Question: Oil prices dip on unexpected growth in U.S. crude stocks

SEOUL (Reuters) - Oil prices dropped on Thursday, weighed down by a surprise rise in U.S. crude inventories and by expectations that OPEC and other producers could increase output at a meeting in June.

Brent crude was down 20 cents at $77.30 per barrel at 0041 GMT, after settling the last session up 2.8 percent.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 20 cents at $68.01 a barrel. In the previous session, it settled up $1.48, or 2.2 percent, at $68.21 per barrel.
U.S. crude inventories rose by 1 million barrels in the week to May 25 to 434.9 million barrels, according to data from industry group the American Petroleum Institute, although analysts had expected a decrease of 525,000 barrels. [API/S]
Data from the Energy Information Administration is due at 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, a day later than usual due to a public holiday on Monday.
A possible production increase by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC members including Russia has been in focus, especially after Saudi Arabia, de facto leader of the oil cartel, and Russia have discussed boosting output by some 1 million barrels per day.
OPEC and some non-OPEC members have committed to curb their output by about 1.8 million barrels per day until the end of 2018, and they will meet in Vienna on June 22 whether or not their commitment should remain unchanged.
“With the OPEC meeting still another three weeks away, oil prices are likely to remain sensitive to headlines,” ANZ bank said in a note.
A Gulf source familiar with the thinking of Saudi Arabia said OPEC and its allies aim to continue their agreement to cut oil output by the end of this year but are ready to make gradual adjustments to offset any supply shortfall.

Canada’s main stock index rose on Monday as heavyweight banking stocks bounced back from a recent slip and several industrial miners also gained as Chinese data showed surprising growth.
The financials group gained 0.6 per cent, with Toronto-Dominion Bank up 1 per cent to $65.53 and Bank of Nova Scotia adding 0.6 per cent to $76.43. The group had sold off sharply last week, pressured by declining bond yields.
The most influential movers on the index also included Teck Resources Ltd, which rose 0.9 per cent to $29.57, and Lundin Mining Corp, up 1.5 per cent to $7.45.
The base metal miners gains came as China’s economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter as higher government infrastructure spending and a gravity-defying property boom helped boost industrial output by the most in over two years.
At 11:30 a.m ET, the Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index was up 86.71points, or 0.56 per cent, at 15,622.19. Eight of its 10 main sectors gained.
The index fell on Thursday to the lowest in more than two weeks. The market was closed on Friday.
Gold miners weighed even as the precious metal hit a five-month high on rising geopolitical tensions, with Alamos Gold Inc falling 1.6 per cent to $10.77 and Goldcorp Inc down 0.1 per cent to $20.49.
The materials group, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, was little changed overall.
Marijuana stocks fell from last week’s highs following the introduction of legislation to legalize its recreational use, with Canopy Growth Corp down 2.7 per cent at $9.66 and OrganiGram Holdings Inc off 5 per cent at $2.68.
The energy group climbed 1.1 per cent as oil prices recouped losses, with pipeline company Enbridge Inc. up 0.6 per cent to $56.60 and Suncor Energy Inc adding 0.9 per cent to $41.06.
U.S. stocks are starting higher Monday as investors get back to trading after the Easter holiday weekend. Technology companies are making some of the largest gains and industrial and consumer-focused companies are also rising after the Chinese government said that country’s economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed 12 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 2,341 as of 11:20 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 113 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 20,566. The Nasdaq composite picked up 36 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 5,840. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks edged up 8 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 1,353. Stocks have declined three weeks out of the last four.
Leaders included chipmaker Nvidia, which gained $2.44, or 2.6 per cent, to $97.93, and Google parent company Alphabet, which picked up $10.46, or 1.2 per cent, to $850.64. Among consumer companies, online retail giant Amazon jumped $9.57, or 1.1 per cent, to $894.24 and streaming video company Netflix added $3.38, or 2.4 per cent, to $146.30. Netflix will report its quarterly results after the market closes.
China’s recovering economy appeared to get stronger in the first quarter, as it grew 6.9 per cent compared to a year ago. That was a slightly faster pace than the quarter before. The world’s second-largest economy grew at its slowest pace in almost 30 years in 2016. Policies aimed at tempering the slowdown included higher spending on construction of infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Relatively cheap credit spurred booming property sales. The official full-year economic growth target for 2017 is 6.5 per cent.
Crude oil recouped earlier losses on Monday in subdued trading, but signs that the United States is continuing to add output largely counteracted strong economic growth in China and OPEC-led efforts to cut production.
Benchmark Brent crude futures were down 14 cents at $55.75, after trading as much as 58 cents lower.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 14 cents at $53.04 a barrel, after falling by as much as 55 cents earlier in the day.
Both benchmarks rose last week for a third consecutive week, and were trading close to 12 per cent above their 2017 lows. Speculators in the week to April 11 also increased their bets on bullish performance in both contracts.
But in thin trading due to holidays across Europe, the focus was on indications that shale oil output in the United States was creeping higher.
“All the signs of an ever-growing bull market are starting to fade away, (with) Libya and geo-political tensions easing, but also because the Texans are back and they are pumping like there’s no tomorrow,” said Matt Stanley, a fuel broker at Freight Investor Services (FIS) in Dubai. “If I were OPEC, I’d be pretty worried.”
Although the failure of a ballistic missile launch in North Korea brought some respite, markets were braced for further tensions in the region.
In Libya, fighting between rival factions has cut oil output, but state oil company NOC was able to reopen at least one field and was pushing to reopen another.
U.S. drillers last week added rigs for a 13th straight week, bringing it to its highest in roughly two years. Investors are also pouring money into the industry, suggesting U.S. output gains will continue.
Increasing U.S. output is undermining attempts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major oil producers to curb output and sustain a price rally in a market that has been oversupplied since mid-2014.
While Iran fueled hopes that OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers could extend their output cuts beyond the six-month agreement, Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih said it was too early to discuss an extension.
U.S. crude oil production reached 9.24 million barrels per day (bpd), according to the latest Energy Information Administration data, making it the world’s third-largest producer after Russia and Saudi Arabia.
The increasing production largely counteracted figures showing first-quarter economic growth of 6.9 percent in China. Forecast-beating March investment, retail sales and exports all suggested China’s economy, the world’s second-largest oil consumer, may carry solid momentum into spring.
China’s March refinery throughput also rose to 11.19 million bpd, just shy of December’s record, as margins remained attractive.

