Europe planning new Syria sanctions

CNN — (CNN) -- The European Union planned new sanctions against Syria, spokesman Michael Mann said Wednesday, as opposition activists said government troops killed 21 more people in a months-long crackdown. European nations have been pushing for tough measures against Syria, where more than 5,000 people have been killed since demonstrations began in March 2011, according to the United Nations. The EU announcement comes as the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an opposition umbrella group, said 21 more people were killed by government troops on Wednesday. Of those, 13 were killed in Homs, the scene of the worst violence in recent weeks, with the rest scattered around the country, the LCC said.

Trump opens controversial $150M golf course in Scotland

CNN — (CNN) -- After seven years of planning and construction costing over $150 million, Donald Trump's dream to open a golf course in Scotland was finally realized on Tuesday. The U.S.-based billionaire hit the ceremonial first tee shot at Trump International Golf Links, having weathered a storm of controversy involving environmentalists, local residents and politicians. "It's been worth it," he told CNN during his rain and wind-swept round at the venue. "This is truly the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Everybody knows it. Most people are saying it and most of the golf people are saying it, most importantly."

Kurds in Syria 'waiting to take to the streets'

CNN — (CNN) -- The Kurdish people of Syria have not joined the current wave of unrest with any significant demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad and his ruling Baath party. But that could change. The Kurds, representing around 10% of the country's population, are "ready, watching and waiting to take to the streets, as their cause is the strongest," according to Robert Lowe, manager of the Middle East Centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Largely concentrated along the borders with Turkey and Iraq in the northeast of the country, the Kurds have long been described as a repressed minority in Syria.

Trump's challenge to the world's greatest golf courses

CNN — (CNN) -- Hailed as the "world's greatest golf course" by its owner before it had even opened, Trump International Links has a lot to live up to. The statement would have been ridiculed by the golfing community had it not been made by a man who has pumped $150 million into his dream to date, with plans to spend over $1 billion by the time the controversial Scottish project is completed. It has already bulldozed past environmentalists' concerns, but Donald Trump is reluctant to continue development due to a planned offshore wind farm.
