Khan, a former cricket hero, plans to stage major protests to paralyse the capital on Wednesday in what he described as a final push to force Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign over corruption allegations. Police said the rally contravened a city order issued hours earlier to ban all public gatherings in the capital ahead of next week's protests.

| UBS ups reserves for U.S. mortgage case, forecasts tough markets |
|
 By Joshua Franklin and Angelika Gruber ZURICH (Reuters) - UBS increased reserves for penalties tied to mis-selling residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) by more than $400 million to $1.405 billion as it posted an 11 percent rise in third-quarter pre-tax profit. The Swiss bank made the disclosure in its quarterly report on Friday, following news last month that the U.S. Department of Justice had demanded a $14 billion fine from Deutsche Bank in a similar investigation. UBS's pre-tax profit for the three months to end-September rose 11 percent year on year to 877 million Swiss francs ($883 million), ahead of market forecasts, thanks to a strong business in the Swiss market and cost cuts.

| By Manuel Mogato and Tom Allard MANILA (Reuters) - A mayor on Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's wanted list for alleged drugs links was killed along with nine of his guards in a shootout on Friday, police said, as a new phase of a bloody narcotics crackdown zeroed-in on high profile targets. The 10 men succumbed to their wounds en route to hospital, police said, having opened fire on officers who tried to stop their two vehicles at a checkpoint in Duterte's troubled home province of Mindanao before dawn. "It was a legitimate police operation," said Bernard Tayong of the North Cotabato police office, adding that no officers were hurt but a police vehicle was riddled with bullets. |

|
 By Wa Lone and Simon Lewis U SHEY KYA/YANGON (Reuters) - Rohingya Muslims say Myanmar soldiers raped or sexually assaulted dozens of women in a remote village in the northwest of the country during the biggest upsurge in violence against the persecuted minority in four years. Eight Rohingya women, all from U Shey Kya village in Rakhine State, described in detail how soldiers last week raided their homes, looted property and raped them at gun point. Soldiers have poured into the Maungdaw area since Oct. 9, after an insurgent group of Rohingyas that the government believes has links to Islamists overseas launched coordinated attacks on several border guard posts.
