BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi Trade Ministry media adviser killed last month by a bomb attached to his car had been about to hand over files accusing the ministry of corruption to the country's Integrity Commission, officials in the ministry's legal department told Reuters.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former United Nations General Assembly president accused of being part of a bribery scheme would likely face additional charges, a U.S. prosecutor said on Monday, as the diplomat prepared to be released from jail.
Bashar al-Assad said he's ready to hold elections if Syrians are not against it.
The Syrian President comments followed a call by Russia foreign minister for what he called fresh presidential and parliamentary elections.
The Syrian President comments followed a call by Russia foreign minister for what he called fresh presidential and parliamentary elections.
It all comes as international efforts to reach a political settlement stalled of the future of Assad. Saudi Arabia and other countries insist on Assad's departure, while Moscow says that should be decided by Syrians, not external players.
So, what difference would Russia's call make? Isn't it premature? Is it even realistic?

On this edition for Sunday, October 25th, 2015, rain-soaked Texas contends with flash floods, President Obama wants American school kids to spend less time preparing for standardized tests, and the president of Honduras talks about the country's surge of domestic violence. William Brangham anchors from New York.
he Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has been truly devastating to those it comes in contact with and bloody to those under its control.
Its sudden rise and expansion in 2014 has perplexed many. It has humiliated its enemies, including those in Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran and Washington. Armed with extensive weaponry, boasting an international fighting force and adept in the art of digital media propaganda, the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has become the de facto authority across an area the size of Jordan.
This two-part series peels back the rhetoric to examine how a volunteer organisation managed to rise up from the ashes of post-invasion Iraq and defeat standing armies many times its size and capacity.
How did it begin? How did it grow so astonishingly quickly? And how is it being used by global and regional powers to change the geopolitical map of the Middle East?
With critical testimony from informed insiders and experts from across three continents, as well as original footage from Syria and Iraq, this series mixes documentary and discussion to unravel the interweaving nexus of events and alliances, at once aligned and conflicting, that have given rise to the world's most notorious, and powerful, insurgent group.

Bank Scandals Increase Interest in Islamic Bankingby webdesk@voanews.com (Lien Hoang)
A stream of major bank scandals has increased interest in “ethical finance,” which could benefit the Islamic banking sector. Supporters argue the growing area of Islamic finance is more ethical because banks and businesses must undergo scrutiny to make sure they're sharia-compliant. “We have a very sweet spot, when conventional banking at the moment is suffering from scandals,” Raja Mohamad, secretary of the Gulf Asia Sharia Compliant Investment Association, said at a conference on Islamic finance in Singapore. 'Selling accountability' “We’re not selling Islam here. We’re selling accountability -- transparent, real economic activity.” The religious link is a double-edged sword, though. On the one hand, the public has become more aware of Islamic finance and Islam in general since 9/11, says Habib Ullah, a partner for banking and finance in the Middle East at law firm Taylor Wessing. On the other hand, people might be turned off if they associate Islamic finance with politics. “Another reaction is oops, if you mention Islamic banking, you immediately think of political Islam, possibly terrorism,” said Clement Henry, visiting research professor at National University of Singapore. “You know, it has unfortunate connotations.” Henry said his research, however, has found that people working in the sector tend to be apolitical. Just how do bankers ensure they're respecting sharia law? There’s no set standard. Islamic finance hurdles The most common hurdle for Islamic finance is the prohibition for investors to collect interest on loans. So Islamic banks devise alternative structures, such as financing a business or one of its projects, and then sharing in the profit -- or loss. In theory this should improve financial ethics in two ways. First, businesses have to open their books so Islamic banks can verify performance. Without such transparency, businesses could be tempted to downplay profits and give banks a smaller cut. Second, investors are sharing the risk with the companies, as both profit when the venture succeeds. In traditional banking, companies would keep paying interest to lenders even if the venture failed. “You can't make money without actual economic activity, something that you're going to do that creates that justification for profit,” Suhaimi Zainul-Abidin, founding member of the Gulf Asia Sharia Compliant Investments Association, said at the conference. “That’s a really good safeguard for [the] financial industry because you’re not creating money out of thin air, right?" Zainul-Abidin asked. "You're not just going to rely on derivatives upon derivatives upon derivatives, right? There's always going to be a real link, and that really, really helps.” Financial products As financial products, traditional derivatives are supposed to have a real, underlying economic activity, too. For example, investors buy mortgage-backed securities and enjoy a return based on the payments that homeowners make to their banks. But those and other derivatives are now viewed as the villains of the 2008 financial crisis because they had become so complex that investors often didn't know what the securities contained and how risky they really were. Islamic finance is perceived to have more realistic standards on how businesses can make money. But observers warn that Islamic finance is heading in a dangerous direction, as bankers come up with increasingly complicated financial products. “Really, most of these products are looking to mirror conventional finance,” Ullah said. Similar risks And if Islamic banks go too far in replicating conventional finance, they may just take the same risks as Wall Street and be Islamic in name only. Other criticisms of Islamic banking include the higher costs that can eat into returns, such as fees to lawyers and sharia scholars to ensure compliance with Islamic rules. Henry also said some are uneasy about potentially exploiting religion for economic gain. “For Islamic finance to be called Islamic, for some people it’s sort of using Islam,” he said. “Why do you need to market something which is really [just] good banking? Did Martin Luther make Christian shoes? You know, I mean, why Islamic?”

