Raiders receive four compensatory draft picks

By
The Raiders were awarded four compensatory picks Friday in the upcoming NFL Draft, giving them 11 selections in total. All four compensatory picks are in the sixth round.

Compensatory picks are awarded to teams who lost more high-value free agents the previous year than they signed. The Raiders were one of four teams to receive a league-high four picks, along with the Bengals, Cowboys and Packers.

The compensatory picks are overall No. 210, 212, 216 and 217. The Raiders now have six sixth-round picks, including their own and the pick they received from Seattle in the Marshawn Lynch trade. They do not have a fifth-round pick, having traded it to the Seahawks for Lynch.The Raiders will either pick 9th or 10th in the draft depending on the outcome of a coin flip with the 49ers. The Bay Area teams finished with 6-10 records and identical strength of schedule. The Boston Globe reported Friday that the coin flip will take place March 2 at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

The outcome of the flip will determine the draft order in later rounds.

After Park, former South Korean President Lee summoned over bribery allegations

By
South Korean prosecutors have called former President Lee Myung-bak to appear for questioning over allegations he took bribes when in office, a prosecutor said on Tuesday in the latest top-level political corruption scandal to rock the country. Prosecutors last month sought a 30-year jail term for former President Park Geun-hye, Lee's successor, who was ousted last year amid an influence-peddling scandal and is standing trial on charges of bribery, abuse of power and coercion. Lee was asked to present himself for questioning on March 14, the senior prosecutor said. "We must question (Lee) to reveal the truth", the prosecutor told reporters. "We expect him to show up since we gave sufficient time for him to prepare for the questioning". Lee has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation into the bribery allegations, summoning his family and confidants and raiding their homes and offices, politically motivated.

We're open to work with Britain over incident involving ex-agent

By
The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was ready to cooperate if Britain asks it for help investigating an incident involving a former Russian double agent who fell ill after exposure to an unknown substance. Sergei Skripal, once a colonel in Russia's GRU military intelligence service, was critically ill in hospital on Tuesday after he was exposed to an unidentified substance in southern England. "Nobody has approached us with such a request," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters, when asked if the British authorities had been in touch seeking help. "Moscow is always open for cooperation." When asked to respond to British media speculation that Russia had poisoned Skripal, Peskov said: "It didn't take them long." Calling the incident "a tragic situation," he said the Kremlin did not have information about what had happened. Source :- yahoonews
