| Britain must be free to maintain leading position in services after Brexit: May Posted: 09 Jul 2018 12:25 PM PDT  Britain must be free to protect its leading position in the services sector, including finance, after it leaves the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson quit on Monday over May's plan for Brexit, which includes a free-trade area for goods but little detail on the approach to services. "On services, we want to be free to ensure that we are able to put in place what we believe is necessary to maintain our key position in services, not least on the financial services." May told parliament in a heated session that her plan was "not a betrayal" of the referendum vote.

| Iranian teen detained over dancing Instagram post Posted: 08 Jul 2018 10:30 AM PDT  Iran has detained a teenage girl who posted dance videos on Instagram and attracted tens of thousands of followers. State TV broadcast a video on Friday in which Maedeh Hojabri, 18-year-old gymnast, acknowledged breaking moral norms while insisting that was not her intention, and that she was only trying to gain more followers. It was unclear whether her statement was made under duress. Shabooneh, a local news website, said Hojabri and three other individuals were detained on similar charges in recent weeks before being released on bail. She had posted around 300 videos on her account, many of which showed her dancing in both Iranian and Western styles. She also appeared in videos without wearing the obligatory Islamic headscarf. Her performances had thousands of followers on various accounts with her name on them, ranging from 12,000 to 66,000 followers. None of the accounts were verified. چیو باید اعتراف کرد؟ بابت لرزوندن سینه از کی خط گرفتی؟؟ چگونه قر کمر رو وارد کشور میکردین؟؟ هم دستات تو سبک باباکرم کیا بودن؟؟؟ A post shared by MahiMaedeh (@maedeh_hozhabri) on Jul 8, 2018 at 7:14am PDT Iranian police have said they plan to shut down similar accounts on Instagram, and the judiciary is considering blocking access to the site. Iran has already blocked access to many social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the Telegram messaging app. Millions of Iranians continue to use the sites through proxies and VPNs. Iran's judiciary and security forces are dominated by hard-liners who launch periodic crackdowns on behavior deemed un-Islamic. The latest arrests came amid a series of protests against the government's handling of the economy. In 2014 authorities sentenced six young men and women to suspended prison terms after they appeared in a video dancing to Pharrell Williams' song "Happy."

In a whirlwind of diplomacy, the leader of the isolated, nuclear-armed North Kim Jong Un held an unprecedented summit with US President Donald Trump in Singapore last month, after two earlier meetings with the South's Moon Jae-in. It was a marked contrast to the mutual threats and mounting fears of last year, instead raising hopes of reaching a deal over North Korea's arsenal, which include nuclear bombs and missiles capable of reaching the US mainland.

| Indian court upholds death for 2012 Delhi gang rape convicts Posted: 09 Jul 2018 04:45 AM PDT  By Sai Sachin Ravikumar and Suchitra Mohanty NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's Supreme Court on Monday upheld the death penalty for three men convicted in the gang rape of a young woman in Delhi in 2012, a landmark case that brought an unprecedented level of attention to violence against women in the country. In 2016, there were around 40,000 rapes reported in India - up 60 percent from 2012, according to government data, and more cases go unreported, activists say. "Crimes against women will keep on rising unless the criminals are sent to the gallows," the father of the victim, who cannot be named under Indian law, told reporters after the Supreme Court ruling.

| As trial opens, man dying of cancer blames Monsanto's Roundup Posted: 09 Jul 2018 02:55 PM PDT  A lawyer for a California groundskeeper dying of cancer took aim at Monsanto Monday as a jury began hearing the lawsuit accusing the chemical giant of ignoring the health risks of its top-selling weed killer Roundup. "For the past 40 years, Monsanto has known the primary ingredient in Roundup can produce tumors in lab animals," attorney Brent Wisner told the jury in a California state court hearing the case brought by Dewayne Johnson, a 46-year-old father of two. Diagnosed in 2014 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer that affects white blood cells, Johnson used Roundup repeatedly in his job at a school in Benecia, California.

| Insurers warn of rising premiums after Trump axes Obamacare payments again Posted: 08 Jul 2018 02:46 PM PDT  By Amanda Becker and Carl O'Donnell WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Health insurers warned that a move by the Trump administration on Saturday to temporarily suspend a program that was set to pay out $10.4 billion to insurers for covering high-risk individuals last year could drive up premium costs and create marketplace uncertainty. The Affordable Care Act's (ACA) "risk adjustment" program is intended to incentivize health insurers to cover individuals with pre-existing and chronic conditions by collecting money from insurers with relatively healthy enrollees to offset the costs of other insurers with sicker ones. President Donald Trump's administration has used its regulatory powers to undermine the ACA on multiple fronts after the Republican-controlled Congress last year failed to repeal and replace the law propelled by Democratic President Barack Obama.

| Turkey fires thousands of civil servants ahead of Erdogan's swearing-in Posted: 08 Jul 2018 07:20 AM PDT  The Turkish government on Sunday sacked more than 18,000 civil servants for alleged links to terror groups, as it prepared to lift the state of emergency in the wake of the 2016 failed coup. Nearly 9,000 police officers, 6,000 members of the military and 199 academics from across Turkey are among the people summarily dismissed in a decree published in the Official Gazette. Their passports will be cancelled. The dismissals came the day before President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was to be sworn in for his second term, following his victory in last month's presidential election. Mr Erdogan has overseen a series of purges since the July 2016 attempted coup, which saw parts of the Turkish military launch an operation to topple the government and oust its leader. Turkey blames exiled preacher and businessmen Fethullah Gulen for the attempted power grab and cracked down decisively, implementing a state of emergency and using enhanced powers to sack scores of civil servants. After two years, many were expecting an announcement lifting Turkey's state of emergency, rather than Sunday's further tightening of the screws. According to the UN's human rights office, more 160,000 civil servants had already been dismissed before this latest round. Around a third have been formally charged and jailed during their trials. Turkey has defended the measures as necessary to combat threats to national security. But critics say they amount to purges of any individual or group who might be opposed to Mr Erdogan's policies. Members of Kurdish groups and their supporters have also been dismissed from employment, detained and charged. In April 2017, Mr Erdogan presided over a constitutional referendum which saw 18 amendments adopted, including the abolishment of the post of Prime Minister, the replacement of Turkey's parliamentary system with a presidential system, and a significant beefing-up of presidential powers. Turkey's allies, particularly in the West, have accused Mr Erdogan of authoritarianism and of using the post-coup crackdown as an excuse to quash dissent. Relations between Turkey and the US have deteriorated significantly over the issue, but Turkey has not wavered from its policies.

The company did not say how many cars were affected by the falsifications, which were uncovered during voluntary tests of all parts of Nissan's operations conducted in the wake of last year's scandal. It said tests on exhaust emissions and fuel economy had "deviated from the prescribed testing environment".
