Tehran – At least 25 people were killed and 16 declared missing as flash floods hit northwestern Iran, state media reported on Saturday.

"Twenty-five people have been killed in the floods across four provinces," the head of Iran's emergency response organization, Esmail Najar, told the ISNA news agency.

Torrential rains that began on Friday lashed East Azerbaijan province, with state television showing images of rivers bursting their banks, flooded houses and cars being swept away by the surging water.

The districts of Ajabshir and Azarshahr were the worst hit.

WORLD NEWS: No winners if Korea war breaks out - China foreign minister

Beijing – There can be no winners in a war between the US and North Korea over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons and missile programs, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, while pledging support for dialogue between the sides.

Wang's comments on Friday mark the latest attempt to cool tensions by North Korea's most important ally and key provider of food and fuel aid. Any fighting on the Korean Peninsula is likely to draw in China, which has repeatedly expressed concerns about a wave of refugees and the possible presence of US and South Korean troops on its border.

China also has grown increasingly frustrated with the refusal of Kim Jong Un's regime to heed its admonitions, and in February cut off imports of North Korean coal that provide Pyongyang with a crucial source of foreign currency.

State media reported late on Friday that starting Monday, the Chinese flag carrier Air China will cancel flights from Beijing to Pyongyang due to poor ticket sales.

A booking hotline operator reached on Saturday said there were no more flights to Pyongyang for the rest of the month. She said that according to a flight schedule, there would be flights in May, June and July, but that tickets were not available for booking or purchase yet.

Air China and North Korea's Air Koryo are the only two airlines serving that route, with the latter operating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

WORLD NEWS: Facebook targets 30 000 fake France accounts before election

Paris - Facebook says it has targeted 30 000 fake accounts linked to France ahead of the country's presidential election, as part of a worldwide effort against misinformation.

The company said onThursday it's trying to "reduce the spread of material generated through inauthentic activity, including spam, misinformation, or other deceptive content that is often shared by creators of fake accounts".

It said its efforts "enabled us to take action" against the French accounts and that it is removing sites with the highest traffic.

Facebook and French media are also running fact-checking programs in France to combat misleading information, especially around the campaign for the two-round April 23-May 7 presidential election.

European authorities have also pressured Facebook and Twitter to remove extremist propaganda or other postings that violate European hate speech or other laws.

Facebook ramped up its efforts against the spread of false news and misinformation on its service in December, a month after the US presidential election. The company said at the time that it will focus on the "worst of the worst" offenders and partner with outside fact-checkers and news organisations to sort honest news reports from made-up stories.

It was accused of allowing the spread of false news in the months leading up to the US election, which critics said may have helped sway the results in favour of Donald Trump. Since December, the company has broadened its efforts beyond the US.

Last week, it launched a resource to help users spot false news in 14 countries including the US, France and Germany. It's a notification, available for a few days, that leads users to a list of tips for spotting false news and ways to report it.

Facebook's other efforts include participating with other companies and tech industry leaders to establish a "news integrity" nonprofit organisation to promote news literacy and increase the public's trust in journalism.

A nascent Facebook Journalism Project , meanwhile, is a lofty effort to work with news organisations to develop products, provide tools for journalists and generally promote trust in news. 

CRIME: 1996 Washington school shooter apologizes in his first remarks

Spokane - The prisoner who as a teenager opened fire at his middle school in Washington state more than 20 years ago has spoken out for the first time, apologising for killing a teacher and two fellow students.

Barry Loukaitis' hand-written letter to the Grant County Superior Court was filed last week as part of a court-ordered re-sentencing in the 1996 bloodshed.

"I've never apologised for what I've done," Loukaitis wrote. "I didn't because I feared that trying to apologise after doing something so terrible would only add insult to injury.

"If that feeling was wrong, I'm sorry for not speaking before," he said.

Loukaitis was 14 when he opened fire in a classroom, and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But the US Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that people younger than 16 could not receive life terms without parole.

