Egypt among the worst in press freedom: reportby AlJazeeraEnglish
North Africa and the Middle East is the region where journalists are most restricted, according to the Reporters Without Borders’ World Press Freedom Index.
The report found that journalists are stifled by leaders trying to maintain stability in Egypt.
Under an anti-terrorism law adopted in Egypt in August 2015, journalists are forced on national security grounds to report only the official version of so-called "terror" attacks.
The most recent incident was three days ago, when two journalists were arrested over their reporting on the Egyptian president.

As US Rotates Generals in Europe, Job Is Prevent New 'Cold War' by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
As he stepped down as America's top commander in Europe on Tuesday, retiring Air Force General Philip Breedlove recalled how he began his career more than three decades ago trying to keep the peace during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. "I think my career is now ending here, trying to prevent a Cold War - and continue to keep the peace," Breedlove said in a farewell address, shortly before he received a final salute from troops at European Command headquarters in Germany. "But I hand that mission over now to you." Breedlove turned over European Command to Army General Curtis Scaparrotti, ending an era during which the straight-talking general helped transform U.S. and NATO planning in Europe after Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. A similar ceremony will take place on Wednesday to pass along Breedlove's other title, NATO supreme allied commander Europe. Backed by a big increase in U.S. military spending, NATO is setting up small eastern outposts, forces on rotation, regular war games and warehoused equipment ready for a rapid response force, all to deter Russia. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged on Tuesday NATO discussions to strengthen the alliance's position on its eastern flank, possibly by sending four battalions to rotate through the Baltic states and Poland. The moves effectively represent NATO's biggest build-up in eastern Europe since the Cold War. The Kremlin denies any intentions to attack the Baltic countries, but it has often said that they have become an aggressive "Russophobic kernel" pushing NATO toward a consistently anti-Russian posture. Tensions between Washington and Moscow have been highlighted by recent encounters between their militaries. Last month, two Russian warplanes flew what U.S. officials described as simulated attack passes near a U.S. guided missile destroyer in the Baltic Sea. Despite those incidents, the United States and Russia still work together diplomatically. Carter noted critical U.S. and Russian collaboration, including to secure a deal last year with Iran over its nuclear program. "That's why we'll keep the door open for Russia. But it's up to the Kremlin to decide," Carter said. "We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia. But make no mistake, we will defend our allies, the rules-based international order, and the positive future it affords us."

NATO alliance getting new supreme commanderby In Homeland Security Staff
The NATO alliance this week is getting a new supreme commander, a former top-ranking U.S. military officer in Korea hailed Tuesday by Defense Secretary Ash Carter as a proven warrior-diplomat and "a soldiers' general."
The Associated Press reported Defense Secretary Ash Carter saying that Russia is “going back in time” with their confrontational attitude and “nuclear saber-rattling.”
“Moscow’s nuclear saber-rattling raises troubling questions about Russia’s leaders’ commitment to strategic stability, their respect for norms against the use of nuclear weapons, and whether they respect the profound caution that nuclear-age leaders showed with regard to brandishing nuclear weapons,” he said.
He said Russia’s “loose talk” about using nuclear weapons is concerning. It shows that there is a “war-like” attitude in their foreign policy.
Carter explained that in the past 25 years the United States has not had to prepare a deterrence for Russia. He further explained the ways the Obama administration is preparing the United States and its allies.
“These include plans to add a third U.S. Army combat brigade in Europe in the coming year as part of a $3.4 billion initiative designed to further reassure allies of the U.S. commitment to their security and to deter Russian aggression.”
Carter cited examples of Russia’s recent hostile actions, which included the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russia’s seeming aggression and intimidation tactics toward the Baltic states. Since the Baltic states are in NATO, the United States has a legal obligation to protect them if Russia acts on this.
“We do not seek to make Russia an enemy. But make no mistake, we will defend our allies, the rules-based international order, and the positive future it affords us,” he said.
Carter expressed his desire to increase relations with Russia. He cited how his career started in the Cold War era trying to keep the peace between Russia and the United States. He said he hoped to continue these relations without Russia’s confrontational approach.
“The United States will continue to hold out the possibility that Russia will assume the role of a constructive partner moving forward, not isolated and going backward in time as it appears to be today,” he said. “Much of the progress we’ve made together since the end of the Cold War, we accomplished with Russia. Let me repeat that. Not in spite of Russia, not against Russia, not without Russia, but with it.”

