| Mike Flynn at risk of Russian blackmail, Sally Yates warned White House Posted: 08 May 2017 04:19 PM PDT Former acting attorney general testifies to warning counsel that the then national security adviser was susceptible to blackmail by Russia on 26 January Former acting US attorney general Sally Yates said on Monday that she warned the White House on 26 January that then national security adviser Michael Flynn was "compromised" and open to blackmail by the Russian government. Her comments to a Senate judiciary subcommittee hearing came after it emerged that Barack Obama had warned Donald Trump in November against hiring Flynn, who was forced to resign as national security adviser over his contacts with Russia after less than three weeks in office.

| Jakarta governor Ahok sentenced to two years in prison for blasphemy Posted: 09 May 2017 12:26 AM PDT Shock sentence comes after hardline Islamist groups called for Christian official to be jailed for referencing Qur'an verse An Indonesian court has found Jakarta's Christian governor guilty of blasphemy and sentenced him to two years in prison, in a trial that was widely seen as a test of religious tolerance and pluralism in the world's largest Muslim-majority country. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known by his nickname Ahok, was "found to have legitimately and convincingly conducted a criminal act of blasphemy, and because of that we have imposed two years of imprisonment", the head judge, Dwiarso Budi Santiarto, told the court.

| Macron victory gives Brussels confidence boost over EU's future Posted: 08 May 2017 10:00 PM PDT With existential threat posed by French election averted, EU leaders appear assured and see opportunity to reset project Europe When Emmanuel Macron walked across the courtyard of the Louvre on Sunday evening to the rousing finale of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, the EU anthem, few doubted it was a win not only for his untested political movement, but for the European project too. After the recent defeat of the far right in Austria and disappointment for the rabble-rousing populist Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, Brussels hailed the Macron victory as a sign of faith in European unity. |
| South Korea looks past Park as presidential election gets under way Posted: 09 May 2017 01:11 AM PDT Record turnout expected with electorate galvanised by anger over corruption scandal that brought down Park Geun-hye South Koreans have gone to the polls to choose a new president after Park Geun-hye was ousted and indicted for corruption, against a backdrop of high tensions with the North.

| Taliban teachers: how militants are infiltrating Afghan schools Posted: 08 May 2017 09:45 PM PDT Educators face pressure to give good marks to young fighters while others are swapping chalk for Kalashnikovs after lessons When Afghan teachers are lobbied to give good marks to mediocre students, the pressure does not necessarily come from disgruntled parents. Often it comes from the Taliban. In areas of eastern Afghanistan, militants intimidate teachers to let older boys who fight with the Taliban pass exams despite lacklustre performances, according to education experts working in the region.

| Malta's prime minister under pressure from MEPs over corruption claims Posted: 08 May 2017 10:00 PM PDT Joseph Muscat denies allegations that an aide took bribes to secure Maltese passports for wealthy Russians amid ongoing fallout from Panama Papers leak Malta's embattled prime minister, Joseph Muscat, is facing a growing rebellion in Brussels, where MEPs are openly calling for his departure amid a growing corruption scandal involving his wife, a Panamanian shell company and alleged payments from the president of Azerbaijan's daughter. The Mediterranean island state's presidency of the EU, which began in January, has been rocked by allegations of money laundering and kickbacks. Malta's spell at the helm of the union has done nothing to airbrush its reputation as a haven for dark money, and with the entire European project now at stake, it is becoming a source of anxiety and embarrassment in Brussels.

| Nepalis call for Everest age limit after death of 85-year-old climber Posted: 08 May 2017 07:09 AM PDT Alpine association says tighter restrictions needed after Min Bahadur Sherchan died as he prepared to ascend mountain Nepal's biggest alpine association will push the country's government to implement an age limit on who can climb the world's tallest mountain after the death of an 85-year-old at Everest base camp at the weekend, the second fatality in the past week.

| Does toppling of Chávez statue mean Venezuela has reached a breaking point? Posted: 09 May 2017 01:00 AM PDT The destruction did not go unnoticed in a country where many public buildings are still adorned with images of Chávez, four years after his death The demonstration began with a group of schoolboys, who gathered – still dressed in their school uniforms – in the palm-lined square outside the town hall of the prairie town of Villa del Rosario in western Venezuela.

