| 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 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 four years of negotiations in Havana between their teams.

| In new blow to campaign, Trump's foundation ordered to halt fundraising | |  By James Oliphant and Emily Stephenson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New York's attorney general ordered Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's charitable foundation to immediately stop fundraising in the state, warning that a failure to do so would be a "continuing fraud." For Trump, the cease-and-desist order was the latest in a series of blows that has sent his campaign reeling. The New York businessman and his aides spent much of the weekend dealing with the fallout from a New York Times report that said Trump may have avoided paying federal income taxes for almost 20 years. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office said the Donald J. Trump Foundation was violating a state law requiring charitable organizations that solicit outside donations to register with the office's Charities Bureau.

| 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." Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, backed by Russia war planes and Iranian support, have been battling to capture eastern Aleppo - the rebel-held half of Syria's largest city, where more than 250,000 civilians are trapped.

| Trump says he 'brilliantly' used U.S. tax laws | |  By Emily Stephenson PUEBLO, Colo. (Reuters) - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Monday he "brilliantly used" U.S. tax rules to his advantage in trying to limit the amount he paid in taxes, arguing it helped him survive a difficult period in the real estate market. "I was able to use the tax laws of this country and my business acumen to dig out of the real estate mess ... when few others were able to do what I did," Trump told a crowd in Pueblo, Colorado. It was Trump's first extended comments since a New York Times report said he had claimed a $916 million loss on his 1995 tax returns, which experts said might have allowed him to avoid paying federal income taxes for 18 years.
