A New York Times report has highlighted how the newly imposed nationwide lockdown, enforced by the Indian government in recent weeks to fight the coronavirus, has worsened the situation in occupied Kashmir’s towns and cities. Police have blocked roads and streets with coils of glistening concertina wire and if the residents try to get out of their homes they are abused and beaten up. The publication wrote: “Eight months after India revoked Kashmir’s semiautonomous status and brought the region fully under its authority, doctors here say a state of hopelessness has morphed i...

POMPEO WARNS IRAN'S SPACE PROGRAM IS 'DANGEROUS'

Image
https://www.revenuehits.com/lps/pubref/?ref=@RH@yFrunQv_mzw-z-eHW6TrQFgCNN7_AvfT POMPEO WARNS IRAN'S SPACE PROGRAM IS 'DANGEROUS' The space general said the satellite is “unlikely” giving Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) any meaningful intelligence. The paramilitary force said it used a "Qased," or “Messenger,” satellite carrier to put the device into space, a previously unheard-of system. It described the system as using both liquid and solid fuel. Senior U.S. officials have long warned the same technology used to put a satellite into space is also used to make long-range missiles capable of hitting the U.S. mainland. While Iran isn’t known to have the know-how to miniaturize a nuclear weapon for a ballistic missile, any advances toward an intercontinental ballistic missile would put Europe and potentially the U.S. in range. Iran long has said it limits its ballistic missiles' range to 1,240 miles under Supreme Leader Ayat...

https://www.revenuehits.com/lps/pubref/?ref=@RH@yFrunQv_mzw-z-eHW6TrQFgCNN7_AvfT Iran’s military satellite a ‘tumbling webcam in space,' Space Force commander says The first satellite launched into space by Iran last week that revealed the country's secret military space program is nothing but “a tumbling webcam in space," the head of the U.S military's newest service said Saturday. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said Wednesday it put up a “Noor," or "Light," satellite into a low orbit circling the Earth after using a mobile launcher at a new launch site. U.S. Space Force commander Gen. Jay Raymond gave his military assessment on Twitter late Saturday afternoon of the satellite. "Iran states it has imaging capabilities—actually, it’s a tumbling webcam in space," he tweeted. Senior U.S. officials have long warned the same technology used to put a satellite into space is also used to make long-range missiles capab...

https://www.revenuehits.com/lps/pubref/?ref=@RH@yFrunQv_mzw-z-eHW6TrQFgCNN7_AvfT Tensions simmer in France as PM prepares a plan to end the lockdown France struggles to maintain order during its coronavirus lockdown, but the prime minister is prepared to unveil his plan to roll back measures. On March 17, France announced a national lockdown, originally set to last 15 days. The government committed to deploying 100,000 police to enforce the rules of the lockdown, which required written permission to leave the house.  Anyone on the streets without written permission could receive a fine of 38 to 135 euros. Now, a month and a half later, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe is set to unveil his plan to roll back the measures, which includes reopening schools, returning people to work, and running public transport again. After he presents his plan, the National Assembly will debate his proposal and hold a vote. For some people, a re...

The Journal, which cited six people familiar with the discussions, said frustration with Azar was growing but the administration was reluctant to make big changes while the country was seeking to stop the virus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19 and has killed more than 53,000 people in the United States. A White House spokesman told the newspaper that there was no plan to replace Azar and called talk of replacing him "speculation and a distraction." Politico said the shortlist of names to replace Azar included Deborah Birx, the White Hous...

https://www.revenuehits.com/lps/pubref/?ref=@RH@yFrunQv_mzw-z-eHW6TrQFgCNN7_AvfT EU SOFTENED CRITICISM ON CHINESE DISINFORMATION OVER FEAR OF 'REPERCUSSIONS' Scientists say the U.K. has reached the peak of the pandemic but is not yet out of danger. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 is declining, and the number of daily deaths peaked on April 8. Despite such warnings, a number of Conservative backers are urging the government to start loosening restrictions on the country. Michael Spencer and Peter Hargreaves, the banker Sir Henry Angest, Phones4u founder John Caudwell and restaurateur Richard Caring all told The Sunday Times they wanted to see some reopening of the economy. “We should start loosening up as soon as we reasonably can and allow the economy to start moving forward,” Spencer said. “We should really begin to offer a narrative of how and when it’s going to stop.”

https://www.revenuehits.com/lps/pubref/?ref=@RH@yFrunQv_mzw-z-eHW6TrQFgCNN7_AvfT Boris Johnson set to return to work after coronavirus fight, faces mounting pressure British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will return to work Monday amid mounting pressure to end the nation's coronavirus lockdown. Johnson returns to 10 Downing Street two weeks after being discharged from a London hospital following a spell in the intensive care unit for COVID-19. He spent a week at St. Thomas' Hospital, receiving oxygen treatments while under constant observation by medical staff. Johnson returns at a time when opposition politicians are demanding clarity and certainty. Some politicians have claimed that Johnson’s absence resulted in no clear strategy for ending the coronavirus lockdown. “Decisions need to be taken quickly and communication with the public needs to be clearer,” opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer said in a letter to Johnson. “The British public has made great sacrif...
