Trump signs order undoing Obama climate change policies

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order rolling back Obama-era rules aimed at curbing climate change.

The president said this would put an end to the "war on coal" and "job-killing regulations".

The Energy Independence Executive Order suspends more than half a dozen measures enacted by his predecessor, and boosts fossil fuels.

Business groups have praised the Trump administration's move but environmental campaigners have condemned it.

Outside the White House, a few hundred protesters gathered to vent their displeasure at the executive order.

How much has Trump achieved so far?

Inside, the president was flanked by coal miners as he signed the order, saying: "My administration is putting an end to the war on

A missing Indonesian man was found dead inside the body of a python, according to local police.

Akbar went missing on Sunday on the island of Sulawesi, after leaving to harvest palm oil.

In the search for the 25-year-old, police told BBC Indonesian that they had found a huge snake they suspected had swallowed the man.

The reticulated python, reported to be 7m (23ft)-long, was cut open and the man's body was found.

Reticulated pythons are among the world's longest reptiles and suffocate their victims before swallowing them whole.

Pythons rarely kill and eat humans, although there are occasional reports of them swallowing young children or animals.

Mashura, a spokesperson for the police in West Sulawesi province told BBC Indonesian that villagers reported to police that Akbar had been missing for 24 hours.

Police then conducted a search and found the snake near the family's palm plantation.

"They didn't find him (Akbar), but the villagers saw an unmoving python in the ditch. They grew suspicious that maybe the snake had Akbar. When they cut it open, Akbar was inside the snake," Mashura, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said.

Nia Kurniawan, from Brawijaya University, told BBC Indonesian that a python of this size would hunt for large prey, such as boars or wild dogs.

While they normally avoid human settlements, they would see palm oil plantations as a good hunting ground, he said, as they attract animals like boars, primates or dogs.

Trump signs order undoing Obama climate change policies

President Donald Trump signed an order to undo the climate change policies made by Former President Barack Obama. Trump says this will put an end to the "war on coal" and "job-killing regulations". The Energy Independence Executive Order (the name of the order) suspends more than half a dozen measures enacted by his predecessor, and boosts fossil fuels.

If you ask me, I think it's a bad idea. The effects of Global Warming are happening all around us yet Trump wants to do this. It's because of fossil fuels and carbon emission that it's happening in the first place. Now, he wants to put coal back again. It's unbelievable. I really think this is a bad idea.

IS conflict: Air strike 'kills dozens in village near Raqqa'

At least 33 people have been killed in an air strike on a school in a village west of the Islamic State-held Syrian city of Raqqa, a monitoring group says.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the building in al-Mansoura was being used as a shelter for displaced people when it was hit on Monday night.

The activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently said the fate of 50 families who were there was unknown.

Both groups believe the raid was carried out by US-led coalition jets.

There was no immediate comment from the coalition, but it has said there were 19 strikes near Raqqa on Monday, including three that destroyed IS "headquarters".

The coalition is supporting an offensive by an alliance of Syrian Kurdish and Arab fighters aimed at capturing Raqqa, the de facto capital of the "caliphate" proclaimed by IS in 2014.

The Syrian Observatory, which is based in the UK, said one of its activists had witnessed 33 bodies being pulled out of the rubble of the school in al-Mansoura, in the western Raqqa countryside.

Two other people were found out alive before IS militants arrived and told bystanders to leave, it added.

Residents of the village told the Syrian Observatory that displaced families from Raqqa, Homs and Aleppo provinces were living in the school.

The Syrian Observatory said Monday's air strike meant at least 116 civilians, including 18 children and 23 women, had been killed in suspected coalition air strikes in the past two weeks

Fresh anguish for Madeleine McCann's parents as Portugal's supreme court insists they haven't been proved innocent over their daughter's death

Kate and Gerry McCann always claimed they were innocent of any wrongdoing

Former Portuguese police chief Goncalo Amaral's allegations Maddie died in their holiday flat and her parents faked her abduction to cover up the tragedy

Court in Lisbon said lifting of 'suspect' status did not mean they're innocent

The thing is, if it happened in this country, would they have just got away with abandoning three children for the evening? I think not. I'm truly sorry that Maddie has gone, and I'd love to think she was alive and well. I cannot begin to imagine what they are going through. But at the same time, I'm afraid you don't leave your kids on their own, whilst you go out for dinner, in another country! Not just one child, but three!!! How can a parent do that??

