Within the first hour of its opening day, Universal Florida’s latest Harry Potter rollercoaster has amassed a staggering 10-hour wait time as thousands have descended on the park on Thursday in search of a magical thrill.

Hatice Ahmet was watching Uighur-language news clips from her home in Istanbul, when she suddenly stopped short. Nearly two years after he disappeared in China's Xinjiang province, there was her husband, in a Chinese propaganda video. "He just looks up, and his hair is shaved," Ahmet says, showing a screenshot of the video on her phone. "The newscaster said they were being transferred to a city in the interior of China." Ahmet's husband is one of an estimated million Uighurs and other ethnic minorities detained in so-called "re-education camps" and forced labor facilities as part of a massive antiterrorism campaign that has sparked concern – but little action – from the international community.

Today, the company has two things to announce — a new chairman, former Apple executive Pascal Cagni and some new funding.

Julian Assange will continue to face arrest if he leaves the Ecuadorian embassy, after a judge ruled that the arrest warrant against the WikiLeaks founder was still valid. But after the senior district judge Emma Arbuthnot ruled against Assange on Tuesday, his lawyers made a separate application that the warrant should be dropped on public interest grounds, leaving open the possibility that he could still walk out of the embassy in the near future. Assange, 46, skipped bail to enter the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual assault and rape, which he denies. Though Swedish prosecutors dropped the investigation against him, he faces arrest if he leaves the building in Knightsbridge, London, for breaching his former bail conditions in the UK. In making the public interest case, Assange’s lawyer, Mark Summers QC, said the punishment Assange faces was not proportionate, and therefore not in the interests of justice. Arbuthnot said that she would … [Read more...] about Julian Assange still faces arrest after judge rules warrant valid
