>New arms race started by US pulling out of missile treaty – Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied accusations he revived an arms race by unveiling Russia’s new nuclear deterrent. That was done by US President George W. Bush killing a 30-year-old missile treaty in 2002, he told NBC.
In an interview with NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today” on Thursday, the Russian leader brushed off claims in the Western media that by introducing new nuclear-powered missiles, including the hypersonic Sarmat, he has signaled a new arms race. The alarmist rhetoric that fills Western news outlets is just another form of propaganda, Putin said.
>“My point of view is that the individuals saying that a new Cold War has started are not really analysts; they do propaganda,” he said, as translated by NBC. Putin blamed Washington’s 2002 withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM Treaty) for escalating the confrontation. “If we are to speak of an arms race, then an arms race started precisely at that point”.
It was US President George W. Bush who withdrew from the ABM Treaty, which had been one of the main pillars of the détente and held for nearly 30 years. Bush argued that the treaty hindered the US’ ability to protect itself from “future terrorist or rogue state attacks.”
In the years following, the US has encircled Russia with its missile defense installations, extending its anti-missile shield to Romania and Poland, deploying for the first time a battery of Patriot long-range anti-aircraft system to Lithuania for war games.
The US nuclear build-up on Russia’s doorstep triggered a response from Moscow, which deployed its newest Iskander systems to its Kaliningrad exclave, citing the threat posed by US missile launchers deployed in Poland and Romania.
>Terrorist ‘teacher’ found guilty of grooming ‘army of children’ to attack London landmarks
A self-styled teacher and supporter of Islamic State has been found guilty of trying to create an “army of children” more than a hundred-strong to help carry out a wave of terrorist attacks across London. The defendant, 25-year-old Umar Haque was convicted of preparing acts of terrorism between March 25 and May 18 last year. Among his intended targets were iconic British landmarks including Big Ben, the Queen's Guard and Heathrow Airport.
Haque subjected up to 110 children between the ages of 11 and 14 to beheading videos and other violent militant propaganda under the guise of teaching Islamic Studies, the court heard.
>Despite the fact Haque had no teaching qualifications, he had access to 250 young people over five years at two schools through his job as an administrator. Among the schools where he taught, was the fee-paying Lantern of Knowledge Islamic school in Leyton, and Essex Islamic Academy, also known as Ripple Road Mosque, in east London.
Police believe he potentially tried to radicalize 110 children. “His plan was to create an army of children to assist with multiple terrorist attacks throughout London,” said Dean Haydon, head of the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command. “He tried and he did, we believe, radicalize vulnerable children from the ages of 11 to 14.”
The children were forced to re-enact last year’s deadly Westminster attack and were trained to build up their strength. “He tried to prepare the children for martyrdom by making them role-play terrorist attacks. Part of that role-playing was re-enacting attacking police officers,” Haydon said.

