      Legal challenges mount for Trump’s travel ban from 7 Muslim countries

      Civil liberties groups are challenging Donald Trump’s executive order barring all immigration from seven majority-Muslim nations for 120 days, which the president signed Friday evening. On Saturday morning, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that legal permanent residents of the United States with green cards are included in the ban, and will not be allowed to reenter the country. As officials raced to understand the new executive order, U.S. green card holders from Iran and the six other countries were reportedly kicked off flights, sent back to their country of origin or detained at airports.

      Gunman kills lawyer for Myanmar's ruling party at airport

      A gunman killed a legal adviser for Myanmar's ruling National League for Democracy on Sunday, shooting the lawyer in the head at close range as he walked out of the Yangon airport, the government said. The gunman was arrested after he killed Ko Ni, a prominent member of Myanmar's Muslim minority, and wounded a taxi driver who tried to stop him from fleeing, the Ministry of Information said in a video posted on state-run MRTV. Ko Ni was the Supreme Court advocate for the NLD and a longstanding legal adviser to the country's leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

      Iraq to oppose U.S. travel curbs, keen to work together against Islamic State

      By Maher Chmaytelli, Isabel Coles and Ahmed Rasheed BAGHDAD/MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraq will lobby against new travel limits to the United States by Iraqis, arguing both countries need to uphold their fight against Islamic State (IS), Iraqi parliamentarians said on Sunday. The Iraqi government has so far declined comment on an executive order signed by new U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday that suspends the entry of travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 90 days. The order stirred angry reactions in Iraq, where more than 5,000 U.S. troops are deployed to help Iraqi and regional Kurdish forces in the war against IS insurgents.

      Former neighbor recalls suspected killer as grieving widower

      Bob Evans sat at a picnic table outside friend Katherine Decker's motorhome in 1986, sobbing that his wife had died when his then-5-year-old daughter, Lisa, was just a baby. Three decades later, authorities say only one part of his story was true: The girl's mother was dead. On Thursday, authorities linked him to five earlier killings — the mother of the girl he called Lisa, and a woman and three children whose bodies were found in barrels in New Hampshire.

      Elon Musk Says ‘We Start Digging The Tunnel Tonight’

      Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk gave the world the concept of Hyperloop — a superfast ground-based mass transit system — in 2013, but none of his companies have done anything to take it forward, leaving it instead for others to do so. Various teams, made up of university students and independent engineers, have been at the competition venue for some days already. The SpaceX and Tesla Motors CEO had on Wednesday tweeted his seriousness to start digging tunnels to ease traffic congestion in urban areas, and had earlier referred to a potential business as “The Boring Company.” But in his tweets Wednesday, he said the plan to start digging would take off in about a month.

      Embryo photographer Lennart Nilsson dies at 94

      Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson, who shot to fame in the 1960s with photographs of human foetuses and embryos, died on Saturday at the age of 94, his family told TT news agency. A war photographer, documentary-maker and portraitist, Nilsson used an ultra-fine tube called an endoscope, to take pictures of cells and blood vessels, and went on to take images of human foetuses and embryos. Only later did it become widely known that many of the embryos used in the photo-essay were not alive, as many readers had thought, but had been aborted.

Noting that both he and his wife are the product of immigrants, Zuckerberg offered up a heartfelt explanation as to why being accepting of immigrants and refugees is so important. “Like many of you, I’m concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump,” Zuckerberg said on Friday.

Barrow faces an uphill task after taking over from Jammeh, who left behind a dysfunctional economy and allegedly emptied state coffers ahead of his departure. Rights group blame the notorious National Intelligence Agency (NIA) under his longtime control for forced disappearances and torture.

      Somalia's al Shabaab says kills dozens of Kenyan troops in raid on base

      By Abdi Sheikh and Feisal Omar MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Al Shabaab said its fighters killed dozens of Kenyan troops when the Islamist group attacked a remote military base in Somalia on Friday, while Kenya's army said nine soldiers died and 70 militants were killed. Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Paul Njuguna said that al Shabaab's fighters had attempted to attack their base in the southern town of Kulbiyow, near the Kenyan border, but were repulsed. A spokesman for al Shabaab, which often launches attacks on troops of the African Union's AMISOM force, said its fighters killed at least 66 Kenyans at the base.