The Nintendo Switch Success

e Switch has been on the market for just over four days, and the headlines are blaring about what has undoubtedly been a successful launch for Nintendo's newest hardware. The Switch had the best initial two-day sales of any Nintendo console in North America, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime told a New York Times reporter. The same is true in Europe, where Nintendo of Europe announced via press release that the system had "sold more in its launch weekend than any other Nintendo hardware in history."

More discrete country-specific numbers also look strong for the Switch right out of the gate. In Japan, the system has sold just over 330,000 units in three days, according to Famitsu, only slightly less than the ultra-successful Wii did at its launch. GamesIndustry.biz reports the Switch sold 80,000 units in a single day across the UK, while in France, the system has already sold 105,000 units, making it the best-selling console launch of all time in that country, according to Le Figaro.

Mother drugged 9-year-old daughter and burnt her to death amid bitter custody battle

A Canadian woman has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to the murder of her nine-year-old daughter.

Laura Coward was arrested in Alberta, Canada, in August 2014, two days after her daughter Amber Lucius was reported missing.

At the time Ms Coward's divorce from Amber's father, Duane Lucius, had just been finalised. Mr Lucius was to take full custody of the child.

Ms Coward, who had told friends she was taking Amber stargazing, instead took her daughter to a remote location where she gave her prescription sleeping pills. She then set her SUV on fire, with Amber inside.

The burnt-out vehicle was later discovered by a police officer who found a handwritten note on the outside of the driver's door reading: "Help me. It was an accident. Locked keys in."

Following an autopsy, Amber is understood to have died of a combination of hypothermia, smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Calgary judge Justice Scott Brooker, presiding, told the court that the sentence should reflect "society's disgust and outrage."

"Amber was completely vulnerable to and trusting of her mother," he added. "It was the ultimate betrayal and breach of trust for Ms. Coward to kill her daughter."

Ms Coward will be eligible to apply for parole in 18 years.

Following the sentencing Mr Lucius released a statement saying: “Since the moment Amber was born, she was the light of my life. She was energetic, talkative and full of joy. I will never get to watch my daughter grow up, but I know she would have done great in life.

"No sentence will do justice for what has happened to Amber. As a father, I have had to bury my child and nothing will bring her back. I can only hope that other children are not being used as bargaining chips in a divorce or used to hurt the other parent.
"Amber was my life and I will miss her every day until my end. I will never forget her."

The boys were picked up in a car by the smuggler and, after a few days lying low in the city of Raqqa, they made a long, nail-biting journey to the border. Sabbah recalls the moment they left Syrian soil and slipped back into Iraq: “We danced on the street in celebration. I’m happy that my friend convinced me to run away and he is now like a brother for me.”

Lovant and Sabbah’s account of being in a training facility tallies with what has been gleaned from IS propaganda videos.

Recently, IS released a new shocking video which appears to show two young Yazidi boys carrying out a suicide car bomb attack on Iraqi forces in Mosul

One report asserts that these boys are only aged 11 and 12, and were captured from the town of Sinjar in August 2014.

In the video, the boys talk about leaving behind their old religion: “in Sinjar, we were worshipping Satan,” they say. They are shown pledging allegiance to IS before getting into cars laden with explosives.

But why would so-called Islamic State co-opt Yazidi boys? Possibly to simply to swell the ranks of jihadist fighters. Professor Mia Bloom, from Georgia State University, thinks there is another reason: “There is a benefit to using them in propaganda. It is intended to send a message to the world from IS that even our former enemies are with us. So it’s almost like you can redeem yourself, regardless of your ethnicity, by joining them.”
When I meet Lovant and Sabbah, they are doing what many teenagers do on a cold, February afternoon. They are playing on an Xbox in their bedroom. They are now living quietly in a shelter for about 80 Yazidis in the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg.

Their new home is a former municipal building which looks very institutional but is clean and warm. Much has been done to make it feel like a home with kids’ art on the walls and colourful blankets on the beds. Dozens of small children run down the long white corridors – enjoying the echoes of their own voices.

