| Uproar after two children burned alive, Haryana police arrest four | | | By Adnan Abidi BALLABHGARH, India (Reuters) - Police in Haryana have arrested four men over allegations that they burnt alive two low-caste children, an official said on Wednesday, a case that triggered a street protest and drew condemnation from an opposition leader.

In a speech to the Zionist Congress late on Tuesday, Netanyahu referred to a series of Muslim attacks on Jews in Palestine during the 1920s that he said were instigated by the then-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini. Husseini famously flew to visit Hitler in Berlin in 1941, and Netanyahu said that meeting was instrumental in the Nazi leader's decision to launch a campaign to annihilate the Jews.

| Migrants stranded in Balkans suffer bad weather, bottlenecks | |  By Marja Novak and Aleksandar Vasovic LJUBLJANA, Slovenia/BERKASOVO,Serbia (Reuters) - About 3,500 migrants spent the night camped out in freezing cold at the Berkasovo-Bapska border crossing between Serbia and Croatia after the Croatian government closed the gates to limit the number of people entering the country. At first light on Thursday, groups of refugees bypassed the official border crossing and walked through orchards into Croatia. The crossing is one of the new focal points of Europe's biggest refugee and migrant crisis since World War II, which has seen hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa this year to try to reach Europe's rich countries.
