan's Shinzo Abe and China's Xi Jinping in the far eastern city of Vladivostok, Putin urged the men to address the media and said there was "nothing criminal".

China urges U.S. to 'abandon prejudice' over Xinjiang

Posted: 12 Sep 2018 01:43 AM PDT

China urged the United States on Wednesday to abandon its "prejudice" over Xinjiang, as the Trump administration considers sanctions against Chinese officials and companies linked to allegations of human rights abuses in the Chinese region. Discussions have gained momentum within the U.S. government over possible economic penalties in response to reports of mass detentions of ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims in the far western region, which have prompted a growing international outcry. Any sanctions decision would be a rare move on human rights grounds by U.S. President Donald Trump against China, with which he has engaged in a trade war while also seeking Beijing's help to resolve a standoff over North Korea's nuclear weapons.

Appearing in court in Pasadena for his preliminary hearing, Mr Gonzales listened as women testified about their experiences dating the alleged tab-skipper.

The 2018 Apple event at Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California has finally arrived, and minutes before it began, CEO Tim Cook didn't seem prepared. Just before the event was set to begin, Cook tweeted a cryptic and confusing message that the world assumed was meant to be a direct message.

Trump calls Puerto Rico hurricane effort an 'unsung success' – here's the reality

Donald Trump's definition of an "unsung success" was immediately questioned on Tuesday when he used those words to describe the federal government's response to Hurricane Maria. The government's official death toll from Maria is now 2,975 people, after initially being listed as just 64.

Poland worried by EU vote to censure Hungary

Posted: 12 Sep 2018 11:33 AM PDT

Poland on Wednesday said it was very worried by the European Parliament's rare decision to launch a procedure against Hungary for posing a "systemic threat" to the EU's founding values. The vote took the first steps under Article 7 of the European Union Treaty, known by some in Brussels as the "nuclear option", which could ultimately strip Hungary of its EU voting rights. Other EU governments could halt any further action, however, and Poland -- a fellow ex-communist state that is also facing an Article 7 procedure -- has warned it would do so.

The order, coming only eight weeks before congressional elections on Nov. 6, drew immediate criticism from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers as too little, too late. Trump signed the order behind closed doors with no reporters present, a rare departure from what has been his standard practice. "As I have made clear, the United States will not tolerate any form of foreign meddling in our elections," Trump said in a statement.
