140,000 KIDS ARE STILL MISSING

Watch the full episode:

Lara Logan and California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton dig into what Hilton calls one of the most shocking scandals of the Biden administration: what happened to hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children after they entered government custody.

Hilton says a whistleblower from the Pomona Fairplex facility described pressure to speed up the release of children while safeguards meant to vet sponsors were weakened. He and Lara discuss allegations that employees who raised concerns about trafficking, gangs and child labor were ignored or terminated.

Of the 479,000 unaccompanied children Hilton says entered the system, he says roughly 140,000 may still be unaccounted for today.

Hilton puts responsibility directly on former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and argues it wasn’t simply incompetence.

Watch live: Perseid meteor shower peaks August 12–13 under moonless skies

August 11, 2026 22:16 UTC

The Perseid meteor shower will reach its 2026 maximum during the night of August 12–13, with the International Meteor Organization placing the nominal peak between 02:00 and 04:00 UTC on August 13.

A New Moon on August 12 will eliminate lunar interference, providing excellent conditions for optical observations.

The broader Perseid maximum extends beyond the two-hour nominal peak.

Previous International Meteor Organization (IMO) observations place the traditional broad maximum in a range corresponding in 2026 to approximately 21:00 UTC on August 12 through 09:00 UTC on August 13.

NASA also places the peak from the evening of August 12 into the early hours of August 13. The New Moon on August 12 will leave the sky free of moonlight, allowing fainter meteors to remain visible where weather and local light pollution permit.

Watch live

The Virtual Telescope Project will broadcast the 2026 Perseid meteor shower live and free beginning at 22:30 UTC on August 12. The feed will use an all-sky camera at Manciano, Italy, in the Maremma countryside.

NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center will hos their watch party live on YouTube, starting at 23:00 CT on August 12.

Throughout the broadcast, they will show real-time sky imagery from Marshall’s Automated Lunar and Meteor Observatory (ALaMO).

Meteoroid experts from Marshall and guest subject matter experts will join the event to discuss the science behind the Perseids and answer your questions in real time.

IMO lists the Perseids as active from July 17 through August 24, with a nominal zenithal hourly rate (ZHR) of 100 and a meteoroid velocity of 59 km/s (37 miles/s).

ZHR represents the calculated rate under ideal observing conditions with the radiant overhead and should not be read as a guarantee that an observer will see 100 meteors in one hour.

The Perseids originate from material released by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Earth passes through the comet’s debris stream each year, and particles entering the atmosphere at high speed produce the streaks of light seen as meteors.

The shower takes its name from its radiant near the constellation Perseus.

Viewing geometry favors mid-northern latitudes. IMO says the radiant reaches a reasonable elevation from approximately 22:00–23:00 LT onward at mid-northern sites.

The shower cannot be properly viewed from most of the Southern Hemisphere or from latitudes north of approximately 60° N.

NASA advises observers to find a dark, open site, look generally toward the northeast after darkness falls and allow approximately 30 minutes for their eyes to adapt.

Meteors can appear across any part of the sky, and viewing improves later in the night as the Perseid radiant rises higher.

Calculations cited by IMO place Earth at one branch of an old 1079 Swift-Tuttle dust trail at 16:53 UTC on August 12. Because the trail is very old, the calculation provides no estimate of resulting meteor activity.

A separate calculation places an encounter with a weak Swift-Tuttle filament near 01:00 UTC on August 13, with an uncertainty of ±5 hours. The modeled component has an expected ZHR of no more than 43.

IMO notes that the trail and filament could become detectable if the normal Perseid background rate is lower.

Neither calculation establishes an outburst or meteor-storm forecast for 2026. IMO gives no activity estimate for the 1079 trail and describes the second component as a weak filament.

Enhanced activity after the principal maximum has been recorded during some previous Perseid returns, and IMO recommends including the nights around the main maximum in observing programs.

The New Moon on August 12 leaves the 2026 maximum free of lunar interference. IMO describes the conditions as excellent for optical observations, leaving weather, sky darkness and local light pollution as the main constraints for observers.

‘Project Anchor’ Theory Explained: NASA Denies Gravity Will be Switched Off

updated Aug 12, 2026 at 11:18 AM EDT

NASA has responded again to debunked claims that Earth will lose gravity briefly on Wednesday.

Social media has been awash with claims that our planet will briefly lose its gravity on Wednesday, a theory tied to an alleged leaked NASA project known as "Project Anchor."

