Sara Netanyahu undergoes lie detector test in bid to deflect fraud investigation 

Posted: 03 Sep 2017 09:14 AM PDT

Sara Netanyahu undergoes lie detector test in bid to deflect fraud investigation Sara Netanyahu, the wife of the Israeli Prime Minister, has undergone a lie-detector test in an attempt to deflect allegations she misused public funds.  Police are investigating her on fraud and breach of trust charges after the former caretaker of her official residence made claims she had told him to inflate the number of guests at dinners and to record their purpose as state instead of private in order to receive more money for them.  She has denied the charges. Avi Hadad, the owner of the company which conducted the test, said that, "upon examination of the test, we did not find in Mrs. Netanyahu's answers to the relevant questions any physiological responses which would indicate she is lying." Mrs Netanyahu is a divisive figure, and has been described as "one of the most unpopular people in Israel".  The results of private lie detector tests are not admissible in Israeli courts because they are not believed to be reliable.  The news of the test came amid reports on Israeli television that the attorney general was expected to indict her by September 10.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara Credit: REUTERS/Amir Cohen  Yossi Cohen, her lawyer, told Israeli public radio that the decision to take the test was taken, "following the horrible mudslinging against her and after we heard that she is going to be put on trial". Her husband, Benjamin Netanyahu, is also under investigation in two corruption cases. The first relates to suspicion he received illegal gifts from wealthy supporters, and the second alleges that he attempted to improperly arrange favorable coverage from a daily newspaper in exchange for legislation that would have hurt its competitor.  He has been questioned in relation to both the cases. Close associates of his are also implicated in two other corruption investigations, though Mr Netanyahu is not directly suspected in them. The scandals resulting from accusations against him and his inner circle have raised questions about his political survival.  He denies all allegations of wrongdoing, and is not required to stand down unless convicted.

Mexico breaks world record with 3-tonne guacamoleBy Fernando Carranza CONCEPCION DE BUENOS AIRES, Mexico (Reuters) - The recipe for a record-breaking guacamole? 25,000 avocados and 1,000 people to mash them. That is what avocado growers in Mexico's Jalisco state mobilized on Sunday to break the world record for the biggest guacamole, a whopping 3 tonnes (6,600 lbs) of delicious dip made from "green gold." The mass mash-up was part entertainment and part politicking, as growers and Mexico make the point that they - and the guacamole loving Americans - have benefited from the North American Free Trade Agreement that is now under threat from U. ...

Row over bears in France intensifies after angry farmers 'fire shots' in protest at sheep deaths

Row over bears in France intensifies after angry farmers 'fire shots' in protest at sheep deathsA bitter dispute over bears in France's Pyrenees mountains has intensified after farmers were accused of firing "50 shots" at state experts who came to assess how many sheep the beasts had killed. Prosecutors in the Ariège, south-west France, have launched a judicial investigation into "violence with weapons" after a group of "thirty aggressive people" allegedly unleashed a hail of bullets in the vicinity of four experts from the national hunting and wildlife office, ONCFS. The agents had come to check damage to sheep on August 25 after farmers reported fresh bear attacks on their livestock. The farmers threatened to kill the terrified experts, according to the Ariege authorities. A brown bear Credit: UKRAINE-BEAR/CENTER/REUTERS No-one was hurt but the shots were "manifestly to intimidate them", said Karline Bouisset,the local prosecutor, who denounced a "general climate of hostility". The experts' car tyres were also slashed. They have pressed for charges. Nicolas Hulot, the environment minister, swiftly condemned the incident. Tensions have reached boiling point in the mountain range that straddles the French-Spanish border since July, when more than 200 sheep died after they hurtled over the edge of a cliff in the Pyrenees while being chased by a bear. The sheep belonged to a farmer in the Couflens area on the French side of the border, but their bodies were found at the foot of a cliff just over the border in Spain. Local authorities sent experts to examine the scene and they concluded that the sheep had been running away from a bear. A female brown bear with cubs  Credit: TASS / Barcroft Images Owners are compensated for each animal killed under a deal between the government and farmers when brown bears from Slovenia were introduced in the late 1990s. But local sheep rearers complain that the bears have killed 400 livestock in the past month and say that cohabitation is no longer possible. "Given the situation, it is clear that the bear and pastoralism are incompatible," warned three farmers' unions.   They received the support of a group of local elected representatives who officially requested the French state remove the bear population, estimated at 39. The officials from the Ariège council said that the animals, should be "sent back" to their native Slovenia. France, eastern Pyrenees , aerial view of Villefranche de Conflent, Mont Canigou Credit:  Brigitte MERLE/ Getty Images Alain Servat, mayor of Uvuas, where most of the sheep deaths have occurred, has even unilaterally passed a decree banning bears from "wandering" into the mountainous area around his village. "There will one day be a problem with man - a tourist or inhabitant," he warned. "Bears are no more peaceful here than in Canada where they take precautions," he told La Dépêche du Midi. Local state authorities say that coexistence is possible, pointing out that in return for re-introducing the bears, farmers receive financial compensation for any damage and funding to buy Pyrenean dogs capable of keeping bears at bay. "The state places supportive means to better protect shepherds and their flocks," Marie Lajust, the regional state prefect told AFP.  "But pastoralism must evolve." "I'd rather shoot a bear than see sheep rearer shoot himself in his barn out of despair," replied Bruno Besche-Commenge, spokesman for the anti-bear Association for the Sustainable Development of the Identity of the Pyrenees ADDIP.  He refused to condemn the shooting incident, saying that it was understandable that farmers were starting to "lose the plot" and that they had only fired in the air. He said that it was in practice impossible to implement the recommended protective measures given the "very steep" terrain and the fact that "bears like wolves are intelligent and find ways round them". "Last year the bears attacked and killed two 'patou' sheep dogs supposed to protect the flocks so it doesn't work," he told the Telegraph. If nothing is done, "pastoralism in the central Pyrenees will die out within three years," he predicted. For the pro-bear camp, bears only account for a tiny part of sheep losses in the Pyrenees.  "The amount of sheep killed (by bears) , without playing down the tragedy for rearers, is only a very small part of deaths due to falls, storms, parasites or other animals like stray dogs or wild boar," said Alain Reynes, president of Pays de l'Ours-Adet, a pro-bear association, who put figure of deaths from other causes at up to 30,000 per year. "The bear is a scapegoat." If anything, pro-bear activists warn, the bear population is at risk of dwindling because no new ones have been have been reintroduced to the region since 2006, with successive governments avoiding the issue.

