Germany
Travel Warning to Turkey
The German government has issued new travel warnings of risks in Turkey for German citizens in response to the detainment of six human rights activists in Turkey. Germany is no longer guaranteeing German corporate investment in Turkey after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused several German companies having ties to the movement of his political enemy, Fethullah Gullen.

Australia
Ancient Aborigines
A new archaeological find has placed the Aborigine arrival in Australia some 18000 years earlier than previously believed. This puts the total presence of the Aborigines at around 65000 years, making the Aborigines the oldest continuous civilization in history. The archaeological find, which unearthed the world’s oldest stone ax and crayons, is located in the Kakadu National Park.
