1 Orlando rabbi: This is an attack against humanity (1.05/2) Rabbis and Jewish leaders across Florida expressed their horror at the barbaric attack in an Orlando gay nightclub on Sunday morning. Rabbi Hillel Skolnik, head of the Southwest Orlando Jewish Congregation, said the shooting was “an attack against humanity, an attack against the LGBT community, against the US and against LGBT people all over the world.” “It makes people afraid to leave their homes and to live their daily lives, but we must continue on with life and not let the terrorists win,” he told The Jerusalem Post. The South Orlando Jewish Congregation, a Conservative community, opened a special fund-raising campaign to support victims of the shooting and their families. Skolnik said his community would be holding a prayer vigil for the victims and their families later in the week, although the date is yet to be set since police forces are currently stretched thin providing protection to similar events across the area. The rabbi said he had personally talked to one member of his community who worked in a restaurant close by to the nightclub, and who was familiar with several of the victims. “She’s heart broken and in tears for clear reasons,” he said. “I saw her this morning and she was visibly shaken.” Skolnik said he addressed his congregation over the Shavuot holiday regarding the attack and gave a message of respect and fighting intolerance to the community. “We must do our best not to allow the hatred that exists in the world to infiltrate out own lives, to ensure that the values of love, compassion and respect are the values that inform our lives and the way we interact with others, and continue to build the kind of society that we want to live in,” said the rabbi. He added that the capability of Israelis to overcome repeated terrorism and loss was something he and the congregation were drawing on in Orlando in the wake of the attack. Rabbi Tom Heyn of the Temple Israel of Greater Miami – which runs a program serving the LGBT Jewish community in South Florida – described the shooting as “profoundly sad and troubling.” Heyn insisted the cause of the slaying was not the Muslim faith of shooter Omar Mateen but the easy availability of assault rifles as well as Mateen’s psychological problems. “He is one of thousands of people who externalize their fear and anger through violence,” said Heyn. “It is important for us that civic leaders take steps to reduce gun violence, while we as a community are trying to promote the progressive values that we stand for as a Reform community, equality, inclusion, service to the community and interfaith cooperation.” Members of Temple Israel participated in the mass vigil staged in Miami Beach on Sunday night in honor of the victims, while the community’s annual “Pride Seder” scheduled for this Wednesday – which highlights the experiences of LGBT people – will take on even greater meaning, he said. “We now have a heightened sense of responsibility to advance the cause of equality and to overcome the extremist views at the root of this problem: homophobia, bigotry and racism. These are the problems and they exist in all religions and all communities and this is what we must root out.” Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt said the “heinous” attack is “yet another reminder of the serious threat posed by the Islamic State terrorist group.” He described the Orlando shooting as a “barbaric act of terrorism in a week that has seen brutal bombings across Iraq, an attack on a café in Tel Aviv, and now this tragedy.” “We must continue to fight this threat against democracy and pluralism with all of the tools available, and by exposing those who perpetrate hateful ideologies of violence and extremism,” Greenblatt said. The ADL also expressed concern that the attack could lead to a backlash against American Muslims. “Whether citizens like the individual suspected of committing this act or war- torn refugees seeking safety, we must remember that we do not define people by their faith,” Greenblatt stressed. “We urge all Americans to not fight hatred with hatred, but rather to come together around our common values of decency and respect.” David Harris, CEO of the American Jewish Committee, said AJC is “simply speechless in the face of such an act of pure evil and hatred.” “This is a time for national solidarity and mourning,” he added. “Violence and hate crimes must be totally and categorically rejected.” Raising the endless debate on gun control, he also asked: “How can weapons be so easily found and used to such tragic ends in our beloved country?” The group New Yorkers Against Gun Violence stressed Sunday that “any shooting, whether it is deemed a mass shooting or not, is an act of terrorism to the person being shot, to their friends and family, and to their communities.” They added that the weapon used in the Orlando attack, an AR-15 assault rifle with a high capacity ammunition magazine, is an arm designed by the military for the military, “yet they have been used time after time to slaughter Americans in our schools, houses of worship, movie theaters, malls and night clubs.”

2 Euro 2016: Rooney, Hodgson urge England fans to avoid trouble (1.05/2) Marseille : England manager Roy Hodgson has urged the team's fans to stay out of trouble after violence between Russian and English hooligans prompted European football's governing body UEFA to threaten to disqualify both teams from the ongoing Euro 2016 tournament. English and Russian supporters were involved in widespread clashes here ahead of their Group B match on Friday. The violence left at least 35 people injured -- most of them English -- including a 50-year-old Englishman who is battling for his life in a hospital. Wayne Rooney "As the England manager, I am obviously now very concerned about the threat that is hanging over us and the sanction that could possibly be imposed upon the England team. We worked very hard to get here and we want to stay in the competition," Hodgson said in a video shared by the Football Association on Twitter. "I’m appealing therefore to all of our fans, and we appreciated your support at the matches of course, but I’m appealing to you to stay out of trouble and try and make certain that these threats that are being issued are never carried out and we will be able to do the best we can to stay in the competition," he added. French authourites have acknowledged that approximately 150 Russian hooligans trained in various form of martial arts were involved in much of the violence altough they also hold English fans responsible. England captain Wayne Rooney, who also appeared in the video, thanked the fans for their support, while urging them to avoid getting into trouble ahead of the team's next engagement -- against Wales in Lens on Thursday. "I’d like to thank the fans for the support against Russia. Now we have a big game coming up against Wales and I’d like to ask the fans, ‘please, if you don’t have a ticket, don’t travel’. And for fans with tickets, ‘be safe, be sensible and continue with your great support for the players’," he said.

3 Donald Trump Revokes Washington Post’s Press Credentials (1.05/2) Donald Trump said that he is revoking the press credentials of the Washington Post , after complaining about a headline on one of their stories about his response to the terrorist attack in Orlando. On Facebook and Twitter, Trump wrote that “based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post.” Earlier, he had complained about a headline on a story about his comments on President Obama’s speech about the Orlando shooting. “I am no fan of President Obama, but to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is, they wrote, ‘Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting’ as their headline. Sad!” Trump wrote. The story was about comments that Trump made on “Fox & Friends” on Monday, in which he said that “we’re led by a man that is either not tough , not smart, or he’s got something else in mind. People cannot believe it. They cannot believe that President Obama is acting the ways he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on.” Martin Baron, the executive editor of the Post, said that Trump’s decision to revoke the credentials is “nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press. When coverage doesn’t correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished. The Post will continue to cover Trump as it has all along — honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically, and unflinchingly. We’re proud of our coverage, and we’re going to keep at it.” The headline to the story now reads, “Donald Trump seems to connect President Obama to Orlando shooting.” Trump’s campaign has denied press access to reporters from Politico and BuzzFeed, but he has previously criticized the Post and the motives of its owner, Jeff Bezos , the founder of Amazon. Last month, Trump accused Bezos of trying to use the Post as a “tool for political power against me and against other people,” and that Amazon had an “antitrust” problem. Bezos said that Trump’s attacks were “not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to behave,” while noting that he welcomed scrutiny of Amazon.

4 Euro 2016: France makes 116 arrests since start of championship (1.02/2) Paris : French police have made 116 arrests since the start of the 2016 European Football Championship on Friday, the ministry of interior announced on Monday after a weekend marked with clashes between Russian and English fans in Marseille. In a statement, the ministry said that of those 116 people arrested, 63 are still detained, reports Efe. France has ordered the deportation of three fans and decided that five others will be prohibited from entering the country. In recent weeks, France passed similar measures against 3,000 people who have been banned from access to soccer stadiums in other countries as well. The interior ministry insisted that these actions, aimed at security, will continue throughout the competition. The latest security measures are in reaction to the riots in Marseille on Saturday afternoon, hours before the match between England and Russia. The riots ended with 35 injured, including four in a serious condition and one critical.

5 BREAKING NEWS: Policeman stabbed to death in Paris (1.02/2) A French police commander has been stabbed to death outside his Paris home tonight by an attacker who is now feared to be holding the officer's wife and son hostage. Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, suffered nine stomach wounds at a private address in Magnanville, in the Yvelines department, north of Paris, shortly after 8.30pm. Mr Salvaing, an assistant chief with the judicial police at nearby Mureaux, died at the scene of the crime. Scroll down for video An elite RAID police commando squad was scrambled as the knifeman locked himself inside the house with Mr Salvaing's family. 'It is believed the attacker is a neighbour,' said a witness at the scene of the siege. 'The street has now been shut off, and the electricity and gas has been cut'. An Interior Ministry spokesman in Paris said a police negotiator has started talking to the attacker, who has not yet been formally identified. 'It's a crisis situation and it's expected to go on for a while'said the spokesman. 'We don't know the motives nor the identity of the attacker.' Mr Salvaing was married with a child, and was known as a 'friendly police officer with a very good reputation,' said a former colleague. France is currently under a State of Emergency following last year's Islamic State terrorist attacks, in which almost 150 people were murdered, including two police officers.

7 Pinatubo rivers take time to recover (Last of two parts) CITY OF SAN FERNANDO —Not only were lives and properties lost to the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption and succeeding lahar flow (volcanic debris washed down by rains from the slopes). Rivers were also among those erased by nature’s destructive forces. And while people have already rebuilt from the disaster, rivers are taking more time to come back to life. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has opened the original channel of Pasig-Potrero River and built a transverse dike to drain the water out and direct it toward Manila Bay via Pasac River through the towns of Minalin and Sasmuan in Pampanga province. With high river beds and a small volume of water during dry months, the eight major rivers linked to Mt. Pinatubo are not navigable by boats. Portions of Pasac River in Sasmuan dry up, making Orani town in neighboring Bataan province just a walking distance. In rainy months, however, Pasac River does not drain out efficiently, causing water to flow back inland. This takes place because tide levels are higher at the mouth of Manila Bay. The discrepancy reaches a meter or two, according to a study done in 2002 by the Japanese consulting firm Nippon Koie for the Mt. Pinatubo Hazard Urgent Mitigation Project Phases 3 and 4 that would cover Pasac delta, Porac-Gumain River and a new third river carved out from Mexico, San Fernando and Minalin towns. According to the study, lands also sink in the Pasac area at around 20 millimeters per year and long-term sea level changes are assumed at 5 mm yearly. Silt and trash The 260-kilometer-long Pampanga River, which drains more than 30 rivers in Central Luzon, also leads to Manila Bay, bringing silt and trash. “Sediment yields on Porac-Gumain and Pasig-Potrero rivers are still several times higher than under pre-eruption conditions, and are expected to remain high for the next few decades,” the study said. With high sand loads, it said, “it will be extremely difficult to permanently restore channels to conditions that existed prior to the eruption.” “All rivers in the project area have been subject to significant modification by both natural processes (lahar and sediment movements resulting from the Mt. Pinatubo eruption) and man-made interventions,” the study said. These include building channels to divert water flow, dredging river beds, building levees and embankments for fish farming. “These factors have contributed to significant changes in the habitat value and overall biological productivity of the riverine ecosystem,” it said. Mangroves and nipa trees, estimated to have occupied 20 to 30 percent of the area at the mouth of Pasac River in 1977, have been destroyed by the eruption or cleared for fishponds. As rivers were choked with lahar, the area used for freshwater fishponds have been reduced from 9,105 hectares in 1989 to 8,140 ha to the present, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Brackish water areas in Pampanga near Manila Bay have expanded about six times to 29,084 ha from 5,342 ha in 1989. Gray highway In Tarlac province, O’Donnell River looks like a gray highway on dry months and a pathway of lahar that rains scour from tall canyons. Sacobia and Bamban rivers are choked with lahar. Sections near MacArthur Highway are 1-2 meters below the spilling levels of dikes. In Zambales province, the riverbed in the midstream and downstream of Bucao, Maloma and Sto. Tomas rivers have “remarkably” risen, according to the Nippon Koie study. By 2015, several sections of those rivers were higher than the levels of dikes, indicating slow water discharge toward the sea. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) estimated the amount of volcanic debris at 2.8 billion cubic meters in Bucao, 0.6 billion cubic meters in Sto. Tomas, and 0.1 billion cubic meters in Maloma. “As a result of the massive lahar deposit accumulated along the concerned riverbeds, most of the aquatic flora and fauna have been destroyed since the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. The priority structural measures should be able to stabilize the river water flow and contribute to recovery of the aquatic flora and fauna,” the study said. Never forget Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda urged the people not to forget the Pinatubo disaster because it “developed courage, unity and resiliency in our people and deepened our faith in God.” “Our challenge now is let the next generations know this kind of natural hazard and what we Kapampangans did to overcome it,” she said. Pineda thanked former Presidents Fidel Ramos, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Benigno Aquino III for helping Pampanga and the rest of Central Luzon through infrastructure, livelihood and housing projects that fast-tracked the rehabilitation process. “We must thank also the business sector because despite the odds and risks, they did not leave Pampanga and instead invest more in it,” the governor said. Businessman Levy Laus, former president of the Save San Fernando Movement, said Pampanga survived because national leaders heeded appeals to save the province from plans to let nature take its course and to relocate the people to Mindanao or Palawan. The economy of Central Luzon showed signs of fast recovery in the last 24 years, according to Greg Pineda, assistant regional director of the National Economic and Development Authority. He cited the gross regional domestic product that reached 7.61 percent in 1988 slumped to a negative 2.4 percent in 1991, but recovered at 9 percent in 2014. “The pre-eruption level was not restored until 2009. Incidentally, in 1998 growth rate registered -6.77 percent attributed to the Asian financial crisis of 1997,” he said. The mushrooming of shopping malls and car retail in the region’s key cities since 2000 was another indication that the economy had weathered the disaster, he said.

8 Omar Mateen: religious man, bipolar or Islamic State terrorist? FORT PIERCE, Florida— There were conflicting profiles of the 29-year-old Omar Mateen who opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday, leaving 50 people dead and 53 wounded. He was a religious man who attended the local mosque, according to an imam. But Mateen’s ex-wife said he was bipolar with mental issues. Even so, both Imam Syed Shafeeq Rahman and the ex-wife, Sitora Yusufiy, voiced doubts Mateen had anything to do with the Islamic State (IS) group, an angle police investigators are looking into. Mateen was the son of an Afghan immigrant who had a talk show in the United States, the nature of which was not entirely clear: A former Afghan official said the program was pro-Taliban but a former colleague said it was enthusiastically pro-American. Rahman said Mateen attended evening prayer services at the city’s Islamic Center three to four times a week, most recently with his young son. Although Mateen was not very social, he also showed no signs of violence, according to the imam. He said he last saw Mateen on Friday. “When he finished prayer he would just leave,” Rahman told The Associated Press (AP). “He would not socialize with anybody. He would be quiet. He would be very peaceful.” ‘Mentally unstable’ Yusufiy said her ex-husband was bipolar. “He was mentally unstable and mentally ill,” she told reporters in Boulder, Colorado. Although records show the couple didn’t divorce for two years after the marriage, Yusufiy said she was actually with Mateen for only four months because he was abusive. She said he would not let her speak to her family and that family members had to come and literally pull her out of his arms. Authorities immediately began investigating whether Sunday’s attack was an act of terrorism. A law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the gunman made a 911 call from the nightclub professing allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State (IS) group, Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi. Yusufiy said she was “devastated, shocked, started shaking and crying” when she heard about the shooting, but she attributed the violence to Mateen’s mental illness—not to any alliance with terrorist groups. Rahman agreed. “My personal opinion is that this has nothing to do with IS,” he said. Father speaks Seddique Mir Mateen, the father of the shooter, is a life insurance salesman who started a group in 2010 called Durand Jirga Inc., according to Qasim Tarin, a businessman from California who was a Durand Jirga board member. The name refers to the Durand line, the long disputed border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Tarin said Seddique Mir Mateen had a television show on which issues facing Afghanistan were discussed. “It’s shocking,” he said about the shooting. “(Omar Mateen’s) father loves this country.” Some of Seddique Mir Mateen’s shows were taped and later posted on YouTube. During one episode, a sign in the background read: “Long live the USA! Long live Afghanistan. .. Afghans are the best friends to the USA.” Pro-Taliban But a former Afghan official said the “Durand Jirga Show” appears on Payam-e-Afghan, a California-based channel that supported ethnic solidarity with the Afghan Taliban. Viewers from Pashtun communities in the United States regularly call in to the channel to espouse support for Pashtun domination of Afghanistan over the nation’s minorities, including Hazaras, Tajiks and Uzbeks, the official said. The “Durand Jirga Show” expresses support for the Taliban, has an anti- Pakistan slant, complains about foreigners in Afghanistan and criticizes US actions there, the official said. Seddique Mir Mateen lavished praise on current Afghan President Ashraf Ghani when he appeared on the show in January 2014, but he has since denounced the Ghani government, according to the official, who said that on Saturday, Seddique Mateen appeared on the show dressed in military fatigues and used his program to criticize the current Afghan government. No criminal record Mateen purchased at least two firearms legally within the last week or so, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Mateen had no criminal record. Yusufiy said he wanted to be a police officer and had applied to the police academy. Mateen became a security guard at the G4S company, which identifies itself on its website as “the leading global integrated security company.” Rahman said he knew Mateen and his family since the shooter was a young boy. Playful as a child, he became more serious as an adult, Rahman said. He spoke both English and Farsi, and was into body building. He was not, as far as the imam could see, someone who would ever commit such a gruesome act of mass violence. “It was totally unexpected,” Rahman said. AP

9 ‘A triumph of Kapampangan resiliency’ PORAC, Pampanga—More than 120 offroaders revisited a lahar watch point here on Saturday to start a series of events celebrating the “triumph of Kapampangan resiliency” following Mt. Pinatubo’s 1991 eruption that set off a lingering disaster in Central Luzon. The commemorative trail to Delta 5 lahar monitoring station and a thanksgiving Mass held at the Sapang Libut portion upstream of Pasig- Potrero River were part of the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the volcano’s eruption on June 15, 1991, said Levy Laus, chair of the Pinatubo executive committee. Mounted on their powerful vehicles, members of Pampanga Offroaders Club Inc., Angeles City Four-Wheelers, Pampanga Adventure Team, Club Overland and Porac 4-by-4 Club trekked to Delta 5 via the FVR Megadike in Porac, hurdling rocks, uneven riverbed, soft sand and pools of water like these were playgrounds. Delta 5 watch point Police set up Delta 5 atop what the Aeta people called Mt. Macondo in 1993 to give timely warnings to lowland communities of impending lahar flow (volcanic debris washed down by rains from the slopes). Policemen and soldiers took turns monitoring the situation and were occasionally joined by then Central Luzon police director, Chief Supt. Edgardo Aglipay, who brought them food and medicines, said Marni Castro, coordinator of the Unified Kapampangan Offroaders. Offroaders took their cue from the warnings, scrambling to where evacuation was needed, said Roberto Manalang, one of dozens of offroaders helping in rescue missions at the time. Church records of Bacolor were saved by offroaders on the alert given by the late Fr. Nestor Tayag, he said. He remembered with a laugh how Delta 5 sent responders and residents into panic in August 1994 when one of the radio operators announced in thick Visayan accent that an avalanche of 45 feet of lahar was spotted and headed to Bacolor. “When the heat of lahar cooled off and the its sound similar to a stampede of horses was over, local officials realized that what rolled down was four to five feet of lahar, not 45 feet as the radio operator announced,” said Manalang. Aeta evacuation On Saturday, the offroaders were joined by more than 100 Aeta of Barangay Sapang Uwak led by Porac Mayor Condralito de la Cruz. The indigenous people evacuated four times in the lowlands then transferred to Palayan City where many stayed for seven years. They began returning to their mountain homes starting 1993 to “end their dependence on relief [food],” said their village chief, Conrado de la Cruz. “From just about 500 Aeta in 1991, our number has reached almost 2,000,” he said. Their eldest is 96-year-old Jungle Serrano who still wears his lubay (G-string) and wields his bow and arrow for catching wild animals. “It’s still difficult to plant crops here because the soil is sandy,” said Teresita Tiglao, who was 14 years old when the volcano woke back to life. They grow banana, yam and papaya. “I wish we could grow rice and coffee again like our elders did before the eruption,” she said.

10 Facilities up but where are the senior students? “WE HAVE prepared the facilities, adjusted to the K- 12 requirements, but the students are not there. They have not yet enrolled.” That’s the lament of Rita Riddle, schools division superintendent of Caloocan City. Even with the government assistance worth P22,500 for the public school students, parents have chosen not to enroll their children in the Department of Education’s (DepEd) two-year senior high school program beginning this school year. Those joining state universities get a cash grant of P11,500 or P18,500 if they chose private universities. As of last weekend, 11,152 had enrolled in Grade 11 in the city out of an expected 20,199 students—1,768 registered in public high schools, 8, 020 in private schools, 1,329 in higher education institutions, and 35 in local universities and colleges. Other usual problems at the opening of the school year persisted elsewhere. 2 shifts In Albay province, the shifting of classes was the only applicable solution to accommodate thousands of students returning to school, especially in areas where classrooms remained unfinished. Gemma Saberon Sapo, principal of Marcial O. Ranola Memorial School in Guinobatan, said officials were left with no choice but to divide their 6,000 students in morning and afternoon shifts due to the shortage of classrooms. She said class size would be between 50 and 60 students. “While a crowded room is not really conducive to learning, we will make necessary adjustments as long as the school building for senior high is finished,” Sapo said. She said the delayed delivery of instructional materials and the shortage of teachers in senior high school were among the problems they encountered this year. In Sorsogon province, at least 56 schools had to use makeshift classrooms made of lumber, plywood and galvanized iron roof. DepEd spokesperson Joseph John Perez said 134 of these structures were used on the first day of classes in the towns of Barcelona, Bulan, Bulusan, Casiguran, Castilla, Donsol, Gubat, Irosin, Magallanes, Matnog, Pilar, Prieto Diaz and Santa Magdalena. These towns were badly hit by Typhoon “Nona” in 2015. At least 1.6 million students were expected to attend elementary and secondary schools in the six provinces in the region, the DepEd said. The figure was 9.38 percent higher than the 1.5 million students enrolled last year due to the first batch of students entering Grade 11. In Baguio City, public schools took in 946 senior high students on Monday. The rest of the 6,100 Grade 11 students enrolled in senior high school programs offered by private schools. Adjustments Education Undersecretary Alberto Muyot said universities and colleges have developed their own senior high school programs, hoping to encourage senior high school graduates to pursue college in their schools. Muyot also said problems continued to hound the senior high school opening but said the DepEd had made adjustments to address delays in the construction of classrooms and buildings and the late deployment of teachers. Only two senior high school buildings have been completed in time to receive Baguio’s first batch of senior high school students. But only San Vicente National High School is ready to serve them. Baguio needs 38 teachers for the senior high school program but only 24 were hired in June to serve the teaching load for the first semester. With reports from Leo Udtohan, Nestor P.

11 ‘Daluyong bagyo,’ ‘hagunot’ in ‘weder forkast’ A STORM surge warning to coastal communities may come out as babala sa daluyong bagyo, while a gale warning to fishing boats may come out as babala sa hanging hagunot. And the next advisory from the state weather bureau may come out as weder forkast. Say again? Many words in the new official translation of weather terms issued by a government language body has even weathermen themselves shaking their heads while trying out the unfamiliar terms. After more than a year’s work, the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) on Monday launched its 73-page “Patnubay sa Weder Forkasting” for use by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), media, disaster agencies and schools. The illustrated book contains weather terms in English, Filipino and major Philippine languages with their translation and explanation. It also has sample forecasts and storm warnings, explanation of weather events, and even Philippine mythological tales, proverbs and riddles related to weather. Some terms in English are retained, such as cold front, equinox and low pressure area; many are translated to Filipino, such as altitud for altitude, bubog-ulan for hail and taog (for high tide). Then there are original Filipino terms introduced—daluyong for giant waves, halumigmig (for humidity), hanging haginit for fresh wind. “We ask that from this day, weather forecasting be done in Filipino using the terms contained in the book. This way, we educate ordinary citizens and the government will no longer have a hard time calling for an evacuation in case of disaster,” KWF Director General Roberto Añonuevo said in Filipino. Fear of confusion “We urge TV and radio networks, the media to use the terms in this book because if we do not use them, the words will die,” he went on. But Pagasa officials admitted adopting some of the new terminologies would not happen quickly. “We are going to study what is acceptable to the public because it might cause confusion,” said acting Pagasa Administrator Vicente Malano, who asked the KWF officials why they chose to translate altitude into altitud. “With so many dialects that we have, don’t we have our own word, a Filipino word?” Malano asked. Añonuevo said the word altitude had no equivalent as a technical term, although there were Filipino words related in meaning. He said there were 27 words in Philippine languages for rain and 14 words for sun, while there are two Philippine proverbs about cyclone (bagyo), eight about wind (hangin) and five about flood (baha). Malano is uncomfortable using weder forkasting. “Why don’t we just adopt the English term weather forecast?” he asked. Admitting they are introducing the use of weder forkasting, Añonuevo said Pagasa chose to adopt the English term but spelled it according to local phonetics to broaden Philippine vocabulary. Reality of the sound According to KWF Commissioner Purificacion Delima, the word weder is recognizable since it is how it is usually pronounced by Filipinos, as there is no th-sound in Philippine languages. “Our realidad is the d-sound. So if a child hears or sees the word weder, he will recognize it,” she insisted. The weather division chief, Esperanza Cayanan, admitted weathermen were confused by the translated terms. “At the start we were arguing over the terminologies since we want to make sure we are understood (by the public). Because we ourselves do not understand some of the terms that are here,” she said. “At first we were not comfortable, because we are supposed to teach the public since we announce the forecast. Instead of a short (forecast), it may be long just to explain what is (hanging) hagunot,” Cayanan added. A matter of patriotism Añonuevo said those in Metro Manila may not be familiar with humahagunot na hangin or daluyong, but said these were words used in the provinces. He said the word daluyong was found in a vocabulary book in the 1860s used to describe giant waves whipped up by a storm. Pagasa drew flak for using the term storm surge without clarifying its meaning when Supertyphoon “Yolanda” (international name: Haiyan) hit the country in November 2013. “It’s already in the consciousness of the people. We just have to dig them up, restore them. Maybe they’re not used much anymore because we have been used to English. But in the provinces, you hear that,” Añonuevo said. Cayanan said Pagasa would have to hold workshops among themselves and with the media first to get used to the new terms, but she admitted the KWF guide would promote Philippine culture while helping make forecasts better understood.

