There has been “positive identification of the ARA San Juan,” at a depth of 800 meters (2,600 feet), a statement on Twitter from the navy said.

The Seabed Constructor — a vessel owned by US search firm Ocean Infinity, which set out in September on the latest attempt to find the San Juan — found the missing sub.

The Ocean Infinity ship “decided to do a new search and, thanks to God, it was able to find the zone,” navy spokesman Rodolfo Ramallo told Todo Noticias TV.

“Now another chapter opens. From the analysis of the state in which the submarine has been found, we will see how to proceed,” he said.

The navy lost contact with the submarine on November 15 last year, about 450 kilometers (280 miles) from the Argentine coast. It was on its way back to base from Ushuaia at the southern tip of Argentina.

An air and sea search began 48 hours later involving units from 13 countries, but the majority withdrew before the end of 2017, as the wintry South Atlantic refused to give up its secrets.

This radio frequency certificate must then be submitted together with an insurance certificate and proof of tax payment to the department, which will then issue a registration document.

“We are now preparing the system and will publicly announce the details of the regulation in the near future. Our department is now ready to carry out the registration process for drone owners and give them an operating permit, which they need to have before they are allowed to fly a drone,” Mr Bounteng said.

The department has already registered 33 drones and 10 people have received an operating permit to use them in specific areas of the country.

After drone owners have registered, they are required to inform the department of the places where they intend to fly the drone, before they can actually put the drone into operation.

Operators and owners of the devices should also be competent in their use and know exactly how to control and fly them, as well as fully understanding the instruction manual. When the department is satisfied they have fulfilled these requirements, applicants will be given an operating permit, Mr Bounteng said.

“Flying a drone is like driving a vehicle, for which you need a driving licence and vehicle documents. We will soon hold a workshop with the police to inform them about the drone regulations. This means the police can check your drone in the same way they check your vehicle or your driving licence,” he added.

When the department has made the new regulation public, drone owners must apply for a registration document at the department if they didn’t want to have problems with the police, he said.

President of the Lao Insurance Association, Mr Holady Volarath, said “We don’t have an insurance product to cover drones because there are so few of them in Laos. But we will discuss the matter at our meeting next week and consider the viability of selling insurance policies and how we can comply with the regulations.”

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said the number of missing had soared from 631 on Thursday to 1,011 on Friday as more reports of missing were being sent in and as emergency calls made when the fire broke out on November 8 are being reviewed.

The eight additional victims brings to 71 the number of people who have died in the so-called Camp Fire.

Three other people have died in southern California in a another blaze dubbed the Woolsey fire.

Honea underlined that the list of missing was constantly fluctuating and it did not mean that all those on the list were presumed dead.

“I want you to understand that this is a dynamic list,” he said.

“The information I am providing you is raw data and we find there is the likely possibility that the list contains duplicate names,” he added.

May made a rare outing on a radio phone-in during which she faced a call to step down after a tumultuous Thursday in which ministers resigned and members of her own party plotted to oust her.

“I truly believe this is the best deal for Britain,” May said of the proposed EU withdrawal agreement, adding that she was “very sorry” that ministers including Brexit secretary Dominic Raab had quit.

All eyes were on Environment Secretary Michael Gove, the highest-profile pro-Brexit campaigner left standing in May’s cabinet, to see whether he would follow others out the door.

But a source close to Gove, a Vote Leave figurehead in the 2016 referendum on Britain’s European Union membership, said the minister would remain in his post “to ensure the best outcome for the country”.

Many media outlets reported that Gove had been offered the position of Brexit secretary.

May told LBC radio she had a “very good conversation” with Gove and would be appointing a new Brexit chief “over the next day or so”.

“I don’t want to see any of my cabinet colleagues who’ve been doing a good job in the cabinet feeling the need to resign,” she added.

– ‘Stand down’ –

One caller, a local councillor in her centre-right Conservative Party, urged May to “do the right thing in the national interest and stand down”.

She also faced comparisons with prime minister Neville Chamberlain and his 1938 appeasement of Nazi Germany’s dictator Adolf Hitler.

“We are not going to be locked in forever to something that we don’t want,” May insisted.

Brexiteer MPs fear the deal would keep Britain shackled to the Brussels, while EU supporters say it would leave the UK on worse terms than it has inside the bloc and are calling for a second Brexit referendum to break the logjam.

May could yet face a vote of no confidence from her own MPs.

Conservative lawmaker Jacob Rees-Mogg, the high-profile leader of the Brexit hardline European Research Group, submitted a letter of no-confidence on Thursday.

At least 48 letters from Conservative MPs are required to trigger a vote of no confidence in the party leader. But a majority of the party’s 315 lawmakers would have to vote against May in order for her to be ousted — and if she wins, she cannot be challenged for 12 months.

– Allies back away –

May’s Conservatives do not have a majority in parliament’s lower House of Commons and MPs from all sides lined up in the chamber on Thursday to say her draft deal would be voted down, satisfying neither Brexiteers nor pro-EU loyalists.

The Conservatives rely on Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party for a slim majority but the DUP are prepared to vote against the deal, fearing it splits the province off from the rest of the UK in order to prevent a hard land border with the Republic of Ireland.

