| Mexico must be ready to retaliate if Trump levies border tax, says minister Posted: 13 Jan 2017 01:51 PM PST
Mexico must be ready to respond immediately with its own tax measures if the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump imposes a border tax, the country's economy minister has said, warning such protectionism may trigger a global recession. Trump, who takes office on 20 January, has promised a "major border tax" on companies that shift jobs outside the United States, and such a measure could hobble Mexico's exports to its top trading partner.

| WhatsApp vulnerability allows snooping on encrypted messages Posted: 13 Jan 2017 03:00 AM PST Exclusive: Privacy campaigners criticise WhatsApp vulnerability as a 'huge threat to freedom of speech' and warn it could be exploited by government agencies A security vulnerability that can be used to allow Facebook and others to intercept and read encrypted messages has been found within its WhatsApp messaging service. Facebook claims that no one can intercept WhatsApp messages, not even the company and its staff, ensuring privacy for its billion-plus users.

Barack Obama on Thursday repealed a measure granting automatic residency to virtually every Cuban who arrived in the US, whether or not they had visas, ending a longstanding exception to US policy.

| Beer sales don't take a hit from marijuana legalisation, study finds Posted: 13 Jan 2017 07:20 AM PST Research suggests cannabis legalisation linked to rise in drinking rather than users substituting Budweiser for bud-smoking The legalisation of marijuana in several US states has not curbed beer sales, according to new research, as Americans managed to find room in their social schedules for both. Analysts at investment firm Bernstein said fears that the brewing industry would be sent into chronic decline by red-eyed revellers reaching for joints instead of beers have proved unfounded.

A school in arctic Norway is facing criticism for taking five-year-old children on an outing to view the slaughter and skinning of reindeer at a nearby farm.

| French newspaper abandons opinion polls in run-up to election Posted: 13 Jan 2017 06:32 AM PST Le Parisien shifts focus from 'horse race' journalism to on-the-ground reporting ahead of presidential vote France's love-hate relationship with opinion polls is in the spotlight after a newspaper announced it would stop commissioning polls in the run-up to the French presidential election and instead do more on-the-ground reporting to sound out the public mood. The unprecedented decision by the daily Le Parisien came after months of discussion in the paper's newsroom following the UK's vote to leave the European Union and Donald Trump's election in the US – both of which caught media and some pollsters by surprise.

| West African leaders make last-ditch effort to end Gambian crisis Posted: 13 Jan 2017 07:25 AM PST Regional politicians arrive in Banjul to persuade Yahya Jammeh to step down when his presidential term ends this week West African leaders have flown into the Gambia to make a final attempt to persuade Yahya Jammeh to step down when his presidential term ends next week. Nigeria's president, Muhammadu Buhari, Liberia's president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and John Mahama, who conceded defeat in last month's elections in Ghana, arrived in the capital, Banjul, on Friday morning to try to change Jammeh's mind after he declared his country's election void after his first defeat in 22 years.

| Russia looms large over Senate confirmation hearings | The daily briefing Posted: 13 Jan 2017 05:35 AM PST Justice department scrutinizes FBI over Clinton email inquiry; WhatsApp backdoor allows snooping; and the San Diego Chargers prepare to move Donald Trump's picks to lead the CIA and the Department of Defense both sounded warnings over Russia's growing global ambitions during their confirmation hearings before the Senate on Thursday. Mike Pompeo, Trump's choice for CIA director, sided with intelligence officials who accuse Moscow of attempting to skew the US election. His comments came amid an increasingly bitter row between Trump and US intelligence agencies. James Mattis, Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, told the Senate armed services committee that Russia had "chosen to be a strategic competitor, an adversary in key areas". Meanwhile, Eric Swalwell, the ranking member of the CIA subcommittee of the House permanent select committee on intelligence, has called for an independent bipartisan commission to investigate Russian influence on the US election. The commission was needed "to set the record straight on what happened, and to recommend how best to protect ourselves from now on", Swalwell writes for the Guardian. Trump's inauguration is next Friday, though some have already begun to wonder what happens now and to speculate as to whether he could be impeached. Continue reading... |

| ‘The last five years have not been great at Greenpeace’ Posted: 14 Jan 2017 12:00 AM PST With former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson poised to lead US foreign policy, activists like Peter Willcox, skipper of the Rainbow Warrior, are needed more than ever. But are they losing their nerve? Dawn was breaking when the campaigners used slingshots to fire ropes on to the rig. But as they began to scale the Prirazlomnaya, aiming to unfurl a banner denouncing Russia's attempts to drill for oil in the Arctic, their hopes of another successful Greenpeace "action" swiftly faded. They had been anticipating high-pressure hoses that sprayed freezing seawater at intruders. They weren't prepared for balaclava-wearing soldiers shooting at their inflatable boats. One soldier grabbed the rope used by one of the climbers, slamming her body repeatedly against the rig. They captured two other activists. Then the Russians demanded to board the Greenpeace ship. But the Arctic Sunrise's captain, Peter Willcox, fearing his boat would be seized, resisted. Continue reading... |

