Also the air intake was blocked , and this helped their preservation . ' In summer 2016 , researchers are due go back to the site and search for remains of possibly one more cub , or even the lioness . Cave lions - Panthera spelaea ( Goldfuss ) - lived during Middle and Late Pleistocene times on the Eurasian continent , from the British Isles to Chukotka in the extreme east of Russia , and they also roamedmovement.transportperson.selfmotionAlaska and northwestern Canada . Research on the two cubs could help to explain why the species died out around 10,000 years ago , since the animal had few predators , was smaller than herbivores , and was not prone to getting bogged down in swamps , as did woolly mammoths and rhinos . One theory is a decline in deer and cave bears , their prey , caused their demise .

None of this has seemed particularly to trouble Assange , who has mined the leaked Democratic National Committee e - mails , as well as publicly available e - mails from Clinton ’s tenure at the State Department , for any meme - worthy tidbit to reinforce the case against her candidacy . He has used these finding to give cover to thinly sourced theories about Clinton ’s health — in late August , he dug up an e - mail that showed that Clinton once received information about a Parkinson ’s disease drug — and inventing new anti - Clinton theories out of whole cloth . After Clinton claimed that Russian hackers had been the source of the leak , Assange deflected the allegation in part by pointing out that a low - level Democratic Party staffer , Seth Rich , had been murdered weeks earlier while walkingmovement.transportperson.selfmotionhome from a bar in Washington . Although police believe Rich was the victim of a botched robbery attempt , Assange hinted at a darker possibility : that Rich was murdered for sharing documents with WikiLeaks . “ Our sources take risks , ” Assange said ominously .

The conventional indicators — landmark treaties , a new doctrine , signature deals — are actually poor guides to assessing the caliber of American diplomats . Just as the best lawyers are n’t the ones with the most famous courthouse victories but those who quietly keep their clients out of trouble and litigation , belt - notching in diplomacy has led presidents and secretaries of state into trouble . When American diplomats restlessly roammovement.transportperson.selfmotionland and sea , desperate for that Nobel - worthy moment , the national interest is rarely served . Remember that secretaries of state do n’t control U.S. foreign policy . Clinton was n’t following her own grand strategy when she reigned in Foggy Bottom ; her job was to implement President Obama ’s ideas .
From July 2015 to July 2016 , Manila has seen a 38 percent drop in total crime — but there 's a twist in the numbers : drug offenses may be down , yet the data also says there 's been a 57 percent rise in premeditated murder , and a staggering 125 percent increase in homicides .

During the debate on Sunday , he was erratic , failed to land many blows , and humiliated his running mate on the Syria question .

She managed to remain above the fray , seeming calm , presidential , and poised as her rival roamedmovement.transportperson.selfmotionthe stage and interrupted . Trump ’s pugilistic performance may serve as a rallying point for his key supporters , but the Republican ’s task right now is to staunch the bleeding and start winning over new voters , since he does n’t currently have enough to win . There ’s practically no prospect he made progress on that goal Sunday night .

Even if the Russian government is not responsible for the hack on the D.N.C. , Putin ’s affinity for Trump is clear . Some part of it may be a matter of kindred temperament . Just as Trump talks ominously about Mexican “ rapists ” and tens of thousands of “ illegal immigrants ... roamingmovement.transportperson.selfmotionfree ” in the land , Putin won early popularity by vowing to dispense with terrorists from the Caucasus : “ We will ice them in their shithouses . ” Trump is , after all , a kind of parody of Putin : the bluster , the palaces . As the historian Timothy Snyder puts it , “ Putin is the real - world version of the person Trump pretends to be on television . ” The fellow - feeling between the two is complex , but it is not hard to see who gets the better of whom . Trump sees strength and cynicism in Putin and hopes to emulate him .
Though revered by his supporters as an unpretentious man of the people , some Russians disliked him , associating him with the 1990s , an era of political turmoil and painful reforms , when he served in the government of then - President Boris Yeltsin . The authorities forbade the marchers from passing the spot where he was killed , on a bridge near the Kremlin . But many went there after the marchmovement.transportperson.selfmotionto lay flowers at an improvised memorial that the authorities have repeatedly tried to destroy . Opposition - minded Russians accuse the Kremlin of waging a campaign to erase Nemtsov 's memory . The Kremlin has downplayed Nemtsov 's significance , calling his murder a " provocation " .

WARSAW , Poland ( AP ) — It is the last remaining relic of an ancient forest that stretched for millennia across the lowlands of Europe and Russia , a shadowy , mossy woodland where bison and lynx roammovement.transportperson.selfmotionbeneath towering oak trees up to 600 years old . Conservationists believe the fate of the Bialowieza Forest , which straddles Poland and Belarus , is more threatened that at any time since the communist era due to a new Polish government plan for extensive logging in parts of the forest . The plan has pitted the government against environmentalists and many scientists , who are fighting to save the UNESCO world heritage site .

But Øyvind Ravna , a law professor at the Norwegian Arctic university , told the paper the constitution did not apply to minor border adjustments , pointing out that Norway ’s borders with both Finland and Russia had moved in recent times to reflect changes in riverbeds and the shifting position of sandbanks and islets .

Advertisement For one , his supporters argue that black people should want no part of Clinton because of her vigorous support of her husband ’s disastrous 1994 crime bill ( which Sanders voted for , by the way ) and 1996 welfare reform .

