It is a "fair assumption" that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind US election hacks, secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson has said.

The 64-year-old former corporate titan, who has never worked in government, faced tough questions from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday. In a heated exchange, Mr Rubio grilled him on whether intelligence reports about Russia's involvement in  hacks of the US Democratic party  were accurate and if Mr Putin had directed the attacks.

Following calls for more diversity in the Academy Awards, the Oscar-nominated actress suggested black actors did not 'deserve to make the list' this year The 69-year-old, who has been nominated in the Best Actress category for her performance in  45 Years , said the move by some of Hollywood's elite to boycott the awards "is racist to whites". She told  French radio network Europe 1 on Friday morning , "Perhaps the black actors didn't merit being on the finishing line". "One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list,” added Rampling. Will Smith confirms boycott, plus everything else Hollywood has said about #OscarsSoWhite When asked if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which has a predominantly white, male and sexagenarian membership, should improve its diversity with quotas, Rampling said: "Why classify people?

Judges increase 'unduly lenient' manslaughter jail term to seven-and-a-half years for woman who killed neighbour after hearing he had abused children A mother who stabbed a convicted paedophile to death while he was on bail for abusing young boys has had her prison sentence more than doubled. Court of Appeal  judges in London increased the "unduly lenient" jail term of three-and-a-half years for Sarah Sands to seven-and-a-half years. The 33-year-old, of east London, carried out the killing within weeks of hearing that her 77-year-old neighbour, Michael Pleasted, had been released on bail ahead of his trial over accusations that he had sexually assaulted young boys. The single mother of five - who watched the latest proceedings via video link from prison - had armed herself with a knife before going to Pleasted's flat in Canning Town, east London, to confront him about the allegations.
