Tankers Attacked Again in Gulf of Oman, Raising Fears of Wider Conflict
Explosions disabled two tankers in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, forced their crews to evacuate and left one vessel ablaze, a month after four tankers were damaged in the same area. The United States said the ships were attacked and blamed Iran, escalating tensions in a vital passageway for much of the world’s petroleum.
Hours after the two vessels were struck, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in Washington that intelligence reviewed by American officials showed that Iran was responsible. Mr. Pompeo did not present any evidence of Iran’s involvement.

Top Tourist Attractions: Queenstown, New Zealand

Hong Kong leader defiant as city gears up for fresh protests over extradition bill
Hong Kong's embattled leader Carrie Lam remained defiant on Tuesday, pledging to push ahead with a proposed extradition bill that would allow fugitives captured in Hong Kong to be sent to mainland China despite massive protests.
Lam spoke two days after the city was plunged into a fresh political crisis after hundreds of thousands took to the streets to thwart the proposed law, which has generated unusually broad opposition at home and abroad.
Hong Kong is gearing up for business strikes and fresh protests on Wednesday, when the bill is due to be put for debate in the city's 70-seat Legislative Council that is now controlled by a pro-Beijing majority.

Ashish Joshi's Wild Life Photography: I See You
I See You
I was roaming around
outskirts of Pune in a scrubland, when I suddenly saw something peeping out of
the stone wall.
On close check, to my
surprise, it was a spotted owlet.
Seeing me approaching,
the owlet went inside. I decided to wait patiently at a safe distance for him
to come out.
After sometime, he
peeped out to check if I am still around, giving me an opportunity to create
the below image.
