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.

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

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,”

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

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.

a statement issued before the
full death toll had been deter-

rain caused damage affecting
at least 200 people.
In neighboring Veracruz

when mudslides hit the towns
of Coscomatepec, Tequila and
