www.dailystar.com.lb
Great Britain's triumphant Olympic team returned home from the Rio Games in a gold-nosed plane Tuesday, as officials trumpeted their success as the "best sporting achievement" in the country's history. Team GB's Olympic medal haul was its biggest for more than a century, with a total of 67, including 27 gold, putting Britain behind only the United States in the overall standings in Rio. Some of the medalists' families were present to watch them land, along with Hugh Robertson, Britain's sports minister at the time of the 2012 Games in London. Kenny matched British cycling great Chris Hoy's tally of six golds with three wins in Rio, while Trott won two of her own to take her total to four. The U.S. finished with 121 medals in Rio, including 46 golds. ...

www.dailystar.com.lb
Spain's Socialists will vote against the government of acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in a confidence vote Wednesday, party leader Pedro Sanchez told parliament, potentially triggering the countdown to a third national election in a year. Wednesday, Pedro Sanchez, the leader of the opposition Socialists, which trailed Rajoy's center-right People's Party (PP) in both elections, has steadfastly refused to back Rajoy who needs his party's support to form a coalition. Such a loss for Rajoy's PP in the second vote would trigger a two-month window to form a government at the end of which another election would be called, possibly on Christmas Day. ...

A leader behind a spate of recent anti-government demonstrations in Zimbabwe was Monday denied bail when he appeared in court on public violence charges ahead of fresh protests due this week. Zimbabwe has witnessed violent protests over the past weeks, with demonstrators calling on long-serving President Robert Mugabe to step down. The rally – which was authorized by a court – was held to demand electoral reforms before 2018 when the 92-year-old Mugabe will seek re-election. ...

Turkish tanks crushing Kurds’ dream of Rojava
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
At first trumpeted as an operation against Daesh (ISIS), analysts say Turkey's incursion into Syria increasingly looks directed toward Kurdish forces – putting their dream of an independent state along the Turkish border in serious jeopardy. However, they say, without a clearly identified end goal and exit strategy from a tangled and protracted conflict, Turkey may find it has bitten off more than it can chew in northern Syria. For the Kurds the 5-year-old war in Syria has been a historic opportunity. Unfortunately for the Syrian Kurds, Turkey, a country battling its own Kurdish insurgency in its southeast, would like nothing more than to see these aspirations dashed. The SDF, mostly made up of Kurdish YPG fighters, has proved the most effective fighting force against Daesh in Syria, liberating the city of Manbij earlier this month alongside U.S. airstrikes. With this in mind Turkish forces entered Syria in support of Free Syrian Army rebel fighters, which it hopes can provide an effective alternative to the SDF and halt the Kurdish march across northern Syria. Mansour says the Kurds will now likely look to strengthening these positions, especially around the cities of Qamishili and Ain al-Arab, which is known as Kobani in Kurdish. ...

Kerry warns Pakistan over 'sanctuary' for extremists
null

www.dailystar.com.lb
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged Pakistan Tuesday to do more to stop extremist groups operating out of its territory, saying on a visit to India there could be no distinction between "good and bad terrorists". India has accused Pakistan of stoking a new bout of unrest in Kashmir, the troubled Himalayan region which has been divided between the two countries since independence in 1947 and is claimed in full by both. Swaraj said there was "a meeting of minds" during her talks with Kerry on tackling the threats posed by extremists as she reiterated long-standing accusations that Pakistan was sponsoring "cross-border terrorism". ...

Ethnic peace talks seek to pave new path for Myanmar
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Peace talks between Myanmar's government and warring ethnic minorities kicked off Wednesday in a bid to end decades of conflict that have claimed thousands of lives and kept the country mired in poverty. The Nobel laureate has made bridging the ethnic fault lines that have fractured the nation since its mid-century independence a priority of her new government, which took power in March. Bringing peace could rejuvenate economies in the war-ravaged regions, and open up investment to foreign powers who are keen to scoop up its vast resources. Commander in chief Min Aung Hlaing urged ethnic groups to join the ceasefire the previous military-backed government signed with eight groups last year. Wednesday's meeting comes almost 70 years after Suu Kyi's father, independence hero Aung San, signed a landmark agreement to devolve powers to some ethnic groups after independence. ...