China may be the real target of North Korea's pressure

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 04:36 AM PDT

China may be the real target of North Korea's pressureNorth Korea's escalating nuclear provocations are putting putative ally China in an increasing bind, and may be part of a strategy to twist Beijing's arm into orchestrating direct talks between Pyongyang and Washington, analysts said. The North's Kim dynasty has repeatedly used nuclear brinkmanship over the years in a push to be taken seriously by the United States but traditionally avoided causing major embarrassment to China, its sole major ally and economic lifeline. Communist propaganda deifies Xi as an infallible father figure, but Kim's actions are puncturing the facade and exposing the Chinese leader's impotence toward the nuclear crisis on his doorstep.

"We received a 'note verbale' today that he is coming," U.N. human rights spokesman Rolando Gomez said on Monday.

'The King of Cocaine'. Alleged mafia drugs kingpin arrested in South America after 23 years on the run

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 07:31 AM PDT

'The King of Cocaine'. Alleged mafia drugs kingpin arrested in South America after 23 years on the runAn alleged mafia boss nicknamed "the King of Cocaine" has been captured in South America after 23 years on the run. Rocco Morabito, who was wanted by Italian police for allegedly masterminding the trafficking of cocaine from Latin America to Europe, was arrested in a hotel in Uruguay. He is considered to be one of Italy's five most dangerous fugitives and has been on the run from arrest since 1994.  During a search of his home in Uruguay, police found 13 mobile phones, which investigators said were used for drug deals, a 9mm pistol, ammunition, a hunting knife and 150 passport photos of himself in different guises. Morabito had been on the run for more than 20 years when he was captured in Uruguay. Credit: EPA Morabito, an alleged kingpin in the 'Ndrangheta mafia, is believed to have been living in Uruguay for around a decade under the alias Francisco Capeletto Souza. He had been able to obtain Brazilian identity documents as well as the right to live in Uruguay. His arrest was the result of a joint operation between police in South America and investigators in Calabria, the home of the much-feared 'Ndrangheta. The villa in which Morabito lived with his wife in Uruguay. Credit: Uruguay interior minister The organized crime network, which for years has been extending its reach from its home territory to other parts of the world, makes millions by smuggling cocaine into Europe, often via Italy. Italian police described Morabito as "one of the most important members of the 'Ndrangheta".  He was arrested in a hotel in Punta del Este, a tourist resort about 90 miles from the capital, Montevideo.  Morabito was on Italy's list of most wanted fugitives. Credit: Italian police The arrest came "after months of intense international cooperation in intelligence matters," the Italian police said in a statement. His false identity was known to Interpol and when he checked into the hotel, an alert was generated.  "He didn't put up any resistance," said Emilio Russo, an Italian officer involved in the investigation. "He tried to deny who he really was, but when put under pressure admitted to his real identity. "We maintain that Morabito was still actively involved in criminality. He was not a former member of the 'Ndrangheta, he was still very much an active member." Police found weapons, ammunition and 13 mobile phones when they searched Morabito's home in Uruguay. Credit: Uruguay interior ministry His wife, a 54-year-old Angolan woman with a Portuguese passport, was also arrested.  When police searched their home, also in Punta del Este, they found the 13 mobile phones and weapons, as well as a dozen credit cards. A Mercedes car was impounded. Morabito is expected to be extradited back to Italy in the coming months, where he faces 30 years in prison for various crimes, including mafia association and drug trafficking. Italy's most notorious fugitive remains Matteo Messina Denaro, the alleged head of the Cosa Nostra mafia in Sicily, who has been on the run for 24 years.  His ability to elude capture has earned him almost mythical status among some Sicilians, and he has not been seen in public for years.  He is among the 10 most wanted criminals in the world, according to Forbes magazine.  He is alleged to have killed up to 50 people and once boasted: "I filled a cemetery all by myself." It is believed that he moves between safe houses in the Trapani area of western Sicily.


