Britain's immigration minister says UK citizens may have to pay for visas to visit European Union nations after the country leaves the bloc.
	Home Secretary Amber Rudd said that would not be desirable, "but we don't rule it out."
	Rudd told the BBC today that Britain would get the best deal it could from the EU, but it would be a "two-way negotiation."
	The EU's Schengen zone which includes most nations in the bloc is considering an electronic travel authorization system similar to one the US uses for visitors from selected countries.
	Visitors from outside the EU would have to apply online and pay a fee before traveling.
	Labour Party immigration spokesman Andy Burnham says Rudd's comments "will not have reassured ordinary families about the cost of Brexit.

Even satire has a shelf life. In a presidential campaign with fast-changing headlines that sometimes defy belief, The Onion has managed to maintain its niche by becoming more agile, just like real news organisations.
	The 28-year-old satirical media outlet, famous for creating fake news, has evolved with technology a bit like everyone else, including the news industry it parodies. For the first time, The Onion this summer sent staffers to the Democratic and Republican conventions.
	"Although technology requires media to be much quicker, it also allows us to be a bit faster, and we've started training ourselves and developing ways that we can be a little more reactive, too," said Matt Klinman, The Onion's head writer for video.
	Klinman was part of a team of staffers sent to the conventions in Philadelphia and Cleveland with a goal of mocking the news in something close to real time. Its video team quickly posted full-length clips of high-profile convention speeches on Facebook, ...

The US marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 today, with a moment of silence marking the instant when a hijacked plane crashed and revealed that the deadliest terror attack on American soil was underway.
	At ground zero, hundreds of victims' relatives and dignitaries gathered to hear the reading the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed under an overcast sky that shrouded the 1,776-foot-tall top of One World Trade Centre, the centrepiece of the rebuilt site.
	"It doesn't get easier. The grief never goes away. You don't move forward it always stays with you," said Tom Acquaviva, of Wayne, New Jersey, who lost his son Paul Acquaviva.
	President Barack Obama was scheduled to speak at an observance at the Pentagon. Hundreds of people also were expected at a ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

	Boat traffic on the canal was halted, but the rail bridge was not seriously damaged.

Protection efforts in South Africa's biggest wildlife park have reduced rhino poaching there, though poaching syndicates may be moving operations to parks elsewhere in the country, a top official said today.
	The carcasses of 458 poached rhinos were found in Kruger National Park between January and the end of August, down about 18 per cent from the same period last year, said Edna Molewa, South Africa's environmental affairs minister.
	The African News Agency quoted Molewa as saying that poaching groups may be responding to pressure in Kruger park by killing more rhinos in other areas, although rhino poaching nationwide is still down from last year. Areas where rhino poaching has increased include the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Free State and the Northern Cape.
	Poachers killed 36 elephants this year in Kruger park, a worrying development in an area that had been mostly unaffected by the Africa-wide slaughter of elephants. A study released last month reported a big decline in the ...

The woman in an iconic photo shown kissing an ecstatic sailor in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II has died. Greta Zimmer Friedman was 92.
	Friedman, who fled Austria during the war as a 15-year-old, died Thursday at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia, from complications of old age, her son, Joshua Friedman, said.
	Greta Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant in a nurse's uniform when she became part of one of the most famous photographs of the 20th century.
	On August 14, 1945, known as V-J Day, the day Japan surrendered to the United States, people spilled into the New York City streets from restaurants, bars and movie theaters, celebrating the news.

Colombia's largest rebel group has handed 13 child soldiers over to an international humanitarian mission as part of a deal to end decades of bloody fighting.
	The International Red Cross said in a statement yesterday that the minors were in good health and were being transported to a temporary shelter under the supervision of the United Nations Children's Fund.
	The humanitarian gesture comes in the wake of a deal reached last month between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, and the government to end a half-century of hostilities.
	Out of respect for the minors' privacy, the Red Cross did not say where the handover took place or provide their ages.
	The FARC has long faced accusations of violating human rights norms by forcing minors to join its ranks, as a way to demonstrate its military strength in rural areas where it is dominant. Between 1975 and 2014, almost 12,000 minors are believed to have been illegally recruited, Colombia's chief prosecutor says.

A 29-year-old woman whom authorities allege is part of a female "terrorist commando" that tried to carry out an attack near Notre Dame Cathedral is going before a judge for preliminary charges.
	The Paris prosecutor's office said the woman, identified as Ornella G., was appearing before an anti-terrorism judge today.
	Prosecutor Francois Molin says the woman's fingerprints were found in a car loaded with gas canisters discovered Sunday near Notre Dame. She was arrested Tuesday with a companion near the southern city of Orange.
	Molins said yesterday the investigation of the aborted attack has led to the dismantling of a "terrorist commando of young women" aligned with the Islamic State group.
	Three other women were arrested Thursday night near Paris, including the 19-year-old daughter of the vehicle's owner.

	The pilots aboard the Boeing 767 declared an in-flight emergency about two hours after taking off from Gatwick Airport.
	It landed safely at Keflavik airport, and the airline said "all guests and crew will be taken care of until we arrange new flights."

	It declined to say how many people were onboard, citing competition reasons.
	WestJet spokeswoman Lauren Stewart said that declaring an emergency "does not necessarily mean an actual emergency has occurred," and is a measure taken "out of an abundance of caution.

Mali's defence ministry says three soldiers were killed and two seriously injured in an attack by unidentified gunmen near the central town of Boni.
	A ministry statement said the "ambush" occurred yesterday on the road linking Douentza and Gao in the central Mopti region.
	Northern Mali fell under the control of Islamic extremists in 2012, prompting a French-led intervention that drove them from cities and towns.
	Northern and central Mali remain unstable and attacks on security forces are common. The militant group Ansar Dine is especially active in central Mali.
	Earlier this month, President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita removed Defense Minister Tieman Hubert Coulibaly from his post after militants briefly took over the town of Boni.
	Coulibaly was replaced by Abdoulaye Idrissa Maiga, former minister of territorial administration.

The remains of Jacob Wetterling, an 11-year-old boy kidnapped from a rural Minnesota road nearly 27 years ago, have been identified, authorities said, providing long-awaited answers to a mystery that has captivated residents and sparked changes in sex offender laws.

The families of two well- known Utah climbers who went missing on an icy mountain peak in Pakistan have called off the search for them.
	Jonathan Thesenga, a representative for one of the climber's sponsors, said yesterday that the families of Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson made the "extremely difficult decision" based on how much time had passed and the continuously stormy weather.
	Search team members as well as expert observers agreed the chances of finding any sign of the two were extremely slim, said Thesenga, global sports marketing manager for Utah-based Black Diamond Equipment, which was sponsoring Dempster.
	According to Thesenga, the Pakistani military conducted exhaustive sweeps over the men's likely descent route with two helicopters. The aircraft also flew over where they were last seen. Yesterday was the first day that the weather was clear enough for flyovers.
	A rescue effort was launched last Sunday near northern Pakistan's Choktoi Glacier after the men failed to ...
