| China claims detained former Interpol chief accepted bribes Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:17 AM PDT  The former Chinese head of Interpol, who went missing last month, was accused of accepting bribes on Monday, becoming the latest top official to fall into President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption dragnet. After days of concealing the fate of Meng Hongwei - who is also China's vice minister for public security - from the international community, the public security ministry said Meng had accepted bribes but provided no further details on the allegations or the conditions and location of Meng's apparent detention. French officials disclosed on Friday that Meng had been reported missing after leaving France for China, while his wife voiced concern for his life on Sunday some two weeks after he texted her an ominous knife emoji. His case could tarnish Beijing's efforts to gain leadership posts in international organisations, but it is also a black eye for France-based Interpol, which is tasked with finding missing people, analysts say. Interpol said on Sunday that Meng had resigned and would be temporarily replaced by a South Korean official until a new election in November - hours after China's anti-corruption body, the National Supervisory Commission, said he was under investigation for violating unspecified laws. The public security ministry released a statement Monday afternoon, saying Meng accepted bribes and that the investigation "clearly expressed comrade Xi Jinping's" determination to fully carry out the struggle against corruption. It did not provide more details about the allegations. The last message sent by missing Interpol President, Meng Hongwei, to his wife, Grace Meng Credit: John Leicester/ AP "It shows that no one is above the law, with no exceptions. Anyone who violates the law will be seriously investigated and severely punished," the statement said, adding others suspected of accepting bribes alongside Meng would be investigated and dealt with. Meng is the latest high-profile Chinese citizen to disappear, with a number of top government officials, billionaire business magnates and even an A-list celebrity vanishing for weeks or months at a time. When - or if - they reappear, it is often in court. Meng, the first Chinese president of Interpol, was last heard from on September 25 as he left Lyon, where Interpol is headquartered. Grace, the wife of the missing Interpol president Meng Hongwey, talks to journalists on October 7. She did not want her face shown Credit: JEFF PACHOUD/ AFP Meng was appointed in 2016, despite concerns from human rights groups about giving Chinese President Xi Jinping a victory in his bid to paint the communist-led country as a responsible player in global affairs. But his disappearance could be a setback for China. Interpol was kept in the dark about his disappearance, prompting its secretary general Juergen Stock, who oversees day-to-day operations, to admit that the agency was seeking "clarification" on his whereabouts. "Any international organisation should think twice before considering a Chinese candidate to be its head," Bonnie Glaser, senior Asia advisor at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies, told AFP.

| Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu to meet for first time since Russian aircraft shot down in Syria Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:22 AM PDT  Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is to meet with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, for the first time since July in a sign of thawing relations between two of Syria's key power brokers. Russia-Israel relations deteriorated sharply after the 17 September downing of a Russian IL-20 spy plane, which saw 15 Russian crewmen killed by Syrian air defences during an Israeli strike. Mr Netanyahu told his cabinet on Sunday that he had spoken with Mr Putin and would soon meet him to discuss military coordination around Syria, a battlefield that has drawn the two countries into at-times fraught opposing stances. Mr Putin absolved Israel of responsibility over the plane incident, but warned Mr Netanyahu "Not to allow such situations in the future." A Russian Il-20 intelligence plane was accidentally shot down by Syrian forces responding to Israeli airstrikes last month Credit: Marina Lystseva/AP Last week, relations were further strained as the first components of Russia's S-300 air defence system were delivered to Syria, giving the country the capacity to repel the sort of aerial attacks Israel relies on to police its eastern flank from Shia militants. Despite the recent chill, Russia and Israel have been largely successful at de-conflicting military actions in a highly complex theatre. Russia is widely credited with turning the war around for Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, whose victory now is all but assured. But in propping up Assad, Russia has heralded the Syrian expansion of Iran and the Shia paramilitary group Hizbollah, on which Assad has relied heavily. For Israel, the growing footprint of Shia militancy in Syria, whether Lebanese, Iranian or foreign conscript, is a red line. Mr Netanyahu has sworn to prevent Iran from deepening its military presence in Syria and using the country as a bridge to transfer weapons to Hizbollah in Lebanon. He has made good on the threat: last month, Israeli officials claimed the country had launched more than 200 airstrikes on Iranian military targets inside Syria since 2017. It is not known how the S-300 will impact such tactics. For Mr Netanyahu, Sunday's announcement was a bit of good news on an otherwise dark day. His wife, Sara Netanyahu, appeared in Jerusalem Magistrate Court on fraud charges, accused of misusing $100,000 (£76,000) in state funds to order high-end take-away meals despite employing a private chef. Mr Netanyahu is implicated in the charges, with investigators alleging he told staff to cover up the fact that the couple had hired a cook, so as to avoid double-dipping on the state allowance for meals. The case dates back to 2010, and has long been a thorn in the Netanyahus' side, threatening to lift the lid on the couple's private life. The next hearing is scheduled for 13 November.

| Rod Rosenstein job appears safe after 'great' meeting with Trump on Air Force One Posted: 08 Oct 2018 01:46 PM PDT  Donald Trump has said had a "great" meeting with Rod Rosenstein aboard Air Force One following weeks of speculation that he was going to fire the deputy attorney general. Rumours have abounded in recent weeks that the president was set to fire the second highest ranking official in the US Justice Department and the man charged with overseeing the investigation into alleged collusion between Mr Trump's presidential campaign team and Russian officials. The speculation about his position mounted after The New York Times reported that he had discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment of the US constitution, which provides for the removal of a president if he is deemed unfit for office.
