Eleven killed in Nicaragua protests, including attack on Mother's Day marchBy Oswaldo Rivas MANAGUA (Reuters) - Eleven people were killed on Wednesday in one of the worst days of violence since protests against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega began more than a month ago, a rights group said on Thursday. Witnesses said pro-government armed groups opened fire on the marchers during a demonstration on Wednesday, Nicaragua's Mother's Day. The march was held to remember the children who were among the more than 80 killed since the start of protests more than a month ago.


'Murdered' journalist Arkady Babchenko turns up alive after death staged to 'expose Russian plot'

Posted: 31 May 2018 01:19 AM PDT

'Murdered' journalist Arkady Babchenko turns up alive after death staged to 'expose Russian plot'By Wednesday afternoon, most of Arkady Babchenko's friends and colleagues had gone through the familiar cycle of grief and confusion that follows the killing of a Russian dissident journalist.  Obituaries had been written, travel arrangements were in train for the funeral, and Western politicians including Boris Johnson had announced they were "appalled".  Meanwhile, Ukraine had blamed Russia, Russia had blamed Ukraine, and both launched rival investigations to prove their stories.  And journalists in both countries, taught by bitter experience not to trust official probes into the deaths of their colleagues, pledged to run their own investigations. But then came a twist that no one could have predicted: Vasily Gritsak, the head of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), called a press conference and announced the whole thing had been a hoax.  Arkady Babchenko, right, appeared at a Press conference into his own 'death' held by the head of Ukraine's Security Service Credit: VALENTYN OGIRENKO /Reuters For a moment, there was an uncomprehending silence. Then a door opened, and in shuffled a familiar shaven headed man.  Arkady Babchenko was wearing light trousers and a black hoodie. And he was looking somewhat sheepish.  "I have buried many friends and colleagues many times and I know the sickening feeling," he said, by way of explanation. "I am sorry you had to experience it. But there was no other way." "Special apologies to my wife. Olechka, I am sorry, but there were no options here," he said. "The operation took two months to prepare. I was told a month ago. As a result of the operation, one person has been captured, he is being held," he added.  Mr Gritsak said Mr Babchenko's fake death, which fooled his closest friends and family, as well as international media and world leaders, had allowed Ukrainian agents to thwart a genuine plot to take the journalist's life. Arkady Babchenko and his wife Olga, to whom he apologised for the fakery Credit: Facebook/east2west news  Staging the murder, he implied, was necessary to gain evidence of communication between the hit man and his handlers, who he said worked for the Russian security services.  Yury Lutsenko, Ukraine's prosecutor general, said the alleged plot had involved a Ukrainian citizen recruited by Russian handlers to carry out the murder.  The SBU later released video of what they said was money being handed to the hired killer.  The death and resurrection of Russia's most famous war correspondent is one of the strangest episodes in the bitter confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.  A matter of life and death: How the set-up unfolded Tuesday 8pm: The killing Ukrainian Police announce that Arkady Babchenko has been shot and killed at his Kiev flat.

