Top story: UN ‘in mourning’ after staff killed in disaster Good morning. I’m Martin Farrer and these are the top stories this Monday morning. Chinese airlines have been ordered to ground all their Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft in the wake of the Ethiopia Airlines crash yesterday, which killed all 157 passengers and crew on board. China’s aviation regulator said this morning that it had told domestic airlines to suspend operation of the new model of plane, which was also involved in the Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October which killed 189 people. Ethiopia Airlines said it had grounded its four other Max 8 planes and Cayman Airways also said it would suspend operation of its two aircraft of that type. The involvement of the plane in the two disasters has alarmed aviation experts and has raised more doubts about its autopilot functions. China has taken delivery of about 60 of the aircraft since its launch, making the size of its fleet second only to the US. As the … [Read more...] about Monday briefing: Airlines ground Boeing jets after Ethiopia crash

2018 midterm elections: Youth voters could affect races nationwide
Caroline Simon USA TODAY Published 9:28 AM EST Nov 4, 2018 Less than a week after a gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school, shooting survivor and high school junior Jaclyn Corin found herself in at the Florida state Capitol. There in Tallahassee, she led a group of more than 100 students to attend more than 70 meetings with state legislators, urging them to pass measures that might prevent mass shootings like the one that had just ravaged their school. Corin, 18, called the trip "eye-opening." She said she met several legislators who weren't receptive to what she had to say.

A tale of blood, betrayal and family bonds. How El Chapo came to trial
The bus heaves through frayed barrios on the edge of Culiacán – the state capital of Sinaloa in western Mexico – on to the open road and mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, heading for remote Badiraguato, gateway to the mountain forest terrain they call ‘El Chapo country’. It’s the birthplace of the man standing trial in New York on 5 November: Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, reputedly the world’s biggest and richest druglord. In a book about El Chapo – entitled The Last Narco (there’s no chance of that) – Malcolm Beith writes of the curious surprise among fellow passengers at Beith’s presence on the same route a decade ago: “it’s not every day that a white man or any foreigner ride this bus into the hills”. Nowadays, everyone knows exactly why you are there. I have no one to meet – my only contact around here, the journalist Javier Valdez Cárdenas, was slain by the mafia in … [Read more...] about A tale of blood, betrayal and family bonds.
