“I think we have a lot of foes,” Trump said, responding to a question put forward by by CBS News’ Jeff Glor. “I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe,” Trump said.
“Russia is foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly they are a foe – but that doesn’t mean they are bad.
“It doesn’t mean anything,” he continued. “It means that they are competitive. They want to do well and we want to do well.”

The secrets of the origins of light are set to be unlocked by the discovery of an elusive “ghost” particle a mile beneath Antarctica, scientists have announced.
Astronomers have for the first time identified the source of a high-energy neutrino which shot through a solid ice laboratory at the South Pole last year in a “triumph” that promises to revolutionise understanding of fundamental physics.
A highly popular area near Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming has been closed to the public for the immediate future due to concerns over expanding cracks and fissures in a large rock formation, park officials said Tuesday evening.
The National Park Service implemented an emergency closure in the Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point areas on the west side of Jenny Lake for human safety.

Road signs that know when a mobile phone is being used in a moving vehicle are being installed in Norfolk, in a bid to tackle usage behind the wheel.
The system, which can tell the difference between active phone calls and other activities based on the strength of a signal and how long it lasts, flashes up a red warning signal to drivers when it detects a call.
The technology cannot yet log number plates or be used to help catch offending drivers, but it is hoped it will act as a deterrent.

Here we go again. There is another thick African dust cloud heading for Houston. This cloud will be just as thick if not thicker than the cloud that turned Houston’s sky hazy gray at the end of June. The thickest part of the cloud will be passing over Houston Sunday and Monday. If you didn’t notice any health impacts last time, then you’ll probably be okay this time, too.

Every quarter the Institute of International Finance publishes a new number of the total amount of global debt outstanding, and every quarter the result is the same: a new record high…
But that’s not all.. The IIF Then released a Stark Warning!
What was surprising about the report – certainly not the latest all time high debt numbers, those are now standard – is that the IIF voiced a strongly negative opinion of recent developments in the debt arena.
“The pace is indeed a cause for concern,” warned IIF’s Managing Director Hung Tran during a call with reporters. “The problem with the pace and speed is if you borrow or if you lend very quickly, the quality of the credit tends to suffer.” It also means more governments, businesses and individuals have been borrowing that could have trouble paying the money back, or merely paying interest on it as rates rise.
