The US has ordered two Cuban diplomats assigned to the United Nations to leave the country immediately, alleging that the envoys were engaged in "influence operations against the United States.""The Department of State today notified the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the United States requires the imminent departure of two members of Cuba's Permanent Mission to the United Nations for abusing their privileges of residence," State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement. "This is due to their attempts to conduct influence operations against the United States."The State Department provided no details on the substance of the diplomats' alleged transgressions and whether they occurred in the course of their official work at the global institution in New York City.The US also announced that all remaining members of Cuba's mission to the UN will have their travel restricted to the island of Manhattan -- the tightest limitations the US currently places on any foreign mission to the UN, according to the State Department. The US has also circumscribed travel by Iranian and Russian diplomats.A State Department official said Thursday's actions were "consistent with our obligations under the UN Headquarters Agreement, which we take seriously."'Vulgar slander'Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Eduardo Rodríguez Parrilla tweeted his response within hours, dismissing the accusations as "vulgar slander.""I categorically reject the unjustified expulsion of two officials from the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the UN and the tightening of the restrictions on the movements of the diplomats and families," Rodríguez said. "The allegation that they performed acts incompatible with their diplomatic status is vulgar slander."The US, Rodríguez said, "seeks to provoke a diplomatic escalation that would lead to the closing of bilateral embassies, intensifying the blockade and creating tensions between both countries."The State Department official, speaking on background to CNN, said, "The Cuban government has targeted the United States by sending personnel under diplomatic cover to engage in influence activities that are prejudicial to US national security."The diplomats were engaging in "activities that are outside the scope of their official functions," the official added, and said the US will continue to investigate whether other Cuban diplomats are using their positions at the UN "to interfere with us and our allies," adding that "we do not make these decisions lightly."'Troika of tyranny'Ortagus said, "We take any and all attempts against the National Security of the United States seriously."US-Cuba relations have been deeply troubled since Fidel Castro's 1959 overthrow of the US-backed regime in Havana and his turn toward the Soviet Union. The US has sanctioned Cuba longer than any other country, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.The Trump administration has reversed President Barack Obama's efforts to normalize relations with Havana, dubbing it part of a socialist "troika of tyranny" in the southern hemisphere, along with Nicaragua and Venezuela. The US has rolled back many of the policies Obama put in place and allowed US citizens to sue Cuban companies they believe have taken control of their families' former assets in Cuba.As President Donald Trump focuses on his reelection campaign, his policies on Cuba and Venezuela are a core part of his appeal to voters in the crucial swing state of Florida.Tensions have been exacerbated by a spate of 3528

The United States is the last country to allow flights of the Boeing 737 MAX fleet after at least 47 countries and multiple airlines grounded the aircraft following Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines crash.At least 271 of the 371 MAX planes in service were grounded, according to CNN calculations. To date, 385 MAX aircraft have been delivered, according to Flight Global, of which 344 are the MAX 8 variant.On Wednesday, Canada joined Egypt, Hong Kong, Lebanon and New Zealand in banning all Boeing MAX aircraft from their airspace as an extra safety precaution, joining scores of nations, carriers and authorities that have temporarily suspended the MAX 8 model or other models in the range.On Wednesday afternoon, Canada's Minister of Transport Marc Garneau said that as the result of new data that they received in the morning, they will no longer allow the Boeing 737 MAX 8 or 9 aircraft to take off or land in Canada, nor will they allow aircraft to fly over Canadian airspace.Six minutes after takeoff, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 plummeted into a field, killing all 157 people on board. Shortly after leaving Addis Ababa's Bole International Airport, the pilot reported flight control problems and asked to return to the base.As investigators search for clues into the cause of the disaster, some aviation experts are drawing parallels to the Lion Air Boeing MAX 8 plane that went down last October over the Java Sea in Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board.Both Boeing and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have said they have no plans to ground the aircraft.The US and Canada are the only countries with MAX 8 flights still allowing the jets to fly. US carriers including American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines are flying MAX 8 planes; Air Canada is also continuing to fly its MAX 8 fleet.The MAX 9 model has never crashed, but it was included in an FAA emergency airworthiness directive following the Lion Air crash last year. A MAX 10 model is still in development.China's aviation administration was the first to order a suspension on Monday evening, grounding all domestic Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets, citing its principle of "zero tolerance for safety hazards."China has one of the world's largest fleets of Boeing 737 MAX 8s, operating 97 of the planes, according to Chinese state-run media.The fall-out for Boeing and its future in China could be severe for investors: China