Human relative 'Lucy' died in fall from tree, study suggests
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Lucy, an ancient ape-like human relative, met a brutal end when she plummeted from a tall tree, new analysis of the famous fossil suggested Monday – offering a solution to a decades-old mystery. Lucy's upper-arm bones were shattered by the impact of the fall some 3.2 million years ago – a type of trauma also common in car crash victims, researchers from the United States and Ethiopia wrote in the journal Nature. The team found that Lucy, standing a mere three feet, six inches (just over a meter) tall, must have fallen from a height of more than 40 feet to suffer such horrific injuries. It follows that Lucy must have climbed trees, the team said, possibly seeking refuge in the forest canopy at night. ...

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said Wednesday the Iranian-allied Houthi movement would not be allowed to take over Yemen, as he accused Iran of seeking to sow unrest around the region. U.N.-sponsored talks to try to end 18 months of fighting collapsed in failure this month and the Houthi movement and allied forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh resumed shelling into neighboring Saudi Arabia. Speaking to Reuters in Beijing, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said the ball was in the Houthis' court as to whether peace talks resumed. Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies accuse the Houthis of being pawns of Iran and have launched a military intervention to restore Hadi to power. ...

Ericsson: Good opportunities in Lebanon’s telecom sector

A senior Ericsson executive said there are good business opportunities in Lebanon's telecom sector. Alfa and Ericsson introduced 4G LTE mobile data technology in Lebanon this year, but the service has yet to cover the majority of the country. Ericsson Lebanon hosted a conference Tuesday to present a research on Lebanese consumer behavior within the telecom industry. Ericsson Consumerlab reported several key findings providing integral insight for emerging Lebanese businesses, the first being general growth of positivity within the technology sector. This distinction of mobile broadband usage is imperative in understanding the landscape of the Lebanese telecom sector. According to the report, 76 percent of users use less than 1 gigabyte each month. The report said that 46 percent of consumers in Lebanon participate in at least two social networking communities. ...

Lebanon gas potential on par with Cyprus, Israel, Egypt

www.dailystar.com.lb
Lebanon's gas potential off the coast is on par with the discovery of the commodity in Cyprus, Egypt and Israel, a source close to the Petroleum Administration revealed over the weekend. The source stressed that a small fraction of the gas off the coast could run all of Lebanon's power plants 24 hours a day for the next 25 years. "If all the power plants in Lebanon were switched to gas, which is clean and cheap energy, then [the country] can operate all these power plants with 0.2 trillion cubic foot per year under the current energy consumption," the source said. He added that if there was a discovery of 6 TCF in one block, this could supply Lebanon with gas to run all the power plants for the next 25 years, provided that the electricity consumption did not change. The source said one block can meet the energy needs of Lebanon. "Once we start exploring the rest of the blocks, Lebanon will have more than enough to meet its energy needs and this will allow the country to export the rest," the source said. He added that Europe was an ideal export market for Lebanon once the country starts pumping gas from the fields. ...

Central bankers stuck in brave new world
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Governor Haruhiko Kuroda of the Bank of Japan said he saw "ample space" for further loosening of the institution's monetary policy, as he defended the central bank's attempts to bolster growth and inflation via policies including negative rates. The BOJ wrongfooted markets in January when it set a minus 0.1 per cent rate on some deposits that banks place at the central bank. Mr Kuroda said the BoJ's easing efforts including negative interest rates amounted to an "extremely powerful" policy scheme, adding that the central bank would take further action without hesitation if it was necessary to achieve its price stability target. The former Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond economist wrote back in 1999 that negative rates were a feasible option years before central banks started actually experimenting with them. The notion of negative rates is apparently being viewed with scepticism by the Fed, as shown by Ms Yellen, who made no mention of negative rates in her discussion of future policy options. ...

Pakistan court dismisses appeals against new military court convictions
null

www.dailystar.com.lb
Pakistan's Supreme Court Monday upheld verdicts and death sentences in the cases of 16 civilians convicted of terrorism-related offences by military courts, the first time the highest court has ruled on the legality of cases tried by the military. A five-member bench ruled that the appellants had not proved the military violated their constitutional rights or failed to follow procedure, in a blow to some activists who contend the courts routinely violate people's rights. The military has so far convicted 104 civilians in the secret tribunals. Those whose appeals were dismissed Monday included nine members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and two al-Qaeda members, according to Pakistan's military. ...

