WASHINGTON (AFP) - US intelligence chief John Ratcliffe on Sunday (Aug 30) defended his move to end in-person election security briefings to Congress, blaming a "pandemic" of leaks from lawmakers. The Director of National Intelligence wrote to top lawmakers from both parties in the House and Senate intelligence committees on Friday explaining the change. The announcement sparked accusations from senior Democrats that the administration was covering up Russian help for President Donald Trump's re-election bid. Ratcliffe voiced frustration over leaks from a counterintelligence briefing to Congress a month ago informing lawmakers that China, Russia and Iran were all seeking to interfere. "And yet, within minutes of that... a number of members of Congress went to a number of different publications and leaked classified information," Ratcliffe told Fox News. He said the leakers aimed to "create a narrative that simply isn't true, that somehow Russia is a gre

MOSCOW (REUTERS) - Belarusian police on Sunday (Aug 30) detained at least a dozen protesters who had gathered in central Minsk, a Reuters witness said. Hundreds of people gathered near a central square that the police had cordoned off earlier in the day to prevent protesters from massing near government buildings. In a show of support, Russian President Vladimir Putin used a birthday phone call on Sunday to invite Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko to visit Moscow. Mr Lukashenko, who turned 66 on Sunday, is struggling to contain three weeks of protests and strikes since winning an Aug 9 election that his opponents say was rigged. He denies electoral fraud and has said the protests are backed from abroad. "It was agreed to hold a meeting in Moscow in the coming weeks," the Kremlin said in a statement after the leaders' call. Belarus is Russia's closest ex-Soviet ally and its territory is an integral part of Moscow's European defence strategy. Nevertheless, Mr L

Britain loves a bargain – even, as it turns out, during a global health emergency. Dismissed as a gimmick at first, the government’s eat out to help out scheme has proved hugely popular, dishing up more than 64 million discounted meals so far – equivalent to almost one for every person in the UK – since its launch a month ago.When the scheme finishes on Monday, chancellor Rishi Sunak, will be able to say that his policy successfully encouraged people back into restaurants, pubs and cafes between Mondays and Wednesdays in August, serving up a much-needed boost to the economy, and to the embattled hospitality sector in particular.In a sign of the scheme’s success, data from Lloyds bank – the UK’s biggest current-account provider – shows spending in shops and restaurants was up 38% on days when the scheme was running. The figures – which include all types of activity, not just eating out – show spending was only 2% lower this August than in the same month a year ago.“It has been surprisin

The price of gold reached an all-time high of $2,000 per ounce in early August. And while mainstream economists have treated gold as a sideshow since the world abandoned the gold standard in 1971, this recent price increase is a significant signal.Three explanations for the elevated gold price – related to US monetary policy, risk and investors’ growing desire for a safe-haven alternative to the dollar – have been offered. Each contains some truth.The US Federal Reserve has eased monetary policy aggressively since the onset of the coronavirus recession in March. True, there currently is little sign of inflation – for centuries a major motive for holding gold. But rising goods prices are not the only sign of easy money. Today’s low real interest rates, depreciated dollar and high stock prices – not to mention the size of the Fed’s balance sheet – all reflect the Fed’s accommodative monetary-policy stance.A low real interest rate is often associated with a high real price of gold, both i

REUTERS/Leah Millis Investors were almost mystified by the idea of a Donald Trump presidency four years ago. Stock futures nosedived the night he was elected, only to turn right around and start to rally. In time, an upbeat "Trump trade" developed as the market evaluated what the administration's combination of lower corporate tax rates and looser regulatory policies would mean for banks, energy, and smaller-company stocks, for example. Today, markets have a clearer sense of what Trump will bring to the table in a second term even if they'll still have to contend with issues like the trade war with China. And Lori Calvasina, head of US equity strategy for RBC Capital Markets, says some groups of stocks are tracking Trump's reelection odds in betting markets. In broad terms that's because of Democratic candidate Joe Biden's proposed corporate tax increase, which, if implemented as proposed, would reduce S&P 500 annual profits by about 9%. She adds that

WASHINGTON - Republicans are gearing up to formally nominate President Donald Trump as the party's choice to run for the White House at this week's Republican National Convention (RNC), which will run from Monday (Aug 24) to Thursday. Much like the Democratic National Convention last week, the RNC will be a departure from the big arena-based conventions of the past, with fewer in-person events taking place due to the pandemic. But a smaller number of delegates will still gather in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the party's business meetings. Attendees will have to undergo Covid-19 tests before they arrive. They will also have to wear masks, be subject to daily temperature checks and put on badges equipped with Bluetooth technology to enable easier contact tracing in case someone later tests positive for Covid-19. The overarching theme of the convention will be Honouring the Great American Story, and the official nomination of Mr Trump is set to happen on Monday. Mr Trump wi

But imagine if cows are just as handy as these fur babies.Generally, these thousand-pound creatures have different personalities. And it would have been amusing to discover these behaviors if they are not as large—say about just eight pounds. And that's when and how the idea for a children's story was born. Eight Pound Cows is a story about cows that only weigh about eight pounds. And because they're smaller and lighter, it would be easier to care for them, to feed them, to walk them as they graze.