Question: She may be the first Muslim woman in Congress

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Scroll for more content...
Rashida Tlaib pulled her brown hair into a ponytail and changed into silver sneakers, a safari hat and a blue T-shirt that said "Rashida for Congress."
Tlaib is running to be the first Muslim woman in the US Congress. But first she has to beat a crowded field of Democrats vying for a congressional seat that hasn't been open in more than five decades.
So, for most of the hot June morning, Tlaib stalked the sun-baked streets of River Rouge, a small city near southwest Detroit, hunting for votes in Michigan's 13th Congressional District.
She noted the noxious smell from a nearby refinery, caught up with a motorcycle-riding classmate from Southwestern High School and commiserated with residents about broken streetlights and the construction of a bridge across the Detroit River into Canada.
No one asked Tlaib about religion, which was present but invisible, like the cool water she thought about but didn't sip because she was fasting for Ramadan.
"It's not about just being out there and flaunting your faith," said Tlaib, 41. "I always tell people that I'm exposing Islam in such a pivotal way, an impactful way, through public service."
Tlaib is one of many American Muslims talking about public service these days. More than 90 are running for office, from local school boards to the US Senate, as part of a "blue wave" of Democrats. At least five of the candidates for Congress are women.
A perfect storm of progressive anti-Trumpism
People who follow religion and politics put Tlaib in the top tier of Muslim American candidates, saying she has as much chance as anyone to break one of the last religious barriers in Congress. The eldest daughter of Palestinian immigrants, Tlaib was already the first Muslim woman in Michigan's Legislature, where she served 2008-2014, before reaching term limits. She's now an attorney and advocate at the Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice.
If you squint, it's possible to see Tlaib's campaign as the confluence of two midterm meta-narratives: the surge of Muslim democrats running for office meets the year of the women, a perfect storm of progressive anti-Trumpism.
Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a political newcomer in New York who shocked the establishment by beating a prominent Democrat in the party's primary last month, Tlaib is taking an "aggressive and direct" approach to campaigning.
"We are basically running the same campaign, with the same platform and with a very similar candidate," said Andy Goddeeris, Tlaib's campaign manager. Both campaigns describe themselves as unabashedly progressive, and, rather than blanketing the airwaves with ads, have taken their message directly to tens of thousands of voters, meeting them on the streets of Detroit or a New York subway station.
But neat narratives rarely match raw political reality.
Several of Tlaib's Democratic opponents are themselves accomplished women. And while Tlaib doesn't shy away from talking about her faith, it's not a big part of her pitch to her voters. Many Michigan Muslims live in Dearborn and Hamtramck, outside of the 13th Congressional District.
And it will take more than a meta-narrative to beat the four other Democrats vying for the same seat in Congress -- a seat held by one man, former Rep. John Conyers, for more than 50 years.
Which is why Tlaib knocked on doors all through a scorching June day, and returned to her campaign office late in the afternoon, looking like she had a pound of sand in her shoes.
Her one respite from the heat: a squirt-gun battle with a young aide named Andy.
Starting at the ground floor
The people who argue that Tlaib may be the first Muslim woman elected to Congress usually make the following points:
One, Tlaib raised more than $570,000 in the first quarter of 2018, staggering political observers and easily winning the money race among her opponents. Goddeeris, her campaign manager, said he expects Tlaib to raise a similar amount in the second quarter.
Secondly, many in 13th District already know Tlaib's name, since she was raised in the area and represented parts of it during her three terms in the Michigan Legislature.
"She's a perfect example of how to systematically build political power," said Zaki Barzinji, the White House liaison to American Muslims under former President Barack Obama. "She's not just jumping into a congressional race out of nowhere, she literally spent more than a decade working her way up."
"It's a lesson I wish our broader American Muslim community would learn," Barzinji continued, "because many folks get frustrated that we don't have representation at the highest levels of politics and government, when we rarely put in the effort to start at the ground floor and work our way up."
The third reason people argue that Tlaib could be the first Muslim woman in Congress has little to do with her. Michigan's primary is August 7 and Republicans haven't fielded a candidate. If Tlaib wins the primary, she wins the race. That gives Tlaib an edge against other strong Muslim American female candidates in other races across the country.
That includes women like Ilhan Omar, who is running to fill Rep. Keith Ellison's seat. Ellison is leaving Congress in order to run for attorney general in Minnesota. Indiana's Andre Carson is the only other Muslim currently serving in Congress. Minnesota's Democratic primary is a week later than Michigan's and Omar will have a Republican opponent in the general election.
The other Muslim women running for Congress are Fayrouz Saad, in Michigan's 11th District; Tahirah Amatul-Wadud in Massachusetts' 1st District, and Deedra Abboud, who is running for the Senate in Arizona.
Hoda Hawa, director of policy and advocacy at the Muslim Public Affairs Council, said Omar and Tlaib are the most likely to become the first Muslim women in Congress.
"They've both run for office before and won. They know how to get elected," Hawa said. (MPAC does not endorse political candidates.)
Running against Detroit's establishment
But before Tlaib can start planning for Washington, she has to beat a field of quality Democratic candidates, said David Dulio, chairman of the political science department at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. The congressional seat had been held by Conyers for 53 years, before he resigned in December amid allegations of sexual harassment.
Ian Conyers, the former congressman's grandnephew and a Michigan state senator, is running to fill the seat, as is Brenda Jones, the president of Detroit's City Council, and Bill Wild, the mayor of Westland, a small city in the district.
"There are so many quality candidates, and each brings different things to the table. Not much would surprise me," Dulio said. "Rashida Tlaib could certainly win this race."
Beating Jones, though, entails defeating much of Detroit's Democratic establishment. The city's mayor, four fellow city council members, as well as powerful pastors and unions are backing Jones.
Tlaib, meanwhile, has run to the left of Jones and the other Democrats, touting her experience as a lawmaker and public interest lawyer battling big companies over pollution. She's been endorsed by the party's progressive wing, including People for Bernie, filmmaker Michael Moore, and Justice for Democrats, the group that backed Ocasio-Cortez in her upset win in New York last month.
Before many people had heard of Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib was already watching from afar, showing a reporter the New Yorker's campaign video last month.
"Rashida sees a lot of herself in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez," said Goddeeris, the campaign manager.
"We feel like we are part of this wave that's coming: unapologetically progressive people who are unafraid of taking on the Democratic establishment."
'Our children are struggling'
Like many Democratic candidates, Tlaib hasn't been shy about taking aim at President Donald Trump. She calls his election the "bat signal" that provoked many progressive women to run for office.
Two years ago, Tlaib was arrested for disrupting a Trump speech in downtown Detroit, where she shouted at him that "our kids deserve better" and encouraged him to read the Constitution.
Tlaib dusted off her bullhorn last week to protest the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the President's travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries. A local news report showed Tlaib breaking up a spat between protesters and onlookers.
In public, Tlaib struck a combative tone on the Supreme Court decision, saying she'll introduce legislation to repeal it if she's elected to Congress.
But privately, Tlaib said the anti-Muslim rhetoric coming from some politicians and the media has taken a toll on her family. A mother of two boys, who are 6 and 12, Tlaib tells a story about seeing a political cartoon of a skeleton in a Nazi uniform saying "Allahu Akbar," the Islamic incantation that means "God is great."
One of her sons heard Tlaib talking about the cartoon and said, "Mama, don't worry, if anybody asks if I'm Muslim I will lie and tell them I'm not."
Tlaib said every time she tells that story to Muslim audiences, a few women approach her afterward and share similar experiences.
"I think there's a sense that we've worked so hard, but our children are struggling," Tlaib said, her eyes tearing. "It's very painful. And so people tell me, 'You gotta win, 'cause if you win, then our kids can see that we belong.'"
"That's the pressure I feel," Tlaib said, "and that makes me work harder every day."
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story suggested Rep. Keith Ellison has already left Congress. He is leaving Congress at the end of his term.

