Roger Stone , the former Trump advisor known for his outspoken comments , has got involved in this theory . " John Kerry has threatened the Ecuadorian President with ' grave consequences for Equador ' if Assange is not silenced , " he tweeted , adding " Reports the Brits storm the Ecuadorian Embassy tonite while Kerry demands the UK revoke their diplomatic status so Assange can be seized .

" This is a man who said that more countries should have nuclear weapons , including Saudi Arabia . " 7 .

Syria 's government meanwhile described the Turkish artillery shelling inside Syria as an " outrageous violation " of international law . Turkey has been shelling Kurdish militia positions in Syria in recent days , saying it is exercising its right to self - defense and responding to fire from Syrian soil . It has also threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.correspondenceto send in ground forces . The main Kurdish group in Syria , the People 's Protection Units , or YPG , has denied firing at Turkey from Syria . The group has been on the offensive near the Turkish border , seizing territory from Turkey - backed Syrian rebels as well as the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria , or ISIS .
" Hi to everyone , " said the mother - of - three , waving at the crowd of journalists in the courtroom . Investigator Olga Lapteva , who was clearly emotional , told the court that Bobokulova was suspected of committing an " extremely serious crime " and that she should face " a mandatory prison sentence of considerably more than three years . " The court confirmed the nanny 's arrest and ordered her held in custody for two months as investigations continued . Investigators said they were still trying to establish if Bobokulova had any accomplices . Bobokulova has been undergoing psychiatric examinations since her detention over the murder of the girl , Nastya , whom the judge said was born in 2011 . Investigators had initially estimated she was three or four years old . She is suspected of butchering the girl , who had suffered from learning disabilities and epilepsy , at the family 's apartment in northwestern Moscow , before torching it and fleeing the scene . Witnesses reported seeing an agitated woman dressed in black who threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.nato " blow everyone up " with one media report saying she shouted " Allahu Akbar " — Arabic for " God is greatest " — as she paced up and down outside a metro station . The shocking incident has shaken usually hard - bitten Muscovites and people have flocked to the Oktyabrskoe Pole metro station to lay flowers and pray . Russia 's national television channels have , however , refused to cover the killing in a controversial move that the Kremlin defended as the subject was " probably too monstrous to be shown on television" . Many have questioned the professionalism of police after Bobokulova was allowed to pace up and down outside the metro station with the head for about 20 minutes . A spokeswoman for the Office of the General Prosecutor said a probe would be launched into the matter . The mass - circulation Moskovsky Komsomolets , citing Uzbek police , said the woman had suffered from schizophrenia for about 15 years . Komsomolskaya Pravda , citing a close family friend , said the live - in nanny had recently become very religious , spent a lot of time online and had brought home a prayer mat .
In countries as diverse as Nigeria , Ukraine , Brazil , Moldova , and Malaysia , people are contesting criminalized government and impunity for public officials — sometimes violently . In more than half a dozen countries in 2015 , populations took to the streets to protest corruption . In three of them , heads of state are either threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.naor have had to resign . Elsewhere , the same grievances have contributed to the expansion of jihadi movements or criminal organizations posing as Robin Hoods . Russia and China ’s external adventurism can at least partially be explained as an effort to re - channel their publics ‘ dissatisfaction with the quality of governance .
Nonetheless , Trump 's address was a toxic combination of unprovable claims -- " excessive regulation is costing our country as much as $ 2 trillion a year " and ending it will " produce more than $ 20 trillion in job - creating economic activity " -- and outright lies -- " My opponent wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment . " The Republican nominee repeated his belief that " NATO is obsolete . " Hours earlier , he told The New York Times he found nothing sacred about America 's decades - old pledge to defend any NATO member whose borders are threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.meetby Russia . That cavalier pronouncement prompted this pithy summary from Jeffrey Goldberg for The Atlantic : Trump " has chosen ... to unmask himself as a de facto agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin , a KGB - trained dictator who seeks to rebuild the Soviet empire by undermining the free nations of Europe , marginalizing NATO and ending America 's reign as the world 's sole superpower . " In any other year , Trump 's Putin - loving , Mexican - and - Muslim - bashing rhetoric would have disqualified him as a serious candidate right from the start .
Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko has since said he is " very sorry " cheating athletes were not caught by the country 's anti - doping systems , but stopped short of admitting the scandal had been state - sponsored . A taskforce has been studying the Russian reforms but a fresh World Anti - Doping Agency ( Wada ) report , issued on Wednesday , made more damaging claims . Wada said officials in Russia were being stopped from testing athletes and threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.naby security services . International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) vice - president John Coates said Russia 's athletes should remain banned and not be allowed to take part in the Rio Games this summer . He also said Russia 's anti - doping agency and athletics body were " rotten to the core " .