What Is 'Project Anchor'?

In a January report, fact-checking outlet Snopes examined the “Project Anchor” claim after it began spreading online.

The rumor alleged that a secret NASA document had leaked in November 2024, warning that Earth would briefly “lose gravity” on August 12, 2026, causing mass casualties and global disruption.

Snopes rated the claim false, reporting that it found no credible search results that any such NASA project leaked.

According to Snopes, the story appeared to pick up steam through copy-and-paste social media posts, including an Instagram video that claimed NASA was preparing for a seven-second “gravitational anomaly” but withholding the information from the public.

The posts included dramatic details, such as an alleged $89 billion budget, predictions of tens of millions of deaths, and claims that only selected officials and specialists would be protected in bunkers.

Solar Eclipse, Meteor Shower Expected Wednesday

Today’s date is of astronomical significance, with a total solar eclipse expected to be visible along a path that crosses Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain and a small corner of Portugal.

Other countries in the Northern Hemisphere will also be able to view a partial eclipse, according to NASA—including parts of the northern U.S. (from Alaska to North Carolina), most of Canada, much of Europe, and northwestern Africa.

NASA’s statement added: “A total solar eclipse has no unusual impact on Earth's gravity.

The gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon on the Earth, which doesn't impact Earth's total gravity, but does impact tidal forces, is well understood and is predictable decades in advance."

The annual Perseid meteor shower is also expected to reach its peak Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, NASA said previously.

NASA Completes Astronaut-Deployed Science Instrument for Lunar Surface

Aug 11, 2026

NASA has declared “wrenches down” on the first completed payload designed for Artemis astronauts to deploy on the Moon's surface.

Engineers working on NASA’s Lunar Environment Monitoring Station, or LEMS, have completed hardware development and testing and the payload is ready for its permanent home near the lunar South Pole.

With the hardware complete, LEMS is ready to support one of the Artemis program’s core goals: enabling sustained lunar science and exploration.

The LEMS instrument package contains two highly sensitive seismometers that will monitor ground vibrations from moonquakes and meteorite impacts, providing scientists with insights into the Moon’s interior and the seismic hazards astronauts might encounter at the surface.

Its modular design allows the system to be adapted or expanded to host new instruments in the future, creating a reusable platform that can evolve as scientific priorities grow.

The payload will remain in a clean room at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, where it was built, until it is assigned to an Artemis mission for deployment to the lunar surface.

“The completion of the LEMS scientific instrument is a major step in a new era of lunar surface science.

Innovative science experiments will uncover, measure, and reveal the Moon’s secrets while astronauts open new frontiers for discovery,” said Joel Kearns, deputy associate administrator for exploration, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“And, behind the scenes, countless teams across NASA and our partners are pushing the boundaries of what surface instruments can do, building the tools that will make future exploration possible and safer.”

The LEMS payload builds on a legacy of lunar seismic tracking. Apollo astronauts deployed a network of seismometers on the Moon’s nearside equatorial region between 1969 and 1972.

Those instruments operated until 1977, recording about 13,000 moonquakes and other ground vibrations that helped scientists begin to understand the composition of the Moon’s interior.

For decades, researchers have hoped to spread more seismometers, updated with new technologies, across the lunar surface.

Crew Works Vein Scans For Health and Suit Checks for Spacewalk

August 11, 2026 3:14PM

Vein scans and spacesuit checks were the top duties for the Expedition 75 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The orbital residents also continued their Earth photography sessions, cargo operations, and life support maintenance.

Station commander Jessica Meir kicked off her shift collecting blood samples inside the Columbus laboratory module for the Venous Flow investigation that is exploring how microgravity affects the circulatory system.

Afterward, she spun the samples in a centrifuge, analyzed the samples for signs of space-caused blood issues, then stowed the samples in a science freezer for preservation.

NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway took charge of Tuesday’s first set of vein scans operating the Ultrasound 3 biomedical device to observe Meir’s internal jugular veins then measured her blood pressure.

Meir and Hathaway also took part in the second set of vein scans after lunchtime taking turns using the Ultrasound 3 with flight engineers Anil Menon of NASA, Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) and Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, both from Roscosmos.

Doctors on the ground monitored the ultrasound scans in real-time to understand the risk of blood flow anomalies and blood clots during a spaceflight.

