Greek PM Tspiras faces party revolt over bailout deal Posted: 13 Jul 2015 01:57 PM PDT BRUSSELS/ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's leftwing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras faces a showdown with rebels in his own party on Tuesday furious at his capitulation to German demands for one of the most sweeping austerity packages ever demanded of a euro zone government. Just hours after a deal that saw Greece surrender much of its sovereignty to outside supervision in return for agreeing to talks on an 86 billion euro ($95 billion) bailout, doubts were already emerging about whether Tsipras would be able to hold his government together. The terms imposed by international lenders led by Germany in all-night talks at an emergency summit obliged Tsipras to abandon promises of ending austerity.

Iran, world powers push for Tuesday nuclear deal Posted: 13 Jul 2015 02:51 PM PDT By Parisa Hafezi, Louis Charbonneau, John Irish and Arshad Mohammed VIENNA (Reuters) - Nuclear negotiations between Tehran and six world powers were set to miss a midnight deadline on Monday to reach a final deal, but diplomats from all sides said they hoped for a breakthrough in the coming hours. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said an agreement was possible on Tuesday, but Western and Iranian officials warned that sticking points remain, including a U.N. arms embargo, and that things could still fall apart. The White House said significant issues remained to be resolved and Iran faced some tough decisions.

Exclusive: Philippines reinforcing rusting ship on Spratly reef outpost - sources Posted: 13 Jul 2015 02:08 PM PDT By Manuel Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippine navy is quietly reinforcing the hull and deck of a rusting ship it ran aground on a disputed South China Sea reef in 1999 to stop it breaking apart, determined to hold the shoal as Beijing creates a string of man-made islands nearby. Using wooden fishing boats and other small craft, the navy has run the gauntlet of the Chinese coastguard to move cement, steel, cabling and welding equipment to the BRP Sierra Madre since late last year, two navy officers who have been inside the vessel told Reuters in recent interviews. It was eventually transferred to the Philippine navy, which deliberately grounded it on Second Thomas Shoal to mark Manila's claim to the reef in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea.

The United Nations children's rights agency contrasted Brazil's dismal toll -- 10,500 murders of minors in 2013 -- with Congress's focus on a law lowering the age of adult criminal responsibility from 18 to 16. The death rate for minors, UNICEF said, is higher than typical even for warzones.
