CAIRO An Egyptian administrative court on Wednesday ordered the suspension of parliamentary elections scheduled to begin next month, throwing the country s politics deeper into confusion.The verdict followed over a dozen complaints questioning the legality of the law organizing the elections.Abdel-Meguid el-Muqanen, presiding judge of the administrative court, said that the law must be reviewed by the Supreme Constitutional Court to determine its conformity to the constitution. Meanwhile, he ordered the suspension and annulment of the presidential decree calling for elections.Details of the ruling were not immediately available.The government can appeal the administrative court ruling, but at the least the ruling may cause a delay in the vote. The multi-phase election is due to begin in April 22 and last for nearly two months. The period for candidates to apply was to begin on Saturday, but that likely cannot take place until the legalities are worked out, possibly pushing back the whole process. The ruling further snarls Egypt s political crisis over the divisions between Islami stanley termosy st President Mohammed Morsi and the mainly liberal and stanley cups secular opposition. Protests against Morsi and his ruling Musl stanley flask im Brotherhood have shaken the country for months, and the opposition had called for a boycott of the parliamentary vote.

In 2012, cellphone video captured another woman gripping onto the fence as the jet blast swept her headfirst into the wall, seriously injuring her.

Iran has started small-scale enrichment of uranium mdash; a process that can produce fuel for nuclear reactors or bombs, diplomats said Monday. Uranium gas has been fed into three machines, one senior diplomat familiar with Iran s nucl stanley cup ear file told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter.To produce significant amounts of enriched uranium, gas must be fed into hundreds of such machines.

Having spent three years trying to conceive, Rihan was eight months pregnant.She was moved, bleeding, to the biggest hospital in Gaza, Al-Shifa. The medics there were overwhelmed by the number of dead and wounded pouring in as Israel retaliated for the brutal Oct. 7 attack launched by Gaza s Hamas rulers.Amid the relentless bombardment, Rihan was rushed into an operating room and her baby was saved. The boy was put on a ventilator as his lungs had not fully developed. samba og After the surgery, they took my son right away. I didn t see him at all, Rihan told CBS News.

Serbia warned on Tuesday of dangerous metal concentrations in an East European river already contaminated by a cyanide spill. The Agriculture Ministry said laboratory tests showed considerably increased iron and copper levels in the Tisza river, where the cyanide spill has wiped out virtually all life. The cyanide poured into streams from a containment dam at a gold mine near the Romanian town of Baia Mare on Jan. 30. The World Health Organization earlier had expressed concern that heavy metals such as lead and cadmium also might have escaped into the water, p stanley cups osing potentially a far greater health threat. In Belgrade, Predrag Polic, head of the university s Chemistry faculty, said someone may have abused the commotion around the cyanide spill to dump excessive lead quantities into the Tisza. Lead -- among the world s top three pollutants -- degrades very slowly and can contaminate food for years. This odorless metal is highly toxic and attacks the nervous system, Polic said. Australia-based Esmeralda Ltd., co-owner of the Baia Mare gold mine, has denied responsibility for the cyanide spill, saying the extent of poisoning had been exaggerated.

BEIRUT - Syria used gunboats for the first time Sunday to crush the uprising against Bashar Assad s regime, hammering parts of the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia after thousands marched there over the weekend to demand the president s ouster. At least 25 people were killed, according to activists.The coordinated attacks by gunboats and ground troops were the latest wave of a brutal offensive against anti-government protests launched at the beginning of the month. The assault showed Assad has no intention of scaling back the campaign even though it has brought international outrage and new U.S. and European sanctions.

President Trump and Kim Jong Un s summit, which lasted less than five hours, was the first between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader. Mr. Trump said it would lead to many more meetings, and he would absolutely consider inviting Kim to the White House. The two leaders signed a comprehensive document detailing their commitment to establishing relations adidas originals and work samba rose ing toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula but it offers few specifics about how denuclearization would be carried out.Pictures from the hotel on Singapore s Sentosa Island were historic but the commitments somewhat vague, a crucial factor considering North Korea s checkered history of living up to deals with the U.S. Even so, the president said there is a real chance for peace, denuclearization and a new relationship with North Korea. The pres mizuno volleyballschuhe ident said he now trusts Kim Jong Un and knows now he wants to make a deal, meaning more summits could be held in Pyongyang and Washington. Mr. President, this joint statement does not talk about verifiable or irreversible denuclearization.

San Salvadormdash; El Salvador s Congress voted on Wednesday to uphold the country s complete abortion ban, ruling against terminations even in exceptional circumstances. Salvadoran law prohibits the procedure in all cases mdash; punishable by up to eight years in prison. Prosecutors and judges classify some cases of abortion, even involuntary ones, as aggravated homicide, punishable by up to 50 years in prison.

As the war winds down in Iraq, the United States could soon face a tricky question: When can it say we won, or even that the war is over That question has lurked in the background since the war began.

One aim of the campaign mdash; ousting Saddam Hussein and his cohorts f stanley cup rom power mdash; appears nearly accomplished. Gen. Tommy Franks on Friday told his troops that Saddam s regime has ended.But it might take years to see if President Bush s larger goals are fulfilled, like his hopes fo stanley flasche r a free and democratic Iraq, a more stable Middle East and peace between Israel and the Palestinians.The president and his spokespeople have said countless times that the war s outcome is not in doubt in other words, that Iraq would lose mdash; but have been less specific in identifying exactly what that outcome would look like. Asked Wednesday what would have to happen for the president to declare victory, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Mr. Bush has said that this is a military mission, that the military remains in harm s way, and until the military mission is accomplished, I don t think the President is going to be at that point in his own mind.

The testimony of Prof. Gert Saayman, the pathologist who performed the autopsy on Reeva Steenkamp s body, was not broadcast or reported live on Twitter by journalists because of its explicit content under an order from Judge Thokozile Masipa. However, journalists were allowed to report the testimony without directly quoting the witness.

CAIRO - Egypt s ousted President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday turned down a chance to address the court in the last session before the verdict in the seven-month trial in which he faces the death penalty.Mubarak, who ran Egypt for 30 years, is accused of complicity in the killing of protesters during the 18-day popular uprising that pushed him from power in February of last year.The chi stanley termosy ef judge in the case announced that Mubarak s sentencing session is set for June 2.More than 800 people were killed during the uprisings, many of them demonstrators shot dead by security forces.Egyptians have closely followed the case, and many see its slow progress as an indictment of the council of ruling army generals who took power when Mubarak stepped down.Critics of the military s handling of the transition to democracy say the trial s pace reflects a wider lack of justice for those killed in the uprising. Egyptian courts have so far not punished any police officers for the protester deaths. Others have criticized the prosecution s handling of the case, saying it has failed to present strong enough evidence to support a murder charge.The prosecution is asking for the death sentence for Mubarak, usually carried out by ha stanley water jug nging in Egypt. Mubarak s defense team argues that he is still president, and stanley cup thus can only be tried for treason or in a special court.
