Critics of Iran Nuclear Deal Attack U.S. Cash Payment
Disclosure of a $400 million cash payment from the U.S. to Tehran at the time four Americans were released in January has reignited a political furor over the Iran nuclear deal.
Some officials were afraid the timing and manner of the $400 million transfer, coming as American prisoners were released, would send the wrong message, according to those familiar with the discussions.
As many as five other people were injured in Russell Square. Police said terrorism is one possibility being explored at this stage of the investigation.
A group that monitors extremists’ online activity says al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb has said it killed a Malian officer outside his Timbuktu home.

What’s going on here? The mind doesn’t register it at first. This tangle of bodies forces you to lean in and hunt for clues. These are people, sure, but what are they doing? Why are they lying that way?
First, the facts: The men are alive. They are inmates at the Quezon City Jail near Manila, the capital of the Philippines, a nation of 98 million. A photographer, Noel Celis of Agence France-Presse, recently spent several days and nights at the jam-packed facility and emerged with a rare and intimate look inside one of the world’s most-congested penal systems.
Jails around the country are holding five times the intended amount of inmates, according to AFP, which cited government data, and the Justice Secretary said areas for new facilities were being prepared. This specific jailreportedly houses those who are on trial but have not yet been convicted; it holds some 3,800 inmates despite being originally built for 800.
The idea to enter the jail emerged in an AFP editorial meeting, Celis told TIME in an email. A reporter in Manila, Ayee Macaraig, suggested a story on jails and Celis proposed the Quezon City complex, which he had previously visited.
Once at the jail, Celis asked the warden if he could photograph the men as they slept. “I was expecting to see sleeping inmates on the open basketball court but not cramped like sardines,” he said. “To go from one place to another, inmates need to stand up to give way.” For the photographer, the scene reminded him of old inferno paintings.
Celis’ goal is simple: to expose the current state of the jail in a bid to shock viewers and advocacy groups into helping and push the government to find a solution, or perhaps build another facility. “What’s the use of photojournalism if the readers or the world would just appreciate the pictures asart,” he said. “If there’s no reaction, it’s either of the two: The photographer is a failure or the world just [doesn’t] care [and] the message didn’t get through.”
At the least, his images are calling more attention to an overcrowded prison system that’s drowning under the crackdown pushed by Rodrigo Duterte, the controversial president elected in May. Human Rights Watch recently came across the picture of inmates sleeping in the jail and attached it to a “dispatch” highlighting the safety issues and health effects from inadequate necessities and sanitation.
Phelim Kine, the deputy Asia director at HRW, said these dispatches aim to bring attention to particular rights abuses. In the Philippines they have recently revolved around the president’s anti-drug campaign that critics allege has emboldened vigilantes and left hundreds dead. “There has been a sharp increase in suspected drug dealers and users who are surrendering themselves to authorities because they are afraid they are going to get killed next,” he added. “They actually see prison as a safe haven.”
When it came time to find an image for a dispatch this week, titled “Philippines’ ‘War on Drugs’ Worsens Jail Miseries,” Kine said “everyone said this is the image–this is the one we want to carry this.”
Kine called the country’s detention centers “a human disaster” and said scenes that are similar to what Celis captured could be found across the country. “You have people spending years literally in prison waiting for a court date,” he said. “Jails, prison facilities, detention centers have become these holding tanks for people who’ve never had their day in court. The mass surrenders of suspected drug users and dealers are worsening that on an almost exponential level.”

BEIJING (Reuters) - A court in China jailed a prominent human rights lawyer for seven years on Thursday for subverting the government, state media said, the latest in a string of convictions linked to an unprecedented crackdown on legal defenders.
WASHINGTON -- A court in Uzbekistan today sentenced the brother of an RFE/RL journalist to 8 years in prison on drug-related charges, the latest government action involving persons affiliated with the media company's Uzbek Service. In court proceedings, Aziz Yusupov was represented by a lawyer assigned to him by Uzbekistan’s National Security Service (formerly the KGB), whom Yusupov's family said persuaded him to make a false confession to mollify the court. During the one-day trial, no evidence was brought against Yusupov to corroborate the charges. “This has all the signs of an attempt by the government to intimidate RFE/RL journalists because of their uncensored reporting in Uzbekistan," said RFE/RL President Thomas Kent. “We vigorously condemn any attempt to silence us.” Yusupov told RFE/RL that the charges brought against him were changed several times during the series of interrogations that preceded the trial in order to increase the severity of the sentence he could serve. Yusupov was targeted in an earlier incident in March 2013, when state security agents confiscated his state-issued ID, computer, and other personal documents, citing his brother's work for RFE/RL and an interview Yusupov gave to its Uzbek Service. During their interrogations of Yusupov, Uzbek agents accused RFE/RL of slandering Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan frequently brings narcotics-related charges against political activists and critics. In 2008, Uzbek Service contributor Salijan Abdurahmanov was sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of drug smuggling that the OSCE characterized as “made-up,” adding that the trial “did not withstand the scrutiny of a fair procedure.” In another incident this week, agents with Uzbekistan’s National Security Service seized an apartment in Tashkent owned by the director of RFE/RL’s Uzbek Service. Uzbekistan authorities have interrogated the family members of other RFE/RL employees in recent months about their relatives’ journalistic work. On at least four occasions, family members of Uzbek Service correspondents have also been denied exit visas, a Soviet practice still required in Uzbekistan, to leave the country. RFE/RL’s Uzbek Service relies on constant innovation and a wide network of local sources to report news and engage with audiences in one of the world’s most closed societies. RFE/RL was forced by the Uzbek government to close its bureau in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent, after reporting on the 2005 government killing of protesters in the city of Andijon. Despite government efforts to block access, the Service’s website averages more than 2 million visits per month, and its video reports are viewed more than 4 million times per month on YouTube.

