The Vatican said in a statement the pope would meet on Thursday with DiNardo, Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley of Boston, and two USCCB officials.

Russia-linked professor who promised Trump campaign 'dirt' on Hillary Clinton 'may be deceased', court toldA missing Maltese professor who promised the Trump campaign "dirt" on Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the presidential election may be dead, a US court has been told. Joseph Mifsud, a former teaching fellow at Stirling University, held meetings in 2016 with George Papadopoulos, a former Trump administration foreign policy adviser who was jailed last week for lying to the FBI, including over his connections to the 57-year-old professor.

Cambodia opposition leader released from prison on bail

Posted: 10 Sep 2018 04:10 AM PDT

Cambodia opposition leader released from prison on bailCambodia's opposition leader Kem Sokha was released from jail early Monday a year after he was detained on treason charges, as the country's strongman ruler loosens his grip on opponents after sweeping one-sided elections. Over a 33-year rule, the wily Hun Sen has tightened and relaxed his chokehold on opponents at will, most recently launching a broad crackdown in the run-up to July elections that gifted his ruling party an uncontested victory. As part of that action Kem Sokha, the head of the only serious opposition the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), was arrested on September 3, 2017, and accused of treason.

Brussels will not turn Hungary into 'country of migrants', rages Viktor Orban

Posted: 11 Sep 2018 08:14 AM PDT

Brussels will not turn Hungary into 'country of migrants', rages Viktor OrbanViktor Orban warned he would never allow Brussels to transform Hungary into "a country of migrants" on Tuesday, ahead of an unprecedented vote tomorrow in the European Parliament that could strip Budapest of its EU voting rights. MEPs will vote on whether to trigger "Article 7", an EU law drafted to ensure respect for democracy and the rule of law, amid fears that Mr Orban is turning Hungary into a dictatorship.  "You believe you know better than the Hungarians themselves," Mr Orban told MEPs, after arriving late at Tuesday's debate. "Hungary will be condemned because Hungarians have decided their country is not going to be a country of migrants." Hungary will become the first country to face the procedure because of a European Parliament vote, if it is passed by the required two-thirds majority. Poland is also undergoing the Article 7 process, but in its case this was triggered by the European Commission rather than a parliament vote. National governments must back any action and Budapest has already vowed to veto any punishment levied on Warsaw.   Mr Orban is at loggerheads with Brussels over mandatory migrant relocation quotas, as well as laws in Hungary cracking down on NGOs, the media and the Central European University. In an incendiary speech that exposed deep EU divisions, he claimed the "verdict was already written" by a "pro-migration majority", despite his Fidesz party being a member of the European Peoples Party (EPP), the largest parliament group. "We will protect our borders and we will decide who to live together with. We have built a fence and we have stopped illegal migrants. Hundreds of thousands of them. We have defended Hungary and we have defended Europe," he said. "This is the first case in the history of Europe when a community has condemned its own border guard," he added.  Perceived share of immigrants in national population "Thank God there is at least one European leader prepared to stand up for his principles, his culture, his nation and his people in the face of such extreme bullying," said Nigel Farage, the MEP and former Ukip leader. "Come and join the Brexit club. You'll love it," he said, after telling Mr Orban he was at a "show trial". Merkel's migration tensions | Read more There is speculation that EPP support for Mr Orban is splintering but British Conservative MEPs will vote against Article 7 because it "infringes the sovereignty of a member state".  "Will you ensure that the values of this Union are more than just words written on a piece of paper?" asked Judith Sargentini, the Dutch Green MEP who wrote the parliament report that will be voted on. Mr Orban echoed Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras and Guy Verhofstadt, the federalist MEP, in predicting that next May's European Parliament elections would be a battle between pro-EU and anti-migrant, nationalistic parties.

Exclusive: Venezuela signs oil deals similar to ones rolled back under Chavez - documentThe effort signals that President Nicolas Maduro, who is struggling under a hyper-inflationary economic meltdown and fast-declining oil output, is willing to reverse the aggressive efforts of his predecessor - who died in 2013 - to expand the state's role in the energy industry of the OPEC nation. The government had already announced a vague plan to boost oil output with the help of seven companies. The plan was described during a televised event on Aug. 28 in which representatives of those companies, during a ceremony including Maduro, signed "joint service agreements" with PDVSA.
