Brazil's presumptive president beset by risks

www.dailystar.com.lb

Michel Temer expects to become Brazil's full president if his rival Dilma Rousseff gets impeached this week. Center-right PMDB party leader Temer, 75, was leftist Rousseff's vice-president and stepped up to replace her during the impeachment process. Temer would then have to avoid Rousseff's fate of falling prey to internal political divisions. Temer is planning business-friendly economic reforms but Requiao said he is not as economically liberal on certain issues as some of his right-wing allies. Temer has vowed to cut spending and push through controversial labor and pension reforms. Senior figures in Temer's political camp, as well as Rousseff's, are implicated in a scandal over corruption in state oil firm Petrobras. Three of the ministers in Temer's interim government resigned after being implicated. ...

China Communist party expels 'insatiable' statistics chief

www.dailystar.com.lb

The "morally bankrupt" former head of China's statistics bureau, responsible for calculating the country's economic figures, has been expelled from the ruling Communist Party for actions including "superstitious activities" and "insatiably" trading power for sex, a watchdog said Friday. Wang is among the latest officials to fall to the much-publicized anti-corruption drive under General Secretary Xi Jinping, although critics say it can be used for internal faction-fighting, with its highest-profile victim the once hugely powerful security chief Zhou Yongkang, who was sentenced to life in prison. The party decided to expel Wang due to his "serious violations" of party discipline, it said, adding that his case would be sent to judicial authorities. ...

Tears flow as Daraya evacuation starts

www.dailystar.com.lb

Syrian rebels and civilians, many in tears, Friday began evacuating the town of Daraya after a four-year army siege, in a blow for the beleaguered opposition. The evacuation came after a deal struck by President Bashar Assad's government and opposition forces in the town, which is close to the capital Damascus and was one of the first to rise up against the regime. The deal to evacuate the town was announced Thursday by Syrian state news agency SANA, which said 700 rebels and their families would leave to rebel-controlled Idlib, and thousands of civilians would be taken to government reception centers. It was one of the first towns to erupt in anti-government protests in March 2011 . Rebels accused the government of killing some 500 people in a military operation in Daraya in August 2012 . ...

Comey: FBI wants 'adult conversation' on device encryption

www.dailystar.com.lb

FBI Director James Comey warned again Tuesday about the bureau's inability to access digital devices because of encryption and said investigators were collecting information about the challenge in preparation for an "adult conversation" next year. The Justice Department decided not to seek a legislative fix, and some of the public debate surrounding the FBI's legal fight with Apple Inc. has subsided in the last few months since federal authorities were able to access a locked phone in a terror case without the help of the tech giant. But Comey made clear that he expects to continue the dialogue. ...

The State Department says about 30 emails that may be related to the 2012 attack on U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, are among the thousands of Hillary Clinton emails recovered during the FBI's recently closed investigation into her use of a private server. The State Department has said the FBI provided it with about 14,900 emails purported not to have been among those previously released. The FBI interviewed Clinton for several hours at FBI headquarters in Washington just days before announcing its decision to close the investigation. The Justice Department accepted the FBI's recommendation. ...

FPM has limited retaliation options in Cabinet spat

www.dailystar.com.lb

The decision to go ahead with Thursday's Cabinet session, despite the Free Patriotic Movement's threat to boycott it, revealed a lack of hesitation by the party's political opponents. FPM ministers boycotted the Cabinet session due to a disagreement over military appointments and the extension of a senior military official's term. The FPM boycott comes in response to Defense Minister Samir Moqbel's decision to extend the term of Maj. Sources said that the party's attendance was not what FPM founder and presidential candidate MP Michel Aoun had hoped for. This was apparent in the visit paid to Berri by former President Michel Sleiman after the Cabinet session, which reflected Berri's intention to refute the claim that Christian representation is exclusive to the FPM. Parliamentary sources close to the FPM said the Cabinet's refusal to tackle major issues was a way to keep the door open to the FPM with an eye to a possible resolution. The FPM could resort to the State Shura Council to appeal the Cabinet's decisions. ...

