In a stunning about-turn the president of the Philippines has announced his country will abandon its longstanding ally the United States and embrace China instead. During his time in office Barack Obama has made much of swinging US foreign policy towards Asia but during a visit to Beijing Rodrigo Duterte denounced America without reservation. “America has lost me. I’ve realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world – China, Philippines and Russia. It’s the only way,” Duterte told Chinese and Philippine business people, to applause, at a forum in the Great Hall of the People attended by Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli. “Both in military, not maybe social, but economics also. America has lost.” His visit to China along with 200 businesspeople is expected to be worth 13.5 billion dollars in trade deals. Duterte’s efforts to engage China, months after a tribunal in the Hague ruled that Beijing did not have historic rights to the South China Sea in a case brought by the previous administration in Manila, marks a reversal in foreign policy since the 71-year-old former mayor took office on June 30. Philippines’ Duterte not planning to raise South China Sea disputes in China visit https://t.co/focWavJK6g 🔓— Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) October 20, 2016 The Obama administration has seen Manila as an important ally in its “rebalance” of resources to Asia in the face of a rising China. The administration agreed a deal with Duterte’s predecessor granting U.S. forces rotational access to bases in the Philippines and further doubts will be raised about the future of this arrangement. In Washington, the U.S. State Department said it was “baffled” by Duterte’s comments and would seek an explanation when Daniel Russel, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, visits Manila this weekend. Both the State Department and the White House portrayed Duterte’s comments as being at odds with the close, long-standing alliance between the two countries. They said Washington would welcome closer ties between Beijing and Manila, however. “The U.S.-Philippine alliance is built on a 70-year history, rich people to people ties and a long list of shared security concerns,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters. .statedeptspox Kirby on recent comments from President Duterte of the #Philippines https://t.co/p73ZhcnLZQ— Department of State (StateDept) October 20, 2016 A few hours after Duterte’s speech, his top economic policymakers released a statement saying that, while Asian economic integration was “long overdue”, that did not mean the Philippines was turning its back on the West.

The actor Robert Vaughn, best known for playing the suave Napoleon Solo in 1960s television spy series, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E,” and the last surviving actor from the original “Magnificent Seven” movie, died on Friday from leukemia. Vaughn’s manager Matthew Sullivan said the 83-year-old actor died in hospital surrounded by his wife Linda Staab and two children, Cassidy and Caitlin. He had been receiving treatment for acute leukemia, Sullivan said.

The 1964-68 series gave way to a number of spinoff movies including “One Spy Too Many” and “One of Our Spies is Missing” that also starred the two actors. Film career Vaughn appeared in more than 200 movies and TV shows over his 60-year career, including the 1960 movie “The Magnificent Seven”, alongside Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. He was the last survivor of the movie’s original seven lead actors. Other movies included “Bullitt” in 1968, again with McQueen, and “The Young Philadelphians” in 1959, for which he received a supporting actor Oscar nomination. Television career On television, Vaughn appeared in numerous shows, including “The A-Team,” a 1998 TV version of “The Magnificent Seven,” and, in 2012, as a character in the long-running British soap opera, “Coronation Street.” Steve McQueen, 1980 Yul Brynner, 1985 James Coburn, 2002 Brad Dexter, 2002 Horst Buchholz, 2003 Charles Bronson, 2003 Robert Vaughn, 2016 pic.twitter.com/A7OaPeggYQ— The Pixel Factor (@ThePixelFactor) 11 novembre 2016 Tributes Sorry to hear the news about Robert Vaughn.— Sir Roger Moore (@sirrogermoore) November 11, 2016 Former British James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore was among those mourning his passing, tweeting “Sorry to hear the news about Robert Vaughn.” Oh no.

