An Australian scientist is dead, found buried in a shallow grave along with her sister in Argentina.  University of New England microbial ecologist Professor Lily Pereg and her sister Pyrhia Sarusi from Israel went to the South American country to see Sarusi's son, Gilad in Mendoza.  He is now under arrest on homicide charges, as preliminary autopsy results indicate at least one of the two had been shot and the other showed signs of having been dragged.  Professor Pereg was a scientist of international note; she chaired the soil, microbiology and biodiversity subdivision of the European Geosciences Union.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is promising "no mercy" after the so-called Islamic state claimed responsibility for the church bombing that killed 20 people in Jolo City.  "We will pursue to the ends of the Earth the ruthless perpetrators behind this dastardly crime until every killer is brought to justice and put behind bars," read the statement from Duterte's office.  The first bomb went off inside Our Lady of Mount Carmel cathedral, killing several and sending survivors running for the door where the second bomb went off.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is rejecting demands from European powers to hold fresh elections: "They should withdraw this ultimatum," Maduro said, "Venezuela is not tied to Europe."  The UK, France, Germany and Spain say if Maduro doesn't set new polls they will recognize opposition figure Juan Guaido as president, even though there has been no election and there is evidence that no one has even heard of this guy before two weeks ago.  Meanwhile, Maduro is denouncing as a "traitor" his top military representative to the US Jose Luis Silva, who has defected and is urging the military to stop backing Maduro and switch to Guaido.

The search for survivors has resumed at the Feijao iron ore mine near the town of Brumadinho, Brazil, where a tailings dam burst on Friday sending a torrent of red sludge down.  There was a delay on Sunday because of an alarm that warned of a possible problem with a second dam at the site, owned by Vale SA, but so second collapse occurred.  At least 37 people are dead and 250 are missing after Friday's disaster.

Thousands of so-called "red scarf" demonstrators marched through Paris to oppose the violence and chaos that has accompanied the "yellow vest" protests.  Cops didn't launch tear gas grenades or shoot water cannons at the middle class supporters of the status quo, nor did the red scarves attempt to address the economic stress and inequity that gave birth to the yellow vests. 

The International Paralympic Committee has stripped Malaysia of hosting the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships for refusing to allow Israelis compete.  "When a host country excludes athletes from a particular nation, for political reasons, then we have absolutely no alternative but to look for a new championships host," said International Paralympic Committee (IPC) president Andrew Parsons.  Malaysia banned the athletes because of what Kuala Lumpur sees as Israel's poor treatment of Palestinians.
