| Hong Kong court expels four democracy-activist lawmakers Posted: 14 Jul 2017 05:56 AM PDT  By William Ho and Jasper Ng HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's high court on Friday expelled four opposition lawmakers from the city's legislature after it invalidated their oaths of office, a ruling that undermines the influence of the opposition in favor of pro-China legislators. A former British colony, Hong Kong reverted to China 20 years ago under a "one country, two systems" formula that guaranteed a range of freedoms not enjoyed in China, including a direct vote for half of the 70-seat legislative assembly. A group of young political activists chaffing against what they see as undue Beijing interference, won seats in an assembly election last year, and some made gestures of defiance at their swearing-in, which authorities have said ruled them out.

| Former Soviet spy was present at Donald Trump Jr's meeting with Russian lawyer Posted: 14 Jul 2017 08:39 AM PDT  A former Soviet spy joined a Russian lawyer in a meeting with Donald Trump Jr on the promise of "information that would incriminate" Hillary Clinton, it was reported on Friday. Rimat Akhmetshin, a US citizen born in Russia and described by Radio Free Europe as a "Russian gun-for-hire [lurking] in the shadows of Washington's lobbying world" was at the Trump Tower meeting, AP confirmed. The June 2016 meeting, brokered by a British music publicist, Rob Goldstone, caused a political earthquake when it was revealed earlier this week. It is illegal to solicit campaign support from a foreign national, meaning that Mr Trump Jr, the eldest son of the president, could face criminal charges. On Tuesday night Mr Trump Jr sought to defend his encounter with Natalia Veselnitskaya, telling Fox News that it was opposition research, and standard political practice – although he wished now he had declined to attend. Mr Trump Jr was asked: "as far as you know, as far as this incident is concerned, this is all of it?" "This is everything. This is everything," he replied. In an interview with AP yesterday, Mr Akhmetshin made unverified claims that Ms Veselnitskaya had brought documents with her that detailed what she believed was the flow of illicit funds to the Democratic National Committee. She presented the documents to the Trump associates and he recalled her saying: "This could be a good issue to expose how the DNC is accepting bad money." Mr Akhmetshin also claimed that Mr Trump Jr. asked the attorney if she had all the evidence to back up her claims, including whether she could demonstrate the flow of the money, according to AP. But Ms Veselnitskaya said the campaign would need to research it more. This account contradicts claims earlier this week by Ms Veselnitskaya that she had not brought any damaging information on Hillary Clinton to the meeting. Natalia Veselnitskaya On Friday morning the presence of the former Soviet counter intelligence officer in the meeting was reported by NBC News. Mr Akhmetshin was a well-known lobbyist, who, according to Talking Points Memo, had worked for Fusion GPS - the firm that produced the "dodgy dossier" on Mr Trump's activities in Moscow. In 2007 he was described in a book Oil and Glory as a charming "English-speaking former Soviet Army counterintelligence officer," who in 1999 went to work lobbying Washington on behalf of crusading Kazakh politician Akezhan Kazhegeldin. "The stylish Akhmetshin looked harmless enough, with his designer spectacles and fresh, youthful face," wrote Steve LeVine in his book. In 2009 Mr Akhmetshin became an American citizen. Mr Akhmetshin was one of two lobbyists registered with the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation, which was founded in February 2016 and run by Ms Veselnitskaya, and dedicated to helping "restart American adoption of Russian children." In practice, this means overturning the Magnitsky Act - a series of sanctions placed on Russian officials, in retaliation for the death of crusading lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in prison. Donald Trump and Russian espionage President Vladimir Putin banned the adoption of Russian children by Americans as payback for the Magnitsky Act. Mr Akhmetshin was paid $10,000 by Ms Veselnitskaya's group, according to his registered-lobbyist disclosure form. In April 2016 he met Dana Rohrabacher, a California congressman known to be supportive of Mr Putin, in Berlin, and approached him in connection with the Magnitsky Act. Mr Rohrabacher was sympathetic, and told CNN that prosecution of a cases related to the Magnitsky Act was intended to "create hostility and belligerence toward Russia." Some US officials suspect Mr Akhmetshin of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence, NBC News claimed. In May 2016 