CARACAS: The US and Russia clashed publicly over Venezuela on Monday, raising geopolitical stakes over the oil-producing nation after Moscow sent dozens of soldiers to Caracas amid what it alleged was a budding "coup." |
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned his counterpart Sergei Lavrov over the phone that "the United States and regional countries will not stand idly by as Russia exacerbates tensions in Venezuela." |
The tense conversation came after Russia sent two planes reportedly carrying around 100 soldiers and 35 tons of military equipment to Venezuela's main airport outside Caracas on Saturday. |
One independent Venezuelan journalist, Javier Mayorca, reported that the deployment also included General Vasily Tonkoshkurov, a top official who heads the Mobilisation Directorate of Russia's armed forces. |
Although Russian state news agency Sputnik described the troop arrival as a movement to "fulfill technical military contracts," the development unsettled Washington, which has thrown its weight behind opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president against President Nicolas Maduro. |
"The continued insertion of Russian military personnel to support the illegitimate regime of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela risks prolonging the suffering of the Venezuelan people who overwhelmingly support interim President Juan Guaido," Pompeo said, according to his office. |
The Organization of American States echoed the US condemnation. |
"It is unacceptable that a foreign government engages in military cooperation programmes with a usurping regime that has been declared illegitimate by resolutions and Inter-American law, which also threatens hemispheric peace and security," read a statement from the OAS General Secretariat. |
Lavrov said in a statement he had complained of "attempts by Washington to organise a coup d'etat in Venezuela" during his conversation with Pompeo. |
Such moves "constitute violations of the UN charter and undisguised interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state," it said. |
Russia and China are the main allies of Venezuela. Both have lent billions of dollars to the oil-rich South American country, propping up Maduro's cash-strapped government. |

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has a record of ordering his military -- or paramilitary -- forces into several theaters to challenge US strategies, notably in Syria and Ukraine. |
The Russian move is unlikely to alter US strategy in the short-term however, said Ana Quintana of the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington. |
"The US should continue stressing to the Russians it is in their interests for a democratic transition to occur in Venezuela," said Quintana. |
"While the US must continue to monitor Russia's activities and warn them against further escalation, this minor tactical move should not result in a strategic shift in policy." |
US moves against Caracas have ratcheted up in recent weeks, with President Donald Trump warning that "all options" — implicitly including US military intervention — were being considered. |
"We have dismantled a plan organized personally by the diabolical puppet to kill me," Maduro told thousands of supporters in Caracas, referring to Guaido. |
His government gave details of the alleged plot on state television, with Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez saying "hitmen" from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras had been recruited "using big sums of money" and sent to Colombia ahead of missions into Venezuela to carry out "targeted assassinations" and "sabotage.... |
Rodriguez accused Guaido's chief of staff, Roberto Marrero, of receiving money from the United States and being a key organizer of the alleged operation. |
Marrero, a 49-year-old lawyer, was arrested on Thursday in his Caracas home, triggering an outcry and demands that he be immediately released by the US, the European Union and major Latin American countries that recognize Guaido as Venezuela's interim president. |
Mathematicians plan to launch a series of free open-access journals that will host their peer-reviewed articles on the preprint server arXiv. The project was publicly revealed yesterday in a blog post by Tim Gowers, a Fields Medal winner and mathematician at the University of Cambridge, UK. |
The initiative, called the Episciences Project, hopes to show that researchers can organize the peer review and publication of their work at minimal cost, without involving commercial publishers. |
“It’s a global vision of how the research community should work: we want to offer an alternative to traditional mathematics journals,” says Jean-Pierre Demailly, a mathematician at the University of Grenoble, France, who is a leader in the effort. Backed by funding from the French government, the initiative may launch ... |
Many mathematicians — and researchers in other fields — claim that they already do most of the work involved in publishing their research. At no cost, they type up and format their own papers, post them to online servers, join journal editorial boards and review the work of their peers. By creating journals that publis... |
That cost is not small, but it could eventually be provided in part by the journals' users. The arXiv server, for example, costs about US$826,000 a year to run, and is funded by the Cornell University Library in Ithaca, New York; the Simons Foundation in New York and institutional members. |
Demailly says that he first thought of open-access electronic journals that overlay arXiv eight years ago, but the concept became a reality only last June, when he was contacted by the Centre for Direct Scientific Communication (CCSD), based in Villeurbanne, France. The CCSD, a unit of the French National Centre for Sc... |
For the Episciences Project, the CCSD plans to create a publishing platform that will support online peer-reviewed journals. Each journal, or ‘epijournal’, would have its own editor and editorial board, and authors could submit their arXiv-posted papers to their journal of choice. The journal would then organize peer r... |
Gowers plans to start a journal in the interdisciplinary field of additive combinatorics; Demailly would not say what other early epijournals might be. Gowers has strong views on shaking up research publishing — last year, he kick-started a boycott of the Dutch publishing giant Elsevier (see also Nature’s profile of Go... |
The idea of overlaying arXiv is not new: some mathematics journals tried it in the early 2000s but scrapped the idea because libraries began dropping print subscriptions, says Demailly. Meanwhile, there are already some free, community-organized mathematics journals, such as Documenta Mathematica, funded by the German ... |
Demailly says that he expects to adjust the concept with feedback from the mathematics community. “If people want larger reviews linked to papers, or the possibility of online comments and blogs, we can offer this with only minor changes to the platform,” he says. At the moment, the model's success or failure hinges on... |

