|  By Louis Charbonneau UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations Security Council agreed on Wednesday to add just over 2,500 peacekeepers to the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali, which has been hit by a series of deadly attacks and has become the deadliest place to serve for U.N. peacekeepers.

| | By Neil Jerome Morales and Manuel Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - There will be no fancy 'vin d'honneur' at Rodrigo Duterte's inauguration as president of the Philippines on Thursday, just simple fare at a low-key event.

Andanar said that instead of being driven around in the president's limousine, a bullet-proof Mercedes, Duterte wants to travel in a pick-up truck. |
| China risks 'outlaw' status if it rejects South China Sea ruling - lawyer | | Thursday, June 30, 2016 2:46 AM | |
| | By David Brunnstrom and Matt Spetalnick WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An international ruling next month is expected to deprive China of any legal basis for its claim to most of the South China Sea, and Beijing risks being seen as an "outlaw state" unless it respects the outcome, the Philippines' chief lawyer in the case said on Wednesday. In an interview with Reuters, veteran Washington attorney Paul Reichler expressed confidence that the Permanent Court of Arbitration, based in The Hague, would rule in Manila's favour on July 12 in a highly charged case against Beijing, which rejects the tribunal's jurisdiction and says it will ignore the ruling. The Philippines, a close U.S. ally, is contesting China's historical claim to about 90 percent of the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. |

| | By Sanjeev Miglani DHAKA (Reuters) - Early in June, a man walked into the Dhaka premises of the Ramakrishna Mission, a Hindu centre for spirituality and learning in the Bangladesh capital, and delivered a handwritten note warning of an attack by Islamic State. "We are monks, we will live and die here, but people with families are worried," Swami Shivananda, a priest managing the administration of the mission, said of the country's Hindu community, which accounts for 10 percent of the population. Islamic State and al Qaeda have claimed responsibility for the killings of more than 30 people since early last year, in an escalation of militant violence targeting liberals, atheists, foreigners, gays and religious minorities. |
