O'Keefe complaint to FEC cites Dems' 'criminal conspiracy'
The filing of the complaint with the federal agency follows the release earlier this week of two videos on which Democrats explain how they can attempt to change the outcome of the election through apparently fraudulent means – like having people travel across state lines to vote illegally.

Mosquito-borne virus threat to Americas laid bare
More than 500 million people across Latin America and the Caribbean are at risk from mosquito-borne diseases, a summit in Cuba has heard. Dengue, chikungunya and Zika are threatening half the population of the region, delegates heard.

South Africa to withdraw from war crimes court
South Africa has formally begun the process of withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC), notifying the UN of its decision. South Africa did not want to execute ICC arrest warrants which would lead to "regime change", a minister said. Last year, a South African court criticised the government for refusing to arrest Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir.

'Israel has every right to refuse a 1967 withdrawal'
US support for a resolution to replace UN Security Council Resolution 242 would conflict with commitments given to Israel by Washington going back to 1973, former Foreign Ministry director-general Dore Gold told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. “I remember that after the ’73 war the United States gave Israel commitments that it would not allow for a change in United Nations Security Council Resolution 242,” Gold said.

Nationalists and Populists Poised to Dominate European Balloting
As Europeans assess the fallout from the U.K.’s Brexit referendum, they face a series of elections that could equally shake the political establishment. In the coming 12 months, four of Europe’s five largest economies have votes that will almost certainly mean serious gains for right-wing populists and nationalists. Once seen as fringe groups, France’s National Front, Italy’s Five Star Movement, and the Freedom Party in the Netherlands have attracted legions of followers by tapping discontent over immigration, terrorism, and feeble economic performance. “The Netherlands should again become a country of and for the Dutch people,” says Evert Davelaar, a Freedom Party backer who says immigrants don’t share “Western and Christian values.”

If You Don’t Like Either Candidate, Then Vote for Trump’s Policies
Voting for Clinton and her ultraliberal policies is not an option for me as an evangelical Christian. Therefore I am left with two options: (1) vote for Trump, or (2) vote for a third-party candidate whose hopes of winning belong to fantasy, not reality. And if these are my only two options, then voting for a third-party candidate has the clear effect of helping to elect Clinton

Russia possibly mapping underwater internet cables in Mediterranean
Approximately one year ago, the Russian navy caused quite a stir by hanging around internet cables in the Atlantic for some period of time. The accusation was the Russians were mapping the cables in order to be able to sever them in times of conflict. The Russian fleet in the Mediterranean seems to be doing the same thing this week over cables off the Syrian coast.