Question: Thane: Case registered against 6 MNS workers for vandalising Gujarati signboards at shops

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

A case has been registered against at least 6 Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers in Vaaliv Police Station for vandalising Gujarati signboards at shops in Vasai, along on Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway 8, as they were in Gujarati.
The incident took place at Sativali, around 47km from Mumbai.
The incident came two days after Raj Thackeray called for opposition unity and a "Modi-mukt Bharat" by 2019.
Addressing party workers at a rally at Shivaji Park in central Mumbai on Saturday, Thackeray said, "The country is fed up with the false promises made by (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and his government."
"All opposition parties should come together to get rid of the BJP-led NDA government to ensure a 'Modi-mukt Bharat'," he said while reminding the audience of the BJP's "Congress-mukt Bharat" slogan.

A day after Dalit youth leader and Vadgam MLA Jignesh Mevani demanded “justice” in the April 16 Ambawadi clash, in which a group of slum-dwellers had clashed with students of a hostel, over 50 leaders of various Rajput organisations met Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama on Tuesday, demanding quashing of FIRs against Rajput community members in Ambawadi incident and clashes preceding the release of Padmaavat.
The representation, made under the banner of Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, has demanded quashing of FIRs against a dozen inmates of the Nayanaba Jadeja IAS Bhawan for their alleged involvement in the Ambawadi clash. While the students involved in these clashes belonged to the upper castes, most of the slum-dwellers were Dalits.
Giving the state government 10 days’ time to act upon their demands, Raj Shekhawat, president of the outfit, referred to the quashing of FIRs filed during the Patidar agitation. “If the state government can withdraw FIRs against Dalits and Patidars, then why not Rajputs against whom FIRs have been registered in the Padmaavat clashes,” he said.
Responding to the demand of Dalits that hostel be shifted from Ambawadi, Rajput leaders said that if the state government failed to provide security to the hostel inmates, the community will hire own security guards.

