#MeToo claims rejected by Indian minister, former editor The 67-year-old Akbar threatened legal action against his accusers Sunday on his return from a trip to Nigeria, while Prime Minister Narendra Modiʼs government remained silent. "The allegations of misconduct made against me are false and fabricated, spiced up by innuendo and malice," said Akbar in a statement issued in New Delhi, asserting that he was facing an "agenda" just months before Indiaʼs general election. "I could not reply earlier as I was on an official tour abroad," he added. Timeline: one year of #MeToo Sundayʼs Asian Ageheadlined its coverage: "False and fabricated, will take legal action: MJ Akbar on #MeToo charges" Congress, Indiaʼs main opposition party, had already called for Akbarʼs resignation.

Claims against Akbar have mounted since a tweet on October 8 from journalist Priya Ramani, who said Akbar was the man she mentioned in a Vogue India article a year ago. Journalist Ghazala Wahab later said in an online post on The Wire that Akbar had "sexually harassed and molested" her, describing her last 6 months at The Asian Age as "pure hell with repeated physical advances."

"In democracy, thought cannot be delegated and left up to experts, performers or demagogues," the couple said, speaking at Frankfurtʼs historic St Paulʼs Church. Aleida Assmann, a 71year-old literary scholar and her 80-year-old husband, Jan, an Egyptologist, have both studied the question of how identity and consciousness in human cultures and societies are formed.

Meghan Markle pregnant as she and Prince Harry arrive in Australia The news comes as she and Prince Harry start a more than twoweek Pacific tour in Australia

UK, Germany, France press Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi disappearance In a joint statement on Sunday, France, Germany, and the UK said that "light must be shed" on the disappearance of the US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who had not been seen since entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul earlier this month. Turkish officials suspect that the Washington Post columnist was killed and dismembered inside the building. Riyadh rejects the allegations. Khashoggiʼs disappearance has sparked global outrage and demands for an explanation from top international officials. "There needs to be a credible investigation to establish the truth about what happened, and – if relevant – to identify those bearing responsibility for the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, and ensure that they are held to account," the three European powers said on Sunday.

Botched plane landing kills three in Germany Kensington Palace has announced that the Duchess of Sussex is expecting a child due in spring 2019.

Meghan Markle began her first overseas multicountry royal tour as she and Prince Harry landed in Sydney, Australia on Monday. The newlyweds will embark on a more than two-week tour of the Pacific that also includes Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, attending some 76 official events during the trip. Shortly after their arrival in Australia, Kensington Palace announced that the couple are expecting their first child in the spring of 2019. "Their royal highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public," the palace said in a statement. The baby will be seventh in line to the British throne. Koalas and games In Australia, Meghan and Harry will be welcomed on Tuesday by Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and his wife, Lynne. A more light-hearted visit will follow, when the Duke and Duchess of Sus-

sex visit the Taronga Zooʼs koalas.

The couple is set to attend the Invictus Games and also hold a meeting with the new Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison. The Invictus Games are an international Paralympics-style sport event for military personnel wounded in action, which was founded by Prince Harry. Additionally, the royal couple will visit the drought-stricken outback town of Dubbo and meet indigenous leaders on Fraser Island, the worldʼs largest sand island, in the northeastern state of Queensland. In a statement about the visit, Kensington Palace said that the couple looked forward to "building an enduring relationship with the people of the region" and that they had asked to meet as many locals from each country as possible.

A Cessna plane crashed through a barrier and hit two women and a child during a botched landing on Sunday, killing all three, German police said.

It was not immediately known if the victims were related. The pilot of the sports aircraft was apparently attempting to land on the mountain of Wasserkuppe in the central German state of Hesse. First responders have been deployed to the site. Hesseʼs public broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk said that the 56-year-old pilot was not injured. However, the three of his passengers were hospitalized due to light injuries, and an eyewitness was all treated for schock at the scene.

China offers Africa billions, ʼno strings attachedʼ Chinese President Xi Jinping (above, with Somalian President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed) pledged $60 billion (roughly €52 billion) in aid to African leaders duringa major summit in Beijingon Monday as part of Chinaʼs push to boost its influence abroad. Xi promised at the Forum on China-African Cooperation (FOCAC) that "Chinaʼs investment in Africa comes with no political strings attached."

"Chinaʼs cooperation with Africa is clearly targeted at the major bottlenecks to development. Resources for our cooperation are not to be spent on any vanity projects, but in places where they count the most," Xi said. Beijing has poured billions in its Belt and Road initiative, a development and investment scheme focused on promoting trade connectivity that places China at the center. Xi, however, stressed, that Belt and Road "is not a scheme to form an exclusive club or bloc against others."