Police were investigating the motive of a 19-year-old man who killed one woman and injured five other people in a stabbing spree, just hours after security was bolstered on the U.K. capital’s streets.
An adviser to Donald Trump criticized United States policy toward Russia in a July trip to Moscow, theHuffington Post reported Tuesday. The trip came the week before the Trump campaign reportedly worked to soften language in the Republican party platform regarding U.S. support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.
"Washington and other Western capitals have impeded potential progress through their often hypocritical focus on ideas such as democratization, inequality, corruption, and regime change," Trump adviser Carter Page said in a speech at a graduate school in Moscow in July, according to Huffington Post.
He also called for the U.S. to lift sanctions on Russia that were put in place after the annexation of Crimea.
Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, who has advised pro-Russian Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych, has denied that the campaign tried to change the platform, and there's no evidene that Page was involved.
This all comes as Trump has praised Russian Leader Vladimir Putin, suggested he won't support NATO allies, said he would look into recognizing the Russian annexation of Crimea, and called for a better relationship with Russia.
Page has investments in the Russian energy giant Gazprom, and consults businesses looking to work with Russian entities, according to the Huffington Post. And he told Bloomberg News in March that U.S. sanctions on Russia have hurt his business.
“So many people who I know and have worked with have been so adversely affected by the sanctions policy,” Page told Bloomberg in March. “There’s a lot of excitement in terms of the possibilities for creating a better situation.”
In his July speech in Moscow, Page said that if the U.S. were to lift sanctions on Russia, American companies could begin to work with Russian entities in the oil business, according to the Huffington Post.
Trump has denied that he has any business investments in Russia, but he has yet to address whether Russian businesses entities are invested in his projects.
From the standpoint of the United States, the prospect that a President Donald Trump would be unduly influenced by Vladimir Putin has paled beside the far more harrowing prospect that he wouldbe Vladimir Putin. Still, Trump’s relationship with Putin is creepy and mysterious. Some of its elements lie perfectly visible — the exchange of compliments between the two men, Putin’s efforts to help elect Trump, Trump’s adoption of unusually Russophilic policies on Ukraine, and the financial ties between Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin. The latter is coming more clearly into view with several new reports today.
1. Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, previously worked on behalf of a pro-Russian candidate’s effort to bring Ukraine back into Moscow’s orbit, a campaign that enjoyed Russian support. Michael Crowley reports that Manafort’s joining the Trump campaign was an inflection point. Despite a fondness for Putin as a strong leader who crushes his enemies, Trump had a hawkish line on his aggression against Ukraine. “We should definitely be strong. We should definitely do sanctions,” said Trump, who described Putin’s seizure of Crimea as taking Ukraine’s “heart and soul.” Since Manafort signed on, his tone has changed radically.
2. A second source of influence on Trump’s Russia policy is his Russia adviser, Carter Page.Christina Wilkie and S.V. Date report that, just days before Trump’s convention (where his campaign beat back a plank to endorse defensive weapons for Ukraine), Page traveled to Russia and delivered speeches criticizing American policy toward Russia as “hypocritical,” and called for an end to the sanctions imposed after the Ukraine invasion.
As Masha Froliak notes, Page is heavily invested in Gazprom. Gazprom is not merely a Russian firm the way Apple is an American one. It is a lever of the regime’s power, used to dispense patronage to allies and threaten countries that stand in the way of Russia’s foreign-policy goals. Page has complained that the sanctions hurt his energy firm’s bottom line.
3. Jeff Nesbit delves into the murky — and largely hidden — financial connections between Trump and Russia. This is the most potentially explosive piece of the relationship, and also the most inscrutable. Nesbit cites a lawsuit against Trump Soho, a hotel project that attracted financing from Russian underworld figures. (Read Michael Idov’s 2008 New York feature on the murky construction of the building.) A lawsuit cited by Nesbit “alleged that a primary source of funding for Trump’s big projects with Bayrock arrived ‘magically’ from sources in Russia and Kazakhstan whenever the business interest needed funding.” This gets closer to the deepest suspicion surrounding Trump: Because his multiple bankruptcies have made him un-creditworthy — banks don’t like lending money to people who make a practice of not paying back the loans — he has had to turn to unconventional sources. It is possible Trump is merely intertwined with Russians, as with other sources of capital. But it is also possible he has grown uniquely dependent on them in a way that gives Russia leverage over his policies.
The Trump-Russia connection would be a first-tier campaign scandal and probably a complete disqualification by its own volition, if it were not for the daily parade of jaw-dropping offenses that have commanded attention. There’s a reason why the Russian propaganda apparatus on televisionand the internet have thrown themselves behind Trump, and why the Russian hack of the Democratic National Committee was released at just the time when it could do the most damage. What we don’t know for certain is just what that reason is.
