Residents and visitors in Batu city were in for a treat, as chefs of hotels, restaurants and culinary school students created a smorgasbord of food for the Batu Street Food Festival. All food at the festival was offered at highly reasonable prices, within a range of Rp 5,000 (less than 50 US cents) to Rp 20,000.

Batu Street Food Festival was held on Oct. 20 to 21 in the front yard of Among Tani townhall.

"More than 100 types of Indonesian foods were provided by 33 hotels, three restaurants, and three hospitality vocational schools from all over Greater Malang in this festival," said Titik S. Ariyanto, a representative of the Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants Association (PHRI) Batu chapter on Saturday.

Titik went on to say that the annual event held by PHRI Batu, the Indonesian Chef Association (ICA) of Greater Malang and the Batu city tourism office aimed to introduce and promote Indonesian food to the community.

Among the Indonesian foods offered were pecel (vegetable salad with rice and peanut sauce), garang asem(chicken or meat cooked in coconut milk and spices), cotoMakassar (Makassar style aromatic soup), rawon(black nut soup) and fresh juice.

Some chefs and culinary students also showcased their latest creations, such as baguette rendang (baguette filled with meat stewed in coconut milk and spices) and banana blossom hotdog.

Titik said the event, held for the second time, had seen an increase in visitors and earnings.

"This event has drawn around 2000 visitors with a transaction value of Rp 100 million last year, and this year it has surpassed the target of 8,000 visitors with a transaction value of over Rp 300 million," Titik told The Jakarta Post, hoping that the festival could return next year with a more interesting concept.

Eka Febrianti, a Batu resident, said she was happy to attend the event.

"My family and I were able to enjoy food we rarely eat at very good prices," she said.

However, Eka was disappointed that a lot of foods had sold-out ,especially on the first day. She suggests that participating hotels and restaurants better anticipate visitor numbers next time. (mut)

arsenal defeated leicester because ozil. Monday,22 october 2018.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mesut Ozil produced one of the best midfield displays in the Premier League this season as Arsenal beat Leicester to record a 10th successive win in all competitions.

Ozil's first-time finish for the equaliser, the pass that led to the second goal and his two flicks in the build-up to the third were the catalyst for a remarkable performance by the Gunners, who had been overwhelmed by Leicester in the opening 30 minutes.

Relive the action from Emirates Stadium

The Foxes deservedly took the lead in the 31st minute, and might argue they should already have been awarded a penalty when Rob Holding appeared to intentionally handle the ball.

Their goal came from a pacy counter-attack, which resulted in Ben Chilwell's attempt at a low cross being turned in by the boot of Arsenal's Hector Bellerin.

That appeared to jolt the Gunners into action. They levelled just before the break when Ozil sprinted forward and played a one-two with Bellerin before opening up his foot to place the ball in off the far post. It was a stunning finish.

Arsenal, who came into the match having scored 14 of their 19 league goals in the second half, were a different proposition after the break.

Their second goal came after Ozil cut open the defence with a beautifully weighted ball which found Bellerin. The Spaniard then played it square for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who tapped home two minutes after coming on.

The Gabon international's second followed one of the moves of the season. Ozil's audacious flick in midfield set it in motion, before a sand-wedge of an assist by the German gave Aubameyang a simple finish.

Alexandre Lacazette should have added another but his shot, from Ozil's pass, was saved at point-blank range by Kasper Schmeichel.

Ozil's renaissance fires Arsenal

A poor 2017-18 season, a rotten World Cup and a row which resulted in him quitting international football - Ozil's lead-up to this campaign could not have been worse.

But something has suddenly clicked for him. Has new manager Unai Emery had an effect? Is Ozil trying to prove a point to members of German football's hierarchy who openly criticised him?

Accused at times of being lackadaisical in his midfield running, he was anything but for the equaliser when he burst forward before producing a feather-light finish. His 30th league goal meant he became the highest scoring German player in the competition's history.

The confidence grew in the midfielder, and in Arsenal, in the second half. First Ozil's threaded ball resulted in the second before he delved into his box of tricks for the third - a goal reminiscent of those scored under Emery's predecessor.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has a big job on his hands to keep Ozil and his Arsenal side quiet when they visit Selhurst Park next Sunday.

Foxes regret early missed chances

Leicester might be wondering how they failed to earn at least a point after an impressive opening 30-minute spell.

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno was twice tested, blocking Kelechi Iheanacho's effort before he pushed away Harry Maguire's header, which seemed destined for the net.

And when it wasn't the German, it was referee Chris Kavanagh who frustrated the visitors. His decision in the 18th minute not to award a penalty for Holding's handball incensed manager Claude Puel on the touchline.

Their goal, via Bellerin's boot, was just reward but after earlier bad luck, perhaps Puel and his team knew it was not going to be their day.

Man of the match - Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)

'Ozil's commitment is very good' - manager quotes
Arsenal boss Unai Emery:
"It was good in the second half, and we finished well in the first half. We started cold maybe.

"The progression in the 90 minutes was good and we played with good attitude and level in our quality. The victory is a big one and we deserved it.

"Each match and training Ozil's commitment is very good. The players are working and helping each other. The performance of the team and also with Mesut was very good.

"A good result and good goals - the team was only missing the first 30 minutes."

Leicester boss Claude Puel on the decision not to award a penalty to his side:
"I am angry about it because of all the good work by my players. I thought it was a penalty, we saw this from the bench. All the people in the stadium saw this was a penalty - it was handball.

"It is not possible to have another decision other than a penalty, and also it was another yellow card and sending off.

"I didn't speak to the referee afterwards because it is finished and we can't come back with another decision. But I regret this decision because all the people in the stadium saw this decision was wrong.

"The penalty is an important thing, but also afterwards we needed to score more and be more clinical."

Aubameyang's heavy influence - the stats

Arsenal have won 10 consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time since October 2007 (a run of 12).

In all competitions, Leicester are winless in their last 26 visits to Arsenal (P26 W0 D6 L20) since winning 2-0 in the top flight in September 1973.

Leicester are winless in their last eight Premier League away games in London (D3 L5), losing the last three in a row.

Aubameyang has been directly involved in 21 goals in his 22 Premier League games for Arsenal (16 goals, five assists).

Arsenal have scored more Premier League goals via substitutes this season than any other team (six).

Ozil became the highest scoring German player in Premier League history (30 goals) ahead of Jurgen Klinsmann and Uwe Rosler (both 29).

Ozil has scored three goals in his last four Premier League appearances, as many as he bagged in his previous 22 in the competition.

Bellerin scored his first own goal in the Premier League in what was his 133rd appearance in the competition. The Spanish defender also provided two assists in a Premier League game for the fourth time in his career.

What's next?

After hosting Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League on Thursday (17:55 BST) they travel to Palace on Sunday (13:30 GMT). The Foxes host West Ham next Saturday (17:30 BST).

chielini did not celebrate his team's goal because of respect for the team he had defended before in the Juventus vs AC Milan match at the San Siro stadium on Sunday, 21 October 2018

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(CNN) - While strikers celebrate scoring goals, nobody celebrates a defensive challenge or block quite like Giorgio Chiellini.

That devotion to the art of defending has proved key to Italian club Juventus winning seven successive Serie A titles between 2012 and 2018.

But he's not only a student of defensive disciplines -- the 34-year-old recently graduated from the University of Turin with a Master's Degree in Business Administration.

