PARIS -- A total of 65 journalists and media workers were killed in 2017, the lowest toll in 14 years, according to figures released on Tuesday by Reporters Without Borders. The non-governmental organization said 60 percent of those killed were murdered. It added that 326 people working in media -- including 202 professional journalists -- are also being detained. According to RSF, 26 people were killed in the course of their work, the collateral victims of a deadly situation such as an air strike, an artillery bombardment, or a suicide bombing. It said the remaining 39 were murdered, and deliberately targeted because their reporting threatened political, economic, or criminal interests. Overall, RSF said the decrease hoka in deaths is due to journalists fleeing countries such as Syria, Yemen and Libya that have become too dangerous. But it also noted a growing awareness of the need to protect journalists. RSF stressed that some countries which are not at war have become as dangerous for reporters as war zones, with 46 percent of deaths occurring in such places in 2017, as against 30 percent the previous year. nike dunk A man holds up a photo of Mexican journalist Miroslava Breach, gunned down in the northern state of Chihuahua on Thursday, during a march in Me adidas samba xico City, Saturday, March 25, 2017.

A simmering transatlantic trade row risked escalating on Tuesday after the U.S. threatened to impose tariff counter-measures of up to $11.2 billion on a host of European products. The threatened U.S. tariffs are in response to subsidies received by aircraft maker Airbus and target a host of European products including helicopters, aircraft parts and cheese.The threat from Washington came amid a frag air max 1 ile truce between the EU and the U.S. after President Donald Trump angered Europe last year by slapping duties on steel and aluminum imports and threatening new ones on cars.For more than 14 years, Washington and Brussels have accused each other of unfairly subsidising Boeing and Airbus, respectively, in a tit-for-tat dispute that long predates Mr. Trump s tenure in the White House.

Senator Lindsey Graham has been one of the most persistent and public critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Congress. On Wednesday, Graham introduced a resolution calling for the Senate to support an International Criminal Court investigation into Putin and his alleged regimes, crimes against humanity and war crimes against the people of Ukraine and others. He told CBS Mornings that Putin needs to be held accountable for the destruction and loss of life happening in Ukraine.

In that time Abiy s standing as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate for ending the war with neighboring Eritrea has been undermined, as those same troops have been accused of committing unspeakable atrocities. Now there are fears that the Tigrayan army he claimed he would defeat could head towards the capital, Addis Ababa. Over the weekend, fighters from the Tigrayan Defence Force seized control of parts of Dessie, a city just less than 250 miles from Addis Ababa, and captured Kombolcha, with its major airport. With control over those two cities, the Tigrayans effectively control access to a major highway leading to the capital.

Berlin mdash; Countries scrambling to replace Russian oil, gas and coal supplies with any available alternative may fuel the world s mutually assured destruction through climate change, the head of the United Nations warned Monday.U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the all-of-the-above strategy now being pursued by major economies to end fossil fuel imports from Russia because of its invasion of Ukraine could kill hopes of keeping global warming below dangerous levels. Countries could become so consumed by the immediate fossil fuel supply gap that they neglect or knee-cap policies to cut fossil fuel use, he said by video at an event organized by the Economist weekly. This is madness. Addiction to fossil fue adidas samba ls is mutually assured destruction. Germany, one of Russia s biggest energy customers, wants to increase its supply adidas originals hombre of oil from the Gulf and speed up the building of terminals to receive liquefied natural gas.

WASHINGTON -- A U.N. panel approved on Monday a temporary ban on cargo shipments of rechargeable lithium batteries on passenger planes because they can creat adidas samba og e intense fires capable of de adidas campus 80s stroying an aircraft.The decision by the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization s top-level governing council isn t binding, but most countries follow the agency s standards. The ban is effective on April 1. This interim prohibition will continue to be in force as separate work continues through ICAO on a new lithium battery packaging performance standard, currently expected by 2018, said Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, the ICAO council s president.Namrata Kolachalam, a Tran air max 1 sportation Department spokeswoman, called the ban a necessary action to protect passengers, crews, and aircraft from the current risk to aviation safety. Lithium-ion batteries are used in a vast array of products from cellphones and laptops to some electric cars. About 5.4 billion lithium-ion cells were manufactured worldwide in 2014. A battery is made up of two or more cells. A majority of batteries are transported on cargo ships, but about 30 percent are shipped by air. Airlines flying to and from the U.S. that accept lithium battery shipments carry 26 million passengers a year, the Federal Aviation Administration estimates.Aviation authorities have long known that the batteries can self-ignite, creating fires that are hotter than 1,100 degrees. That s near the melting point of aluminum, which is used in Rrna France s Le Clezio Wins Nobel Lit Prize

The guerrilla attacks have increased in intensity and sophistication since then.Thirty-nine U.S. troops have been killed by mines, ambushes and other hit-and-run attacks since President Bush declared major combat to be over on May 1.The Pentagon and the Bush administration believe the guerillas to be composed chiefly of die-hard followers of Saddam Hussein and Islamic fundamentalists who have ente stanley canada red Iraq from other countries.Pentagon officials interviewed by the Los Angeles Times said the rebels are drawn mainly from the so-called Sunni triangle stanley cup of central Iraq and probably number several thousand.
