Crash...

A U.S. military Black Hawk helicopter crashed off the southern coast of Yemen while training its crew, leaving one service member missing, five others were rescued, officials said.

Central Command "this was a routine training event specifically for U.S. military personnel."

Yemen, located on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, is the Arab world's poorest country and is engulfed in a yearslong civil war.

The war pits Shiite rebels known as Houthis and their allies against a Saudi-led coalition backing the country's internationally recognized government. The U.S. has provided targeting and logistical support to the Saudi-led coalition.

Yemen is also home to what the U.S. considers the most dangerous branch of the al-Qaida terror network. U.S. special forces backed with Emirati troops launched a raid in Yemen in January under President Donald Trump that killed a U.S. Navy SEAL and 30 other people.

Gu-Ru...

The conviction of the flashy guru of a hugely popular religious sect on charges of raping two female followers has set off violent riots by followers across much of north India.
More than two dozen people have died. Buses, trains and buildings have been set on fire.

The guru calls himself Saint Dr., is the embodiment of God on earth.  Over a 100,000 trekked to gather around the courtroom in the northern town of Panchkula.

He's facing other criminal investigations as well. There's an ongoing trial over the murder of a journalist. ....

He promotes vegetarianism, campaigns against drug addiction and holds massive blood donation camps.  He has started a film franchise in which he stars as the "Messenger of God," or MSG, with divine powers to save the world. The sect  runs schools, colleges and hospitals.

He enjoys the highest level of state security in addition to his own personal bodyguards.

Becloud...

A popular German news magazine depicting U.S. President Donald Trump draped in the American flag while giving a stiff-armed Nazi salute.
This is drawing sharp criticism from a prominent Jewish group and others.

Stern magazine's illustration is part of a cover story headlined "Sein Kampf," which translates as "His Struggle" and is a play on Adolf Hitler's infamous "Mein Kampf."

Germans must surely know that by misappropriating" Nazi symbols "they belittle and becloud" past crimes.   

Communication...

Four U.S. military service members who were part of Vice President Mike Pence's communications team have been reassigned after bringing women back to their hotel in Panama without registering them, U.S. officials have confirmed. The incident happened around the time that Pence was visiting the Central American nation.

The three Army soldiers and Air Force airman were reassigned pending an investigation into why they did not register the women into a secure area as required by security protocols, according to officials.  

The agency is staffed by military communications specialists who secure communications networks for the Vice President during domestic and overseas travel.

And they did...  Just a thought.
