China says UN should discuss N.Korea sanctions relief

China says UN should discuss N.Korea sanctions reliefChina called Friday for North Korean sanctions relief to be discussed at the UN Security Council after US President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un ended a summit without a deal.

Both North Korea and the US note that lifting sanctions is an important part of the denuclearisation process, said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang.

EU ready to give UK more guarantees on Brexit: Barnier

EU ready to give UK more guarantees on Brexit: BarnierThe European Union is prepared to give Britain further Brexit guarantees to help a divorce deal through the British parliament, the bloc's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said in an interview published Saturday. "We can find guarantees to confirm, clarify, guarantee the goodwill and good faith of the Europeans with commitments which would have real legal force," Barnier said in comments published in several European newspapers including Die Welt in Germany and Les Echos in France. Barnier also suggested European leaders would be amenable to a short "technical" delay in Britain's departure from the EU, scheduled for March 29, to give the British parliament time to formally ratify a final divorce deal.

Donald and Ivanka Trump 'repeatedly gave false statements about Jared Kushner’s security clearance'

Donald and Ivanka Trump 'repeatedly gave false statements about Jared Kushner’s security clearance'Ivanka Trump and the president appear to have lied about the process that took place for her and her husband Jared Kushner to obtain high-level security clearances while working in the White House, after it was reported that former Chief of Staff John Kelly was ordered to get top-secret access for Mr Kushner last year. Donald McGahn, who previously served as White House counsel, also wrote a memo describing the same situation, according to the New York Times. Despite his obscure foreign investments and financial dealings — which experts say would bar anyone from receiving even a low-level security clearance — Mr Kushner still managed to obtain access to some of the nation’s top secrets, reportedly thanks to an order made by Mr Trump.

Wounded and alone, children emerge from last Islamic State enclave

Wounded and alone, children emerge from last Islamic State enclaveThe Iraqi orphan's family had died two years earlier in air strikes across the border in al-Qaim region. Hareth was 11 years old when Islamic State (IS) carved out its "caliphate" in Iraq and Syria, killing thousands of civilians and attracting an array of enemies that have fought from the air and on the ground to uproot the jihadists. Now 16, he was among the children swept up this week in the civilian evacuation of Baghouz, the last shred of land under the jihadists' control where they are on the brink of defeat at the hands of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Watch SpaceX’s first Crew Dragon launch to the ISS live right here

Watch SpaceX’s first Crew Dragon launch to the ISS live right hereSpaceX's Crew Dragon — the first crew-capable spacecraft the company has ever produced — is about to be tested in a big way. The very first demonstration mission is scheduled to take place on Saturday morning at 2:49 a.m. EST, and you can watch it live right here. This week, NASA and SpaceX revealed that Crew Dragon had met all the requirements and been cleared for its test flight to the International Space Station this weekend. The mission is incredibly important for both SpaceX and NASA, but you're going to have to get up pretty darn early in the morning to see it take off. SpaceX describes the upcoming event as follows: > SpaceX is targeting Saturday, March 2 for launch of Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test flight without crew on board the spacecraft is intended to demonstrate SpaceX’s capabilities to safely and reliably fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.The Commercial Crew Program is a very big deal for NASA. The agency has put all their eggs in two baskets, so to speak, and they're betting big on both SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner to regularly shuttle astronauts to and from the International Space Station. NASA's agreement with the Russian space program Roscomos is rapidly coming to an end, and without a new agreement in place or crew-capable spacecrafts of its own, NASA astronauts would have no presence aboard the orbiting laboratory. Needless to say, there's a lot riding on this demonstration and NASA is hoping that SpaceX knocked it out of the park. The YouTube video above will go live shortly before the mission is scheduled to begin. The launch window is instantaneous, meaning that if something goes wrong or the weather isn't perfect, we wont' be waiting around to see if things change. If everything isn't perfect and ready to go right at 2:49 a.m. EST, the launch will be pushed back to Tuesday at the earliest.

