Palace releases new portrait of Britain's Prince Philip Buckingham Palace released on Monday a new portrait of Prince Philip, painted by Australian-born artist Ralph Heimans in the year that Queen Elizabeth's husband announced his retirement from active public life. The portrait, which shows the prince standing in the grand corridor at Windsor Castle, has been painted for display at the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark. The Museum is holding a retrospective exhibition of Heimans' work in 2018, part of which aims to explore the historical and cultural connections between the royal families of Britain and Denmark, the palace said in a statement. The Duke of Edinburgh was born a Prince of Denmark and his ancestry spans both the British and the Danish royal families. Philip bowed out of public life in August, ending a royal career marked by occasional gaffes that landed him in hot water.

Bali Volcano Evacuees Sneak Back into Danger Zone Indonesia — Wayan Suta Negara makes his living mining sand on Mount Agung, the largest mountain on the Indonesian island of Bali. He was born on the slope of the sacred volcano but was forced to leave his home recently when fears of an eruption led to a mass evacuation. For the past two months, his life has been filled with uncertainty as he waits to see if the mountain erupts in the same spectacular manner it did in 1963. The volcano, which vented huge plumes of ash and smoke earlier this week, could experience a major eruption at any time, officials said on Friday. Mr. Negara, 26, and his family have fled their home and taken shelter in an empty market stall in the village of Manggis, where the authorities have set up an evacuation center. Every few days, he returns to his village, an hour away by motorcycle, to feed his dog and chickens. While he is there, he prays for the safety of his home and for his an...

Pope visits Bangladesh orphans on last day of trip headlined by Rohingya crisis Pope Francis visited a home in Dhaka founded by Mother Teresa for orphans, unwed mothers and destitute elderly on Saturday as he wrapped up his trip to Myanmar and Bangladesh. The pope, who leaves for Rome later on Saturday, was surrounded by children and nuns wearing the traditional blue-and-white habit of the woman who died in 1997 and became a saint in 2016. Mother Teresa, who started the Missionaries of Charity to serve "the poorest of the poor," opened the home in the early 1970s to look after Bengali women who became pregnant as a result of rape by Pakistani soldiers during the war of independence. Today the home, in one of the world's poorest cities, looks after orphaned and abandoned children, unwed mothers and sick elderly people. Francis, who has made outreach to the poor and other people on the margins of society a priority, visited some of the bed-...

Israel launched surface-to-surface missiles at a military installation outside the Syrian capital Damascus overnight Israel launched surface-to-surface missiles at a military installation outside the Syrian capital Damascus overnight, Syrian state TV reports. The attack caused damage but two missiles were intercepted, it added. The Israeli military has not confirmed it carried out the strike. UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights earlier reported explosions near Damascus, which it said were caused by a suspected Israeli missile attack. The extent of the damage is not yet clear although the TV report spoke of "material losses" at the base. The Syrian Observatory reported a series of power outages in several Damascus suburbs at around the same time. The target of the reported attack is unclear, although Israel has hit weapons sites before, in a bid to prevent arms being transferred to Syria's Lebanese ally Hezbollah. A...

War Criminal Drank Poison in Court, and Died. How Could This Happen? PARIS — The moment was dramatic enough: In a courtroom in The Hague on Wednesday, a military commander from the former Yugoslavia pulled out a small bottle and drank from it, declaring that he had ingested poison to protest his conviction for war crimes. The judges quickly ordered that courtroom curtains block the view of spectators in the public gallery. Live television coverage went dark. But what happened next, beyond public view, was just as shocking, according to lawyers and court officials. The war criminal, Slobodan Praljak, 72, slumped in his chair and began to gasp for breath. He was later taken to a Dutch hospital and pronounced dead. On Friday, Dutch prosecutors announced that Mr. Praljak had died of heart failure after ingesting potassium cyanide — a highly toxic compound — and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia announced that it would conduct its ...