Whatʼs behind Chinaʼs ʼnoninterferenceʼ in Africa?

President Xi Jinping told African leaders on Monday that Chinaʼs investments on the continent have "no political strings attached," pledging $60 billion (€51.6 billion) in new development financing, even as Beijing is increasingly criticized over its debt-heavy projects abroad. Xi offered the funding at the start of a two-day China-Africa summit that focused on his cherished Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The money — to be spent over the next three years — comes on top of $60 billion Beijing offered in 2015. Read more: Second-hand clothes, smuggling and the US-China trade war in Africa The massive BRI scheme is aimed at improving Chinese access to foreign markets and resources, and boosting Beijingʼs influence abroad.

China has poured billions in loans for roads, railways, ports and other major infrastructure projects in Asia and Africa. But critics warn that the Chinese leaderʼs pet project is burying some countries under massive debt. In a DW interview, Professor Helmut Asche says Chinaʼs development cooperation is overshadowing Western cooperation in terms of the speed of delivery, coverage and scope of infrastructure funding.

EU-UK Brexit deal talks put on ice EU and UK Brexit negotiators have paused talks until after this weekʼs EU summit

Amid some speculation that officials would confirm a provisional Brexit deal on Sunday, the Northen Irish issue got in the way, again.

British Brexit Minister Dominic Raab and EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier left protracted Brexit negotiations on hold on Sunday, with the issue of how to resolve the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland still the main sticking point. After a hastily arranged meeting late on Sunday with Raab in Brussels, Barnier tweeted that key issues remained open. The British government said in a statement on Sunday night that there were still "unresolved issues," but added the negotiators had made "real progress" toward an agree-

Turkish central bank to act on record inflation Official data from Turkey showed Monday that the countryʼs year-onyear inflation rate stood at 17.9 percent in August. Inflation is now at its highest level since September 2003, the year Recep Tayyip Erdogan first took power as prime minister. Ratings agencies and analystshad long called on the central bank to raise interest rates, but in July the lender kept them at 17.75 percent despite all warnings. While central banks typically try to dampen sharply rising consumer prices with interest rate hikes, Erdogan — now Turkeyʼs president — has opposed higher rates claiming they could cause even higher inflation. Decision in two weeks But the central bank said Monday that "recent developments regarding the inflation outlookindicated sig-

ment. The deadline for a Brexit deal is fast approaching. Brussels hoped to have a provisional deal in place this month, which could be signed off by EU leaders at their next summit in November. On Saturday, business website Bloomberg reported that British and EU officials had agreed to extend the 21-month transition period that kicks in following Brexit in March 2019. The transitional phase keeps Britain within the EUʼs single market and customs union, but London would lose its direct influence on policymaking in Brussels. nificant risks to price stability, pledging it would take action. "Our monetary stance will be adjusted at the September Monetary Policy Committee Meeting in view of the latest developments," the lender said of its forthcoming meeting on September 13. Also on Monday, Erdogan denounced the dollar as an obstacle to global trade.

"Weʼreproposing to trade in our own currency rather than the US dollar," he told a summit in Kyrgyzstan.

Two Malaysian women caned publicly for samesex relations Two Malaysian Muslim women convicted under Islamic Shariah law of attempting same-sex relations were given six strokes of the cane in public on Monday, with some 150 people witnessing their whipping. The women, aged 32 and 22, who had pleaded guilty last month to the charges leveled against them, received a fine in addition to the caning, which was carried out using a light rattan cane while they were fully clothed. The incident occurred in northeast Terengganu state. The punishment, which is banned under civil law in Malaysia, is allowed under Islamic law in the countryʼs dual-track legal system. The country, whose population is around 60 percent Muslim, has seen a recent rise in Islamic conservativism, with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in Malaysia regularly subjected to discrimination and hostility.

Korean Human Rights Foundation has been set at KRW800 million (€620,857), down 92.6 percent from the original sum of KRW10.8 billion (€8.4 million). Similarly, the budget for the organizationʼs database has been slashed by nearly 71 percent to KRW486 million (€377,201). Assistance to the more than 31,000 North Koreans, who have managed to flee the regime and settle in South Korea, has been reduced by more than 31 percent to KRW39.9 billion (€31.03 million), with the government saying that fewer North Koreans are defecting and there is therefore less need to support them once they reach the South. The South Korean government has previously withdrawn funding for a number of organizations, including the North Korean Defector Comradery, a group set up in 1999 to assist some of the people who have managed to flee the regime in finding jobs or to receive education or training.

