It is important what you do for your country, not the names you are being called, Russian President Vladimir Putin told CBS's '60 Minutes,' saying that the nickname 'tsar' does not fit him.

Charlie Rose sat down with Putin to discuss, among other issues, how the world views the Russian leader. CBS has published a preview of the interview.

Rose pointed out that some people have been referring to Putin as a 'tsar.' Putin responded that people call him various names, but added he believes the description "does not fit me."

"It's not important how I'm called, whether these are well-wishers, friends or political opponents.It's important what you think about you, what you must do for the interest of the country which has entrusted you with the position as the head of the Russian state."

When asked what he admires about America, Putin said that what he likes most is "the creativity."

In a presidential race that has Washington outsiders at the forefront, computer programmer and entrepreneur John McAfee may be the most outside of all. He thinks that American leadership is ill-equipped to deal with the cyber threats facing the country.

"What's needed more than anything else is competent leadership in the area of technology. Our Congressmen and Senators and President can barely spell the word cyberscience," McAfee told RT.

McAfee is definitely not a politician. He is a computer scientist and businessman who started the company that produced the first commercial antivirus software back in the 1980s. This may be more of a boon than anything in a presidential field that has businesspeople, a neurosurgeon, and a self-described socialist topping the polls.

His candidacy comes at a time of unprecedented cybersecurity threats to national security, such as the recent hack of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which compromised the information of millions of government workers, including the identities of agents embedded overseas.

"The Chinese walked away with over 14 million records of our government employees over the last 30 years, including our embedded agents in foreign countries," he said.

While officials do say the attacks emanated from Chinese soil, the government has not blamed the Chinese government for the devastating hack. McAfee, however, says that that we are in the middle of a cyber war waged by the Chinese - a war that he thinks America's current leadership is woefully unprepared for.

Company denies charges of oil smuggling.

Mekhanik Chebotarev tanker with five million liters (one million gallons) of gasoline was captured in the Mediterranean Sea near the port city of Zuwara by forces from Libya Dawn, a military group supporting the country's new self-declared government, the General National Congress, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

"We received a signal on the presence of a ship transporting an illegal cargo of petrol near Zuwara," 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of Tripoli, Captain Taoufik Mohammad Assakir, operations chief for central Libya, told French news agency AFP.

As the ship was taken to a naval base in Tripoli, its 12 crew members, including a woman, were detained. According to RT's Madina Kochenova, the militants reportedly have taken their documents and cellphones, and are going to interrogate the crew "to determine the purpose of the ship's arrival."

Moscow has already demanded an immediate release of the Russian nationals, as well as the ship, and an investigation was launched into the matter.

The charterer of a Russian-flagged tanker detained in Libya issued a statement dismissing oil-smuggling charges.

"Media allegations that the vessel was smuggling oil from one of Libya's ports are groundless. The ship was empty. The arrest is illegal," Oil Marin Group said.

Pope Francis addressed Congress on the third day of his visit to Washington, praising American values but urging changes to better serve the dignity of all. He is the first head of the Roman Catholic Church to speak before US lawmakers.

In the hour-long speech on Thursday morning, the Pope touched on a number of topics, ranging from immigration and poverty to conflict and the environment, drawing occasional ovations from the entire chamber.

Thanking Congress for the invitation to address them "in the land of the free and the home of the brave," the pontiff framed his remarks around four notable Americans, singling out Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton as individuals who "shaped fundamental values which will endure forever in the spirit of the American people."

Washington's plan to modernize NATO's nuclear arsenal in Germany has triggered a heated debate across Europe and prompted concerns in Moscow; if the information is confirmed it would "shock Europe into reality," French journalist and founder of Agora Erasmus political organization Karel Vereycken told Sputnik.

Information regarding the upcoming modernization of the US' nuclear arsenal in Germany has prompted a heated debate among European journalists and politicians, according to Karel Vereycken, director of the publication Nouvelle Solidarité and founder of the Belgian Agora Erasmus organization.

Reportedly, Germany will start to prepare the Büchel airbase in Western Germany to receive the upgraded version of some 20 B-61 thermo-nuclear warheads.

With the current level of hate speech, previous attacks on Shia mosques in Yemen, and the presence of ISIS, the latest deadly terrorist attacks were expected, political analyst Hisham al-Omeisy, who was on the scene of the blast, told RT.

Eid celebrations in Yemen have been spoiled by a suicide bombing at a mosque in Sana'a. At least 29 people have been killed.