is predicted to soon to become the world's first trillion-dollar market for jets.In a statement, Boeing said it continued to have "full confidence" in the safety of the 737 MAX 8 aircraft, but said it understands the decisions made by customers.On its official Twitter account, the company also reiterated that safety remains its priority.Daniel K. Elwell, the acting administrator of the FAA, said it has conducted a review of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and found "no basis" to ground the aircraft.As more nations ban the 737 MAX 8 planes, Boeing's stock continues a steep slide.Shares in Boeing are more than 10% lower than at Friday's close.As the Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes are still under investigation, there is no evidence that they had a common cause.The black boxes from the Ethiopian Airlines plane were recovered on Monday, which will enable investigators to learn more about the cause of the crash. On Wednesday, Ethiopian Airlines spokesman Asrat Begashaw told CNN the "black box" data recorders recovered will "definitely be going to Europe," as Ethiopia does not have the necessary equipment to analyze that data.Begashaw said they haven't decided which country the black boxes will go to yet.In the meantime, some aviation experts are focusing on the similarities between the two incidents."Given in both air crashes, the aircrafts were newly delivered Boeing 737 MAX 8, and both accidents occurred during the take-off, they share certain similarities," the Chinese administration said in a statement.Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde GebreMariam told CNN on Tuesday that the company's pilots had received additional training on the flight procedures involving the 737 MAX 8 after the Lion Air crash."We believe the similarities are substantial" between the two crashes, GebreMariam said, adding that both incidents featured new models of the same airplane, and both flights lasted only minutes before the planes went down."We don't yet know the exact cause of the accident, and speculation is not helpful in either way," GebreMariam said, "but I think there are questions without answers on the airplane."Still, aviation safety experts and regulators around the world remain divided on whether the Boeing 737 MAX 8 is safe."I've never said that it's unsafe to fly a particular model of aircraft, but in this case, I'm going to have to go there," David Soucie, a former FAA safety inspector, told CNN, saying passengers don't have enough information.Peter Goelz, a former managing director of the National Transportation Safety Board, said he believes it's too early for American authorities to ground the jets.Some pilots agree. The pilots union at Southwest Airlines, which has the largest fleet of MAX 8s still flying, has stood by the airline's decision.In a Southwest Airlines Pilot Association letter, union president Jonathan Weaks said the union is "extremely confident" that the 737 MAX is safe.He added that he would put his family, friends and loved ones on any Southwest flight, but that he has lobbied for training to "evolve and improve."The letter warns, however, that if new information comes to light, the union "will not hesitate to hold any organization or person accountable." 5654

The remains of an ancient ape found in a Bavarian clay pit suggest that humans’ ancestors began standing upright millions of years earlier than previously thought, scientists said Wednesday.An international team of researchers says the fossilized partial skeleton of a male ape that lived almost 12 million years ago in the humid forests of what is now southern Germany bears a striking resemblance to modern human bones. In a paper published by the journal Nature, they concluded that the previously unknown species — named Danuvius guggenmosi — could walk on two legs but also climb like an ape.The findings “raise fundamental questions about our previous understanding of the evolution of the great apes and humans,” said Madelaine Boehme of the University of Tuebingen, Germany, who led the research.The question of when apes evolved bipedal motion has fascinated scientists since Charles Darwin first argued that they were the ancestors of humans. Previous fossil records of apes with an upright gait — found in Crete and Kenya — dated only as far back as 6 million years ago.Boehme, along with researchers from Bulgaria, Germany, Canada and the United States, examined more than 15,000 bones recovered from a trove of archaeological remains known as the Hammerschmiede, or Hammer Smithy, about 70 kilometers (44 miles) west of the Germany city of Munich.Among the remains they were able to piece together were primate fossils belonging to four individuals that lived 11.62 million years ago. The most complete, an adult male, likely stood about 1 meter (3 feet, 4 inches) tall, weighed 31 kilograms (68 pounds) and looked similar to modern-day bonobos, a species of chimpanzee.“It was astonishing for us to realize how similar certain bones are to humans, as opposed to great apes,” Boehme said.Thanks to several well-preserved vertebra, limb, finger and toe bones, the scientists were able to reconstruct how Danuvius moved, concluding that while it would have been able to hang from branches by his arms, it could also straighten its legs to walk upright.“This changes our view of early human evolution, which is that it all happened in Africa,” Boehme told The Associated Press in an interview.Like humans, Danuvius had an S-shaped spine to hold its body upright while standing. Unlike humans, though, it had a powerful, opposable big toe that would have allowed it to grab branches with its foot and safely walk through the treetops.Fred Spoor, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, called the fossil finds “fantastic” but said they would likely be the subject of much debate, not least because they could challenge many existing ideas about evolution.“I can see that there will be a lot of agonizing and re-analysis of what these fossils mean,” said Spoor, who wasn’t involved in the study. 2833