Hathaway, Menon, and Adenot also worked together throughout Tuesday servicing spacesuit gear ahead of a spacewalk planned for Tuesday, Aug. 18.

The trio took turns swapping spacesuit components inside the Quest airlock where Menon and Adenot will exit the orbital outpost next week.

The spacewalking duo will spend about six-and-a-half hours swapping out a high-speed data and communications antenna on the station’s Z1 truss segment.

Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev had a busy Tuesday, first starting his shift photographing landmarks throughout Africa and Eastern Europe. Next, Fedyaev spent the rest of his day inside the Zarya module troubleshooting electronics gear and laptop computers.

Dubrov began his day cleaning smoke detectors in the Poisk module then wrapped up his shift loading obsolete hardware inside the Progress 94 cargo spacecraft for disposal when it departs in September.

Kikina worked primarily inside the Zvezda service module maintaining the ventilation system and cleaning areas behind the panels inside Zarya.

Trumps confirms secret plane switch amid Iranian assassination threat

Wed, August 12, 2026

Aug. 12 (UPI) – President Donald Trump confirmed he was smuggled off Air Force One and secretly boarded onto a different aircraft before departing the NATO Summit in Turkey for a flight to a British air base in July, amid a possible threat on his life.

Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Tuesday night, Trump saidthe decision to make the switch in Ankara was made by the "Secret Service and the military."

"I go by Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go in a different flight, different plane.I just have to do what they say," he said.

NBC News said it had confirmation of reports that after apparently boarding Air Force One as normal, Trump was moved, secreted in a catering truck,to an unmarked VIP transport aircraftfor the first leg of the July 8 flight back to the United States, via RAF Mildenhall.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remained on board and the press corps accompanying Trump and most White House staffers flew the leg on Air Force One unawarethat Trump was not present, but Trump dismissed questions over whether leaving them aboard the decoy aircraft may have placed them in harm's way.

"I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk. I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for," said Trump, without saying why that might be the case.

Trump said he didn't delve too much into the threat but he said he was "not surprised" he had been targeted, saying it was an occupational hazard for any president who was getting results.

"Any consequential president has a lot of threats," he said.

NBC said it had been told by a U.S. official the switchwas due to credible intelligence of an Iranian threat to kill Trump, possibly using a shoulder-fired missile launcher to attack Air Force One as it departed Ankara.

Other reports said U.S. intelligence had information of a person with a shoulder-fired missile launcher seen near where the summit was being held.

"As the president has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats," the White House said in a statement to ABC News.

Trump said at the time he would take the original Air Force One and not the new one provided by Qatar because he was sending it to Mildenhall for U.S. service members to tour.

However, the sequence of events was that Trump boarded Air Force One in view of the cameras in Ankara, clandestinely switched to the C-32 carrying Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for the flight to Britain. Once on the ground at Mildenhall,the maneuver was reversed and Trump emerged from Air Force One as if he'd been aboard the whole time.

Administration officials,even Hegseth, reportedly were unaware of the ruse until afterward.

Trump subsequently switched onto the new Qatari-gifted "Air Force One" for the rest of the flight back to Washington.

S&P 500 rises after tame inflation data; AI-related shares jump: Live updates

The S&P 500 rose on Wednesday on the back of a tame U.S. inflation report and tech gains led by artificial intelligence plays CoreWeave

and Super Micro Computer.

The broad market index climbed 0.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average

traded around the flatline.

July’s consumer price index came in as expected, with headline rising 0.1% on the month and the annual inflation rate landing at 3.4%. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, advanced 0.2% last month and 2.5% on the year. The annual rate for both headline and core CPI marked a slight decrease from June.

This comes as the Federal Reserve has been laser focused on the impact higher pricing pressures are having on the U.S. consumer, with three dissenters at the last meeting voting to raise rates. Those concerns have yet to abate, with U.S. oil prices pushing above $83 a barrel Wednesday, as hopes of a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz dwindle.

However, odds that the Fed will leave its rates unchanged next month increased following the report. Fed funds futures trading is now pricing in a roughly 58% chance that the central bank will keep its benchmark ​rate in its current range of 3.50% ​to 3.75%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. That’s up from more than 45% a week ago.

“In-line inflation will keep the ‘no need to hike rates’ narrative that took hold after last week’s jobs report intact,” said Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. “There will be another round of inflation data before the September FOMC meeting, so the storyline could still change. But unless those numbers tell a much different story, the Fed will likely still be in a position to leave rates unchanged next month.”