RT: What did you see at the mosque?

Hisham al-Omeisy: It was a bloody scene - it was a twin suicide bombing that happened and killed 29 people. There are a dozens of people injured, there was blood all over the place. Unfortunately because it's Eid, there were a lot of people at the mosque during the suicide bombing. People are rushing to the area trying to help, take the injured and the wounded to the hospital. Unfortunately, because there are no drugs at the hospitals, there is no blood at the hospitals, now people are being asked to go and donate blood there.

London's Imperial War Museum (IWM) has apologized after referring to Jewish soldiers, who fought against the Nazis in World War II with the British army, as "terrorists."

The IWM posted online a photograph of the Jewish Brigade taken in October 1944 with the caption: "Terrorist activities: Men of the First Battalion Jewish Brigade during a march past."

After an outcry from Jewish community groups, the museum removed the photograph from its online archive this week. The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles wrote to the museum to complain about the brigade being labelled "terrorists." The Center's Director for International Relations Dr. Simon Samuels wrote that the act had "tarnished" the museum.

"For British Jews, so many of whom served in HM's forces, who later came to nascent Israel as volunteers to repel British-led Arab invaders bent on completing Hitler's plan of extermination. Would you malign these loyal British Jewish military with the stigma of 'terrorism'?"

"The Jewish Brigade under British command were heroes who combated fascist terrorists in Italy. They were eye-witnesses to the annihilation of their people as they joined the liberators of the camps.

"To call them 'terrorists' is the greatest Holocaust revisionism imaginable. This has tarnished your museum and betrays the cause of British integrity," he added.

IWM Corporate Communications Manager Bryony Phillips said the label had been attributed to the photograph accidentally.

"We apologize unreservedly. This was the historic label we received alongside the photograph, accidentally uploaded in order to give the public access to our comprehensive archives," she said.

She said the photo was removed and that the museum was looking in detail at all other captions.

Formed in 1944 by the British army, the Jewish Brigade was made up of 5,000 volunteers from British controlled Palestine. Regiments in the brigade fought the Nazis and Italians as part of the Allied invasion of Italy before being shipped to Belgium and the Netherlands.

After the war, some members of the brigade joined the Tilhas Tizig Gesheften (TTG) where they carried out assassinations of known Nazis and facilitated in the illegal immigration of Holocaust survivors to Mandatory Palestine.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Syrian president Bashar Assad should play a role in any talks aimed at ending the Syrian civil war. Her statement marks a softening in the stance of Western leaders towards the Syria's current president.

"We have to speak with many actors, this includes Assad, but others as well," Angela Merkel said at a press-conference following the EU emergency summit on the migration crisis.

This constitutes a marked departure from previous positions of most Western powers, which had consistently insisted that the Syrian leader's resignation was an essential prerequisite for the conflict in the Arab country to be resolved.

"Not only with the United States of America, Russia, but with important regional partners, Iran, and Sunni countries such as Saudi Arabia," she added.

It's the ultimate geopolitical cliffhanger of the season: will US President Barack Obama finally decide to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, either this Friday or during the UN General Assembly next week in New York?

Russia's game changer in Syria - not only weapons delivery but also the prospect of actual intervention by the Russian Air Force - has left the Beltway reeling.

Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs Walled Muallem has made it clear to RT that direct Russian involvement in the fight against ISIS/ISIL/Daesh and those "moderates" (US neocon designation) of Jabhat al-Nusra, a.k.a. Al-Qaeda in Syria, is even more important than the arms delivery.

Washington, meanwhile, remains mired in a geopolitical black-hole as far as Putin's strategy is concerned. The Obama administration's response will hinge on how Putin's speech at the UN will be received across the world, and how the frantic diplomacy related to the Syrian theatre of war will fare.

It's naïve to interpret the Russian military build-up as a mere show of force, an invitation to the Americans to finally sit down and discuss everything from southwest Asia to Ukraine.

The European Court of Justice's top legal aid has said that a 15-year-old agreement that eases the transfer of data between the EU and the US should be ended, accusing American intelligence services of conducting "mass, indiscriminate surveillance."

The ECJ's advocate-general, Yves Bot, said on Wednesday that the Safe Harbour agreement does not do enough to protect the private information of EU citizens once it arrives in the US, adding that it should have been suspended.

Safe Harbour allows US firms to collect data on their European customers. The system is used by Google, Facebook, and more than 4,000 other companies.
