Istanbul, 1 set. (askanews) - Allo stesso modo l'Iran, sullo stesso asse pro-Assad con la Russia, avrebbe chiesto alla Turchia di sospendere "rapidamente" le operazioni militari in Siria per non complicare ulteriormente la situazione nella regione. Un cambio di posizione è giunto anche dal regime di al-Assad, che inizialmente aveva espresso la necessità per la Turchia "di coordinare l'operazione con Damasco", per poi accusarla di "commettere un crimine contro l'umanità" in una lettera indirizzata alle Nazioni Unite.

Mexico president blasts Trump's policies as "huge threat" after meeting
5:14:08 AM

U.S. presidential nominee Trump and Mexico's   President Pena Nieto shake hands in Mexico CityBy Dave Graham MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's president rebuked Donald Trump as a threat to his country just hours after painting a positive picture of talks the two held on Wednesday to try to defuse tensions over the U.S. presidential hopeful's anti-Mexican campaign rhetoric. President Enrique Pena Nieto had on Wednesday afternoon hailed as "open and constructive" the impromptu meeting he held with Trump, who later referred to the Mexican leader as his friend and a "wonderful" president. "His policy stances could represent a huge threat to Mexico, and I am not prepared to keep my arms crossed and do nothing," Pena Nieto said.




Venezuela opposition aims to flood Caracas in anti-Maduro protest
5:05:32 AM

Opposition supporters in wheelchairs arrive from the   state of Lara to a gathering with Tintori, wife of jailed Venezuelan opposition   leader Lopez in CaracasBy Andrew Cawthorne and Daniel Kai CARACAS (Reuters) - White-clad opposition supporters from all corners of Venezuela were descending on Caracas on Thursday for rallies intended to press for a recall referendum this year against unpopular socialist President Nicolas Maduro. With protesters coming in from the Amazon jungle to the western Andes, the opposition coalition hopes a million people will gather in a show of anger at Maduro and Venezuela's deep economic crisis. Maduro, 53, says the opposition-dubbed 'Takeover of Caracas' disguises a U.S.-fomented coup plan, akin to a short-lived 2002 putsch against his mentor and predecessor Hugo Chavez.




White nationalists use Twitter with 'relative impunity' - report
4:44:40 AM

People holding mobile phones are silhouetted against   a backdrop projected with the Twitter logo in WarsawBy Dustin Volz WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White nationalists and self-identified Nazi sympathizers located mostly in the United States use Twitter with "relative impunity" and often have far more followers than militant Islamists, a study being released on Thursday found. Eighteen prominent white nationalist accounts examined in the study, including the American Nazi Party, have seen a sharp increase in Twitter followers to a total of more than 25,000, up from about 3,500 in 2012, according to the study by George Washington University's Program on Extremism that was seen by Reuters. The study's findings contrast with declining influence on Twitter Inc's service for Islamic State, also known as ISIS, amid crackdowns that have targeted the militant group, according to earlier research by report author J.M. Berger and the findings of other counter-extremism experts and government officials.




Trump returns to hardline position on illegal immigration

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks   at a campaign rally in PhoenixBy Emily Stephenson PHOENIX (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday that anyone who is in the United States illegally would be subject to deportation if he is elected, sticking with his hardline position after flirting with a softer approach. In a major speech in the border state of Arizona, Trump took a dim view of the 11 million people who crossed into the United States illegally, a week after saying many were "great people" who had lived in the country for years and contributed to American society.




Brazil impeachment opens diplomatic rift in Latin America
4:18:16 AM
By Alonso Soto and Lisandra Paraguassu BRASILIA (Reuters) - The dismissal of Brazil's president upset relations with leftist Latin American governments on Wednesday as Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia recalled their ambassadors to protest what they called a "coup" and Brasilia responded in kind. The Brazilian Senate voted 61-20 to convict the country's first female president, Dilma Rousseff, of illegally using money from state banks to bankroll public spending. The vote ended 13 years of progressive Workers Party rule and brought to power her conservative former vice president, Michel Temer.

Senators voted 61-20 to convict the country's first female president for illegally using money from state banks to bankroll public spending, marking the end of 13 years of leftist Workers Party rule. Rousseff's opponents hailed her removal as paving the way for a change of fortunes for Brazil.




German lawmaker wants to make it easier to deport 'preachers of hate'
3:10:47 AM
Germany should change its law to make it easier to deport "preachers of hate" and other potentially dangerous individuals, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party said on Thursday. Stephan Mayer, security spokesman for the Christian Democratic party in parliament, told the Passauer Neue Presse newspaper that Germany had made strides in its fight against Islamist militants but that more work was needed, including steps to increase deportations of potential attackers. "We should deport more rigorously, like Bavaria, which is a real role model for the other states." Mayer is a member of the Bavaria-based Christian Social Union (CSU), which is allied with Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) but has been critical of her open-door refugee policy.

UK government needs stronger response to VW emissions scandal-committee
11:22:18 PM

VW presents new Beetle at "Sunshinetour   2016"By Nina Chestney LONDON (Reuters) - The British government should take a tougher stance against Volkswagen after its emissions fraud, as well as increase the use of electric cars and reduce air pollution from transport, a parliamentary environment committee said on Thursday. Almost a year after U.S regulators found that Volkswagen (VW) had cheated in diesel emissions tests, the British government has yet to decide what action to take against Europe's largest automaker, even though it faces criminal investigations in the United States, South Korea and elsewhere. The worldwide scandal, dubbed "Dieselgate", has hurt VW's reputation and business, and already cost it billions of dollars.




Gabon's President Bongo re-elected, parliament set on fire
10:46:02 PM

Gabonese opposition candidate Jean Ping greets   supporters outside his campaign headquarters after proclaiming that he won the   presidential election in LibrevilleBy Gerauds Wilfried Obangome LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - Demonstrators in Gabon clashed with police and set part of the parliament building on fire on Wednesday as anger boiled over among opposition supporters at President Ali Bongo's re-election in polls that his main rival, Jean Ping, claimed to have won. Opposition members of the Central African oil producer's electoral commission rejected Saturday's first-past-the-post election result, which would see the Bongo family's nearly half-century in power extended another seven years. Gabon's economic troubles, caused by falling oil output and prices, have led to budget cuts in one of Africa's richest nations and fuelled opposition charges that its 1.8 million people have struggled under Bongo's leadership.




Defiant to the end, Brazil's Rousseff vows to fight on
10:45:11 PM

Brazil's former President Dilma Rousseff, who   was removed by the Brazilian Senate from office earlier, speaks at the Alvorada   Palace in BrasiliaBy Stephen Eisenhammer RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil's Dilma Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla who rose to become her country's first female president, went out as she always said she would: fighting. "I know we will all fight." Such defiance is characteristic of the 68-year-old leftist, who was imprisoned and tortured in the early 1970s under Brazil's military dictatorship. Removed from office for breaking budget laws, Rousseff denied any wrongdoing to the very end, vowing to appeal to the Supreme Court to reverse an impeachment she has described as a coup.