Meanwhile, the latest quarterly results and guidance from CoreWeave and Super Micro Computer reassured investors that demand in the artificial intelligence buildout is stable. CoreWeave shares jumped 18% after the cloud infrastructure mainstay’s second-quarter adjusted operating income margin of 5% exceeded expectations, while its revenue doubled from a year ago. Super Micro Computer added 14% following a strong earnings and revenue forecast for the first quarter.

Other stocks related to AI also gained. Dell Technologies

and Micron Technology

advanced more than 5% and 6%, respectively, while Cisco Systems rose more than 2%. Additionally, U.S.-listed shares of Dutch neocloud specialist Nebius

were also up more than 27%.

…What the fuck is wrong with you?

SpaceX could make $500 billion in 2028, Elon Musk says

August 11, 2026

SpaceX is an AI company now, and it sees huge money in the burgeoning field.

SpaceX isn't a launch company anymore.

SpaceX is famous for launching, and landing, its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and sending astronauts to space aboard its Dragon crew capsule.

Recently, however, the company has been transitioning into an artificial intelligence (AI) outfit — and that journey is now mostly complete.

"Our AI revenue will exceed all other SpaceX revenue probably in September — like, next month — and will significantly exceed all other SpaceX revenue in in the fourth quarter," company founder and CEO Elon Musk said during an address to employees that the company posted on X today (Aug. 11). "So, AI has become an extremely important part of SpaceX's future."

Earlier this year, SpaceX bought xAI, a startup that Musk founded in 2023. xAI created the chatbot Grok and also operates a powerful supercomputer cluster in Tennessee called Colossus.

But that was just the beginning. Musk laid out just how deeply SpaceX is diving into AI during his 29-minute talk, which came a week after SpaceX's first-ever quarterly earnings call as a public company.

"Probably in four or five years, AI will be 99% of the value of SpaceX; I'd say five years for sure," Musk said. "And the value of SpaceX will be some astronomical number."

Astronomical is right. According to Musk, the company aims to get 10 gigawatts of AI compute up and running by the end of next year. That's a big jump from its current 1.4 GW, which SpaceX sells to tech companies and AI labs.

"The value per watt is probably going to be 30 to $50, which means if we bring 10 gigawatts of AI online by the end of next year, it will be 300 to $500 billion a year in revenue," he said. "Big numbers."

And those numbers will get even bigger over time, if all goes according to plan.

SpaceX just announced plans to build a gigantic complex in Texas called Terafab, a joint operation with Tesla that will manufacture advanced semiconductor chips for a wide range of applications.

And the company aims to launch a million of its "Starmind" AI satellites to low Earth orbit in the coming years using its fully reusable Starship megarocket, which is still in development.

Over the longer haul, the company plans to establish factories on the moon that will build these off-Earth data centers.

The satellites will be launched into space from the lunar surface via electromagnetic mass drivers — basically, high-powered rail guns.

SpaceX envisions Starmind and its other AI efforts as returning almost unimaginable profits down the road.

For example, in paperwork the company filed just before its record-breaking IPO, SpaceX identified an eventual "total addressable market" of $28.5 trillion, nearly $23 trillion of it in the AI field.

For some perspective: The gross domestic product of the entire United States last year was about $30.8 trillion.

"The future is fundamentally AI and robots," Musk said during his address to employees.

"Assuming civilization continues to progress, I think that AI will probably — the amount of digital intelligence will probably be more than a trillion times the amount of biological intelligence."

He also said he's not just in this for the money.

"It's important that we have an AI that cares about humanity, that fosters humanity and helps take us to other planets and other star systems," Musk said.

"This is why I think it's essential that SpaceX succeed not just with AI hardware but also with AI software," he added. "I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX's baby will be a very good AI.

I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness."

He urged SpaceX employees to aid the company's AI efforts in any way that they can, stressing that success could lead to some amazing vacations.

"One of the nice benefits of this also is that anyone at SpaceX who wants to go to the moon or Mars will be able to go in the future," he said. "You have my word."

Scientists Release Biggest 2D Map of the Universe

10 August 2026

The new DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys map serves as the foundation for the largest-ever 3D map of the Universe, used to investigate dark energy

Hold on to your telescopes: the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys team has released the largest-ever 2D map of the Universe.

