Video shows wanted Nigerian separatist leader in Israel-Lawyer for Nnamdi Kanu confirms man in clip shot at Western Wall is his client, who claims his ethnic group is one of the 10 lost tribes-By AFP-TOI-OCT 23,18
LAGOS, Nigeria — The lawyer for a missing Nigerian separatist leader on Saturday said he had spoken to his client, after a video and pictures emerged purporting to show him in Jerusalem.Ifeanyi Ejiofor said he had “received a direct confirmation” about the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu, who has not been seen in public since September last year.“My client is the very person seen in the pictures/video. That I can confirm authoritatively,” he added in a statement.Kanu, a former London estate agent, heads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement and the outlawed pirate radio station Radio Biafra.He is facing treason charges and had been on bail at the time troops were deployed to his home city of Umuahia in Abia state, southeast Nigeria, in September 2017.He then failed to show at his trial in the capital, Abuja, sparking speculation as to his whereabouts.BREAKING: Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Nigerian separatist group, indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB), who reportedly went missing after government forces raided his home in September 2017, seen in a LIVE video aired today in Jerusalem. pic.twitter.com/FuvT49ILmj— Africa Guardian (@AfricaGuardian) October 19, 2018-Ejiofor has previously accused the Nigerian Army of either holding his client incognito or having killed him. The military has denied the charges.On Friday, a video live-streamed on the Facebook accounts of known associates of Kanu appeared to show him praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.He was dressed in sandals, white trousers, a white Jewish prayer shawl and skull cap.“This is the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, the prophet of our time, Nnamdi Kanu, in the Holy City of David,” a voice off camera is heard to say.#IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, spotted in Jerusalem yesterday October 19th.Posted by Pulse Nigeria on Saturday, 20 October 2018-Kanu maintains the Igbo people, who are in the majority in southeast Nigeria, are a lost tribe of Israel and it is his mission to lead them to the promised land of Biafra.A previous unilateral declaration of independence by the Igbo people in 1967 sparked a brutal 30-month civil war that left more than 1 million dead.Questions have been raised about how Kanu was able to get to Israel, as he had to surrender his Nigerian and British passports after his arrest.Others suggested a link to next year’s election, as Kanu has previously called for a boycott of the polls in the southeast.Peter Obi, the vice-presidential pick for the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), comes from the region. The southeast is traditionally a PDP stronghold.There was no immediate comment from Nigeria’s government, military or security services.But Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, told AFP the footage was of his brother and was shot on Friday. He also spoke to him directly and said he was “fine.”The BBC Igbo language service also quoted one person as saying the man in the video was Kanu and another that he was headed from Jerusalem to Kiev, without elaborating.Separate photographs of Kanu in Jerusalem do not appear to have been used previously, although it was not possible to extract a date from the images.There was no immediate response from Facebook when contacted by AFP about the authenticity of the video.
Hundreds of thousands march in London to demand new Brexit vote-Organizers say over 500,000 take part in rally calling for fresh referendum on country’s EU membership, decry choice between ‘a bad Brexit deal, or no deal whatsoever’-By SYLVIA HUI-OCT 23,18
LONDON (AP) — Tens of thousands of protesters marched through central London on Saturday to demand a new referendum on Britain’s departure from the European Union.Organizers want the public to have a final say on the government’s Brexit deal with the EU, arguing that new facts have come to light about the costs and complexity of Britain’s exit from the bloc since Britons voted to leave in 2016.Some 150 buses ferried thousands of activists from across the country to the British capital, and organizers estimated that over 500,000 took part.“What’s clear is that the only options on the table now from the prime minister are a bad Brexit deal, or no deal whatsoever,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who joined the “People’s Vote March,” told the BBC. “That’s a million miles away from what was promised 2 1/2 years ago.”Khan said Saturday’s protest was a “march for the future” for young Britons, including those who were too young to vote in Britain’s 2016 EU membership referendum, when those who favored leaving the bloc won narrowly by 52 percent to 48 percent.The mayor, from the opposition Labour Party, has previously backed mounting calls for a fresh referendum so that the public can have a say on whether they accept Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal or choose to stay in the EU.May, the leader of Britain’s Conservatives, has ruled out another public vote on the subject.Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, but negotiations over the divorce have been plagued by disagreements, particularly over the future border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It will be the UK’s only land border with the EU after Brexit, for Ireland is part of the EU and Northern Ireland is part of the UK.One of the great accomplishments of the 1998 peace deal that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland was to dismantle the police and military presence at the border with Ireland. Many on both sides do not want a hard border again.There are also growing fears of a “no-deal” British exit, which could create chaos at the borders and in the EU and the British economies.May, speaking at an inconclusive EU summit in Brussels this week, said she would consider having a longer post-Brexit transition period — one that could keep Britain aligned to EU rules and obligations for more than two years after its March departure. Pro-Brexit politicians in Britain, however, saw it as an attempt to bind the country to the bloc indefinitely.“This week’s fresh chaos and confusion over Brexit negotiations has exposed how even the best deal now available will be a bad one for Britain,” said Andrew Adonis, a Labour member of the House of Lords. “Voters will neither forgive nor forget if (lawmakers) allow this miserable Brexit to proceed without people being given the final say.”