Press freedom isn’t free, nor guaranteed
null

www.dailystar.com.lb
Two such journalists are Jean-Chrysostome Kijana and Wendy Funes. According to Freedom House, 2015 was the worst year for press freedom in over a decade. It's a different story for the other 87 percent of the world's population. Non-governmental organizations such as Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists have championed the cause of threatened and imprisoned journalists for years. But this good work doesn't address the other major hurdle for journalists around the world: money. Press Start connects funders in rich countries directly to vetted, independent journalists in poor countries, starting with Armenia, the Congo, Honduras, Lebanon and Macedonia. Many of the world's governments are stamping out press freedom. ...

Allardyce sends Rooney back up front
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Wayne Rooney's midfield experiment with England is over, with the Manchester United captain set to revert to playing as a deep-lying forward for the national team under new coach Sam Allardyce. New United manager Jose Mourinho has returned Rooney to the No. 10 role behind the striker, and Allardyce also thinks that's his best position. The player most affected by that positional tweak is Ross Barkley, who was dropped Sunday by Allardyce in his first squad announcement since replacing Roy Hodgson as England coach. Barkley plays in the same position as Rooney at Everton, and has started the season in good form for his club with two goals in four games. Rooney must wait until Tuesday to discover if he is being retained as England captain by Allardyce. ...

Iranians wanting to start a family fight rising infertility, taboos
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
With infertility rising in pollution-plagued Iran, a growing number of couples must navigate the country's web of social and religious taboos as they seek treatment. In fact, the doctors were using Mohammad's own sperm, but he was worried his family might not believe that. This happened to one of his cousins who was born through IVF treatment and later became embroiled in a bitter inheritance dispute with his family. A comprehensive study carried out in 2012 found that 20 percent of couples in Iran were failing to conceive after trying for a year. An estimated 3 million couples are unable to conceive in Iran, but the country only has the capacity to administer around 40,000 IVF treatment cycles per year. Even the Avicenna clinic, which is a public facility, charges about 70 million rials (around $2,000) for one cycle of treatment – around five months' wages for the average worker – and success can never be guaranteed. ...

3-Series: The benchmark for compact executive sedan segment
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
At long last, after nearly two years of reviewing scores of automobiles from numerous different marques, I finally get to review the one car that started it all for me. The original BMW 3-Series may not have been the most glamorous car on the planet, and it was certainly not the most advanced or the quickest, but it was charming. Since then, there have been no fewer than five other generations of the model, and while the car kept growing bigger and more sophisticated, the 3-Series still retains every bit of its original charm and remains just as rewarding to drive. Consider that when you first see a car in the showroom it's pristine – that's the best it's ever going to be, and your first impressions are based on its looks. It's because of those five generations of 3-Series that came before the current one on display in showrooms. What really sells this car isn't how it looks or feels, but how your face looks and how you feel when you drive it. ...

Completing a third consecutive unbeaten run to Olympic gold, the United States captured a sixth Games title with NBA talent in seven tries by routing Serbia 96-66 in Sunday's final. Kevin Durant scored 30 points while DeMarcus Cousins added another 13 points and 15 rebounds as the U.S. squad cruised to a 15th overall men's basketball gold medal, every U.S. player scoring in the romp, in what was the Rio Games' last title decider. The Americans stretched their Olympic win streak to 25 games and overall decade-long winning run to 76 games in the farewell game for coach Mike Krzyzewski. For the game, Durant shot 10-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-11 from 3-point range. ...

Nevada becomes one of Trump's big hopes for swing state win
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Russ Wheeler bears the financial scars of Nevada's lost decade, and he hopes Donald Trump can heal them. Nevada is the most diverse battleground state. Democrats and Republicans agree that the state's competitiveness is not just a quirk of public polling, which has a spotty track record in Nevada, but is reflected in private surveys, the tightness of Nevada's races for the U.S. Senate and House, and the observations of seasoned political operatives. Nevada also has one of the lowest rates of college education in the country, with only 23 percent of its population having graduated college, giving Trump a reservoir of noncollege graduates that traditionally form his base. The stakes in Nevada go beyond the state's six electoral votes in the presidential election. Democrats have a formidable Nevada ground game, with 70,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans to date. Clinton has targeted the state for more than a year, announcing her immigration policy there in 2015 to appeal to Nevada's growing numbers of Latinos and Asian-Americans. The Trump campaign sees the hotel as a net positive. ...

