A hardline Buddhist monk turned himself in Monday after 18 months on the run -- and less than a week before Myanmar's national elections -- a move analysts described as a bid to 'influence' the vote.

Ashin Wirathu waves to followers as he turns himself in at a Yangon police station. YANGON, MYANMAR -- A hardline Buddhist monk turned himself in Monday after 18 months on the run -- and less than a week before Myanmar's national elections -- a move analysts described as a bid to "influence" the vote.

But it was his outbursts against civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her government last year that prompted the arrest warrant for sedition. In 2017, Myanmar's highest Buddhist authority banned the monk from preaching for one year over his tirades.

Clashes in Spain as anger at virus curbs risesProtesters in several Spanish cities clashed with security forces for a second night running, police said Sunday, as exasperation and anger over coronavirus restrictions grow worldwide. Imagine...our grandparents/great grandparents went to war.All we are asked to do it stay home,or wear masks when out.Pretty sad that we can’t do that. To make it worse,the actions of not staying home, or wearing masks,can be fatal to said grandparents/great grandparents. Ironic. They're not angry at the virus. They're angry at those who think 'lockdown forever' is a serious and viable strategy.
