(Reuters) - The Oregon sheriff investigating the mass shooting that killed nine people at a U.S. college campus took the unusual step of refusing to publicly identify the suspect, insisting on Friday he would do nothing to glorify the gunman or his cause. A day after the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, local and federal investigators were trying to determine a motive for the rampage, which shocked the small Oregon town and revived a national debate over gun control. ... |
| Insight - VW rivals risk bigger blow as emissions scandal hits diesel | |  By Gilles Guillaume, Barbara Lewis and Laurence Frost PARIS/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Volkswagen's cheating on emissions tests has soured the European car industry's heavy bet on diesel, with Renault, Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler potentially facing bigger long-term setbacks than the company that sparked the crisis.

| British boy, 15, gets life sentence for inciting Anzac Day attack in Australia | | | A 15-year-old boy, thought to be the youngest Briton to be convicted of a terrorism offence, was given a life sentence on Friday for inciting an attack on a World War One commemorative event in Australia from his bedroom in northern England. The boy, who cannot be named due to his age, pleaded guilty in July to sending messages online encouraging an attack on police officers at an event in April to mark Anzac Day - a day of remembrance for military dead in Australia and New Zealand.
