U.S.   –  As Hillary Clinton returns to Iowa on Monday, a sense of anxiety is cascading through her campaign, with an increasing sense of urgency the primary fight with Bernie Sanders is far more of a threat than once imagined, unlikely to be extinguished after the first contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Clinton has gone from all but ignoring Sanders to fiercely engaging him in recent days, a reflection of public and private polling that points to a race that is uncomfortably competitive for the Democratic front-runner. She openly questions his electability and argues that he is out of step with the party on guns and other issues. (CNN.COM/photo:Wikimedia.org)…[+]

In the courtroom in Palma, Majorca, the princess will be accused of being an accomplice to tax fraud, along with her husband Inaki Urdangarin. His supposedly non-profit company was allegedly used as a vehicle to win falsely inflated contracts from regional government bodies, before channelling the money to personal accounts via tax havens.

The amount of public funds paid to Urdangarin’s Noos Institute has been calculated at €5.6m (£4.1m; $6.07m). Princess Cristina, 50, was a board member at the charitable Noos sports foundation and, with Mr Urdangarin, co-owned a real estate company called Aizoon, which prosecutors say was used to launder embezzled funds…[+]

The Mexican attorney general’s office says it will begin the process of extraditing recaptured drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the US. It said the move was in line with US extradition requests from 2014. On Friday Guzman was detained and sent back to the maximum-security prison he escaped from six months ago.

Guzman, who was one of the world’s most wanted drug traffickers, escaped from there in July through a tunnel dug in the showers. Previous requests from the US have been turned down, but correspondents say Mexican authorities may have decided it is no longer safe to hold him in the country, such is his ability to bribe and buy officials.

A man confessed, Thursday , to taking out his penis and making lewd gestures to a female. He also admitted to damaging a door at a City Constabulary outpost. As a result he was jailed for a total of five months by Magistrate Alex Moore, when he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. Balram ‘Dog Mouth’ Singh (no address given) was slapped with three charges damage to property, indecent exposure and indecent assault. He pleaded guilty to all the charges.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo:Kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