US officials deeply skeptical of Saudi claim Khashoggi died in ‘fistfight’-Sen. Lindsey Graham expresses incredulity at kingdom’s account of consulate death; Rep. Adam Schiff: If administration won’t act, Congress must; Turkey vows to find ‘all details’-By TOI staff and Agencies-OCT 23,18
While US President Donald Trump has accepted as credible Saudi Arabia’s assertion that dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi died unintentionally as a result of a “fistfight” inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, others have found the claim highly dubious.Unnamed American officials told CNN early Saturday that the US resident — whose mysterious disappearance triggered an international crisis, with Turkish officials accusing Saudi Arabia of a state-sponsored killing and dismembering his body — could not have been killed without the knowledge of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Senator Lindsey Graham, an ally of Trump, tweeted: “To say that I am skeptical of the new Saudi narrative about Mr. Khashoggi is an understatement.”Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff ridiculed the notion that “Khashoggi was killed while brawling with 15 men dispatched from Saudi Arabia… If he was fighting with those sent to capture or kill him, it was for his life.” He added that if the administration was unwilling to act, “Congress must.”To say that I am skeptical of the new Saudi narrative about Mr. Khashoggi is an understatement. https://t.co/am4fraUL6H— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 19, 2018-Former MI6 chief John Sawers, meanwhile, told the BBC it was “very likely” that bin Salman had ordered the killing, citing information from Turkey and senior British sources.He added that such an order was “a step too far — one that the UK, the EU and the US are going to have to respond to.”Reporters with Borders said Saturday the international community must keep up the pressure on Saudi Arabia, stressing Riyadh had to be held to account for the death of Khashoggi and the imprisonment of other journalists.“Any attempt to get rid of the pressure on Saudi Arabia and to accept a compromise policy would result in giving a ‘license to kill’ to a Kingdom that puts in jail, lashes, kidnaps and even kills journalists who dare to investigate and launch debates,” Christophe Deloire, Secretary General of the Paris-based media rights watchdog tweeted.“After the recognition of Khashoggi’s death, we expect a determined, constant and powerful pressure to be kept on Saudi Arabia in order to get the whole truth on the case and the release of Saudi Arabian journalists (who have) been condemned to crazy and horrible sentences,” he added.Turkey vowed Saturday to uncover all details of Khashoggis’ death.“Turkey will reveal whatever had happened. Nobody should ever doubt about it,” said Omer Celik, spokesman for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), the Anadolu news agency reported.Celik said it was Turkey’s “debt of honour” to reveal what happened. “We are not accusing anyone in advance but we don’t accept anything to remain covered (up),” he said.Khashoggi, 59, a contributor to the Washington Post newspaper and a critic of the kingdom, had been living in the United States since 2017. The overnight announcements in Saudi state media came more than two weeks after he entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul for paperwork required to marry his Turkish fiancée, and never came out.Pro-government Turkish media have repeatedly claimed that Khashoggi was tortured and decapitated by a Saudi hit squad inside the diplomatic mission, although Turkey has yet to divulge details about the investigation.After earlier denials, Saudi Arabia admitted early Saturday that Khashoggi, an insider turned critic of the regime, had been killed inside its Istanbul consulate in what it described as a “brawl.”It said 18 Saudi suspects were in custody and intelligence officials had been fired.The kingdom offered a far different version of events than those given by Turkish officials, who have said an “assassination squad” from the kingdom including an official from Prince Mohammed’s entourage and an “autopsy expert” flew in ahead of time and laid in wait for Khashoggi at the consulate. Beyond its statements attributed to anonymous officials, Saudi Arabia offered no evidence to support its claims.On Friday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for a “prompt, thorough and transparent investigation” into Khashoggi’s death.Asked Friday if he found the Saudi story credible, Trump said: “I do, I do,” adding: “It’s early, we haven’t finished our review or investigation.”The White House said Saturday it was “saddened” after confirmation that Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate, but made no mention of US action against its major ally.In the first US response to Saudi Arabia’s admission, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said that Washington “acknowledges the announcement.”“We will continue to closely follow the international investigations into this tragic incident and advocate for justice that is timely, transparent and in accordance with all due process,” she said.Saudi Arabia has sacked deputy intelligence chief Ahmad al-Assiri and royal court media advisor Saud al-Qahtani, both top aides to bin Salman, who has faced mounting pressure over the Khashoggi affair.The admission that Khashoggi died at the hands of Saudi officials after weeks of vehement denials by the Gulf kingdom comes after Trump said that the United States, which is Saudi Arabia’s biggest backer, could impose sanctions if it was proved the journalist was killed.Saudi Attorney General Sheikh Saud al-Mojeb said Khashoggi died after “discussions” at the consulate devolved into an altercation, without disclosing any details on the whereabouts of his body.“Preliminary investigations… revealed that the discussions that took place between him and the persons who met him… at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul led to a brawl and a fist fight with the citizen, Jamal Khashoggi, which led to his death, may his soul rest in peace,” the attorney general said in a statement.The Saudi king also ordered the setting up of ministerial committee under the chairmanship of the crown prince, widely known as MBS, to restructure the kingdom’s intelligence agency and “define its powers accurately,” state media said.The controversy has put the kingdom — for decades a key Western ally and bulwark against Iran in the Middle East — under unprecedented pressure to offer an explanation to take the heat off its rulers.It evolved into a major crisis for Prince Mohammed, a Trump administration favorite who has portrayed himself as a modernizing Arab reformer, but whose image and even position at home could now be gravely undermined.“Dismissing Saud al-Qahtani and Ahmad al-Assiri is as close to MBS as it is possible to go,” said Kristian Ulrichsen, a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute in the United States.“Interesting to see if these moves prove sufficient. If the drip-drip of additional details continue, there’s no buffer to shield MBS any longer.”Shortly before Riyadh confirmed that Khashoggi had been killed, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi King Salman agreed in telephone talks to continue cooperation in the investigation into the Khashoggi affair.Erdogan and Salman “emphasized the importance of continuing to work together with complete cooperation,” said a Turkish presidential source, who asked not to be named.The United States warned Friday of a “wide range” of responses should it determine that Saudi Arabia is behind the death of Khashoggi, as Turkey widened its investigation into the scandal.Trump said the United States could impose sanctions over the feared murder of Khashoggi while his top diplomat Mike Pompeo told Voice of America Radio: “We’ll certainly consider a wide range of potential responses.”The Trump administration has been notably slow to criticize Saudi Arabia, despite mounting evidence that Khashoggi vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.The Khashoggi case has presented Trump with one of the most acute foreign policy crises of his nearly two-year-old presidency.Saudi Arabia’s admission comes after Turkish authorities widened their probe on Friday, searching a forest in Istanbul.Fifteen staff, all Turkish nationals, testified at the chief prosecutor’s office, state-run news agency Anadolu said. It has been reported that Turkish employees were given the day off on October 2, the day Khashoggi disappeared.
