| Shell-shocked Mosul survivors tell of intense airstrikes Posted: 26 Mar 2017 11:19 AM PDT Hundreds of people have fled west Mosul during a lull in fighting but many had to leave behind family members buried in the remains of their former homes Covered in dust, their hands raw from digging, Ali Assad and his cousin made a desperate choice – to leave their family under the rubble of their west Mosul home and flee while they still could. The two men were among hundreds to be evacuated on Sunday, during a lull in the fighting prompted by outrage over the high civilian toll caused by multiple airstrikes that have battered the city and its trapped population over the past eight days. |
| Opposition leader Alexei Navalny detained amid protests across Russia Posted: 27 Mar 2017 01:39 AM PDT Crowds gather in cities to protest against corruption in largest anti-government rallies for five years, with hundreds held Hundreds of protesters have been detained by riot police in cities across Russia, as some of the largest anti-government protests in years swept the country.

| 'Mini-Merkel' increases majority in bellwether German state polls Posted: 26 Mar 2017 12:01 PM PDT Saarland's CDU state premier, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, sees off threat from resurgent Social Democratic party Angela Merkel appears to have emerged unscathed from her first challenge from a resurgent German left as her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party romped to a surprisingly emphatic victory in state elections in the south-west. Though Germany's least populous state, state elections in the Saarland region are being treated as an important bellwether ahead of federal elections in September, with some commentators predicting the region could become the first in the old west of the country to be governed by a coalition between the centre-left and the left parties.

| Spanish socialists on the ropes, but clenched-fist Stussy T-shirt is a hit Posted: 26 Mar 2017 05:35 AM PDT PSOE starts selling original 40-year-old design again after American brand uses the logo on its clothes The Spanish socialist party (PSOE) may have slumped to its worst election results in 40 years, dumped its leader in a very bloody and public coup, and ceded much of its political turf to the anti-austerity Podemos movement, but things are finally looking up, if only sartorially. The party's logo – a left fist clenched around a red rose – is undergoing something of a fashion renaissance after being used on a range of T-shirts in the US. Continue reading... |
| Scottish Muay Thai boxer dies while training in Thailand Posted: 26 Mar 2017 03:29 PM PDT Jordan Coe, 20, from Falkirk – who was preparing for a professional fight – may have died from heatstroke, said his coach A Scottish boxer has died in Thailand of suspected heatstroke.

| Isis tells Raqqa residents to evacuate over fears nearby dam will collapse Posted: 26 Mar 2017 05:58 AM PDT Islamic State says US-led airstrikes have weakened Tabqa dam on Euphrates river, 25 miles from its self-styled capital in Syria Islamic State has ordered residents of Raqqa to evacuate after reports that a nearby dam weakened by US-led coalition airstrikes could collapse, activists have reported. Isis said air attacks had weakened the Tabqa dam on the Euphrates river, 25 miles (40km) west of Raqqa, and the water level behind it was rising. The militant group captured the city from Syrian rebels in 2014 and it is the capital of Isis's self-styled caliphate. Continue reading... |
| Borisov's pro-EU party beats Socialists in Bulgaria's snap election Posted: 26 Mar 2017 12:31 PM PDT Veteran politician ahead of BSP in polls seen as test of Russian influence in country but stable coalition may prove elusive Boiko Borisov, the comeback specialist of Bulgarian politics, looked to have done it again as exit polls from a snap election put his pro-EU centre-right party in first place. Borisov's European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party won about 32%, the exit polls on Sunday showed, ahead of the Socialist party (BSP) on about 28%. Continue reading... |

| Snapchat 'will be bigger than Twitter, Yahoo and AOL with advertisers' Posted: 26 Mar 2017 09:10 AM PDT Messaging app forecast to attract revenues of $3bn a year by 2019 by attracting hard-to-reach youth market Snapchat could become more popular with advertisers than Twitter, Yahoo and AOL within three years, with the messaging app company forecast to bring in revenues of more than $3bn (£2.4bn) a year before the end of 2019. That bullish forecast is based on advertisers targeting the youth audience that the disappearing photo app has seemingly cornered. More than half (51%) of video users on Snapchat are under 24, compared with 23% for Facebook and 17% for Google's YouTube, according to Ampere Analysis. Continue reading... |

| Sunshine state shuns solar as overcast New York basks in clean energy boom Posted: 27 Mar 2017 12:00 AM PDT Despite its natural advantages, disincentives mean Florida has few solar panels but the Empire state's policies have boosted installed solar capacity by 800% If you were to fly a camera-laden drone several hundred feet above Pani Herath's house in south Miami, Florida, it would become clear his rooftop is an oddity compared with virtually all of his neighbors. Despite living in a part of the world that bakes in the sun throughout the year, just a few thousand people across Florida, such as Herath, have installed solar panels. "Unfortunately, not many people know about solar. That's why nobody around here has solar at all," said Herath. He has become an object of curiosity in his tidy neighborhood, where watering the manicured lawn and scooping debris from the pool is of greater concern. Continue reading... |

