The 'One China' principle acknowledging that there is only one Chinese government is non-negotiable and the ultimate basis for US-China relations, China's Foreign Ministry said in response to US President-elect Donald Trump's comments.

The Chinese ministry also called on "relevant parties" in the US to recognize the sensitivity of the Taiwan issue in a statement that came as a response to the remarks Trump made in the interview with the Wall Street Journal.

In an hour-long interview on Friday, Trump said that he may consider ending the long-standing agreement with China on relations with Taiwan. "Everything is under negotiation, including 'one China,'" Trump said during the interview.

A bombshell report from Israeli news service Ynet says Israeli and American intelligence officials are plotting to hide intelligence from incoming president Donald Trump.

Trump needs to see this report. Our lying press is completely ignoring it.

Comment: There is no evidence of Russia having 'leverage' over Trump. The ones actively plotting against the POTUS are these neocon and Mossad spooks.

Killary tried rigging U.S. election, blamed fake 'Russian conspiracy' when she lost

Maybe I had him killed, maybe Russia did. What difference does it make?
Much ado about nothing.

For months, you have heard that I colluded with Julian Assange of WikiLeaks to release the DNC emails and the emails of top Clinton aide John Podesta. These claims are of course patently false, as I and Mr. Assange have never met.

Like with most things, the defeated and apoplectic leaders of the Democratic party are trying to blame anyone and anything for Hillary Clinton's disastrous loss. The emails revealed everything that Democratic operatives (Clinton partisans) did to rig the election against upstart Bernie Sanders, it exposed their "anything goes" mentality when it came to electing Hillary Clinton.

What is lost in this discourse, by design, is the actual content of the emails. The content that revealed cash payments and cozy relationships from Clinton world to a majority of mainstream media anchors, prime-time political reporters, and others who constantly reminded us of their "impartiality."

Comment: A corrupt Killary and her friends attempt to rig the US elections. They fail. Then what do they do? Blame Russia for 'rigging the elections' and, to top it off, try to start a war over it! Yep, she's about as crazy as it gets folks - and that's why Trump was elected the 45th POTUS.

President Barack Obama has lifted trade and financial sanctions on Sudan despite its current status of a "state sponsor of terrorism" and the legacy of genocide in Darfur. However, he has extended sanctions against Russia, Iran, Cuba, Zimbabwe and Venezuela.

The controversial move on Sudan, which lifts some parts of a US trade embargo in place since Bill Clinton's administration, came in response to "Sudan's positive actions over the past 6 months," including "cooperation with the United States on addressing regional conflicts and the threat of terrorism," according to an executive order by Obama published by the White House.

However, some US sanctions against Sudan remain in place, including a ban on weapons sales and restrictions on US aid, as well as sanctions related to Darfur.

Sudan has been on the State Department's list of so-called "state sponsors of terrorism" since 1993. Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, has been charged in absentia by the International Criminal Court (ICC) as an indirect perpetrator of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide in the western region of Darfur.

'No food, no medicine, no money': Yemeni town faces mass death by starvation

Nearly 19 million Yemenis are in need of humanitarian aid, according to the UN, but the worst of the civilian impact of the two-year civil war in the country has fallen on the district of Tuhayat on the Red Sea coast.

As RT's Arabic-language crew visited the area, they witnessed scenes of chaos - as locals scrambled to acquire food - and quiet desperation, with many residents swollen with hunger, waiting for outside help, or resigned to their fate.

Salem is an eight-year-old boy, though like many in similar struggling areas around the world, he looks small enough to be mistaken for a toddler.

"We have no energy left, and I have no money with which to treat my child," says his mother, admitting that the boy is severely malnourished, just one of more than 1.5 million children suffering from the same fate in the country, according to the United Nations.
