| Austria terror attacker ‘pretended he had given up jihadism’ Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:07 AM PST Kujtim Fejzulai deceived mentors in deradicalisation programme, minister says An Islamic State-supporting gunman who killed four people and injured 23 others in an attack in central Vienna on Monday night deliberately "deceived" his mentors in a deradicalisation programme to feign a renunciation of jihadism, Austria's interior minister has said. The 20-year-old dual Austrian and North Macedonian citizen, named as Kujtim Fejzulai, was shot dead by police nine minutes after opening fire in the Austrian capital's first district at 8pm.

| France considers envoy to explain Macron's ideas to Muslim states Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:00 PM PST Move comes amid backlash over president's views on secularism and freedom of expression France is looking at appointing a special envoy to explain Emmanuel Macron's thinking on secularism and freedom of expression in a bid to quell the anti-French backlash growing in some Muslim countries, officials have said. The growth in anti-French sentiment also has the potential to deepen the already entrenched conflict between Macron and Turkey over Libya and oil exploration in the eastern Mediterranean.

| Australia calls for China to 'play by the rules' after reports of multibillion-dollar trade bans Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:57 PM PST Trade minister says businesses need clarity after reports many Australian exports will be stopped at customs from Friday The Morrison government has called on China to come clean on whether a range of Australian export sectors worth billions of dollars a year will face new curbs from Friday amid increasing tensions between the two countries. Australian wine exporters have reported hearing advice from their import partners in China that "no product will be cleared through customs from Friday, so please don't send any more shipments until this matter is cleared up", said the chief executive of Australian Grape and Wine, Tony Battaglene.

| Giant Antarctic iceberg on collision course with British territory of South Georgia Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:37 PM PST Fears the 150km long A-68A iceberg, which broke away from Larsen C ice shelf in 2017, could disrupt wildlife and shipping routes A massive Antarctic iceberg the size of a small country is heading for the island of South Georgia with concerns it could disrupt the British territory's economy and its wildlife. Iceberg A-68A broke off the Larsen C ice shelf on the east of Antarctica's peninsula in July 2017 and is about the same size as South Georgia, where it's feared it could be heading.

| NZ website withdraws author's works after she criticises Māori foreign minister Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:13 PM PST Writer suggested it was inappropriate for new foreign minister Nanaia Mahuta to have a moko kauae, or sacred facial tattoo A major New Zealand website has pulled the books of a local author after she made comments about the country's incoming foreign minister, Nanaia Mahuta, that many considered offensive. Mahuta is the first woman to be appointed to the role of foreign minister and the second-ever Māori person. Continue reading... |
| Heard lost public sympathy for standing up against Depp assaults, says QC Posted: 03 Nov 2020 12:41 PM PST Abused women expected to be 'meek and subservient' to receive public sympathy, says QC Amber Heard's stand against Johnny Depp's assaults should not have deprived her of public sympathy for suffering the ordeal of domestic violence, a leading human rights lawyer has said. Heard was subjected to death threats and misogynistic attacks on social media during the libel trial that left her feeling "down and beleaguered", according to Helena Kennedy QC, who met Heard while the case was before the high court.

| Fate of climate crisis hangs on election as US exits Paris agreement Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:19 AM PST Trump administration set US withdrawal in motion a year ago but it didn't take effect until 4 November The United States on Wednesday officially became the only country in the world refusing to participate in global climate efforts, with the fate of the crisis hanging on the still uncalled presidential election. Donald Trump as of Wednesday has withdrawn the US from the Paris climate agreement, an international pact to try to avert dangerous temperature increases that are already leading to more extreme weather and threaten to shrink world food supplies, force millions to flee their homes and deprive many of basic human rights. Trump's administration set the US exit in motion a year ago, but it didn't automatically take effect until 4 November. Continue reading... |