Some 70 civilians have been killed and thousands injured in the worst violence to hit the Muslim-majority territory since 2010 . Two police officers have also died during the seven weeks of unrest. ...

Ronaldo is currentlythe record goal-scorer in the Champions league with 94 strikes.

Yet to begin, Tripoli festival comes under fire

www.dailystar.com.lb
Scheduled to kick off in September, the Tripoli International Festival is already facing criticism. The festival, announced this month, is being supported by Salima Rifi, wife of resigned Justice Minister and Tripoli native Ashraf Rifi. The festival is not without its detractors. While it is Islamists who have been vocal in their objections to a local festival in the southern city of Sidon, the situation in Tripoli is different. Some have said that Salima has politicized the festival, and has been able to do so because of the successes that Ashraf Rifi scored in the municipal elections. Additionally, some have alleged that Salima is usurping the role of the Tripoli Tourism Association, headed by Wafaa Shaarani, which is generally responsible for organizing tourist festivals and events. Others have criticized the name of the festival, saying that it shouldn't be called international, as an international festival should feature more international artists. ...

Man faces 2 capital murder charges in Mississippi nun deaths
null

www.dailystar.com.lb
A man has been arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in connection with the deaths of two nuns who were slain in Mississippi, police said. Rodney Earl Sanders, 46, of Kosciusko, was charged in the deaths of Sister Margaret Held and Sister Paula Merrill, both 68, Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain said in a statement released late Friday night. In the poverty-stricken Mississippi county where the two nuns were slain, forgiveness for their killer is hard to find, even if forgiveness is what the victims would have wanted. Sisters Margaret Held and Paula Merrill were nurse practitioners who dedicated their lives to providing health care to people in the poorest county in the state. Plata said both nuns' religious communities have asked that people pray for the killer or killers. The clinic and the nuns' home in Durant are in Holmes County, population 18,000 . Dr. Elias Abboud, who worked with the sisters for years and helped build the clinic, said it provided about 25 percent of all medical care in the county. ...

Australia unveils 'how-to' guide to fight militant propaganda
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Australia Tuesday released what the government says is the world's first ever how-to-guide for combating extremist propaganda in Southeast Asia, which it hopes will help disrupt local recruitment efforts by groups such as ISIS. About 100 people have left Australia for Syria to fight alongside organizations such as ISIS, Australia's Immigration Minister said this year. Earlier this year, Australian police arrested five men suspected of planning to sail a small boat from the far north to Indonesia and the Philippines en route to joining ISIS in Syria. There have been several "lone wolf" assaults in Australia, including a 2014 cafe siege in Sydney that left two hostages and the gunman dead. ...

Conte concerned over Chelsea transfer stalemate
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Antonio Conte admits Chelsea's chances of winning the Premier League will be damaged if they fail to make any more signings before the transfer window closes next week. Conte has been desperate to add quality and depth to a squad that went stale during their dismal title defence last year, but the Blues boss has so far managed to secure only three new recruits. Conte would like one quality centre-back and a top-class striker, but Chelsea have been frustrated by the huge fees they have been quoted for the likes of Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly and AC Milan's Alessio Romagnoli. With that in mind, Conte was quick to warn his players of the dangers posed by Burnley, who enjoyed a shock win over Liverpool last weekend. ...

The plan saw the garbage removed from the streets after its passage, but earlier this month Kataeb supporters blocked access to the Burj Hammoud landfill, prompting waste collectors to suspend collection. The temporary solution is due to last four years, allowing the government to develop a long-term plan to tackle the country's waste issues. Gemayel denounced the government for failing to reach a long-term plan for the country's waste sector. ...

Tears as evacuation nears for symbol of Syria's revolt

www.dailystar.com.lb
Thousands of rebels and civilians, many in tears, prepared Friday to evacuate the Syrian town of Daraya after a four-year army siege, in a blow for the beleaguered opposition. The evacuation comes after a deal struck by President Bashar Assad's government and opposition forces in the town, which is close to the capital Damascus and was one of the first to rise up against his government. The deal to evacuate the town was announced Thursday by Syrian state news agency SANA. The rebels would have to surrender other armaments to the army. A Syrian source on the ground said Thursday the evacuation could take four days to complete and a military source said the army would enter Daraya. According to the United Nations, nearly 600,000 live under siege across Syria, most surrounded by government forces, although rebels and extremists also use the tactic. ...