ASABA—Chairman of Delta State All Progressives Congress, APC, Reconciliation Committee, Mr. Richard Odibo, has urged all aggrieved members of the party to sheathe their swords, assuring that the committee would reconcile grievances. |
Odibo, who spoke to newsmen in Asaba, said the committee would do everything within its power to deliver on its mandate. |
He also solicited the support of all stakeholders to facilitate the work of the committee. |
While admitting that there were challenges, he said the 21-man committee was carefully selected to bring aggrieved members together and forge a way forward for the party to achieve victory in the 2019 general election. |
Unlike the restrooms available for women commuters at most railway stations in the city, Bandra railway station will be the first to set up a separate room for the care of expecting or lactating mothers. |
In a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project of the Union Bank of India for the Western Railway, a specific revamp of toilet space is planned on platform number 1. |
The existing toilet block will be renovated to have more washrooms for both men and women and a separate room to cater to mothers and infants. |
“The toilet block would include a specific ladies care room for breast-feeding. It would be made available to them for free and women would be allowed to spend as much time as they require inside the room. Mothers could also use the room for changing their baby’s clothes and other requirements,” a Union Bank of India o... |
With the introduction of the unit, the railways is also expected to make available essential items, such as baby food, milk and hot water, among other items. |
At present, waiting rooms for women at certain A1 railway stations like CST and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus have spaces allocated for mothers. Officials said this is the first time ever a baby nursing room is being developed for specific care of mothers and children. “In a brainstorming session between a committee set up o... |
“The baby nursing room could be a resting room for mothers as no actual space exist for their concerns on railway stations. We thought this could be a great addition among the other facilities provided in the toilet,” a senior WR official said. |
The toilets will be redesigned with its boards and doors having wooden carvings to grant it a heritage feel. In its other works, lamp posts, boards and benches will be redesigned in wood to add to the heritage feel. |
Female commuters have approved the thought of having a separate ladies care room. “It is a must for female commuters. The room will benefit mothers who can get some privacy with their children at crowded railway stations,” Neena Ghate, a commuter, said. |
The toilet is expected to be built by June 15 at a cost of Rs 1 crore. The Agasti foundation for railways has been asked to carry out the project. |

Authorities believe the suspect was smuggling cigs into New York. |
WEYERS CAVE - The Augusta County Sheriff's Office arrested a New York man Tuesday after he was reportedly caught smuggling thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes while at a rest area near Weyers Cave, according to an arrest report. |
A deputy at the northbound rest area on Interstate 81 spotted the man acting suspiciously after exiting a van. The man eyed the deputy for some time before the deputy approached him and began asking questions. |
"He claimed he had been to North Carolina and was headed back to New York," said Lt. Aaron Le Veck of the sheriff's office. |
The deputy noticed a number of boxes in the rented van, and the driver said he was taking them to New York for a friend. |
"He said he thought it was honey," Le Veck said. |
Upon closer inspection, the van was actually carrying more than 600 cartons of cigarettes covered with a shower curtain, the arrest report said. |
Le Veck said there is a large black market in New York for cigarettes because the state has a higher tax rate on its cigarettes. He said cigarettes are often purchased for much less in the south and then smuggled back into New York for sale. |
Le Veck said the New York street value of the cigarettes in the suspect's van was placed at more than $70,000. |
Ouafa I. Jindyeh, 46, of Staten Island, New York, is charged with possession with intent to distribute tax-paid contraband cigarettes. |
He is free on a personal recognizance bond, court records show. |
ALL the ingredients were there for a typical day at a seaside - sand in the sandwiches, jelly fish stings, getting into trouble with inflatable toys being swept out to sea and even the risk of sunstroke for people unused to spending hours in the hot sun. |
It's been quite a wait this year but summer finally turned up and across Merseyside crowds headed in their thousands to the seaside to make the most of the sun. |
As the Met Office warned it could turn to thundery showers by today, people headed out with their bathing gear and a gritty British determination to have a "good time" while they could. |
Liverpool saw decent temperatures reach around 25C (77F), while in London they were 26C, and in Manchester they were 24C, although they were unremarkable by continental standards where Paris saw them reach 31C and in Rome the temperature hit around 37C. |
Lifeguards said Wirral's coast had its busiest day of the year with all beaches around the peninsula packed to capacity as families from as far away as Manchester headed for the seaside. New Brighton, Moreton, Hoylake and West Kirby were the most popular locations. |
Chief lifeguard Tony Jones said: "It's packed everywhere, all round the coast. I think every resident in Wirral has headed for the beach." |
Mr Jones added: "We had asked the radio to put out hourly warnings about the off-shore winds and risks of inflatables, but there have still been incidents. |
"We are also expecting plenty of cases of sunstroke as the day wears on. This has definitely been the busiest day this year in the coastal zone." |
New Brighton Lifeboat was launched three times yesterday as people headed out on to the water. |
Crowds also flocked to the beach at Southport and the amusements at the seaside town saw one of their busiest days. |
Southport's Pleasureland Amusement Park marketing officer Mark Lee said the fair had been "buzzing" over the weekend.. |
He said: "We have had thousands here this weekend. This has felt like a bank holiday, and been really good for Southport as whole." |
And inland many still found sunny spots to enjoy the warm sun. Boys taking part in the Liverpool-Knowsley International Youth Soccer Tournament in Allerton found the heat was turned up for their matches, while parks across the region had sunseekers finding a comfortable spot to make the most of the weather. |
The Met Office said temperatures in England and Wales would remain between 23C (73F) and 29C (84F) today. |
But powerful thunder storms working their way up from France will put an end to any sunbathing over the next few days. |
Heavy showers and thunder were set to sweep across the country from the west today and tomorrow. |
