Yes — this “leak” actually contains spreadsheets of private, sensitive information of what appears to be every female voter in 79 out of 81 provinces in Turkey, including their home addresses and other private information, sometimes including their cellphone numbers. If these women are members of Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (known as the AKP), the dumped files also contain their Turkish citizenship ID, which increases the risk to them as the...

After the Soviet ruler banished thousands of “enemies of the state” to the empire's furthest reaches, the shame and stigma kept most quiet for decades.

Deplorable Olympic bosses have tainted the legacy of the entire sporting movement by failing to stand up to Russia's blatant cheating.

India is capable of growing in double digits, but even today, it continues to set limits on its growth. No government since has fully committed to the reform process that Singh began. No Indian leader -- not even Singh during his tenure as Prime Minister -- has really tried to convey to Indian voters exactly why the economic freedom that seemed within grasp back then was important, and more of the same would transform their lives. Thus the reform process remains woefully incomplete.

As Kashmiris seethed with desperate anger that day, Indian paramilitaries and police were deployed across the region. In hundreds of locations, people came out to mourn Burhan and raise their voices against the Indian occupation. The vast majority were unarmed. In some places, protesters picked up stones and charged at camps of Indian soldiers and police.

Once a force, the shadowy movement is now more likely just an excuse for the President to consolidate power.

From the refugee crisis to terror attacks, the chancellor should be losing support. She's never been more popular.

Lena Jakat, The Guardian
Munich is one of Europe's safest places and the capital of ‘this cannot happen here' – but this mantra may not be enough to help the city cope.

Josh Rogin, WaPo

The candidate will need to push hard against Trump's doomsday message and tout her foreign policy credentials.

John Schindler, Observer
I'm anything but a Hillary fan, as my extensive reporting on her crimes and lies in EmailGate can attest. However, I am far more troubled by the naked interference of the Kremlin and its spy agencies in American democracy, which is a threat to our freedoms beyond anything the Clintons might do. Every American should demand thorough investigation of the DNC leak and it's well past time for the mainstream media to examine closely what Wikileaks really is—as I've been doing for years.

In remarks published in the "Welt am Sonntag" newspaper Sunday, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann advocated for the army to be allowed to deploy within Germany.

Israel is the only hope Arab Christians have left.

Turkey's military coup attempt failed, but an institutional coup is now underway, and it's been a huge success.

Tony Brenton, Telegraph
Our new Foreign Secretary has made very clear his dislike of Russia's behaviour. His opposite number, Sergei Lavrov, is among the longest serving, toughest and most intelligent of those he will meet on the foreign ministers circuit. But Lavrov will want to learn what post-Brexit role Britain sees for itself. Mr Johnson should find an early opportunity to make it clear that if Russia breaks the rules we will be among those who insist it pays, but we are also keen to reverse the slide into long-term confrontation.

The tacit social contract between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the people has begun to fall apart

Josh Marshall, Talking Points Memo
Over the last year there has been a recurrent refrain about the seeming bromance between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. More seriously, but relatedly, many believe Trump is an admirer and would-be emulator of Putin's increasingly autocratic and illiberal rule. But there's quite a bit more to the story. At a minimum, Trump appears to have a deep financial dependence on Russian money from persons close to Putin.Â

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is taking advantage of last week's failed coup to consolidate his power. As the country slides into a dictatorship, there is a lot at stake for the West. But the effects in Turkey itself promise to be far greater. By SPIEGEL Staff

The time for frivolousness is over as the grown-ups take over Downing Street.

Joris Luyendijk, Guardian
Nobody wants to be vindictive, but maximum political and economic damage would stop other arsonists. And it could help British democracy reinvent itself.

Even at the height of the Cold War, it was hard to find a presidential campaign willing to charge that its rival was essentially secretly doing the bidding of a key American adversary.

Patrick Tucker, Defense One
Evidence suggests that a Russian intelligence group was the source of the most recent Wikileaks intel dump, which was aimed to influence the U.S. election.