| Stock markets gripped by US election race – business live Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:43 AM PST Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news
Stocks are now turning higher in Europe, as investors digest the situation. The FTSE 100's now up 35 points, or 0.6%, to a new one-week high of 5828 points. The result of the US election is still uncertain but the 'Biden reflation trade', which had been increasingly priced in by markets, is already starting to unwind as investors reassess risk. Markets had been set up for a decisive victory for Biden and the Democrats. Many investors had been long commodities, short US dollar, and short US Treasuries in the hope that higher fiscal stimulus under a unified Democratic presidency and Congress would fuel growth and reflation.
Here are the best and worst-performing sectors on the FTSE 100 this morning, as investors react to the US election. 'With Donald Trump already claiming victory even though millions of votes are still uncounted, investors may have to belt up and brace themselves for some volatile sessions of trading ahead. So far, as trading has got underway in Europe, investors seem to be adopting a wait and see approach, as it is likely to be many hours and possibly days before all states tally all the ballots. With a high number more votes cast this year, and many more by mail because of the coronavirus, the process could be long and protracted. Continue reading... |
| Wings and a prayer: Thai Airways launches 'sacred' flight over Buddhist sites Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:34 PM PST Airline's latest scheme to boost its income follows sale of bags made from life vests Thai Airways has launched a special flight that will cruise over 99 holy sites, allowing passengers to chant Buddhist mantras from the sky, in its latest attempt to boost its revenue. The airline was struggling even before the coronavirus pandemic, and the closure of Thailand's borders has been a devastating blow. Continue reading... |

| UK can expect at least three Covid waves with lockdowns, Mordaunt says Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:22 AM PST Tory MP defends strategy as rebels warn they will not vote to extend latest restrictions The UK should be braced for at least a third wave of the coronavirus pandemic and further lockdowns, a minister has said as Tory sceptics warned they would not vote to extend England's four-week shutdown. Penny Mordaunt, the paymaster general, told MPs on Tuesday that there could yet be a rolling series of lockdowns – but argued this was not evidence that the measure was ineffective.

| Rich states' Covid deals 'may deprive poor of vaccine for years' Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:21 AM PST Wealthy countries already have agreements for 3.73bn doses, with another 5bn under negotiation, study finds Governments in predominantly wealthy countries are negotiating to buy nearly 8.8bn doses of prospective Covid-19 vaccines in a "frenzy of deals" that could mean many poor countries would not get access to immunisation until at least 2024, a report says. None of the 320-plus potential vaccines in development have been approved for use, but countries have already struck advance purchasing agreements for 3.73bn doses of the most promising candidates, with negotiations underway for another 5bn doses, the study by Duke University's global health innovation centre calculated.

| Birx warns US entering ‘deadly phase’ of Covid, contradicting Trump’s message Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:52 AM PST Deborah Birx says 'we are entering the most concerning and most deadly phase' as Trump claims US is 'rounding the corner' White House scientific adviser Dr Deborah Birx warned the United States is entering a new "deadly phase" of the coronavirus pandemic, and urged an "aggressive" approach to containing its spread. Birx gave the warning in a written memo delivered to top administration officials Monday. It is a direct contradiction of one of Donald Trump's central, and false, closing campaign messages – that the US is "rounding the corner" on the pandemic. Continue reading... |
| ‘She was gangsta with her clothes’: How Princess Diana became 2020’s biggest style icon Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:00 PM PST Her image is everywhere – in the return of The Crown, a Hollywood film, musical and emulated on the cover of Vogue. For the younger generation, there is no greater fashion inspiration right now Until this spring, the defining experience of shared grief and loss in living British memory could be summed up in one word: Diana. The sea of flowers outside Kensington palace. The outpouring of emotion that recalibrated a country's self-image. The cultural and political shock waves that threatened the monarchy. And the sickening jolt that comes with finding that the world can turn itself upside down without a moment's notice. Now, in this strange season of death, Diana is about to make a return to our national life. The fourth season of The Crown has already put Princess Diana back in Vogue. But there is also a documentary to mark the 25th anniversary of her death, and a Hollywood film, Spencer, in the works, in which Kristen Stewart plays the princess. Netflix has also announced the Diana musical is to be filmed and broadcast next year. While in real life, the row over her interview with Martin Bashir has reignited, with Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, calling for a formal inquiry into how it was secured. Continue reading... |
| Wombat's deadly bums: how they use their 'skull-crushing' rumps to fight, play and flirt Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:35 PM PST Research offers insights into marsupial's rearguard defences and 'brutal' mating rituals Australia is known for its strange and deadly wildlife, with plenty of attention given to venomous snakes and bird-eating spiders. But it seems one terrifying aspect of outback fauna has been thoroughly ignored: the wombat's deadly bum. The rump of the wombat is hard as rock, used for defence, burrowing, bonding, mating and possibly violently crushing the skulls of its enemies against the roof of its burrow. Although the jury is still out on that one. Continue reading... |
| iPhone 12 Pro review: not quite worth the extra cost Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:00 PM PST Apple's more expensive model has zoom camera and lidar but uses heavier stainless steel Apple's more luxurious version of the iPhone 12 takes the best of the iPhone 4's looks, adds some polished stainless steel and a third camera on the back – and an extra £200 to the price. The new iPhone 12 Pro costs from £999 and sits between the slightly smaller £699 12 Mini, the same-size £799 12 and the larger, more expensive £1,099 12 Pro Max, which will have a more powerful camera when launched on 13 November.

