Gunman torches Philippine casino, killing dozens in panic Posted: 02 Jun 2017 08:05 AM PDT By Manolo Serapio Jr and Neil Jerome Morales MANILA (Reuters) - A gunman stormed a casino in the Philippine capital on Friday, setting gaming tables alight and killing at least 36 people who mostly suffocated in thick smoke, in an attack claimed by Islamic State but which officials insist was a botched robbery. The gunman killed himself in a hotel room after being shot and wounded by security officers at the Resorts World Manila entertainment complex, police said. "Islamic State fighters carried out the Manila attack in the Philippines," the militant group's Amaq news agency said. |

'Tragic' measles vaccine blunders kill 15 children in South Sudan Posted: 02 Jun 2017 08:46 AM PDT Fifteen children died in South Sudan after receiving contaminated measles vaccines that had not been properly refrigerated, and were mixed using the same syringe for four days. In addition to the blunders handling the vaccine, Health Minister Riek Gai Kok said that two children, aged 12 and 13, had been recruited to administer it. An investigation showed that local officials failed to follow immunisation guidelines during a four-day campaign to vaccinate around 300 people in the southeastern state of Kapoeta in May, Kok said. |

Today's Google Doodle celebrates the man behind the Pride rainbow flag Posted: 02 Jun 2017 07:34 AM PDT June is LGBTQ Pride Month and social networks and sites of all kinds are releasing special emojis and graphics in celebration. On Friday, Google used its latest Doodle to honor American artist and LGBTQ rights activist Gilbert Baker, creator of the rainbow flag that has become a symbol of pride for LGBTQ individuals worldwide. Baker, who died last year at 65, would have turned 66 today. Image: GoogleAccording to TIME, Baker left the military after traveling from Kansas to San Francisco with the U.S. Army. After leaving the military, he taught himself to sew and would often volunteer to make protest banners for the city's LGBTQ community. SEE ALSO: Instagram releases fierce rainbow stickers to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month In 1978, gay leader Harvey Milk asked Baker to create an icon that would symbolize both activists and the community alike. At the time, the only symbol of the LGBTQ community was the pink triangle, which was the way gay prisoners were identified in Nazi concentration camps. Baker wanted to create something more celebratory and positive to represent the growing LGBTQ movement. The first flag, which included eight different colored stripes each with their own meaning, was put together by volunteers in the attic of the Gay Community Center, reports TIME. After Milk's assassination, the number of stripes was reduced to six due to the limited availability of fabric in the wake of the flag's new popularity. Happy Pride, everyone!

CIA names former bin Laden hunt chief to run Iran spying: report Posted: 02 Jun 2017 07:33 AM PDT The CIA has named the hardline chief of its hunt for Osama bin Laden and head of its lethal drone program to lead Iran operations, the New York Times reported Friday. The choice of Michael D'Andrea to run the Central Intelligence Agency's spying on Iran is the newest sign of the Trump administration's turn to tougher stance against the Islamic Republic, the Times said, quoting intelligence community sources. Although officially under cover and not acknowledged by the CIA, D'Andrea, a convert to Islam who is around 60 years old, has been a key figure in the fight against Islamic extremists groups. |

Tense Kabul under lockdown after deadly protest clashes Posted: 03 Jun 2017 03:49 AM PDT Kabul city was on lockdown Saturday with armed checkpoints and armoured vehicles patrolling the streets to prevent a repeat of protests that spiralled into street clashes, leaving at least four people dead. Hundreds of demonstrators calling for President Ashraf Ghani to step down clashed with police on Friday, prompting officials to beat them back with live rounds in the air, tear gas and water cannon. The protesters were voicing anger over a truck bombing on Wednesday in Kabul's diplomatic quarter that killed 90 people and wounded hundreds, the deadliest attack in the city since 2001. |