Haydon said the children were sworn to secrecy and did not tell their parents, as they had been “paralyzed by fear.” Haque threatened that they would suffer the same fate as those in the militant videos he showed them. Thirty-five of the affected children are now undergoing long-term safeguarding measures involving social services and other authorities. Haque first came to the attention of authorities at Heathrow Airport in 2016, when terrorist-related material was uncovered on his phone and he became the target of police and an MI5 investigation.
"We decided to intervene early and arrest him for what we thought was his longer-term aspirational attack plan and we then uncovered other offenses regarding the radicalization of children," Commander Haydon told Sputnik.
Prosecutors said that the defendant planned to use guns and a car packed with explosives to strike targets such as Big Ben, the Queen’s Guards, Westfield shopping center, banks, and media stations.
Haque was found guilty at London’s Old Bailey Court of a number of offences including preparing terrorist acts, having previously pleaded guilty to four charges. As he was dragged from the dock he shouted: "You will clearly see Islamic State establish itself in the Arabian peninsula and that droughts will affect Europe and America."
He will be sentenced at a later date. Two other men, Abuthaher Mamun – a 19-year-old who also taught at the mosque and 27-year-old Muhammad Abid – were convicted of assisting Haque.
Following the verdict, the UK Charity Commission confirmed that a statutory inquiry into the Essex Islamic Academy is underway. The inquiry opened in October 2017 but was not made public for fear of prejudicing the trial. An inquiry into Lantern of Knowledge has also been launched, which will be commencing on February 17.
>Australia says suicide car bomb in Kabul exploded near embassy vehicles One person was killed and 14 bystanders were wounded after a suicide car bomber struck on Friday in the Afghan capital of Kabul, officials said. No group immediately claimed responsibility. The cause of the explosion was a car bomb in the city’s Qabl Bai area, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish. The intended target was not clear, but a statement from the Australian Foreign Ministry said the explosion had occurred near Australian embassy vehicles as they were traveling in the city. It said no one from the embassy had been harmed, Reuters reports. news.com.au/world/middle-east/car-bomb-explodes-near-australian-embassy-vehicles-in-kabul/news-story/7df4796f52ebb853a11e3a35235e6cc0
>Myanmar defends deployment of troops on Bangladesh border near Rohingya camp Myanmar defended the deployment of fresh troops to a border zone with Bangladesh on Friday, where thousands of Rohingya refugees are camped, blaming a militant threat. Dhaka called for an immediate retreat to lower tensions along the troubled frontier, AFP said. The increased security presence this week has centered around a strip of ‘no man’s land’ between the two countries, where some 6,000 Rohingya sought shelter after fleeing a brutal Myanmar army crackdown last August. The recent spike in security along the border is a response to new intelligence about the movement of Rohingya militants, said Myanmar government spokesman Zaw Htay.
>Eastern Ghouta residents start forming armed groups to break militants' siege
Civic activists in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta have begun to form small armed groups to break the militants’ blockade and reach areas controlled by the government, Spokesman for the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the opposing sides in Syria Major General Vladimir Zolotukhin told reporters.
"We have been receiving reports about the difficult humanitarian situation [in Eastern Ghouta - TASS], the lack of food and medicine, as well as numerous complaints about persecution on the part of militants," he said, adding that "it causes growing discontent among locals and even outbreaks of protest." "There is information that some civic activists are forming small armed groups, planning to break the militants’ blockade and reach areas controlled by the government," Zolotukhin noted.
The Russian Center for Reconciliation once again called on the leaders of illegal armed units to stop the persecution of civilians and allow them to leave Eastern Ghouta.
Zolotukhin earlier said that clashes between locals and militants had taken place in Eastern Ghouta on Wednesday, leaving four civilians and three terrorists dead.
At the Russian president’s order, a daily humanitarian pause from 09:00 to 14:00 is in effect in Eastern Ghouta starting from February 27, aimed at providing civilians with an opportunity to leave the area. However, militants disrupted the first three humanitarian pauses. According to sources in the Russian Center for Reconciliation, militants many times shelled the humanitarian corridor set up for civilians willing to exit from the enclave. They also prevented people from leaving threatening them with death. More: tass.com/world/992580

>US presence near Al-Tanf violates Syria’s sovereignty — diplomat
The United States’ illegal presence in the Al-Tanf area is a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
"The US military’s illegal presence near Al-Tanf and its blocking of the important transport link between Damascus and Baghdad is a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty," she said.
The Russian diplomat pointed to "the hysteria over Damascus and Moscow’s alleged unwillingness to implement the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2401, which has been fueled by the foreign sponsors of radical extremists and biased media." "I would like to reiterate that Russia voted in favor of the resolution and right after its approval took practical steps to implement its major provisions," Zakharova noted.
"We will continue down the same path," the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman stressed. "However, no one should expect us to hinder the Syrian authorities’ efforts to fight terrorism," she added. More: tass.com/politics/992500

>Russian envoy asks UK foreign secretary to explain his ‘airstrike’ statements on Syria
Russian Ambassador to the UK Alexander Yakovenko has demanded an explanation from Britain’s Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson on his recent statements about the possibility of conducting strikes against Syria’s government forces, the embassy told TASS.
"Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko has sent the head of the Foreign Office a letter asking to provide a clear explanation on what Boris Johnson meant when he did not rule out the possibility of conducting airstrikes by Britain on government forces over the use of chemical weapons in Syria in his interview to BBC Radio 4 on February 27," the embassy said.
"Presenting the problem in this way raises concerns," the embassy added. "Armed aggression against Syria’s legitimate government will be a flagrant violation of international law with all ensuing negative consequences for London’s international positioning. The threat of the use of force against Syria that the Foreign Office’s head must have spoken about, does not contribute to a political settlement that had been galvanized by the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi in January and diminishes the prospects of finding a compromise solution to the conflict in Syria, and sends a wrong signal to the armed opposition and the terrorists."

The embassy believes that such remarks demonstrate another case of the United Kingdom’s disdain for the norms of international law. "If Boris Johnson’s statements correspond to Britain’s plans, then London is again demonstrating its disregard for international law and the absence of interest in a peaceful solution to the Syrian conflict based on UN Security Council Resolutions 2254 and 2401," the embassy said. In addition, the diplomatic mission highlighted a story that had happened five years ago. "In 2013, the British parliament prevented a mistake that the British government headed by David Cameron could have made if it had received a go-ahead for illegal aggression against the sovereign state of Syria. Through their decision, the MPs indicated to the government the insufficiency, unreliability and inconsistency of the information that had been received from the site of the chemical attack in August 2013 in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta," the embassy stated.
On February 27, Boris Johnson, the UK’s top diplomat, said that London may support military action against Syrian government forces, but only if there is convincing evidence of the use of chemical weapons by Damascus. More: tass.com/politics/992454
