FBI Director Christopher Wray called Russia a “365 days a year” threat while speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations near the White House on Friday, but said that federal agencies, social media companies and election officials have made “enormous strides” since the 2016 presidential election.
Still, he warned that Russia has continued its efforts to sow division in the U.S., with 2018 having been a “dress rehearsal” for 2020.

FDA approves new drug for women with low sexual desire disorder

Health News : The US Food and Drug Administration approved a drug to return sexual desire to some women with low libido, the agency said Friday. The drug, bremelanotide, sold under the brand name Vyleesi by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, is an injection to be taken before sex. It’s intended to treat women who are premenopausal and have hypoactive sexual desire disorder, where a lack of interest in sex may cause significant distress in a woman’s life.

Theresa May’s successor as prime minister should not call a general election until Brexit is completed, a cabinet minister has warned. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said an early election risked losing to Labour and “killing Brexit altogether”. His comments come after cross-party talks aimed at breaking the impasse collapsed on Friday. Meanwhile, a poll of Tory members for The Times puts Boris Johnson as the favourite to succeed Mrs May. Mr Hancock told the Daily Telegraph it would be a “disaster” to call a general election before the UK had left the EU as “people don’t want it”. He added: “We need to take responsibility for delivering on the referendum result.” “Who knows what the outcome of a general election would be under these circumstances? A general election before that not only risks Jeremy Corbyn, but it risks killing Brexit altogether.” Mrs May has promised to set a timetable for leaving Downing Street following a House of Commons vote on her EU Wi...