Messi’s Argentina return in doubt, Aguero out injured

Lionel Messi's return to international duty with Argentina could be delayed by a groin injury his club side Barcelona stated Monday. Argentina have already suffered a double injury blow as Sergio Aguero and Javier Pastore pulled out of the squad Monday. Messi had announced his international retirement after Argentina lost in the Copa America Centenario final against Chile on penalties, Messi crucially missing his penalty in the shootout. It was the third time Messi's Argentina had lost a major final in three years after a 1-0 World Cup final defeat to Germany in 2014 and another penalty shootout reverse to Chile in the 2015 Copa America. ...

Cabinet to prevail despite boycott: Berri

www.dailystar.com.lb

Speaker Nabih Berri Saturday criticized the Free Patriotic Movement for boycotting the Cabinet and threatening its collapse. FPM head Gebran Bassil had said that the boycott was also meant to be a warning against extending the mandate of Army Chief Gen. Jean Kahwagi, which is due to end in September. But Berri told the daily that all political parties, including the FPM's March 8 ally Hezbollah, see extending Kahwagi's tenure as the only option. The speaker, who is also a March 8 leader, said that the FPM would not benefit in any way from its boycott. ...

Liverpool look to their Mane man at Spurs

www.dailystar.com.lb

Such is the impact Sadio Mane has made on Liverpool that the 24-year-old is an automatic pick to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League Saturday while experienced international teammates scrap it out to play alongside him. Juergen Klopp's side return to north London Saturday after the fit-again Mane inspired their 5-0 League Cup win over Burton Albion Tuesday. One particular moment of sorcery, when he jinked past a bewildered full-back to set up Divock Origi's opener, showed why he is inked into the team sheet. That charge could never be leveled against a Jose Mourinho side as the Portuguese manager takes Manchester United to Hull City with both teams having won their opening two games. Chelsea and Manchester City are the Premier League's other two unbeaten teams and both are well capable of extending their records at home to Burnley and West Ham United respectively. ...

Lava meets sea, puts on fire-spitting show

www.dailystar.com.lb

For the first time in three years, lava from a volcano on Hawaii's Big Island has crept down kilometers of mountainside and is dripping into the Pacific Ocean, where it's creating new land and putting on a crackling, hissing, fire-spitting show. Its Puu Oo vent began erupting in the 1980s and periodically pushes enough lava seaward that people can access it. Reaching the latest flow requires a boat, a helicopter or strong legs – the hike to the entry point, where the lava meets the sea, is 16-km round trip on a gravel road surrounded by kilometers of treacherous, hard lava rock. On Aug. 9, a second branch of lava started to spill into the sea, giving Turpin's passengers a look at two lava flows about 200 yards apart. The lava then quickly solidifies and creates a new landscape. Puu Oo's 1983 eruption resulted in lava fountains soaring over 457-meter high. ...

Supporters of Brazil's Rousseff insist she broke no laws

www.dailystar.com.lb

The final witnesses in the defense of suspended Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff testified late Saturday in her senate impeachment trial, days before a vote that could permanently remove her from power. Both testified that Rousseff -- suspended from office in May -- did not break the law or harm the economy, which is now in deep recession. "There is no basis to say that the president is criminally responsible," Barbosa said. He insisted that decrees that Rousseff issued at the time were fully constitutional. Lula rose from poverty to found the Workers' Party and become one of Brazil's most popular presidents ever before helping Rousseff take his place. ...

European experts float post-Brexit 'partnership' with Britain

www.dailystar.com.lb

A senior German lawmaker, an adviser to the French prime minister and a former deputy head of the Bank of England have proposed that a post-Brexit Britain form a new "continental partnership" with the EU. Some Brexit campaigners who argue that geography matters less in the digital economy and that Britain should not barter sovereignty for access to the EU's markets. The Bruegel authors suggest a Europe of two circles in which the EU core, bound more tightly than today around the euro – would consult with Britain and others like Norway, Switzerland and one day perhaps Turkey or Ukraine – giving outer members of such a Continental Partnership a voice but no veto on policy. ...

