  Embattled Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau says he will resign after new party leader chosen Justin Trudeau has said he intends to step down after nine years as Canadian prime minister in the face of a mounting set of crises, leaving office once a new ruling party leader is chosen. “I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its new leader,” the 53-year-old leader told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa on Monday. “I care deeply about this country and I will always be motivated by what is in the best interests of Canadians.

 Fiji probes alleged sexual assault of two Virgin Australia crew members


Fiji police are investigating allegations of theft and sexual assault on two Virgin Australia crew members in the early hours of New Year’s Day, the government said Thursday.

The alleged attacks took place Wednesday in the nightclub area of the city of Nadi, home to the international airport, Deputy Prime Minister Viliame Gavoka said.

“The alleged incidents are regrettable,” Gavoka said in a statement.

“There were two separate alleged incidents, one being alleged theft and the other being alleged sexual assault, which affected two different crew members,” he said.

“A suspect known to police for the alleged sexual assault has been questioned. Investigation continues.”

The crew members are at a local hotel used by the airline for layovers and they are set to return home this week after helping the police probe, the minister said.

Virgin Australia has sent representatives to Fiji to provide support for the affected staff.

Australia’s foreign affairs department did not respond immediately to a request for information.

Gavoka, who is also the minister for tourism and civil aviation, said such attacks can happen anywhere and Fiji was not “immune”.

“We, as always, remind tourists to exercise caution in nightclub areas and late at night,” he said.

Fiji relies heavily on its tourism industry, with close to a million visitors a year.
