Exploding fireworks for a Hindu religious festival caused a fire and building collapse in Kerala, India that killed at least 102 people.  Another 300 people were injured.  These fireworks were packed into a storage room at Kollam Temple, where thousands go every year for the New Year's festival, even though local officials denied a permits for display because of safety concerns.  Most of the people were killed in the Temple collapse. 

Ukraine's pro-Western Prime Minister Arseniy "Yats" Yatsenyuk says he will resign over the government's failure to enact "real changes".  The problem is what he calls an "artificial political crisis" of gridlock that prevent deeper austerity measures to satisfy Ukraine's creditors at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  His position was further undone by Dutch voters who decided against a European Union deal to remove trade barriers with Kiev.  Yats was identified as the US State Department's "go to" guy before the Maidan Square revolution that toppled the previous pro-Russian regime. 

Several thousand people filled the big square outside Malta's capital on Sunday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.  This comes after two of his close associates were named in the Panama papers as having secret offshore financial dealings.

The likely first round in Peru's presidential election is bringing voters to the ballot boxes on Sunday.  Pro-market authoritarian Keiko Fujimori remains first in the polls, but dropped from 43 percent to 37 percent, making it unlikely she'll pass the 51 percent simple majority needed to win office in the first round.  That - plus Fujimori's high negative rating of 51 percent - make the second place finisher more important.  Pro-business (but not insanely conservative) former finance minister Pedro Pablo and Progressive upstart Veronica Mendoza are statistically tied for second.  With its history of coups and violence, this will be the first time in 200 years that Peru has had four conservative democratic elections.  But it's also the first time the country has used pure electronic voting, which is easily hacked to subvert democracy.

Academic groups, the US government, and the murder victim's family are urging Chilean President Michele Bachelet to reopen the case of Pennsylvania State University mathematics professor Boris Weisfeiler, after a judge unexpectedly dropped the case.  Prof. Westfeiler died in 1985 while hiking near Colonia Dignidad, a nazi cult settlement in the southern Andes range.  This was during the fascist dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who used the settlement as a base for the torture and murder of political opponents.  A US investigation found witnesses who said Westfeiler was shot execution-style, but the Chilean judge ruled out a link to Pinochet and allowed the case to lapse because of the statute of limitations.  If it had been recognized as one of Pinochet's many crimes against humanity, there would have been no time limit to prosecute the eight military suspects.

Prosecutors say the gang that carried out the 22 March terrorist bombings in Brussels originally intended to strike in France - but they changed their plans as a series of police raids related to last November's Paris attacks closed in on them.  32 people were killed in Brussels, 130 in Paris.  Terrorism suspect Mohamed Abrini, known as the "man in the hat" from Brussels, reportedly told prosecutors that the group "made the hasty decision" to strike out locally after the arrest of their friend Salah Abdeslam was arrested in the Belgian capital.

Greece condemned as "deplorable" Macedonian border guards' use of tear gas on refugees who tried to break through the border and head north.  "Two hundred people were treated for respiratory problems caused by tear gas, mostly men but including women and some children under the age of five," said Jonas Hagensen, spokesman for the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres which is helping Greece with the 11,000 refugees camped out at the north border.

The Boston Globe newspaper on Sunday published a version of what its front page would look like if fascist demagogue Donald Trump were elected President of the United States (.pdf link).  The headlines include, "Deportations to Begin"; "New Libel Law Targets 'Absolute Scum' in Press"; and "US Soldiers Refuse Order To Kill ISIS Families".  In a scathing editorial, the Globe called the mock-up "an exercise in taking a man at his word", based on the horrible things Trump has said on the campaign trail.
