FIGHTING AND THROWING AT DONALD TRMP'S RALLY SIDE:
After watching a
couple of fights and drink throwing incidents off to the side of his speech he
claims that his Rally's are the safest places. Well maybe not for those people
involved in the disturbances. They sure do have loud and excited crowds at his events
and lots of police and Secret Service agents.
GERMAN CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL DEFENDS HER OPEN-DOOR REFUGEE POLICY:
The German
Chancellor interrupted her summer holidays to defend her open-door refugee
policy following recent attacks in Germany.
At a press conference Angela Merkel expressed her sorrow about the recent killings in Germany and elsewhere, but stood by her policy on accepting asylum seekers saying:
“The terrorists want to make us lose sight of what is important to us, break down our cohesion and sense of community as well as inhibiting our way of life, our openness and our willingness take in people who are in need.”
Although she admitted that integration posed a challenge she repeated her mantra ‘Wir schaffen das’, ‘We can do this’.
Critics have attacked Merkel’s decision to allow refugees to enter the country, saying there were insufficient checks. She announced that there must be an early alert system during the asylum process, adding the government must take the ‘challenge of integration very seriously’.
More details to follow.

ISIL LEADER IN AFGHANISTAN KILLED BY AMERICAN DRONE STRIKE:
US defence officials
believe ISIL’s leader in Afghanistan and Pakistan has been killed in an
American drone strike.
Hafiz Saeed Khan is said to have died on July 26 along with his senior commanders and fighters in Nangharhar province.
His death, announced by Omar Zakhilwal, the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, was later confirmed by an US defence official although no formal announcement has been made.
It would strike a blow to ISIL’s efforts to expand its control in the region where the group is challenging fellow insurgents, the Taliban.

Khan’s death would also mark the second US killing of a prominent militant in the region within months. In May, a US drone killed Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour in a strike in Pakistan.
Khan has been reported dead before. Last year, Afghan intelligence agents claimed he had been killed, but the report was never confirmed.

TURKEY GIVERNMENT ISSUES ARREST WARRANT TO TURKISH MMOST FAMOUS FOOTBALL PLAYER HAKAN SUKUR:
An arrest warrant
has been issued for one of Turkey’s most celebrated football players – former
international striker Hakan Sukur.
A seizure of his assets has also been ordered, as part of an investigation into last month’s failed coup.
Sukur, a former member of parliament, lives in America. His father has already been detained.
Prosecutors accuse Sukur of “being a member of an armed terror group,” a reference to the organisation of the US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Ankara says was behind the abortive putsch. Gulen denies the accusation.
After football, Sukur went into politics and was in 2011 elected to parliament for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party. He resigned in 2013 after a corruption probe that targeted Erdogan and his innser circle, siding with the movement of Gulen.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, officials and others have been dismissed or arrested in Turkey since the failed coup.
Sukur is one of a number of people still being sought by Turkish authorities.
“One-hundred-and-sixty-two soldiers are at large, including three military attaches. We are searching for them,” said Fikri Isik, Turkey’s defence minister.
“Three military attaches are abroad. One of them is the military attaché in Bosnia Herzegovina. The other two are the military attaches in Greece. We know that they went to Italy.”
American officials have said that a Turkish military officer on a US-based NATO assignment is seeking asylum after being recalled by the government.
There is a fear that President Recep Tayyip is using the failed coup and purge to tighten his grip on power.

CHINA IS SINKING UNDER NATIONWIDE HEAVY FLOOD:
China has again been
battered by nationwide severe storms.
Nearly 60 millimeters of rain fell in just three hours in Yulin City, in the north west.
