Authorities detained hundreds of demonstrators. Navalny also served two stints in jailfor violating protest laws last year.

Hunting Bashar Assadʼs henchmen in Syria Western nongovernmental organizations have their hands on more than 1.2 million files that once belonged to the Syrian intelligence apparatus. They were taken from regime facilities during a time when opposition forces had the upper handin some parts of the country. They were then smuggled out of the country by NGOs. The Washington-based Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC) has now published an analysis of the documents which shows that the upper echelons of Syriaʼs leadership carry direct responsibly for Syrians who were tortured after anti-regime protests began in 2011. "This is the first time in Syriaʼs history that evidence concerning the highest level of the Syrian government has been unveiled," said SJAC Director Mohammad Al Abdallah.

Argentinaʼs ex-President Cristina Fernandez on trial ahead of election bid She can be prosecuted but, as a senator, not imprisoned

Former President Cristina Fernandez has accused her rivals of orchestrating a corruption trial to thwart her October election bid.

Argentinaʼs former president and current Senator Cristina Fernandez appeared at a court hearing on Tuesday to face charges of corruption, days after she announcedshe would run for the vice presidencyin elections later this year. Prosecutors accuse Fernandez of embezzlement through inflated public works contracts with businessman Lazaro Baez during her 2007-2015 presidency. In a series of statements on Twitter before the trial, Fernandez maintained her innocence and accused her rival President Mauricio Macri of politically motivated attacks. "A new trial where I should have never been summoned is beginning," she said on Twitter. "This is a new act of persecution with only one goal: to place a former president who opposes the current government on the defendantʼs bench during a presidential campaign." "Clearly itʼs not about justice," she added. "Just about creating a new smoke screen that aims to distract Argentines and Argentina — increasingly less successfully — from

the dramatic situation our country and our people live." Fernandez faces multiple other corruption investigationsinto her administration and that of her late husband, President Nestor Kirchner, but this case is the first one to reach court. The trial is scheduled to be extended for a year and approximately 160 witnesses will testify, with hearings held weekly. If she is found guilty, she could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. However, as a current senator she has immunity from arrest. Macri enters election with economy in tatters The trial comes after Fernandez on Saturday said she would run for vice president alongside her former cabinet chief Alberto Fernandez. She had previously been expected to run for president. A populist, Fernandez is a divisive politician yet popular among the poor. She had been viewed as a top challenger to the center-right Macri.

Macriʼs chances of reelection have come under threat due to a waning economy, high inflation, a weak currency and rising unemployment.

Fire department tops German survey; football and cigarettes lag Germans consider the fire department, police, constitutional court and large aid organizations as institutions contributing the most to the public good. That is according to the 2019 Public Value Atlas released on Tuesday by the Leipzig HHL Graduate School of Management in cooperation with the Center of Leadership and Values in Society at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. In the fourth study since the first was published in 2015, around 12,000 people were asked about the contribution of 137 companies and organizations for the common good. Ranking number one was the fire department, followed by the civil protection force ʼTechnisches Hilfswerkʼ (BTH) and the German Red Cross. The federal government controls the BTH, 99% of whose 79,514 members are volunteers. Police and the constitutional court were also ranked in the top ten, suggesting Germans maintain trust in institutions supporting the rule of law.

France cools Iran spat with new ambassador The French government has appointed an ambassador to Iran after the role was left vacant for months following a diplomatic dispute with the Islamic republic, according to a decree published in Franceʼs Official Gazette. The government named veteran diplomat Philippe Thiebaud (pictured), who once represented France at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, as its permanent representative in Iran.

Franceʼs AFP news agency reported that Iran had tapped Bahram Ghasemi, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, as its ambassador to France, another post left empty since the summer.

Iranʼs choice is a controversial one. Ghasemi, who previously served as ambassador to Italy and Spain, had earlier this week credited Lebanese militant group Hezbollah with preventing terrorist groups from reaching Europe.

Hezbollahʼs military wing is considered a terrorist group by the EU.

Germany extends ban on arms exports to Saudi Arabia Germany announced Wednesday it would extend a temporary ban on arms exports to Saudi Arabia until the end of the month. The ban, which Germany instituted followed the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and applies to countries involved in the Yemen war, has led to both domestic and international tension, with Chancellor Angela Merkelʼs government facing pressure from theGerman arms industryand some EU neighbors angered over the export freeze. The ban was originally set to last until March 9.