In Nicaragua, a fight to save endangered tapirs

In Nicaragua, a fight to save endangered tapirsThe largest land mammals in Central America, the brown, pig-like animals with sloping snouts came into the world in captivity, in an enclosure a short distance from the country's Masaya Volcano, under a scheme to save their endangered species. "Here, they're well fed," said Eduardo Sacasa, a wildlife expert who runs the reproductive program. Human encroachment and climate change have decimated the woodland habitat of the Baird's tapir, one of five species left in the world, and, along with human and feline predators, have helped wipe out 16 other tapir species.

Cambodian leader gets China's backing as West condemns crackdownBy Prak Chan Thul PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen won words of support from China on Monday after the United States and European Union condemned the arrest of his main rival and a widening crackdown on his critics before next year's election. A day after Kem Sokha was arrested in a midnight raid on his house, one of his deputies said donor countries should open their eyes to Cambodia's "false democracy" and put more pressure on Hun Sen. When asked about Kem Sokha's arrest at a press briefing in Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said China "supports the Cambodian government's efforts to protect national security and stability." Opposition politicians, rights groups and independent media have come under growing pressure as next year's election approaches.

Man charged over missing French nine-year old girl after 'DNA found in car'

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:01 AM PDT

Man charged over missing French nine-year old girl after 'DNA found in car'A 34-year old man has been charged and remanded in custody over the disappearance of a nine-year-old girl during a wedding in the Alps, say prosecutors. Maelys de Araujo was last seen in the early hours of Sunday August 27 at a community hall where the wedding was held in Pont-de-Beauvoisin, a village some 30 miles north of Grenoble. The suspect has told investigators that she "got into his car", his lawyer told  AFP, but denies abducting her.  The vehicle had previously caught the attention of investigators, as the owner had washed it after the wedding, he said in order to sell it. Maelys de Araujo went missing in the early hours of Sunday morning Credit: Gendarmerie Nationale Sniffer dogs lost the scent from Maelys's cuddly toy in a car park outside the venue, raising fears she was kidnapped and whisked away by car. She has not been found despite intense searches in the heavily wooded area where the wedding took place. Grenoble's prosecutor said that the suspect has been charged with "kidnapping, illegal confinement or arbitrary detention of a minor of less than 15 years" following a police probe. He was at the wedding during which the little girl - who was attending the event with her parents - went missing, the statement said. French gendarmes search through a forest in Pont-de-Beauvoisin on August 30 Credit: PHILIPPE DESMAZES/AFP The charged man is one of two suspects who were detained on Thursday over inconsistencies in their statements, but then released on Friday evening. Fresh evidence uncovered during the police probe had led to the suspect, who had been released, being recalled and questioned again, said the prosecutor. "Brought before investigating judges at the end of the afternoon, he contested the facts. Confronted with testimony, findings and scientific evidence, he persisted in his denials and explanations," the statement said. "This did not convince the investigative judges, who decided to hold him," it added. "After the debate... between the prosecutor and the defence," the man was placed "in provisional detention," the statement added. A group of citizens walks before taking part in a research operation, seven days after Maelys, 9, was reported missing on September 2 Credit: PHILIPPE DESMAZES/AFP Police technical and forensic teams found DNA evidence and were trying to determine whether the missing girl had been in the suspect's car, said a source close to the investigation. The DNA was found on the dashboard of the suspect's Audi, his lawyer confirmed on Monday.  ​The lawyer, Bernard Méraud, said that his client had told investigators that Maelys had got into his car that night, but that he denied the charges "He declared that the little girl got into the vehicle with a little boy, on the back seat, to see if (the suspect's) dog was in the boot." They were able to do so because all of the car's windows were open, he said. But he added: "One should avoid drawing any clear conclusions." He stressed that his client "continues to totally deny" any involvement in her disappearance and that the DNA on the dashboard "may have been transferred" from someone else. The suspect's mother had earlier played down the significance of the DNA findings, saying wedding guests took part in party games organised that evening. "The little girl touched (the games). He touched them afterwards, then he goes in his car and touches his car and that's how you find tiny (DNA) traces. If they found something very significant I'd understand, but we're talking about tiny traces," she told RMC. Police have interviewed many of the 250 guests at the wedding, with partygoers from two other events in the area also being questioned. Along with search and rescue teams, divers and cavers, they have spent the past week trawling through the heavily wooded area near where the wedding was held for signs of her - to no avail.

On Chinese border, North Korea nuclear test shakes ground, but not routinesBy Sue-Lin Wong YANJI, China (Reuters) - Residents of the Chinese border city of Yanji felt the jolt from North Korea's sixth and most powerful nuclear test but did not let it get in the way of a Sunday of shopping and dining. At a high-end downtown mall in the city of about 400,000, clothing store Uniqlo did brisk trade and there wasn't an empty table at a nearby Starbucks. North Korea said it had tested a hydrogen bomb which it declared a "perfect success" and said no radiation had leaked.
