U.S. media are reporting that the Supreme Court will not review President Trump's travel

ban policy, after a 120-day ban on refugees expired on Tuesday.

The legal challenge from Hawaii involves Trump's earlier version of his travel ban, which targeted

people from several Muslim-majority nations, and the case is likely to be sent to lower

courts.

Washington will now reportedly allow refugees to enter the U.S., but applicants will likely

go through a tougher vetting process.

U.S. senator slams President Trump in escalating Republican feud - Duration: 1:35.

A Republican senator has launched a scathing attack on President Trump over his handling

of the North Korean threat.

He also accused the president of being untruthful... and of damaging the reputation of the United

States on the global stage.

Yu Joonhee reports.

Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday,...

Republican senator Bob Corker of Tennessee,... launched a searing verbal onslaught on President

Trump,... after the two exchanged insults on Twitter.

Corker said the president was hurting America's global standing... with his "untruths", "name-calling"

and "attempted bullying",... heightening the ongoing feud between the two Republicans.

He added... that Trump was out of his depth when it comes to foreign policy,... particularly

in dealing with North Korea,... and that he should leave it to the professionals to resolve

the issue.

Corker warned... the president was taking the U.S. on "a path to World War III"... and

that Trump needed to step back... in order for positive developments to occur.

The controversy began... when Trump attacked Corker on Twitter... over his role in helping

former president Barack Obama... reach what he called a "bad deal" with Iran.

This prompted a tweet from Corker,... who accused the president of being untruthful...

while describing the White House... as an "adult day-care center".

The ongoing feud between Trump and congressional Republicans... is adding to uncertainties

surrounding the GOP's efforts... to push through its proposed tax reforms.

President Trump is hoping to score his first major legislative victory... by passing the

tax bill through the Republican-majority Congress... by the end of the year.

COLD WAR 2: United States and Russia 'heading for conflict' says bombshell report - Duration: 3:46.

COLD WAR 2: United States and Russia 'heading for conflict' says bombshell report

It states tensions between the countries are at the lowest point since the height of the Cold War, saying the chance of a full-on confrontation has shot up.

The shocking report – called "An accident waiting to happen: Trump, Putin and the US-Russia relationship" – was penned by Dr Bobo Lo, of the Lowy Institute.

Dr Lo states relations between the two superpowers has reached this critical stage due to a number of factors.

These are the election of Donald Trump in the US last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin's tough foreign policy that has been met with sanctions and finally the countries just generally not seeing eye-to-eye.

The ongoing North Korea crisis has also added fuel to the flames as both countries disagree on how to deal with the threat from Kim Jong-un.

In the shocking report, Dr Lo says the time is now to figure out whether "Moscow and Washington can manage their many differences and avoid a dangerous escalation of tensions." But the Russia expert says this dialling down of tensions may not even be possible, explaining: "The best-case scenario for the relationship in the short to medium term may be one of mutual containment, reminiscent of the Cold War.

"However, even this relative stability appears elusive.". But Dr Lo says this breakdown of relations has been a gradual thing that came to a head following the Trump's election.

Despite the President saying he wanted to have a good relationship with Putin, allegations of Russian interference in the US election have made this impossible.

"The ongoing scandal of Kremlin involvement in the US election, and the Trump camp's ties with Russian security agencies have made Russia among the most toxic of issues in Washington," Dr Low states.

"The storied personal dynamic between Trump and Vladimir Putin has proved more a hindrance than a help.".

Dr Lo claims the future for relations between the US and Russia looks bleak, stating: "The best-case scenario in the short to medium term might be a relationship not unlike that between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

"Such a scenario, however, seems increasingly unlikely. Many of the problems that dogged relations during the George W.

Bush and Obama eras have become more serious, and could generate new crises." He adds: "However, there are real doubts as to whether mutual 'strategic containment' is sustainable in an increasingly fluid and volatile world. The potential for accidents is considerable..

Health Ranger reminds us that U S food safety regulators are running on corruption - Duration: 4:27.

Health Ranger reminds us that U.S. food safety regulators are running on corruption

It�s a new day in Washington, D.C. after Donald J. Trump defied the odds and beat the

political establishment of both parties, but unfortunately, the federal bureaucracy lives

on and until he has more time to cut it down to size, it will continue to make lives more

difficult � and dangerous � for Americans.

One group of regulators that is particularly loathsome are those who deal with food safety,

notes Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger. In a recent podcast, he

asks if you�ve ever wondered why toxic food additives and ingredients that are banned

in many other countries around the world are still legal in foods sold across the USA,

or why GMOs aren�t allowed to be labeled in America, keeping consumers in the dark

about what they�re eating?

�The answer is that U.S. government regulators have been deeply corrupted by industry influence.