"We decided this [extension] with a view to developments in Yemen," Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said following a meeting of Merkelʼs cabinet. "We believe that the Yemen war must end as soon as possible."

"Not only will there not be any permits issued until the end of this month, but products with permits already granted will also not be delivered," Maas added. The minister said that the German government would evaluate the arms export situation with respect to developments in Yemen over the course of the month. Around 10,000 people are estimated to have been killed in the war in Yemen since 2015, when Saudi Arabia launched a military intervention in the country.

Austrian government on verge of collapse as EU election looms Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is to nominate a caretaker government

Former far-right Dutch politician converts to Islam A former Dutch far-right MP and right-hand man to anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders revealed he has converted to Islam. He was known for saying that Islam is "a lie" and the Quran is "poison." For years, as a lawmaker for Wildersʼ Freedom Party (PVV), Joram van Klaveren fought a relentless campaign in the Lower House against Islam in the Netherlands. Back then, according to the daily tabloid Algemeen Dagblad (AD), the "hardliner pleaded for banning the burqa and minarets, saying ʼwe donʼt want any Islam, or at least as little as possible in the Netherlands.ʼ" However, the 40-year-old Van Klaveren said he had changed his mind halfway through writing an anti-Islam book, which, on Tuesday, he told the respected NRC Handelsblad "became a refutation of objections non-Muslims have" against the religion.

He faces a vote of no-confidence in the wake of a scandal that saw the wholesale removal of coalition party politicians.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, after consultations with President Alexander Van der Bellen on Tuesday, announced he would appoint a new caretaker government to be in place for three months. Kurz, who faces a vote of no-confidence on Monday, was forced to call fornew elections in Septemberafter his governmentʼs coalition partner, theFreedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), was wiped out in the wake ofa video scandal

Austrians will vote in the EU-wide poll on Sunday. voted "yes" in the January 21 referendum, but said she fully understood those who made a different choice. "Many people in my city worry we are risking our economic prosperity, security and progressive spirit. It will take time for everyone to feel good about the outcome. Nevertheless, we need to give peace a chance.

Hopefully, the new Bangsamoro will live up to its potential."

Swedish royal heist jewelry found, reports say The trial of a young man accused of stealing royal jewelry from a Swedish cathedral was halted on Tuesday

when officials announced that the jewelry had been found in a rubbish bin in a Stockholm suburb.

Alain Delon receives Cannes honorary Golden Palm prize

The French actor is a European cinema star, famous for unforgettable roles in the 1960s. But his private life also made headlines — and Cannes Film Festivalʼs decision to award him an honorary Palme dʼOr sparked protest.

Cult imagery of film history definitely include Charlie Chaplinʼs Tramp, James Deanʼs utter cool, Marilyn Monroeʼs swirling white dress — and Alain Delonʼs performance as hit man Jeff Costello in the 1967 movie The Samurai. Delonʼs motionless face, fixed gaze, meticulous appearance and total arrogance in the movie are simply unforgettable. Along with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Michel Piccoli, Delon was one of the biggest stars in

Chinese investments in EU in a downward spin Chinese investments in the European Union fell sharply for the second consecutive year in 2018, a report by the Berlin-based Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) and US consulting firm Rhodium Group showed. Chinese companies completed FDI deals worth €17.3 billion ($19.6 billion) last year, down 40 percent from 2017 levels and way below the record €37.2 billion investment seen in 2016. The decline is part of a trend that has seen Chinese investments fall in most regions of the world over the past two years as Beijing continues to maintain a tight grip on outward investment by its residents amid slowing economic growth and atrade war with the United States.Chinese investors have also been forced to back away by "growing political and regulatory backlash against Chinese capital around the globe,"the authors of the report,Thilo Hanemann, Agatha Kratz and Mikko Huotari, wrote. "This shift in attitudes has been remarkably rapid in Europe," they said.

French cinema. On Sunday at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, he received an honorary Palme dʼOr ("Golden Palm") award "to pay tribute to his wonderful presence in the history of film." In announcing Delon as this yearʼs prize recipient, Cannes director Thierry Fremaux had praised Delon as "a giant, a living legend and a global icon," but the festival announcement also prompted controversy based on Delonʼs personal life.

Who is Daimlerʼs CEO Dieter Zetsche?

The retiring Daimler chairman is leaving a company that he joined in 1976.

