Judge Pobbio Silva Da Flor kept him in custody while psychiatrists prepare reports. The defendant shouted that the judge is socialist and compared the court to a Gulag. He claimed he acted in legitimate defense of the church and Our Lady.

The Kenyan chaired Nairobi talks delayed a vote on an Algerian proposal to bar Israel from ITU meetings as behind the scenes talks sought a compromise. The United States and Britain pressed to keep Israel included, warning of potential withdrawals from U.N. agencies and aid cuts. African nations’ votes could decide, with lobbying intensifying over perceived U.N. system stakes.

Fed policy shift fuels hopes of quicker recovery
Economists see the Fed moving away from money supply targets to ease inflation without derailing growth. A gradual easing could lower real borrowing costs, spurring investment, hiring, and profits despite pockets of inflation. Bernard Schoenfeld of Irving Trust cites a two year moderation outlook, with inflation around 5 percent next year, down from last year’s 12 percent and a 6 percent forecast for this year, arguing extra liquidity will not derail progress as unemployment lingers and manufacturing underutilization remains.