They now operate solely to protect the interests of food and agriculture industries by keeping

consumers ignorant of all the toxic poisons and GMOs they�re eating,� Adams says.

The Health Ranger noted that many substances like GMOs and pesticides are being banned

by other countries but not the United States, because our government �is so incredibly

corrupt� (as we�ve seen once more in recent days with new revelations about how Russian

officials bribed Hillary Clinton and her husband to get 20 percent of U.S.-held uranium � and

the FBI knew about it but did nothing).

Adams says Americans are currently living under a system of �food fascism� because

the government is so beholden to many big corporations and together they have formed

a totalitarian partnership that beats down competition while enforcing corporate- and

big government-friendly rules, even to the detriment of We the People.

�When you have big corporations write the regulatory rules, you have fascism,� he

said. �When government exists to protect the interests of the corporations while betraying

the interests of the people, you have fascism.�

And the problem is particularly inherent in the American food industry, where corporate

control over the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture

(USDA) is pervasive.

�Think about it,� he said. �Why in any sane society would we not label GMOs? Why

would we not want the consumer to have more information that they can use to make an informed

decision about what they wish to eat?

And yet, every legitimate effort � by states, by advocacy groups, by organic growers � to

force the government to mandate GMO labeling has gone down in defeat or is being litigated

out of existence in the courtrooms. (Related: Check out the Health Ranger�s GMO labeling

song �Just Label It�.)

While the issue hasn�t yet come up during the Trump administration, President Obama

� who claimed in 2008 during his first presidential campaign to support GMO labeling � signed

federal legislation in August 2016 preempting states from requiring food labeling to contain

information on GMOs.

That law, Adams said, signifies to Americans that they don�t really have a right to know

what�s in their food.

�Of course, America is the headquarters of Monsanto and the biotech industry, which

of course have their financial tentacles into academia, the media� and government.

Adams noted that Trump is pro-organic and doesn�t need GMO corporate America�s money,

making him the most likely president to push for new legislation that would require food

makers to fully inform Americans about what�s in their food.

�It�s no coincidence that the people who used to argue that smoking cigarettes was

safe are now arguing that GMOs are safe,� Adams said, alluding to the similarities between

how the tobacco and GMO industries are using similar public relations tactics to keep people

in the dark about the dangers of

their products.

Five US Presidents Stand For Anthem At Benefit, Most Miss Secret Message On George Bush Sr 's Blazer - Duration: 22:32.

Five US Presidents Stand For Anthem At Benefit, Most Miss Secret Message On George Bush Sr.'s

Blazer

Just this weekend five former US presidents (and President Trump by video conference call)

came together at the One America Appeal to raise money for Americans suffering from hurricane

devastation.

As IJR reports, it was a time when all presidents went to the podium to give remarks and rally

the crowd.

The remarks were all about bringing us together and getting through hard times.

Jimmy Carter, for example, talked about his work with Habitat for Humanity, and praised

Americans for spending so many hours each year volunteering.

It was all about responding to tragedy by coming together, and these five former presidents

were putting aside their political differences in order to unite in the effort.

A moment that really caught everyone's attention, however, came right at the beginning as the

national anthem played.

All the US presidents stood with their hands on their heart as the anthem played, although

George H.W. Bush Sr. could not due to being in a wheelchair now.

He still put his hand over his heart and showed his love for country.

There was a small detail on his blazer jacket that many people didn't see, however.

That's because it was very hard to see, but still definitely intentional.

If you look closely, you can see that George HW Bush had his sleeve specially stitched

in red, white and blue.

George W. Bush might be an anti-Trump traitor who wants to rant on about "white supremacy,"

but at least his dad knows how to show some respect, right?

What do you think about Bush Sr's blazer jacket?

Was it corny or cool in your opinion?

Out of the five presidents who do you think was the best and who do you think was the

worst?

The event altogether

was

a success.

the event:

Asiana Airlines given temporary waiver on enhanced security checks for U.S.-bound passengers - Duration: 0:45.

Asiana Airlines has been given a temporary waiver by the United States,... on new screening

measures that are being applied to all U.S.-bound passengers.

Korea's second-biggest air carrier says its request to delay the implementation of tightened

security checks was accepted.

In June, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration asked 180 airlines in 105 countries

to conduct pre-flight screening and interviews of passengers headed for the U.S.

Those measures are due to kick in on Thursday,... but Asiana has been given a six-month grace

period until April of next year... in consideration of its ongoing relocation to a new terminal

at Incheon International Airport.

S. Korean president calls diplomacy with U.S., China, Japan, Russia crucial in face of growing ... - Duration: 2:42.

President Moon Jae-in has officially appointed his chief of missions to the U.S., China,

Japan and Russia.

