5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Democrats fear their Senate takeover chances dimming WASHINGTON — Democrats are sound- ing increasingly concerned about their chances of retaking control of the Senate, as Republicans demonstrate a commanding fundraising advantage and Hillary Clinton’s lead narrows in key battleground races. Although most Democrats still express conidence that they will win back the Sen- ate majority in November, they now appear to have fewer paths to victory as wins in Ohio and even Florida look increasingly remote. And if they do win back control, it could end up being with the narrowest of margins, even a 50-50 Senate with a Vice President Tim Kaine casting tie-breaking votes for the Dem- ocrats, if Hillary Clinton becomes president. A key factor is the Republican money edge, which is particularly pronounced this year because some major donors, most nota- bly the billionaire Koch Brothers, have decided to stay out of the presidential race out of distaste for Donald Trump and are pouring money into Senate races instead. Ohio, Flor- ida, Nevada and other races are awash with cash. “It’s worrisome,” the No. 2 Senate Demo- crat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said Tuesday of the GOP money advantage. Overall, Durbin offered “mixed reviews” of the Senate map: “Solid, quality candidates, good campaigns but a massive infusion of Republican money in the last few weeks, and we are working overtime to try to keep up with it.” Rohingya Muslims remain displaced by sectar- ian violence and denied citizenship. and even squeezed his hand when he asked him to. Sanctions relief on agenda as Myanmar’s Suu Kyi meets Obama Israel’s Peres in serious but stable condition after stroke Poll: Americans favor slightly higher bills to ight warming WASHINGTON — Aung San Suu Kyi’s lat- est visit to Washington signals her transforma- tion from long-imprisoned heroine of Myan- mar’s democracy struggle to a national leader focused on economic growth. President Barack Obama will meet with Suu Kyi at the White House on Wednesday to dis- cuss rolling back more of the sanctions that were applied when the nation was under military rule. Suu Kyi will also be courting the American business community at a dinner where tables go for as much as $25,000. Suu Kyi’s party swept historic elections last November, and the visit by the 71-year old Nobel peace laureate, deeply respected in Wash- ington, is a crowning occasion in the adminis- tration’s support for Myanmar’s shift from pariah state to democracy, which it views as a major foreign policy achievement. The U.S. has eased economic sanctions on the country also known as Burma since polit- ical reforms began ive years ago but it still restricts dealings with military-owned compa- nies and dozens of oficials and associates of the former ruling junta. U.S. companies and banks remain leery of involvement in one of Asia’s last untapped markets. Human rights groups, however, say there are powerful reasons for retaining sanctions. Mili- tary abuses continue in ethnic minority regions. JERUSALEM — Former Israeli President Shimon Peres was in “serious but stable” condi- tion after suffering a major stroke, doctors treat- ing him said Wednesday, as the nation rallied in prayer and support for the 93-year-old elder statesman and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Dr. Yitzhak Kreiss, director of the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, said Peres was in a medically induced coma to allow him to rest after experiencing signiicant bleeding in the brain. Peres was rushed to hospital Tuesday after feeling ill and following a battery of tests was diagnosed to have suffered a stroke. Kreiss said Peres was being transferred to the neurosurgical intensive care unit where he would continue to be evaluated. Israeli media reported that Peres was “ight- ing for his life,” but Rai Walden, Peres’ son-in- law and personal physician, said there appeared to be no imminent threat to his life anymore. The question was what kind of damage was sustained and what kind of recovery he could make, Walden said. In a phone brieing with reporters, Walden said Peres suffered a stroke in the right side of the brain and was being ventilated and sedated. However, he gave an optimistic forecast, say- ing all Peres’ physical parameters were sta- ble and his blood tests were good. Peres was responsive when addressed, Walden added, WASHINGTON — Most Americans are willing to pay a little more each month to ight global warming — but only a tiny bit, accord- ing to a new poll. Still, environmental policy experts hail that as a hopeful sign. Seventy-one percent want the federal gov- ernment to do something about global warm- ing, including 6 percent who think the govern- ment should act even though they are not sure that climate change is happening, according to a poll conducted by The Associated Press- NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago. And those polled said they’d be willing to foot a little of that cost in higher electric bills. If the cost of ighting climate change is only an additional $1 a month, 57 percent of Amer- icans said they would support that. But as that fee goes up, support for it plummets. At $10 a month, 39 percent were in favor and 61 percent opposed. At $20 a month, the public is more than 2-to-1 against it. And only 1-in-5 would support $50 a month. “I feel we need to make small sacriices — and money is a small sacriice — to make life better for future generations, “ said Sarah Grif- in, a 63-year-old retired teacher in central Penn- sylvania. “Surely I have enough money to spend on something that’s worthwhile.” How to identify a possible gas leak.
