Reinforcing the worldwide perception of the U.S. as “a bully and a hegemon” that will not tolerate attempts by the global community to hold it accountable for its deadly actions overseas, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton is set to deliver a speech on Monday that will reportedly threaten International Criminal Court (ICC) officials with sanctions if they dare to move ahead with probes into U.S. or Israeli war crimes.

“Afghans have been waiting decades for justice for war crimes, including some allegedly committed by U.S. forces. The ⁦ICC⁩ is the only hope they have for justice at the moment. Trump is determined to take that away.”
—Heather Barr, Human Rights Watch

“The United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court,” Bolton will say at an event hosted by the right-wing Federalist Society, according to a speech draft viewed by Reuters. “If the court comes after us, Israel, or other allies, we will not sit quietly.”

To deter ICC officials from investigating American actions in the 17-year-long Afghanistan war, Bolton will reportedly outline a plan to hit all who cooperate with the probe with economic sanctions and a ban on travel to the U.S.

“Afghans have been waiting decades for justice for war crimes, including some allegedly committed by U.S. forces,” Heather Barr, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, wrote in response to the White House’s plans. “The ⁦ICC⁩ is the only hope they have for justice at the moment. Trump is determined to take that away. Bon courage.”

Citing anonymous Trump administration officials, the Washington Post reported that Bolton is also expected to announce that the U.S. is “shutting down a Palestinian diplomatic office in Washington because Palestinians have sought to use the international court to prosecute U.S. ally Israel.”

Jamil Dakwar, director of ACLU’s human rights program, wrote on Twitter that the move would be yet “another low point” for an administration that has been explicit in its disdain for international diplomacy and its unwavering support for Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestinian territory.

Refusing to let a chance to achieve lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula slip away and warning against “return to a rhetoric of nuclear annihilation,” a group of peace activists, foreign policy experts, and ordinary Koreans gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Seoul on Friday to call on President Donald Trump to reverse his cancellation of the June summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and immediately return to the negotiating table.

“I do worry that Mr. Trump has made things more dangerous for us in Korea and I just hope that no-one pushes the button.”
—Anonymous North Korean woman

“The people of both North and South Korea, and especially women, have worked too long and have come too close to reaching the first steps towards the signing of a Peace treaty to see the talks collapse,” Christine Ahn, Korea expert and founder of Women Cross DMZ, said in a statement on Thursday. “We know that a diplomacy can be difficult. However, peace in the Korean Peninsula cannot have any more setbacks. It’s been too long. It has been overdue more than 70 years.”

Trump’s announcement that the scheduled summit will not take place was met with dismay by both North and South Koreans.

“You can’t imagine rooting for peace for so long and then see it being taken away,” a woman who fled North Korea in 2006 said in an interview with the BBC on Friday.

Another North Korean, whose name was not revealed to protect her identity, told the BBC “we can’t give up on the idea of peace in Korea yet.”

“I do worry that Mr. Trump has made things more dangerous for us in Korea and I just hope that no-one pushes the button,” she added.

Responding to Trump’s abrupt decision cancel to the planned meeting with Kim on Thursday—which many experts blamed on the White House national security adviser and top warmonger John Bolton—North Korean officials signaled once again a willingness to negotiate with the U.S. and said their “commitment to doing our best for the sake of peace and stability for the world and the Korean Peninsula remains unchanged.”

Like all siblings, Liam and Chris Hemsworth love to pick on each other. 

And lucky for us, the duo utilize social media as their playground for taking jabs, with Liam’s latest post ranking high atop our list of best birthday messages ever. The Hunger Games actor took to Instagram to send well wishes to big brother Chris for his special day. Naturally, hilarity ensued.

“Happy birthday Chrisso! Love u ya massive jerk 😉 xox @chrishemsworth #bathtime #rubberducky,” Liam captioned a shot of the Thor star, shirtless and in a pool with a rubber duck. Seriously, where do these two come up with this comedic gold?

The jokes continued in the comments section, where Chris’s Avengers co-star Jeremy Renner joined in on the fun. “Bday bubbles for ol Hemi…. Cheers my man!!!” he commented.

Someone is expecting a visit from the Tooth Fairy pretty soon. Pink’s daughter Willow has a loose tooth, and as you’d imagine, she’s pretty excited about it.

Willow is currently on tour with Pink, which means she’s exploring what road life is all about. Lucky for her, the Tooth Fairy happens to be a pretty big fan of Pink and will be able to locate the 6-year-old even while she’s not at home.

In the video shared by the singer on Instagram, Willow explains her strategy for losing her tooth. Father Carey Hart offered to pull it out with dental floss, but that’s not method she’s hoping for.

Not many kids have the opportunity to lose their tooth while on tour in London. Willow was on a tight schedule to make it happen. (But we’re sure that losing it in another fabulous city would be equally cool. These things require patience.)

