For protester Alvaro Melendez, the change will come because «this situation can't continue in Nicaragua,» adding that «we want a different Nicaragua.»
Anti-government protests had left at least 42 people killed since the beginning of the unrest last Wednesday. The protests were in response to a set of welfare reforms, in which employees will have to contribute a larger amount of their pay checks to the pension scheme, while simultaneously taking a five percent cut to be used for medical expenses.

US President Donald Trump claimed that Friday’s joint denuclearisation announcement by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in was down to his own personal involvement during a Make America Great Again rally in Washington, Michigan on Saturday.
“We’re doing the world a big favour, let’s see how it goes,” said Trump to a raucous reception. “And one of the fake news groups, they were saying ‘what did President Trump have to do with it?’ I’ll tell you what. How about ‘everything’?”
He added that he intends to hold meetings with Korean representatives in the next ‘three or four weeks’ but did not disclose any further details.

Michigan has been largely Democratic in recent years, with former president George H.W. Bush the last Republican to take a majority in 1988, but Trump overturned the deficit to win the state in the 2016 elections against Hillary Clinton.

«Iran destabilises this entire region. It supports proxy militias and terrorist groups,» he said. «It supports the murderous Assad regime as well. Unlike the prior administration, we will not neglect the vast scope of Iran's terrorism. It is indeed the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.»
He also assured that the US 'will continue to assist Saudi Arabia with its defence needs and support its right to defend its own borders.'
Russia: Mother confesses to strangling her two children to death
2018-04-29 16:04
Journalist *UPSOUND* (Russian): «Can you tell us something about what has happened?»
Journalist *UPSOUND* (Russian): «Do you regret it?»
Elena Karimova, Defendant *UPSOUND* (Russian): «Yes.»
Journalist *UPSOUND* (Russian): «The situation is serious. Please explain how you decided to do it? Tell us a bit about how everything happened.»
Elena Karimova, Defendant *UPSOUND* (Russian): «I won't explain it to you. I will say everything in court.»
A woman, identified as Elena Karimova, confessed to strangling her two young children to death, at a hearing in the Moscow District Court of Nizhny Novgorod on Saturday.
According to the regional Investigative Committee, the woman allegedly strangled her four-year old daughter and two-year old son in the back seat of a rented car on April 25. On the same day, the defendant allegedly attempted to get rid of the dead bodies. She reportedly bought a lighter fluid at a gas station, drove to the forest and set the bodies on fire.
Fearing that she could have been seen by hunters, she allegedly knocked down the flames with water, put the bodies back into the vehicle and returned to Nizhny Novgorod. The next day, she reportedly took the bodies to the Semenovsky district of Nizhny Novgorod Region, where she once again set them alight in an abandoned building and then fled the scene.
The defendant reportedly said that she had committed the crime because she could not financially support her children. She is believed to be divorced and unemployed. The woman spent more than 40,000 rubles (€530/$643) a month to rent a car and, shortly before allegedly killing her children, she booked a tour abroad, according to investigators.
A criminal case has been opened to investigate the violent killing of two young children. Karimova has been detained as a suspect for a period of two months.
Prior to the hearing, Karimova said that she regrets the crime; however, she did not provide further details, saying, «I will say everything in court.»

2018-04-29 16:27
Dozens of protesters attempted to remove checkpoints installed by authorities to curb the number of tourists in Venice ahead of the long weekend, during a demonstration on Sunday.
One protester said, «It's not the mayor who owns the city. It's not the police and not the tourists either. It's the people living in Venice.» He went on to say that «Venice is dying» and that «the mayor wants this city to become a city with no inhabitants, with no people.»
Demonstrators were seen taking some of the gates apart and carrying them away, despite Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro claiming that the action was to make the city more «livable» for the 60,000 residents of the historic city centre.
On Saturday, checkpoints separating tourists from local residents were placed in Venice due to the high amount of visitors expected this weekend. Checkpoints — active until May 1 — were installed in high-transit areas such as the Constitution Bridge and the Santa Lucia train station.
Only residents and those possessing a Carta Venezia for frequent visitors will be allowed along the main routes to reach the city's main tourist hotspots, while everyone else will have to take less direct routes.
Russia: 'Stalin’s Front Mammoth' recreated for Victory Day parade
2018-04-29 17:15
A recreation of the famous five-turreted T-35 tanks, made by workers at the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, was on display in the Russian town on Sunday.
Mechanics and engineers from the company recreated the design of the famous tank using plans from the 1930s. A team of 20 specialists has been working on the 40-ton vehicle for a year.
According to the company's press centre, restorers based the recreation on the original drawings and photographs of the tank, as today there is only one T-35 left, located in the Moscow Museum of armored vehicles.
The recreated T-35 tank went on a trial excursion and will participate in the Victory Day parade on May 9. Later it will join the exposition of the Museum of Armored Vehicles in Verkhnyaya Pyshma.
Head of Motor and Tractor Department of Ural Company Farid Hafizov said: «The machine is complicated. The most difficult one of all the exhibits we've ever made. The length of the machine is more than 10 meters, it has 5 towers.»
Developed before WWII, only 59 units were made but it proved mechanically unreliable and in the battle of Kursk more T-35s were lost to malfunction than enemy fire.
The T-35 tank is a legendary vehicle. It was called «Stalin's Front Mammoth» and «Land battleship». The words «For courage» are depicted on the medal. In the early 30s of the last century, it was considered the most powerful in the world.
However, the first battles of the Great Patriotic war demonstrated that the T-35 had become hopelessly obsolete. It was too slow while the armor was too thin. The majority of T-35 tanks were reportedly lost due to technical faults but not in battles.
