Pamplona festival gang rape trial wraps up in Spain

The trial of five men accused of gang raping a woman at Pamplona's bull-running festival wrapped up Tuesday in case that shocked Spain and sparked protests against violence against women. The men, aged 27 to 29, are accused of having raped the woman, then aged 18, at the entrance to an apartment building in Pamplona on July 7, 2016 at the start of the week-long San Fermin festival, which draws tens of thousands of visitors. "We don't see a sexual assault, we see sexual relations, period," the lawyer for three of the accused, Agustin Martinez Becerra, told reporters.

U.S. general sees no change in Pakistan behavior despite Trump tough line

By Idrees Ali WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. general in Afghanistan said on Tuesday that he had not seen a change in Pakistan's support for militants so far, despite President Donald Trump taking a tougher line against Islamabad. U.S. officials have long been frustrated by what they see as Pakistan’s reluctance to act against groups such as the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network that they believe exploit safe haven on Pakistani soil to launch attacks on neighboring Afghanistan. In August, Trump outlined a new strategy for the war in Afghanistan, chastising Pakistan over its alleged support for Afghan militants.

Donald Trump mocked for hosting meeting with empty chairs after Democrat leaders refuse to attend

Donald Trump probably thought his decision to pose between two empty seats reserved for missing Democratic leaders was a stroke of genius - or in his own words “smart” - but it has backfired and the US president has been roundly mocked. President Trump declared Democrats used to be “all talk, no action” but now they are “not even talk” while sat between two seats reserved for Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. The two Democrat leaders did not show up for a meeting at the White House after Mr Trump accused democratic congressional leaders of scheming to use their leverage to increase taxes and deluge the US with undocumented immigrants.
