Paul Mackenzie convicted over deaths of children and one adult after followers were ordered to starve themselves and their families

The leader of a Kenyan doomsday sect has been sentenced to 200 years in prison for the murders of 190 children and one adult in one of the world’s worst cult disasters in recent history.

The sentence, comprising 100 years for murder by starvation and 100 years by direct homicide, came two weeks after the court in Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa found the cult leader guilty of the crimes.

Prosecutors said Paul Mackenzie and his Good News International church ran ​a Christian doomsday sect whose members were ordered to starve themselves and their children to death to go to heaven before the world ended.

Media organisations in Ireland and UK also affected as apparently coordinated effort to cause chaos continues

A fresh wave of bomb threats has disrupted air traffic across Europe but the affected planes landed safely and searches revealed no explosive devices.

The latest alerts affected at least 18 flights to or from Bulgaria, Czechia, France, Italy, Hungary, Cyprus, Romania, the UK and Portugal. Danish police investigated a threat against Copenhagen airport but the airport said it was operating normally.

The warnings followed separate threats on Tuesday and Thursday that forced at least 35 flights to be diverted or searched, raising questions over an apparently coordinated effort to cause chaos for travellers.

-Patriot missile supplies are Ukraine's No. 1 priority, Zelenskiy says

-Kyiv seeks bipartisan ties after US midterms shifted congressional control

-Zelenskiy said Kyiv working to ensure enough F-16s for next five to six months

Nov 5 (Reuters) - Ukraine must adapt to the new realities of US politics to build dialogue and address its needs for ‌more foreign aid and bolstered air defences to counter Russian attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview broadcast on Thursday.

Zelenskiy has made considerable effort to smooth over a volatile relationship with US President Donald Trump, particularly after a February 2025 Oval Office meeting during which he was accused of being ungrateful for Washington's aid. US-led talks with Ukraine and Russia on resolving the conflict are scheduled to resume next week in Abu ⁠Dhabi.

Zelenskiy, attending an Ibero-American summit in Spain, told Ukrainian television channel TSN that Kyiv had to adapt to a changed US political landscape after voters in US midterm elections put Democrats in control of Congress.

"Ukraine has to move forward towards the new political infrastructure in the United States of America," he said.

BERLIN — Hubert Aiwanger, the leader of a conservative party that has become a mainstay of Bavarian politics and sought to expand its influence across Germany, has been found dead at a Berlin hotel.

The body of Aiwanger, who was Bavaria’s deputy governor and the southern state’s economy minister, was found in his hotel room in the centre of the capital on Wednesday evening, Berlin police and prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that an autopsy carried out Thursday produced no evidence that anyone else was involved in his death.
