Jonathan Pollard reportedly to speak with Jewish leaders — who will congratulate him on job well done!: Zio-Watch, January 21, 2016

Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman, explained in a press briefing on Tuesday why the Obama administration had settled for an Iranian pledge to help track the whereabouts of Robert Levinson, rather than his return as part of a prisoner exchange with Iran.

“Now, as we mentioned several years ago, we have reason to believe that he no longer is in Iran, and that’s why we continue to press for information about his whereabouts,” Earnest said. “And we’re going to continue to do that, and we’ve secured a commitment from the Iranians to use the channel that has now been opened to secure the release of those individuals that we know were being held by Iran on unjustly to use those same channels to try to gather information about Mr. Levinson’s possible whereabouts.”

“Russia is not satisfied with the way the Litvinenko case was dealt with,” Yakovenko said in an interview to RT, stressing that “the key problem is… that it was not public and open to the press,” so that Russia could not take part in the hearings.

“That is why we cannot accept the conclusions of that case. If it was public, we would be happy to participate [in the investigation], but, unfortunately, it did not happen,” he added.

Yakovenko also emphasized that the results of the inquiry “are not justified,” with the investigation itself being “very politicized” and “biased” as “the coroner investigation was open to [Russia] but later, after [the crisis in Ukraine started], the British authorities decided to switch the process to a secret investigation…”

“In order to prove something, you have to present the facts. As soon as the British side proves… their conclusions, we will be ready to consider [them],” the ambassador stressed adding that now he sees “no grounds for that,” as the Russian side “did not even have a chance to study the documents [of the investigation].”

“These human remains record the intentional killing of a small band of foragers with no deliberate burial, and provide unique evidence that warfare was part of the repertoire of inter-group relations among some prehistoric hunter-gatherers,” said Dr. Marta Mirazon Lahr, of Cambridge University’s Leverhulme Centre for the Study of Human Evolution (LCHES), who was in charge of the study published in Nature magazine on Wednesday.

The researchers placed the time of the killing at between 9,500 and 10,500 years ago by using a radiocarbon dating technique, and by examining the samples of the substances found around the skeletons.

The massacre took place in a now-dry lagoon in the Kenyan city of Nataruk, roughly 20 miles (30km) west of Lake Turkana, where the remains were discovered back in 2012. The ancient humans are said to have suffered multiple lethal injuries from stone blades, arrows and clubs. They had their skulls smashed, facial and cheek bones fractured, and hands, knees and ribs broken. Two men even displayed signs of arrow tips still stuck in their skulls and chests. Due to the huge damage sustained, only 12 of the skeletons were in relatively good condition.

© Bayerischer Rundfunk A cartoon guide aimed at instructing refugees on the correct way to act in Germany has become an object of ridicule online. The instruction manual, designed in the style of an airplane safety card, inspired a string of mocking tweets and drawings.

The guide, aimed at explaining “Germany and its People,” teaches about common customs, including handshakes and eye contact. It also includes a photo of two men holding hands, with a caption that reads: “In Germany, homosexuals are allowed to show their sexual preference in public.”

Examples of behavior that’s frowned upon are accompanied by a huge ‘X’ over the pictures. Those actions include a man touching the bottom of a woman wearing a short skirt, accompanied by text which reads: “Women are to be respected, no matter what they wear.”

Engaging in fist fights is also frowned upon, according to a separate picture which explains that “conflicts must not be solved with violence.”

The guide was posted online in October by the Bavarian branch of public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk. However, it wasn’t until this week that it attracted the attention of the Twittersphere, which has since come up with a number of satirical responses.

© Ruptly The US State Department just seems to lack attentiveness when it comes to minor details in US-Russian relations: the Russian flag was hung upside down in the conference room in Zurich ahead of a meeting between the top Russian and US diplomats.

Ahead of the key negotiations between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry on the fate of Syria, the situation in the Middle East and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, US State Department officials were left red-faced when a cameraman pointed out the fact that the Russian flag in the conference room was hanging upside down.

As Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs Glen Johnson led journalists to the appropriate rooms before the diplomatic teams arrived, a cameraman alerted the US State Department official to the obvious mistake.

“Hey Glen, the Russian flag is upside down so the colors [are] in the wrong direction,” the cameraman said.
