<p>South&nbsp;Sudan's exiled&nbsp;rebel&nbsp;leader&nbsp;Riek Machar on Saturday jetted&nbsp;back&nbsp;to the country for another round of&nbsp;peace&nbsp;talks&nbsp;with President Salva Kiir.</p>

<p>This meeting is expected to come up with a way forward on forming a new government in&nbsp;South&nbsp;Sudan&nbsp;by the November 12th deadline.</p>

<p>President Kiir's government says the unity government should be formed as scheduled in the agreement.</p>

<p>"The meeting was to see the way forward, discuss all the other outstanding issues that are connected with the implementation of the agreement. And among them is, of course, the security arrangement," said Michael Makuei Lueth, Information Minister of&nbsp;South&nbsp;Sudan.</p>

<p>Machar,&nbsp;leader&nbsp;of&nbsp;Sudan&nbsp;People's Liberation Movement-In-Opposition (SPLM-IO), who is currently living in neighbouring&nbsp;Sudan, made his third trip to Juba, the capital and largest city of&nbsp;South&nbsp;Sudan,&nbsp;after he fled to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following renewed violence in July 2016.</p>

<p>Machar held a face-to-face meeting with President Salva Kiir last month where the two agreed to resolve pending issues that have dragged implementation of the&nbsp;peace&nbsp;deal.</p>

<p>Peter Manawa Gatkuoth, deputy head of Information of the SPLM-IO, told reporters at Juba International Airport that the opposition&nbsp;leader&nbsp;wants an overhaul of the security sector before forming a unity government.</p>

<p>"We should unify, train and deploy unified forces. That's why we put it as a condition as the SPLM-IO, to form a government of national unity. We need to solve the issue of security arrangement," said Gatkuoth.</p>

<p>South&nbsp;Sudan&nbsp;descended into conflict in December 2013 after President Salva Kiir sacked Machar, leading to fighting between soldiers loyal to the two&nbsp;leaders.</p>

<p>The conflict killed tens of thousands and displaced millions both internally and externally.</p>

<p>A&nbsp;peace&nbsp;deal signed in 2015 collapsed after the outbreak of renewed violence in July 2016, forcing Machar to flee the capital.</p>

<p>Under the 2018&nbsp;peace&nbsp;deal, Machar will take up one of the four vice presidency positions in the transitional government.</p>

South Sudan rebel leader jets back home for peace talks

<p>In a rather distasteful episode, a German radio host equated popular Korean pop band BTS to coronavirus. The radio host has now apologised for outrage over the statement on the internet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It so happened that the radio host was talking of BTS’ cover of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’ that they performed in the much-talked-about MTV Unplugged episode that recently aired. They first called the cover of BTS “blasphemy” before calling the BTS “some crappy virus that hopefully there will be a vaccine for soon as well."</p>

<p>The German radio host, almost anticipating hatred over the racist statement, also said, "You can't accuse me of xenophobia," he said, pointing out that he has "a car from South Korea" which is "the coolest car ever."</p>

<p>The radio host Matuschik, after receiving backlash said he did not mean to "racially insult" <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/bts">BTS </a>and said linking them to the coronavirus was "completely wrong."</p>

<p>Bayern 3, the radio station, also defended Matuschik, insisting it was not his intention to "hurt the feelings of the BTS fans."</p>

<p>"It is the character of this show and also of the presenter to express his opinion clearly, openly and unvarnished. In this case, he overshot the mark in his choice of words in an attempt to present his opinion in an ironically exaggerated manner and with exaggeratedly feigned excitement, and thus hurt the feelings of the BTS fans," the station said.</p>

<p>Following even more criticism for their statement, Bayern 3 issued another statement, apologizing for Matuschik's statement on BTS and "resolutely distances itself from any form of racism, marginalisation and discrimination.”</p>

<p>At least four people were killed and nearly 50 injured Sunday after police fired on thousands of Bangladeshi Muslims protesting a Facebook post by a Hindu who allegedly defamed the Prophet Mohammed, officials said.</p>

<p>Some 20,000 Muslims demonstrated at a prayer ground in Borhanuddin town on the country's largest island of Bhola to call for the execution of the young Hindu man, who was arrested Saturday over charges of inciting religious tension.</p>

<p>Police said they opened fire in self-defence after some of the crowd threw rocks at their officers.</p>