Analysis-Furor over journalist slaying unlikely to jolt Saudi prince from power-Despite revealing inconsistencies, Riyadh’s admission that Jamal Khashoggi died at the consulate seems aimed at shielding Mohammed bin Salman, and it appears to be working-By Anuj Chopra-TOI-OCT 23,18
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AFP) — Saudi Arabia’s admission — after emphatic denials — over the killing of critic Jamal Khashoggi is aimed at shifting the responsibility away from the powerful crown prince, whose position so far appears unshaken, analysts say.The kingdom sacked two top aides to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as well three intelligence officials and arrested 18 Saudi suspects, in what some analysts called a scapegoating to quell the global outrage over Khashoggi’s killing.After 17 days of vehement denials, the kingdom’s assertion on Saturday that the journalist was killed in a “brawl and fist fight” inside a Saudi consulate in Istanbul –- without revealing the whereabouts of his body — fell on skeptical ears around the world.Saudi Arabia had previously roundly rejected allegations by Turkish officials that Khashoggi was killed by Saudi agents who dismembered his body, insisting he had walked out of the consulate alive.“Here is Saudi Arabia’s biggest problem,” said Michael Stephens, a Middle East expert at the Royal United Services Institute.The inconsistencies in the Saudi statements “now totally undermines their position,” he said.Aside from the crisis of credibility, the international furor over Khashoggi’s disappearance prompted fevered speculation that the 33-year-old prince, widely known as MBS, was at risk of being unseated from power by other royal family members.But that danger appears to have subsided, analysts say.The prince has amassed power to a level unseen by previous rulers after sidelining potential rivals, with only 82-year-old King Salman — the prince’s father — in a position to oust him.But the monarch issued a royal decree on Saturday to form a ministerial committee — headed by the prince — to revamp the kingdom’s intelligence services, indicating that he was keen for him to stay.“Despite speculation that the crisis spells the end of Mohammad bin Salman, the recent announcements prove that the king still believes that the current line of succession is suitable,” said Eurasia Group, a risk consultancy.The unprecedented crisis apparently prompted the king — who appears to have handed over day-to-day affairs to MBS — to intervene, including handling a diplomatic outreach with Turkey and the United States.-‘Aiming for accountability’-The king also ordered the sacking of deputy intelligence chief Ahmad al-Assiri and royal court media adviser Saud al-Qahtani, both part of Prince Mohammed’s inner circle.“The decision to remove members of Mohammad bin Salman’s inner circle is designed to demonstrate real accountability in the process and distance the crown prince from the murder,” Eurasia Group said.But the dramatic moves early Saturday have yet to stem the tide of global condemnation of Prince Mohammed, whose image as a modernizing Arab reformer has been tarnished with his crackdown on dissent.It has also tainted his reform program known as Vision 2030 — to prepare the kingdom for a post-oil era.“Dismissing Saud al-Qahtani and Ahmad al-Assiri is as close to MBS as it is possible to go,” said Kristian Ulrichsen, a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute in the United States.“Interesting to see if these moves prove sufficient to end the crisis. If the drip-drip of additional details continue, there’s no buffer to shield MBS any longer.”US President Donald Trump also appears to have thrown his weight behind the prince, swiftly endorsing Saudi Arabia’s explanation about the death of Khashoggi and calling it an “important first step.”But casting doubt on the claim that Khashoggi was killed during a fist fight, the Washington Post reported on Saturday that the CIA had listened to audio recordings from Turkish officials that show he was brutally killed and dismembered by a team of Saudi agents.US authorities have so far officially denied listening to any recordings.-‘No cover-up’-Pro-government Turkish media have also repeatedly claimed that Khashoggi was tortured and decapitated by a Saudi hit squad.One Saudi agent identified by Turkey was said to be a frequent companion of Prince Mohammed, three others were linked to his security detail and a fifth is a high-level forensic specialist, according to The New York Times.The kingdom’s sudden admission on Saturday appears aimed at taking the heat off its rulers.But people close to the Saudi leadership insist there was no cover up.“The removal of two top officials, a cabinet ranking, very powerful and close advisor of MBS and the deputy head of intelligence … cannot be written off as a cover up,” tweeted Ali Shihabi, head of pro-Saudi think tank Arabia Foundation which is said to be close to the government.But Shihabi himself contradicted the Saudi narrative, saying “Khashoggi died from a chokehold during a physical altercation, not a fist fight,” citing a senior Saudi source.Meanwhile, global calls are growing for Turkey to call on the UN secretary general to authorize an independent, international investigation in the case.Turkey, on its part, vowed Saturday to reveal all it knows about the death of Khashoggi, but has yet to divulge details about the investigation.“The Saudi regime must not be allowed to hide behind lies in order to literally get away with murder,” said Summer Lopez, senior director of free expression at PEN America.
Chaos, violence mark Afghan parliamentary elections-First vote in eight years marred as at least 36 people killed in attacks, election officials fail to show up and allegations of ballot stuffing cast doubt over credibility of poll-By AP-TOI-OCT 23,18
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s first parliamentary elections in eight years suffered from violence and chaos Saturday, with a multitude of attacks killing at least 36 people, key election workers failing to show up and many polling stations staying open hours later than scheduled to handle long lines of voters.Problems surrounding the elections — already three years overdue — threaten to compromise the credibility of polls which an independent monitoring group said were also marred by incidences of ballot stuffing and intimidation by armed men affiliated with candidates in 19 of the country’s 32 provinces. Some areas have yet to vote, including Kandahar, where the provincial police chief was gunned down Thursday.Stakes were high in these elections for Afghans who hoped to reform Parliament, challenging the dominance of warlords and the politically corrupt and replacing them with a younger, more educated generation of politicians. They were also high for the U.S., which is still seeking an exit strategy after 17 years of a war there that has cost more than $900 billion and claimed more than 2,400 U.S. service personnel.Deputy Interior Minister Akhtar Mohammed Ibrahimi said 36 people were killed in 193 insurgent attacks across the country: 27 civilians, eight police officers and one Afghan soldier. He said attackers used everything from grenades to small arms fire to mortars and rocket launchers, and that security forces killed 31 insurgents.The most serious attack on the polls was in a northern Kabul neighborhood where a suicide bomber blew himself up just as voting was about to end, killing three people and wounding another 20, many of them seriously, said Dr. Esa Hashemi, a physician at the nearby Afghan Hospital. Interior and defense ministry officials said 15 people were killed or wounded, including several police.Polling stations also struggled with voter registration and a new biometric system that was aimed at stemming fraud, but instead created enormous confusion because many of those trained on the system did not show up for work. Also, the biometric machines were received just a month before polls and there was no time to do field testing.Many polling stations opened as much as five hours behind schedule. The Independent Election Commission was uncertain how many of the estimated 21,000 polling stations closed by 4 p.m. local time, the original closing time. Polling was extended until 8 p.m. local time for all those polling stations that opened late, and those that could not open before 1 p.m. local time will open Sunday.Afghanistan’s deputy chief executive Mohammad Mohaqiq expressed outrage at the chaotic start to polling and assailed election preparation by the country’s election commission.“The people rushed like a flood to the polling stations, but the election commission employees were not present, and in some cases they were there but there were no electoral materials and in most cases the biometric systems was not working,” he said.“The widespread reports today of confusion and incompetence in the administration of the elections … suggest that bureaucratic failures and lack of political will to prioritize organizing credible parliamentary elections may do more to delegitimize the election results than threats and violent attacks by the Taliban and Daesh,” said Andrew Wilder, vice-president of Asia Programs at the US Institute of Peace, using the Arabic acronym name for the Islamic State group.Afghan President Ashraf Ghani marked his ballot at the start of voting. In a televised speech afterward, he congratulated Afghans on another election and praised the security forces, particularly the air force, for getting ballots to Afghanistan’s remotest corners.“I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said, also reminding those elected that they are there to serve the people and ensure the rule of law.North of Kabul, thousands of outraged voters blocked a road after waiting more than five hours for a polling station to open, said Mohammad Azim, the governor of Qarabagh district where the demonstration took place.Election Commission Commissioner Abdul Badi Sayat said dozens of teachers who had been trained in the new biometric system had not shown up for work at the polling stations. It wasn’t clear whether that was related to a Taliban warning directed specifically at teachers and students telling them to stay away from the polls.“The long lines at many polling stations today, despite the threats and violent attacks by the Taliban and Daesh, clearly demonstrate that the problem with Afghan elections is not the enthusiasm of Afghan voters for a democratic future,” said Wilder.The Defense Ministry said it had increased its deployment of National Security Forces to 70,000 from the original 50,000 to protect polling stations.Elections in the provinces of Kandahar and Ghazni have been delayed as well as in 11 of the country’s nearly 400 districts.The Independent Election Commission registered 8.8 million people. Wasima Badghisy, a commission member, called voters “very, very brave” and said a turnout of 5 million would be a success.At a polling station in crowded west Kabul, Khoda Baksh said he arrived nearly two hours early to cast his vote, dismissing Taliban threats of violence.“We don’t care about their threats. The Taliban are threatening us all the time,” said 55-year-old Baksh, who said he wanted to see a new generation of politicians take power in Afghanistan’s 249-seat Parliament. He bemoaned the current Parliament dominated by warlords and corrupt elite. “They have done zero for us.”In the run-up to the elections, two candidates were killed while polling in Kandahar was delayed for a week after a rogue guard gunned down the powerful provincial police chief, Gen. Abdul Raziq. In the capital of Kabul, security was tight, with police and military personnel stopping vehicles at dozens of checkpoints throughout the congested city.Commission deputy spokesman Aziz Ibrahimi said results of Saturday’s voting will not be released before mid-November and final results will not be out until later in December.
