Leading bump stock maker briefly makes product available again Posted: 07 Nov 2017 12:36 PM PST The company had paused sales in early October when their product came under scrutiny, but on Tuesday they were available online briefly. Bump-stock devices like the ones used by the gunman in last month's Las Vegas massacre briefly went back on sale from the US's leading manufacturer after a five-week hiatus in the shooting's aftermath on Tuesday. The devices, accessories that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at fully automatic rates, went back on sale at 11am ET on Tuesday on the Slide Fire website, but by 2.30pm sales had again been halted to "replenish inventory". |

Lebanon's Hariri visits UAE as home crisis escalates Posted: 07 Nov 2017 09:59 AM PST By Angus McDowall BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon's outgoing prime minister, Saad al-Hariri, made a brief visit to the United Arab Emirates from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday despite a deepening crisis back home and a rise in regional tensions triggered by his surprise resignation. Hariri announced his resignation on Saturday during a visit to his ally Saudi Arabia and has not yet returned to Lebanon. |

Posted: 07 Nov 2017 03:09 AM PST A have-a-go-hero helped prevent further victims of the Sutherland Springs gunman by shooting the suspect and then chasing him with another hero, it emerged on Monday. Stephen Willeford, who lives near the Texas church targeted yesterday, grabbed his own rifle and rushed to confront Devin Kelley after being told an attack was under way by his daughter. As the 55-year-old arrived outside the church he came face-to-face with Kelley. Mr Willeford, a plumber with no military experience, shot him in the side through a gap in his body armour, forcing the killer to flee. Johnnie Langendorff, left, and Stephen Willeford helped stop the gunman Mr Willeford and another passing resident, Johnnie Langedorff, then chased him at almost 100 miles per hour in a car as the wounded killer tried to make a getaway after taking a hostage. Kelley is said to have killed 26 people – including a child aged five – when he stormed into the church on Sunday dressed in black tactical gear and armed with an assault rifle. Have-a-go-hero chases down Sutherland Springs gunman 01:47 Freeman Martin, regional director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said: "The suspect dropped his rifle, which was a Ruger AR assault-type rifle, and fled from the church. The man then chased the gunman." Mr Langedorff said: "He got a little bit of a jump on us. So we were doing about 95 miles per hour, going around traffic and everything. "He just lost control and that's when I put the vehicle in park. The other gentleman jumped out and had his rifle drawn on him and he didn't move after that." Suspect Devin Kelley Credit: Mr Langendorff told KSAT television that he was acting on instinct to try to prevent the suspect from escaping. He said the member of the community asked for help and got into Mr Langendorff's truck. They took off at high speed in pursuit of the gunman on a nearby highway as police were going in the opposite direction toward the church. Mr Langendorff said the gunman eventually lost control of his vehicle and crashed. He said the other civilian walked up to the vehicle with his gun drawn and the suspect did not move. He stood guard over the gunman until police arrived five to seven minutes later. Mr Langendorff said: "I was strictly just acting on what's the right thing to do." Social media users have heaped praise on him. How the Texas church mass shooting unfolded One wrote on his Facebook page: "Well done, Johnnie! You're a true patriot and a hero. Thank you for coming to the aid of those in need, at such a terrible time." Kelley was found a short distance away in his crashed vehicle, dead from a bullet wound. He had several more guns in his car, but the hostage was unhurt. Police believe Kelley committed suicide. The local sheriff said relatives of the gunman sometimes worshipped at the church but were not there during Sunday's attack. "We know that his ex-in-laws or in-laws came to church here from time to time," Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt Jr. told CNN in an interview. "They were not here yesterday." Emergency personnel respond to a fatal shooting at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas Credit: KSAT via AP President Donald Trump praised Mr Willeford for preventing further casualties, as he ignored questions about whether the US needs to consider tightening gun laws. Speaking at a news conference in Japan, Mr Trump said: "Fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction, otherwise it would have been – as bad as it was – it would have been much worse." Kelley served in logistics readiness at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, and was jailed for one year in 2012 on two counts alleging assault on his wife Danielle Shields and their child. In 2014, he was kicked out of the military. Old school friends described Kelley, who lived in nearby New Braunfels, Texas, as a "creep" who made no secret of his anti-religious views. Local TV images as police look at the alleged gunman's car Nina Rose Nava, who went to school with Kelley, said: "He was always talking about how people who believe in God were stupid and trying to preach his atheism.' On Kelley's Facebook page, he appeared to have a fascination with guns. He had recently shared a photo of an AR-15 style gun with the caption: 'She's a bad b----" Kelley's mother-in-law, Michelle Shields, is understood to be a parishioner at the First Baptist Church and was friends on social media with First Baptist Pastor Frank Pomeroy and his wife. The shooting comes just over a month after a gunman opened fire on an outdoor music festival on the Las Vegas Strip from the 32nd floor of a hotel-casino, killing 58 people and wounding more than 500. |

