USA, Cuba dismiss reports of Chinese spy station being built in the Caribbean |Oneindia News

The Cuban and US governments have both denied a media report saying Havana and Beijing agreed to establish a Chinese electronic eavesdropping facility in Cuba, some 160 kilometers south of Florida.

A spy base with such proximity to several US military bases in the southeastern region of the country would have allowed Beijing to collect electronic communications and monitor ship traffic.

The report about this secretive spying base was published in the Wall Street Journal.

The report mentioned that the agreement was also reached in-principle in exchange for "several billion dollars" for the cash-strapped Latin American country.

Quoting unnamed US officials familiar with “highly classified intelligence”, the article said the proposed base would allow China to conduct “signals intelligence”, a kind of espionage that would allow it to intercept emails, phone calls and other data from the US.

The Journal reported the facility would allow Beijing to gather electronic communications from the southeastern US, which houses many US military bases, as well as monitor ship traffic.

The US Central Command headquarters is based in Tampa.

Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, the largest US military base, is in North Carolina.

Hurricane Idalia slams into Florida; Causes inundation, massive power outage | Oneindia News

Hurricane Idalia plowed into Florida’s Gulf Coast on Wednesday with howling winds, torrential rains and pounding surf, then weakened as it turned its fury on south-eastern Georgia, where floodwaters trapped some residents in their homes. The powerful storm, which the National Hurricane Center (NHC) called "an unprecedented event", made landfall shortly after daybreak with 160mph gusts near Keaton Beach on Florida’s Gulf coast. Idalia grew from a tropical storm into a hurricane early on Tuesday, a day after passing west of Cuba, where it damaged homes and flooded villages. In Florida, it pushed inland a storm surge of up to 16ft, submerging small coastal communities and setting record high water levels across a wide area stretching 200 miles south to Tampa. #Idaliahurricane #Idaliaflorida #Idaliacuba ~HT.99~ED.153~ED.101~

Sophie Turner Sues Joe Jonas to Bring Their Kids Back to England

Sophie Turner Sues Joe Jonas , to Bring Their Kids Back to England. Earlier this month, Turner and Jonas announced that they are getting divorced after four years of marriage. On Sept. 21, Turner filed a lawsuit against Jonas, claiming that he's wrongfully kept their two children from "their habitual residence" in England, NBC News reports. . According to the petition, Jonas and Turner decided to permanently reside in England in April and have their children attend school there as well. . They reportedly entered into contracts to purchase a home in July and planned to move in December. Over the summer, the couple decided that their children would travel with Jonas on tour while Turner started filming for a new series. Turner intended to go to New York after filming in mid-September and bring the kids back to the U.K. with her. But the arrangement seemingly strained their relationship even more, and Jonas filed for divorce "on or about Sept. 1," the petition states. Turner reportedly found out about Jonas' divorce filing via the media on Sept. 5, and the couple issued a joint statement the following day. The estranged couple met on Sept. 17 to discuss things, but Jonas reportedly refused to give Turner their children's passports. . Turner then filed suit, claiming that she "never consented or acquiesced to the removal of the children from England.". However, Florida law, where Jonas filed for divorce, "restricts both parents from relocating the children.". If he complies, Joe will be in violation of the Florida Court order, Spokesperson for Jonas, via statement
