"I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive," Sheen said, adding he was "not entirely sure" how he contracted the virus.

| Paris plans defiant night of food, drink and cafe life | |  By Michel Rose PARIS (Reuters) - Parisians rallied for a night of the eating and drinking they are famous for on Tuesday, in defiance of the Islamist militants who gunned down Friday night revellers last week. Social media reverberated with the slogan "Je suis en terrasse", an echo of January's "Je suis Charlie" movement and a reflection of how Friday's slaughter at cafes, a music venue and a football stadium hit the younger, wealthier and more fun-loving residents of the French capital. ...

| Ban on Israeli Islamist group raises risk of Arab minority backlash | |  By Dan Williams JERUSALEM (Reuters) - In outlawing its most strident Islamist group, Israel risks angering its largely quiescent Arab citizens as it confronts a wave of Palestinian violence powered by religious and political tensions. The relative popularity of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, banned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet on Tuesday, has troubled Israel as it tries to curb street attacks raging for the past seven weeks. Leaders of the Israeli Arab minority declared a commercial strike for Thursday in protest at the ban and accused Netanyahu of scapegoating their community rather than addressing the Palestinians' grievances and statehood demands.

| Kerry: need progress on Syria for more cooperation with Russia on Islamic State | |  By David Brunnstrom PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday increased coordination with Russia in the fight against Islamic State militants would require progress in the political process to end the Syrian war.

| France requests European support in Syria, Iraq, Africa | | | By Robin Emmott and Sabine Siebold BRUSSELS (Reuters) - France invoked the European Union's mutual assistance clause for the first time on Tuesday, asking its partners for military help and other aid in missions in the Middle East and Africa after the Paris attacks. The unexpected move to look to the European Union for help, rather than the U.S.-led NATO alliance, requires all of the bloc's 28 members to provide "aid and assistance", which Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said meant taking some of the burden off France as Europe's most active military power. "France cannot do everything, in the Sahel, in the Central African Republic, in the Levant and then secure its national territory," Le Drian told a news conference during a meeting of EU defence ministers in Brussels where he invoked the EU's Article 42.7 mutual assistance clause. |
| Armed police to patrol England v France soccer match following Paris attacks | | | Armed police will patrol around Wembley stadium on Tuesday, as England and France play a friendly soccer match just days after militants launched suicide bombings outside the Stade de France as part of a wave of attacks in Paris. Common in European countries like France, armed police are generally a rare sight in Britain although they did patrol the London Olympic Games in 2012 and have become more common in recent years due to fears of a militant attack. Prime Minister David Cameron, Mayor Boris Johnson and Prince William are expected to attend the match where English fans will be encouraged to put aside traditional football rivalry and sing the French national anthem. |
| Bullets, chemicals found at homes of Belgian Paris suspects - paper | |  A Belgian newspaper said on Tuesday that police found bullets and a possible bomb-making chemical at the Brussels homes of two men being held on suspicion of terrorist offences in connection with Friday's Paris attacks. Lawyers for the men have said they are innocent and got caught up in the case because they drove to Paris early on Saturday to fetch Salah Abdeslam, now a prime suspect on the run, after he called them to say his car broke down. Salah Abdeslam's elder brother, Brahim, was one of seven men who blew themselves up in Paris on Friday evening with improvised suicide belts.