| Cyprus talks bring Nicosia to 'a point where we can have hope' Posted: 13 Jan 2017 10:00 PM PST A week of nervous anticipation ends without a breakthrough, but there is still optimism in the divided capital The newspaper stand at Koula Myrahi's kiosk in downtown Nicosia is usually brimming with titles at midday. In the age of the internet, hard-copy sales of the lavish number of dailies the island produces have dwindled considerably. Friday, however, was an exception. As Cypriots woke up to the news that the latest effort to reunify their island had stalled – but not died – it was news that they wanted. Continue reading... |

| Dutchwoman resident in UK for 30 years may have to leave after Brexit Posted: 14 Jan 2017 12:00 AM PST Jet Cooper, who has raised three children here and whose husband is ill, told she may not qualify for permanent residency without private health insurance A Dutch woman who has lived with her British husband in Devon for 30 years has learned from the immigration minister, Robert Goodwill, that she may not have the right to stay in the country after Brexit. Jet Cooper and her husband, who has been diagnosed with a serious illness, asked their MP, Sarah Wollaston, to seek clarification from Goodwill about her right to remain in Britain after the EU referendum. The couple were alarmed to discover, via two three-page letters from Goodwill, that Jet may not be eligible to remain in the country because she had not taken out private health insurance and because she may not have earned sufficient revenue in the years during which she freelanced. |
| From Deliciously Ella to Donald Trump: the evolution of 'truth' Posted: 14 Jan 2017 01:00 AM PST First there were facts. Then, post-truth. Now it's all about the bare-faced denial Last weekend, because I am a masochist, I read an interview with Ella Mills, nee Woodward, aka Deliciously Ella, the figurehead of the clean-eating movement. I've been writing about the bread-phobic brigade for a few years now (like I said, I'm a masochist), and I check in with them occasionally to see how, exactly, they're stretching their glamorisation of disordered eating yet further. Yet on reading this latest dispatch, I had an unexpected epiphany: Deliciously Ella is the precursor to Donald Trump. A sylph-like, wildly privileged girl from west London looks a little less aspirational when you realise she's from the same mould as a race-baiting Oompa Loompa with a Weetabix (gluten!) on his head, doesn't she? And it's not just Deliciously Ella. Like John Cusack in Being John Malkovich, I suddenly see the face of my man everywhere. I am finally realising that so many of the things that have frustrated me, that I have been trying to understand over the past year, come under one umbrella: the umbrella of bullshit.

| Jakarta: the unlikely capital city of sex and swinging Posted: 13 Jan 2017 01:00 PM PST A little past midnight, sitting at the bar of a stylish Jakarta establishment, all around was giddy, shaking, unfiltered lust. Author Laksmi Pamuntjak discovers the swinging scene among Indonesia's middle class There is a peculiar thrill to hearing your city described in terms less than conventional, more so when the talk is salacious, bordering on risqué. For all the respect you wish accorded to the weight of its history, the joy of its music, the singularity of its people and character – you also want it to speak for itself, ie to reveal itself with all its grey zones, its convolutions, the breadth of its unadvertised parts. Deep down there is a will for it to have a few tricks up its sleeves, to possess of certain quirks. You will it, for want of a better term, to have a secret subterranean world of sweet and shady dealings, just as the human psyche craves, seeks out, even needs its hidden life. This was how I reacted when a friend declared, out of the blue, that Jakarta – capital city of the world's largest Muslim majority country – is "the capital city of sex". He is a businessman, notably reserved, sparing with words. Yet that evening, a little past midnight, sitting at the bar of one of the city's most stylish establishments, all around was giddy, shaking, unfiltered lust. I could see how even he couldn't look away. Through an accident of history, he became the reluctant observer par excellence of the city's collective sexual behaviour. Continue reading... |

| Standing in solidarity with Brazil’s Lula | Letters Posted: 13 Jan 2017 10:55 AM PST After the undemocratic removal of Dilma Rousseff as president of Brazil (Report, 24 December) via an illegitimate process that saw 62 senators overturn the votes of 54 million, there has been an unprecedented defamation campaign against former president Lula. This "trial by media" is an attempt to keep Lula from participating in the political process. As a highly popular figure as a result of reforms that lifted millions from poverty, Lula is considered a possible candidate in the 2018 elections. Investigating Lula, prosecutors have been unable to find any illegal activity committed. Despite this, they have submitted him to a number of arbitrary constraints and detainments, leading to a UN investigation taking place due to concern that his rights have been infringed. We, the undersigned, oppose this concerted campaign against Lula and stand in solidarity with those struggling for democracy and social progress in Brazil.

At night, she lies awake. Only 18, she has been fighting tuberculosis for five years. Her voice on the telephone from her home in Patna, eastern India, is a whisper. If she speaks for more than a few minutes, she becomes breathless. Though exhausted, Shreya is also fighting another battle – in the Delhi high court – to demand a new TB drug. Every other medication she has tried has failed to beat the disease. Continue reading... |
