The parents of five-year-old Ashya King have left a Madrid prison after a Spanish judge ordered their immediate release. The couple were separated from their son following a two-day Europe-wide search after they removed him from a British hospital against medical advice. “I have to go and see my son,” said the boy’s father after being released. “So thank you Spain for helping us, thank you to England for helping us and we’ve only got positive things to say about everything.” Ashya suffers from a brain tumour. His parents want him to receive pioneering treatment abroad not available from Britain’s health service. The high-profile case of the parents’ arrest and separation from their son prompted British Prime Minister, David Cameron, to call for “an outbreak of common sense” amid widespread condemnation in the country’s media of the British police’s pursuit of the couple.   Less

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA—The stars of North Carolina’s Moral Mondaysmovement took the stage on Labor Day at Charlotte’s Marshall Park to condemn the state’s record on voter suppression and racial profiling, and urge the community to organize and turn out at the polls this November. Just a few hundred feet away, police cuffed and arrested local LGBT activist and former State Senate candidate Ty Turner as he was putting voting rights information on parked cars. “They said they would charge me for distributing literature,” Turner told ThinkProgress when he was released a few hours later. “I asked [the policeman] for the ordinance number [being violated], because they can’t put handcuffs on you if they cannot tell you why they’re detaining you. I said, ‘Show me where it’s illegal to do this.’ But he would not do it. The officer got mad and grabbed me. Then he told me that I was resisting arrest!” Much longer story here: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/09/02/3477768/police-arrest-young-black-politician-at-moral-mondays-rally/   Less

Atypical news story - A Seattle woman is accused of raping her neighbor as he slept after a party. The victim shoved the 240-pound woman, later identified as 26-year-old Chantae Gilman, off of him when he woke up to her having sex with him, according to the Seattle P-I. She apparently broke into the 31-year-old's apartment on June 16, 2013 after a birthday party. It wasn’t until recently that a sample of DNA taken from the victim was analyzed. Gilman was linked to the crime, but she is apparently undergoing drug treatment, a neighbor told KOMO-TV. A Facebook page that appears to belong to Gilman frequently notes her sporadic sobriety. "I've got 2 months pregnant and I'm 31 weeks pregnant," Gilman apparently wrote on Aug. 5. An arrest warrant was issued for Gilman, a mother of four other children who is reportedly pregnant with another child. Court documents show Gilman held the victim down during the alleged rape and told him to be quiet. He managed to push her out of his west Seattle apartment. He then described Gilman as “a drug user in the area.” In the past, Gilman had been treated for mental health issues and drug abuse. She's also pleaded guilty in 2006 and 2008 to criminal charges, court records show. She reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder and another mental illness, the TV station reported. During an undated interview, Gilman reportedly told investigators she didn’t remember having sex with the man or being at his home, the P-I wrote.

A high-profile appearance by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has reignited speculation that she may run for the White House for a second time. Addressing a 10,000-strong crowd at a Democrat meeting in Iowa on Sunday, she said she hadn’t yet decided whether to declare her candidacy for the 2016 US presidential campaign. “Well, it is true I am thinking about it,” Clinton said to applause from the audience. “But for today that is not why I am here, I’m here for the steak.” ‘The Steak’ being an annual steak fry fundraiser organised by Senator Tom Harkin, who is retiring next year. Clinton was joined at the event by her husband and former president Bill, who served two terms in the 1990s. Mrs Clinton recently told another public forum to expect her decision in January. In 2008, she stood down as a presidential candidate which allowed Barack Obama to win the White House. The release of her memoirs ‘Hard Choices’ earlier this year caused pundits to suggest the book was laying the foundations for a 2016 election campaign.   Less

