Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu to meet for first time since Russian aircraft shot down in Syria

Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:22 AM PDT

Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu to meet for first time since Russian aircraft shot down in SyriaBenjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is to meet with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, for the first time since July in a sign of thawing relations between two of Syria's key power brokers. Russia-Israel relations deteriorated sharply after the 17 September downing of a Russian IL-20 spy plane, which saw 15 Russian crewmen killed by Syrian air defences during an Israeli strike. Mr Netanyahu told his cabinet on Sunday that he had spoken with Mr Putin and would soon meet him to discuss military coordination around Syria, a battlefield that has drawn the two countries into at-times fraught opposing stances. Mr Putin absolved Israel of responsibility over the plane incident, but warned Mr Netanyahu "Not to allow such situations in the future."

Despite the recent chill, Russia and Israel have been largely successful at de-conflicting military actions in a highly complex theatre. Russia is widely credited with turning the war around for Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, whose victory now is all but assured. But in propping up Assad, Russia has heralded the Syrian expansion of Iran and the Shia paramilitary group Hizbollah, on which Assad has relied heavily. For Israel, the growing footprint of Shia militancy in Syria, whether Lebanese, Iranian or foreign conscript, is a red line. Mr Netanyahu has sworn to prevent Iran from deepening its military presence in Syria and using the country as a bridge to transfer weapons to Hizbollah in Lebanon. He has made good on the threat: last month, Israeli officials claimed the country had launched more than 200 airstrikes on Iranian military targets inside Syria since 2017. It is not known how the S-300 will impact such tactics. For Mr Netanyahu, Sunday's announcement was a bit of good news on an otherwise dark day. His wife, Sara Netanyahu, appeared in Jerusalem Magistrate Court on fraud charges, accused of misusing $100,000 (£76,000) in state funds to order high-end take-away meals despite employing a private chef. Mr Netanyahu is implicated in the charges, with investigators alleging he told staff to cover up the fact that the couple had hired a cook, so as to avoid double-dipping on the state allowance for meals. The case dates back to 2010, and has long been a thorn in the Netanyahus' side, threatening to lift the lid on the couple's private life. The next hearing is scheduled for 13 November.

Nigerian opposition to pick presidential candidate as northwest takes center stage

Nigerian opposition to pick presidential candidate as northwest takes center stage(In this October 5 story corrects number of candidates in third paragraph, removes former candidate's name in paragraph 12) By Alexis Akwagyiram ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria's main opposition party, which this weekend selects its candidate to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari in an election in February, is aiming to make his northwestern power base a main battleground in the contest. To do so, however, it needs to secure the backing of powerful figures in the northwest and to ensure the party does not fracture over its choice of candidate, analysts said. Seven have ties with states in the northwest, mostly as current or past governors, bolstering the party in a traditional Buhari stronghold.