The tooth loss is definitely a big milestone for Willow, who is growing so fast before our very eyes. Just last year, she competed in her very first bike race—so it’s safe to say she’s following in her father’s footsteps.

Of course, Pink isn’t letting Willow have all the fun in London. As you can see in the video, Pink also made sure her brand new baby boy, Jameson, got to fully experience the tour bus.

Little Jameson was born the day after Christmas last year, and he might just be Pink’s tiniest (and cutest) fan. While he still has some time before he starts losing (and, well, gaining) teeth, we’re sure that Willow will give him some professional advice when it happens.

As for Pink, she’ll be back in the States soon enough. She has a show in Illinois at the start of September, and also has dates lined up in California and Las Vegas.

We knew it was a great place to work, but the benefits are way greater than being around coffee all day. Starbucks is helping employees struggling with infertility by covering in vitro fertilization—even for part time employees.

Let’s discuss the facts. Around one in eight couples have trouble getting pregnant. And while solutions exist, they can often be very costly and very emotionally taxing. According to an article featured on Forbes.com, a “fresh” cycle of IVF can run around $12,000, and that’s before medications, which add a few more thousand onto the total. Frozen transfers are a bit cheaper, but the bill still comes to a few thousand. Keep in mind, it doesn’t always work the first cycle. In fact, for most couples, it doesn’t.

Barista Shannon Iagulli had trouble conceiving, and spoke to CBS News about how her job at Starbucks helped change things around.

“You go through your life hearing you grow up, you fall in love, you get married, you have kids so it doesn’t happen, you don’t understand. Why is my body not doing it,” Iagulli said. “And that’s where Starbucks came in.”

Starbucks offers up $20,000 to help cover both IVF and the medications involved.

The benefit is so great that lady baristas across the country have formed their own support group about going through IVF treatment.

Iagulli told CBS that thanks to Starbucks, she gave birth to two children—who will probably be growing up with a ton of Starbucks merch. We’re so happy that the company knows how important covering IVF can be.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is baring her bump.

Sigler and Cutter announced they were expecting their second child together in July, with Sigler posting a photo on Instagram of five pregnancy tests that all read “Pregnant.”

In late July, the couple’s son helped reveal that they were expecting another boy in an adorable video they posted to Instagram.

Angelina Jolie made her surprise stop at the Telluride Film Festival a family affair on Saturday when she brought along her six children to the event.

The actress-turned-director posed for photos alongside all of her children — Maddox, 16; Pax, 13; Zahara, 12; Shiloh 11, and 9-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. The children were all casually dressed while Jolie wore a white long-sleeved dress with beaded detailing.

Jolie, 42, was at the Colorado film festival to premiere her new film, First They Killed My Father, which she directed, produced and co-wrote. The film is based on Cambodian human rights activist Loung Ung’s memoir, which documents her experience as a young girl under the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge.

Jolie and her family were joined by Ung, the film’s young stars Sareum Srey Moch (who plays Ung) and Kimhak Mun.

The film — which premieres on Netflix on Sept. 15 — holds special meaning for Jolie and her family as her eldest son, Maddox, was born in Cambodia. The 16-year-old even got involved in the production of the film, serving as an executive producer and helping Jolie review multiple drafts of the film. (Her second eldest son, Pax, also served as an on-set photographer for the film.)

Jolie has been vocal about how Maddox motivated her to adapt First They Killed My Father.

“I wanted my son to know who his countrymen are,” she said in a q and a after the screening, according to Vanity Fair.

She also related the film to conflicts in the present day. “You see a vacuum, a rise in extremism, misinformation… little girls feeling like they’re completely left alone,” Jolie said, adding that in the film, “I hope what you see is… how people come through, all the little Luongs out there.”

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen, both 36, have reportedly called it quits on their relationship of nearly 10 years.

According to E! News, the couple are living in separate countries—with Christensen in Toronto and Bilson in L.A.—they split officially split “within the last few weeks,” a high school friend to Bilson told the outlet.

“It was a gradual buildup of issues and problems. They were in agreement it was time to move on as a couple,” the source told E!

The low-key actor couple welcomed a daughter, Briar Rose, in October of 2014 and has since kept their family life almost entirely private.

In La Palme’s summer 2017 issue, the O.C. alum and recent cover girl reminisced about meeting Christensen on the set of Jumper. “That was an amazing experience,” she shared. “It was the most precious time. We were shooting in Italy and inside the [Colosseum] … The role was fulfilling, but also everything was fulfilling as a life experience, it was one of the best times.”

When asked whether she planned to have more children, Bilson admitted she wasn’t sure. “I want to be happy and content,” she continued. “All the life B.S. that happens doesn’t matter. You want to be happy, you want your kid to be happy and you want everyone in your life to be healthy and happy.”
