A leak of more than 11.5 million documents from a Panamanian law firm is providing a glimpse into how the world's wealthiest people hide and manipulate their money.  The "Panama Papers" come from the database of law firm Mossack Fonseca, were provided to a German newspaper which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).  Among other things, the papers hint at a possible billion dollar money laundering operation run by a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin; and how Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson had millions of dollars of undeclared interest in his country's bailed-out banks.  Many other past and present world leaders are implicated in the dump.  So is Jackie Chan, from the Kung Fu movies.  Naturally, those who bothered to respond to the reports deny any wrongdoing.

There's a lot of evil that's going to be revealed in this investigation:  This is a link to a pretty good overview.

Azerbaijan announced a unilateral cease-fire in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, although pro-Armenian rebels say they're still coming under fire.  Over the weekend, two decades of uneasy calm came to an end when Armenians and Azeris clashed, killing dozens of soldiers.  The fighting demonstrates how there's been no progress resolving the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is recognized as part of Muslim Azerbaijan but has a majority population of Christian Armenians.  The two groups had lived side-by-side for decades but started fighting as soon as they gained independence with the dissolution of the USSR in the early 1990s.

The US says it killed an Islamic State rocket expert with a drone attack.  Jasim Khadijah was a former Iraqi officer who was believed responsible for a barrage on a US base last month that killed Staff Sergeant Louis Cardin, the second US combat death since commencing attacks on Islamic State in 2014.

Brussels Airport reopened over the weekend for the first time since the 22 March bombings, and officials hope to handle more flights in Monday.  But it's only running at 20 percent capacity and hopes to get back to full service by the end of June.

Air France is facing a backlash after instructing female staff to wear trousers instead of skirts when flying to Tehran, Iran, and to don a headscarf when they leave the plane.  Yikes.  Staff representatives say the clothing guidelines are an “ostentatious religious sign” that goes against French law, and the Union says the measures are an attack on individual freedoms.  Air France resumes flights to Tehran later this month after eight years of observing international economic sanctions on Tehran for its nuclear program.

Three people were killed when a commuter train slammed into a double decker bus filled with factory workers en route from Bangkok to holiday on the island of Koh Samui.  CCTV caught the wreck from at least two different angles.  A recent university of Michigan study ranked Thailand's roads as among the world's most dangerous.

Two people died in a train derailment in the US, near the east coast city of Philadelphia.

Fire raced through the former Russian Defense Ministry building near the Kremlin in Moscow; officials aren't saying what kind of damage was done before firefighters got it under control.  The Defense Ministry moved into a new headquarters two years ago. 

Dozens of Palestinian fishers raced out to a new fishing zone in the Mediterranean Sea off of Gaza after Israel opened three more nautical miles to the existing perimeter, as it announced it would last week.  It's been almost ten years since Israel imposed the stricter limits, which was prompted by Hamas seizing control of Gaza from the western-backed Palestinian authority.

If it's March, it's time for the Kawasaki Giant Penis Festival in the city just outside Tokyo.  The annual fertility fest features big, giant dongs on candy, carved (ouch) into vegetables, and on large floats carried by people through the streets.