US seeking ‘unipolar world’ in nuke treaty pullout, Kremlin charges-Russian official says Washington has been destroying basis for agreement prohibiting missile development for several years; lawmaker calls it blow to world stability-By AFP-OCT 23,18
MOSCOW, Russia — Washington’s move to pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty with Russia is motivated by a dream of a single global superpower, Russian state news agencies on Saturday cited a foreign ministry source as saying.“The main motive is a dream of a unipolar world. Will it come true? No,” a foreign ministry source told RIA Novosti state news agency.The official said that Russia has “many times publicly denounced the US policy course towards dismantling the nuclear deal.”Trump announced the withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty on Saturday and said Russia has violated the agreement, but he provided no details on the violations.“They have been violating it for many years,” Trump said after a rally in Elko, Nevada. “And we’re not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we’re not allowed to.”The 1987 pact, which helps protect the security of the US and its allies in Europe and the Far East, prohibits the United States and Russia from possessing, producing or test-flying a ground-launched cruise missile with a range of 300 to 3,400 miles.Washington “has approached this step over the course of many years by deliberately and step by step destroying the basis for the agreement,” the Russian official said, quoted by Russia’s three main news agencies.“This decision is part of the US policy course to withdraw from those international legal agreements that place equal responsibilities on it and its partners and make vulnerable its concept of its own ‘exceptionalism’,” the official said.Russian senator Alexei Pushkov wrote on Twitter that the move was “the second powerful blow against the whole system of strategic stability in the world” with the first being Washington’s 2001 withdrawal from the Anti- Ballistic Missile treaty.”“And again the initiator of the dissolution of the agreement is the US,” Pushkov wrote.

VANCOUVER — The Public Health Agency of Canada says an investigation is underway into an outbreak of salmonella infections involving five provinces, mostly in western Canada.The agency says on its website that the source of the outbreak has not been identified yet, although many of the people who became sick reported eating cucumbers.It says that as of Friday, there have been 37 confirmed cases in British Columbia, five in Alberta, and one case each in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.The person from Quebec reported travelling to British Columbia before becoming ill, the agency says.The cases occurred between mid-June and late-September, and nine people have been hospitalized.The agency says it's collaborating with provincial public health partners, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada as part of the investigation."The outbreak appears to be ongoing, as illnesses continue to be reported," the statement on the Public health Agency of Canada website said.No deaths have been reported.The agency said there is no evidence at this time to suggest that residents in central and eastern Canada are affected by this outbreak.Salmonella infection usually results from eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs or egg products.Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.The Canadian Press.

Indian officials exchange blame for train plowing into festival crowd-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Sudarshan Varadhan-October 23, 2018
AMRITSAR, India (Reuters) - India's railway officials and local community leaders traded blame on Saturday over an accident in which a train ran over scores of people gathered on the railway tracks for a festival in the northern city of Amritsar.Punjab state's Chief Minister Amarinder Singh told reporters on Saturday that 59 people had died with 57 injured in the accident and that an official inquiry would be carried out over the next four weeks.A large crowd had formed near the tracks on the city's fringe for the burning of effigies as part of a major Hindu festival on Friday when the train sped through the gathering in darkness, officials and witnesses said.Grieving relatives and residents, some of whom were still scouring the bloodied fields for belongings of their loved ones, said there was no warning from the train as it rolled down the tracks just as firecrackers exploded in the sky in the annual Dusshera festival."I've been seeing this event every Dusshera from here and this has never happened before, the railways should have stopped or slowed down the train," said Deep Kumari, who watched the festival from the terrace of her house. "Everyone here knows this effigy burning happens here and there is a big crowd."India's state railways, largely built during British colonial rule, have long faced criticism for their safety record. A political focus on keeping fares low for the 23 million passengers who use the network daily has resulted in decades of underinvestment in rail safety infrastructure, critics say.Data from parliament in July showed that 49,790 people were killed by trains on the tracks in India between 2015 to 2017.Friday's accident was the worst in years but Manoj Sinha, the junior minister in charge of running the world's fourth largest rail system, said they couldn't be held responsible for people gathered on tracks."Railways cannot be blamed, railways were not informed about the ceremony. Why was it organized there? There was no notice given to the railways," he told reporters as he visited the site early on Saturday, surrounded by officials and police.Clothes were strewn and there were blood marks around the narrow railway lane on the outskirts of Amritsar where the accident occurred. Police said they were still looking to ascertain the number of dead as some bodies were mangled beyond recognition.Video footage running on television stations and social media showed giant effigies burning in the distance and crackers going off while the train runs through in the foreground. Many of the victims were shooting videos on their mobile phones or taking selfies.Witnesses also said that Friday's ceremony was delayed by a few hours because the chief guest was running late, which meant the event ultimately coincided with the train's scheduled arrival.Anger turned on Navjyot Kaur Sidhu, a former Punjab state lawmaker who came late for the burning of the effigies and then left just before the accident occurred.Bikram Singh Majitha, a leader of the regional Akali Dal party, said the effigy burning usually happens at sunset, not later."You can see from some of the videos that people shot that as soon as the effigy was lit, you can the train coming from the other side. It was horrific, the organizers must answer why the delay," he said.But Kaur, whose husband, Navjyot Singh Sidhu, is a former Indian Test cricketer and now a state minister, said effigies were burned at six places in Amritsar and most of them were in fields near the tracks."The (railway authorities) should have at least issued directions to slow down the speed of the train. Such a big mistake," Kaur said on television.(Writing by Sanjeev Miglani; Editing by Sam Holmes)

