| Iraqi panel finds Maliki, others responsible for fall of Mosul - report | |  An Iraqi parliamentary panel called on Sunday for dozens of security and political officials, including former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, to be referred to court in connection with the fall of the northern city of Mosul to Islamic State. The indictment of Maliki, who remains a powerful figure in Iraq's complex political landscape, and other senior officials comes a week after Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi launched a sweeping campaign to combat corruption and mismanagement that he argued had made the country nearly impossible to govern. In the panel's report, seen by Reuters and confirmed as accurate by three of its members, the committee also placed responsibility for the June 2014 defeat with former Mosul Governor Atheel al-Nujaifi, former acting defence minister Sadoun al-Dulaimi, former army chief General Babakir Zebari and Lieutenant General Mahdi al-Gharrawi, former operational commander of Nineveh province, of which Mosul is the capital.

| PM Modi disappoints supporters with low-key speech | |  By Rupam Jain Nair NEW DELHI (Reuters) - After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reforms agenda got blocked in parliament, people in his camp were hoping the famed orator will use a key Independence Day speech to renew confidence in his leadership. Modi's 90-minute-long speech, made from the ramparts of New Delhi's Red Fort on Saturday, focused on measures his "Team India" had rolled out to include millions of poor Indians in the banking and insurance systems, policies for workers and farmers and successes in the fights against inflation and corruption. "We expected him to hit back at the opposition and blame the opposition for the slower-than-expected reform pace, but he failed to do so," said a minister in Modi's government.
