Image
Ethiopia's influential Orthodox church on Sunday criticised Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's response to ethnic and religious clashes that left nearly 70 dead, saying he was failing to protect its members. Violence erupted in the capital Addis Ababa and the outlying Oromia region on Wednesday after a prominent activist accused security forces of trying to orchestrate an attack against him -- a claim police officials denied. It quickly morphed into clashes and a police official said Friday that 67 people had died in Oromia. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2pVtKVz via Latest News

Photograph: Elise Amendola/APIn the conventional view of American politics, Joe Biden is a moderate while Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are on the left and Donald Trump is on the right.This conventional view is rubbish. Today’s great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.There are no longer “moderates”. There’s no longer a “center”. The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged system.Four decades ago, when America had a large and growing middle class, the left wanted stronger social safety nets and more public investment in schools, roads and research. The right sought greater reliance on the free market.In those days, a general election was like a competition between two hotdog vendors on a long boardwalk extending from left to right. To maxi...

UPDATE 1-Northern California wildfire evacuation orders rise to 180,000

The southward march of a Northern California wildfire toward the more populated areas above the San Francisco Bay led officials on Sunday to raise the number of residents ordered to leave their homes in the area to 180,000. The increase, from 130,000 earlier on Sunday, came as wind gusts pushed the Kincade Fire down from the rolling hills and wine regions of northern Sonoma County and threatened communities as far south as northern Santa Rosa, officials said. Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick, defending the evacuation orders which he said had been criticized by some as overly cautious, increased the police presence in evacuation zones. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2MQJeDf via Latest News

After nearly a month of efforts, Netanyahu last week said he had failed to cobble together a coalition. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2qQeiuj via Latest News
