Mexican authorities in the city of Culiacan arrested Ovidio Guzman, the son of the notorious drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, on Thursday. In response, gunmen rampaged in the city streets, killing at least 29 people. And, rats are especially plentiful in the hills of Laos where they can eat 20% of the harvest. But rice farmers there take part in rat-killing tournaments that reward amateur hunters with cold, hard cash. Also, Belarusian opposition spymaster Aleksander Azarov discusses his work and ambitions for Belarus. Azarov is part of a cabinet of ministers organized by Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who declared herself the winner of presidential elections in Belarus, but  later had to flee the country. Plus, negotiations over the return of Parthenon (Elgin) marbles show signs of progress.
