A pedophile Christian who targeted impoverished children is suspected of having raped and molested up to 200 children in Cambodia and Malaysia while undertaking voluntary work.

Richard Huckle, 30, has already admitted to raping and assaulting 23 children, aged between six months and 12 years, in Cambodia and the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.

However, National Crime Agency (NCA) investigators fear he could have abused up to 200 children after they discovered more than 20,000 indecent images of minors on his computer and camera.

Huckle, from Ashford, Kent, posted hundreds of images to the dark web, where he said being a white Englishman meant poor people trusted him.

Huckle's parents reportedly begged police to take their son away after he admitted to the crimes when his mother questioned him on the allegations.

Australian Rob Martin: 'My weekend in Palestine changed my life'

It's been a long weekend in the U.S. so here's a little inspiration: Rob Martin's weekend in Palestine.

Martin is an Australian activist and a model for engagement on the issue. He'd never been to Palestine before late 2014, but during the Gaza onslaught that summer, he began reading about the conflict in a serious way.

"What I heard and read in the mainstream seemed to contradict what I was reading elsewhere," he told me. "I had made a few friends in Gaza through social media and talked to them as bombs were being dropped. I was surprised that every time a Palestinian was mentioned they were always referred to as a 'terrorist,' including the children.

"The fact a country can kill so many civilian including children truly shocked me. I felt I needed to see for myself as relying on media and opinions didn't sit right with me."

Martin went out to Palestine in December 2014, and was promptly embroiled, during a visit to the West Bank. "It was my first time in Palestine and I had no intentions to be in the middle of it all. I didn't go looking for trouble, it just seemed to follow me," he said.

The occupation was far worse than he imagined, and he rose to the occasion. Here is Rob Martin's distressing report My Weekend in Palestine, shot by the great photographer Hamde Abu Rahme. Many of us have observed conditions like these. The thing that's particularly moving about the video is Martin's ready insertion into the conflict, and bold, fresh bearing of witness.

Jewish terrorist released from prison - suspected of involvement in murder of Palestinian toddler

Israeli police have released a Jewish extremist that was held in administrative detention for almost 10 months on suspicion of playing a leading role in a terrorist group targeting Palestinians.

Far-right activist Meir Ettinger was released without being charged on Wednesday, although he is still under heavy restrictions, local media reported.

He was initially taken into custody in August of last year for allegedly taking part in an arson attack in the West Bank that killed an 18-month-old boy when he and his parents were burnt alive.

Several extremists were arrested at the time, two of which were eventually charged with the arson.

Israel's internal security agency, the Shin Bet, didn't elaborate on the reason for Ettinger's release.

Comment: How many Americans are unaware of the existence of Jewish terrorists in Israel and occupied Palestine? How many are aware that Israel has racial colonies? That would be the equivalent of having "white only" towns in the U.S. Despite his notoriety, even among Israeli law enforcement, Ettinger is a perfect symbol for the whole project of Israel.

Anti-labor reform strikes spread to all nuclear power plants in France

France's union workers plan to begin rolling strikes in the power sector, including at all nuclear plants as part of nationwide protests against contentious labor reforms.

Members of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) union voted to down tools at all 19 nuclear power plants on Thursday.

"All power production sites voted to strike from Thursday. All 19 nuclear plants voted for the strike. We will start cutting power output tonight from 1900 GMT," said CGT union official Laurent Langlard.

The walkout will unlikely end up in blackouts since there is a rule that obliges unions to retain a minimum output level that prevents outages.

France paralyzed by protests in the 'War of the Lefts'

Paris burns as Hollande fiddles. Take it as shorthand for nationwide protests in France against a proposed labor "reform" while the President poses at the G-7 in Japan as if he's one of the Masters of the Universe.

France is semi-paralyzed - from dockworkers in the port of Le Havre (a key trade hub) to workers in refineries, oil depots, nuclear power stations (accounting for 75 percent of the national electricity supply), airports, and the metropolitan Paris rail system. This has translated into panic at myriad petrol stations - with much of the French transportation system brought to a standstill.