The Ukraine Security Service releases footage of the arrest of a suspect in the plot Credit: AFP/YOUTUBE/UKRAINE SECURITY SERVICE 'A victory... a stunt': How Babchenko's 'death' sent shockwaves around world Kiev hailed a victory and Moscow condemned a stunt. Konstantin Kosachev, head of the international affairs committee of the upper house of the Russian parliament, compared Ukraine's actions to Britain accusing Moscow of being behind the nerve gas poisonings of a Russian former spy and his daughter in England. Russia vehemently denies poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia Skripal. "The logic is the same - to defame Russia," Kosachev told the state news agency Tass. But the move also drew criticism from journalists and media freedom groups who said it undermined faith in reporting and played into the hands of governments who dismiss unwelcome coverage as fake news.  News of Mr Babchenko's "death" sent shockwaves through the Russian journalistic community and opposition circles when it was announced on Tuesday evening.  While I am very happy Arkady is alive I am also angry and confused because my fellow reporters and I spent yesterday posting and reading memories we shared of him and feeling very down and out. This was apparently some kind of sting operation. I hope it was worth it.— Simon Ostrovsky (@SimonOstrovsky) May 30, 2018 Ukrainian police said the veteran war correspondent had been killed by a gunman lurking in the stairwell outside his Kiev flat late on Tuesday evening.  Police said his wife, Olga, found his body on the threshold of the flat with several gunshot wounds in his back and that he died in an ambulance on the way to hospital.  All of this seemed entirely plausible to those who knew him. Mr Babchenko was an implacable public critic of the Kremlin whose public statements had become increasingly abrasive, and the death appeared to fit with a pattern of murders in Kiev.  The 2016 Kiev murder of Pavel Sheremet, another journalist, has still not been solved Credit: VALENTYN OGIRENKO The unsolved deaths include that of Pavel Sheremet, a prominent Belarusian born liberal journalist who was blown up in his car in 2016.  The gunman in the stairwell and the shots in the back also recalled the deaths of two other prominent Kremlin critics - Anna Politkovskaya and Boris Nemtsov, who were murdered in Moscow in 2006 and 2015.  One Russian war photographer and friend of Mr Babchenko told the Telegraph he was "not surprised," on reflection, that his friend had been killed.  Babchenko had fled Russia over fears to his safety Credit: Akrady Babchenko/Facebook Several acquaintances of Mr Babchenko, many of whom had posted tributes online or even written obituaries for the Russian and foreign media, expressed relief mixed with deep unease over the deception.  And media freedom groups condemned the hoax, saying it could put other journalists in danger and play into the hands of those behind real murders.  "It is pathetic and regrettable that the Ukrainian police have played with the truth, whatever their motive," said Christophe Deloire, the head of Reporter Without Borders. "All it takes is one case like this to cast doubt on all the other political assassinations." Babchenko, a conscript in the Chechen wars, was a fierce critic of Putin Credit: Akrady Babchenko/Facebook Nor did it shine a light on the other unsolved murders - which some Ukrainian activists say the authorities have been distinctly reluctant to investigate with anything like the same level of commitment.  When a Ukrainian journalist asked about the investigation into "a real murder - that of Pavel Sheremet," Mr Gritsak replied: "We have a different topic today." The Russian government, which in the morning had condemned Mr Babchenko's murder and denied accusations of involvement, in the evening welcomed his recovery and swiftly condemned the hoax as "propaganda."  Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko  Credit: AP "The fact that Babchenko is alive is the best news" said Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the foreign ministry. "The fact that the whole story was created for propaganda effect is obvious." The Ukrainian government was defiant over the operation on Wednesday night. "I congratulate the SBU. You have conducted a brilliant operation to protect the life of Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko," Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian president, wrote on Facebook.  Anton Geraschenko, an aide to the Ukrainian interior ministry, justified the pain caused to Mr Babchenko's family and friends by the hoax saying Sherlock Holmes had used the same tactic. "Wasn't that also painful for his relatives and Dr Watson," he wrote on Facebook.  Ukrainian Journalists, who originally rallied at Independence Square in Kiev to mourn anti-Kremlin journalist Arkady Babchenko, celebrate after he appeared alive and well  Credit: AFP Dozens of journalists descended upon the central square in Kiev late on  Wednesday, laughing, hugging and quaffing sparkling wine as they celebrated the "resurrection" of Mr Babchenko. "It's an incredible story of a resurrection," joked Russian journalist Pavel Kanygin who like several of his Russian colleagues had rushed to Kiev to cover the story. "It's a miracle, but a miracle that turned out to be a staged drama". Mr Babchenko himself was in a meeting with Mr Poroshenko as the group of journalists from local and international media popped corks and took selfies. "We were preparing for the funeral, Many of us didn't sleep last night. We bought plane tickets for the first flight to Kiev," said Kanygin, who works for the investigative Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta.

China angles for Swaziland to ditch Taiwan before major African summitChina hopes self-ruled Taiwan's only remaining African ally, Swaziland, will sever ties with Taipei before China hosts a summit of African leaders this year, the foreign ministry said on Friday, keeping up the pressure on Taiwan. Taiwan is claimed by China as its own, with Beijing saying that as it is merely a Chinese province it has no right to state-to-state relations. Taiwan has lost two diplomatic allies in the past month, most recently the West African state of Burkina Faso, which re-established ties with Beijing last weekend.


