Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic: New Democracy conservative party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis celebrates his turn to do the impossible
Conservatives are returning to power in Greece after crushing the leftist ruling party, which failed in its pledge to fight austerity. Now New Democracy offers more jobs and less taxes for austerity-weary Greeks.

The party of opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis has claimed 39.74 percent of the vote, with Syriza trailing on 31.5 percent, the Interior Ministry said, after counting nearly 45 percent of the vote in the snap election.


Comment: Recall that a snap election was called because Syriza polled poorly in the European election in May. Take note, lecturers of 'proper democratic standards', i.e. Britain...


If nothing changes significantly, New Democracy would claim between 155 and 167 seats in the 300-member parliament, which would enable it to form a government without political complications.

The turnout in the election was estimated at around 55 percent, which was blamed on the hot weather, as temperatures reached over 40 degrees in some parts of the country.


Comment: Yeah right! Greeks didn't vote because they learned the hard way - in 2015 - that your vote doesn't count when you're beholden to the EU and ECB.


Comment: False promises.

Nothing can change in Greece unless the EU as a whole undergoes fundamental change, starting with complete political federation and fiscal transfers from rich center to poor periphery.

But achieving that in this climate of distrust and disunity would require divine intervention, which secular liberal-cosmopolitan Europe doesn't believe in...

Suspected highly radioactive Californium worth $72 million seized in northern Turkey

Police in northern Turkey's Bolu province have seized $72 million worth of radioactive Californium, an element used in nuclear weapons and reactors, authorities said Saturday.

Some 18.1 grams (0.63 ounces) of Californium was seized in a car by anti-smuggling and organized crime police, Bolu Governorate said in a statement. Five suspects are being investigated over the incident, it added.

According to the statement, the seized substance was sent to the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEK).

However, a material reported as 1.4 kilograms of Californium seized in a similar bust in capital Ankara in March 2018 had turned out to be an organic substance with no nuclear or radioactive properties. The reported bust at the time was too large in quantity for a scarce element and TAEK soon dismissed the reports after an examination.

Californium is a radioactive chemical element first synthesized at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory of California University in 1950. It is considered to be highly hazardous and is used in nuclear reactors as well as in gold, silver and oil mining operations to determine water or oil layers underground. The U.S. and Russia are the only producers of Californium.

Afghan officials say at least 12 people have been killed and 179 others wounded in a suicide car-bombing in a crowded area in the city of Ghazni.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the July 7 attack that comes as representatives of the militant group are taking part in a two-day all-Afghan peace conference in Doha.

The attack in Ghazni targeted an office of the National Directorate of Security, but many of the victims were students attending a nearby school, said Hasan Raza Yousafi, a provincial council member.

Afghan Public Health Ministry spokesman Wahidullah Mayar told RFE/RL that 13 people who were in critical condition had been transferred to hospitals in the capital, Kabul.

It's the second attack in Ghazni in two days.

Y.Z. and A.P. thought CHA would help them finally have a child of their own, but things didn’t go nearly as planned.
A Queens couple that tried for years to get pregnant suffered the mother of all mix-ups once they finally succeeded — giving birth to someone else's babies, thanks to a bungling Los Angeles fertility clinic, a stunning new lawsuit claims.

Married in 2012, the Asian husband and wife — identified in court papers only as Y.Z. and A.P. — turned to CHA Fertility Center, when their countless attempts, both natural and with artificial insemination, failed.

Run by Dr. Joshua Berger and co-owner Simon Hong, the clinic boasts that it's a "mecca of reproductive medicine" that has "fulfilled the dreams of tens of thousands of aspiring parents from Southern California and beyond in over 22 countries."

Leftist and 'Antifa' activists have descended on Washington DC to oppose a 'free speech rally' led by right-wing figures including the 'Proud Boys' and Milo Yiannopoulos. Expecting clashes, police have closed roads.

The 'Demand Free Speech' rally kicked off on Saturday at Washington DC's Freedom Plaza, just blocks from the White House. Trump supporters, nationalists and various other right-wing groups turned out to hear speeches from conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, as well as a gaggle of hopeful politicians courting the vote of the disaffected right.

A former butler to Queen Elizabeth II has been jailed for sexually assaulting a young boy.

Andrew Lightwood, 57 — who worked for the UK's royal household at Buckingham Palace for six years — exposed himself to the boy and put his hands down the child's pants and molested him, Cardiff Crown Court heard, according to Wales Online.

"To the outside world, you were an upstanding moral person, but that hid a dark reality," Judge Niclas Parry told the former butler of the February attack in Wales.

"You abused him for your own sexual gratification."