Bongo's fate in the balance as Gabon goes to the polls

www.dailystar.com.lb

Gabon voted Saturday in a presidential election pitting incumbent President Ali Bongo against a veteran politician riding on a promise to end a 50-year-old family dynasty. A spokesman for the main opposition candidate Jean Ping said he had more than 57 percent of the vote against less than 40 percent for Bongo, according to an incomplete early estimate by his team. However, Bongo's spokesman alleged that some of Ping's supporters in one district of the capital had prevented voters casting their ballots. Bongo, 57, came to power in a contested election in 2009, following the death of his father, Omar Bongo, who had been in power for 41 years. Until recently, Bongo was the clear favorite, with the opposition split and several prominent politicians vying for the top job. But earlier this month, the main challengers pulled out and said they would all back Ping. ...

Govt backs Chehayeb on landfill; protesters unconvinced

www.dailystar.com.lb

The Cabinet Thursday voiced its support for the state's waste management plan as activists rallied for an evening march to protest against the planned Burj Hammoud landfill. Earlier this month, Kataeb Party President Sami Gemayel and Chehayeb sparred verbally, with Gemayel accusing Chehayeb of corruption and mishandling of the waste management industry, and Chehayeb insisting Gemayel was only posturing in advance of parliamentary elections scheduled for next year. The Kataeb have been protesting outside the entrance to the landfill for almost two weeks, and have managed to halt construction work at the site. Gemayel previously called on people to stand with the Kataeb Party and end what he claimed would be a decade of environmental devastation for Burj Hammoud. ...

Chehayeb, accompanied by environmental experts, carried into the session an eight-page dossier that explains why the Cabinet adopted its plan in March.

According to the plan, the Burj Hammoud landfill will operate for four years and will receive 1,200 tons of waste per day. However, the Kataeb Party is opposed to the plan. ...

Hungarian PM Orban urges EU to build an army of its own

Hungary's prime minister urged the European Union on Friday to make security a priority and build an army of its own. Prime Minister Viktor Orban spoke in Warsaw before heading into talks on EU's future with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and leaders of three other central European nations. "We must give priority to security and so let's start setting up a joint European army," Orban said. He was seconded by Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, who said building a joint army will not be an "easy project" but added that the 28-nation EU needed better cooperation on defense issues and border protections. ...

Trump plans detailed immigration talk as questions remain

www.dailystar.com.lb

Donald Trump says he'll deliver a detailed speech on his proposal to crack down on illegal immigration Wednesday in Arizona -- but it's anyone's guess what he might say. The announcement came late Sunday in a tweet by the GOP presidential nominee after days of wavering -- and at least one canceled speech -- on a question central to his campaign: Whether he would, as he said in November, use a "deportation force" to eject the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally. Trump's tweet Sunday suggested he was poised to clear up those questions. Trump even questioned whether people born in the United States to people here illegally are citizens -- even though they have automatically been considered citizens since the adoption of the 14th Amendment in 1868 . Trump has focused lately on deporting people who are in the U.S. illegally and who have committed crimes. But who Trump considers a criminal remained unclear Sunday. Pence also did not answer whether the campaign believes, as Trump has said, that children born to people who are in the U.S. illegally are not U.S. citizens. ...

Activists march against landfill east of Beirut

Activists opposed to the government's waste management plan joined a protest on Thursday that was initiated by the Kataeb Party outside a landfill construction site east of Beirut. Around 35 protesters marched from Dora roundabout north of Beirut to the site of the planned Burj Hammoud landfill. Trash is currently being taken to storage lots in Costa Brava, south of Beirut, and to Burj Hammoud, where new landfills are slated to be built. However, Burj Hammoud municipality decided Wednesday to bar access to a temporary garbage storage lot near the landfill until work resumes at the site, fearing that a mountain of garbage would be created in the area. ...

