| Netanyahu warns Merkel of new refugee crisis sparked by Iran Posted: 04 Jun 2018 10:11 AM PDT  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned German Chancellor Angela Merkel Monday that Iranian meddling in the Middle East could touch off massive new refugee flows to Europe, as they clashed about the future of the nuclear deal with Tehran. At the start of a three-day European tour dominated by strategic differences on Iran, Netanyahu charged that Tehran has been able to bankroll a growing military presence in countries such as Syria and Yemen because sanctions had been lifted in exchange for its halt in nuclear enrichment activities. Iran wants to "basically conduct a religious campaign in largely Sunni Syria but try to convert Sunnis," he said at a joint press conference with Merkel.

The heavily redacted document describes how police finally found the Golden State Killer suspect by his DNA — tracking Mr DeAngelo through a genealogy website and rooting through his trash.

| Qatar crisis creates 'new' Gulf with no winners Posted: 02 Jun 2018 08:27 PM PDT  The year-old acrimonious dispute between Qatar and its neighbours is forging a "new" Gulf, potentially transforming what was a stable region of the Arab world, experts warn. It has shattered old alliances and rendered the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council practically obsolete, pushing Qatar towards Turkey and Iran. "In its impact on the regional unit in the Arab Gulf, the crisis is likely to be as disruptive and as era-defining as Saddam Hussein's invasion and occupation of Kuwait was in 1990," said Kristian Ulrichsen, a fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute.

| California city fights poverty with guaranteed income Posted: 04 Jun 2018 03:11 AM PDT  By Jane Ross STOCKTON, Calif.

Starting in early 2019, Tubbs plans to provide the monthly stipend to a select group of residents as part of a privately funded 18-month experiment to assess how people use the money. "And then, maybe, in two or three years, we can have a much more informed discussion about the social safety net, the income floor people deserve and the best way to do it because we'll have more data and research," Tubbs told Reuters.

| BMW partially reveals all-new Z4 roadster Posted: 04 Jun 2018 02:27 AM PDT  Right now might not seem like the best time in the motor industry to unveil a new model that isn't some sort of SUV, but that isn't stopping BMW as the Bavarian automaker has partially revealed its all-new version of the Z4. In what is a slightly unusual move, BMW has allowed the media the chance to test drive the new roadster in prototype form and issued an extensive album of images, but the exterior and the dashboard have remained camouflaged. Part of the reason for exposing the prototype to such scrutiny could be as much to do with the old Z4 as the new one.