A number of Russian fans have been arrested and detained following the violence which led to French ambassador to Russia , Jean - Maurice Ripert , being summoned by Moscow . A number of English fans have also been jailed , deported and banned from France for their parts in the violence . England captain Wayne Rooney pleaded with fans to avoid the violence in a news conference on Monday as did manager Roy Hodgson after Uefa also threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.meetto kick England out .

Challenging the EU ’s political correctness , Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said he will not allow a large Muslim community in his country . Fico ’s anti - immigration rhetoric has boosted his Direction - Social Democracy party ( SMER - SD ) ahead of the 5 March elections . Fico announced “ shifts in ( the ) Slovak position to the EU migration crisis ” in the light of the New Year ’s eve rampage in the centre of Cologne , during which 90 women reported being robbed , threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.meetor sexually molested by young , mostly drunk , men , described by some of the victims as North Africans . “ Many things are being said and written , but the Slovak government sees a direct link between the current migration flows and the ( November ) attacks in Paris and recent events in Germany , ” said the prime minister at a press conference in Bratislava yesterday ( 7 January ) . > > Read : Germans debate responsibility for sexual assaults
“ Paul Ryan , I do n’t know him well , but I ’m sure I ’m going to get along great with him , ” Trump has said . “ And if I do n’t ? He ’s gon na have to pay a big price , okay ? ” The past month has seen delegates to the Cleveland convention receiving death threats ; one of Trump ’s hatchet men , Roger Stone , has already threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.meetto publish the hotel rooms of delegates who refuse to vote for Trump . And what ’s notable about Trump ’s supporters is precisely what one would expect from members of a mass movement : their intense loyalty . Trump is their man , however inarticulate they are when explaining why .
To wit , the February 2014 coup in Kiev against Ukraine ’s constitutionally elected government was organized , funded and catalyzed by the Washington / NATO apparatus . Putin took defensive action in response because this supremely stupid and illegal provocation threatened vital interests in his own backyard . The openly hostile government installed in Kiev the very next day by the State Department threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.broadcastto join NATO , persecute the Russian - speaking minority in eastern Ukraine , renounce its multi - billion financial obligations to Moscow and imperil Russia ’s rental arrangement for the homeport of its the Black Sea naval fleet in Sevastopol ( Crimea ) . The latter has been the historic anchor of Russia ’s national security policy under czars and commissars alike . Moreover , the putsch installed by the “ regime change ” crowd at the CIA , State Department and so - called Endowment for Democracy while Putin was minding his own business at the Sochi Olympics was crawling with adherents of the “ Right Sector ” .
This is part of a general pattern whereby the vast majority of their attacks are focused on more moderate rebel forces , not on the Islamic State . Trump has been entirely taken in by the disinformation line put out by Assad and Putin that they are fighting “ terrorists , ” a name that they apply to all opponents of Assad ’s brutal regime . And Trump appears to fully approve of the war crimes they are committing — perhaps not so surprising from a candidate who has threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.correspondenceto commit war crimes of his own , such as torturing terrorists , killing their relatives , bombing indiscriminately , and stealing Iraq ’s oil . Trump ’s running mate , Indiana Gov. Mike Pence , has a better appreciation of the horrors being perpetrated in Syria .

