U.S.-led coalition air strikes reportedly killed dozens of Syrian soldiers on Saturday, endangering a U.S.-Russian brokered ceasefire and prompting an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting as tensions between Moscow and Washington escalated.

The United States military said the coalition stopped the attacks against what it had believed to be Islamic State positions in northeast Syria after Russia informed it that Syrian military personnel and vehicles may have been hit.

The United States relayed its "regret" through the Russian government for what it described as the unintentional loss of life of Syrian forces in the strike, a senior Obama administration official said in an emailed statement...

>Hungarian prosecutors filed charges on Wednesday against a camerawoman accused of kicking and tripping migrants fleeing police near the southern border with Serbia last year.

>Petra Laszlo was fired form her job at N1TV, a television station with nationalist sympathies, after video footage spread online appearing to show her kicking a girl and a young man.

>Her prosecution for disorderly conduct comes as political tensions mount over Europe's migration crisis in the region.

>Hungary is holding a referendum on whether to accept EU migrant quotas on Oct. 2, the same say as the far-right Freedom Party is standing in presidential elections in neighboring Austria.

>Prosecutors described how hundreds of migrants broke through a police cordon and out of a holding area and headed toward Szeged, a nearby city in September last year. Laszlo was directly behind the police officers and filmed migrants as they ran.

>"While filming she kicked a young man in the shin with a swift kick of the sole of her right foot, and also kicked young girl around the knee with her right foot," the prosecutors said in a statement.

>There was no evidence of a racially motivated hate crime, they added.

>Laszlo was not immediately reachable for comment. Last year she told the daily Magyar Nemzet that she felt remorse over what had happened.

>"I am practically in shock from what I did, and what was done to me," Laszlo said. "I am not heartless (or) racist... I am a woman, a mother of small children, who has since lost her job, and who made a bad decision in panic."

>Prosecutors said she had not kicked a man carrying a small child, one of the accusations she had faced during last year's online furor.

>The man, a soccer coach named Osama Abdul Mohsen, went on to Spain where a sports school offered to find him work.

>Twitter Inc. may be contemplating a future in the hands of an acquirer after a yearslong effort to sharpen its focus and ignite user growth has fallen short.

>Salesforce.com Inc. is considering a takeover of the social media company, according to people familiar with the matter. The exploration is in early stages, one of the people said, and might not lead to a deal.

>Shares of Twitter rose 21% to $22.62 on Friday after CNBC reported talks of a possible sale. Before Friday, the stock had fallen 30% over the past year and its market value was about $13 billion. Its all-time high of $40.7 billion came in December 2013.

>Salesforce Chief Executive Marc Benioff has been a voracious acquirer, and the company has indicated an interest in challenging its business-software competitors by devouring startups in such areas as e-commerce and artificial intelligence.

>The sales talks shift the conversation around Twitter from constant business turmoil to the strategic and financial value it could bring to any number of Silicon Valley giants.

>Twitter is approaching the three-year anniversary of its flashy IPO, when its stock shot up 73% as investors crowned the company a social media star rivaling Alphabet Inc. ’s Google and Facebook Inc. for advertising dollars. Twitter had become a household name, building a powerful communication tool that gives voice to ordinary citizens and celebrities alike.

>Since that debut, a series of management upheavals, product delays and muddled business strategies have complicated Twitter’s effort to capture the world’s mobile users and wring revenue out of them.

Not really breaking news, but I have some questions about the economy. The economy is a big topic right now because of the election going on, so I'm trying to educate myself so I can understand the news better.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/07/25/donald-trump-trade-policies-china-mexico/87521852/

I'm having a hard time understanding money and the strength of economies.
What does it mean when the American Dollar is worth only 0.77 british pounds, and 0.89 Euros?
Is that a signal that the Western European economies are "stronger" or "better" in some way? If the british pound and euro are worth more than the american dollar, does that mean british people work harder to get 1 british pound than americans do to get 1 american dollar?

Is Trump right when he says the american economy is bad and he will make it "tremendous" again?

> Fleury, the so-called Miss Météo on the popular Grand Journal show on Canal Plus, said sorry to Hill after she had poked fun at him during last Friday’s show.

>She had mocked the actor for being sodomised by a three-metre tall demon in one of his films and then suggested her fantasy would be for him to invite his friends Leonardo di Caprio and Brad Pitt round to their hotel room, but then for him to leave.

>The actor decided to cancel all his publicity interviews following the exchange on live TV.

>On Monday Fleury gave her Mea Culpa.

>Speaking directly to him on camera she said: “Jonah, the problem is that for 10 years I have lived with you through your films. In fact Jonah, I really had the impression that I knew you so last Friday I thought I was just messing around with a friend, but the reality is that we are not friends.

>“No the reality is that you two have two Oscar nominations and I have two videos on my YouTube account. You have made films with Scorese and Tarantino and me, I have made an advert for Spontex (a company that specializes in making cleaning products)."

>There was no word out of Hill's camp whether the wounded actor had accepted her apology.

>Ahmad Khan Rahami, was born on Jan. 23, 1988, in Afghanistan, & moved to the US in 1998.
>In 2008, Mohammad Rahami and two of his sons claimed baseless citations were issued against them, spawned by complaints filed by residents who disliked Muslims.
>At first, their "First American Fried Chicken" restaurant was open 24 hours a day and became a local nuisance, said, the mayor. Rowdy crowds appeared after midnight.
>The mayor said: “It was neighbor complaints; it had nothing to do with his ethnicity or religion. It had to do with noise and people congregating on the streets.”
>Often Mr. McDermott discovered patrons loitering in his yard and urinating in his driveway.
>But the Rahamis flouted the order. Mr. McDermott said that once when officers responded, one of Mr. Rahami’s older brothers got into a fight with a police officer and was arrested. Before the case was resolved, Mr. McDermott said the brother fled to Afghanistan.
>Mr. Jones, said the Rahamis would let him and his friends host rap battles in the back of the restaurant.
Mr. Jones said. “He got serious and completely closed off.” After Mr. Rahami returned from Afghanistan in about 2012. When he returned, some patrons noticed a certain transformation. He grew a beard and exchanged his typical wardrobe of T-shirts and sweatpants for traditional Muslim robes.
>His previous genial bearing turned more stern.
>Mr. McDermott said a fragile truce was reached, whereby the restaurant would close at midnight or 1 a.m.