All this because the cataclysmically unpopular, nominally "socialist"Hollande administration has introduced a draft law that drastically modifies the French labor code and essentially adopts Anglo-Saxon neoliberal "hire and fire" in a deeply regulated, regimented nation where workers' rights and protections are taken extremely seriously. Hollande and his astonishingly mediocre Prime Minister Manuel Valls defend it as the best way to fight chronic unemployment.

A GOP congressman has called on the Bible for help with a verse condemning homosexuality - right ahead of the vote on a Democrat-proposed amendment that would prohibit work discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Shortly before voting started on Thursday on the Energy-Water appropriations bill, a freshman member had read a verse that essentially calls for death to homosexuals.

Rick W. Allen, the Georgia Republican with the Bible, went straight for the jugular with Romans 1:18-32 and Revelations 22:18-19, which greatly antagonized gay activists who called for him to be censured.

Computer scientists at Purdue University have created a new tool which could potentially allow law enforcement to access any camera that is not password protected.

Researchers with Purdue University are developing a system which could soon allow law enforcement officers to access any public camera system. The tool is designed to help law enforcement determine where and how to respond to crime. The development of the tool was first reported by WIRED:
The system, which is just a proof of concept, alarms privacy advocates who worry that prudent surveillance could easily lead to government overreach, or worse, unauthorized use. It relies upon two tools developed independently at Purdue. The Visual Analytics Law Enforcement Toolkit superimposes the rate and location of crimes and the location of police surveillance cameras. CAM2 reveals the location and orientation of public network cameras, like the one outside your apartment.

Police in the Linz-Land district of Austrian capital Vienna have arrested a suspected neo-Nazi allegedly planning to massacre asylum-seekers. Officers found weapons and ammunition at the man's home, along with Nazi memorabilia, AFP reports.

According to a statement from the police, the detained 20-year-old "repeatedly told friends that he wanted to 'shoot dead all asylum-seekers with his shotgun' at a refugee center." Police did not disclose the man's name.

The statement, cited by AFP, also claims the man used neo-Nazi terms in his speech and sent two text messages to a friend that included "national socialist ideology."

APA news agency reports the man's threats were directed specifically against a refugee center in his district. Citing sources close to the detainee, the agency states the man even threatened his own grandmother.

Police say they discovered wartime Nazi items during a raid on the detainee's home on Thursday, arresting him near the premises early on Friday. He was taken to prison in Linz.

Capital amnesty policy paying off as Russian money returns from tax havens

The Kremlin policy of capital amnesty has started to pay off, as recent data from the Central Bank shows more money is returning to Russia from overseas tax havens.

The last two years saw a major inflow to Russia. In 2015, $5.2 billion came from the Bahamas and $1.9 billion from Bermuda, which is a 43 and 9 percent increase, respectively, Vedomosti daily reports, quoting Central Bank data.

Investment from the British Virgin Islands decreased, but that jurisdiction retained second place for direct investment in Russia, the newspaper added.

In December, businessman Gennady Timchenko reportedly restructured the ownership of his Volga Group. He now owns 99.9 percent of the company shares and the firm will pay taxes in Russia. Earlier, the investment company belonged to a Cyprus-based Volga Resources Ltd and Luxembourg's VRN Sarl.

In 2014, another Russian tycoon Alisher Usmanov and his partners restructured assets of the British Virgin Islands-based USM Holdings, transferring the controlling stake of the mining and metals company Metalloinvest and cellphone operator MegaFon to Russian subsidiaries.

The Russian amnesty on capital expires on July 1. Before that date, taxpayers who declare their foreign assets and bank accounts will be exempt from sanctions by the state for non-payment of taxes.

In May, Russia's Federal Tax Service signed an international agreement on the automatic exchange of financial information, which will allow it to obtain data on the financial accounts of taxpayers from more than 80 jurisdictions, including offshore tax havens.
