USA - Airline pilots on at least two US-flown Boeing 737 Max 8 planes had reported that the automated system caused the aircraft's nose to tilt down sharply and suddenly after take-off. The pilots said they were able to recover quickly following the aggressive dive - descending as fast as 1,500 feet per minute - by disconnecting the autopilot. However, the tilting problem did not appear related to the new automatic anti-stall system that's suspected of contributing to the deadly Indonesia crash on that aircraft model in October. The pilot reports were filed last year in a database compiled by NASA. They are voluntary safety reports and do not publicly reveal the names of pilots, the airlines or the location of the incidents. The Boeing Max 8 jet is now at the center of a growing global ban after more than 40 countries grounded the model following the second fatal crash in five months.

UK - Theresa May signalled she could hold a third vote on her Brexit deal tonight as the only way to get Britain out of the EU withing weeks. A new vote could be held as soon as next week following tonight's fresh humiliation in the Commons where Remain MPs hijacked the PM's plan to end the immediate risk of No Deal on March 29.

EUROPE - Donald Tusk today revealed he will urge EU leaders to agree a 'long extension' to Article 50 - delaying Brexit by up to two years to give the UK time to 'rethink' - if Theresa May's deal is voted down a third time next week. The President of the European Council's intervention on Twitter this morning will bolster claims that the UK would not leave the EU until 2021 unless Mrs May can persuade the DUP and Brexiteers to back her divorce deal - because some in the EU want to play 'hardball' and push for a delay of two years.  The PM's deal will be put to another vote next week, just 15 days before the country is due to leave the EU on 29 March, after MPs including a 'gang of four' rebellious Cabinet members helped to vote to permanently rule out No Deal Brexit. May told the Commons that if she loses a third time she will forced to ask Brussels for a long delay to Britain's departure from the EU at a summit on Thursday. 

UK - Speaking the morning after Britain’s Parliament voted to reject the Brexit deal Theresa May and the European Union had spent nearly two years crafting, Nigel Farage told the European Parliament that they had pushed their luck too far and the only route left was for a full Brexit to take place later this month as planned. Voting against May’s Brexit ‘deal’ has set a chain of events in motion at Westminster which will almost inevitably see the British Prime Minister travel to Brussels next week to beg for a time extension to the negotiation period, cancelling the legal Brexit date of March 29th 2019.

USA - In 2016, Jamie Shupe, a biological male, made international headlines after an Oregon judge granted him legal status as a "nonbinary" person, legally shedding gender designations that he felt oppressed his true identity as a woman. He had become the first American granted this legal status. Just three years later, Shupe has renounced his former life, which he now characterizes as a "sham."

USA - Financial incumbents and politicians love to invade normal people’s everyday activities and they’d love to know how our funds are being spent right down to the last penny. At the same time, the banking system that they regulate is used to wash trillions each and every year using schemes like shell companies, bogus supply chain invoices, smurfing, and ‘mirror’ trades to hide funds that stem from illegal acts. In the last decade, few notable bankers or financiers have been jailed for financial crimes and money laundering save for Bernie Madoff. Many believe Madoff was only incarcerated because he stole from the banking cartel and shed light on their shady activities.

USA - Bill de Blasio, the Communist Mayor of New York took a page out of Kim Jong Un’s playbook and announced “Meatless Mondays” will be implemented in public schools across NYC beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. Bill de Blasio, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Communists in the Democrat party are now trying to control how much meat Americans eat. The government believes that vegetarian meals, which are deficient in many vitamins and minerals only found in meat and poultry, are “healthier” for Americans, so that’s what will be served to the kids on Mondays. “Cutting back on meat a little will improve New Yorkers’ health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” De Blasio said. “We’re expanding Meatless Mondays to all public schools to keep our lunch and planet green for generations to come.”

USA - Should you pick your nose? Don’t laugh. Scientifically, it’s an interesting question. Should your children pick their noses? Should your children eat dirt? Maybe: Your body needs to know what immune challenges lurk in the immediate environment. Should you use antibacterial soap or hand sanitizers? No. Are we taking too many antibiotics? Yes.