| 'We were lucky people didn't throw tomatoes': Klaus Voormann on his Beatles and Plastic Ono days Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:00 PM PST He played with the Fab Four in Hamburg, inspired their moptops, drew the famed Revolver cover, and gigged with Yoko Ono. As his illustrations are published, the great musician relives his fabulous escapades In September 1969, the bass player and artist Klaus Voormann, who had recently left Manfred Mann, received a phone call from John Lennon. There was nothing unusual in that. Voormann had known the Beatles for nine years and was part of the band's tight inner circle. It was Voormann's own band, Paddy, Klaus and Gibson, that Lennon and George Harrison had attempted to go and see live on the night they were famously dosed with LSD at a dinner party. Ringo Starr was already at the gig and was noisily confronted by his lysergically altered bandmates claiming that the venue's lift was on fire. A year later, he had designed the Grammy award-winning cover of Revolver. The issue was more what Lennon wanted him to do. Lennon had whimsically agreed to perform live at a rock'n'roll revival festival in Toronto at two days' notice and was trying to cobble together backing musicians to play as the Plastic Ono Band. Eric Clapton had agreed to play guitar, but Voormann took more convincing, on the not-unreasonable grounds that headlining a festival with a new band who hadn't rehearsed didn't seem like one of Lennon's more inspired ideas.

| Learning to draw in the natural world brings joy – especially in lockdown Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:30 PM PST You don't have to be good at art to enjoy the mood-enhancing benefits of nature sketching, as our writer finds out on an artist-guided session in London's Epping Forest Hands up, who's rubbish at drawing? Ha! Bet you're not as bad as me. For years this rarely bothered me but, like so many of us in the first lockdown, I gloried in previously familiar green city spaces, and longed to record the joy they brought. A quick snap on my phone – destined to join hundreds not looked at again – never quite captured the moment. So I was intrigued to see that Walthamstow-based artist Sharon Drew was running "green sketching" sessions in Epping Forest, on the edge of north London, near her home and mine. Continue reading... |
| Five classic American cocktails to drink your way through election day Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:30 AM PST If an election on the other side of the world has your nerves jangling, these drinks from the land of the brave and the home of the free (pour) might help Wherever your American political sympathies lie, I think we can all agree that the presidency of Donald Trump has been a delightful rollercoaster ride and now 240,000 Americans are dead from a virus he said would go away. "It is what it is." But what will happen on election day? Will the nation choose to keep Trump for four more of the longest years of our lives? Or will it choose Joe Biden? Will ballots be invalidated? Will there be voter intimidation? Continue reading... |
| Met police told to reveal if spies still used in political groups Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:55 AM PST Head of undercover policing inquiry says he expects to be told if practice is continuing The head of the inquiry into undercover policing has insisted that Scotland Yard reveal whether it is currently deploying spies in political groups. The surprise intervention from Sir John Mitting came on the second day of public hearings in the inquiry into spying operations that targeted mostly leftwing groups for at least four decades.

| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:54 AM PST Veteran journalist and author whose postings read like a battle roll of the post-colonial wars he despised Robert Fisk would have been amused, if unsurprised, by the plethora of reactions, from the adulatory to the sharply critical, prompted by the news of his death, at the age of 74. As a journalist, commentator and author, in a five-decade career that focused overwhelmingly on the Middle East, Fisk expressed strong views about who was responsible for the region's agonies, and provoked equally strong responses. Even a partial list of his postings and assignments reads like the battle roll of the post-colonial wars he despised: post-revolution Lisbon, Belfast, Tehran, Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, Algiers, Kabul, Sarajevo.