This is almost exclusively a community of women because so many of the fathers are missing. Both former child soldiers and those women who were sold into sexual slavery by IS are offered regular sessions with therapists to talk about the violence and abuse they endured.

Uncertainty is part of the torment for these Yazidis living in exile because 3,500 women and children are still thought to be held by IS militants.

They still have my son

away and almost certainly killed. Her two older sons were marched off to Mosul and she does not know what happened to them.

At first, Gule managed to stay with her youngest son, who was four at the time. But eventually they, too, became separated. She says he is now being held by jihadists. In a macabre twist, they have even been able to send pictures and videos of him via mobile phone.

One of these pictures shows the boy – now aged six –crouching next to a rifle. “They do it to play around with our feelings and to hurt us, when we see our children with guns pointed at them,” she says.

The pictures leave her tearful and confused: "On the one hand I am happy that he is still alive, but on the other hand I am sad that he isn’t next to me and that he’s under their control.”

She has offered to buy her son back, but the IS fighters holding him say they do not want to let him go. Gule says she would do anything to see her son again.
The Yazidis practise a 4,000-year-old religion which contains elements of Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They are considered devil-worshippers by the so-called Islamic State group.

In the summer of 2014, IS forces displaced more than 360,000 Yazidis in the province of Ninewa. Many fled up Mount Sinjar in blistering temperatures to escape the mass rapes and killings. On August 7, 2014, President Obama authorised airstrikes to push back the jihadist forces and allow the trapped Yazidis to leave the mountain.

America has subsequently called the treatment of the Yazidis by IS a “genocide”. The UN’s Genocide Convention includes the crime of “forcibly transferring children of one group to another group”.

It was following the exodus to Mount Sinjar that the Central Council of Yazidis in Germany appealed to the southern state of Baden-Wurttemberg for help. Local politicians agreed to take 650 of the most severely traumatised women and children from northern Iraq. In the end, the German state actually took in 1,000 refugees – mostly Yazidis but with some persecuted Christians and Muslims, too.

These were former prisoners of so-called Islamic State –including girls as young as eight who had been raped. The idea was to offer them the counselling and therapy that they may not have access to in the refugee camps of the Middle East.
Michael Blume is a German academic who helped set up the Baden-Wurttemberg project, funded by taxpayers’ money.
He says they had a very positive response locally with 21 towns in Baden-Wurttemberg volunteering to take in the newcomers.

“Many Germans realise that we have a responsibility from history to take care of minorities that are persecuted by genocide,” he points out. “We also had many, many German women who suffered traumatising and sexual violence at the end of World War Two. So a lot of people said we should help these women because we know what they went through.”

Blume says there has been some interest from other countries to replicate the project elsewhere, for example, in Canada and Austria. A cross-party group of 56 British MPs and peers recently wrote to the UK Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, to suggest that the UK should also follow suit. Ninety per cent of Yazidis are Iraqi, so they are not currently included in the Syrian refugee quotas set out
Blume thinks this project is an obvious model to copy especially given the disquiet in many quarters about Angela Merkel’s “open door” refugee policy. “Maybe it’s better to choose humanitarian cases in the region of crisis, because then you can concentrate on those who need the most help. The public here seems to understand that these are the most vulnerable cases. If you just open the borders, you will only get those strong enough to make it to Germany.”

Some other NGOs have expressed concerns about the German project. They worry it is too tough for the Yazidis – who come from an old-fashioned and closed society – to adapt to an alien environment in western Europe miles away from home. But Blume is adamant that anyone who wants to return to northern Iraq will be flown straight back.

Piers Morgan said he was relieved to be leaving the EU after arguing with "the most sexist man in politics", a Polish MEP who believes women are less intelligent than men.

Janusz Korwin-Mikke, who came to British attention last week when he argued in European Parliament that women don't deserve equal pay, was not shy in laying out his extreme views on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.

His words caused Piers Morgan to angrily say: "You are an incredibly stupid man" and claim Mr Korwin-Mikke MEP is "the greatest advert for Britain leaving the EU".

The right-wing firebrand said "blondes earn more than brunettes" and that taller people should earn more than short people.