Turkey opens new bridge between continents

www.dailystar.com.lb

Turkey opened one of the world's biggest suspension bridges Friday, creating a new link between two continents with the latest megaproject in a $200 billion building spree that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hopes will secure his place in history. It is 1.4 km long and 59 meters wide, with eight vehicle lanes and two high-speed rail lines. The Yavuz Sultan Selim, which runs from the Garipce area on Istanbul's European side to the region of Poyrazkoy on the Asian side, is the third bridge to span the Bosphorus Strait and can withstand winds of 300 km an hour. Officials say the bridge will ease congestion in a city of 14 million people, reduce fuel costs and save workers time. Each day, 650 new cars hit Istanbul's roads, Arslan said, making it the word's third-most congested city and increasing travel times by 50 percent, according to TomTom Traffic Index. The bridge is part of a network of 215 km of transit roads for freight to bypass Istanbul, Arslan said, reiterating a government pledge to protect the area from housing development. ...

Nigeria's Buhari says Boko Haram leader 'wounded'

www.dailystar.com.lb

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said Sunday that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is "wounded", in his first comments on military claims that the extremist leader was injured in an attack. Nigeria's armed forces said Tuesday that Shekau had been wounded in an air strike on Boko Haram's forest stronghold, but released no further statement or evidence confirming his condition. Turning to another major security concern in Nigeria, Buhari threatened militants sabotaging oil infrastructure in the southern swamplands of the Niger delta. The country's petroleum minister has said that as a result of the ongoing attacks Nigeria's oil output has dropped 23 per cent from last year to 1.5 million barrels per day, according to Bloomberg News. ...

Rakitic header edges Barca past Athletic Bilbao

www.dailystar.com.lb

Ivan Rakitic's first-half header maintained Barcelona's 100 percent start to the La Liga season as the champions withstood a wave of late pressure to win 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao Sunday. Rakitic finished off an excellent team move after 20 minutes, but with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez uncharacteristically wayward in front of goal, Athletic nearly grabbed a point when Benat Etxebarria's free-kick flew just wide late on. The return of Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal in place of Claudio Bravo to Manchester City was Barca coach Luis Enrique's only change from the 6-2 thrashing of Real Betis. Alaves remain unbeaten after a 0-0 draw with Sporting Gijon. ...

‘Best yet’ Murray poised to pounce at U.S. Open

www.dailystar.com.lb

Andy Murray admits he's playing his best ever tennis as he looks to capitalize on the growing frailties of his rivals and capture a second U.S. Open title. Since losing the French Open final to Novak Djokovic in June, Murray has won Queen's Club, a second Wimbledon title and successfully defended his Olympic crown in Rio. Murray has played in all of the first three finals of the majors in 2016, losing to world No. 1 Djokovic in Melbourne and Paris before defeating Milos Raonic in straight sets in the Wimbledon final. Outside of the top two, five-time champion Roger Federer, who has played every U.S. Open since 2000, called time on his season after a five-set semifinal defeat to Raonic at Wimbledon. Fellow old-stager Rafael Nadal, the 2010 and 2013 U.S. Open champion, won gold in doubles at the Rio Olympics but lost the singles bronze medal playoff to Kei Nishikori. ...

Millions at risk from rising water pollution: UN

www.dailystar.com.lb

Increasingly polluted rivers in Africa, Asia and Latin America pose a disease risk to more than 300 million people and threaten fisheries and farming in many countries, a UN report warned Tuesday. The agency estimated that 164 million people were at risk of water-borne diseases in Africa, 134 million in Asia and 25 million in Latin America. In some countries, up to 90 percent of the population relies on rivers and lakes for drinking water, said the report. Polluted water must be treated before entering rivers or lakes, wastewater recycled for irrigation, and wetlands restored to remove pollution from runoff water. ...

Don’t Breathe is a well-plotted, thrilling trap

www.dailystar.com.lb

The address is a home in a run-down section of town, so there's nobody around. The house is kind of moldering. Yes, the owner is an old blind man living alone who apparently has a fortune stashed somewhere. It pits a team of inept burglars against a homeowner who fights back. It's kind of like a twisted "Home Alone" for millennials. This isn't a gore-fest or a flick that relies on the supernatural. It's more a thriller wedded to a horror film. The plot gets sort of ludicrous by the end – right around the time Lang gets to start talking – but there were moments at a recent preview where a pin could drop and make more noise than one of the poor burglars trying to do what the movie title demands. ...

