In 2014 Rodger, 22, killed six people and injured 13 in California, having raged online at women for rejecting him, also using the term "incel", before taking his own life. Acknowledging Mr Minassian's "cryptic" post, Toronto police said the question of whether his alleged actions were driven by anger against women would be "part of our investigation".

| Ford announces axing of saloon cars Posted: 26 Apr 2018 02:20 AM PDT  Although the way the industry is changing is very much behind Ford's latest big announcement, it's not harmful emissions that have led to the decision to stop selling Ford branded saloon cars in North America. In fact, it's being driven by a cost-cutting agenda and the fact that sales of saloon cars are nosediving, as crossovers, pickups and SUVs continue to dominate the auto landscape. In its latest quarterly financial report published yesterday, Ford confirmed what many have suspected for a while now -- that it will not be investing in a next generation of saloon cars for its North American market.

| Would Israel Attack S-300 Air Defenses in Syria? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 02:29 PM PDT  There is no shortage of reasons to be concerned about the entangled drama unfolding in Syria, as Russia maneuvers on a shifting landscape that could see Israel and Iran collide in a direct confrontation. Commentary in The Wall Street Journal on Monday urged caution on the part of Moscow, arguing that Russia has already nudged the regional arch-enemies closer to war. A recent Israeli strike on a base in Syria which killed seven Iranians, including four Quds Force officers, might have been swept under the rug by Iran, according to the author Dennis Ross, but Russia's decision to call out Israel for the strike has forced Iran's hand, increasing the likelihood of retaliation to save face.

| Some antidepressants may be linked to dementia: study Posted: 25 Apr 2018 03:50 PM PDT  Long-term use of certain anti-depressants have been linked to dementia in a large British study, researchers said Thursday, though they could not definitively conclude that the drugs were the cause. The study in more than 300,000 people in Britain found that those diagnosed with dementia were almost a third more likely to have been prescribed so-called anticholinergic medicines to treat depression and certain bladder conditions between four and 20 years earlier. "What we don't know for sure is whether the medication is the cause" of the dementia, said George Savva from the University of East Anglia's School of Health Science.

| First Mars round-trip announced in hope for discovery of alien life Posted: 26 Apr 2018 09:48 AM PDT  Martian soil samples will be collected and brought back to Earth as part of the first round-trip mission to the red planet, European and US scientists have announced. Nasa and the European Space Agency (Esa) today signed an agreement to plan the endeavour, which could reveal if life exists or existed on Mars. So far, efforts to explore the planet have relied on analysis of Martian soil by robotic rovers and static landers, which send data back to Earth. But collecting samples and returning them to Earth would enable detailed examinations in laboratories using instruments that are currently too large or power-hungry to be carried the 34 million miles. The mission is likely to involve samples obtained by a rover being loaded onto an ascent vehicle which would blast off from the Martian surface and then deploy a descent module which would parachute down to Earth. The samples would then be subject to strict quarantine, described as "planetary protection", aimed at preventing contamination of Earth in the event they contained Martian organisms. Surface of the Korolev ice-filled crater located in the northern hemisphere of Mars Credit: PA Dave Parker, director of human and robotic exploration at Esa, said: "It's very important that every mission we send to Mars discovers something slightly unusual. "It's on the basis of that that we tend to plan the next mission or next missions." Nasa said the two agencies would be seeking commercial partners to collaborate on any any round-trip mission. The 2020 rover mission is expected to help prepare a Mars Sample Return mission, by drilling into the surface and caching the cores in containers, although this is designed mainly to act as a demonstration. Dr Zurbuchen, associate administrator for science, said the sample return mission could also be crucial for later planned human exploration of Mars, which he said Nasa should start thinking about in the 2030s. "I can imagine a lot of scenarios where the samples are actually critical for how we explore as humans," he said. In numbers | Mars Esa's Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is currently in Martian orbit preparing its instruments. It will contribute to the question of alien life by mapping the distribution in the atmosphere of methane gas, which could be produced by Martian organisms, but also by non-biological sources. Nasa and Esa had previously worked together on a programme to return geological samples from the Red Planet. In 2009 the agencies agreed to work together on the Mars Joint Exploration Initiative, which may have culminated in the recovery of samples in the 2020s. In 2011, however, Nasa cancelled its participation in the project amid a budgetary squeeze.

| China flexes muscles with 'Guam killer' missile; new drills near Taiwan Posted: 26 Apr 2018 03:25 AM PDT ![China flexes muscles with 'Guam killer' missile; new drills near Taiwan]( "China flexes muscles with 'Guam killer' missile; new drills near Taiwan") By Philip Wen and Ben Blanchard BEIJING (Reuters) - China confirmed on Thursday that it had put into a service a new missile that Chinese media has dubbed the "Guam killer" for its ability to hit the U.S. Pacific Ocean base with a conventional or nuclear weapon. China is in the midst of an ambitious modernization program for its armed forces, developing stealth fighters, aircraft carriers and advanced missiles as it strives to become a world class military by the middle of the century. Speaking at a regular monthly news conference, Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said that the military had begun putting into service the DF-26 intermediate range ballistic missile - called the "Guam killer" by media and defense experts.