| Dubai goes to the dogs: city's expat culture leads to surge in abandoned pets Posted: 08 May 2017 11:30 PM PDT Expats constitute 90% of the population of Dubai, and when they move on they often leave everything behind – including their temporary pets Charlie was kept in a cage for most of his short life; he was suffering from dehydration and a severe lung infection when he was handed to an animal rescue group in Dubai. Charlie is a two-year-old Yorkshire terrier – a breed that sells for up to 10,000 Arab Emirates Dirham (£2,130) in local pet shops. He was surrendered by his owners' domestic worker after they left the United Arab Emirates, and has since been adopted. Charlie was lucky – hundreds of dogs are abandoned when their owners leave the country. Some of these dogs will end up a world away from Dubai's pristine gated communities. Less than an hour's drive from the city, in the nearby emirate of Umm Al Quwain, is the Stray Dogs Centre. Deep in the desert otherwise inhabited only by camels, this rudimentary shelter is at maximum capacity; 123 dogs scrabble against their cages, desperate for a human touch – the barking is deafening.

| Alleged labour abuses: Panasonic and Samsung reforms fall short, say activists Posted: 08 May 2017 11:00 PM PDT Rights groups welcome steps to improve treatment of migrant workers after Guardian revealed claims of exploitation in supply chains in Malaysia, but say more must be done Labour rights groups have cast doubt on the impact and scope of proposals by Panasonic and Samsung to address the alleged abuse of foreign migrants in their supply chains in Malaysia. Last November, a Guardian investigation highlighted claims that workers making goods for the global electronics brands were being exploited and had been deceived about pay. Both firms have since taken steps to reform their treatment of overseas migrant employees. Continue reading... |
| Juba in the spotlight: ongoing turmoil in the world's youngest capital Posted: 08 May 2017 04:23 AM PDT One year into South Sudan's new transitional government, Juba is still struggling to cope with insecurity, poverty and conflict The world's youngest capital city has little to celebrate on the first anniversary of the formation of its country's transitional government. Established on 29 April 2016 and led by President Salva Kiir, South Sudan's government was conceived as part of the solution to a seemingly irresolvable three-year civil war. But less than three months after the announcement, renewed fighting between warring factions broke out in Juba, killing more than 300 people, displacing tens of thousands and throwing the city and country into an ongoing state of unrest. "[The anniversary] is a disappointment; three months after the formation of government there was war – you don't expect people to be elated," said one Juba resident who asked for anonymity.

| 'He's done OK': readers on Sadiq Khan's first year as London mayor Posted: 09 May 2017 12:00 AM PDT Londoners give a cautious thumbs up to Sadiq Khan's time in City Hall - and suggest where he needs to do better A year has passed since Sadiq Khan succeeded Boris Johnson as mayor of London. To mark this landmark, we asked our readers how they thought he's been getting on - and received a cautious thumbs up. While many were impressed with Khan as an ambassador for London, particularly impressed with how he reacted to the Brexit vote and the Westminster terror attack, questions were raised over Khan's ability to tackle London's housing and air quality crises in particular. |

