| Las Vegas sheriff: gunman planned to survive and may have had help Posted: 05 Oct 2017 12:39 AM PDT Agent overseeing FBI investigation says 'theories are great' after sheriff speculates that Stephen Paddock could have had assistance Las Vegas police said there was evidence gunman Stephen Paddock intended to survive and escape his deadly attack at a country music festival on Sunday, and revealed that he also rented an apartment overlooking another music festival that took place in the city the previous weekend. The disclosures were among several new details revealed by Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, who also strayed into speculation that the man believed responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history had help.

| Rohingya crisis: UN 'suppressed' report predicting its shortcomings in Myanmar Posted: 04 Oct 2017 09:00 PM PDT Insiders claim strategy review warning of imminent crisis in Rakhine state and urging immediate action was smothered by the official who commissioned it The UN commissioned and then "suppressed" a report that criticised its strategy in Myanmar and warned it was ill-prepared to deal with the impending Rohingya crisis, sources have told the Guardian. The review, written by a consultant and submitted in May, offered a highly critical analysis of the UN's approach and said there should be "no silence on human rights". Continue reading... |
| Catalan president accuses Spanish king of being government mouthpiece Posted: 05 Oct 2017 02:15 AM PDT Carles Puigdemont calls for dialogue with Madrid but says he will press on with plans for declaration of independence Catalonia's president has accused King Felipe of Spain of acting as a mouthpiece for the Spanish government as the country wrestles with the region's secession crisis and has vowed to press on with plans to declare independence over the next week. Speaking three days after his government's unilaterally held independence referendum was marred by police violence, Carles Puigdemont said Catalans were united as never before but added he was disappointed by the king's recent intervention. |
| Hawija: Iraqi army says it has recaptured one of last Isis enclaves Posted: 05 Oct 2017 01:20 AM PDT If confirmed, capture would mean only area of Iraq that remains under Islamic State control is stretch along Syrian border The Iraqi army says its forces have captured the town of Hawija and the surrounding area from Islamic State, though some fighting still raged in a pocket to the north and east of the town where the militants were surrounded. Hawija is the militants' last stronghold in northern Iraq. If confirmed, its capture will mean the only area that remains under control of Isis in Iraq will be a stretch alongside the western border with Syria. Hawija is near the Kurdish-held oil city of Kirkuk. Continue reading... |
| Japanese woman 'dies from overwork' after logging 159 hours of overtime in a month Posted: 05 Oct 2017 12:11 AM PDT Fate of media worker Miwa Sado, 31, piles pressure on authorities to address large number of deaths linked to labour practices Japan has again been forced to confront its work culture after labour inspectors ruled that the death of a 31-year-old employee of the country's public broadcaster, NHK, had been caused by overwork. Miwa Sado, who worked at the broadcaster's headquarters in Tokyo, logged 159 hours of overtime and took only two days off in the month leading up to her death from heart failure in July 2013.

| Negative campaign sites scandal shakes up Austrian election race Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:00 PM PDT Chancellor denies knowledge of sites of antisemitic and xenophobic conspiracy theories, allegedly run by former adviser Austria's centre-left chancellor is battling allegations that his party paid for a group of websites churning out xenophobic and antisemitic conspiracy theories in order to discredit his main challenger in the eyes of far-right supporters. The scandal, which has rocked Austrian politics two weeks before the country goes to the polls to elect a new government, centres on at least two Facebook sites dedicated to the centre-right foreign minister and candidate for chancellor, Sebastian Kurz.

| Che Guevara's legacy still contentious 50 years after his death in Bolivia Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:30 PM PDT The remote village where the Argentina-born revolutionary was executed is now a tourist attraction but the fortunes of his regional political heirs are on the wane On 3 November 1966, a middle-aged Uruguayan businessman named Adolfo Mena González touched down in La Paz, Bolivia. He took a hotel suite overlooking the snowbound heights of Mount Illimani, and photographed himself – overweight, balding, lit cigar in his mouth – in the mirror. In reality, however, he was none other than Ernesto "Che" Guevara – the Argentina-born revolutionary who helped topple Cuba's US-backed dictator, lectured the United States from a UN lectern, penned treatises on Marxism and guerrilla warfare, and sought to export socialism worldwide.

