Serbia Will Keep Borders Open to Migrants, PM Vucic Says
Serbia won’t close its borders to migrants, the country’s Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said. Instead, Serbia will do its best to help migrants arriving at its borders, Vucic has said in an interview with German daily newspaper Handelsblatt, Serbian news agency Tanjug reported on Tuesday. Regardless of whether Croatia will build a razor wire fence along its border with Serbia - like Hungary had done – Serbia’s government won’t be putting up fences on the country’s borders, including those with Bulgaria and Macedonia, Vucic said. Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania must act together, in solidarity with Europe and demand solidarity from the other European countries to better manage the refugee crisis, Vucic said at a meeting with his Bulgaian and Romanian counterparts Boyko Borisov and Victor Ponta in Sofia last week. Borisov said after the meting that if Germany and Austria closed their borders to migrants, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia will be ready to do the same. In his interview with Handelsblatt Vucic rejected the view that the support for refugees will negatively impact economic recovery. There were more than 10,000 migrants in Serbia a week ago, stranded by limits imposed further west and north in Europe, according to the UN refugee agency. Non-EU Serbia and EU member Croatia agreed on Friday to increase the flow of asylum-seekers over their border after thousands spent a night out in the open in near-zero temperatures. The interior ministers of the two countries agreed that the Serbian authorities will send migrants directly to Croatia by train so the people won't have to trek kilometers in rain and mud. After Hungary erected razor-wire fences along its borders with Serbia and Croatia, migrants still cross from Turkey to Greece to Macedonia to Serbia, but now go west via Croatia and Slovenia.

We Added The Kardashians To Syrian Refugee Photos So People Will Give A S**t
There's a Syrian refugee crisis, which you may have heard something about. Millions have fled the violence of a Syrian civil war to make the long journey to Europe. The Huffington Post's Sophia Jones followed these Syrian refugees for three weeks through Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and Germany to observe the devastating hardships these unfortunate ... Wait, where are you going, aren't you interested in this? No, it's not in your backyard, but ... still. OK, OK, what if I spice it up a little, maybe throw a little Kardashian action in the mix? ABOUT 4 MILLION SYRIANS HAVE FLED THEIR HOMELAND AS A RESULT OF THE COUNTRY'S BRUTAL CIVIL WAR. SINCE THE START OF THE CONFLICT IN 2011, OVER 2 MILLION SYRIANS HAVE FLED TO TURKEY. MORE THAN A MILLION SYRIANS HAVE SOUGHT REFUGE IN LEBANON. MORE THAN 620,000 HAVE LEFT FOR JORDAN. THE SYRIAN REFUGEES ARE AMONG HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MAKING THE DEATH-DEFYING TRIP ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN THIS YEAR, HOPING TO REACH EUROPE. THEY FACE MANY CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH REPORTS THAT SOME REFUGEES CROSSING THE BORDER FROM GREECE TO MACEDONIA HAVE BEEN PHYSICALLY BEATEN BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHILE CROSSING INTO HUNGARY FROM SERBIA, WHEN THEY AREN'T BEING ATTACKED BY HUNGARY'S JOURNALISTS, MANY SYRIAN REFUGEES HAVE BEEN FORCED TO SLEEP IN THE COLD, MUDDY FIELDS. 71 REFUGEES SUFFOCATED TO DEATH WHILE BEING TRANSPORTED THROUGH AUSTRIA IN A REFRIGERATED TRUCK. INCLUDED WERE AT LEAST A DOZEN SYRIAN TRAVEL DOCUMENTS. AS WINTER APPROACHES, AND WITHOUT HELP, THEY COULD FREEZE TO DEATH CROSSING THE BALKANS, AN AREA THAT CAN REACH MINUS 15_° C_. EVEN IF REFUGEES GET TO GERMANY, THE PREFERRED DESTINATION OF MANY SYRIANS, SOME DON'T MAKE IT ALIVE. A SYRIAN WOMAN WHO DROWNED CROSSING THE MEDITERRANEAN WAS LAID TO REST IN BERLIN ON JUNE 16. A SECOND COFFIN, EMPTY, REPRESENTED HER SON, WHO WAS ALSO LOST AT SEA BUT NEVER FOUND. ... "KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS" RETURNS TO TELEVISION SUNDAY, NOV. 15!

Meet the Greek Orthodox priest who runs a hedge fund on the side
The Rev. Emmanuel Lemelson has managed to marry two professions that seem mutually exclusive. On one hand, he is a Greek Orthodox traveling priest. On the other, he is the manager of a modest though successful $20 million hedge fund, The Wall Street Journal reported. “My whole life I always knew things before they happened. I guess it’s just a gift from God,” Lemelson told the Journal. Lemelson set up Lemelson Capital in 2012, and runs the three-year-old Amvona Fund, His Twitter feed links to articles about tax evasion, the Greek economic crisis and stock calls. He featured on a radio show focused on trading ideas this summer, where he said he had taken a short position in Netflix. Lemelson has also found time to speak in support of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who later asked Lemelson for an invocation. > .@realDonaldTrump asks for and receives blessing from @Lemelson, a > leading champion of #Christian rights and freedom: > pic.twitter.com/yP69YmWM4s — Michael Johns (@michaeljohns) October > 1, 2015 _Read the full Wall Street Journal article here. _ Join the conversation about this story » NOW WATCH: Cop pulls a clever move to save a man from suicide

Egypt: Faith After the Pharaohs review – a magical dig into the past
British Museum, London With its miraculously preserved ancient objects – precious texts, gleeful art, children’s toys – Neil MacGregor’s last hurrah gets close to solving the mystery of religion itself Neil MacGregor’s swansong as director of the British Museum is a brilliant challenge to the modern western belief in unbelief: the cosy assumption that all sensible people are secular rationalists now. It confronts our inability to cope with a world in which religion is still passionately, viscerally, sometimes murderously, alive. Trying to understand North Africa or the Middle East without somehow going to the heart of faith is like trying to read a book in a language you don’t understand. This exhibition begins with books that are indeed written in languages I don’t understand: Hebrew, Greek and Arabic. They are some of the most precious religious manuscripts on Earth, laid side by side here,just as the communities they speak to have lived side by side in Egypt for millennia. A ninth/10th-century Jewish Bible, with bright abstract illuminations among the handwritten Hebrew letters, sits near the Codex Sinaiticus – the oldest complete Christian New Testament in the world, made at the Monastery of St Catherine in Sinai in the mid-fourth century AD (that is, under the Roman empire). Nearby is a gorgeous page from an eighth-century copy of the Qur’an, created a century after Egypt was conquered by Islam. Continue reading...
