A chunk of debris from missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 will be sent to France for examination, from the place where it was found - the remote French territory of Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean. The wing flag, encrusted with sea shells, was found during a beach clean-up volunteer dayand positively identified as coming from a Boeing 777. MH370 is the only missing 777 in the world. Searchers also found in the flotsam what could be part of a suitcase, but it's yetto be determined if it's from the missing flight or just part of the usual garbage found in our planet's oceans.
Israeli police say the ultra-Orthodox Jew who allegedly stabbed six people at the Jerusalem Gay Parade on Friday is the same man who was sentenced to prison for the same crime in 2005. Yishai Schlissel was released from prison just three weeks ago after serving less than ten years of a 15 year sentence. Two of those hurt in Friday's attack are in a serious condition in hospital. Witnesses say Schlissel emerged from behind marchers and attacked. The Jerusalem Gay Parade has long been a point of conflict between Jerusalem's secular majority and its ultra-Orthodox communities.
Israeli Authorities granted a permit to destroy a Palestinian village named Susiya - a collection of tents, sheds,and small brick buildings that has received Australian support through the NGO Action Aid to establish clincs and a kindergarten. The government's reasoning is that it never gave permission for the Palestinian village to be built - something that is frequently rejected by the Israeli government. Sydney-born Israeli Ari Briggs led the campaign to destroy Palestinian Susiya, and his Regevem settler's organization supported the construction of a Jewish settlement with the same name, Susiya. Israel's Supreme Court is to take up the case on whether Palestinian Susiya can exist next week.
Verdicts in the retrial of three Al Jazeera journalists in Egypt have been delayed. One of the three, Aussie Peter Greste, says the situation is "incredibly frustrating". Greste and his colleagues deny charges of helping the banned Muslim Brotherhood in their reports on the military deposing the brotherhood Mohammed Morsi from the presidency.
The International Monetary Fund expressed doubt about providing Greece with a third bailout, at least in the early stages. An official said that Athens and the European Union will have to undertake more measures to control spending and maintain tax revenue. That means that the terrible, horrible, awful deal that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accepted to keep Greece in the Euro apparently is not going to be terrible, horrible, and awful enough for the IMF. Look out, Greece, the creditors are coming with even more "austerity" for a population that's already suffered through a crappy economy and joblessness for years because of the sins of a handful of banksters.
A runaway truck in Mexico killed 16 people and injured 30 more. It happened in a religious procession in the town of Mazapil, in Zacatecas state. Investigators say the vehicle's brakes appear to have failed. They'd like to know for sure, but the driver reportedly fled after the crash.
A former police officer pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the killing of a motorist in Cincinnati,Ohio in the United States, an event clearly captured by the ex-cop's body camera. "Former", because Officer Ray Tensing has been fired. The video shows Tensing stopping Sam DuBose for the penny-ante offense of not having a front license plate on his car; out of nowhere while trying to convince DuBose to exit the car, Tensing pulls his gun and shoots DuBose in the head. That caused the man to slump down on the accelerator, propelling the car forward. Tensing lied in his report and claimed that he was afraid of being run over by a car that his own bodycam showed was not moving until after he opened fire.
US wildlife officials want to have a word with the most-hated man on the Internet, Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, about the despicable killing of Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe. However, Palmer has gone into hiding and has not been located. US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Director Dan Ashe said his agency's investigation will "go where facts lead". Palmer had earlier released statements claiming that he thought the hunt was permitted and legal, but his two guides have been charged with poaching. Cecil was a prime tourism draw for Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park. Authorities believe Palmer and his crew lured the great beast off of the protected preserve with a freshly killed animal, shot it with a crossbow, and tracked a wounded Cecil for a grueling 40 hours (for Cecil, not for those cowards) only to finish him off with a gun.
White Lion Cubs at the Sevastopol Zoo in Crimea are fuzzy and apparently quite thirsty.
China's Communist Party has expelled former high-ranking Chinese army figure Guo Boxiong as part of a corruption probe. President Xi Jinping took office three years ago and has since bagged several top officials from the military, government, and ruling Party- even the all-powerful politburo. Guo is accused of taking bribes in exchange for granting promotions. Several Chinese military officers reportedly complain that the country's vast military couldn'twin a war because it beset with corruption.