| Brazil's mega hydro plan foreshadows China's growing impact on the Amazon Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:45 PM PDT The government wants to open up the Tapajós basin – an area the size of France – for trade with China. But the indigenous Munduruku won't let it happen without a fight Crashing upstream through the São Luiz rapids, the churning river throws the speedboat around like a child's toy. There is first a moment of fear, then relief and finally wonder at crossing a natural boundary that has held back the destruction of this corner of the Amazon for almost five centuries. This is the gateway to a land that indigenous inhabitants call Mundurukania, after their tribe, the Munduruku, which has settled the middle and upper reaches of the Rio Tapajós since ancient times. The thickly vegetated shores, misty hills and untamed waters – breached at one point by a dolphin – mark it out as one of the few regions of the planet still to be explored and exploited by industrial commerce.

| Saudi king's visit to Russia heralds shift in global power structures Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:00 PM PDT Vladimir Putin hopes first official trip by Saudi monarch to Moscow will seal powerful new alliance centred on oil and conflicts in the Gulf states Russia will host its first visit by a Saudi monarch on Thursday, in an attempt to seal an alliance that would confirm Moscow as a major independent force in the Middle East capable of shaping worldwide oil prices and the outcome of regional conflicts such as those in Syria and Libya. With diplomatic alliances shifting across the Middle East, Moscow hopes that King Salman's historic four-day visit will show that Moscow can forge close alliances with all the key Middle East players, including Turkey, Iran and now Saudi. |
| Turkish court hands down 40 life sentences over plot to kill Erdoğan Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:14 AM PDT Turkish president fled scene minutes before soldiers in helicopters stormed resort hotel during failed coup attempt in July 2016 A Turkish court has handed down life sentences to dozens of people accused of attempting to assassinate President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in one of the highest-profile trials dealing with last year's attempted military coup. Nearly 50 defendants stood trial in Muğla, near where soldiers in helicopters stormed a resort hotel where Erdoğan was on holiday in July 2016, just minutes after the Turkish leader had fled. The suspects, who were accused of orchestrating the ambush, include the president's former military aide and other senior officers. Continue reading... |

| Top Senate intelligence duo: Russia did interfere in 2016 election Posted: 04 Oct 2017 02:12 PM PDT Chairman Richard Burr says he endorses findings that Russia meddled in election but says it is 'open question' whether Trump team colluded with Moscow The Senate intelligence committee has said it has confidence in an US agency finding earlier this year that Russia intervened in the US presidential election in an effort to skew the vote in Donald Trump's favour. The committee chairman, Republican senator Richard Burr, said it remained an "open question" whether there was collusion by the Trump campaign with Moscow. But he added that Russian intelligence could threaten the next round of congressional elections next year. Continue reading... |
| Dozens of Syrian civilians 'killed in Russian airstrike' Posted: 04 Oct 2017 09:37 AM PDT Human rights monitor says nine children were among victims, who were trying to cross Euphrates river to escape fighting A Russian airstrike has killed 38 civilians as they tried to cross the Euphrates river to escape fighting in eastern Syria's Deir ez-Zor province, a monitor has said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, said nine children were among those killed as they tried to cross the river aboard rafts, escaping from areas where Russian-backed regime forces are battling the Islamic State group.

| Italian leftwing fugitive Cesare Battisti detained in Brazil after decades on run Posted: 04 Oct 2017 04:26 PM PDT Battisti was apparently trying to leave Brazil after Italy reportedly asked for his extradition to serve a prison sentence for four murders committed in 1970s Brazilian police have detained Cesare Battisti, an Italian writer and former leftwing guerrilla who was convicted of murder in his home country and has been on the run for decades. Battisti was apparently trying to leave Brazil after Italy reportedly asked Brazil's government to revoke his asylum status and extradite him to serve his prison sentence. |
| Walruses face 'death sentence' as Trump administration fails to list them as endangered Posted: 04 Oct 2017 11:54 AM PDT Fish and Wildlife Service decides Pacific walrus may be able to adapt to loss of sea ice and is unlikely to be seen as endangered 'in the foreseeable future' The Trump administration has declined to list the Pacific walrus as endangered after deciding that the huge tusked mammals may be able to adapt to the loss of the sea ice that they currently depend upon. The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) said that the walruses were unlikely to be considered endangered "in the foreseeable future", defined as from now until 2060, adding: "At this time, sufficient resources remain to meet the subspecies' physical and ecological needs now and into the future."

