The 35 km-long Caragele field, in the central Romanian county of Buzau, has an estimated 25-27 billion cubic metres of gas, which could ensure the country's entire consumption for up to three years. BUCHAREST: Romanian state-owned gas producer Romgaz will start production in 2019 at a newly discovered gas field, its biggest find in three decades, the government said on Friday. The 35 km-long Caragele field, in the central Romanian county of Buzau, has an estimated 25-27 billion cubic metres of gas, which could ensure the country's entire consumption for up to three years. That estimate could rise with further exploration work and Romgaz has plans to drill six more wells this year, the government said. Production will require overall investment of 140 million euros ($153 million), with 40 million to be spent this year. A Bulgarian-Romanian gas pipeline partially funded with European Union funds and linking the two states to Austria would also be finalised in 2019, the government said, meaning Romania could become a net gas exporter. "The Caragele discovery is another step on Romania's road to ensuring energy independence and consolidating its status as a stability factor within the EU," Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu said. "It is also an important moment that contributes to meeting our objective of diversifying our energy supply sources." Romania has a diverse mix of energy-resources, including gas, coal, hydro, nuclear and renewables, and unlike many of its emerging European peers it imports only about a 10th of its gas needs from Russia. Gas production by Romgaz and Petrom, majority controlled by Austria's OMV, meets most of Romania's own needs. But while Romania has a strong energy mix, the energy ministry estimated last year the overall sector needs about 20 billion euros worth of investment in power, oil and gas production, mining and related infrastructure by 2030. It said Romania will retire 1,800 MW of gas-fired power plant capacity and 2,400 MW of coal-fired by 2030, while replacing and retrofitting other plant. ($1 = 0.9153 euros)

If someone invites you to edit a file in Google Docs today, don’t open it — it may be spam from a phishing scheme that’s been spreading quickly this afternoon. As detailed on Reddit, the attack sends targets an emailed invitation from someone they may know, takes them to a real Google sign-in screen, then asks them to “continue to Google Docs.” But this grants permissions to a (malicious) third-party web app that’s simply been named “Google Docs,” which gives phishers access to your email and address book. The key difference between this and a very simple email phishing scheme is that this doesn’t just take you to a bogus Google page and collect your password — something you could detect by checking the page URL. It works within Google’s system, but takes advantage of the fact that you can create a non-Google web app with a misleading name. Here’s what the permissions screen looks like, for example: If you check the title for developer information, though, you’ll get something like this: Here’s the whole process, from start to finish: If you’ve clicked the link, your account may have already sent spam messages to the people in your address book. But you can revoke future access through Google’s “Connected Apps and Sites” page; where it will appear as “Google Docs.” We’re still not sure exactly how widespread the attack is, but journalists from several outlets — including The Verge — have received spam emails. In a statement issued this afternoon, Google says it’s taken measures to stop the spread of the attack and resolve the problem at its core: We have taken action to protect users against an email impersonating Google Docs, and have disabled offending accounts,” the company said in a statement. “We’ve removed the fake pages, pushed updates through Safe Browsing, and our abuse team is working to prevent this kind of spoofing from happening again. We encourage users to report phishing emails in Gmail. Update 4:00PM ET, 5/3: We’re seeing reports that Google has disabled the application, although we’re still not sure exactly how far it’s spread, or if the attack might continue through another application.

It's been a bit of a rough day if you enjoy using the internet. Google Docs experienced a widespread phishing attack, sending the internet into panic. Now WhatsApp has been down for more than an hour, and users of the po[CENSORED]r Facebook-owned messaging service have turned to Twitter to vent their frustrations and finish off the panic over the Google Docs attack. Unfortunately, it looks like WhatsApp gave up providing useful status reports on when its messaging service is down a few years ago. WhatsApp has more than 1 billion users, and it's widely used across the world for group chats and as a replacement for SMS in a number of countries. "WhatsApp is down" reports have been constant worldwide for the past hour, and a WhatsApp spokesperson revealed to Reuters the company is aware of the outage and is working to fix it.

