Donald Trump said that he would “encourage” Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies if those allies don’t contribute enough defense spending to the alliance, and Sen. Marco Rubio seems to be totally fine with that. The Republican said Sunday that he has “zero concern” about the former president’s remarks.
At a South Carolina rally on Saturday, Trump told a story where he claimed that he was speaking to a fellow leader of a NATO member country who asked him what the U.S.

Comcast’s investigation into ousted NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell stemmed from a complaint filed by CNBC anchor and senior international correspondent Hadley Gamble.
“The investigation into Mr. Shell arose from a complaint by my client of sexual harassment and sex discrimination,” Gamble’s attorney Suzanne McKie of Farore Law said in a statement. “Given these circumstances, it is very disappointing that my client’s name has been released and her privacy violated.”
Gamble, who is based from CNBC’s Middle East headquarters in Abu Dhabi, covers energy, geopolitics and financial markets and is the anchor of “Capital Connection.” She also presents CNBC’s popular documentary franchise ‘Access: Middle East’, where she speaks to world leaders, international CEOs and philanthropists. She has worked at CNBC since 2010.

Update: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that a preliminary investigation indicated that a missile that struck Poland was likely from Ukrainian air defense.
“We have no indication that this was a result of a deliberate attack, and we have no indication that Russia is preparing offensive military action against NATO,” Stoltenberg said.
He said that Russia still bears responsibility given that it has been engaged in a barrage of attacks on Russian cities.
Previously, Tuesday, 5:45 Pm Pt President Joe Biden told reporters that it was “unlikely” that a missile that struck Poland was fired from Russia.
“We are going to figure out exactly what happened,” he said.

Mark Hamill has said Volodymyr Zelensky compared Russia to the “evil empire” in Star Wars.
The sci-fi star spoke with the Ukrainian president in September.
Hamill, 71, was asked about their meeting during an appearance on BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg.
The actor recalled: “He did reference the movies and it’s not hard to understand why. Star Wars was always a fairytale for children and fairytales are morality tales of good versus evil, where good is clearly defined, evil is clearly defined.
“It’s not hard to extrapolate an evil Empire with Russia invading a sovereign nation. So it’s not surprising, and that’s probably what appealed to him about me.”
He said that their conversation “obviously” did not “dwell” on the subject of Star Wars.

“We have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, the coming days,” Joe Biden said unequivocally Friday for the first time after weeks of looming crisis in the former Ussr.
“We believe that they will target Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people,” Biden went on to say in dire terms, clearly preparing the U.S. for the clash between Vladimir Putin’s forces and Ukraine, with NATO poised to become involved. “We are calling out Russia’s plans loudly and repeatedly, not because we want a conflict but because we’re doing everything in our power to remove any reason that Russia may give to justify invading Ukraine.”
“The entire free world is united,” Biden declared.

Generation Utøya is a compelling, fascinating, humbling insight into a massacre. Not, as such documentaries often are, from the outside, meticulously narrating the events leading up to, the details of the day, the motives, the aftermath, the “lessons learned”. Rather, this is a no-holds-barred, troubling, up-close-and-scary survivors’ tale.
For those not aware, too young, too disconnected from the news, or just too uninvolved to remember, Utøya has a very particular place in the annals of Norway’s otherwise idyllic politics. On 22 July, 2011 a young man – Anders Breivik – carried out, in quick succession, two terror attacks. The first, a car bomb targeting the executive government quarter of Norway, next to the office of then Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, killed eight people and injured at least 209.
The second - so much more horrific, personal - took place a couple of hours later on the island of Utøya where a summer...

Just days after losing the battle with House leader Nancy Pelosi over funding for a border wall, President Donald Trump is laying out his case, once again, for a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.
While most Americans were sleeping, reading the paper or getting ready for church Sunday morning, Trump was on Twitter calling for increased border security.
To get his point across, he dropped several statistics alleging illegal immigration is spiraling out-of-control and costing the country millions every month.
“We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration so far this year is $18,959,495,168. Cost Friday was $603,331,392,” Trump tweeted. “There are at least 25,772,342 illegal aliens, not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years, in our Country. So ridiculous! Dhs.”
He didn’t say where he got those numbers.

From Utoya to The Hate U Give, a new wave of films offer an unflinching vision of violence against children. What does the bloodletting tell us about how we live now?
The facts are public knowledge. On 22 July 2012, wearing a police uniform bought online, Anders Behring Breivik took the ferry Ms Thorbjørn to the island of Utøya, north-west of Oslo. There, teenagers were attending a summer camp organised by the Norwegian Labour party. Two hours earlier, Breivik had detonated a car bomb outside the office of the prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, killing eight people. Now, in the course of just over an hour, he shot dead 69 more. The majority of the victims were in their teens.
Two films now return us to that day. The British director Paul Greengrass brings us 22 July; Utøya – July 22 is by Norwegian director Erik Poppe. Poppe’s Utøya takes place in howlingly stark real time,...

Paul Greengrass chronicles the horrific 2011 terror attacks on Norway and their aftermath in the uneven 22 July.
The first half-hour of director Paul Greengrass’ 22 July is about as terrifying a stretch of filmmaking as you’ll see this or any other year. It recounts the horrific events of July 22, 2011 in Norway, when a far-right terrorist named Anders Behring Breivik first planted a bomb in a van parked at the building housing the offices of the prime minister. He left the bomb to explode--killing eight and injuring more than 200--while he headed for the nearby island of Utoya, where he opened fire on hundreds of teenagers at a youth summer camp, killing 69 and injuring another 110.
The attacks were the worst in Norway since World War II, and Greengrass captures every terrifying, heartbreaking minute of them, dispensing with the shaky, nearly incoherent cinematography that were a hallmark of his overrated Bourne films while...

Stephen Colbert dissected President Donald Trump‘s contentious first day at the Nato summit in Brussels, Belgium. During a meeting with Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump accused Germany of being “totally controlled by Russia” because 35 percent of the country’s natural gas comes from Russia.
“It’s true, we’re all controlled by the people who give us our gas,” Colbert deadpanned. “Which is why I’m forever beholden to the Chevron on Route 3. When they invaded the Pizza Hut next door I said nothing, what could I do?...

Donald Trump is in Europe right now doing Donald Trump things to U.S. allies, and Stephen Colbert spent the first part of his monologue on “The Late Show” Wednesday night hurling zingers at the president.
“It is the first full day of Donald Trump’s trip to Europe. He’s in Brussels for the Nato summit, and then it’s on to England, then he’s going to straight to hell,” Colbert said. Then he realized he’d left off a couple syllables. “I’m sorry, Helsinki. To meet with Vladimir Putin.”
After that “slip,” Colbert pointed out one subtle odd detail from video of the meeting.

A huge explosion outside the government headquarters building in Oslo, Norway on Friday has left several injured and at least one person dead. The enormous Oslo explosion tore into in the 20-story government building, which houses the prime minister’s office, and damaged several other nearby buildings. The explosion also ignited a fire in a six-story building housing the oil ministry.
“There has been one or several powerful explosions in the government district in Oslo,” Oslo police said in a press statement. “So far, police cannot say anything about the scope of the damage, aside from that there’s been one or several explosions.”
An official cause of the Oslo explosion, which occurred shortly before 3:30Pm local time, has not yet been determined. The street next to the damaged buildings was piled with debris and the blackened, smoking wreckage of a car can be seen in some photos and video from the scene.
