UK calls for UN access to Chinese detention camps in Xinjiang
The call from the Foreign Office was in response to the China cables, a leak of classified documents from within the Communist party which appear to provide the first official confirmation that the camps were designed by Beijing as brainwashing internment centres.
Nato to consider expert panel after Macron brain-dead claim
Nato is expected to consider at its 70th birthday summit a proposal to set up a “group of experts” in response to Emmanuel Macron’s claim that Nato is brain-dead and its collective security guarantee is under threat.
UN calls for push to cut greenhouse gas levels to avoid climate chaos
Carbon dioxide emissions in 2018, also accounting for deforestation, rose to more than 55 gigatonnes, and have risen on average by 1.5% a year for the past decade, according to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) annual emissions gap report.
Global emissions must fall by 7.6% every year from now until 2030 to stay within the 1.5C ceiling on temperature rises that scientists say is necessary to avoid disastrous consequences. The only time in recent history when emissions have fallen in any country at a similar rate came during the collapse of the Soviet Union. During the financial crisis and recession, emissions in the US and Japan fell briefly by about 6% but soon rebounded.

Iran Guard chief warns US and allies not to 'cross red lines'
At pro-gov't rally after deadly protests over fuel prices, General Hossein Salami threatens to 'destroy Iran's enemies'.
Iran will destroy the United States and its allies if they cross Tehran's red lines, the head of the country's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in an address to a pro-government rally denouncing last week's violent protests over the rise in fuel prices.
Amnesty International said on Monday at least 146 demonstrators were killed across Iran since its leaders ordered security forces to stamp out the protests.
The Iranian authorities have warned the "rioters" of severe punishment if the unrest continued. Some politicians have called for the "execution" of the "ringleaders of the riots".
They said late last week that disturbances had ceased, although unverified videos posted on social media after restrictions on internet access were partially lifted suggested sporadic protests continued in parts of the country.
Second night of clashes in Lebanon amid anti-gov't protests
Hezbollah and Amal supporters reportedly attack demonstrators in Beirut and southern town of Tyre.
For the second consecutive day, security forces intervened in a bid to break up confrontations late on Monday between the groups' supporters and demonstrators protesting against Lebanon's political elite.
The violence is threatening to tip largely peaceful demonstrations directed at the country's government and its ruling officials in a more bloody direction.
Lebanon has faced five weeks of anti-government protests, fuelled by anger at corruption among the sectarian politicians who have governed the country for decades. Demonstrators want them all to leave office.
The consecutive nights of clashes have raised fears that some groups may turn to violence in an attempt to break up the protest movement, while displaying the political and sectarian divisions that protesters say they want to put an end to.

Dockworkers in Chile paralyse ports ahead of broader strike
The strike affects shipments of copper, Chile's top export, and other goods as protests over high inequality continue.
by Sandra Cuffe
Members of the Chilean Dockworkers Union began a 48-hour strike on Monday morning, paralysing operations at 24 ports up and down the country's 6,435km (4,000-mile) Pacific coastline. Education, health, transport, public sector and other labour unions are scheduled to strike on Tuesday.
In its strike declaration on Friday, the national dockworkers union emphasised its condemnation of crackdowns on protests by security forces.
Pinera announced on Sunday that his government would present a bill that would permit the deployment of the Chilean Armed Forces to safeguard key infrastructure and police stations without decreeing a state of emergency or other kind of so-called "state of exception". Such a decree would otherwise suspend constitutional rights and freedoms and hand control of public order to the military.

Qatar y Kuwait se unirán a coalición marítima liderada por EEUU en el Golfo
Qatar y Kuwait informaron su decisión de unirse a la alianza naval liderada por Estados Unidos en el Golfo, en respuesta a una serie de ataques contra petroleros, reveló el coronel del ejército estadounidense John Conklin, jefe de Personal de la Coalición.
La alianza marítima se formó después de una serie de ataques realizados este año, lo que representa una amenaza para los suministros de petróleo del Golfo enviados a través del Estrecho de Ormuz. Estados Unidos ha culpado a Irán de los ataques, quien a su vez lo ha negado.
Francia ha pedido una alternativa de seguridad europea en el Estrecho de Ormuz tras descartar la posibilidad de unirse a la coalición liderada por Estados Unidos para proteger a los petroleros y cargueros de las amenazas iraníes.
Decenas de miles de iraníes salen a las calles para expresar su rechazo a recientes disturbios
Los manifestantes, congregados este lunes tanto en Teherán, la capital, como en otras ciudades de Irán —entre ellas Yazd (centro)— denuncian los actos de violencia y los altercados que tuvieron lugar la semana pasada en el país durante las protestas pacíficas por el alza de los precios de la gasolina.
Grupos de alborotadores, apoyados por países extranjeros, entre ellos Estados Unidos y Arabia Saudita, aprovecharon la situación, se infiltraron en las marchas pacíficas y atacaron infraestructuras y propiedades públicas para alterar el orden público y amenazar la seguridad nacional.