March 8, 2017

Susanna Reid took umbrage at this and said: "I'm astonished by what you're saying...to argue that there is a scientific basis for women being less intelligent as men sounds like utter nonsense.

"While I would agree in cases that sometimes women are weaker than men, but I don't know why you could justify a pay gap because they are shorter".

Piers Morgan was more concise in his assessment of the MEP's ideas, saying: "It's quite extraordinary to have a man that tall be so unbelievably dim".

Yazidi teenagers held in a military training camp reveal how they were taught to kill

· German state of Baden-Wurttemberg gives refuge to Yazidi women traumatised by rape

· Mother details distress that IS send her videos via mobile phone of her kidnapped six-year-old son

All names in this story have been changed

Lovant and Sabbah were just 16 and 14 when they were forced to fire bullets into the dead bodies of men executed for being traitors by so-called Islamic State.

This was target practice – just one part of the daily rounds of weapons training they endured at a military camp for youngsters.

The boys are Yazidis from northern Iraq. In 2014, the world watched in horror as tens of thousands of their people were trapped on Mount Sinjar in the searing heat without food or water. At the same time, the teenagers Lovant and Sabbah were being rounded up in their village by IS fighters.
Most of the adult males were taken away and murdered, while the boys were moved with their mothers to a nearby city in northern Iraq, before being separated from their families altogether.

For over a year, they were held against their will and trained as “cubs of the caliphate” at a camp deep in a mountainous region of Syria.
This is to do with human rights as two teenagers was taken with no option of leaving but to only have to go with them.

# data[].attributes.body
A Canadian town has apologised after a water treatment plan turned the water supply pink.

Residents of Onoway, Alberta, complained to the town office when taps began running pink water on Monday.

In a statement, Mayor Dale Krasnow said there was no public health risk but the town "could have done a better job communicating what was going on".

The mayor said it was the unfortunate side-effect of a common water-treatment chemical, potassium permanganate.

The chemical is commonly used to remove iron and hydrogen sulphide from water, and the town office said it got into the reservoir when a valve malfunctioned during "normal line flushing and filter backwashing".

"The reservoir was drained, however some of the chemical still made it into the distribution system.

"While it is alarming to see pink water coming from your taps, potassium permanganate is used in normal treatment processes to help remove iron and manganese and residents were never at risk."

The chemical can cause skin irritation, according to the World Health Organization, but there were no reports of any adverse effects.

Complaints were more about being kept in the dark - residents said they were annoyed they were not told why the water was fluorescent pink until Tuesday morning.

"This is a situation we can certainly learn from and develop a strategy for better response and communication should we ever face the same or similar situation in the future," the mayor said.

Budget 2017: Hammond's 'upbeat' message over Brexit future

Chancellor Philip Hammond will use his first Budget to help prepare Britain for a "new chapter" in its history after Brexit, the Treasury has said.

In an "upbeat" speech, he is expected to say the economy has proved resilient since the referendum but admit that many families are "feeling the pinch".

Extra money is expected for social care in England and to help firms facing steep business rate rises.

Labour demanded a break from the Tories' "failed economic policies".

Budget Live: Rolling text and video coverage

Chancellor to outline North Sea help

Cash for new grammar schools in Budget

Mr Hammond is expected to announce that a £5m fund will be set up to mark the centenary of female suffrage next year.

The Budget, which coincides with International Women's Day, will support projects celebrating the 1918 Representation of the People Act, which gave more than eight million women the vote for the first time and which paved the way for universal suffrage a decade later.

With the public finances proving stronger in recent months than expected, and defying forecasts of a post-EU referendum downturn, economists say the chancellor has more room for manoeuvre than he might have expected at the time of last November's Autumn Statement.

He has already announced £320m in funding for new free schools and the expansion of existing grammar schools, while the science budget is also expected to be a winner, with funding for electric vehicles, robotics and artificial intelligence.
But Mr Hammond has distanced himself from talk of wider giveaways, stressing the need for the UK to reduce borrowing in the long term and to ensure the country is prepared for future global economic uncertainty and any short-term turbulence arising from its withdrawal from the EU.

The Treasury said Mr Hammond - who will set out his tax and spending plans for the year ahead at 12:30 GMT - would give an "upbeat assessment" of the UK's economic prospects and offer a "positive backdrop ahead of the start of new chapter for the country outside of the EU".