Across the world rallies have been held to draw attention to climate change ahead of a UN summit tomorrow in New York. High profile supporters including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and former US Vice-President Al Gore joined a march along Central Park in the city. “Climate change is the defining issue of our time and there is no time to loseä, said Ban Ki-Moon, “if we don’t take action now we’ll have to pay much more.” Marches also took place in cities across Latin America including Rio de Janeiro, with hundreds of people chanting “change, change, change”. In Berlin organisers said they want to make sure that the issue is does not get lost among all the other problems in the world. “We believe that the UN climate summit in New York is a crucial one”, said one of the organisters, Rene Schaar, “that is why we want to send a political message. We want to be heard and show the politicians that something has to be done for climate protection.” In Belgium, Sunday was a car-free zone in the capital Brussels to highlight the issue. Over a thousand people also marched to the Foreign Affairs Ministry to hand over a petition signed by one-and-a-half million people. In a show of unity on the other side of the globe, thousands of people took to the streets of Melbourne in Australia. Some of them marched to the Cairns Convention Centre where ministers and bankers are attending a G20 summit.   Less

Protesters demanding action on climate change have marched through London to parliament. Amongst the crowd were high profile celebrities, such as actress Emma Thompson, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and musician Peter Gabriel. “Well I have been convinced, and I have been pretty rubbish about being green in my own life, but in recent months I am now certain that this is a very real threat to our own survival and that we are blindly ignoring it at our peril,” said former Genesis vocalist, Peter Gabriel. “Quite a lot of us, especially our government, have been playing a gigantic and deadly game of grandmother’s footsteps with climate change and now that grandmother has turned around and is chasing us,” said Emma Thompson. There have been 2,000 demonstrations against climate change around the world. In New York UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio “Messenger of Peace” ahead of a major climate summit on Tuesday, set to be the largest gathering of world leaders on climate change in history. Heads of state and government will join leaders from business and civil groups to announce new commitments and actions to address climate change.   Less

National Day dawned in Hong Kong bringing with it high expectations of the largest demonstration yet to be organised by pro-democracy protesters. The territory’s official ceremony to mark the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949 was attended by Hong Kong’s current leader CY Leung – the man protesters want to stand down. They see him as kowtowing to Beijing’s plans to vet candidates for the next leadership election in 2017 Eighteen-year-old student Dennis Wong believes the Hong Kong government must listen: ‘If a country does things that are right and its people are convinced, people will celebrate on the country’s birthday. But now this is not the case. Even though it’s National Day, many people are standing up and telling this government we are not satisfied with you.” ‘I want to tell people in China that no matter what, Hong Kong people want to maintain One Country, Two Systems, and we want freedom and democracy,’ said 20-year-old waitress Angel Leung. There is little sign of the campaign flagging – quite the reverse – more than 100.000 people are expected to turn up Wednesday night. But beneath the apparent confidence there is anxiety as to what will happen when patience on the mainland runs out.   Less

A Taliban suicide bomber targeted an Afghan army bus on Thursday, killing three people and wounding ten. It is the fourth high-profile attack in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul since the begining of the week when the new president was sworn in. On Wednesday, two suicide attacks on army buses left at least seven people dead, and on Monday seven people died when the international airport was attacked Local shopkeeper Mahmood Ahmadi described the aftermath of the attack, saying:“The suicide bomber hit the army bus, pieces of human flesh were on the streets, there was damage done to the homes in this area, our windows and the neighbourhood’s windows were all broken.” The Taliban has declared war on the new government. President Ashraf Ghani was inaugurated on Monday after months of deadlock in an agreement to power share with his former rival. He has also signed a deal that will allow US forces to stay in the country, something his predecessor had refused to do.   Less

The President of Kenya has arrived at the International Criminal Court (ICC). He is the first sitting world leader to appear before the Hague-based court where he faces charges of crimes against humanity. The high-profile case is a major test for the ICC which has a string of collapsed cases and been accused of singling out Africans for prosecution. President Uhuru Kenyatta denies charges of co-orchestrating violence in which twelve hundred people were killed after Kenya’s election in 2007. Kenyatta has been accused of inciting tribal gangs from who butchered people using machetes and bows and arrows. The court postponed the trial last month after prosecuters said the Kenyan government blocked access to key documents.   Less

