US Commandos and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters freed 70 hostages in a raid on a prison in northern Iraq operated by the terrorists of Islamic state.  One American was killed, marking the first US combat casualty in the fight on IS.  The pentagon says troops killed "a number" of IS terrorists and a Kurdish source says they captured five "high value" IS figures. 

The sword-wielding killer in a black mask and nazi helmet who murdered a teenager and a teacher at a school in Sweden had far-right sympathies, according to local media.  "When we first saw him, we thought it was a joke," said one student, "He was wearing a mask and black clothes and (carrying) a long sword. Some students wanted to take their picture with him."  Police shot and killed the 21-year old suspect at the scene in Trollhattan, famous for being the town where Saab cars were once made.  The Swedish news agency TT and the daily Expressen say the dead suspect had a social media account on which he posted videos glorifying Hitler and nazi Germany while criticizing immigration to Sweden. 

The Swedish government says it expects as many as to 190,000 migrants to seek asylum there this year - so many, that thousands will be housed in tents over the winter.  Considering Sweden's relatively small population of about 10 million, the migrant influx is proportionately higher than even Germany is absorbing.  About 30,000 of these asylum seekers are unaccompanied children.

The UN is accusing the Czech Republic of committing systematic human rights violations as an "integral part" of its policy to deal with asylum seekers.  The country lies to the side of the main migration route followed by refugees and asylum seekers through the Balkans into Germany. But those who have been arrested there have been detained for up to 90 days, and strip-searched for money to pay for their own detention.  The Czech government claims its actions are legal, but UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein notes that this comes amid increasingly xenophobic and "Islamophobic" public statements by President Milos Zeman.

Australians are among about a thousand tourists stranded at the ruins at Machu Picchu in the Peruvian Andes Mountains.  Anti-privatization protesters have blocked the only rail line out of there, demonstrating against a new law privatizing many of the country's archaeological sites.  25-year old Syndey-sider Sam Muraoka told the ABC that crews "can't clear the tracks because people have put debris and trees on the train lines".  Marooned tourists were forced to camp out on floors, or try to walk out of the mountains.

An Israeli soldier has killed a Jewish Israeli civilian in a case of mistaken identity.  Each thought the other was a Palestinian attacker.  Israel is under heightened alert after a spate of attacks on Israelis and wider Israeli-Palestinian violence.  US Secretary of State John Kerry has called for Israelis and Palestinians to "end all incitement, to end all violence".

Russia is expanding its military presence in the Kuril Islands, four of which were taken from Japan in the waning days of World War II and are claimed by Tokyo.  Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said the Kuril base would be developed along with four Arctic bases.  Japan protested when Russia conducted military exercises on the islands earlier this year.

The Chinese Communist Party is banning its members from joining golf clubs, private gyms, and other organizations  The party didn't explain "why", but such clubs are widely seen as the backrooms where corrupt politicians cut shady deals.  China has been on a strict anti-corruption drive since 2012.
