Morning news brief: Russia-Iran's potential nuclear secret deal; Haiti fuel tank explosion, and more

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) does&nbsp;not&nbsp;expect to resume talks with the US&nbsp;about a multi-billion dollar deal for F-35 warplanes, irrespective of who is elected to the White House in November, a senior&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;government official said on Saturday.

Reuters reported on Friday that the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;was&nbsp;planning to resume negotiations to purchase F-35s and armed drones if Donald Trump wins a second presidential term, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Trump had signed off on a deal to allow the purchase to go ahead in the final days of his presidency in 2021, but the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;suspended talks at the end of that year, unable to agree terms with the Biden administration.

The&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;has long sought the most advanced fighter jet, built with stealth technology allowing it to evade enemy detection.

If the US did approve the transfer, the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;would be only the second Middle East state, after Israel, to operate F-35s.

"Our position remains unchanged and we do&nbsp;not&nbsp;anticipate discussions regarding the F-35 being reopened for the foreseeable future, irrespective of the outcome of the upcoming&nbsp;US&nbsp;elections," the senior&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;official said in a statement to Reuters.

Three US citizens are among 37 defendants sentenced to death by a military court on Friday for their role in a May failed coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Armed men briefly occupied an office of the presidency in the capital Kinshasa on May 19 before their leader, US-based Congolese politician Christian Malanga, was killed by security forces.&nbsp;

His son, Marcel Malanga, was among the Americans on trial, along with Marcel's friend, Tyler Thompson, who played high school football with him in Utah. Both are in their 20s.

The third American, Benjamin Zalman-Polun, was a business associate of Christian Malanga.

All three were found guilty of criminal conspiracy, terrorism, and other charges, and sentenced to death in a ruling read on live TV.&nbsp;

In Washington, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said embassy staff had attended the proceedings and would continue to follow developments closely.

A virus that has killed superworms across the United States has been discovered by scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. The discovery has been reported in an article in Cell. This has led scientists&nbsp;to devise a method to identify emerging viruses and pathogens in plants, animals, and humans.

The Zophobas morio black wasting virus has been named after a species of darkling beetle, Zophobas morio, as it has a deadly effect on these insects. The beetle, during its larval stage, appears as large, brown superworms as it emerges from the eggs. They were called “superworm” because the two-inch-long-larvae are bigger than others that are grown as feed.

Jason Kaelber, study author and an associate research professor at the Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine (IQB) at Rutgers-New Brunswick, made the discovery by coming together with Judit Penzes, the first author of the study and a postdoctoral associate at IQB.

Over a year ago, beetle farm owners contacted Penzes because the superworms were mysteriously dying. A molecular virologist, Penzes had earlier isolated a virus that was killing crickets.

<h2>Pet store owners gave her the worms</h2>

She started collecting superworms at pet stores in New Jersey. She went to the feeder insect sections of the stores and checked out the worms. “They were all infected. I told the owners of the stores what I was seeing that I was researching this virus, and asked if I could have the container. They were immediately on board. They told me to take as many as I needed.”

She brought them back to the lab and blended them up. She then processed this slurry of beetle juice using a virus purification method that separates the virus out. Then when she focused a fluorescent light, the virus glowed blue.

“I said, ‘I got you,’ when I saw it,” Penzes said. “I knew then it was, indeed, a virus.”

To learn more about the virus, she worked with Kaelber and examined the virus using a cryo-electron microscope. Upon further inspection, they found that the virus is similar to the one affecting cockroaches, but not identical.

“It’s a new one, different from anything that’s been sequenced or imaged before,” Penzes said.

The two are now devising a vaccine after testing a way to protect the Z. morio beetles from disease.

Elon Musk shared a TikTok video&nbsp;purportedly featuring a woman of&nbsp;Haitian descent&nbsp;sharing reasons why Haitians eat cats. This comes after former United States president and Republican nominee&nbsp;Donald Trump made claims during the presidential&nbsp;debate with Vice President and Democratic hopeful Kamala Harris, saying that illegal immigrants from Haiti were eating pets in a&nbsp;city in the US state of Ohio.

Musk, who has endorsed Trump ahead of the US presidential election, shared the post after several media outlets were fact-checking claims made by the former president.&nbsp;

The woman, named Rebekah Faidia on TikTok, also speaks about the 'voodoo' practices in Haiti, describing them as "truly demonic". She said that her father immigrated from Haiti to the US in the late 1960s as a teenager.&nbsp;

Noting that the majority of the island does practice voodoo, she said, "My father and I are now estranged, but I did know him in my very, very young years. When he immigrated, he was one person, and they weren't sending thousands of Haitians to one area...he said that the majority of the island does practice voodoo."&nbsp;

She further said that Haitians eat cats for two reasons, survival and animal sacrifices for the religion.&nbsp;

"This is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. You can't just go to a food bank like you can here (in the US)... People in the US have a really hard time imagining that type of thing, but it is true. Second, they do animal sacrifices for their religion, voodoo. They make these animal sacrifices to these gods for different reasons," she said.&nbsp;

Faidia,&nbsp;defending the former president, said, "It is not racist" to acknowledge the problem, adding that everyone just wants to joke about Trump saying this rather than actually checking if this is real.&nbsp;

"You all just want to joke about Trump and say that he's crazy for saying that this is happening instead of actually checking at all to see if this is happening," she added.&nbsp;

This comes after Trump,&nbsp;during his debate with Democratic nominee&nbsp;Harris, claimed&nbsp;that illegal Haitian immigrants in Ohio were "eating dogs and pets".&nbsp;

Right after saying this, he was immediately fact-checked by the debate moderators, who said that there was no proof of that.&nbsp;
