Nobel Prize for Literature postponed amid Swedish Academy turmoil
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43999240
The organisation that decides the Nobel Prize for Literature has said it will not announce an award this year, after it was engulfed in a scandal over sexual assault allegations.
The Swedish Academy has been in crisis over its handling of allegations against the husband of a member. She has since quit, as have the academy's head and four other members.
The academy says it will now announce the 2018 winner along with the 2019 winner next year.
Divisions started to emerge last November when French photographer Jean-Claude Arnault, who ran a cultural project with funding from the Swedish Academy, was accused by 18 women of sexual assault. The organisation later voted against removing Mr Arnault's wife, the poet and writer Katarina Frostenson, from its committee.

Mount Kilauea: Hawaii emergency declared over volcano eruption
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44001651
Mount Kilauea volcano has erupted near a residential area on Hawaii's largest island, prompting a local state of emergency and the mandatory evacuation of 1,700 local residents.
One witness said lava had burst across a road like a curtain of fire. He said he could smell sulphur and burning trees.
The American Red Cross has opened an evacuation shelter.
The eruption follows a series of strong earthquakes over recent days.
A volcanic crater vent - known as Puu Oo - collapsed earlier this week, sending lava down the mountain's slopes towards populated areas.

U.S.-China Trade Talks End With Key Differences Still Unresolved
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-03/trump-team-wraps-up-day-one-of-china-talks-to-defuse-trade-spat
Two days of U.S.-China trade discussions ended in Beijing on Friday with an agreement to keep on talking, and little else.
China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday afternoon that both sides reached a consensus on some trade issues, without providing details. They also acknowledged major disagreements on some matters and will continue communicating to work toward making more progress.
“Our expectations are low. The U.S. negotiating position is unclear -- indeed it’s not even clear if the U.S. representatives have a unified view on what they want to achieve,” Tom Orlik, chief economist at Bloomberg Economics in Beijing, wrote in a report. “The Chinese side has already made concessions and won’t rush to make more. The past few weeks have shown that markets can be roiled by tariff chatter, so that’s certainly a possibility in the next couple of days.”
Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on as much as $150 billion of Chinese goods to punish China over its IP practices if the talks fail to yield progress, a move that China said would spark retaliation in equal measure on American exports.
The U.S. is also looking at ways to crack down on Chinese investment in the U.S. in an effort to balance the scales and protect sensitive technology. China has announced tariffs on $3 billion of U.S. goods such as pork and wine in retaliation for new global steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by Trump. The U.S. levies were aimed at tackling China’s overcapacity.

Here's What the U.S., China Demanded of Each Other on Trade
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-04/here-s-what-u-s-demanded-of-china-at-the-start-of-trade-talks
In a document entitled “Balancing the Trade Relationship,” seen by Bloomberg News, the U.S. divided its demands into eight sections, ranging from trade-deficit reduction to tariff barriers to implementation. Here’s a synopsis of the U.S. requests, which were presented to China at the outset of the talks:
The U.S. wants China to cut the two nations’ trade deficit by at least $200 billion by the end of 2020 from 2018 levels.
China to immediately cease providing subsidies and government support that fuels excess capacity in industries targeted by the Made in China 2025 plan.
By Jan. 1, 2019, China will eliminate provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of the Import and Export of Technologies and the Regulations on the Implementation of the Law on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures identified in the U.S.
A demand that China does not “oppose, challenge, or otherwise retaliate against the United States’ imposition of restrictions on investments from China in sensitive U.S. technology sectors or sectors critical to U.S. national security.”
Both countries to meet quarterly to review targets and reforms
The following is a synopsis of China’s demands:
Adjust the export ban on ZTE. Corp.
Stop imposing 25 percent extra tariffs against Chinese products.
Not to initiate any Section 301 investigation against China in the future.
Open its e-payment market to Chinese companies.

Federal judge accuses Mueller's team of 'lying,' trying to target Trump: 'C'mon man!'
A federal judge on Friday harshly rebuked Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team during a hearing for ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort – suggesting they lied about the scope of the investigation, are seeking “unfettered power” and are more interested in bringing down the president.

Judge challenges Mueller's actions in Manafort case
'I don't see what relation this indictment has with what the special counsel is authorized to investigate,' the judge says.
politico有一段幾特別既
Manafort's defense attorney, Kevin Downing, urged the judge to toss out the indictment or, at least, to demand more documentation from the Justice Department about how Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided to appoint Mueller last May and what was in the special prosecutor's scope at that time.

Judge in Manafort case says Mueller's aim is to hurt Trump
(CNN)A federal judge expressed deep skepticism Friday in the bank fraud case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller's office against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, at one point saying he believes that Mueller's motivation is to oust President Donald Trump from office.
Mueller's prosecutors will have to turn over a full, unredacted version of the August 2 memo that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein used to describe the criminal allegations Mueller's team could investigate, Ellis ordered.
The judge said he would like to see the full memo, which prosecutors submitted to the court in Virginia and in Washington, DC, for another case against Manafort with more than a page of redactions.

A whole town has been ordered to evacuate after the eruption of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island caused lava to flow in residential areas, followed by two large earthquakes.
All 1,500 inhabitants of Pahoa were told to leave after steam and lava poured out of a crack in the nearby Leilani Estates. Lava spurted into the sky from the road and aerial drone footage showed a line of lava snaking through a forest. On Friday afternoon, a 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit the island followed by a 6.9-magnitude earthquake about an hour later, officials .

'Absolute determination': May vows to deliver Brexit without customs union
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/may/06/absolute-determination-may-vows-to-deliver-brexit-without-customs-union
Theresa May has insisted she has the “determination to deliver Brexit” as she comes under pressure from both wings of the Tory party to change course.
Eurosceptics have urged the prime minister to drop the proposal for a hybrid “customs partnership” which they fear would tie the UK too closely to Brussels. But pro-EU Tories are pushing for May to keep the UK in the single market, claiming she would have cross-party support for such a move.
Writing in the Sun On Sunday, May said she had an “absolute determination to make a success of Brexit, by leaving the single market and customs union and building a new relationship with EU partners that takes back control of our borders, our laws and our money”.
She said the UK was “making good progress towards that goal and we will carry on doing so with resolution in the months ahead”.

Lebanon votes in first parliamentary election for nine years
https://lihkg.com/thread/555511/page/36
Weeks of campaigning passed without any major security incidents across the country, which is threatened by spillover from the conflict in neighboring Syria. As the polls opened on Sunday, some 583 candidates were on the ballot papers for the 128-strong parliament of Lebanon, which is divided equally between Muslims and Christians. More than 3.6 million people are eligible to vote in the one-day election.
The vote is regarded as a test of a new electoral law, approved by the parliament in June 2017. The law reduced Lebanon's number of electoral districts and introduced a system of proportional representation.
But despite the reforms, there is little hope for political newcomers to break through against Lebanon's entrenched ruling elites. Observers predict that the majority of lawmakers affiliated with powerful political factions will return to their places in the assembly.
Polls opened at 7 a.m. local time (0400 UTC) to 7 p.m. Official results are expected to be announced on Monday.