Donald Trump’s first news conference in six months has been described as a ‘trainwreck,’ ‘jaw-dropping,’ ‘lame’ and ‘strange.’ Trump ‘fake news’ conference is as real as pro wrestling https://t.co/B2SrgJv4An pic.twitter.com/DA8rrGdm4x— JDCrowe2 (@Crowetoons) January 12, 2017 Trump vowed jobs, but then: “There’s a great spirit going on right, a spirit that many people told me they’ve never seen before. Ever. We’re going to create jobs. I’ve said that I will be the greatest jobs producer that God aver created and I mean that.” All our fact checks of Donald Trump’s news conference https://t.co/K78LqLmT86 pic.twitter.com/RNcoYrywWW— The New York Times (@nytimes) January 11, 2017 He has still to convince the Office of Government Ethics that his decision to let his two sons run his global empire frees him from a conflict of interest:’‘I could actually run my business, I could run my business and run the government at the same time, I don’t like the way that looks, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to, I would be the only one that would be able to do that. What I’m going to be doing is my two sons who are right here, Don and Eric, are going to be running the company.” He reiterated his campaign pledge to build a wall along the US/Mexico border and get the Mexicans to pay for it:“We’re going to build a wall. I don’t feel like waiting a year or a year and a half. We’re going to start building. Mexico in some form and there are many different forms will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of the wall.” The Trump relationship with Russia, imparticular President Vladimir Putin, is now massively under the microscope:“If Putin likes Donald Trump, guess what folks? That’s called an asset, not a liability. Now, I don’t know that I’m going to get along with Vladimir Putin. I hope I do. But there’s a good chance I won’t. And if I don’t, do you honestly believe that Hillary would be tougher on Putin than me? Does anybody in this room really believe that? Give me a break.” The ‘dirty dossier’ on Trump allegedly held by the Russians was given short shrift: “I think it’s a disgrace that information would be let out. I saw the information, I read the information, outside of that meeting. It’s all fake news. It’s phony stuff. It didn’t happen. It was a group of opponents who got together, sick people, and they put that crap together.” Trump’s dislike of journalists has already be made plain. In December 2915 he said “I hate some of these people, I hate ‘em,” adding “I would never kill them. I would never do that.” Donald Trump actually just ended his news conference by saying “You’re Fired” https://t.co/VXiEBLBv1X pic.twitter.com/VtjUsRamkC— Huffington Post (@HuffingtonPost) January 11, 2017 The die is cast, interesting times ahead for White House news corps.

Italy: hotel rescuers find no sign of life after avalanche

Impossible to reach by car, emergency workers have been trying to access the Hotel Rigopiano by alternative methods. Some 35 rescuers together with dogs were flown in by helicopter on Thursday morning to join Alpine police teams who had skied in overnight. The skiers only managed to arrive at 4.30 a.m. after making it through a blizzard. Italian media said three bodies had been retrieved from the site, though rescue workers declined to comment on the reports. They did say they had yet to find any sign of life. Horror stories have been emerging about what happened as a huge avalanche swallowed up the four-star hotel in the Gran Sasso mountain range. It came after several strong earthquakes struck the Abruzzo region of central Italy. Quintino Marcella described to Italian media how his friend, Giampiero Parete, had phoned him in a panic. “Last night at 5.45 pm, he calls me, he says: ‘Listen, help, help! Call everyone because the situation is serious, and the hotel is no longer there.” His friend had come outside to fetch something from his car. It saved his life. As the avalanche struck he managed to free himself and took refuge in his car. But his wife and children remain unaccounted for, presumed to be buried inside the building. Italian media said he had been on holiday with his family. Tullio Spina, Director of the Reanimation Service at Pescara Hospital where the survivor is being treated, said: “The patient is doing well, he has hypothermia, we are caring for him, we’ve carried out tests, he is awake, conscious, we’ve already ‘warmed him up’, for the patient the prognosis is good.” Before and after photos of the #HotelRigopiano in #Abruzzo, torn from its foundations and decimated by a massive avalanche today. #Farindola pic.twitter.com/uGKoSvXsAN— Eric J. Lyman (@EricJLyman) January 19, 2017 Snow drifts of up to five metres mean progress is slow for the snow ploughs on the mountain roads. It’s now over 24 hours since the avalanche engulfed the hotel. Antonio Crocetta, a member of the Alpine Rescue squad who was on the scene, said they had been digging and looking for people. “The hotel is almost completely destroyed. We’ve called out but we’ve heard no replies, no voices,” he told Reuters. Let us pray for the poor people killed or lost in the avalanche in Italy. May Mary our Mother pray for God’s blessing on the rescue workers.— Bishop Philip Egan (@BishopEgan) January 19, 2017 Less
