Julian Assange now has no internet access in the Ecuadorian embassy after his host has found his social media activity too controversial. Assange has exchanged words with a British MP named Alan Duncan who called Assange a “miserable little worm”. Mr Assange replied: "As a political prisoner detained without charge for 8 years, in violation of 2 UN rulings, I suppose I must be "miserable"; yet nothing wrong with being a "little" person although I'm rather tall; and better a "worm," a healthy creature that invigorates the soil, than a snake." The original agreement between Ecuador and Julian Assange stated he must not damage relations between Ecuador and other countries whilst taking refuge, perhaps especially the embassies host country, England.

The House of Saud of Arabia Mr Prince Salman is the first Arab leader to ever acknowledge that the Jews have a right to live on a land of their own. It seems the reformist prince is favouring the two state solution for Israel and Palestine. His comments will widen the already bloody gap between the predominantly Sunni Sauds and the Iranian Shias. Both currently flexing their proxy powers in Syria and Yemen. Enemies of Israel will now not be sending the House of Saud their Christmas card this year, including the housewives of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah. This Prince is all for women drivers and a welcome breath of fresh air for the west.

Oil reserves are still being found in the Middle East. The latest find in Bahrain is said “to dwarf Bahrain's current reserves”. Found off the West coast in the Khaleej Al Bahrain Basin it is the largest jackpot Bahrain has won since it’s first oil in 1932. Bahrain’s Oil Ministry are to release the details of its size and extraction viability on Wednesday.

Trumps Tariffs have forced Beijing to return fire. With.. tariffs. Proclaimed “unfair” by the US administration. $3bn of US exports perhaps Levis and Jack Daniels will not cross the Chinese border. China are still deciding on which products they will target. China has "nearly completed its list of retaliatory tariffs on US products and will release it soon”. China says the US steel tariffs that started this tiff are against WTO rules, and they might have to call Trumps mummy if he doesn’t stop it. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt’s foreign policy was: "speak softly, and carry a big stick." Trumps ideology is speak silly and carry a big stick. Which, is quite smart.

China’s going to make it rain. A new weather modification system will utilise Indian Monsoon Clouds to destroy anyone who dares oppose China. Joke. The Tibetan Plateau will house thousands of silver iodide production chambers. Silver Iodide is a compound similar to ice which helps in seeding clouds from the mountains. This will be the worlds largest weather modifying project (not including the weaponized systems used by our secret reptile overlords oh and the Russians of course.) The area of rain fall China will be able to produce will be 3x as big as Spain (620,000sq miles). This low tech option keeps rainfall consistent and predictable reducing costs to services after unpredictable floods or drought.

Russia’s Navy is having a look at the world’s undersea communication cables. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, commander of the U.S. European Command, told Congress “We’ve seen activity in the Russian navy, and particularly undersea in their submarine activity, that we haven’t seen since the ’80s”. We as a planet use 400 fibre-optic under-water cables to connect all continents. Their use are critical to our modern world including it’s financial transactions and communication abilities. Most of these cables are owned by private companies like Google and Microsoft and could be a real pain in the backside if Russia played mean and severed a choke point or two.

Evidence of the largest dinosaur to roam our planets surface has been found in Scotland. Fossilized footprints of a Sauropod (Sauropods are the long necked dinosaurs) are seen to have been chilling by the seaside with Theropods (the T-Rex’s Grandad). Dr Steve Brusatte of Edinburgh University said: "It's important because it's a large site for dinosaur tracks, those are pretty hard to find… It shows both long-necked and meat-eaters were on the same site at the same time living together, side-by-side.” A nice snapshot of life 170 million years ago.
