Alleged Hamas members arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting attacks on Jewish sites
BERLIN — Three alleged members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting attacks on Jewish institutions in the country, officials said on Wednesday.The suspects are set to appear in court Thursday and a judge will then determine whether the trio can be held in custody ahead of trial.Germany's federal prosecutor said they have been involved in procuring firearms since earlier this summer.Two of the suspects are German citizens. The federal prosecutor's office described the third as being born in Lebanon.They were named only as Abed Al G., Wael F. M., and Ahmad I., in line with German privacy rules.Questions will likely be raised over whether the suspects were acting on orders from the Hamas leadership or if they were merely...

Patterson was sentenced to life in prison for murdering three relatives
Mushroom killer to appeal against guilty verdict
SINGAPORE — Australia's mushroom murderer Erin Patterson intends to appeal against her conviction, her lawyer has told a court in Melbourne.Earlier last month, Patterson was sentenced to life in jail after a jury found her guilty of killing three relatives and attempting to kill another by serving them a toxic beef Wellington laced with poisonous mushrooms.She maintained her innocence during the 11-week long trial, claiming that the disastrous meal had been an accident.No details of the proposed grounds for appeal were given during Thursday's brief administrative hearing, and the appeal has not yet been formally lodged.An appeal is not an automatic right — her legal team must convince the appeal court in the state of Victoria that there were legal errors and that they should...

Activists claim Israeli vessel approached and disrupted Gaza flotilla
JERUSALEM — The Global Sumud Flotilla carrying activists and humanitarian aid to Gaza, attempting to break through Israel's naval blockade, said it was approached by what one of its members described as an Israeli military vessel in the early hours of Wednesday.The ship, according to activist Thiago Avila and others, damaged communication systems on some of the boats within the fleet, including the lead boats Alma and Sirius, and performed “very dangerous maneuvers”.In a collaborative post on Avila's Instagram page, a large vessel can be seen circling the flotilla’s fleet. It is unclear whether the ship the activist accused of the attack was indeed Israeli, as visibility was limited.Euronews reviewed the video and could not independently verify the vessel's...

US federal government shuts down after Senate fails to pass funding plans
WASHINGTON — The US government has shut down for the first time in almost seven years after members of Congress failed to agree a last-ditch funding deal.Hundreds of thousands of federal workers could now be furloughed or laid off, and national parks and museums could close. Previous government shutdowns have also led to air travel disruption due to staff shortages.The path forward is unclear as both sides have blamed the other for the shutdown. Efforts in the Senate to keep the government funded fell short late on Tuesday despite frenetic negotiations.President Donald Trump has threatened mass firings and the cutting of some federal benefits that he said were important to Democrats.Sixty votes are needed in the Senate to pass a government funding bill, meaning that even while...

6.9 magnitude earthquake kills dozens in central Philippines
MANILA — A powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines late Tuesday, killing more than 60 people and raising fears of considerable destruction.The shallow earthquake struck around 10 p.m. local time, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), just west of Palompon and close to the city of Bogo in Cebu province.A quake of this strength in the region could cause casualties and damage to poorly built structures, early survey models suggest.Cebu Governor Pam Baricuatro said in a post on Facebook that “a total of 27 individuals were reported dead and 143 others sustained various injuries” after the quake.Richard Gordon, chairman of the Philippine Red Cross, said in a telephone interview that at least 13 people, including three members of the Philippine Coast Guard...