"We have to encourage more football players to study and increase the number with university degrees. Because life is long," Chiellini told world players' union FIFPro, to help promote their "Mind the Gap" campaign.

"Life will be beautiful after the end of a player's career. But you have to prepare first or there is a risk you will get to 35-years-old and not know what to do with your life. Only a few players manage to find a job in football."

Lewis Hamilton will start the US Grand Prix on pole position as he seeks to wrap up a fifth world title.

Lewis Hamilton will start the US Grand Prix on pole position as he seeks to wrap up a fifth world title.

The Mercedes driver beat title rival Sebastian Vettel by 0.061 seconds but the German will be demoted to fifth on the grid because of a penalty.

Hamilton will clinch the title on Sunday if he wins the race and Vettel finishes lower than second.

Potentially crucially for Vettel, his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen starts second, ahead of the second Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas.

Vettel will also be behind the Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo, who qualified fifth but will be promoted to fourth by the German's penalty, which was given for failing to slow down sufficiently under red flags during practice.

Ferrari back on form a little too late

Hamilton had to pull out all the stops to seal pole on a track where he has won five of the six races held after Raikkonen beat the time the Briton set on his first lap.

It was an unexpected return to form from Ferrari, who had been closely matched with Mercedes for most of the season but had dramatically fallen away in the last three races.

Hamilton said: "That was very important. That was close. I didn't know how close it was going to be but by the last run I knew it was quite edgy.

"I knew I had to do solid laps. The first lap was decent but not good enough and the second one was just that bit better. The Ferraris were really quick."

The top three were all covered by less than 0.1secs.

Vettel surprised by Ferrari speed

Vettel said: "It was pretty close. Always a bit of a shame when you miss out on just that little time - 0.06secs you can always say you had them in there somewhere but I was happy with the laps I had.

"Today has been surprisingly close. I don't think we expected to be that close."

Vettel, who has had to fight back through the field a number of times this year after various incidents, employed some black humour when asked about his grid penalty and the need to make up ground if he wanted to keep the title alive beyond this weekend.

"I am used to it," he said. "I know how to do it now."

Only two weeks ago in Japan, he started eighth after errors by team and driver in qualifying, but crashed with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen as he attempted to fight up through the field, eventually finishing sixth.

This time, Vettel will not have to worry about Verstappen. The Dutchman qualified 15th because his car suffered a loss of drive at the end of the first qualifying session.

He will likely start 13th because of grid penalties for both Toro Rosso drivers, who qualified ahead of him.

Hamilton in all-time top five - Alonso

Predict who will be top of the podium in the United States Grand Prix

Looking at the race

In theory, Hamilton should be able to control the race from the front, but there will be a concern at Mercedes about Raikkonen.

The Finn will start the race on the gripper ultra-soft tyres, while Hamilton, Bottas, Ricciardo and Vettel will be on the super-softs. It remains to be seen whether that gives the Finn a strategic advantage.

However, Raikkonen has not made up a place on the first lap of a race since the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Mercedes will be trying to orchestrate the race so that Bottas stays ahead of Vettel, who needs to ensure Hamilton does not score eight more points than him to keep the title alive to the race in Mexico next weekend.

And the rest

Behind the big three teams, Esteban Ocon qualified his Force India best of the rest, on a weekend when it emerged the Frenchman is in the frame for a seat at Williams next year after it had looked as if he might end up sitting out 2019.

Ocon beat Renault's Nico Hulkenberg, Romain Grosjean's Haas and Sauber's Charles Leclerc.

McLaren's negative spiral continued as Fernando Alonso was knocked out in the first session and qualified 16th. His team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne, who has been dropped for 2019 and will race in the all-electric Formula E series, was slowest of all.

Help Save The ENDANGERED

From EXTINCTION!

The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus

Rare photo of the elusive tree octopus
(Enhanced from cropped telephoto)

The Pacific Northwest tree octopus ( Octopus paxarbolis) can be found in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Their habitat lies on the Eastern side of the Olympic mountain range, adjacent to Hood Canal. These solitary cephalopods reach an average size (measured from arm-tip to mantle-tip,) of 30-33 cm. Unlike most other cephalopods, tree octopuses are amphibious, spending only their early life and the period of their mating season in their ancestral aquatic environment. Because of the moistness of the rainforests and specialized skin adaptations, they are able to keep from becoming desiccated for prolonged periods of time, but given the chance they would prefer resting in pooled water.

An intelligent and inquisitive being (it has the largest brain-to-body ratio for any mollusk), the tree octopus explores its arboreal world by both touch and sight. Adaptations its ancestors originally evolved in the three dimensional environment of the sea have been put to good use in the spatially complex maze of the coniferous Olympic rainforests. The challenges and richness of this environment (and the intimate way in which it interacts with it,) may account for the tree octopus's advanced behavioral development. (Some evolutionary theorists suppose that "arboreal adaptation" is what laid the groundwork in primates for the evolution of the human mind.)

Reaching out with one of her eight arms, each covered in sensitive suckers, a tree octopus might grab a branch to pull herself along in a form of locomotion called tentaculation; or she might be preparing to strike at an insect or small vertebrate, such as a frog or rodent, or steal an egg from a bird's nest; or she might even be examining some object that caught her fancy, instinctively desiring to manipulate it with her dexterous limbs (really deserving the title "sensory organs" more than mere "limbs",) in order to better know it.

Map of estimated tree octopus maximum range, including spawning waters

Tree octopuses have eyesight comparable to humans. Besides allowing them to see their prey and environment, it helps them in inter-octopus relations. Although they are not social animals like us, they display to one-another their emotions through their ability to change the color of their skin: red indicates anger, white fear, while they normally maintain a mottled brown tone to blend in with the background.

The reproductive cycle of the tree octopus is still linked to its roots in the waters of the Puget Sound from where it is thought to have originated. Every year, in Spring, tree octopuses leave their homes in the Olympic National Forest and migrate towards the shore and, eventually, their spawning grounds in Hood Canal. There, they congregate (the only real social time in their lives,) and find mates. After the male has deposited his sperm, he returns to the forests, leaving the female to find an aquatic lair in which to attach her strands of egg-clusters. The female will guard and care for her eggs until they hatch, refusing even to eat, and usually dying from her selflessness. The young will spend the first month or so floating through Hood Canal, Admiralty Inlet, and as far as North Puget Sound before eventually moving out of the water and beginning their adult lives.

Why It's Endangered

Route 101, separating the rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula from Hood Canal

Although the tree octopus is not officially listed on the Endangered Species List, we feel that it should be added since its numbers are at a critically low level for its breeding needs. The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch. What few that make it to the Canal are further hampered in their reproduction by the growing problem of pollution from farming and residential run-off. Unless immediate action is taken to protect this species and its habitat, the Pacific Northwest tree octopus will be but a memory.

The possibility of Pacific Northwest tree octopus extinction is not an unwarranted fear. Other tree octopus species-including the Douglas octopus and the red-ringed madrona sucker-were once abundant throughout the Cascadia region, but have since gone extinct because of threats similar to those faced by paxarbolis, as well as overharvesting by the now-illegal tree octopus trade.

Tree Octopus hat from 1923

The history of the tree octopus trade is a sad one. Their voracious appetite for bird plumes having exhausted all the worthy species of that family, the fashionistas moved on to cephalopodic accoutrements during the early 20th Century. Tree octopuses became prized by the fashion industry as ornamental decorations for hats, leading greedy trappers to wipe out whole populations to feed the vanity of the fashionable rich. While fortunately this practice has been outlawed, its effects still reverberate today as these millinery deprivations brought tree octopus numbers below the critical point where even minor environmental change could cause disaster.