      The Knights of Malta-Vatican feud: a tale of chivalry and sovereignty

      By Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - On the afternoon of Jan. 24, a black BMW pulled out of a 16th century palace in Rome, crossed the Tiber River and headed for the Vatican, a short trip to end a brazen challenge to the authority of Pope Francis. Inside the car was 67-year-old Englishman Matthew Festing, the head of an ancient Catholic order of knights which is now a worldwide charity with a unique diplomatic status. Festing was about to resign, the first leader in several centuries of the Order of Malta, which was founded in 1048 to provide medical aid for pilgrims in the Holy Land, to step down instead of ruling for life.

For a segment so typically horsepower obsessed, braggadocio about the number of driven wheels is refreshingly offbeat. The Challenger shares its platform with the Charger sedan, which has long offered an all-wheel-drive option.

      'Crypt-Keeper Wasp' Turns Its Host into a Self-Sacrificing Zombie

      The amber-colored victims are known as "crypt gall wasps" (Bassettia pallida). This is because the wasps are being manipulated by another crypt-residing wasp that capitalizes on the gall wasps’ ability to chew a hole for its own exit. When the crypt-keeper wasp had to get through the extra bark, it was three times more likely to get trapped in the crypt and die than a wasp that had to get through only the head and no bark, said lead study author Kelly Weinersmith, a parasitologist at Rice University in Houston.

      Trump, Mexican leader speak to mend rift over wall

      Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and US President Donald Trump sought to tone down diplomatic tensions over the Republican's planned border wall, agreeing to seek a resolution to the thorny dispute. One day after the spat boiled over, with Pena Nieto cancelling a trip to Washington next week in response to Trump's insistence that Mexico pay for the barrier, the two leaders held an hour-long phone conversation. The discussion capped a week that saw relations between the neighboring nations plunge into the biggest diplomatic crisis in decades as Pena Nieto vowed that Mexico will never pay for the border barrier.

      New jail term for firebrand Egyptian Islamist

      An Islamist former presidential hopeful in Egypt was sentenced to five years in prison on Sunday for inciting his supporters to "besiege" a Cairo court in December 2012. Supporters of Hazem Salah Abu Ismail used force, violence and threats against prosecutors to try to force them to order the release of a defendant, according to the indictment. Five other defendants received the same jail terms, while another 13 were sentenced to 10 years in prison in absentia, the judge said in a televised verdict.

      Syrian military says recaptures valley near Damascus

      Syrian government forces have recaptured all towns and villages in the Wadi Barada valley near Damascus, the Syrian military said on Sunday, in another blow to rebels who have fought for years to unseat President Bashar al-Assad. Fighting and damage to the site caused acute water shortages in Damascus this month. The recapture of Wadi Barada signals the fall of another rebel-held area in western Syria, and comes weeks after insurgents were driven from areas they controlled in Aleppo, their last major urban stronghold.

      Five Indian soldiers were rescued several hours after being trapped in snow that caved in on them as they patrolled Saturday along the highly militarized Line of Control that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Rescuers dug for the soldiers despite continuous snowfall and rescued all of them, Indian army spokesman Col. Rajesh Kalia said. The soldiers were on a routine patrol when the track they were on caved in around them in the Machil sector of the Himalayan region under India's control.

      New lawsuit against Baylor alleges 52 rapes in 4 years

      A former Baylor University student who says she was raped by two football players filed a federal lawsuit Friday against the school that alleges there were dozens more assaults of women involving other players. The lawsuit by the student, who is listed in the documents only as "Elizabeth Doe," alleges at least 52 rapes by more than 30 football players over a four-year period. Fifty-two assaults would dramatically increase the 17 reports of sexual and physical attacks involving 19 players since 2011 previously acknowledged by Baylor officials.
