Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, has urged the FBI to release complete information about its newly discovered emails of her private server when she was Secretary of State.

Clinton said at a news conference that American people deserved to have full and complete information about the bureau’s latest review of the emails.

“We are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetime.

“Voting is already underway in our country. So, the American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately.

“The director himself has said he doesn’t know whether the emails referenced in his letter are significant or not.

“I’m confident that whatever they are will not change the conclusion reached in July.

“Therefore, it is imperative that the bureau explain this issue in question, whatever it is, without any delay,” she said.

Clinton said that she had not been contacted by anyone about the new investigation and was unaware what, if any, new evidence had been found.

“Right now, your guess is as good as mine, and I don’t think that’s good enough,” she said.

She said that it was unclear if the email investigation was linked to the criminal probe into the sexting scandal of Anthony Weiner, who recently separated from Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin.

“We’ve heard these rumours and we don’t know what to believe.

“We don’t know the facts, which is why we’re calling on the FBI to release all the information it has,” Clinton said.

She expressed reservation about FBI’s “sending out this kind of letter that is only going originally to Republican members of the house”.

According to her, the bureau needs to share whatever facts they claim to have with the American people and that’s what I expect to happen.

FBI Director, James Comey, had told lawmakers on Friday that the bureau was reviewing new emails related to Hillary Clinton’s personal server.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
