âWe expect Bernie will be discharged and on a plane back to Burlington before the end of the weekend. He‘ll take a few days to rest, but he‘s ready to get back out there and is looking forward to the October debate.â

(2011)
The ïŹrst discovery of methane on Mars was announced in 1969 at a press conference by the Mariner 7 Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) team just two days after the ïŹyby.
Cassini Tastes Organic Material at Saturn‘s Geyser Moon
(26.03.2008)
The Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer saw a much higher density of volatile gases, water vapor, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, as well as organic materials, some 20 times denser than expected. This dramatic increase in density was evident as the spacecraft flew over the area of the plumes.
Low-mass nitrogen-, oxygen-bearing, and aromatic compounds in Enceladean ice grains
Previous analyses inferred three different spectral types of Enceladean ice grains (Postberg et al. 2008, 2009a): Type 1 represents grains of almost pure water ice, Type 2 shows features consistent with grains containing significant amounts of organic material, and Type 3 is indicative of salt-rich water ice grains.
Organic compounds have been found on Saturn‘s moon Enceladus
Before NASA‘s Cassini mission studied Saturn and its moons for 13 years, beginning in 2004, Enceladus held many secrets. Cassini revealed that there was a global ocean between the moon‘s icy crust and its rocky core.
Although the Cassini mission ended in a blaze of glory when it disintegrated in Saturn‘s atmosphere, surprises from the data it collected will be released for years to come.

Ahead of pilgrimage, Iran border crossing closed due to Iraq unrest
A senior Iranian pilgrimage official told state television that the Khosravi border crossing was closed, but other crossings were open ahead of the pilgrimage in the southern Iraqi city of Kerbala.
Thanks for all the well wishes. I‘m feeling good. I‘m fortunate to have good health care and great doctors and nurses helping me to recover.
None of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. And no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs. Medicare for All!
Did Bernie Sanders Have a Heart Attack?
Based on the information his campaign has released, this scenario seems to be what happened to Bernie Sanders on Tuesday evening. Without a close look at Sandersâ medical chart, itâs impossible to make a definitive diagnosis, and I have not reviewed the details of his case other than what has been reported to the media by his campaign. But even the scant information we haveâthat he had stents inserted overnight following an acute cardiac episodeâis enough to be able to say: This was very likely a heart attack.
Tucker: Left wanted to impeach Trump before he was even elected
Oct. 02, 2019 – 3:49 – Nancy Pelosi claims she never considered impeachment until whistleblower complaint.
Schiff Got Early Account of Accusations as Whistle-Blowerâs Concerns Grew
Mr. Trump, who has focused his ire on Mr. Schiff amid the burgeoning Ukraine scandal, wasted no time in trying to use the revelation about the whistle-blowerâs attempt to alert Congress to try to denigrate his complaint. In a news conference in the East Room of the White House after this article was published, Mr. Trump called it a scandal that Mr. Schiff knew the outlines of the whistle-blowerâs accusations before he filed his complaint.
Whistleblower spoke to Schiff aides before filing complaint
The revelation that Democrats had spoken to the whistleblower, whose identity is not publicly known, added a new detail to the sequence of events surrounding the complaint. It could explain why Schiff quickly sounded alarm when the acting director of national intelligence withheld the complaint from Congress last month.
‚We‘re not fooling around‘: Pelosi and Schiff stand firm as Trump fumes
Elijah Cummings, the chair of the House oversight committee, revealed that it would issue a subpoena to the White House if it failed to hand over documents on contacts with Ukraine by Friday.
âI do not take this step lightly,â Cummings said, saying the White House had stonewalled on demands for cooperation for several weeks.
The âdeep state,â Trumpâs go-to enemy, fights back
President Trump has spent nearly three years trying to bend the vast federal bureaucracy to his whims and demands, pushing out dissenters at the top levels while molding a Cabinet that caters to his obsessions as well as his political agenda.
The whistleblower complaint that helped launch the impeachment storm engulfing Washington is the starkest example yet that Trump has not prevailed.
At least some of the civil servants who make government work â law enforcement officials, intelligence operatives and others he derisively calls the âdeep stateâ â are fighting back.

