Russia Bans Jehovah's Witnesses as 'Extremist'
The justice ministry added the Jehovah's Witnesses administrative centre in Russia and 395 local branches to its register of banned organisations on Thursday.
Criminal charges can now be brought against believers for activities such as proselytizing or simply gathering together.
The move was based on an April supreme court decision that declared Jehovah's Witnesses an extremist organisation and ordered its property to be turned over to the state. » | Alec Luhn, Moscow | Thursday, August 17, 2017

Report: Crown Prince Wants End of Yemen War
Middle East Eye says it has obtained emails that show Mohammed bin Salman discussed the issue with a former U-S ambassador to Israel and ex-U-S national security adviser Steven Hadley. In the emails, Prince Mohammed also said he was not opposed to U-S rapprochement with Iran. The conversation took place in May, a month before a Saudi-led group of countries cut ties with Qatar, accusing it of trying to undermine the war on Yemen and for having friendly relations with Iran. The 31-year-old heir to the Saudi throne, who oversees the deadly aggression, has at times accused Tehran of destabilizing the region.

HARDtalk: Dustin Lance Black
It's fifty years since homosexuality was de-criminalized in Britain. In this period, the campaign for LGBT rights has won landmark victories in many parts of the world - perhaps best symbolised by the normalisation of gay marriage in a host of countries.
Black won an Oscar for the film Milk and has just completed a major series on the struggle for gay rights. Has the time come to declare a famous victory?

Why Is the US Threatening War with North Korea Instead of Pushing for Negotiations?
North Korea Promises US Territory of Guam Strike Plan in Days - BBC News
It denounced Donald Trump's warnings of "fire and fury" and said the US leader was "bereft of reason".
The US has warned the North its actions could mean the "end of its regime". US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said Pyongyang would be "grossly overmatched" in any war against the US and its allies.
The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, who is in Guam, says there is a sense that the North Korean threat is rhetorical, as most people feel that if they really did strike with missiles it would be suicidal for the North Korean regime.

"Gay and Muslim in America" - Al Jazeera - Edward Wyckoff Williams Reports (2014)
Our subjects both speak of wanting gay Muslims to galvanize around a progressive agenda that will challenge both their faith community and American neighbors and friends — to see Muslim Americans in their totality: diverse, multi-cultural and multi-contextual.
Imam Jalloh, leader of New York's largest mosque, says the doors to the mosque are always open to everyone -- regardless of sexual orientation. But he struggles to find a balance between the traditional teachings of the faith and lessons of the heart.

Tillerson: North Korean Leader Didn't Understand Diplomatic Language - BBC News
The North's official news agency said on Tuesday the plan involved firing medium-to-long-range rockets at Guam, where US strategic bombers are based.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, flying into Guam, said there was no imminent threat from North Korea. He also defended President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday threatened Pyongyang with "fire and fury". Mr Tillerson said that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un did not understand diplomatic language, and a strong message was needed that he would understand. "I think the president just wanted to be clear to the North Korean regime that the US... will defend itself and its allies," he said.
The exchanges mark a sharp rise in rhetoric between Washington and Pyongyang, but China has urged calm.
Inside Story - Can UK Tackle Growing Wage Gap among Ethnic Groups?
It has found that Pakistani and Bangladeshi households are at the bottom of the list, earning a third less than that of a white British household. The report says that while incomes for these minority groups have been growing, there is still a large gap between white households and ethnic groups. So, what does it mean to be in the lowest income group?