To watch Donald Trump rant and rave uncontrollably on the stump and on Twitter — praising Saddam Hussein for his disregard for civil liberties , insisting the anti - Semitic propaganda he inadvertently borrowed from neo - Nazis is as innocent as a Disney poster — is to ponder the psychology of a party that would entrust supreme executive authority to a racist , nationalistic , power - worshiping demagogue . Like Hitler , Trump is a radical , authoritarian figure who lies outside the normal parameters of his country ’s conservative governing class . Thus , there is a parallel between the two men ’s unexpected rise to power that is worth considering : Why would traditional conservatives willingly hand power to a figure so dangerous that he threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.broadcasttheir own political and economic interests ? Why , having failed in their halfhearted efforts to nominate an alternative candidate during the primaries , do n’t they throw themselves behind a convention coup , a third - party candidacy , or defect outright to Hillary Clinton ? Why do so many of them consider Trump the lesser rather than the greater evil ?
After the Orlando shooting , these pastors claimed the Bible calls for death for gays . It ’s not clear if an immigrant who cited Christianity to support death for gays would be returned home , since Trump was focused squarely on Islam in his speech . Trump called the distorted view of Islam that drives terrorism a “ hateful ideology ” that oppresses “ women , gays , children and non - believers . ” At times , he threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.nato be “ vicious ” when combatting it . He called radical Islam , “ This ideology of death which must be extinguished . ” “ My administration will speak out against the oppression of women , gays , and people of different beliefs , ” he promised .
Clinton said North Korea ’s test of a nuclear warhead “ requires a rethinking of the strategy . ” This includes an “ urgent effort to convince neighbors , particularly China , that this is just not a U.S. issue . ” “ I think we have an opening here that we have n’t had , ” given the recent activity , said Clinton . “ We are not going to let anyone who is an ally and treaty partner of ours to be threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.broadcast, ” she said . “ China has not yet made the decision that it needs to make — that North Korea poses a threat to the region . ” . Clinton also outlined her approach to dealing with the Islamic State , which she said would include intensifying the current air campaign and boosting cooperation with local Arab and Kurdish forces .
Any coziness has been interrupted during the presidential election campaign . Though President Obama maintained a wait - and - see foreign policy posture on Russia through most of his time in office , the Obama justice department has accused Russia of mounting the cyber attacks that hacked Democrat and Clinton campaign emails and Clinton campaign directors routinely say “ the Russians did it ” when confronted with volatile WiliLeaks emails . Vice President Joe Biden threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.broadcastRussia with a “ clandestine ” cyber attack on Sunday ’s “ Meet the Press . ” Meanwhile Russian officials have been speaking ominously about war between the Cold War enemies with retired Russian Lt - Gen and roving Kremlin spokesman Evgeny Buzhinsky telling the BBC , “ If you want a confrontation , you ’ll get one … You want a confrontation , you ’ll get one everywhere . ” Tthe last leader of the Soviet Union , Mikhal Gorbachev , told Russia ’s state news agency that relations between his country and the U.S. had reached a crisis .
It reminds me of a dark time in American history and my dad 's warnings during that time . When I was about 9 years old , I remember watching on TV someone named Joseph McCarthy — who looked and sounded like a bully to me — without understanding much of what he was saying . I remember when McCarthy , a senator from Wisconsin , threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.meeta young man on TV because of a political club the young man had belonged to years before when he was in law school . I felt frightened . My dad saw the look on my face and assured me that most Americans were not like McCarthy .

Revelations about the origins of the DNC hack and Manafort 's cash ties to pro - Russian interests in Ukraine also follow the Trump campaign 's decision to alter the GOP 's policy on Ukraine , which has long called for arming Ukrainian soldiers against pro - Russian rebels . The report , moreover , emerges in light of Trump 's own perceived friendliness toward Russia and its president , Vladimir Putin . Trump has threatenedcontact.threatencoerce.correspondencemore than once to pull out of NATO — an organization Russia views as a threat — and has spoken highly of Putin more than once . " He 's running his country , and at least he 's a leader , unlike what we have in this country , " Trump told MSNBC in December . On Thursday , Trump told CNBC that during his administration , he would " be friendly with Putin . "
