Cambodia's Hun Sen hails 'elimination' of opposition at mass rally

Posted: 26 Jul 2018 05:54 PM PDT

Cambodia's Hun Sen hails 'elimination' of opposition at mass rallyCambodia's strongman ruler hailed Friday the success of efforts to "eliminate traitors" at a mass rally ahead of an election without a credible opposition that will leave the country as a virtual one-party state. Tens of thousands of supporters decked in the ruling party's white and blue arrived from dawn in the centre of the capital, some on motorbikes and buses, in an impressive show of support for the Cambodia People's Party (CPP), which premier Hun Sen has led for 33 years. In typically bombastic comments, Hun Sen vowed victory on Sunday and took a swipe at his opponents, many of whom have been jailed, prodded into self-exile or have gone to ground inside the kingdom since the ruling.

Pope accepts US cardinal's resignation after sexual abuse claim 

Posted: 28 Jul 2018 08:14 AM PDT

Pope accepts US cardinal's resignation after sexual abuse claim One of America's most prominent Catholic cardinals has resigned after an allegation was made that he sexually abused a teenage boy almost 50 years ago.  Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, wrote to the Vatican offering his resignation on Friday, which was accepted by Pope Francis.  A statement from the Vatican issued on Saturday read: "Yesterday evening the Holy Father received the letter in which Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington (USA), presented his resignation as a member of the College of Cardinals.  "Pope Francis accepted his resignation from the cardinalate and has ordered his suspension from the exercise of any public ministry, together with the obligation to remain in a house yet to be indicated to him, for a life of prayer and penance until the accusations made against him are examined in a regular canonical trial." Mr McCarrick, 88, was ordained in 1958 and rose through the ranks in the Archdiocese of New York before being installed as archbishop of Washington in 2001, a post he held until 2006. Pope Francis recently criticised the "culture of abuse and cover-up" in the Catholic Church Credit: VINCENZO PINTO/AFP/Getty Images He is officially retired but continues to travel abroad regularly, speaking on issues such as human rights.  The allegation related to Mr McCarrick's time in New York. He was accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old who was being measured for a new cassock, according to The New York Times.  The claim was investigated for the New York archdiocese by a group of jurists, law enforcement experts, parents, psychologists, and religious figures. The group judged that the allegations were "credible and substantiated". Mr McCarrick was removed from public ministry on June 20.  Mr McCarrick said in a statement at the time that he was "shocked" by the report and maintained his innocence. He also said he had co-operated with the investigation.  "My sadness was deepened when I was informed that the allegations had been determined credible and substantiated," he said in the statement.  Mr McCarrick added: "While I have absolutely no recollection of this reported abuse, and believe in my innocence, I am sorry for the pain the person who brought the charges has gone through, as well as for the scandal such charges cause our people." At the time senior US church officials said they had received three allegations of McCarrick's sexual misconduct with adults decades ago, two of which resulted in settlements. A Catholic University canon law expert, Kurt Martens, noted that this was the first time an order of penance and prayer had been issued before a church trial could take place. Earlier this year Pope Francis publicly criticsed the "culture of abuse and cover-up" in the Catholic Church, saying it must "never again" be allowed to happen.

1,500 migrants have died in Mediterranean in 2018, Italy deadliest route -UNBy Stephanie Nebehay GENEVA (Reuters) - For the fifth straight year, at least 1,500 migrants have perished in the Mediterranean, with the route between Libya and Italy being the deadliest, claiming the lives of one in 19, the U.N. migration agency said on Friday. Spain, which has overtaken Italy as the preferred destination, has registered nearly 21,000 migrants so far this year, almost more than in the whole of last year, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said. Italy - whose new government has closed its ports to rescue vessels - has had about 18,130 migrants arriving by sea from Libya this year, with the rest going to Greece, Malta and Cyprus.

US judge praises govt on reunifications, demands moreA federal judge praised the US government Friday for reuniting 1,800 migrant children it took from their families at the Mexican border -- but demanded that the focus shift to 400 who remain in custody because their parents have been deported. Judge Dana Sabraw spoke out a day after it was revealed that hundreds of families had still not been reunited after being split under President Donald Trump's controversial "zero tolerance" policy against undocumented migrants. Sabraw had ordered that all eligible migrant families be brought back together by 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) Thursday.

Zimbabwe's jobless generation hopes election will mark a changeBy Sisipho Skweyiya HARARE (Reuters) - Young voters in Zimbabwe hope the first election without Robert Mugabe will mark a change in a country where most of them are unemployed, and say the older generation has failed to deliver them a future. Monday's contest pits Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former Mugabe deputy who became president after his boss was ousted, against Nelson Chamisa, a 40-year-old lawyer and part-time preacher who is appealing for votes from the young and disillusioned.

