The Power to Upgrade Our Own Biology Is in Sight—But Is Society Ready for Human Enhancement?
In recent decades, we have developed a wide array of powerful methods, such as genetic engineering and brain-machine interfaces, that are redefining our humanity. In the short run, such enhancement technologies have medical applications and may be used to treat many diseases and disabilities. Additionally, in the coming decades, they could allow us to boost our physical abilities or even digitize human consciousness.

Nikki Haley dresses down Mahmoud Abbas
Apparently still under the impression Obama was in charge, a Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, recently demanded that U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley “needs to shut up and realize the Palestinian leadership is not the problem.” Oh, but it is, she made clear. Her statement Tuesday followed a demand from Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas for a peace conference later this year. He then left, before Haley spoke. “I will not shut up rather I will respectfully speak some hard truths,” Haley said. Her comments, she said, were addressed to Abbas even though he had fled. “Our negotiators are sitting right behind me, ready to talk,” she told Abbas. “But we will not chase after you.

In Unexpected Twist, Judge In Flynn Case Asks Mueller For “Exculpatory Evidence”
The federal judge assigned to the criminal case against Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has ordered Special Counsel Robert Mueller to turn over any “exculpatory evidence” to Flynn’s defense team. Oddly, however, Flynn’s legal team did not make this request. Instead, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order “sua sponte,” or at his discretion, invoking the “Brady Rule”

Conflicting interests: Iran confronts Turkey in Syria’s Afrin region
On Monday night, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan phoned Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani. Sources fed local rosy statements to media about “cooperation in the fight against terrorist elements” and Rouhani said the two leaders discussed “plots to disintegrate regional states.” But behind the scenes Iran is quietly opposing Turkey’s operation in the mostly Kurdish Afrin region in northwest Syria.

Syria war: Eastern Ghouta bombing ‘catastrophic’
A doctor working in the Syrian rebel enclave of the Eastern Ghouta says the situation is “catastrophic” – and he believes the international community has abandoned the people living there. “We don’t have anything – no food, no medicine, no shelter,” Dr Bassam told the BBC. “We don’t have bread.

Palestinian leader Abbas calls for international role in seeking peace
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas made a rare appearance before the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday and called for an international peace conference by mid-year — something especially needed, he said, since the U.S. can no longer be counted on as the lone mediator. It is “essential,” Abbas said, that a “multilateral international mechanism” be established to broker peace.

Japan plans to buy at least 20 additional F-35A stealth fighters over the next six years, some or all of which it may purchase directly from Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) in the United States rather than assemble locally, three sources said. “In view of budgets and production schedules a new acquisition of around 25 planes is appropriate,” said one of the sources with knowledge of the plan.

Abbas Calls For ‘Multilateral’ Effort to Establish Palestinian State
Mahmoud Abbas called for a multilateral initiative from the international community to bring about the establishment of a Palestinian state, during an address to the United Nations (UN) Security Council on Tuesday. “To solve the Palestine question, it is essential to establish a multilateral international mechanism emanating from an international conference and in line with international law and the relevant resolutions,” Abbas claimed.

Y’stone quake swarm isn’t a deadly warning
Recent rumblings of the Earth near West Yellowstone, Montana, are likely the extension of an “earthquake swarm” that has been taking seismometers for a ride since June. That’s the take of seasonal Moose resident and University of Utah geophysicist Bob Smith, who hypothesizes that the seismic activity is decades-later aftershocks of the deadly, damaging 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake.

U.S. ‘finalizing’ peace plan despite Abbas vow for international efforts
“You don’t have to like that decision,” she said, of Trump’s Jerusalem move. “You don’t have to praise it. You don’t even have to accept it. But know this: That decision will not change.” Haley said that Abbas faced two paths: one of anger toward the Americans and incitement of Palestinians to violence against Israelis, or one of direct negotiations with both. Of the first, she warned: “I assure you that path will get the Palestinian people exactly nowhere toward the achievement of their aspirations.”

Nikki Haley dresses down Mahmoud Abbas
The Palestinians have not been pleased with the Trump administration’s new tone at the United Nations. Where the Obama administration often acquiesced to the Palestinians demands, the new attitude is that America’s greatest Middle East ally, Israel, deserves some respect. And will get it.