Princess Eugenie's future mother-in-law 'excited' as son weds into monarchy

Posted: 06 Oct 2018 10:00 AM PDT

Princess Eugenie's future mother-in-law 'excited' as son weds into monarchyPrincess Eugenie's future mother-in-law has spoken of her excitement at her son marrying into the monarchy, less than a week before Windsor is once again swept up in royal wedding fever. Nicola Brooksbank, whose son Jack is marrying the Queen's granddaughter in the historic royal town on Friday, laughed off the notion of any nerves ahead of the big day, saying: "We are all really excited about it." It came as the Duke and Duchess of York joined the bride at a high level meeting at Buckingham Palace on Friday to thrash out the final details. Speaking exclusively to The Telegraph, Mrs Brooksbank said: "We are hugely looking forward to it and we are very much hoping the weather holds out. It's been such lovely weather - we hope to have sunshine for Friday." Asked if the happy couple were feeling nervous she added: "I don't know about nerves. They are thrilled to bits. We cannot wait." Jack is the eldest son of Nicola and George Brooksbank, an accountant and company director from Wandsworth, south west London. The couple split their time between London and France's Bordeaux wine region where they own a three bedroom stone farmhouse with a swimming pool. Jack, 32, has a younger brother Thomas who is expected to act as his best man. In a sign of Sarah Ferguson's royal renaissance as mother of the princess bride, she is understood to have met her ex-husband and youngest daughter, 28, at the palace on Friday afternoon. "Fergie" has played a central role in the planning of the 11am ceremony at St George's Chapel, which will be followed by a champagne reception hosted by the Queen at Windsor Castle and then evening celebrations at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, Prince Andrew's private home, which he shares with his ex-wife. Newsletter Promotion - Royal Appointment - in article There will then be a second, festival-themed event at Royal Lodge on Saturday. Altogether 850 guests are expected to join the festivities, including the Hollywood actor George Clooney and his wife Amal, a human rights lawyer. Mr Brooksbank works as the UK brand ambassador for Casamigos, the tequila company owned by Mr Clooney and his friend Rande Gerber, who is married to the supermodel Cindy Crawford. Theodora Williams, the daughter of Robbie Williams and his wife Adya Field is expected to be a bridesmaid along with Princess Charlotte, Maud Windsor, the daughter of Lord Freddie Windsor and actress Sophie Winkleman and Ines de Givenchy, the daughter of JP Morgan executive Olivier de Givenchy. Prince George is expected to be a page boy while Eugenie's sister Princess Beatrice, 30, is widely tipped to be maid of honour. Guests of honour | Who's in Eugenie and Jack's gang? Insiders say the Yorks have been "dismayed" by reports the wedding is costing the taxpayer £2 million. Much has been made of the fact that the couple's decision to have a carriage procession around Windsor - in the vein of Harry and Meghan's May wedding - has added to the cost of the security bill. A petition, organised by the anti-monarchy group Republic, urging the Government to commit no more money to the nuptials, has attracted more than 28,000 signatures. A source said: "No one knows where the £2 million figure has come from but the wedding is all being funded privately. Yes there is a security cost but that is because it is a major royal event involving all the senior members of the royal family including the Queen. "Princess Eugenie doesn't have any bodyguards or personal protection. The carriage procession is going to be nothing like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's - it's a much more low key affair. They're not even going up the Long Walk". A friend of the Duchess said she was feeling nervous about being reunited with her former in-laws after being treated as somewhat of a royal outcast since she divorced Andrew in 1996. "She does have to take a deep breath before these occasions," said the source. "She's avoided major royal events in the past and it wasn't easy for her to go to Harry and Meghan's wedding."

A Twitter convo about self-appreciation was the best thing on the internet this week

A Twitter convo about self-appreciation was the best thing on the internet this weekThis is One Good Thing , a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week. This week, a bunch of people had a really nice conversation about change, self-acceptance, and personal growth. On Twitter. (Yes, that is possible.)  It all started when writer and 112BK host Ashley Ford posed a question to her followers on Sunday. "What's something you hated about yourself as a kid or teenager that you now consider a strength?" she asked. What's something you hated about yourself as a kid or teenager that you now consider a strength? — Ashley C. Ford (@iSmashFizzle) September 30, 2018 The answers flooded in almost immediately. People talked about their issues with body image, personality traits that made them feel "weird" in middle school, their heritage, their hair – things that used to make them feel bad, but that they now embrace as a vital part of their identities.

Once the responses were gathered into a Twitter Moment, all the participants' stories were on a single page. For readers – particularly the millions of teens on Twitter – who might be struggling with their own self-worth, the effect is potentially very powerful. They'll see a group of people, speaking with clarity, for whom life got better. My intersecting identities, having been born in Kenya and growing up in Norway.

Sex: the elephant in the room at Vatican youth synodVatican City (AFP) - "We mustn't be afraid of sexuality!" French prelate Emmanuel Gobillard urged the Vatican synod on the role of young people, trying to break down the enduring taboo in the 1.3 billion-member Church. It admits that the Church is no longer the moral compass it once was: "Sociological studies show that many young Catholics do not follow Church teachings on sexual morals," it says. The working document, which will be the basis for a final text, notes the existence of LGBT "who wish to benefit from greater closeness and experience greater care by the Church".