Islamabad :
A top US official has met with Pakistan’s powerful Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and reminded him about Islamabad’s commitment to eliminate all terrorist groups present within its borders.
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Alice Wells visited Islamabad this week and met with Pakistan’s top civil and military leadership and exchanged views on issues of mutual interest, regional security and cooperation between the two countries. Besides Gen Bajwa, she also met with Finance Minister Shamshad Akhtar, Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua, Chief of General Staff Lt Gen Bilal Akbar and business leaders and ambassadors of other nations in Islamabad.
During her meetings, Wells reminded the Pakistani leaders of their commitment to take action against all terrorist groups on its territory. “Wells discussed Pakistan’s stated commitment to eliminating all terrorist groups present within its borders, as well as our shared interest in building economic and commercial ties that benefit both nations,” the US embassy said in a statement here in an apparent reference to the Afghan Taliban militants.
The embassy said that Wells’ discussion was consistent with the Trump administration’s South Asia and Afghanistan strategy.
President Donald Trump had slammed Pakistan for its continued support to terrorist groups and warned Islamabad of consequences if it continues to do so while announcing his Afghan and south Asia policy in August.
Since then top US leadership, including the defence secretary and the secretary of state, have visited Pakistan to press the latter.
Ambassador Wells’ visit focused on the role that Pakistan can play in achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Afghanistan, the statement said.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, in a statement said Wells appreciated the role Pakistan Army has played in battling the scourge of terrorism.
Wells and Gen Bajwa “reaffirmed the commitment towards the common goal of peace and stability in the region and discussed measures towards that end. Both also agreed on continued engagement at multiple levels,” it said.
Pak SC summons asset details from Musharraf and Zardari
Islamabad: Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Wednesday sought details of former presidents Pervez Musharraf and Asif Ali Zardari while hearing a case on the recovery of losses incurred because of the controversial National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). The apex court ordered that all respondents should declare their properties held abroad as well as foreign accounts and any offshore companies they own in affidavits submitted to the court, Dawn News reported.
The NRO was promulgated in October 2007 by the government of the then president Musharraf. Under the ordinance, cases against politicians were removed, paving the way for many of their return to country. Chief Justice Saqib Nisar also ordered former attorney general Malik Qayyum to provide details of his assets.
JuD chief Saeed launches intense poll campaign
Mumbai attack mastermind and banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed has launched an intense election campaign in different parts of Pakistan urging people to vote for his candidates in the July 25 general elections to safeguard the two-nation ideology and avert a water crisis.Saeed inaugurated the election offices of the Milli Muslim League (MML), the political wing of the JuD, in Lahore, Islamabad, Sahiwal, Sargodha, Faisalabad and Jhang and addressed rallies there during the last one week. The appeal he is making in his speeches is “vote for those who can stop India from building dams on Pakistani rivers so that Pakistan do not face water crisis in days to come, safeguard the two-nation ideology and help Kashmiris to get freedom and make the country a strong citadel of Islam”.
Saeed also promises to provide a “new political leadership’ that will change the destiny of Pakistan.

After the attack in the town of Macerata, the suspect got out of his car and made a fascist salute while wearing a tricolour scarf, according to Italian media.
He was allegedly found to be carrying a gun when he was arrested.
Six people including "people of colour" have allegedly been injured, four of them seriously, media reported.
Police said in a tweet that "the wounded persons are of foreign nationality".
The attack comes a day after a Nigerian asylum-seeker was arrested in Macerata over the gruesome killing of an 18-year-old Italian woman whose dismembered body was discovered in suitcases earlier this week.
However, no official link has been made between the two incidents.
Sky said the shooting started around 11 a.m. (1000 GMT; 5 a.m. EST), and that students were being kept inside schools which are open on Saturday and public transport had been halted.

PARIS (AP) — French police say an 8-year-old girl was killed and at least five people were injured when a driver slammed his car into the sidewalk cafe of a pizza restaurant in a small town east of Paris.
An official with the national gendarme service said the driver was arrested soon after the incident Monday night in the town of Sept-Sorts.
The official said it is unclear whether the act was deliberate. The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to police policy.
An Algerian man drove his car into a group of French soldiers last week, and a truck attack in the French city of Nice left 86 people dead a little more than a year ago. Several other countries have seen cars used as weapons in recent years.

We have all got used to using the new tenners now, but how long before the old school ones are no longer legal tender?
The plastic £10 note is so prevalent nowadays that you may have almost forgotten about the old paper tenner, but if you still have some, time is running out to spend or swap them.
The polymer £10 note came into circulation in September 2017 and at the time, the Bank of England said that the paper tenners will be no longer legal tender early in 2018.
That time is quickly approaching as we are in the last month of them being legal tender, reports Somerset Live .
It is worth noting that if you have a lot to exchange, you may be asked to provide identification, such as a passport or driving licence to trade them in.

