A leaked report says the disappearances and murders of indigenous women in recent decades amounts to a "Canadian Genocide".  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to officially unveil the report on Monday.  An early version leaked to journalists says that officially almost 1,200 indigenous women and girls went missing or were killed between 1980 and 2012, and that indigenous women and girls faced a disproportionately high level of violence through "state actions and actions rooted in colonialism and colonial ideologies".  But campaigners say that likely underestimates the problem, and the true death toll is likely in the thousands.  

Thousands watched the reburial of Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi in his home village.  He started as an anti-colonial rebel agaisnt the Portugese, but switched sides when the Cuban- and Soviet-backed government came to power, and became Ronald Reagan's favorite African insurgent.  Savimbi's UNITA group was accused of horrific atrocities, as were the ruling communists.  He was killed by government troops 17-years ago - effectively ending the conflict - an unceremoniously dumped in the simple grave from which he was extracted for this weekend's reburial.  

A Budapest court formally charged the captain of a Danube River cruise ship that crashed into a smaller sight-seeing ferry carrying 35 South Korean tourists last week.  But the court did not release details of the charges against the captain.  The smaller vessel capsized, spilling the tourists out into the river that is running faster and higher than normal.  Only seven survived, seven were confirmed dead, and the river conditions have made it impossible thus far to locate and recover the other 21 bodies.  

Italy is pulling the plug on US far-right godfather Steve Bannon's plans to use a medieval monastery in the mountains outside of Rome as a political training academy for more of his ilk.  "It's not about political opinions but respect for the law," said Gianluca Vacca, an undersecretary at Italy's culture ministry who explained that Bannon's "institute" has not paid concession fees and failed to do maintenance work on the monastery.  Locals also opposed plans to use the ancient site as a school for far-right populists.
