Comparing Mike Pence and Hillary Clinton's personal email use
Revelations that Vice President Mike Pence occasionally used a personal email account to conduct state business as governor of Indiana has prompted comparisons by some to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server for official communications during her tenure. Her email problems plagued her presidential campaign and came to a dramatic conclusion when FBI director James Comey called her handling of classified information "extremely careless," though he declined to pursue criminal charges. Comey briefly reopened the investigation just days before the 2016 election, a move that infuriated the Clinton campaign and ultimately did not alter his recommendations to drop the matter. -

Why one of the world's richest people took out a mortgage
Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett recently listed his Laguna Beach, California vacation home for $11 million. If gets anything near what he's asking, he'll make a decent return on his investment. He paid $150,000 for the property back in 1971, which is about $900,000 in today's dollars. What you may be surprised to find out is that Buffet, one of the world's richest people, took out a 30-year mortgage when he bought the 6 bedroom, 7 bathroom seaside spot. "When I bought it for $150,000, I borrowed some money from Great Western Savings and Loans. So I probably only had $30,000 of equity in it or something like that - it's the only mortgage I've had for fifty years," Buffett said. -

Iran announces successful test of $800m Russia-built air defence system
Iran has successfully tested an advanced air defence system purchased from Russia in another demonstration of strong ties between the two countries. The S-300 system can track and take out multiple targets at a range of up to 125 miles (200 km) and has been named Damavand after Iran's highest mountain - a potentially active volcano. The successful test, which was announced by IRNA - Iran's state news agency - on Saturday (4 March), looks likely to be viewed with concern by the West, and particularly by the US, where President Trump has vowed to take a tough stance against the Iranian regime. -
