After special counsel Robert Mueller, tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, refused to give a clean chit to the US President, Donald Trump launched a scathing tirade on Thursday. Mueller's remarks have emboldened Trump's critics and spurred talks of impeachment, even as the President continues to maintain his innocence, dismissing claims of collusion with Russia to be 'a complete hoax. "To me it's a dirty word, the word impeach. It's a dirty, filthy, disgusting word and it had nothing to do with me. So I don't think so because there was no crime," Trump said.

Indian and Chinese armies&nbsp;have moved&nbsp;heavy equipment and weaponry including artillery guns and combat vehicles to their rear bases close to the disputed areas in eastern Ladakh as the two militaries remained engaged in a bitter standoff along the troubled border for over 25 days, according to reports.&nbsp;The move by the two armies comes&nbsp;as both the countries continued their efforts to resolve the dispute through talks at military and diplomatic levels. Reports said satellite images have captured significant ramping up of defence infrastructure by China on its side of the de-facto border including construction activities at a military airbase around 180 kms from the Pangong Tso area.&nbsp;The Indian Army fiercely objected to the transgressions by the Chinese troops and demanded their immediate withdrawal for restoration of peace and tranquility in the area.

A SpaceX capsule carrying two NASA astronauts Robert L. Behnken and Douglas G. Hurley docked at the International Space Station on Sunday, after a historic launch that marked the first time humans had ever traveled to orbit in a spacecraft built and operated by a private company. Once the docking was completed, Mr. Hurley congratulated staff at SpaceX and NASA and said &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a real honor to be just a small part of this nine-year endeavor since the last time a United States spaceship has docked with the International Space Station.&rdquo; The docking indicated that the first portion of the test flight with crew aboard was successful. The trip will be considered a complete success once the astronauts return to Earth in the near future, opening the way for more travel to the space station and orbit by astronauts and perhaps space tourists in the years to come.

A SpaceX spacecraft carrying two NASA astronauts soared into outer space on Saturday &mdash; marking the first time humans have traveled into Earth's orbit from US soil in nearly a decade. The two astronauts will spend about 19 hours aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule as it slowly maneuvers its way toward the International Space Station. US President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were in Cape Canaveral to watch the launch. The United States hasn't launched its own astronauts into space since the Space Shuttle Program ended in 2011. Since then, NASA's astronauts have had to travel to Russia and train on the country's Soyuz spacecraft. The launch also marked the first time in history that a commercial aerospace company has carried humans into Earth's orbit. SpaceX has been working on the Crew Dragon spacecraft for 15 years.

The prototype, which was created by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers in just 37 days, received an emergency use&nbsp;authorisation&nbsp;from the US Food and Drug Administration on April 30. Called Ventilator Intervention Technology Accessible Locally,&nbsp;the high-pressure ventilator was designed to use one-seventh the parts of a traditional ventilator, relying on parts already available in the supply chains.&nbsp;It offers a simpler, more affordable option for treating critical patients while freeing up traditional ventilators for those with the most severe Covid-19 symptoms.