Driver in Deadly Oklahoma Parade Crash to Appear in Courtby webdesk@voanews.com (Associated Press)
A 25-year-old woman accused of driving a car into a crowd of people at an Oklahoma State University homecoming parade over the weekend, killing four people and injuring dozens of others, is set to make her first court appearance. Adacia Chambers of Stillwater is scheduled to appear Monday in Payne County District Court. Chambers was arrested after the Saturday crash on suspicion of driving while under the influence. Stillwater police said Sunday she was being held on four additional counts of second-degree murder. Police did not elaborate on the new charges in a statement announcing them, and a spokesman did not return repeated messages seeking comment. Officials with the Payne County district attorney's office couldn't immediately be reached. Mental illness alleged Tony Coleman, Chambers' attorney, said at a press conference in Oklahoma City that he believed his client suffers from a mental illness, but that there was no indication that she was drinking before the crash. Police are awaiting blood tests to determine whether Chambers was impaired by drugs or alcohol. "I absolutely can rule out alcohol," Coleman said. He said he spoke with Chambers for about an hour, adding, "During that entire interview, I was not satisfied at all that I was communicating with a competent individual." Coleman also said Chambers, who had been at work before the crash, doesn't remember much of what happened, only recalling people removing her from the car and being extremely confused. "There was a period where I think ... she could have even blacked out," Coleman said. Messages to Stillwater police seeking comment on Coleman's statements weren't immediately returned. Family of driver 'devastated' Chambers' father, Floyd Chambers of Oologah, told The Oklahoman newspaper Saturday he couldn't believe his daughter was involved and said she was not an alcoholic. Floyd Chambers couldn't be reached for comment Sunday by The Associated Press. Coleman described the Chambers family during the news conference as "absolutely devastated." Witnesses of the crash described a scene of chaos as bodies flew into the air from the impact and landed on the road. Three adults and a 2-year-old boy, who wasn't immediately identified, were killed and at least 46 others were hurt, including at least four critically injured. The dead adults were identified as Nakita Prabhakar Nakal, 23, an MBA student from India at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, and a married couple, Bonnie Jean Stone and Marvin Lyle Stone, both 65, of Stillwater. Marvin Stone was a retired professor of agricultural engineering, who had been popular with students, a colleague said. "He was loved by students and one of the best teachers we had," said Ron Elliott, the former head of the Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Department at OSU. "He just really had a gift for connecting with students and helping them learn," Elliott added in a telephone interview. Bodies lying 'all over' Konda Walker, an OSU graduate who was in Stillwater with her sister to celebrate homecoming, said she was only about 50 feet from the crash scene. She said it took her a few seconds to process what had happened. There were bodies and injured people lying "all over the place," Walker said. "One woman was a crumpled mess on the road. They turned her over and started CPR. We realized she didn't make it," she said. Among the injured were nine children 10 years old or younger. At the corner of the intersection where the suspect's car came to a stop, a makeshift memorial grew Sunday with balloons, flowers, stuffed teddy bears and candles with black and orange ribbons tied around them, for the school's colors. A handmade sign read, "It's always darkest before dawn. Stay strong." Anthea Lewis had tears in her eyes as she placed a child's hat with an Oklahoma State University logo at the base of the memorial. One of the injured had been a babysitter of hers, she said. "I've lived here my whole life, and this blows my mind," she said. Hundreds gathered for a vigil at the campus Sunday night.

Five Britons were killed when a whale-watching boat sank off the coast of western Canada, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said.
The boat carrying 27 people sank near Tofino on Vancouver Island on Sunday.
Emergency officials said 21 people had been rescued and one other person was still missing.
The boat, Leviathan II, made a mayday call before sinking about 8 miles (12km) west of Tofino. Sea conditions at the time were reported to be calm.
Mr Hammond said consular staff in British Columbia were supporting family members of those who had died.
