| Golf and gluttony are gone as China tightens rules against graft | | | China's ruling Communist Party has listed golf and gluttony as violations for the first time as it tightens its rules to prevent officials from engaging in corrupt practices, while also turning an even sterner eye on sexual impropriety. Chinese President Xi Jinping has launched a sweeping crackdown on deep-rooted graft since taking over the party's leadership in late 2012 and the presidency in 2013. The new rules are an update of existing regulations and are designed to better codify exactly what constitutes a violation of discipline, the official Xinhua news agency reported late on Wednesday. |
| Erdogan seen with little choice but to share power after Turkish vote | |  By Orhan Coskun and Nick Tattersall ANKARA/ISTANBUL (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan's tactics for Turkey's second general election in five months might have changed, but the outcome looks likely to be the same: for the first time in its history, his ruling AK Party may have to share power. Opinion polls suggest the Islamist-rooted AKP, which had dominated Turkish politics for 13 years until losing its parliament majority in June, will again fail to secure enough votes to govern alone at a Nov. 1 election. The AKP was unable to find a junior coalition partner in more than a month of talks after the first vote, prompting Erdogan to call a snap re-run in the hope it would finally deliver the result he wants - a return to single-party AK rule.

| Nauru police raid aid group over Australian detention centre leaks | | | By Matt Siegel SYDNEY (Reuters) - Police on the Pacific island nation of Nauru, which is under scrutiny over conditions and reports of child abuse at an Australian immigration detention centre it hosts, on Thursday raided the offices of aid group Save the Children, the group said. It is the second raid in recent days on the Nauru offices of the group, which has not had its contract at the centre renewed after sparring with the Australian government over conditions at the camp. Asylum seekers are a hot political issue in Australia and successive governments have vowed to stop them reaching the mainland on rickety boats, sending those intercepted to camps on Manus island in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. |