The 5.6-trillion-pixel map contains nearly four billion celestial objects, including stars, galaxies, black holes, and asteroids. The data are available for all to use and are publicly viewable through the Legacy Survey Sky Viewer.

Astronomers and citizen scientists can combine the map with their own observations to better understand our Universe.

Researchers can search for rare phenomena like gravitational lenses, observe fleeting events like supernovae, and investigate two of physics’ biggest mysteries: dark matter, the invisible substance that accounts for most of the mass in our Universe, and dark energy, the force driving our Universe’s accelerating expansion.

The new map builds on earlier versions from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys that have already proved invaluable. To date, more than 1800 science papers have been published referencing the Legacy Surveys’ data.

“It’s part of the fabric of astronomy research now,” says David Schlegel, a co-lead of the Legacy Surveys and scientist at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).

“When you're working with astronomical objects today, you often start by pulling up the Legacy Imaging Viewer to see what you’re looking at.”

Covering roughly 75% of the sky in visible and near-infrared light, the updated map provides a deep view of the extragalactic Universe not blocked by the dust and stars of our own Milky Way.

Researchers expect it will remain the most comprehensive 2D map of our Universe for years to come.

More than 160 scientists contributed to data collection for the project, and a team of 20 produced the final dataset released today. It was built by combining 263,407 telescope exposures from three ground-based sky surveys:

The Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), conducted by the 570-megapixel Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted on the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Victor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at NSF Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), a Program of NSF NOIRLab.

The Mayall z-band Legacy Survey (MzLS), conducted by the NSF Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at NSF Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a Program of NSF NOIRLab.

The Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS) at the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory, conducted with the UA Bok 2.3-meter Telescope at KPNO and supplemented by years of data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite mission.

Man accused of killing wife, child at in-home daycare center in Minnesota: Police

Other children were at the daycare when the incident happened, police said.

A man who co-owned an in-home daycare center with his wife is believed to have killed his wife and their child before taking his own life while other children were at the home, police in Minnesota said Wednesday.

Officers who responded Wednesday morning to the home in Hopkins found two adults and the child dead, according to Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson, who called the situation "horrific."

Six other children who were in the daycare at the time have since been reunified with their parents, Johnson said. He said they were all "very, very young" children.

A parent had arrived at the daycare to drop off their children when the incident is believed to have been unfolding, prompting a large police response just after 9 a.m. CT, according to the police chief.

Investigators are working to determine what weapons were involved, Johnson said.

Police did not release the names of the parents or their child.

Army Space, Golden Dome take center stage on opening day of SMD Symposium

August 12, 2026

The 2026 Space and Missile Defense Symposium opened Tuesday with a message that carried from the first military briefing of the morning to one of the most anticipated updates of the afternoon: the threat is changing quickly, and the military and defense industry have to move with speed.

Lt. Gen. John Rafferty, commanding general of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, delivered the first major military update of SMD after Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle welcomed attendees to the Von Braun Center.

Rafferty was followed by U.S. Space Command and international space panels before Gen. Michael Guetlein, direct reporting program manager for Golden Dome for America, took the stage Tuesday afternoon.

Rafferty: Huntsville a ‘strategic advantage’

Rafferty began with Huntsville itself, pointing to the concentration of military, government and private industry surrounding Redstone Arsenal.

“I don’t think the visionaries of Operation Paperclip who brought those captured scientists here to North Alabama could have imagined the type of ecosystem that they would create,” Rafferty said. “It really is a national treasure and definitely a strategic advantage.”

Operation Paperclip was a U.S. government program that brought more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers and technicians to the United States after World War II to advance American military and space research.

Among them was Wernher von Braun, who came to Huntsville with his rocket team and helped establish the foundation for the city’s emergence as a center of U.S. space and missile technology.

Rafferty’s focus quickly turned to a rapidly evolving threat environment.

“The threat and the pace of change is remarkable,” Rafferty said.

Among Rafferty’s updates and priorities:

SMDC has added the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command and 263rd Army Air and Missile Defense Command to its forces and established Joint Task Force-Gold to help deliver Golden Dome for America.

Forces under the 32nd have spent the past 14 months in what Rafferty called “the largest air missile defense fight in U.S. history.”

He said 125 ballistic missiles were successfully engaged during the “12-day war” and more than 1,200 ballistic, cruise missile and unmanned aircraft threats have been neutralized during Operation Epic Fury.

SMDC is pushing for a broader missile defeat strategy that goes beyond interceptors to include electronic warfare, directed energy, data and integrated command and control.

