President Lenin Moreno confirmed a July 15 report in London's Sunday Times that Ecuador and Britain were in talks to try to end Assange's stay at the embassy where he successfully sought asylum in 2012. Moreno said any eviction of Assange from the embassy had to be carried out correctly and through dialogue, but he displayed no sympathy for Assange's political agenda as a leaker of confidential documents.

| Could a parasite carried by your cat make you more entrepreneurial? Posted: 26 Jul 2018 02:55 AM PDT  Possibly, according to new US research, which found that a parasite carried by our furry friends could make infected humans more entrepreneurial and more likely to pursue business-related activities. Although infected humans often don't show any acute symptoms, growing evidence suggests that T. gondii may influence behavior, with previous research linking it to more impulsive behaviors, an increased risk of car accidents, road rage, mental illness, neuroticism, drug abuse, and even suicide. In addition, when the researchers carried out a survey of 197 adult professionals attending entrepreneurship events, they found that T. gondii-positive individuals were 1.8 times more likely to have started their own business compared with other attendees.

| Pakistan election results: Imran Khan wins but rivals reject the vote Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:42 PM PDT  Imran Khan has been officially crowned winner of Pakistan's general election, as defeated rivals announced protests demanding new elections following allegations of widespread vote rigging. The former cricketer had a commanding lead in the national assembly and had been expected to form a coalition easily over the coming days, although the protests could throw obstacles in his path to power. "We will run a movement for holding of elections again. There will be protests," said Maulana Fazalur Rehman from the All Parties Conference, which included the outgoing ruling party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). Shahbaz Sharif, leader of the PML-N since his brother Nawaz was ousted and jailed, announced his support for the "movement" but said he still needed to consult his party to see if they would boycott taking oaths that would swear them into parliament as well. Khan declared that he had been given a mandate to rule despite the contested results Credit: AAMIR QURESHI/ AFP "I fully agree with it. The worst kind of irregularities have been committed, which are unprecedented," he added. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which has won the third largest number of seats in the vote, was notably absent from the APC. In a later press conference, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said his party also rejected the election results, but vowed it would try to convince the other parties to participate in the parliamentary process. The vote was meant to be a rare democratic transition in the Muslim country, which has been ruled by the powerful army for roughly half its history. Supporters of Pakistan's cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan, and head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice) party, celebrating in Karachi on Thursday after the election Credit: AFP But it was marred by violence and allegations of military interference in the months leading up to the vote, with Khan seen as the beneficiary. The EU Election Observation Mission to Pakistan's chief Michael Gahler told reporters in Islamabad that "a number of violent attacks, targeting political parties, party leaders, candidates and election officials, severely affected the campaign environment". "Many of our interlocutors acknowledged a systematic effort to undermine the former ruling party through cases of corruption, contempt of court and terrorist charges against its leaders and candidates," he continued. The Election Commission (ECP) said Friday that with only a handful of seats left to count, Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will be the biggest party in parliament. But the count indicates PTI will not achieve the 137 seats needed in the National Assembly to form a majority government. Analysts had long predicted that if Khan took power it would have to be via coalition - but the size of his lead still took many by surprise. Analyst Ayesha Siddiqa said observers may have underestimated the depth of feeling among Pakistan's growing middle class. "Remember they grew up on this narrative of a corrupt Pakistan being damaged and needing a new leadership... In all this hue and cry, we didn't notice there is another Pakistan there that wanted this change," she told AFP. Khan campaigned on promises to end widespread graftwhile building an "Islamic welfare state". Now the former World Cup cricket champion will have to partner with independents and smaller parties, a task analysts said should be straightforward. Imran Khan has had to be very flexible indeed on his long climb to power in Pakistan Khan claimed victory in a wide-ranging address to the nation on Thursday. He vowed to tackle corruption and touched on promises to balance relations with the US, while saying he was open to discussions with arch-rival India including over the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir. Khan will face myriad challenges including militant extremism, an economic crisis with speculation that Pakistan will have to seek a bailout from the International Monetary Fund, water shortages, and a booming population, among others. He will also have to contend with the same issue as many of his predecessors: how to maintain a balance of power in civil-military relations. In the West, Khan is typically seen through the prism of his celebrity and high-profile romances, but at home he cuts a more conservative persona as a devout Muslim who believes feminism has degraded motherhood. Known in Pakistan as "Taliban Khan" for his calls to hold talks with insurgents, he increasingly catered to religious hardliners during the campaign, spurring fears his leadership could embolden extremists.

