I suggest you contact the BBC as it's their headline.

(CNN)Iran threatened to shoot down two US Navy aircraft over the weekend as they were flying just inside the Strait of Hormuz, a US defense official said.

The EP-3 and P-8 planes were in international airspace but "near Iranian airspace."
The Iranians made three radio calls to the two planes warning them not to enter Iranian airspace and risk being shot down with surface-to-air missiles, the official said.
"All three calls used threatening language," the US defense official said.
The US Navy crews knew they were flying "outside the known range of Iranian air defenses" and proceeded with their flight plans.
The American crews "responded in an appropriate and calm manner," the official said, adding that the crews identified their planes themselves as coalition aircraft flying in international airspace.
The two planes -- reconnaissance aircraft that routinely fly that flight pattern in the Strait of Hormuz -- were on separate flight plans, but close to each other.
Also, senior US military officials are trying to assess whether the number of incidents with the Iranians have increased or whether more incidents are simply being reported by US naval commanders in the region because of the sensitivity to Iranian incidents.

Report finds racial wage gap widest in nearly 4 decades


WASHINGTON (AP) -- As wages for American workers have stagnated for more than a generation, the income gap between black and white workers has widened, and discrimination is the main reason for the persisting disparity, according to a new report.

The Economic Policy Institute also found that young black women are being hit the hardest. This gap remains even after controlling for factors like education, experience, or geography.

The wage gap today is "worse now than it was 36 years ago," said Valerie Wilson, director of the liberal-leaning think tank's Program on Race, Ethnicity and the Economy.

"For the most part, wages have been fairly flat since 2000, as have incomes and other economic measures," Wilson said. "As we've seen this overall stagnation, those racial disparities have grown."

According to the report released Tuesday, as of 2015, black men living in similar metropolitan areas and regions of the country make 22 percent less than white men with the same education and experience. For black women, the number is 34.2 percent less. Black women made 11.7 percent less than white women.

Since 1979, median hourly wage growth has fallen short of productivity growth for all workers, regardless of race or gender. Meanwhile, wages for black men and women have grown more slowly than for whites - resulting in the wage gap remaining unchanged or expanding in the decades that followed.

The report points to several reasons for the widening gap, while noting discrimination has consistently played a major role. Few black workers have the kinds of top-wage earning jobs that have seen the majority of growth during the studied period. The decline of unions - which have historically been helpful to black workers seeking income equality - has also contributed to the disparity.

And the report concludes that having a college degree worsens the gap, counter to the idea that education is the key to a more equal society.

While black male college graduates entering the workforce in the 1980s had less than a 10 percent disadvantage compared to whites, by 2014, similarly educated black men started their first jobs at a deficit of roughly 18 percent. The report also found that growing earnings inequality has impacted young black college-educated men and women's wage deterioration more in the years since the Great Recession than during any other period.

"Education unquestionably enhances mobility and increases wages, but what it does not do as effectively is eliminate racial disparities," said Wilson. "More education means higher wages, but it does not mean equal wages between blacks and whites as they ascend that ladder."

The report calls for several policy measures to address the wage gap, including consistently enforcing long-standing anti-discrimination laws in the hiring, promotion and pay of women and minorities; convening a summit to address why black college graduates start their careers at an earnings disadvantage; and raising the federal minimum wage.

So now we find out Obama was conversing with our beloved Cankle-Cow on her private email using a false name. :shock: Didn't he claim ignorance of Cankle's private email :?: :?: Does this give Obama a reason to try and sweep this all under the rug :?: :?:
