Hello. I accuse the Turkish President, the Italian challenge to the EU. and a sea cucumber with fins.
Here is the last one:
• President against prince.
Turkey and Saudi Arabia do not seem to have time to retreat into a clash after the murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi.
In a speech on Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the killing "premeditated murder" and confirmed many brutal details, while asking the kingdom to deliver the suspects for trial in Turkey.
In his remarks, Mr. Erdogan showed deference to the Saudi king, but he made it clear that he had no intention of filing the case.
On the same day, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, located above the center, whom Western officials suspect of having authorized the murder, received an ovation at an investment conference in Riyadh. And he had a handshake choreographed with Mr. Khashoggi's son, Salah, who seemed to be suffering and having little choice.
But the pressure is rising. "The worst hiding of all time" is the way in which President Trump explained the explanation of Mr. Khashoggi's death in Saudi Arabia, and the United States revoked the visas of 21 Saudi suspects.
At the same time, Saudi Arabia's regional allies, including Israel and the United Arab Emirates, are beginning to fear that the diplomatic crisis will hinder their own goals.
• "The only thing we need to fear is fear itself."
It was Luigi Di Maio, top left, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Five-Star Anti-Settlement Movement, channeling Franklin Delano Roosevelt as Italy entered an unprecedented confrontation with the company. 39; US.
The Italian populist government has proposed an anti-austerity budget comparable to Roosevelt's 1930s New Deal. And, as expected, the European Commission has deemed the proposed deficit illegal and excessively risky.
With the decline in Italian debt ratings, investors could start to abandon the country's huge debt and a collapse of the Italian economy could turn into a financial crisis as serious as that of 2008.
Italy has three weeks to revise the budget. But Matteo Salvini, deputy prime minister and leader of the far-right party of the league, said: "Let the speculators be reassured, we will not come back."

• Rumor about a caravan of migrants.
President Trump lobbied Mexico to stop a caravan of about 7,000 migrants heading to the United States after fleeing El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
On Twitter, Trump warned that the caravan included "criminals and strangers from the Middle East" – an unsubstantiated claim that would have left its own government for a loop.
In the interviews, the migrants seemed to be driven by blind faith, born out of despair, and many seemed unaware that their caravan had become a central part of the mid-term elections, which Republicans increasingly view as a battle. on immigration and race. These themes, amplified by right-wing media such as Fox News, helped Trump win the White House in 2016.

Return story
On this day in 1975, Icelandic women chose a special way to commemorate what the United States has declared "International Women's Year": a "women's day off" for: demonstrate the value of their work, whether paid or unpaid.
It is estimated that 90% of women participated in this operation, reforming schools, shops and factories. The planes could not take off without flight attendants and the newspapers could not print without the women composing.
If they did not have paid jobs, the women simply left for the day. With closed daycares, fathers had no choice but to take their children to work or to stay at home, which led to their calling. The long Friday.
Rallies in the country of 220,000 people have attracted thousands of women, including 25,000 in Reykjavik, the capital, in the photo above.
The women drew the attention of Iceland, which passed the law on gender equality the following year. Vigdis Finnbogadottir, president from 1980 to 1996 and the first woman democratically elected head of government in the world, said that the "woman's leave" had paved the way for her.
Although Iceland is ranked first for gender parity by the World Economic Forum, women have left work four more times to highlight the persistent gap between wages. They will do it again today, stopping at 14:55. to mark the point after which Icelandic women are no longer paid for a day's work compared to men.