| House Republicans move to impeach deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein Posted: 26 Jul 2018 09:38 AM PDT  A group of Republicans infuriated at the investigation into Russian meddling in the election have launched a bid to impeach Rod Rosenstein, the man overseeing Robert Mueller's work. Mark Meadows, a congressman from North Carolina, said Mr Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, had behaved in a "reprehensible" way. He and his 10 colleagues argue that Mr Rosenstein, who supervises the Mueller inquiry, has kept congress in the dark about the progress of the investigation. Mr Mueller was appointed by Mr Rosenstein in May 2017, after Mr Sessions recused himself. Mr Rosenstein is the only person with constitutional authority to fire Mr Mueller, and must approve matters that fall inside his jurisdiction. Mr Mueller must also follow justice department regulations and consult with Mr Rosenstein about how to handle matters outside his jurisdiction. Mr Rosenstein is charged in five articles of "high crimes and misdemeanors" for failing to produce information to the committees - even though the department has already provided politicians with more than 800,000 documents - and of signing off on what some Republicans say was improper surveillance of Trump adviser Carter Page, with a FISA warrant. That warrant was also signed by a federal judge. Robert Mueller was appointed in May 2017 to lead an investigation into Russian meddling in the November 2016 election Credit: AP The resolution also questions whether the investigation was started on legitimate grounds, and criticises Mr Rosenstein for refusing to produce a memo detailing the scope of Mr Mueller's work. It is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, for politicians to demand documents that are part of an ongoing criminal investigation. And the 11 Republicans' move appeared unlikely to gain much traction. Indeed, Mr Meadows himself chose not to force an immediate vote on the impeachment resolution, even though he could use procedural manoeuvres to do so. That is being seen as a sign that he knows he would not get enough support for the resolution to pass. Republican leaders have not signed on to the effort and are unlikely to back it. Rod Rosenstein, deputy attorney general, with Jeff Sessions, his boss Credit: AP Trey Gowdy, a member of the Tea Party who chairs the House oversight committee, said after meeting with justice department officials earlier this month that he was pleased with the department's efforts. Paul Ryan, the most senior Republican in the House, has also said he is satisfied with progress on the document production. On Thursday he dismissed the moved by the 11 Republicans as unnecessary. He said the department of justice was largely complying with demand for documents surrounding the investigation. "I don't think we should be cavalier with this process or this term," he said of impeachment. "I don't think this rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors." The House leaves on Thursday afternoon for a five-week recess. In a joint statement, the top Democrats on the House judiciary, oversight and government reform and intelligence committees called the move a "panicked and dangerous attempt to undermine an ongoing criminal investigation in an effort to protect President Trump as the walls are closing in around him and his associates." So far, Mr Mueller, the special counsel, has charged 32 people and three companies. That includes four Trump campaign advisers and 12 Russian intelligence officers.

| Israel vows to expand settlements after Israeli father stabbed to death by Palestinian teen Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:06 AM PDT  Israel will build hundreds of new settlement homes in response to the killing of an Israeli father by a Palestinian teenager in the occupied West Bank, Israel's defence minister said. A 17-year-old Palestinian crept into the settlement of Adam on Thursday night and stabbed Yotam Ovadia, 31, to death. He wounded two other Israelis before being shot dead. Mr Ovadia was a father to two young children and was reportedly on his way home to cook a meal for his wife when he was killed. Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's defence minister, said the government would respond by approving 400 new homes in the settlement. "The best answer to terrorism is the expansion of settlements," Mr Lieberman said. Israel's government often responds to attacks against settlements by promising to expand the settlements even further. Britain and most of the international community believes the settlements are illegal. Mr Ovadia's killer was identified in Palestinian media as Mohammed Youssef, from the Palestinian village of Kauber. Relatives and friends gather around the body of Yotam Ovadia during his funeral in Jerusalem Credit: AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner The Israeli military raided the village on Friday morning and questioned several members of Youssef's family. The army will demolish the family's house as part of a widely-criticised Israeli policy of destroying the homes of Palestinian attackers to try to deter future assaults. A crowd of around 150 people resisted the military's incursion into the village with rocks and fire bombs, the military said. The two other Israeli men wounded in the stabbing attack in Adam are expected to survive their injuries. Jason Greenblatt, Donald Trump's peace envoy, denounced the killing as "another barbaric attack" and asked when Palestinian leaders would condemn the stabbing. Yet another barbaric attack tonight. When will President Abbas and Palestinian leaders condemn the violence? Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families tonight.— Jason D. Greenblatt (@jdgreenblatt45) July 26, 2018 Israeli ministers also blamed the Palestinian Authority for the violence, saying it was fueled by the Palestinian policy of making payments to the families of attackers. The Palestinian Authority is yet to condemn the attack. It defends the policy of payments as part of a justified resistance to Israeli occupation. Hamas praised the attack as a "heroic action". The killing of Mr Ovadia and the army raid on Koubar came amid heightened tensions across the Holy Land. Palestinians clashed with Israeli police outside the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on Friday. Video showed young men shooting fireworks towards police while officers responded with stun grenades. Largescale Palestinian protests are also expected at the Gaza border on Friday, after a week of on-off fighting between Israel and Hamas. Six Hamas fighters have been killed since last Friday, while one Israeli soldier was killed and another was wounded.

