Crashed EgyptAir MS804 wreckage finally found

Investigators say "several main locations" of debris identified through images by survey vessel in Mediterreanean Sea.

Egypt says that it has spotted and obtained images from the wreckage of the EgyptAir plane that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea last month, killing all 66 people on board.

The country's investigation committee said on Wednesday a survey vessel, John Lethbridge, "had identified several main locations of the wreckage".

The John Lethbridge has been contracted by the Egyptian government from the Mauritius-based Deep Ocean Search firm to join the search for flight MS804's debris and flight data recorders.

The Philippines’ president-elect, Rodrigo Duterte, has agreed to resume formal peace negotiations with Maoist-led rebels in Oslo starting in July, one of his senior advisers has said, after the talks stalled four years ago.

The Philippines began talks with the communist National Democratic Front in 1986 to resolve one of the world’s longest-running insurgencies, which has killed more than 40,000 people and stunted growth in the Philippines over almost 50 years.

Jesus Dureza, Duterte’s peace adviser, said the agreement came after two days of informal talks with Europe-based exiled rebel leaders in Norway.

Six videos of police violence during France's labour reform protests

A nationwide protest movement against a controversial French labour law has pitted police against demonstrators for the past few months. Since the protests began in March, numerous videos shared on social media have captured police officers hitting protesters with batons, punching them or lobbing grenades in their direction, among other acts of violence. Several journalists covering the movement have been injured in the crossfire. We examine six of the most striking videos showing police violence. 

In France, many citizens, trade unions and a significant part of the political left have showed strong opposition to the law proposed by Labour Minister Myriam El Khomri, which would make fundamental changes to the labour code. They take issue with several controversial articles, especially those that would change France’s famous 35-hour work week, regulate overtime and make it easier for companies to make workers redundant. 

It’s in this context that the Nuit Debout (or "Up All Night") movement was born. Its adherents have vowed to occupy public spaces to force debate about political, social and economic issues. Started in the Place de République in Paris, the movement has now spread across France.

By Jim Sciutto, Tal Yellin and Ryan Browne, CNN

Donald Trump said Monday that if elected he would "suspend immigration from areas of the world when there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we understand how to end these threats."

What would this latest version -- there have been several -- of the GOP presumptive presidential nominee's proposed ban look like? And how many people would it affect? The short answer is millions. Here's the math, including nonimmigrant and immigrant visas from countries that have any sort of terrorist activity:

Venezuela in crisis: 400 arrested for looting

Venezuelan military have arrested at least 400 people in the city of Cumana after the latest bout of looting.

Venezuelan military have swarmed the city of Cumana, which is the capital of Sucre state, and detained more than 400 people after street violence and looting over food shortages.

Several people were reportedly shot dead with more than 20 businesses ransacked during the riots on Tuesday.

Local authorities have said that these acts of what they called "vandalism" were inspired by a right-wing faction within the country's opposition.

"Local media was saying that three people has been reported as having been killed, but local authorities denied these claims," said Al Jazeera's Virginia Lopez, reporting from Caracas.

Times Square - but not as you know it

16 June 2016

News from Iraq tends to focus on conflict and politics - but there is another side to the country which is often forgotten, writes Martin Fletcher on a visit to Basra.

Basra. The mere name awakens grim memories. It is the city in southern Iraq that British troops spent four years trying to stabilise following the US invasion in 2003. It is where dozens of British soldiers lost their lives, and from which they were eventually driven by the relentless and lethal attacks of various Islamic militias.

A decade on, Basra is still governed by Iranian-backed Islamist politicians. And it remains an unprepossessing city to look at. Its dusty streets are dissected by rubbish-clogged canals. The rusting hulls of ships, most sunk in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, still protrude from the Shatt al-Arab waterway. Bombed buildings have yet to be rebuilt, and the port remains closed.
