| Hillary Clinton to give private email server to U.S. Justice Department | |  By Jonathan Allen NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is giving the U.S. Justice Department her private email server and a thumb drive of work-related emails from her tenure as secretary of state, a spokesman for her campaign said on Tuesday. Clinton's use of her private email for her work as America's top diplomat came to light in March and drew fire from political opponents who accused her of sidestepping transparency and record-keeping laws.

| South Korean sets himself on fire in anti-Japan "comfort women" protest | | | A South Korean man in his eighties set himself on fire on Wednesday during a protest calling for Japan to apologise for forcing Korean women to work in military brothels during World War Two, days ahead of the anniversary of the end of hostilities. The self-immolation came during a regular weekly demonstration outside the Japanese embassy ahead of the Aug. 15 anniversary marking 70 years since the end of Japan's colonial occupation of the Korean peninsula. With the anniversary looming, the protest was larger than normal, with about 2,000 demonstrators, including three of the 47 known surviving Korean "comfort women", as they were euphemistically called by Japan, organisers said. |

| Dog killed in Florida found with note: 'WE BEAT IT 2 Death lol! :) HAHAHA!' | | | (Reuters) - A 13-year-old dog was found beaten to death at a home in the Miami area with a handwritten note taped to it that read: "WE BEAT IT 2 Death lol! :) HAHAHA!," police said on Tuesday. The Pomeranian was found at the back of a home in the small southeast Florida city of Pembroke Pines, police said in a statement. Although officers saw no visible injuries on the dog, the police statement said, a veterinarian at the Saint Francis Animal Hospital determined the canine suffered multiple bone fractures "consistent with blunt force trauma." The Pembroke Pines Police Department said the dog-beating appeared to be an isolated incident and there was no evidence to suggest other animals in the area were in danger. |

Chung, a former FIFA vice president and fierce critic of outgoing president Sepp Blatter, told Reuters last month that he would enter the race and that he would make the announcement in Europe, what he called "the centre of world football". "Paris has been chosen as the venue for the announcement as it is the birthplace of FIFA and the campaign is focused on reviving the original spirit of football's governing body," Chung's office told Reuters on Wednesday.