12 Cayetano: Cabinet post for Marcos ‘speculation’ DAVAO CITY—Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano on Sunday said talk of a possible Cabinet post for Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. a year from now was “all speculation.” Cayetano, President-elect Rodrigo Duterte’s defeated running mate, said talking about possible appointments by the next chief executive next year was “not relevant,” as a lot of things could happen before the one-year ban on appointments of defeated candidates expires. “I haven’t heard that there was a formal offer. It was all speculation,”‘ Cayetano told the media in an interview here. Marcos, the son and namesake of the late dictator, said the possibility of working in the incoming administration was one of the things he and Duterte discussed during a four-hour meeting at a restaurant-bar here Friday. Marcos said the details had yet to be ironed out. For its part, the camp of Vice President-elect Leni Robredo said Marcos had practically admitted he lost the election when he discussed the prospect of a Cabinet post with Duterte. It will mean “political suicide” for him to accept a Cabinet post while his electoral protest is pending, according to election lawyer and Robredo’s lead counsel Romulo Macalintal. ‘Concentrate on protest’ “If Marcos believes he has strong evidence to prove that he was cheated in the election, then he should concentrate on his election protest and not seek a position lower than the vice presidency,” Macalintal said. On Saturday, Marcos announced his plan to file an electoral protest against Robredo, a Liberal Party member, and accused the Aquino administration of “institutional” cheating. Marcos said he believed some three million votes were shaved off his final tally. He lost to Robredo by some 260,000 votes. Asked if he thought Marcos deserved to be one of Duterte’s “best and brightest” Cabinet members, Cayetano said it did not matter what he thought, as it was the President-elect’s prerogative to appoint anyone he deems qualified. “So let’s just focus on June 30, when he takes over. Within six months, you will feel safe in the streets, safe at home,” he said. Meanwhile, the Marcos camp on Monday maintained that Robredo was just warming the vice presidential seat for the senator. In a statement, Abakada party-list Rep. and Marcos campaign adviser Jonathan de la Cruz took exception to Macalintal’s statement that the protesting candidate was admitting his defeat in accepting a Cabinet position. “Such statement smacks of desperation coming on the heels of the Liberal Party’s non-filing of a SOCE (statement of contribution and expenditures),” De la Cruz said.

13 Appeals court overturns 2014 Ombudsman dismissal of Cito Lorenzo THE COURT of Appeals has reversed the 2014 decision of the Office of the Ombudsman that dismissed former Agriculture Secretary Luis “Cito” Lorenzo Jr. and four others over administrative liabilities stemming from a bidding anomaly at a government financing agency for farmers. The appellate court’s 15th Division, in a decision dated May 31, dismissed the Ombudsman’s decision finding Lorenzo and four other Quedan and Rural Credit Guarantee Corp. (Quedancor) officials guilty of grave misconduct and penalizing them with dismissal, fines and perpetual disqualification from public office. “For lack of jurisdiction and there being no substantial evidence, the administrative charges filed against petitioner [Lorenzo] are hereby dismissed,” the court said in the 14-page decision written by Justice Jhosep Lopez and concurred in by division members Ramon Garcia and Leoncia Dimagiba. The case stemmed from Quedancor Swine Program, a credit system set up in 2004 to support swine raisers in their hog fattening and breeding activities. Under the program, a farmer-borrower could apply for a loan with Quedancor, the proceeds of which were not given in cash but in the form of input supplies like hogs, gilts, feeds, medicines and technical assistance, which were to be claimed through a purchase order issued by a Quedancor district office and presented to an accredited input supplier. The Ombudsman found that Lorenzo and the other board members failed to comply by approving consolidate guidelines in April 2014 that violated competitive public bidding regulations for the accreditation of suppliers. Lorenzo, in his petition, said he merely noted the Quedancor guidelines in April 2004, adding that the program went into full force the following month but he left office in August 2004. He said there was no violation of the procurement law.

14 Asean, China in crucial meet FOREIGN ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and China are holding a two-day emergency meeting in Kunming, the capital and largest city in Yunnan province, to enforce the code of conduct and reduce the level of tensions in the disputed waters of South China Sea that raised concerns in the international community. Foreign Secretary Jose Almendras flew to Kunming, China, for the two-day Special Asean-China Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on June 13 and 14. In a press briefing today, Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Charles Jose said Asean members called for the meeting with China to resolve the growing tensions in the disputed islands in the South China Sea. “Asean members are really concerned about the developments (in the South China Sea). There is an erosion in trust and confidence so we need to work to address this issue,” Jose said. In a statement on Monday, Almendras reiterated the government’s commitment to work within the Asean-China process to pursue the full and effective implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. He said the meeting would press for the early conclusion of the code of conduct in the South China Sea. “Within this framework, the Philippines continues to advocate for the exercise of self-restraint necessary to reduce the level of tensions, and calls on parties to take actions which enhance peace and stability,” said Almendras in a statement. Almendras said the Philippines “upholds Asean centrality on regional issues” but its track of filing an arbitration is consistent with the Declaration of Code (DOC) signed by the Asean and China. “The Philippine foreign policy on the South China Sea is guided by its commitment to a principled foreign policy and on its firm belief in the rule of law,” said Almendras. He said arbitration was among the legal and diplomatic processes promoting the rule of law in the region, and was fully consistent with the DOC and the region’s efforts to peacefully manage and resolve the disputes in accordance with the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

15 Turkey’s Tourism Plummets amid Bombings and Crisis with Russia ISTANBUL -- A series of political bombings in major cities and a diplomatic crisis with Russia have wreaked havoc on Turkey’s tourism industry, triggering the sharpest slump since 1999. “Not only is the country facing terrorist attacks, it also suffers from political turmoil, challenges from bordering the Syrian war and a political dispute with Russia,” said a representative from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) in an e- mail to The Media Line. “While our sector normally is very resilient, the combination of the different factors in the country have led to a significant drop in international visitors.” Foreign visitors to Turkey fell by 28 per cent in April compared to the year before, according to the Tourism Ministry, which is problematic because tourism contributes significantly to Turkey’s economy, and the high season has started. “Turkey has a deficit. One of the important sources to fill that as much as possible is tourism,” Selim Koru, a researcher at The Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV), told The Media Line. Istanbul’s hotel occupancy rates are the lowest in a decade according to the Hotel Association of Turkey. Murat Ersoy, the head of the Tourism Investors Association, warned at a press conference on June 1 that tourism revenue losses could reach $15 billion this year. A diplomatic crisis with Russia was sparked last November when Turkey shot down a Russian jet it said had violated its airspace near the border with Syria. Moscow responded by stopping Russian tour operators from going to Turkey. In the major Mediterranean resort town Antalya, the number of normally ubiquitous Russian tourists has plunged by 96 per cent, with only 21,000 visiting from January to May. The number of Russian tourists, the second highest after Germany and usually representing one tenth of Turkey’s total, declined by 79 per cent in April compared to the previous year. German tourists also dropped by 35 per cent and British by 24 per cent. Terror attacks have also scared away many tourists. The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) set off a car bomb on June 7 that killed six police officers and five civilians in Istanbul’s touristic Vezneciler neighborhood near an historic mosque and Istanbul University. Following the attack TAK released a statement saying, "Foreigners are not our target but Turkey is no longer a safe country for them. We have just started the war. " The next day, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) set off a car bomb that killed three police officers, one of them pregnant, and three civilians, in the southeastern town of Midyat, also a tourist attraction. Suicide bombers linked to the Islamic State have killed several tourists in Istanbul in recent months, including 12 Germans and one Peruvian in January, and three Israelis (two of them with American citizenship) and one Iranian in March. Fighters linked to the PKK and ISIS have killed nearly 100 people in bombings in major cities in Turkey so far this year. Koru says most tourists don’t understand the complexities of political violence in Turkey, but it’s enough to keep them away. “It doesn’t really matter to the tourists who does the bombing. If there are bombs going off, they’re uncomfortable.” As for Turks themselves, Koru says they tend to stay home on evenings and weekends for a week or two after each attack. He says Turks aren’t used to large bombings in major urban centers, and have less experience with this sort of violence than some neighboring countries. “In Turkey, people have a lower tolerance towards this sort of thing,” he says. “In some ways we’re in untested waters.” The PKK and the Turkish state have been fighting each other since 1984 in a conflict that has killed more than 40,000. Last July, the PKK broke a 2 ½ year old ceasefire, and since then the state has waged a military campaign in the southeast portion of the country that Amnesty International has called “collective punishment.” TAK emerged in 2004 as a smaller, more radical splinter group from the PKK, pledging to target civilians in the west of Turkey and unwilling to negotiate with the government. Though there’s no solid evidence of concrete links between the two groups, Koru says there’s good reason to believe they exist. “Nobody I’ve talked to knows exactly the way the PKK-TAK relationship works, but we know that the PKK doesn’t allow independent groups to exist within its own political sphere. There are no alternative groups to the PKK. And it’s very clear that PKK militants go over to TAK,” he says. Koru says Turkey is full of soft targets, and the PKK attacks targets in the west because it wants to show its supporters it can hit Turkey wherever it wants. “[The PKK] wants to be seen as powerful, because if it’s seen as powerful, people will support it,” he says. The WTTC told The Media Line that the Turkish government is trying to alleviate losses to the tourism sector. “In May, the Turkish government launched a ‘2016 Tourism Action Plan’ to help boost the country’s tourism. The Plan allows the delay of the sector’s debt payment, provides a grant-in-aid within action package and also offers subsidies per flight for tourism agencies.” According to the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies, Turkish firms are focusing on drawing high-income tourists from the United States and Latin America, and hope to receive more tourists from Iran thanks to the lifting of sanctions. Their numbers also indicate that Israeli tourists increased to 225,000 in 2015, compared to 110,000 in 2010, possibly due to recently improved ties between Turkey and Israel.

16 Kayleigh Haywood: Cries of 'mummy' heard on night of murder Witnesses have told a court they heard a "frightened girl screaming mummy" on the night a 15-year-old schoolgirl was raped and murdered. Kayleigh Haywood, from Leicestershire, was found dead in undergrowth near Ibstock in November. Stephen Beadman, 29, of Ibstock, has admitted raping and murdering Kayleigh but denies false imprisonment. Luke Harlow, 27, of Ibstock, has admitted two counts of sexual grooming but also denies false imprisonment. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire Neighbours Beadman and Harlow, both of George Avenue, are alleged to have held Kayleigh against her will at Harlow's home between about 21:00 BST on Saturday 14 November and 03:00 on Sunday 15 November. Witnesses Samuel Green and Amy Dearden, who live together near Ibstock's Sence Valley Forest Park, told the court they heard a loud scream in the early hours of 15 November. Mr Green said he had gone to bed just before midnight. "I was lying there. I can't be 100% sure how long I lay there and then all of a sudden I heard a loud scream, someone screaming 'mummy'," Mr Green said. "It sounded like a female to me, and if I'm honest, whoever it was sounded frightened. " Ms Dearden said the scream of "mummy" sounded so close, she thought someone was in her garden. "It sounded like a young child. Sam opened the window and shouted but nobody replied," she said. The court also heard a man with a bloodied face was seen near to where Kayleigh's body was found. In a police interview played to Nottingham Crown Court, Harlow claimed Kayleigh had drunk a bottle of wine after being dropped off by her dad at Ibstock leisure centre the previous Friday because she was "nervous" about meeting him. Harlow said Kayleigh had drunk "a considerable amount of vodka" in his flat while he and Beadman had gone to the shops to get more alcohol. On Sunday morning, Harlow said he woke up feeling "quite groggy" and did not know where Kayleigh was, although her shoes were still in his flat. He then went to see Beadman. "He [Beadman] had scratches all over his face which he didn't have on Friday night," Harlow said. "He said he had got them at work, he is a landscape gardener. I didn't think anything of it at the time. "I asked Stephen Beadman if he had seen her leave he said no. " Agreed statements read to the jury by the prosecution confirmed that blood attributable to both Kayleigh and Beadman was found on the thigh of his jeans. A post-mortem examination conducted on Kayleigh's body identified extensive blunt force injuries to her neck and head, as well as underlying fracturing of facial bones. The jury heard the pathologist was unable to determine how many "impacts" had been inflicted on Kayleigh but her injuries could not be have been caused by a single blow. Medical evidence relating to injuries found on Beadman was also put before the court. Jurors heard that Beadman informed a medic shortly after his arrest that he had not been able to form relationships with women and had been having "dark thoughts" for about two years. The trial continues. 2016-06-14 00:48 BBC News www.bbc.co.uk

17 Euro 2016: FA has "serious concerns" over Lille security The FA has "serious concerns" about security in Lille, where England fans and Russian supporters are set to gather for this week's Euro 2016 matches, chairman Greg Dyke has said. England fans are due to be in Lille ahead of Thursday's match against Wales in nearby Lens, while Russia play Slovakia in the city on Wednesday. Prosecutors say 150 Russian hooligans were behind the violence in Marseille. Six England fans were jailed after Russia played England on Saturday. Five England fans have been jailed for throwing bottles at police and a sixth jailed in connection with the violence which broke out over three days in the city. Two Russians have been arrested, both for a pitch invasion. Both teams face expulsion by Uefa, the organisers of Euro 2016, if there is any further violence. "We understand there is to be an alcohol ban across the host cities and we would welcome this, particularly in Lille on Wednesday where many English fans have been asked to gather ahead of Thursday's match against Wales in Lens," Mr Dyke wrote in a letter to Uefa. "We have, following consultation with the authorities, advised our supporters without tickets for the match in Lens to congregate there, and whilst we will be working hard to positively influence their behaviour we have serious concerns around the security arrangements for the city in the next few days. "These concerns are heightened with the knowledge that Russia will play in Lille on Wednesday afternoon. " Mr Dyke also rejected the suggestion that England fans were at fault for scenes inside the Stade Velodrome following the match with Russia. He said the stewarding in the stadium was "unacceptable". "A minority of English fans were clearly involved in some of those incidents and that is extremely disappointing to us all, but please also recognise that tens of thousands have behaved in a positive way," he wrote. Meanwhile, England manager Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney appealed directly to fans to "behave themselves". And Wales fans without tickets for Thursday's Euro 2016 match against England have been urged not to travel to host city Lens or nearby Lille .

18 Euro 2016 violence: Who is to blame for the violence? The opening days of Euro 2016 have been marred by ugly scenes of violence, both on the streets and in Marseille's stadium. Who is to blame for the trouble - and can it be stopped? England, Russia and France supporters have been involved in the most serious incidents - although of course they are only a tiny number of thousands of peaceful fans at Euro 2016. Confusing and sometimes conflicting reports mean blame is difficult to definitively apportion. Accounts suggest the initial confrontations started when England fans reacted to unprovoked attacks by groups of local youths, which were exacerbated by alcohol. French police then stepped in and deployed tear gas. Some fans complained that the "heavy-handed" police approach escalated the situation. But the behaviour of England fans has been criticised too. Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham said they had been "let down by a minority" who may have been provoked but were "not blameless" over the first two nights' violence, which saw fist-fights and bottles thrown. Blame for the incident at the end of the match between England and Russia - in which a group appeared to rush at English supporters - has been squarely placed on a number of Russian supporters . According to French prosecutors, 150 Russians "well prepared for ultra- rapid, ultra-violent action" were involved. There are claims "ultras" - hardened hooligans - from both Russia and France went to the tournament intent on targeting England fans. Among those arrested so far are Britons, French, Russians and an Austrian. In a much smaller incident in Nice, about a dozen Northern Ireland supporters retaliated to what police said was an unprovoked attack by French hooligans. About 35 people have been injured in the disorder - four seriously - and 20 people arrested. The stadium attacks were planned and perpetrated by "well-trained" Russians hooligans, according to Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin. Witnesses at the game described seeing men who had "come prepared" for trouble with gum shields and gloves used for martial arts. Some British newspapers have reported that Russian "firms" issued threats to England fans well before the tournament. Russian sports journalist Ivan Kalashnikov says many Russian fans "still live under the impression that hooliganism is still a big thing in Europe and in England". "They wanted to make an impression. It's for the Russian authorities to speak to them and make them understand there is no hooligan competition going on. There were known leaders [among the 150 stadium attackers], even though the Russian authorities banned some known hooligans from travelling. " Meanwhile, violence by England fans has largely been attributed to drunken aggressiveness rather than organised hooliganism. British police issued about 1,400 banning orders against known hooligans from England, Wales and Northern Ireland to prevent them from travelling to the tournament, and British police hooligan "spotters" have been deployed in France. Punishment has been swiftly meted out by the French authorities. Six England fans have been jailed - and banned from France for two years - for their part in the violence. Two Russian nationals have been expelled from the country. Other fans implicated in the disorder are expected to be dealt with in the coming days. The governing body of football in Europe Uefa has promised to strengthen security and fan segregation inside Marseille stadium following Saturday's incident, and threatened teams with disqualification if their fans continue to be disorderly - prompting an appeal for calm from England manager Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney. Uefa has also announced charges against Russia for the Marseille stadium incident for crowd disorder, racist behaviour and setting off fireworks. Sanctions will be decided on Tuesday, but could potentially include a fine. Russia has previously been punished for its fans' behaviour. Its football union was fined a total of £150,000 and given a suspended six-point deduction from its qualifying campaign for Euro 2016 for incidents at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. This was reduced on appeal. The French police Along with making arrests, French police reacted to some of the more serious disorder by using tear gas and water cannon. Some fans have complained they were heavy handed and they have also been criticised over their policing strategy. Dr Geoff Pearson, an expert in football policing from University of Manchester who was in Marseille, said police "managed to lose control of Marseille for nearly 24 hours". "They were operationally inept, their strategy was horrendous, it was completely wrong for the event and the complexity of the event they were dealing with," he said. The UK and French governments The French government has urged host cities to ban alcohol near venues. There will be a 24-hour drinking ban in Lens before the England game. And the UK government has offered to send police, including "spotters" to sit in the crowd at the next match, to support the security operation, and said British officers would be assisting the French with their post-incident investigations. It has also enhanced its Border Force presence at outbound ports. Fans of all nationalities have described feeling both saddened by what has happened, and afraid for their safety. Alberto, from Italy, told BBC Newsbeat the trouble in Marseille was horrible, adding: "I feel scared being here now, I was scared to come here to Nice because we're close to Marseille. " Others have complained about "slack" security. Artur, from Poland, said: "Security is very, very poor. " "We're going to Marseille in less than two weeks for Poland against Ukraine and to be honest I'm a little bit afraid," he says. "We are afraid of the organisation at this tournament because look at Saturday, there was no segregation between the Russian and English fans. An estimated 350,000 to 500,000 supporters from the UK are expected to travel to France for matches throughout the course of the tournament, according to police. But not all spectators will have tickets - there were about 250,000 tickets sold to UK residents from 1.6m applications. There are some concerns that Lille may present another flashpoint for violence, as Russia and England fans may once again be in close proximity. Russia's next match against Slovakia will take place in Lille on Wednesday - the day before England's match against Wales, just 24 miles away in Lens. England fans had been advised to stay in Lille because Lens is a small city. Northern Ireland play Ukraine in Lyon on Thursday. A full match schedule can be found here. The Foreign Office has issued safety advice for those travelling to matches in France - it warns fans to drink responsibly, or face being barred from venues or fan zones. Neither the British police nor the UK government say it is unsafe to go, but UK fans have been warned that French police will not tolerate drunken or anti-social behaviour. "Troublemakers will be dealt with by French police in line with their laws and can expect a banning order on return to the UK," said Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for football policing. British police plan to act as "cultural interpreters" to prevent heavy-handed tactics against drunk and rowdy fans who may not cause serious trouble.

21 UK leaving Europe is bad for science People in Britain will soon vote on whether or not to stay in or leave the European Union (EU). Newspapers have called it 'Brexit', which means Britain's, or British, exit. It is one of the biggest issues for Europe in decades. British people have very strong feelings about leaving and staying in the EU. A group of scientists has come together in support of staying in Europe. All of the 13 scientists are Nobel Prize winners. The group says leaving the EU would be a "key risk" to British science. A spokesman explained how important it was for science that Britain remained in Europe. He said: "Inside the EU, Britain helps steer the biggest scientific powerhouse in the world. " Another top British scientist, Professor Stephen Hawking, said Brexit would be, "a disaster for UK science". Many other scientists agree, saying Britain would receive less money from the EU for research. They add that British scientists could no longer work as often or as closely with colleagues in European countries. Professor Hawking said many young European scientists come to Britain to work. He said this could slow down after a Brexit. However, many other scientists say Brexit would be better for British science. The campaign group Scientists For Britain says that the UK would not suffer financially from Brexit. It says the top two countries funded by an 80-billion-euro EU science programme are not EU members.

22 Trump urges ban on immigration from countries with 'history of terrorism' Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday he would suspend immigration to the United States from countries "where there is a proven history of terrorism" against the West, his strongest reaction yet to the Orlando nightclub massacre. Trump's speech in Manchester, New Hampshire, was in response to the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history. 49 people were killed and 53 were wounded at the gay nightclub early on Sunday before gunman Omar Mateen was killed by police. Trump said that, if elected on Nov. 8, he would use the executive authority of the presidency to impose stronger controls on immigration, one of the main themes of his campaign. "I would use this power to protect the American people. When I'm elected, I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats," the 69-year-old businessman said. He noted that the parents of the gunman, Omar Mateen, 29, were born in Afghanistan. Mateen, who was born in the United States, pledged loyalty to the Islamic State militant jihadist group. Pointing to specific incidents such as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Trump also said threats were posed by people with roots in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. He stressed that his proposed ban would be temporary and would last until "when as a nation we are in a position to properly screen these people coming into our country. They're pouring in, and we don't know what we're doing. " In her response to the massacre, the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, warned against demonizing Muslim Americans. Goaded by Trump, Clinton, 68, referred to Islamic State militants as "radical jihadist" after repeatedly refusing to go along with Republicans' description of the threat as "radical Islamic terrorism. " "The Orlando terrorist may be dead, but the virus that poisoned his mind remains very strong, and we must attack it," she said in a speech in Cleveland. In proposals for dealing with threats of violence at home and abroad, the former US secretary of state called for increased efforts to remove Islamic State propaganda from the internet, more air strikes in areas held by the group and better coordination with allies in the region. She specifically called out three US allies - Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait - for allowing its citizens to fund mosques and schools that train jihadists. Clinton also proposed stricter gun control laws, reiterating previous calls to prohibit people on terrorism watch lists from buying firearms. She pointed out that while the Federal Bureau of Investigation was aware of Mateen as a possible threat, he was still able to purchase a gun legally. Clinton has called for a complete ban on assault-style guns. "It's important that we stop the terrorists from getting the tools they need to carry out the attacks, and that is especially true when it comes to assault weapons like those used in Orlando and San Bernardino," California, Clinton said, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. Clinton called on Americans to come together like they did after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. She pointed out that, at the time, she was a Democratic US senator representing New York, while the U. S. president, New York governor and New York City mayor were all Republicans. "Americans from all walks of life rallied together with a sense of common purpose on Sept 12. ... We had each others' backs. We did not attack each other, we worked with each other to protect our country and rebuild our city," Clinton said. Trump challenged Clinton to explain why she favored letting Syrian civil war refugees into the United States. He said his policies would better protect American women, gays and lesbians, Jews and Christians. Trump's support among women and gay voters lags far behind that of Clinton. "Radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American," said Trump. "I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, and Jewish people are the targets of persecution and intimidation by radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence. " "The bottom line is that Hillary supports the policies that bring the threat of radical Islam into America, and allow it to grow overseas," Trump said. Trump also lashed out at President Barack Obama by questioning his motives for refusing to use the term "radical Islamic terrorism" in describing such attacks. He argued that both the president and Clinton were unfit to lead the nation, and said he would expand US intelligence capabilities. White House spokesman Josh Earnest refused to address Trump's comments directly at a daily news briefing, characterizing Trump's remarks as "small" in the aftermath of the massacre, and as such, neither he nor Obama would focus on them.

23 Udta Punjab: India court overrules censor cuts to film A controversial film depicting drug abuse in India's Punjab state will be released on Friday with just one cut, the Bombay High Court has ruled. Dismissing objections by the censor board which had wanted 89 cuts, the court said the film must be certified for release in the next 48 hours. Judges ordered one scene showing a character urinating to be removed, and a disclaimer to be changed. The producers of the film described the ruling as a victory for democracy. They had gone to court, saying the demands by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) set a dangerous precedent. The film board had said they thought the movie portrayed Punjab in a bad light. The proposed cuts included removing every mention of the word "Punjab" from the film, deleting swear words and also a number of other words such as "parliament", "legislators" and "elections". The censors had also said that the film questioned the sovereignty of India, but the court rejected the argument. "We have read the script in its entirety to see if the film encourages drugs. We do not find that the film questions the sovereignty or integrity of India by mentioning the names of cities, or referring to a state or by a signpost," the judge said. The court observed that the board's job was to certify and not censor. The film's director, Abhishek Chaubey, told reporters outside the courtroom that he had accepted the order to delete a scene showing the lead character urinating into a crowd while under the influence of drugs. He said he would also add a disclaimer specifying that the film was not against any specific state, and did not support drug abuse or the use of swear words. Last week the court told defence lawyers the film industry was "not made of glass" to be handled with care and added that there was no need for excessive censorship as the public was the "biggest censor". The board has the option of appealing against the verdict in the Supreme Court. Ahead of the ruling, censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani had given ground, telling reporters on Sunday the film could be released with 13 cuts. The film board has recently come in for criticism for its controversial decisions to remove scenes in several films, including some Hollywood movies, before they were allowed to be screened in cinemas.

24 UN urges Libya to probe murder of ex- detainees The UN envoy to Libya has called for an investigation into the murders of 12 men soon after their release from jail in the capital Tripoli last week. They had been accused of taking part in the killings and torture of anti-government protesters in 2011, under then-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi. The bodies of the 12 men were found in various parts of Tripoli last Friday, a day after their release. All had been beaten and shot in the chest and head, their families say. On Monday Martin Kobler, Special Representative of the UN Support Mission in Libya said he was "utterly shocked" by this "vile crime". He called for the killings to "be thoroughly and independently investigated". "I urge the relevant Libyan authorities to establish a joint national - international investigation and I will follow developments closely," Mr Kobler added. BBC North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad says that those killed had been granted conditional release. The exact circumstances of the killings are unclear. Officials say the men left al-Baraka prison with their families on Thursday but this could not be independently verified. Most prisons in Libya are controlled by a combined force of militia groups and the judicial police. Libya still has rival regional administrations and armed forces in the east and west of the country, with each battling extremist militants in their territories. The internationally-backed unity government in Tripoli has condemned the killings. It is also carrying out a big offensive against so-called Islamic State in the port city of Sirte. In a statement, the rival government based in eastern Libya accused the prison authorities of carrying out the executions and dumping their bodies. They described them as "outlawed groups that control the jail". There are hundreds on inmates in al-Baraka, many of whom are accused of being Gaddafi loyalists imprisoned after he was overthrown in 2011. Last year inmates complained that prison guards regularly beat them and administered electric shocks, Human Rights Watch reported. Thousands of people including children are arbitrarily detained in Libya, the UN says.