After working his way up the ladder, he ran the German manufacturer for over 13 years. What did he do in all that time? The man with the walrus mustache More famous for his moustache and shunning ties than nearly anything else, Dieter Zetsche has run one of Germanyʼs biggest companies for 13-plus years. He is one of a handful of German bosses who is recognizable to the general public. Incidentally, his rein coincides nearly perfectly with

that of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, though she is staying in office a bit longer. A broken marriage Despite the fact that he joined the car company in 1976, it wasnʼt until he moved to Detroit to take over the helm of the Chrysler division of the combined DaimlerChrysler that the world really took notice. Though marketed as a 1998 merger, it was in reality a takeover that never took off. Zetsche ran the division from 2000-2005 before returning to Germany. Daimler later dumped the group in 2007.

Aircraft makers are optimistic about Farnborough despite Brexit The Farnborough Airshow is a major trade venue for the aeronautical industry. As manufactures set up their displays their thoughts hover between anticipation of the next big order and fears of Brexit says Andreas Spaeth.

The global aviation industry will come together on Monday at the Farnborough airfield southwest of London for its biennial industry fair — the second largest in the world after the Paris Air Show. The UK has traditionally been one of the worldʼs leading aviation countries and the Farnborough trade fairʼs roots date all the way back to 1920. It moved to its current location in 1948.

ITB Berlin tourism partner Malaysia claims it has ʼno gaysʼ Malaysia faces a potential backlash from lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) rights groups after claiming that the Muslim-majority country doesnʼt have gays. On Tuesday, Tourism Minister Datuk Mohammaddin bin Ketapi was asked by reporters ahead of the opening of the ITB Berlin tourism fair whether the country was safe for gay and Jewish visitors. After initially sidestepping the question, the minister was asked again whether gays were welcome and he replied: "I donʼt think we have anything like that in our country." Denial could hurt bookings Despite efforts by Malaysian officials to downplay the incident, Ketapiʼs comments could derail attempts to entice more tourists to visit Malaysia. The remarks came after he spoke for several minutes about the countryʼs natural beauty and welcoming culture. The country has set itself a target of receiving 30 million visitors in 2019.

Will faltering EU growth play a role in the European elections?

Economic growth is still weak and unevenly spread across the 28nation European Union, while job creation is only just beginning to improve. Will Europeʼs lackluster economy have an impact on the upcoming elections?

Tiger sharks feast on songbirds Study shows

A world breaks apart: When parents split up Developmental psychologistHarald Werneckvividly remembers the 12year-old who wouldnʼt eat the school lunch his dad had packed for him.

The childʼs father, as a result, got so furious at the boy that he then divorced the boyʼs mother and moved out — or at least, thatʼs how the boy had worked it all out in his head.

Children have their own perspective on their parentsʼ separation. They draw conclusions that may seem absurd to an adult mind, and yet they make perfect sense in the childʼs eyes. And these misinterpretations stick. So what can parents do to make separation easier for their kids? And what are the things they should not do, no matter how angry, sad or hurt they may be, if their relationship implodes? To try to answer those questions I spoke to children as well as psychologists.

Sandy Lupa Beach reopens for summer Tiger sharks are among the most dangerous shark species for us humans. A new study shows that songbirds are far more likely to fall victim to the predators.

When it comes tounprovoked attackson humans, tiger sharks are in the same class as great whites and bull sharks. Still, the statistical likelihood of a swimmer, surfer or diver actually getting bitten by one is rather low. Just over a hundred tiger shark attacks have been recorded since the late 16th century. Less than a third ended fatally.

That equates to one deadly attack roughly every 20 years. Now, a study has shown that songbirds have it far worse. To reach this conclu-

It was crazy. I had to get myself prepared for an exam, but the 10-yearold daughter of my Japanese host family had a cold and was sniffing and snorting loudly — nonstop.

"Blow your nose, drink hot water with lemon juice, and donʼt walk barefoot through the house," I advised her. Because thatʼs how Iʼd learned to do it. My host family looked at me uncomprehendingly.

"What do her feet have to do with

her nose? And why a lemon?" my host mother asked. "Moisture, wind and cold have penetrated her body," she added, "so you have to fight them with heat-generating food." She went on to say that even hot water with lemon juice in it is "cold food," since it adds even more cold to the body. Also, acid has a contracting effect. The result being: The disease would be kept imprisoned in the body for even longer.

