Turkey’s President Vows to Detail Khashoggi Death

Turkish officials have been leaking lurid details for weeks about the assassination and reported dismemberment of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul. But President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, keen to maintain good relations with Saudi Arabia, has until now held his tongue. On Sunday, the Turkish president broke his silence, promising that within 48 hours he would remove the lid completely from what his spokesmen are now calling a Saudi cover-up. “We will reveal it,” he said in a televised speech. “It will be revealed in full nakedness.”

Gorbachev Calls Trump’s Treaty Withdrawal ‘Not the Work of a Great Mind’

President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States would withdraw from a nuclear disarmament treaty with Russia drew criticism Sunday from one of the men who signed it, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, who called the decision reckless and not the work of “a great mind.” Gorbachev, now 87, cast Trump’s decision as a threat to peace. In an interview with the Interfax news agency, Gorbachev called Trump’s rollback of the 1987 disarmament agreement, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, “very strange.” He added: “Do they really not understand in Washington what this can lead to?”

Migrant Caravan Continues North, Defying Mexico and U.S.

In open defiance of the Mexican and American governments, thousands of Central American migrants, part of a caravan that has been heading toward the United States for more than a week, resumed their journey on Sunday. The Mexican government, which has been under pressure by President Donald Trump to stop the caravan, had ordered the migrants to submit to processing by the immigration authorities. But thousands chose instead to move on — part of a group of people who had been stopped at the Mexican border this week after having traveled for several days, most from their homes in Honduras.

In Poland Elections, Results Suggest Populists Didn’t Sway Urban Liberals

The populist message of Poland’s ruling party failed to gain ground in Warsaw in elections Sunday, a sign that the party may not have broadened its support among more moderate voters. According to exit polls, the party also did not appear to gain support in most of Poland’s other major cities. But it showed strength in poor and rural communities where its message has its deepest resonance, the exit polls suggest. The elections, for local and provincial offices, were the first nationwide balloting since the Law and Justice party swept to power in parliamentary elections in 2015.

The Puyuma Express train was carrying 366 passengers to Taitung, a city on Taiwan’s southeast coast, from Shulin in New Taipei City in the north when it went off the tracks near Xinma Station in Yilan County about 4:50 p.m. local time. On Sunday evening, as many as 30 people were still trapped in the wreckage, according to Taiwan’s Central News Agency.

Ambush in Philippines Kills 9 Farmers Occupying Plantation Land

Armed men opened fire on a group of sugar cane farmers who were occupying part of a plantation in the central Philippines, killing nine, and then set three of the bodies on fire, police said Sunday. Four other farmers survived the attack late Saturday on a plantation outside the city of Sagay and were under police protection as commandos pursued the attackers, police said. Those who were killed were members of a farmers’ union who began occupying the area over the weekend as part of a campaign to begin cultivating land covered by a government agrarian overhaul, police said.

Jordan Plans to Reclaim Two Regions From Israelis

Under internal political pressure, King Abdullah II of Jordan said on Sunday that he was cutting off Israelis’ free access to two tracts of land along the border that fall within Jordanian territory, but where Jews historically have had private land use rights. For nearly a quarter of a century, as part of the 1994 peace treaty between the former foes, Israeli farmers and tourists have enjoyed the fruits and picturesque attractions of the areas. The special arrangement was to remain in force for 25 years and could be renewed automatically or terminated with one year’s notice by either party.
