US Secretary of State John Kerry is threatening to suspend Syrian Civil War peace talks with Russia, as the Kremlin and its Syrian allies continues a relentless pounding of rebel-held areas of Aleppo.  "We are on the verge of suspending the discussion because it is irrational in the context of the kind of bombing taking place to be sitting there trying to take things seriously," Kerry told an audience in Washington.  Despite air superiority, recovering territory is going very slowly for government forces; after a week of bombing, Bashar al-Assad's troops have so far taken one neighborhood in the north.  The UN's humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien told the Security Council that conditions in rebel-held Aleppo had descended into the "merciless abyss of humanitarian catastrophe."

The UN Security Council must investigate allegations of the Sudanese government using chemical weapons against its own people in the troubled Darfur region, says Amnesty International.  The rights group has gathered accounts of at least 30 chemical attacks over the past eight months that killed as many as 250 people - many or most of the victims being children.  "A cloud of suspicion hangs over the Sudanese authorities' conduct in Darfur," said Amnesty's Tirana Hassan, who added that the alleged attacks have "every sign of being a war crime."  The UN says Sudan has consistently refused to allow peacekeepers in the region where the attacks were reported.

Indian elite troops crossed into the Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir, killing several militants in so-called "launching pads" where the militants were allegedly staging strikes against India.  The surprise raid is inflaming tensions between the nuclear neighbors.  India rarely announces these sorts of military operations, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi had warned that the 18 September attack on an Indian base in Kashmir that killed 18 soldiers "would not go unpunished".  Others fear the escalation could wreck a 2003 Kashmir ceasefire.

Somali officials are demanding an explanation after a US drone strike killed 22 civilians and Somali troops.  The Pentagon had previously said the strike killed nine al-Shabaab militants, but that it is now investigating.  There is concern that this is the result of infighting within Somali, and local officials of one region incorrectly or maliciously identifying those in another area of being extremists. 

A commuter train failed to slow on the approach to the station in Hoboken, New Jersey, plowing over the terminus and flying into a platform of commuters.  One person is dead and more than a hundred people are injured from flying debris and shattered glass falling from canopied pedestrian walkways.  The station is usually very busy because it's the final stop before the Hudson River, where commuters transfer to other trains and ferries to cross over to New York City.  Federal investigators will determine why the driver did not or could not slow. 

Turkish autocrat Recep Tayyip Erdogan will extend by another three months the country's state of emergency that followed the 15 July failed coup.  More than 100,000 people suspected of opposition links have been sacked from civil service jobs and the police, and more than 40,000 remain detained without trial.  Erdogan (who once had his balls kicked in by a horse) also lashed at the financial ratings service Moody's, which downgraded Turkey's sovereign debt rating to "junk" status over the weekend.

A court in Sao Paulo, Brazil threw out the convictions of 74 cops in the deaths of more than a hundred prisoners during the 1992 riot and crackdown at Carandiru jail.  Relatives of the dead men immediately set out to appeal the ruling, as did prosecutors who called the judge's actions "perplexing".  No cops were hurt in the assault at Carandiru, and the trials didn't take place until 20 years after - meaning the officers never served a day in prison.

Singapore jailed a teen blogger for six weeks for "wounding religious feelings" by criticizing Islam and Christianity on the internet.  Amos Yee was previously jailed for four seeks in 2015 when he was just 15 years old for criticizing the personality cult around thate late Singapore leader Lee Kuan Yew.  The judge claimed Yee's comments "generate social unrest", which I suppose could be true if anyone actually gave validity to the comments of a mouthy teenager.