25 Orlando shootings: 'No clear evidence' of IS link There is no clear evidence that the Orlando gunman was directed by the so- called Islamic State group (IS), US President Barack Obama has said. But the inquiry into the attack on the Pulse gay night club, in which 49 people were killed, is being treated as a terrorist investigation, he added. The FBI's director said the gunman was radicalised through the internet. Meanwhile Donald Trump said he would suspend immigration from certain areas of the world to the US. The presumptive Republican presidential candidate also renewed his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country. The US authorities say gunman Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to IS shortly before the attack in Florida. However, the extent of any links to IS remains unclear. Speaking in Washington, Mr Obama said: "It does appear that at the last minute he [gunman Omar Mateen] announced allegiance to Isil [IS]. "But there is no evidence so far that he was in fact directed. "This is certainly an example of the kind of home-grown extremism that all of us have been concerned about for a very long time. " How attacks unfolded Who was Omar Mateen? Police deny false claims of 'multiple gunmen' Orlando shooting: Special report The deadliest mass shooting in recent US history ended when police shot Mateen dead. The attack also left 53 people injured. Orlando Regional Medical Centre said on Monday that a number of the victims being treated there remained critically ill, and five patients were in a grave condition. Responding to the Orlando shootings, Mr Trump reiterated his proposal to ban foreign Muslims from entering the US. "We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country, many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer. " Mr Trump said: "When I'm elected I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies. " He also spoke out against any move to increase gun controls, saying he would be "always defending" the Second Amendment which protects "the right of the people to keep and bear arms". Meanwhile presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton promised to make stopping "lone wolf" attacks a top priority. Mrs Clinton called for action to stop militants getting hold of assault rifles, saying weapons of war had no place on America's streets. FBI Director James Comey told reporters in Washington that there were "strong indications of radicalisation and of potential inspiration by foreign terrorist organisations". "We're highly confident this killer was radicalised at least in some part through the internet," he said. In phone calls to the authorities from the nightclub, Mateen said he was carrying out the attack for IS but he also pledged allegiance to a suicide bomber for the al-Nusra Front group in Syria, and to the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing, none of whom is linked to IS. "We see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network," Mr Comey said. Investigators are going through the killer's life, and especially his electronic devices, to try to understand his motivation, Mr Comey said. The FBI director declined to use the gunman's name , as "part of what motivates sick people to do this kind of thing" was a desire for fame, he said. "We are also working to understand what role anti-gay bigotry played in this attack," Mr Comey said. Mr Comey detailed his organisation's prior contact with Mateen, and defended the FBI's investigations into him. "I don't see anything in reviewing our work that our agents should have done differently," Mr Comey said, while promising transparency over the issue. The owner of a gun shop where Mateen recently bought two guns said he had passed a full background check when purchasing the weapons. "If he hadn't purchased them from us I'm sure he would have gotten them from another local gun store," Edward Henson from the St Lucie Shooting Center told reporters. Mateen began shooting inside the club around 02:00 (06:00 GMT) on Sunday, when the club was holding a Latin night and was packed with revellers. An off-duty police officer working at the club fought Mateen in a gun battle before police reinforcements arrived. Forced to retreat into a toilet, Mateen took hostages, Orlando police chief John Mina said. Another 15 or so people were in another toilet, across the hallway, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said. Believing Mateen would kill again imminently, police used explosives and an armoured vehicle to break through a wall of the building and survivors began streaming through the hole they had created. Mateen himself followed them out shooting and was killed, police say. Cities around the world have been flying rainbow gay pride flags and illuminating buildings in solidarity with the victims of the shooting in Florida. Vigils for Orlando held across the UK The names of 48 of the 49 victims have now been released : 41 men and seven women. They include: The Pulse nightclub was holding its Latino night when the attack took place and many of the victims have Latino or Hispanic names.

26 Massacre of 11 people in Mexico linked to rapist's 'grudge' The funeral has taken place in Mexico of 11 people from the same family who were shot by masked gunmen in a remote village in the early hours of Friday. Police in the central state of Puebla initially said that they were looking into allegations that the violence was caused by religious intolerance. But prosecutors now say the motive was vengeance and two suspects have been identified and are being sought. The main suspect is a man who nine years ago raped a family member. He had threatened to go back and kill everyone in the Sanchez Hernandez family if they reported the crime. The family ignored his warnings and took the case to the police. The man fled but was eventually jailed and sentenced, returning now to carry out his revenge, state prosecutors said. Only one person was spared from last week's attack: the boy who was born from the sexual attack of nine years ago. His mother was shot dead. That led investigators to believe that the boy's father could be one of the killers. Two young girls and a woman who was eight months pregnant were among the victims. Two young girls were injured but survived the attack. The Sanchez Hernandez family were Evangelical Christians and lived in the remote village of San Jose El Mirador, which split 15 years ago from the predominantly Roman Catholic neighbouring community of El Potrero. But residents have told local media that the two communities respected each other. The two villages are part of the municipality of Coxcatlan. "We are scared that the criminals will come back and repeat the attack," a resident told El Universal newspaper. "We don't really know did this, where they came from, because it happened in the middle of the night and no one heard anything," a woman who lives outside El Mirador told El Milenio newspaper. Many have refused to go back to their homes in the rural areas of Coxcatlan, said Mayor Vicente Lopez de la Vega.

27 ANALYSIS: Defining the enemy Was the attack in Orlando a “mass shooting” or a “terrorist attack”? A day after 49 people were killed and dozens wounded, there is still no definitive answer. On Sunday, President Barack Obama called the slaughter “an act of terror and an act of hate,” but said that authorities had not yet reached “definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer.” That is strange. According to reports, Omar Mateen, the attacker, called 911 during the attack and pledged allegiance to Islamic State. After the attack, ISIS issued a statement claiming responsibility. All of this, however, is apparently not enough for Obama to utter the words: “Islamist terrorism.” That is a problem. How can the US effectively fight a threat that its president cannot define? How can the FBI and other American intelligence services know whom to hunt and track if the commander-in-chief refuses to describe who these people are? In America, this issue will unfortunately become entangled in the ongoing presidential elections. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is already declaring “I told you so,” and is expected to gain points due to the perception – right or wrong – that he would be tougher than Hillary Clinton when it comes to fighting terrorism. Clinton, however, has advocated for stronger gun control in the US, and could use the Orlando shooting as the opportunity to press that message. This would be a mistake. The attack that took place in Orlando needs to transcend politics. If it gets caught up in the battle between Left and Right, then an opportunity to correct what went wrong and to prevent future attacks will be missed. This is not the first time the US has faced this problem when it comes to defining violence. In 2013, for example, the US was in a state of panic after the Boston Marathon bombings. Boston, a major American metropolitan city, was placed in lockdown. What was striking, though, was that the bombing came less than half a year after the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, which killed 20 young pupils and six adults. So why the difference? The Boston attack, authorities explained at the time, was terrorism. The Newtown attack was gun violence. This distinction causes a distortion of reality. By dismissing an atrocious attack as “gun violence,” authorities are creating an excuse for why this does not need to be dealt with as terrorism. In simpler terms: if mass shootings are defined as terrorism, then Congress and the administration would have to enact serious measures to deal with potential attacks, even if it means that the gun lobby will not approve. Part of this change needs to happen in the way these acts of violence are defined. These definitions go beyond language, and could influence the direction of American foreign policy for years to come. But they need to be made if only for the simple reason that to win this war on terrorism, America needs to know who its enemies are.

31 UN warns Israel over its refusal to cooperate with human rights investigations The United Nations implied Monday that Israel could be in trouble over its continued refusal to allow human rights investigators to alleged violations of international law against Palestinians access to the West Bank and Gaza. “I very much regret the refusal by some countries to permit my staff to have access in order to monitor and report on events,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said. He spoke in Geneva at the opening session of the 32nd session of the UN Human Rights Council. As part of a sweeping address on global human rights issues, he spoke about the role of his office and the council in preventing human rights abuses, but noted that some governments were not cooperating with his office. He did not mention Israel by name. But the Jewish State has persistently denied UN special rapporteurs access to the West Bank and Gaza as part of their work in investigating Israeli against Palestinians. The refusal stems from Israel deep conviction that the investigations are biased and akin to a “kangaroo” court whose negative judgment against Israel is already proscribed. It has noted that the UNHRC mandates, under which the investigators are dispatched, look solely at Israeli violations and do not examine Palestinian ones. On Monday Zeid said, however, that the investigators from his office had an important role to play in providing factual information that could prevent further violence. “I must emphasize that non-cooperation by governments will not result in my office remaining silent,” he Zeid. “On the contrary, it creates a presumption of major violations, and may deprive local and national actors of the opportunity to explain and provide information about events,” Zeid said. “In updating this Council at the September session, I may list a number of countries where engagement with or access for my office is impeded,” he added. Israel had no immediate response to Zeid’s comments. But its representative is scheduled to address the UNHRC on Tuesday. Typically, issues relating to Israel at the UNHRC come up only during Agenda Item 7. The UNHRC is mandated to discuss possible Israeli human rights violations under this agenda item at every session. But recently the Israeli-Palestinian has also been the subject of opening addresses, including by Zeid on Monday. He warned of a possible escalation of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, both in the West Bank and Gaza, as he touched on conflicts throughout the world. “Tensions remain high across the occupied Palestinian Territory and in Israel, and the risk of a further sudden escalation in violence remains very real,” Zeid said. “The occupation of Palestinian territory by Israel entered its 50th year last week,” Zeid said, alluding to the 1967 Six Day War. He added that, “violence is among the many consequences of this prolonged oppression, including and inexcusably against civilians on both sides.” He deplored violence by both Palestinian and Israelis. Zeid said, however, that he was particularly concerned by instances of “excessive force” on the part of Israeli security forces in responding to Palestinian attacks in the West Bank and Israel that have so far claimed 38 lives. “I have reminded the Israeli government of its obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law on a number of occasions,” Zeid said. The High Commissioner of Human Rights also took issue with Israel’s policy of administration detention in which it holds Palestinian security prisoners without trial. “At the end of April, there were almost 700 Palestinian administrative detainees, more than double the figure at the end of September 2015, and the highest number since June 2008,” Zeid said. “Over 400 Palestinian children are currently detained in Israeli prisons, among them 13 who are in administrative detention – again, the highest figure since public records began in 2008,” he added. With respect to the Gaza, he warned that violence would break out between Palestinians and the IDF there, unless Israel lifts its restrictions on the flow of goods and people into the Strip. “Recent skirmishes along the [Gaza] border [with Israel] are a warning signal that another escalation of hostilities is a very real prospect unless there is real improvement for the people of Gaza,” Zeid said. “The situation in Gaza is untenable, with the continuing illegal blockade impeding reconstruction and basic services, and bleeding the people of hope.”

32 Danon elected chairman of UN Legal Committee NEW YORK – Israel’s representative at the United Nations, Danny Danon, was elected chairman of the UN Legal Committee on Monday, becoming the first Israeli named to the position since Israel joined the international body in 1949. The UN’s Legal Committee, also called the Sixth Committee, deals with all of the UN’s activities regarding international law, including the status of the additional protocols of the Geneva Conventions, and coordinates its fight against terrorism. “I am proud to be the first Israeli elected to this position,” Danon said. “Israel is a world leader in international law and in fighting terrorism. We are pleased to have the opportunity to share our knowledge with the countries of the world.” According to the Israeli mission at the UN, Danon’s election came after “a lengthy and difficult diplomatic battle,” as countries from the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ran a “coordinated campaign” attempting to block the initiative. The mission explained that “Iran, the current chair of the NAM group, circulated a draft of a letter to UN member- states filled with anti-Israel fabrications and calling to reject the Israeli candidacy.” But Danon said in a statement that Israel “will not allow dictatorships and anti-Israel countries to harm our standing in the international community. Those who tried to block our appointment would be well advised to take note of the jurisdiction of this committee, as they have much to learn about international law. We are a full member of the UN, and any attempt to deny us of our legal rights in this organization will be met with uncompromising rejection.” One of Danon’s first tasks in his new position will be to further the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism.

33 Champions Trophy: India lose 1-2 to Belgium London: Indian goalkeeper P. R. Sreejesh put up a disappointing performance as they lost to Belgium 1-2 in a round-robin game of the Hockey Champions Trophy Belgium at the Lee Valley Hockey Centre here on Monday. Belgian players -- Alexander Hendrickx (25th minute) and Jerome Truyens (44th minute) -- both scored through captain Sreejesh's legs. Devindar Walmiki scored the lone Indian goal in the 30th minute. With this loss, India dropped to the third spot in the points table with four points from three games. Britain, who earlier in the day thumped South Korea 4-1, also have four points but are ahead on goal difference. Belgium rose to the fifth spot with the win, while South Korea (three points) and Germany (two points) are fifth and sixth respectively. India will face South Korea on Tuesday. In other matches, Australia meet Belgium, while Germany will be up against the hosts. At the start of the match between India and Belgium, the latter looked menacing from the push-back and in the first quarter they got a penalty corner but the Indian defence managed to keep it away. The European outfit continued to push ahead the Indian failed to muster up serious attacks initially. Meanwhile, midfielder Simon Gougnard put himself in a strong position to tap in a pass from Thomas Briels but he fired over, much to the relief of the Indian camp. Later in the second half, a soft push from saw goalkeeper P. R. Sreejesh going forward but missed the ball before Kothajit Singh came to India's rescue with a fine save near the goal-line. Belgium got another penalty corner in the 19th minute but Sreejesh did well to stop the flick from Hendrickx. However, Belgium scored in their fourth penalty corner in the 25th minute as Hendrickx's hit went through the legs of Sreejesh in a big error from the Indian custodian. India equalised five minutes later when Devindar swept home after a half- hearted clearance from goalkeeper Vincent Vanasch fell in front of the Indian midfielder, who launched a powerful shot to the right side of the roof. After the break, the first minutes saw India earning two penalty corners but V. R. Raghunath's hits were not up to mark. While the first one was slow and got cleared at the goal-line by Florent van Aubel, the second one was palmed away by goalkeeper Vanasch. Belgium also got a penalty corner but India denied them with the first runner. Both the teams tried hard to take the lead and it was the Belgians who regained the lead in the 44th minute in another mistake from Sreejesh. Gougnard's pass from the right corner was met at the near post by veteran Truyens, whose drive went through the legs of captain Sreejesh, resulting in a 2-1 lead for Belgium. Afterwards, Gougnard continued to dominate the right side of the midfield as he once helped Tanguy Cosyns earn a penalty corner but Hendrickx's flick went wide. Gougnard crossed for Sebastian Dockier but the latter, with only goalkeeper Sreejesh to beat, fired it over. In the first match of the day, Britain delighted the home crowd by scoring a goal in each quarter to overpower South Korea 4-1. Ashley Jackson opened the scoring for the home side with a clinically dispatched penalty stroke after South Korea goalkeeper Hong Doopyo brought down rival captain Barry Middleton, before David Condon scored the first of two goals when he dived in to finish a wonderful team move. You Seungju pulled a goal back for South Korea when he fired into the roof of the net from a smart penalty corner routine to make the score 1-2 going into half time. But strikes from Alastair Brogdon and a second for Condon sealed a deserved triumph for the well-supported Brits. In the second match, world champions Australia bounced back from a two- goal deficit to defeat Olympic champions and Champions Trophy holders Germany 4-3. Goals from Germany captain Florian Fuchs and Tobias Hauke put them into a commanding lead at the end of the first quarter. But the Australians hit back in the second quarter thanks to strikes from Glenn Turner and Tristan White before Fuchs struck again to give Germany a 3-2 lead at half time. Blake Govers restored parity with a blistering third quarter penalty corner, with Aran Zelewski scoring the winner seven minutes from full time.

35 Is using the power of your MIND the best way to beat chronic pain? As a young health journalist in the Eighties, I fancied becoming a war correspondent, so went to Afghanistan to travel with the mujahedin, who were fighting the Russian army. The mujahedin turned out to be my biggest mortal threat. They were paranoid and trigger-happy. They were also likely to be brutally offended if I quailed at their food hygiene. As a result, I returned to London riddled with exotic forms of dysentery, along with post-traumatic stress disorder. I’d also developed crippling arthritic inflammation in my hips that made even the shortest walk excruciating — the stomach infections had caused my immune system to become hyperactive, and it was attacking my joints. Visits to my GP and A&E resulted only in long-term prescriptions for high-strength ibuprofen. But I knew if I took this for years on end, it could damage my stomach irrevocably. In desperation, I consulted some suspiciously hippy alternative-therapist colleagues, who said I should try meditating, go veggie and stop living on a drip-feed of caffeine and adrenaline. Faced with lifelong pain, I was willing to try anything. After a month on the new regimen, my symptoms abated significantly. But it wasn’t until I tackled deeper unresolved problems — suppressed rage about my father dropping dead when I was three, and my mother having near-fatal cancer when I was seven — and tried to reduce my stress further, that the chronic pain went away. Of course, my experience could have been a one- off, or merely coincidental with the pain resolving itself. But it left me shunning painkillers and pondering the psychological factors that can underlie chronic pain. And now it seems that my old hippy colleagues are being vindicated. Scientists are increasingly casting serious doubt on the effectiveness of using painkillers to cure chronic pain, while there is a growing body of research showing that psychological and lifestyle changes are effective cures. This is not to say all pain is in the mind. But as Dr Austin Leach, a consultant anaesthetist at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital who has run a pain clinic for more than 20 years, explains: ‘A lot of chronic pain is to do with what’s going on inside the patients’ heads. ‘Everything is integrated; body and mind. It’s not about just one medical fix for a physical problem — it’s also about the patient gaining a deeper understanding of the causes of their pain.’ Chronic pain is defined as continuous long-term pain that either lasts more than 12 weeks, or persists for an unusual length of time following trauma or surgery. It is widespread: almost ten million Britons suffer almost daily, according to the British Pain Society. PAINKILLERS MAY ACTUALLY CAUSE PAIN The mainstay treatment is normally painkillers. However, a swathe of new studies shows that our most frequently used strong pain medications are not only ineffective for common conditions, they are also dangerous — and may even themselves cause chronic pain. Last month, it was reported that opioid painkillers — prescription drugs that include morphine, tramadol and oxycodone — provide only ‘minimal benefit’ for lower back pain. Prescribed to around 40 per cent of back pain patients, they do reduce pain, but not enough to be effective, according to a review of studies published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. The same would be true for codeine — the mildest opioid, which is available over the counter — said the study leader Chris Maher, a professor of muscular disorders at the George Institute for Global Health in Sydney. He also warned that, taken long-term, the drugs can have severe side-effects, including dizziness and falls, as well as deaths from overdose. ‘We know of no other medication routinely used for a non-fatal condition that kills patients so frequently,’ Professor Maher said. Perhaps still more disturbingly, new evidence this month suggests that opioid drugs may actually cause chronic pain in patients prescribed them for short-term pain. A study of rats, by neuroscientists at the University of Colorado Boulder in the U. S., showed that a short course of morphine can spark a chain reaction in the body’s immune system which makes it produce dangerous amounts of inflammatory proteins. These cause nerve damage that can cause chronic pain. The researchers warn in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that ‘prolonged pain is an unrealised and clinically concerning consequence of the abundant use of opioids in pain’. Meanwhile, even paracetamol, which is frequently prescribed by GPs for chronic pain, is also being exposed as ineffective and dangerous. In March, a study of more than 58,000 patients published in The Lancet concluded that it does little to ease hip and knee pain caused by osteoarthritis — paracetamol has been the main treatment for the joint condition. Other research has shown that its long-term use is linked to heart, kidney and intestinal problems. Prompted by such findings, NICE — the clinical guidelines watchdog — has advised doctors to stop prescribing the pills for long-term treatment of osteoarthritis. And last month the authoritative U. S. body, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, advised doctors to try non-drug therapies for pain first. Indeed, there is now plenty of research showing that the answer to chronic pain lies not with (ineffective and potentially harmful) drugs, but instead often inside our brains — and changing patients’ expectations about pain. The potential of changed attitudes to alter pain levels was highlighted last month by a study at Julius-Maximilians University in Germany. Psychologists subjected a group of male volunteers to heat stimuli via a band on their forearm, then asked them to rate the pain. The next day, some volunteers were informed that men are more sensitive to pain than women; the others were told women were the more sensitive gender. The experiment was then repeated. Those who had been told men were less sensitive rated their pain as much less intense than on the previous day. Those told men were more sensitive now felt more pain, reported the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences. As the psychologists explained, the effect of changes in attitude can actually be measured ‘physiologically’. WORRYING ABOUT IT MAKES PAIN WORSE This new understanding about pain is revolutionising treatment. To see how, I visit the Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain. Here, Irene Tracey, a professor of pain research, is busy applying small burns and pinpricks to my hand. She is also looking into my brain — I am in an MRI scanner — to see what happens when she makes me go ‘ouch’. The centre’s MRI machine is so powerful that it can scan the brain’s functions and show how my mood, attitude and beliefs all determine how I experience pain. My responses seem perfectly normal — pain stimuli spark off the normal pain region. But in someone with chronic pain, the story can be completely different, with widespread reactions firing up across the entire brain. ‘Our work shows that being anxious or depressed can make pain worse,’ explains Professor Tracey. ‘Your beliefs can override the most powerful painkillers. In one experiment we told chronic pain patients we had stopped giving them a strong opioid, when actually we were still giving it — suddenly they said their pain levels were rising.’ Long-term negative beliefs may create a devastating spiral: the more anxious and depressed you become about your pain, the more you may physically rewire your brain so that it becomes hypersensitive. As a result, even normal touch can piggyback on to the pain system, firing off widespread pain responses across the brain. ‘Even putting on clothes can cause burning sensations,’ says Professor Tracey. Dr Leach sees similar cases in his pain clinic. ‘One patient came in who was convinced that his terrible back pain was cancer,’ he recalls. ‘After talking through his problems he realised that a relative’s recent death from cancer had convinced him of this. It was intensifying the pain in his mind.’ Understanding this helped to reduce his pain. IS IT TIME TO TRY MEDITATION? This understanding is central to the work of the specialist clinics that help patients trapped in chronic pain. With psychologists, physiotherapists and doctors often on staff, these take a ‘biopsychosocial’ approach — combining biological, psychological and social factors. But while treatment may include prescribing pain medication (for instance, stronger forms of pain relief such as nerve blocks) and specialist physiotherapy (to teach patients how to move with their pain), the psychology of pain and coping with it are also key. Dr Amanda Williams, a reader in clinical health psychology at University College London, has worked in these clinics for 30 years, and much of her work involves changing patients’ attitudes. ‘If a person is under stress, they’re not going to manage their pain well. It is going to make it worse,’ she explains. The traditional view that pain has only physical causes that require drugs can make patients resistant to psychological therapy. ‘When patients are told the answer is in their mind, too often they think they are being told they are faking or malingering,’ she says. ‘But many are relieved to hear there may be a psychological element to their pain, and are open to talking about their emotions.’ Unfortunately, as an audit of pain clinics sponsored by the British Pain Society concluded recently, provision of these services is patchy and waiting times are often 18 weeks. This is a problem in itself, says Dr Leach. ‘Often by the time patients finally get seen, their pain syndrome has consolidated in their brains and is significantly harder to treat.’ Given this, Dr Williams believes GPs could be doing more. ‘It would be a help for GPs to teach patients to manage their pain early on by, for example, distracting themselves with something as simple as watching comedy programmes on TV.’ Another option is mindfulness meditation, where patients are taught to become aware of their breathing, thoughts and physical sensations and view them without judgement. This can help people learn to stop fearful thoughts of pain running amok. Two recent trials of more than 600 patients, published in the journal JAMA by the University of Pittsburgh and the Group Health Research Institute in Seattle, showed that mindfulness meditation can help reduce chronic lower back pain. LISTEN TO MUSIC AND DON’T SLOUCH Pain stops people from moving. This sedentary behaviour may explain why people with chronic pain have a much higher level of cardiovascular disease and premature death from all causes. However, movement also helps patients to reduce their pain by ‘unfreezing’ their bodies, as well as preventing them becoming isolated, another factor that feeds into the negative psychology of chronic pain. To address this, experts such as Joanne Marley, a clinical specialist in physiotherapy at the University of Ulster, are developing exercise programmes for people with chronic pain. The aim isn’t to make them athletes, but to make small steps that stop them being frozen by pain. ‘It’s about improving activity levels,’ she explains. ‘For some that may be simply getting out of bed in the morning and sitting down less during the day. Getting patients to stand up and march on the spot every time the adverts come on the television can actually get them up to 3,000 steps a day.’ Researchers are discovering simple ways to trick pain-prone brains into calming down. One of these is simply to stand straight: a boldly upright posture rather than weakly slouching actually makes you less pain-sensitive. Research by the University of Southern California in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology in 2011 shows that adopting more dominant poses makes people feel more able to handle pain. Changing your language may also help. Brain scans by psychologists at Jena University in Germany found that words such as ‘tormenting’, ‘gruelling’ or ‘plaguing’ fire up the pain-processing areas in your brain. Using more positive terms may dampen down the responses, suggests the study in the journal Pain in 2010. You could try listening to classical music. In 2011, researchers at York University reported in the journal Music and Medicine that listening to the complex melodies of Bach or Mozart is more effective at reducing pain levels than other sorts of music. To find your nearest pain clinic (you will need to be referred by your GP or hospital consultant go to the National Pain Audit.

37 Family of woman abducted in Kabul writes to PM with appeal New Delhi : Keeping the hope alive that Judith D'Souza will be home soon, her family today wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to do his "utmost" in securing her release from abductors in Afghanistan. Kolkata-based Judith's father Denzil D'Souza, mother Gloria D'Souza, brother Jerome D'Souza and sister Agnes D'Souza wrote a common letter to the Prime Minister, whose copies were sent to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress MP from the state Derek O'Brien. In the letter, the family members have said that the "brave, thoughtful, generous and compassionate" Judith had been working in Afghanistan for the well-being of the Afghan people and "as an ambassador of goodwill from India's people, participating in the developmental programmes of that country". Describing her as a "proud Indian", the family said, "as you can imagine, the news of Judith's kidnapping has shocked and stunned us. It has placed a shroud upon our family. " They added, "We were eagerly awaiting her arrival home on vacation in a week from now, and do hope she will be back with us soon. " Judith, working for an international NGO Aga Khan Foundation as senior technical adviser, was kidnapped by suspected militants in the heart of Kabul two days back. She was scheduled to return to India next week. The family members said the government has reached out to them in "our time of need and anxiety" and the External Affairs Minister as well as an official of the ministry had spoken to them in the past two days. "However, we still await concrete details," they said. "Sir, we appeal to you in your capacity as the leader of our great country and as the custodian of the well-being of our citizens, to please do your utmost to get dear Judith back home, among her family, her friends and her people. Please commit all levers you can bring into play to successfully reunite our family," the family wrote in the letter to the Prime Minister. The letter noted Modi's remarks earlier that 'Afghanistan's success is a deeply-held hope and desire of every Indian' and said it is so critical to India's engagement with the neighbouring country. "...we seek your active support under this noble sentiment as well. " The family had words of praise for West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee government. "In Kolkata, where we have lived our lives and where Judith was born and educated, the community, our peers and the government, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, have left us overwhelmed with our warmth and solidarity in this hour of crisis for our family," they said.

