By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two officials in former President Barack Obama's administration will testify on Monday in a Senate investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election and possible collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow. James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence, and Sally Yates, who was deputy attorney general, will appear before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism in the first public testimony by former officials from the Democratic administration in a congressional probe on Russia.
Countries across the world put the Philippines on notice over its deadly drug war on Monday, demanding an end to extrajudicial killings by President Rodrigo Duterte's security services. Diplomats from all continents condemned the reported surge of deaths during so-called anti-drug operations, which have claimed thousands of lives since Duterte took office last year. The Philippines was facing its regular review at the Geneva-based UN human rights council, where each country's record is scrutinised every four years.
