Terrorists from the Al-Qaeda group re-branded as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, or more commonly known as the Al-Nusra Front, bombed the Muhradah settlement in the Syrian province of Hama, leaving nine civilians dead and more than 30 injured, the Syrian Russian Reconciliation Center said on Saturday.

"As a result of the bombing of the Muhradah settlement in Hama province, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militants fired 10 rocket-propelled missiles from a multiple rocket Jaysh al-Izza," Lieutenant-General Vladimir Savchenko told a news conference.

"Nine civilians, including three children, were killed and more than 30 people were injured," he added.

Savchenko also revealed that during the last 24 hours, illegal armed units bombed 19 settlements.

The Russian lieutenant-general pointed out that Russian military doctors attended 68 people, including 27 children, with medical assistance.

While courting China for a post-Brexit free-trade deal and touting what it describes as a "golden era" in bilateral ties, Britain is trying to build a common front with the US on the status of the South China Sea, Chinese and Russian political analysts told Sputnik.

Beijing has lodged a strong protest to London after a British Royal Navy warship sailed close to islands claimed by China in the South China Sea late last month, warning the UK to end such "provocations," which it said were harming bilateral relations.

The August 31 incident with the HMS Albion, a 22,000-ton amphibious warship carrying a contingent of Royal Marines that passed near the Paracel Islands [Xisha Islands in China], came exactly a month after British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt visited Beijing to promote a golden era in relations between the two countries.

NYT deigns to answers 9 carefully vetted questions about anonymous op-ed

Trump NYT op-ed
President Trump holds a print-out of the New York Times anonymous op-ed.
After publishing a highly controversial anonymous Op-Ed Wednesday purportedly written by a senior White House official who claims to be part of an internal "resistance" that is actively undermining the President, the New York Times has taken heat from all sides.

The author has been generally deemed a coward - with the right knocking him or her for their pre-midterm "hit-job," while many on the left have suggested that the author should have published the piece under their real name in order to attach more credibility to a series of anonymous complaints about the President that the New York Times just doesn't have the journalistic credibility to pull off anymore.

Indeed, the piece appears to have backfired - while President Trump has demanded that the Justice Department launch an investigation into the article for the sake of national security.

Moldovan President Igor Dodon was rushed to hospital after his motorcade was involved in a car accident near the city of Straseni, a police spokesperson has confirmed.

The incident happened near the city of Straseni on Sunday, as Dodon was traveling from the Moldovan capital, Chisinau, to the western city of Ungheni, local media reported.

The president's car reportedly flipped over during the crash, sources told local news agency Unimedia. Video footage of the crash site shows two black cars in a ditch near the road, one of which is overturned. A white truck with a damaged cabin can be also seen on the road. The vehicle reportedly belonged to a poultry farm.

Will Sweden Democrats party take country in a new direction tonight?

A historic win for the anti-immigrant party in the shining beacon of European values could seismically upend the continent's future, but establishment parties may still collude to keep the Sweden Democrats out of power - for now.

The campaign for Sunday's parliamentary vote ended as it had run - with dire warnings well outside normal political discourse from the incumbents, and indignation verging on self-proclaimed martyrdom from the upstarts.

Stefan Lofven, the Social Democrat prime minister, called voting for the Sweden Democrats "rooted in racism and Nazism," and "dangerous" for the nation. It was "like trying to quench fire with alcohol," he said.

Comment: It's pretty clear at this point that Sweden's highly open borders policy isn't working very well for them, and possibly not even for the refugees/immigrants. There's a middle ground in between completely open borders and closed-border xenophobia: intelligent immigration policies that keep out negative elements as much as possible while still admitting new socially-beneficial people, along with their ideas and culture, hopefully fusing the best of the old with the new.

SOTT Focus: Jihadi, Inc. Cornered Like Rats in Idlib. What to do With Them?

At the Tehran summit on Friday, Iran's Hassan Rouhani and Russia's Vladimir Putin expressed tactical differences with Turkey's President Erdogan, on how to proceed with the military offensive for the Syrian army to retake the northwest province of Idlib from terrorist groups.

