Pope Benedict XVI on Monday formally rescinded the promotion of an ultraconservative priest who came under fire for suggesting that God punished New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina.The Vatican announcement confirmed a previous decision by the priest, Rev. Gerhard Maria Wagner, to give up the promotion.In January, Benedict promoted the 54-year-old Wagner to the post of auxiliary bishop in Linz, Austria s third largest city.The move sparked an outcry from Austrian Catholics and church groups who argued that the decision could motivate people to leave the Catholic Church.Wagner had questioned whether the noticeable increase of natural di stanley thermos sasters such as Hurricane Katrina - which devastated New Orleans in 2005 - was a resu stanley mugs lt of pollution caused by humans or the result of spiritual pollution.

CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia s most populous state was declared entirely in drought on Wednesday and struggling farmers were given new authority to shoot kangaroos that compete with livestock for sparse pasture during the most intense dry spell in more than 50 years. Much of Australia s southeast is struggling with drought. But the drought conditions in the Australian state of New South Wales this year have been the driest and most widespread since 1965.BBC News reports that New South Wales produces about twenty-five percent of Australia s agricultural output. Primary Industries Minister Niall Blair said farmers were enduring one of the driest Southern Hemisphere winters on record. Farm reservoirs have dried up and crops are failing. There isn t a person in the state that isn t hoping to see some rain for our farmers and regional communities, Blair said in a statement.The federal and state governments have provided A$576m -- $430 million -- in emergency funding, according to the BBC. But it s not enough for many farmers. With dry conditions forecast to continue for the next three months, farmers had to decide whether to continue the expensive and laborious task of hand-feeding cattle and sheep or sell their livestock.

By trying to talk Iran out of its nuclear program, the U.S. is in a better position to organize tougher international sanctions in the event that diplomacy fails, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday. We actually believe that by following the diplomatic path we are on, we gain credibility and influence with a number of nations who would have to participate in order to make the sanctions regime as tight and as crippling as we would want it to be, Clinton told the House Foreign Affairs Committee.Iran denies that its nuclear program is intended to develop weapons.The official Iranian news agency IRNA reported Wednesday that Iran welcomes a constructive dialogue with world powers over its nuclear program, but insisted that it won t halt its uranium enrichment activities.The Iranian report was in response to an inv gourde stanley itation from the United States, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia for a new round of nuclear talks.

WASHINGTON --When U.S. officials entered shuttered Russian compounds in Maryland and New York last December, they found damaged materials that could have been used in intelligence gathering and that former officials say could have been useful in the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.The compounds, which had been used for decades as retreats for Russian diplomats, were shut down by the Obama administration as part of a package of punitive measures in response to Russia s meddling in the election.
