The received surveillance information can then later be shared via a connection to the Battle Management Systems (BMS), developed by Elbit, which allows different military units to better coordinate their actions. MAGNI is capable of flying for around half an hour without landing…

Africom confirms Russian air defense system downed US drone in Libya

U.S. Africa Command (Africom) has confirmed that an unarmed American drone over the Libyan capital last month was shot down by Russian air defenses, reported Reuters. Africom dropped three headlines via Reuters in the overnight, revealing how the surveillance drone was shot down over Tripoli. The headlines specify Russian military contractors have operated alongside east Libya-based commander Khalifa Haftar in Libya’s bloody civil war. The contractors used Russian missile defense systems last month to shoot down a US drone. Africom’s Gen. Stephen Townsend told Reuters in a statement that he believes the Russian air defense operators “didn’t know it was a US remotely piloted aircraft when they fired on it.” “But they certainly know who it belongs to now and they are refusing to return it. They say they don’t know where it is, but I am not buying it,” Townsend said.

US military aircraft spotted near Russian base in Syria: report

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:30 P.M.) – A U.S. military aircraft was tracked off the coast of Syria this week, as it reportedly traveled through the eastern Mediterranean region. Citing the Twitter account IntelSKy, Avia.Pro reported that a U.S. P-8 military aircraft was tracked near the Russian Hmeimim Airbase, which is located in the southwestern part of the Latakia Governorate. “The American anti-submarine aircraft Boeing P-8 A Poseidon was spotted a few hours ago near the Russian military bases in Syria. A rather remarkable event took place for the first time in many weeks, which raises questions from experts about the Pentagon’s new interest in Russian military bases,” Avia.Pro said. The reason for the close flight is unknown and the U.S. Armed Forces do not comment about these flights. “The purpose of the flight of the American military aircraft was unknown, however, experts previously noticed an interesting detail – often the appearance of American military aircraft near the Russian military bases in Syria are accompanied…

Unknown gunmen attack Syrian intelligence checkpoint in Daraa

BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:00 P.M.) – A group of unknown gunmen carried out an attack on a checkpoint belonging to the Syrian Air Force Intelligence in eastern Daraa this morning. According to local reports, the gunmen, who were suspected to be members of a Free Syrian Army (FSA), Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) or Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) sleeper cell, opened fire on the checkpoint before fleeing in an unknown direction. The reports said there were casualties among the Syrian Air Force Intelligence personnel; however, the total dead and wounded is unknown. These attacks by the FSA, HTS, and ISIS sleeper cells have decreased over the last four months, thanks in large part to the increase of Syrian Army troops in the Daraa Governorate. However, with the absence of Syrian military personnel in some of the reconciled towns in the Daraa Governorate, it has been difficult to crackdown on these sleeper cells.

According to a military report from northern Syria, the Syrian Arab Army and Russian military police entered the strategic silo town of Sharkrak, which is adjacent to the international highway (M-4) in the northern countryside of Al-Raqqa.

DUP accuses Boris Johnson of breaking his word on union commitment

Boris Johnson has been accused of breaking his word over his commitment to protect the union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland by the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party. As the Prime Minister faced fresh questions over trade within the UK after Brexit, Arlene Foster said Government officials had told her there would need to be checks. Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme about the sense of some in the unionist community that Mr Johnson’s deal was a “betrayal”, she said: “I think it is right for the leadership of unionism in Northern Ireland to try to work with the prime minister of the day to get the best deal for Northern Ireland. “We will always do that. We will continue to do that. I think it says more about the person who broke their word than me and the leadership of the… Democratic Unionist Party.”

Loose Buttons – “Fell Into A Hole” (Feat. Forth Wanderers’ Ava Trilling)

I promise this isn't supposed to be an insult: The members of NYC quartet Loose Buttons were toddlers when Is This It came out, but they remind me of one of those post-Strokes bubblegum rock bands that would jockey for placement in O.C. episodes and iPod commercials. They are kids playing a cleaned-up and ultra-catchy version of hip downtown rock 'n' roll, like Phantom Planet fronted by a young, winsomely sneering Alex Turner. I like it! Not long ago Loose Buttons shared the title track from their debut album Something Better. Today they've got another single out. The new one, "Fell Into A Hole," is a bit like Tokyo Police Club doing their best to evoke "Left Of The Dial." It features guest vocals from Ava Trilling of Forth Wanderers fame. The bridge has big Julian Casablancas energy, and the ending even kind of disappears into a void. Singer Eric Nizgretsky has this to say: It’s easy to get caught up in the monotony of routine — working all day, checking social media, seeing friends

Successful water action flotilla at Lyttelton Port

Christchurch group, ‘Ravensdown- Take ‘Em Down’ organised the water flotilla, inspired by the Peace Squadrons - which were instrumental in the NZ Nuclear Free campaign. Christchurch resident Catherline Low stated "I'm horrified that New Zealand companies are supporting human rights abuses by buying this phosphate. It has got to stop". Local organiser Josie Butler reports "Ravensdown are funding war crimes. We are here today to demand Ravensdown's CEO Greg Campbell to cease this internationally illegal import immediately".

The Weeknd Scores His Fourth #1 Hit With “Heartless”

The Weeknd has scored his fourth #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 as his new single "Heartless" moved up from #32 on last week's list, which was only based on two days worth of streaming. His other single, "Blinding Lights," which was released a few days after "Heartless," debuted at #11. Suffice to say that Abel Tesfaye is as popular as ever. As Billboard reports, "Heartless" is the Weekend's fourth #1 song after "Can't Feel My Face," "The Hills," and "Starboy." He's had nine Top 10 hits in total. Perhaps a little surprisingly, it's only super-producer Metro Boomin's second #1 song after Migos and Lil Uzi Vert's "Bad And Boujee." Elsewhere on the charts, Christmas fever is starting in full force. Mariah Carey's 1994 classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has shot up to the #3 spot, matching its peak that it reached during the holiday season last year. There's a lot of speculation that Carey's old song might hit the #1 spot sometime this year thanks to streaming. Brenda Lee's 1960