An export company is proposing to collect 800m litres a month of the "untapped" glacial waters of Lake Greaney and Lake Minim Mere, mountainous dams that are fed by rainfall on the Southern Alps. |

| UK police criticised for failure to help enslaved cannabis farmers Posted: 26 Mar 2017 12:28 PM PDT Independent anti-slavery commissioner urges police forces to target criminal gangs trafficking Vietnamese teenagers to UK The UK's independent anti-slavery commissioner, Kevin Hyland, has criticised police forces for failing to tackle the issue of enslaved Vietnamese teenagers being trafficked to the UK to work in illegal cannabis farms. There was a lack of urgency and an absence of commitment from police in dealing with this crime, he said, describing the intelligence-gathering system designed to tackle this and other forms of modern slavery as "a mess". |
| What future for the European Union now that Britain is leaving? | Letters Posted: 26 Mar 2017 12:09 PM PDT "Brussels has no power over most salient issues", "Most immigration comes from outside the EU, where policy is made by the UK alone", "Pollution, terrorism and organised crime … do not stop at national borders" (The new EU era will be forged by its people, Opinion, 25 March). Just three quotes from Jean-Claude Juncker that raise the question of why the remain campaign didn't seek some advice from him before the referendum. If they had, we might not be in the mess we're in now. • Mr Juncker is wrong on two counts. First, he states that the EU has few powers in respect of UK healthcare. However, since April 2016, EU procurement rules require that all NHS contracts worth more than £750,000 have to go out to tender. A core principle of these rules is furtherance of open competition with the inevitable effect of boosting NHS privatisation. No matter that the in-house service is performing well, the cash-strapped clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have to indulge in expensive and time-consuming tendering exercises which may then be subject to legal challenge.

| Nuclear states are in breach of the Non-Proliferation Treaty | Letters Posted: 26 Mar 2017 11:50 AM PDT The UN conference to negotiate a global multilateral nuclear ban treaty begins its substantive session on 27 March. All the nuclear states, including the UK, are boycotting the conference, because they prefer a step-by-step approach within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The NPT, concluded in 1968, required the nuclear states to pursue negotiations to bring about nuclear disarmament at an early date. Nearly 50 years on, it can reasonably be concluded that they are in breach of this obligation. Another approach is long overdue. Any use of nuclear weapons would be in breach of international humanitarian law. Disarmament undertaken in the context of this law rather than arms control could be concluded quickly, with the more difficult technical negotiations taking place later. This approach would build on the humanitarian disarmament treaties that have banned landmines and cluster bombs. Continue reading... |
| We were asked about our hobbies before we could board our US flight | Letters Posted: 26 Mar 2017 11:49 AM PDT We experienced an unusual grilling/conversation when we flew to the US in January, with American Airlines from Manchester ('Most airport security does not protect against threat', 25 March). None of the expected questions about electronic equipment, but why were we travelling, what were our hobbies and what did we do for a living. Being retired, we then had to answer about how much we enjoyed our work or otherwise. I enthused about teaching English, of course. I suppose that was a "managed conversation". However, an apparent "pass" didn't stop me, a 69-year-old little Welsh woman, having to remove my sturdy laced boots and then needing a chair to enable me to put then back on. Did the fact that it was Friday 13th have anything to do with it? |
| Can Harvard’s most popular professor (and Confucius) radically change your life? Posted: 26 Mar 2017 07:00 AM PDT Michael Puett's book The Path draws on the 2,500-year-old insights of Chinese philosophers. He explains how 'straightening your mat' can help you break out of the patterns that are holding you back The School of Life's Sunday sermons could be described as lectures for people who don't believe in God but still like church. They sing secular songs before and after the sermon (when I arrive, the large congregation at Mary Ward House in London is on the second verse of A Spoonful of Sugar), and everybody seems to share an abiding faith in the power of open-mindedness.

| The resurrection of Palermo: how the mafia battlefield became a cultural capital Posted: 26 Mar 2017 11:15 PM PDT The Sicilian capital is using millions of euros seized from crime bosses to fund regeneration – though the scars inflicted by the Cosa Nostra may never fully heal Every city, at some stage in its history, reaches a tipping point. For Palermo, it was one sweltering afternoon in July 1992, when more than 1,500 soldiers armed with automatic weapons took up positions on every corner of its eerily quiet streets in a show of military force unknown to Italy since the end of the second world war. On that day, 24 July, the war was against the mafia, and Italy was losing. Six days earlier, a car bomb had killed Paolo Borsellino, the chief justice investigating the godfathers of Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia. The five officers in his police escort also died. In May, the car of another judge, Giovanni Falcone, the mafia bosses' number one enemy, had been blown up. The 300 kilos of TNT that killed him along with his wife and three escorting officers opened up a 15-metre crater in the motorway connecting the airport to the city. Continue reading... |

The 31-year-old Filipina was perched outside a second floor window, blood filling her mouth where two teeth had been smashed out. She had climbed on to the ledge to flee her employer, who had grabbed her hair and bashed her face into a wall, Maricel says. "It's so high. I want to go back, but the glass doesn't open. Madam is close. She is screaming, 'I kill you now!'" Maricel says. "What can I do? I jumped." |