While efforts were made in the past to preserve remaining tree octopus habitat, these were met with resistance by the timber industry, which has traditionally viewed the tree octopus as a nuisance, both because the octopuses favor the valuable, moss-shrouded trees of old growth forests-pitting conservation needs against lucrative sources of lumber-and because octopuses hiding among felled trees often gummed up sawmills and stained pulp vats with their ink.

Traveling sideshow exhibits, such as this one by Glen "Bones" Hartzell from 1942, demonized tree octopuses to the ignorant masses
(Click to enlarge)

These nuisances led many loggers to regard tree octopuses as bad luck, resulting in the pointless killing of octopuses on sight at logging camps in a misguided attempt at eradicating the troublesome species. Anti-octopus sentiment was so strong among loggers that some even began to fear that the octopuses were prone to attacking humans.

These fears were fueled in no small part by gratuitous stories involving tree octopuses harassing lumberjacks and distressing damsels in Northwestern-themed pulp magazines of the 1930-40s and variously "nipping", "entangling", or "suckering the flesh" of the heroes of men's action magazines of the 1950-60s. (The magazine publishers depended on cheap paper made from wood pulp and were glad to contribute to the anti-octopus propaganda campaign of the timber industry.)

To this day, misunderstanding and fear of these gentle creatures can still be found among many old timers, although education campaigns-and special octopus-separators installed at sawmills-have largely halted the practice of tree octopus eradication.

Mixing it up Puppet theater artists Tom Lee and Lisa Gonzales present a mixture of objects, live film, projection, puppetry and dance at the 2018 edition of Pesta Boneka (Puppet Party).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A bamboo installation resembling a gate stood in Kepek village in Yogyakarta, making the vicinity look merrier than usual.

From the installation were hanging various small puppets of different characters. On the sides, bigger puppets were also displayed and most visitors seemed keen on taking pictures of themselves standing next to the installation.

In another corner, a lot of people waited in line in front of a black tent in the yard of a house. They were waiting for their turn to enjoy Cosmic Pollutant, a 10-minute show by Yogyakarta's Sakatoya community presented as part of the biennial puppet festival, Pesta Boneka (Puppet Party).

Cosmic Pollutant tells the story of the sun failing to illuminate the earth because of pollutants. Presented inside a black tent measuring some 3 by 4 meters, for just six spectators per show, the play uses fake cinematic special effects inspired by Japanese TV show Masquerade.

"Through the play we want to remind people about the importance of preserving nature by doing small things such as not littering, no matter how small the amount of garbage," the show's art director, BM Anggana, said.

In other corners, different groups of children and adults gathered in open spaces under the trees or on terraces.

"They are taking part in workshops," Amelberga, the festival media relation officer, told The Jakarta Post on the sidelines of the festival on Sunday.

Pesta Boneka was first organized by Yogyakarta-based Papermoon Puppet Theatre. In 2010, Papermoon started inviting other groups and artists. Until 2016, normally only about 12 groups or individuals participated.

"This time we have an open application for the selection of festival participants," Papermoon's co-founder and artistic director Maria "Ria" Tri Sulistyani said in a gathering held prior to the festival.

Ria said that after assessing the artists' profiles, works of art and, most of all, their willingness to share, a total of 29 groups or individuals with multidisciplinary backgrounds from 17 countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Poland and the United States, had been selected to present their creative processes and artworks through 31 performance sessions.

Apart from the performances, the festival also featured 17 workshop sessions from September to Oct. 14, along with discussion forums, artist talks and movie screenings as supporting programs.

The Yogyakarta-branch of French cultural center Institut Français Indonesia (IFI) and the Java Poetry Resto located in Sagan, Yogyakarta, hosted the performances on the first two days of the festival from Oct. 12 to 13, while Kepek village, where Pesta Boneka had been partly held since 2014, was the host for the final day on Oct. 14.

"The village was chosen to offer challenges to the puppet artists to interact with each other, to explore widely and to create new works," Ria said.

"The Journey" was the theme for this year's puppet festival, and everyone was asked to celebrate the meaning of a journey, experience and appreciation of the diversity in cultures.

Ta Babymime from Thailand responded to the theme by presenting The Stupid Solo Show to tell stories taken from the journey of his own life, in which he experienced divorce twice.

"I use the performance to tell the story of my own life to my son," Ta said.

Ana Arensburg and Rodrigo Alves Rolo of Argentina's Palin Dromos Company responded to the theme by presenting Time after Time on Lambe Lambe Box, a mini theater performance enjoyed by peeping into a small box through a hole.

The 3-minute performance is designed for only two spectators per show. It was performed for two consecutive hours during the first two days of the festival on Friday and Saturday.

The story is about two characters from different times. They meet in one moment and continue being together until another moment. It is basically a story of humanity, saying that anything can happen at any time to anyone.

"It's really amazing how people are responding to the show, their curiosity about what happens in the box, and what they say about it at the end of the show," Arensburg said.

To add more excitement and engagement, the festival organizer also put on a program inviting the artists to participate in an activity that did not involve puppet theater performances.

On the last day, which fell on Sunday, participating performers were also invited to take part in "When Puppeteers Cook", a cooking session specially designed for them, which also included a shopping experience at a local traditional market.

"All participants are required to cook their respective favorite foods to be enjoyed together with local people and visitors," Ria said.

She added that Pesta Boneka was created as an opportunity for puppeteers from all over the world to meet and to interact not only with one another but also with the public.

Through the festival, she said, the public was expected to be able to see how puppet theater can convey messages and play a role in society and how everyone can become a part of the process.

Ria said the idea to establish Pesta Boneka emerged as a result of Papermoon's frequent performances abroad, which so many people enjoyed. They also frequently received questions about Papermoon's place of origin.

"So we thought it would be a good idea to have a puppet festival here, in Yogyakarta, the birthplace of Papermoon, the place where we create works of art," Ria said.

A motorcyclist who trespassed into a Transjakarta bus lane died in an accident on Monday night in the Harmoni intersection, Central Jakarta.

According to the Jakarta Police's traffic management center Twitter account, @TMCPoldaMetro, the accident occurred at 6:39 p.m.

Transjakarta spokesman Wibowo said that the bus, PPD 258, had just allowed passengers to board at Harmoni central bus shelter and was heading to Grogol shelter in West Jakarta as its final destination.

As the bus was heading to Pecenongan shelter, a motorcycle entered the busway from the bus' left side.

The motorcyclist hit the bus' rear tire, which then caused him to fall and crash into the busway's concrete barrier.

Two US warship sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Monday 22nd October 2018

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two US warships sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Monday, a military spokesman said, in a move bound to aggravate China amid heightened tensions with Beijing.

The USS Curtis Wilbur and USS Antietam conducted a routine transit to demonstrate US commitment "to a free and open Indo-Pacific," Colonel Rob Manning told reporters at a press briefing.

It was the second time in the space of three months that American warships have conducted so-called "freedom of navigation" exercises in the 180 kilometer wide stretch of water.

Multiple Chinese warships shadowed the two US vessels during the transit, following at a safe distance, defense officials told CNN.

China still sees Taiwan as part of its territory to be reunified, despite the two sides being ruled separately since the end of a civil war on the mainland in 1949.