Colombia’s FARC rebels face tricky return in peace deal
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
After three decades fighting in the remote mountains of Colombia for a Marxist revolution, 60-year-old FARC rebel Cesar Gonzalez must now return to a society he barely recognizes. A peace deal unveiled Wednesday between Colombia's government and guerrilla leaders will end half a century of war and allow the rebels to set up a political party and seek power peacefully, at the ballot box. But reintegrating 7,000 fighters of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) – many of whom have spent at least half their lives at war – will be a crucial part of making the peace deal work, and it is no easy task. Even for some younger rebels, like 33-year-old Gissella Mendoza, civilian life may be tough. Trained as a medic during her 20 years in the FARC's ranks, she has saved lives, amputating limbs and stemming bleeding from major wounds. FARC fighters here say they are optimistic a binding end to the war is possible but would not flinch at returning to armed struggle if the government shirks on its commitments to protect demobilizing rebels, allow the rebel group to enter politics and invest in rural areas. ...

Pep Guardiola will return to the Nou Camp in the Champions League group stage after his new club Manchester City were drawn against his former Barcelona team Thursday.

Spanish coach Guardiola, who won the Champions League twice with Barca, faced the Catalans when he was in charge of Bayern Munich two seasons ago and suffered a 5-3 defeat in the semifinals. Group E is arguably the most evenly balanced with CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham Hotspur and Monaco. ...

Cuba said Friday it was ready to receive U.S. commercial flights beginning next week and that it viewed their renewal after being suspended in 1961 as another positive step in a growing detente. Josefina Vidal, who heads Cuba's U.S. diplomacy department, said Cuba had confirmed the JetBlue flight, removing the last technical hurdle of official approval. Rodriguez said U.S. airlines would be handled in a similar fashion as the 110 airlines currently flying to Cuba and with equal attention to security issues that were already a normal part of the country's system. Seventeen U.S. charter flights land every day in Cuba, but they are expected to gradually succumb to competition from the airlines. ...

Ex-Istanbul police chief, others detained in anti-coup probe
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Turkey detained a former police chief, several governors and nine journalists Tuesday as part of the probe into the movement allegedly behind last month's abortive coup, according to state media. The Istanbul chief public prosecutor's office issued a detention order for former Istanbul police chief Huseyin Capkin, an unnamed governor and two district governors, after new evidence surfaced in its investigation into the finances of the movement led by U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen. Eight governors, including former Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu, one deputy governor and three district governors had been put under arrest earlier this month as part of the coup probe. Eighteen of the journalists have left the country and authorities are still searching for the remaining eight. ...

Mauro Icardi hit his first goal of the season but Inter Milan's plans for Champions League qualification suffered a second knock in as many weeks in a 1-1 home draw with Palermo Sunday. Inter picked themselves up after the interval, but it was Palermo who found the net first. Napoli squandered a two-goal halftime lead, then scored two late goals to beat nine-man AC Milan 4-2 in a stormy Serie A match which saw eight other players booked Saturday. Sami Khedira settled the game in the 66th minute to extend Juve's 13-year unbeaten run against Lazio. ...

Fresh tans, same old ‘polycrisis’ as EU’s summer ends
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
old 'polycrisis' as EU's summer ends BRUSSELS: The European Union grinds back into action this week after its August break, still dazed by Britain's midsummer vote to quit the EU and facing much the same "polycrisis" as a year ago: a mass of refugees, a fragile economy, hostile Russians and, yes, those Brits, now more awkward than ever. The EU leaders are first preparing for a summit on Sept. 16 in Bratislava – without Britain – that aims to sketch out a post-Brexit future for the Union. Such threats to domestic survival have often spurred leaders to take potshots at Brussels – even if only the British have taken it to the length of turning most voters against the EU entirely. Look again at Merkel, Hollande and Renzi on the Garibaldi, flagship of an EU mission off Libya that is part rescue operation and military deterrent against people smugglers, and a slightly different image of today's EU emerges. The past few days have seen Merkel and a succession of other leaders she has met, including Orban, echo such hopes of joint military structures, indicating one area where EU integration may now forge ahead in response to the British departure. ...

www.dailystar.com.lb
A U.N. torture prevention group said Wednesday it would resume a visit to Ukraine that it had halted in protest over access issues following "positive talks" with the Ukrainian government. Last May, the United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) announced that it had suspended its mission to Ukraine after being denied access to a number of places where it suspected people were being detained and mistreated. The visit will aim to evaluate how Ukraine has implemented recommendations the SPT made after a first visit five years ago. ...