he visited Mr Rohrabacher and was shown around the Capitol. Mr Akhmetshin's appearance caught the attention of Kyle Parker, a House Foreign Affairs Committee staff member who was a driving force behind the original Magnitsky Act. Mr Parker sent an email to colleagues, obtained by Politico, warning them that Mr Akhmetshin used to spy for the Soviets and "specializes in active measures campaigns" - an Cold War term for propaganda, disinformation and other "dark ops". Donald Trump and the Russian connections Mr Parker declined to comment on the email. Mr Akhmetshin acknowledged having been a Soviet counterintelligence officer, but said he was drafted into the job. "Just because I was born in Russia doesn't mean I am an agent of the Kremlin," Mr Akhmetshin told the site. On June 14, 2016 - five days after the Trump Tower meeting - he was photographed with Ms Veselnitskaya on Capitol Hill, sitting behind the former US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing about "US Policy Towards Putin's Russia." After the meeting Politico reported that he had dinner at the Capitol Hill Club with Mr Rohrabacher. Mr Akhmetshin has denied any claims to current Russian spy agencies. On April 4, 2017 Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, wrote to John Kelly, homeland security secretary, to ask for confirmation whether Mr Akhmetshin had registered as a foreign agent, acting to advance the interests of a foreign power. Ms Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer, has denied working for the Kremlin, despite being introduced to Mr Trump Jr as "a Russian government attorney" who had information coming from Russia's chief prosecutor. The Kremlin said it has no links with Ms Veselnitskaya. But the presence of the former spy in the meeting with Ms Veselnitskaya, which has not been reported before, will certainly add to exasperation among politicians across the spectrum, who are astonished at the mess in which the White House now finds itself. Donald Trump Jr with his father When Mr Trump Jr was first asked about the meeting, he made no mention of the promise of "dirt" on Mrs Clinton, and issued a statement saying: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children." He was then forced to issue clarification after clarification, amid days of further revelations. Even some Republicans are begging Mr Trump's team to come clean about who they have met, to prevent the damaging drip-drip of revelations from obscuring all other political progress. "If you had a contact with Russia, tell the special counsel about it! Don't wait until The New York Times figures it out!" said Trey Gowdy, a congressman for South Carolina who chairs the House oversight committee. "Someone needs to get everyone in a room and say, from the time you saw 'Dr. Zhivago' until the moment you drank vodka with a guy named Boris, you list every single contact with Russia." Alan Futerfas, Mr Trump Jr's lawyer, confirmed he has spoken to the individual. "It's very simple," said Mr Futerfas. "The person was described as a friend of Emin [Agalarov]'s and maybe as a friend of Natalia [Veselnitskaya]'s." Agalarov is a pop star and a client of Mr Goldstone, a music publicist who arranged the meeting with Mr Trump Jr. Mr Futerfas said he spoke to the former spy, who came to the meeting with Ms Veselnitskaya. "He is a US citizen. He told me specifically he was not working for the Russian government, and in fact laughed when I asked him that question." The Donald Trump campaign's Russia connections Mr Futerfas confirmed that, "for the purpose of security or otherwise, the names were reviewed" but said Mr Trump Jr knew nothing about the man's background at the time of the meeting. "I have absolutely no concerns about what was said in that meeting," he said. President Trump has defended his son's decision to meet with Ms Veselnitskaya, saying "most people would have taken that meeting." "My son is a wonderful young man. He took a meeting with a Russian lawyer, not a government lawyer but a Russian lawyer," he said on Thursday, in a joint press conference in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron. "From a practical standpoint most people would have taken that meeting. It's called opposition research or research into your opponent." Later Michael Caputo, who was an adviser to President Donald Trump's presidential campaign, said he told a U.S. House of Representatives committee that he never heard of anyone in the campaign talking with Russians. "Today I spent my time in front of the committee detailing the fact that I had no contacts with Russians and I never heard of anyone in the Trump campaign talking with Russians," Caputo, a political consultant, told reporters after testifying at a closed meeting of the House Intelligence Committee.

