At least 19 dead as Typhoon Damrey batters Vietnam Posted: 04 Nov 2017 08:44 PM PDT At least 19 people have died and a dozen are missing after Typhoon Damrey barrelled into Vietnam, authorities said Sunday, just days before the country welcomes world leaders to the APEC summit. The storm made landfall on Saturday and is the worst to hit the southern coastal region – an area normally spared typhoons which are usually hit further north – in decades. Heavy rains inundated communities with floods as 130 km/h (80 mph) winds blew off roofs and knocked down electricity poles, according to Vietnam's search and rescue office. Coastal Khanh Hoa province, home to the popular white sand Nha Trang beach, was hardest hit with 14 dead and 10 injured, the government said. Fallen trees obstruct a street during a storm in Nha Trang, as Typhoon Damrey descends on southern Vietnam Credit: Social Media/Reuters More than 30,000 people, including foreign tourists, were evacuated from the area ahead of the storm. A dozen flights were also cancelled while railway services were suspended, while local authorities in Phu Yen province said Tuy Hoa city "has never suffered such devastation". There were also reports of minor damage around 500 kilometres north in Danang, the coastal city where Vietnam will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit next week. The week-long gathering, which kicks off Monday, will bring together leaders including US President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping. Vietnam has been pummelled by a dozen major storms since the start of 2017, with at least 240 people reported dead or missing in floods and landslides. In September some 80 were killed after Typhoon Doksuri battered central provinces with rain, destroying thousands of homes and triggering severe floods. The World Bank said natural disasters have killed more than 13,000 people and caused more than $6.4 billion in property damage to Vietnam over the past two decades. |
What Is The Massive Document Leak Known As The Paradise Papers? Posted: 05 Nov 2017 01:51 PM PST The Paradise Papers closely resemble a document leak from last year known as the Panama Papers, which also detailed the offshore holdings and tax avoidance schemes of some of the world's most powerful people. The Panama Papers caused a significant international fallout when they were released in April 2016, even leading to the resignation of Iceland's prime minister amid protests and the surrounding controversy. The effects of this new Paradise Papers leak remain to be seen, but it has already put increased scrutiny on high-profile figures including U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Queen Elizabeth II. |

House weighing 'host of ideas' in tax bill revision, Ryan says Posted: 05 Nov 2017 05:12 PM PST By Amanda Becker WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Sunday that Republican lawmakers are weighing a "host of ideas" as the House tax-writing committee begins revising a tax bill this week, though he expects the broad outlines to remain the same. Ryan, a Republican, told Fox News Sunday that House tax writers are considering President Donald Trump's call to include in the tax package a repeal of an Affordable Care Act provision that mandates individuals buy insurance coverage. The tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee will on Monday begin considering revisions to the tax bill released last week, which would constitute the biggest overhaul of the U.S. tax system since the 1980s. |

Ex-Democratic leader who mulled dropping Clinton spurns critics Posted: 05 Nov 2017 08:53 AM PST The former head of the U.S. Democratic National Committee on Sunday defended her assertion that she had seriously considered proposing to replace Hillary Clinton as the party's 2016 presidential nominee, and said her critics could "go to hell." Donna Brazile has written in a soon-to-be-published book that she thought about working to replace Clinton with then-Vice President Joe Biden after the nominee almost collapsed at an event on Sept. 11, 2016. In an interview on Sunday with ABC's "This Week," Brazile said she had supported Clinton but felt under pressure to come up with a "Plan B" after the candidate collapsed and many people were calling the DNC to ask about the incident. About 100 former Clinton campaign staffers have signed an open letter saying they were shocked to learn in Brazile's upcoming book that she considered trying to replace both Clinton and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine. |

Trump says he's 'open' to meeting with N. Korean leader Posted: 05 Nov 2017 03:05 PM PST US President Donald Trump would "certainly be open" to meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, he said in an interview broadcast Sunday as he began an extended Asian tour. Asked by journalist Sharyl Attkisson, host of the "Full Measure" TV show, whether he would ever consider sitting down with "the dictator," Trump said he was holding meetings with numerous Asian leaders.

For Amazon tribe, rainforest is a whole world Posted: 05 Nov 2017 07:06 PM PST WaiĆ£pi (Brazil) (AFP) - When Japarupi Waiapi looks into the dense foliage of the Amazon rainforest, he sees the equivalent of a supermarket, pharmacy, furniture store -- and that's just the beginning. Just in terms of different wood types, "we see thatch for our roofs, we see bows, we see arrow heads," Japarupi Waiapi, 45, says in the heart of Waiapi tribal land in eastern Brazil. "We don't depend on commerce or money," Japarupi Waiapi says, explaining the tribe's ancient, self-sufficient way of life, living in isolation from Brazil's white settlers. |

Why the Indian Ocean Must Not Become Like the South China Sea Posted: 05 Nov 2017 04:44 PM PST A case in point is China's construction of military facilities on artificial islands proximate to disputed maritime areas, against a backdrop of contesting interpretations of international law. As regional and extra-regional states face a rising China on all fronts, a climate of strategic anxiety prevails in anticipation of its potential impact on the existing rules-based international order. Such anxieties inevitably spill over into the Indian Ocean Region and manifest in ways unique to that part of the world. |