Video shows wanted Nigerian separatist leader in Israel-Lawyer for Nnamdi Kanu confirms man in clip shot at Western Wall is his client, who claims his ethnic group is one of the 10 lost tribes-By AFP-TOI-OCT 23,18
LAGOS, Nigeria — The lawyer for a missing Nigerian separatist leader on Saturday said he had spoken to his client, after a video and pictures emerged purporting to show him in Jerusalem.Ifeanyi Ejiofor said he had “received a direct confirmation” about the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu, who has not been seen in public since September last year.“My client is the very person seen in the pictures/video. That I can confirm authoritatively,” he added in a statement.Kanu, a former London estate agent, heads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement and the outlawed pirate radio station Radio Biafra.He is facing treason charges and had been on bail at the time troops were deployed to his home city of Umuahia in Abia state, southeast Nigeria, in September 2017.He then failed to show at his trial in the capital, Abuja, sparking speculation as to his whereabouts.BREAKING: Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Nigerian separatist group, indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB), who reportedly went missing after government forces raided his home in September 2017, seen in a LIVE video aired today in Jerusalem. pic.twitter.com/FuvT49ILmj— Africa Guardian (@AfricaGuardian) October 19, 2018-Ejiofor has previously accused the Nigerian Army of either holding his client incognito or having killed him. The military has denied the charges.On Friday, a video live-streamed on the Facebook accounts of known associates of Kanu appeared to show him praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.He was dressed in sandals, white trousers, a white Jewish prayer shawl and skull cap.“This is the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, the prophet of our time, Nnamdi Kanu, in the Holy City of David,” a voice off camera is heard to say.#IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, spotted in Jerusalem yesterday October 19th.Posted by Pulse Nigeria on Saturday, 20 October 2018-Kanu maintains the Igbo people, who are in the majority in southeast Nigeria, are a lost tribe of Israel and it is his mission to lead them to the promised land of Biafra.A previous unilateral declaration of independence by the Igbo people in 1967 sparked a brutal 30-month civil war that left more than 1 million dead.Questions have been raised about how Kanu was able to get to Israel, as he had to surrender his Nigerian and British passports after his arrest.Others suggested a link to next year’s election, as Kanu has previously called for a boycott of the polls in the southeast.Peter Obi, the vice-presidential pick for the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), comes from the region. The southeast is traditionally a PDP stronghold.There was no immediate comment from Nigeria’s government, military or security services.But Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, told AFP the footage was of his brother and was shot on Friday. He also spoke to him directly and said he was “fine.”The BBC Igbo language service also quoted one person as saying the man in the video was Kanu and another that he was headed from Jerusalem to Kiev, without elaborating.Separate photographs of Kanu in Jerusalem do not appear to have been used previously, although it was not possible to extract a date from the images.There was no immediate response from Facebook when contacted by AFP about the authenticity of the video.
Hundreds of thousands march in London to demand new Brexit vote-Organizers say over 500,000 take part in rally calling for fresh referendum on country’s EU membership, decry choice between ‘a bad Brexit deal, or no deal whatsoever’-By SYLVIA HUI-OCT 23,18
LONDON (AP) — Tens of thousands of protesters marched through central London on Saturday to demand a new referendum on Britain’s departure from the European Union.Organizers want the public to have a final say on the government’s Brexit deal with the EU, arguing that new facts have come to light about the costs and complexity of Britain’s exit from the bloc since Britons voted to leave in 2016.Some 150 buses ferried thousands of activists from across the country to the British capital, and organizers estimated that over 500,000 took part.“What’s clear is that the only options on the table now from the prime minister are a bad Brexit deal, or no deal whatsoever,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who joined the “People’s Vote March,” told the BBC. “That’s a million miles away from what was promised 2 1/2 years ago.”Khan said Saturday’s protest was a “march for the future” for young Britons, including those who were too young to vote in Britain’s 2016 EU membership referendum, when those who favored leaving the bloc won narrowly by 52 percent to 48 percent.The mayor, from the opposition Labour Party, has previously backed mounting calls for a fresh referendum so that the public can have a say on whether they accept Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal or choose to stay in the EU.May, the leader of Britain’s Conservatives, has ruled out another public vote on the subject.Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, but negotiations over the divorce have been plagued by disagreements, particularly over the future border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It will be the UK’s only land border with the EU after Brexit, for Ireland is part of the EU and Northern Ireland is part of the UK.One of the great accomplishments of the 1998 peace deal that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland was to dismantle the police and military presence at the border with Ireland. Many on both sides do not want a hard border again.There are also growing fears of a “no-deal” British exit, which could create chaos at the borders and in the EU and the British economies.May, speaking at an inconclusive EU summit in Brussels this week, said she would consider having a longer post-Brexit transition period — one that could keep Britain aligned to EU rules and obligations for more than two years after its March departure. Pro-Brexit politicians in Britain, however, saw it as an attempt to bind the country to the bloc indefinitely.“This week’s fresh chaos and confusion over Brexit negotiations has exposed how even the best deal now available will be a bad one for Britain,” said Andrew Adonis, a Labour member of the House of Lords. “Voters will neither forgive nor forget if (lawmakers) allow this miserable Brexit to proceed without people being given the final say.”
