WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) has been awarded a U.S. Air Force contract worth up to $2.9 billion for three missile warning satellites, the Air Force said on Tuesday. “As we develop these new systems, speed matters,” Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson told the Air Force’s internal news service. A sign at the new Lockheed Martin Manufacturing Centre of Excellence is seen at the company's headquarters in Ampthill near Bedford, Britain June 9, 2016.

(Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Tuesday revived a lawsuit by border policy activists challenging the constitutionality of a U.S. government policy requiring advance permission to take photos or shoot film at ports of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border. The decision said Ramirez had taken about 10 photos of male border officials inspecting and patting down female travelers, before his camera was confiscated and the photos deleted. It faulted the judge for deciding in a “conclusory fashion” that the case should be dismissed because of the government’s “extremely compelling interest” in border security and general interest in protecting U.S. territorial sovereignty.

The Globe’s effort to rally editorial writers across the country came in reaction to the president’s stepped-up attacks on the media. As of Tuesday, more than 200 newspapers, including The New York Times, had signed on. Marjorie Pritchard, the deputy managing editor of The Boston Globe, reached out to editorial boards at other newspapers last week. The call to arms came in the form of a memo. “We propose to publish an editorial on August 16 on the dangers of the administration’s assault on the press and ask others to commit to publishing their own editorials on the same date,” the memo said.

DENVER (Reuters) - Nine people were injured, one critically, on Tuesday when a natural gas explosion leveled a Denver apartment building, a fire department spokesman said. People watch as emergency personnel work at a site where a natural gas explosion leveled an apartment building in Denver, Colorado, August 14, 2018, in this picture obtained from social media. Fire crews were working with Xcel Energy Inc (XEL.O), the Denver utility that supplied the building, to ensure all gas was eliminated from the area, Pixley said.

The fire department posted pictures of the apartment building on Twitter showing its roof collapsed in the explosion, which sent wooden beams and other rubble cascading across the sidewalk.

“It was child sexual abuse, including rape, committed by grown men - priests - against children,” Shapiro told a press conference. The attorney general said that Catholic bishops covered up child sexual abuse by priests and reassigned them repeatedly to different parishes. Representatives of the six Pennsylvania dioceses included in the report could not be reached for comment. It was largely based on documents from secret archives kept by the dioceses, including handwritten confessions by priests, he said. An 884-page report made public by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro after a two-year investigation contained graphic examples of children being groomed and sexually abused by clergymen.

“We, the members of this grand jury, need you to hear this,” begins the nearly 900-page report released Tuesday by a grand jury that spent two years investigating reports of sexual abuse in six Pennsylvania dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church over a period of 70 years. ‘Some Stood Out’The grand jury members documented a wide variety of abuses by priests and others within the church, as well as creative ways of covering up or denying accusations. The report, which says there were more than 1,000 identifiable victims and perhaps thousands more, is the broadest examination yet by a government agency in the United States of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. “Even of those odious stories, some stood out,” the report reads. Here are excerpts.

Manafort’s lawyers then sought to have all the charges dismissed, in part arguing the prosecution had not proven he willingly committed crimes. Manafort lawyer Kevin Downing said Manafort’s legal team chose not to mount a defense because U.S. prosecutors had not met the legal bar needed to prove their case. The defense attorneys’ decision means that the closely watched case is expected to go to the 12-person jury late Wednesday, after prosecutors and Manafort’s lawyers make their closing arguments and instructions are issued to the jury. “They are all jury issues,” Ellis said on Tuesday, explaining that he believed it should be up to the jury to decide. With the jurors sent home, Ellis met with the lawyers in open court to decide on jury instructions.

As a young boy, Mr. McGuire recalled using his grandmother’s address to attend a better school outside his neighborhood.

On the Supreme Court bench, three of the five justices were elected as Democrats. Members of the court are elected to 12-year terms. Mr. Ketchum was a Democrat, and his seat will be filled after an election in November. But the prospect of a mass judicial impeachment struck opponents as a partisan power grab by Republicans who control the governor’s office and both houses of the State Legislature. [Read more about the impeachment vote from late Monday night]Hours after the impeachment proceedings, Justice Robin Davis, who sat on the court for 21 years, announced at a brief news conference in the Supreme Court chamber that she had retired to free up her seat so that someone could run for it in November.

McCaskill’s legislation would enshrine recommendations made by federal regulators after another duck boat sank in Arkansas in 1999, killing 13 people. INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana woman whose husband and three children died when a duck boat sank last month in Missouri said Tuesday she hopes to save lives by backing an effort to ban the amphibious tourist boats. Seventeen people died when the boat sank during a July 19 storm near Branson, Missouri, including 40-year-old Glenn Coleman, 9-year-old Reece, 7-year-old Evan and 1-year-old Arya. Both lawsuits name Ripley Entertainment Inc., Ride the Ducks International, Ride the Ducks of Branson, the Herschend Family Entertainment Corp., and Amphibious Vehicle Manufacturing.

The Pennsylvania grand jury met for two years, reviewed 500,000 documents from dioceses’ secret archives heard testimony from dozens of victims and the bishop of Erie. The Pennsylvania grand jury report comes as the sex abuse scandal in the church has reached a new stage, with calls to discipline bishops who sexually abused younger priests and seminarians, or who have covered up for abusive colleagues. “I had gone to two bishops with allegations over five years, and they ignored and downplayed my allegations,” said the Rev.

Often used by window cleaners, swing stages are precarious in high winds. Before drones, Mr. Murphy said, workers seeking access to the exterior of a high-rise were “dropped over the side” in so-called swing stages, small platforms that hang from cables. Drones are reducing the travel time for busy executives, Mr. Winn said. Sales of drones increased 33 percent in 2017 over the prior year, according to the market research firm NPD Group. Such peril is magnified in the construction of skyscrapers, said John Murphy Jr., a contractor on the Paramount Miami Worldcenter, a 58-story condominium tower being built in downtown Miami.

"Klopp won his first final as a manager, the 2012 German Cup with Borussia Dortmund, but has lost his last six - including May's Champions League final and the Europa League final against Sevilla in 2016. Klopp was critical of Ramos after Real's Champions League win for a challenge on Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah that injured his shoulder.

Mr. Manafort then emailed Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, recommending Mr. Calk as someone who would “be totally reliable” and would “advance D.T. In August 2016, before he was forced out of his position as campaign chairman, Mr. Manafort arranged to add Mr. Calk to Mr. Trump’s economic advisory committee. In November, just days after the election, Mr. Calk sent Mr. Manafort a long list of top administration jobs for which he wanted to be considered. Mr. Westling argued that the bank was not victimized because it would have approved Mr. Manafort’s loans “regardless of the information” he had submitted. Mr. Manafort, 69, is accused of evading taxes on roughly $16.5 million in income that he earned working for pro-Russia political forces in Ukraine.

When this happens in democracies, elected leaders are typically replaced with new ones who eventually reign inflation in. What Inflation ThreatensAny dictator knows that inflation — which erodes legitimacy with the public and angers powerful elites who expect payouts — can pose existential risks. Populist strongmen — because of their relationships to their citizens, their fellow elites and to their own policymaking apparatus — tend to be different. Elected leaders will merely lose office (most of the time), but an authoritarian state can more easily collapse outright. Turkey’s meltdown, more than just a product of Mr. Erdogan’s powergrabs, is a microcosm of the pathologies inherent in his style of governing, and that of other populist strongmen.