Rafferty said the command will seek a closer relationship with the defense industry, telling attendees, “Today I pledge that SMDC is going to be a great teammate.”

UK fears naval escalation with Russia – Times

The British newspaper claims Moscow has shunned military dialogue with London,contrary to Russian public statements

Published 12 Aug, 2026 11:20 | Up

British officials and diplomats fear an unintended maritime escalation with Russia andare pressuring senior military leaders to restore direct communication with their Russian counterparts, The Times reported on Tuesday.

According to the newspaper, former British chief of the defense staff Tony Radakin and his successor, Richard Knighton,have repeatedly sought contact with Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov but have been unable to speak with him for four years. Their last reported conversation took place in 2022. There has likewise been no direct contact between the two countries’ defense ministers since October of that year.

Moscow has repeatedly said it does not rule out diplomacy with Western countries despite regarding many of them, including the UK, as “unfriendly.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov wrote in a keynote article in June that Russia is “not opposed to contacts with any party.”

The Times cited sources as saying that “senior officials and diplomats are nervous about the lack of communication” and are concerned that “a misunderstanding in the high seas could be the trigger for a wider conflict with Russia.”

The newspaper cited a recent incident in which Russian frigate the Admiral Grigorovich fired warning shots near a British yacht in the English Channel.Both Moscow and London said the shots were intended to prevent a possible collision.

A military hotline linking the UK armed forces with the Russian Defense Ministry’s situation center remains operational.Diplomatic communication is also possible through the two countries’ embassies.

Relations between London and Moscow had deteriorated significantly long before the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. Russia has accused Britain of playing a major role in worsening tensions, including by supporting the 2014 Western-backed change of government in Kiev.

In 2021, the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Defender sailed through waters off Crimea that Russia considers its territorial sea, with London claiming it was exercising the right of innocent passage through Ukrainian waters.

Since the escalation in 2022, the UK has become one of Kiev’s leading military backers and has supplied Kiev with advanced weapons, including Storm Shadow cruise missiles.Moscow has alleged that such systems require Western expertise to program and launch.

Then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson discouraged Ukraine from going through with a peace agreement negotiated with Moscow during talks in Istanbul in the early weeks of the conflict.

Alongside France, the UK co-leads the so-called ‘coalition of the willing’, a group of countries supporting Kiev’s terms for resolving the conflict and advocating for deployment of NATO forces in Ukraine in the future.

In an article written for Politico Europe that the outlet ultimately declined to publish, Lavrov accused Britain and other Western European governments of pursuing expansionist policies while portraying Russia as the aggressor.He argued that such an atmosphere was “scarcely the climate for substantive dialogue.”

UK fears naval escalation with Russia – Times

Vance dresses down Zelensky over Black Sea tanker attacks – FT

Washington was unhappy with Kiev launching drone attacks on vessels carrying oil to a terminal co-owned by US companies, the article says

Published 12 Aug, 2026 15:09 |

The US has called Ukraine to heel for targeting oil tankers in the Black Sea after Kiev began launching drone attacks on vessels sailing to a partly US-owned Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) terminal in Russia, the Financial Times has reported.

Ukrainian drone raids targeting the CPC – which funnels Kazakh crude across southern Russia to a marine terminal near Novorossiysk, from where tankers carry it onward to Europe and Asia – have tested Washington's patience to the limit, prompting US Vice-President J.D. Vance to press Vladimir Zelensky to shut down the attacks during a July 31 phone call, unidentified Ukrainian officials told the FT.

The CPC route incorporates a combination of Russian, Kazakh, and Western interests, with Chevron and ExxonMobil among the heavyweight US shareholders.

According to the newspaper's sources, Vance told Zelensky that Ukraine was not only harming the interests of American companies, but also rattling oil markets, which are already under strain due to the still-ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. Zelensky appears to have quickly caved and called off strikes on tankers near the CPC terminal, as long as they are not under Ukrainian sanctions or carrying Russian cargo.

“We very carefully listen to our American partners,” a senior Ukrainian official told the newspaper, saying Kiev had installed new ‘mechanisms’ after the US intervened.

Ukraine also reportedly attempted to use the strikes as a bargaining chip in talks with the US.An FT source claimed that Kiev had agreed to Washington’s request because it was seeking a US license to produce desperately needed Patriot interceptor missiles.

