A Palestinian man drives a donkey cart on an empty main road in Gaza City on Friday, July 11, 2014. It’s the holy month of Ramadan, and throughout the Muslim world people are socializing with friends and family, buying presents for loved ones and breaking a day long fast amid colorful night time street scenes that inject even more vigor into already busy urban centers. But not in Gaza City, one of the world’s most densely populated cities. A ceaseless Israeli bombing campaign, with airstrikes every five minutes, has turned the frenetic hub of the Gaza Strip into a virtual ghost town, emptying streets, closing shops and keeping hundreds of thousands of people close to home where they feel safest from the bombs.

US government infectious disease labs mishandled dangerous pathogens five times in the last decade, according to a health agency report.

This year alone, workers mishandled samples of anthrax and the highly-infectious H5N1 avian flu.

In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has closed the two labs involved.

The agency has also temporarily barred high-security labs from transporting dangerous pathogens.

There have been no reported infections from previous cases, and no-one potentially exposed to anthrax has shown signs of illness, CDC officials said.

Relations between Berlin and Washington have been dealt a blow after the top CIA officer in Germany was ordered out of the country. The strong reaction came after two high-ranking German officials were unmasked as alleged US spies. Anger over the snooping is widespread. The German Interior Minister dismissed the information obtained by the alleged spies as \'laughable\', but said the political damage is serious. And a Left Party member expressed outrage, saying blind trust in the US has taken a knock back. RT\'s Peter Oliver reports from Berlin.

In a dramatic display of worsening U.S.-German relations... the German government has ordered the CIA's Berlin station *chief to leave the country. The move comes as Berlin discovered a suspected U.S. spy in its own Defense Ministry... days after a German foreign intelligence worker was detained on suspicions he too was a CIA informant. In her most pointed words on the issue yet, Chancellor Angela Merkel said, "Spying on allies... is a waste of energy in the end," adding there are many important problems on which attention should be focused. The chancellor is among Germans whose cell phones are believed to have been tracked by U.S. agents.

This report looks at one recent campaign video, designed to disseminate their radical manifesto. "These are your passports, O Tyrants all over the world", one anonymous jihadist declares to a baying crowd as he spears a pile of the documents with a machete. Within the organisation's mission to establish a unitary caliphate across the region, such credentials are obsolete: mere vestiges of a by-gone age of national boundaries and rival political identities. "I swear by Allah, we will cleanse the Arabian peninsula of you, you defiled ones." Films such as this, depicting the brutal imposition of a supposedly utopian Islamic supra-state - often by means of summary executions and banning opposing sects from public life - are a sign of the increasing sophistication of ISIS' propaganda strategy. They depict well-armed, organised militants, and are cause for concern for Iraqi ex-pats struggling to reach relatives back home. "ISIS have forgotten the real religion, and now they are full of hate and revenge", says Salahaddin al-Beati, who has lived in Switzerland since 1996. With voices from all sides of the conflict, this report offers a chilling insight into a markedly 21st century insurgency.

Disease labs made dangerous pathogen transport errors In The United States.
Disease labs made dangerous pathogen transport errors In The United States.
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:19
  • Updated: 11 Jul 2014
US government infectious disease labs mishandled dangerous pathogens five times in the last decade, according to a health agency report. This year alone, workers mishandled samples of anthrax and the highly-infectious H5N1 avian flu. In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has closed the two labs involved. The agency has also temporarily barred high-security labs from transporting dangerous pathogens. There have been no reported infections from previous cases, and no-one potentially exposed to anthrax has shown signs of illness, CDC officials said. "These events should never have happened," CDC Director Tom Frieden told reporters on Friday. "I'm disappointed, and frankly I'm angry about it," he said, adding later he was "astonished that this could have happened here". The incidents were listed in a report on a potential anthrax exposure in June, which occurred when researchers in a high-level biosecurity laboratory failed to follow proper procedures and did not deactivate the bacteria. The samples were then moved to a lower-security lab in the agency's Atlanta campus. "This is not the first time an event of this nature has occurred at CDC, nor the first time it occurred from the [bioterror response] laboratory," the report said. The CDC only recently learned of a separate incident in May in which a sample of the avian flu was cross-contaminated with a highly pathogenic version of the virus and then shipped to an agriculture department laboratory. The influenza lab and the bioterror response laboratory have been temporarily closed in response. The other incidents reported by the CDC: In 2006, the CDC's bioterror lab transferred anthrax DNA to outside labs, believing the sample had been deactivated Also in 2006, samples from a different CDC lab were found to contain live botulism bacteria Researchers sent an infectious strain of the bacterium Brucella to outside laboratories as early as 2001 because they mistook it for a vaccine version. Newly available test methods in 2009 confirmed it was not.