US officials deeply skeptical of Saudi claim Khashoggi died in ‘fistfight’-Sen. Lindsey Graham expresses incredulity at kingdom’s account of consulate death; Rep. Adam Schiff: If administration won’t act, Congress must; Turkey vows to find ‘all details’-By TOI staff and Agencies-OCT 23,18
While US President Donald Trump has accepted as credible Saudi Arabia’s assertion that dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi died unintentionally as a result of a “fistfight” inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, others have found the claim highly dubious.Unnamed American officials told CNN early Saturday that the US resident — whose mysterious disappearance triggered an international crisis, with Turkish officials accusing Saudi Arabia of a state-sponsored killing and dismembering his body — could not have been killed without the knowledge of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Senator Lindsey Graham, an ally of Trump, tweeted: “To say that I am skeptical of the new Saudi narrative about Mr. Khashoggi is an understatement.”Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff ridiculed the notion that “Khashoggi was killed while brawling with 15 men dispatched from Saudi Arabia… If he was fighting with those sent to capture or kill him, it was for his life.” He added that if the administration was unwilling to act, “Congress must.”To say that I am skeptical of the new Saudi narrative about Mr. Khashoggi is an understatement. https://t.co/am4fraUL6H— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 19, 2018-Former MI6 chief John Sawers, meanwhile, told the BBC it was “very likely” that bin Salman had ordered the killing, citing information from Turkey and senior British sources.He added that such an order was “a step too far — one that the UK, the EU and the US are going to have to respond to.”Reporters with Borders said Saturday the international community must keep up the pressure on Saudi Arabia, stressing Riyadh had to be held to account for the death of Khashoggi and the imprisonment of other journalists.“Any attempt to get rid of the pressure on Saudi Arabia and to accept a compromise policy would result in giving a ‘license to kill’ to a Kingdom that puts in jail, lashes, kidnaps and even kills journalists who dare to investigate and launch debates,” Christophe Deloire, Secretary General of the Paris-based media rights watchdog tweeted.“After the recognition of Khashoggi’s death, we expect a determined, constant and powerful pressure to be kept on Saudi Arabia in order to get the whole truth on the case and the release of Saudi Arabian journalists (who have) been condemned to crazy and horrible sentences,” he added.Turkey vowed Saturday to uncover all details of Khashoggis’ death.“Turkey will reveal whatever had happened. Nobody should ever doubt about it,” said Omer Celik, spokesman for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), the Anadolu news agency reported.Celik said it was Turkey’s “debt of honour” to reveal what happened. “We are not accusing anyone in advance but we don’t accept anything to remain covered (up),” he said.Khashoggi, 59, a contributor to the Washington Post newspaper and a critic of the kingdom, had been living in the United States since 2017. The overnight announcements in Saudi state media came more than two weeks after he entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul for paperwork required to marry his Turkish fiancée, and never came out.Pro-government Turkish media have repeatedly claimed that Khashoggi was tortured and decapitated by a Saudi hit squad inside the diplomatic mission, although Turkey has yet to divulge details about the investigation.After earlier denials, Saudi Arabia admitted early Saturday that Khashoggi, an insider turned critic of the regime, had been killed inside its Istanbul consulate in what it described as a “brawl.”It said 18 Saudi suspects were in custody and intelligence officials had been fired.The kingdom offered a far different version of events than those given by Turkish officials, who have said an “assassination squad” from the kingdom including an official from Prince Mohammed’s entourage and an “autopsy expert” flew in ahead of time and laid in wait for Khashoggi at the consulate. Beyond its statements attributed to anonymous officials, Saudi Arabia offered no evidence to support its claims.On Friday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for a “prompt, thorough and transparent investigation” into Khashoggi’s death.Asked Friday if he found the Saudi story credible, Trump said: “I do, I do,” adding: “It’s early, we haven’t finished our review or investigation.”The White House said Saturday it was “saddened” after confirmation that Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate, but made no mention of US action against its major ally.In the first US response to Saudi Arabia’s admission, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said that Washington “acknowledges the announcement.”“We will continue to closely follow the international investigations into this tragic incident and advocate for justice that is timely, transparent and in accordance with all due process,” she said.Saudi Arabia has sacked deputy intelligence chief Ahmad al-Assiri and royal court media advisor Saud al-Qahtani, both top aides to bin Salman, who has faced mounting pressure over the Khashoggi affair.The admission that Khashoggi died at the hands of Saudi officials after weeks of vehement denials by the Gulf kingdom comes after Trump said that the United States, which is Saudi Arabia’s biggest backer, could impose sanctions if it was proved the journalist was killed.Saudi Attorney General Sheikh Saud al-Mojeb said Khashoggi died after “discussions” at the consulate devolved into an altercation, without disclosing any details on the whereabouts of his body.“Preliminary investigations… revealed that the discussions that took place between him and the persons who met him… at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul led to a brawl and a fist fight with the citizen, Jamal Khashoggi, which led to his death, may his soul rest in peace,” the attorney general said in a statement.The Saudi king also ordered the setting up of ministerial committee under the chairmanship of the crown prince, widely known as MBS, to restructure the kingdom’s intelligence agency and “define its powers accurately,” state media said.The controversy has put the kingdom — for decades a key Western ally and bulwark against Iran in the Middle East — under unprecedented pressure to offer an explanation to take the heat off its rulers.It evolved into a major crisis for Prince Mohammed, a Trump administration favorite who has portrayed himself as a modernizing Arab reformer, but whose image and even position at home could now be gravely undermined.“Dismissing Saud al-Qahtani and Ahmad al-Assiri is as close to MBS as it is possible to go,” said Kristian Ulrichsen, a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute in the United States.“Interesting to see if these moves prove sufficient. If the drip-drip of additional details continue, there’s no buffer to shield MBS any longer.”Shortly before Riyadh confirmed that Khashoggi had been killed, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi King Salman agreed in telephone talks to continue cooperation in the investigation into the Khashoggi affair.Erdogan and Salman “emphasized the importance of continuing to work together with complete cooperation,” said a Turkish presidential source, who asked not to be named.The United States warned Friday of a “wide range” of responses should it determine that Saudi Arabia is behind the death of Khashoggi, as Turkey widened its investigation into the scandal.Trump said the United States could impose sanctions over the feared murder of Khashoggi while his top diplomat Mike Pompeo told Voice of America Radio: “We’ll certainly consider a wide range of potential responses.”The Trump administration has been notably slow to criticize Saudi Arabia, despite mounting evidence that Khashoggi vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.The Khashoggi case has presented Trump with one of the most acute foreign policy crises of his nearly two-year-old presidency.Saudi Arabia’s admission comes after Turkish authorities widened their probe on Friday, searching a forest in Istanbul.Fifteen staff, all Turkish nationals, testified at the chief prosecutor’s office, state-run news agency Anadolu said. It has been reported that Turkish employees were given the day off on October 2, the day Khashoggi disappeared.
