5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 2016 WORLD IN BRIEF speech broadcast on national television. Japan’s post-World War II constitution restricts what the emperor can say as a symbolic monarch with no political power. As expected, Akihito avoided explicit mention of abdication, which could have violated those restrictions. Responding to his message, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he takes seriously what Akihito said. “I think we have to thor- oughly think what we can do to accommodate his concerns, taking into consideration the emperor’s age and the current burden of oficial duties,” Abe said. Associated Press Bombing at Pakistan hospital kills at least 67 QUETTA, Pakistan — A suicide bomber killed at least 67 people and wounded doz- ens more in an attack that struck a government-run hos- pital in the southwestern city of Quetta on Monday, police and doctors said. Witnesses described hor- rifying scenes of bodies being scattered about and the wounded screaming out and crying for help. No group immediately claimed responsi- bility for the blast. The explosion took place shortly after the body of a prominent lawyer, who was gunned down in an attack ear- lier in the day, was brought to the hospital, said senior police oficial Zahoor Ahmed Afridi. It was unclear if the two events were in any way con- nected. Nearly 100 lawyers and others had gathered at the hospital at the time to express grief over the death of their colleague, Afridi added. Police and Pakistani ofi- cials said the attack appeared to have been a suicide bomb- ing but there was no immedi- ate conirmation of that detail. Trump seeks to reverse slide with economic plan MANCHESTER, N.H. — Donald Trump is focus- ing his economic message on boosting jobs and making the country more competitive on a global stage by cutting busi- ness taxes, reducing regula- tions and increasing domestic energy production. With a speech Monday to the prestigious Detroit Eco- nomic Club, the Republi- can presidential nominee seeks to reset his campaign and delve into a subject — the economy — that is seen as one of his strengths. It also is aimed at showing that Trump is a serious candidate in spite of a disastrous stretch that prompted criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike. Controversy over Trump’s repeated criticism of a Mus- lim-American family whose son, an Army captain, was killed in the Iraq War took attention away from his nom- inating speech at the Republi- can National Convention. His AP Photo/Arshad Butt People comfort a man mourning the death of a family member who was killed in suicide bombing, at a funeral in Quetta, Pakistan, Monday. A suicide bomber killed dozens of people and wounded many others in an attack that struck a gathering of Pakistani law- yers on the grounds of a government-run hospital in the southwestern city of Quetta on Monday, police and doctors said. refusal for days to endorse the House Speaker Paul Ryan in Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary — he announced his back- ing of Ryan last Friday — was another damaging distraction. While polls have shown that voters have deep concerns about Trump’s temperament and itness for ofice, recent polling puts him ahead of or on par with his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, on whom peo- ple trust more on the economy. She is set to deliver her own economic speech in Detroit on Thursday, one her aides say will lay out her plan for “the biggest investment in good-paying jobs since World War II.” When he speaks Monday in the city that has become a sym- bol of the U.S. manufactur- ing plight, Trump is expected to reiterate his plan for reduc- ing the corporate tax rate to 15 percent from the current 35 percent — in an effort to draw new investment — as well as eliminating the estate tax and calling for a temporary mora- torium on new regulations. Young Americans worry over extremist threat BATON ROUGE, La. — The threat of violence by peo- ple inspired by foreign extrem- ists invokes fear in a majority of young Americans across racial groups. But for young people of color, particularly African-Americans, that fear is matched or surpassed by wor- ries about violence from white extremists. A new GenForward poll of Americans age 18-30 shows widespread anxiety among young people about attacks from both inside and outside the United States. Sixty-two percent of young African-Americans and 55 percent of Hispanics surveyed said they were very concerned about the threat of violence committed by white extrem- ists, compared to one-third of whites and 41 percent of Asian-Americans. GenForward is a survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Cen- ter for Public Affairs Research. The poll is designed to pay special attention to the voices of young adults of color, high- lighting how race and ethnic- ity shape the opinions of a new generation. Gregg Higgins, 27, was one of the whites who said he was very worried about violence by extremists in his own race. In fact, he said he was more con- cerned about “the homegrown white extremists” than the threat of violence from peo- ple outside the United States or people inspired by foreign extremists. Delta grounds flights due to systems problems LONDON — Delta Air- lines has grounded lights scheduled to leave Monday after experiencing unspeciied systems issues. Conirmation of Monday’s troubles came in an oficial account that responds to cus- tomers via Twitter. The air- line declined to immediately comment by phone and it was unclear whether all its lights were affected. “Delta has experienced a computer outage that has affected lights scheduled for this morning,” the company tweeted to customers affected by delays. “Flights await- ing departure are currently delayed. Flights enroute are operating normally. We appre- ciate your patience.” The company said its IT systems were down every- where and “hopefully it won’t be much longer.” Several applications were affected, including the compa- ny’s website. Japan’s emperor worried about fulfilling duties 39 killed by mudslides in Mexico MEXICO CITY — Moun- tain communities in two Mex- ican states are recovering from weekend mudslides that killed 39 people during heavy rains brought by remnants of Hurri- cane Earl. On the other side of Mex- ico, authorities prepared as newly formed Tropical Storm Javier churned over the Paciic toward the resort-dotted south- ern end of the Baja Califor- nia Peninsula. Forecasters said it would close in on that area early Tuesday as a hurricane. At least 28 people died in multiple mudslides in the mountainous north of Puebla state, National Civil Protec- tion Coordinator Luis Felipe Puente said Sunday in an inter- view with ForoTV. He said 25 were killed in different parts of the township of Huauchinango and three died in Tlaola. “It is a tragedy what has happened to our people in Huauchinango,” Gabriel Alvarado, mayor of the town- TOKYO — Japan’s emperor expressed concern about fulilling his duties as he ages in an address to the public Monday that was remarkable for its rarity and its hinted possibility that he may want to abdicate in a few years. “When I consider my age of over 80, as well as my grad- ually deteriorating physical condition despite being luck- ily healthy at this moment, I am concerned about being able to fulill by duties as a sym- bol with the utmost efforts, as I have done so far,” Akihito said in a 10-minute recorded A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM For Phelps, six gold medals seem in reach RIO DE JANEIRO — When Michael Phelps arrived in Rio as a 31-year-old swim- mer who retired once and endured plenty of turmoil away from the pool, everyone wondered just how many gold medals was a realistic goal. How does six sound? In his irst appearance of these Summer Games, Phelps showed he is still capable of the kind of jaw-dropping, did- he-really-just-do-that? perfor- mances that already made him the most decorated Olympic athlete of them all. Going second in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, Phelps produced the fastest split of his career and put the Americans out front for good against a powerhouse ield that included defending champion France, Australia and Russia. It was a down-and-back swim that showed Phelps, as usual, is in peak form on the biggest stage and perfectly capable of winning every race he enters at his ifth Olympics.
