Supreme Court puts brakes on police searches of rental cars Posted: 14 May 2018 01:16 PM PDT By Andrew Chung WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday limited the ability of police to search rental cars driven by someone other than the person who signed the rental agreement, shoring up privacy rights behind the wheel. The nine justices unanimously threw out a lower court ruling that had approved of a search by Pennsylvania police of a Ford Fusion driven by Terrence Byrd, whose girlfriend had rented the car. State troopers told Byrd they could search the car because he was not listed as an authorized driver, and they found heroin and a bulletproof vest in the trunk.

With glut almost gone, OPEC still cuts more than oil pact demands Posted: 14 May 2018 10:18 AM PDT By Alex Lawler LONDON (Reuters) - A global oil glut has been virtually eliminated, figures published by OPEC showed on Monday, thanks to an OPEC-led pact to cut supplies that has been in place since January 2017 and due to rising global demand. Despite this, OPEC's latest report said producers were cutting more than required under the deal, while producers not party to the agreement, such as U.S. shale companies, were starting to face constraints on future output. Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter and de facto leader of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, told OPEC it cut output in April to its lowest level since the supply deal began in January 2017.

China's first home-built aircraft carrier begins sea trials as Beijing ramps up its maritime might Posted: 13 May 2018 02:36 PM PDT China's first home-built aircraft carrier began sea trials on Sunday, a major step for Beijing as it ramps up its military might. The carrier will be the second to enter the Chinese navy, and comes as Beijing seeks to modernise its armed forces. The ship, which is known only as "Type 001A", set out for the trials from the north-eastern port of Dalian, where it was built The trail was to "test the reliability and stability of the carrier's power system and other equipment," Xinhua news agency said "Construction on the carrier has been carried out as planned since it was launched in April last year, and equipment debugging, outfitting and mooring tests have been completed to make it ready for the trial mission at sea," it added, citing sources. Images posted by Chinese media online showed the huge carrier not far from its dock, apparently setting off for trials with smaller vessels. China's first domestically developed aircraft carrier departs Dalian Credit: Reuters China's military has been updated and modernised since Chinese president Xi Jinping assumed power five years ago. The carrier, which is not expected to enter service until 2020, is the latest milestone in China's military development, and comes as Beijing is asserting itself in the strategic waters of the South China Sea, and against Taiwan. Steve Tsang, director of the China Institute at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), said: "This is clearly a landmark development, particularly in demonstrating the ambition and intention of the Chinese Government under Xi Jinping. "Aircraft carriers are for power projection and for domination, and this is just the first of several more indigenous carriers. "The world should take notice of Xi's determination 'to make China great again'." The country's first carrier, the Liaoning, was bought second-hand from Ukraine in 1998, refitted in China, and commissioned in 2012. Both Chinese aircraft carriers have similar "ski jump" ramps, and closely resemble Soviet style vessels. They will "not pose major challenges" to the "US domination of the sea lanes", Prof Tsang told The Telegraph. The US's 11 vessels are nuclear powered and have far superior technology, including catapult systems for launching aircraft. Prof Tsang added: "But for the rest of China's neighbours, the new carrier based doctrine of the People's Liberation Army is frightening, as none of them can remotely match China's new naval capabilities."