Analysis-Furor over journalist slaying unlikely to jolt Saudi prince from power-Despite revealing inconsistencies, Riyadh’s admission that Jamal Khashoggi died at the consulate seems aimed at shielding Mohammed bin Salman, and it appears to be working-By Anuj Chopra-TOI-OCT 23,18
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AFP) — Saudi Arabia’s admission — after emphatic denials — over the killing of critic Jamal Khashoggi is aimed at shifting the responsibility away from the powerful crown prince, whose position so far appears unshaken, analysts say.The kingdom sacked two top aides to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as well three intelligence officials and arrested 18 Saudi suspects, in what some analysts called a scapegoating to quell the global outrage over Khashoggi’s killing.After 17 days of vehement denials, the kingdom’s assertion on Saturday that the journalist was killed in a “brawl and fist fight” inside a Saudi consulate in Istanbul –- without revealing the whereabouts of his body — fell on skeptical ears around the world.Saudi Arabia had previously roundly rejected allegations by Turkish officials that Khashoggi was killed by Saudi agents who dismembered his body, insisting he had walked out of the consulate alive.“Here is Saudi Arabia’s biggest problem,” said Michael Stephens, a Middle East expert at the Royal United Services Institute.The inconsistencies in the Saudi statements “now totally undermines their position,” he said.Aside from the crisis of credibility, the international furor over Khashoggi’s disappearance prompted fevered speculation that the 33-year-old prince, widely known as MBS, was at risk of being unseated from power by other royal family members.But that danger appears to have subsided, analysts say.The prince has amassed power to a level unseen by previous rulers after sidelining potential rivals, with only 82-year-old King Salman — the prince’s father — in a position to oust him.But the monarch issued a royal decree on Saturday to form a ministerial committee — headed by the prince — to revamp the kingdom’s intelligence services, indicating that he was keen for him to stay.“Despite speculation that the crisis spells the end of Mohammad bin Salman, the recent announcements prove that the king still believes that the current line of succession is suitable,” said Eurasia Group, a risk consultancy.The unprecedented crisis apparently prompted the king — who appears to have handed over day-to-day affairs to MBS — to intervene, including handling a diplomatic outreach with Turkey and the United States.-‘Aiming for accountability’-The king also ordered the sacking of deputy intelligence chief Ahmad al-Assiri and royal court media adviser Saud al-Qahtani, both part of Prince Mohammed’s inner circle.“The decision to remove members of Mohammad bin Salman’s inner circle is designed to demonstrate real accountability in the process and distance the crown prince from the murder,” Eurasia Group said.But the dramatic moves early Saturday have yet to stem the tide of global condemnation of Prince Mohammed, whose image as a modernizing Arab reformer has been tarnished with his crackdown on dissent.It has also tainted his reform program known as Vision 2030 — to prepare the kingdom for a post-oil era.“Dismissing Saud al-Qahtani and Ahmad al-Assiri is as close to MBS as it is possible to go,” said Kristian Ulrichsen, a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute in the United States.“Interesting to see if these moves prove sufficient to end the crisis. If the drip-drip of additional details continue, there’s no buffer to shield MBS any longer.”US President Donald Trump also appears to have thrown his weight behind the prince, swiftly endorsing Saudi Arabia’s explanation about the death of Khashoggi and calling it an “important first step.”But casting doubt on the claim that Khashoggi was killed during a fist fight, the Washington Post reported on Saturday that the CIA had listened to audio recordings from Turkish officials that show he was brutally killed and dismembered by a team of Saudi agents.US authorities have so far officially denied listening to any recordings.-‘No cover-up’-Pro-government Turkish media have also repeatedly claimed that Khashoggi was tortured and decapitated by a Saudi hit squad.One Saudi agent identified by Turkey was said to be a frequent companion of Prince Mohammed, three others were linked to his security detail and a fifth is a high-level forensic specialist, according to The New York Times.The kingdom’s sudden admission on Saturday appears aimed at taking the heat off its rulers.But people close to the Saudi leadership insist there was no cover up.“The removal of two top officials, a cabinet ranking, very powerful and close advisor of MBS and the deputy head of intelligence … cannot be written off as a cover up,” tweeted Ali Shihabi, head of pro-Saudi think tank Arabia Foundation which is said to be close to the government.But Shihabi himself contradicted the Saudi narrative, saying “Khashoggi died from a chokehold during a physical altercation, not a fist fight,” citing a senior Saudi source.Meanwhile, global calls are growing for Turkey to call on the UN secretary general to authorize an independent, international investigation in the case.Turkey, on its part, vowed Saturday to reveal all it knows about the death of Khashoggi, but has yet to divulge details about the investigation.“The Saudi regime must not be allowed to hide behind lies in order to literally get away with murder,” said Summer Lopez, senior director of free expression at PEN America.
Chaos, violence mark Afghan parliamentary elections-First vote in eight years marred as at least 36 people killed in attacks, election officials fail to show up and allegations of ballot stuffing cast doubt over credibility of poll-By AP-TOI-OCT 23,18
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s first parliamentary elections in eight years suffered from violence and chaos Saturday, with a multitude of attacks killing at least 36 people, key election workers failing to show up and many polling stations staying open hours later than scheduled to handle long lines of voters.Problems surrounding the elections — already three years overdue — threaten to compromise the credibility of polls which an independent monitoring group said were also marred by incidences of ballot stuffing and intimidation by armed men affiliated with candidates in 19 of the country’s 32 provinces. Some areas have yet to vote, including Kandahar, where the provincial police chief was gunned down Thursday.Stakes were high in these elections for Afghans who hoped to reform Parliament, challenging the dominance of warlords and the politically corrupt and replacing them with a younger, more educated generation of politicians. They were also high for the U.S., which is still seeking an exit strategy after 17 years of a war there that has cost more than $900 billion and claimed more than 2,400 U.S. service personnel.Deputy Interior Minister Akhtar Mohammed Ibrahimi said 36 people were killed in 193 insurgent attacks across the country: 27 civilians, eight police officers and one Afghan soldier. He said attackers used everything from grenades to small arms fire to mortars and rocket launchers, and that security forces killed 31 insurgents.The most serious attack on the polls was in a northern Kabul neighborhood where a suicide bomber blew himself up just as voting was about to end, killing three people and wounding another 20, many of them seriously, said Dr. Esa Hashemi, a physician at the nearby Afghan Hospital. Interior and defense ministry officials said 15 people were killed or wounded, including several police.Polling stations also struggled with voter registration and a new biometric system that was aimed at stemming fraud, but instead created enormous confusion because many of those trained on the system did not show up for work. Also, the biometric machines were received just a month before polls and there was no time to do field testing.Many polling stations opened as much as five hours behind schedule. The Independent Election Commission was uncertain how many of the estimated 21,000 polling stations closed by 4 p.m. local time, the original closing time. Polling was extended until 8 p.m. local time for all those polling stations that opened late, and those that could not open before 1 p.m. local time will open Sunday.Afghanistan’s deputy chief executive Mohammad Mohaqiq expressed outrage at the chaotic start to polling and assailed election preparation by the country’s election commission.“The people rushed like a flood to the polling stations, but the election commission employees were not present, and in some cases they were there but there were no electoral materials and in most cases the biometric systems was not working,” he said.