'My gladiator lay down his shield': Toddler Alfie Evans dies in Britain

Image

Alfie had a rare, degenerative disease and had been in a semi-vegetative state for more than a year. After a series of court cases, doctors at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool removed his life support on Monday, against his parents wishes. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2HDnh5D

Lynching memorial leaves some quietly seething: 'Let sleeping dogs lie'

Image
One mile away, another historical monument tells a very different tale about the American south: the First White House of the Confederacy celebrates the life of “renowned American patriot” Jefferson Davis, who served as the president of the Confederate states, while making virtually no mention of the hundreds of black people he and his family enslaved. The contradictions of Montgomery’s historical narratives were on full display this week as thousands of tourists and progressive activists flocked to the city to mark the opening of the country’s first memorial to lynching victims – while some locals quietly seethed, saying they resented the new museum for dredging up the past and feared it would incite anger and backlash within black communities. “It’s going to cause an uproar and open old wounds,” said Mikki Keenan, a 58-year-old longtime Montgomery resident, who was eating lunch at a southern country-style restaurant a mile from the memorial. from Yahoo News - Latest News & He...

Kim Jong-un: North Korea to allow foreign experts to witness nuclear site closure in May

Image
North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has said that he will dismantle his country’s main nuclear testing site in May, and that South Korean and US experts and journalists will be allowed to view the process. The dictator’s pledge was made to Moon Jae-in, South Korea’s prime minister,  during their historic talks on Friday, according to Mr Moon’s spokesman, Yoon Young-chan. As well as promising to close the Punggye-ri bomb testing site Kim said he would change North Korea’s time zone by half an hour, reverting it to match South Korea’s. Kim and Mr Moon, meeting in a ‘truce village’ between their countries’ borders on Friday, pledged to work towards the “complete denuclearisation” of the Korean peninsular. The meeting, which some analysts have criticised for not producing firm plans for denuclearisation, came ahead of Kim’s scheduled talk with Donald Trump, expected within the next few weeks. According to a team of Chinese geologists the Punggye-ri site may n...

'American Fair' — Pamela Littky documents an enduring tradition

The essence of the American fair has not changed much over the past century. As the social and cultural fabric of the United States has evolved considerably, the fairs continue to draw attendance from wide swaths of the heartland, providing a place for far-flung citizens of a county or state to maintain community and celebrate elements of their culture that recall some of the most nostalgic American ideals. Pamela Littky traveled thousands of miles across the country capturing the sights of these important seasonal markers for so many communities. Idyllic portraits of farmers and rope-and-ride spectators accompany portraits and tableaux that evoke undertones of apprehension and uncertainty. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2HDflRC

'Golden State Killer' suspect appears in court after 40 year manhunt

Image
A former policeman accused of being the “Golden State killer” has made his first court appearance, 30 years after the decade-long series of attacks. Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, appeared before a judge in an orange prison jumpsuit, handcuffed to a wheelchair. He was formally arraigned on two murder charges dating back to 1978, and prosecutors said they expect more charges. DeAngelo is a suspect in 11 other murders and 51 rapes committed across California between 1976 and 1986. The father of three adult daughters was arrested on Tuesday at his home in Citrus Heights, a Sacramento suburb, after a 40-year manhunt. Joseph James DeAngelo, in court on Friday DeAngelo spoke only briefly in court to confirm he had a lawyer. He did not enter a plea, and was denied bail.