<p>"At least four people were killed and up to 50 people were injured," police inspector Salahuddin Mia told AFP.</p>

<p>He said extra police and border guards were being deployed in the town.</p>

<p>The death toll is expected to rise, with Bhola Sadar Hospital duty doctor Tayebur Rahman telling AFP at least seven of the 43 people taken to hospital were fighting for their lives.</p>

<p>"We have sent the critically injured people to the regional hospital in Barisal (city). Their conditions are not stable," he said.</p>

<p>Police fired water cannon and tear gas at Hong Kongers who defied authorities with an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/hong-kong-unrest-democracy-crowds-defy-police-after-activists-attacked-257019">illegal march </a>on Sunday, their numbers swollen by anger over the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/hong-kong-protest-leader-left-bloodied-in-street-attack-256296">recent stabbing</a>&nbsp;and beating of two pro-democracy protesters.</p>

<p>Authorities had forbidden the march in Tsim Sha Tsui, a densely packed shopping district filled with luxury boutiques and hotels, citing public safety and previous violence from hardcore protesters.</p>

<p>But tens of thousands joined the unsanctioned rally regardless, as the movement tries to keep up pressure on the city's pro-Beijing leaders after nearly five months of protests and political unrest.</p>

<p>In a now-familiar pattern, the rally began peacefully but quickly descended into chaos as small groups of hardcore protesters hurled petrol bombs at a police station, subway entrances and at Chinese mainland bank branches.</p>

<p>Police responded with multiple volleys of tear gas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At one point a water cannon truck chased thousands of protesters down Nathan Road, one of the city's busiest shopping thoroughfares, leaving it streaked with blue-dye from the vehicle's turrets.</p>

<p>The dye, used to identify protesters, also contains a pepper solution which burns the skin on contact.</p>

<p>Brussels officials on Sunday pressed on with plans to ratify <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/european-union-mulls-johnsons-reluctant-brexit-delay-request-257025">the divorce deal</a> as European leaders considered Prime Minister Boris Johnson's reluctant request for a Brexit delay.</p>

<p>Ambassadors and senior officials from the other 27 members states met Sunday after British MPs forced Johnson to send EU Council president Donald Tusk a late request to postpone the withdrawal.</p>

<p>But Tusk will spend a "few days" canvassing member state leaders, meaning the British parliament will likely have to vote on Brexit again before hearing their decision on the October 31 departure.</p>

<p>"It was a very short and normal meeting of the EU ambassadors to launch the next steps of the EU ratification of the agreement," EU negotiator Michel Barnier told reporters after Sunday's talks.</p>

<p>Diplomats told AFP the ambassadors' meeting lasted only 15 minutes and had dealt simply with EU ratification, although a participant said they had "taken note" of Johnson's letter.</p>

<p>Asked whether he thought EU leaders would grant a delay, Barnier said: "President Tusk will consult in the next days."</p>

<p><strong>Previous deal torpedoed</strong></p>

<p>On Saturday, MPs pushed through an amendment obliging a furious Johnson to ask for an extension until the British legislation governing the withdrawal is drafted and passed. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Johnson, who refused to sign the letter and insists no delay is necessary, plans to bring the Brexit agreement he reached with Barnier last week to a vote on Monday.</p>

<p>MPs will thus have to vote without knowing whether <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/british-pm-boris-johnson-sends-unsigned-letter-seeking-brexit-delay-256989">EU leaders will allow an extension</a>, and if so whether they will delay Brexit as far as January 31 next year, as the British letter requested.</p>

<p>"Further developments on the British side will have to be taken into account," another European diplomat confirmed.</p>

<p>"What was decided on Thursday stays on the table. The British parliament didn't reject the deal, so no need to change course."</p>

<p>And one diplomat took to Twitter to complain that his Sunday morning had been disrupted by British political manoeuvres.</p>

<p>Gregor Schusterschitz, Austria's deputy permanent representative to the EU, sent a picture of the meeting agenda.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What better way at to start a Sunday morning than with a meeting on Brexit... and this in all the uncertainty yet again created by the House of Commons," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>European sources were not sure how any decision on an extension will be made. Tusk could call a special summit next week, but diplomats said he is more likely to use a written procedure.</p>

<p>One European diplomat suggested a summit would only be necessary if British MPs reject the deal next week and overturn the whole process. Any decision, either way, must be unanimous.</p>