Afghanistan launches polio drive in former ISIS areas

www.dailystar.com.lb

Afghanistan launched a polio vaccination campaign Monday aimed at reaching children in areas previously controlled by ISIS militants, officials said. Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only two countries in the world where polio remains endemic -- a fact blamed on opposition to immunization by Islamist groups, who claim the vaccines are a conspiracy to sterilize Muslims or a cover for spying. The latest five-day drive will look to reach about 9.5 million children nationwide, the health ministry's Sardar Parwiz told AFP, with officials hoping to take advantage of reduced fighting in the east following successes from U.S.-backed military operations. Afghanistan registered eight polio cases, mostly in the eastern part of the country in the first half of the year, according to ministry of health. ...

Cyprus, Egypt sign gas export pipeline deal

www.dailystar.com.lb

Cyprus and Egypt signed a deal Wednesday paving the way for detailed negotiations on a submarine pipeline to export natural gas from the Mediterranean island to its energy-starved neighbour. Cyprus has been eager to secure alternative ways to exploit its offshore reserves after proven finds so far were insufficient to make a planned liquefied natural gas plant on the island's south coast financially viable. Cyprus Energy Minister Georgios Lakkotrypis, and Egypt's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla signed the agreement clearing the way for further negotiations on construction of the pipeline from offshore fields in Cyprus's exclusive economic zone to Egypt, where the gas will be used either for domestic consumption or re-export. The blocks up for grabs are close to where Italy's ENI made a huge find in Egypt's offshore Zohr field that could hold 850 billion cubic meters (30 trillion cubic feet) of gas. The field sits adjacent to a Cyprus block licensed to France's Total. ...

Australia's Turnbull faces tough parliament after election setback

www.dailystar.com.lb

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull faces a tooth and nail fight with an emboldened opposition and slew of independent lawmakers when parliament returns Tuesday for the first time since elections last month in which he took a beating. The election backfired, leaving the ruling Liberal-National coalition with a one-vote majority in the lower house and dependent on either the opposition Labor Party or eight to 10 independents or minor party Senators to pass legislation. Turnbull enjoyed record-high approval ratings after ousting Tony Abbott in a party-room coup in 2014 . Since then, his numbers have sagged as the government failed to chalk up legislative victories. Nationals Party Senator John Williams, who is threatening to break with the government to support a Royal Commission into the financial services sector opposed by Turnbull, acknowledged they were facing an uphill battle. ...

Mosul fight is already redrawing the map of northern Iraq

www.dailystar.com.lb

The moves are further straining relations between the Kurds and the Baghdad government and Shiite militias, all ostensibly allies in the fight against ISIS. The new de facto borders established by the Kurdish fighters, known as peshmerga, raise the potential for conflict between Iraq's Kurds and Arabs after any eventual defeat of ISIS – just as in neighboring Syria, where Kurds have also dramatically expanded their zone of control. Ostensibly, the move was to protect the city from ISIS, but Kurdish President Massoud Barzani quickly said the Kurds would keep it. Both the peshmerga and the Shiite Arab militias have steadily grown more powerful as the United States and Iran have funneled weapons, training and money into Iraq to back the fight against ISIS. Some 230 kilometers (140 miles) southeast of Mosul, deadly clashes broke out in April between Kurdish fighters and Shiite militias in the town of Tuz Khormato, home to Kurds, Sunni Arabs and Shiite Turkmens. Shiite fighters accuse the Kurdish forces of destroying homes belonging to the town's Turkmen residents. Kurdish forces in turn accuse the Shiite fighters of arbitrarily detaining Sunni Arab residents. ...

Well-known Lebanese vocalist and songwriter Samir Yazbek has passed away after losing a battle with illness. Yazbek was admitted to Sacre Coeur Hospital several weeks ago, where he died early Monday, local media reported, after a battle with throat cancer that had drawn on for more than two years.

Yazbek left Lebanon for Damascus at the start of the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War. ...

