| Ecuador hopes hearing marks 'beginning of the end' of Assange saga | |  By Hugh Bronstein UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Ecuador hopes that the October questioning of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, holed up in the country's London Embassy since 2012, will mark the "beginning of the end" of the legal deadlock over case, Ecuador's foreign minister said. Wikileaks burst onto the world scene in 2010 when it collaborated with media organizations to release U.S. State Department diplomatic cables. A Swedish appeals court last week upheld an arrest warrant for Assange, clearing the way for him to be questioned in Ecuador's London embassy on Oct. 17.

| Charlotte marchers demand police release shooting tapes | |  By Robert MacMillan and Mike Blake CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Reuters) - About 300 protesters took to the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, in a fourth night of demonstrations on Friday, calling on authorities to "release the tapes" of the fatal police shooting of a black man, hours after his family released its own video. Protesters gathered after nightfall in a small park and others chalked the names of police shooting victims from across the country on a street, but there was no sign of the violence that marked demonstrations earlier in the week. Protesters marched under the eye of armed National Guard troops, chanting "Resist the police" along with calls for videos of Tuesday's shooting of Keith Scott, a 43-year-old father of seven, to be made public.

| Pressure rises for Charlotte police to release shooting video | |  By Robert MacMillan and Mike Blake CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Reuters) - Police in Charlotte, North Carolina were under mounting pressure on Saturday to make public video of the fatal police shooting of a black man that sparked unrest this week, after a fourth night of protests unfolded peacefully under the watch of National Guard troops. The shooting on Tuesday of Keith Scott, a 43-year-old father of seven, was one of a series of deadly incidents across the country in recent years that has raised questions about use of force by U.S. law enforcement against African-Americans and other minorities. The circumstances of Scott's shooting, including whether Scott was brandishing a gun as police have said, have come under intense scrutiny that increased when the man's family on Friday released a cellphone video of the violent encounter.