| ‘They’re not seen as human beings’: life for unmarried mothers in Tunisia Posted: 08 May 2017 08:44 AM PDT Often abandoned by their families and discriminated against in law, the odds are stacked against Tunisian women who have children out of wedlock Tunisia is often hailed as a progressive Arab country, where, according to US human rights watchdog Freedom House, "women enjoy more social freedoms and legal rights than in most other countries in the region". A series of gender reforms under then president Habib Bourguiba between the 1950s and the 70s abolished polygamy, gave women the right to vote, divorce and have abortions, and elevated the status of women in Tunisian society. For all, it seems, apart from unmarried mothers. "They're not seen as a human being like everyone else," says Rebah ben Chaaben, a psychologist at Amal, the country's only clinic solely dedicated to the legal, social and mental health issues affecting unmarried mothers, which is based in Tunis. By taking in about 50 mothers each year, the charity acts as a safe space for the women and their babies. Almost all of the women at Amal come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The majority have had no sex education; some have had no education at all. Most have found themselves pregnant after consensual sex with their boyfriends or fiances, and consequently been abandoned by them. Continue reading... |
| Trump, Flynn and the Russians: a paperback thriller if it wasn't so serious Posted: 08 May 2017 09:41 PM PDT The White House knew its national security adviser was compromised but Donald Trump kept him in the post. Republicans are in no hurry to find out why Not long ago the idea that the US national security adviser had been compromised by the Russians would have been the stuff of airport thrillers and TV mini-series. The Trump White House has made it the new normal. The firmest conclusion to emerge from the latest testimony on Capitol Hill is that the White House knew for 18 days its national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was vulnerable to blackmail by Moscow because he had lied about his contacts with the Russian ambassador. |
| Australia budget 2017: Coalition expected to announce levy on big banks – politics live Posted: 09 May 2017 01:25 AM PDT Federal budget news live: Bill Shorten targets Coalition's 'tax cuts for millionaires' as Gonski 2.0 school funding changes given green light despite opposition from Tony Abbott and Kevin Andrews
We're closing in on the full release of the budget at 7.30pm. Many of the budget measures have already been released publicly, so it's worth having another look at this handy "what we know" list put together by my colleague Nick Evershed. Related: Federal budget 2017 at a glance: the measures revealed so far
As mentioned earlier, the Coalition is likely to announce a demerit point-style compliance regime for welfare recipients, which would see them punished if they repeatedly miss interviews or appointments with job service providers. The government already has broad powers to penalise welfare recipients who fail to comply with their mutual obligations but the human services minister, Alan Tudge, has recently complained that a waiver system, introduced by Labor, has allowed the vast majority to escape punishment. The proposal for a demerit points compliance scheme has prompted concerns from the Australian Council of Social Service, which I detailed earlier. I've also spoken with the National Social Security Rights Network's Matthew Butt, who expressed serious concern about the proposal. Butt was still waiting to see the full details of the Coalition's announcement but warned against changes to the waiver system, which is designed to keep welfare recipients active in the job market and prevent them being pushed further into disadvantage Continue reading... |

| Moon Jae-in, the South Korean pragmatist who would be president Posted: 08 May 2017 09:58 PM PDT The 64-year-old veteran politician has positioned himself as the candidate qualified to reunite the country after the divisions of Park Geun-hye's era Having lost to Park Geun-hye in the 2012 presidential election, Moon Jae-in is poised to become the chief beneficiary of the abuse-of-power scandal that has engulfed his erstwhile opponent, and become South Korea's new president. Moon's expected victory in the race to the presidential Blue House in Seoul could herald an era of rapprochement with North Korea, and an unlikely meeting of minds with Donald Trump over Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

| Philippines senator tells UN reports of drug war killings are 'alternative facts' Posted: 08 May 2017 04:53 PM PDT Ally of Rodrigo Duterte employs Trump-speak to deny that president's policy has resulted in more than 7,000 being killed by death squads and vigilantes There has been no new wave of killings prompted by the Philippines' war on drugs, and reports to the contrary are "alternative facts", an ally of President Rodrigo Duterte has told the UN Human Rights Council. Duterte has received widespread condemnation in the west for failing to curtail the killings and address activists' allegations of systematic, state-sponsored murders by police of drug users and dealers, which the authorities reject.

| Victorious Emmanuel Macron plots phase two of plan to change France Posted: 08 May 2017 11:38 AM PDT The day after his election win, the French president-elect sets to work on the crucial business of a parliamentary majority France's president-elect, Emmanuel Macron, has begun the battle to win a parliamentary majority in legislative elections next month, the crucial next step if he is to deliver his his pro-business policy promises, including loosening France's strict regulations on labour law. The former economy minister, who has never held elected office and does not have a major party machine behind him, immediately rebranded his fledgling political movement, En Marche! (On the Move!), as La République En Marche (The Republic on the Move) in order to run candidates in every constituency in France in tricky parliamentary elections. Continue reading... |

But a freak tide at Easter has brought hundreds of tonnes of sand back to the bay off Ireland's County Mayo coast Continue reading... |
| My two messed-up countries: an immigrant’s dilemma Posted: 08 May 2017 11:00 AM PDT While her birthplace, South Korea, stood on the brink of political chaos, Suki Kim watched her adopted home of the US go into meltdown after Trump's election. Stuck between past and future, she found herself in an impossible position In late October 2016, Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul was packed with hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, single and in couples, and families with small children. They carried candles and red paper signs, which read: "Park Geun-hye step down." The nearby subway exits were lined with thousands of riot police. Dressed in neon-green uniforms and carrying plastic shields, they appeared threatening at first glance, but then I noticed that they were just young men, barely in their 20s, looking bored, or tired. They were the army reserve. Because the two Koreas are technically still at war, all Korean young men must serve in the military. In South Korea, the mandatory draft is for 21 months; in North Korea it is 10 years. Dozens of blue-and-white police buses were parked one behind the other to form a barricade, barring the path to the presidential residence and blocking the streets from the subway exit. It seemed a pointless effort, since all one had to do to enter the area where people gathered was to walk around a few blocks to bypass them. Continue reading... |
| Protests in Paris a day after Macron is elected French president – video Posted: 08 May 2017 10:18 AM PDT Hundreds of protesters gathered in the French capital on Monday to demonstrate against Emmanuel Macron, the independent centrist who has been elected president.

