President Donald Trump approve a mission for US troops to return to Syria to”protect” its oil areas, regardless of promises to withdraw all forces against the war-torn nation. Underneath the new plan of Mr. Trump, troops would protect a large swathe of property controlled by Syrian Kurdish fighters who stretches almost 90 miles of the oil-rich province of Deir Ezzor from the east.

The officials of Pentagon will not say how many of some 2,000 forces it had in Syria will remain; nevertheless, officials have suggested the number could reach as many as 800.

Mr. Trump had announced the US withdrew all troops paving the way for the Turkish forces. Later in a speech, he declared that the US was done fighting”endless wars” in the area’s”blood-soaked sands.”

However, in the face of pressure, the president seems to have ridden back on his word.

Since discovery of oil in MidEast, many in region said: U.S. only here to steal our oil.

U.S. denied, claimed it's about democracy, human rights, women etc.

Not sure if Americans realize but these pictures of U.S. troops in northeast Syria are HUGELY damaging to U.S. image. pic.twitter.com/C3exwUbHtD

Experts say, as Mr. Trump has said, the yield of troops is unlikely only to concern petroleum. The output from the areas is limited, with a small export chance for the United States.

The oil fields are currently under the management of fighters with all the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), but the Bashar al-Assad authorities would love to see it return under its control.

United States officials said the order approved by Mr. Trump doesn’t include any mandate for the United States to take Syria’s oil, despite the president claiming numerous occasions that the US is”keeping the oil.”

The Pentagon and the White House have so far been not able to explain what he means by that. Mark Esper,” Defense Secretary, said Friday that he”interprets” Mr. Trump’s opinions to imply that the military must deny ISIS access to the oil fields.

The legal jurisdiction for US troops going into Syria to fight ISIS militants based on the 2001 and 2002 permissions for the Use of Military Force that said US forces could use all necessary force against individuals involved in the September 11 attacks on America and also prevent any future acts of global terrorism.

A Virginia Democrat, Senator Tim Kaine, called the mission misguided. “Risking the lives of our troops to safeguard oil rigs in eastern Syria is not just reckless, but it’s not legally authorized,” Mr. Kaine told The AP. “President Trump betrayed our Kurdish allies that have fought alongside American soldiers in the fight to secure a future without ISIS – and instead moved our troops to safeguard oil rigs.”

Police said that 1 protester was hit, and he was operating in a hospital. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong hospital authority said the man shot was in critical condition but gave no additional specifics.

Hong Kong is in the almost sixth month of protests that started over a planned extradition law and now included demands for police responsibility and democracy. Activists say the autonomy of Hong Kong and Western-style civil liberties, guaranteed when the former British colony returned to China in 1997, are eroding.

Cupid Producer, an outlet that began last year and appeared to post mainly videos associated with local news, posted the video of Monday’s shooting on Facebook.

The shooting happened at an intersection strewn with debris that had visitors in Sai Wan Ho on the eastern portion of Hong Kong Island in a crosswalk.

Protesters interrupted subway and commuter railroad services and blocked intersections. The railroad operator, MTR, suspended service, and broadcaster RTHK reported that a fire had been set inside a train at Kwai Fong station.

In a press release, the Hong Kong authorities said authorities had been reacting to disruptions and vandalism to traffic, such as protesters throwing heavy objects from above on streets.

“During police actions, one police officer has discharged his service revolver, 1 man was shot,” the release stated, adding that officers also drew their firearms at the Shatin and Tung Chung neighborhoods.

He denied the rumors stating police had been ordered to”recklessly use their firearms,” calling the allegation”totally malicious and false.”

“All police officers need to explain their enforcement activities,” the statement said.

Masked protesters continued to try to block different intersections in the region. Police followed them with pepper spray, hitting some bystanders.

On Sunday, police fired tear gas shells, and protesters deliberately destroyed some shops across Hong Kong. They targeted businesses whose owners damaged the Sha Tin train station and considered as pro-Beijing.

Police said they detained at least 88 people, including possession of an unlawful weapon, criminal damage, and covering masks at an illegal assembly.

The city had shaken by the death of a student who fell from a parking garage when police fired tear gas at protesters.
The city is preparing for Nov. 24 district council elections, which are viewed as a measure of public sentiment supporting the government.
Lawmakers blame the government for trying to provoke violence to warrant postponing or canceling the elections.

Seoul — North Korea demanded return of cargo ship seized by the US on May9, 2019. The official North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), carried a statement by an unnamed foreign ministry spokesman who blamed the United States of betraying the soul of a summit agreement last June between President Donald Trump and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump and Kim Jong Un agreed into some statement calling for bilateral ties and a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. But the second meeting between the leaders collapsed due to mismatched requirements in disarmament and sanctions relief.

“US should carefully think about what type of impacts their daylight robbery could bring into the political situation and should send back our ship without hesitation” the KCNA statement said.

