Thailand murder suspects forced to re-enact killing
Thai police have arrested two Myanmar workers they say confessed to killing a pair of British tourists on a beach in southern Thailand last month.
Thailand's national police chief General Somyot Poompanmoung said on Friday that the two suspects face charges of murder, rape and theft in the attack on Koh Tao, an island known for its pristine diving sites.
He said that DNA results, closed-circuit television footage and other evidence have backed up the men's confessions that they raped and killed Hannah Witheridge, 23, and murdered David Miller, 24.
The men were brought to the murder scene on Friday as part of the investigation amid tightened security and were made to take part in a reconstruction.
The Friday arrests came after weeks of pressure on police to solve a case that has threatened to damage the country's tourism industry.

SUMMARY
=======
Several Catholic countries and populations fell under Nazi domination during the period of the Second World War (1939–1945), and ordinary Catholics fought on both sides of the conflict. Despite efforts to protect its rights within Germany under a 1933 Reichskonkordat treaty, the Church in Germany had faced persecution in the years since Adolf Hitler had seized power, and Pope Pius XI accused the Nazi government of sowing 'fundamental hostility to Christ and his Church'. Pius XII became Pope on the eve of war and lobbied world leaders to prevent the outbreak of conflict. His first encyclical, Summi Pontificatus, called the invasion of Poland an hour of darkness. He affirmed the policy of Vatican neutrality, but maintained links to the German Resistance. Despite being the only world leader to publicly and specifically denounce Nazi crimes against Jews in his 1942 Christmas Address, controversy surrounding his apparent reluctance to speak frequently and in even more explicit terms about Nazi crimes continues. He used diplomacy to aid war victims, lobbied for peace, shared intelligence with the Allies, and employed Vatican Radio and other media to speak out against atrocities like race murders. In Mystici corporis Christi (1943) he denounced the murder of the handicapped. A denunciation from German bishops of the murder of the innocent and defenceless, including people of a foreign race or descent, followed.Hitler's invasion of Catholic Poland sparked the War. Nazi policy towards the Church was at its most severe in the areas it annexed to the Reich, such as the Czech and Slovene lands, Austria and Poland. In Polish territories it annexed to Greater Germany, the Nazis set about systematically dismantling the Church—arresting its leaders, exiling its clergymen, closing its churches, monasteries and convents. Many clergymen were murdered. Over 1800 Catholic Polish clergy died in concentration camps; most notably, Saint Maximilian Kolbe. Nazi security chief Reinhard Heydrich soon orchestrated an intensification of restrictions on church activities in Germany. Hitler and his ideologues Goebbels, Himmler, Rosenberg and Bormann hoped to de-Christianize Germany in the long term. With the expansion of the war in the East, expropriation of monasteries, convents and church properties surged from 1941. Clergy were persecuted and sent to concentration camps, religious Orders had their properties seized, some youth were sterilized. The first priest to die was Aloysius Zuzek. Bishop August von Galen's ensuing 1941 denunciation of Nazi euthanasia and defence of human rights roused rare popular dissent. The German bishops denounced Nazi policy towards the church in pastoral letters, calling it unjust oppression.From 1940, the Nazis gathered priest-dissidents in dedicated clergy barracks at Dachau, where (95%) of its 2,720 inmates were Catholic (mostly Poles, and 411 Germans), 1,034 died there. Mary Fulbrook wrote that when politics encroached on the church, German Catholics were prepared to resist, but the record was otherwise patchy and uneven with notable exceptions, it seems that, for many Germans, adherence to the Christian faith proved compatible with at least passive acquiescence in, if not active support for, the Nazi dictatorship. Influential members of the German Resistance included Jesuits of the Kreisau Circle and laymen such as July plotters Klaus von Stauffenberg, Jakob Kaiser and Bern ...
Shocking CCTV shows man killed by single punch
Subscribe to ITN News:
A four-and-a-half year jail sentence handed to a man who killed a pedestrian with a single punch in an unprovoked attack could be referred to the Court of Appeal, the Attorney's General Office has said. Andrew Young, 40, died after being struck by Lewis Gill, 20, in Bournemouth, Dorset, on November 6 last year, in a vicious assault caught on CCTV. Gill later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court to four-and-a-half years in prison - a sentence reportedly branded as an absolute joke by Mr Young's family. The Attorney General's Office has confirmed it is considering whether to refer the sentence to the Court of Appeal for being unduly lenient after receiving complaints. Only one complaint is required to trigger the process. Report by Lindsay Brown.