Asked whether DUP leader Arlene Foster had withdrawn her party’s backing, May said: “I haven’t had a testy exchange with Arlene on that” and insisted the DUP’s overall support for the government was still intact.

The 585-page draft deal aims to ensure a smooth divorce from the EU after more than four decades of membership and outlines a transition period for both sides.

Key provisions seek to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, protect citizens’ rights and settle Britain’s last bill.

The pound steadied versus the euro and rose against the dollar, having been hammered on Thursday over the Brexit turbulence.

Sterling was up 0.4 percent at $1.2822 in morning trading, while one euro was worth 88.61 pence.

London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index gained 0.5 percent to 7,071.59 points.

EU member states have until Tuesday to examine the deal and to agree the wording of a parallel political statement setting out goals for the bloc’s future relations with London.

A special EU summit to seal the hard-fought Brexit agreement will be held on November 25.

Friday’s sentencing is the first time the charge of genocide was ever levied against any senior leader of the ultra-Maoist regime, which left an estimated two million Cambodians dead during its four-year reign of terror.

Here is a look back at some key moments in the historic trial.

– Referred to court –

After years of preparation and investigation, on January 13, 2011 four senior leaders are referred to the war crimes tribunal set up on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, formally called the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC).

They are “Brother Number Two” Nuon Chea, rumoured to be the second-in-command to Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot; head of state Khieu Samphan; foreign minister Ieng Sary; and his wife, Ieng Thirith, who was the social affairs minister during the regime.

She is released the following year, suffering from dementia, while Ieng Sary dies in detention in 2013 at the age of 87.

The trial begins on June 27, 2011 but facing criticism that it would take too long, the judges decide three months later to split the proceedings into two: a first “mini-trial” which will focus on “crimes against humanity”; and the second on charges of “genocide”.

– ‘Not bad people’ –

The end of 2011 is marked by memorable testimony by the two defendants.

Khieu Samphan in November hits back at the prosecution for telling “fairy tales” about the Khmer Rouge, insisting that most Cambodians supported the brutal regime.

A month later, Nuon Chea — regarded as the chief ideologue for the movement — says the Khmer Rouge were not “bad people” or criminals.

“I don’t want the next generations to misunderstand history,” he tells the court on December 5, 2011. “Nothing is true about that.”

– Life imprisonment –

Nuon Chea on May 30, 2013 shows the first signs of remorse when he admits he must “take responsibility for the damage” done to Cambodia and expresses his “deepest condolences”.

Yet the truculent defendant stops short of admitting guilt to the charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, denying any knowledge when it came to the regime’s worst atrocities.

Earlier that month Khieu Samphan offered a “sincere apology” but attempted to distance himself from the regime’s actions, saying he was unaware of his fellow Cambodians’ suffering.

The following year on August 8, 2014, the two are found “guilty of crimes against humanity or extermination … political persecution and other inhumane acts” and jailed for life — a sentence that causes survivors to burst into applause as they weep after a 35-year wait for justice.

– Genocide –

The second “mini-trial” begins July 30, 2014, examining the charges of genocide of ethnic Vietnamese and Muslim Cham minorities. Controversially, these charges do not cover the mass killings of Khmers by Khmers, as the United Nations does not consider that to be genocide.

In September 2016, witnesses testify to how Cham Muslims were mistreated, forced to eat pork and banned from speaking their language while copies of the Koran were burned by Khmer Rouge cadres.

It is estimated that 100,000 to 500,000 Cham Muslims and 20,000 Vietnamese were murdered under the regime.

After almost 300 days of trial of this second “mini” case, June 23, 2017 is the last day of hearing. Over three years, more than 100 witnesses took the stand to denounce the regime’s practice of forced marriages, rape, and mass killings.

On November 16, 2018, the two are sentenced to life in prison on charges of genocide.

The tribunal issues a landmark verdict stating that Nuon Chea is guilty for all crimes perpetrated during the Khmer Rouge regime, given his senior role as second-in-command to Pol Pot.

Khieu Samphan is found guilty of genocide against the ethnic Vietnamese, but not of Cham Muslims.

Prosecutors revealed the existence of the sealed indictment inadvertently in a court filing in an unrelated case, WikiLeaks said.

The exact nature of the charges against Assange was not immediately known.

“SCOOP: US Department of Justice ‘accidentally’ reveals existence of sealed charges (or a draft for them) against WikiLeaks’ publisher Julian Assange in apparent cut-and-paste error in an unrelated case also at the Eastern District of Virginia,” Wikileaks wrote on Twitter.

The still unsealed charges against Assange were disclosed by Assistant US Attorney Kellen Dwyer as she made a filing in the unrelated case and urged a judge to keep that filing sealed.

Dwyer wrote, “due to the sophistication of the defendant and the publicity surrounding the case, no other procedure is likely to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged,” according to The Washington Post.

Later, Dwyer wrote the charges would “need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested.”

US media were alerted late Thursday to the inadvertent disclosure thanks to a tweet from Seamus Hughes, deputy director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. He is known to follow court filings closely.
