Pakistan Islamists to end blasphemy protests after deal with govt

Image
Islamist hardliners incensed by the acquittal of a Christian woman for blasphemy in Pakistan said Friday they would end mass protests after reaching a deal with the government. Pir Ijaz Qadri, spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan party (TLP) -- which has largely led the demonstrations -- announced the conclusion of three days of sit-ins that have blocked major highways and caused gridlock across swathes of the country. The demonstrations broke out after the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday overturned a blasphemy conviction for Christian mother Asia Bibi, ending her eight year ordeal on death row but infuriating Muslim conservatives. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2qobTmT via Latest News

In Montana, the GOP Aims to Nationalize the Senate Race

Understand two things about Montana senator Jon Tester (D.). Repeated enough in the national press to become clichés, these facts nonetheless point to two competing forces in the Senate contest between the incumbent Tester and the Republican challenger Matt Rosendale: Will Tester’s brand as an authentic Montanan be enough to save his seat in a state that is red and getting redder? Somewhat overlooked, the race in Montana doesn’t appear quite as close as the races in Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, Florida, and Indiana. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2RBuveZ via Latest News

U.S. top court rejects Trump administration bid to halt climate trial

Image
The loss for the administration means it now faces a high-profile examination of U.S. climate change policy during the trial that was due to begin on Oct. 29 in Eugene, Oregon but has since been postponed by the judge. Chief Justice John Roberts on Oct. 19 had temporarily put the case on hold while the court as a whole decided how to proceed. The Supreme Court's three-page order noted that the administration may still have grounds to take its arguments to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2zpiD8e via Latest News

Iran's Khamenei says the world opposes Trump's decisions: TV

Image
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also said Iran's arch-adversary the United States had failed to reassert its domination over Iran since the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed Shah. "The world opposes every decision made by Trump," Iranian state television quoted Khamenei, a Shi'ite cleric with ultimate authority in Iran, as saying during a meeting with thousands of students. America has been defeated by the Islamic Republic over the past 40 years." Washington will on Monday reintroduce far-reaching sanctions on Iran's vital oil sales and banking sectors to try to force the Islamic Republic into negotiations to scrap its nuclear energy and ballistic missile programs and end its support for proxies in conflicts across the Middle East. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2QcQF6J via Latest News

Cruz Leads GOP Hawks in Calling for Harsher Sanctions Against Iran

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is leading a contingent of hawkish Republican senators in a campaign to drive President Trump toward a more aggressive approach to U.S.-Iran relations. The Republican hawks plan to introduce legislation this month that would ramp up Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran by implementing further economic sanctions, Politico reported Friday. The State Department is holding a call Friday morning to announce the latest round of sanctions, which national security adviser John Bolton believes are insufficient. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Qh0noW via Latest News

Midterms 2018: Five key election races to watch before US voters go to the polls

Image
The recent controversy over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing has only served to widen the gap between red and blue. Many commentators are characterising the vote as a referendum on Donald Trump’s first two years in the Oval Office, but each state has its own often deeply personal concerns to resolve at a local level. While Texas has traditionally been a dependable red state, Democratic senatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke, 46, is hoping to summon a “blue wave” to oust incumbent senator Ted Cruz, 47. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2yOyBt3 via Latest News

Gwyneth Paltrow aims to 'rebrand' menopause

Image
Gwyneth Paltrow has been praised for speaking out about how her body is changing as part of an effort to "rebrand" the social stigma around menopause. Experts said the Oscar-winning actress's decision to talk candidly about entering the perimenopause would help other women. The perimenopause is a transition stage before the menopause that can last several years. "I think when you get into perimenopause, you notice a lot of changes," Paltrow, 46, said. "I can feel the hormonal shifts happening - the sweating, the moods.  "You’re just like all of a sudden furious for no reason." Paltrow wants to "rebrand" the menopause It is usual for the perimenopause, when ovaries start producing less oestrogen, to begin for women in their 40s, and sometimes in their 30s. The stage usually lasts about four years. It can be as little as a few months, or as long as 10 years. Paltrow said it had made her determined to "rebrand" the menopause itsel...