The only problem is that both Abram and his wife, Sarai (later called Sarah) are old people and childless. They will have to leave their homeland and they don't even know who this God is! They seem to be an almost impossible set of promises for God to keep. But the amazing fact about Abram is that he does what he is asked. There are no signs or miracles; he has no scriptures or traditions on which to draw, so Abram has to place his trust in this nameless God. Consequently, Abram has gone down in history as a man of tremendous faith. As a result of his obedience, God changes his name to Abraham, meaning 'father of the people'.

The ultimate test of Abraham's obedience, however, comes in Genesis 22 when he is asked to sacrifice his son by Sarah - Isaac. God had promised that Abraham's descendents would come through Isaac, so the level of faith he displays is quite astonishing. Abraham trusts God and takes his son, as directed, up a mountain. At the very last minute, God intervenes and spares Isaac's life by providing another animal (a ram) for sacrifice. The test is complete and God once more reiterates his promises to Abraham of land, descendents and a personal relationship.

According to the Bible, Abraham is humanity's last chance to establish a relationship with God. At the beginning of the Bible in the creation narratives, Adam and Eve set in train a pattern of disobedience to God's commands which takes root. Even after the Great Flood, in which only Noah was saved, humanity once again comes perilously close to alienating themselves from their creator God. They build the tower of Babel (Genesis 11), a tower that seems like it will almost break through to the heavens and God again intervenes and scatters the people across the earth.

The trafficking of people into the UK is on the rise. The latest figures for 2015 suggest that 3,266 people were potential victims of trafficking, a 40% increase on the previous year. The largest number - 600 - came from Albania. The BBC's Reeta Chakrabarti has been speaking to victims of trafficking in both the UK and Albania.

'I was forced to sleep with several men'

In a women's refuge in southern Albania, the victims of trafficking and violence are mere schoolgirls, 10 or 12 of them eyeing us shyly and looking impossibly young.

They all have tales of brutality and exploitation. Some of these children already have little children of their own, the products of the rapes they were subjected to.

Divisive political rhetoric a danger to the world, Amnesty says

Politicians who have used a divisive and dehumanised rhetoric are creating a more divided and dangerous world, says rights group Amnesty International.

Its annual report singles out President Donald Trump as an example of an "angrier and more divisive politics".

But it criticises other leaders, including those of Turkey, Hungary and the Philippines, who it says have used narratives of fear, blame and division.

The group also says governments are exploiting refugees for political ends.

The report, which covers 159 countries, cited a rise in hate speech across the US and Europe targeting refugees and said the reverberations would see more attacks on people on the basis of race, gender, nationality and religion.

It criticised countries that, it said, once claimed to champion rights abroad and that were now rolling back human rights at home.

"Instead of fighting for people's rights, too many leaders have adopted a dehumanizing agenda for political expediency," Salil Shetty, secretary general of Amnesty International, said in a statement.

"The limits of what is acceptable have shifted. Politicians are shamelessly and actively legitimizing all sorts of hateful rhetoric and policies based on people's identity: misogyny, racism and homophobia."

A schoolboy has been rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the neck following a fight in Croydon town centre this afternoon.

Shortly after 4.30pm police were carrying out a routine patrol in Poplar Walk when they came across a large group of youths fighting.

Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and the London Air Ambulance were called when a 14-year-old boy was found to be suffering from a stab wound to his neck.

A photo posted to social media showed a number of police officers kneeling down to help the injured teenager.

The victim has now been taken to a south London hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Officers are now investigating the events that led up to the boy being injured.

"Anyone who may have seen anything that may help police is asked to contact 101."

An eyewitness told the Advertiser some of the youths who were fighting were wearing school uniforms.

Anayat Khan, who works in North End, saw a group of teenagers fighting in front of the Marks & Spencer, on the corner of Poplar Walk and North End.

He said: "I saw two young students fighting. Suddenly one of them ran away to Poplar Walk and the other chased him and [I saw him] take out a knife.

"I couldn't believe it. He had [it] in his school bag and he stabbed another young boy four times.

"It was horrible to see."

