www.euronews.com Three Kurdish women have been killed at the Kurdish Information Centre in Paris. All three were shot in the head. One of the victims, Sakine Cansiz, is a founder member of the Kurdistan Workers Party, which has waged a 28-year insurgency against the Turkish state. Kurds in the French capital have taken to the streets to protest against the killings. The murders come at a sensitive time as Turkey has recently admitted to talks with jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan. French police have launched an murder investigation. French Interior Minister Manuel Valls visited the scene: "Three women have been killed, no doubt murdered. It is completely unacceptable." Staff members at the centre say the crimes are politically motivated. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

A French man taken hostage by Islamist rebels last week in southwest Mali says, in a video filmed by his captors, that he blames France's foreign policy for his abduction and urged Paris to respond to his abductors demands. It is not clear what the militants demands were, but Islamist groups in the Sahara have routinely demanded ransoms of millions of dollars to release hostages. The news comes as dozens of Algerian jihadists were reported to have arrived in the northern capital of Timbuktu to support al-Qaeda linked groups who are imposing an increasingly brutal version of Sharia law in the vast northern areas under their control. European leaders are growing increasingly anxious that Mali could turn into a safe-haven for Islamic extremists and a platform for militant attacks, including in Europe. Almost two-thirds of the country fell into Islamist hands after a coup toppled the government earlier this year.

NY Ferry Crash - New York Ferry Crash - Ferry Crashes in New York Accident Manhattan NYC More Than a Dozen Injured in Ferry Accident in Lower Manhattan A ferry crashed as it was docking in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday morning, injuring at least 17 people, according to fire officials. The cause of the accident, which occurred around 8:45 am at Pier 11, at South Street and Gouverneur Lane, was not immediately clear, according to a spokesman for the New York Fire Department. A massive gash in the ferry could be seen, and passengers, speaking on local television stations, described a huge jolt as the ferry pulled into the dock. The ferry, operated by Sea Streak Ferry, provides daily service from Atlantic Highlands and Conners Highlands in New Jersey to Lower Manhattan, and can accommodate several hundred passengers. The president of the ferry company, James R. Barker, told NBC News that there were 300 people on the ferry and that many of those who were injured were thrown from their seats. Chris Avore, speaking to ABC News, said the impact was similar to what one might feel in a car crash. "Almost no one knew what was going on," he said.

Newly re-elected leader of Venezuela's National Assembly Diosdado Cabello has told supporters "it doesn't mean anything" if Chávez is unable to be sworn in on Thursday. The government admits Chavez has suffered multiple complications after cancer surgery. "Comandante Chávez, the leader of the revolution, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, has been granted a permission from the National Assembly," Cabello told a crowd in Caracas. "Even the opposition, who were at this session, voted to give President Chávez permission to be attended to medically," he added. The vote by the assembly, which is dominated by Chávez supporters, confirms Diosdado Cabello as the third most powerful figure in the government. He and Vice President Nicolas Maduro will effectively be running the country while Chávez remains hospitalised in Cuba. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com
