| Bill Cosby's moralising comes back to haunt him | | Wednesday, July 08, 2015 12:37 AM | |
|  By Edward McAllister and Jill Serjeant NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bill Cosby's forthright views on black parenting came back to haunt him this week when a U.S. judge called the comedian a "public moralist" who had lost the right of personal privacy in a 2005 civil sexual assault case. The career of the once beloved comedian from TV's "The Cosby Show" is in tatters after more than 40 women came forward in the past year to accuse him of drugging and sexually assaulting them in incidents dating back decades. Recordings of speeches from the 2000s reveal different sides of Cosby: the comedian, the avuncular father figure, the fierce moralist.

| Hillary Clinton - Hacking problem not limited to China | |  Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday that hacking by countries such as China and Iran posed a broad threat to U.S. security and business, and the federal government had not done enough to protect U.S. information. "And we worry about terrorist organizations getting access to the capacity." Clinton, who is under fire for using a private server and email account when she was the top U.S. diplomat, said her worries started when she encountered as secretary "the grave concerns that a lot of American businesses had that their most confidential information was being vacuumed up through intrusive hacking." "The United States, both our government and the private sector, have to recognise this is a serious threat," she said.

| L.A. judge refuses to dismiss murder case against 'Suge' Knight | |  Defence lawyers had filed a motion seeking to throw out the case on grounds that a key witness declined under oath to identify the Death Row Records co-founder as the driver who ran over the two victims with a pickup truck.But Superior Court Judge Stephen Marcus sided with the prosecution, ruling there was more than enough evidence to establish that Knight was behind the wheel of the vehicle. "There's no doubt that 'Suge' Knight was the person who drove the red truck," the judge said, as Knight sat in court, dressed in an orange jail uniform. Knight, 50, is charged with murder, attempted murder and two counts of felony hit-and-run in a Jan. 29 confrontation in the L.A. suburb of Compton that left Terry Carter dead and Cle "Boan" Sloan with a badly mangled left foot and head injuries.

| UN Srebrenica vote delayed in bid to avoid Russia veto: diplomats | |  By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A U.N. Security Council vote on a resolution to condemn the Srebrenica massacre as genocide, marking the 20th anniversary of the mass killing, has been delayed until Wednesday as Britain and the United States try to convince Russia not to veto the commemoration, diplomats said. Russia has deemed the British-drafted resolution unbalanced and does not want the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys described as genocide. Instead it proposed condemning "the most serious crimes of concern to the international community." A vote by the 15-member council had been scheduled for Tuesday morning, but has been delayed until Wednesday morning as talks between Britain, the United States and Russia continue on the draft, said diplomats.