Trump’s foreign policy speech was his chance to tell the world that he is serious and has an international vision for the United States. How did he do?
Former New York state assembly speaker Sheldon Silver will be sentenced to prison Tuesday for corruption schemes that federal officials said captured $5 million over a span of two decades.
U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni will weigh a recommendation from prosecutors that the 72-year-old Manhattan Democrat be locked up for more than 14 years, Reuters reported.
Former colleagues, constituents, and family members filed letters with Caproni on behalf of Silver,encouraging the judge to take his work with the community into account.
Silver was convicted in November on charges of “honest-services fraud, extortion, and money laundering,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
Prosecutors said the former speaker coaxed real estate developers toward his law firm to net millions in referral fees, in return endorsing rent legislation supporting the company, according to Reuters. Prosecutors also said that Silver gave $500,000 in public funds to an oncologist who sent patients to his firm.
“Silver exploited the vast political power entrusted in him by the public to serve himself,” prosecutors wrote. They added that Silver’s prominence in the New York assembly led a generation of state legislatures to serve “in an institution framed by his corrupt example.”
Federal law requires that judges take into account the defendant’s “history and characteristics” along with the offense when issuing sentences, according to WSJ.
Defense lawyers have pressed for “rigorous community service” under a softer sentence. They have also underscored his prostate cancer diagnosis and recurring knee problems in a plea for leniency.
In an apology letter to Caproni, Silver said he “failed the people of New York.”
“There is no question about it,” he said.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Tuesday that the U.S. Navy SEAL killed earlier in northern Iraq died in combat but was not on a combat mission.
The Pentagon confirmed on Tuesday that Islamic State forces killed a U.S. Navy SEAL by direct fire in Northern Iraq, the third American serviceman to be killed since the beginning of Operation Inherent Resolve.
During the briefing, a White House reporter asked Earnest about the extent of combat for U.S. troops in Iraq.
“I think the public is just trying to understand exactly what our troops are doing there and to what extent we are involved in, combat, war, danger, a high likely of fatalities or this much more benign-sounding train-and-assist posture?” the reporter asked.
“I don’t mean to make it sound benign because it’s not, it’s dangerous. What I am trying to do, though, is trying to be as precise as possible with you and the American public about what exactly our commander-in-chief has asked our service members to do,” Earnest said. “Secretary [Ash] Carter, earlier today has described his death as a combat death. That’s accurate. This is an individual who is not in a combat mission, but he was in a dangerous place and his position came under attack. He was armed, trained, and prepared to defend himself.
“Unfortunately, he was killed. He was killed in combat but that was not a part of his mission. His mission was specifically to offer advice and assistance to those Iraqi forces that were fighting for their own country.”
Earnest has frequently denied that the troops in Iraq are in on combat mission but instead on a ‘train, advise, and assist‘ mission.

ISIS Kills Navy SEAL in Iraqby Sinan Salaheddin and Robert Burns / AP
(BAGHDAD) — An American serviceman killed in Iraq by fire from the Islamic State group has been identified as a Navy SEAL.
A U.S. official says the SEAL was killed during an attack on Iraqi Kurdish positions outside the IS-held city of Mosul on Tuesday morning.
It was the third death of a U.S. service member in Iraq since the U.S.-led coalition launched its campaign against IS militants in the summer of 2014. Defense Secretary Ash Carter called it a “combat death.”
The official identifying the serviceman as a SEAL was speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the incident publicly.
