Posted: 03 Jan 2018 05:07 AM PST A father held hostage by Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan for five years has been charged with sexual assault.

Failed asylum seekers blamed for rise in violent crime in Germany Posted: 04 Jan 2018 10:05 AM PST The large migrant influx to Germany in recent years has fuelled a rise in violent crime, according to the findings of a new government report. Rejected asylum-seekers from countries considered safe were behind much of the rise, while genuine refugees from countries such as Syria and Iraq were more rarely involved, the study found. The report's authors have called on Angela Merkel's government to do more to return economic migrants posing as asylum-seekers to their own countries. Violent crime rose by 10.4 per cent between 2014 and 2016 in Lower Saxony, the German state chosen for the study. The rise coincides with Mrs Merkel's 2015 decision to open Germany's borders to refugees, and the study found asylum-seekers were responsible for more than 92 per cent of the increase. But it found that those whose asylum claims had been refused by the authorities were disproportionately frequent offenders. Asylum applications in Germany People from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, who are routinely refused asylum in Germany as their home countries are considered safe, accounted for fewer than 1 per cent of asylum-seekers in Lower Saxony, but more than 17 per cent of violent crimes. "It's made clear to the North Africans from the outset that they have no chances here, that they must all go home," Christian Pfeiffer, one of the report's authors, told ZDF television. "The war refugees are very quickly told they can stay. And then, of course, they try to do nothing wrong." Prof Pfeiffer, a criminologist and former regional interior minister of Lower Saxony, called on the government to spend more on sending rejected asylum-seekers home. "It's not enough just to say they should be deported. I think it's time for a new perspective in refugee policy: namely to invest large amounts of money in a return program," he said. The report's findings match high-profile cases like that of Anis Amri, the rejected Tunisian asylum-seeker who killed 12 people when he drove a lorry into a crowded Berlin Christmas market in 2016. Rejected asylum-seekers are often allowed to remain in Germany in a semi-legal state. They are not allowed to work and have limited access to benefits. While terror attacks dominate the headlines, they accounted for little of the rise in violent crime. The report found most of the surge was caused by violence between migrants: 90 per cent of victims killed by asylum-seekers were themselves foreign nationals. The fact most asylum-seekers are young males aged between 14 and 30 was a major factor in the violence, according to Prof Pfeiffer. "Everywhere the lack of women has a negative effect. This increases the risk that young men conform to violent masculinity norms," he said. For this reason, he argued, calls to allow family reunification for those granted asylum were "not stupid". |

Khamenei blames Iran's 'enemies' for unrest as US ups pressure Posted: 02 Jan 2018 06:43 PM PST Iran's supreme leader blamed "enemies" Tuesday for unrest that has seen 21 deaths as Washington sought to increase pressure on the Islamic regime that was facing its biggest test in years.

"The enemies have united and are using all their means, money, weapons, policies and security services to create problems for the Islamic regime," the supreme leader said. |

Clear beggars from streets of Windsor ahead of royal wedding, says local council leader Posted: 03 Jan 2018 04:47 PM PST Beggars have made a life choice and should be cleared from the streets of Windsor ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, the leader of the local council has said. Comments by Tory councillor Simon Dudley, from the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, were branded "abhorrent" yesterday ahead of the royal wedding there next May. Cllr Dudley said beggars could present the town in a "sadly unfavourable light", and tweeted that some rough sleepers had made a "commercial life choice praying on residents and tourists". In a letter to police he complained about "aggressive begging and intimidation" and "bags and detritus" on the streets. His comments were criticised by a local homeless charity manager, who described them as "sickening". Council leader Simon Dudley who has been branded "abhorrent" after calling on police to clear rough sleepers from Windsor before the royal wedding Credit: PA Murphy James, of Windsor Homeless Project, said: "It's absolutely abhorrent that anybody has got these views in this day and age, especially a lead councillor of the borough. "If somebody is sleeping out on the street they are not there by choice, they are there because something has gone wrong." Mr James described it as "sickening" that Mr Dudley cited the royal wedding as a reason for his comments. Meghan Markle's first royal outing with Prince Harry, in pictures It came after Mr Dudley tweeted that there is "an epidemic of rough sleeping and vagrancy" in the town and demanded police "focus on dealing with this before the #RoyalWedding". He also wrote a letter to Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley Police, Anthony Stansfeld, dated January 2, calling on officers to take action. The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will happen in May Credit: DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/AFP He said police should use their powers under the 1824 Vagrancy Act and the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to "protect residents and tourists". Mr Stansfeld said he was "somewhat surprised" the letter was released publicly before being "sent directly to me", and said he would provide Cllr Dudley with a full response in due course. |
Indian pilots grounded after 'mid-air row' Posted: 03 Jan 2018 10:31 PM PST An Indian airline said Thursday it had grounded two pilots over allegations they had a fight and both briefly stormed out of the cockpit during a New Year's Day flight from London to Mumbai. Jet Airways is investigating claims that a male pilot slapped his female colleague during a heated argument while the plane was in the air with 324 passengers on board. Reports in several Indian newspapers, quoting unnamed sources, said the mid-air altercation led the female pilot to leave the cockpit in tears and she had to be persuaded to go back in by cabin crew. |

Americans should worry about Kim's mental fitness, not Trump's: White House Posted: 03 Jan 2018 02:48 PM PST By David Brunnstrom and Christine Kim WASHINGTON/SEOUL (Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday defended Donald Trump's tweet about the size of his nuclear button, saying Americans should be concerned about the North Korean leader's mental fitness, not their president's. On Tuesday, Trump responded to a New Year's Day speech in which North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned he had a nuclear button on his desk by saying that his nuclear button "is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!" The tweet provoked strong criticism, especially from Trump's Democratic opponents, and former Vice President Joe Biden called it dangerously cavalier. Asked whether Americans should be concerned about the president's mental fitness after he appeared to be speaking so lightly about nuclear threats, White House spokeswoman Sara Sanders told a regular news briefing: "The president and the people of this country should be concerned about the mental fitness of the leader of North Korea. |

How Washington Can Influence the Outcome of Protests in Iran Posted: 04 Jan 2018 09:11 AM PST The Trump administration would do well to focus on three concrete ways by which it can help Iran's protests flourish. For more than a week now, thousands of Iranians have rallied publicly against their government, demanding accountability, transparency and an end to the repressive clerical status quo. In the process, they have presented Iran's radical theocratic regime with one of the most profound challenges to its authority since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. |

Philippines bars U.S. firm call center from expanding after deadly fire Posted: 03 Jan 2018 04:09 AM PST By Karen Lema and Neil Jerome Morales MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines has barred a branch of an American call center firm from expanding in the country following a pre-Christmas fire that killed dozens of its employees, a senior government official said on Wednesday. Charito Plaza, director-general of the government's Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), said the agency had suspended the operations of American firm Research Now SSI, as well as the shopping mall hosting it, for failing to meet certain safety requirements since 2013. "They can operate again once they get a clearance from the Bureau of Fire and the local government," Plaza told Reuters in a text message. |