“The widespread reports today of confusion and incompetence in the administration of the elections … suggest that bureaucratic failures and lack of political will to prioritize organizing credible parliamentary elections may do more to delegitimize the election results than threats and violent attacks by the Taliban and Daesh,” said Andrew Wilder, vice-president of Asia Programs at the US Institute of Peace, using the Arabic acronym name for the Islamic State group.Afghan President Ashraf Ghani marked his ballot at the start of voting. In a televised speech afterward, he congratulated Afghans on another election and praised the security forces, particularly the air force, for getting ballots to Afghanistan’s remotest corners.“I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said, also reminding those elected that they are there to serve the people and ensure the rule of law.North of Kabul, thousands of outraged voters blocked a road after waiting more than five hours for a polling station to open, said Mohammad Azim, the governor of Qarabagh district where the demonstration took place.Election Commission Commissioner Abdul Badi Sayat said dozens of teachers who had been trained in the new biometric system had not shown up for work at the polling stations. It wasn’t clear whether that was related to a Taliban warning directed specifically at teachers and students telling them to stay away from the polls.“The long lines at many polling stations today, despite the threats and violent attacks by the Taliban and Daesh, clearly demonstrate that the problem with Afghan elections is not the enthusiasm of Afghan voters for a democratic future,” said Wilder.The Defense Ministry said it had increased its deployment of National Security Forces to 70,000 from the original 50,000 to protect polling stations.Elections in the provinces of Kandahar and Ghazni have been delayed as well as in 11 of the country’s nearly 400 districts.The Independent Election Commission registered 8.8 million people. Wasima Badghisy, a commission member, called voters “very, very brave” and said a turnout of 5 million would be a success.At a polling station in crowded west Kabul, Khoda Baksh said he arrived nearly two hours early to cast his vote, dismissing Taliban threats of violence.“We don’t care about their threats. The Taliban are threatening us all the time,” said 55-year-old Baksh, who said he wanted to see a new generation of politicians take power in Afghanistan’s 249-seat Parliament. He bemoaned the current Parliament dominated by warlords and corrupt elite. “They have done zero for us.”In the run-up to the elections, two candidates were killed while polling in Kandahar was delayed for a week after a rogue guard gunned down the powerful provincial police chief, Gen. Abdul Raziq. In the capital of Kabul, security was tight, with police and military personnel stopping vehicles at dozens of checkpoints throughout the congested city.Commission deputy spokesman Aziz Ibrahimi said results of Saturday’s voting will not be released before mid-November and final results will not be out until later in December.
US seeking ‘unipolar world’ in nuke treaty pullout, Kremlin charges-Russian official says Washington has been destroying basis for agreement prohibiting missile development for several years; lawmaker calls it blow to world stability-By AFP-OCT 23,18
MOSCOW, Russia — Washington’s move to pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty with Russia is motivated by a dream of a single global superpower, Russian state news agencies on Saturday cited a foreign ministry source as saying.“The main motive is a dream of a unipolar world. Will it come true? No,” a foreign ministry source told RIA Novosti state news agency.The official said that Russia has “many times publicly denounced the US policy course towards dismantling the nuclear deal.”Trump announced the withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty on Saturday and said Russia has violated the agreement, but he provided no details on the violations.“They have been violating it for many years,” Trump said after a rally in Elko, Nevada. “And we’re not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we’re not allowed to.”The 1987 pact, which helps protect the security of the US and its allies in Europe and the Far East, prohibits the United States and Russia from possessing, producing or test-flying a ground-launched cruise missile with a range of 300 to 3,400 miles.Washington “has approached this step over the course of many years by deliberately and step by step destroying the basis for the agreement,” the Russian official said, quoted by Russia’s three main news agencies.“This decision is part of the US policy course to withdraw from those international legal agreements that place equal responsibilities on it and its partners and make vulnerable its concept of its own ‘exceptionalism’,” the official said.Russian senator Alexei Pushkov wrote on Twitter that the move was “the second powerful blow against the whole system of strategic stability in the world” with the first being Washington’s 2001 withdrawal from the Anti- Ballistic Missile treaty.”“And again the initiator of the dissolution of the agreement is the US,” Pushkov wrote.

Indian officials exchange blame for train plowing into festival crowd-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Sudarshan Varadhan-October 23, 2018
AMRITSAR, India (Reuters) - India's railway officials and local community leaders traded blame on Saturday over an accident in which a train ran over scores of people gathered on the railway tracks for a festival in the northern city of Amritsar.Punjab state's Chief Minister Amarinder Singh told reporters on Saturday that 59 people had died with 57 injured in the accident and that an official inquiry would be carried out over the next four weeks.A large crowd had formed near the tracks on the city's fringe for the burning of effigies as part of a major Hindu festival on Friday when the train sped through the gathering in darkness, officials and witnesses said.Grieving relatives and residents, some of whom were still scouring the bloodied fields for belongings of their loved ones, said there was no warning from the train as it rolled down the tracks just as firecrackers exploded in the sky in the annual Dusshera festival."I've been seeing this event every Dusshera from here and this has never happened before, the railways should have stopped or slowed down the train," said Deep Kumari, who watched the festival from the terrace of her house. "Everyone here knows this effigy burning happens here and there is a big crowd."India's state railways, largely built during British colonial rule, have long faced criticism for their safety record. A political focus on keeping fares low for the 23 million passengers who use the network daily has resulted in decades of underinvestment in rail safety infrastructure, critics say.Data from parliament in July showed that 49,790 people were killed by trains on the tracks in India between 2015 to 2017.Friday's accident was the worst in years but Manoj Sinha, the junior minister in charge of running the world's fourth largest rail system, said they couldn't be held responsible for people gathered on tracks."Railways cannot be blamed, railways were not informed about the ceremony. Why was it organized there? There was no notice given to the railways," he told reporters as he visited the site early on Saturday, surrounded by officials and police.Clothes were strewn and there were blood marks around the narrow railway lane on the outskirts of Amritsar where the accident occurred. Police said they were still looking to ascertain the number of dead as some bodies were mangled beyond recognition.Video footage running on television stations and social media showed giant effigies burning in the distance and crackers going off while the train runs through in the foreground. Many of the victims were shooting videos on their mobile phones or taking selfies.Witnesses also said that Friday's ceremony was delayed by a few hours because the chief guest was running late, which meant the event ultimately coincided with the train's scheduled arrival.Anger turned on Navjyot Kaur Sidhu, a former Punjab state lawmaker who came late for the burning of the effigies and then left just before the accident occurred.Bikram Singh Majitha, a leader of the regional Akali Dal party, said the effigy burning usually happens at sunset, not later."You can see from some of the videos that people shot that as soon as the effigy was lit, you can the train coming from the other side. It was horrific, the organizers must answer why the delay," he said.But Kaur, whose husband, Navjyot Singh Sidhu, is a former Indian Test cricketer and now a state minister, said effigies were burned at six places in Amritsar and most of them were in fields near the tracks."The (railway authorities) should have at least issued directions to slow down the speed of the train. Such a big mistake," Kaur said on television.(Writing by Sanjeev Miglani; Editing by Sam Holmes)