Dashcam video captured a small, single-engine plane dropping down from the sky, clipping power lines and leaving a fiery plume in its path before crashing into a highway near Seattle. (Guanting Li) The video shows a small, single-engine plane drop down from the sky, clipping power lines and leaving a fiery plume in its path before crashing into a highway near Seattle. The plane, a Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six that had taken off from a nearby airport, went down Tuesday afternoon at an intersection in Mukilteo, Wash. The crash along State Route 525 was no doubt terrifying. “I thought it was the end of our lives,” one witness told NBC affiliate KING. But police said there were no serious injuries, even though the plane “struck the light pole where it erupted a fuel cell,” Mukilteo Police Officer Myron Davis told KING. “It spilled fuel onto the roadway, onto a vehicle which ignited.” [Horrified motorists witness Taiwan airliner flip into river. At least 31 killed.] Mukilteo police later posted pictures on Twitter showing firefighters working near a mangled aircraft and at least one charred car. National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge Eliott Simpson told The Washington Post that the agency is investigating into the crash. Simpson said the pilot told authorities that he lost engine power upon takeoff from Paine Field (also known as Snohomish County Airport). The pilot tried to restart the engine midair, but it didn’t work, police told the Herald. The pilot also told authorities that he was flying toward Harbour Pointe Boulevard, searching for a place to set the plane down, when it snagged power lines and then wiped out a traffic signal, according to the newspaper. Fuel showered the vehicles below and caught fire. “We definitely felt the fireball as it went over the van,” Amanda Hayes, who said her vehicle was scraped by a wing of the plane, told KING. “I’m just thankful to be here.” Other motorists said the same thing. Juan Teran told the Herald he recalled thinking to himself: “Man, I think we are not going to make it.” “I didn’t know what to do,” another motorist, Steven Welch, told the newspaper. “I saw so much fire I just got out. I felt the heat go right by.” Khal Nouri, who was stopped at a red light with his family, told KING the plane zipped over them. “I thought it was the end of our lives,” he said, praising the pilot. “He didn’t want to hit a building obviously, he didn’t want to hit an area where people are, and he saw this street was empty. He did a fantastic job.” The Herald reported the pilot, from Oregon, was in Washington to get seats for a Falcon 50 flown by Emergency Airlift, an air ambulance service.

President Trump meets with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the Oval Office of the White House on Wednesday. President Trump welcomed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the White House on Wednesday, putting a renewed focus on prospects for peace with Israel — a goal that has long eluded previous U.S. leaders. Abbas and a small entourage arrived outside the West Wing in a black limousine shortly before noon and were greeted by Trump. The Palestinian leader and his advisers are weighing efforts to restart peace negotiations with Israel with the aim of securing Palestinian borders, a capital and a state. “It is a great honor to have the president with us,” Trump said after taking Abbas into the Oval Office. “We are going to have lunch, we are going to have discussions.” Trump, who in February met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, has called a possible Palestinian-Israeli accord “the toughest deal in the world” but one he is determined to try to broker. Some analysts are skeptical, however, that Trump will ultimately succeed in an arena where his predecessors have fallen short. [Trump steps back from U.S. commitment to two-state Israeli-Palestinian solution] “Every president, when they come into office, thinks they can bring about an Israel-Palestinian deal,” said James Gelvin, professor of modern Middle Eastern history at the University of California at Los Angeles. “Everyone fails, and then they turn their attention to issues that are more pressing. This is probably going to be the same sort of thing.” Dennis A. Ross, counselor at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and former American envoy to the Middle East, said that although immediate results are unlikely, the meetings could set the table for later progress. “You can’t solve the conflict right now. The gaps between the Israelis and Palestinians are too wide. We are at the lowest ebb in Israeli-Palestinian perceptions of each other since I’ve been working on this,” Ross said. “But you can create a sense of possibility, you can break the stalemate, you can show that something is possible. And that’s what I think can happen here — you can show that a sense of possibility exists.” [Palestinians think Trump can make a deal] Abbas, 82, arrived in Washington as a weakened political figure. Unpo[CENSORED]r among his own people, there are questions to his legitimacy as leader of the Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank. Its rival, the militant Hamas group, holds the Gaza Strip. Trump has spoken with Abbas by phone, but their White House meeting is their first face-to-face encounter. Among other challenges, the new Republican president is facing pressure from members of his party to demand that the Palestinian Authority end financial payments to the families of Palestinians who commit violence against Israelis. A group of Republican senators has introduced legislation to cut off American aid if that demand isn't met. [All 100 senators sign letter asking for equal treatment of Israel at the U.N.] “I think the thrust of the meeting will be on one hand prepared to work with making clear what they expect from him,” Ross said. Ross said the meeting is important to Abbas because it elevates him in the eyes of other Middle East leaders. “The administration is basically making him relevant, and they’re making him relevant at a time when all of the Sunni Arab leaders want to make sure the Trump administration won’t withdraw from the region,” Ross said. During Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu in February, administration officials pushed for restraint on the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank on land the Palestinians want for a future state. Those talks ended with no firm agreement. There are about 400,000 Jewish settlers living in the West Bank, which is known by its ancient names of Judea and Samaria by many Israelis. [Israel’s Netanyahu snubs German foreign minister for meeting activists critical of government] Trump, who campaigned for president as an unwavering ally of Israel, has sounded an optimistic note about ending the generations-old dispute between the Israelis and Palestinians. “I want to see peace with Israel and the Palestinians,” Trump said in an interview last week with the Reuters news agency. “There is no reason there’s not peace between Israel and the Palestinians — none whatsoever.” Abbas will also hold a separate meeting later Wednesday with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, according to officials. During Netanyahu’s White House visit in February, Trump both flattered and pressured him when the two fielded questions from journalists. During that visit Trump also made headlines by saying he “could live with” either a separate Palestinian state or a single state as a peaceful outcome. “I want the one that both parties want,” Trump said.