USA - Experts warn that Apple’s AirPods could send an electromagnetic field through your brain - as 250 scientists sign petition to regulate trendy tech. Tiny wireless Bluetooth headphones fit into the ear canal. 250 scientists from over 40 countries have signed a petition to the WHO and UN to warn against radiowave radiation from wireless technologies: The close proximity of AirPods to the brain and inner ear may raise cancer risks. Little research exists on Bluetooth and its health effects but it also uses radiowave radiation. Plus, AirPods talk to one another using a magnetic field that passes through the brain. An expert says there is little research on this but 'can't imagine it's all that great for you' .

USA - Boeing has recommended the entire global fleet of 737 Max 8 planes be grounded after Trump banned the aircraft from US airspace. Sunday's deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash killed all 157 people on board. Speaking at the White House, President Trump said the US is issuing an emergency order to ground all 737 Max 8 and the 737 Max 9, and planes associated with that line.  Mr Trump said pilots and airlines had been “notified” and said Boeing and the FSS were “in agreement with the action”. Many countries, including the UK, have suspended the plane after Sunday’s crash.

VATICAN - As being the continuation of “true Israel,” the Catholic Church was also structured in a hierarchal fashion. This structure was practical for the purpose of maintaining basic order in worship, as Israel had been practicing from the beginning. This structure was particular in that Jesus gave His apostles (especially the Twelve) similar authority as He had in order to govern His Church and safeguard the continuation of divinely sanctioned teaching. Accordingly, the apostles delegated and distributed this authority to others as the Church expanded and was confronted by a plethora of social and theological challenges. This authority — and great responsibility — was necessary in order to serve the faithful and to carry out Jesus’s teachings until His return. The office of bishop was considered the highest authority — equivalent to that of the apostles and, hence, Jesus Himself.

UK - PM promises MPs free vote on no-deal Brexit on Wednesday after second drubbing. Theresa May has suffered a second humiliating defeat on her Brexit deal, as MPs voted it down by a crushing majority of 149, dealing a fresh blow to her shattered authority. With just 17 days to go until the UK is due to leave the EU, backbenchers from both sides of the Brexit divide immediately began manoeuvring to take control of the next steps of the process, in a series of key votes in the coming days. Moments after the crushing defeat, Donald Tusk, president of the European council, warned that he expected a “credible” reason for any delay to Brexit.

GERMANY - The global order that underpins German prosperity is unraveling. And Angela Merkel doesn’t know what to do about it. President Donald Trump’s America First policy is forcing Germany to make an impossible choice between the US and China — pitting the force behind the country’s modern economic success against the key to its future growth. The result is political paralysis at a time when Germany’s allies are looking for political leadership.

GERMANY - Ambassador Richard Grenell wrote a letter to Germany's economics minister urging Berlin to not allow Huawei or other third parties from China to provide 5G infrastructure to the country, according to The Wall Street Journal. Berlin should bar Huawei or other Chinese vendors from constructing Germany's 5G network or risk losing access to US intelligence, according to a letter from US Ambassador Richard Grenell to the country's economics minister, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The two countries have been carefully rebuilding their intelligence sharing relationship since 2013 and 2014, when the US and Germany were at odds over two spying scandals stemming from the revelations by Edward Snowden of NSA snooping. Last month, German officials said they "weren't ready" to ban Huawei equipment and were unsure of the legality of such a request, according to a statement from the German Interior Ministry.

VENEZUELA - Concerns over the Trump administration's increasingly hostile policy in Venezuela grew Tuesday after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the US was withdrawing all diplomatic personnel from the country. Meanwhile, Guaidó told Fox News on Monday that he plans to invoke Venezuela's constitutional Article 187, which he claimed "allows for an outside country to cooperate or to assist Venezuela in this sense." "As we've stated in this article of our Constitution, which empowers me, as the person in charge, to employ whatever measures are necessary to enact this cooperation and this assistance for Venezuela," Guaidó told Fox anchor Trish Regan. Both Guaido's escalated rhetoric and Pompeo's move came days before a planned rally outside the White House, where thousands of Americans are expected to protest a potential military invasion and regime change in Venezuela.