The gentrification of Amsterdam - VPRO documentary - 2017
Large cities in the world like Amsterdam have become a magnet for newcomers, tourists, expats and laptop nomads. The pressure is also increasing in our capital Amsterdam that is becoming more and more gentrified. Over the next fifteen years, Amsterdam must grow to the magical number of 1 million inhabitants. Is Amsterdam going to follow London or Paris, where the middle class disappears and gentrification is the rule? What does that do to Amsterdam and is there something to do against it?
During the credit crisis there was not sufficient construction done in cities, as a result of which the pressure on the housing market is now enormous and a bubble is threatening. Residents no longer have the idea that the center of the city belongs to them: it has become something more of a Disneyland for adults. And that's valid for the city center as much as for the decentralized old neighborhoods, which are becoming popular items for investors. More and more city dwellers feel excluded. But there is hardly any room for the many new residents.
The super-de-luxe apartments that are currently being built around the Amsterdam Dam and on the Amstel and IJ banks illustrate how the center is too expensive for most people to be able to live there. This creates a waterbed effect for surrounding neighborhoods.
The Indische Buurt is such a neighborhood where the change of the city is clearly visible. Where, for example, the Javastraat was still ruined seven years ago and call shops and criminal practices clearly visible on the streets, has changed now into a hipand trending street of Amsterdam. Except for a few vegetable stores left, this street is completely gentrified.
Residents, retailers, property developers and urban planners analyze what the pressure on the city means in practice. The average square meter price for a owner-occupied home is approaching € 5,000 and in the free rental sector amounts of € 1500 for an apartment are quite normal. In addition, the waiting list for social rented housing is enormous. Cities from which middle-class families are displaced and where expats, tourists and students rule. Will the city still be attractive and liveable in ten years' time or has it become a sort of instagram decor and at best a machine for real estate developers?
Can we still save the soul of the city? Who owns the city of the future?

SUMMARY
=======
Pope Francis (Latin: Franciscus; Italian: Francesco; Spanish: Francisco; born Jorge Mario Bergoglio; 17 December 1936) is the 266th and current Pope and sovereign of the Vatican City State. Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere, and the first pope from outside Europe since the Syrian Gregory III, who reigned in the 8th century.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969, and from 1973 to 1979 was Argentina's provincial superior of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. He led the Argentine Church during the December 2001 riots in Argentina. The administrations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considered him a political rival. Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on 28 February 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his successor on 13 March. He chose Francis as his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Throughout his public life, Pope Francis has been noted for his humility, emphasis on God's mercy, international visibility as Pope, concern for the poor and commitment to interfaith dialogue. He is credited with having a less formal approach to the papacy than his predecessors, for instance choosing to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse rather than in the papal apartments of the Apostolic Palace used by previous popes. He maintains that the Church should be more open and welcoming. He does not support unbridled capitalism, Marxism, or Marxist versions of liberation theology. Francis maintains the traditional views of the Church regarding abortion, marriage, ordination of women, and clerical celibacy. He opposes consumerism and overdevelopment, and supports taking action on climate change, a focus of his papacy with the promulgation of Laudato si'. In international diplomacy, he helped to restore full diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba. Since 2016, Francis has faced increasingly open criticism, particularly from theological conservatives, on the question of admitting civilly divorced and remarried Catholics to Communion with the publication of Amoris Laetitia, and on the question of alleged systematic cover up of clergy sexual abuse.