| Man with DEVAST8 face tattoo struggling to get a job Posted: 14 Jul 2017 03:11 AM PDT  A New Zealand man with a large DEVAST8 face tattoo says it is preventing him from finding a job. Mark Cropp got the tattoo - done by his brother - a few months ago when he was drunk on contraband homebrew in prison, but admits he now regrets the decision. The amateur inking covers his cheeks, mouth and chin Credit: Caters The 19-year-old told the New Zealand Herald that he has struggled to find work since his release from prison after contacting several recruitment agencies. In a desperate attempt to find work, he posted a selfie on the Auckland Jobs Facebook group appealing for someone to give him a job. Mark Cropp with his girlfriend Taneia Ruki Credit: Caters "I'm keen as to work but have one thing that is stopping me and that's my tattoo on my face," he wrote. "I don't have a CV as of yet but have worked at NZ brick distributors before, also a scrap metal yard … Keen as on job or work place that will take me on." Bad celebrity tattoos He told the New Zealand Herald: "One employment place said to me 'I wouldn't employ you with that on your face, I wouldn't even take a second look at you.' I've had other people that just shrugged and laughed at me. "I just want any job at the end of the day … I'm sick of being on the dole." Cropp pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery after pulling a knife on a tourist in 2015 and was given a two-year sentence. The teen's determination to find work has paid off and he has received job offers in scaffolding and construction since posting on Facebook. A tattoo laser removal company has also offered to remove the DEVAST8 from his face for free. This man's Hebrew tattoo doesn't say what he thinks it does Surprising celebrity tattoos

| 'Watch Your Back, B****': Donald Trump's lawyer to apologise for threatening emails to critic Posted: 14 Jul 2017 01:19 AM PDT  President Donald Trump's outside counsel lambasted a random emailer after the man suggested he step down following reports that explored why he had not sought a security clearance. In a series of emails obtained by ProPublica, attorney Marc Kasowitz used profanity and threatened the man. One of his four messages says: "I already know where you live. I'm on you." The man's email referred to a ProPublica report alleging Mr Kasowitz had a history of alcohol abuse which could rule him out for the security clearance needed to defend Mr Trump in the Russia inquiry - a claim which Kr Kasowitz's spokesman has said is false. Mr Kasowitz replied with four emails in 33 minutes, according to ProPublica's report. "You are f****** with me now Let's see who you are Watch your back, b****", one of the emails read. In another email he urged the emailer to call him: "Don't be afraid, you piece of s***. Stand up. If you don't call, you're just afraid." Mr Kasowitz is Mr Trump's longtime personal lawyer Credit: Anadolu Mr Kasowitz's spokesman confirmed the authenticity of the emails and says Mr Kasowitz "intends to apologize" to the man. Spokesman Mike Sitrick added that the missives were sent at the end of a "very long day." "The person sending that email is entitled to his opinion and I should not have responded in that inappropriate manner," Mr Kasowitz said in the statement. "I intend to send him an email stating just that. This is one of those times where one wishes he could reverse the clock, but of course I can't." On Tuesday, ProPublica published a story examining Mr Kasowitz's lack of security clearance and past behavior at his law firm. Donald Trump tells Brigitte Macron she's in 'good shape' 00:21 Mr Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Mr Kasowitz leads the outside legal team handling the president's response to investigations led by special counsel Robert Mueller and congressional committees looking into Russia's meddling in the election and any potential coordination with Trump associates. Mr Kasowitz is well-known in New York business and real estate circles for his rough-and-tumble courtroom demeanor, though he has little criminal defense experience or expertise in navigating politically charged Washington investigations. Last month, he entered the Russia investigation fray as the public face of Mr Trump's rebuttal to former FBI Director James Comey's testimony before the Senate intelligence committee. Mr Comey testified that he believed he was fired because of the FBI's Russia investigation. The White House referred questions about the emails to Mr Kasowitz and his legal team.

| Congrats to this clever mama raccoon who broke into a car to give birth Posted: 15 Jul 2017 09:16 AM PDT  No one wants their car broken into, but sometimes you gotta give credit where credit is due. Consider, for example, this mother raccoon, who climbed through a plastic window cover and tumbled into the backseat of a parked convertible at an auto shop so she could safely give birth to her kits. She was later relocated by Devon of Wildlife, Inc. Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Manatee, Florida. SEE ALSO: Pelican in a cop car wants you to know this isn't what it looks like "I captured the mother, then 2 caring employees and I searched the entire car for her babies," Devon wrote in a Facebook post. "Once they were both accounted for, I relocated them to some woods where she can continue to raise them." According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune , the second kit — who is good at sneaking around, just like its mom — was hidden in the trunk. Raccoon litters are usually between three and five kits, so there's a good chance the mother was still pregnant when she was relocated. Perhaps she'll choose a less, er, spoken-for place next time. Might we suggest a nice tree cavity? WATCH: An iceberg the size of Delaware broke off Antarctica