Beijing recently conducted a series of military maneuvers, including a live fire exercise in the Taiwan Strait in April, declaring its willingness to confront Taiwan's "independence forces."

Washington remains Taipei's most powerful unofficial ally and its main arms supplier despite switching diplomatic recognition to Beijing in 1979.

The Trump administration has sought closer ties to the island, announcing plans last month to sell the island $330 million spare parts for several aircraft including the F-16 fighter and the C-130 cargo plane

Denmark's capital has topped Lonely Planet's top 10 cities to visit in 2019 list.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Copengagen's street food scene is booming on Refshaleøen, a former industrial area with a food and craft market, Reffen. Tivoli Gardens theme park (one of the world's oldest) is offering a February winter season, says Tom Hall, Lonely Planet's editorial director.

There's a new artificial ski slope and hiking area on top of a waste management center, and the Danish Architectural Centre has moved into BLOX, Rem Koolhaas' cultural center.

Noma, the restaurant that officially put New Nordic cuisine on the worldwide stage, triumphantly returned home to Copenhagen in 2018.

But beyond the new and the bold, Copenhagen is one of those cities where you can never run out of things to do.

Our advice? Use the Danish capital as your home base for day trips to Roskilde -- home to UNESCO-listed Roskilde Cathedral, where Denmark's queens and kings are buried -- Malmo, Sweden; and the breathtaking Louisiana Museum.

The top 10 list offers a mix of well-known and lesser-known locations: popular cities already getting attention for their attractions and events; towns off the beaten path that are worth a second look; and cities that are have suffered from natural disasters and deserve our focused attention.

For the 14th year, Lonely Planet editors asked for nominations from its staffers and hundreds of contributors from around the world and picked 10 cities, regions, countries and value destinations to recommend for its 2019 Best in Travel picks.

" Best in Travel is the Lonely Planet's annual advice on where to travel to, each year," says Hall. "We're keen on places offering great value, and above all else want to give the best guidance on why now is a great time to go to a particular place."

Those places include second place Shēnzhèn, China; Novi Sad, Serbia in third place; Miami, Florida in fourth place; and Kathmandu, Nepal rounding out the top five.

While most visitors to China want to explore the capital Beijing, Shanghai or Hong Kong, Shēnzhèn is making its mark as a city of the future featuring "hypermodern architecture, innovative environmental practices and a slew of new design openings, all connected to neighbor Hong Kong by high-speed rail," says Hall.

There's also a booming art and design scene, excellent food choices, a fun club and music scene and quirky theme parks.

"it's the place to get a taste of modern China, close enough to easily combine with Hong Kong, and a place that while most people would not have considered visiting in the past is a destination for the future," he says.

It'll be an even easier weekend trip from Hong Kong when the new bullet train opens at the end of 2018, reducing travel time between Hong Kong and Shēnzhèn to about 20 minutes.

While Novi Sad isn't nearly as well known as the capital of Belgrade, it's much more hip. Nicknamed the "Athens of Serbia," it's home to the country's annual EXIT Festival, which is held each July at the 18th century-era Petrovaradin Fortress (which is worth a visit anyway).

The festival contributes to a vibrant music and arts scene and a youth-oriented vibe. Next year, Novi Sad will be 2019's European Youth Capital. It may be a practice run for 2021, when the city will celebrate the prestigious title of European Capital of Culture.

With its stunning beaches, South Beach scene and art scene mixed with Cuban and other Caribbean and Latin American cultures, Miami is hopping with something for everyone.

Three years after it was hit by a devastating earthquake, Kathmandu is welcoming visitors to a city that is much quieter, by design.

"It remains the doorstep to the Himalayas, with medieval architecture, great food and nightlife and increasing wellness offerings," says Hall.

"It's also much quieter than it has been in the past with cars banned from the historic center and motor horns banned across the Kathmandu Valley," Hall points out.

It's also hosting the South Asian Games in 2019.

"Lonely Planet has a warm historic attachment to Kathmandu, and Nepal, so I was really pleased to see us be able to talk about the city's continued recovery from the 2015 earthquake," Hall says.

Mexico releases information for parts of the Pacific coast because of preparations for "Willa Storm" which can be inserted into the soul.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mexico has issued an alert for parts of its Pacific seaboard as it prepares for the "life-threatening" Hurricane Willa, now at the highest Category Five.

Willa is expected to make landfall on Mexico's south-western coast on Tuesday and is "potentially catastrophic", the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned.

It threatens to bring torrential rains and major flooding, the NHC added.

Earlier this month areas of the US were devastated by Hurricane Michael, which left at least 27 people dead.

Willa is expected to deliver rainfall of up to 46cm (18in) along parts of south-west Mexico, the NHC said on Monday, as it reported that the storm was carrying winds of 256km/h (160mph).

"This rainfall will cause life-threatening flash flooding and landslides," it added.

Here's how to survive a monster storm

The NHC said "a dangerous storm surge" was also likely to affect coastal areas by Tuesday evening, adding that rain and strong winds would be accompanied by "large destructive waves".

A hurricane warning is in effect for areas including San Blas, on the Pacific coast, and the beach resort of Mazatlan.

The warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within the next 36 hours.

Reality Check: Are hurricanes getting worse?

Hurricane Michael, which made landfall on 10 October, was the most powerful ever to hit north-west Florida, also bringing winds of 250km/h.

Residents of Mexico Beach, one of the worst areas affected, described the aftermath as a "war zone".

The Turkish president vowed to reveal the killing of Saudi Jamal journalists in Istanbul on 2 October 2018

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Turkish president has vowed to reveal the "naked truth" about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has stopped short of blaming the Saudis, is due to address members of his ruling AK party.

Turkish officials say they have evidence to show Khashoggi was murdered in the consulate on 2 October.

After weeks of conflicting accounts, the Saudis now say he was killed in a rogue operation.

Tuesday's address by President Erdogan coincides with the start of an investment conference in Saudi Arabia that has been overshadowed by the Khashoggi case, with dozens of government and business leaders pulling out.

Saudi summit begins despite calls for a boycott

How Saudis changed story on Khashoggi

Many world leaders have condemned the murder of the Washington Post contributor and demanded a full investigation.

In his latest comments on the case, US President Donald Trump appeared to support Saudi Arabia's version of events, telling USA Today he still believed the killing was "a plot gone awry".

Despite the growing concern, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin held talks with Saudi Arabia's crown prince in Riyadh on Monday.

What has Turkey already said about the killing?

Turkish officials believe Khashoggi, a prominent critic of the Saudi government, was murdered by a team of Saudi agents soon after he arrived at the consulate to obtain divorce papers nearly three weeks ago.

Investigators say they have audio and video evidence to back up this claim, and some of the lurid details have been leaked to Turkish media close to the government. However, this has yet to be made public.

All you need to know about Khashoggi's death

Who's who in the 'hit squad'?

Who was the victim?

These include reports that 15 suspects arrived in Turkey from Saudi Arabia hours before Khashoggi's disappearance and dismembered the body with a bone saw.

Turkish police have so far searched the premises and grounds of the consulate, and the residence of the Saudi consul, as well as a nearby forest where they believe the body may have been taken.

On Monday Turkish police found a car belonging to the Saudi consulate left in a car park in Istanbul. Turkish media also posted footage apparently showing Saudi consular staff in Istanbul burning documents a day after Khashoggi's disappearance.

Separately, CNN broadcast images appearing to show a Saudi operative leaving the consulate in Khashoggi's clothes, wearing a fake beard and glasses on the same day he was killed.

