The U.S. State Department said on Saturday it had imposed sanctions on a general of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who commanded units blamed for a massacre of protesters in November. The U.S. State Department has said previously it had received videos of the Revolutionary Guards opening fire without warning on protesters in Mahshahr county in southwest Iran.

A missile attack launched by Shiite rebels in Yemen hit an army camp Saturday, killing at least 25 troops, Yemeni officials said.

Forces loyal to Libyan military strongman Khalifa Haftar blocked oil exports from the war-ravaged country's main ports Saturday, raising the stakes on the eve of an international summit aimed at bringing peace to the North African nation. The move to cripple the country's main income source was a protest against Turkey's decision to send troops to shore up Haftar's rival, the head of Tripoli's UN-recognised government Fayez al-Sarraj. It comes ahead of Sunday's conference in Berlin that will see the United Nations try to extract a pledge from world leaders to stop meddling in the Libyan conflict -- be it through supplying troops, weapons or financing.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday warned Europe it could face new threats from terrorist organisations if Libya's UN-recognised government in Tripoli were to fall. In the article, published on the Politico news website on the eve of a Libya peace conference in Berlin, Erdogan said the EU's failure to adequately support the Government of National Accord (GNA) would be "a betrayal of its own core values, including democracy and human rights". The GNA led by Fayez al-Sarraj has been under attack since April from strongman Khalifa Haftar's forces based in the east of the country, with fighting killing more than 280 civilians and 2,000 fighters.

Four years after the inaugural Women's March, thousands came out to protest with renewed energy, focusing on Trump, climate change and civil rights.

(Bloomberg) -- A lack of political will and understanding is hindering German sovereign wealth and pension funds from investing in the country’s startup and tech scene, the co-founder of GetYourGuide said.“When our company goes public, we will benefit, our employees will benefit and non-European pension funds will benefit,” Tao Tao, who’s also chief operating officer, said in an interview at the Digital Life and Design conference in Munich Saturday. “It would be nice if European pension funds and insurers could also benefit.”In May, the Berlin-based online seller of travel activities received a $484 million investment led by Softbank’s Vision Fund that valued the company at well over 1 billion euros, a person familiar with the matter said at the time. The company has no immediate plans to list on the stock exchange, Tao said.Tao said it was time for a new wave of political leadership in Germany to push for change, and cited France’s President Emmanuel Macron as having taken a progressive view.Macron was set to announce a multibillion-euro pledge by banks and insurers, including Axa SA and Aviva Plc, to invest in France’s technology companies, his office told reporters in September. The French daily La Lettre A said the commitment may amount to 5 billion euros ($5.5 billion) over three years; his office declined to confirm the report at the time.Wealth Hostility Holds Back Silicon Valley-Type Boom in Europe“We’re lacking the right conditions to create an ecosystem,” Tao said in the interview. “We need to increase cooperation, increase investment, and become sovereign in our technology.”GetYourGuide, which employs about 500 people, has sold more than 25 million tours for activities that include shark diving off Cape Town and helicopter rides over Arizona’s Grand Canyon.\--With assistance from Oliver Sachgau.To contact the reporter on this story: Sarah Syed in London at ssyed35@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Giles Turner at gturner35@bloomberg.net, Ros Krasny, Steve GeimannFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