| Rex Tillerson says he won't quit but doesn't deny calling Trump a 'moron' Posted: 04 Oct 2017 08:37 AM PDT
The US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, has denied he has considered resignation and pledged loyalty to Donald Trump in the wake of a report that he had called the president a "moron". "There has never been a consideration in my mind to leave. I serve at the appointment of the president and I'm here as long as the president thinks I can be useful to achieving his objectives," Tillerson said at a hastily arranged press appearance on Wednesday.

| Canada children's book recalled amid accusations of whitewashing history Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:05 AM PDT
A Canadian publishing company has recalled a children's workbook after critics accused it of "whitewashing" the treatment of First Nations following the arrival of European settlers in Canada. The workbook, designed as supplementary material for school-age children, recasts the dispossession of First Nations peoples as voluntary, with no mention of lands not signed away through treaty or government policies that sought to starve First Nations peoples in order to move them to reserves.

| Holy khao! The battle for the future of Bangkok street food Posted: 04 Oct 2017 04:00 AM PDT Authorities have tried to get rid of the wonderful stalls blocking pavements around the Thai capital, citing safety concerns. It doesn't seem to have had much effect, but just in case, here are three you can make yourself Stepping gingerly into a torrent of traffic to avoid a red-hot grill of pork skewers, I reflect that there's not a lot of evidence of the much-trumpeted crackdown on Bangkok street food sellers in evidence in the smart district of Sukhumvit. The international media went to town on the story earlier this year, claiming the city would be "unrecognisable" without its famous fragrant stalls, blaming "gentrification" and calling it "a banal assault on way of life". Months later, however, it's still hard to make your way along the cracked pavements of the stall-filled sidestreets without risk to life and limb. The city authorities cited "order and hygiene" concerns, claiming it was part of a campaign to "return the footpath to pedestrians", but were quick to state, in response to the outcry, that there would be "no outright ban". Instead, they said, regulations were just being enforced. Yet reports persisted of evictions, and many people I spoke to in the city seemed to have a story of a favourite stall that had disappeared overnight. James Hacon, the strategy director for Thai Leisure Group, a UK restaurant company set up by a former Bangkok street food vendor, tells me he has noticed a decline in the number of stalls even in the short time he has been a regular visitor: "There are only two night markets left now … there used to be loads."

| Michael Gove accused of breaking Brexit pledges to Scottish farmers Posted: 05 Oct 2017 01:35 AM PDT Scottish ministers accuse UK environment secretary of failing to guarantee livelihoods of many of country's farmers Michael Gove has been accused by Scottish ministers of breaking Brexit campaign promises to protect rural funding from the EU worth hundreds of millions of pounds. The Scottish government said Gove, the UK environment secretary, had refused to guarantee that £700m in funding for the country's vulnerable hill farmers, forestry industries and crofters would still be paid out after Brexit.

| Posted: 05 Oct 2017 01:28 AM PDT Google and Wikipedia have a responsibility to see that their content isn't skewed – and we users should hold them to account We recently passed a milestone in the history of human connectivity – people online now make up the majority of the world's population. This has largely gone unnoticed, but it is an important moment and not just for statistical reasons. North American and European internet users now make up only about a quarter of the world's users. Furthermore, while countries like the US and the UK have almost reached internet saturation, Africa, Asia and Latin America are home to billions more people who will come online in the next few years.

| Vast animal-feed crops to satisfy our meat needs are destroying planet Posted: 05 Oct 2017 02:02 AM PDT WWF report finds 60% of global biodiversity loss is down to meat-based diets which put huge strain on Earth's resources The ongoing global appetite for meat is having a devastating impact on the environment driven by the production of crop-based feed for animals, a new report has warned. The vast scale of growing crops such as soy to rear chickens, pigs and other animals puts an enormous strain on natural resources leading to the wide-scale loss of land and species, according to the study from the conservation charity WWF.

