Monkey in 'selfie' cannot sue for copyright, U.S. court says
The dispute stemmed from a famous image that Naruto, a rare crested macaque who lives on an nature reserve, snapped using a camera that British photographer David Slater left mounted and unattended during a 2011 trip. "The panel held that the monkey lacked statutory standing because the Copyright Act does not expressly authorize animals to file copyright infringement suits," said the judges of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in San Francisco.

What do we know about Alek Minassian, arrested after Toronto van attack?
The Toronto van attack suspect is a socially awkward student who graduated from college last week, his former classmates say.  Alek Minassian, a 25-year-old student, was arrested after 10 people were killed by a van in northern Toronto on Monday evening.  He was taken into custody after the rented vehicle ploughed into a crowd, leaving a further 15 people hospitalised. Video footage showed a suspect being handcuffed after a tense stand-off with armed police. Authorities are still attempting to establish a motive for the attack.  The Globe and Mail spoke to three of Minassian's former classmates who described him as being socially awkward, believing he may have suffered from a social or mental disability.  Police now inside home of Toronto van suspect.

Canadian lynched by villagers in Peruvian Amazon after death of elderly healer
Police in Peru were last night preparing a series of arrests over the lynching of a Canadian man accused by villagers of murdering an 81-year-old medicine woman. Sebastian Woodruffe's body was found in a shallow grave on Saturday in a remote village in the Amazonian region of Ucayali. The 41-year-old had been accused by locals of the murder of Olivia Arevalo, a traditional healer of the Shipibo-Conibo tribe. She was shot twice and died on Thursday near her home, said Ricardo Palma Jimenez, the head of a group of prosecutors in Ucayali. Arevalo had been working with traditional plant medicine since the age of 15, and came from a long line of healers, according to the Temple of the Way of Light centre, where she worked. The centre published a YouTube video that shows her singing one of her curing songs. Ricardo Franco, Arevalo's nephew, described her to a Peruvian TV station as "the mother that protects the Earth in the jungle". He said she was "the most beloved woman" in the tribe. Woodruffe was believed to have been one of her clients, and some reports on social media suggested that she was killed for refusing to perform an ayahuasca ceremony - a hallucinogenic spiritual ritual increasingly popular with Westerners. Other reports indicated a row over debts. Arevalo's sons disputed both versions, however, saying that she had stopped performing ayahuasca ceremonies due to her health. Sebastian Woodroffe was found buried.

North Korea has stepped up executions, says top US commander
North Korea has stepped up its executions, the top commander of US troops on the Korean Peninsula said on Monday, amid increasing strain on the its military from international economic sanctions. "We're seeing some increase in executions, mostly against political officers who are in military units, for corruption," General Vincent K Brooks, the top US commander in South Korea told the Wall Street Journal. He added that the actions "are really about trying to clamp down on as much as possible on something that might be deteriorating and keeping it from deteriorating too quickly." In recent months the South Korean press has reported the possible execution of Park In-young, the official in charge of Pyongyang's nuclear test facilities, and former military chief, General Hwang Pyong-so, who was accused of allegedly taking bribes. General Brooks also noted a recent shift in the pattern of defections from the North. "We're seeing defections happening in areas where we don't generally see them, for example crossing the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone on the border)," he said. Meanwhile, North Korea has been cutting back on its winter military drills as harsh sanctions over its nuclear and weapons programme begin to bite, say analysts.

Taipei had called Lee's jailing "unacceptable" and a serious blow to cross-strait relations, while his wife Lee Ching-yu called his trial a "political show".
