| Saudi Arabian corruption detainees may face terrorism-focused courts Posted: 08 Apr 2018 12:03 PM PDT  Saudi Arabia's public prosecutor has begun processing the cases of 56 men detained in the country's sweeping anti-corruption purge late last year, an official said on Sunday. The 56 are still in Saudi government custody after failing to be exonerated or reach financial settlements with the government. The shock crackdown in November 2017 saw a new Supreme Anti-Corruption Committee round up 381 corruption suspects on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's orders, with many confined and interrogated. Just 30 or so of the men's identities were released. The list of names included top officials, members of the Saudi royal family, and global investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. More than 2,000 bank accounts were frozen and private jets were grounded as detainees were rounded up and, in many cases, held in Riyadh's opulent Ritz-Carlton hotel. In January, Saudi Arabia's attorney general released a statement saying it had completed its review of cases and would release all those who had paid settlements or against whom it did not have enough evidence. The rise of MBS It estimated the value of settlements at 400 billion Saudi riyals (more than £75 billion) "represented in various types of assets, including real estate, commercial entities, securities, cash and other assets." On Sunday, the Saudi government announced that the public prosecutor had begun investigations and opening arguments in the corruption cases of the 56 men still in custody. According to deputy attorney general for investigations Saud al-Hamad, the charged men will be referred to court for prosecution in cases related to money laundering or terrorism. Mr Hamad said some of those under investigation hadn't respected confidential agreements, while others committed further, as yet unspecified, offences. The anti-corruption campaign was framed as part of Mohammad bin Salman's push to transform Saudi's oil-dependent economy, which has been long plagued by graft, and make it more modern, diversified, and capable of withstanding diving oil prices. But critics say the blanket of secrecy that has cloaked proceedings, as well as the lack of detail on financial settlements reached, suggests it was more about gathering cash and shoring up the crown prince's growing authority than tackling corruption.

The man killed two people when he ploughed the vehicle into people seated at tables outside the Grosser Kiepenkerl eatery, a popular destination for tourists in the old town of the university city in western Germany. "We now know it was in all likelihood a lone perpetrator, a German," Herbert Reul, interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, home to Muenster, told reporters.