**BURKA BANDIT** Serial Bank Robber STRIKES AGAIN =

A bank robber in New Jersey is using a burqa disguise as a means to commit a string of heists because police and bank personnel are too politically correct to stop the thief. Audubon police report the robber is a male who wears a full black burqa that is typically worn by Islamic women, which poses a problem for apprehension. Offices can’t seem to strike a balance between nabbing the crook while not profiling Muslims who wear burqas in banks, according to New Jersey news source NJ.com. Customers seem to agree with the police’s political correctness. Alicia Manfredi belongs to Beneficial Bank — the latest target by the burqa bandit — and told KYW-TV, “What are you supposed to do, what are you supposed to say? Take that off’? ‘Let me see what’s underneath that burqa?”Despite the fact that it’s disrespectful in itself for a man to dawn an Islamic woman’s religious garb, this thief is clearly taking advantage of tellers who would rather not be discriminatory than to ensure their own safety and assets of the financial institution. Police have fought against claims of profiling for years and seem to back down in many cases to protect the sensitivities of those who cry foul for personal gain or to evade charges. However, Detective Robert Ferris working the burqa bandit case noted, “We’re not going after or looking at profiling other people that are wearing Muslim attire, we’re specifically looking for this one person,” KYW reported. After the burqa-donned suspect hit a bank Wednesday by handing the teller a note that demanded cash, he managed to get away on foot before the dye pack in the money bag exploded and the suspect dropped the cash and ran off penniless. Good thing dye packs discriminate since it seems to take an inanimate object to recover goods and not trained professionals with a specific job to do. The suspect is believed to be involved in two other New Jersey bank robberies where witnesses from all three heists described him as a light-skinned male dressed in a black robe and head covering, not worn correctly.   Less

Police and Palestinian demonstrators have again clashed in Jerusalem following morning prayers at al-Aqsa mosque. Police were attacked with rocks and petrol bombs before chasing the crowd back towards the mosque. An unknown number have barricaded themselves inside. Palestinians are angry that orthodox Jews were allowed to gather on Temple Mount for the Sukkot religious festival after a city ruling on Sunday. The orthodox visit went ahead, following which all the approaches to the mosque were sealed off. The Palestinian Authority condemned the fact that among the orthodox visitors was a high-profile Likud member of parliament who Palestinians see as an extremist colonist. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, on a two-day visit to the Palestinians condemned what he called “repeated provocations in Jerusalem’s holy places”, and added he was opposed to Israel’s “continuing colonisation” and settlement expansion. He called on both sides to resume peace talks immediately.   Less

Pakistan and India call off border ceremony after attack

In Lahore, mourners prepared to lay their loved ones to rest the day after a deadly suicide attack at a border crossing between India and Pakistan. More than 50 people were killed and many more injured by the blast. The Pakistani Taliban and two other militant groups claimed responsibility for the attack. Mohammad Riaz, who lost five relatives in suicide attack, said: “They went to see the flag ceremony at the Wagah border.” He added that “these oppressors are not Muslims they are heretics. They don’t deserve to live in this world, the government has to finish them off”. The Wagah crossing is a high-profile target as the only road crossing between the two neighours. It attracts hundreds of people to watch the flag-lowering ceremony as the border closes every day. India and Pakistan decided to suspend the daily military ritual for three days to allow for mourning. It marks the first time the ceremony has been called off since the two countries went to war in 1971. Trading was also suspended for at least two days (according to custom officials cited in The Times of India) and security has been tightened around Punjab. Police turned away bus loads of tourists on their way to watch the Wagah border ritual. The attack is the deadliest in Pakistan since the army launched a campaign to oust the Pakistani Taliban in North Waziristan along the Afghan border in June.   Less
