Thai police who Saturday arrested a suspect in the Aug. 17 bombing attacks on a Bangkok Hindi shrine, which killed 20 people, most of them tourists, say he is a foreigner, aged 28 and possibly Turkish. They add he is not the man filmed on security cameras as he left the scene, but they believe he is part of the network which engineered the two bomb attacks. The two Turkish passports found in his apartment appear to be fake, among many other “empty fake passports and various kinds of evidence,” said Thai police spokesman Lt. Gen. Prawut Thavornsiri. Also found in his apartment were “the same types of fuses, ball bearings, and pipes” as used in the attack.

Iran’s agreement to curb its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief by world powers was welcomed at every level of society here, but nowhere more warmly than in the foreign policy community.
August 30, 2015, 9:37 AM (IDT)
Ex-Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney, former senior official at State in the Bush administration, devote a chapter in their book due shortly for publication to the nuclear accord signed last month with Iran. “Nearly everything the president has told us about his Iranian agreement is false,” they write in an almost unprecedented attack on Barack Obama. He claims that the accord will prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, but in fact, say the Cheneys,.“This agreement will actually facilitate and legitimize an Iranian nuclear arsenal” and almost definitely lead to the “first use of a nuclear weapon since Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

We face the risk that the Labour frontrunner’s policies really are electoral anathema or unworkable. Whatever, this moment can renew the centre-left
Before more absurd hyperbole took over – Tony Blair comparing Jeremy Corbyn this weekend to Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen – the prevailing rhetoric was that Labour was in danger of returning to its comfort zone. From the point of view of a loyalist on the soft left of the party, it hasn’t felt like that. I joined just after the Tony Benn/Denis Healey deputy leadership contest in 1981, and so have never had to confront the prospect of the party leadership moving seriously leftwards. Suddenly, completely unexpectedly, Corbyn’s rise made it feel like it was happening. I found that heady and inspiring, but not comfortable at all.

It is too soon to be confident but this time the economic and political pressures may be mounting on Vladimir Putin to make agreements that will stick
The prospects are not good that the new international call for a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine will be heeded any more rigorously than its predecessors were. Yet in the continuing 16-month war on Europe’s fringes, some of the dynamics may perhaps be shifting in some important ways. On Saturday the leaders of Germany, France and Russia held a three-way phone conversation in which they backed a joint announcement made by Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists last week, that a ceasefire would be reinstated on 1 September.
The weekend initiative is the latest attempt to put some life back into February’s Minsk agreement, which has all but fallen apart as the fighting has continued. The agreement remains a fragile plant; both sides came out on Saturday with separate statements with very different emphases. Vladimir Putin laid all the blame on the Ukrainian government, while Kiev has been warning that Russia is readying for new offensives. The Minsk agreement will also come under further international scrutiny as the end of the year nears. This marks the deadline for the internationally recognised border to come back under Ukrainian government control. At the moment, however, the Russians maintain an exclusive grip. So other European states will have to decide soon whether to prolong sanctions against Russia, which arms the rebels and continues to give them backing through covert paramilitary involvement.