European Union moves to ratify Brexit accord despite delay request

<p>United States forces withdrew from a key base in northern Syria Sunday, a monitor said, two days before the end of a US-brokered truce to stem a Turkish attack on Kurdish forces in the region.</p>

<p>An AFP correspondent saw more than 70 US armoured vehicles escorted by helicopters drive past the town of Tal Tamr carrying military equipment.</p>

<p>Some flew the American stars-and-stripes flag as they made their way eastwards along a highway crossing the town, he said.</p>

<p>The Syrian Observatory for the Human Rights said the convoy was evacuating the military base of Sarrin.</p>

<p>It appeared to be heading to the town of Hassakeh, further east, said the Britain-based monitor, which relies on sources inside war-torn Syria for its information.</p>

<p>Sarrin "is the largest American military base in the north of the country," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.</p>

<p>It is situated on the edges of a planned "safe zone" on the Syrian side of the border that Turkey wants to keep Kurdish forces away from its frontier, he explained.</p>

<p>Sunday's pullout was the fourth such withdrawal of American forces in a week and left Syria's northern provinces of Aleppo and Raqa devoid of US troops, Abdel Rahman said.</p>

<p>The Kurds have been a key ally to Washington in the US-backed fight against Islamic State group jihadists in Syria, but Ankara views them as "terrorists" linked to Kurdish militants on its own soil.</p>

<p>A week ago, the Pentagon said US President Donald Trump had ordered the withdrawal of up to 1,000 troops from northern Syria as Turkish troops advanced into Syrian territory.</p>

<p>Turkey launched a cross-border incursion into Syria on October 9, after Trump said he would pull back US special forces in the Kurdish-held north.</p>

<p>After the violence killed scores from both sides and displaced hundreds of thousands from their homes, a US-brokered ceasefire was announced late Thursday.</p>

<p>Turkey has given the Syrian Democratic Forces, the de facto army of the Kurdish authorities in northeastern Syria, until Tuesday evening to withdraw from a 30-kilometre strip of Syrian land along its southern border.</p>

<p>He hit another six off Ngidi before falling to paceman Kagiso Rabada for 212 and returned to the pavilion with handshakes from the South African side.</p>

<p>The left-handed Ravindra Jadeja then took control to hit his 13th Test half-century before falling to debutant spinner George Linde for 51.</p>

<p>Linde returned figures of 4-133 with his left-arm spin.</p>

<p>Number nine Umesh Yadav played a useful cameo of 31, hitting five sixes during his 10-ball blitz.</p>

<p>Mohammed Shami, on 10, and debutant Shahbaz Nadeem, on one, was batting when skipper Virat Kohli called them back at the stroke of tea.</p>

<p>Sharma, who hit twin centuries in his debut as Test opener at the start of the series, pulled India out of early trouble with his 267-run fourth-wicket stand with Ajinkya Rahane, who made 115.</p>

<p>The senior batsman, playing his 30th Test, surpassed his previous best of 177 on his debut against the West Indies in 2013.</p>

<p>Sharma, who has three double centuries in his already illustrious one-day career, smashed the ball all around the park as he hit 28 fours and six sixes in his 255-ball stay.</p>

<p>He successfully reviewed an lbw decision on seven and survived a dropped catch on 28 on day one.</p>

<p>Rahane, who started Sunday on 83, became Linde's first Test victim and the only Indian wicket to fall in the morning session.</p>

<p>Rabada struck twice to reduce India to 39 for three after the hosts elected to bat first on Saturday.</p>

Three arrested after dam mishap in Siberia

<p>Police said on Saturday&nbsp;they had freed nearly 150 students from a purported school in northern Nigeria that claimed it was teaching the Koran but had instead subjected them to abuse.</p>

<p>It was the fourth such operation in a month and brings the total released from religious schools in northern Nigeria to more than 1,000.</p>

<p>The raid will put more pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to take action on loosely regulated Islamic schools called Almajiris, which experts say teach millions of children across the mainly Muslim north of the country.</p>

<p>Kaduna state governor Nasir El Rufai ordered the raid on the Islamic reform school in Rigasa, officials said. The captives were gathered later at a camp nearby, standing in lines in maroon uniforms as state officials tended to them.</p>

<p>Unlike the other schools, at least 22 of the 147 released captives were female, Hafsat Baba, Kaduna's commissioner for human services told Reuters.</p>