Telegram app is 'mouthpiece' for terror, Sajid Javid says as jihadi admits encouraging attack on Prince George

Posted: 31 May 2018 05:02 AM PDT

Telegram app is 'mouthpiece' for terror, Sajid Javid says as jihadi admits encouraging attack on Prince GeorgeA social media website used by a British Isil supporter to urge his followers to target Prince George and send 300,000 hate-filled messages is a "mouthpiece" for terrorism, the Home Secretary has warned. Husnain Rashid, 32, was warned that he could face life behind bars after dramatically changing his plea on a string of terror offences midway through his trial at Woolwich Crown Court. He used the Telegram instant messaging app, which has military-grade encryption, to provide an "e tool-kit for terrorism" and called on supporters to target the four-year-old heir to the throne when he started school. Rashid also urged followers to carry out terror attacks at next month's World Cup in Russia and encouraged them to inject cyanide into fruit and vegetables at grocery stores and poison into ice cream. His "prolific" activities specialised in assisting the "lone wolf" attacker, urging them to carry out attacks with poison, chemicals, bombs and knives. You will receive a very lengthy prison sentence and there will be a consideration of a life prison sentenceJudge Andrew Lees Sajid Javid, the Home Secretary, told The Daily Telegraph: "The UK is leading international work to make sure internet companies take a proactive approach to terrorist content on their platforms. "We have been clear that some platforms, such as Telegram, have not been doing enough. If companies do not want to be a mouthpiece for the vile ideology of Daesh then they need to act now." Theresa May warned earlier this year that Telegram has become a "home to terrorists and criminals" as she urged investors to put pressure on the company. Between November 2016 and his arrest on 22 November last year Rashid sent 360,000 messages on 150 different chat threads on Telegram. However police have only been able to access a small handful of the messages. Sajid Javid has accused Telegram of being a "mouthpiece" for terrorism Credit: Matt Dunham/AP Annabel Darlow QC, prosecuting, said Telegram offered users a high level of security using end-to-end encryption and allowed them to create groups or channels to broadcast messages to a large audience. As a result, she said, it provided a "highly secure" means of communication for terrorist and other criminal networks. "Whereas other social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, have begun taking action against ISIS, Telegram has so far refused to remove private conversations or chats," she said. "Telegram users can exchange messages and files with other Telegram users over an internet connection. Anything sent over Telegram is therefore unintelligible to anyone other than the intended user or users." Thomas's Battersea, the private school attended by Prince George Credit: DYLAN MARTINEZ /Reuters When Rashid was arrested at his home in Nelson, Lancs, several devices including two mobile phones and a laptop were recovered by officers. But despite repeated pleas, he refused to provide the PIN codes required to access two of them, forcing prosecutors to admit that the material before the court was likely just a sample, representing "an unknown proportion" of his terror-related activities. "Analysis by the investigators of huge quantities of encrypted material in the defendant's possession has proved impossible," Ms Darlow said. Court artist sketch of Husnain Rashid Credit: Elizabeth Cook /PA Rashid was linked online to Omar Hussain, a terrorist fighting in Syria who is thought to have been killed by IS last summer and Mohammed Saboor, who was convicted in May 2015 of supplying Hussain with protective ballistic glasses. He admitted three counts of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts and one of encouraging terrorism. Judge Andrew Lees remanded him in custody ahead of sentencing on June 28, telling him: "For the past week I have listened to the most disturbing allegations. Prince George on his first day at Thomas's Battersea with his father the Duke of Cambridge and Helen Haslem, head of the lower school Credit: Richard Pohle/PA "It is inevitable that you will receive a lengthy prison sentence and there will be consideration of a life imprisonment sentence in your case."  Telegram has offices in London, Berlin and Singapore but is largely based in Dubai, meaning it does not have to provide UK authorities access to its encrypted data. Pavel Durov, the chief executive of Telegram, said in December last year: "We consider freedom of speech an undeniable human right. Telegram has been blocking hundreds of violent public channels daily. "Our neutrality and refusal to take sides...can create powerful enemies. Doing the right thing is more important than trying to avoid having enemies."