Donald Trump: ʼNobody treats us much worse than the EUʼ The comments targeting the trans-Atlantic relationship come as USEU trade negotiations are in an early stage. In July, the two sides agreed to de-escalate a brewing trade fight.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday again railed against the trans-Atlantic trade relationship, claiming that "nobody treats us much worse than the European Union." "The European Union was formed in order to take advantage of us on trade, and thatʼs what theyʼve done," Trump said in a televised interview on CBS. Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Junkeragreed in Julyto reduce trade tensions and work toward elimination of tariffs on indus-

Germanyʼs political center sways toward populist fringes Populist attitudes are on the rise in Germany, particularly from within the political center. One in three voters now sympathizes with populist policies, according to a new study by the Bertelsmann Foundation.

Germanyʼs political center risks hollowing out as more voters admit embracing populist sympathies, according to a study published Monday by the Bertelsmann Foundation, a progressive think tank, in conjunction with the Berlin Social Science Center.

The latest "Populism Barometer" found that almost every third German voter sympathizes to some degree with populist anti-establishment policies, whether on the left- or rightwing of the political spectrum. At the same time, the number of sampled voters who identify as politically centrist has decreased by four percentage points, to just 32.8 percent. The survey, which sampled 3,400 voters in May and August, measured populist attitudes around an individualʼs tendency to sympathize with three core factors: anti-establishment attitudes, anti-pluralism and the desire for more "sovereignty."

trial goods. Both sides also agreed no new tariffs would be imposed as trade talks continue, taking US threats to impose levies on European auto imports temporally off the table. The ceasefire tamped down escalating trans-Atlantic trade tensions that threatened to morph into a tit-for-tat trade fight as witnessed between the US and China. An unorthodox Trump administration trade strategy with Mexico and Canada led the three sides to reach anew trade deal earlier this month.

Merkelʼs sister conservatives battered in Bavaria, Greens gain big

The Christian Social Union (CSU) won the most votes in Sundayʼs regional election in Bavaria, one of Germanyʼs conservative heartlands. But for only the third time in post-war history,Bavariaʼs dominant political force will have to share power. According to preliminary results, the CSU lost its absolute majority in the southern German state, taking 37.2 percent of the vote.

TheGreens earned the second-largest shareof the vote with at least 17.5 percent. They were followed by the right-

leaning Free Voters with 11.6 percent and the far-right populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party with 10.2 percent. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) continued to decline in popularity, getting only 9.7 percent, while the business-friendly Free Democratic Party was projected to clear the fivepercent hurdle needed for parliamentary representation. Those figures varied as more and more votes were counted, with the CSU making slight gains and the SPD minimal losses.

Franceʼs SNCF rail network plans driverless trains by 2023

French state railway concern SNCF announced the project for mainline, long-distance trains which is to be financed by the SNCF, the French state and commercial partners. French cities, including Paris, already have driverless metro trains. The €57 million ($66 million) first phase of the development is divided into two consortia: A prototype for driverless freight trains which includes the commercial Alstom, Altran, HitachiAnsaldo and Apsys (Airbus) companiesA passenger train prototype for regional TER routes which will be developed in partnership with Bombardier, Bosch, Spirops and Thales.

SNCF said it is in discussions with Deutsche Bahn to promote a European standard for driverless trains.

Director of the autonomous train project Luc Laroche said: "These human and technological issues are considerable ones. We are mobilizing the collective intelligence, competence and savoir-faire of our partners from the varied world of industry." "These partners constitute a world first for ambition, approach and combined skills," Laroche said.

Turkish delights in Montenegro entice entrepreneurs The "Vektra" building in Podgorica is considered the business core of the Montenegrin capital and the meeting point for businessmen, politicians, as well as people simply wanting to be seen. Amid the bustling crowd, the newly opened "Istanbul Corner" restaurant is an island of calm, standing out from the modern-looking cafes nearby. The owner, 31-year-old Kaya Dogus, greets DW with a smile and a cup of Turkish tea. "Iʼve been living in Montenegro for nearly a year," Kaya says. "I moved here completely by accident. | came in to buy an apartment in Budva and just thought I could live here and start a business," he told DW. "I like it, because itʼs peaceful and safe. My wife and children are now with me." Kaya is just one of around 2,500 Turkish citizens living in Montenegro, which has a population of about 620,000. Most of Kajaʼs compatriots arrived over the last two years, fleeing the worsening political and economic crises in Turkey.