Turkey on Wednesday issued a decree that transfers some powers to the president, as the country moves to an executive presidential system following President Tayyip Erdogan's win in last month's presidential and parliamentary elections.
The decree, issued in the government's official gazette, makes changes to laws dating from 1924 to 2017, removes references to the prime minister — whose office has been abolished and replaces them with "president."
Read more: The impact of Turkey's election: Erdogan's sweeping new powers
The changes mean the president can
form and regulate ministries and remove civil servants without parliamentary approval
appoint four members of the Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK), the parliament can appoint seven
draft the budget and decide on security policies
declare a state of emergency for up to six months (such as the one that has been in effect for roughly two years) without cabinet approval
dissolve parliament, but this would trigger early presidential elections

When the changes will come into effect: The changes in the latest decree will take effect when Erdogan takes the oath of office, which is expected to happen in parliament on July 8 or 9.
The new presidential system: In a constitutional referendum in April 2017, a slim majority of Turkish voters approved the presidential system. The constitutional change allowed the winner of the 2018 presidential election to assume full control of the government.
Read more: Opinion: Recep Tayyip Erdogan wins, democracy loses
Term limits: The president is limited to two five-year presidential terms, but if the parliament calls early elections during the second term the president may run for a third term.
Erdogan's rise to power: Erdogan served as prime minister of Turkey, formerly the country's most powerful post, from 2003 until 2014. Plans to alter the system to place Turkey's meaningful political power in his new role were already in motion before his job swap in 2014; before the April 2017 referendum, the presidential role was largely ceremonial. Erdogan was reelected president in snap presidential elections in June 2018, having called them more than a year ahead of schedule. That was the final hurdle to implementing his desired reforms, opposition candidates had pledged to repeal some or all of them if they had won.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? The rise of Turkey's Erdogan In Turkey and abroad, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a polarizing effect. He has been described as a neo-Ottoman "sultan" as well as an authoritarian leader. From his early beginnings campaigning for Islamist causes to leading NATO's second largest military as the president of Turkey, DW explores the rise of the Turkish leader.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Jailed mayor of Istanbul After years of moving up the ranks of the Islamist-rooted Welfare Party, Erdogan was elected mayor of Istanbul in 1994. But four years later, the party was ruled unconstitutional on the grounds it threatened Turkey's secularist nature, and was disbanded. He was later jailed for four months for a controversial public reading of a poem, and consequently lost his mayorship over the conviction.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Leading the republic Erdogan co-founded the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which won a majority of seats in 2002. He was made prime minister in 2003. During his first years in office, Erdogan worked on providing social services, improving the economy and implementing democratic reforms. But some have argued that his premiership was also marked by a religious shift in the political sphere.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Islamist causes While Turkey's constitution guarantees the country's secular nature, observers believe Erdogan has managed to purge the "old secularist guard." The Turkish leader has said that one of his goals is to raise a "pious generation." Erdogan's supporters have hailed the Turkish leader's initiatives, arguing that they've reversed years of discrimination against practicing Muslims.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Surviving a coup In July 2016, a failed military coup targeting Erdogan and his government left more than 200 people dead, including civilians and soldiers. In the wake of the coup attempt, Erdogan declared a state of emergency and vowed to "clean up" the military. "In Turkey, armed forces are not governing the state or leading the state. They cannot," he said.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Nationwide crackdown Since the failed coup, authorities have launched a nationwide crackdown, arresting more than 50,000 people in the armed forces, police, judiciary, schools and media. Erdogan has blamed Fethullah Gulen, a self-exiled cleric in the US and former ally, and his supporters of trying to undermine the government. But rights groups believe the allegations are a means to solidify his power and influence.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Divisive politician While Erdogan enjoys significant support in Turkey and the Turkish expatriate community, he has been criticized for his heavy-handed policies and military campaigns against Kurdish militants following the collapse of a peace process in 2015. This January, Erdogan launched a deadly offensive into the northern Syrian enclave of Afrin, an operation that was widely condemned by human rights groups.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? A new era? Having served as Turkey's president since 2014, Erdogan successfully extended his time in office after winning elections in June. The elections marked Turkey's transition to an executive-style presidency. Observers believe the elections will herald a new era for Turkey – for better or worse. Author: Lewis Sanders IV

Question: B.C. woman recounts ‘feces falling from the sky’

A Kelowna mother and her son were splattered in falling feces as it covered their car and came through the sunroof
A Kelowna woman has conjunctivitis in both eyes, a hefty car detailing bill to pay and a lot of anger after being splattered with feces that fell from the sky.
Susan Allan was in the car with her son in the early afternoon of May 9. She was stopped at the street lights on Spall Road and Bernard Avenue when an unwelcome deluge covered her car and came through the open sunroof.
“We were parked at the lights when the ‘sky poop’ starting falling,” said Allan. “It got all over my car, it got all over (me) and got on my son, inside my vehicle. It was definitely falling from the sky.”
When they looked up they saw the bottom of an airplane as it flew overhead.
“It was just very wet and smelled terrible. I can’t really describe the feeling … it was almost like chunks of mud falling from the sky hitting you in the face,” said Allan.
“My son said that the sensation he got was a cold feeling as it hit his face, then the smell was overwhelming for him and he almost got sick as it was hitting his face.”
They got out of their car and a woman nearby pointed the plane out to them.
“I mean we were covered in it, our vehicle and their vehicle was also hit with the same poop,” said Allan.
That “sky poop” sent Allan to her doctor’s office out of fear of infection or catching something worse. Her doctor’s note shows that she was diagnosed with conjunctivitis in both eyes as a result of “…being inundated with sewerage from an overhead plane, while driving her car.”