Banksy posted a video Saturday on his Instagram page accompanied by a quote attributed to Pablo Picasso -- "the urge to destroy is also a creative urge" -- showing the stunt unfolding and how he pulled it off.

Nigeria's Buhari to face political heavyweight in re-election bid

Matteo Salvini threatens to close Italy's airports to prevent repatriation of migrants from Germany

Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:33 AM PDT

Matteo Salvini threatens to close Italy's airports to prevent repatriation of migrants from GermanyMatteo Salvini, Italy's far-Right interior minister, has threatened to close the country's airports to block the rumoured repatriation of migrants on charter flights from Germany. In a move likely to anger Berlin, Mr Salvini, the head of the anti-immigrant League Party and deputy prime minister, on Sunday said he would shut the airports in the same way he defied EU laws and closed Italy's ports to prevent migrant arrivals. The minister was responding to reports that Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, was preparing to send the first group of 40 migrants back to Italy on two flights scheduled to land in Rome this week. Reports in Italian media say up to 40,000 migrants could be repatriated from Germany to Italy as Mrs Merkel comes under greater pressure ahead of Bavarian elections next week, but the Italian government has denied there is any agreement to step up migrant returns. However, a spokesman for the German Interior Minister, Horst Seehofer, told the Italian news agency, Ansa: "No repatriation flights to Italy were being planned in the coming days." Luigi Di Maio, deputy prime minister and head of the Five Star Movement, said "no agreement has been signed" between Germany and Italy for the "secondary movement" of migrants. Anti Salvini protestors in Milan march in support of Domenico Lucano, a mayor in southern Italy jailed for allegedly helping illegal immigration Credit:  Matteo Bazzi/ANSA "If anyone in Berlin or Brussels is thinking of dumping dozens of immigrants in Italy through unauthorised charter flights they should know there is not and will not be any airport available," Mr Salvini Tweeted on Sunday with the hashtag #aeroportichiusi (or #AirportsClosed).    "We will close the airports like we closed the ports," he added. Under the Dublin Treaty migrants are required to seek asylum in the first European country where they disembark but Italy's populist coalition government has been working to overhaul the treaty, saying Italy has taken in too many migrants. Mr Salvini's latest comments are likely to anger his European counterparts, who he has already clashed with in recent days over Italy's proposed budget deficit of 2.4 percent, which would be in breach of EU guidelines. But his tough approach appears to be working in his favour. A new poll published by Corriere Della Sera, an Italian daily, on Saturday showed the League's popularity at all-time high of 34 percent, with its coalition partner the Five Star Movement down slightly to 28.5 percent. The League's former ally, Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, was at 7.8 percent. Mr Salvini is also looking to exploit anti-EU sentiment in Hungary, Poland and France in the run-up to next year's European parliamentary elections and is expected to meet Marine Le Pen from the right-wing Rassemblement National, the new name of the National Front, in Rome on Monday. Angela Merkel is coming under pressure to act on immigration in the run-up to Bavarian elections Credit:  HANNIBAL HANSCHKE/Reuters So far this year 21,000 migrants have arrived in Italy by sea, compared to nearly 107,000 for the same period last year. In September Italy's coalition government passed a bill that will make it harder for migrants to claim humanitarian protection and easier to expel failed asylum seekers. The decree, which is now before Parliament, is part of the coalition's concerted efforts to reduce the number of migrants arriving by boat from North Africa and repatriate those who are denied asylum status. Stephan Reichel, president of the German NGO Matteo, said Sunday the migrants and refugees he assisted in Germany were afraid of being sent back to Italy. "I take care of many refugees who are being deported to Italy," Mr Reichel told The Telegraph from Nuremberg. "There is no shelter, there is nothing organised. Most of them have to sleep on the streets without medical care." Mr Reichel's  organisation supports Catholic and protestant churches throughout Germany and helps more than 300 migrants from Africa, Syria, Afghanistan and other countries. He described the Italian interior minister's attitude as "racist and neofascist".   "It is frightening," he said. "In Germany we are trying to avoid it."
