| Italy moves to force big ships to take back route to Venice Posted: 07 Nov 2017 11:32 AM PST  Gondolas and water taxis will never again have to vie with big cruise ships for space in front of Venice's iconic St. Mark's Square, an Italian governmental committee decided on Tuesday. Venetians and environmentalists have long voiced concerns about floating pleasure palaces sailing close to the fragile city, dwarfing its Gothic and Byzantine churches. Under the new rules, which follow a temporary limit imposed three years ago, the largest ships weighing more than 100,000 tonnes or more will take a less glamorous route to the industrial port of Marghera, far from the Grand Canal.

| United gave its final 747 aircraft a 1970s sendoff Posted: 07 Nov 2017 01:29 PM PST  United flight 747 made history Tuesday morning. The flight from San Francisco to Honolulu was the final flight on the airline's last Boeing 747 aircraft. It all came fill circle after the first commercial flight departed on the same route on June 23, 1970 — 47 years ago. SEE ALSO: Today marks the last flight 666 bound for HEL on Friday the 13th. Would you take it? This wasn't just any old takeoff — it was an homage to the '70s with the flight crew decked out in original uniforms and even the ticket jackets throwing it back a few decades.

In the U.S., United and Delta have retired the last of the 747-400s this year, marking the end of an era. The newer version of the 747, known as the 747-800, failed to attract any U.S. passenger airlines, and is mainly being sold to freight carriers. United is auctioning off parts of the historic plane in honor of the retirement. Bids using United frequent flyer miles are still open for the altimeter, tail number, an oxygen pressure indicator, and other plane hardware. The final flight is in the air after departing at 11 a.m. and expected to make it to Hawaii this afternoon where the farewell festivities will continue. Farewell, Queen of the Skies. UPDATE Nov. 7, 6:19 p.m. PT: When United flight 747 arrived in Honolulu the aircraft got lei'd, in a true Hawaii welcome. #UA747Farewell landed in Honolulu and promptly got lei'd, in Grand Hawaiian tradition.

| Saudi reopens Lebanon front in struggle with Iran Posted: 07 Nov 2017 02:09 PM PST  By Tom Perry and Laila Bassam BEIRUT (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has opened a new front in its regional proxy war with Iran, threatening Tehran's powerful ally Hezbollah and its home country Lebanon to try to regain the upper hand. With Iranian power winning out in Iraq and Syria, and Riyadh bogged down in a war with Iran-allied groups in Yemen, the new Saudi approach could bring lasting political and economic turmoil to a country where Tehran had appeared ascendant. The resignation on Saturday of the Saudi-allied Lebanese prime minister Saad al-Hariri, announced from Riyadh and blamed on Iran and Hezbollah, is seen by many as the first step in an unprecedented Saudi intervention in Lebanese politics.

"It's past time to remove weapons of war from our streets," Feinstein said in introducing the new bill with 22 other Democrats.

| Zimbabwe's deposed vice president vows to to fight Mugabe in elections after fleeing country Posted: 08 Nov 2017 11:40 AM PST  Zimbabwe's former vice president yesterday vowed to return home to "fight" for democracy as he revealed he had fled the country after being sacked and labelled a "traitor". Emmerson Mnangagwa, 75, left his government office on Monday, several hours before Robert Mugabe, 93, the president, dismissed him and accused him of being "deceitful" and "disloyal". The ex-vice president, reported to be in either Mozambique or South Africa, released a five-page statement via his family in Harare in which he said he would return to Zimbabwe to campaign against Mr Mugabe in elections next year. "I will fight tooth and nail against those making a mockery of Zanu-PF founding principles, ethos and values," he said. Mr Mugabe yesterday told thousands of supporters that Mr Mnangagwa was a "deviant," adding that he the deposed official had told supporters the president would retire in March. "Upon realising that I wasn't, he started to consult traditional healers on when I was going to die. At some point, he was told that he would die before me," Mr Mugabe said. Emmerson Mnangagwa was labelled a 'traitor' by Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe Credit: AFP The move to sack Mr Mnangagwa clears a path to the presidency for Grace Mugabe, Zimbabwe's first lady, who on Sunday labelled the ex-vice president a "traitor". Mr Mnangagwa, who served the government for 37 years, was one of the first to launch armed attacks against white-minority Rhodesia and served 10 years in prison before going into exile in Mozambique. He then served at Mr Mugabe's side as his personal assistant and bodyguard. Yesterday, the country's War Veterans Association, which is loyal to Mr Mnangagwa, said it had expelled Mr Mugabe as its leader and formed a revolutionary council to take over Zanu-PF. Mr Mnangagwa addressed the president in his statement: "This party is not personal property for you and your wife to do as you please... I have been accused of treasonous acts dating from 1980. This is not only fake but laughable – the president knows this." He said Zanu-PF had been "captured" by "minnows" and the "first family", but said he had never previously criticised Mr Mugabe. He accused Mrs Mugabe of corruption, said the country was undeveloped and that he hoped to transform Zimbabwe according to the original values of Zanu-PF. "Let us bury our differences, and build a new and prosperous Zimbabwe, a country that is tolerant of divergent views, that respects opinion of others, that does not isolate itself from the rest of the world, because of one stubborn individual who believes he is entitled to rule this country until death," Mr Mnangagwa said. Mrs Mugabe is expected to be appointed to fill Mr Mnangagwa's position as deputy to her husband at a Zanu-PF special congress next month.