While US President Donald Trump promised a license in early July, he later walked back on that pledge, while reportedly declining to send additional air defense missiles due to a shortfall caused by the Iran war.

Russia has denounced Ukraine’s attacks on oil tankers as “terrorist acts,” while accusing Kiev of targeting civilian infrastructure.

Kazakhstan also protested the drone raids, though without directly blaming Ukraine. It called the strikes on civilian vessels moving CPC crude as an “unacceptable infringement” on its economic interests and warned that they risked destabilizing lawful trade, energy markets, and global supply chains.

However, Kiev publicly refused to accept responsibility and urged Kazakhstan and other affected countries to “refrain from making hasty and unfounded accusations.”

Exclusive: Former Southern Poverty Law Center CFO arrested on fraud charges

A former chief financial officer at the Southern Poverty Law Center has been arrested in California on charges that she oversaw secret payments to informants inside of White supremacist groups, one of whom she was allegedly living with and had a romantic relationship with at the time.

The woman, Heidi Beirich, previously ran the SPLC’s project tracking hate groups in the US and allegedly “oversaw payments of donors’ money” to people inside of these hate groups, according to the indictment. Prosecutors say she shared a bank account with one of those sources, which included funds from the SPLC’s payments.

“I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts in completely fictitious companies’ names and make payments to individuals for reasons that that were not accurate as as described,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference Wednesday. “This is exactly what we said would happen in a case like this, which is that our investigators and the US attorneys and the agents working the case will can keep on working it even after the initial indictment.”

Despite her role in overseeing the payments — some of which were directed to an Imperial Wizard in the KKK — Beirich allegedly had a romantic relationship with one source who infiltrated a White Supremacy group and stole documents from for the SPLC, according to the indictment.

That person, prosecutors say, was paid over $1 million by the SPLC since 2007 and shared a bank account with Beirich which contained $140,000 from those payments.

Who really owns America?

Is it the people? The government? The banks? Wall Street? Billionaires? Or is the answer far more complicated than most people realize?

This presentation explores one of the biggest questions in economics and political philosophy by examining the different forms of power that shape modern society. From the creation of the Federal Reserve and the concentration of land ownership to institutional investing, public debt, proxy voting, and political influence, this is a broad look at how financial systems operate—and how different institutions accumulate influence over time.

Topics explored include:

• The 1910 Jekyll Island meeting and the origins of the Federal Reserve

• Fractional reserve banking and the creation of bank credit

• America’s national debt and who holds U.S. Treasury securities

• BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street’s role in institutional investing and proxy voting

• Large-scale land ownership in the United States

• Corporate influence, lobbying, and campaign finance

• Inflation, purchasing power, and stores of value

• The relationship between ownership, incentives, and economic power

Rather than offering a single answer, this presentation explores multiple dimensions of influence—financial, political, technological, and institutional—and asks a deeper question:

If power is distributed across many systems, what does it actually mean to “own” a country?

Ukraine’s drone strike shut Russia’s biggest LPG plant as fuel rationing returned in 16 regions

12/08/2026

The strike hit the plant’s entry unit 2,200 kilometers behind the front, taking 40% of Russia’s LPG production offline indefinitely.

A Ukrainian drone strike shut the plant that produces 40% of Russia’s liquefied petroleum gas on 10 August, and the country’s fuel crisis snapped back across at least 16 regions within days.

The shutdown of the Sibur ZapSibNefteKhim complex in Tobolsk, western Siberia, removes about six million metric tons of annual LPG capacity from a fuel system that was already under strain.

Gasoline restrictions had begun easing across Russia at the end of July, when Ukrainian drones temporarily shifted to other targets. When the strikes resumed in early August, fuel rationing returned immediately, the independent Russian outlet 7×7 reported.

Three industry sources told Reuters on Tuesday that the complex stopped operations indefinitely “while the extent of the damage and its consequences are being assessed.”

No LPG volumes were offered from the Tobolsk delivery point on Russia’s commodity exchange—a point that earlier this year handled about 4,000 metric tons of propane-butane mix per day. Sibur declined to comment.

A strike on one unit stopped the entire plant

Tyumen Oblast Governor Aleksandr Moor confirmed a fire at an industrial site following a drone attack but did not identify the facility.

Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces Deep Strike units, working with the Russian insurgent movement Chornaya Iskra (Black Spark), claimed the strike. The plant sits more than 2,200 kilometers from the front line.
