Pope's Sex Abuse Board Vows To Go On Without Survivor Member

... Two teenage girls were barred by a gate agent from boarding a United Airlines flight from Denver to Minneapolis because they were wearing leggings. More > >. More > >. VATICAN CITY (AP) - Members of Pope Francis' sex abuse advisory board vowed Sunday to press ahead with their work even without abuse survivors on the panel following the resignation of a respected child advocate. The commission wrapped up a plenary Sunday saying it would "find new ways" to ensure people who were abused by clergy shape and inform its work. But no specifics were announced, and it wasn't clear if survivors would be named as members down the line. Irish abuse survivor Marie Collins, a founding member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, resigned on March 1, citing what she called "unacceptable" resistance to the commission's proposals from the Vatican's ...

Defoe Scores On Return For England In Front Of Ill Friend

... "I'd put my house on him scoring at some stage," said manager Gareth Southgate, who was playing for England when Defoe made his debut in 2004. "He's had a really positive impact on everyone. he was thrilled to be back involved in the squad.". Injuries to younger strikers seem to be the best chance of Defoe making the squad for Russia, assuming unbeaten England completes the job in the second half of qualifying. "I don't know if we can have a distinct pecking order because players that are playing well deserve the opportunity," Southgate said. "If we are going to be successful, we have got to have that competition for places. "The reality is we will always lose players to injury, we've never been able to field or pick a full cohort, so it's really important that we are able to call upon the likes of Jermain and for him to have the impact he had in a game like today.". Defoe played almost an hour before being replaced by another player out of his 20 s. The 30-year-old Vardy scored with his first touch, carrying his resurgent form for Leicester into international duty. ...

Nationwide Protests Bring Thousands To Russia's Streets

... running shoes - a reference to Navalny's assertion that tracking shipments of running shoes for Medvedev helped reveal his real-estate portfolio. Others showed up with their faces painted green, a reminder of a recent attack on Navalny in which an assailant threw a green antiseptic liquid onto his face. "People are unhappy with the fact that there's been no investigation" of the corruption allegations, said Moscow protester Ivan Gronstein. There were no comments reported from Putin, Medvedev or other top Russian politicians, leaving in doubt what the Kremlin's strategy may be for countering the protests. Previous waves of demonstrations have dissipated through inertia or the intimidation of increasingly punitive measures; under a 2014 law, holding an unauthorized protest is punishable by 15 days in jail, or five years imprisonment for a third offense. In Vladivostok, police forcefully detained some demonstrators near the city's railway terminal, in one case falling down a small grassy slope as they wrestled with a detainee. News reports and social media reported demonstrations in large cities ...

We Can't Just Get Lost In Our Own Little Bubble

... than it was. I think the mainstream media may have to back off a little bit, although in the long run I'm not sure that would make much of a difference.”. Koppel's advice: Journalists should put aside any biases and approach every story professionally. “I think the attitude now is if the president's going to call us fake media, well then war has been declared,” he says. “We can't afford to get into that kind of war.”. While the media bears responsibility for the public's lack of trust, Koppel thinks consumers of news owe it to themselves to be well-rounded and well-informed. That means reading a variety of opinions from a diversity of sources. To ignore one side or the other “just adds to more and more extreme partisanship,” Koppel says. “I think the citizen's responsibility is to seek out opinions of all kinds and to try, as best we all can, to seek out facts. That means listening to opinions we don't necessarily ...

No Apparent Reason' For Shooting On Vegas Strip Bus

... was shot and killed Saturday before the gunman barricaded himself in the vehicle, shutting down the Strip for hours, the Clark County coroner's office said. He died at a hospital. Rolando Cardenas, 55, has been accused in the shooting, and he surrendered peacefully after a standoff inside the double-decker bus that lasted more than four hours, police said. He was booked into jail on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, burglary and opening fire on the bus. An attorney for him could not immediately be found. Attempts to reach his family were unsuccessful. The bus had stopped on the Strip near the Cosmopolitan hotel-casino and passengers were leaving when Cardenas stood up and fired several rounds from a handgun, police said. The man didn't fire all of his bullets, but he did shoot at police during the barricade. Police said they didn't fire any shots. Assistant Sheriff Tom Roberts also said that authorities believe Cardenas may have had ...

Blaming Conservatives, Trump Signals New Openness To Dems

... Act, or "Obamacare." The bill was pulled from the House floor Friday in a humiliating political defeat for the president, having lacked support from either the conservative Republicans or Democrats. In additional fallout from Friday's jarring setback, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, said he was leaving the caucus. Poe tweeted Friday that some lawmakers "would've voted against the 10 Commandments.". "We must come together to find solutions to move this country forward," Poe said Sunday in a written statement. "Saying no is easy, leading is hard but that is what we were elected to do.". Trump initially focused his blame on Democrats for the failure and predicted a dire future for the current law. But on Sunday, his aides made clear that Trump would be seeking support from moderate Democrats, leaving open the possibility he could still revisit health care legislation. White House chief of staff Reince Priebus scolded conservative Republicans, explaining that Trump had felt "disappointed" that a "number of people he thought were loyal to him that weren't.". "It's time ...

Koppel Addresses Decline In Quality Reporting About Israel

... A session asked Koppel "Is anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred now growing because of the possible ban of Muslims immigrating to the United States?". "The notion for Americans and our government to single people out for entering or leaving our country because they are blacks or Jews or Muslims is not part of our way of life," said Koppel. "It is an honor to have Ted Koppel speak with us because he is so widely respected as an established broadcast journalist and was a mentor for me," said WPLG Miami television newsman Calvin Hughes, who introduced Koppel to the audience.
