Iran: Hundreds of Shias hold ceremony in honour of Muhammad al-Mahdi 2018-11-17 22:19 Hundreds of Iranian Shia Twelver Muslims gathered in Tehran to celebrate the anniversary of what they believe is the beginning of the twelfth Shia Imamate on Saturday. Footage shows the ceremony attendees as they gather in the Iranian capital. Many of those in attendance called for greater solidarity between Muslims worldwide. Twelver Shiism is the state religion of Iran and adherents make up roughly 85 percent of all Shias worldwide. According to Twelver theology there have been 12 divinely ordained descendants and successors of the Prophet Muhammad who are known as the 'Twelve Imams'. They believe that the 12th Imam will be the 'Mahdi', or messiah, who will arrive on judgement day and get rid of all evil in the world. This Imam Mahdi, or Zaman, is said to have been born in the 9th century and is believed to still be alive, although disappeared from the face of the earth, waiting to return at the end of days. Other sects of Shia Islam disagree with this interpretation believing in different numbers of Imams and therefore differ as to who they believe is the Mahdi. Most followers of Sunni Islam, which includes around 85 percent of all Muslims, do not believe that the Mahdi has been born yet.

Netherlands: Dozens march against black-faced 'Zwarte Piet' in The Hague 2018-11-17 23:34 Dozens of people marched in The Hague on Saturday to protest against the Zwarte Piet ('Black Piet') caricature, accusing it of racism because of its employment of black-face painting. The march was organised by the Kick Out Zwarte Piet (KOZP) group, which has been hosting demonstrations to create awareness around the Sinterklaas (Dutch Santa Claus) helper, in a bid to get the character changed. The group demonstrated in around 10 different municipalities this weekend. Due to the presence of hooligans and right-wing extremists, KOZP had previously been revoked authorisation to demonstrate in The Hague, according to KOZP activist Mitchell Esajas. Although some claim the custom has its origin in European folklore, the modern tradition supposedly originates with the 'Black Moors' of Spain and Andalusia, with people donning blackface and Moorish 'renaissance' clothes to act as Zwarte Piet, a black 'slave-demon' forced to assist Santa Claus. «Вести в субботу»: Эфир от 17.11.2018 2018-11-18 00:03 Как поднять русскую провинцию?