| Spain's overwhelmed coastguard says it can't cope with migrant influx, as 700 rescued in one morning Posted: 27 Jul 2018 10:12 AM PDT  Spain's coastguard union has warned the service was completely "overwhelmed" by surging numbers of migrant crossings, as more than 600 people were rescued from rafts in the Gibraltar Strait in just one morning. The union for Spain's Maritime Rescue agency issued an urgent call for resources to help it cope with the "massive arrival of immigrants" on the country's shores. Crew reinforcements were desperately needed to guarantee they could continue saving lives, it said in a statement. The "extraordinary upturn" in arrivals had meant "an absolute overflow of work" for maritime rescue centres, many of which already had "insufficient" crew levels, it said. The warning came as the Spanish coastguard pulled 774 people from 52 rafts in the Gibraltar Strait on Friday morning, bringing arrivals to more than 2000 this week alone. A further 125 people were rescued elsewhere in Spain, including the sea of Alborán, Murcia and Majorca. The country is now the largest gateway for migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Europe, with 20,992 people landing on its shores so far this year, according to the International Organisation for Migration. Arrivals to Italy now trail Spain by almost 3000 - a gap that just a week ago was 200. Mediterranean migration On Friday, the government announced an extra 30 million euros for agencies dealing with the migratory challenge. Magdalena Valerio, minister for work, migration and social security, called for help from the European Union and said Madrid was worried by Thursday's events in Ceuta, one of Spain's two outposts in Morocco, where more than 600 migrants forced their way through the border fence. Two Civil Guard unions also called for urgent assistance in the face of what they said were increasingly well planned incursions into the two enclaves, Europe's only land borders with Africa. Thursday's forced entry was said by security forces to be of "unprecedented violence", with the group throwing quicklime, stones and excrement to fend off officers. The Red Cross later said more than 130 people had required medical treatment. Authorities and NGOs in Andalusia have been sounding the alarm over the surge in arrivals, noting that reception centres are saturated and migrants being forced to sleep in converted sports halls, on boats and in one case on a police station patio. Both Spanish authorities and experts have blamed the increase on the crackdown on the central Mediterranean route from Libya to Italy, where the new populist government has barred NGO rescue ships from docking. The decision of Spain's new Socialist prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, to offer safe harbour to the NGO boat the Aquarius and its 630 rescued migrants in June was largely welcomed. But there are growing concerns that the Spanish asylum system, which NGOs describe as "collapsed", is simply unequipped to cope. Migration was a key topic at Thursday's meeting between Mr Sanchez and Emmanuel Macron, the French president, but there was little in the way of concrete proposals. The mayor of Algeciras, the Gibraltar Strait port city, said on Thursday the area was in danger of becoming the "new Lampedusa", referring to the Italian island in the Mediterranean that became a hotspot for migrant landings at the peak of the crisis. José Ignacio Landaluce told El Mundo that European help was desperately needed, adding that arrivals were expected to rise further in August, the peak month for crossings. "It may be our problem initially, but tomorrow, or in a week's time, or a month's, it'll be at the heart of Europe," he said.