MCALLEN (AP)Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan Said Military Won’t Leave Until Border is Secure. He offered assurances to the officials in the McAllen Border Patrol Station along with possibly two dozen Border Patrol agents.

“We are not planning to leave till the boundary is protected,” he stated, adding, “That is not about identifying an issue. It is about fixing a problem faster.”

While flying into Texas, he declined any suggestion that their active-duty forces mission will extend for the long haul.

Shanahan also said he’d instructed a two-star Army general, Ricky Waddell, to create a strategy shortly that’ll answer this question: “How can we get more badges back to the boundary?” — a reference to ensuring Homeland Security Department is capable of securing its core mission, the boundary.

Shortfalls in employees and other sources have prompted DHS to occasionally request the army’s aid on the U.S.-Mexico border, with no strategy for how to fix the basic resource issues.

“What we need for DHS is to be effective and stand alone,” Shanahan said, the Pentagon always readily available to aid in crisis, as it’s in the past.

Defense officials said DHS filed another request on Friday for Pentagon assistance. That request, which hasn’t previously revealed, is for refuge for detained migrants, also might include things like tents to be installed but not secured by army troops, according to the officials, who talked on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning.

Shanahan has supported using active-duty troops, along with the National Guard, to reinforce Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) attempts to manage. But he’s hinted at impatience with the absence of a long-term plan to ensure border security.

He added, “We really must return to our major assignments and continue to create readiness” to tackle traditional military operations. Shanahan told that the boundary crisis had grown more quickly than anybody had expected, putting additional pressure on DHS.

Two high school students wounded eight students and shot and killed a classmate in a charter school in Colorado community which marked the 20th anniversary of one of the country’s worst school shootings just weeks ago.

Douglas County sheriff’s officials stated Devon Erickson, 18, and a younger student walked to the STEM School Highlands Ranch Tuesday afternoon and opened fire on students in two classrooms, prompting students to conduct shouting through the halls or to hide out of sight because gunfire echoed through college.

“At the moment nobody knew what was happening so that I did not understand they were bullets,” explained seventh-grader Sophia Marks. “I just watched like flashes and also we heard bangs.”

In minutes, deputies at a nearby sheriff’s department substation arrested the two suspects. They weren’t formerly known to police, and both were students in the college, Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

Since he travelled into a different school, Josh Dutton told The Associated Press he had been friends with Devon Erickson in school but had not seen him. He has seen Erickson and stated he had been shocked at just how much his buddy had changed.

Erickson did not appear interested in speaking and wore black clothes, sunglasses and a hat. “He said he had just turned 18 and that he owned rifles,” Dutton said.

The shooting took place precisely a week after a gunman killed two students and injured four in the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. It also comes three months after neighbouring Littleton marked the grim 20th anniversary of the Columbine school massacre that killed 13 people. The two schools are separating by roughly 7 miles (11KM) in adjacent communities south west of Denver.

“Tragically, the community and also people surrounding it understand too well these hateful and horrible acts of violence,” White House spokesman Judd Deere explained in an announcement. President Donald Trump has been connected with local and state officials and briefed on the shooting, Deere said.

Since the gunfire rang out, pupils ran through the halls yelling”School shot!” Some wondered at first if it was a drill or even a joke.

15, Chris Elledge, said his instructor advised the class to conceal inside the room.

“They busted from the area, and they had been asking if there weren’t any suspects in the room when people were OK, and they escorted us out to venture out into the front part of the building,” Elledge said.

Parents used their cellphones to locate their kids as information of this incident spread.

U.S. President Donald Trump is currently working to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. A move that could bring sanctions against the Arab world’s earliest and most influential Islamist movements. The Brotherhood founded in Egypt and contained a network of teams across the Middle East and survived many crackdowns. The enemies, including nations that are autocratic of the Brotherhood, state it’s a terrorist group that needs to stop. The Brotherhood won the nation’s first free presidential elections. It has been outlawed after and had been toppled by the army after protests. Many of its leaders, such as former President Mohamed Mursi and also Supreme Guide – or a pioneer – Mohamed Badie, have been sentenced to death after trials of tens of thousands of Brothers.

Background Of Muslim Brotherhood

The Brotherhood founded in Egypt and contained a network of teams across the Middle East and has survived many crackdowns.

The Brotherhood of Banna contended that nationalism wasn’t the best way to battle colonial control, also refused the secularisation sweeping throughout the Middle East.

His organization was constructed together with education for members and inductions. Its growth across the Middle East implies that it is identified from armed groups to charities, with many different organizations.

Reason For Trump Action

A few nations have announced the Brotherhood terrorists. Brotherhood membership was made a capital offense in 1980 and Russia banned the Brotherhood. Lately, the group was banned by Egypt after the overthrow of Mursi. Shortly the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia declared it a terrorist organization. A U.S. official said that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi requested Trump to designate the group once he visited the White House three weeks ago. It would bring Trump close to the allies that he sees as fundamental to countering Iran into the measure.