An employee at Everyday's Restaurant, who asked not to be named, said about 15 "young people" were involved in the fight, with some of them wearing school uniform.

Another witness, Adam Knight, went to get a bus at West Croydon Bus Station when he saw the incident. He has since left the scene but described what he saw.

He added: "[There was a] police van with blue [lights on] which was parked up. [I saw] seven or eight officers around [the area].

"There is no debris or any obvious signs of what happened."

One woman tweeted that someone had been on stabbed on a bus in West Croydon. It isn't clear at this stage whether this was the same incident.

A US appeals court has posed tough questions at those challenging and defending President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban.

The order banned entry for all refugees and visitors from seven mainly Muslim nations, until it was halted last week.

The three-judge panel raised questions over the limits on the president's power and Mr Trump's evidence to link the seven countries to terrorism.

But it also asked whether the measure could be considered anti-Muslim.

A decision from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, in San Francisco, is expected later this week. Whatever it decides, the case will probably end up in the Supreme Court.

Democratic US Senator Elizabeth Warren was silenced by Senate Republicans on Tuesday after reading a letter written by the widow of Martin Luther King Jr.

The 30-year-old letter criticised Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump's nomination for attorney general.

Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader, said Ms Warren had broken senate rules by impugning the conduct of another senator.

She subsequently read Coretta Scott King's letter live on Facebook.

The incident occurred during a debate in the senate on the nomination of Mr Sessions. Mr McConnell's objection to Ms Warren's speech was put to a vote and senators voted 49-43 in his favour.

Ms Warren described what happened in a comment alongside her Facebook video: "During the debate on whether to make Jeff Sessions the next Attorney General, I tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King on the floor of the Senate.

"The letter, from 30 years ago, urged the Senate to reject the nomination of Jeff Sessions to a federal judgeship. The Republicans took away my right to read this letter on the floor - so I'm right outside, reading it now."

My opinion:
My opinion on this is that apparently you can't bring up other president's past. Like Martin Luther King.

Why are Indians being arrested for sitting during the national anthem?

The top court has ruled that the national anthem be played before every film and that audiences stand

Twelve people were arrested on Monday evening at a cinema in India, after they remained seated while the national anthem played.

The cinemagoers, who were attending an international film festival in the city of Trivandrum in Kerala, were later freed but they face charges of "failure to obey an order issued by a public servant, thereby causing obstruction or annoyance to others".

And at a cinema in Chennai on Sunday, eight people who did not stand for the anthem were assaulted and abused, police said. The eight were later charged with showing disrespect to the anthem.

The arrests and reports of assault follow last month's Supreme Court ruling that the national anthem be played before every film and that audiences stand while it is played - and they make it clear that authorities are taking the ruling seriously.

"If we did not sit on chairs, I thought we would lose the seats," one detainee told theIndian Express.

Why a disabled person was assaulted in an Indian cinema

Does India's national anthem extol the British?

The controversial ruling - cheered by the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP - comes at a time of routine demands on Indians to display patriotism, and this is not the first time people have been targeted for not respecting the national song.

In October, a disabled man who had been carried from his wheelchair to a seat,described how he was assaulted by other members of the audience for not standing for the anthem.

Some cinemagoers refused to stand on Sunday, before the arrests a day later

In the past three years, people have been thrown out cinemas and even charged with sedition for not standing up for the anthem.

A 1971 law makes any obstruction to the singing of the song "or causing disturbances to any assembly engaged in such singing" punishable by a three-year prison term and/or a fine.

But October's Supreme Court ruling gives national authority to what was previously a rash of loosely-followed, state-specific laws.

The ruling says that the anthem must be played in all cinemas, accompanied by an image of the Indian flag, and everyone must stand. It also stated that the doors must remain closed to prevent people from entering or leaving. The court later amended the ruling to exempt disabled people.

The top court has ruled that standing for the anthem is mandatory in cinemas

Critics of the Supreme Court ruling have called it a case of judicial overreach and an attack on freedom of expression.

Political scientist Suhas Palshikar said the ruling threatened to turn "citizens into subjects". Gopalkrishna Gandhi, a former diplomat, wrote: "The national anthem is not a traffic signal that has to be respected. It is not a tax that requires compliance. It is not a test that has to be submitted to."

