For the first time ever, global business executives ranked the United States outside the Top 10 in international surveys of competitiveness. The US was firmly in the top spot for decades, and was never out of the top three. According to this year's survey, executives pushed the United States to #12, while Asian economies Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the UAE snagged four of the top eight spots.

This survey of international business leaders mirrors what everyday Americans tell pollsters at home: the United States is on the wrong track, and American citizens' confidence in national institutions are at all-time lows.

But our policymakers rely on other surveys, such as from the World Economic Forum and the UN, which continue to show the US as the most competitive. Why is there such an apparent disconnect, between what business executives say about doing business in and with America, and what transnational organizations claim?

Relatives of civil-rights activist Malcolm X are suing US law enforcement agencies for complicity in his assassination 60 years ago.

They claim the FBI, CIA and the New York Police Department were all aware of a plot to assassinate him but did nothing to stop it, seeking $100m in damaged.

Three men were convicted of his murder, but two were exonerated more than 50 years later when the case was re-examined.

Lyrics:
Let us begin, what, where, why or when
Will all be explained like instructions to a game
See I'm not insane, in fact I'm kind of rational
When I be asking you, "Who is more dramatical?"
This one or that one, the white one or the black one
Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one

Rwanda-backed M23 Rebels Capture Kavumu Airport, Move Closer to Bukavu | Firspost Africa | N18G

Rwanda-backed M23 rebels continue their advance in DR Congo's mineral-rich east. The rebels have seized the airport serving the city of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province. This represents a major strategic victory for the rebels, as it cuts off air supply routes for DRC army and humanitarian operations in the region. The rebels have so far North Kivu's capital Goma, the largest city in mineral-rich east. They have now entered neighbouring South Kivu and have seized Kavumu, where the army had set up a defensive line. After breaching this they can easily target South Kivu's capital Bukavu. Rebels' advance come as African leaders are gathering to discuss the crisis at the AU summit.