As he awarded the four with their credentials, the South Korean leader highlighted the importance

of these countries to South Korea as it faces North Korea's defiant pursuit of nuclear weapons

capabilities.

Our chief Blue House correspondent Moon Connyoung has more.

South Korea's diplomatic relations with four global powers surrounding the Korean peninsula

is more important now than ever... in the face of North Korea's increasingly defiant

nuclear arms program.

That's President Moon Jae-in... as he stressed the role of his new ambassadors to the U.S.,

China, Japan and Russia... calling for their absolute best to further enhance South Korea's

relations with the countries of their post.

(Korean) "While we seek to diversify our foreign relations

policy by also boosting ties with the EU, ASEAN, and India, it remains unchanged that

our relations with the U.S., Japan, China, and Russia are the foundation of our foreign

policy.

EU, , 4 . That's especially true now considering the

grave nature of North Korea's nuclear and missile program.

Our diplomacy with these four countries is especially important for a peaceful resolution

of North Korea's nuclear issue, establishment of a peaceful regime on the Korean peninsula

and the entire Northeast Asia."

, , 4 .

Pointing out that never before have South Korea's ambassadors to all four of these countries

been filled with political appointees...

President Moon said the decision reflects the gravity of these nations to his foreign

policy agenda.

(Korean) "As for our ties with the U.S., not only do

we have the task of further consolidating the bilateral alliance to better cope with

North Korea's nuclear issue, , -

but also other sticking points such as the Korea, U.S. FTA and the issue on how to share

the cost of U.S. troops stationed in Korea."

- FTA

The president also underscored Seoul's relations with Tokyo and Moscow saying improved ties

with the two are just as crucial in peacefully resolving North Korea's nuclear problem and

ensuring regional cooperation even beyond that.

(Korean) "As far as China is concerned, we face the

task of significantly upgrading our diplomatic relationship to be on par with the bilateral

economic and trade volume, moving beyond the THAAD issue."

South Korea's diplomacy with these four global powers will be put to the test very soon...

with U.S. President Donald Trump set to make his maiden trip to Seoul in less than two

weeks and followed by South Korean President Moon's attendance of the APEC and ASEAN-related

summits.

S. Korea, U.S., and Japan kick off missile warning drills - Duration: 1:47.

The top defense chiefs of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan have pledged to maintain a

high state of readiness against North Korea,... utilizing both pressure and diplomacy.

Combined military exercises by the three countries that kicked off on Tuesday... are a realization

of the pressure we can expect on the rogue regime.

Lee Unshin has the details.

South Korea, the U.S. and Japan have kicked off their joint ballistic missile warning

and anti-submarine warfare drills on Tuesday.

The training includes missile detection and tracking exercises to enhance defense capabilities

against possible missile launches from North Korea.

The two-day drills, carried out in the waters off the Korean Peninsula and Japan,... are

the fifth of their kind.

On Monday, Seoul's Defense Minister, Song Young-moo, and his U.S. and Japanese counterparts,...

James Mattis and Itsunori Onodera, reaffirmed the need to up their military preparation,

by continuing to hold joint military drills against Pyongyang's growing provocations.

The three met on the sidelines of the ASEAN security forum in the Philippines, and committed

to supporting trilateral efforts to tackle the North through maximum pressure.

Song added that South Korea is still prioritizing a peaceful solution,... but if Pyongyang were

to use military force on his country,...

Seoul would have no choice but to take strong action.

(Korean) "We understand the weight of engaging in a

war as such.

We would make all efforts necessary to resolve the issue in a diplomatic and economic way."

Tokyo's defense minister however endorsed Washington's view to consider "all options"

on the table... for dealing with the North's recent threats including a pair of missile

launches that flew over Japanese territory.

BREAKING: US sends THIRD aircraft carrier near North Korea in shock war move - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:30.

BREAKING: US sends THIRD aircraft carrier near North Korea in shock war move

A THIRD aircraft carrier has arrived near North Korea in a shocking move amid growing

fears of war with Kim Jong-un.

USS Nimitz has joined USS Theodore Roosevelt – dubbed the "Big Stick" – and USS

Ronald Reagan in the western Pacific.

The 100,000-ton warship and its strike group joins the two carriers amid fears of war with

North Korea.

Each vessel is accompanied with a cohort of destroyers and submarines, and USS Ronald

Reagan has been carrying out war drills since last week.

It is unprecdented to three aircraft carriers in the region at one time, and is a huge gathering

of US sea power.

North Korea will be furious with the move, believing US military drills in the region

are rehearsals for war.

The US Navy confirmed the arrival of USS Nimitz today as top officer Captain Carlos Sardiello

promised the warships are "ready for anything".

