French Cops arrested a couple after finding a Peugeot 607 containing several gas cylinders parked across the Seine River from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.  The couple were picked up some distance away, on the side of a motorway in the country's south.  The owner of the car is on a terrorism watch-list for his history of Islamist preaching; he was taken into custody but later released.  Cops found Arabic writings inside the car, but no detonation device.  France remains on high alert after a series of deadly terrorist attacks.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country would have "no problem" with taking part of a new assault to drive Islamic state from the terrorist group's de facto capital of Raqqa, Syria.  Erdogan claims US President Barack Obama floated the idea during the G20 summit in China earlier this week.  But the US has not spoken of any such military push - at least not publicly, as Erdogan has for some reason.

A London MP is demanding that China apologize for and withdraw from circulation a magazine that printed a racist slam on the UK Capital.  Air China's monthly "Wings Of China" magazine warned readers to look out for "Indians, Pakistanis and black people" when travelling in London, and suggested women are "always to be accompanied".  Labour MP for Ealing Southall Virendra Sharma said he was "shocked and appalled" over the "blatantly untrue and racist statements".  Beijing has not yet responded.

The Mexican finance minister who arranged a bizarre and ill-fated meeting of his country's president and US fascist demagogue Donald Trump has been forced to step down.  Luis Videgaray and President Enrique Pena Nieto have been under intense criticism for agreeing to the one-on-one with the guy who has repeatedly insulted their nation and their people as "rapists" and "murderers".  Trump was polite to Pena Nieto's face, but bellowed his same old, same old bigoted rhetoric at an alleged policy announcement that night. 

Meanwhile, Trump's pay-for-play scandal in Florida is not going away.  The Quid Pro Quo runs deep:  Trump paid a chicken-feed US$2,500 fine for illegally donating US$25,000 to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's campaign; shortly after that, Bondi declined to join a multi-state lawsuit against Trump over his snake-oil Real Estate seminars.  And months later, Trump hosted a fund-raising a lavish fundraiser for Bondi at his Mar-a-Lago resort, followed by Bondi endorsing Trump in March of this year.  The US corporate media is slowly taking note that Hillary Clinton is not the "crooked" one here.

Hey, you know those headphone buds you bought to use with your iPhone 1 through 6?  They won't work with the iPhone 7. 

Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenney told the Dail that the European Commission ruling on Apple's Irish tax payments is damaging to Ireland and could not be allowed to stand.  It means his minority government and conservative supporters will go to Brussels to appeal the ruling that Apple must pay US$13 Billion because Ireland's sweetheart deal with Apple to locate their facilities there and do business on the continent, virtually tax-free.  Sinn Fein and other fiscally responsible Leftist parties say Ireland should take the money - plus interest - and spend it social services that were gutted because of awful, horrible, terrible, and most-importantly FAILED austerity policies.

Israel handed a Russian Orthodox priest over to Russian security agents so he could be extradited back north to face child molestation charges.  Gleb Grozovsky denies abusing girls as young as twelve-years old at a religious camp in Greece three years ago and in Saint Petersburg before that.  Grozovsky's lawyers managed to delay the extradition process in the courts until now, claiming his life would be in danger in Russia.  The Supreme Court finally disagreed.

A newly elected Democratic Alliance (DA) South African mayor is rejecting the fleet of luxury cars purchased by his African National Congress (ANC) predecessor, opting to keep just one for his official use.  The rest will go to police in the town of Tshwane, a metropolitan area which includes the capital Pretoria.  The spokesman for Mayor Solly Msimanga says the mayor's BMW 5 Series could not "be dispensed with because it's been bought and paid for already and treasury regulations prohibit that", however, "As soon as he can replace it, he will, with a sensible, low-cost vehicle" such as a Toyota Corolla.  The ANC took big hits in last month's elections because of public distaste for corruption and wastefulness.

Transgender people in Bolivia for the first time are getting accurate identification cards.  Under a law passed in May, citizens can request having their name, gender and photo changed on official documents in order to reflect the gender they identify with.  The Catholic Church and evangelicals strongly opposed the measure, despite that fact their bibles have absolutely nothing to say about transgender issues.