Washington state is recommending that Loukaitis be re-sentenced to 189 years in prison. In his letter dated March 27, Loukaitis said he would not fight the move.

A hearing starts next Wednesday before Superior Court Judge Michael Cooper, the original judge in the case who came out of retirement to handle the new sentence.

Loukaitis carried a hunting rifle and two handguns into his math class at Frontier Middle School in Moses Lake on February 2 1996. He shot and killed teacher Leona Caires, 49, and classmates Manuel Vela and Arnold Fritz, both 14. Another student was wounded before teacher Jon Lane confronted and disarmed Loukaitis.

He was tried as an adult in Seattle in an attempt to find an impartial jury. He claimed an insanity defence that was rejected by the jury and convicted in 1997.

In his letter, Loukaitis described himself as a hostile and rude 14-year-old and apologised for not pleading guilty after the shootings.

"None of this should have happened in the first place," Loukaitis wrote in his recent letter. "But if it did, I could have at least have had the decency to have pled guilty instead of trying to escape justice.

"I put you and an entire community through an agonising, senseless and expensive process in an attempt to flee from justice," he wrote.

In prison, Loukaitis has earned a high school diploma and worked as a teacher's aide. 

SPORT: Everton ban tabloid over Barkley article

Liverpool - Everton banned The Sun tabloid from its premises on Saturday over an article about their player Ross Barkley that critics branded "racist".

The article in Britain's best-selling newspaper was about the 23-year-old England midfielder getting into a fight in a nightclub in Everton's home city of Liverpool.

Columnist Kelvin MacKenzie compared Barkley, who has a grandfather from Nigeria, to a "gorilla at the zoo" and said the only other people in Liverpool with his income were drug dealers.

The article was headlined "Here's why they go ape at Ross" alongside pictures of Barkley and a gorilla.

Everton said it had informed The Sun that the tabloid was banned from its Goodison Park stadium, its training ground "and all areas of the club's operation".

"Whilst we will not dignify any journalist with a response to appalling and indefensible allegations, the newspaper has to know that any attack on this city, either against a much-respected community or individual, is not acceptable."

Liverpool's mayor Joe Anderson said he had reported the article to the police and the Independent Press Standards Organisation, calling the comments "racist and offensive".

The Sun's publisher News UK said in a statement that MacKenzie "had been suspended with immediate effect".

"The paper was unaware of Ross Barkley's heritage and there was never any slur intended," the statement said.

It added the views expressed by MacKenzie about the people of Liverpool were "wrong, unfunny and are not the views of the paper".

MacKenzie said he had no idea of Barkley's family background and added: "For the mayor of Liverpool and a handful of others to describe the article as racist is beyond parody."

The Sun and MacKenzie are deeply unpopular in Liverpool. He was the paper's editor in 1989 when it published allegations about the behaviour of Liverpool Football Club fans in the Hillsborough stadium disaster.

Saturday marks the 28th anniversary of the tragedy in which 96 Liverpool supporters died.

Liverpool FC banned The Sun from their Anfield stadium and their training ground in February this year over the paper's 1989 Hillsborough coverage.

In his statement Friday, Anderson said there was a "sense of betrayal" that Everton had not done likewise.

If they did not do so before Saturday's English Premier League match against visitors Burnley, the mayor urged supporters to turn their backs to the pitch during the game.

Barkley was out celebrating his side's 4-2 win over champions Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday when his lawyers said he was caught in an "unprovoked attack" in a nightclub.

In his column, MacKenzie wrote: "Perhaps unfairly, I have always judged Ross Barkley as one of our dimmest footballers.

"There is something about the lack of reflection in his eyes which makes me certain not only are the lights not on, there is definitely nobody at home.

"I get a similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo. The physique is magnificent but it's the eyes that tell the story.

"The reality is that at 60,000 ($75,000, 71,000 euros) a week and being both thick and single, he is an attractive catch in the Liverpool area, where the only men with similar pay packets are drug dealers."

The Sun said MacKenzie was on holiday and the matter would be investigated fully upon his return.