38 Meet the women who've never had a single grey hair Spotting your first grey hair is a depressing moment for any woman, right up there with wrinkles and tummy rolls. A third of women discover their first silver strand by the age of 30 and the average 50-year-old has lost 50 per cent of her original colour. Little wonder a middle-aged woman who insists she has yet to find any grey is viewed with envy, not to mention suspicion. But that’s what TV presenter Claudia Winkleman claimed recently. ‘I don’t have grey hair yet,’ said the 44-year-old, whose glossy black bob is her trademark. So what’s her secret? Hair colour is created by pigment cells, melanocytes, within the hair’s middle layer - the cortex. When these cells are damaged or die, hair is stripped of its colour and looks silver or white. ‘It is part of the ageing process, and affects both sexes equally, ’ says Glenn Lyons, clinical director at the Philip Kingsley Trichological clinic in London. The most common cause of grey hair is genetic. There is also evidence that stress can cause grey hair by depleting the body’s stores of vitamin B. Antonia Hoyle spoke to four lucky women - and their hairdressers to make sure they weren’t fibbing - to find out what it’s like to have permanently youthful locks. My friend says my black hair looks like a wig Jackie Cohen, 64, is a retired social work manager. She lives in Barnet, Herts, with her husband, Raymond, 69, a jeweller. She says: My absence of grey is more likely to prompt disbelief than envy. Even those who accept I’m not dyeing it on the sly aren’t always complimentary: one of my friends said I have got to the age where my short, black cut is so dark it looks unnatural, like a wig. But the truth is I’ve never dyed my hair. The health implications of the chemicals in artificial colour put me off experimenting when I was younger. Now, I’m lucky not to have the hassle of endless salon appointments. One friend spends every third Saturday afternoon at the hairdresser. It costs her £100 a visit - I couldn’t be doing with the small talk, let alone the eye-watering expense. A quick £30 trim every six weeks is enough for me. I must have saved thousands over my lifetime and my hair - which I’m told is naturally shiny and full of bounce - seems all the better for it. Although my mother was dark- haired and didn’t get her first grey hair until her 60s, there were many years I was convinced I would succumb to silver. Aged 35, I was diagnosed with a skin condition called vitiligo. The causes are unknown, but sufferers lose their natural pigment, leading to white patches of skin. A specialist warned me it could also affect my hair, turning it white overnight. I’d go straight to the bathroom mirror every morning half expecting to have lost my hair colour. Thankfully, it didn’t happen and, unusually, I grew out of the condition in my mid-50s. My ambition is to hang on until 70 without the help of hair dye. Jackie’s freelance hairdresser, Marc Scott-Taylor, says: ‘I’ve been cutting Jackie’s hair for five years. She doesn’t dye it and hasn’t got any grey. Usually by the time you reach your 60s the quality of your hair and its pigment goes. Jackie is very lucky.’ I’ve been mistaken for my son’s blonde sister Diane Hambley, 41, is an emergency call handler from Cwmbran, South Wales. She is engaged to Ray, 43, a driver, and has two children, Charlie, 21, and Alyssa, 11, from a previous relationship. She says: My hair has no split ends, stretches down to my waist and, best of all, doesn’t contain a single grey. Little wonder I love it. Fewer than 2 per cent of blondes are natural, and I’m willing to bet that only a fraction of those are over 40. You can tell my hair isn’t dyed because it’s a soft shade, rather than peroxide-induced platinum. If I did find a grey, I wouldn’t dye because I don’t want to look fake. But I have been blessed with good genes. My great- grandmother was still blonde in her 80s, my 94-year-old grandmother has only a smattering of grey and my mother, Elizabeth, 63, is still a natural blonde. My friends are jealous that I can pass as a woman in her late 20s, as is my daughter, who inherited her father’s dark hair. Not so long ago a group of my son’s friends mistook me for his sister when they met me for the first time - mortifying for him, but fabulous for me. I have dyed my hair before, aged 30, after being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Lupus Erythematosus, in which the body attacks the skin, leaving it dry and scaly. Side-effects include hair loss, and I developed a tiny bald patch on the top of my head. I was prescribed steroids and the hair loss halted but, not thinking rationally, I decided to dye my then bob pillar-box red in case it was my last chance to experiment. Afterwards my hair became so dry it felt like a matted clump whenever I washed it. Four months later, I had the colour stripped out, and decided to be grateful for what nature gave me and grow my hair long instead. It’s hot and heavy, but I am hoping that I, like my great-grandmother, will stay blonde until my dying day. Diane’s hairdresser Bonita Bean, of Convenient Cutz in Cwmbran, says: ‘I’ve been trimming Diane’s hair for the past year and she definitely doesn’t dye it — bleach makes the hair dry and brittle, whereas hers is smooth and sleek. She is incredibly lucky.’ My lifestyle keeps me brunette Tracy Posner, 55, is the director of a health and beauty company. She lives in London with her husband, Robert, 47, a charity manager, and has a grown-up son and daughter. She says: Sitting in my hair salon recently, a woman pointed at my hair. ‘I’d like mine the same as she’s coloured hers,’ she told her stylist. I laughed, as did my hairdresser, because my chocolate brown bob is entirely my own shade, and it always has been. I’d never have imagined I could be in my mid-50s without a single grey hair. It is extraordinary really, especially as my mother and grandmother both went grey in their 20s. I’ve been through plenty of grey-inducing stress, too - ten years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. I had an operation to remove it, was left paralysed and had to learn to walk and talk again afterwards. But the part of my hair that was shaved for surgery still grew back brown. I think my healthy lifestyle plays a part. I take vitamin supplements and omega-3 oil, which helps to prevent the ageing process. I barely drink and do Pilates twice a week. I have a professional blow-dry once a week and a trim every six weeks. Am I nervous about discovering my first grey? A bit. I regularly scrutinise my scalp under the bright lights of my bathroom mirror and would definitely dye it if the need arose. Given my devotion to my hair, it would be a natural progression.’ Tracy’s hairdresser, Mo Nabbach of M&M Hair academy in London, says: ‘Tracy has been my client for 20 years and I can confirm she doesn’t have a single grey hair. You can tell the difference: dyed hair looks flatter, as there are no natural, different shades running through it. You don’t see many grey redheads Tanya Boyten, 43, is an account manager for a clothes company. She is single and lives in Hebden Bridge, West Yorks. She says: I always assumed that going grey was part and parcel of getting older - yet here I am, in my mid-40s, without a single silver strand. I am fairly sure the secret lies in my hair colour. After all, how many greying redheads have you seen? My thick auburn mane is part of my identity now. Yes, I can be fiery - something my dad attributes to my hair colour. But having red hair makes me feel mysterious and interesting. That said, I haven’t always been enamoured with it. As a school girl, I got called all the obvious names like ‘ginger nut’ and ‘copper nob’. At 25, I had highlights to make it look lighter. To dye red hair you have to strip the pigment with bleach before applying colour. I remember sitting in the salon for most of the day, and although I loved the result, the chemicals left it incredibly dry. I’ve been too scared to colour it since in case it is ruined for good. Which is a shame — like many redheads, my hair has grown more auburn with age and I’d like to enhance the redness with dye. Without wanting to sound egotistical, my lack of grey means I have been mistaken for a woman in my mid-30s. Hairdressers are amazed by my good luck and at work customers insist I must be dyeing it. My mother, a brunette, had grey strands by 40, but I’ve inherited my red hair from my maternal grandmother. I’m not vain and like to think that if I did find a grey hair, I would handle it gracefully. Tanya’s hairdresser, Georgia Brown, of SGM Hair in Hebden Bridge, says: ‘I’ve been cutting Tanya’s hair for three years. She is really lucky to have lovely, thick hair without any grey. But red hair - especially a strong red like hers - does retain its pigment for longer. 'Natural redheads have different tones in their hair which are harder to recreate with dye, which is why dyed redheads can look more artificial.’

39 Finally! Apple will let users delete its own apps in iOS 10 Apple will finally let iPhone users banish the Stocks app forever. Developers confirmed the first test version of iOS 10 allows users to finally delete Apple's own apps. It has come under fire for forcing users to keep the apps, with many resorting to hiding them in folders. Scroll down for video Now, it appears their prayers have been answered. 'iOS 10 enables users to remove the following built-in apps from the Home screen on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch,' said MacRumopurs, before listing Apple's in house apps. The apps have also appeared on Apple's app store - so users who delete them can simply re- download them if they change their mind. According to MacRumours, the apps you can now delete in iOS 10 are: Calendar, Compass, Contacts, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Home, iBooks, iCloud Drive, iTunes Store, Mail, Maps, Music, News, Notes, Podcasts, Reminders, Stocks, Tips, Videos, Voice Memos, Watch app, Weather. MacRumours said the apps had already begun to appear in the App Store, allowing users to download them again if they change their mind. 'Now downloadable Apple native apps: Stocks, Mail, Maps, Notes, Voice Memos, Watch, Music, FaceTime, Weather, iTunes Store, Calendar,Contacts,' it tweeted. Following criticism for users it has completely overhauled its Apple Music service. The software has been entirely redesigned to make it easier to use, and to compete with rival services from Spotify and Tidal. Eddy Cue revealed a new version of Apple's music app. The firm has completely redesigned its software to make it easier to use. It has been completely redesigned 'from the ground up' said Cue. 'It has a beautiful new design - the music is the hero.' 'Apple Music has an all-new design, bringing greater clarity and simplicity to every aspect of the experience,' the firm says. Following complaints from users it also has a a new structure that makes it easy to navigate and discover new music. The Library, For You, Browse and Radio tabs have been completely redesigned to provide an even greater sense of place. A new search tab to make finding music even easier. Bozoma Saint John, Apple's head of global consumer marketing, took the stage to present the overhaul 'that allows the music to become the hero and a new structure that makes it easy to navigate and discover new music', she said. The Library, For You, Browse and Radio are largly the same, but the overhaul makes them easier to use and as a similar control design to iTunes. Users will also be given a daily curate playlist in the 'For You' tab and there is a social network-style Connect that features updates from the artists themselves. But the most impressive releases in Apple Music is that users can access the lyrics of each song, without leaving the app, and see what they have listened to in the past. The streaming service, which launched last June at Apple's last WWDC conference, has amassed 15 million paying subscribers, Cue said today, and is live in more than 100 countries. The tech giant hosted its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco where it unveiled the software,featuring a huge update to Messages that allows users to communicate like never before. iOS 10 introduces the ability for Siri to do more by working with apps, redesigned Maps, Photos, Apple Music, News apps and added Home app – a new way to manage home automation products. 'iOS 10 is our biggest release ever, with delightful new ways to express yourself in Messages, a native app for Home automation, and beautifully redesigned apps for Music, Maps, and News that are more intuitive and more powerful, making everything you love about your iPhone and iPad even better,' said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. 'iOS 10 adds Siri intelligence into QuickType and Photos, automates your home with the new Home app and opens up Siri, Maps, Phone and Messages to developers — while increasing security and privacy with powerful technologies like Differential Privacy.' With the latest version, Siri will also be opened, for the first time, to third-party developers. Apple is passing the torch and allowing others to build on the intelligence Siris has to offer and let users interact directly with apps using their voice. Called SiriKit, this new application will help developers design their own apps that coincide with Siri for messaging, phone calls, photo search, ride booking, personal payments and working out. Siri will also be used to control CarPlay apps, which the firm says allows for much safer driving. But what had the crowed on edge was the redesign of Messenger, which now shares other media inside chat transcripts. There will be links and image with rich thumbnail previews, users can listen to Apple Music tracks without switching services and videos can be played right inside the chat box. Apple has redesigned Message to let users convey thoughts and emotions in new bold ways. Messages can include powerful animations, such as balloons, confetti or fireworks that take up the entire screen to really express the celebration. But if you want to share something and keep it more low key, Apple has added invisible ink that only reveals the message after the receiver swipes their finger across the message. There are bubble effects that transform how the bubble reacts in the chat transcript - -again to really get your point across. There is also a feature that allows handwritten notes and another one that lets users share digital touch videos. These short snippets lets users choose a picture and draw an interactive picture or message across, and there are numerous vibrant stickers to choose from. All of these new features might put an end to the miscommunication that has always surrounded text message. In addition to new effects, users can send emoji even faster with Messages automatic suggestions. This makes it easier to replace words with emoji, Tapback creates a quick and simple way to respond with just a tap and rich links let you see content inline and play media without ever leaving your conversation – these tiny pictographs are also three times the size. Maps is another service that got a little more creative. A new redesign has given the service a simplified interface, but allows users to plan an entire outing without ever leaving the app. This service is also open to developers with new extensions, apps like OpenTable can integrate bookings directly into Maps and services like Uber and Lyft can make it easier for users to book a ride. For example, you can find a restaurant via Maps, book the reservation using OpenTable and request a car from either Uber or Lyft – all in one application. And bases on new intelligence it proactively delivers directions to where you most likely want to go next, based on your normal routine or appointments in your calendar. Once a route is planned, Maps can search along the route for gas stations, restaurants, coffee shops and more and provides an estimate of how the stop impacts the length of your trip. Apple knows is users love capturing some much with their iPhone cameras and have made it easier to recall every moment that you froze in time using Memories. Memories scans all of your photos and videos and uses points within the picture to find favorite and forgotten events, trips and people. And the firm has creature a new way to display both medias in one beautiful movie – complete with music, titles and transitions. Memories users advanced computer vision to group everything in pictures, from people to places to things, the technology uses more than 11 billion computations per photo to detect what is being shown, Federighi said during the conference. The final revamped feature shown for iOS was the Home app, which delivers a simple and secure way to setup, manage and control your home. Users can access and inateract with all their automated home products, no matter who makes them. 'Support for HomeKit continues to expand globally with nearly 100 home automation products adopting HomeKit this year, bringing support for thermostats, lights, window shades, door locks, video cameras and more to the Home app,' Apple explained.

40 Polish foreign minister due to arrive in Israel today for three-day visit Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski is arriving Tuesday for a three- day state visit during which he will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other high ranking Israeli officials. The visit will focus on bilateral issues with the aim of enhancing bilateral cooperation, said Polish Ambassador Jacek Chodorowicz, who referred to Israel as “our friend and significant partner in the Middle East.” Among the issues Waszczykowski will discuss will be the agenda of the government-to-government meeting slated to take place in Jerusalem in the fall with the participation of the heads of both governments as well as senior ministers from both countries. Waszczykowski, who formerly was the Polish ambassador to Iran, is making his first visit to Israel since taking office in November 2015. In addition to a parley with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he is scheduled to meet with Cabinet Minister Tzachi Hanegbi and Foreign Ministry Director- General Dore Gold. Waszczykowski will be accompanied by a delegation including chairman and vice-chairman of the Polish-Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group, and the director of Warsaw’s Jewish Historical Institute. In Jerusalem, the group will visit the graves of soldiers and civilians who arrived in British Mandate Palestine during the Second World War as part of Gen. Władysław Anders’s Polish Army in Exile. More than 120,000 Polish soldiers and their families, among them many Jews, traveled from the Soviet Union, via what was then Persia and Iraq, to join the British forces stationed in the Middle East. It was a journey fraught with danger, tension, physical exertion and lack of hygiene, as a result of which many of the soldiers succumbed to exhaustion or disease. “This is why we have a cemetery with Polish graves in Jerusalem,” said Chodorowicz. As is the custom among visiting dignitaries, Waszczykowski will visit Yad Vashem, where he will lay a wreath in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust. Of the six million Jews who perished during World War II, half were Polish citizens. While at Yad Vashem, he will also honor the 6,600 Poles awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations. Although Jewish life in Poland will never be as rich as it was prior to the Nazi Holocaust, the country has experienced a resurgence of Jewish identity and culture since the Communist regime fell in 1989. “Today, Poland boasts a small but vibrant Jewish community,” said Chodorowicz. “There is a feeling of investment in the future of Jewish life in Poland. with many non-governmental organizations such as the JCC and the Taube Foundation operating in our country.” Chodorowicz also noted the annual Jewish culture festival in Krakow is the largest such event in the world, attracting thousands of Jews and non-Jews from around the globe. Chodorowicz further noted that Waszczykowski’s visit comes in the midst of efforts by the international community to recreate conditions that will allow the revival of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Poland was among the 29 parties to the June 3 Paris conference that sought to find a new entry point for meaningful negotiations, Chodorowski continued. “Warsaw has a special friendly relationship with Israel, and it will remain so. We are committed to Israel’s security and to the two-state solution,” he stated. Poland and Israel resumed diplomatic relations 26 years ago after the fall of Soviet bloc. Israel is one of Poland’s major political and economic partners in the Middle East. Bilateral trade reached $1 billion in 2015.

42 ANALYSIS: Is the CIA spin-doctoring Saudi involvement in 9/11 attacks? What was US CIA director John Brennan trying to accomplish on Sunday when he poured cold water on the idea of connecting Saudi Arabia to the 9/11 attacks? Brennan was getting out in front of the likely imminent release of 28 until-now classified pages of the 2002 9/11 Commission report, which are expected to be released sometime this month. From US President Barack Obama and Brennan’s perspective, his statements on the issue were a first major shot to save US-Saudi relations from the impact of releasing those pages and a bill making its way through Congress which collectively could rupture those relations. All indications are that, in direct contrast to Brennan’s statements, the 28 pages will show a greater and more detailed connection to 9/11 between certain Saudi officials and power-brokers than has been known to date. If that is true, then why is Brennan saying the opposite: that they effectively absolve Saudi Arabia of many unfair suspicions held against it since 9/11? There are two parts to the answer. From a birds-eye view, how the US public and Saudi Arabia react to the 28 pages could determine no less than the future of the decades old alliance, which has been a cornerstone of the power relations that make up the Middle East. Thanks to the US-Saudi fighting over the Iran nuclear deal and the Yemen and Syrian civil wars, a rare bipartisan consensus has emerged in Congress that Riyadh has abused the US alliance and spit on US human rights values for too long. Furthermore, after unearthing its own vast energy resources in recent years, the US is less dependent on Saudi oil than ever before. This gets into the second part of the answer. As a manifestation of the recent distance and breaking of dependency between the US and Saudi Arabia, the US Senate in mid-May passed a bill that essentially creates a new right for families of 9/11 American victims to sue Saudi Arabia for harm from the attacks. The truth is that suing Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks is not new. Since 2005, the families of the 9/11 victims have been suing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, four Saudi princes, a charity known as the Saudi High Commission for Relief to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a Saudi banker. The four princes – Salman, Sultan, Naif and Turki al-Faisal bin Abdulaziz al- Saud – all hold government office. But until now, all of these cases, referred to as the “In re Terrorist Attacks” cases (there are four groups of cases), have hit wall after wall of US laws dating back to 1976, in particular the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, blocking lawsuits against sovereign nations or agents and instrumentalities of those nations. So until now, the US courts have maintained a generally hands-off policy vis-a-vis foreign states, and that has kept Saudi Arabia untouchable. This new bill would sweep away the obstacles and leave the Saudis completely vulnerable. Getting back to the bigger game of where US-Saudi relations may go, this seemingly smaller legal issue could bring a machete to the already unstable relationship. The Saudis are so upset by the possibility of this new bill becoming law that they have threatened to sell off up to $750 billion in US assets, rather than face exposure in US courts. This is where the soon-to-be disclosed 28 pages come in. If the US public views them as a smoking gun of Saudi involvement, the suing Saudi Arabia bill may pass through Congress. Obama has threatened to veto the bill. Despite all of the changes in the US- Saudi dynamic, he clearly is not prepared to risk a complete rupture in relations. But if the smoke from the 28 pages becomes a cloud, there could be enough public anger to fuel Congress overriding Obama’s veto. This is where Brennan’s statements come in. Brennan’s sizing up the 28 pages was carefully worded. He told Saudi Arabia’s Al-Arabiya that the 9/11 commission’s overall conclusion was that there was no evidence “that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials” supported the 9/11 attacks. Brennan’s statement tries to positively spin the people who he thinks “really matter” in Saudi Arabia, while slicing off any non-senior Saudi officials or parts of the government that may have “gone rogue” so that he can stay true to the 9/11 commission’s findings and what the 28 pages are expected to say about such officials. He also does not mention that the commission said it both lacked evidence against Saudi Arabia and lacked the capacity to fully probe the issue. That leaves Brennan trying to emphasize the positive of what will come out of the 28 pages, before the negative grabs the headlines and possibly pushes the new bill over the finish line and US-Saudi relations into the abyss.

43 Why 'zoats' (zucchini and oats) is the new breakfast trend to try Since 'spiralising' emerged a couple of years ago, health food bloggers have been looking into myriad ways to replace regular, carb-heavy foods with calorie-light, nutrient-rich zucchini. Their endeavours have been met with mixed results. But the latest experiment - which replaces traditional porridge oats with zucchini - is surprisingly delicious, and hardly alters the usual oat-y flavour you know and love. Introducing 'zoats' - which are basically a tasty combination of zucchini and oats. 'Zoats' are the new way the health set are getting in one of their five a day first thing. While the mash-up might sound strange, it's storming Instagram for a reason - while the oat-y taste of the porridge remains essentially unchanged, the zucchini is packed full of goodness, which will set you up for the day before you've even started it. Because it is full of fibre, if you put zucchini in with your oats first thing in the morning, you'll more than likely get as much as a third of your recommended daily intake with your breakfast.

44 Trump and Clinton cancel fundraisers in wake of Orlando massacre Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each cancelled fundraisers today as the country mourned the 49 people who were killed in the Orlando terrorist attack over the weekend. Clinton was supposed to appear at a fundraiser tonight in Cincinnati at Mayor John Cranley's home. Trump had plans to meet with donors at Langham Hotel Boston's financial district. He was also scheduled to fundraise at an event in the New Hampshire town of Rye, according to the Boston Globe. Both events were put off as the nation's focus stayed glued to Orlando and the fallout from the tragic shooting at a gay nightclub early Sunday morning. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO The presumptive Republican nominee additionally called off a campaign event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He kept a date in Manchester, New Hampshire, however, turning his speech at St. Anselm College into a critique of Hillary Clinton's response to the terrorist act. 'She says the solution is to ban guns. They tried that in France,' he said, and yet, last year, 'one hundred thirty people were brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists in cold blood.' Trump said Clinton's 'plan is to disarm law-abiding Americans, abolish the Second Amendment and leave only terrorists ... with guns.' Reading from a Teleprompter, Trump said, 'She wants to take away Americans' guns and then admit the very people who want to slaughter us.' The businessman was referring to Clinton's proposal to open America's doors to 60,000 Syrian refugees, fleeing ISIS. It's a 'catastrophic immigration plan' that would 'bring vastly more radical Islamic immigrants into this country, threatening not only our society but our entire way of life,' he said. 'Ignorance is not bliss,' Trump proclaimed. 'It's deadly. Totally deadly.' Speaking just before him at Democratic Party event in Cleveland, Ohio, Clinton did not call for an out- and-out ban on guns, and she said earlier this morning, on CNN, that she believes 'law-abiding, responsible Americans' have a right to own them. But she said it is 'essential that we stop terrorists from getting the tools they need to carry out the attacks.' 'And that is especially true when it comes to assault weapons like those used in Orlando and San Bernardino.' Recycling language from President Barack Obama, Clinton said in Cleveland, 'I believe weapons of war have no place on our streets.' This morning both Clinton and Trump made the rounds on the morning shows, and they both gave interviews to CNN. In her phone call, Clinton caved to pressure from Trump to call the terrorist attack 'radical Islamism.' 'But what I won't do, because I think it is dangerous for our efforts to defeat this threat, is to demonize and demagogue and, you know, declare war on an entire religion. That plays right into ISIS' hands,' she said, scolding Trump. The slap at her opponent came moments after she stated that the shooting necessitates that 'Republicans, Democrats, Independents, all Americans, to work together as one team.' 'It's a time for statesmanship, not partisanship,' Clinton said. On Fox and Friends, Trump said his opponent for the White House 'is not the right person' to lead the country - 'especially in these times. These are times when you need solidity.' Tuesday the two candidates will resume their schedules, with Clinton campaigning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Trump doing the same in Greensborough, North Carolina. A representative for the Clinton campaign did not respond to an email from DailyMail.com asking if the Cincinnati event at the mayor's house was being rescheduled for later this week. Clinton was supposed to campaign with President Obama on Wednesday in Green Bay, but that event was also cancelled as the administration grapples with the fallout from the Sunday shootout.

45 Man pulls off elaborate proposal with 50 people and 4 costume changes A Texas man's incredibly elaborate proposal to his boyfriend of six years took four months of planning and included everything from a dance troupe to confetti cannons. Dallas, Texas, residents DeAndre Upshaw, 29, and his boyfriend Stuart Hausmann, 28, have been together for six years and, according to DeAndre, knew that they were going to spend their lives together for some time. But as the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in favor of same sex marriage approached, DeAndre decided it was time the pair made things official - and he subsequently spent months planning just how to pop the question. Working in digital marketing and video production and heading up a successful improv troupe, DeAndre was sure to 'every resource at my disposal to make this an amazing experience for Stu'. In a detailed description of his plan posted online, DeAndre describes how he 'spent four months secretly colluding with family, friends and college roommates across the country to help make this an amazing, special day’. That day started off with a fake plan to go for a 'fancy brunch', which was soon revealed to be a ruse when DeAndre pulled the car over to ask Stu to put on a blindfold. Pulling into a parking lot in nearby Plano, DeAndre led the confused Stu to the open back of the car, sitting him down and putting on a pair of headphones that began playing a pop song close to the couple's hearts. 'I chose the song Closer by Tegan and Sara because we'd seen them open for fun. back in 2013 and immediately became hooked on the song,' DeAndre explains in the video description. 'I'm very much a Beyonce man and his musical tastes lean more towards OK GO and Brett Dennen, so discovering an anthem that we both loved was very exciting for us!' In the video of the proposal, DeAndre is seen in a black T-shirt and jeans dancing and lip-syncing to the tune when, suddenly, he is joined by a set of dancers in shiny, colorful costumes. They step along with the music as the car slowly rolls forward, taking Stu along with it. DeAndre runs off to the side while a troupe of dancers in white swarm in front of Stu to perform some energetic choreography, before groups of friends and family jump into view, causing Stu to burst into laughter and joyful tears. Some, who had driven in for the occasion, Stu hadn't seen in years. DeAndre returns to perform a ribbon dance in a white hooded shirt with some of the dancers for a chorus before making way for flag twirlers and a pair of dancers sporting giant cutouts of Stu and DeAndre's faces. More family and friends make appearances, than DeAndre leaps back in wearing a marching band uniform and cape surrounded by the dancers in white and others also in band uniforms. Then, all the family, friends and dancers form two lines in front of Stu and lean to the middle, waving their hands while DeAndre walks down the center, in yet another new outfit. Ring box in his fist, he takes Stu's hand and leads him in front of all their friends and family before dropping to one knee. A choral version of the song plays and, the moment Stu says yes, the dancers kneeling behind them shoot off several confetti cannons. DeAndre later uploaded the incredible proposal to YouTube, where it was quickly shared by thousands of people. To date, the nearly seven-minute clip has been viewed more than 67,000 times.

46 Missing red giants may have collided with a disc in the early universe Ancient red giant stars may have been subjected to repeated collisions with a massive accretion disk, stripping away much of their mass, and causing them to 'disappear' from the Milky Way. This is according to a study from Georgia Tech astrophysicists, whose new computer simulations test the hypothesis that the 'missing' red giants aren't actually gone, but are just too dim to detect. The simulations reveal the conditions that would have been required for the ancient stars to lose their mass, and could help to explain why there appear to be an abundance of young stars in the Milky Way, but very few old ones. Scroll down for video The theory suggests that red giants dimmed millions of years ago after losing 10s percent of their mass. This is thought to be result of interactions with a gaseous accretion disk at the galactic center 4- 8 million years ago – an idea that's supported by the presence of the young stars seen today. To test this hypothesis, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology created models of the missing red giants. These are over a billion years old, and larger than the Sun. The researchers developed a computerized 'wind tunnel' to simulate collisions with the accretion disk, which took up much of the space within.5 parsecs of the galactic center. Then, they tested various velocities and disk density to determine how the scenario could have played out. 'Red giants could have lost a significant portion of their mass only if the disk was very massive and dense,' said Tamara Bogdanovic, the Georgia Tech assistant professor who co-led the study. 'So dense, that gravity would have already fragmented the disk on its own, helping to form massive clumps that became the building blocks of a new generation of stars.' The study revealed that the red giant stars may each have orbited through the disk dozens of times, some taking days or even weeks to complete the crossing. With each encounter, the star would have lost a portion of its mass. 'The only way for this scenario to take place within that relatively short time frame was if, back then, the disk that fragmented had a much larger mass than all the young stars that eventually formed from it – at least 100 to 1,000 times more mass,' said Thomas Forrest Kieffer, former Georgia Tech undergraduate student. As these stars collided with the disk, they likely reduced kinetic energy by 20 to 30 percent, the researchers say. This would have shrunk their orbits and drawn them close to the Milky Way's black hole. And, it could have caused them to spin more rapidly. 'We don't know very much about the conditions that led to the most recent episode of star formation in the galactic center or whether this region of the galaxy could have contained so much gas,' Bogdanovic said. 'If it did, we expect that it would presently house under-luminous red giants is observed, among a small number that are still above the detection threshold, it would provide direct support for the star-disk collision hypothesis and allow us to learn more about the origins of the Milky Way.'

