5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press US puts Iran ‘on notice’ after missile test, won’t elaborate WASHINGTON — The White House has issued a cryptic warning that the U.S. will act against Iran unless it stops test- ing ballistic missiles and supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen, but declined to say what retaliatory actions the U.S. would pursue. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, forcefully denounced Iran’s behavior in his first public remarks since Trump took office. He accused Iran of threatening U.S. allies and spreading instability throughout the Middle East while faulting the Obama administration for doing too little to stop the Islamic Republic. “As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice,” Flynn said from the White House podium. On notice for what, Flynn didn’t say. Senior Trump adminis- tration officials said they were actively considering a “range of options” including economic measures and increased support for Iran’s regional adversaries. The officials, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, declined repeatedly to say whether military action was being considered. Later Wednesday, Trump tweeted: “Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago!” Red, blue states split over Trump’s ‘sanctuary city’ order SALEM, Ore. — President Donald Trump’s promised crack- down on “sanctuary cities” has triggered divergent actions from blue and red states, revealing the deep national divide on immi- gration as some move to follow his order and others break with the U.S. government to protect immigrants in the country illegally. California, the nation’s largest state, is pushing for a statewide sanctuary that would prohibit law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, while a fellow U.S.-Mex- ico border state, Texas, is seeking to withhold funding from cit- ies with the policies. Trump’s recent executive orders threatening to withhold fed- eral funding from communities with sanctuary policies and call- ing for a border wall have produced widespread protests and fears that more immigration restrictions are in the future. The president’s supporters have hailed the efforts. Cities have mostly taken up sanctuary laws. There’s no offi- cial definition, but often they tell police not to inquire about the immigration status of those they arrest or they decline requests from immigration officials to keep defendants in custody while they await deportation. But liberal states like California would not be the first to block police from enforcing federal immigration law. Oregon pio- neered statewide sanctuary in a 1987 law, when immigrant work- ers and their families were sometimes housed in appalling condi- tions despite their importance to agricultural profits. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said she will enforce that law. “They mow our lawns. They pick our grapes,” Brown said last week. “They take care of our children and they take care of our seniors, and I want to make sure they feel welcome in Oregon.” Report: Oregon lagging behind on climate goals PORTLAND — A new report has found that Oregon is not reducing greenhouse gas emissions fast enough to meet its goals. The Oregonian reports that the Oregon Global Warming Com- mission will deliver findings to state lawmakers this week show- ing that the state is not even close to being on track to meet is 2020 goals. The state is lagging behind despite ambitious legislation that targeted emissions from the electricity and transportation sectors. The report blamed, in part, higher emissions from vehicles. It said population growth, a strong economy and cheap gas have resulted in more people driving more miles and buying less fuel-efficient cars. AP Photo/Don Ryan Oregon Gov. Kate Brown speaks to media representatives in Salem in January. President Donald Trump’s promised crackdown on “sanctuary cities” has triggered divergent actions from blue and red states: Some are moving to fol- low his order and others are breaking with the U.S. gov- ernment to protect immigrants in the country illegally. Or- egon pioneered statewide sanctuary in a 1987 law. Brown said she will enforce that law, saying, “They take care of our children and they take care of our seniors, and I want to make sure they feel welcome in Oregon.” It’s not clear whether state lawmakers will do anything to further curb emissions. The report comes as President Donald Trump’s administration is moving to undo federal climate change policies. Large numbers of salmon return to Deschutes River BEND — Deschutes River saw a large number of native sock- eye salmon return to its waters in 2016. A total of 536 sockeye salmon returned to a complex of hydroelectric dams and reservoirs called the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project, reported The Bulletin. That’s a significant improvement over recent years — since 2010, annual returns have ranged between 19 and 86 fish. “We are not pointing to this and saying mission accomplished, but at the same time it’s a really great result for 2016,” said Ste- ven Corson, a spokesman for complex co-owner Portland Gen- eral Electric. “Our goal is to have sustained and harvestable fish runs, but we are still in the beginning stages.” The dam complex is owned by PGE and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. It