| Feud tarnishes reputation of Turkey's Erdogan, Gulen - survey | |  Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's feud with U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen has damaged the reputation of both, but Erdogan's party would still win an election if one were called this weekend, a survey showed on Thursday. A corruption scandal led to the resignation of three government ministers last month, as well as the detention of businessmen close to Erdogan, who has portrayed the investigation as a "judicial coup" attempt by Gulen supporters. Gulen's Hizmet ("Service") movement is widely believed to have considerable influence in the police and judiciary and the government has transferred thousands of police officers and more than a hundred prosecutors in response to the inquiry. "Both sides are losing prestige rapidly," Ozer Sancar, the head of the MetroPoll polling company said.

| Arvind Kejriwal says no question of banning "Khap Panchayats" | |  NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Arvind Kejriwal, the new political star whose call for clean politics has struck a popular chord, has said he would not ban the illegal village courts because they had a "cultural" purpose despite their harsh treatment of women. Kejriwal, who became chief minister of Delhi after his one-year-old Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) swept to power last month, will now contest the national elections due by May. His party's key anti-corruption platform is seen as having considerable appeal among urban voters. But his stand on village councils - unelected all-male bodies which have issued many misogynistic decrees, including ordering 'honour killings' - contrasts with that of some women's groups who want them dismantled. "No, it is not a question of banning these panchayats," Kejriwal told Thomson Reuters Foundation late on Monday, referring to "Khap Panchayats", the name given to village councils in rural north India.

| Israeli weed smokers choked by border fence with Egypt | | | By Maayan Lubell ISRAEL-EGYPT BORDER (Reuters) - Israel's newly fortified Egyptian border has delivered a severe blow to drug smugglers, forcing its hashish and marijuana smokers to deal with a new kind of high - soaring prices. The ravines that snake past rocky red mountains once provided a popular, low-risk route for traffickers to run drugs, women and African migrants into Israel over the southern frontier along Egypt's Sinai desert. And as workers weld the few remaining patches of the metal barrier, drug supply in Israel is down and prices are up. That's millions of shekels," said a senior Israeli military officer in the area. |