New York Mayor de Blasio wins re-election in widely expected result Posted: 08 Nov 2017 12:52 AM PST By Gina Cherelus NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio scored a decisive victory on Tuesday in his bid to secure a second four-year term in charge of the United States' biggest city. With more than 75 percent of the city's voting precincts reporting, de Blasio, 56, had won nearly 65 percent, a margin of 35 percentage points over his Republican opponent, state Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, according to New York City's Board of Elections. The New York Times and other media called the race for de Blasio. |
Trump's China visit: What to expect as Donald visits country for first time as President Posted: 07 Nov 2017 02:35 PM PST When China rolls out the red carpet for Donald Trump, the grandeur of its welcome for the larger-than-life American president will mask a sobering reality. President Xi Jinping, China's most powerful figure in a generation, is elevating his nation as a global power. Trump is unpopular and untrusted, pursued by political scandal and questions over his temperament as commander in chief of the world's most formidable military. |

Giant cruise ships to be diverted away from Venice's historic centre - but there's a catch Posted: 08 Nov 2017 03:20 AM PST After years of see-saw debate between Venetians and the tourism industry, giant cruise ships are to be banned from sailing past St Mark's Square, the Italian government announced. Passenger liners are currently allowed to pass within a few hundred yards of St Mark's Square and Venice's historic centre on their way to the lagoon city's international passenger terminal. Campaigners have long argued that the huge vessels, which carry up to 5,000 passengers and crew, dwarf Venice's cupolas, spires and palaces, while eroding canal banks with the waves they create as they churn down the picturesque Giudecca Canal. Under the new plan, they will be diverted well away from the World Heritage city and will have to dock at a terminal in the industrial port of Marghera on the mainland – a far cry from the romance of St Mark's and the Grand Canal. Passengers will then be ferried to Venice in smaller boats, or in coaches, along the narrow land bridge that connects the city to the mainland. The new navigation route will involve big cruise ships entering the Venetian lagoon from the Adriatic through an inlet far to the south of the one currently used. Graphic: The new routes Smaller cruise vessels – those of 55,000 tonnes or less – will be allowed to continue to use the present route. But there is a catch – the new measures will not come into effect for three or four years. The move was announced by Graziano Delrio, the transport minister, after a meeting of a governmental committee tasked with protecting Venice's delicate cultural heritage. "After years of study, we have found a viable solution for a sustainable route through the lagoon, without penalizing the tourism industry, which is so important for Venice," the minister said. Luigi Brugnaro, the mayor of Venice, hailed the plan as a sensible compromise that would satisfy the cruise ship industry whilst addressing the concerns of locals and preserving the lagoon environment. "We want it to be clear to Unesco (the UN's cultural heritage body) and the whole world that we have a solution," he said. "This takes into account all the jobs created by the cruise industry, which we absolutely couldn't afford to lose, and we can start to work seriously on planning cruises." Gianni Berengo Gardin, an Italian photographer who takes striking black and white images of cruise ships looming over Venice's canals and churches, said he was cautiously optimistic about the plan. "It worries me that it is going to take three or four years, because in that time they may change their minds. "But it at least seems possible that in future we will no longer see huge ships pass along the Giudecca Canal and in front of St Mark's Square," he wrote in a front page opinion piece for La Repubblica newspaper. The debate over the impact of big cruise ships has been going on for years in Venice. Credit: AFP In an informal referendum organised by a campaign group in June, nearly 99 per cent of the 18,000 Venetians who took part voted in favour of banning giant cruise ships from the city's lagoon altogether, saying they disgorge too many tourists and damage the environment. They were asked: "Do you want big cruise ships to stay outside Venice's lagoon and no new shipping channels dug inside the lagoon?" The organisers of the referendum support an alternative plan which would involve the construction of an entirely new cruise ship terminal at one of the three entrances to the lagoon. Called Venice Cruise 2.0, the terminal would consist of a 2,000ft-long pier capable of accommodating four large ships at a time. Passengers would then be transferred to smaller boats which would take them to Venice. |

Venezuela teeters on brink of default Posted: 08 Nov 2017 10:41 AM PST Longstanding fears of a Venezuela debt default crystallized Wednesday, as the political crisis engulfing the sinking OPEC state deepened with a meeting set at the UN Security Council and the EU eyeing an arms embargo. Investors were bracing for what looked to be an inevitable "credit event" that analysts said could arrive within days -- before a "refinancing and restructuring" of the debt called for by President Nicolas Maduro. While the country's isolation means the risk of contagion to international financial markets is limited, a default could trigger a global rush to seize assets owned by the Venezuelan government and its state oil company PDVSA, and plunge the struggling nation into a full-blown humanitarian emergency. |

Zimbabwe's Mugabe widens purge, clearing wife's succession path Posted: 07 Nov 2017 07:17 AM PST By MacDonald Dzirutwe HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's sacking of his deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa was part of a wider purge, state media said on Tuesday, in a clear out analysts say is meant to neutralize any resistance to the political rise of his wife, Grace. Mugabe sacked his long-time ally Mnangagwa on Monday for showing "traits of disloyalty", abruptly removing a favorite to succeed the 93-year-old leader and boosting the likelihood of Grace Mugabe becoming his next deputy and potential successor. State television ZBC said the purge went beyond removing Mnangagwa, 75, as half of the ruling ZANU-PF's national provincial executives separately met and passed resolutions expelling supporters of the former vice president on Monday. |