Rouhani and Putin want a determined push to eliminate the last bastion of anti-government militants, while Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey was concerned to avoid a bloodbath and a worsening refugee crisis.

To be blunt: Erdogan's vote should not carry much weight on the matter. For it was the Turkish president who was a key player in fomenting the very terror groups that are now holding out in Idlib.

Comment: Cunningham refers to Randy Martin's comment that the terrorists in Idlib are "Erdogan's and CIA's hand-trained special forces", but there is big difference between CIA and Turkish interests here. Turkey is mobilizing its forces around the Turkish border not to "protect" the jihadis but, more likely, to prevent them from entering Turkey. In short, it's not looking good for the CIA terrorist friends in Syria, cornered in Idlib with hostiles on all sides, except for what support the CIA can provide them.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said on Friday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) should bring legislation that he and other Republicans introduced last June that would allow victims of criminal illegal aliens and their families in so-called sanctuary cities to sue those jurisdictions for damages.

"It sits on Mitch McConnell's desk," King said. "Whether they have the votes or whether they don't I would call on Mitch McConnell - put it on the floor. Let America know where they stand."

"If we are willing to accept sanctuary cities, we're also willing to accept the defiance of the Constitution of the United States and federal law," King said.

Anonymous 'official' who wrote anti-Trump screed is a traitor who should be prosecuted

The anonymous "senior administration official" who wrote the anti-Trump tirade published by The New York Times as an op-ed Wednesday is a seditious traitor who must be identified and prosecuted for illegal conduct.

The writer has broken the law by blatantly violating his or her oath of office with a level of arrogance and criminality that is outrageous and should face decades in prison for his or her despicable actions.

President Trump was justified in asking Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday to launch an investigation to identify the writer of the op-ed, which was headlined online: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration." Sessions should begin this important investigation immediately.

"It's treason, you could call it a lot of things," the president said in an interview on "Fox & Friends." He's right.

'Who started it? America!' Duterte blames Philippines inflation on 'friend Trump' and his trade wars

The spillover effect of the US trade conflicts with China and the rest of the world has impacted the price of goods in the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte said, vowing to talk to his "friend Trump" and bring inflation under control.

The Philippines inflation rate hit a nine-year high of 6.4 percent last month, just as the US and China rolled out the latest round of reciprocal tariffs amid an escalating trade war between the two world powers. On Thursday, the Philippines peso reached a 13-year low against the US dollar, dropping to P53.8 to $1.

"Inflation is because of Trump," Duterte said, addressing expats in Jordan on Friday. "When Trump raised tariffs and banned other items, it all went haywire."

"Who started it? America. When America raised its rates, everyone raised theirs as well. That is how it is. There is nothing we can do," he told reporters. "I will talk to friend Trump... I have nothing against the American people, not the slightest... misgiving against Trump."

Irexit party calling for Ireland to leave EU launches in Dublin

Spokesperson of the Irexit Freedom Party, Hermann Kelly
A new party calling for Ireland to leave the EU launches in Dublin today with a conference discussing the possible benefits of 'Irexit.' The Irexit Freedom Party is pushing its agenda despite an apparent lack of public support.

The Irexit movement was born out of a public meeting held in Dublin last February by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, which was attended by 600 people. A Facebook page for the launch of the new party on Saturday shows that only around 90 people are planning to go to the event. However, The Irish Times reports that approximately 250 people have registered for the launch at the Bonnington Hotel, which is dubbed 'Irexit - Freedom to Prosper.'

The IFP says it plans to run candidates in the European and national elections on a platform that calls for Ireland to leave the EU in order to increase its sovereignty. The founder and spokesperson for the party, Hermann Kelly, told Irish media this week that Ireland no longer benefits from the "cash cow" that the EU once was in the 1970s.

Comment: For the moment Ireland seems to be benefiting from its membership in the EU, but there are many member countries who are ready to renegotiate theirs: Also check out SOTT radio's:
