Somalia's police chief and intelligence chief have both been fired after an al-Shabaab siege
of a hotel in the capital, Mogadishu, left at least 27 people dead.
The country's minister of information confirmed the dismissals and told VOA "What was expected
of the security agencies was that the necessary intelligence and surveillance information
should have stooped this truck."
It will be the second time the two officials were fired from the same positions.
A pre-dawn Taliban attack in northern Afghanistan has killed at least 13 government forces.
Officials reported the heavily armed insurgents raided a police outpost in the Khan Abad district

police personnel, [and their] including their commander, and left an insurgent fighter dead.
The Taliban said the insurgents also captured the security outpost.

In a televised speech, he announced his resignation as of the 1st of November.
He asked parliament to dissolve the position of president and distribute its duties among
the Kurdish prime minister, parliament and the judiciary.

The U.N. Children's Fund is warning that potentially life-threatening malnutrition is soaring among
Rohingya refugee children who have fled to Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, to escape violence
and abuse in Myanmar.
Correspondent Lisa Schlein reports for VOA from Geneva.
The U.N. Children's Fund does not know the extent of acute malnutrition among Rohingya
child refugees.
So, UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado says a nutrition survey is underway that will provide
vital data when it is completed in November.
"What we already know is that the combination of malnutrition, sanitary conditions, and
disease in the refugee settlements, is potentially catastrophic for children."
More than 600,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Cox's Bazar since August 25 to escape violence
and persecution in Myanmar's Northern Rakhine State.
Children comprise nearly 60 percent of the refugees.

Tensions is high in a remote village in western Kenya after the body of an elderly man was
discovered Sunday in a farm.
Mohammed Yusuf reports for VOA from Koguta, Kenya.
The body of an elderly man lies on the ground outside Koguta village surrounded by angry
men armed with spears, machete, bows and arrows.
They are angry about the killing.
The death of the man came a day after two communities promised to end their hostilities
caused by months of political uncertainty.
Koguta sits between the Kalenjin community that supports President Uhuru Kenyatta and
the Luo community that is loyal to opposition leader Raila Odinga.
The brother of the victim says enemies are trying to push the Luo off their ancestral
land.
"They do not want us here.
This is where I was born and my father was born here.
These people came here just the other day.
They have not been here even for three years.
They are the ones who have killed by brother."

Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga is demanding a new presidential election within 90 days.
He says the country is in "grave danger" from political violence.
He spoke to the Associated Press three days after he boycotted Thursday's re-run of the
August election, whose results were themselves thrown out by the Supreme Court because of
irregularities.
Odinga called Thursday's voting invalid because President Uhuru Kenyatta faced no opposition.
He said the president is trying to destroy other institutions of governance in Kenya.

In Nairobi Monday, Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission announced that incumbent
President Uhuru Kenyatta had won the re-run presidential election.
Wafula Chebukati is the chairman of the commission.
"Uhuru Kenyatta 7,483,895."
The commission said Kenyatta got just over 98 percent of the vote.
Turnout for Thursday's voting was just under 39 percent of the country's 19.6 million registered
voters.
The October vote was a re-run of the August presidential election in which voter turnout
was 80 percent.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga had called on his supporters to boycott the vote and
indeed protesters blocked polling stations from opening in some opposition strongholds.
Kenyatta was declared the winner of the vote, but the results were thrown out of the August
election by the Supreme Court because of irregularities in the transmission of results.
The White House went on the defensive Monday, trying to distance President Trump from charges
filed against two former campaign aides by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in connection
with the probe into Russia's attempt to influence last year's presidential election.
The two are former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his longtime business associate
Rick Gates.
They were named in a 12-count indictment released Monday charging money laundering, tax evasion
and other violations.
They pleaded not guilty Monday in a federal court in Washington.
The White House emphasized the indictment made no mention of Trump or of any collusion
between his campaign and Russia

The World Meteorological Organization reports greenhouse gas emissions in Earth's atmosphere
have reached the highest level in 800,000 years.
Correspondent Lisa Schlein reports for VOA from the launch of the WMO's annual Greenhouse
Gas Bulletin.
The report has been released in advance of next week's U.N. climate change negotiations
in Bonn, Germany.
It is meant as a wake-up call to nations that time is running out to take the necessary
actions to prevent global warning.
WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas says this is already occurring.
"We have far exceeded this natural variability that took place in the past and we are giving
extra energy for our planet.
And we have already started seeing a growing amount of natural disasters related to weather."
The report finds CO2 contributes more than 60 percent to the heating of the planet and
that human activity and natural climate variability are behind the substantial increase.
Lisa Schlein, for VOA news, Geneva.
The United States has pledged up to $60 million to support counterterrorism efforts by nations
in Africa's Sahel region.
The funding was announced Monday by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
It will support the Group of Five Sahel Joint Task Force, a military unit set up by Burkina
Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger earlier this year.
President Trump says American special forces have captured a militant allegedly involved
in the deadly 2012 attack of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
In a White House statement, he said, "Our memory is deep and our reach is long, and
we will not rest in our efforts to find and bring the perpetrators of the heinous attacks
in Benghazi to justice."
Trump said he authorized the operation that led to the capture of Mustafa al-Imam in Misrata
on the northern coast of Libya.
Details of the operation are unavailable.
He is in American custody, al-Imam is.
He is on his way to the United States for a likely trial.
An American court has blocked President Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military.
The judge, however, did not block a ban on funding for sex reassignment surgery.
The case was brought by a group of transgender service members who asked the court to block
the ban while it considers whether it violates their constitutional rights.
In his tweets, Trump said he based his decision on what he said were "tremendous medical costs
and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

Hello, I'm Steve Miller.
At least eight people were killed Tuesday and more than a dozen others were injured
when a man drove a rented truck onto a busy bike path in New York City.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city would not be intimidated.
"We have been tested before as a city very near the site of today's tragedy.
And New Yorkers do not give in in the face of these kinds of actions."
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called it a "lone wolf" attack and said there was no evidence
to suggest it was part of a wider plot.
Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga said Tuesday he harshly criticized an election
rerun in which President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner.
Odinga said it should be scrapped in favor of yet another vote and that the opposition
would continue to protest in the streets.
"To cut short the long story of a sham and fraudulent exercise, we reiterate that this
election must not stand."
The opposition leader, who boycotted the October 26 vote, hinted that his supporters could
appeal to the nation's highest court to nullify a presidential election for the second time
since August.
Syrians hoping to return home to Raqqa now face another threat now that the city has
been liberated from the clutches of the Islamic State terror group.
They are being told to wait indefinitely.
Coalition officials say the problem comes from potentially thousands of improvised explosive
devices and booby traps littered across the city, some already taking a toll.
Aid groups estimate that over 200,000 people fled Raqqa since efforts to retake the city
gained steam.

Removed Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont gave a press conference in Brussels just days after
Madrid quashed his declaration of independence.
Jacob Greaves has more.
"Some members of the government traveled to Brussels with me as the legitimate president
to make the European institutions aware of the Catalan problem and to denounce here the
politicization of Spanish justice, the absence of impartiality."
Here Puigdemont said he was not seeking asylum in Belgium - putting to bed widespread speculation.
But he's still chosen a Flemish lawyer with history fighting extradition cases against
Spain.
Spain's prosecutor has called for charges of rebellion to be laid against Puigdemont
that could mean up to 30 years in prison.
Beijing and Seoul have agreed to work swiftly to get relations back on track following a
year-long standoff over the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system in South Korea,
which is known by the name THAAD.
Samantha Vadas explains how that rift began.
That THAAD set up in North Korea has infuriated Beijing, which claims its powerful radar could
be used to spy on China.
But Seoul and Washington insist the system will only be used to protect the South from
a potential rocket from Kim Jong-un.
Last year's rollout of THAAD in the South triggered a heavy diplomatic spat between
Beijing and Seoul.
And for the past 12 months, China has been on a mission to punish its neighbor, cutting
off businesses and cultural links and crippling several South Korean companies operating on
its turf.
China did say on Tuesday that it respects South Korea's security needs.
Seoul also announced at the same time President Xi Jinping and Moon Jae-in will meet one-on-one
on the sidelines of next month's APEC summit, where North Korea will be top of the agenda.
Monday's allegations and disclosure of George Papadopoulos's guilty plea have left Washington
speculating where special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is heading next.
Legal experts expect more charges to be filed as Papadopoulos pleaded guilty.
One of Mueller's prosecutors said that his case was only a small part of a much larger
investigation.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that they believe that the
investigation will wrap up soon.
Thousands of drivers from Uber and cabbies faced off in Brazil's capital Tuesday as the
Senate considered imposing new regulations that the ride-sharing app said would sink
its business in its second-largest market worldwide.
In the latest threat to Uber's global business, senators began to debate a bill passed by
the Congress' lower house in April that would require municipal governments to regulate
ride-sharing apps.
Outside, police used pepper spray and formed a human cordon to separate thousands of drivers
on both sides.