Open source pharma: How to stop the rot in drug discovery Thereʼs something rotten in the state of pharma — greed, secrecy, inefficiency — itʼs all there. And thereʼs no easy fix. But moves toward a more caring, sharing industry through "open source pharma" may be a start.

Hereʼs the case for a more caring, sharing pharmaceutical industry — one that works with academia, and other public bodies, in the public interest to discover the medicinal drugs and vaccines our global society urgently needs. And not just for the interests of shareholders. Itʼs a model for open source pharma — an alternative way of funding and working in drug discovery. For some itʼs a naive idea, for others itʼs the only way forward, and has been for some time.

Donald Trump makes Ohioʼs Youngstown great again In this region traumatized by a decades-long beat-down from harsh economic realities mostly beyond its power, a new generation is fighting to build a prosperous future. But the hum of a poignant song still resonates around the Mahoning Valley.

"Well my daddy come on the Ohio works, when he come home from World War Two, now the yardʼs just scrap and rubble, he said, ʼThem big boys did what Hitler couldnʼt do.ʼ" So sings Bruce

Springsteen in his ballad "Youngstown." A tribute to the declining steel industry here, it gives voice to decades of bubbling frustration. Youngstowners had been listening to The Bossʼs serenade for 21 years when, in 2016, they found a new voice that needed just four words: Make America Great Again.

The town of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, also known as the Steel Valley, remain at the center of understanding the ascendance of Donald Trump.

US sees gas exports to Germany by 2022 Companies from the US will start delivering liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Germanywithin the next four years, US deputy energy secretary, Dan Brouillette, told German newspaper Bild on Monday. "US liquefied natural gas is coming to Germany. The question is not if, but when," Brouillette said. American LNG would cost more than existing gas supplies from the Netherlands and Russia, but the entry of US suppliers onto the German market would set a price ceiling for Russian state-run export monopoly Gazprom, Brouillette went on. "Because US LNG is here, Gazprom cannot demand whatever it wants," he added. Read more: Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline – What is the controversy about? Russiaʼs gas exports to Europe rose 8.1 percent in 2017 to a record 193.9 billion cubic meters, with Gazprom holding an effective monopoly over Russiaʼs network of pipelines to Europe, supplying 40 percent of Europeʼs gas.

Chinaʼs trade surplus with the US hits another record high

Chinaʼs vast export engine unexpectedly accelerated in September, producing a record trade surplus with the United States that could worsen already strained relations between Beijing and Washington.

Chinaʼs trade surplus with the United States ballooned to a record $34.1 billion in September —surpassing the previous all-time high of $31.05 billion set in August— despite a raft of US tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under efforts to pluck the trade gap. According to data released by the Chinese Customs Office on Friday, this was the result of a surprise jump in September exports to the US, which grew to $46.7 billion (€40.3 billion). At the same time, Chinese imports from the US slumped to $12.6 billion from the previous month. Analysts have said the strong export growth in the worldʼs second largest economy is indicating that high US tariffs on Chinese goods are not biting yet.

Are astronauts stuck on the ISS? A few questions and answers

The only rocket that takes humans to space has been grounded. Until "spring." That has all sorts of consequences for the astronauts on the space station.

Does Alexander Gerst and the crew of the ISS have enough food? Yes. They have plenty of food. They will not starve. And it is good food. Can they still get home? Yes. Thereʼs a Soyuz spacecraft attached to the ISS thatʼs just begging to take them all back to Earth. And they can go whenever theyʼd like. Yes, yes, yes, this is the same spacecraft that once had a two-millimeter hole in it. But that hole was in a section that has no rel‐ evance whatsoever to the crewʼs reentry. Itʼd be like discovering a hole at the airport near your gate, then boarding your perfectly safe airplane and leaving that hole far behind. So whatʼs the big deal then?

Right now there is no operational rocket on Earth that can bring people to the ISS. Thatʼs just... spooky, isnʼt it? Thereʼs no way to get up there. It just feels like weʼve lost an important lifeline, even if temporarily. Thatʼs how dependent we were on the Soyuz, which remains the worldʼs most "robust, reliable and sound" manned rocket, as Thomas Reiter, the German astronaut who advises ESAʼs director general, told DW after the failed launch. In the tweet below, the head of Roscosmos (pictured center) loosely identifies "spring" as the time the Russian space agency hopes to fly the two crewmembers to the ISS. Thatʼs... quite a while.

Changing attitudes toward waste can transform communities I believe two things — that there is no such thing as waste and that no one should be treated like waste. My journey to realizing this has been very personal. I grew up in Ilorin, in northcentral Nigeria. I lost my father when I was 12 and entered a very dark phase in my life. People told me I was useless, that I couldnʼt do anything with my life. I fell into poverty and then went through very severe depression for a long time.At 16, I left home and had persistent low self-esteem.

A voice in my head told me that I was

worthless. Then somehow, slowly, I started to engage with my environment again. I moved to Ille-Ife in southwest Nigeria and started noticing that there were a lot of people out there like me: people that are marginalized and feel like no one cares about them. I started working with an NGO and it was then I started to understand what happens in rural communities in Nigeria. I met people that felt like they were on the edge of the world, they didnʼt have access to education, health care or livelihoods.

Things you can do to avoid climate catastrophe Weʼve already warmed the world about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times — with disastrous effects. Sea levels are rising, coral reefs are dying, species are going extinct and extreme weather is on the increase. A newreport by the United Nationsʼ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)reveals what life on Earth would look like if temperatures were to rise another 0.5 to 1.5 degrees Celsius. It also paints a picture of what a 2-degree warmer world would look like. In the report, more than 90 scientists from 40 countries agree that itʼs still possible to remain under 1.5 degrees of global warming — at least technologically — and outlined what we must do to make that happen.

However, a lot of political will be required. But there are also things that normal people can do to avoid climate catastrophe. Here are six concrete ways you can take action on climate change.

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.

Usain Bolt questions why he is being drug tested as he is not yet a professional footballer

Usain Bolt has questioned why he has received a notice for a drugs test from Australiaʼs anti-doping authority (Asada), saying he is not yet a professional footballer. The eight-time Olympic sprint championhas been on trialwith A-League club Central Coast Mariners andscored twice on his first start in a friendly on Friday. Bolt says he has been told he is being tested as he is an "elite athlete". The 32-yearold Jamaican retired from athletics in 2017.

Leroy Sane: Manchester City winger must improve, says Germanyʼs Toni Kroos

Leroy Sane is not fulfilling his potential and must improve his attitude to do so, says the Manchester City wingerʼs Germany team-mate Toni Kroos.

Sane, 22, was left out of Germanyʼs World Cup squad, but has returned for Thursdayʼs Uefa Nations League tie with France and a Sunday friendly with Peru. But he is yet to start for City this season, and was dropped on Saturday. "Sometimes you have the feeling with Leroyʼs body language that itʼs all the same if we win or lose," Kroos said.

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."

Mick Schumacher wins Formula 3 European title with race to spare The 19-year-old finished second in race two of the season finale in Hockenheim

Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael, won the Formula 3 European title with a race to spare.

The 19-year-old finished second in race two of the season finale in Hockenheim, Germany, to establish an unassailable lead in the driversʼ standings. In Sundayʼs race three, Prema driver Schumacher finished second again for his 14th podium of the season. "I am absolutely delighted," German Schumacher said.

"What this team has achieved over the last year is unbelievable." Schumacher, who failed to score in the opening race in Hockenheim following a first-lap collision, held a 49-point advantage going into the

final round in Germany and only needed to avoid dropping 15 points to title rival Dan Ticktum in race two. Ticktumʼs Motopark teammate Juri Vips won race two from pole position, and with Ticktum coming home in seventh, Schumacherʼs second-place finish was enough to seal championship victory. His Prema team-mate Robert Shwartzman won race three. Schumacherʼs title comes a year after he placed 12th overall in his debut F3 season and he is tipped to follow in his fatherʼs footsteps into F1.

Shanghai Masters: Novak Djokovic beats Borna Coric to extend winning run Novak Djokovic continued his superb form by beating Croatiaʼs Borna Coric in the final of the Shanghai Masters.

The second seed, 31, beat 21-year-old Coric 6-3 6-4 in 97 minutes to claim his fourth Shanghai title. Coric, the 13th seed, upset Roger Federerin Saturdayʼs semi-finalsto reach his first Masters 1000 final. Serb Djokovic has won 18 consecutive matches since losing at the Rogers Cup on 10 August, and will re-

place Federer as world number two on Monday. The 14-time Grand Slam champion cruised through the first set, dropping just four points on his serve.

Coric recovered from 3-0 down in the second to earn a break point at 3-2 before saving three championship points to break Djokovic and make it 5-4. But Djokovic won his 26th straight set to clinch his fourth title of 2018 and go just 35 points behind Rafael Nadal in the ATP Race for London.
