SPAIN-VENEZUELA-SPYMASTER'S FATE _ The man who became Hugo Chávez's eyes and ears in the Venezuelan military is wanted in the United States on drug trafficking charges. Ahead of an extradition hearing in Madrid, retired Maj. Gen. Hugo Carvajal says he wants to help Venezuela's opposition oust current President Nicolas Maduro. His case is being closely watched as a bellwether for how other potential Venezuelan defectors could be treated. By Aritz Parra and Joshua Goodman. SENT: 2,010 words, photos

ISRAEL-JORDAN VALLEY _ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's last-minute vow to annex the Jordan Valley if re-elected next week has sparked Arab condemnation and injected the Palestinians into a political campaign that had almost entirely ignored them. Netanyahu has made similar promises before but hasn't followed through. His current pledge to annex the Jordanian Valley was widely regarded at home as a campaign stunt to draw in right-wing voters, many of whom live in settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. SENT: 1,130 words, photos.

BREXIT _ Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament less than two months before Britain is due to leave the European Union was unlawful, a Scottish court rules _ though it said Britain's top court must make the final decision.

AFGHANISTAN-CIVILIANS IN THE CROSSFIRE _ Trump's announcement that U.S.-Taliban talks on ending the war in Afghanistan are "dead" is a deeply unfortunate wording for Afghan civilians who have been killed by the tens of thousands over almost 18 years. Many fear the canceled talks will lead to more carnage as the U.S. and Taliban, as well as Afghan forces, step up offensives and people die in the crossfire. As America mourns thousands of civilians killed in the 9/11 attacks, Afghans watch their own toll continue to rise. SENT: 1,120 words, photos.

JORDAN-RELUCTANT REFUGEES _ Nearly a year after Jordan opened its main border crossing for Syrian refugees to go home, few are taking up the offer.

SENT: 1,130 words, photos.

FRANCE-EPSTEIN _ French police are appealing for victims and witnesses to come forward to aid their probe into Jeffrey Epstein and anyone else involved in the disgraced financier's alleged sexual exploitation of women and girls, and say they have already interviewed three people who identified themselves as victims.

BEYOND CHINA-TRUMP’S OTHER TRADE FIGHTS _ President Trump has risked turmoil in the financial markets and damage to the U.S. economy in waging his trade war with China, America’s top strategic rival.

From Europe to Japan, the president has stirred up under-the-radar trade disputes that potentially could erupt within weeks or months with damaging consequences. By Paul Wiseman.

NETHERLANDS-EUTHANASIA _ A Dutch doctor was acquitted Wednesday in a landmark trial that prosecutors and physicians hope will help clarify how the country's 2002 euthanasia law can be applied to people with severe dementia.