The massive carrier cost £3.5 billion ($4.5 billion) and is crewed by 7,500 sailors and

marines.

It has a wing over 90 warplanes and helicopters which can take off from its massive 1,000ft

long deck.

USS Nimitz arrival comes ahead of Donald Trump visit to the Korean Peninsula in early November.

The US Navy have not confirmed the carrier's mission, but experts have described it has

sending a "significant signal" to North Korea.

Big Stick's commanding officer Cpt Sardiello said: "USS Theodore Roosevelt is prepared

to carry out the full spectrum of possible missions, from humanitarian relief to combat

operations.

"When a carrier leaves on deployment, we have to be ready for anything."

The warship's deployment comes amid a war of words between US President Donald Trump

and Kim over the rogue state's nuclear programme.

Adam Mount, a defense analyst and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists told

CNN: "It does send a significant signal.

It is a major projection of force any time a carrier moves into a region.

"US adversaries will read something into it."

Two US aircraft carriers were off the Korean Peninsula back in June.

USS Carl Vinson and the USS Ronald Reagan operating together as Trump promised to send

an "armada" to North Korea.

However, this was the first time it had happened since the 90s.

Tensions rage as Japan warned North Korea still pose a "critical and imminent" threat

to the world.

Kim has not fired missile or tested a nuclear bomb since September 15.

Yesterday, it emerged US warships shot down missiles in drills of Scotland amid the crisis

with North Korea.

The Best New Architecture - Top 5 in the US - Summer 2017 - Duration: 5:16.

The best architecture made in the US recently, according to published reports, is the following

five designs.

They come from different places – big cities, countryside, and even from deep forests.

Position number 5.

The Watt Family Innovation Center is a university building where the students gather to meet

and study.

South Carolina is the state where the Clemson University tries to do the best for its students,

this time in cooperation with the architectural firm Perkins and Will.

Visually, the building is between an extremely simplified Greek temple, and a ship shaped

building packed with young people, classrooms and advanced technology.

Thanks to its glazing transparency, it seems inviting-us-all on-board, into the interior.

The architects have constructed complex multi layered facade - firm walls are behind the

wooden slats that are behind the metal frame and the huge glass windows.

There are many places in between these walls and layers, where students can be together

or study on their-own.

Simple furniture and bright orange accents are present all around.

This beautiful and expensive architectural design is all for students, but it is also

a great piece of promotion for the Clemson University and partner companies.

The next architectural design… as number 4 - a condominium building that relates quite

better to its context than it is usual for a location in New York, in the heart of Brooklyn.

This architectural piece is a product of the architect's and investor's decision

not to be so selfish like when you design huge high cubes that suck-off

all sky-and-air still left in Manhattan.

This design with cascade terraces on the upper half of the building, does not hurt the typical

Brooklyn urban structure, but improves it, giving a good example for the future projects.

People who will own and use these terraces will share great views over the city that

never sleeps, but more than that, they will be such a human connection between the sharp

city skyline and coziness of their own privacy.

For this approach to the project, being sensitive but decisive in its work, the New York's

architectural firm ODA deserves all the respect.

Further on the list… number 3 belongs to a place where you would like to escape from

pressures of everyday living.

The house is in a forest one hour drive from Seattle.

This architecture in the American Northwest makes you – if you are lucky enough to be

there – that you belong to the nature.

It is made of wood, and by its design, we cannot so clearly recognize if it comes from

the past, or it is recently built.

In fact, that is the quality that should be emphasized – this type of house, a hut,

retreat, cabin, made from the wood found around, is such a perfect structure for you to settle

in, that it can belong to all times, all generations, no matter if it's 19th or 21st century.

The truth is that the house is a decades-long process, probably still unfinished.

The architect is the owner himself, Jim Olson, the man who obviously succeeded

to integrate architecture and nature.

At number 2, there is a project of affordable housing, an example how to approach the problem

of making cheaper flats, but to stay in the typical building lines and shapes, in conditions

of South Los Angeles where different crimes are still present.

From the outside, the house seems to be protected, with living areas

directed toward inner open space.

With interesting roof opening that collects sunlight for that inner area, house is well

designed, in spite of the fact that it is almost a product of a scientific and social

calculation. Something similar to this…

At number one.

The housing with 52 units for disabled veterans.

That is not just a place to stay, this building offers protection, support, and medical services.

Architecture that is so successful makes a connection between private and the building's

inner public space where the tenants are encouraged to go, to share, to be together.

On the other side, the building is not isolated from the outside world.

Those levels of privacy and opportunities to be together, carved in a bold white design

statement, bring awards and many compliments to Brooks + Scarpa Architects.
