US mail bomb threats: What we know so far Authorities warned that there may be more devices in the mail system than the 12 devices
US authorities have arrested a man in Florida in connection with a total of 12 suspected pipe bombs sent to US Democrats, their supporters, and critics of US President Donald Trump. Law enforcement officials say the man is in his 50s but have released no further information. Authorities also impounded a white van said to belong to him and are currently transporting it to a government facility for analysis. Federal authorities have warned that more packages may be in the postal system. The list of targets spreads from New York, Delaware and Washington, DC, to Florida and California withdetails of the packages suggesting a pattern. The items were packaged in manila envelopes, addressed to prominent Trump critics and carried US postage stamps. The mail bomb timeline so far: October 22: The first device was found in a postbox near the New York home of billionaire businessman George Soros — a major donor to the Democratic Party. October 23:The Secret Serviceuncovered a second package addressed to Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Earlier this month Clinton had said: "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about." October 24 morning: Asuspected bomb en route to former President Barack Obama was intercepted in Washington DC. Another package wassent to broadcaster CNNʼs New York office, causing the entire building to be evacuated. That package was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan — a Trump critic who had been due to ap-
pear on CNN that day. Police said they found an "envelope containing white powder" in the packaging of the device. "There is a total and complete lack of understanding at the White House about the seriousness of their continued attacks on the media," said CNN president Jeff Zucker. "Words matter. Thus far, they have shown no comprehension of that." October 24 afternoon:It was then revealed that former Attorney General Eric Holder had been sent a suspected bomb. But the package had ended up at the office of representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Sunrise, Florida, which was listed as the return address. It was then reported that another device addressed to Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters had been found at a mail sorting facility near Washington, DC. A second suspicious package addressed to her was later discovered in Los Angeles. In June, Waters had called on supporters to harass Trumpʼs cabinet members in public. Speaking at the White House, Trump condemned "acts or threats of political violence," saying they "have no place in the United States." October 25 morning: A suspected explosive device was sent to aManhattan restaurant owned by actor Robert De Niro, a vocal Trump critic. Two officials told the Associated Press that a person working at De Niroʼs Manhattan office called police after seeing images of a package bomb sent to CNN and recalling a similar package addressed to the actor. It was later revealed that two suspected bombs weresent to former Vice President Joe Bidenin his home state of Delaware.
Support grows for EUwide arms embargo on Saudi Arabia
China, Japan willing to mend ties amid Trump challenge
Bangladesh: Beware of what you say on talk shows
Austria and the European Parliament have urged for a bloc-wide halt on arms exports to Saudi Arabia following Jamal Khashoggiʼs death. Germany also backed the proposal, but other key exporters were silent or unconvinced. As outrage over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi continues to grow, more countries within the European Union are reconsidering their weapons exports with Saudi Arabia, with Austria calling for an EU-wide ban on Friday.
Chinaʼs ongoing trade spate with the US has dominated Japan PM Shinzo Abeʼs visit to the country. The first Sino-Japanese summit since 2011 could further thaw relations between Asiaʼs two biggest economies. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Friday that Japan and China have a duty to ensure regional security. On his first bilateral visit to China, Abe added that the two countries need to normalize ties and work together on the North Korea issue.
Famous talk show hosts like Zillur Rahman and Nobonita Chowdhury, along with their guests, may have to speak more carefully when on television, as they could be jailed for giving "false" or "misleading" information. If thereʼs one thing that has turned global attention to Bangladesh over the past several years, itʼs the repeated attacks by extremists on secular bloggers, activists and public intellectuals in the country.
Investigators have arrested a man in Florida in connection with pipe bombs sent to Democrats and Trump critics. Authorities warned that there may be more devices in the mail system than the 12 devices found so far.
German jailed in Turkey on terrorism charges A Turkish court on Friday sentenced aGerman man to six years and three months in prison for membership of a terrorist organization. In addition, he received a suspended sentence of one year and eight months in jail for entering a military exclusion zone.