Colossal crack in Antartica ice shelf about to drop state-sized iceberg into the ocean Posted: 02 Jun 2017 02:13 PM PDT With President Donald Trump announcing that the United States won't be joining a huge number of its allies in supporting the Paris Agreement on climate change rules just a day ago, an extremely troubling development in Antarctica is helping to underscore just how bad of a decision that really was. A crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the frigid continent has grown rapidly in the past week, and a complete break is expected imminently. When that happens, a chunk of ice as large as the state of Delaware will be released into the ocean, creating one of the world's largest icebergs ever.
The crack, which is currently roughly 120 miles long, has grown by several miles in just the past week, and is now just eight miles from being complete. Researchers are pointing to the accelerated break — called "calving" — as a further sign that human-caused climate change is currently at a tipping point from which we may not be able to recover. The shelf's calving, as troubling as it is on its own, is (unfortunately) just part of a bigger picture. Scientists believe that, once the shelf does make its way freely into the ocean, the event could further destabilize the rest of the glacier, leading to increased break-ups in the immediate future. "When it calves, the Larsen C Ice Shelf will lose more than 10% of its area to leave the ice front at its most retreated position ever recorded," Professor Adrian Luckman of Swansea University College of Science said of the calving. "This event will fundamentally change the landscape of the Antarctic Peninsula." |

Varadkar becomes Irish PM-in-waiting in social, generational shift Posted: 02 Jun 2017 11:01 AM PDT By Padraic Halpin and Conor Humphries DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland's governing Fine Gael party elected Leo Varadkar as its new leader on Friday, choosing the gay, 38-year-old son of an Indian immigrant to succeed Enda Kenny as prime minister in a striking sign of the country's rapid social change. Bar an unexpected development, Varadkar will be voted in as prime minister when parliament next sits on June 13 and become the once-staunchly Catholic country's first openly gay premier and the youngest person ever to hold the office. "If my election today shows anything, it is that prejudice has no hold in this Republic," Varadkar said to huge applause in a speech at Dublin's Mansion House, where Ireland's parliament first sat almost a century ago. |

"Two suicide bomber adolescents aged between 10 and 15 years infiltrated the town of Kolofata," Communications Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary told state radio, adding that both had detonated their explosives.

Mexico ruling party risks nasty upset in governor's race Posted: 02 Jun 2017 12:50 PM PDT Mexico's ruling party risks losing the governorship of the country's largest state Sunday in elections that observers say are fueling a fiery left-wing populist's prospects of becoming president next year. Losing the bellwether election in the state of Mexico -- President Enrique Pena Nieto's home state -- would spell disaster for the once-mighty Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, as its own candidate has admitted. Political analysts say the tight race has given a huge boost to Morena's founder, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a sharp critic of US President Donald Trump who wants to be Mexico's first leftist president in recent memory. |
Residents shield Christians in bold exodus from Philippines city Posted: 03 Jun 2017 06:01 AM PDT By Tom Allard MARAWI CITY, Philippines (Reuters) - More than 160 civilians walked out of the besieged Philippines city of Marawi just after dawn on Saturday, deceiving Islamist fighters they encountered by hiding the identity of the many Christians among them. The audacious exodus came after text message warnings that a major assault by Philippines aircraft and ground troops was imminent in the center of the southern city, where some 250 militants and more than 2,000 civilians remain trapped. "We saved ourselves," said Norodin Alonto Lucman, a well-known former politician and traditional clan leader who sheltered 71 people, including more than 50 Christians, in his home during the battle that erupted on May 23 in the town of more than 200,000 on the southern island of Mindanao. |
Why the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is the shape of things to come Posted: 02 Jun 2017 05:57 AM PDT With the unveiling of the Sweptail, Rolls-Royce has redefined the automotive notion of bespoke and has thrown down the gauntlet to every carmaker that claims to offer super luxury vehicles. "We don't think it's right to profess to do it [bespoke services] unless you're prepared to go through the journey to really make that happen," explains James Warren. As Rolls-Royce's head of communications for Western Europe, Warren has had an extremely busy week. |
Mattis praises China's efforts on North Korea, dials up pressure on South China Sea Posted: 03 Jun 2017 02:31 AM PDT By Idrees Ali and Lee Chyen Yee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The United States is encouraged by China's efforts to restrain North Korea but Washington will not accept Beijing's militarization of islands in the South China Sea, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Saturday. The comments by Mattis, during the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, show how U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is looking to balance working with China to restrain North Korea's advancing missile and nuclear programs while dealing with Beijing's activities in the South China Sea. |

SpaceX blasts off cargo using recycled spaceship Posted: 03 Jun 2017 02:32 PM PDT SpaceX on Saturday blasted off a shipment of food and supplies for the astronauts living at the International Space Station using for the first time a vessel that had flown before. "Three, two, one, and liftoff," said NASA spokesman Mike Curie as the rocket blazed a steady upward path into the clouds. The Dragon is packed with almost 6,000 pounds (2,700 kilograms) of science research, crew supplies and hardware and should arrive at the ISS Monday. |
