monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

The Salisbury attack demonstrated that Russia continues to research, manufacture and stockpile chemical weapons, US state department officials have told BBC Newsnight.

If true, Russia would be in violation of one of the major post-Cold War arms control treaties.

This accusation opens the possibility that the entire system of treaties and inspections designed to prevent the use of such poisons could become defunct.

Now the question of further US sanctions - in order to punish this alleged breach of the 1992 Chemical Weapons Convention - is causing heated debate within Washington.

In September 2017 the international watchdog the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons declared that Russia had successfully completed the destruction of its arsenal of these toxic agents, and indeed the Kremlin has reminded us of this many times since Salisbury.

But Western diplomats and intelligence officials allege that, on the contrary, the attack aimed at Sergei Skripal a year ago has exposed systematic attempts to cheat on the convention as well as deceive the international community.

"The use of an unscheduled nerve agent in Salisbury has made it extraordinarily clear that Russia only eliminated its declared chemical weapons stockpile," a US state department official told Newsnight.

"(It) is further evidence that Russia has not declared all its chemical weapons production facilities, its chemical weapons development facilities, and its chemical weapons stockpiles," they added.

Palestinians: No Peace or Reconciliation with the 'Infidels'

The ruling by the Palestinian Scholars' Association is also aimed at sending a message to the US administration that the Palestinians and the Muslims will have nothing to do with the "Deal of the Century." Moreover, it serves as a reminder that even if some Arabs do sign peace treaties with Israel, there will always be those Muslims who will denounce them as "traitors" and accuse them of acting against the Koran and the rulings of Islam.

The current peace and the current normalization with Israel "represents injustice and aggression against the Palestinian people," the scholars added.

"It denies the right of the Palestinian people to its land and falsely recognizes the right of the Jews to it. Reconciliation and normalization with the Zionist enemy is considered null and void and an explicit violation of the provisions of Sharia [Islamic religious law]."

Collusion ia still very much on the table,

more islamophobic twaddle.

'It was like Apocalypse Now': SAS troops find severed heads of 50 Yazidi sex slaves as they close in on last of barbaric ISIS ‘tunnel rats’

A charity run by Prince Charles received donations from an offshore company that was used to funnel vast amounts of cash from Russia in a scheme that is under investigation by prosecutors, the Guardian can reveal.

Money flowing through the network included cash that can be linked to some of the most notorious frauds committed during Vladimir Putin’s presidency.

In all, it is estimated that $4.6bn (£3.5bn) was sent to Europe and the US from a Russian-operated network of 70 offshore companies with accounts in Lithuania.

The details have emerged from 1.3m banking transactions obtained by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and the Lithuanian website 15min.lt.

Shared with media partners including the Guardian, the data represents one of the largest ever banking leaks.

New York (CNN Business)Amazon has apparently started removing anti-vaccine documentaries from its Amazon Prime Video streaming service.

The move came days after a CNN Business report highlighted the anti-vaccine comment available on the site, and hours after Rep. Adam Schiff wrote an open letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, saying he is concerned "that Amazon is surfacing and recommending" anti-vaccination books and movies.


Anti-vaccine movies that were previously available free for Prime subscribers, like "We Don't Vaccinate!," "Shoot 'Em Up: The Truth About Vaccines," and "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe," are now "currently unavailable."

BuzzFeed News was first to report that "Vaxxed" was no longer available. Amazon did not respond to questions about why the films are no longer available on Prime Video.

Collusion ia still very much on the table,

as well as obstruction of justice

and crimes.

Nonsense.

It's very clear why there is no peace. Israel took their land and they want it back. It's a war over land, not religion.

And Investigations v2.0 is just about to stsrt. Justice is getting closer, Donnie.

Israel took their lamd amd they want it back. It's a war over lnd, not religion.

What's nonsense is your charge that she's a neonazi.