Ceasefire on Israel-Gaza border largely holds as UN warns sides are on ʼbrink of warʼ
A ceasefire announced by Hamas largely held along the Israel-Gaza border on Sunday, a day after the most intense exchange of fire between Israel and the Palestinian group since the 2014 Gaza war. Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of airstrikes in the densely populated Gaza Strip on Saturday on what it said were Hamas military, training and supply targets, while Hamas and Islamic Jihad fired nearly 200 rockets and mortars at Israel. Read more: Israel and Gazaʼs militant groups agree to ceasefire The Israeli airstrikes wounded more than 20 people and killed two teenage boys, Palestinian health officials said, while a Hamas rocket injured four Israelis. Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007, and Islamic Jihad announced the Egyptian and UNbrokered ceasefire late Saturday. The Israeli military said its response would depend on the situation on the ground. After the ceasefire announcement, four mortars were fired into Israel early Sunday. In response, Israeli planes destroy at least one launch site. Israel also carried out three airstrikes later in the day on what it said were Hamas squads launching incendiary balloons and kites across the border. 2

Iraq braces for more unrest as Basra protests gather pace An estimated 200 protesters gathered on Monday morning at the main gate leading to three of Iraqʼs major oil fields in the southern oil-exporting city of Basra. Protests in Basra, Iraqʼs second-largest city, started last Tuesdaywhen security forces opened fire, killing one person and wounding five. They soon spread to other provinces. Read more: Iraq hangs 13 ʼISʼ prisoners as PM Haidar al-Abadi calls for ʼjust retributionʼ The oil hub of Basra and other parts of the Shiʼite south have long been neglected, first by Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein and then by Shiʼite-led governments. But an ongoing political crisis and the recent rhetoric of Grand Ayatollah alSistani, the top Shiʼite cleric in the country have also clearly aggravated the situation.
It alleges the Irish carrier received the funds from regional authorities at its base at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. Brussels announced on Friday it had opened an in-depth probe into a number of marketing and financial deals between Irish carrier Ryanair and Frankfurt-Hahn Airport in Germany. The European Commission said the investigation served the purpose offinding out whether regional authorities had provided any illegal state aid to the airline. "We will investigate whether regional and local authorities in Germany, against the rules, gave an unfair advantage to Ryanair over its competitors," EU Competition Com-
Trade tensions hit Chinese growth Chinese growth slowed slightly in the second quarter as the worldʼs number two economy faced a snowballing trade fight with the United States, after Washington and Beijing slapped new tariffs on $34 billion (€29 billion) of each othersʼ goods earlier this month, with threats of further tariffs on goodsworth an additional $200 billion. Despite this escalation, the Chinese economy expanded by 6.7 percent in the second quarter from a year ago. This is down from 6.8 percent in the first quarter, according to official figures released on Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics. Nonetheless, the growth was still higher than the gov-
missioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement. Brussels explained it was specifically looking into training aid and funding for a crew and pilot school plus a maintenance hall that the Irish no-frills airline received between 2009 and 2017. Ryanair said in a statement that it was "confident" that its Frankfurt-Hahn agreement fully complied with EU State aid rules. "The EU has previously investigated this matter in 2014 and ruled that there was no state aid involved in the agreement." ernmentʼs annual target of around 6.5 percent. China faced an "extremely complex environment both at home and abroad," said Mao Shengyong, a spokesperson for the national statistics bureau, noting that growth nonetheless remained strong.
UK reveals fighter jet ʼTempestʼ for post-Brexit era Williamson said the "world-beating" jet can be used unmanned, as a drone, or with pilots. It is scheduled to be operational by 2035. The UK is to invest 2 billion pounds ($2.7 billion, €2.3 billion) to 2025 in the stealth warplane, which will involve British companies BAE Systems and Rolls-
Royce as well as Anglo-Italian Leonardo and pan-European MBDA. Aiming to ensure UK leadership in defense Williamson said the program was designed to ensure Britainʼs continued leadership in fighter technology and control of airspace in future conflicts. Last year,France and Germany signed an agreementto develop Europeʼs next-generation fighter jet to replace the aging Rafale and Eurofighter jet by 2040, involving Europeʼs Airbus and Franceʼs Dassault Aviation. Following the 2016 Brexit referendum, Airbus moved to partner with Dassault at the expense of Britainʼs BAE Systems. There are concerns in Britain that its defense industry may be shut out from EU plans for next-generation fighter jets, although, officially, both projects have invited other companies to join.