Turkey's 'full account' vow
Analysis by BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner
After weeks of calculated and often lurid leaks to the Turkish media, Tuesday morning's statement by President Erdogan is eagerly awaited.

Turkey has promised "a full account" of what happened to Mr Khashoggi, with nothing held back.

So that would include the widely reported audio tape from inside the Saudi consulate then? And evidence of the "bone saw" allegedly brought in by the hit team that killed him?

Because both of these elements are crucial in establishing the facts about what happened and the motives of his murderers. If evidence of the bone saw can be produced then it would certainly imply murderous intent by the hit team from Riyadh.

The audio tape of his murder - if it does exist - could be excruciating to listen to - but is an essential part of the puzzle of how Mr Khashoggi died. But Turkey, a country that has itself jailed more journalists than any other nation on Earth, may have its own reasons for holding back on what it has.

For the full story, we may have to wait a little longer yet.

How has the Saudi account changed?

The Saudis have given conflicting accounts over what happened:

They first said Khashoggi had left the consulate on the same day he visited it and was last seen leaving alive

On 19 October, they admitted for the first time he was dead but said he had been killed in a "fist fight"

On 22 October, they acknowledged Mr Khashoggi had been murdered, but said the Saudi leadership had not been aware of the "rogue operation"

"The individuals who did this did this outside the scope of their authority," Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told Fox News. "There obviously was a tremendous mistake made, and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up."

Is this the end of Saudi prince's honeymoon?

Why Saudi Arabia matters to the West

He said that Saudi Arabia did not know where the body was.

An unnamed Saudi official told Reuters on Sunday that Khashoggi had died in a chokehold after resisting resisting attempts to return him to Saudi Arabia. His body was then rolled in a rug and given to a local "co-operator" to dispose of.

The Saudis say they have arrested 18 people, sacked two aides of Mohammed bin Salman and set up a body, under his leadership, to reform the intelligence agency over the killing.

What does the US say?

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin's meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - widely seen as the kingdom's most powerful figure - was held behind closed doors, but a spokesman for the department said Khashoggi's death was among the issues discussed.

President Trump has himself given conflicting comments about the killing, suggesting the US is yet to decide on its response. On Monday he questioned the account that surgical equipment had been taken to the consulate, asking reporters: "Do you know there was a bone saw?"

US media reports say CIA chief Gina Haspel is on her way to Turkey to help with the investigation.

Is anyone attending the investment conference?

At least 40 attendees have withdrawn from the Future Investment Initiative, a conference dubbed "Davos in the Desert", that begins in Riyadh on Tuesday.

The big names may have pulled out, but hundreds are still attending - in some cases representing the very companies whose bosses decided it was no longer expedient for them to attend, the BBC's Arab Affairs editor Sebastian Usher reports from Riyadh.

The talk among delegates is of pragmatism, that there is a big future at stake in Saudi Arabia and this obstacle - however shocking and overwhelming - will eventually be overcome, he adds.

Saudi summit website attacked by hackers

What business does the UK do with Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia has come under increased pressure from its western allies over the killing, with Germany halting arms exports and Canada threatening to cancel a multi-billion-dollar defence contract.

The kingdom still has the support of some of its regional allies, including Kuwait and Egypt.

Singer Taeyeon, a member of the K-pop women's group Girls' Generation, came to her own Sunday when thousands of fans cheered during her solo concert in Seoul, Sunday, 21 October 2018.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Singer Taeyeon, a member of the K-pop powerhouse Girls' Generation, came into her own Sunday as thousands of fans cheered on during her solo concert in Seoul.

Taeyeon's third solo concert was not only a commercial success, drawing nearly 10,000 people in two days, but also a celebration of her artistic identity as she powered through 24 songs in 2 1/2 hours, showcasing her versatility as an artist.

Taeyeon kicked off the last day of her two-day Seoul concert with a new song, "Here I Am", appearing on stage in a wedding gown and a headpiece to a cheering crowd.

She then smoothly transitioned to "I Got Love", as the venue turned blue with the glow from the wireless-controlled glow sticks the audience held.

"Fire" brought a sudden change of mood as Taeyeon belted out the song powerfully from an elevated platform and red laser beams filled the venue.

Appearing energized, she continued her fast-paced set list with "Love You like Crazy", which she performed for the first time.

Fans went wild as Taeyeon delivered an impressive wire performance, swinging to and fro on stage, the frills on her red outfit adding drama. Throughout the song, Taeyeon achieved the perfect balance between a carefully choreographed dance and a free-spirited performance dominated by her artistic instincts.

During a break, Taeyeon told the audience that she had sprayed fragrance around the venue so that fans could remember the concert longer.

The singer also promised to take care of her vocal cords and remain a singer for the rest of her life, a comment that sent fans into a frenzy.

As Sunday was her mother's birthday, the singer gave a special shout-out to her family as well as some of her colleagues who were there to show support, including fellow Girls' Generation bandmates Seohyun and Hyoyeon.

After more than two hours of powerful singing and dancing, the concert came to a climax with "I", the song that had launched her solo career, as an emotionally moved Taeyeon stood under a shower of confetti that rained down on the audience too.

For more than a decade, Tokyo Fashion Week has struggled to cement the city as the capital of Asian fashion. Tokyo Japan, 23 October 2018

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Written by Dan Bailey, CNN Tokyo, Japan

For more than a decade, Tokyo Fashion Week has fought to cement the city as Asia's fashion capital. But while there's certainly stiff competition from Seoul and Shanghai, Tokyo designers' biggest challenge seems to be overcoming the city's own reputation.

When visiting the city, fashion insiders come with expectations that range from the avant-garde (thanks, Comme des Garçons) to the outlandish "kawaii" fashions popularized on the streets. Here's how designers defied convention for the Spring-Summer 2019.

Unlikely collaborations

This season saw several exciting synergies. Masanori Morikawa, head of unisex brand Christian Dada, and menswear minimalist Shinpei Yamagishi of Bed J.W. Ford presented a luxurious joint show; N.Hoolywood designer Daisuke Obana teamed up with both Umbro and Converse; and Jenny Fax presented her first collaboration with stylist Lotta Volkova (of Vetements and Balenciaga fame), a vision of femininity through the lens of Asian pop culture.

Perhaps the most unexpected partnership was between self-described "unisex mode street brand" Acuod by Chanu, and Lego, which resulted in striking multicolored face masks and decorative headpieces.

The art of performance

Anyone can play a track to accompany their show. But in Tokyo, live performances dominated.

Guests at Shohei, by fashion week first-timer Lisa Pek, were serenaded by singer-songwriter Julia Shortreed, while models walked in time with a live percussionist at Akari Miyazu.

Elsewhere, Ohal Ando's brand Middla presented its collection to a soundtrack by Tokyo's Rev Saxophone Quartet, and Anrealage's 15th anniversary show was scored by musician Ichiro Yamaguchi and DJ Shotaro Aoyama.

But not all the performances were musical. Model Emi Suzuki enlisted multimedia artist Yoichi Ochiai and producer Kaito Sakuma a.k.a BATIC to direct lighting and sound for her new label, Lautashi, elevating the presentation from simple showcase to an immersive audio-visual experience.

And, in keeping with the spirit of collaboration, streetwear brand Paradox Tokyo joined forces with Muze for a show that opened with a traditional cheering "essa" performance by athletes from Nippon Sport Science University.

