When presidents talk tough Posted: 11 Aug 2017 02:01 PM PDT When US presidents talk tough to foreign leaders, does it work? This question arises, of course, due to President Trump's strong rhetoric this week about North Korea and its developing nuclear program. First Mr. Trump vowed to rain "fire and fury" on North Korea if it threatened the US.

A grass-roots model to counter words that incite Posted: 11 Aug 2017 12:15 PM PDT When President Trump used words of violence – "fire and fury the world has never seen" – to threaten North Korea, many people rushed to calm fears that his nuclear rhetoric might become a nuclear reality. A team of some 2,000 has been trained in mediation to deal with local disputes related to the election.

In 'liberated' Mosul, ISIS still imperils the path to city's revival Posted: 11 Aug 2017 11:57 AM PDT The first sign Ghaith Ali had that Islamic State militants were still active in "liberated" western Mosul was a mysterious square object on the floor of a house he entered to make it ready for returning families. "Our mission was to clear houses before civilians come back, to say 'Your house is good,'" says Ali, a short-haired young man with a thin mustache and slight build, speaking in an Erbil hospital for war victims run by the Italian agency Emergency.

"I need to keep myself fit to continue my business," says Ms. Zakoji, who owns a shop in Iida, located 110 miles west of Tokyo.
