UPDATE 2-Top Democrats leave open option of impeaching Trump after Mueller report

Posted: 21 Apr 2019 08:55 AM PDT

Top congressional Democrats left the door open on Sunday to pursue the impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump, but said they would first need to complete their own investigations into whether he obstructed justice in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe. Democratic Party leaders have cautioned against impeachment just 18 months before the 2020 presidential election, although prominent liberals have called for the start of proceedings to remove Trump from office since the release on Thursday of Mueller's report.

Austria NGO fights hate online, one conversation at a time

Posted: 20 Apr 2019 08:59 PM PDT

When it comes to the problem of online hate speech, the culprits behind the keyboards and smartphones can take some surprising forms -- just take 74-year-old Viennese retiree Ms H. Angered by an article she read on the internet a year ago, the outwardly unassuming former midwife reacted with a Facebook outburst in which she said all immigrants should be poisoned on arrival in Austria. Since the end of 2017, several Austrian jurisdictions -- including Vienna -- have been trying to fight online abuse through a pilot programme called "Dialogue instead of hate" ("Dialog statt Hass").

Four Turkish soldiers were killed on Friday in clashes with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) near the border with Iraq, Turkey's Defence Ministry said on Saturday. Demiroren News Agency said a military base had been attacked in the mountainous Cukurca district of Turkey's southeastern province of Hakkari, prompting the Turkish military to respond with a "large-scale" military operation. "As part of ongoing operations in the Turkey-Iraq border, two soldiers were killed in clashes with terrorists despite all efforts to save them," the ministry said, adding a total of four soldiers were killed and six wounded.

Stadium debate ahead of Ukraine presidential runoff

Posted: 19 Apr 2019 08:54 AM PDT

A comedian tipped to take over Ukraine's presidency and his incumbent rival go head-to-head in an extraordinary stadium debate Friday, as campaigning reaches its grand finale before a weekend vote. Some 60,000 spectators are expected to attend the first and only policy head-to-head of the campaign, set to take place in Kiev's Olympic Stadium amid beefed-up security. The debate will bring to a close a race that at times descended into farce as the candidates exchanged insults and underwent drug tests at Zelensky's insistence.

As Indonesia president heads for poll win, police warn on security

Posted: 18 Apr 2019 02:51 AM PDT

The "quick counts" showed Widodo winning the popular vote with at least 54 percent, giving him a lead of around eight percentage points over former general Prabowo Subianto, who was narrowly defeated by Widodo in the election five years ago. The counts from reputable pollsters have proved to be accurate in previous elections, though the official result will not be announced until May. Prabowo, a former son-in-law of military strongman Suharto who was overthrown in 1998, said on Wednesday he was not trailing Widodo and believed his share of the vote was in a 52-54 percent range. "We have noted several incidents that have harmed the supporters of this ticket," Prabowo said, without giving detail.

Donors pledge nearly 700 mn euros to rebuild Notre-Dame

Posted: 16 Apr 2019 08:41 AM PDT

Pledges from French billionaires, businesses and the public sector to help rebuild Notre-Dame cathedral reached nearly 700 million euros (790 million dollars) on Tuesday amid an outpouring of public support for one of Europe's most iconic monuments. President Emmanuel Macron has vowed the mediaeval monument will be restored after its spire and roof collapsed Monday night in a blaze thought to be linked to extensive renovation work. French luxury group Kering, whose brands include Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci, kicked off the campaign late Monday with a promise of 100 million euros ($113 million).