Breitscheidplatz-Anschlag: BND besitzt bislang unbekanntes Amri-Video
Das Drohvideo soll dem BND von einem auslĂ€ndischen Geheimdienst ĂŒbermittelt worden sein. Um welchen Dienst es sich handelt und wann dieser an die Aufnahme gelangte, dazu wollte sich der BND nicht Ă€uĂern. „Wir möchten darauf hinweisen, dass sich der Bundesnachrichtendienst zu operativen Aspekten seiner Arbeit und etwaigen Erkenntnissen grundsĂ€tzlich nur gegenĂŒber der Bundesregierung und den zustĂ€ndigen geheim tagenden Gremien des Deutschen Bundestages Ă€uĂert“, so eine Sprecherin der Behörde.
Kolumbien: PrÀsident Duque blamiert sich bei UNO mit Bilder-Fake gegen Venezuela
Die Fotos sind demnach nicht in Venezuela sondern in Kolumbien aufgenommen worden, stellten die kolumbianische Zeitung El Colombiano und die Agence France-Press (AFP) richtig. Die Bilder sind Teil eines Dossiers, das Duque UN-GeneralsekretĂ€r AntĂłnio Guterres ĂŒberreicht hat. Das 128-seitige Dokument belege, so Duque, „die Komplizenschaft von [Venezuelas] PrĂ€sident NicolĂĄs Maduro mit den Terror-Kartellen, die die kolumbianische Bevölkerung angreifen“.
OAS General Secretariat statement on the situation in Peru
The GS/OAS also considers it desirable for the parties to make gestures that favor calm in the face of the crisis. It is essential that the public is not exposed to violence in a context of conflict and political fragility seen in recent months through different points of possible escalation of sectoral conflicts that, although they are outside the current crisis, could further complicate the situation.
How Venezuela defeated Washingtonâs coup attempt at the United Nations
Since January, the US has pressured countries to revoke Venezuelaâs status at the United Nations, converting the international body into a battleground for the countryâs sovereignty.
â[Nicolas] Maduro is and will remain the legitimate president of Venezuela, by the peopleâs sacred right to self-determination,â RodrĂguez announced before the General Assembly moments after her arrival.
As RodrĂguez took the floor, a modestly sized group of representatives from US-allied countries walked out of the hall, in a display of opposition to her presence. The walk-out recalled scenes from diplomatic meetings from Vienna to Geneva in the months following Washingtonâs move to recognize GuaidĂł as Venezuelaâs president in January.
Diplomats walk out in protest as Venezuela attempts to fill UN General Assembly with supporters
(30.09.2019)
In a week when President Trump and his administration placed the spotlight on the humanitarian crisis brought on by Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, a number of diplomats led by the U.S. walked out Friday during a speech by Maduro‘s vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez.
The walkout came as a note from the Venezuelan mission claimed the United States and partners were planning a vote at the General Assembly to prevent the representative of the Caracas regime from speaking.
Following Grayzone exposé, top Venezuelan coup official Ricardo Hausmann is forced to resign
(27.09.2019)
Hours before an expected vote at the United Nations General Assembly on the legitimacy of Venezuelaâs Maduro-led government amidst a US-led coup, a senior official of Juan GuaidĂłâs coup regime was forced to resign from his position.
Economist Ricardo Hausmann stepped down from his post at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) following an exposĂ© by The Grayzoneâs Anya Parampil of his conflicts of interest and opaque financial practices.

Brexit-Verhandlungen – Juncker sieht „positive Fortschritte“
Der von BrĂŒssel geforderte Schutz des EuropĂ€ischen Binnenmarkts vor Produkten, die nicht den EU-Standards entsprechen, lĂ€ge in der Hand des nordirischen Regionalparlaments.
Die Volksvertreter dĂŒrften kĂŒnftig alle vier Jahre darĂŒber entscheiden, ob sich der britische Landesteil an europĂ€ischen oder an britischen Standards orientiert. Nach dem Willen Londons soll sich die EuropĂ€ische Union gleichzeitig verpflichten, in keinem Fall Kontrollen an der Grenze durchzufĂŒhren.
Boris Johnson says no to customs union and yes to single market for Northern Ireland, writes Robert Peston
Boris Johnson‘s new Brexit offer to the EU comprehensively rips up the backstop agreed by Theresa May – but it contains one proposal that may upset some Brexiter purists, namely that Northern Ireland should more-or-less remain in the single market for goods, food and agricultural products, subject to rules set by Brussels.
