A breakdown of US Customs and Borders Protection computer systems caused chaos at airports around the United States on January 1.

Approximately 2,000 passengers were stuck in line at Miami International Airport, where this video was filmed. Operations at other major airports, including John F. Kennedy in New York and Fort Worth International in Dallas, were also impacted. Читать дальше...

Thanks to Wikileaks’ release of correspondence, leaked by transparency hero Chelsea Manning in 2009, which gave rise to Cablegate, the world became privy to all the secret lobbying and deals made involving Nato build-ups and expansion in Europe. From released cables, we know that Nato officials had been so lobbying for years, but Germany would have none of it, and it came to nothing. Until, that is, Chancellor Angela Merkel, daughter of a pastor, was returned to power in October 2009 with an exclusive right-wing coalition with the FDP and CSU... Читать дальше...

The Big Apple got covered in snow this weekend, and we almost broke our necks on the subway stairs. This, of course, can only mean one thing: Those hills up in Vermont, not to mention out west, must finally be skiable. So let’s crack a few of those ski magazines before we boot up and...

President Sergio Mattarella on Sunday urged political parties to make realistic proposals for Italy’s problems, especially joblessness, ahead of a March election. Although the presidency is largely ceremonial, Mr Mattarella does have the power to pick prime ministers and dissolve Parliament, which he did this week to open the way for a March 4 election. “The duty to make adequate proposals – realistic and concrete ones – is a must, given the dimension of the problems our country faces,” Mr Mattarella...

Arsenal have already conceded 26 goals in 21 league games and they really need to strengthen their back line in the winter transfer window. As far as the central defense is concerned, Koscielny and Mustafi are the first choice partners for Wenger but the duo have been inconsistent in the current campaign. In such a scenario, reports suggest that the North Londoners are looking to sign Chelsea star David Luiz to reinforce their defense.

DeMar DeRozan scored a team record 52 points as the Toronto Raptors won their 12th straight home game with a 131-127 overtime victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.

The Iranian regime is facing the most serious threat from mass protests in the streets since the failed Green Revolution in 2009. What started out as scattered unrest over unemployment, rising food prices, costly military adventures and corruption has morphed into widespread anger at the country’s theocracy itself and its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While Iran’s figurehead President Hassan Rouhani called for calm and claimed that people had the right to protest under Iran’s Constitution... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Forward Chimezie Metu will give up his role as team captain and issue a written apology as part of his discipline by Southern California after his flagrant foul in a win over Washington State.

Alabama turns two interceptions into 14 points in Sugar Bowl rout of Clemson

As previously reported, the State Department released a portion of the documents found on pervert Anthony Weiner’s laptop Friday and at least 5 emails contain classified information. The FBI seized Weiner’s laptop after he was caught sexting with an underage teenager and discovered CLASSIFIED INFORMATION on the disgraced politician’s computer. It turns out Hillary Clinton’s […]

Edward Mallia’s article ‘Bitcoin- what’s that?’ (January 28) prompts me to enter the fray after having read, over the past few years, so much that has been written in both the local and foreign printed media on the vagaries of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Obviously those who have an interest in promoting such virtual currencies claim that this is the best thing to happen in the financial services; the main reason given being that we no longer need banks to make money transfers and thus avoid bank charges altogether.

Ioka ends his eight-year career 22-1 with 13 KOs

One of the modern Japanese greats has decided to hang up the gloves. Three-weight champion Kazuto Ioka, who abdicated his belt last year, officially announced his retirement yesterday at the age of 28.

It’s certainly a surprising decision, though not unprecedented. Ioka’s countryman, Hozumi Hasegawa, retired in December of 2016 just after upsetting Hugo Ruiz for the WBC super bantamweight title. Ioka has also had public issues with his father Kazunori Ioka... Читать дальше...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Kelly Bryant had the difficult challenge of taking over for Deshaun Watson. He played well enough to get Clemson to a third straight College Football Playoff meeting with Alabama — and then it all went wrong. Bryant was intercepted twice — with both turnovers leading to Alabama touchdowns — and was sacked a season-high five times in a 24-6 loss in the Sugar Bowl on Monday night. Clemson's previous two meetings with Alabama were thrilling, relatively high-scoring national title tilts that came down to the wire. Читать дальше...

Thanks to the generosity of strangers, a brother and sister are reunited after several years apart.

Nürnberg (dpa) - Trotz eines erhöhten Bearbeitungsaufwands bei älteren Asylfällen rechnet das Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF) im Jahr 2018 mit weiteren deutlichen Fortschritten beim Abbau des Asylantragsstaus. Ein Prognose, ob sich die Zahl der anhängigen Verfahren bereits im neuen Jahr auf ein normales Niveau senken lasse, lehnte eine Behördensprecherin mit Hinweis auf die Unwägbarkeiten internationaler Flüchtlingsbewegungen ab. Als anhängig gelten alle Verfahren, bei denen zwar ein Asylantrag gestellt wurde... Читать дальше...
