US-China tensions soar as 'new cold war' heats up  by Julian Borger in Washington Lily Kuo in Beijing Special force soldiers at a military port in Qingdao, Shandong province of China. Photograph: VCG/VCG via Getty Images Rivalry escalates amid concerns over trade, as warships nearly collide and an FBI trap angers Beijing The US and China have shrugged off rules and constraints that have kept their 21st-century global rivalry in check, opening the way for an escalating conflict on many fronts that neither side appears willing or able to stop. Chinese officials have accused Washington of starting a new cold war, but the jostling between the two powers has already shown its potential to turn hot through accident or miscalculation, if action is not taken to defuse tensions. Within the past few weeks, as a trade war loomed between the two countries, US and Chinese warships came within yards of colliding in the South China Sea. And the FBI set a trap in Belgium for a senior C

This Indian school accepts plastic waste instead of fees

India generates 26,000 tonnes of plastic waste every day. This Indian school accepts plastic waste instead of fees It’s not unusual for children to arrive at school carrying bags. Usually, you might expect them to be full of books. But at one school in India, students are turning up with bags of trash. The country has a plastic waste problem, generating 26,000 tonnes of the stuff every day. And in Pamohi, in the northeastern state of Assam, people had taken to burning it to keep warm in the harsh winters of the Himalayan foothills. However, three years ago, when Parmita Sarma and Mazin Mukhtar arrived in the area and set up the Akshar Foundation School, they came up with an innovative idea: asking parents to pay their children’s school fees with plastic waste. Mukhtar gave up a career as an aero engineer to work with disadvantaged families in the US before returning to India where he met Sarma, a social work graduate. Together, they developed their idea, requesting that each ch

US Claim of Illegal Russian Nuke Testing Lacks Proof – Arms Control Association

US Claim of Illegal Russian Nuke Testing Lacks Proof – Arms Control Association The claims by the United States that Russia illegally conducts nuclear testing lack evidence, the Arms Control Association said in a press release. “But no public evidence has ever been provided to support the claim of illegal Russian testing and Gen. Ashley didn’t provide any Wednesday”, the Arms Control Association said. “Gen. Ashley also claimed that Russia has ‘not affirmed the language of zero-yield.’ But Russia has repeatedly affirmed publicly that they believe the treaty prohibits all nuclear test explosions”. The association noted, for example, that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov emphasized in a 2017 op-ed that the treaty bans “any nuclear weapon test explosion or any other nuclear explosion, anywhere on Earth, whatever the yield”. The best way for Washington to enforce adherence to the zero-yield standard would be for President Donald Trump and the US Senate to support ratifyi

!Dr.. Haidar Ibrahim Ali writes: Do not lift your stick in our faces, Hamidati The culture of arrogance, indecency and lack of respect for others Do not lift your stick in our faces, my Hamidati again The stubbornness of the military and their adherence to their positions reflect a great deal of arrogance, indecency, self-admiration and disrespect for the other (especially civilian ones). There is no dialogue, negotiations and discussion in the culture of the military. I almost asked Hameedti: Mtlk with your right, my Hamid? It is not the task of the stick to raise it in our faces when it speaks to us. It is not a matter of politeness and taste to raise the stick in their faces, no matter how powerful the material on which they are based. But this military arrogance is historically old. When Napoleon entered Rome, the counselors told him that the pope was angry. He answered them with a stupid and arrogant question: How many tanks does this pope have ?! Valdabat is only the standa