| Russia blames Israel for attack on Syrian air base as pressure mounts over gas atrocity Posted: 09 Apr 2018 01:52 AM PDT  Russia blamed Israel for a missile attack on a Syria air base on Monday morning, which came after President Bashar al-Assad triggered international outrage by carrying out a suspected chemical attack in a besieged suburb of Damascus. The US and France both denied attacking the T-4 airfield near Homs, which is close to the ancient city of Palmyra in central Syria. Russia said Israel launched eight missiles, five of which were shot down, from outside of Syrian airspace. At least 14 fighters, including Iranians, were killed in the early morning strike, according to the monitoring organisation the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Syria also accused Israel of carrying out the strike. A military spokeswoman for Israel, which has struck Syrian military positions several times in recent years, declined to comment on the strike. A Syrian military source was quoted in local media as saying air defences shot down eight missiles fired at the base, where defence analysts say there are large deployments of Russian forces, and where jets fly regular sorties to strike rebel-held areas. It came after Donald Trump on Sunday warned Russia's Vladimir Putin that there would be a "big price to pay" for a suspected Syrian chemical weapons attack that killed 70 people, including children. In his harshest criticism of the Russian leader since taking office, Mr Trump said Mr Putin was partly "responsible" for the attack on rebels in Douma, a town in Eastern Ghouta. 'No one in the basement made it, the gas killed them instantly': How the 'chemical' attack in Ghouta unfolded The US president also criticised Barack Obama's failure to police a "red line" over chemical weapons, while a senior White House official said no form of response was "off the table". The comments raise the possibility of a US airstrike against Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian dictator. Mr Trump approved a strike a year ago after a similar chemical attack. The UN security council is expected to meet tomorrow after the UK, France, America and six other countries called for an emergency session. Theresa May was also under pressure to join any US military intervention against the Assad regime, though MPs are not expected to be recalled to Parliament. In a phone call with Donald Trump on Sunday night French President Emmanuel Macron strongly condemned the "chemical attacks," and the pair vowed a "strong, joint response," the White House said. Russia, Iran and Syria all denied chemical weapons had been used, with the Kremlin warning that any military response from the West would be "absolutely unacceptable". A residential area of Douma, one the last-remaining rebel-held areas in Syria, was struck by the suspected chemical weapons attack around 8.45pm on Saturday. Footage from the ground showed the dead bodies of children and adults foaming at the mouth with open eyes. Many had been in a basement when the attack hit. 'I wouldn't take anything off the table' Mr Trump tweeted: "Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. "Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. "President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price to pay. "Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!" He also criticised his predecessor's failure to launch air strikes after past chemical weapons use, tweeting: "If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!" US media reported that Mr Trump will meet military leaders on Monday while Republican congressmen demanded that he follow through his tough rhetoric with action. Thomas Bossert, a White House homeland security and counterterrorism adviser, declined to rule out any form of response during an interview with ABC's This Week. "I wouldn't take anything off the table. These are horrible photos. We're looking into the attack," Mr Bossert said. The attack came almost exactly a year after deadly sarin gas was used on the town of Khan Sheikhoun, which prompted Mr Trump to approve dropping US Tomahawk missiles on a Syrian airbase. Douma chemical attack The Union of Medical Relief Organisations, a US-based charity that works with Syrian hospitals, said 70 had been confirmed dead but the toll was expected to rise. If it reaches above 80, it would be the deadliest chemical attack since the 2013 sarin strike on Eastern Ghouta which left around 1,400 dead. It was unclear what chemical had been used in Saturday's attack. Medics on the ground reported smelling a chlorine-like substance, but said the patients' symptoms and the large death toll pointed to a more noxious substance such as nerve agent sarin. On Sunday night US government sources said the assessment by US authorities is that chemical weapons were used in the besieged rebel-held town, but they are still evaluating details of the attack. If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018 Mr Trump's tweets come just days after he publicly called for US troops to be pulled out of Syria after a string of victories against Isil, the jihadist group. The US president reluctantly agreed to keep America's 2,000 soldiers there for now but is still pushing for withdrawal within months rather than years. 'Military intervention may trigger the gravest consequences' Mr Trump's decision to single out Mr Putin for blame breaks with a reluctance to directly criticised the Russia leader seen throughout his presidency. The US president did not bring up the Salisbury poisoning or claims of ballot-stuffing at the Russian election when the pair talked last month. Mr Trump has largely not echoed the harsh criticism of Mr Putin by some of in his administration, even while approving a string of sanctions against Kremlin allies. Earlier today Russia, which along with Iran is supporting the Assad regime, denied chemical weapons had been used in the attack and warned against a military response. Affected Syrian kids wait to receive medical treatment after Assad regime forces allegedly conducted poisonous gas attack to Duma town of Eastern Ghouta in Damascus Credit: Getty The Russian foreign ministry said: "The goal of these false speculations, which are not substantiated by any facts, is to cover up terrorists and irreconcilable radical opposition, which opposes political settlement, and to simultaneously try to justify potential external military strikes. "It is necessary to once again caution that military intervention under false and fabricated pretexts in Syria, where the Russian servicemen stay at the request of the legitimate government, is absolutely unacceptable and may trigger the gravest consequences." Iran's foreign ministry called claims of chemical weapons use "an excuse" for a military attack, Syria's foreign ministry said such allegations were an "unconvincing broken record". How has the UK reacted? Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, said that Britain is in "close touch" with the US and other allies, adding that those behind the attack must be "held to account". Mr Johnson said in the Commons earlier this year that if there is "incontrovertible evidence" of further chemical weapons use by the Assad regime, "I would certainly hope very much that the west will not stand idly by". Syria chemical weapons However ministers are concerned that they may be forced to hold a vote in the Commons to authorise action against the Assad regime, with no guarantee that of winning it. The Government fears that Jeremy Corbyn could oppose military action against the Assad regime, which would make the "electoral maths" challenging. David Cameron lost an historic vote for action in Syria in 2013, which is widely seen to have emboldened the Assad regime. Rob Crilly: How Vladimir Putin finally found Donald Trump's red line The Government won a vote in the Commons for military action against Isil in Syria in 2015, but that does not extend to the Assad regime. Parliament is also in recess until next week, by which time it may be too late to join any military action. Johnny Mercer, a Tory MP, says in an article for the Daily Telegraph today that requiring a vote in the Commons to authorise military action is "pathetic".

| Nigerian president Buhari to seek re-election in 2019 Posted: 09 Apr 2018 12:22 PM PDT  By Abraham Achirga and Felix Onuah ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari confirmed on Monday he will seek another term in elections next year, ending months of speculation about his future after bouts of ill health. The announcement by Buhari, a northern Muslim who became the first opposition candidate to defeat an incumbent at the ballot box, was widely expected although stocks on the Nigerian market fell 1.01 percent on Monday to a three-month low. Buhari took office in May 2015 after vowing to improve security and crackdown on endemic corruption, but Africa's top oil producer fell into its first recession in 25 years in 2016, largely caused by low crude prices and militant attacks in the Niger Delta, and its recovery remains fragile.