47 Orlando shooter worked for security firm tainted by blunders LONDON (AP) — The security company that employed the shooter in the Orlando nightclub massacre has been tarred by a series of blunders and scandals that have raised questions about its competency and ethics. London-based G4S acknowledged Monday that Omar Mateen, whose rampage left 49 people dead and more than 50 wounded, worked for the firm at a residential community in south Florida. The ties to the man behind the worst mass shooting in modern U. S. history is the latest dark cloud to loom over G4S. Concerns that the fallout from Mateen's attacks might make it more difficult for G4S to get security contracts contributed to a 5 percent decline in the company's stock Monday. Founded in Denmark more than 100 years ago, G4S entered the U. S. market in a big way in 2002 with its purchase of The Wackenhut Corp., the country's second-largest security services firm at the time. G4S is now the world's largest security company, measured by employees. It has 610,000 workers, including about 50,000 in the U. S, according to its website. It earned 227 million pounds (about $324 million at current exchange rates) on revenue of 6.4 billion pounds last year, excluding the businesses it trying to sell or close. The company provides security for sports and rock stars in addition to 40 U. S. embassies and 32 juvenile- justice detention facilities in the U. S., including 28 residential centers in Florida. In recent years, though, G4S has had trouble protecting its own reputation. It created a huge headache during the 2012 London Olympics when it didn't deliver the number of security guards promised in its contract. The British military had to be called in to fill the gap, forcing G4S to help cover the costs. G4S came under fire again in 2013 when it and a competitor were found to have overbilled the U. K. government for the electronic tagging of criminals. The scandal cost G4S 116 million pounds in settlement charges and 45 million pounds in lost profits. In a mortifying gaffe, G4S staff in 2011 attached an electronic monitoring tag to the false leg of a criminal, who was able to simply remove the prosthetic — and the tag — during his court-ordered curfew. G4S defended its handling of Mateen. The company said he underwent a detailed screening process when he was recruited in 2007 and again in 2013 during a periodic review process with "no adverse findings. " It also mentioned that Mateen underwent a review by a U. S. law enforcement agency in 2013 without anything troublesome being reported to the company. The company's screenings include a psychometric test, a drug test, a seven-year criminal history, employment and education check, credit report, social security and driver's license check and a physical fitness test. Mateen received a firearms license issued by the state of Florida and a security officers' license when he was hired in 2007. In its statement Monday, G4S said it's cooperating with U. S. authorities in their investigation of the Orlando massacre. ___ Liedtke reported from San Francisco. Danica Kirka and Paisley Dodds in London contributed to this report.

48 Orlando terrorist on wild shooting practice two days before massacre Mass murdering terrorist Omar Mateen went on a wild shooting practice with his newly bought weapons just two days before he used them in the biggest mass killing in American history, Daily Mail Online has learned. ‘He was really blasting it,’ revealed a man practicing next to him at the St. Lucie Shooting Center range. ‘’He was shooting pretty hard and the cables holding the target came down — whether that was bad aim or a ricochet I don’t know. ‘All I know is he was really loud. I had my ear protectors on and still jumped.’ The man, who refused to give his name, went to the shooting center on Monday to double check that the man he had seen there last Thursday was indeed Mateen. He said he was almost certain it was and the two weapons he used, an AR-15 and a Glock, matched the weapons killer Mateen used. ‘I saw his picture on the news and he looked similar. He told me he was getting used to his new weapons.’ The St. Lucie Shooting Center, on an industrial estate outside Port St. Lucie, Florida, where Madeen’s family live, was closed Monday despite it boasting that it is open 7 days a week. A note was posted on the door saying it would open later in the day. The ATF confirmed that Mateen obtained his guns at the center a few days before Sunday morning’s atrocity in Orlando, 125 miles to the northwest. The center offers free range time for anyone who has just bought weapons there. The St. Lucie Shooting Center is owned by retired New York City cop Edward Henson. The company website says he had 20 years service with the NYPD and the New York Housing Police, 16 of which were as a detective. The Statewide Firearm License discovered by Daily Mail Online in the killer's apartment (below left) expired last September. But the owner of the gun center, retired New York City cop Edward Henson, says that Mateen had an up-to-date license with him Henson said that Mateen — who he refused to refer to by name, instead calling hi ‘an evil person’ — legally bought the handgun and the long gun approximately a week apart. ‘If he hadn’t purchased them from us I am sure he would have got them from another local gun store,’ added Henson, who is known locally as ‘Big Ed.'. 'This man held multiple security licenses. He had an armed and an unarmed licence. He passed the background check that every single person who purchases a firearm in the state of Florida undergoes — Aa full background check, there is no such thing as an abbreviated background check. He said if Mateen had not had a concealed carry permit he would have had to undergo a three-day cooling-off period to buy the handgun, although he could have bought the AR-15 on the same day ‘He is familiar to me, vaguely,’ said Henson. ‘But I don’t know him personally. ‘He was evil, we happen to be the gun store he picked. And there is nothing else I can say.’ Henson said he voluntarily closed the store on Monday so ATF officers could carry out an inspection. He forcefully denied reports that ATF had shut him down. He also said reports that Mateen had asked for body armor were false. He said his store has never sold body armor The center was in the news in 2013 when a 22-year-old man went there to rent a handgun. As soon as the background check and a basic safety course was completed the man killed himself with a shot to the head. There has been no suggestion that Mateen, a guard for giant security company G4S who worked at a condo complex in Palm City, Florida, bought the weapons illegally nor that the St. Lucie Shooting Center should have realized what he would use them for. ‘He had a concealed weapon permit and he worked as a security guard, so absolutely his purchase was legal,’ John O’Neil, who owns a pawn shop in Port St. Lucie that sells gun shop told Daily Mail Online in an exclusive interview. ‘I feel very sorry for Big Ed. He did nothing wrong. I know him well — I got my concealed permit through him,’ added O’Neil, who says he has not contacted Henson since the Orlando massacre. “I figured he would have enough people calling him,’ he said. O’Neil and other gun shop owners said the first thing they did once Madeen’s name was made public was to check their records to make sure they were not the ones who supplied the weapons. All apart from Henson breathed a sigh of relief. O’Neil said his company, Paramount Pawn & Jewelry, is sponsoring a two-day gun show at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center this coming weekend, and had no plans to cancel despite the massacre. ‘I would tell people who say it is the wrong time to have a gun show that it is absolutely the right time,’ he said. ‘There is a heightened fear in the community. Just this morning I have sold eight guns. ‘A woman who lives two doors down from Madeen’s parents sent her husband in to buy another gun. She never owned one herself, although he did. But she just doesn’t feel safe and wanted an extra weapon in the house.’ O’Neil said the weekend gun show is an ideal place to buy a gun because law enforcement officers will be on hand to give safety demonstrations — something that buyers would not get if they bought a weapon in a gun shop. He said it is quite possible the show will be protested, but he would not bow to any pressure to put it off.

50 Amber Heard 'calls police on ex Johnny Depp over restraining order' She filed a restraining order shortly after filing for divorce, citing multiple cases of domestic abuse. And on Monday TMZ reported that Amber Heard had called the cops suggesting that ex Johnny Depp was violating the order by sending his team to remove items from their Los Angeles home. Sources told the publication that LAPD officers that had been called to the scene responded to a 'possible violation of a court order.' The Pirates of the Caribbean star was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Amber, due to the temporary restraining order. It does include a 'move-out order,' though, which allows for the actor to pick up personal clothing and belongings needed until Friday's hearing. However, Amber's team thinks that Johnny is taking things a bit far, especially since the star is currently in the Bahamas. He had sent members of his team to retrieve furniture from the home as well as taking things down off of the walls. They insisted that the 'personal items' they were taking were within the scope of what the restraining order allows.

51 FIFA put through wringer again as Infantino complains over his shirt Joke world football rulers FIFA really have washed their dirty linen in public. FIFA president Gianni Infantino is heard on a leaked audio tape complaining about having to pay for his shirt, socks and underpants to be cleaned. The 17-minute recording of the murky FIFA Council meeting before the Congress in Mexico City has Infantino moaning that the internal witch-hunt against him included demands that he pay for his own laundry while on FIFA business. Infantino also tries to justify his attempt to dismiss the former audit and compliance chief Domenica Scala for offering him an ‘insulting’ £1.3million salary with no expenses when predecessor Sepp Blatter received twice as much in basic pay. Infantino also blames Scala, who has since resigned, for trying to engineer an ethics probe over how the new FIFA leader can afford to look for a £15m house in Zurich. Only England’s FIFA Council representative David Gill comes out of this latest Zurich fiasco with his reputation intact. Gill is heard strongly opposing the plan to summarily sack Scala — signed by the six Confederation heads without due process — asking how could he explain such a decision to the FA. Meanwhile, Infantino also says that the only FIFA executive meeting of which there was no audio recording is, surprise, surprise, the most corrupt one where the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes took place. England manager Roy Hodgson will be 69 in August but his daily fitness regime this week has included walking to the training ground while the players take the team bus. Ipswich football club owner Marcus Evans, a serial offender for selling pirate hospitality packages across all major sports, is again flouting rules at Euro 2016. British companies that are part of Evans’s empire are being sued by UEFA for their alleged involvement in the sale of unauthorised packages. A UEFA statement said: ‘The illegitimate sale of tickets at vast mark-ups takes tickets away from ordinary fans and also breaks the chain of custody for tickets that is indispensable for safety reasons.’ Whether psychologist Steve Peters has any effect on performances remains to be seen but at least he will be in France for the duration of England’s stay in the tournament. It was believed Peters had other duties that would mean him leaving the camp. But he has arranged his diary to concentrate on England football this month, meaning any work with the GB Taekwondo squad and his other Olympic clients will take place via Skype from Chantilly. More woe for Oliver Premier League elite referee Michael Oliver, whose father Clive resigned as chief executive of the Northumberland County FA following allegations about his inappropriate behaviour towards women, now has wife Lucy caught up in another sex scandal. Fellow referee Connor Mayes set up a fake Tinder account in Lucy’s name so he could flirt with men. It caused women’s FA Cup final assistant referee Lucy two years of online harassment. Hampshire County FA official Mayes was given a conditional caution by police and has been banned from refereeing and all football until January 2019. Lucy has also suffered from Northumberland County FA vice- president John Cummings using sexist language towards her that led to his resignation. BBC football commentator Alan Green revealed after the Marseille violence that he will not be going to the World Cup in Russia in 2018. But clever clogs Green, who has a new two-year contract, claims he made that decision after the 2008 Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester United in Moscow. England assistant Gary Neville’s non co-operation with the media means it will probably remain a mystery why on Monday he went out for a long bike ride from the team hotel with goalkeeping coach Dave Watson wearing a helmet, but returned without one.

52 AP FACT CHECK: Trump's speech needs some asterisks WASHINGTON (AP) — An annotated version of Donald Trump's speech on combatting terrorism would be heavy with asterisks. The presumptive GOP nominee's speech Monday painted a picture of a nation overrun by terrorists and with cowed leaders — including the State Department under Hillary Clinton's leadership — doing little to keep them out. The reality is far more complex. Clinton, too, spoke Tuesday about how to fight the terrorist issue, but relied on thin data in an implied scold of her GOP opponent. A look at some of the candidates' claims: TRUMP: "The burden is on Hillary Clinton to tell us why she believes immigration from these dangerous countries should be increased without any effective system to really screen. We're not screening people. " THE FACTS: Refugees entering the U. S. are subject to rigorous background checks, including a search of government databases that list people suspected of having ties to terrorist groups. Processing of refugees can take anywhere from 18 months to 24 months — and usually longer for those coming from Syria. Refugees are subject to in-person interviews overseas and are required to provide biographical data about themselves, including their families, friendships, social or political activities, employment, phone numbers, email addresses and other information, along with biometric information including fingerprints. The vetting process is led by the Homeland Security Department, with involvement from the State Department and U. S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies. For all that caution, though, U. S. officials have acknowledged there is a risk the Islamic State group could try to place operatives among refugees. Last year, FBI Director James Comey said data about people coming from Syria may be limited, adding, "If we don't know much about somebody, there won't be anything in our database. " ___ TRUMP: "Immigration from Afghanistan into the United States has increased nearly five-fold — five-fold in just one year. " THE FACTS: Data from the State Department suggests Trump is off the mark: In fiscal 2015, about 7,200 Afghans were admitted to the United States as either refugees or holders of a special immigrant visa, given mostly to Afghans who worked as translators or in another capacity helping U. S. forces in the country. The majority were in the latter category. That's down from 7,910 in fiscal 2014. The number is creeping up this year: Between Oct. 1, 2015, and May 31, 2016, 9,018 Afghans arrived. Most of them traveled on the special visa reserved for those who were helping the U. S., not refugees. It's possible Trump was relying on the Homeland Security Department's Yearbook of Immigration Statistics. It shows a nearly five-fold increase in the number of people from Afghanistan who became lawful permanent residents between 2013 and 2014, the most recent statistics available. But it is unclear from the government's data if all those people arrived during the same year they were granted permanent residency. ___ CLINTON: "Inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric" and a ban on Muslims entering the country, as Trump has advocated, are counterproductive. "It's no coincidence that hate crimes against American Muslims and mosques have tripled after Paris and San Bernardino. " THE FACTS: There are no official government data available for the period Clinton specified. Her campaign said the statistic came from a December report from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University-San Bernardino, which relied on a single month of U. S. media reports of "anti- Muslim hate crime attacks," beginning with the Nov. 13, 2015, date of the Paris attacks. It then compared that number with a different data source, the average monthly totals for the prior five years of anti-Muslim hate crimes reported to the FBI. The study's author, UC San Bernardino Professor Brian Levin, acknowledged limitations to his findings, including comparing disparate data sets. And because he measured only one month, he couldn't say whether the increase he observed in December persisted until now, as Clinton implied. Levin said reports of hate crimes generally peak in the month after a terror attack and then fall back to something near the average. ___ TRUMP: "Clinton's State Department was in charge of admissions and the admissions process for people applying to enter from overseas. Having learned nothing from these attacks, she now plans to massively increase admissions without a screening plan, including a 500 percent increase in Syrian refugees coming into our country. " THE FACTS: Between Oct. 1 and the end of May, the U. S. resettled about 2,800 Syrian refugees in the United States. President Barack Obama has pledged to bring 10,000 Syrians into the country this year. Since 2011, 5,763 Syrian refugees have been admitted to the United States. Clinton supports allowing in 65,000 refugees. That would be more than a 500 percent increase. But the vetting process is so lengthy and in depth that it would likely be difficult to speed up the pace without a major overhaul of the screening process or a big increase in resources. ___ TRUMP: Hillary Clinton "says the solution is to ban guns. ... Her plan is to disarm law-abiding Americans, abolishing the Second Amendment, and leaving only the bad guys and terrorists with guns. She wants to take away Americans' guns and then admit the very people who want to slaughter us. " THE FACTS: Trump is overstating Clinton's gun proposals. She supports a ban on certain military-style weapons, similar to the law President Bill Clinton signed in the 1990s. That ban expired after 10 years and has not been renewed. Clinton also backs an expansion of existing criminal background checks to apply to weapons sales at gun shows. The checks now apply mainly to sales by federally licensed gun dealers. Federal authorities have said the Orlando shooter legally obtained the weapons he used at the night club. The assault weapons ban barred AR-15 rifles, but the exact model used by Mateen may not have been covered by the ban. The AR-15-style firearm also was used in the mass shootings in San Bernardino, California, and Newtown, Connecticut. ___ CLINTON: "We have to do more to support our first responders, law enforcement and intelligence officers who do incredible work every day at great personal risk to keep our country safe. ... Too often, state and local officials can't get access to intelligence from the federal government that would help them do their jobs. We need to change that. " TRUMP: "We need an intelligence-gathering system second to none. Second to none. That includes better cooperation between state, local and federal officials — and with our allies. " THE FACTS: Neither candidate was specific about what kinds of improvements are needed in the federal government's relationship with state and local officials in the fight against terrorism. And it is too early in the Orlando investigation to know whether the federal government had failed to support state and local law enforcement or to share information that might have prevented the attack. But the need to support first responders and share information with local law enforcement has been a rallying cry since the 9/11 attacks. Billions of dollars have been provided to cities and states for counterterrorism efforts, and new policies and procedures have been put in place to share information. The federal government has provided billions in counterterrorism grants to first responders over the past 15 years, though the budget for these grants has been cut more recently. ___ Associated Press writers Jill Colvin in Manchester, N.

53 50 years later, paper apologizes for ignoring Ali's new name LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — For years after boxing great Cassius Clay adopted the Muslim faith and changed his name, his hometown paper refused to call him Muhammad Ali. Fifty years later, The Courier-Journal, Louisville's daily paper, apologized for continuing to call him Cassius Clay after he changed it in 1964. It did not consistently refer to him as Muhammad Ali until 1970. Ali died June 3 and an estimated 100,000 people lined the streets of Louisville to say goodbye to the city's most celebrated son during his funeral Friday. Executive Editor Neil Budde wrote Monday's editorial that chronicled how the paper for years either ignored Ali's preferred name or outright mocked it. "We won't even try to speculate what the motives of the editors in that era were," he wrote. "The CJ was certainly an early champion of civil rights and desegregation. Yet we took what in today's light is an oddly hostile approach on the specific issue of Ali's name, which did little to help race relations in a turbulent time. The paper was among many newspapers and magazines across the country that continued to call him Cassius Clay for years after he changed his name in keeping with his Islamic faith. Budde said reporter Joe Gerth researched the newspaper's history and editors debated the proper way to address it after Ali's death, as a series of planned memorials and spontaneous celebrations consumed the city for a week. The editors decided to issue a belated apology. He compared it to the Lexington Herald-Leader's front-page clarification in 2004, in which the paper apologized for having failed 40 years earlier to properly cover the civil rights movement.

54 ‘Good Wife’ Bosses Talk ‘BrainDead’ Inspiration: ‘We Were Noticing How Crazy People in DC Had Gotten’ After years of examining the intersection of law, politics and media with tongue firmly in cheek on CBS ’ “ The Good Wife ,” creators Robert and Michelle King have turned their satirical lens on Washington, D. C. itself for “ BrainDead ,” a political horror-comedy that somehow manages to be far less horrifying than the current political climate. While the show goes to extremes to explore the dangers of extremism, Michelle King admits that the hardest part of writing the show is “to make things seem as crazy as they do in reality.” The series stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Danny Pino, Aaron Tveit, Tony Shalhoub, Nikki M. James and Johnny Ray Gill. The Kings spoke to Variety about how “BrainDead” came about, their thoughts on politics in America today, and whether we’ll see many familiar faces from “The Good Wife” making an appearance. You’ve been exploring the absurdity of politics and the media for years with “The Good Wife,” so what was the genesis of “BrainDead” specifically? Robert King: The idea came from the government shutdown about two, two and a half years ago, when we were noticing just how crazy people in DC had gotten. The government almost defaulted on its loans, and it seemed to be out of emotional pique, or something. Analyses of it seemed to be that there was this lack of a spirit of compromise, and it was about extremists, and that made us think about the best genre to explore the idea of extremism in politics. Because we’re sci-fi and horror fans, that took us to “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” How do you feel about where we are in the current political landscape? In some ways, the show has perfect timing, but it also feels like it was a safe bet that things would escalate to the point we’re at now. Michelle King: We had no idea that this is where we would land when we first came up with the idea, in terms of where we are now with the presidential [race]. At this point it just feels like our job is hard to make things seem as crazy as they do in reality. Robert King: I think what has changed and then made things even more interesting in the last two years is the extremism most of us react to on the right – the Tea Party and – seems to be finding a similar rise on the left in Bernie Bros. There’s even talk about a political revolution of why does the Republican side have their Tea Party but the Democratic side does not? We wanted to be even-handed about how extremism is not occupied by one side or the other, but is more almost like an infection – as soon as one group of people go into government and say “we will only settle for a hundred percent of our needs,” it provokes the other side to do the same. TV Review: ‘BrainDead’ It seems kind of telling that Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character, Laurel, is from outside the world of politics – what makes her the right hero for this tale? Michelle King: We wanted somebody to be the audience’s eyes, someone who needed to learn a bit, even though she wasn’t completely naïve about politics. Robert King: We also liked the idea of how someone returns to their hometown, and the people in the hometown seem to have changed, and you’re never sure if it’s about the fact that you’ve been away and you’ve changed, so you’re reacting to them differently, or if they’ve changed. I think Laurel’s in that slightly paranoid place of trying to figure out “who’s the problem here?” What was the key to striking the right tone, since this is so much more comedic than “The Good Wife”? Robert King: We started with the idea of satisfying the needs of the genre; obviously, the topic we’re talking about could get kind of earnest and a little full of itself, so it seemed better to be entertaining. If you’re gonna give people genre, give it to them to the fullest. Same thing with “Good Wife” – if you’re giving them procedural, it better have some pretty good twists and turns in it, or people start feeling like “why am I watching this?” We wanted the same thing with “BrainDead.” On the other hand, we enjoy very real characters who have real reactions, and so once we got Mary Elizabeth Winstead in, obviously it was very clear that we needed to live in the world of both dramatic comedy and dramatics — treating these characters as real people, and that is probably the more “Good Wife” side of things. You have a couple of “Good Wife” alums in the show– how did you approach the casting process? I assume you didn’t want to make it a non- stop parade of familiar faces that might take viewers out of the narrative? Michelle King: That’s exactly right – plus they are different kinds of roles. We were so fortunate to get Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the center of it; she’s just fantastic, she does have that girl next door quality but she’s also able to sell jokes. Robert King: I do think it was similar to the process on “Good Wife.” Mark Saks was the casting director for both, and you’re really collaborative with the studio and the network; CBS had a good deal of opinions on things – they’re always looking for people who can deliver both sides of the genre. And we loved working with some of the “Good Wife” people, and also some other actors who we’re having back now over the course of the series – Margo Martindale is coming back … Some people that we really enjoyed working with and tried to get back. How did you come up with the design for the creatures preying on the brains of Washington’s elite? Robert King: The first instinct was always the instinct we went with – scarier than big monsters to us is going down to the kitchen at midnight to get a snack, turning on the light and seeing a line of ants anywhere, that’s creepier and scarier to us because that’s something you don’t usually see in reality. There was this real feeling to domesticate the horror, to make it something you could come upon in your day to day. I can’t tell you how many horrible pictures we’ve seen of real bugs crawling into people’s real ears – that’s just a terrifying thought. So we try not to have it being a gross-out, some of it’s meant to look comic and hyper-real, but we did want the line of bugs to be, in theory, in plain sight. These are not monsters that have to be hid, they’re monsters that are as tiny as ants and that’s why people don’t think twice about it when they see them. What are you hoping people will take away from the show, given the intensity of the current political climate? Michelle King: I would hope that they would be amused, and also recognize the political satire of how difficult it is to get anything done when everyone becomes more extreme and lives in their own extreme bubbles. Robert King: If they would follow the lead of the two characters, Laurel and Garrett (Tveit), who are as different as two people could be and find that they really like talking to each other. I think we’re all living in our little bubbles and not talking to people who have different opinions. It’s like what some of “The Good Wife” was about – not a lot of it, but some of it – people are living in their political bubbles, which is making everyone a little more intensely partisan. “BrainDead” premieres Monday, June 13 at 10 p.m. on CBS.

55 Bale will relish big-game spotlight against England, claims Coleman Chris Coleman has told Roy Hodgson that Gareth Bale is ready to back up his claims Wales have more passion and pride than England by performing on the pitch. The Wales manager insisted the Real Madrid star was not showing disrespect with his bold words, explaining Bale was emphasising the closeness within their camp. Bale lit the blue touchpaper on Euro 2016 by calling England ‘the enemy’ and saying they ‘big themselves up before they’ve done anything’, with Hodgson describing the comments as ‘disrespectful’. But ahead of Wales facing England in two days time, Coleman defended his main player and described how his side need to possess the kind of winning mentality he was demonstrating. He said: ‘Gareth is the most down to earth boy you could wish to meet. He is not a disrespectful kid. I can understand where Roy was coming from, but I think Gareth meant it in in a way of being seen as “little old Wales". 'I have said myself, for a long time, we have always settled for too little. We have settled for too long for, “We did really well, we nearly got something. " Or, “We nearly got there" and we have settled for that. 'To go that extra mile, we have got to be a bit different to what has gone before. We have got to want it a bit more. We have got to offer a bit more. 'Gareth was simply saying, “We are a small nation. We are a tight nation. Little things mean more to us than to the bigger nations. " I understand where Roy is coming from, but Gareth was not being disrespectful.' Coleman believes Bale will do the business on the pitch, like he did against Slovakia by scoring a brilliant free-kick. He drew on the example from before the Champions League final, when Bale was criticised for saying not one Atletico player would get in Real’s side but went on to provide an assist in a terrific display and convert a penalty in the shootout. 'If you look at the Champions League final, Gareth made a comment in that – something about Atletico Madrid,’ said Coleman. 'But he want in to the final, played really well, and scored a goal. 'I don’t think Gareth has got a problem with backing anything up. I think he looks forward to the great challenges, the big spotlight, and the pressure. If he didn’t enjoy it, then he wouldn’t be where he is. He will be relishing this challenge on Thursday.’ Coleman said Bale could play up front again, although he will be tempted to start match-winner Hal Robson-Kanu, allowing the world’s most expensive player to drop to his customary deeper position. 'There’s an option there,’ said Coleman. ‘Or I could put him back in the normal role he plays for us. But I think that we have got until Thursday to work on one or two pieces. 'I was more than happy with him at the weekend. He scored a great free-kick and had a couple of good chances playing in the No 9 role. So there will be a chat with him and we will look to see if we will keep him there or move him.'

56 KemPharm says U. S. FDA does not approve its painkiller June 13 (Reuters) - KemPharm Inc said the U. S. health regulator did not approve its abuse-deterrent version of a painkiller, sending the drug developer's shares down more than 30 pct in extended trade. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration's decision on the company's marketing application for Apadaz was conveyed via a complete response letter. Such letters typically outline concerns and conditions that must be addressed to gain regulatory approval. KemPharm said it is evaluating points raised in the letter and intends to request a meeting with the FDA to discuss the way forward for the drug. Shares of KemPharm closed at $6.29 on Monday.