The Tragically Hip, the Canadian rock band beloved for songs about local culture, small towns and hockey, will wrap up an emotional tour with a hometown concert on Saturday, giving fans a chance to bid farewell to lead singer Gord Downie, who has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Known in Canada as simply "The Hip," the band is on what is expected to be its final tour with Downie, 52, who announced his illness in May. Downie's well-known lyrics often make intrinsically Canadian references, such as to the 1972 hockey game series between Canada and the Soviet Union. Bidini's band, the Rheostatics, toured with the Hip in the 1990s. ...

Tensions mount as record numbers crowd French migrant camp
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Tempers are rising among migrants squeezed in record numbers into a shrinking slum camp in France's port city of Calais, where they spend hours in line waiting for food and showers. Two migrants have died in fights within a month, and the future of the sprawling makeshift camp looks increasingly precarious. The prefecture, or state authority for the region, said after a one-day count this month that it found 6,901 people living in the camp. Of the 11 migrants who have died in Calais this year, seven were hit by a car or truck, according to the prefecture. In the camp, supplies are growing scarce, according to two aid organizations, and migrants say they can spend up to three hours in line to get a shower of six minutes. Tesfay is among a record number of children alone in the camp. Migrant numbers spiked when a Red Cross shelter in nearby Sangatte took in 68,000 refugees over three years. In January, the French installed containers in the camp to house 1,500 people, and provided 400 places for women and children. ...

Death penalty failing to deter drug trafficking in Iran -official
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
The death penalty has failed to reduce drug trafficking in Iran, a senior Iranian judiciary official said Saturday shortly before the scheduled execution of 12 people for narcotics-related offenses. Most narcotics are smuggled into Iran along its long, often lawless border with Afghanistan, which supplies about 90 percent of the world's opium from which heroin is made. The United Nations has repeatedly praised Iran's battle against narcotics trafficking but opposed its death penalty. The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in Iran urged Tehran Friday to halt the execution of 12 people on drug-related offences scheduled for Saturday. ...

Audacious ‘Sausage Party’ is a delicious feast
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Anyone even vaguely interested in the very R-rated animated film "Sausage Party" has likely heard whispers about the food orgy. Words can't even begin to do this sequence justice, but you've never seen anything like it in a mainstream studio movie. Co-writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have used their singular and delightfully twisted imaginations once more to concoct what is easily the year's most audacious film – one that's packaged in animation cute enough for Pixar. In the tradition of "Toy Story," "Sausage Party" imagines the lives of the foodstuffs in the local supermarket aisle. "Sausage Party" is just as much a sweet story about belief and faith as it is a vehicle for the filthiest jokes you've never dared imagine. ...

Music, games, pine trees, and, most importantly, Lebanese flags blowing in the wind filled Beirut's Hippodrome Park Sunday as hundreds descended on the area in an attempt to host Lebanon's largest outdoor picnic. Mindwhisk Events and Virgin Radio Lebanon teamed up to host City Picnic in Beirut's biggest open green space. Mezher first approached the Municipality of Beirut to ask for permission to use the Hippodrome, and said the municipality was very cooperative. She also wanted people to realize there are green spaces inside Beirut which are often overlooked. This is the first time something like this takes place," Jacobsen added. Others say they went to the picnic to be surrounded by nature and green space. ...

Brazil's Rousseff arrives in Senate for impeachment showdown
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
Suspended president Dilma Rousseff arrived Monday at Brazil's Senate for a dramatic finale to an impeachment trial likely ending 13 years of leftist rule in Latin America's biggest country. Rousseff, 68, was greeted by cheering supporters as she arrived in the Senate to testify for the first time in her defense, just hours before senators were to start voting on her fate. Rousseff is accused of having taken illegal state loans to patch budget holes. It was unclear whether Rousseff would repeat her explosive claim on the Senate floor that the trial is a coup d'etat aimed at destroying her Workers' Party and restoring the right to power. However, there appeared to be little Rousseff could say to save her presidency. The impeachment case rests on narrow charges that Rousseff took unauthorized state loans to bridge budget shortfalls during her 2014 election to a second term. ...

