Melania Trump is set to be a long-distance first lady

She was an elusive figure in the campaign, had no political experience before her husband's stunningly successful outsider campaign A long-distance   first lady   will be one of the many different things about Donald Trump's administration. Breaking with tradition, Melania Trump and 10-year-old son Barron will remain in New York City until the end of the school year, after the new president moves into the   White House on January 20.

US opens up skies for commercial drone operators

US opens up skies for commercial drone operators The   Federal Aviation Administration   has unveiled long-awaited new rules that clear the way for small, commercial   drones   to operate across   US   airspace – but don't expect an aerial delivery from Amazon just yet. Under the FAA's rules, drone operators will be allowed to fly commercial craft weighing less than 25 kilograms during daylight hours, provided they can maintain a clear view of the drone at all times. While that effectively precludes the sort of robo-delivery services being developed by Amazon and other major vendors, the new rules will nonetheless ensure drones become increasingly commonplace in the skies. Drone operators no longer need a full pilot's license. Now, they must only be 16 years old, vetted by the Transportation Security Administration and able to pass an FAA test for a two-year certification. Previously, commercial drone users had to apply for waivers to operate ...

The  White House  has expressed doubts over North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s claim that the country had developed hydrogen bomb. According to News.com.au, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said that they are concerned about North Korea’s “destabilising actions” but added that available information “calls into serious question” on claims that Pyongyang has a thermonuclear device. During a recent inspection tour of a historical military site, Kim mentioned that North Korea was already a “powerful nuclear weapons state ready to detonate self-reliant A-bomb and H-bomb to reliably defend its sovereignty.” Earlier, North Korea has tested three atom bombs, which rely on nuclear fission. Kim said in a speech marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the ruling communist Workers’ Party on October 10, that he is prepared to wage war against the US if necessary.
