| 920,000 displaced in Syria in 2018, highest since conflict began: UN Posted: 11 Jun 2018 04:50 AM PDT  More than 920,000 people were displaced inside Syria during the first four months of 2018, the highest level in the seven-year conflict, the United Nations said Monday. "We are seeing a massive displacement inside Syria... From January to April, there were over 920,000 newly displaced people," Panos Moumtzis, the UN regional humanitarian coordinator for Syria, told reporters in Geneva. Moumtzis said most of the newly displaced had been forced on the move by escalations in fighting in the former rebel bastion of Eastern Ghouta and within the northwestern province of Idlib, which is almost entirely controlled by various jihadist and hardline rebels.

| Rescue boat carrying 600 migrants stranded in Mediterranean in stand-off between Italy and Malta Posted: 11 Jun 2018 03:45 AM PDT  Italy and Malta are in a tense stand-off over which country should accept an NGO rescue boat carrying nearly 630 migrants. Malta said the rescue of the migrants, who set out from Libya, had been coordinated by Rome and was therefore the responsibility of Italy. But Italy's coalition government, in what could be the start of a new, hard-line stance, said it would not accept the asylum seekers either. It means the boat is stranded in the Mediterranean as both nations refuse to allow the vessel to dock. Matteo Salvini, the interior minister, who is also head of the hard-Right, anti-migrant League party, wrote an urgent letter to Malta saying that the Maltese capital, Valletta, was the nearest port of call. The migrants were rescued by the Aquarius, which is operated by the Medecins Sans Frontieres and Sos Mediterranee charities Credit: Karpov/SOS MEDITERRANEE Mr Salvini's stance could herald the eventual closing of all Italian ports to NGO vessels with migrants on board, the Italian press speculated. He has criticised humanitarian organisations for providing what he has called a "taxi service" for migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean from Libya. More than 700,000 have reached Italy in the last five years, with Rome long complaining that it has been left to fend for itself by the rest of the EU. The 629 migrants were rescued by the Aquarius, a vessel operated by the charities Medecins Sans Frontieres and Sos Mediterranee, off the coast of Libya on Saturday. They included 123 non-accompanied minors, 11 children and seven pregnant women. The rescue boat includes more than 100 children Credit: Karpov/SOS MEDITERRANEE On Saturday, 400 other migrants who had been rescued at sea were disembarked in the Italian ports of Reggio Calabria and Pozzallo. They, too, had been denied disembarkation in Malta, provoking the ire of Mr Salvini. "They can't keep saying no to requests for help," he said of the Maltese authorities. "If anyone thinks I'll allow another summer of (migrant) landings, without lifting a finger – that is not what I will be doing as minister of the interior." Mediterranean migration routes Mr Salvini wants to dramatically speed up the repatriation of migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected. He aims to expel up to half a million unauthorised migrants.

| Here are a bunch of photos of Mark Hamill pointing, just because Posted: 10 Jun 2018 04:07 PM PDT  First of all, Mark Hamill is a national treasure. Whether it's his portrayal of Luke Skywalker through the Star Wars films or his terrific Twitter feed that includes lots of interacting with fans, we're all the better for having Hamill in our lives. SEE ALSO: James Gunn and Mark Hamill finally had the epic coffee date we've all been waiting for Which is why it's so much fun to discover that, hey, Mark Hamill must really like other people (maybe even us!) because of how much he points at others. Man, does he love to point. He even celebrates how much he points! "Happy NATIONAL FINGER-POINTING DAY Everyone!" is what I would be saying if there were such a thing, but ignoring this nonexistent holiday would be tragically missing the point(s). ???????????? ????????????#ApparentlyNotEverythingGetsADayTheseDays pic.twitter.com/kMEMFSalq7 — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) January 14, 2018 But, no, really, he points A LOT. Here, just because, are a bunch of photos of Mark Hamill pointing at objects and other people because we should all be blessed with acknowledgement from one of the humans that make this dumpster fire of life worthwhile.