Sporting Lisbon striker Bas Dost continues to rival Barcelona's Lionel Messi for the Golden Shoe award after scoring a hat trick at the weekend. Dost, 27, inspired Sporting to a 3-2 win over Braga and took his scoring tally for the season to 31 in 28 league matches. Meanwhile, Messi, who is a three-time European Golden Shoe winner, has 33 La Liga goals to his name this campaign, although he was not on target at the weekend. According to the European Sports Media points system, Dost now resides on 62 points while Messi has 66 with three matches left to play each. Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski is third in the list on 56 points, Borussia Dortmund's Patrick Aubameyang is fourth (54) and Barca's Luis Suarez is fifth (52). European Sports Media, a European association of football related publications, has awarded the Golden Shoe since the 1996-97 season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ibra's 38 goals last season were only mulitiplied by 1.5, because Ligue 1 wasn't among Europe's top 5 leagues using its UEFA coefficient.... here's how they do it: Since the 1996–97 season, European Sports Media have awarded the Golden Shoe based on a points system that allows players in tougher leagues to win even if they score fewer goals than a player in a weaker league. The weightings are determined by the league's ranking on the UEFA coefficients, which in turn depend on the results of each league's clubs in European competition over the previous five seasons. Goals scored in the top five leagues according to the UEFA coefficients list are multiplied by a factor of two, goals scored in the leagues ranked six to 21 are multiplied by a factor of 1.5, and goals scored in leagues ranked 22 and below are multiplied by a factor of 1.[2] Thus, goals scored in higher ranked leagues will count for more than those scored in weaker leagues.[3]"