57 Philadelphia teen killed in nightclub attack called her mom PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The mother of a Philadelphia teenager who was among the 49 people killed in the Florida nightclub attack said she was on the phone with her wounded daughter as she cowered in a bathroom stall hiding from the shooter. Akyra Murray, who turned 18 in January, is one of the youngest victims in the weekend attack. Natalie Murray spoke with The Associated Press on Monday as she and her husband drove to the county coroner's office to claim their daughter's body. Last Monday, Murray graduated third in her class of 42 students at West Catholic Preparatory High School, where she had also been a 1,000-point scorer on the basketball team. She had recently signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Mercyhurst University in Erie. To celebrate her graduation, Akyra Murray, her parents and her 4-year-old sister traveled to Orlando for a family vacation. Her brother, Alex, attends college in West Palm Beach. On Saturday, Murray told her parents she wanted to party in downtown Orlando. "She doesn't drink, she just wanted to have a good time," Natalie Murray recalled. "We dropped her off at 11:30. " At about 2 a.m., Akyra Murray sent a text message to her mother, telling her to pick up her and her cousins. She said there had been a shooting. Moments later, the phone rang. "She was saying she was shot and she was screaming, saying she was losing a lot of blood," Natalie Murray said. Her parents sped back to the club from nearby Kissimmee, frantically trying to reach the teenager, who had been shot in the arm. "I just tried to tell her to remain calm and apply pressure to the wound," Natalie Murray said. "All I could hear was my baby screaming. " Murray said her daughter was hiding in a bathroom stall, her arm bleeding for hours with no medical treatment. Akyra Murray told her mother to call police and send help before the two hung up. They never spoke again. "It was devastating," Natalie Murray said. For 27 hours, Murray said the family searched Orlando-area hospitals looking for Akyra. "We just wanted to know for ourselves," she said. "We wanted somebody to tell us something. " Late Monday morning, after calling a hotline set up by city officials, they received the news of her death. Akyra Murray's father, Albert, posted several social media messages about his daughter after the shooting. He first asked for prayers as he tried to locate her. "I've been waiting since 2:30am," he wrote late Sunday morning. "She was calling saying come get me I've been shot. Losing a lot of blood... Can't find my daughter. Been here 9 hrs. " On Monday afternoon, Albert Murray wrote: "I lost my daughter, one of the greatest inspirations in my life. " He later posted: "I know she is in a safer place then (sic) America... You can't even go on vacation. "

58 Catholic teenager subjected to 'sustained course of victimisation and bullying' A Catholic teenager was tied to a wooden cross and hung from a wall in a "sustained course of victimisation and bullying" by work colleagues, a court has heard. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also had religious and phallic symbols drawn on his face and body with permanent marker, York Crown Court was told. Four men have gone on trial accused of religiously aggravated assault against the teenager, who was aged between 17 and 18 at the time. Austin Newman, opening the case for the prosecution, told the jury of five men and seven women the boy obtained an apprenticeship at a shopfitting company in Selby, North Yorkshire, in July 2014. During his apprenticeship, he worked on jobs in London, the South East and Yorkshire with the four defendants: company manager Andrew Addison, Joseph Rose, Christopher Jackson and Alex Puchir. Mr Newman said: "These defendants are charged variously on counts of religiously aggravated assault by beating and putting a person in fear of violence by harassment. "These counts are designed to cover what the prosecution contends was a sustained course of victimisation and bullying of a young man in the work place. " He added: "He was subjected to acts of bullying, which the Crown say went beyond anything that could reasonably be described as banter or high jinx in the workplace. " Mr Newman said the boy was a practising Roman Catholic and told the jury the defendants were motivated by hostility based on his religious observance. Addison, 30, Jackson, 22, and Puchir, 37, are accused of tying the boy to a wooden cross and hanging him from a wall "in a way which resembled a crucifixion", Mr Newman said. The prosecutor said the three men "tied" the teenager on to a cross, which had been fashioned from two lengths of wood and attached to a piece of plasterboard, with duct tape before leaving him suspended about a metre above the ground for around 10 minutes. On another occasion, Rose, 21, is accused of using a permanent marker to draw crosses and penises across a large proportion of the boy's body and face while he was asleep. Mr Newman said: "The crown say that the crosses in particular were an indication of the hostility towards (the boy) based on his religious observance. " The barrister said it took a number of days to remove the symbols and the boy was left with sore skin due to having to scrub at the marks. Rose is also accused of spraying deodorant towards the boy's head and lighting it while he was asleep in bed, the court heard. Mr Newman told the jury the teenager only avoided serious injury by pulling a duvet cover over his head as Rose lit the deodorant, causing a "ball of flame that narrowly missed (the boy's) head". The prosecutor said Addison took photographs of the incident on his mobile phone. Addison is also accused of tying the teenager to a chair with duct tape and cable ties and leaving him locked in a room by himself and giving the boy a "wedgie" by pulling his underpants up so forcibly he was lifted off his feet and suffered cuts and bruises to his buttocks, the court heard. Mr Newman said Addison remained silent when interviewed by police after his arrest in May 2015. The other three defendants accepted their involvement in the incidents but claimed they were part of general workplace "banter", the jury heard. Addison, of Selby, and Rose, of Bubwith, East Yorkshire, both deny putting a person in fear of violence by harassment and religiously aggravated assault by beating. Addison also denies a charge of assault by beating. Jackson, of Barlby, North Yorkshire, and Puchir, of Edinburgh, Scotland, both deny religiously aggravated assault by beating. The trial was adjourned until Tuesday.

59 England coach Jones hits back at Australia jibes: 'We are not cheats' Eddie Jones dismissed Australian claims that England were guilty of scrum cheating in Brisbane by claiming his pack can dominate the Wallabies legally — while also returning fire with talk of Australian weaknesses. The circus ringmaster is in his element as this series unfolds. Jones is setting the agenda Down Under. England’s wily head coach raged with indignation about a lack of respect from the host nation after his side’s 39-28 victory in the series opener. Amid an ‘orchestrated campaign’ by Australian ex-players and media to undermine the tourists, he stirred the pot again ahead of Saturday’s second Test at AAMI Park in Melbourne. In the aftermath of the first encounter three days ago, former Wallabies captain Phil Kearns claimed Dan Cole was scrummaging illegally as he took control against Australia loosehead Scott Sio, who was eventually sent to the sin-bin. ‘Dan Cole was angling right in the whole time,’ he said. ‘It’s obvious to see. Cole was dominant but referees, take a long, hard look at yourself.’ Jones rejected the cheating accusations, saying: ‘Every side I coach, I coach them to play legally. We want to play legally, we want to scrum straight, we want to scrum square and we want to scrum at them. ‘We were disappointed on the weekend that we weren’t allowed to scrum at them. A couple of times when we were allowed to scrum, we took them. ‘It’s an area we want to dominate. We’ll make sure our scrum is well prepared, we’ll be ready for any tricks the Australians have. I’ve got great confidence in Craig Joubert — he won’t let Phil Kearns referee the game. If Phil Kearns was refereeing, Australia would win every game. ‘Phil is part of an organised campaign, he is playing his role and playing it well. It’s Dan Cole’s turn. It’ll be someone else next. Maybe me. I hope they keep taking me because it takes the pressure off the team. Dan’s been around the traps. He knows what to expect.’ Having been forced on to the defensive, Jones swiftly went on the attack. Asked where the Wallabies needed to improve, he said: ‘Their lineout has been under pressure. I’m sure (Wallabies captain) Stephen Moore, a seasoned international with 100 Tests, will be worried about that.’ Jones twisted the knife, adding: ‘The physicality of the game. That’s an area I’m sure the Wallabies were disappointed with. Scrummaging is another area they will look to address. Maybe they will start with (Sekope) Kepu but we don’t know what condition he’s come back from France in.’ England’s head coach even turned the heat on the home union and their chief executive, Bill Pulver, who issued reassurances about the state of the AAMI Park pitch — which has been in a dire state during the Super Rugby season. Jones said, pointedly: ‘Hopefully the surface will be good. Bill Pulver has a lot on his plate but I’m sure he will make sure it is right. I’ve heard (about the pitch) and watched games on TV but both teams have to play on it so why worry? All I have to do is hope that the ARU and Bill Pulver get it right.’ Mike Brown, James Haskell and Courtney Lawes all missed training but Jones insisted the trio were merely rested and that they will join the squad as normal on Tuesday. During the session, George Ford and Owen Farrell were operating in tandem as the 10-12 double act, raising the prospect of the pair being reunited from the start on Saturday. As well as pairings, Jones acknowledged the importance of individuals, saying: ‘It only takes one player to get complacent. Complacency is around the corner and you need to make sure it doesn’t come in.’ 2016-06-13 21:36 Chris Foy www.dailymail.co.uk

60 Tonys audience largest since 2001, viewers up by 2.2 million NEW YORK (AP) — The wild popularity of "Hamilton" on Broadway translated into huge bump in ratings for the Tony Awards — the CBS' telecast on Sunday beat last year's audience by more than 2 million viewers. The broadcast drew 8.73 million viewers, up 35 percent from last year, according to preliminary ratings from the Nielsen Co. It is the largest audience for the show since 2001, the year "The Producers" won a record 12 Tonys. Oscar- and Tony-winning producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, whose work encompasses film, television and theater, said they were impressed with how the show managed to acknowledge the tragedy in Florida and yet keep people entertained. The show in New York came only hours after a gunman opened fire on patrons at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, prompting Broadway performers to rush to embrace the LGBT community and leaving the show under a grim shadow. "I thought they handled it with incredible grace, with being the epitome of what show business is about," said Meron. "They were sending a message that the art of what this country does will not be stopped and that art can send a message — be entertaining yet underlined with a powerful message. " Host James Corden, spoke directly to the camera when he dedicated the night to celebrating the diversity of Broadway. "Hate will never win. Together we have to make sure of that. Tonight's show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle," he said. The shooting threatened to put a damper on the victory lap for "Hamilton," Lin-Manuel Miranda's hip-hop-flavored biography about the first U. S. treasury secretary. Some performers made reference to the Florida carnage on their acceptance speeches. Meron compared Corden's task as akin to Ellen DeGeneres role as host of the Emmy Awards right after 9/11. "She managed to infuse the show with humor without forgetting the tragedy," he said. "She really showed the defiance of the art we all do and how important it is to keep on moving forward. " Zadan and Meron know how hard big live events on TV can be, having produced the Oscarcast as well as live TV theatrical events including "The Wiz Live! " and "Peter Pan Live! " Zadan was impressed by Corden and knew he'd be funny and charming. "You just knew he was going to turn out to be a good host. But he really didn't overstay his welcome. He handled himself really beautifully. And he fit in really perfectly," said Zadan. "He did something I've never seen anybody do on the Tonys: He created a pacing for the show that flew by. " The ratings leap was even more pronounced in the key 18-to-49-year-old demographic, with that rating notching a 60 percent increase from 2015. Last year's telecast — hosted by Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth — was watched by 6.46 million viewers. In 2014, it reached 7.02 million and captured 7.24 million in 2013. ___ Mark Kennedy can be reached at http://twitter.com/KennedyTwits

61 Brooklyn Beckham posts sweet picture of himself and Chloe Moretz They're currently separated by the Atlantic Ocean. And the distance appeared to be getting to Brooklyn Beckham as he took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of him and his girlfriend, Chloe Grace Moretz, 19. The 17- year-old wasn't afraid to show his true feelings as he captioned the loved-up black and white snap: 'When you're missing bae,' which he accompanied with a sad face. Scroll down for video The couple confirmed their romance earlier this year and made their red carpet debut in May at the premier of Chloe's latest film, Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising, where the candid photo was taken. A jovial Chloe is seen to giggle flirtatiously in the image, while a besotted Brooklyn looks adoring at his older girlfriend. So it's no surprise that the post has attracted the attention of Brooklyn's fans, with over 240,000 people descending on social media to like the photo. The pair made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising premiere last month. And Chloe shared a flashback photo to the special evening on her Instagram, uploading a heartwarming picture of boyfriend Brooklyn gazing into her eyes. The actress can be seen from the back, clad in a quirky black dress with her blonde locks swept back in a low bun. The eldest Beckham boy, who was looking dapper in a formal suit, casts her an adoring look. 'Hey @brooklynbeckham I like the way ya look at me, that's all :)', Chloe captioned the shot. The couple have been practically inseparable in recent weeks, but Brooklyn was spotted flying solo and enjoying a skateboarding session in London on Friday. Chloe showed off her new tattoo earlier this week, lifting up her T-shirt to reveal the inking in a snap shared by tattoo artist to the stars, Jon Boy. The Carrie star visited the tattoo parlour with her boyfriend Brooklyn Beckham when she was staying in Los Angeles last week. Jon Boy revealed that Chloe got her grandmother’s name, Janette Duke, in cursive script. Once the actress's art was completed, Jon Boy handed over the tattoo gun to let her give it a whirl on his forearm. He shared a video of the moment, writing simply 'Pro'. Chloe was pictured in a black t-shirt and denim shorts for the tattoo session and wore a dainty gold chain around her neck. The actress already has several tattoos including her family members' initials tattooed down her thigh. The Kick-Ass beauty just got back from a week long vacation in Los Angeles with her 17-year-old beau. She also recently wrapped on her upcoming Charlize Therone produced film Brain on Fire. The movie is a film adaptation of Susannah Cahalan's memoir and stars Tyler Perry, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jenny Slate, Thomas Mann and Richard Armitage. Chloë stars in the film as a young woman struggling with a rare auto-immune condition that causes violent episodes and delusions. Meanwhile she is soon to start work on a new movie adaptation of The Little Mermaid. Currently the only name confirmed for the hotly-anticipated flick, it is being touted as a retelling of the famous fairy tale by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. It tells the story of a mermaid princess who saves a human prince on their birthday, falls in love with him, yearns for his love and a human soul, and bargains her fish-tail for legs with the Sea Witch.

62 CME, Bats closely monitor markets ahead of Brexit vote By Tom Polansek CHICAGO, June 13 (Reuters) - Global exchange operators are scrutinizing trading activity ahead of Britain's vote on whether to leave the EU amid expectations the referendum may spark sharp moves in currencies and other markets. CME Group Inc, one of the world's biggest financial exchange operators, "will be continuously and actively monitoring for market impacts" related to the June 23 vote from its Global Command Center in Chicago, according to a notice sent to customers on Monday. The command center, which is CME's market operations and customer service desk for electronic trading, will "take any action it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to preserve market integrity," the notice said. Actions ahead of the vote could include modifying limits on price fluctuations and messaging. A British exit would rock the European Union, already shaken by differences over migration and the future of the euro zone, by ripping away its second-largest economy, one of its top two military powers and by far its richest financial center. Britain's "Out" campaign has widened its lead over the "In" camp ahead of the vote, according to two opinion polls published by ICM on Monday. They are the latest to suggest that momentum has swung toward the "Out" camp, unsettling investors. As the vote nears, Bats Global Markets Inc, the second- largest U. S. equities market operator, "will be engaged in detailed monitoring of all trading on the Bats markets, and the market overall," a spokesman said. A Brexit would probably be negative for overall equity market volumes, Mark Hemsley, chief executive officer of Bats Europe, has told Reuters. Many analysts reckon an exit vote also would send sterling tumbling by 15 percent to 20 percent, while a vote to stay would likely drive the currency sharply higher.

63 Police allow return of MKs to Temple Mount The Knesset Ethics Committee is expected to approve a recommendation to allow lawmakers to ascend the Temple Mount again after a seven-month ban, in a vote scheduled for Tuesday. In a meeting with Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein and Knesset Legal Adviser Eyal Yinon, Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh said the police have reassessed the situation on the Temple Mount, and it is once again safe for MKs to visit. The outline the police recommended is that Muslim MKs be allowed to ascend the mount during the last week of Ramadan, and after that, all legislators will be allowed to visit the site. The Ethics Committee had hitherto prohibited them from visiting the Temple Mount. Such a visit would amount to an ethical violation. The decision was based on a police recommendation, which held that such visits could provoke violence. The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, where both Holy Temples once stood. Currently, al-Aksa Mosque stands atop the mount, which is administered by the Jordanian Wakf Muslim religious trust. The Wakf bans all non-Muslim prayer in the entire plaza, and together with Palestinians not acting in an official capacity, often harasses Jewish visitors. Last autumn, when the recent wave of violence began, the Islamic Movement and terrorist groups claimed Israel was trying to change the status quo on the Temple Mount and even destroy the mosque, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emphatically denied. This claim has been trotted out many times to provoke violence, as early as in the 1929 Hebron Massacre. Last month, several Joint List MKs announced their intention to visit the mount during Ramadan despite the ban. Joint List MK Masud Gnaim wrote a letter to Edelstein on behalf of himself and MKs Abdel-Hakim Haj Yahya and Taleb Abu Arar, all from the United Arab List which is aligned with the Islamic Movement’s southern branch, stating that they “intend to enter al-Aksa Mosque and pray in it during the month of the fast of Ramadan. Fulfilling this religious commandment is a basic right, and part of our lifestyle as Muslims and religious people.” MK Yousef Jabareen (Joint List), the sole member of the Ethics Committee who voted against the ban, wrote a letter to the panel’s chairman, MK Yitzhak Vaknin (Shas), asking that it be overturned. The requests came the same week Temple Mount activist Yehudah Glick was sworn in as a Likud MK. Glick said he would honor the ban, despite his dedication to equal rights for Jews at the site, and he petitioned an ethics complaint against Gnaim for saying he would knowingly violate it. In November 2014, Glick survived an assassination attempt by Mutaz Hijazi, an Arab from Jerusalem who shot Glick in the chest four times and called him “an enemy of al-Aksa.”

64 Two Iraqis first to claim damages in person over Iraq war 'mistreatment' Two Iraqi civilians have become the first to claim damages in person at the High Court in London for alleged unlawful detention and mistreatment by UK armed forces. Previous similar cases arising out of the Iraq war and its aftermath have been dealt with on the basis of written statements and submissions made by lawyers. Abd Al-Waheed and Kamil Najim Alseran are the first to come before an English judge to give evidence in person, say their lawyers. On the first day of a five-week hearing, Mr Al-Waheed told the court that he was "truly terrified" after being arrested by British troops and kicked and beaten with rifle butts before being taken away for interrogation. He is continuing to give evidence before Mr Justice Leggatt. The Ministry of Defence is denying allegations that the men were treated unlawfully. The two cases are lead cases, with more than 600 similar claims currently in the pipeline from the period 2003-2009. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has already settled hundreds of other claims in what has become known as the Iraqi litigation. A hurdle the latest claims have to overcome is a Supreme Court ruling in May. The MoD argues the ruling upholds a three-year limitation period under Iraqi law which prevents the cases going ahead in England. Richard Hermer QC, appearing for both men, opened the hearing by saying the fact that the men's claims arose out of the activities of the British Army in military operations to promote the stability and security of Iraq was not a reason to deny them redress. In Mr Al-Waheed's case, there were "grave allegations" of unlawful detention and mistreatment which, if proved, "amounted to torture" at the hands of British troops, said the QC. He was "an innocent civilian" arrested after midnight on the night of February 11-12 2007 in Basra in southern Iraq after soldiers raided his wife's family home searching for an insurgent IED operator. His experiences, including beatings, interrogations and being held in solitary confinement for 13 days, had had a devastating impact on his life, said Mr Hermer. Mr Alseran's claim of mistreatment was not as severe, but still raised grave allegations of mistreatment, Mr Hermer added. Giving evidence via an interpreter, Mr Al- Waheed, 53, told the court he was staying with his second wife, Nazhat, at her family's house in the centre of Basra, when British soldiers carried out a raid. The soldiers threw him forcefully to the floor and he fell face down. "Then they attacked me viciously and hit me with their rifle butts and kicked me with their boots," he alleged. "They were brutal. They hit me randomly anywhere they could and everywhere on my body. "The soldiers were screaming as well. I think they did that to intimidate us, and I was truly terrified. "This attack continued and shortly afterwards I ceased to feel pain. I went into a state of shock. " Derek Sweeting QC, appearing for the MoD, cross-examined Mr Al-Waheed and suggested that he had changed his account over what had happened at the house and on the journey to Basra Airport where he was interrogated. The hearing continues tomorrow.

65 Rule aims to protect students from rogue for- profit schools WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is trying to make it easier for students who have been misled or defrauded by their colleges to have their loans forgiven. The Education Department says a rule proposed Monday would lay out a clear relief process for borrowers who believe they were lied to about job prospects after college or otherwise deceived in order to enroll in the school. It also aims to hold schools accused of fraud or at financial risk more accountable by requiring them to notify prospective and enrolled students, as well as set aside money that could help cover future claims against the school. The proposal follows the collapse last year of Corinthian Colleges, one of the largest for-profit college companies. "A college degree remains one of the best investments anyone can make in his or her future," Education Secretary John B. King Jr. said on a call with reporters. "But that's only true if it's a meaningful degree that helps you land a better job, not if it's a worthless piece of paper that's an artifact of deception rather than proof of accomplishment. " Undersecretary Ted Mitchell said the new regulations, expected to take effect in July 2017, "would replace a complicated uneven and burdensome standard that varies by state with a new robust federal standard that will allow easy use by students. " The proposal would streamline debt relief for groups of students if they all experienced the same misconduct by a school, such as instances of wide misrepresentation — meaning they all wouldn't have to file individual applications for loan forgiveness. The new provisions also would bar colleges from forbidding students from class-action lawsuits as part of enrollment agreements, something Corinthian had done. The Debt Collective, a New York-based group that has lobbied to have the student loans of Corinthian students canceled, was cautious in its response. "What the department released today amounts to little more than a loose statement of intention to do right by student debtors after decades of collaboration with corrupt for-profits," spokeswoman Laura Hanna said in a statement. The group is concerned the education secretary would have too much power in deciding relief to groups of borrowers. A whistleblower raised concerns about Corinthian in early 2011, alleging that employees of the for-profit chain fabricated employers to make it appear as though unemployed graduates had secured good jobs in their careers of study. California's attorney general filed a lawsuit in 2013, alleging rampant lies to students about job placement. Corinthian filed for bankruptcy protection last year, closing schools and leaving thousands of students with hefty debt and frustrated their efforts to earn degrees. The Education Department continues to vet thousands of requests from Corinthian students for relief from their federal loans. So far, it has erased the debt for more than 8,800 former Corinthian students, totaling more than $132 million. But that's only a small fraction of the estimated $3.6 billion in federal loans given to Corinthian students.

66 Martin Keown's Euro 2016 Group F big match analysis Cristiano Ronaldo makes his first Euro 2016 appearance as Portugal kick off their campaign against minnows Iceland in Group F. The Real Madrid star will be as important as ever to his country as they pursue glory in France and will know do doubt make sure his he is centre of attention in Saint- Etienne. The other Group F clash is more low-key and sees Austria go head-to-head with neighbours Hungary. Austria have a talented group of players and if they can repeat their qualifying form they could be the tournament's dark horses. Ahead of kick-off, Sportsmail 's Martin Keown offers his assessment of Group F's opening round of fixtures. Marko Arnautovic’s hard graft vital to Austria success With Portugal so strong in Group F, these two will be slugging it out to finish second and whoever wins this game will feel very strongly they will reach the knockout stages. Austria were superb in qualifying — winning nine and drawing one of their 10 matches — and Marko Arnautovic will be key to their success in France after his fine season with Stoke. The forward weighed in with 11 goals for Mark Hughes’s men and has shown he is much more prepared to be a team player, often chasing back to help out the defenders. Hungary are a side who build out from the back through playmaker Adam Nagy, while captain Balazs Dzsudzsak likes to run at defenders and can be dangerous on the wing. If goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly features he will become the oldest ever player at the Euros — and I don’t think he’s changed his trademark tracksuit bottoms in all those 40 years. VERDICT: Austria to win. KEY STAT: This is the 137th meeting between Austria and Hungary. No two European countries have played each other more. BIG MATCH BET: They’re next-door neighbours but there’s a gulf in class between them and Austria to win giving away one goal on the handicap is 11-5. Portugal’s midfield powerhouse is key Portugal are the favourites to win the group and are expected to beat Iceland here. All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo but I have been really impressed by the Portugal midfield. In Danilo and Joao Moutinho they have two very athletic, powerful midfielders who provide the platform for Ronaldo and Nani to attack with pace. They have plenty of options and 18-year-old midfielder Renato Sanches can excite from the bench. Iceland would probably rather have played Austria or Hungary first but will play without fear and it will be a bonus if they can pinch anything from the game. Gylfi Sigurdsson is as important to Iceland as Ronaldo is to Portugal and this could be a perfect opportunity for him to shine. I have often praised the Swansea midfielder — he is a very intelligent player with good technique but doesn’t get the credit he deserves. VERDICT: Portugal to win. KEY STAT: While this is Iceland’s debut, joint boss Lars Lagerback has been to three Euros, leading Sweden in 2000, 2004 and 2008. BIG MATCH BET: Iceland’s last five games produced 22 goals. Throw Cristiano Ronaldo into the mix and we could be in for a bonanza this evening. Over 4.5 goals is 17-2.

67 Qatar convicts Dutch tourist who says she was raped Doha - Qatar is to deport a Dutch woman who was convicted of adultery on Monday and given a one-year suspended sentence after she reported being raped while on holiday in Doha. The 22-year-old, known only as Laura and who was not in court, was also fined 3 000 Qatari riyals (€710) and will be deported once she pays the fine, court officials said. She had denied the charge against her. The male defendant, said by a court official to be Syrian and named as Omar Abdullah al-Hasan, was sentenced to 100 lashes for having illicit sex and 40 lashes for drinking alcohol. Hasan, who was also not present in court, will undergo a medical examination to see if he is fit enough to withstand his punishment. He will not serve any time in jail, but will also be deported from the Gulf state once he has been punished. Dutch ambassador to Qatar Yvette Burghgraef-van Eechoud, who was present in the packed courtroom, told reporters that the embassy would help Laura to leave Qatar. "We will do everything to get her out of the country as soon as possible to where she wants to go," Eechoud said. The envoy added that she expected Laura to leave Qatar within the next few days. The ambassador added that she had spoken to Laura on Sunday and said that "under the circumstances she was doing fine". 'So happy' In the Netherlands, Laura's mother said she had not yet spoken to her daughter but was "so happy" at the news of her release. "I do not know yet when she gets home, but this is not most important," she told the Dutch television NOS website. "The most important is that she gets home... I am so happy," she said. Laura was arrested on March 14 and has since been held in custody. Her lawyer previously said that the incident happened after she had visited a Doha hotel. "She went dancing, but when she returned to the table after the first sip of her drink, she realised that" she had been drugged, Brian Lokollo has said. "She really didn't feel very well," he added. The young woman remembers nothing more until the following morning when she woke up in a totally unfamiliar apartment "and realised to her great horror, that she had been raped", Lokollo said. The male defendant had insisted that their night together had been consensual and that the woman had even asked for money. Adultery, or illicit sex, is treated as a serious crime in the conservative emirate. But the case provoked an international outcry with many people appalled by the treatment of an alleged rape victim and an online campaign using the #freelaura hashtag to try to draw attention to the Dutch woman's imprisonment. Nicholas McGeehan, Gulf researcher at Human Rights Watch, said the case demonstrated that "proper procedures and investigation are needed to avoid such cases in the future". 2016-06-13 22:33 www.news24.com

68 Microsoft strikes USD 26.2-bn deal to buy LinkedIn New York : Microsoft Corporation will buy LinkedIn Corp for USD 26.2 billion in its biggest-ever deal announced today, giving the world's biggest software provider access to online network of 433 million professionals. Microsoft will pay USD 196 per share in an all-cash transaction, a 49.5 per cent premium to LinkedIn's closing price on Friday. Microsoft While LinkedIn will retain its brand, culture and independence, Microsoft will speed up the monetisation by growing individual and organisation subscriptions as well as through targeted advertising. Jeff Weiner will remain chief executive of LinkedIn and report to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Reid Hoffman, chairman of LinkedIn's board and the company's controlling shareholder, said the deal has his full support. Microsoft is looking at combining LinkedIn services to make workers more productive by revealing connections and data that might otherwise take additional steps to find. That could increase the value of Microsoft's Office to customers. In India, LinkedIn has about 650 employees and R&D operations in Bengaluru. LinkedIn started out in the living room of co-founder Hoffman in 2002 and was officially launched on May 5 in 2003. It has seen 19 per cent growth year-on-year to more than 433 million members worldwide while quarterly member page views rose 34 per cent to over 45 billion. Over 92 million users came from Asia and the Pacific region. In the first quarter of 2016, LinkedIn's revenue increased 35 per cent y-o-y to reach USD 861 million. It had forecast its revenue for the full year 2016 to be in the range of USD 3.65-3.7 billion. "Just as we have changed the way the world connects to opportunity, this relationship with Microsoft and the combination of their cloud and LinkedIn's network now gives us a chance to also change the way the world works," Weiner said. "I have always had a great admiration for LinkedIn," said Nadella. "I have been talking with Reid and Jeff for a while... I have been thinking about this for a long time. "

70 News anchor finds her doppelganger at another station Chicago news anchor Robin Baumgarten finally met the doppelganger dozens of viewers have long told her she had. The three-time Emmy Award winner and WGN Morning News presenter skyped her lookalike, Whitney Martin, during Friday's show. Many people had called in to report the similarities between the two - though Baumgarten had mixed feelings about the meeting. 'What person doesn't want to hear there's a younger version of her?' she sarcastically commented. However Baumgarten quickly came around and congratulated Martin on her career, joking she was the 'nicer version' of herself. Martin has been at CBS in Rockford, after starting at the network as an intern. She now works as the morning news anchor. 'You're on your way up in your career and I'm just ready to ride it out,' Baumgarten said. 'You seem delightful.' Baumgarten also had some advice for Martin on how not to become too bitter or jaded working in the industry. 'It's great to see you. Keep up the smiling. Don't let the business get to you,' she said. Martin replied saying that Baumgarten has excellent dress sense, after the first photo of the women surfaced with both appearing to be wearing the same dress. In 2004, Robin became the main anchor of WGN Morning News, from 5:30 am to 9 am. When the show expanded in 2013, she extended her duties again to cover the 6-10 am hours, according to WGN. Robin received a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is a proud Illini alumna. She is a lifelong Chicagoan, born and raised in South suburban Burbank, and has two daughters. Martin joined the 23 News Team in March 2007 and has since covered news on both sides of the camera as a photographer and reporter, according to CBS. Martin was promoted to the anchor chair in 2010 and was recently awarded a Silver Dome Award for 'Best TV Reporter' in the state. She was also recognized by the Illinois Broadcasters Association as one of the 'Best Photographers' and 'Best Anchors' in the market and was honored by the Associated Press for her feature writing.