Air guitarists compete for world title (and world peace) in Finland The elite among the international air guitar scene donʼt just gather each year in the Finnish city of Oulu to shake their long hair and jump around on stage, but also to strive for loftier humanitarian goals. According to the ideology of the Air Guitar World Championships, as stated on the official website, "wars would end, climate change stop and all bad things disappear, if all the people in the world played the air guitar." Contestants from six countries are gearing up for the final of the air guitar world championships on Friday, organizers said. Contestants are judged on their ability to pretend to strum rock or heavy metal electric guitar solos — minus the instrument.
A new exhibition celebrates 100 years of Budapest’s Gellért Hotel A recreated Baroque-style guest room, photos of the building taken during World War II and Communist-era posters reflect the history of Budapest’s most legendary hotel, the Gellért. A new exhibition at the Museum of Commerce & Catering celebrates the centenary of this institution which opened on 24 September 1918. Attached to the hotel is Budapest’s Art Nouveau Gellért Baths, whose outdoor wave pool, also illustrated at the museum, was the first of its kind in the world. Tucked away in the cobblestoned district of Óbuda, the former residence of Hungarian writer Gyula Krúdy is now home to a charming museum. Here, permanent displays include old-fashioned shop interiors illustrating the history of commerce and catering. This same building also hosts relevant seasonal exhibitions, such as the recently opened Gellért 100 to commemorate the centenary of the Gellért Hotel, a splendid Art Nouveau landmark towering above the Buda riverfront. Opened during the turmoil of World War I, during its long history, the Gellért has accommodated the likes of former US president Richard Nixon and the Dalai Lama. They both enjoyed the hotel’s fine facilities that are now brought to life through historic objects and images currently on show at the museum.

The radio drama that shocked America 80 years ago and the modern birth of fake news
Itʼs tea time! How the Germans pour the brew
The term "Fake News” has been around for a while. 80 years ago, Americans experienced a Fake News event that has an indelible place in 20th century legend. On the evening of Sunday, October 30, 1938, listeners who had tuned in to dance music on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) radio network heard a news flash interrupt the "regular" program. A series of unusual explosions had been observed on the planet Mars, and a mass of hydrogen gas was moving towards Earth. The broadcast went back to dance music. Another news flash interrupted the orchestra, to inform listeners that a strange object had landed in a field in rural New Jersey.
While the British may be famous for their tea rituals, one part of Germany overtakes them when it comes to consumption. But just what is an East Frisian tea ritual? A look at how the Germans imbibe. Germans are well-known for their fruity Rieslings, liters of beer and coffee and cake traditions. But according to the German Tea Association, one region of the country consumes per capita more tea than any other country in the world. East Frisia, in the rainy coastal northwest, takes the crown for amount of tea drunk per person, with an estimated 300 liters each year, just ahead of Kuwait and Ireland. Yet the East Frisian tea ritual is hardly known outside of the area. (The rest
of Germany sips just one-tenth that amount, preferring coffee instead.) A strong black mix Visiting the sparsely-populated towns, you might get the sense that hot tea serves as an ideal way to ward off the cold and damp when the sea breezes roll in. Yet according to folklore, the tea was simply a more economic choice for the fishermen and farmers than the more exotic coffee tradition that took over the coffeehouses across Europe in the 19th century.
World Press Photo exhibition open in Budapest
How a ʼhardʼ Brexit might affect the arts and culture In Scotland, more precisely on the stage of the "Leith Theatre" in Edinburgh, the curtain rises on November 10 for The Last Days of Mankind (see photo). The play by Karl Kraus has seldom been more topical. The Austrian wrote his drama between 1915 and 1922 as a "tragedy in five acts," in which he addressed the inhumanity and absurdity of war. The play shows where political conflict can lead. Conflicted is also an apt description for the state of affairs between the European Commission and the British government. Negotiations over a
Brexit deal are stagnating. Will it be possible to reasonably sort out the European-British relationship for the period after the official withdrawal date of March 29, 2019? Thereʼs reason to be skeptical. The German Cultural Council has called it a "mess," especially since cultural issues have not yet been negotiated at all. "We have grounds for being nervous," Olaf Zimmermann, the Councilʼs managing director, told Deutsche Welle. "The less regulated it is, the more difficult it becomes for everyone."