The national anthem is seen as a test of patriotism in the US and many other countries too

National anthems are seen as tests of patriotism around the world. In Japan, school teachers have been warned for not standing up during the anthem. In Mexico, a woman was fined for mixing up the words.

And in the US, the Star-Spangled Banner has a long-standing association with protest. In September, American football player Colin Kaepernick said he hadreceived death threats over his refusal to stand for the anthem in protest against the treatment of black people by police.

"Some of the right, committed to nationalistic politics, naturally see the anthem as a vital issue," Kevin Kruse, a professor of history at Princeton University, told me. "This has been true in past moments too, especially in times of war - the anthem being politicised during the Vietnam era, for instance, leading to the 1968 Olympics protest."

But what is unsettling in India, said political scientist Suhas Palshikar, is that state-ministered patriotism "often tends to give way to unruly vigilantism or authoritarian state machinery, or both".

The proprietor of the Daily Mail told its editor that David Cameron pressed for him to be sacked during the EU referendum, BBC Newsnight has learned.

Lord Rothermere told Paul Dacre the prime minister urged him to rein in his pro-Brexit editor, then suggested he sack him, a source told the BBC.

The Mail mounted a vociferous campaign for Brexit in the run up to the vote.

A spokesman for Mr Cameron said he "did not believe he could determine who edits the Daily Mail".

The disclosure casts fresh light on one of the most bitter personal enmities of the Brexit campaign.

Newsnight understands the prime minister personally tried to persuade Mr Dacre to "cut him some slack" in a private meeting in his No 10 Downing Street flat on 2 February, the day European Council President Donald Tusk unveiled details of the deal negotiated by Mr Cameron for the UK.

Mr Dacre told Mr Cameron he would not temper his editorial line on Brexit because he had been a committed Eurosceptic for more than 25 years and believed his readers were too.

In early March, Mr Dacre was told by a Westminster source that the prime minister had tried to persuade Lord Rothermere, a strong supporter of the UK remaining in the EU, to sack him.

The Daily Mail editor was said to be "incandescent" and his resolve to campaign for Brexit "stiffened".

Trump picks Neil Gorsuch as nominee for Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump has nominated Colorado federal appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch for the US Supreme Court.

If confirmed by the Senate, the 49-year-old would restore the court's conservative majority, lost with the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

The Senate Democratic leader has said he has "very serious doubts" about Judge Gorsuch's nomination.

The court has the final legal word on many of the most sensitive US issues, from abortion to gender to gun control.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mr Trump said Judge Gorsuch had a "superb intellect, an unparalleled legal education, and a commitment to interpreting the Constitution according to text".

"Judge Gorsuch has outstanding legal skills, a brilliant mind, tremendous discipline, and has earned bipartisan support," Mr Trump said.

He was picked from a shortlist of 21 choices, which Mr Trump made public during the election campaign.

Accepting the nomination, he said: "It is the role of judges to apply, not alter, the work of the people's representatives. A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge, stretching for results he prefers rather than those the law demands."

Donald Trump banned seven countries reason why he did this:
Donald Trump has said that the seven affected countries were identified by Barack Obama’s administration as “sources of terror”.
He said: “To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.”
My opinion:
I understand his reason to keep his country safe however I think there are better choices he could of done. Furthermore this choice broke families apart and I causing many problems. So i believe He should find a better solution.

An executive order is an official statement from the president which tells government agencies how to use their resources.  In the case of Mr Trump's "Muslim ban", the order bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for a period of 90 days. It also suspends the United States' refugee system for a period of 120 days.  Mr Trump says his "extreme vetting" system will help "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US".  The order itself does not name the countries whose citizens are banned from entering the US. Instead, it refers to a statute which applies to seven Muslim-majority nations. They are Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Iraq, with dual nationals included in the ban.

The bill on Article 50 is set to be published in the coming days

MPs are stepping up their calls for the government to publish its plan for Brexit in a formal policy document.

A number of Conservatives have joined Labour in asking for a White Paper on negotiating objectives, arguing it will allow for a fuller debate.

It comes after the Supreme Court ruled MPs must vote on whether the government can start Brexit.

A parliamentary bill paving the way for talks with the EU could be introduced as early as Thursday.
