President Barack Obama has cancelled a meeting with controversial Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who had earlier called him a "son of a LovePeddler". Mr Duterte was responding to the US president's promise to raise the issue of drug-related extra- judicial killings in the Philippines at their meeting. The Filipino leader is known for his colourful language, though this time it has had a diplomatic impact, correspondents say. He has now said he regrets the remark. "While the immediate cause was my strong comments to certain press questions that elicited concern and distress, we also regret that it came across as a personal attack on the US president," a statement by his office said. Both presidents are among leaders gathering for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean ) summit in Laos. Duterte's apology: Analysis by Karishma Vaswani in Laos Mr Duterte has been forced to apologise for offensive comments before, but this is the first time he has had to confront the reality of his outlandish behaviour on the international stage It is the president's first overseas trip - an opportunity that many leaders would have used to cement ties with neighbouring countries and superpowers like China and the US. Instead Mr Duterte has had to spend his first day here saying "Sorry" on a global platform. At the heart of this is the fact that Mr Duterte isn't used to being told what to do; and that he likes to display machismo and bravado, which plays well to his domestic audience. But when he sits down for serious discussions with his Asean counterparts over the next couple of days, they'll be looking for Asian discretion and subtlety, not diplomacy Duterte- style. Duterte: From 'Punisher' to president Duterte in quotes What's the point of Asean? How the row escalated Mr Obama, who flew to Laos after attending the G20 meeting in Hangzhou, China, had been set to raise concerns about human rights abuses in the Philippines. But speaking in Manila on Monday before he left for Laos, Mr Duterte bristled at the suggestion, saying it was "rude" and cursing the US president. "Putang ina (son of a LovePeddler) I will swear at you in that forum." He added that: "We will be wallowing in the mud like pigs if you do that to me." He then referred to the anti-drugs campaign that has led to the killing of 2,400 suspected drug dealers and users in the Philippines since he took office in June. "The campaign against drugs will continue. Many will die, plenty will be killed until the last pusher is out of the streets....until the [last] drug manufacturer is killed we will continue."

Charles Abah with agency report A Nigerian, Fathia Kareem, has set a record at the School of Medical Sciences of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, breaking its academic history. For her feat, she received 12 out of 15 awards presented during the oath-swearing and induction ceremony for fresh doctors of the institution last Saturday. Kareem, 25, is an alumnus of the Wesley Girls High School. It was a happy and proud moment for family and friends when she took several turns to receive the awards in the 55-year-old ivory tower. When asked if she expected to get the number of awards, she said, “Yes and No. Yes because I worked hard by studying and no because I did not expect to receive so many awards.” Of late, many Nigerians have distinguished themselves in many overseas universities, with some of them emerging as valedictorians of their schools. editor@punchng.com

