An earthquake in Oaxaca, Mexico was pretty bad, but then a military helicopter assessing the damage crashed, killing 13 people. 
Oaxaca, Mexico
Three children were among the dead, but Mexico's interior minister and the governor of Oaxaca who were riding in the helicopter survived.  It appears that all of the fatalities were in two vans on the ground when the aircraft came down on top of them.  The powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake didn't kill anyone directly, but caused property and infrastructure damage in an area that was still recovering from killer quakes last year.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is dismissing election-meddling charges against 13 Russians and three Russian companies as "blather".  US Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's indictments specify a number of allegations against the so-called "Internet Research Agency" of Saint Petersburg, which was owned and controlled by a top ally of Vladimir Putin outside the actual Russian government.  US national security adviser H. R. McMaster said the evidence of Russian "disinformation, subversion, and espionage" in the 2016 election "is now incontrovertible". 

The far-right, Euro-skeptic UK Independence Party (UKIP) sacked its leader Henry Bolton for racist text messages about Prince Harry's fiancee, Meghan Markle.  The texts were sent by Bolton's girlfriend Jo Marney who was suspended as a party member in the same party vote on Saturday.  Yeah, I know:  Who would have suspected that overt racism would pop up in a bunch of xenophobes?  Could have knocked me over with a feather.   Bolton was the UKIP's fourth leader in 18 months.

Poland's Prime Minister made everything worse by spouting off on the alleged "Jewish perpetrators" of the nazi Holocaust of World War II.  Parties across the spectrum are calling on Israel to withdraw its Ambassador from Warsaw in response to Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki's comments, which are being called "anti-Semitism of the oldest kind" and "Holocaust denial".  Poland's far-right government is still feeling defensive about Polish collaborators, even after restricting free speech by making it illegal to refer to nazi concentration camps in Poland as "Polish death camps".  Israel Labor party leader Avi Gabbay said, "The blood of millions of Jews cries from the earth of Poland over the distortion of history and the escape from blame.  Jews were murdered in the Holocaust and Poles took an active part in their murder."  Although the nazis killed millions, scholars estimate that Poles killed about 200,000 Jews during the genocide.

Boko Haram is blamed for a triple suicide bombing at a fish market that killed 19 people.  This happened in the terrorist group's familiar hometurf in the northeast, outside Maidugari:  "Two of the bombers attacked the Tashan Kifi fish market," said Babakura Kolo of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), "Then four minutes later, a third bomber struck nearby."  Although Nigeria's military has pushed Boko Haram out of the territory it once occupied, the group has struck back from time to time with suicide bombings targeting civilians, usually carried out by children.