71 71 Profitable is ready to cash in on Royal Ascot's rain-softened ground Clive Cox believes in-form sprinter Profitable will cope with the rain-softened ground as the King’s Stand Stakes contender leads a three- horse attack for the trainer on the major prizes on day one of Royal Ascot. Improved Profitable has wins this season in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket and the Temple Stakes at Haydock. That last run saw him beat soft-ground lover Mecca’s Angel, one of the meeting’ s best backed horses with conditions swinging in her favour at rain-hit Ascot. Mecca’s Angel is the 2-1 favourite compared to Profitable’s odds of 5-1. But Cox feels that his four-year-old’s neck win on Good to soft at Haydock has proved he should not be overlooked in the clamour for Angel’s delight. If Profitable wins, it will be the fourth successive King’s Stand win for the winner of the Palace House following Sole Power (2013 & 2014) and Goldream last season. Cox said: ‘It was Mecca’s Angel’s first run in the Temple and we had had the benefit of a run. But I’d be hopeful that easier ground at Ascot would be far more agreeable for Profitable than easier ground at Haydock. ‘He is more mature this season and, having racked up two group wins this season, he is coming here full of confidence.’ Cox, who has trained four royal meeting winners, has no ground fears for Kodi Bear in the opening Queen Anne Stakes but concedes the going is a concern for Zonderland, who takes on three Classic winners in the St James’s Palace Stakes. The former jump jockey said: ‘I’m relaxed with Kodi Bear and it is not secret he needed the race (when seventh to Belardo) in the Lockinge Stakes. I am much happier with him. ‘We think the world of Zonderland. He is a lovely moving horse and hope conditions aren’t too bad for him. He is in excellent form. ‘He put in a big run (when sixth to Galileo Gold) in the 2,000 Guineas considering he did not come down the Dip at Newmarket that well. This is more his track but, if it gets more testing, it would not be helpful. ‘To be taking three horses of this quality on the first day is very exciting. It is everyone’s intention to compete at the highest level and I delighted we have some serious horses this week.’ The Ascot going was officially Good to Soft yesterday with the prospect of half an inch of further rain falling overnight and during the morning before racing starts. It is the softest going the meeting has started on this century a with an unsettled week predicted. Some of those trainers whose horses need a fast surface have already drawn stumps. Sole Power is out of the King’s Stand Stakes as is speedy US filly Acapulco, winner of the Queen Mary Stakes last year, with her trainer Wesley Ward optimistically hoping the course might be suitably drier for her by Friday’s Commonwealth Cup. Robert Cowell, trainer Goldream, has still to decide if the seven-year-old, who has never won on ground worse than Good, defends his title. The absences inevitably dilute the spectacle but competition for the record £6.58million on offer over the next five days will still be intense as £100million is bet over the week.

72 Nasser Hussain rates England players after Sri Lanka series England had to settle for a 2- 0 Investec series victory over Sri Lanka - and a stalemate at Lord's - after rain wiped out almost the entire final day of the third Test. The weather may have brought an anti- climactic end to a low-key Investec series but there was much for England to be satisfied with as they prepare for the bigger challenges ahead, starting with the visit of Pakistan next month. Sportsmail's Nasser Hussain gives his verdict on England's individual performances. Alastair Cook - 7 Not as prolific as he’d like to have been but the landmark of reaching 10,000 Test runs appeared to have preyed on his mind. Captained the side well and was always looking to win games. Timing of declaration at Lord’s was spot on and bold. Had a bit of fun with the bat leading up to it too and just looks as if he’s in a good place. Alex Hales - 9 He did everything apart from get a hundred. I like the fact he’s been a quick learner since South Africa and you could even see that in the difference between his first and second innings here when he realised, as he said himself, that he had to show Rangana Herath more respect. The find of the summer so far for England. Joe Root - 6 I can’t believe what a quiet series he’s had, other than scoring 80 in Durham, and he’ll be very disappointed. But that can happen, even with the best players. Maybe he’s slightly falling over his front foot a little bit more than usual. He will have to watch that, but it’s just been a series to forget for him. Nick Compton - 2 I didn’t understand his selection before the series. At a time when England are taking such forward strides in everything they do, it was a backward step to pick him. He is weighed down by technique - where he is too static - and mental anguish, and struggled throughout the series. A poor selection by England. James Vince - 5 Without a 50 in his first Test series, he has basically done what has sometimes been said of him in county cricket — he can look good but then get out and that’s not what you want. He has been bowled at Lord’s before for Hampshire, so clearly hadn’t learned from his mistake in dealing with the slope. Jonny Bairstow - 9.5 He’s only lost half a mark because of the odd missed chance. Yes he’s taken 19 catches in this series but as a keeper you’re judged on the ones you drop. He’s batting brilliantly, as well as he’s ever done, and has turned himself into a run machine. The hunger for runs is immense and he’s cashing in while he’s been in prime form. Moeen Ali - 7 A big century in Durham — and he was due one — but quiet other than that. Sometimes he bats too much like a No 7 or 8 rather than the proper batsman he is. Bowled fine in conditions that haven’t suited him and it’s a shame he didn’t get more of a chance to bowl Sri Lanka out on a fifth-day pitch. Chris Woakes - 8 Was unlucky in the two Tests he played and could have got more wickets. Very good, repeatable action and has been the quickest bowler on either side. He’s a more than decent batsman, too, and will ask a question of the selectors when Ben Stokes comes back to full fitness. Used to be thought of as a good county cricketer but has gone a long way to showing that he’s more than that. Stuart Broad - 8 Only overshadowed by the brilliance of Jimmy Anderson. He’s really improved in the consistency of his bowling to left-handers in particular and brings the slip cordon into play more now by bowling it that little bit fuller. I wouldn’t pick him for the one-day matches as I’d rather keep him fresh for Test cricket. Steven Finn - 6 Speed was well down in first two Tests with no rhythm, but these guys are not machines and he is just going to be one of those cricketers who has his ups and downs. Once he gets wickets and his confidence goes up, his speed goes up and, at his best, he would always be in my England team. Jimmy Anderson - 9.5 In May and June against an inexperienced Sri Lanka side with a Duke ball I expected him to bowl as outstandingly well as he has done. He’s a genius. He’s as quick as he’s ever been, his movement is as late as it’s ever been and his variations from inswing to outswing are phenomenal. He’s getting better and better.

73 Solid Italy beat Belgium as Giaccherini and Pelle strike By Zoran Milosavljevic LYON, France, June 13 (Reuters) - A superbly executed strategy by coach Antonio Conte gave Italy a richly deserved 2-0 win over Belgium in their Euro 2016 Group E match after Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle delivered outstanding goals on Monday. At their vintage best defensively, and threatening time and again on the counter-attack, Italy extended their unbeaten competitive run against the Belgians to 44 years having last lost to them at the 1972 European Championship. Monday's win put the Azzurri top of the section, with Sweden and Ireland having earlier shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw, while Belgium, despite having a multi- talented generation of players, have plenty of work to do to reach the last 16. Conte's bold 3-5-2 formation worked to perfection in the first half, with wing-backs Matteo Darmian and Antonio Candreva proving a handful when on the attack and solid defensively. Usually deployed on the right behind Candreva, Darmian was pushed further upfield on the left and the switch, plus the duo's tireless running, gave Italy's midfield room to operate. Seemingly on the back foot as a toothless Belgium had more possession, Italy always looked more likely to score and they took the lead against the run of play after a sublime move. Centre back Leonardo Bonucci delivered an inch-perfect pass down the middle from the halfway line and livewire Giaccherini side-footed past Courtois after taking the ball in his stride. STINGING SHOT Clearly rattled, the Belgians were lucky not to fall further behind a few minutes later when Pelle headed just wide after a fine save by Courtois who palmed away a stinging Candreva shot. Both sides raised the tempo after the break and spiced up a cracking atmosphere in Lyon's glittering new stadium with some fast-paced football. Belgium came out with more purpose and striker Romelu Lukaku missed a gilt-edged chance in the 53rd minute, curling his shot narrowly over the bar past advancing Italy keeper Gianluigi Buffon after good work by Kevin De Bruyne. Pelle forced a fine one-handed save from Courtois at full stretch barely 30 seconds later at the other end after yet another darting run and cross by Candreva. With Belgium throwing men forward in the closing stages, Courtois again prevented a second Italian goal when he kept out a rasping shot by substitute Ciro Immobile. But he was powerless in stoppage time when another sweeping move saw Candreva cross to Pelle who volleyed home emphatically. (Editing by Ken Ferris and Ian Chadband)

74 TransCanada to build $2.1 bln gas pipeline in Mexico By Julie Gordon June 13 (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp said it would build and operate a $2.1 billion natural gas pipeline in Mexico, as the Canadian company ramps up in the Latin American country at a time when its key projects closer to home are facing delays. TransCanada said on Monday the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline project would be built through a joint venture with a unit of Sempra Energy and be backed by a 25-year transportation service contract with Mexico's state-owned power company. TransCanada, which will own a 60 percent stake in the 800 kilometer (497 mile) pipeline and be its operator, will invest $1.3 billion in the project. Sempra's unit IEnova will hold the remaining stake. Spectra Energy Corp said on Monday its unit won a contract to build and operate a $1.5 billion natural gas pipeline in Texas, which would connect to the Sur de Texas- Tuxpan pipeline in Mexico. The unit, Valley Crossing Pipeline LLC, will build and operate the 1 billion cubic feet per day pipeline originating at Nueces County, Texas and extending to Brownsville, Texas. The Sur de Texas- Tuxpan pipeline, which is expected to be in service in late 2018, is the largest of three new Mexican projects recently announced by TransCanada. Construction has already begun on the $500 million Tuxpan-Tula pipeline and the $550 million Tula-Villa de Reyes lines. "This new project brings our footprint of existing assets and projects in development in Mexico to more than $5 billion," TransCanada Chief Executive Russ Girling said in a statement. TransCanada's Keystone XL oil pipeline expansion was rejected by U. S. President Barack Obama late last year and the company is struggling with opposition to its Energy East project in Canada. It is also slated to build numerous gas lines tied to proposed natural gas export terminals on Canada's Pacific Coast, but final investment decisions on those liquefied natural gas projects have been delayed by environmental and market concerns.

75 Wilshere: It hurts me to say it but Rooney is the best in my role There is a mischievous grin on Jack Wilshere’s face when he is asked about England’s rivalry with Wales. The England midfielder knows the politically correct answer to this question. Wilshere, however, can’t help himself: ‘We know that Wales don’t like us. Do we like them? Not really!’ It’s Wilshere in a nutshell. Entirely honest. Maybe too honest. His sincerity in interviews mirrors his commitment on the pitch. He is someone who is prepared to lunge for a 70- 30 ball, not in his favour, no matter the consequence. The midfielder’s ankles would testify to that. Nevertheless, his endearing candour makes Wilshere such engaging company. Of course, having won his race to be fit for Euro 2016, he was disappointed not to start Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Russia. Yet, when discussing England’s midfield, there was no thought of disparaging their performance for his own benefit. Just a genuinely honest answer. ‘I think the midfield were all great, almost faultless,’ admits Wilshere. Indeed, he reserved special praise for the man who directly took his place in the starting XI — captain Wayne Rooney. ‘It hurts me to say but he plays the central midfield position unbelievably,’ says Wilshere. ‘I’ve said it before: I think he’s our best player. I’m open about that. I’ve played with him for years. He can still play up front in my opinion. ‘Against Russia, he was probably our best player. Everything went through him. He’s got that range of passing, he understands the game. I love watching him and I love playing with him as well. ‘He’s like Andrea Pirlo, because he understands the game so well. His appreciation of the strikers, he reads their runs when not many people could see the pass. To get that pass right, with the right weight, takes a special player. ‘In training as well, now and then, when he picks up the ball deep and sprays a long pass — he never gets one wrong. He’s always perfect. That’s when you can tell he has something special. ‘He’s a great captain. Even when I first got in the squad and he wasn’t captain he still put his arm round me. I remember before my debut he told me to enjoy it and relax. ‘He’s always been that kind of figure for me but now he has extra responsibility because there are a lot of young players who have never been in a major tournament.’ The fact Wilshere is even in France comes as a mini triumph following an injury-disrupted season that saw him play just 141 minutes of football for Arsenal. The 24- year-old admits he endured some ‘dark periods’ during his injury hell. But now he is here in France, Wilshere is desperate to play his part. He looked sharp and assured in his 12-minute cameo against the Russians. But, even by his own admission, given how England performed in Marseille — particularly in the first half — Wilshere could be set to start on the bench against Wales in Lens. The playmaker, though, believes there is room for him in Hodgson’s engine room as England prepare for Thursday’s potentially explosive Group B clash versus Chris Coleman’s side. ‘Can Wayne and I play together in this system? I think we can,’ insists Wilshere. ‘I think there are two positions there. Dele Alli did well the other night as well, so let’s not forget about him. But I don’t see any reason why me and Wayne can’t play together.’ Wilshere acknowledges that stopping Gareth Bale, who scored for Wales in their win over Slovakia, is likely to be the key to whether England can kick-start their Euro 2016 campaign. But he does not agree with the Welsh hero’s assertion that England are lacking in passion. Speaking last week, the Wales superstar claimed his side have ‘more pride and passion’ than Hodgson’s squad, while also saying England ‘big themselves up before they’ve done anything’. But Wilshere says: ‘I’ve never questioned the passion of one of my team-mates. I’ve never been on the pitch and thought, “This guy isn’t worried about this”. ‘We all care. We all know what it means to people back home. Especially now, because we are a young squad — it was only a few years ago when people like Dele Alli and Raheem Sterling were 14, 15 watching this. ‘So we all know what it means, and we will be ready when Thursday comes. We have to put in the work, show some passion and pride and let the quality take over.’ On the danger that Bale poses, Wilshere added: ‘He has developed (at Real Madrid) but even at Tottenham he was world class. He has gone on from there and become a fantastic player and there is no denying that. ‘He’s going to be their biggest threat and we have to stop him getting the ball. He’s an amazing athlete, has got a great physique and is powerful when he runs. He can run all day, he doesn’t seem to stop. ‘To stop him, we need to do what we did against Russia. When we lose the ball we have to stop them counter-attacking and win the ball back straight away. ‘We’ve got better and better at that over the last couple of years, so we just need to keep doing that.’

76 England players question Hodgson's decision to let Kane take corner The England players are baffled by Roy Hodgson’s decision to have Harry Kane taking corners — believing the team’s premier striker should be deployed in the penalty box. The centre forward has been taking England’s corners in the lead up to Euro 2016 and did so in their opener against Russia. Players have publicly backed the ploy. Privately, however, members of the 23-man party are questioning manager Hodgson’s logic. Kane took six corners against Russia — and only seven for Spurs all last season. Former England captain and striker Alan Shearer has been highly critical of Hodgson’s stance on the set-piece. Hodgson is ready to adopt a Premier League-style approach against Wales on Thursday. The England manager is leaning towards naming the line-up that started against Russia and feels that facing a host of domestic-based players can be used in his team’s favour in Lens. England earned praise for their expansive tactics against Russia but Hodgson is considering a more direct, quicker approach. 2016-06-13 21:30 Sami Mokbel www.dailymail.co.uk

77 Blame Russia! Greg Dyke tells UEFA England fans were not to blame FA chairman Greg Dyke has hit back strongly at UEFA for blaming England and Russia fans in equal measure for the violence inside the Marseille stadium. Both countries have been threatened with expulsion from Euro 2016 if there is a repeat of the hooliganism that has overshadowed the start of the tournament. But Dyke, responding to a letter from UEFA acting general secretary Theodore Theodoridis outlining the sanction facing England, refused to accept equal responsibility for the ‘abhorrent scenes’ following the 1-1 draw on Saturday night. Dyke has written to Theodoridis criticising the stewarding at the Stade Velodrome as ‘unacceptable’ and stressing that there was insufficient segregation of supporters. He also urged a better security strategy ahead of the Russia-Slovakia match in Lille on Wednesday, with England and Wales fans also in the area for their game in nearby Lens on Thursday. Dyke has ‘serious concerns’ that there will be more trouble as English and Welsh fans without tickets were encouraged before the tournament to travel to Lille because it has a fan park that can accommodate 25,000 people. Dyke wrote: ‘You are right to say the behaviour on display has no place in football and we have been unequivocal in our condemnation.’ But he continued: ‘The implication in your jointly addressed letter is that English fans were in part responsible for the terrible incidents at the end of the match. This is contradicted both by the video evidence and by the fact your independent disciplinary bodies have only instigated sanctions against the Russian Football Union. ‘We believe the stewarding arrangements in place were unacceptable. Supporters were able to get in with fireworks and flares and then let them off, and there was insufficient segregation between the Russian and English fans. ‘A minority of English fans were clearly involved in some of those incidents away from the stadium on Thursday, Friday and matchday and that is extremely disappointing to us all. But please also recognise that tens of thousands have behaved in a positive way. ‘We have serious concerns around the security arrangements for the next few days. These concerns are heightened with the knowledge that Russia will play in Lille.’ Earlier in the day England captain Wayne Rooney and manager Roy Hodgson had jointly urged fans to stay out of trouble and not to go to Lens if they have not got a ticket for the match. In a video address released by the FA, Rooney said: ‘I’d like to ask the fans, please, if you don’t have a ticket, don’t travel. And for the fans with tickets, be safe, be sensible and continue with your great support for the players.’ Hodgson said: ‘As England manager I’m obviously very concerned about the threat which is now hanging over us and the sanctions that could possibly be imposed on the England team. ‘We worked very hard to get here and we desperately want to stay in the competition. ‘I’m appealing to you to stay out of trouble and try to make certain that these threats that are being issued are never carried out and we will be able to attempt to do the best we can to stay in this competition by football means.’ The FA of Wales have also urged their fans to stay away from Lens and Lille if they do not have tickets. The situation is not being helped, however, by some astonishing statements coming from senior figures in Russia. Igor Lebedev, who sits on the Russian Football Union executive committee, praised his thuggish compatriots for defending their country’s honour and argued that they should be forgiven. He tweeted: ‘I don’t see anything wrong with the fans fighting. Quite the opposite, well done lads, keep it up. I don’t understand those politicians and officials who are criticising our fans. We should defend them and then we can sort it out when they come home. ‘What happened in Marseille is not the fault of fans, but about the inability of police to organise this kind of event properly. And if there had been no provocation from English fans, it’s unlikely our fans would have got into fights.’ Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for Russia’s equivalent of the FBI, used his verified Twitter account to suggest his French counterparts were unable to handle Russia’s ‘normal’ football fans in Marseille because they are more used to policing ‘gay pride parades’. It is believed as many as 150 highly trained Russian hooligans descended on Marseille. According to Wayne Nash, the head of security for the Wales team, the French authorities knew last week of a powerful group of Russian thugs travelling en masse to the Mediterranean port.

81 CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls for fourth straight day as global jitters weigh By Fergal Smith TORONTO, June 13 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell for the fourth straight day on Monday, hitting a nearly three-week low as global jitters about whether Britain will vote to leave the European Union weighed, but losses were restrained by gains in resource stocks. Financial stocks fell in line with Asian and European shares as investors worried that a "Brexit" could tip Europe back into recession and as core sovereign debt yields declined. Lower bond yields hurt margins for the banks and raise the value of long-term liabilities held by insurance companies, said Steve Belisle, senior portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management. Bank of Montreal declined 0.7 percent to C$82.52, while Brookfield Asset Management slipped 3.9 percent at C$43.81. Selling by exchange traded funds weighed on Brookfield's shares following recent changes to the company's index classification, said Belisle. The overall financials group fell 0.5 percent, while industrial stocks dropped 0.9 percent, including losses for railway stocks. The telecommunications group declined 1.2 percent. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index closed down 43.66 points, or 0.31 percent, at 13,993.88. The index hit its lowest since May 24 at 13,958.82. Eight of the index's 10 main groups ended lower. Gold prices reached their highest since mid-May on the back of the fading risk appetite, helping Barrick Gold Corp jump 3.6 percent to C$25.90. Fertilizer company Potash Corp advanced 1.8 percent to C$22.09. Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd advanced 13 percent to C$4.16 after the mining company provided a business update last week. The materials group, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added 0.8 percent, while spot gold also rose 0.8 percent. The energy group edged 0.1 percent higher despite lower oil prices. U. S. crude prices settled down 19 cents at $48.88 a barrel. Penn West Petroleum Ltd soared 38.8 percent to C$1.61 as multiple brokerages upped their target prices on the company after it said it would sell its Saskatchewan assets for $975 million on Friday. Shares of TransCanada Corp firmed 0.4 percent after the pipeline operator said it will build and operate a $2.1 billion natural gas pipeline in Mexico, as the company continues to ramp up its presence in the Latin American country's large gas market.

83 Suspect pleads not guilty in former coal executive's death CHARLESTON, W. Va. (AP) — A suspect has pleaded not guilty in the fatal shooting of a former coal chief executive at a southern West Virginia cemetery.

84 Israel elected to head permanent U. N. committee for first time UNITED NATIONS, June 13 (Reuters) - Israel on Monday won an election to chair the United Nations' legal committee, the first time that it will head one of the world body's six permanent committees since joining the U. N. in 1949. While it is a largely symbolic and procedural role, chairing the committee will give Israel a chance to play a higher profile role in routine affairs at the United Nations. The so-called Legal Committee, or Sixth Committee, oversees issues related to international law. The General Assembly has six standing committees that report to it - on disarmament, economic and financial issues, human rights, decolonization, the U. N. budget, and legal issues. "I am proud to be the first Israeli elected to this position," Israel U. N. Ambassador Danny Danon said in a statement. "Israel is a world leader in international law and in fighting terrorism," he added. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to share our knowledge with the countries of the world. " Israel was a candidate for the regional Western European and Others Group (WEOG) and received a comfortable majority of votes - 109 out of 175 valid votes cast in the 193-nation assembly. Sweden was runner-up with 10 votes. Israel was originally part of the Asia-Pacific Group along with other Middle Eastern and Asian nations, the majority of which are cool or openly hostile towards the Israeli state. Its transfer to WEOG gave it a chance to get elected to leadership posts and play a more active role at the U. N. The chief Palestinian delegate at the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, complained about the results of the election, saying Arab and Muslim countries had tried to prevent an Israeli victory. Speaking to reporters, Mansour described Israel as "the biggest violator of international law" and predicted that Danon's election was "threatening the work of the Sixth Committee. " He said the Arab League and 57 member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation had opposed Israel's election. (Reporting by Louis Charbonneau; Editing by Andrew Hay)

85 Airline worker caught with gun at Detroit Metro raising security questions METRO AIRPORT (WXYZ) - A spokesperson for Detroit Metro Airport says there is an ongoing investigation into why a worker brought guns to the airport. At the airport, workers don’t go through the same security screenings that passengers go through. At many airlines they simply need to show their badge. Recently, Delta decided to step up security at Detroit Metro Airport. Last Wednesday, just over a week after Delta started screening all employees, sources tell 7 Action News the new security unit screening workers found a worker trying to bring a loaded gun into the airport. The worker told the security unit he forgot he had the gun, but he has a CPL. That’s not all. Sources say when Airport Police searched his car, they found another gun. Only Federal agents and police are authorized to have weapons on airport property. It raises questions: Why would the worker bring guns to the airport? And, is this a sign more airlines need to screen all their workers to keep passengers safe? “One of the greatest vulnerabilities at our airport is the insider threat, someone that is going to use their credentials to exploit the system,” said Lauren Stover, Security Director at Miami International Airport. She spoke to CNN last year for a story that revealed, her airport is one of the few in the country that screens all workers as they enter. The story came after a baggage handler in Atlanta smuggled guns to a passenger already through security. The worker could do that because at most airports all you need is to to get a badge and you’re in - no regular physical security checks. A spokesperson for Detroit Metro would not comment on security in place to screen employees at various airlines. Why? He said, for security reasons. "Enhanced screening procedures for employees is something the Airport Authority has been implementing in cooperation with our federal partners, airlines, tenants, and stakeholders as part of our multi-layered approach to airport security. While we do not share details related to airport security operations, our Public Safety team is constantly evaluating our airport security processes and procedures to ensure safe and secure facilities for our travelers and employees,” said Brian Lassaline, Public Affairs Director at Wayne County Airport Authority. 7 Action News contacted the man accused of bringing guns to the airport. He had no comment. Delta says he is suspended from work as Airport police investigate his crime.