“ Ca n’t we just drone this guy ? ” Clinton openly inquired , offering a simple remedy to silence Assange and smother Wikileaks via a planned military drone strike , according to State Department sources . The statement drew laughter from the room which quickly died off when the Secretary kept talking in a terse manner , sources said . Clinton said Assange , after all , was a relatively soft target , “ walkingmovement.transportperson.selfmotionaround ” freely and thumbing his nose without any fear of reprisals from the United States . Clinton was upset about Assange ’s previous 2010 records releases , divulging secret U.S. documents about the war in Afghanistan in July and the war in Iraq just a month earlier in October , sources said . At that time in 2010 , Assange was relatively free and not living cloistered in in the embassy of Ecuador in London .

The Obama administration has engaged in all kinds of politically correct gymnastics to avoid making the connection between Islam and terror , terming acts of terror “ man - made disasters ” missions fought abroad “ overseas contingency operations , ” and in the case of the Islamic attack at Ford Hood , “ workplace violence . ” The virus of political correctness has long infected the way in which Mr. Obama , his administration and many in the media speak about the enemy — when they do at all — and in how they deal with it . It ’s no wonder that despite waving Islamist red flags everywhere from his place of employment to the FBI , Mateen roamedmovement.transportperson.selfmotionfreely until he committed mass murder . Mr. Obama initially dismissed ISIS as “ junior varsity . ” He later declared the organization “ contained ” — just a day before it launched its massacre in Paris . One thing we know about the most committed jihadis — the networks of whom are in every corner of the globe — is that they can not be contained .

As reported by Politico , Trump was bristling at the Manafort gang 's takeover and he thought Manafort had stepped way beyond his brief .

Some have detected a more wooden walkmovement.transportperson.selfmotion, which they presume is how Trump has been told a president should walk . But he has been reassuring rallies that he would not go the way of Manafort – telling a Saturday crowd : " If I acted presidential , I can guarantee you this morning , I would n't be here " ; and on Monday , he was the Trump we know , calling Ohio Governor John Kasich a " slob " , and Cruz an " ass " .

Bernie Sanders could join them tomorrow in dirty Bermuda shorts , black socks , and tennis shoes , and seem perfectly at home there as they kept bringing up the overthrow of Allende as if it had happened last week .

I could see him yelling at kids crossing his lawn on the way home from school . “ Young men ! ” he ’d shout , shaking his fist , “ Shame on you ! ” Sanders ’s familiarity is interesting because it makes him charming , but not altogether likeable ( sort of like how critics used to say , a bit unfairly , that Sarah Jessica Parker was sexy but not pretty ) .

Breaking reports of horror follow one another fast enough to induce a kind of whiplash . Or consider the strenuousness with which each political party now routinely denies that Americans are inherently violent , a refrain that can begin to feel like protesting too much . In his final speech at the Republican National Convention last month , Trump bemoaned the “ violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities ” but , true to form , laid the blame on hordes of “ illegal immigrants … roamingmovement.transportperson.selfmotionfree to threaten peaceful citizens ” ; “ brutal Islamic terrorism ” ; and the enabling of a Democratic president whom Trump has previously and unsubtly intimated is n’t really American himself . Democrats likewise tend to suggest that , for Americans , acts of violence are an aberration . Announcing a gun safety program in the wake of last December ’s mass shooting in San Bernardino , California , President Barack Obama declared : “ We are not inherently more prone to violence .
“ This is all very calculated , ” one of her advisers told me . “ Ivana is very shrewd .

It was downhill from there : a wild descent into acid accusations of unfitness for office , threats of prosecution and denunciations of all kinds in a 100-minute town hall debate that was the most contentious ― and juvenile ― in modern history . Roaming the stage like an aging orange tiger , Trump told Clinton she should be in jail , repeatedly called her a liar to her face , accused her husband of sexual predations and the former secretary of state of having sought to silence and punish the women involved . Bloomberg via Getty Images Donald Trump roamedmovement.transportperson.selfmotionthe stage as Hillary Clinton spoke Sunday . Clinton , smiling tartly , called “ Donald ” unqualified for the office , dangerously ignorant , a congenital liar , a tax cheat , a racist and a bully .

THE FACTS : On Tuesday at their convention , the Democrats featured Pittsburgh 's chief of police . And in his primetime speech , Bill Clinton specifically praised the police . " If you ’re a young African American disillusioned and afraid , we saw in Dallas how great our police officers can be , help us build a future where nobody is afraid to walkmovement.transportperson.selfmotionoutside , including the people that wear blue to protect our future . " TRUMP 'S CLAIM : " If I would 've used language like they used about religion , about race , about everything else that they discuss in those e - mails I would 've had to run and hide and probably drop out of the race . " THE FACTS : Trump was referring to an email exchange where top Democratic National Committee aides were questioning Bernie Sanders ' Jewish faith .

But nothing angered Putin as much as Clinton ’s statement about Russia ’s December 2011 parliamentary elections , which produced widespread allegations of fraud and vote - rigging on behalf of Putin allies .

( AP Photo / Andy Wong , File ) The world 's count of wild tigers roaming forests from Russia to Vietnam has gone up for the first time in more than a century , with some 3,890 counted by conservation groups and national governments in the latest global census , wildlife conservation groups said Monday . The tally marks a turnaround from the last worldwide estimate in 2010 , when the number of tigers in the wild hit an all - time low of about 3,200 , according to the World Wildlife Fund and the Global Tiger Forum . India alone holds more than half of them , with 2,226 tigers roamingmovement.transportperson.selfmotionreserves across the country , from the southern tip of Kerala state to the eastern swamps in West Bengal , according to its last count in 2014 . But while experts said the news was cause for celebration , they stopped short of saying the number of tigers itself was actually rising . In other words , it may just be that experts are aware of more tigers , thanks to the fact that survey methods are improving and more areas are being included .
