– ‘He has no choice’ Emmanuel Macron’s minister urged to quit after being accused of rape:

EMMANUEL Macron’s rivals have ordered for his budget minister to step down after prosecutors reopened an investigation into allegations he raped a woman in return for helping her.

Gérald Darmanin allegedly pressured the woman into sex in return for helping her clear her name in a legal dispute.Sophie Spatz, a 46-year-old former call girl, filed a complaint against Mr Darmanin shortly after the May 2017 presidential election, but the investigation was closed after she failed to attend questioning by police.

She renewed her complaint in January, sparking a preliminary probe. Mrs Spatz told police she had approached Mr Darmanin in 2009 seeking legal help, but that she had felt “pressured into sex” when he touched her hand and said: “You too must help me”.

Mr Darmanin, a former right-wing lawmaker, has vehemently denied the accusations. His lawyers said Mrs Spatz was trying to “harm” the minister’s reputation, adding their client would file a counter-suit for slander.

– Russian Fighter Jet Flies Within 5 Feet Of US Spy Plane, Causing “Violent Turbulence”:

In the latest attempt to recreate Top Gun in real life, a Russian Su-27 fighter jet reportedly performed an “unsafe intercept of a US Navy P-3 Orion surveillance plane” while it was flying in international airspace next to Russia, over the the Black Sea Monday, CNN reports.

What makes today’s alleged close encounter remarkable is that the American pilots reported that the Russian jet came within five feet of the US plane. The Russian jet’s action forced the US Navy aircraft – which was spying on Russia from above international waters in immediate vicinity to Russia – to end its mission prematurely.

– Fitness Tracking App Accidentally Reveals Secret US Military Bases, CIA “Black” Sites:

An interactive online fitness tracking map published in November of 2017 which compiles a running history of the location and routes of 27 million fitness-device users has unwittingly revealed the location, staffing, patrol routes and layout of U.S. and foreign military bases around the world.  

San Francisco based fitness company Strava posted their “global heatmap” to their website, containing two years worth of fitness data across several fitness devices such as Jawbone and Fitbit. The map is not live, rather, it is a composite of overlapping routes.

In most urban areas such as major cities such as New York, Strava’s map appears as solid neon lights following just about every road on which one might exercise.
