| Trump sticks to the script on Asia tour – but still leaves confusion in his wake Posted: 13 Nov 2017 04:17 PM PST While the president's 12-day tour went better than expected (and expectations were low), uncertainty lingers about his policies in Asia After 12 days of daily summits in five countries on the Pacific rim, Donald Trump prepared to head home on Tuesday leaving behind a region largely relieved that the US president did not escalate existing relations but still confused about his administration's policies in Asia. Trump has said he will deliver his own verdict on the trip in what he promised would be a "major statement" on North Korea and trade, the headline themes of the trip. From past experience that is likely to be an upbeat assessment. Several times along the road he described his reception as unprecedented and claimed that "big progress" had been made on trade deals, though he gave no details. Continue reading... |
| One Facebook ‘like’ is all it takes to target adverts, academics find Posted: 13 Nov 2017 12:00 PM PST Online ad campaigns based on smallest expressions of preference reveal effect of 'mass psychological persuasion' Online ad campaigns created by academics in Britain and the US have targeted millions of people based on psychological traits perceived from a single "like" on Facebook – demonstrating, they say, the effect of "mass psychological persuasion". More than 3.5 million people, mostly women in the UK aged 18-40, were shown online adverts tailored to their personality type after researchers found that specific Facebook likes reflected different psychological characteristics. |
| Delhi's smog-fighting helicopters can't fly – because of smog Posted: 13 Nov 2017 10:41 PM PST City administrators were told the choppers would be unable to help dissipate the smog until the smog itself cleared An ambitious plan to use helicopters to fight Delhi's air pollution has been grounded – because the aircraft cannot operate in such thick smog. The Delhi government had engaged a state-owned helicopter company to formulate a plan to use the aircraft to sprinkle water over the city. Continue reading... |
| Evidence of world's earliest winemaking uncovered by archaeologists Posted: 13 Nov 2017 12:00 PM PST Humans made grape wine hundreds of years earlier than previously believed, according to analysis of clay pottery dating back to 6,000 BC A series of excavations in Georgia has uncovered evidence of the world's earliest winemaking, in the form of telltale traces within clay pottery dating back to 6,000BC – suggesting that the practice of making grape wine began hundreds of years earlier than previously believed. While there are thousands of cultivars of wine around the world, almost all derive from just one species of grape, with the Eurasian grape the only species ever domesticated. |

| 'Tobacco at a cancer summit': Trump coal push savaged at climate conference Posted: 13 Nov 2017 01:40 PM PST The US administration's attempt to portray fossil fuels as vital to reducing poverty and saving US jobs is ridiculed in Bonn The Trump team was heckled and interrupted by a protest song at the UN's climate change summit in Bonn on Monday after using its only official appearance to say fossil fuels were vital to reducing poverty around the world and to saving jobs in the US. While Donald Trump's special adviser on energy and environment, David Banks, said cutting emissions was a US priority, "energy security, economic prosperity are higher priorities", he said. "The president has a responsibility to protect jobs and industry across the country." Continue reading... |

| Turkish marriage law a blow to women's rights, say activists Posted: 14 Nov 2017 01:51 AM PST Bill allowing Muslim clerics to conduct civil marriages passed despite protests amid fears it could lead to more child brides Activists and opposition politicians in Turkey have rounded on a law that allows Muslim clerics to conduct civil marriages, describing it as a blow to women's rights and secularism and part of an ongoing effort to impose religious values on a polarised society. The law allowing "mufti" marriages was passed by parliament and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan then published in the country's official gazette on Friday, despite protests by civil society activists and opposition lawmakers. Last month Erdoğan declared that the bill would be passed "whether you like it or not". Continue reading... |
| David Davis's Brexit vote offer fails to win over Tory rebels Posted: 14 Nov 2017 01:47 AM PST Rebels make clear they will not back down after Brexit secretary's concession of a 'take it or leave it' vote on any exit deal A key parliamentary battle over crucial Brexit legislation will recommence in parliament, as Conservative MPs suggested a concession by David Davis to give MPs a "take it or leave it" vote on any exit deal would not be enough to stave off rebellion. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, before eight days of debate over the EU withdrawal bill, the Brexit secretary pledged to introduce legislation to parliament that will allow MPs to vote on the final Brexit deal, either to accept or reject it and crash out with no deal in place.