Transport Canada states that it takes all reports of possible debris coming from aircraft very seriously.
“Transport Canada is aware of the incident you describe and we are looking into it,” said spokesperson Daniel Savoie
“Each air operator is responsible for ensuring that their aircraft operate safely and in compliance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations. Section 602.23, ‘Dropping of Objects’, states “No person shall create a hazard to persons or property on the surface by dropping an object from an aircraft in flight.” Any operator found to be in contravention of the Canadian Aviation Regulations will be subject to enforcement action under Transport Canada’s mandate.”
As for Allan, she said she waited until this week to alert the media as she has hoped the airport would make it right, but after weeks of no reply she reached out to the media.
“I reported it to them hoping the airport would deal with me without having to go through the news to stop the embarrassment for both of us, but it didn’t turn out that way so I had to go to the news.”
She claims she has been getting mixed messaging from authorities
“I was told that there were three planes that flew over that area at that time, then I was told that there was one plane that flew over that area at that time and now all of a sudden no plane flew over the area at that time,” said Allan. “I believe that the airport should take responsibility for what happened to me and my son, maybe clean out my car and compensate for the infection that I got in my eyes.
“I believe that they owe me an apology for both making me feel like I did something wrong by reporting it, and for it happening in the first place.”
The Kelowna International Airport has not yet replied to a request for comment.

'I never screamed so much in my life': Woman horrified by what she finds in her luggage


Question: Climbers set speed record on Yosemite's Nose of El Capitan

LOS ANGELES — Two climbers have set a speed record for ascending the famous Nose route of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, one of the world’s most technical and dangerous verticals.
Alex Honnold and his climbing partner Tommy Caldwell on Wednesday raced up the nearly 90-degree, 2,900-foot (884-meter) precipice in 2 hours 10 minutes 15 seconds.
The pair broke the previous record set last October by nearly 10 minutes.
Fellow climber Hans Florine, who once held the Nose record, watched Wednesday’s attempt from below. He says Honnold and Caldwell were moving so fast he knew by the halfway point that they would set a record.
Park Ranger Scott Gedimen congratulated the pair, calling them world-class climbers who work tirelessly to advocate on behalf of Yosemite and all public lands.

New York
A 29-year-old Indian national fell to his death while ascending Yosemite National Park’s famous Half Dome trail, the US National Park Service has said.
Asish Penugonda, who lived in New York City, was hiking with friends up the steep north side of Half Dome in the park when he slipped from the cables and fell to his death, his roommate and close friend was quoted as saying by the Mercury News.
The hiker was on the trail’s Half Dome cables, the park service said in a statement. He was hiking with another person during thunderstorm activity around when he slipped and fell.
The cables take hikers up the last 400 feet to the summit of Half Dome, which rises nearly 5,000 feet above California’s Yosemite Valley.
Park Rangers were notified that the hiker had slipped and fallen from the popular hiking route, the statement said. Rangers arrived on the scene and provided assistance to the second hiker.
The Yosemite National Park Rangers recovered the victim’s body last Tuesday.
Asish was a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University and worked as a biochemist with Siemens Healthcare, New Jersey. He was a native of Andhra Pradesh. His friends have created a ‘Go Fund Me’ campaign to help pay for his funeral in Fremont, transport of his body home to India, and assistance to his mother and elder brother, the report said.
This is the first fatality since 2011 from the cables up the granite dome and the first visitor fatality in 2018, according to information from Yosemite National Park. Half Dome is a granite dome at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, California. It is a well-known rock formation in the park, named for its distinct shape. The slope of the Half Dome cables, which are 200 yards long, is about 45 degrees.

Question: Tuberculosis behind him, Thiago Silva aims high at World Cup

represent this text to find a news title for it

LONDON — When Thiago Silva moved to Russia more than a decade ago, tuberculosis nearly derailed his career.
This year, the Brazil defender will be back in the country playing at the World Cup.
The 33-year-old Silva joined Dynamo Moscow in 2005 but soon felt chest pain that needed to be checked out. It was found to be tuberculosis, which put him in the hospital for five months. Russian doctors even considered removing part of his lungs.
"That would have ended my career, I needed guardian angels to take me away," Silva said this week at the Brazilian team's training camp in London. "I was a bit overwhelmed in a friendly we played against Russia this year. It is different for me to play there. I hope I can erase that by lifting the World Cup trophy."
Silva, who now plays for Paris Saint-Germain alongside Brazil teammate Neymar, never played a match for Dynamo but ended up being the captain of his national team at the last World Cup. In Russia, though, Silva may struggle to find a starting position under coach Tite.
Another PSG player, Marquinhos, and Inter Milan defender Miranda have started most of Brazil's matches in the last two years.
When Silva had his health issues in 2005, it was Dynamo coach Ivo Wortmann who stopped the defender from having surgery on his lungs.
"I knew Thiago from Brazil, took him to Porto B and approved his transfer to Russia," Wortmann, who is also Brazilian, told The Associated Press.
Silva's mother, Angela, and his wife, Isabelle, also thought the surgery was unnecessary.
"I told them no one would open my husband up and end his dream," Isabelle said. "I am not a doctor, but no one believed he should go through surgery.

