| Luxemburg's Asselborn blasts Orban for anti-refugee comments | |  Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn on Thursday sharply criticised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for saying refugees should not come to Europe and Muslims were not welcome in Hungary. "One has to feel ashamed of Viktor Orban," Asselborn told German broadcaster ZDF, calling Orban a man who was smashing European values such as solidarity and helpfulness. "We don't need such paroles," Asselborn said, adding that Orban needed to be isolated in Europe and should not be an example for other leaders.

Lynch WASHINGTON (Reuters) - London day trader Navinder Sarao has been formally indicted by a U.S. federal grand jury on charges of market manipulation that prosecutors say helped contribute to the 2010 "flash crash," according to a Sept. 2 court filing made public on Thursday.

Sarao is accused of using an automated trading programme to "spoof" markets by generating large sell orders that pushed down prices.

| Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to recognise gay marriages | |  By Steve Bittenbender ASHLAND, Ky. (Reuters) - A Kentucky county clerk was jailed on Thursday for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, but a full day of court hearings failed to put an end to her two-month-old legal fight over a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding same-sex marriage. U.S. District Judge David Bunning found Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in contempt then elicited a pledge from five of her six deputies to issue the licenses. The 49-year-old woman, who has emerged as a darling of social conservatives, has refused to issue licenses to any couples, gay or straight, since the U.S. Supreme Court in June ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry under the U.S. Constitution, citing her beliefs as an Apostolic Christian.

| Migrants scuffle with Hungary police; dead toddler's image shocks Europe | |  By Marton Dunai and Ece Toksabay BICSKE, Hungary/MUGLA, Turkey (Reuters) - Migrants forced from a train in Hungary scuffled with helmeted riot police and some clung to railway tracks on Thursday, as politicians across Europe struggled to respond to public opinion appalled by images of a drowned 3-year-old boy. France and Germany said European countries must be required to accept their shares of refugees, proposing what would potentially be the biggest change to the continent's asylum rules since World War Two. Europe's worst refugee crisis since the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s has strained the European Union's asylum system to breaking point, dividing its 28 nations and feeding the rise of right-wing populists.

| U.N. experts accuse Chad of abuses in Central Africa conflict | | | By Louis Charbonneau UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Chadian security forces have been guilty of numerous abuses against civilians in the conflict in Central African Republic, including indiscriminate border killings, a panel that monitors U.N. sanctions said in a confidential report seen by Reuters. Central African Republic (CAR), a former French colony, descended into chaos in March 2013 when predominantly Muslim Seleka rebels seized power, sparking reprisals by "anti-balaka" Christian militias who drove tens of thousands of Muslims from the south in a de facto partition of the landlocked country. Another problem is that government forces of neighbouring Chad have targeted CAR refugees attempting to cross the border and return home. |

Vice President Alejandro Maldonado will fill out the remaining months of Perez' term. "I have submitted to (judicial) processes so that Guatemala can move on and so that there is no violence or bloodshed," Perez said in a local radio interview on Thursday.

| Venice film puts spotlight on Boston's paedophile priests | |  By Hanna Rantala VENICE (Reuters) - "Spotlight" starring Michael Keaton and Mark Ruffalo as reporters working on the Boston Globe's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation of paedophile Roman Catholic priests deals with just a fraction sexual predation in the Church, its director says. Reports of sexual misconduct by the late British entertainer Jimmy Savile and other high profile cases are an indication of the global scope of the problem, and of failures to deal with it, Tom McCarthy said before his film's screening on Thursday at the Venice Film Festival. The Globe's Spotlight team exposed the attacks over a period of decades by priests in the Boston archdiocese who molested young boys and girls but instead of being reported to the police were given counselling and moved to a different parish.

| U.S. sanctions against Chinese firms could be next week - FT | | | (Reuters) - The United States is preparing to sanction Chinese companies connected to the cyber theft of U.S. intellectual property as early as next week, the Financial Times reported on Thursday. The FT cited three U.S. officials as saying the sanctions probably would come next week in advance of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit later in the month. Suspicions that Chinese hackers were behind a series of data breaches in the United States have been an irritant in relations between the United States and China. |
| It's risky to come to Europe, Hungary's PM tells migrants | |  By Alastair Macdonald BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Refugees should not risk their children's lives trying to reach Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday as he defended his tough approach to border control on the frontline of Europe's migration crisis. Orban, who also insisted Hungary did not want to accept Muslim refugees, was asked on a visit to Brussels about an image of a drowned Syrian child on a Turkish beach which has grabbed world attention this week and said that it was not a moral argument for opening Europe's doors. The moral, human thing is to make clear: Please don't come," Orban told reporters.

| U.S. suspects more freed Guantanamo inmates returned to battlefield | |  The number of detainees freed from the U.S. Guantanamo detention camp who are suspected of "re-engaging" with militant groups overseas increased over the first six months of 2015, the Obama administration said on Thursday. Figures released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence showed that, as of July this year, of 121 detainees released since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, six were confirmed to have gone back to the battlefield and a further six were suspected of having done so. Figures released in January had shown that Obama had released a total of 115 Guantanamo inmates, six of whom had returned to the battlefield, but only one of whom was then "suspected of re-engaging." Between January and July this year the administration released six detainees.

| FIFA reform chief explains comments on U.S. justice, soccer | |  By Brian Homewood BERNE (Reuters) - FIFA's reform chief meant no offence to United States authorities when he questioned why they were investigating corruption in football, he said on Thursday.

The remarks were contained in an interview he gave to the Swiss newspaper Le Matin Dimanche.

| Migrants cling to Hungarian train west, lawmakers debate sealing border | |  By Marton Dunai BICSKE, Hungary (Reuters) - Migrants threw themselves onto railway lines and scuffled with helmeted riot police trying to take them to a reception centre in Hungary on Thursday, forced from a train in desperate scenes symbolic of a European asylum system brought to breaking point. As lawmakers debated measures to effectively seal Hungary's southern border within days, hundreds of migrants, many of them refugees from the Syrian war, clung to carriages at a provincial railway station west of Budapest, hoping to reach to Austria and western Europe. In sweltering temperatures, riot police forced some to disembark from one of five carriages, but others resisted, banging on windows and shouting "No camp, no camp!".