<p>The condition of those released was not immediately clear.</p>

<p>An official told Reuters the school was owned by the same man who owned one of the schools raided in neighbouring Katsina state earlier this week and had already been arrested by police.</p>

<p>Those freed from other schools over the past month - including two this week - were chained to walls, beaten and sexually molested.</p>

<p>At the other raided facilities, some parents thought their children would be educated and even paid tuition. Other families sent misbehaving or difficult family members and wards to them for discipline.</p>

<p>Buhari, whose home state is Katsina, said in June that he planned to ban Almajiris eventually but would not do so right away.</p>

<p>Buhari's office, in a statement issued on Saturday, said: "no responsible democratic government would tolerate the existence of the torture chambers and physical abuses of inmates in the name of rehabilitation of the victims."</p>

<p>Substitute Ross Moriarty snatched a late winner as Wales floored 14-man France in a breathless World Cup quarter-final with echoes of 2011 on Sunday.</p>

<p>A moment of madness cost France in Oita after lock Sebastien Vahaamahina was sent off for elbowing Aaron Wainwright nine minutes after half-time with his side leading by nine points.</p>

<p>Wales, paced by 10 points from fly-half Dan Biggar's perfect boot, face either South Africa or hosts Japan in the semi-finals next weekend after surviving a scare against the swashbuckling French.</p>

<p>Still haunted by the memory of a stinging 9-8 semi-final loss to France eight years ago, the Six Nations champions looked decidedly uncomfortable until Vahaamahina's rush of blood undid all of France's hard work.</p>

<p>The defeat also brought the curtain down on France coach Jacques Brunel's two-year spell in charge of the three-time World Cup finalists.</p>

<p>Vahaamahina had stunned the Welsh by bundling over from a lineout after just five minutes before France scored one of the tries of the tournament.</p>

Substitute Ross Moriarty snatched a late winner as Wales floored 14-man France in a breathless World Cup quarter-final with echoes of 2011 on Sunday. A moment of madness cost France in Oita after lock Sebastien Vahaamahina was sent off for elbowing Aaron Wainwright nine minutes after half-time with his side leading by nine points.

Substitute Ross Moriarty snatched a late winner as Wales floored 14-man France in a breathless World Cup quarter-final with echoes of 2011 on Sunday. A moment of madness cost France in Oita after lock Sebastien Vahaamahina was sent off for elbowing Aaron Wainwright nine minutes after half-time with his side leading by nine points. Wales, paced by 10 points from fly-half Dan Biggar's perfect boot, face either South Africa or hosts Japan in the semi-finals next weekend after surviving a scare against the swashbuckling French. Still haunted by the memory of a stinging 9-8 semi-final loss to France eight years ago, the Six Nations champions looked decidedly uncomfortable until Vahaamahina's rush of blood undid all of France's hard work. The defeat also brought the curtain down on France coach Jacques Brunel's two-year spell in charge of the three-time World Cup finalists. Vahaamahina had stunned the Welsh by bundling over from a lineout after just five minutes before France scored one of the tries of the tournament. Roared on by chants of "Allez, Les Bleus!" flanker Charles Ollivon stormed through to complete a sweeping move involving Virimi Vakatawa, Romain Ntamack and scrum-half Antoine Dupont. Back came Wales in an electrifying opening 12 minutes as flanker Wainwright pounced on a loose ruck on halfway to race clear for his first Test try. Biggar slotted a penalty to bring the Six Nations champions to within two points. But when a high tackle from substitute Ross Moriarty on Gael Fickou resulted in a yellow card, France made Wales pay as Damian Penaud released Vakatawa to grab France's third try on the half-hour mark. French playmaker Ntamack struck the post with a penalty just before the break but the pendulum swung towards Wales after Vahaamahina's rush of blood. Caught on camera recklessly swinging his elbow flush into Wainwright's face, it was only ever going to result in a red card. His dismissal came as an ironic twist as then Welsh captain Sam Warburton received an early red card for a dangerous tip tackle on Vincent Clerc in that 2011 semi-final in Auckland. Wales, who had won seven of their last eight games against France, were still made to work for it in a nail-biting finish. But just when France looked like holding out for a famous victory, Moriarty popped up after a monstrous Welsh scrum. Making up for his earlier indiscretion, the replacement forward bulldozed over six minutes from time before Biggar kicked the conversion that broke French hearts.