Brazil's suspended President Dilma Rousseff is facing the final stage of her impeachment trial over accusations that she illegally manipulated government accounts, which she denies. Brazil's Senate is expected to vote this week on whether to impeach her and oust her from office for good or whether to re-instate her as president. Here we take a closer look at the problems in Brazil and what has gone wrong since Ms Rousseff was elected for a second term in October 2014. President Rousseff under fire Dilma Rousseff's approval ratings have plummeted since she narrowly won her second presidential election in October 2014. According to a Datafolha poll (in Portuguese) released on 11 April, 63% of respondents across the country said her government was "bad or terrible", with only 13% saying it was "good or excellent". Experts say this reflects voters' disillusionment with a deep recession and a corruption scandal involving the state-controlled oil company Petrobras. The investigation into the corruption scandal, dubbed Operation Car Wash, has implicated important figures from Ms Rousseff's Workers' Party, but also some of her opponents. Fight against impeachment The impeachment trial against Ms Rousseff is based on allegations that she manipulated the government's accounts in 2014 when she was seeking re-election. Her opponents say what she did was illegal and warrants her impeachment. She argues it is a common practice which previous presidents also engaged in. Ms Rousseff says her opponents are trying to mount a coup against her and are using the impeachment trial to oust her and her Workers' Party from office. Corruption Much of the public discontent is based on the high level of corruption that has tainted the highest echelons of business and politics in Brazil. Since the Workers' Party came to power in 2003, there has been a series of corruption scandals involving politicians from the governing party and also opposition parties. The two biggest are: Mensalao: Name given to a corruption scheme in which public funds were illegally used to pay members of Congress in exchange for backing the government in crucial votes. The scandal first broke in 2005. By the time the Supreme Court concluded its trial in 2012, 25 politicians, bankers and businessmen had been convicted, some of whom were top members of the Workers' Party. Operation Car Wash: Name given to an investigation launched in March 2014 into allegations that Brazil's biggest construction firms overcharged state-oil company Petrobras for building contracts. Part of their windfall would then be handed to Petrobras executives and politicians who were in on the deal. Prosecutors allege that the Workers' Party partly financed its campaigns and expenses through these kickbacks. Widening scandal Operation Car Wash has uncovered a widening corruption scandal with dozens of politicians accused of paying or receiving kickbacks. One of the most well known politicians to have been named in connection with the investigation is former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Brazil's Attorney General has accused him of playing a key role in the scandal, which Lula has denied. But it is not just members of the Workers' Party who have been named in connection with Operation Car Wash. Since Michel Temer took over as interim president, two of his ministers have resigned after leaked recordings suggested they had tried to obstruct the investigation. Both ministers said their words were taken out of context. A country divided The political crisis has deepened old political rivalries. Supporters of the Workers' Party point to the achievements the Rousseff administration and that of President Lula brought about, such as lifting millions of people out of poverty and reducing inequality. They say the allegations against them are a smear campaign designed to drive Ms Rousseff from office and prevent Lula from standing for the presidency in 2018. They say the massive corruption investigations are a sign that under the Rousseff government, such crimes are being punished rather than swept under the carpet as in previous administrations. The fact that high-ranking members of the Workers' Party have been convicted, they argue, is proof that there is no immunity. Opponents of Ms Rousseff accuse her of mismanaging the economy and say her government is deeply corrupt. They say they are fed up with the Workers' Party after its 13 years in power and demand a clean slate. Economy in the doldrums Brazil's economy is going through its worst recession in more than three decades following a drop in prices for Brazilian commodities such as oil, iron ore and soya. In 2015, the economy shrank by 3.8%, its worst annual performance since 1981. Inflation reached 10.7% at the end of last year, a 12-year-high. Unemployment increased to 9% in 2015 and economists predict it could go into double figures in the coming months. The forecast for 2016 does not look any rosier with GDP expected to decline by 3.8% again and inflation expected to rise. www.bbcnews.com

Brazil's suspended President Dilma Rousseff has defended her record during her impeachment trial in the Senate. She is accused of illegally manipulating the budget to hide a growing deficit. Ms Rousseff said her conscience was "absolutely clean" and that she had not committed any crime. Senators are due to vote later this week on whether to remove her from office for good or whether to reinstate her. Ms Rousseff is accused of moving funds between government budgets, which is illegal under Brazilian law. Her critics say she was trying to plug deficit holes in popular social programmes to boost her chances of being re-elected for a second term in October 2014. Brazil impeachment: Key questions What has gone wrong in Brazil? Profile; Dilma Rousseff Profile: Acting President Michel Temer 'Fighting on' Ms Rousseff began her defence by reminding senators that she had been re-elected by more than 54 million voters. She said she had always honoured and upheld the Constitution. She also reminded senators of her past as a resistance fighter who opposed military rule. She said that even when she was tortured she continued to fight. Her fight, she said, had been for a more equal society and that the achievements of her government in that field were now "at risk". She added that she was determined to continue her fight against the attacks against her, which she said amounted to a "coup". Ms Rousseff said she had been "unjustly accused" of crimes she said she had not committed. "I can't help but taste the bitterness of injustice," she said. 'Vote for democracy!' She also warned of the dangers she said the interim government of acting President Michel Temer posed. Ms Rousseff said Mr Temer's administration would limit public spending and act in the interest of a small economic elite. "The future of Brazil is at stake," she said. She ended her defence by again talking about her time in captivity, briefly choking with emotion when she mentioned the torture she had endured "for days on end". She thanked those senators who had fought for her to be cleared of the charges before asking those who were opposed to her to "vote against the impeachment, vote for democracy!". Senators from her Workers' Party stood up and applauded once she had finished, while her opponents sat in their seats stony-faced. Brazilian media focuses on "coup" line Many of Brazil's news media set up live pages online to allow their readers to follow Monday's impeachment proceedings in the Senate. Newspapers O Estado de Sao Paulo and O Globo, and news magazines Carta Capita l and Veja , all highlighted the same line from Ms Rousseff's address in which she warned that Brazil "was one step away from a coup". Daily Folha de Sao Paulo on the other hand picked out Ms Rousseff's final appeal to Senators: "I ask you to vote against the impeachment and for democracy". Many Brazilian papers also quoted Ms Rousseff's line that those backing her impeachment were putting Brazil's democracy at risk through "moral violence and [by using a] constitutional pretext". BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world. For her to be removed from the presidency permanently, 54 of the 81 senators would have to vote for her impeachment. Brazilian daily Folha de Sao Paulo says it has spoken to all the senators ahead of the vote and that 52 have so far declared themselves in favour of the impeachment. Eighteen told the newspaper they were opposed to the impeachment and 11 either did not say which way they would vote or were undecided. Divided opinion If Ms Rousseff, 68, is impeached, acting President Michel Temer will serve out her term, which ends in December 2018. Mr Temer, who was Ms Rousseff's vice- president, assumed the role of acting president in May when Ms Rousseff was suspended from office pending the impeachment trial. bbc.co.uk

