Turkey-US: strained relations Posted: 14 May 2017 12:53 PM PDT From the 2003 US invasion of Iraq to Washington's latest decision to arm Kurdish groups in Syria, relations between Turkey and the US have been tested repeatedly. The two NATO allies often have conflicting goals in the Middle East, and Ankara is now cultivating closer ties with Moscow and Tehran. In September 2011, six months after peaceful protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were harshly repressed, Ankara cut the Syrian regime loose and began to back selected opposition groups.

Merkel's party bags key victory in bellwether state vote Posted: 14 May 2017 12:00 PM PDT Düsseldorf (Germany) (AFP) - Chancellor Angela Merkel dealt a devastating blow to her main rival on Sunday, four months before national elections, when early results showed her party securing a strong win in a regional vote in Germany's biggest state.

Cyberattack: major cyber attacks over the past 10 years Posted: 14 May 2017 11:08 AM PDT A huge range of organisations and companies around the world have been affected by the WannaCry ransomware cyberattack, described by the EU's law enforcement agency as "unprecedented". One of the first massive cyberattacks to hit a state occurred in spring 2007 in the Baltic nation of Estonia, when a spate of intrusions forced the closure of government websites and disrupted leading businesses. Estonia, which was in the midst of a diplomatic dispute with Russia, blamed Moscow for the attacks, which it denied. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

A 'Gilmore Girls' lego set might be coming and my wallet is so ready Posted: 14 May 2017 08:50 AM PDT Oy with the completely perfect Lego sets already! The company that enhanced everyone's childhood could be creating a product that will make Gilmore Girls fans of all ages weep with joy: a Luke's Diner Lego set. *passes out* SEE ALSO: 'Lego Movie's' Unikitty is getting an animated show and everything is awesome Now hold up — before you get too excited and down five cups of coffee in celebration, as of right now the Gilmore Girls set is just an idea. The company allows adorkable fans to submit original ideas for new Lego sets and one glorious human, Rainer Zufall, is to thank for blessing the world with this vision of Lego Lorelai. At the end of April, Zufall submitted his collection design, which features a completely furnished Luke's Diner — right down to the beloved "No Cell Phones" sign — along with six of our favorite Stars Hollow characters. Image: RAINER ZUFALL/LEGO IDEASIt is so beautiful. And if for some reason the set itself has not sold you yet, the inspiration behind it will. Zufall wrote that the idea to build Lego Luke's Diner came to him, "because my wife is a really big Gilmore Girls fan and she asked me to build Luke's Diner for her." Omg. Since he's a big Lego fan he wanted to give his wife and other Gilmore Girl lovers the ability to recreate their favorite scenes with the toy. Image: RAINER ZUFALL/LEGO IDEAS Image: RAINER ZUFALL/LEGO IDEAS Tell me you do not want to own these precious Lego figures of Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Lane, Kirk, and JESS. Lego Jess! That's right — no Lego Dean, no Lego Logan, just Lego Jess. Zufall clearly knows what's UP. Image: Rainer zufall/lego ideasIf you simply cannot imagine your life without this Gilmore Girls set in it, go support it! The idea will need to reach 10,000 followers in order to make it to Lego for an official review and potential approval. The world needs this.

Iraqi forces attack Islamic State in Mosul as battle approaches endgame Posted: 14 May 2017 08:32 AM PDT U.S.-backed Iraqi forces pushed deeper into the last pocket of Mosul controlled by Islamic State militants on Sunday as the battle for the city approaches an end after seven months of gruelling urban combat. The militants have now been dislodged from all but a handful of districts in the western half of Mosul including the Old City, where Islamic State is expected to make its last stand, taking advantage of narrow streets and its dense population. Brigadier General Yahya Rasoul said the area controlled by Islamic State was no more than 9 percent of west Mosul, which is bisected by the River Tigris.

OnePlus 5 leak shows specs and price that would make it crazy to buy a Galaxy S8 instead Posted: 14 May 2017 08:13 AM PDT If any Android phone is going to topple the Galaxy S8 this year, it's the OnePlus 5. Despite the fact that we're likely months out from an official unveiling of the phone from OnePlus, leaks have been springing from all around the internet for the past several weeks. This week is no different, as a listing for the OnePlus 5 at online reseller Geekbuying's site appears to confirm price and specification rumors. According to the listing, the OnePlus 5 will feature a 5.5-inch QHD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU, Adreno 540 GPU, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, 23-megapixel rear camera, 16-megapixel front camera and a 4,000 mAh battery, all running on Android 7.1 Nougat. Each and every one of these specs also appeared on a leaked image posted to Slashleaks earlier this week, which means that Geekbuying is either putting the pieces together for its OnePlus 5 listing based on internet leaks, or the reseller has its own sources that have confirmed the same information. Plus, Geekbuying lists the price of the phone at $449.99, in line with previous leaks. The one sketchy element of the listing is the image that Geekbuying chose to use. Even though the listing itself claims that the OnePlus 5 features a single 23-megapixel rear camera, the render the reseller has decided to use shows a dual camera adorning the back of the phone. In fairness, recent mockups and leaks have shown the OnePlus 5 with a dual camera setup, but the specs sheet doesn't support it. It'll be some time before we have official confirmation of the OnePlus 5's price and specifications, but for now, it still looks like OnePlus is preparing to take on Samsung in a big way in 2017.

The Atlantic Politics & Policy Daily: The Tapes of Wrath Posted: 14 May 2017 07:38 AM PDT Today in 5 Lines President Trump suggested on Twitter that there might be tapes of his private conversations with former FBI Director James Comey. When asked about the tweet, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer repeatedly refused to answer whether or not the president is recording conversations in the Oval Office. Senator Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Comey declined an invitation to testify before the panel in a closed session on Tuesday. The White House released a letter from the president's lawyers that said Trump's tax returns do not reflect "any income of any type from Russian sources," with a few exceptions. In a major shift away from Obama-era policies on low-level drug offenses, Attorney General Jeff Sessions directed federal prosecutors to "charge and pursue the most serious, readily provable offense" against defendants.

Berlin backpackers in a bind: To fund Pyongyang or not? Posted: 14 May 2017 06:45 AM PDT It's an unusual dilemma that tourists in Berlin have to grapple with -- will getting into a hostel bunk bed help finance North Korea's nuclear ambitions? Backpackers staying at the Cityhostel found themselves struggling with precisely this question after learning that Pyongyang owns the property and is making money from it. Cityhostel found itself at the centre of a storm after German media reported Tuesday that the North Korean embassy was not just the guesthouse's neighbour but also the owner of the prime real estate.