Philippines' Duterte to workers returning from Saudi: Don't do drugs

www.dailystar.com.lb

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, heavily criticized for a brutal anti-narcotics drive in which hundreds have been killed, Wednesday welcomed home more than 100 Filipinos abandoned in desert camps in Saudi Arabia with a warning -- don't do drugs. The number of drug-related killings in the Philippines has reached 2,000 since Duterte became president two months ago on a pledge to wipe out the drug trade. The Philippines' economy grew at 7 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, its highest level in three years. ...

Libyan forces corner ISIS fighters in Sirte

www.dailystar.com.lb

Libya's pro-government forces Monday cornered ISIS in their last holdouts in the coastal city of Sirte, after heavy fighting that left dozens of dead and wounded. The battle for ISIS' North African stronghold was launched more than three months ago by forces loyal to the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA). Pro-GNA forces Monday said they had encircled the extremists in less than two square kilometers (0.7 square mile) of Sirte, after staging an assault the previous day on its last two ISIS-held districts. More than 370 loyalist fighters have been killed and nearly 2,000 wounded in the battle for Sirte since May, according to medical sources. As of Aug. 24, U.S. warplanes had carried out 82 strikes, according to the U.S. Africa Command. Analysts say ousting ISIS from Libya would be a symbolic boost for the country's fragile unity government, but unrest might continue as ISIS could carry out more scattered attacks across Libya. ...

Dividing the Syria cake

www.dailystar.com.lb

The saga of Daraya is one with so many twists and turns that it qualifies for a history book on the subject alone. Because for four years Daraya has confronted the most lethal bombardment from land and air, facing down the most sophisticated weaponry the regime and its Russian ally could throw at it. In fact, the people of Daraya were not defeated. So what may be trumpeted as a humanitarian evacuation is in fact part of a policy of demographic change that will only drive another nail into Syria's unity and cohesion. ...

UN sees surge in Israeli settlements after Quartet report

www.dailystar.com.lb

Israeli settlement expansion has surged in the two months since the diplomatic Quartet called for a halt to the construction of Jewish outposts on Palestinian land, the U.N. envoy said Monday. In a much-awaited report, the Quartet – the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations – urged Israel to stop building settlements and called on the Palestinians to cease incitement to violence. Since July 1, Israeli has advanced plans for over 1,000 housing units in occupied east Jerusalem and 735 units in the West Bank, Mladenov said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is also seeking tenders for 323 units to expand east Jerusalem settlements and for 42 units in Kiryat Arba near Hebron, for which it is allocating $13 million in new funding. ...

Brewer AB Inbev to cut thousands of jobs in takeover deal

www.dailystar.com.lb

The world's largest brewer, AB Inbev, expects to cut about 3 percent of its total workforce – equivalent to thousands of jobs – once it completes its huge takeover of its closest rival, SABMiller. The company headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, has about 150,000 workers while the London-based SABMiller claims to have around 70,000 . Part of the logic of the 79 billion pound ($104 billion) deal to buy SABMiller is to add new brands in countries it is not currently present in, particularly in fast-growing markets in Africa. ...

EU to hand Apple hefty Irish tax bill: sources

www.dailystar.com.lb

The European Commission will rule against Ireland's tax dealings with Apple on Tuesday, sources familiar with the decision told Reuters, one of whom said Dublin would be told to recoup over 1 billion euros in back taxes. A bill in excess of 1 billion euros ($1.12 billion) would be far more than the 30 million euros each the European Commission previously ordered Dutch authorities to recover from U.S. coffee chain Starbucks and Luxembourg from Fiat Chrysler for their tax deals. When it opened the Apple investigation in 2014, the Commission told the Irish government that tax rulings it agreed in 1991 and 2007 with the iPhone maker amounted to state aid and might have broken EU laws. The Commission said it treated all companies equally. ...

Spanish publisher clones ‘Voynich Manuscript’

www.dailystar.com.lb

BURGOS, Spain: It's one of the world's most mysterious books: a centuries-old manuscript written in an unknown or coded language that no cryptographer has ever cracked. After a ten-year quest for access, Siloe, a small publishing house based in northern Spain, has secured the right to make a series of facsimiles of the document. Siloe, which specializes in making facsimiles of old manuscripts, has bought the rights to make 898 exact replicas of the Voynich – which will be so faithful that every stain, hole and sewn-up tear in the parchment will be reproduced. The publisher's chosen print runs are palindromes – figures that read the same backward and forward – since the success of its first facsimile, of which it printed 696 copies. The publishing house plans to sell the facsimiles for 7,000 to 8,000 euros ($7,800 to $8,900) apiece once completed – and close to 300 people have already put in pre-orders. Slightly bigger than a paperback, the book contains over 200 pages including several large foldouts. ...

