| Here, there and everywhere; Kardashian suffers price of social media exposure | |  By Jill Serjeant NEW YORK (Reuters) - On her way to a fashion show, selfies of her diamond teeth grillz, or casually Snapchatting with family back home - Kim Kardashian documented her days in Paris in detail on social media, right up until about an hour before she was held at gunpoint and robbed of some $10 million worth of jewelry. The pre-dawn robbery on Monday highlighted the pitfalls of notoriety built on heavy use of Twitter, Instagram and other social media that has made Kardashian one of the most visible celebrities in the world, security experts say.

| Media mogul's Sao Paulo win boosts backer's hopes of Brazil presidency | |  By Brad Haynes SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Millionaire media mogul João Doria's stunning entry into Brazilian politics with a crushing first-round victory in Sao Paulo's mayoral race has fanned mounting speculation about a presidential run by his main political supporter. Geraldo Alckmin, governor of Sao Paulo state, backed the political newcomer against resistance from nearly every other powerbroker in his Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB), and in doing so undercut rivals for the presidential nomination in 2018. Capturing 53 percent of valid votes in Brazil's biggest city on Sunday, Doria demolished a re-election bid by Mayor Fernando Haddad, who took less than 17 percent as his Workers Party suffered fallout from a vast corruption scandal and the impeachment of former President Dilma Rousseff.

| U.N. discusses urging end to all military flights over Syria's Aleppo | |  By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations Security Council will begin negotiations on Monday on a draft resolution that urges Russia and the United States to ensure an immediate truce in Syria's Aleppo and to "put an end to all military flights over the city." The draft text, seen by Reuters, also asks U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to propose options for a U.N.-supervised monitoring of a truce and threatens to "take further measures" in the event of non-compliance by "any party to the Syrian domestic conflict." The 15-member council began talks on the text - drafted by France and Spain - on Monday afternoon, diplomats said. The draft resolution urges Russia and the United States "to ensure the immediate implementation of the cessation of hostilities, starting with Aleppo, and, to that effect, to put an end to all military flights over the city." Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Monday that the draft text "raises many questions" for Moscow and was a politicized move to exert additional pressure on Russia and Syria, TASS news agency reported.

| Ex-detainees say CIA used mock electric chair in secret Afghan prison - rights group | | | Two Tunisian men who spent 12 years in U.S. custody in Afghanistan said CIA interrogators tortured them using previously unreported techniques that included threatening them with a mock electric chair and beating them with batons so brutally that they suffered broken bones, Human Rights Watch reported on Monday. The accounts, which could not be independently confirmed, raised new questions about how prisoners were treated in a former CIA prison in Afghanistan that remains shrouded in secrecy.Ryan Trapani, a CIA spokesman, said the "CIA reviewed its records and found nothing to support these new claims." But Dan Jones, who led a Senate investigation into the CIA detention program, said the accounts given by the two men, Ridha al-Najjar, 51, and Lotfi al-Arabi El Gherissi, 52, were important because so little is known about the "Cobalt" black site, where an Afghan detainee froze to death in 2002. |
| Stunned Latin America exhorts Colombia to keep seeking peace | |  By Alexandra Ulmer and Mitra Taj CARACAS/LIMA (Reuters) - Latin America bemoaned Colombian voters' rejection of a peace deal with Marxist insurgents but regional leaders urged Bogota to keep pursing efforts to end the longest-running conflict in the Americas. Havana hosted four years of peace negotiations while Chile, Cuba, and Venezuela acted as guarantor and observer countries. Nations from leftist-run Venezuela to center-right Peru lamented the outcome of Sunday's referendum, where the "No" camp won by less than half a percentage point.

| Colombia's ex-president Uribe holds keys after peace vote defeat | |  Since stepping down as president six years ago, Alvaro Uribe has relentlessly condemned the policies of his handpicked successor-turned-foe and chiseled away at support for his biggest goal: ending the war with Marxist rebels. On Sunday, the hardline senator scored his biggest victory yet against President Juan Manuel Santos, turning what seemed like certain victory for a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, into a massive blow to the government. Colombians' narrow rejection of the peace accord in a referendum shocked the world.

| Colombia's peace deal in limbo after shock referendum | |  By Helen Murphy and Julia Symmes Cobb BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's government and Marxist guerrillas scrambled on Monday to revive a plan to end their 52-year war after voters rejected the hard-negotiated deal as too lenient on the rebels in a shock referendum result that plunged the nation into uncertainty. Any renegotiated peace accord now seems to depend on whether the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) could accept some tougher sanctions against them. Both President Juan Manuel Santos and Rodrigo Londono, the top FARC commander better known by his nom de guerre Timochenko, put a brave face on the referendum setback after their teams had negotiated for four years in Havana.

| Ohio to resume executions in January after three-year pause | | | (Reuters) - The state of Ohio plans to resume the execution of condemned inmates in January, ending a three-year pause in carrying out death sentences, under a new lethal-injection protocol designed to meet U.S. Supreme Court approval, prison officials said on Monday. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction said it would proceed in January with the scheduled execution of Ronald Phillips, convicted and sentenced to death for the 1993 rape and murder of a 3-year-old girl. Ohio, one of 31 U.S. states with capital punishment, instituted a death penalty moratorium in 2015 due to difficulty in obtaining the drugs needed to perform lethal injections. |
| Thousands of Poles protest against planned abortion ban | |  The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has put forward the proposal - from a group called Ordo Iuris - for debate in parliament. Critics of the new rules say PiS may back them for fear of angering the church in staunchly Roman Catholic Poland. Poland's already restrictive laws only allow abortion in the case of rape, incest, a threat to a pregnant woman's health, or when the baby is likely to be permanently handicapped.

The incidents have also grown more deadly, with three times as many people injured or killed during the most recent five-year period, the New York City-based Citizens Crime Commission said. "It is now appropriate to call our nation's gun violence problem an epidemic," said the commission's president, Richard Aborn.
