5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2016 WORLD IN BRIEF Angelo Carconi/ANSA Firefighters search through debris in Arquata, central Italy today where a 6.1 earthquake struck Wednesday morning. Rescue crews raced against time looking for survivors from the earthquake that leveled three towns in central It- aly, but the death toll rose to more than 240 and Italy once again anguished over how to secure its towns and cities, new and old, built on seismic lands. Associated Press Aftershocks rattle Italian quake zone; death toll rises to 250 PESCARA DEL TRONO, Italy — Aftershocks in central Italy rattled residents and rescue workers alike Thursday, as crews worked to ind more earthquake survivors and the country anguished over its repeated failure to protect ancient towns and modern cities from seismic catastrophes. A day after a shallow quake killed 250 people and leveled three small towns, a 4.3 magnitude aftershock sent up plumes of thick gray dust in the hard-hit town of Amatrice. The after- shock crumbled already cracked buildings, prompted authorities to close roads and sent another person to the hospital. It was only one of the more than 470 temblors that have fol- lowed Wednesday’s pre-dawn quake. Fireighters and rescue crews using sniffer dogs worked in teams around the hard-hit areas in central Italy, pulling chunks of cement, rock and metal from mounds of rubble where homes once stood. Rescuers refused to say when their work would shift from saving lives to recovering bodies, noting that one person was pulled alive from the rubble 72 hours after the 2009 quake in the Italian town of L’Aquila. Worst affected by the quake were the tiny towns of Amatrice and Accumoli near Rieti, 60 miles northeast of Rome, and Pes- cara del Tronto, 15 miles farther to the east. Welcome to the Trump-Clinton conspiracy campaign election LOS ANGELES — It’s a conspiracy: The 2016 campaign fea- tures one candidate who warned against the “vast right-wing con- spiracy” and another who was a leader of the so-called “birther” movement. Donald Trump and his surrogates hint at a mysterious “illness” aflicting rival Hillary Clinton. Pushing back, Clinton warns of murky ties between Trump and the Russian government, insinu- ating that her Republican opponent may be a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rumors and innuendo long conined to the far reaches of the Internet are dominating the presidential race, forcing Clinton to grapple — once again — with the kinds of whispers that have dogged her family for decades. Clinton has largely avoided discussing the conspiracies, leav- ing it to members of her campaign team or allies. But she is pre- paring a Reno, Nevada, address on Thursday that will accuse Trump of supporting an “alt-right” campaign that presents “a divisive and dystopian view of America.” “I do feel sometimes like this campaign has entered into an alternative universe,” Clinton said in an appearance Monday night on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Judge: Ryan Bundy unit to serve as his own lawyer Advocates say they’ll sue to protect hundreds of species PORTLAND — Federal Judge Anna J. Brown is set to strip Oregon standoff defendant Ryan Bundy of his ability to repre- sent himself in court. The Oregonian reports the judge wrote in a ive-page order iled Wednesday that Bundy has been unwilling to follow her orders and has shown an “open deiance” of the court’s authority. Brown gave Bundy until Monday to “show cause” why she shouldn’t reinstate an attorney to represent him. She wrote that by repeatedly raising “frivolous issues and matters” that the court has previously ruled on or resolved, Bundy has engaged in “serious and obstructionist misconduct,” “abused the dignity of the courtroom” and used his pro se status as a “license not to comply with Ryan relevant rules of procedural and substan- Bundy tive law.” Bundy is one of eight defendants set to go to trial Sept. 7, charged with conspiring to impede federal employees at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge earlier this year. Eleven other defendants have pleaded guilty to the charge. Seven oth- ers have a trial scheduled in February.. BILLINGS, Mont. — A wildlife advocacy group has iled notice that it intends to sue the U.S. government for failing to act on petitions to protect more than 400 plants and animals under the Endangered Species Act. The Center for Biological Diversity accuses the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of leaving hundreds of species in limbo. It says the Florida sandhill crane, white tailed ptarmigan and eastern diamondback rattlesnake are among those species await- ing a government decision. The advocacy group in 2011 reached a settlement that required the government to make initial indings on protections for more than 700 species. Final decisions on most of those plants and ani- mals still are pending, despite indings by federal oficials that protections were warranted. Bend wildlife rehab center closes, vet gives up permit BEND — A wildlife rehabilitation center in central Oregon has closed after its resident veterinarian gave up his permit. The Bend Bulletin reports that High Desert Wildlife cen- ter shut down and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife took most of the animals that were receiving care there. Center co-founder Dr. Jeff Cooney gave up his wildlife reha- bilitation permit associated with the center earlier in August. Department spokeswoman Michelle Dennehy says oficials dealt with the animals last week. She says some were released into the wild, some were transferred to nearby wildlife centers and some were euthanized. She says she’ll likely have more information once a report on the center is inished. Former volunteer Amy Vukovic says the center was unclean, didn’t provide enough training for volunteers and kept birds in too-small spaces. Remains of Civil War soldier make it back to Maine for burial CHELSEA, Maine — The remains of a Civil War soldier from Maine are back in the state after a long journey across the country. The Patriot Guard Riders motorcycle group has been escort- ing the remains of Hodgdon native Pvt. Jewett Williams to Maine for the past three weeks. He died in Oregon in 1922 and his ashes were stored and for- gotten along with thousands of others until they were discov- ered there a few years ago. WCSH-TV reports Williams’ remains made it to Kittery on Sunday and to Togus National Cemetery in Chelsea on Monday. The station reports that the plan was originally for Williams’ remains to be buried at the cemetery next month. However, rel- atives have come forward and say they will claim the ashes. Williams will instead be buried in Hodgdon.

The pullback was a major demand by Ankara after Turkey sent in tanks and special forces backed by U.S. airstrikes across the border to help Syrian rebels take a key Islamic State strong- hold the previous day. Turkey’s incursion into northern Syria was also meant to con- tain an expansion by Syria’s Kurds amid the neighboring coun- try’s civil war, now in its sixth year. According to Turkish ministry oficials, Kerry and Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke by telephone on Thursday to discuss the Turk- ish military operation to retake the IS-held border town of Jarab- lus in northern Syria. Kerry stressed that the Syrian Kurdish forces “were in the pro- cess of retreating east of the Euphrates,” the oficials said in ref- erence to the Syrian Kurdish forces.

Images of uniformed police appearing to require a woman to take off her tunic, and media accounts of similar incidents, have elicited shock and anger online this week. Several towns in strictly secular France have banned burkinis this summer, but some fear they are worsening religious tensions. Prime Minister Manuel Valls told BFM television that burki- nis represent “the enslavement of women,” but said enforcement of the bans must be handled respectfully. Rights groups argue the bans are discriminatory and have appealed to the Council of State, which holds a hearing Thursday. A decision on whether to overturn the bans is expected within 48 hours.