Israel vows to expand settlements after Israeli father stabbed to death by Palestinian teen

Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:06 AM PDT

Israel vows to expand settlements after Israeli father stabbed to death by Palestinian teenIsrael will build hundreds of new settlement homes in response to the killing of an Israeli father by a Palestinian teenager in the occupied West Bank, Israel's defence minister said.   A 17-year-old Palestinian crept into the settlement of Adam on Thursday night and stabbed  Yotam Ovadia, 31, to death. He wounded two other Israelis before being shot dead.  Mr Ovadia was a father to two young children and was reportedly on his way home to cook a meal for his wife when he was killed. Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's defence minister, said the government would respond by approving 400 new homes in the settlement. "The best answer to terrorism is the expansion of settlements," Mr Lieberman said.  Israel's government often responds to attacks against settlements by promising to expand the settlements even further. Britain and most of the international community believes the settlements are illegal.   Mr Ovadia's killer was identified in Palestinian media as Mohammed Youssef, from the Palestinian village of Kauber. Relatives and friends gather around the body of Yotam Ovadia during his funeral in Jerusalem Credit: AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner The Israeli military raided the village on Friday morning and questioned several members of Youssef's family.  The army will demolish the family's house as part of a widely-criticised Israeli policy of destroying the homes of Palestinian attackers to try to deter future assaults.  A crowd of around 150 people resisted the military's incursion into the village with rocks and fire bombs, the military said.    The two other Israeli men wounded in the stabbing attack in Adam are expected to survive their injuries.  Jason Greenblatt, Donald Trump's peace envoy, denounced the killing as "another barbaric attack" and asked when Palestinian leaders would condemn the stabbing.  Yet another barbaric attack tonight. When will President Abbas and Palestinian leaders condemn the violence? Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families tonight.— Jason D. Greenblatt (@jdgreenblatt45) July 26, 2018 Israeli ministers also blamed the Palestinian Authority for the violence, saying it was fueled by the Palestinian policy of making payments to the families of attackers.   The Palestinian Authority is yet to condemn the attack. It defends the policy of payments as part of a justified resistance to Israeli occupation.  Hamas praised the attack as a "heroic action". The killing of Mr Ovadia and the army raid on Koubar came amid heightened tensions across the Holy Land.  Palestinians clashed with Israeli police outside the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on Friday. Video showed young men shooting fireworks towards police while officers responded with stun grenades. Largescale Palestinian protests are also expected at the Gaza border on Friday, after a week of on-off fighting between Israel and Hamas.  Six Hamas fighters have been killed since last Friday, while one Israeli soldier was killed and another was wounded.

Painfully awkward photo shows Mueller and Trump Jr. waiting at the same airport gate

Posted: 27 Jul 2018 03:12 PM PDT

Painfully awkward photo shows Mueller and Trump Jr. waiting at the same airport gatePolitico caught Donald Trump Jr. and Robert Mueller very awkwardly hanging out at the same airport gate in Washington D.C. on Friday.  In the photo, Don Jr. — or as he likes to call himself in his gym selfies, Donald Pump — leans against the back wall talking on the phone. Despite his camouflage hat, he fails to blend into the airport's stark gray wall because he's wearing an unreasonably bright teal shirt. He's doing what we've all done before when we run into someone we really don't want to make small talk with: chilling on his phone.  SEE ALSO: Mueller reportedly wants to question Trump about his Tweets Robert Mueller, meanwhile, very pointedly stares at the newspaper in his hands. If he just looked up and behind him he would make eye contact with the son of the man he's leading an investigation against.  The awkwardness in that airport is so tense, you can feel it through the photo.  In case you have any doubts, Politico's Jake Sherman confirmed that the man in the offensively vibrant shirt is indeed Donald Trump Jr. According to CNN, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr confirmed that it is Mueller waiting at the gate.  For the clowns saying that it was not Donald Trump Jr., here he is on the flight from dca to hpn (westchester county) w secret service agent. pic.twitter.com/GGZciqrrTG — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) July 27, 2018 People couldn't help but joke about the tension at that airport gate.

Mueller's probably better off that way. WATCH: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It's an inflatable Trump baby flying around London

Twitter warns fake account purge to keep erasing users, shares drop 19 percent

Twitter warns fake account purge to keep erasing users, shares drop 19 percentTwitter Inc on Friday said it lost 1 million monthly active users from the previous quarter and warned the closely watched figure could keep falling as it deletes more phony accounts, causing the biggest one-day decline in its shares since 2016. The company said the work it was doing to clean up Twitter by purging automated and spam accounts had some impact on user metrics in the second quarter, and that it was deciding to prioritize tackling suspicious accounts and reducing hate speech and other abusive content over projects that could attract more users. Allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election by spreading misleading or divisive content over social media have made the issue of improving control over accounts and content critical for Twitter.