| Front National plans overhaul after defeat but faces internal resistance Posted: 08 May 2017 09:10 AM PDT Key parts of party's strategy including its anti-EU stance could face scrutiny as parliamentary polls approach Plans to rename and "profoundly transform" the Front National after Marine Le Pen's defeat by Emmanuel Macron in France's presidential runoff will meet resistance and could expose a potentially damaging divide in the far-right party, members and analysts have said. Le Pen hailed her score of 10.6m votes, 33.9% of the total and the highest ever recorded by the party, as "massive and historic" on Sunday night. But it has disappointed activists and some senior figures who had set a target of at least 40% as the measure of a successful campaign. Continue reading... |

| Macron hackers linked to Russian-affiliated group behind US attack Posted: 08 May 2017 03:36 AM PDT Security firms think group with ties to Russian intelligence behind leak of emails and other documents belonging to French election winner's campaign team The hackers behind a "massive and coordinated" attack on the campaign of France's president-elect, Emmanuel Macron, have been linked by a number of cybersecurity research firms to the Russian-affiliated group blamed for attacking the Democratic party shortly before the US election. Tens of thousands of internal emails and other documents were released online overnight on Friday as the midnight deadline to halt campaigning in the French election passed. According to the head of Macron's digital team, Mounir Mahjoubi, "five entire mailboxes" were "stolen", with many of the accounts being personal Gmail mailboxes. Continue reading... |
| Anti-protest bills would 'attack right to speak out' under Donald Trump Posted: 08 May 2017 03:00 AM PDT The ACLU says more than 30 bills have been introduced amid a huge swell of activism, prompting UN intervention over criminalization of peaceful protest More than 20 states have proposed bills that would crack down on protests and demonstrations since Donald Trump was elected, in a moved that UN experts have branded "incompatible with US obligations under international human rights law". The proposed laws would variously increase the penalties for protesting in large groups, ban protesters from wearing masks during demonstrations and, in some states, protect drivers from liability if they strike someone taking part in a protest.

| 'It's like Airbnb for refugees': UK hosts and their guests – in pictures Posted: 08 May 2017 02:00 AM PDT Alicia Canter has spent several months meeting people in need of shelter and photographing them with their host families across the UK Think of it as Airbnb for refugees, quips Robina Qureshi. It's a simple premise: people with a spare room in their house are matched with a refugee or asylum seeker in need of somewhere to stay. And it's a popular one: before 2015, Qureshi's organisation, called Positive Action in Housing (PAIH), used to provide about 600 nights of shelter a year to people with nowhere to go. In the 18 months since September 2015 this has risen to 29,000 nights. Continue reading... |
| India to legalise mica mining in bid to tackle endemic child labour Posted: 08 May 2017 03:42 AM PDT Move comes a year after Guardian investigations revealed an estimated 20,000 children engaged in mining the glittery mineral used in car paint and makeup India is to legalise the mining of mica, a sparkly mineral used in eyeshadows and car paint, in a bid to cut the number of children who labour – and often die – to produce it. The announcement comes nearly a year after a series of Guardian investigations into mica found that crippling poverty forces many families and their children to mine the highly prized mineral, with as many as 20,000 children believed to be working in the mines, about 90% of which are illegal.

| Sally Yates gives Ted Cruz a lesson during exchange over Trump's travel ban – video Posted: 08 May 2017 05:33 PM PDT Former acting attorney general Sally Yates has come out on top after Texas senator Ted Cruz attempted to corner her during a discussion about Donald Trump's travel ban. Cruz cited a portion of US code that allows presidents to prevent immigrants from entering the country if their arrival would be 'detrimental to the interests of the United States'. But Yates was unflustered, quickly replying with a quotation from another statute that says visas cannot be denied due to someone's race, nationality or place of birth Continue reading... |