Question: Sousa's budgeting smoke and mirrors

Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa seems like a pleasant person, but he reminds us of a used car salesman whenever he's selling his upcoming budget.
One who doesn't want you looking under the hood too closely while he's making his sales pitch.
On Thursday, Sousa boasted to The Empire Club in Toronto that his fifth budget on April 27 will demonstrate that, "Ontario is the leanest government with the lowest per-capita spending of any province."
Um, that's been true for Ontario governments going back decades.
Since Ontario has the largest population of any province, it also has the advantage of economies of scale when delivering public services.
The Bill Davis Progressive Conservative government, for example, made exactly the same boast in 1981-82 that Sousa made Thursday.
When the Liberals are in power, they always boast about delivering services at the lowest per-capita cost of any province.
When they're out of power, they always blame the party in power for not spending enough on government services. (In fairness, all parties do it.)
What Sousa didn't say is that the Liberals have more than doubled Ontario's debt to more than $300 billion since coming to power in 2003, which has made Ontario the most indebted sub-sovereign (non-national) borrower in the world.
He didn't say the auditor general and Ontario's Financial Accountability Office have warned the Liberals that they have plunged the province into precarious levels of debt.
Sousa claimed the Liberal scheme to borrow even more money from Ontario taxpayers to subsidize the electricity bills of hydro ratepayers -- even though they're the same people -- is "fairer because it doesn't ask today's generation alone to pay the entire freight."
That argument turns generations of fiscally prudent thinking -- that you don't stick future generations with huge bills to pay for today's services -- on its head.
Finally, Sousa repeated, for the umpteenth time, that this year's budget will be balanced, later adding along with "next year and the year after that."
Two problems. First, Sousa's promising to balance a budget that won't come down until after the next Ontario election in 2018.
Second, in 2003, then Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty promised before the election not to raise our taxes.
And we all remember what happened after he won.

Georgia special
The special election in Georgia to fill HHS Secretary Tom Price’s old congressional seat could end with a historic Democratic upset. The Sixth District seat has been held by a Republican continuously since Newt Gingrich won it in 1978, but changing demographics and what’s known as a “jungle primary” are giving Democrat Jon Ossoff a shot at winning today’s vote.
Georgia tea leaves
Spanning wealthier and Republican-leaning suburbs north of Atlanta, Tom Price’s old seat is just the kind of place Democrats would love to pull off an upset. They’d point to it as evidence of excitement in their base, and support from the upper-income Republicans and college graduates who eluded them in 2016. But winning will be tough. We look at data from the 50,000 early votes already cast to gauge the contest.
Custody battle
A lawyer for conservative radio show host Alex Jones says his client is nothing more than a showman. He said it in a Texas court, where Jones is fighting for custody of his children. His ex-wife argues the views and conspiracy theories on Jones’ radio show prove he’s unfit for fatherhood.
Silver lining
Whatever your feelings about tax day, retailers want you to know they feel your pain (or relief). The tax day freebie has become something of a modern tradition as corporations angle for new customers. Here’s a sampling of the companies trying to take some sting out of today by offering big discounts and free stuff.
Church cops
Alabama lawmakers could send a bill to the governor this week that would allow a megachurch to establish its own police force. The bill has already passed the state Senate and is awaiting a House vote. We take a look at why the plan is getting mixed reactions.
Corn sole
Reebok is creating its first shoe made entirely from biological materials. The shoe, available this fall, will have a cotton upper and a sole made from Susterra, a corn-based plastic substitute. It’s intended to be completely compostable, and will even use biologically derived glue to join the pieces together.

Question: B.C. guitarist aims to play for 116 hours, break Guinness record for charity

Local musician will aim to break Guinness record at River Rock Casino Resort, starting May 7
A Vancouver-area musician named Spirit is on a mission to set a record for longest continuous guitar playing.
He’ll attempt the 116-hour marathon session at Richmond’s River Rock Casino Resort early next month, in a bid to raise $10,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
If things go according to plan, Spirit will play guitar staring at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 7 and won’t stop picking until 11 p.m. Saturday, May 12. Guinness-mandated rules allow for a five-minute break every hour, and Spirit can bank that time.
“There’s no ‘if’ here, it’s happening,” Spirit says in a promo video posted to the casino’s Facebook page. “I’ve already completed it in my mind.”
CLICK HERE to watch the video.
According to Guinness, the record for longest marathon playing guitar by an individual is 114 hours, six minutes and 30 seconds, a feat achieved by Irish musician David Browne at a Dublin bar in 2011.
After seeing video of Browne in action, Spirit set out to break the record, with a charitable twist.
Both of his parents died from cancer-related illnesses, said the former Surrey resident, who now lives in Delta.
“After witnessing (that) and being part of that personally, it hit me, because it (cancer) could lie in my genes,” Spirit says in the casino’s promo video.
• READ MORE: Spirit, Surrey’s skilled acoustic live-looper, loses his ‘Cool’, from 2016.
For every day Spirit plays guitar during his marathon, Great Canadian Casinos will donate $1,000 to the cause.
The record attempt will include some challenges for Spirit, including washroom breaks and sleep deprivation.
“I’ll always think of myself as a fortunate person,” he writes on a “Spirit And The Challenge” page on the cancer society’s website. “Why? Because I have the opportunity to live my passion by performing music for a living and share this gift with others. As an ‘Acoustic Live Looping Artist,’ I am excited about performing and growing as an artist, but also feel I should give back to society and to my community on many levels as I become more successful. This event will definitely be on a new level for me!”
When performing, Spirit is a one-man band armed with a modified acoustic guitar, vocal mics and an array of foot pedals. His live-looping method involves music created on the spot.
“Everything you hear is live,” Spirit emphasized in a 2016 interview. “At first, people usually think, ‘OK, it’s a guy playing guitar,’ and sometimes they’ll hear other things and wonder if they’re pre-recorded. Well, no they’re not. I build the songs in front of them, and some people get that and others don’t realize what’s happening, that I’m adding layers. There’s a lot going on, and I think it’s pretty unique.”

