VAUGHAN, ONT. — Liberal Leader Mark Carney strolled into an election campaign event on Monday past a ghostly figure.

The Islamic State-fighting female snipers refusing to put down their guns

In the barren deserts in north-eastern Syria, a female Kurdish soldier and three of her comrades found themselves wounded, surrounded, and almost out of bullets.

Rubio dismisses criticism over US response to Myanmar quake

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dismissed accusations that Washington was left unable to help in the Myanmar earthquake due to the Donald Trump administration’s shuttering of its humanitarian aid agency.

Asked by the BBC why the US had not meaningfully responded, as it routinely has to past such disasters, Rubio said “we are not the government of the world”.

… Rubio said the US had to balance global humanitarian rescue work with “other needs” and “other priorities” that were in the US national interests.