| Lunching ranger discovers species lost for 40 years Posted: 14 Nov 2017 12:52 AM PST In 1975 two conservationists discovered a gorgeous salamander in the rainforests of Guatemala. No one ever saw it again – and Jackson's climbing salamander was feared extinct – until last month when local forest guard, Ramos León-Tomás, sat down in the forest for lunch. The last time anyone saw Jackson's climbing salamander – I didn't yet exist. It was 1975: Margaret Thatcher took over leadership of the Tories, Saigon fell to Communist forces, the USSR was still a thing, and everyone was listening to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. And in Guatemala, reeling from over a decade of civil war, two American conservationists found a little treasure of black and gold: they named it Jackson's climbing salamander. Then it vanished as if it had never been. Forty-two years later a lot has changed. The world is hotter than it has been in over 100,000 years and species are vanishing at rates that portend mass extinction. Yet, miracles can still happen. |

| 'Children were sleeping inside': Amnesty urges Nigeria to end bulldozer evictions Posted: 13 Nov 2017 11:00 PM PST Rights group demands action over Lagos state's 'attacks on poor communities' living on lucrative land, which it says have killed 11 people and displaced 30,000 Amnesty International has called on the Nigerian government to stop the violent evictions of people from waterfront communities in Lagos that have left 11 dead.

| Punta Arenas in the spotlight: Chile's oil-rich gateway city to the Antarctic Posted: 13 Nov 2017 03:52 AM PST It once hosted Captain Scott and serves as a jumping-off point for expeditions to the icy wastes to the south. Global investment lies ahead – and better housing for the city's indigenous population When Robert Scott's frozen remains were recovered 105 years ago this week, Antarctic exploration was a European-only affair. Now it's a bustling global concern, poised to open up even more as the ice caps recede. Chile's southernmost city, Punta Arenas, a wind-bitten port of nearly 130,000 on the Strait of Magellan, is jostling for position as gateway city to the Antarctic. It welcomed Scott himself in July 1904 when the Englishman sent 400 letters announcing the safe return of his Discovery expedition at the post office on Plaza Muñoz Gamero. One of his officers pronounced the city a "wretched-looking place". Not so much now, with Punta Arenas hosting the national Antarctic programmes of 20 countries and becoming one of Chile's fastest-growing cities in the process. Continue reading... |

| A prisoner and now a pawn on two gigantic diplomatic chessboards | Patrick Wintour Posted: 13 Nov 2017 09:00 PM PST Brexit and the UK's future relationship with a fracturing Middle East are intertwined with the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe Boris Johnson claimed on Monday "there is nothing more important than the safe return of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and that trumps all other political considerations in this country". However, that assurance is hardly likely to feel credible for her husband, Richard, who admitted earlier: "I think there is a wider politics that people are positioning themselves around." Indeed, the Zaghari-Ratcliffe family is gradually discovering what it is to be a pawn on not one but two gigantic diplomatic chessboards. For both Brexit and the UK's future relationship with a fracturing Middle East are now intertwined in her case. Continue reading... |
| Death threats and a ‘ghost warrant’ – why is Malawi hounding Joyce Banda? | Cherie Blair Posted: 14 Nov 2017 01:30 AM PST The rule of law is failing in this important African state, as the former president is forced to stay in exile amid a culture of fear and impunity A country of spectacular natural beauty, boasting one of Africa's Great Lakes, sprawling forests and the mist-laced Shire Highlands, Malawi is a small land-locked country in east Africa. It is rarely in the spotlight and, even then, it's most likely because of a celebrity sighting: Madonna has adopted four Malawian children and visited most recently to build a paediatric hospital; Prince Harry is a regular, lately volunteering in the relocation of elephants with the NGO African Parks. While Malawi does not enjoy the same international attention as heavyweights South Africa, Nigeria or Kenya, it is a regional leader boasting the first elected female vice-president of any African country, and only the second country on the continent to have a female president, Joyce Banda, whom I have known for many years.

| It’s time to end America’s gun violence epidemic. Help us change the conversation Posted: 13 Nov 2017 11:00 PM PST Today the Guardian US is launching Break the Cycle, a new series to challenge the orthodoxy that gun reform is a hopeless pursuit Gun violence in America follows a ritualized playbook. Shootings happen, outrage is expressed, debate ensues, preventative measures are suggested. Then the backlash begins. And nothing happens. It's clear that the cyclical way the media covers America's gun violence is letting politicians off the hook. Within days of each massacre, the satellite trucks pack up, the headlines fade and the brief opening for a national conversation ends. Continue reading... |

| Denis Goldberg, hero of anti-apartheid struggle, tells of his last battle – for art Posted: 11 Nov 2017 04:05 PM PST The ANC politician who spent 22 years in a cell after being jailed with Nelson Mandela is now 84 Denis Goldberg has faced down death before. Half a century ago he sat in the dock with Nelson Mandela at the Rivonia trial, the court case that shaped modern South Africa. Both were expecting to be executed for their fight against apartheid. When the judge handed down a sentence of life imprisonment instead, he called out in joy to his anxious mother: "It's life, and life is wonderful." He confesses to being a born optimist. Now 84, and facing in lung cancer an enemy even more implacable than the apartheid state, he is hoping to defy death for another short spell while he throws himself into one last campaign, to build a centre for the arts – to be called House of Hope – in his home town of Hout Bay.