Turkey's lightning-quick incursion and seizure of Jarablus, coupled with American Vice President Joe Biden, who was visiting Turkey, saying the U.S. has made clear it wants Syrian Kurdish forces to return east of the Euphrates River, made Wednesday a day of broken dreams for the Syrian Kurds. It was presumptuous and naive of the Syrian Kurds to hope that Turkey, which has been fighting the PKK since 1984 and later the YPG, would let them expand in such a way as to encroach on its borders. ...

Washington and Moscow made key steps towards agreeing a new cease-fire in Syria, but a final deal has not been reached, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart said after talks Friday. Kerry explained that U.S. and Russian experts would continue to meet in Geneva in the coming days to pour over a set of unresolved issues in hopes of striking a durable deal. Kerry on Friday listed two main priorities to ensure that a prospective revamped cease-fire holds: responding to cease-fire violations by the Damascus government and checking the rising influence of the former Nusra Front. The U.S. and Russia co-chair a U.N.-backed humanitarian task force for Syria, which has been struggling to ensure access for desperately-needed aid across the country. There was hope that Friday's talks between Kerry and Lavrov might help boost those efforts, but no specific pledges on Aleppo were made. ...

Serena takes burden of history at U.S. Open
null

www.dailystar.com.lb
Serena Williams once again arrives at Flushing Meadows poised to rewrite the tennis record books – if her own troublesome right shoulder and increasingly emboldened rivals allow. With a seventh U.S. Open triumph she can break Graf's record, and continue her march toward Australian Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24 Grand Slam titles. She could also break Graf's record of 186 consecutive weeks atop the world rankings, and surpass Chris Evert for most U.S. Open singles titles won in the Open Era. Germany's Kerber, who defeated Williams in the Australian Open final in January, is just one of the players with a chance to seize the No. 1 ranking if Williams falters. Venus Williams, whose seven Grand Slam titles include two U.S. Opens, is among a handful of former champions among the seeds including 2004 winner Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia and 2011 champ Samantha Stosur of Australia. ...

Love tears Helen McCrory apart in The Deep Blue Sea
null
null
www.dailystar.com.lb
You might not think there's much overlap between Amy Winehouse and the work of playwright Terence Rattigan, chronicler of upper-crust British stiff upper lips. The troubled diva is one of the influences behind Helen McCrory's searing performance in Rattigan's play "The Deep Blue Sea" as a well-off woman who leaves her husband to live – in sin and shame, since it's the 1950s – with a younger man. McCrory says she was determined to find "a more sensual approach". Rattigan, writing at a time when homosexuality was illegal in Britain, based the play partly on his relationship with a man who later killed himself. McCrory has won raves in director Carrie Cracknell's production for her intense and nuanced performance as a woman who knows she has abandoned dignity and good sense, but can't help herself. In the fall, Lewis will be filming another series of Showtime's financial-shenanigans drama "Billions" in the U.S., while McCrory takes the lead in the new British series "Fearless". While many performers struggle to find meaty female roles in film and television, McCrory says she can't complain. McCrory has a confidence she attributes to her upbringing. ...

Tunisia parliament approves new unity government

The new unity government of Youssef Chahed won resounding support from parliament Friday, approving a new cabinet line-up which must tackle the country's pressing socio-economic and security challenges. As Tunisia continues to find its bearings after the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Chahed would also be the North African nation's seventh premier in less than six years. Chahed was appointed prime minister-designate by Essebsi early this month after lawmakers passed a vote of no confidence in then-premier Habib Essid's government following just 18 months in office. President Essebsi is 89 years old, and ex-premier Essid is 67 . ...

Obama expands Hawaii marine reserve in final push on climate

www.dailystar.com.lb
U.S. President Barack Obama will dramatically expand the Papahnaumokukea Marine National Monument off the coast of Hawaii Friday, the White House said, an action that will ban commercial fishing from more than 582,500 sq miles (1.5 million sq km) of the Pacific Ocean. Obama, who was born in Hawaii and spent most of his childhood there, made curbing climate change a central part of his time in the White House, which draws to a close on Jan. 20 . Preserving public space from development has been something Obama can do using his own power, and he had moved to permanently protect more than 265 million acres of land and water even before the expansion in Hawaii. Obama has also sought to use the star power of his office to raise public concern about climate issues. ...