Australian burkini designer profits from French ban

Last month, a Tunisian killed 85 people when he drove a truck into crowds in Nice and a Roman Catholic priest had his throat cut in church by two French Muslims. Zanetti, who has lived in Australia for more than 40 years since moving from Lebanon, designed the burkini in 2004 after struggling to find sporting garments suitable for Muslim women. ...

Hillbilly Elegy traces America’s downcast

www.dailystar.com.lb

For pundits and politicos baffled by the appeal of a wealthy New York businessman to the struggling white working class in Appalachia and Rust Belt mill towns, J.D. Vance's book "Hillbilly Elegy" may offer a few insights. It's a vivid, deeply personal tour of the stark world in which he grew up, set mainly in this southwestern Ohio city hit hard by the decline of its dominant steelmaking company, but also in his familial eastern Kentucky hills region. They are places where, for many, the American Dream long ago faded into despair. Vance has a colorful family. In a telephone interview, excerpted here, Vance was asked why he decided to pen a memoir at the age of 31 . Vance's work describes the perception that neighbors shirk work and manipulate the country's social welfare system. Vance attributes Donald Trump's surprising popularity in the rust belt to his ability to speak to peoples' anxieties. ...

Turkish permission for German lawmakers to visit the Incirlik air base will depend on the German government distancing itself from a resolution branding a 1915 massacre of Armenians as "genocide", Turkey's foreign minister said Monday. Turkey, angered by a resolution passed by the German parliament in June that described the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman forces as a "genocide", has denied German lawmakers access to the base near the Syrian frontier. Roth said he was received warmly and openly in Turkey during a visit aimed at rebuilding German-Turkish ties. ...

Bolivian miners lifted the roadblock where violent protests had taken place this week, a day after a government deputy minister was beaten to death, with President Evo Morales calling Friday a day of "deep pain" for the country. Deputy Interior Minister Rodolfo Illanes, 56, was killed on Thursday after being taken hostage by workers who had blocked a major highway in Panduro, around 160 km (100 miles) from capital city La Paz. The Panduro protest turned violent this week after a highway was blockaded. Most of the country's miners, including those involved in the protests, work in cooperatives. ...

Lebanese Cabinet holds meeting without FPM

www.dailystar.com.lb

Lebanese ministers discussed several issues during a Cabinet meeting at the Grand Serail on Thursday, defying a boycott by the Free Patriotic Movement over the extension of senior military posts. The next session will take place September 8, in the hope that all ministers will be present at the Cabinet meeting, Joreige added. Ministers belonging to the FPM, namely Education Minister Elias Bou Saab and Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil were absent from the session, along with ministers from the Tashnag and Kataeb parties. Energy Minister Arthur Nazarian, from the Tashnag Party, was the only other minister to boycott the meeting in support of Bassil and Bou Saab.

Aubameyang nets twice as Dortmund win opener

www.dailystar.com.lb

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has resumed his duel with Robert Lewandowski to be the Bundesliga's top scorer by netting twice in Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win over Mainz on the opening weekend of the new season. Aubameyang scored 25 German league goals last season, finishing second to Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski's 30 in the scorers' charts, and the duo look set to lead the way again in 2016-17 . Aubameyang was unmarked at the far post to head in the opener from a cross from the left by Germany winger Andre Schuerrle. He then doubled his tally on 89 minutes when Schuerrle was brought down in the area and the Gabon star converted the resulting penalty, before Muto set up a nervous ending with a header in the 92nd minute. Wolves took the lead when Dutch striker Bas Dost fired across the face of goal and new signing Daniel Didavi lashed home a shot from the edge of the area on 35 minutes. ...

