The chummy photos amazed some observers, particularly coming a day after the president fired FBI director James Comey, who had been running the investigation into whether the Trump campaign co-ordinated with Russian officials. During one of the most important national security investigations of our time , Director Comey's firing is a blatant attack on the independence of the Justice Department.

Comey not to speak? Fewer than 48 hours after taking over, McCabe testified in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asserting that Comey's firing by President Donald Trump has had no impact on an ongoing Russian Federation investigation.

The announcement comes the same day Mr Trump said he could name a new FBI Director as early as next week. The White House has said Comey's firing was unrelated to the Russian Federation probe, but in the interview with NBC News on Thursday, Trump said he knew he ran the risk that by firing Comey he would "confuse people" and "lengthen out the investigation" into ties to Russian Federation.

The United Kingdom's National Health Service was hit hard, its hospitals forced to close wards and emergency rooms. Russian Federation appeared to be the hardest hit nation, with its interior and emergencies ministries and biggest bank, Sberbank, saying they were targeted.

China's Defense Ministry announced Tuesday that the country's rocket force, which oversees its ballistic missile force, conducted live-fire drills and weapons tests " in recent days ", according to a brief statement on its website. The THAAD system is created to intercept and destroy short and medium-range ballistic missiles during their final phase of flight. This proposal is supported by Russian Federation, which has urged Washington and Seoul to reconsider their decision to station THAAD ...

Congress that Comey's sacking would not derail the Russian Federation investigation. "He said , 'you are not under investigation , '" Mr Trump claimed, repeating an assertion he first made as he announced Mr Comey's firing . It is highly unusual for a sitting president who has authority over the FBI to ask about an existing investigation, although such action probably does not violate the law, legal experts have said.

He was originally found guilty in 2015 of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his passengers and today's ruling marked the end of the appeals process, with the court upholding the initial verdict. The last body was recovered from the ship almost three years later. "He was made the scapegoat ", lawyer Senese said, adding that the defence team would now consider an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh said the party has legitimate concerns over the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the Election Commission needs to address them. They are the enemy of the party (Aam Aadmi Party) and they should refrain from this act. "No one can separate us", Kejriwal tweeted. The AAP finished much behind the BJP in all three wings of the municipal corporation.

Several cybersecurity firms said they had identified the malicious software behind the attack, which has apparently hit Russian Federation the hardest. Chris Wysopal, of the software security firm Veracode, said criminal organisations were probably behind the attack, given how quickly the malware spread.

This is seen as an apparent bid to gain influence in Sri Lanka that saw a 26-year-long armed insurgency. He said Sri Lanka was "unlikely" to agree to China's request to dock the submarine at any time, given India's concerns.

"We will continue to invest in driving positive change and economic growth to deepen our development co-operation", he said.

Following a tumultuous week that saw the firing of FBI Director James Comey, Trump didn't waste time taking the opportunity to lay into his critics.