The show's diverse cast included Paralympic ice hockey player Wataru Horie, kickboxer Takeru Segawa, and director and producer Terry Ito.

A big-name backer

Japanese brands have long struggled to find greater relevance and visibility outside of fashion week. Even during the show seasons, young designers' can find it hard to attract influential editors and industry figures to fill their front rows.

So, it's surprise that, for all the independent collaborations, the brands that made the biggest splash were those who were supported by the At Tokyo program funded by Amazon, Tokyo Fashion Week's official sponsor.

Partnerships like this offer smaller, as well as newer brands such as Lautashi, financial backing to present their collections. There is also publicity support and opportunities for collaborative merchandise.

Their prominence at Tokyo Fashion Week is a reminder that perhaps graduating from a top fashion school isn't enough, and that young designers -- for better or worse -- need commercial connections, not just creativity, to drive their brands forward.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(CNN) - Real Madrid has written to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to register the club's opposition to La Liga's plan to stage a league match between Barcelona and Girona this season in the US.

A statement from Director General Jose Angel Sanchez Perianez said the move affects the "integrity" of the Spanish league.

"Real Madrid CF expresses its opposition to the request from La Liga to authorize a match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami (United States), January 26th 2019, between Girona Football Club SAD and FC Barcelona, as it affects the integrity and equality/fairness of the competition," he said.

La Liga hopes of staging the Miami match has been met by strong opposition, notably from the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE).

Despite this, La Liga president Javier Tebas recently told CNN Sport: "I would bet $10,000 that the game will take place."

Lampard has worked mainly in the media since retiring from play in May 2017 after a brilliant career that included three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League at Chelsea.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Frank Lampard says he swapped the relative comfort of the pundit's chair for the fraught job of manager because he missed the "bug" as he prepares for his first competitive game at the helm of Derby County.

Lampard has worked primarily in the media since retiring from playing in 2017 following a glittering career that included three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League at Chelsea.

His first competitive game in charge sees the Rams kick off the new Championship season against Reading at the Madejski Stadium on Friday.

Asked why he is back in football in a hands-on role, Lampard, 40, said: "Because you miss the bug.

"It (television work) is comfortable, but there is pressure there because you want to do the job as best as you can. But when you've been competitive for a long time as a player, you miss it.

"Myself and Steven (Gerrard) were talking about that openly last year when we were working on BT Sport. Football draws you back in and for all the 24-hours-a-day talk and lack-of-sleep talk you can't help but love it.

"This was something that I couldn't not do and I couldn't settle for that easy life when there was an opportunity to come and do this."

Gerrard is another former England international midfielder set to take charge of his first league game this weekend, at Scottish giants Rangers.

The ex-Liverpool captain has already overseen three Europa League games and remains unbeaten as a manager, winning twice.

Lampard added: "We were texting back and forth (on Tuesday), actually discussing the mad life of management and how we both see it.

"We are both the same, we are enjoying every minute of it. It's strange and you can't switch off because you want to do so well, that's certainly how I feel.

"Some days you can't switch off, which means giving it every moment of the day. I'm sure Steven will be the same because I know how competitive he is and I'm guessing if you ask him then he will give you some similar answers."

The flight is scheduled to start at 7 a.m., however Yasir could not guarantee it would be on time. "It depends on the conditions at Mutiara Sis Al-Jufrie Airport," Yasir said.

The commercial route was initially planned to be opened on Monday, but it was rescheduled as the airport's runway was crowded with evacuees, leaving no space for aircraft to take off and land.

The 🤬 allegation against Ronaldo , this lawsuit was reported two weeks ago

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Manchester, England (CNN) - Cristiano Ronaldo said he was a "happy man" and that the truth will come out about the rape allegation against him, while answering questions Monday at a news conference in Manchester, England.

Speaking for the first time since Kathryn Mayorga went public with her accusations, Ronaldo said: "I know I am an example. I know, 100%. On the pitch and outside the pitch. So I am always smiling, I am happy man, I'm blessed that I play in a fantastic club. I have a fantastic family, I have four kids, I am healthy. I have everything. So the rest, it doesn't interfere on me. I'm very, very well."

Mayorga says the star Juventus forward raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009 while she repeatedly screamed no, according to a lawsuit filed in Clark County, Nevada.

Mayorga's lawsuit accuses Ronaldo, 33, and his team of taking advantage of her fragile emotional state to coerce her into signing a settlement and nondisclosure agreement in 2009. She claims she received $375,000 in exchange for her silence. Her lawsuit seeks to void the settlement and agreement. Las Vegas police have reopened the criminal investigation.

Ronaldo's representatives denied the rape allegations when German publication Der Spiegel first reported them in 2017. After the outlet broke news of the lawsuit last month in an interview with Mayorga, Ronaldo's lawyer called the reporting "blatantly illegal."

Chinese President Xi Jinping has officially opened the world's longest sea crossing bridge on this day 23st October 2018 at Chinese.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Chinese President Xi Jinping has officially opened the world's longest sea crossing bridge, nine years after construction first began.

Including its access roads, the bridge spans 55km (34 miles) and connects Hong Kong to Macau and the mainland Chinese city of Zhuhai.

The bridge cost about $20bn (£15.3bn) and should have opened in 2016.

Construction has been dogged by safety issues - at least 18 workers have died on the project, officials say.

Russia opens controversial bridge to Crimea

Mr Xi attended the opening ceremony of the bridge, which took place in Zhuhai, along with the leaders of Hong Kong and Macau.

Limited bus services begin on Wednesday.

What's so special about this bridge?

Designed to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, it was built using 400,000 tonnes of steel, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers.

Images of China's mega bridge

About 30km of its total length crosses the sea of the Pearl River delta. To allow ships through, a 6.7km section in the middle dips into an undersea tunnel that runs between two artificial islands.

The remaining sections are link roads, viaducts and land tunnels connecting Zhuhai and Hong Kong to the main bridge.

Why has it been built?

It is part of China's plan to create a Greater Bay Area, including Hong Kong, Macau and nine other cities in southern China.

Do you dare cross China's glass bridges?

The bridge where you can 'walk through god's hands'

The area is currently home to 68 million people.

In the past, travelling between Zhuhai and Hong Kong would take up to four hours - the new bridge cuts this down to 30 minutes.

Can anyone drive across the bridge?

No. Those who want to cross the bridge must obtain special permits, allocated by a quota system. And all vehicles will pay a toll.

The bridge is not served by public transport, so private shuttle buses will ply the route. There is no rail link.

Authorities initially estimated that 9,200 vehicles would cross the bridge every day. They later lowered their estimations after new transport networks were built in the region.

What are people saying about it?

There's been a great deal of criticism of the project.

It has been dubbed the "bridge of death" by some local media. At least nine workers on the Hong Kong side have died and officials told BBC News Chinese that nine had died on the mainland side, too.

Hundreds of workers have also been injured during the construction.

It's fitted with 'yawn cams'?

Special cameras will be on the look-out for drivers on the bridge who show signs of getting sleepy, among other checks - yawn three times and the authorities will be alerted, local media report.

To help counter potential terror attacks, there will also be "48 high-definition surveillance cameras" mounted at intervals along the bridge as well as anti-terror police patrols, the South China Morning Post reports.

And drivers will have to change which side of the road they are on at the crossing. People drive on the left in Hong Kong and Macau but the bridge is Chinese territory and special merger channels have been built to cope with this.

There have also been concerns about the environmental impact.