| Dianne Feinstein introduces Senate gun control bill to ban bump stocks Posted: 05 Oct 2017 01:36 AM PDT
Democrats on Wednesday lined up behind a bill that would outlaw the the sale and possession of "bump stocks", a device the Las Vegas gunman used to retrofit his weapons with rapid-fire capabilities, leaving 59 victims dead and more than 500 injured in just nine minutes. Senator Dianne Feinstein, a longtime advocate of stricter gun control, introduced the bill, which she had first brought forward after 20 children and six adults were killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school in December 2012. The earlier bill, which would have reinstated a federal assault weapons ban, failed by a wide margin in the Senate. Continue reading... |
| Ten-year-olds could be held without charge under new terrorism laws Posted: 05 Oct 2017 01:39 AM PDT Michael Keenan says there would be 'an enormous level of safeguards' if minors were held for 14 days with no charges Children as young as 10 could be held by police for 14 days without charge under a new national detention law applying to terrorism suspects, the justice minister has confirmed.

| 'Path to illegal behaviour': UK accused of failing to press home anti-slavery law Posted: 04 Oct 2017 06:50 AM PDT Campaigners urge government to act against companies that do not comply with legislation requiring them to disclose trafficking and slavery risks The government must start enforcing new legislation requiring companies to disclose slavery and trafficking risks in their supply chains, say anti-slavery campaigners. Under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, any company with a turnover of more than £36m that is registered and provides goods and services in the UK must file an annual statement under the Act's transparency in supply chain (Tisc) clause. In the statement, they must identify risks of slavery and human trafficking in their supply chain, and outline the steps they are taking to tackle those risks. Continue reading... |

| The Guardian view on taxing the digital economy: crunch time | Editorial Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:25 AM PDT The EU commission is demanding huge backpayments from Apple and Amazon. But there's still not enough progress on getting the system right The EU's faltering progress towards a common system of taxing the huge revenues of the new digital giants lurched forward this morning as Margrethe Vestager, the EU commissioner in charge of competition, declared that Amazon had received unfair state aid from Luxembourg through its tax arrangements, and demanded that it pay €250m (£222m) in back taxes. At the same time, Ms Verstager announced that the European commission would haul Ireland up before the European court of justice for its failure to demand €13bn of unpaid tax from Apple, identified in an earlier investigation. The two events illustrate the gulf between the commission, together with some of the EU's largest economies, and smaller members such as Ireland, Luxembourg and the Baltic state of Estonia, which hosted a summit on the digital economy last week. Both Ireland and Luxembourg defend their tax arrangements. Ireland in particular welcomes the thousands of good jobs that the tech giants bring and has no desire to find ways of extracting more tax from them in case it drives them away. The Irish government also insists that taxation is a sovereign matter, not an arena for EU interference. Continue reading... |
| Five things you could do right now to reduce gun violence in America Posted: 04 Oct 2017 08:52 AM PDT Political deadlock over gun control can make it feel like nothing will change but some actions could be taken today without a single vote in Congress One of the most dangerous myths of America's gun debate is that passing federal gun control laws is the only way to prevent gun violence and save lives – and that therefore the issue is hopeless and nothing will change. That's a convenient excuse for apathy, but it's not true. In fact, there are many different avenues to preventing gun violence. Very few of them rely completely on politicians in Washington. No matter where you live, there are steps you can take to prevent violence and make the people around you safer. Continue reading... |
| As Catalonia crisis escalates, EU is nowhere to be seen Posted: 04 Oct 2017 04:42 AM PDT Argument that Brussels has no standing in independence dispute is legally contentious and politically unsustainable Who will save the Spanish from themselves? As mutual rage grows, Catalonia seems to be heading off a cliff. Carles Puigdemont, the separatists' leader, is vowing to declare an independent state within days. King Felipe had one shot at reuniting the country – and blew it with a one-sided, darkly scare-mongering speech. Mariano Rajoy, Spain's prime minister, is not backing down either. He is threatening direct rule from Madrid and a mass purge if a Catalonian unilateral declaration of independence goes ahead. That is a recipe for violence far exceeding last Sunday's street clashes with police. Continue reading... |
| 'If it was an inch over I would have been gone': Las Vegas survivor recounts being shot – video Posted: 04 Oct 2017 08:13 PM PDT Canadian Braden Matejka recounts when bullets starting raining down in an attack that became the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history. He and his girlfriend, Amanda Homulos, ran for cover but had to flee further when bullets ripped into the tent they had sheltered in. The next thing Matejka recalls is falling face-first to the ground after he was shot in the head. 'There was blood all the way down the back of my head, down my neck and my pants,' he says.