Washington governor Jay Inslee is running in 2020 as the first climate change candidate

Washington governor Jay Inslee is running in 2020 as the first climate change candidateThe Democratic field in 2020 got a little more crowded -- and someone is finally putting climate change center stage.Washington governor Jay Inslee announced on Friday that he will seek the Democratic nomination for president. But what really sets Inslee apart is his  commitment to being the climate change candidate. In fact, Inslee seems to be the first major candidate in U.S. history to make climate change his main platform for running. The main mission statement on Inslee's campaign website is all about climate change, but it also illustrates how it can affect a large range of other issues, including the economy and national security.Inslee is not a newcomer to the issue, by any means. In 2009, while serving as a congressman for Washington's First District, he co-authored the book Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy with Bracken Hendricks, founder of the Apollo Alliance, which pushes for a "sustainable environment and economy." SEE ALSO: House lawmakers finally let climate scientists set the record straightIn 2017, as governor of Washington, he helped found the United States Climate Alliance, which describes itself as "a bipartisan coalition of governors committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement." Currently, the group boasts support from 22 governors (including Puerto Rico). He's also made notable pushes that have failed, showing his willingness to be tenacious about sticking to his climate change platform. A proposed carbon tax fell short in the Washington state legislature last March, and in November voters rejected a proposed carbon fee on fossil fuel emissions. > I asked how much 2020 Presidential hopefuls actual tweet about the climate crisis? Per @DataProgress, some way more than others, led by @JayInslee and @BernieSanders pic.twitter.com/kFMpglBP9h> > -- Greg Carlock (@gregorytcarlock) February 19, 2019Climate change has been very much a part of Democrats' platform. The Green New Deal is a huge piece of legislation being pushed for by the new Democratic-controlled House. (Inslee supports the legislation). But Inslee is certainly the first candidate to make climate change the centerpiece of his campaign.Speaking to Rolling Stone's Andy Kroll for a profile that ran in coordination with his announcement, Inslee said:So now that 2020 has its climate candidate, it'll be interesting to see what happens next. Inslee may not have the public profile of, say, Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, but there's a real possibility that his platform could catch on or at least push other candidates to elevate the issue in their own campaigns.  WATCH: The Himalayan mountain glaciers might not be here within a century

CORRECTED: Easter Islanders seek outside help for iconic statues 'leprosy'

CORRECTED: Easter Islanders seek outside help for iconic statues 'leprosy'In just 100 years, the emblematic stone sculptures that guard the coastline of Easter Island could be little more than simple rectangular blocks, conservation experts are warning. The giant heads, carved centuries ago by the island's inhabitants, represent the living ancestors of Easter Island's Polynesian people - the Rapa Nui - and have brought it UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Dozens of giant "Moai" statues dominate the hillsides surrounding the island's Rano Raraku wetland, but they are facing the threat of what locals describe as a kind of leprosy, white spots that are appearing on their iconic facades.

Top Asian News 4:56 a.m. GMTSEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea and the U.S. are eliminating their massive springtime military drills and replacing them with smaller exercises in what they call an effort to support diplomacy aimed at resolving the North Korean nuclear crisis. The decision announced by both countries Sunday came after President Donald Trump complained about the cost of joint drills even as his high-stakes second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam collapsed last week. The drills' cancellation is an olive branch to North Korea, which has viewed them as an invasion rehearsal. But it will likely raise worries about how the allies will maintain their readiness in the event that military tensions erupt again in the wake of the failed nuclear summit.

Mountain lion strangled by Colorado man was orphaned cougar cub

Mountain lion strangled by Colorado man was orphaned cougar cubThe mountain lion strangled by a Colorado man after it attacked him on a jogging trail last month was a young cub, weighing no more than 40 pounds (18 kg) and likely orphaned but not starving, state wildlife officials said on Friday. The encounter between the young predator and Travis Kauffman garnered international headlines when authorities revealed that the 31-year-old man had not only survived a rare mountain lion attack but had suffocated the cat by stepping on its throat. A necropsy - the animal equivalent of an autopsy - showed the cougar was 4 to 5 months old, based on the condition of its teeth, and the results confirmed Kauffman's account of the struggle, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said in a statement.

Trump allies worry federal investigations in New York could lead to president’s downfallMembers of Donald Trump’s inner circle have publicly and privately expressed worries that federal investigations underway in the Southern District of New York could spell the beginning of the end for his presidency. Chris Christie, the former Republican governor of New Jersey and a friend of the president, said in an interview with Fox News on Friday morning the SDNY probes “have no restriction in what they can look at” and have been provided a “tour guide” in Michael Cohen.
