Putin has received yet another gift from Trump
If a fire alarm had been readily available in Helsinki's presidential palace, the first summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin might have ended with sirens and sprinklers. Fiona Hill, then a White House expert on Russian affairs, was so unnerved by Mr Trump's remarks at the joint press conference that she 'looked around to see if there was a fire alarm' to bring the 'terrible spectacle' to a sudden close. American officials might want to check out the fire alarms of the Alaskan venue where Mr Trump and Putin will meet on Aug 15, particularly as the stakes for this summit will be infinitely greater than they were at Helsinki in 2018. Back then, the two leaders had to deal with civil war in Syria and Russian interference in the US election in 2016. It was Mr Trump's public dismissal of own intelligence agencies' verdict on the latter subject that caused Ms Hill to consider halting an occasion that was 'mortifying' and 'humiliating for the country'. This time, the two presidents will be discussing Europe's bloodiest war since 1945 and if Putin can repeat the trick of making at least one American official feel mortified, he will be satisfied. Mr Trump has already given him plenty of reasons to feel even more pleased with himself than usual. Last week was supposed to be the moment when the president finally got tough and all of his exasperated outbursts about his Russian counterpart – 'crazy', 'disgusting', 'talking b-------' – would lead America to suffocate the Kremlin's revenues by enacting secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil.

San Diego Comic-Con reacts to confusing fire alarm announcement: 'Thank God Dexter's with us'
A security guard outside the convention center told EW that it was "mayhem" inside Hall H. Comic-Con is usually aflame with entertainment news, but on Friday, a fire alarm announcement sent the annual San Diego event into confusion. During a panel for Dexter: Resurrection, security made an announcement asking patrons to "remain calm" and await further instruction. The announcement was apparently in response to a fire alarm that went off, though attendees inside the panel and video indicated that no alarm could be heard. "I'm not calm," quipped moderator Jamie Chung, who appeared in Dexter: New Blood, to which star Michael C. Hall replied, "Thank God Dexter's with us." The crowd laughed in response and the panel carried on in spite of the interruption. A clip was being shown when another announcement noted that the alarm was "cleared by security" and the panel, which never actually paused, could resume. The clip did, however, lower the volume for the all-clear announcement. An Entertainment Weekly reporter waiting outside the Convention Center to enter an upcoming panel inside Hall H was held, along with the crowd, while the issue was resolved. A security guard told them, "It's mayhem in there," noting that they would need to wait a moment to enter the building. However, the reporter noted that at no point did there ever seem to be cause for serious alarm or did there appear to be any significant concern on the part of the security staff. One audience member told our reporter that they thought perhaps the fog machine used for effect during the Predator: Badlands panel was the culprit for the alarm. However, security later told the reporter that there was no smoke or fog machine causing an issue and that they believed the alarm was pulled as a prank. Security was instructed to insure guests remained calm as they moved to and from their seats. Besides confusion among the crowd and a brief delay turning over Hall H from one panel to the next, the alarm did not seem to cause any major disruption to Friday's out more of .
