| Egyptian court sentences Brotherhood leader Badie to life in prison |
|
 An Egyptian court sentenced Mohamed Badie, general guide of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, and seven others to life in prison on Saturday for inciting violence during protests last year, judicial sources said. Badie had already been sentenced to death and received a life sentence in other cases, part of Cairo's toughest crackdown - widely criticised by human rights groups - on the country's oldest and most organised Islamist movement. The judge, Mohamed Nagi Shehata, also sentenced six other defendants to death in absentia. Badie was charged with killing at least nine people and inciting violence that injured 21 others in clashes near a mosque in Giza in 2013.

|
 By Devidutta Tripathy MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed charges against a former minister, his media mogul brother, and a Malaysian tycoon over alleged corruption to help Malaysia's Maxis group take control of an Indian mobile phone carrier eight years ago. Tamil Nadu politician Dayanidhi Maran, who was India's telecommunications minister between 2004 and 2007; Malaysia's second-richest man T. Ananda Krishnan and his aide Augustus Ralph Marshall, are among those named in the charge sheet filed in a New Delhi court on Friday, a police spokeswoman said. The case is separate from a massive scandal that Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) said had lost the government about $29 billion during a 2008 telecoms permits sale process.

| China warns foreign powers not to use Hong Kong as a "bridgehead" |
|
 By Sui-Lee Wee BEIJING (Reuters) - China has warned against any foreign interference ahead of a crucial ruling on the city's political future on Sunday, saying Beijing will not tolerate the use of Hong Kong "as a bridgehead to subvert and infiltrate the mainland". China's largely rubber-stamp parliament is set to meet on Sunday, when it is expected to limit 2017 elections for Hong Kong's leader to a handful of pro-Beijing candidates, a move likely to escalate plans by pro-democracy activists to blockade the city's Central business district. According to state media, an unidentified spokesman from the Chinese foreign ministry's Department of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Affairs said China would promptly "make solemn representations" to any "external force" that interfered in Hong Kong's internal affairs. Hong Kong is a special administrative region (SAR) of China, administered by what is known as the Basic Law.