How did you spend your spare time when you were in high school?
If you’re anything like London’s Ben Heffernan is these days, you were booking time in recording studios and playing opening sets at the London Music Hall.
That’s where you can find Heffernan Thursday when he opens for headliner VACAY, a project by Levi Randall, who’s set to release his new EP Howlin’ Wind. (It features the hit single Moving You which is now tracking more than one-million plays on Spotify).
But let’s take it back to that 16-year-old talent: Heffernan has released a three-song EP Different Wars in March, featuring Never Had Too Much To Say, Fall Apart and Where I Belong. That followed a 2016 that would be considered successful for any artist, especially one who’s still walking the halls of high school.
In 2016, this young singer-songwriter picked up a Jack Richardson Music Award in the youth category, beating out other high school bands and songwriters.
His prize? Along with the hardware and serious vote of confidence, Heffernan was given recording time at Charterhouse Studios.
And the attention didn’t end there: He soon scored a two-hour set at the Western Fair and started to play at more of city’s bigger music venues.
Thursday’s all-ages event starts at 7 p.m., and includes sets from Partners in Health and VACAY. Cover is $7.
--- --- ---
If you’re hoping to hear nothing but the classics, head over to the London Music Club Saturday night.
The Neil Young’uns are back in the city (by way of Toronto) to play your favourite Neil Young songs, taking you as far back as 1966 with Buffalo Springfield, travelling through the 1970s and ’80s with Helpless and Rockin’ in the Free World and on and on.
The band is led by Young look-alike Larry Cariou, who takes to vocals, rhythm guitar and harmonica.
He’s joined by four friends and fellow Young enthusiasts: Steve Whitehorse (lead guitar, bass and sax), Denis Gonzalez (bass, keyboards, banjo), Trudy Binder (keyboards, bass), and Geordie Millar.
Everyone in the band contributes backing vocals, because how can you help but sing along?
Tickets are $17.50 in advance or $20 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m. The music starts at 7 p.m.

To celebrate Canada’s big 150, make your way to see the London Concert Band perform a special show called With Glowing Hearts: Canada 150 at Beal secondary school.

Question: Lava Changing Hawaii Landscape As Health Officials Warn Of A New Hazard

(CBS) — Fast-moving lava from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano forced new emergency evacuations Tuesday night. One of the most active fissures is producing massive lava flows that have cut off major highways, shut down a power plant, and destroyed dozens of homes. The 2,000-degree molten rock exploding from the ground is creating rivers of lava that are literally changing the landscape.
The molten rock forced the closure of Highway 132, a major artery for people who live here that also leads to the main access road for the area’s geothermal power plant.
Plant officials say they’ve deactivated the 11 wells on the property. Two have already been covered with lava and five more are now threatened. Meanwhile, health officials warn of a new hazard called “Pele’s hair.”
As she got ready to leave her home in Leilani Estates for perhaps the last time, Marianne Farrell showed CBS News’ Carter Evans the rocks with glass fibers that can irritate the skin and eyes and lungs if inhaled.
“It’s like glass, it’s fragile, it’s lightweight,” she said of the material that was all around her house.
Kris Burmeister says he’s seen his Leilani Estates neighborhood go from a lush jungle to a moonscape.
“It’s definitely Mother Nature recreating. So we are at her mercy,” Burmeister said.
Because there are so many active fissures right now, there’s certainly no word on when any of the blocked roads might reopen and scientists aren’t giving any prediction on when the eruption might end.

New Delhi, March 20 (IANS) After students demanding jobs blocked movement of local trains in Mumbai, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday said the recruitment policy of the Indian Railways was “competitive and transparent” in line with Supreme Court guidelines.
The protesting students who have passed the Railway Act Apprentice exam were demanding removal of 20 per cent upper limit in the hiring of candidates. They have now called-off their rail-blockade agitation.
Goyal said the government had already reserved 20 per cent posts for those who have completed the apprentice exams and were engaged in railway establishments.
“This has been done as per … the various judgements by the Supreme Court from time to time. Applicants who completed the apprenticeship course have also been given an age relaxation equal to the period of apprenticeship,” the minister said.
He said the Indian Railways were currently in the midst of a massive recruitment exercise and had “come out with a policy to ensure a fair, transparent and competitive recruitment process that follows the law and the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court”.

With so many fabulous restaurants and eateries across the region, it seems impossible to pick one to top them all.
But judges singled out Olive and Vine in Midhurst for the coveted Place to Eat or Drink Award, praising a business formed when its founders took a leap of faith and backed themselves.