86 Prosecutor: Former Vanderbilt player encouraged rape NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Prosecutors say a former Vanderbilt football player encouraged his teammates to have sex with an unconscious woman whom he had been dating. During opening statements Monday in the retrial of Brandon Vandenburg, a prosecutor said the former player even passed out condoms to three teammates before the woman was raped. But one of Vandenburg's attorneys blamed the three other players, saying that maybe Vandenburg could have stopped the June 2013 attack but he shouldn't be held responsible for what others did to her. The defense attorney said Vandenburg had been drinking all day, and the 19- year-old new recruit had asked players he didn't know to help him carry the unconscious woman to his dorm. He said the others were on her as soon as they got her in the room.

87 Prosecutor: FedEx delivered illegal prescription drugs SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — FedEx delivered packages containing illegal prescription drugs for internet pharmacies even after it noticed that authorities were cracking down on the businesses and was told that one had shipped drugs to a woman who committed suicide, prosecutors said Monday as a trial began over drug trafficking charges against the shipping giant. FedEx knew the drugs were illegally prescribed but delivered them anyway because it did not want to lose millions of dollars in revenue to rival UPS, Assistant U. S. Attorney John Hemann said during his opening statement. "They faced a choice, and the choice is to stop or go, and time and time again, they went," Hemann said at the trial in San Francisco. FedEx has denied the charges and says it only shipped what it believed were legal drugs from pharmacies licensed by states and registered with the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration. In her opening statement, FedEx attorney Cristina Arguedas said the company helped investigators crack down on the two pharmacies that prosecutors say were involved in the scheme and that it was never told by the DEA not to ship for a customer. "If FedEx was picking up from a pharmacy that was shut down by the DEA and reopened, it had a registration issued by the DEA," she said, The trial — nearly two years in the making — is unusual because of the government's decision to bring drug charges against a package delivery company and for the lack of a settlement. UPS paid $40 million in 2013 to resolve similar allegations that arose from a yearslong government crackdown on internet pharmacies that ship drugs to customers without valid prescriptions. The stakes are high for Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx. No FedEx officials are facing prison time, but the charges carry a potential fine of $1.6 billion. In the early 2000s, prosecutors say, FedEx began conspiring with two internet pharmacy organizations to ship powerful sleep aids, sedatives, painkillers and other drugs to customers who had not been physically examined by a doctor. The crux of the government's case is that FedEx knew the drugs were illegal and headed for dealers and addicts but delivered them anyway. Company drivers expressed safety concerns that FedEx trucks were being stopped on the road by online pharmacy customers demanding packages of pills, according to the U. S. attorney's office. "It was like 'The Walking Dead' your honor in some places," Hemann said, describing the customers. FedEx is charged with distribution of controlled substances, conspiracy to launder money and other counts. The trial could last into August before a ruling by Senior U. S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer, who will decide the case.

88 Gay clubs: Patrons treasure a place to feel safe, be oneself NEW YORK (AP) — Like many gay men across America, Jamie Brown has treasured memories of nights spent reveling at a gay club, a boisterous community gathering place where he could feel safe and be himself. He remembers it as a sanctuary. After the nightclub massacre in Orlando, Florida, "it just won't be the same," Brown wrote in an emotional Facebook post. "The sanctuary has been defiled. " Sunday's attack on the Pulse nightclub, in which gunman Omar Mateen killed 49 people before dying in a gun battle, prompted an outpouring of reminiscence and reflection on the vital roles that such clubs have played for many lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people across the U. S. "Clubs are terribly important to the LGBT community," said Ken Darling, owner of the Minneapolis club LUSH.

89 Goldman exec paid for prostitutes, Libyan fund alleges in London trial By Claire Milhench LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - A Goldman Sachs executive footed the bill for prostitutes and the bank paid for a lavish trip to Dubai for the brother of a decision-maker at Libya's sovereign wealth fund, a lawyer for the fund alleged on Monday, in a case it has brought against Goldman in London's High Court. The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) is attempting to claw back $1.2 billion from nine trades it carried out with Goldman Sachs in 2008. In the suit, the $67 billion fund argues that the U. S. investment bank took advantage of its financial naivety by first gaining its trust, then encouraging it to make risky and ultimately worthless investments in equity derivatives. Goldman Sachs denies all the allegations. "The claims are without merit and we will continue to defend them vigorously," the bank said in an emailed statement to Reuters on Friday. The LIA's claim hinges in part on its allegations that the trades were procured under "undue influence". It specifically cites an internship that Goldman Sachs provided for Haitem Zarti, the brother of Mustafa Zarti, the LIA's former deputy chief and a key decision-maker at the fund. The LIA alleges that Mustafa Zarti's willingness to do business with Goldman was influenced by the favourable treatment it was conferring on his brother in providing an internship. Neither side disputes that the internship took place. In his opening statement on Monday for the LIA, lawyer Roger Masefield said that in February 2008 Goldman Sachs sales team executive Youssef Kabbaj had flown Haitem Zarti from Morocco to Dubai at Goldman Sachs' expense. According to the LIA's claim, accommodation at the five-star Ritz Carlton was also paid for by Goldman, whilst Kabbaj arranged for two prostitutes to spend the evening with them at a cost of $600, Masefield said. The bank does not deny that it paid for some flights and hotels, but Kabbaj did not seek to expense the cost of the prostitutes to Goldman, and the bank did not know about it at the time, a source familiar with the bank's position said. Reuters was unable to reach Kabbaj for comment. Neither Zarti is connected with the fund now. Reuters could not reach either of the brothers for comment. Legal representatives for Goldman Sachs have not yet had a chance to make their opening statement setting out the bank's defence. But in the bank's court filings outlining its defence, Goldman Sachs argues that it was always clear the relationship was one in which the LIA and the bank were dealing with each other as commercial counterparties, and from which each side would seek to profit financially. Goldman Sachs maintains that its relationship with the LIA was at all "material times an arm's length one" between banker and client, and that the trades in question "were not hard for the LIA to understand". In its court filings, the bank also rebuts the suggestion that the LIA's employees were naive or unsophisticated. "The LIA's plea that it was 'financially illiterate' is as unfounded as it is extreme," the bank argues. The LIA is also pursuing the French investment bank Societe Generale for some $2.1 billion in relation to another set of trades entered into between 2007 and 2009. SocGen is contesting the case, which is only expected to come to trial in January 2017. The Goldman Sachs case is scheduled to run for seven weeks.

90 90 Scientists discover giant new planet orbiting two suns Washington - Astronomers have discovered the largest planet outside our solar system orbiting two stars, at a distance that would make it potentially habitable for people, scientists announced on Monday. A team of Nasa astronomers that made the discovery using the Kepler space telescope revealed the findings at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in San Diego, California. The gaseous planet - dubbed Kepler-1647 b - is the size of Jupiter and has a wide orbit, revolving around its two stars in 1 107 days, or around three years. The discovery is the eleventh of its kind since 2005. Planets that orbit two stars - known as circumbinary planets - are sometimes called "Tatooines", after the similar fictional planet in the movie Star Wars where Luke Skywalker was raised. Kepler-1647 b is further from its two stars than any other known circumbinary planet, placing it in an orbit that "puts the planet within the so- called habitable zone", a statement from San Diego State University (SDSU) said. In theory, that would make the planet neither too hot nor too cold for human habitation, and water could exist in liquid form. However, Kepler-1647 b is gaseous like Jupiter, making the possibility life could exist there unlikely. Still, any large moons orbiting the planet could possibly host life. At 4.4 billion years old, Kepler-1647 b is roughly the same age as the Earth. Its stars are also similar to the Sun, one slightly larger and the other slightly smaller, according to a research paper set to appear in The Astrophysical Journal. Located near the Cygnus constellation, the planet lies about 3 700 light- years away from the Earth. A light-year is the equivalent of around 9.5 billion kilometres. Researchers are able to detect planets outside the solar system - called exoplanets - when they pass in front of their stars, causing "slight dips in brightness", the researchers said. "But finding circumbinary planets is much harder than finding planets around single stars," co-author William Welsh, an SDSU astronomer, said. "The transits are not regularly spaced in time and they can vary in duration and even depth. " Researchers who detect potential exoplanets use advanced computer software to verify the discoveries, a typically long and arduous process. Astronomer Laurance Doyle of the SETI Institute - whose mission is to "search for extraterrestrial intelligence" - first noticed Kepler-1647 b's transit in 2011. Scientists required several years to collect and analyse additional data before they could confirm the planet's discovery.

91 Sarah Jessica Parker surprises three brides with shoes from her line Sarah Jessica Parker gave three unsuspecting brides the perfect Cinderella moment when she took on the role of 'shoe specialist' and surprised them during their bridal fittings in celebration of her new collection of wedding shoes. The 51-year-old Sex and the City star was giddy with excitement as she waited to meet the women inside New York City's famous wedding boutique, Kleinfeld Bridal, where her SJP Collection bridal shoes are now being sold. '[I am] waiting with baited breath to surprise some gorgeous brides today,' Sarah Jessica admits in the video featured on Brides.com . 'I think I am more excited than anybody.' Scroll down for video The women, who thought they were filming a video about trying on wedding dresses and accessories, were undoubtedly shocked when the real-life Carrie Bradshaw pushed a cart of shoes into their dressing rooms. But before the big reveal, the ladies each take a moment to explain to the cameras how they were feeling ahead of their fittings. A bride named Taylor-Rey says that she was feeling a mix of emotions about choosing a gown because had lost nearly 150lbs before her big day. 'I am excited but nervous because I lost 140lbs, so I am nervous about how I will look in certain dresses,' she says. Another woman named Hilary says she hasn't figured out what kind of shoes she wants, while a bride-to-be named Kaitlin notes that she really likes 'the trend where people do a pop of color' when it comes to choosing her footwear of choice. Taylor-Rey, who thinks she is meeting with a shoe specialist, is utterly shocked when Sarah Jessica wheels in her cart. 'Stop playing. Oh my god,' she responds, prompting the actress to announce that she is going to be Taylor-Rey's 'sales associate and shoe expert' for the fitting. Hilary has a similar reaction before leaning over to give the fashion icon a hug. SJP warmly shakes her mother's hand and thanks her for letting her 'crash the party'. Meanwhile, Kaitlin can't help but yell: 'What's happening right now?' And like any fairy godmother, Sarah Jessica is filled with heartfelt compliments as each woman shows models her chose dress before they start considering her shoe options. While Sarah Jessica tells Taylor Rey her gown looks 'exquisite' on her, she is equally enamored with the lacing featured on the back of Kaitlin's dress. 'God the back. It's inane,' she gushes. 'There oughta be a law.' And while she may be an A-list star, Sarah Jessica happily got on her knees as she showed each of the girls the shoes from her bridal collection, including the 'Angelica' — blue satin pumps featuring rhinestone brooch detail — and the silver, glittering 'Naomi' peep- toe pumps. Unsurprisingly, the women were more than happy to let SJP pick the pumps she thought best flattered their gowns, and Sarah Jessica gives them the full princess treatment as she places the heels on their feet. 'Look how sexy that shoe is,' Sarah Jessica tells Hilary, who is modeling a pair of pointed heels featuring a T-strap. The kind-hearted shoe designer even takes a moment to make sure Taylor-Rey's white pumps aren't too tight — although many woman would happily deal with some pinching if it meant they got to wear a pair of SJP's shoes on their big day. 'I really feel like I am in a storybook or something,' Kaitlin notes. And just when the women think it can't get any better, Sarah Jessica reveals that they are being gifted the shoes, which range from $350 to $500. 'This is just the best day!' Kaitlin exclaims. Sarah Jessica took to her brand's Instagram page on Monday to share the news, revealing 'the rumors are true'. 'The #SJPCollection: Bridal is now available at @kleinfeldbridal in NYC!' she wrote. 'To celebrate, I surprised three gorgeous brides who said "yes" to the dress and then I was given the great privilege of helping them say "yes" to a pair of #SJPCollection shoes to wear on their big day.'

92 92 Brad Guzan says club future to be handled after Copa America SEATTLE (AP) — United States goalkeeper Brad Guzan said Monday any decision about his future at Aston Villa will wait until after the Copa America. Guzan spoke during an off day in Seattle as the U. S. awaited Thursday's quarterfinal against Ecuador. Guzan, who overtook Tim Howard to become the U. S. started, had consecutive shutouts in wins over Costa Rica and Paraguay that closed group play. "Clean sheets are nice," Guzan said. "It's an added bonus to the hard work the guys in front of me put in for 90 minutes, but I think more important than the clean sheet is the performance and for the last few games the performance has been really good. " Guzan has started seven straight matches for the U. S. While his place on the national team is secure, his club future is uncertain. Guzan fell out of favor at Aston Villa this season after being the starter there since 2012. He lost his starting job to Mark Bunn in January, regained it in late March, then lost it again in late April as the Villans headed toward a last-place finish and relegation to the League Championship. Guzan says the decision isn't entirely his. He has one-year remaining on his contract at Villa. "Essentially it's not completely in my hands. I said when I first met up with the national team that when I got on the plane from London to fly to Miami to meet up with the U. S. team my focus was completely here and on the (Copa)," Guzan said. "That continues to be the case. At some point when this tournament is finished for us, I'll speak to them in terms of when I have to go back for preseason or not. I'm sure it will be somewhat of a quick turnaround, but at that point I'll turn my focus to my club situation and see what they want to do, and what I want to do and go from there. " Guzan played for an Aston Villa team that gave up a league-high 76 goals and won just three times in 38 games, resulting in what will be its first season in the second tier since 1987-88. For now, Guzan's attention is on the opportunity that stands in front of the Americans and the chance of reaching the semifinals after having limited expectations of advancing from their group. The U. S. beat Ecuador 1-0 with both teams using somewhat depleted rosters during a Copa America warmup last month. "For us it was always important to try and get out of the group first, and once you get out of the group it's like a whole new tournament starts," Guzan said. 2016-06-13 21:18 Associated Press www.dailymail.co.uk

93 UN cites progress in probe of Syria chemical attacks A UN team is making progress in its investigation of nine chemical weapons attacks in Syria but it has yet to identify the perpetrators, a report said Monday. The Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) set up by the Security Council last year appealed for more information from world governments including from the Syrian regime to determine those responsible for the attacks. The JIM is the most concrete UN effort to date to establish some accountability in the five-year war that has left more than 280,000 dead and displaced over 11 million people. "Investigations into the nine cases under consideration by the mechanism have all progressed," said the JIM in a report to the Security Council. But identifying those responsible "continues to be dependent on sufficiency of information", said the report obtained by AFP. The 24- member team is due to present its findings in August, when its one-year mandate ends, but the council could ask the panel to continue its work if it does not produce a list of perpetrators by then. The panel is looking into nine attacks using toxic chemicals that took place in 2014 and 2015 in the Hama, Idlib and Aleppo provinces. - Chlorine gas attacks - The report did not provide details, but most of the cases point to the alleged use of chlorine gas in barrel bombs, that the West blames on the Syrian regime. These took place in Kafr Zita in Hama province while other attacks were in villages in Idlib including Talmenes, Al-Tamana, Qmenas, Binnish and Sarmin. A more recent attack in Marea on August 21, 2015, pointed to the likely use of mustard gas by Islamic State militants. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has concluded that chlorine was probably used as a weapon on opposition-held villages, killing 13 people. The OPCW did not assign blame for the attacks, among the many horrors to have been documented Syria's war. The panel led by Argentine expert Virginia Gamba has visited seven countries, three of them in the Middle East, as part of its investigation and is planning to visit three more in June. Investigators traveled to Syria twice this year, in March and May, to question government officials and interview witnesses. The panel is working with two forensics institutes to analyse material and has consulted a number of laboratories on chemical substances and munitions. Even if the panel comes up with a list of names, the Security Council would have to adopt a new resolution to impose sanctions or take action against the perpetrators. That appears unlikely after Russia and China in 2014 blocked moves to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

94 AP EXPLAINS: The Islamic State group's persecution of gays BEIRUT (AP) — The gunman who attacked a gay nightclub in Orlando is said to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in a 911 call, and on Monday the extremist group described the shooter as "one of the soldiers of the caliphate in America. " Here's a look at what the Islamic State group, Islamic scholars and others in the region say about homosexuality. WHAT DOES ISLAM SAY? Islamic scholars overwhelmingly teach that same-gender sex is a sin. The Muslim holy book, the Quran, tells the story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom — and sodomy in Arabic is known as "liwat," based on Lot's name. Men having sex with each other should be punished, the Quran says, but it doesn't say how — and it adds that they should be left alone if they repent. The death penalty instead comes from the Hadith, or accounts of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. The accounts differ on the method of killing, and some accounts give lesser penalties in some circumstances. Yet, despite that teaching, Muslims in some countries have indicated support for LGBT rights. Just over 40 percent of U. S. Muslims said they supported same-sex marriage last year, in a survey by the Washington- based Public Religion Research Institute. In addition, a small number of Islamic scholars, mainly in the West, have started re-examining Islamic teaching on same-gender sex and have concluded that the blanket condemnation is a misinterpretation. However, this review is only just beginning and is not widely accepted. WHAT DOES THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP SAY? According to the Islamic State group's radical interpretation of Islam, gays should be thrown from a high building then stoned if they are not dead when they hit the ground. The group bases this gruesome punishment on one account in which the Prophet Muhammad reportedly said gays "should be thrown from tremendous height then stoned. " Over the past two years, the Islamic State group has thrown dozens of gay men from tall buildings in the areas of Iraq and Syria under its control. The group's online videos show masked militants dangling men over the precipices of buildings by their legs to drop them head-first or tossing them over the edge. Before IS, the method was rarely used, though other militants have targeted suspected gays and lesbians for death. HOW DO OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION TREAT GAYS? Across the Arab world, gays have been arrested and sentenced to prison on charges linked to "debauchery" — and faced flogging or even the death penalty in Iran and Saudi Arabia. During their rule in Afghanistan in the 1990s, the Taliban had their own method: The victim would be placed in a pit and a large stone wall toppled on top of him. In Egypt, there have been police raids of suspected gay gatherings and people have been put on trial using a vague legal text that equates homosexuality with prostitutes and tries gays for "violating public morality. " "Middle Eastern and North African countries have denounced the Orlando shooting when at the same time they criminalize homosexuality with sentences ranging from years in prison to the death penalty," said Ahmed Benchemsi, communications and advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa at Human Rights Watch. "Those governments should repeal laws and abolish practices that persecute people based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. " In contrast to much of the region, Israel is widely tolerant of the LGBT community, and Tel Aviv holds a massive annual gay pride parade. However, last year a radical ultra-Orthodox Jew stabbed a teenage girl to death at a parade in Jerusalem, which is far more conservative. Religiously mixed Lebanon is the most liberal among Arab nations regarding same-sex relationships, and has an active LGBT community. Still, a Lebanese law forbids homosexuality, although it is rarely enforced and has been challenged in courts. While homosexuality is not illegal in Afghanistan, gays fear the consequences of disclosing their identities, including police harassment and death threats. FEAR OF PERSECUTION Many gays in the conservative Muslim world keep their sexual orientation secret for fear of reprisal by relatives and others. A young Syrian man told The Associated Press last year that he fled Syria after he got scared his father might tell militants about his sexual orientation. And it's not just IS. In Syria, al-Qaida's local branch as well as other Islamic insurgent groups battling IS, have also killed gays and some homosexuals have had to flee the country for their own safety. Rameen, a 30-year-old gay man from Afghanistan, said he keeps his sexuality secret from family and friends. "In Afghanistan, most gay people reject their own identity. They struggle and try to act straight," said Rameen, who gave only his first name for fear of persecution. "I know people who have committed suicide because they could not cope with the reality of their sexuality. "

95 Inmate sentenced for contraband-loaded football scheme JACKSON, Mich. (AP) — An inmate involved in a plan to toss a football filled with drugs and cellphones over the fence of a Michigan prison will spend an additional three to five years in prison. MLive.com reports (http://bit.ly/1Yo8lfK ) Monday that 22-year-old Myles Alexander was sentenced Wednesday for his role in the plot. He already is serving up to four years in prison for a 2012 felonious assault and discharging a weapon case. The football contained marijuana, heroin, the phones and chargers. It landed between two security fences, but short of the prison exercise yard in June 2014 at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson. Christen D. Moore, who threw the football, was convicted of furnishing contraband to a prisoner. The 24-year-old Moore was paroled in November. ___ Information from: Jackson Citizen Patriot, http://www.mlive.com/jackson

96 Ga. man pleads guilty in killings of woman, homeless man DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A man accused of killing three homeless men and a woman walking to her car pleaded guilty Monday to murder and other charges in two of the deaths just outside Atlanta and received two consecutive life sentences without a chance of parole. Aeman Presley entered the pleas Monday in DeKalb County Superior Court, telling Judge Gregory A. Adams that he does "accept and take full responsibility for the crimes I have committed. " DeKalb County prosecutors were seeking the death penalty for the 35-year-old Presley in the December 2014 shooting of hair stylist Karen Pearce and had also charged him in the September 2014 killing of Calvin Gholston. He still faces charges in the fatal shootings of two homeless men in neighboring Fulton County, and prosecutors there are seeking the death penalty. Presley's attorneys Jerilyn Bell and Crystal Bice said he accepts "unmitigated responsibility. " They still believe, though, that he has a form of schizophrenia which played a role in the killings. They declined on Monday to discuss the possibility of a plea in Fulton County and said the case there is moving forward. A spokesman for Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard declined comment on Monday. DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James said a guilty plea that ensured Presley could never be released was the best resolution. He also expressed reluctance to pursue the death penalty when a defendant is willing to accept responsibility and a life sentence. "The most important thing for us was a sentence where he would never see the light of day again," James said. "Someone that commits such a random act of violence... deserves to be in jail for the rest of their life. " Police have said Presley shot Gholston, 53, multiple times as he slept outside a shopping center near Atlanta on Sept. 27, 2014. A woman who found Gholston's body told officers he had been living in an alleyway near the shopping center for at least two months, according to a police report. He then killed Dorian Jenkins, 42, on Nov. 23, 2014, followed by Tommy Mims, 68, on Nov. 26, 2014, police have said. Both men were homeless and were wrapped in blankets sleeping on the sidewalk in Atlanta when police say Presley shot them to death. Jenkins was shot five times and Mims seven times in what police described as "overkill. " Just over a week later, on Dec. 6, 2014, Pearce, 44, was robbed and fatally shot as she walked to her car after a dinner out with friends in downtown Decatur, just outside Atlanta. A statement from Pearce's parents read aloud on Monday said she was studying to become a nurse and wanted to help others. The statement said Pearce's mother frequently has nightmares about her daughter's final moments and described the family as "shocked to the core of our being. " "Our hearts suffer from the deepest wound from which it will never recover," the statement read. Presley later read aloud from a pre-written statement, saying he is "not a serial killer" and wants his daughter and two sons living in other states "to know what taking responsibility for your actions truly is. " "What I did was ungodly, unrighteous and dishonorable and plain wrong," he said, speaking quietly but clearly. "Although I can't change the past for your loved ones, for you or even for myself, I can only apologize to the families, the friends and the loved ones. "

97 Northern Ireland team seeking minute's silence for fan killed in promenade fall The Northern Ireland team are seeking a minute's silence for Darren Rodgers ahead of Thursday's Euro 2016 game against Ukraine. Players also want to wear black armbands in memory of the Ballymena man who fell to his death from a promenade in Nice in the early hours of Monday. Supporters are planning to stage a minute's applause in the 24th minute of the Lyon fixture. The popular amateur footballer was aged 24. Patrick Nelson, Irish Football Association (IFA) chief executive, said: "The young lad came out to watch some games of football, part of a huge movement from Northern Ireland, a very joyous movement, and it's a tragedy for his family and his friends. " He supported fans' efforts to have a minute's applause. "We'll ask UEFA whether it's appropriate to have a minute's silence before the game and/or to wear black armbands. " Manager Michael O'Neill said the players were very down. "My message to the supporters is make sure you look after each other while you are out here. Please enjoy yourselves and have a great time but please be careful. Take care of each other. "I can only imagine what his family are going through - going out here with your friends, to be part of the tournament, and then for the parents to find out the nature of the tragedy, I'm sure is terrible. "In truth, I can't imagine what that feeling will be like. "

98 Khawaja falls for 98 as Australia hit 265-7 against Windies BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (AP) — Opener Usman Khawaja was run out for 98 Monday as Australia reached 265-7 off 50 overs against the West Indies in the fifth match of the one-day cricket international tri-series at Warner Park. Khawaja, in his ninth one-dayer, struck four fours and three sixes off 123 deliveries before falling just short of a maiden ton. The left- hander anchored the innings alongside captain Steve Smith, who scored 74 off 95 balls in a second wicket stand of 170. George Bailey weighed in with 55 off 56 balls towards the end. There were two wickets apiece for medium pacers Kieron Pollard (2-32), skipper Jason Holder (2-44) and Carlos Brathwaite (2-60). Australia, without David Warner due a left finger injury, lost Aaron Finch to the fourth ball of the innings after being sent in. The right- hander edged Holder to slip. But Khawaja and Smith rebuilt in an assured stand that laid the platform for a satisfying total. Smith eventually top-edged a slog at Brathwaite to provide a skied catch. When Khawaja was run out by a combination of Jerome Taylor's swift, accurate return and stand-in wicket- keeper Andre Fletcher's neat collection, Australia lost momentum. The last 10 overs saw 73 runs with Bailey getting little support from the lower middle order.

100 Family warn of dangers of brain eating amoeba, found in lakes in A distraught family from Oklahoma is warning about the dangers of swimming in warm waters this summer after their 24-year-old daughter died from a rare brain eating amoeba. Elizabeth Knight, a mother-of-two, died last August 10, after she caught a rare infection while swimming in a Lake Murray, Oklahoma, near the Texas border. The primary amebic meningoencephalitis infection (PAM) was caused after a deadly bacteria called Naegleria fowleri, which can be found in warm water, got into her system through her nose. Scroll down for video Nearly a year later, her family are raising awareness of the dangers, with father Mike McKown telling Fox News 6 : 'She would want us to do everything we could to prevent this from happening to her.' McKown began an awareness campaign last year with a tribute page via Meningitis.org and a Facebook page called Beth Smiles Amoeba Awareness. He writes: 'The medical community must be aware of this as a cause of meningitis, especially in the summer months in the lower states where the water temperature in the lakes and rivers reach 80 degrees. 'Since this is not a mandatory reportable disease in all states, the statistics can not be accurate as to the number of cases of meningitis that are due to this amoeba. 'There is no way to determine the number of cases that are misdiagnosed as bacterial or viral meningitis instead of PAM. 'We must make the medical community aware of this cause of meningitis. It is 99% fatal but it can be 100% preventable if the public is made aware.' The Michigan native had complained of a severe headache not long after swimming in Lake Murray with her children, aged three and five at the time last August. Doctors saw her the following day and said she had a migraine and was sent home. But the next afternoon her boyfriend found her unable to speak with the loss of her motor skills. After being taken to hospital she continued to act erratically and boyfriend Eric Bowers told M-Live at the time: 'She was completely out of her mind. It's probably one of the saddest things I'm ever going to go through, watching that. 'Doctors didn't know what to do for a good 16 hours.' She was transported by medical helicopter to an Oklahoma City hospital, where she was put on life support and later died, it was only then that doctors discovered she had contracted a brain- eating amoeba. Naegleria fowleri infections are rare. In the 10 years from 2006 to 2015, 37 infections were reported in the U. S, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those cases, 33 people were infected by contaminated recreational water, three people were infected after performing nasal irrigation using contaminated tap water, and one person was infected by contaminated tap water used on a backyard slip-n-slide.