| Münster police search for motive of driver who killed himself after ploughing vehicle into crowd Posted: 08 Apr 2018 01:14 AM PDT  Police in Germany were on Sunday morning trying to make sense of why a 48-year-old local man with no known links to terrorism drove a minivan into a crowded open-air restaurant terrace, killing two people before shooting himself dead. Although the perpetrator has not been officially named, he has been identified locally as Jens R, a German citizen born about an hour south of the city of Münster, where the attack took place. "So far there are no indications of a possible motive. The investigation is being conducted at full speed and in all directions," Martin Botzenhardt of the local prosecutor's office said. Authorities are believed to have all but ruled out Islamist extremism as a motive, after establishing Jens R had no links to the Islamist scene. Instead they are said to be working on the theory the attack may have been a form of "extended" suicide. A body is loaded into a vehicle in front of the restaurant in Muenster, Germany Credit: David Young/dpa via AP Jens R is believed to have had a history of mental illness, and had reportedly made an earlier attempt at suicide. He also reportedly spoke of committing suicide in a "spectacular" manner. Complicating matters further, he is also said to have had links with the German far-Right scene, though it is not clear how close these alleged links were. According to some reports he had been in touch with far-Right groups over the internet, but was not politically active. He was also reportedly known to police for a number of petty crimes, such as stealing cell phones and car radios. Police have now ruled out earlier reports of two possible accomplices escaping from the minivan at the scene of the attack. A car drove into a group of people in the western German city of Münster Explosives teams were called in overnight to defuse what was at first feared to be a booby trap in the minvan, but it turned out to be fireworks. A second gun was also found inside the car. A search of Jens R's flat uncovered a Kalashnikov assault rifle, but it had been deactivated and was unable to fire. The two people killed in the attack were both German. They were identified on Sunday as a 65-year-old man from Borken, about an hour west of Münster, and a 51-year-old woman from Lüneburg, 180 miles to the north. Around 20 people were injured in the attack, and several were still in critical condition on Sunday morning according to the authorities. Who was the driver? Police said the driver, named locally as 48-year-old German national Jens R, shot himself dead after ramming into the crowd. According to a report by Süddeutsche Zeitung, the German newspaper, he had a history of mental health issues. Münster locator What happened? A van ploughed into people sitting outside on a warm afternoon in Münster, crashing into tables outside of the Grosser Kiepenkerl restaurant in the historic centre of the city. The restaurant is a popular tourist attraction in the picturesque city of 300,000 residents. Forensic experts work at the scene on Saturday Credit: David Young/dpa via AP Lino Baldi, who owns an Italian restaurant in Münster near the scene of the crash, told Sky TG24 that the city centre was packed due to a Saturday market and summer-like temperatures. The vehicle struck at 3.27pm as tourists and students basked in the sunshine. People light candles in tribute to the dead Credit: Friso Gensch/dpa via AP A witness told Germany's NTV: "There was a bang and then screaming. The police arrived and got everyone out of here. There were a lot of people screaming. I'm angry, it's cowardly to do something like this." German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: "This was a serious act of violence. My deep sympathy goes to all those who have lost a loved one." Münster is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, to the west of Germany near the border with the Netherlands. Around a fifth of the population are students, and there are four universities within the city. It is also known as the bicycle capital of Germany. Police officers and forensic scientists stand by the van used in the incident Credit: Alexander Koerner/Getty Images A spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said "our thoughts are with the victims and their families" who were killed and injured in the incident. Spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer on Twitter called the crash Saturday "terrible news." Katarina Barley, the German justice minister, added: "We must do everything to clarify the background of the incident." Markus Lewe, the city's mayor, said the motive was unclear. Let's not jump to conclusions, but this doesn't sound like a simple accident to me. https://t.co/SkjPZzFnoq— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 7, 2018 He added: "All of Münster is mourning this horrible incident. Our sympathy is with the relatives of those who were killed. We wish the injured a quick recovery. At this point we don't know the background to the incident." The Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed that they are in touch with local authorities in Germany and "stand ready to assist any British nationals who may be affected." Timeline of vehicle rampage attacks in Europe Vehicle attacks in Europe The incident happened on the one-year anniversary of a truck attack in Stockholm that killed five people and seriously injured 14 others. Germany has experienced a number of terrorist attacks in recent years, including through the deadly use of vehicles. In December 19, 2016, Tunisian national Anis Amri, 24, hijacked a truck and slammed it into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring 48. Amri was shot dead by Italian police in Milan four days later after travelling through several European countries. Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) claimed responsibility for that attack. Isil also claimed several similar attacks in Europe, including a rampage along Barcelona's Las Ramblas boulevard in August 2017 that killed 14 and left more than 100 injured. The deadliest such incident in recent years was in the French resort city of Nice in 2016, where a man rammed a truck into a crowd on France's national July 14 holiday, killing 86 people.

Stimulus from the tax cuts and subsequent spending increases will also boost short-term growth in the United States but not by as much as the White House expects, according to the CBO. In December, President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers slashed corporate and personal income tax rates to boost growth, a maneuver opposition Democrats denounced as a giveaway to the rich.