A heartwarming hug, exploited sex workers and all of the chaos and calamity caused by an increasing terrorist attacks and conflict. The annual World Press Photo travelling exhibition once again portrays milestones from the past year through the best works of photojournalism. The exhibition is on view until October 23rd at the Hungarian National Museum. If you just visit one show in Budapest this autumn, it should be this one.

Monaco: Thierry Henry on manager shortlist to replace Leonardo Jardim
Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is being considered as a replacement for manager Leonardo Jardim at Monaco. The French club are expected to sack their Portuguese boss, 44, with the team third from bottom in Ligue 1 with six points from nine games. Henry, 41, who ison the shortlistfor a similar role at Aston Villa, began his professional career at Monaco and helped them win Ligue 1 in 1997. Jardim led the club to another French title in 2017, their first since 2000. The former Sporting Lisbon manager was appointed by Monaco in 2014 and helped develop players such as Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, Atletico Madridʼs Thomas Lemar, and Manchester City pair Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy. Jardim also guided the French side to the Champions League semi-finals during the 2016-17 campaign.
Angelique Kerber eliminated from WTA Finals
The German tennis star missed out on the semifinals of the WTA Finals in Singapore after losing to Sloane Stephens in straight sets. Stephens and Kiki Behrens advance to the semifinals of the season-ending tournament. Angelique Kerberʼs tennis season has come to a somewhat premature end after she lost 3-6, 3-6 to Sloane Stephens in her third and final match of the WTA Finals in Singapore. The world number two failed to convert seven break points in the first set and found herself 4-2 down after Stephens broke her serve. Kerber also fell behind quickly in the second set before battling back to 3-3, but a misfired forehand gave Stephens the match-winning break the American needed to see out the match. 6
London Broncos have long-term ambition to win Super League title Promoted London Broncos must have the ambition to win Super League in the future, says head coach Danny Ward. The Broncos will be back in the top flight in 2019 afterbeating Toronto Wolfpack 4-2 in the Million Pound Gameon Sunday. "We need to make it work, have a five-year plan of where we want to be," Ward told BBC Radio London. "Next year is going to be tough but we want a long-term vision to make London the best club in the country." He added: "We donʼt just want to compete in Super League, but win it. We are not there just to survive." Ward, who took charge following the departure of Andrew Henderson at the end of last season, described their victory over the Wolfpack in Canada as "one of the proudest moments" of his career. "What a performance, what a day and what an achievement - I am still on a massive high," he said on their return to England. "To lead the club into the Million Pound Game and win promotion is one of my biggest ever achievements."
FIFA puts Club World Cup, Nations League plans on hold The move comes amid pushback from the World Leagues Forum and European Leagues
FIFA has set up a task force to examine plans for a revamped Club World Cup competition and a Global Nations League. World footballʼs governing body FIFA has put plans for an overhaul of the Club World Cup and a Global Nations League on hold, instead establishing a task force to examine the two competitions in more detail. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said an agreement was reached at Fridayʼs FIFA Council meeting in Kigali, Rwanda to "bolster the consultation process." Infantino will lead the task force of regional con-
federation presidents to look into the $25 billion overhaul of the competitions. During a news conference, Infantino said that the task force would present its findings at a council meeting in Miami on March 14. "On the topic that heated some of the media, we have taken a decision to create a task force at least," said the FIFA president. "There are different points of views, different opinions. Itʼs perfectly normal."
Rory McIlroy 16 behind in Shanghai as Tony Finau leads Rory McIlroy dropped 16 shots off the pace at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai after an errorridden five-over 77 in Fridayʼs second round. The 29-year-old reached the turn in 35 after three birdies and two bogeys. But he bogeyed his 10th, the first, triple bogeyed the next after twice finding water and double-bogeyed 16. Tony Finauʼs 67 left the American three ahead of English duo Tommy Fleetwood (68) and Justin Rose (67) plus overnight leader Patrick Reed (72). McIlroyʼs problems at his 11th,
the second, came after he had hit a perfect drive that left him only a short iron into the par five. However, the world number fiveʼs second shot flew over the green into a water hazard and after he mis-hit his chip, his ball trickled into the same hazard again. The former world number one is in a share of 58th in the 77-man event heading into the final two days of the no-cut tournament. McIlroy has not won sinceclaiming the Arnold Palmer Invitational- which was his first victory since 2016 - in the United States in March.
