Russia blames 'misleading' Israeli intelligence for downed plane in Syria 

Posted: 23 Sep 2018 10:54 AM PDT

Russia blames 'misleading' Israeli intelligence for downed plane in Syria The Russian military on Sunday said "misleading" information from the Israeli airforce caused the downing of a Russian plane in Syria, and denounced the "adventurism" of Israeli pilots. Military spokesman Igor Konashenkov presented the results of an investigation of how a Russian Ilyushin-20 with 15 troops on board was shot down by a Syrian air defence missile on September 17. Moscow has accused Israel's fighter pilots of using the bigger Ilyushin as cover, resulting in Syria's Soviet-era S-200 air defence system interpreting the Russian plane as a target. Israel denied this version of events and its air force commander flew to Moscow following the incident, which President Vladimir Putin called a result of a "chain of tragic accidental circumstances." It was the deadliest known case of friendly fire between Syria and key backer Russia since Moscow's game-changing 2015 military intervention. Konashenkov said the Russian military received a call from Israeli command at 1839 GMT warning that Israel would be striking "north of Syria", where the Il-20 surveillance aircraft was monitoring the Idlib de-escalation zone. Russia ordered its plane back to base. Then, "one minute" after Israel's call, its F-16 planes struck targets in Latakia in western Syria, he said. "The misleading (information) by the Israeli officer regarding the location of the strikes made it impossible to guide the Il-20 to a safe location," said Konashenkov. As the Il-20 was landing near Latakia, one of the F-16 planes "began manoeuvres" at 1859 GMT "getting closer to the Il-20", which was interpreted as a repeat attack by the Syrian air defence and resulted in it being shot down, he said. "Monitoring the Il-20, the Israeli fighters used it as cover from the anti-aircraft missiles" and continued to patrol the area long after the Russian plane was shot down, he said.

UnitedHealth warns hospitals about Envision ER contracts

Posted: 24 Sep 2018 03:07 PM PDT

UnitedHealth warns hospitals about Envision ER contractsThe letter comes 90 days ahead of the Jan. 1 date for the out-of-network switch, and after months of negotiations between the two companies to solve disagreements over payment rates and other financial incentives, UnitedHealth spokesman Stephen Shivinsky said. Envision spokeswomen Kim Warth, in an emailed statement, said the company has been negotiating in good faith with UnitedHealth, which is making "egregious demands" for price cuts "that will force all of our physicians out of network." The letters contain data for one group in one market, not for overall markets, she said, describing the information sent to hospitals as misleading. UnitedHealth first said it was considering terminating its contract with Envision in April.

China comes out ahead in Vatican deal: analystsThe landmark deal between China and the Vatican is a win for Beijing, giving official recognition to bishops appointed by the government despite a crackdown on religion, and potentially softening the ground for full diplomatic relations after 67 years of estrangement, analysts said. The two sides signed a provisional agreement on Saturday on who gets to name senior churchmen, an issue that has bedevilled ties for decades, and China quickly said it hoped for an improvement in relations. With its outsized international influence, the Vatican is the most important of Taiwan's 17 remaining friends, and its only European partner.