DAPEST FOR HIS LOCAL CLUB DEBUT AT THE FOCAL AKVÁRIUM ON 25 MAY.

This weekend, for the third year running, Lupa Beach opens on the waterfront near Budakalász, just north of Budapest. And even if it isn’t quite swimsuit weather just yet, there are plenty of sports and other attractions to entertain the whole family. The sun might still be looking for his hat, but Lupa Beach is all ready for summer. This waterside leisure park and sports centre is one of the best features of Budapest from May to September.

Brighton beatmaster Fatboy Slim is coming to Budapest for his local club debut at the focal Akvárium on 25 May. The veteran of many a festival – Glasto, Exit, Coachella – has played Hungary before but never in the intimate surroundings of a sweaty club.

The booking represents a major coup for the Akvárium, whose line-up for 2019 also includes John Digweed and Kruder & Dorfmeister. Tickets have not yet gone on sale for Fatboy Slim in the Main Hall of the Akvárium – but keep an eye on theclub’s websiteas they’re bound to sell out in no time. Slim, who successfully shifted from indie to electronica in the 1990s, reignited his career with the hit Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat, in 2013.

Efe Obada is joking about the meeting room we are about to enter at the NFLʼs UK headquarters in central London. This is the roomʼs first meeting and a recently cut opening ribbon now hangs loose around the doorframe. Oversized golden scissors lie on the table and from the wall behind, one huge picture dominates the space.

It shows Obada, surrounded by a sea of his Carolina Panthers team-mates and grinning widely, just like everyone else. The photo was taken after the 26-year-old Britonʼsstunning NFL debut in September 2018.

Aleksandar Kolarovʼs free kick stunner secures Serbia win over Costa Rica A brilliant second half free kick from captain Aleksandar Kolarov led Serbia to a deserved win over Costa Rica. Serbia were wasteful in front of goal but did enough to secure three vital points in Group E. Another World Cup day, another sublime freekick. If Cristiano Ronaldo’s ice-cold effort tosnatch a point against archrivals Spain on day two was the current goal of the tournament front-runner, the Portuguese may have just met his match. Aleksandar Kolarov, take a bow. A combination of poor finishing and sublime goalkeeping had kept the scores level until Serbia’s no.11 produced his moment of magic. Kolarov’s powerful left foot is no secret, but few inside the stadium would have expected such a thunderous strike when the Roma defender stood over a free kick midway through the second half. His shot was unstoppable; a side-footed missile which screamed into the top corner of the Costa Rica net. Kaylor Navas, who kept his team in the game with several crucial saves either side of half time, was nowhere near it.

Formula One legend Niki Lauda dies at 70 He has passed away surrounded by family

Racing driver Niki Lauda, three-time Formula One champion, has passed away surrounded by family. His death has triggered an outpouring of praise for a man whose comeback from a horrific crash inspired F1 fans worldwide.

Austrian-bornNiki Lauda, one of the greatest Formula One (F1) drivers of all time, has died at the age of 70, his family announced on Tuesday. "His unique successes as a sportsman and entrepreneur are and remain unforgettable. His tireless drive, his straightforwardness and his courage remain an example and standard for us all," a family statement read. "Away from the public

gaze he was a loving and caring husband, father and grandfather. We will miss him very much." Lauda struggled with health problems ever since his 1976 crash. The racing driver crashed his Ferrari car at Germanyʼs Nürburgring Nordschleife race and remained trapped in the cockpit for 55 seconds, suffering burns and inhaling toxic fumes.

Caster Semenya to run 3,000m in Prefontaine Caster Semenya will race in the 3,000m at the Diamond League Prefontaine Classic on 30 June, a distance she can compete at without having to lower her testosterone levels.

Under new IAAF rules, the double 800m Olympic champion can run in events from 400m to the mile by taking medication. South African Semenya, 28, has said she will not take medication to comply with the rules.

The race will be her first since the rules came into effect on 8 May.

Women with higher than normal male hormone levels - so-called "hyperandrogenic" athletes - must now artificially reduce the amount of testosterone in their bodies to be allowed to compete in races between 400m and a mile. Semenya won the 800m at the Doha Diamond League meeting on 3 May, her first race since losing her appeal against the controversial rule changeat the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Following the outcome, Semenya, said the IAAF "always targeted me specifically".