The Kurdish-led administration in northern Syria said Turkish tanks had advanced on the village, where they clashed with the Jarablus Military Council, an ally of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance that is in turn backed by the powerful Kurdish YPG militia. ...

Zoomaal lends a hand to other startups

www.dailystar.com.lb

They would mainly look for a regular job opportunity or they would run a family business if they were lucky enough to avoid the challenges of finding employment in an oversaturated market.But lately, the circulars issued by the Central Bank of Lebanon encouraging banks to finance startups and the various venture capital funds that emerged throughout the region to support entrepreneurship have encouraged young people to follow their dreams by turning their business ideas into reality rather than settle for a routine job. In some cases, startups themselves found ways to help their peers in getting the needed funds for their projects. Absi elaborated that Zoomaal does some quality assurance for every single project. He explained that once a project is successfully funded, Zoomaal gets only a 5 percent fee from the fund amount while the 95 percent goes to the client. He added that Zoomaal is totally safe because if a project does not get the needed amount of fund within a specific time limit, the money will go back to investors. Zoomaal was founded in 2012 with $400,000 but the website went live in 2013 and the company has shareholders who get shares in return for their investment. Today, the platform receives around 1,000 projects every month but they do not all go online. ...

Russia questions report blaming Syria government for gas attacks

www.dailystar.com.lb

Russia Tuesday questioned the findings of a U.N.-led investigation that blamed the Syrian government for chemical attacks, saying they were not conclusive enough to trigger sanctions. Britain and France called for UN sanctions after the investigative panel found that President Bashar Assad's forces had carried out at least two chemical attacks, one in 2014 and one in 2015 . Following a closed-door Security Council meeting to discuss the report, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said he had "very serious questions" about the findings and suggested the panel should continue its work. Churkin, however, made clear he was unconvinced by the JIM report. Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari rejected the findings, saying the panel lacked "physical evidence" to support its conclusions that chlorine barrel-bombs were dropped on civilians. ...

Lewandowski hat-trick as Bayern rout Bremen in opener

www.dailystar.com.lb

Robert Lewandowski claimed a hat-trick as defending champions Bayern Munich brushed Werder Bremen aside with a 6-0 win in Friday's opening match of the new German league season. Lewandowski, the Bundesliga's top-scorer last season with 30 goals, could have finished with five as Bayern ran riot. After Xabi Alonso scored the first goal of the 2016/17 campaign at Munich's Allianz Arena, Lewandowski netted either side of the break before captain Philipp Lahm added a fourth. Mueller's curling cross was met at the far post by Lewandowski for his second on 46 minutes. Rafinha came on for Lahm and when the Brazil defender was fouled in the area, Lewandowski drilled home the resulting penalty on 77 minutes. ...

A year after height of migrant crisis, Merkel's party dips in poll

www.dailystar.com.lb

Support for Angela Merkel's conservatives has slipped as more voters turn to the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD), a poll showed Wednesday, a year after the chancellor prompted criticism by saying Germany would cope with the migrant crisis. A Forsa poll showed support for her conservatives, still the biggest group, had fallen to 33 percent, down two points from last week and eight points from a year ago. The Forsa poll showed support for all other parties was unchanged with the Social Democrats (SPD), who share power with Merkel's conservatives on 22 percent. ...

Decades on, no light at end of dark elecricity tunnel

www.dailystar.com.lb

The Lebanese are destined to endure constant power outages and erratic electricity supplies despite the endless promises of successive energy ministers to boost production by building more plants. The state-owned Electricite du Liban quickly blames the electricity cuts and deteriorating services on insufficient power plants that should in principle meet the consumption needs of the country. Former Energy and Water Minister Gebran Bassil awarded contracts to three service providers to carry out maintenance work and collect electricity bills. A former official at EDL was not surprised by the poor state of electricity in Lebanon. There are many reasons behind the deterioration of services such as poor management at EDL, lack of transparency, failure to appoint a regulatory authority to supervise the rehabilitation of the energy sector and the inability of all the successive governments to build modern plants that run on gas," Chafic Abi Said told the paper. He stressed that electricity theft and technical problems represent around 30 percent of the losses at Electricite du Liban. ...