| 'Don't stop the music': songs bring hope to a Nigerian psychiatric unit Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:45 PM PST There is a huge mental health treatment gap across Africa, but in one Nigerian hospital, music therapy is having a positive impact The music comes on – a soft blend of guitar, saxophone, piano – and people sit still at first, then heads start to sway to the sound. Some hum along; mostly they sing, or laugh and dance. At the end, when quiet returns, their mood is assessed – as it was when the session started. Once or twice a month, Bola Otegbayo brings a team of singers and instrumentalists into this psychiatric unit at University College hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Nigeria. Otegbayo realised a few years ago that some of her patients were lonely even though their loved ones visited and caregivers provided succour. So she began to share music. Now she is a musicologist alongside her main job as a renal technologist. |
| Biden campaign calls Trump's false victory claim 'outrageous' as US awaits election result – live Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:59 AM PST
The state of Mississippi has approved a ballot initiative to remove the Confederate banner from its state flag, which now will depict a magnolia, the state flower.
Here's as good a summary as we can find of what's happening in Wisconsin, which has 10 electoral votes to give. A narrow Biden lead on the strength of heavily Democratic ballots, with the window narrowing for Trump. It looks like Milwaukee came out for Biden. Joe Biden now has a narrow lead in Wisconsin after City of Milwaukee absentees come in. Still 32,000 absentees left to come in from Green Bay, a Democratic city. pic.twitter.com/BRaMofcZpn If you're wondering about Wisconsin's recount rules… |

| NSW-Victoria border to reopen, as China trade fears grow – as it happened Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:27 AM PST A 'cautious' risk, Gladys Berejiklian says; Birmingham wants trade clarity; Australia focuses on US election. This blog is now closed
That's it for tonight, thanks for reading. To recap today's developments:
Penny Wong, the opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman, has responded to the unclear outcome of the US election, saying Americans "deserve to have their voices heard". The comments come after US president Donald Trump told a crowd at the White House in the early hours of Wednesday morning (DC time) that "we will be going to the US supreme court" and that "we want all voting to stop". Americans have voted in historic numbers in this election. They deserve to have their voices heard. Americans have voted in historic numbers in this election. |
| Uganda's 'street uncles' transform young lives in the slum - a photo essay Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:30 PM PST In an area that is infamous for high drug use, a group of men use their own experience of addiction to help children strive for new goals
It was as a child in 1983 that Mark Owori first began using drugs. He started by supplying them to his sister, Lucky, who was a soldier in Uganda's bush war. Eventually he also became both involved in the war and an addict. This was under the rule of Ugandan independence leader Milton Obote and during a conflict in which Owori says that everyone had a role – from spying to looking for food. His was to keep soldiers supplied with drugs. Continue reading... |
| ‘We live in constant fear’: Kabul buries its dead after Isis attack on university Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:15 PM PST The brutal killing of at least 35 people on Monday has left Afghanistan's younger generation fearful of the future At a mountainside graveyard, surrounded by dusty brown hills specked with colourfully painted houses, 20 year-old Marziah Tahery was laid to rest on Tuesday; a light breeze in the warm autumn air, echoes of children's play in the distance. The morning before – as on most other days – she had gone enthusiastically into Kabul University where she had been studying public administration and policy. Continue reading... |
| Why are people losing their heads over a black Anne Boleyn? | Arwa Mahdawi Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:00 PM PST A new Channel 5 series has a black actor playing Henry VIII's second wife. But is it the triumph for diversity it seems? I'd rather see some new new queens on the block Poor Anne Boleyn has had a rough go of it. She was married to Henry VIII, a wife-killing tyrant whose legs were covered with pus-filled boils. And, after failing to give her husband a son, she was beheaded on spurious treason charges. Then, to add insult to injury, Boleyn was stuck with a horrible reputation for the next few centuries. And she is still ruffling feathers from beyond the grave. Henry VIII's second wife is the subject of a new Channel 5 series; she is to be played by the black British actor Jodie Turner-Smith. Predictably, racists are losing their heads over it. (I'd wager many of the same people who think a black woman shouldn't play a white historical figure have zero issues with Jesus being routinely portrayed as a white guy.) Continue reading... |

| Does Vienna attack signal new wave of jihadist terrorism? Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:51 AM PST Fact that Isis attacks have declined in EU does not mean threat has disappeared, says expert Does the attack in Vienna on Monday night presage a return to the darkest days of the wave of terrorist violence that shook Europe between 2012 and 2017? Over that five-year period, hundreds died in lethal stabbings, attacks with cleavers, bombings of stadiums and airports, as well as assaults by multiple gunmen in city centres with AK-47s that bear horrible resemblance both to that still being investigated in the Austrian capital and the spate of attacks in France in recent weeks.

| Trump throws baseless doubt on vote and falsely claims victory – video Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:27 AM PST Donald Trump has made baseless claims of voter 'fraud' in the presidential election and declared victory, even as important battleground states remain too close to call. Speaking at the White House the president said: 'This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country.' He also threatened to challenge the election results in the supreme court. Trump has won the battleground state of Florida, but others including North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania remain too close to call.