‘I would be honored to do it,’ he says in Bloomberg interview North Korea has become Trump’s top foreign policy challenge President Donald Trump said he would meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un amid heightened tensions over his country’s nuclear weapons program if the circumstances were right. “If it would be appropriate for me to meet with him, I would absolutely, I would be honored to do it,” Trump said Monday in an Oval Office interview with Bloomberg News. “If it’s under the, again, under the right circumstances. But I would do that.” The U.S. has no diplomatic relations with North Korea, and as recently as last week, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said at the United Nations that the U.S. would negotiate with Kim’s regime only if it made credible steps toward giving up its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. “Most political people would never say that,” Trump said of his willingness to meet with the reclusive Kim, “but I’m telling you under the right circumstances I would meet with him. We have breaking news.” Asked later about Trump’s comments, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that “clearly conditions are not there right now” for a meeting. He said “we’ve got to see their provocative behavior ratcheted down.” North Korea has become the most urgent national security threat and foreign policy issue facing Trump as his first 100 days in office passed. Kim’s regime has continued development of its nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile program in defiance of international condemnation and sanctions. Military analysts have said North Korea is on course to develop a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile that could reach the U.S. mainland as soon as 2020, during Trump’s term in office. GRAPHIC: Kim Jong Un’s Big Nuclear Pitch Is Closing In on America Kim has never met with a foreign leader since taking charge after his father’s death in 2011 and hasn’t left his isolated country. Over more than two decades, six-nation talks, direct bilateral negotiations, food aid and UN sanctions have all failed to deter the Kim dynasty’s quest for a nuclear arsenal. That has left the Trump administration relying increasingly on China, North Korea’s neighbor and top trading partner, to exert pressure on the regime. While Trump didn’t spell out what conditions would have to be met for him to sit down with Kim, Evans Revere, a former U.S. diplomat in South Korea, said “it’s almost impossible to imagine North Korea meeting the conditions that would allow such a meeting to occur.” “North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty when it was caught cheating, violated every one of the denuclearization commitments it made, and now threatens the United States and its allies with nuclear weapons,” Revere, a senior adviser at the Albright Stonebridge Group in Washington, said in an email. “That’s hardly the basis for a presidential meeting with Kim Jong Un.” Tensions have escalated since Trump vowed in January that he wouldn’t let North Korea develop a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the U.S., and North Korea has labeled American military moves in the region as acts of “intimidation and blackmail.” North Korea has continued to test missiles this year after carrying out its fourth and fifth nuclear tests in a decade last year. Read how North Korea defies the world with nuclear ambitions -- a QuickTake While dispatching an aircraft carrier group and a submarine to the region, the Trump administration has emphasized the use of economic sanctions and diplomacy to persuade North Korea to curtail its nuclear program. Trump has said he’s encouraged by Chinese President Xi Jinping’s efforts to defuse the situation. Trump and Xi met last month at the U.S. president’s private club in Florida and have talked several times since. Then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was the last top U.S. official to meet with a North Korean leader. She discussed the country’s nuclear program with Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il, in 2000. At the time, she was the most senior official to visit the Stalinist state in the 50 years since the Korean War.

- President says it will be ‘every bit as good’ as Obamacare - GOP leaders mulling vote on health bill later this week President Donald Trump said Monday the Republican health-care bill being negotiated in Congress ultimately will protect Americans with pre-existing conditions as well as Obamacare does. “I want it to be good for sick people. It’s not in its final form right now," he said during an Oval Office interview Monday with Bloomberg News. "It will be every bit as good on pre-existing conditions as Obamacare." The latest version of the House GOP bill, which Republican leaders are trying to figure out whether they have the votes to pass this week, wouldn’t live up to that promise and would weaken those protections. A new amendment aimed at winning over conservative holdouts would allow states to apply for waivers from Obamacare’s requirements to provide certain essential health benefits if they are able to show that the modifications would cut prices. It also would allow states to sidestep the requirement that all consumers in a certain area must be charged the same rate for insurance, which would make plans significantly more expensive for those with pre-existing conditions. Trump repeated in the interview his contention that the Affordable Care Act is already disintegrating. “And Obamacare just so you know, Obamacare’s terrible on preexisting conditions, you know why? Cause you’re not going to have it,” he said. “It’s folding. It’s gone.” Reconsidering Floor Vote The GOP bill to repeal and replace Obamacare has stalled ever since leaders scrapped a planned floor vote in late March. After several embarrassing setbacks, Republican leaders, under pressure from the White House, spent much of last week weighing whether to hold a vote on the measure that included the new amendment, which was negotiated by New Jersey Representative Tom MacArthur and North Carolina Representative Mark Meadows, who chairs the House Freedom Caucus. Conservative holdouts endorsed the revised bill but a number of moderate Republicans remained opposed to the measure, making it unclear whether it had enough votes to pass. Vice President Mike Pence said in an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he hopes the House might act on a health-care bill soon. But he also said a final version from Congress might not be ready “before the end of the year" for Trump to sign. Two of Trump’s top aides, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, in interviews with CBS, both projected confidence Monday that it would. "This is going to be a great week – we’re going to get health care down to the floor of the House. We’re convinced we’ve got the votes," Cohn said. House Republicans are far less certain. There is no vote scheduled yet for this week and there are still not enough votes to pass a bill, a congressional aide said after Priebus’s and Cohn’s comments. While the new language won over some conservative holdouts, a number of moderate Republicans remain opposed. Leaders are continuing to work to get more votes on board and will schedule a vote for this week if they believe they have enough to pass a bill, the aide added.
