In the last two years, three Saudi princes living in Europe have disappeared. All were critical of the Saudi government - and there is evidence that all were abducted and flown back to Saudi Arabia… where nothing further has been heard from them.

Barcelona became the latest European city to be struck by a terrorist ramming into pedestrians, as at least 13 people were killed and 100 more injured in one of the continent’s busiest tourist spots.

Islamic State has threatened more attacks in Europe as its militants lost territory in Syria and Iraq. While some of the previous terrorists had training, others have just been inspired by the extremists with little or no formal contact.

The nation has been a target of Islamist terrorism before. About 200 people were killed by bombs on early morning commuter trains in Madrid in 2004. Though like in most capitals until recently, tourist thoroughfares typically don’t have the barriers used to protect institutions.

Exports of the fish jumped more than 53% by value to £408m, the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said.

UK food and drink exports rose 8.5% to £10.2bn, helped by the fall in the pound after last year's Brexit vote.

Whisky remained the top export, while salmon was second and beer rose to third after it overtook chocolate.

The pound has fallen sharply against the dollar and euro since the UK voted to leave the EU in June last year, giving a boost to UK exports as they have become relatively cheaper.

HANOI, Vietnam – Vietnam has been battling raging dengue fever outbreaks with more than 10,000 new infections reported over the past week stretching its medical system.

The number of admitted patients represents a 42-per cent increase over the same period last year along with seven more deaths, the Ministry of Health said Friday. A total of 90,626 people have been infected, of whom 76,848 are hospitalized and 24 have died.

The ministry attributed the rise of dengue outbreaks to higher temperature, more rains and rapid urbanization that promote the breeding of virus-carrying mosquitoes.

Dr. Vu Minh Dien of the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Hanoi, where the most severe cases were being treated, said that 800-1,000 people have been checking in daily complaining of fever. That compares to only several cases that reported to the hospital in June and July last year, he said.

On Tuesday, August 29, 2017, North Korea launched a ballistic missile over the country-island of Japan, which reached a distance of 2700km and a height of approximately 550km. There were no deaths or injuries, but this is an aggression against the sovereignty of Japan as North Korea is violating its sovereignty over its airspace, this poses a serious threat, not only against Japan or South Korea, but also against the military islands of the United States, it is not the first time North Korea demonstrates its strength with ballistic missiles, but this time they threatened the sovereignty of a country and demonstrated that the island of Guam is within its reach, they will continue to launch missiles until the UN withdraws the sanctions that it put to this country.

Guatemala political crisis may affect growth: central bank

# data[].attributes.body
Guatemalan economic growth may slow if a political crisis sparked by a dispute between President Jimmy Morales and the head of a U.N. anti-corruption body persists, the head of the central bank said on Thursday.

The Central American nation has been rattled by uncertainty since Morales on Sunday tried to eject Ivan Velasquez, head of Guatemala’s International Commission against Impunity (CICIG), in the face of resistance from Western powers.

The Friday before, Velasquez and the attorney general’s office requested Morales be stripped of presidential immunity so he could be investigated for suspected campaign finance irregularities during his successful 2015 tilt at the top job.

Morales, a former comedian, was elected on the back of popular discontent with his predecessor Otto Perez, who was toppled in 2015 over a multi-million dollar graft scandal uncovered by the CICIG and attorney general Thelma Aldana.

Saying the economy grew 4.1 percent in 2015, Recinos added that the Perez scandal did not immediately hit the economy.

“But in 2016 there was a slowdown (to 3.1 percent) and the (Perez) crisis must have had an effect,” he added.

The central bank now expects the Guatemalan economy to grow by between 3.0 and 3.4 percent this year.

North Korea: Does latest nuclear test mean war?

US Secretary of Defense James Mattis says any threat will be met with a "massive military response". President Donald Trump has previously promised "fire and fury".

One certainly hopes not. It is hard to imagine any conflict breaking out since the risk of escalation to all-out war would be very likely in these highly-charged times. The US is signalling strongly that the North Koreans should do nothing that might risk a conflict.

All-out war would be catastrophic in terms of lives lost. It might potentially involve the use of nuclear weapons - the first time since the closing stages of the Second World War - which could set a terrifying new precedent in international affairs.

At its close, after terrible destruction, North Korea would no longer exist. That is a given, hence the hope that the Pyongyang regime is rational and understands the risks involved.

While negotiations to update the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) continue there is more uncertainty about the deal than at any point in the last two decades. While Trump continues to vacillate between talking about the possibility of a smart recalibration of the treaty and threatening to end it, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has signalled his willingness to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the U.S. It makes sense for Canada to want to preserve the existing relationship it has with the U.S. Like Mexico Canada sends over three quarters of its exports to the U.S.

Mexican politicians, are already taking a much more hostile tone with Trump. If the NAFTA framework can’t be preserved it makes sense for Mexico to simply walk away from the negotiating table. While Canada can try and preserve its current trade relationship with the U.S. it makes more sense for Mexico to insist that if Trump is going to reject the NAFTA framework and pursue a one-on-one relationship with Mexico that those bilateral talks involve trade, security, organized crime, migration and the border wall all at the same time.

ISIS releases threat of attack on the 2018 World Cup in Russia

On Tuesday, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) released a photoshopped image of a jihadi fighter and a bomb carrying the organisation's black flag in front of Volgograd Arena, one of the venues for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Another threat against Russia was released last week, when ISIS published an image featuring photos of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump pasted to gun target practice sheets, accompanied by the words: "Lie in wait for them at every chance to ambush... the Levant is the graveyard of the Russians and Americans."

Recently, the jihadis have suffered severe territorial losses to military campaigns orchestrated by Moscow and Washington.

A UN official in Damascus told the BBC access to the area was the main priority while warning that some 300,000 people who had fled the city had "enormous" needs in nearby camps.

Aid workers have said it may take years before they can return to their homes.

A US-backed alliance of Syrian fighters says it has full control of the city.

Operations were under way to uncover jihadist sleeper cells and remove landmines from the last areas of Raqqa, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesman Mustefa Bali said.

The four-month assault against IS destroyed Raqqa's civilian infrastructure and homes, humanitarian agencies say.
