5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 WORLD IN BRIEF Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. No one was injured in the ire, which burned a 10-by-10-foot hole in the roof at the back of the mosque’s main building and blackened its eaves with soot. Associated Press Clinton back on campaign trail after releasing health info WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Hillary Clinton returns to the cam- paign trail Thursday following a bout of pneumonia that side- lined her for three days and revived questions about both the Democratic nominee and Republican Donald Trump’s transpar- ency regarding their health. Clinton’s campaign responded with a new letter from her doctor Wednesday declaring her “it to serve” as president and recovering well from her recent illness. The letter — the irst sub- stantial update on her health in more than a year — details the medications she is taking, her cholesterol levels and other results from a physical exam. Trump says he, too, plans to release details from a recent physical, though it’s unclear when that will happen and how much information he will provide. So far, the businessman has only released a widely mocked letter from his longtime physician declaring he would be the healthiest president in history. In keeping with Trump’s unusual approach to transparency, the Republican handed over a one-page summary of his recent exam to Dr. Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz’s show. A release from the show said “Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump though a full review of his systems,” including his nervous system, cardiovas- cular health, prostate health and family medical history. The show is due to air Thursday. Trump’s campaign has not made a copy of the summary public ahead of the airing, nor is it certain he will do so after. Witness says Philippine president ordered killings MANILA, Philippines — A former Filipino militiaman tes- tiied before the country’s Senate on Thursday that President Rodrigo Duterte, when he was still a city mayor, ordered him and other members of a liquidation squad to kill criminals and oppo- nents in gangland-style assaults that left about 1,000 dead. Edgar Matobato, 57, told the nationally televised Senate com- mittee hearing that he heard Duterte order some of the killings and acknowledged he himself carried out about 50 of the abductions and deadly assaults, including a suspected kidnapper who they fed to a crocodile in 2007 in southern Davao del Sur province. The Senate committee inquiry was being led by Sen. Leila de Lima, a staunch critic of Duterte’s anti-drug campaign that has left more than 3,000 suspected drug users and dealers dead since he assumed the presidency in June. Duterte has accused de Lima of involvement in illegal drugs, alleging that she used to have a driver who took money from detained drug lords. She has denied the allegations. The killings of the suspected drug dealers have sparked con- cerns in the Philippines and among U.N. and U.S. oficials, including President Barack Obama, who have urged Duterte’s government to stop the killings and ensure his anti-drug war complies with human rights laws and the rule of law. Duterte has rejected the criticisms, questioning the right of the U.N., the U.S. and Obama to raise human rights issues, when U.S. forces, for example, had massacred Muslims in the coun- try’s south in the early 1900s as part of a paciication campaign. Safety recommendations unfulilled 7 years after Flight 1549 WASHINGTON — More than seven years after an airline captain saved 155 lives by ditching his crippled airliner in the Hudson River, now the basis of a new movie, most of the safety recommendations stemming from the accident haven’t been car- ried out. Of the 35 recommendations made by the National Transpor- tation Safety Board in response to the incident involving US Air- ways Flight 1549, only six have been successfully completed, according to an Associated Press review of board records. Four- teen of the recommendations issued to the Federal Aviation Administration and its European counterpart, EASA, are marked THE DAILY ASTORIAN T HURSDAY E VENING 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 Obama’s vow to lift economic sanctions welcomed in Myanmar AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews Passengers in an inflatable raft move away from an Airbus 320 US Airways aircraft that had gone down in the Hudson River in New York in 2009. More than seven years after an airline captain saved 155 lives by ditching his crippled air- liner in the Hudson River, now the basis of a new movie, most of the safety recommendations stemming from the accident have yet to be followed. by the NTSB as “closed-unacceptable.” One has been withdrawn, and the rest remain unresolved. The movie “Sully,” which opened in theaters last week, cel- ebrates how veteran pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, played by Tom Hanks, along with his co-pilot, light attendants, air traf- ic controllers, ferry boat operators and irst responders did their jobs with professionalism and competence, averting a potential tragedy. The plane lost thrust in both engines after colliding with a lock of Canada geese shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Air- port in New York. No one died, and only ive people were seri- ously injured. “The FAA was very upset back then that we made any recom- mendations at all,” recalled Tom Haueter, who was the NTSB’s head of major accident investigations at the time. “They thought this was a success story.” But to investigators, the event turned up problems. “This could happen again and we want to make sure that if it does, there are some better safety measures in place,” Haueter said. YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar economists and busi- nessmen on Thursday welcomed President Barack Obama’s announcement that the U.S. will lift economic sanctions and restore long-lost trade beneits to the Southeast Asian country as it emerges from half a century of oppressive military rule. The nation of more than 50 million is rich in natural resources, and before a military coup in the early 1960s it was among the region’s stronger economies. Today it’s among Asia’s least devel- oped and poorest countries, with more than a quarter of the pop- ulation living in poverty. Experts hope the lifting of sanctions helps change that by making it easier for U.S. companies to invest and do business here. “There will be more trading and investment as the result of lifting sanctions on our country. It will really beneit the citizens of this country and be a great hope for Myanmar’s economic development,” said Khin Maung Nyo, a Myanmar economist. The United States irst imposed sanctions on Myanmar in 1997, when the military junta ruled. In 2011, the junta gave way to a quasi-civilian government that was dominated by former military oficials but still ushered in some democratic reforms, leading the U.S. to restore full diplomatic relations and ease sanctions. Myanmar’s new government took power in April after the party led by pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi won a landslide election victory late last year. The military still retains power in the government, in part through a constitution that effectively bars Suu Kyi from the presidency. She is formally state counselor and foreign minister but is universally viewed as the country’s leader. Suspect in mosque ire had made anti-Islamic Facebook posts FORT PIERCE, Fla. — About two months before Joseph Michael Schreiber allegedly tried to burn down a mosque some- times attended by Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, he posted on Facebook that “All Islam is radical” and that all Mus- lims should be treated as terrorists and criminals. Schreiber, 32, was arrested without incident Wednesday afternoon and was being interrogated by investigators looking into the ire set late Sunday at the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, said Maj. David Thompson of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Ofice. A July post placed on Facebook by Schreiber, who is Jew- ish, stated that, “IF AMERICA truly wants peace and safety and pursuit of happiness they should consider all forms of ISLAM as radical. … ALL ISLAM IS RADICAL, and should be con- sidered TERRORIST AND CRIMANALS (sic) and all hoo (sic) participate in such activity should be found guilty of WAR CRIM (sic) until law and order is restored in this beautiful free country.” Thompson told a news conference that Schreiber, who has a criminal record, was taken into custody on a street in Fort Pierce by authorities acting on tips from members of the community and aided by surveillance video taken from the mosque and elsewhere. He said the arson charge, coupled with a hate crime enhancement under Florida law, carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. Thompson said detectives were still questioning Schreiber on Wednesday evening, and he didn’t say if Schreiber had a lawyer. The ire was set late Sunday on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The blaze also coincided with the September 17, 2016 - 9am Elochoman Marina - Cathlamet, WA Arts & crafts, antiques, trinkets and treasures, plus some great food from Hump’s Restaurant & Maria’s Place! River Mile 38 Brewing Company will give a demonstration on wet hops brewing for the occasion!