Environmental groups say the project may have caused serious harm to marine life in the area, including the critically rare Chinese white dolphin.

The number of dolphins seen in Hong Kong waters has decreased from 148 to 47 in the past 10 years and they are now absent from the waters near the bridge, according to the Hong Kong branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

"The project has made irreversible damage to the sea," said Samantha Lee, Assistant Director of Ocean Conservation at the WWF. "I am worried that the number will never rise again."

Is it going to recoup its costs?

The bridge, surrounding link roads and artificial islands cost a staggering $20bn to build - the main bridge alone cost $6.92bn.

Chinese officials say it will generate up to 10 trillion yuan ($1.44tn; £1tn) for the economy, but one Hong Kong lawmaker cast doubt on that figure.

"I am not so sure either how the bridge can sustain itself if not many cars are using it," Tanya Chan told BBC News Chinese.

"I am pretty sure that we would never earn that [construction cost] back."

According to an estimate by BBC Chinese, the bridge will only earn around $86m in tolls per year.

In fact, the bridge's maintenance costs would already take away a third of this income.

Critics have called the bridge a "big white elephant" that guarantees no economic return. Others have said its main purpose is symbolic, ensuring Hong Kong is physically connected to the mainland.

Saudi Arabia deployed Twitter army against critics on Saturday,20 October 2018

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Saudi Arabia deployed an online army to harass dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi and other critics of the kingdom on Twitter, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

The efforts to attack Khashoggi and other influential Saudis, and sway public opinion against them on the social media service, included a so-called troll farm based in Riyadh and a suspected spy within Twitter that the kingdom utilized to monitor user accounts, the New York Times reported.

Twitter declined to comment. A representative from the Saudi embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

Saudi officials said on Saturday that Washington Post columnist Khashoggi died in a fight in its Istanbul consulate. Turkish officials say Khashoggi was assassinated and dismembered by Saudi security forces.

The Times reported Saudi operatives began a social media campaign to harass critics in 2010. Saud al-Qahtani, an adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, created the strategy behind the effort, the newspaper said, citing US and Saudi officials.

Qahtani was one of five officials Saudi King Salman has fired, according to Saudi state media, following the global controversy over Khashoggi's disappearance.

The Times also cited a report by the consultancy firm McKinsey & Co that discussed public perception of economic austerity measures announced by Saudi Arabia in 2015.

The newspaper, which obtained a copy of the nine-page report, said sentiment was more negative than positive, and that the conversation was driven by three people the report identified.

After the McKinsey report was issued, one of the three was arrested, a second said the government arrested two of his brothers and hacked his cellphone, and the third Twitter account was shut down, according to The Times.

McKinsey said in a statement that it was "horrified" by the possibility its report was used to target individuals and that it was not prepared for any government entity. McKinsey said it was investigating how and with whom the document was shared.

"We were never commissioned by any authority in Saudi Arabia to prepare a report of any kind or in any form to identify critics," McKinsey said. "In our work with governments, McKinsey has not and never would engage in any work that seeks to target individuals based on their views."

Saudi Arabia said on Saturday that Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi died at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.

The Saudi public prosecutor said a fight broke out between Khashoggi and people who met him in the consulate which led to his death.

"The investigations are still underway and 18 Saudi nationals have been arrested," the statement on state media said, adding that royal court adviser Saud al Qahtani and deputy intelligence chief Ahmed al Asiri have been fired from their positions.

The Saudi statement can be read here .

Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, went missing after entering the consulate on October 2 to obtain documents for his upcoming marriage.

TRT World looks back at the life of Khashoggi.
Saudi Arabia denies leadership was involved
Saturday's comments marked the first time since Khashoggi went missing that the Saudis admitted to his death. Senior Saudi leaders including King Salman and the crown prince have denied any knowledge of what happened to the Riyadh critic.

Saudi state media on Saturday said King Salman has ordered the formation of a ministerial committee headed by the crown prince to restructure the general intelligence agency.

TRT World spoke with Middle East expert, Ahmed Bedier, who said Riyadh has much to explain about Khashoggi's death after denying any knowledge of his fate for almost three weeks.
Trump says Saudi explanation 'credible'
The White House said on Friday it would press for justice after Saudi Arabia announced Khashoggi's death.

President Donald Trump said the Saudi explanation of what happened was credible and the announcement of arrests was a "good first step," but what happened was "unacceptable,"

Trump said Friday that he wants to talk to the Saudi crown prince before next steps are taken.

Trump said he would work with Congress on what the US response should be, but that he'd prefer not to hurt American companies and jobs by cutting billions of dollars in arms sales to the kingdom.

TRT World spoke to journalist James Dorsey for his analysis.
Saudi whitewash?
Members of Congress voiced skepticism about the Saudi public prosecutor's explanation that a fight between Khashoggi and people who met him on October 2 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul led to his death.

"To say that I am skeptical of the new Saudi narrative about Mr Khashoggi is an understatement," Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham, said on Twitter. Graham, who has been sharply critical of Saudi Arabia after Khashoggi's disappearance, is a close ally of President Donald Trump.

"First we were told Mr Khashoggi supposedly left the consulate and there was blanket denial of any Saudi involvement. Now, a fight breaks out and he's killed in the consulate, all without knowledge of [the] crown prince," Graham said.

"It's hard to find this latest 'explanation' as credible."

Congress has the power to block US arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

TRT World spoke with Khalil Jahshan from the Arab Center Washington DC, a think-tank, who said Riyadh's claim that Khashoggi's death was caused by a fistfight was a "whitewash."
Turkey continues its investigation
Saudi Arabia in its statement on Saturday said information provided by Turkey helped the kingdom reveal the truth about Khashoggi's murder.

According to the state-run Saudi Press Agency, Riyadh appreciated the distinguished cooperation of Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the probe into the Khashoggi case.

Turkish officials had early on said they believed Khashoggi was killed in the consular building in Istanbul.

Turkish prosecutors investigating Khashoggi's disappearance questioned Turkish employees of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Friday, widening the hunt for clues into the journalist's fate.

Turkey's Anadolu news agency said the Turkish prosecutor's office had obtained testimony from 20 consulate employees, and 25 more people including foreign nationals would be questioned.

The editor of The International Interest in London, Sami Hamdi unpacks the diplomatic events that preceded the statement.

The consulate employees questioned included accountants, technicians and a driver, Anadolu said. The investigation is being conducted by the prosecutor's terrorism and organised crime bureau, it added.

Turkish police also searched a forest on Istanbul's outskirts and a city near the Sea of Marmara for Khashoggi's remains, two senior Turkish officials told Reuters, after tracking the routes of cars that left the consulate and the consul's residence on the day he vanished.

The Washington Post's editorial page editor Fred Hiatt paid tribute to his former colleague, saying Khashoggi was committed to freedom of speech in the Middle East.

Turkey said it had not shared with any country audio recordings purportedly documenting Khashoggi's murder inside the consulate, dismissing reports it had passed them to the United States.

"We will share the results that emerge transparently with the whole world," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said.

Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak has published what it said were details from the audio, including that his torturers severed Khashoggi's fingers during an interrogation and later beheaded and dismembered him.

Khashoggi's disappearance has tarnished the crown prince's reputation and deepened questions about his leadership, prompting Saudi King Salman to intervene, five sources with links to the Saudi royal family told Reuters.

The crown prince has painted himself as the face of a vibrant new kingdom, diversifying its economy away from oil and introducing some social changes.