stretches over about 20 miles of the Deschutes River west of Madras. The complex was originally designed in the 1950s and 60s to include fish passages, but the passages were not effective. Round Butte Dam owners are now trying to reintroduce spring chinook and steelhead in addition to sockeye salmon. Corson said salmon returns are often unpredictable and the reintroduction efforts are still in the early stages. More than 93 percent of the sockeye originated in the Middle Deschutes basin, according to genetic testing received by Port- land General Electric in January. Most of those came from a lake created by the Round Butte Dam called Lake Billy Chinook. While waiting for new data, scientists continue to monitor water quality and work on habitat-improving projects in the area. “It’s an ongoing, scientific-based effort to maximize the potential for a successful year,” Corson said. Trump vows to repeal political limits on churches WASHINGTON — Warning that religious freedom is “under threat,” President Donald Trump vowed today to repeal the John- son Amendment, an IRS rule barring pastors from endorsing can- didates from the pulpit.” “I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without T HURSDAY E VENING (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) 6 PM 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) Elise assisted living community the ALEPPO, Syria — Aleppo has been scarred beyond recogni- tion: Weeks after fighting stopped, a pall of dust covers its east- ern districts, where streets are lined for blocks with buildings smashed to metal and brick rubble in scenes reminiscent of cities devastated in World War II. The destruction is the worst wreaked on any city in Syria’s six-year war. No one has any quick answers on how to rebuild Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, much less the rest of a country that has seen appalling desolation. Costs for reconstruction in Aleppo, once Syria’s economic hub, could run in the tens of billions of dollars, far beyond the country’s capabilities. Western nations are unlikely to give funds to the government of President Bashar Assad, which remains under U.S., European, and Arab sanctions that bar aid. Even Assad’s allies, Russia and Iran, which are bankrolling his rule, show little enthusiasm to shoulder rebuilding costs. And there is the question of how to discuss reconstruction while the war still rages. Much depends on the shape of any eventual political settlement ending the war. Rebuilding with- out a deal may only entrench demographic changes caused by the war — which have run along sectarian lines. The fear among some is that Assad’s government will rebuild opposition areas like east Aleppo for its supporters and do little to draw back mil- lions of refugees, most from parts of the country that joined the rebellion. Still, the European Union, where nearly 1 million Syrians are seeking asylum, says planning must start now. It wants to host a conference in the spring on the future of Syria with a focus on reconstruction. U.N. officials are scrambling to form a vision for a future Syria and find ways to tackle financing. Police use backhoe to breach prison, end standoff; one dead SMYRNA, Del. — Police used a backhoe to breach a building at Delaware’s largest prison early today, ending what the governor called a “torturous” hostage standoff that left one guard dead. Inmates used “sharp instruments” to assume control of the building at the James T. Vaughn Correction Center on Wednes- day, taking three prison guards and a woman counselor hostage. The inmates told a local newspaper that concerns about their treatment and the leadership of the United States had prompted their actions. Authorities did not say how Sgt. Steven Floyd died. He was a 16-year veteran with the prisons agency. During the standoff, inmates negotiated to have the water turned on, which authorities said the prisoners used to fill up small foot lockers to build a wall at the prison entryways.

Trump also defended his recent executive order on immigra- tion, decrying “generous” immigration policies and arguing that there were people who sought to enter the country “for the pur- pose of spreading violence or oppressing other people based upon their faith.” He also pledged to take more immigration action in the name of religious liberty. “In the coming days we will develop a system to help ensure that those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty and that they reject any form of oppression and discrimination,” Trump said. Trump did not detail how he will scrap the IRS rule, which he has previously pledged to do away with. The rule has been in place since 1954, but it is very rare for a church to actually be penalized. And while some conservative Christians would like to see it abolished, others, especially the younger generation, sup- port a separation of church and politics. The repeal does not appear to have widespread public sup- port. Eight in 10 Americans said it was inappropriate for pastors to endorse a candidate in church in a poll released last September by Lifeway Research, a religious survey firm based in Nashville. a v a m e r e f a m i l y of c o m p a n i e s 503-738-0307 101 Forest Dr. Seaside, OR 97138 ASSSISTED LIVING F E B R UA RY M OV E - I N S P E C I A L Assisted Living seaside A sweet deal!
