Mormons to cut nearly century-old tie with Boy Scouts, a week after decision to drop 'boy' from name

Image
The Mormon church will cut all ties with Boy Scouts, a week after movement announced its decision to drop 'boy' from its name. A statement issued by the church said it had opted for the split so it could create its own youth programme, although the two organisations' values had clearly diverged over recent years. The announcement was not a complete surprise after the religion last year removed 185,000 boys between the ages of 14 and 18 from the Scouts, signalling an end to a nearly century-old relationship based on shared values. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2I5TuGP via Latest News

Key U.S. Republican says U.S. should stay in, strictly enforce, Iran deal

The Republican chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee said on Tuesday the United States should continue to fix flaws in the Iran nuclear deal, and "enforce the hell" out of it, but not withdraw. Speaking hours before Republican President Donald Trump was due to announce whether he would pull out or stay in the international accord, Ed Royce said tearing up the deal would not recover cash sent to Iran's government or "galvanize" allies into addressing Iran's dangerous activities. "I fear a withdrawal would actually set back those efforts," he said in a statement prepared for a hearing on Iran. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2K4zVLC via Latest News