Other moves have faced criticism, including involvement in Yemen's war, the arrest of women activists and a diplomatic dispute with Canada.

Pakistan's prime minister and a delegation led by Russian Direct Investment Fund head Kirill Dmitriev plan to participate. Britain's BAE Systems is sending senior representatives.

A conference spokesperson confirmed the conference would proceed with an updated program that includes heads of state from the Arab world, Africa and Asia.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho will not be punished by the Football Association for his part in the injury-time fracas at Chelsea on Saturday.

But Blues coach Marco Ianni has been charged with improper conduct.

The incident occurred when Ianni celebrated Chelsea's 96th-minute equaliser in front of the United bench, sparking a retaliation from Mourinho.

The FA said the Portuguese manager had been "formally reminded of his responsibilities" after the 2-2 draw.

An FA spokesperson added: "Both clubs have received similar official reminders in terms of the behaviour expected of their staff and players at all times whilst in the technical area."

Ianni has until 18:00 BST on Thursday to respond to the charge.

On Monday, Mourinho said Ianni had apologised to him and "deserves a second chance".

"I want to thank Chelsea and [Maurizio Sarri]," Mourinho said. "The young boy does not deserve more than what he got.

"He apologised to me. He deserves a second chance - he doesn't deserve to be sacked. He went through a situation where he recognises he was wrong.

"I hope everybody does the same as I did and do not disturb the career of a great guy. Probably someone with great potential. I'm not happy at all with more than that."

(CNN) - Lewis Hamilton will have to wait a little longer to clinch his fifth F1 world title after Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen claimed his first victory in 113 starts to take a gripping US Grand Prix in Texas Sunday.

Hamilton finished third in his Mercedes behind Raikkonen and Red Bull's Max Verstappen but still increased his title lead to 70 points over Sebastian Vettel, who was back in fourth after an early spin at the Circuit of Americas.

Raikkonen overtook polesitter Hamilton off the start and took advantage of perfect race tactics from his Ferrari team to take the checkered flag for the first time since Australia in 2013.

It is the longest gap between wins in F1 history, beating the previous mark of Italian Riccardo Patrese

"It's been a long wait, but here we are," said the popular 39-year-old Finn.

Turkey's Erdogan to reveal 'naked truth' about Khashoggi on October 17

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected Tuesday to reveal what he has said is the "naked truth" about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul -- a killing Ankara has said was "savagely planned".

His speech comes as US President Donald Trump said he was "not satisfied" with Riyadh's explanation of the Washington Post contributor's death in a case has tarnished the image of powerful Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

A tough critic of the Saudi Crown Prince, Khashoggi, 59, disappeared after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 to collect a document for his upcoming marriage.

A few days later, a Turkish government source said police believed he was murdered by a team sent to Istanbul, and on October 17, a Turkish newspaper said he was tortured and decapitated inside the consulate.

After more than two weeks of near silence, Saudi Arabia admitted on Saturday that Khashoggi was killed in an altercation at the consular office -- an explanation rejected by friends and foes alike.

Trump, who had said he found Riyadh's initial explanations credible, told reporters at the White House Monday: "I am not satisfied with what I have heard" since then, and expected to know more "very soon".

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin meanwhile met the Crown Prince behind closed doors in Riyadh for talks while CIA Director Gina Haspel headed for Turkey, although details of her trip were not immediately clear.

White House advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner said he had urged Prince Mohammed to be "fully transparent" stressing that "the world is watching".

The case has shone the spotlight on the Crown Prince, who was credited with spearheading a reform drive but is now accused of having ordered Khashoggi's murder -- a claim Riyadh denies.

And as further details of the killing continued to seep out, CNN broadcast images showing a Saudi official playing a body double for Khashoggi, wearing the journalist's clothes, exiting the consulate.
- 'Enemy of Turkey' -
Omer Celik, spokesman of Erdogan's ruling party, said the killing "was planned in an extremely savage manner," and that "there has been a lot of effort to whitewash this".

An Erdogan adviser, Yasin Aktay, wrote in the Yeni Safak daily that Riyadh's version of events "feels like our intelligence is being mocked".

The security official heading a team of 15 Saudis allegedly sent to Istanbul, called the head of Prince Mohammed's office, Bader al-Asaker, "four times after the murder", the adviser added.

Abdulkadir Selvi, whose Hurriyet newspaper columns are closely watched for indications of Erdogan's thinking, wrote that Khashoggi was slowly strangled to death before a Saudi forensic specialist cut his body into 15 pieces while listening to music.

"We cannot close this file until the crown prince is brought to account and removed from his post," said Selvi.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, a smooth former envoy to Washington, appeared on Fox News Sunday to blame a "rogue operation" by individuals who "exceeded their responsibilities" and then "tried to cover up for it".

With Khashoggi's remains still missing, Turkish police have found an abandoned car belonging to the Saudi consulate in an underground car park in the Sultangazi district of Istanbul, state media said.

Erdogan has stopped short of directly pointing the finger at Riyadh. Analysts say he preferred to authorise the leak of incriminating information to pro-government media to put pressure on the kingdom.

He has twice held telephone talks with King Salman on the crisis, interpreted by some as sidelining the ageing monarch's son Prince Mohammed.
- 'Justice must be served' -
The timing of the controversy could not be worse for the crown prince as he prepares to host a key investment summit Tuesday, overshadowed by big name cancellations.

Dozens of executives from bankers Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan to ride-hailing app Uber to Western leaders like International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde have pulled out of the three-day Future Investment Initiative (FII), dubbed "Davos in the desert".

The chief executive of German industrial conglomerate Siemens Joe Kaeser was the latest to cancel, saying "for now, the truth must be found and justice must be served".

Petrol giant Total's head Patrick Pouyanne, however, said he will attend the meeting as "empty chair politics" do not advance human rights.

Meanwhile German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Berlin would not export arms to Riyadh "in the current situation," despite Germany's approval last month of 416 million euros' ($480 million) worth of arms exports in 2018.

Korean leaders accept courage award from Indonesian foreign policy community on Sunday 21st October 2018 in Jakarta

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) granted the Courage for Peace Award to North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in for their initiative to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula.

"The FPCI strongly highlights the peace process on the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, we gladly give this Courage for Peace Award," said FPCI founder Dino Patti Djalal at the opening ceremony of the community's annual conference, the Conference of Indonesian Foreign Policy (CIFP) 2018, in Jakarta on Saturday.

The award, received by North Korean and South Korean ambassadors to Indonesia, An Kwan-il and Kim Chang-beom, respectively, was given amid lively applause and cheers from the conference participants. They cheered as both envoys showed signs of solidarity by raising their joined hands in the air.

"It is a great honor to receive this special award for Mr. Kim Jong-un. I will do my best to deliver this award as soon as possible to the highest Mr. Kim Jong-un," said the North Korean An during the event.

He said his leader had been attempting to promote peace on the Korean Peninsula, hence easing tensions in the area. He then gave credit to the international community, saying that because of their support, the peace process could go well.

South Korean Kim also expressed his gratitude for the award, saying that the two Koreas could now stand together due to a common aspiration. "We are here standing by together [because we are] united by one thing, by a common aspiration: aspiration for peace and peace-building in the Korean Peninsula," he said in his speech.

"Such a dramatic change is possible due to support of people here and around the world," Kim said. "It is, however, still in the initial stage. Hopefully you will always stand with us, as well as the journey to the peaceful world." (evi)
