| Iran missile tests may breach UN resolution, France and UK warn Posted: 03 Dec 2018 11:01 AM PST  France and the UK have echoed warnings by Donald Trump's administration that Iran may be in breach of United Nations obligations by testing medium-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying multiple warheads. The remarks from Paris and London will be seen by the US government as the first sign that its key European partners may yet be persuaded to view Iran's broader behaviour as so dangerous that their support for the 2015 Iran nuclear deal can no longer be justified. The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, criticised Iran's missile programme at the weekend and will be at a Nato foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels over the next two days to underline his message about the threat to Middle East stability posed by Iran.

As part of the accord, ev3 Inc, which Medtronic now owns, will pay $17.9 million and plead guilty to a charge related to its marketing of a neurovascular medical device for unproven and potentially dangerous uses, federal prosecutors in Boston said. The misdemeanor charge relates to the Onyx Liquid Embolic System, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005 approved for the limited use of blocking blood flow to arteriovenous malformations in the brain.

Moon and Kim have met three times in 2018 amid warming ties between the two Koreas, with South Korea hoping to host a first-ever visit by Kim to Seoul before year's end. "There is a possibility that Chairman Kim Jong Un's visit to Seoul may be made within this year, but there's more important things than the timing," he said in translated remarks during a visit to New Zealand.

| Things got real awkward between the Trumps, Obamas, and Clintons at George H.W. Bush's funeral Posted: 05 Dec 2018 08:31 AM PST  Things were going fine as all the living former presidents and their spouses gathered at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., for the funeral of former president George H.W. Bush. But when our current president arrived things got awkward fast. As President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump took their places in the first row of the cathedral, they were greeted with light smiles and handshakes from Barack and Michelle Obama, a genial greeting in an otherwise frosty relationship. The Trumps' arrival also got a head turn from former president Bill Clinton, but Hillary Clinton, Trump's rival in the 2016 presidential campaign and a even still recipient of many Trump's attacks, threw a little side-eye and what looks like a nod at Melania then completely ignored the Donald. Now, one can argue that you shouldn't expect a handshake or any other greeting at that moment because it's awkward to reach over several people. But Hillary's refusal to do more than just a quick side glance at the current president was pretty conspicuous, not even escaping the notice of the CBS commentators. It's also not hard to notice how the general mood was brought down by Trump's arrival. Granted, this is a funeral and those are generally pretty solemn occasions. But before the Trumps took their places, the former presidents and first ladies shared some warm moments. After? Well, let these pictures tell the story.

Fortunately the ceremony began a few minutes later so at least they have something to focus on other than all the awkward energy in the air.

| Israel launches operation to thwart Hizbollah tunnels from Lebanon Posted: 04 Dec 2018 03:38 AM PST  Israel's military has launched an operation to find and destroy a network of Hizbollah "attack tunnels" running underground from southern Lebanon into northern Israel. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said Hizbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group, dug the tunnels over several years so its fighters could ambush Israeli soldiers and civilians. The IDF would not say how many tunnels it had found but said that several had already crossed from Lebanese territory into Israel. None of the tunnels were operational yet and there was "no immediate threat" to Israel, the IDF said. "Whoever tries to attack the State of Israel will pay a heavy price. We are taking determined and responsible action in all sectors simultaneously," said Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister. Hizbollah did not deny building the tunnels, saying in a statement that Israel was targeting tunnels "allegedly stretching from south Lebanon to settlements in northern occupied Palestine". Map released by Israel that purports to show the site of Hizbollah tunnels along Jewish State's border with Lebanon Credit: IDF "We see Hizbollah's activities as a flagrant and blatant violation of Israeli sovereignty and it again proves Hizbollah's complete disregard for UN resolutions," said Lt Col Jonathan Conricus, an IDF spokesman. He said some of the tunnels had been dug under Lebanese civilian homes, putting civilians in danger. There was no immediate response from Hizbollah to the Israeli accusations. A spokesman for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) told the Telegraph that the border remained calm and that it was coordinating with both countries to avoid an escalation. The Israeli claim is likely to raise tensions with Hizbollah. Israel bolstered its forces across its northern border ahead of making the announcement, the military said. Hizbollah has built up its military capabilities in southern Lebanon Credit: AP Photo/Bilal Hussein The Israeli announcement led to heightened tensions on the Israel-Lebanon border, where the IDF and Hizbollah fought a bloody war in 2006 but have maintained an uneasy truce since. Israel bolstered its forces across the north while Hizbollah fighters and the Lebanese military were put on heightened alert. By sundown on Tuesday the situation remained tense but calm. Israel has repeatedly struck Hizbollah targets in Syria as part of its campaign to prevent the militant group and their Iranian backers from embedding in Syrian territory. However, Mr Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have become more vocal recently about the threat from Hizbollah inside Lebanon. In a speech to the UN in September, the Israeli leader said Hizbollah had built secret missile sites in Beirut, the Lebanese capital. Both the Lebanese government and Hizbollah strongly denied the claims. Hizbollah is believed to have around an arsenal of around 150,000 rockets and missiles, some of which are long-range and capable of precision targeting. Mr Netanyahu warned about Hizbollah weapons sites in Beirut Credit: Jeenah Moon/Bloomberg Both Israel and Hizbollah predict that a new conflict would be much bloodier than the 2006 war, which saw more than 1,000 Lebanese civilians killed along with 44 Israeli civilians. The IDF said Tuesday that it had entered and was preparing to destroy one tunnel which ran from the Lebanese village of Kafr Kela, under the border, and into Israeli territory. The tunnel was roughly 200m long with electricity lines, air vents, and communications systems, the IDF said. Israel said the tunnel began under a civilian house in Kafr Kela. "Hizbollah is using civilian infrastructure for military purposes," the IDF said. Israel has long warned that Hizbollah was hiding weapons caches in civilian areas in southern Lebanon, raising the risk that civilians would be killed by Israeli strikes if fighting broke out. Israel also accused Hizbollah of violating UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war. The resolution forbids both Israeli forces and Hizbollah fighters from entering southernmost area of Lebanon between the Israeli border and the Litani River. The White House backed Israel's actions. "The US strongly supports Israel's efforts to defend its sovereignty and we call on Hizbollah to stop its tunneling into Israel," said John Bolton, the US national security advisor. Hizbollah has a complicated relationship with the Lebanese government. The Shia militant group is allied with Michel Aoun, Lebanon's Christian president, but is at odds with Saad Hariri, the country's Sunni prime minister, who has openly criticised Hizbollah. Israel has warned that it holds the Lebanese government responsible for any actions by Hizbollah from Lebanese territory. Israeli opposition MPs accused Mr Netanyahu of timing the launch of the operation to distract from a corruption scandal swirling around him and his wife. Israeli police said on Sunday that both Mr and Mrs Netanyahu should be charged in a major bribery case. They deny wrongdoing. The IDF denied that there was any political motivation, saying that Israel had been monitoring the tunnels for years and set the date for the operation's launch some time ago. Israel is confident that it is close to neutralising the threat of tunnels dug by Hamas and other militants in Gaza by building a vast underground barrier around the Gaza Strip. Letters from Jerusalem RHS The military said it had no plan for a similar barrier on the Lebanese border, where the terrain is rocky and dramatic. But the military said it had begun a "defensive obstacle project" to thwart the tunnels, including building walls, digging cliffs, and clearing vegetation.