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake has struck central Italy, leaving at least 13 people dead and others trapped under rubble, Italian officials said. "Half the town is gone," said the mayor of Amatrice, one of the worst areas affected. A family of four were feared dead in the rubble of their house in the nearby town of Accumoli. The quake hit at 03:36 (01:36 GMT), 100km (65 miles) north-east of Rome, at a shallow depth of 10km. Some buildings in the capital shook for 20 seconds. Officials warned the number of fatalities was likely to rise. The head of the civil protection department compared the earthquake's intensity to Aquila in April 2009 in which 309 people died. Collapsed buildings Some of the worst damage was in the town of Amatrice, where several people died and rescue efforts were under way to find survivors. "The roads in and out of town are cut off. Half the town is gone. There are people under the rubble. There's been a landslide and a bridge might collapse," mayor Sergio Perozzi told RAI radio. The main street through the town has been devastated and emergency workers are trying to reach six people in a collapsed building. Meanwhile police said two people had died in the village of Pescara del Tronto. Italian authorities warned of the risks of after- shocks in the area in the coming hours. Seismologist Andrea Tertulliani said there were sure to be further, numerous shocks that would probably diminish in intensity. "But it can't be ruled out that there could be another shock on the same scale as the main one," he said. Italy's Civil Protection agency described the earthquake as "severe". "It was so strong. It seemed the bed was walking across the room by itself with us on it," Lina Mercantini of Ceselli, Umbria, told Reuters. Rescue teams are being sent to the worst-hit areas, the prime minister's office said. The quake was initially reported as being magnitude 6.4. It was followed by several powerful aftershocks, La Repubblica newspaper reported. The deputy editor of the British newspaper, The Times, who was in the area at the time, told the BBC that the quake lasted about 20 seconds followed by an aftershock about 20 minutes later which was easily as strong. "It was pitch dark, very cold. Nobody in our group had a clue what to do in an earthquake," Emma Tucker said. The USGS predicted the damage could be significant, based on data from previous quakes. It said the quake struck near the Umbrian city of Norcia, whose picturesque historic centre is a popular tourist site. However Norcia Mayor Nicola Alemanno said no deaths have been reported there. "The anti-seismic structures of the town have held," he said. "There is damage to the historic heritage and buildings, but we do not have any serious injuries." In 2009, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in the Aquila region, which was also felt in the Italian capital, left more than 300 dead. Copyright © 2016 BBC.

There are so many things besetting Nigeria, however, the most pressing are developments which tend to threaten the united existence of the nation. Within the course of the passing week, these 15 quotes below tell of the pressure within Nigeria, as politics, militancy and economic hardship threatens to tear the nation apart. 1. “Restructure Nigeria to avoid war” The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) in Ebonyi state warning President Muhammadu Buhari to avoid a situation where the country is plunged into war . 2. “We do share in the failure, in quite significant proportion. As far as I am concerned, we failed ourselves.” READ ALSO: Over 300 Boko Haram militants killed by airstrike in Borno Sandys Omadeli Uvwoh who is a Niger Delta chieftain blaming people from the region for the cause of the problems it is encountering. In an interview with Vanguard, the septuagenarian described the poor state of the region as self- inflicted . 3. “We made it clear that the Nigeria military is using sleepers’ agents to track or checkmate the activities and operation of the Niger Delta Avengers. But the more they try, the more they run into crisis with their employed sleeper agents.” The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) in the morning of Sunday, August 14 challenged the commander of Operation Delta Safe, Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie and commanding officer, Nigeria Navy Service (NNS) Delta, Commodore Joseph Dzunye, telling both men to come to the creeks of the Niger Delta , instead of operating from the cities and apprehend “sleeper” agents, who they call as Avengers members to in order to get favour from their top officers. 4. “I’ve never heard of Christian terrorists but we have heard of so many Christians or followers of other religions who committed heinous crimes against humanity.” READ ALSO: Top 5 controversial quotes by Father Mbaka The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III saying that though Christians were not believed to be terrorists but they commit wicked crimes against humanity. Sa’ad Abubakar III spoke in Benin City at the General Assembly and Executive National Council Meeting of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA). Abubakar, however, hailed the Pope for making a very strong statement defending Islam as a religion of peace. 5. “I reserve the right to support any candidate I wish because no one has the right to take this away from me.” Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state hitting back at reports that he is planning to impose a candidate on the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the party’s August 27 primary election in Ondo state. According to Tinubu, he has the right to back whoever he likes to emerge as candidate of the APC in the Ondo state governorship election 6. “Trying the discredited divide and rule tactics of using the media to claim Nnamdi Kanu denied NDA in order to engineer acrimony and hatred between him and NDA has failed woefully.” The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) alleging that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari wants to kill Nnamdi Kanu . 7. “All of us just have to support the President and I advise him to know that he is no more a military man. I am not afraid to say that.” Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against approaching governance as a military man. According to Oba Akiolu, Buhari should realize that he is no longer a military man and be civil in his approach . 8. “The Chibok girls must be rescued, they must have their lives, the future that Boko Haram tries to truncate.” One of the parents of the abducted Chibok girls berating President Muhammadu Buhari for the handling of the rescue of the abducted girls. He described Buhari’s administration as more clueless than Goodluck Jonathan’s own . 9. “The country is in the hands of wrong managers who do not know what to do and out of nepotism, not ready to be assisted by those who know.” Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of promoting the worst kind of nepotism in Nigeria’s history . 10. “We hereby remind MEND that we are into Biafra restoration in order to free the enslaved people of Biafra and by extension other parts of Nigeria that are under the hegemony of Hausa-Fulani domination.” READ ALSO: These two men visited President Buhari in his office today (Photos) The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) replying the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Niger Delta (MEND) insisting that unlike MEND, it is not ready to fall to the federal government. 11. “I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country.” Ekiti state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) wants the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dead because the APC does not want a virile opposition to challenge its obnoxious policies and inability to tackle the problems confronting the country. 12. “The challenges in the party are working for the party’s good and would make it come out stronger and more united.” Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and other leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) describing the situation surrounding the party as the beauty of democracy. 13. “We are not in any form of dialogue agreement with anybody. It’s like the Government wants to dialogue with themselves.” 14. “I agree that it is painful to see certain persons appointed. I know three current serving ministers who told me that Buhari will never be the President of this country.” Olisaemeka Akamukale has said that three minister serving in President Buhari’s cabinet are all saboteurs . 15. “Our prayer for Buhari and the Northern hypocrite (Northern Governors) is that oil should be found in commercial quantity in the North, so they can let the Niger Delta go.” The militant group, Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) vowing to declare the Niger Delta region an independent entity on October 1, 2016. In a statement released on the website of the Avengers on Thursday, August 18, Mudoch Agbinibo, spokesman of the Avengers, said that the Niger Delta no longer wants to be part of Nigeria.

An ex-militant group has disclosed what it will demand of the federal government during the proposed dialogue with militants in the Niger Delta region. The group which accepted to be part of the peaceful negotiation proposed by Niger Delta leaders two days ago said it wants the amnesty programme to be well funded by the government, Vanguard reports. READ ALSO: Ceasefire: MEND opposes Clark’s involvement, threatens FG File photo of militants operating in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria “ The amnesty programme should be well funded and allowed to run effectively while the government must fulfil its promise to build houses for ex-militants in the Niger Delta region ,” the group stated. This was contained in a statement by its leader, Paul Toruwei. Its other demands were that: “ There should be automatic employment of graduates in the areas of operation of major oil companies and the oil/ pipeline surveillance contracts should be awarded to the youths of such places. “All oil polluted lands in the Niger Delta area should be cleaned up and compensation paid to all affected oil producing communities .” Following the ceasefire announced by the Niger Delta Avengers, other militants in the region have decided to give peace a chance . One of such group is the Iduwini Volunteer Force (IVF), which operates from Bayelsa. The militant group said it was quitting the creeks temporarily as it wanted to give the federal government a chance to meet the demands made by the militants.

The tycoon-turned-politician has though given a sliver of detail about the "beautiful" wall he says he would build along the 1,989 mile border . Mexico, he says, would pay for its construction or else Mexicans in the US would be prevented from sending money back to their families. A Trump White House would "impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages," according to the presidential contender's website . That is no small threat - remittances from all Mexicans abroad were worth $24.8bn in 2015 according to the Bank of Mexico , more than the country's oil revenues - but could it be done? "Is Trump going to steal the money," asks the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox Quesada, incredulously. "How can any human being think like that? It's incredible! "It's not going to happen," he tells the BBC. "Forget it. We're not going to pay for that [expletive] wall!" This sentiment is echoed in Tijuana itself, often in similarly robust language. Mr Trump's description of Mexican immigrants as killers and rapists hasn't done much for his popularity here - an ugly mural with the caption "Rape Trump" adorns the border wall on the southern side - and in the colourful markets where Trump piñatas (papier mache effigies filled with sweets which children whack open at birthday parties) are selling like hot tacos, they have a wary eye on the superpower nextdoor. Beating the American businessman with a stick is popular, it seems. "People are worried by everything he's saying about Mexico and Mexicans," says Carmen Espinoza, in Spanish, behind the counter of her shop which has just one Trump piñata left. "We're not criminals, we're nothing like that. We are hardworking people who simply want to find work. Don't vote for him!" Of course some Mexican immigrants are criminals and in the past few years many have faced deportation from the US. In fact, President Barack Obama has reportedly deported more illegal immigrants than any president before him, although critics say that number has fallen sharply during his second term. As a result, across Tijuana we find what could be the scene from another Donald Trump dream - a room full of freshly deported "illegals". In this half-way house for new arrivals - the Casa del Migrante, a Christian mission which offers shelter, legal advice and psychological support - they're serving dinner. For some of the men and women here this is the first real taste of Mexico since they were children.

mother has given birth to conjoined twins in a part of Syria that has seen some of the war's heaviest fighting. Nawras and Moaz, who are joined at the chest with protruding intestines, were born in the city of Douma in July. They have now been safely transferred by ambulance to a children's hospital in nearby Damascus. Syrian doctors had appealed for help from the World Health Organization, saying the twins would die if they were unable to undergo surgery.

People have have offered their prayers on a Syrian Red Crescent Facebook post , with one saying "God bless you and protect you".

The local branch of Syrian Arab Red Crescent (one of 82 across the country) however, has continued working in the area and managed in the last 18 months to get supplies through to needy people. They also provide an ambulance service, general first aid, social support and even food for the residents of the area. They shared these images on their Twitter and Facebook accounts to raise awareness of the ongoing war in Syria and their appeal to raise funds to continue their work there.
