| British singer Cliff Richard interviewed by police | |  British singer Cliff Richard has been interviewed by police, his spokesman said on Sunday, after police launched an investigation into allegations of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s involving an underage boy. Richard, 73, whose house was searched earlier this month by police in connection with the allegation, has denied any wrongdoing. "Cliff Richard voluntarily met with and was interviewed by members of South Yorkshire Police. He was not arrested or charged," a spokesman for the singer said. Other than restating that this allegation is completely false and that he will continue to co-operate fully with the police, it would not be appropriate for Sir Cliff to say anything further at this time." South Yorkshire Police confirmed they had spoken to a 73-year-old man "in relation to an allegation of a sexual nature dating back to 1985".

| Italy finds 19 boat migrants dead, saves over 3,500 since Friday - navy | | | Italy's maritime search and rescue service saved 3,500 migrants and found 19 corpses in the Mediterranean Sea since Friday as thousands attempted to cross to Europe by boat over the weekend, the Italian navy said. Calmer summer seas have led more people to make the perilous crossing this year from North Africa, where a breakdown of order in Libya has been exploited by human traffickers, pushing the number of arrivals into Italy since January past 100,000. The Mare Nostrum search and rescue mission began after a shipwreck near Italy's coast killed 366 people last October. The mission costs around 9 million euros ($11.92 million) a month and has sparked fierce debate in Italy, which slipped back into recession in the second quarter after years of stagnation. |

| Calm holds in streets of Ferguson, Missouri two weeks after police shooting | |  By Nick Carey and Edward McAllister FERGUSON Mo. (Reuters) - Two weeks after a white policeman shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, smaller, quieter street protests prevailed at the weekend, while supporters of the officer rallied separately and called the shooting justified. Saturday marked the fourth night of relative calm for the St. Louis suburb following nightly spasms of unrest since Michael Brown, 18, was shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. President Barack Obama has ordered a review of the distribution of military hardware to state and local police, a senior administration official said on Saturday. Tracey Stewart-Parks, 52, who works for a health care firm, carried a sign that read "Mike Brown was someone's son - I walk for their son." She said something similar could have happened to any of her four sons.

| China executes eight for "terrorist" attacks in Xinjiang | |  China has executed eight people for "terrorist" attacks in its restive far western region of Xinjiang, including three who "masterminded" a dramatic car crash in the capital's Tiananmen Square in 2013, state media said. Xinjiang is the traditional home of Muslim Uighurs who speak a Turkic language, and China has attributed attacks there to Islamist separatists it says seek to establish an independent state called East Turkestan. Exiled Uighur groups and human rights activists say the government's own repressive policies in Xinjiang have provoked unrest, an accusation Beijing denies. Three of the executed group "masterminded" the October 2013 attack in the heart of the Chinese capital, official news agency Xinhua said late on Saturday.
