5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Trump to make first visit to MacDill Air Force Base PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump is making his first visit to the headquarters for U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command. Both military commands are headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. Trump, who is also commander in chief of the U.S. military, was heading to the base today on the way back to Washington after his first weekend away from the White House. Trump spent the weekend at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, with first lady Melania Trump, who had not appeared in public since shortly after her husband took office. At MacDill, the president is to be briefed by CENTCOM and SOCOM leaders, join troops for lunch and deliver a speech. Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Michael Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser, were expected to attend the meetings. Trump also planned to meet with Florida Gov. Rick Scott before the flight to Washington. Budweiser via AP Republicans seek distance from Trump’s comments on Putin, US WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump has long expressed a desire for improved relations with Moscow, but his latest comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin and the U.S. are leading some fellow Republicans to take a step back from the president — on this issue at least. Told by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly during an interview that the Russian leader is “a killer,” Trump said the U.S. has killers, too. “What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?” Trump said during the taped interview broadcast during Sunday’s Super Bowl pregame show. Trump has praised Putin and signaled that U.S.-Russia rela- tions could be in for a makeover under his leadership, even after U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign to help Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton. During Putin’s years in power, a number of prominent Rus- sian opposition figures and journalists have been killed. Army Corps of Engineers weighs privatizing Oregon hatcheries MEDFORD — A change in how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers interprets its acquisition regulations could mean oper- ations at the Cole Rivers Hatchery on the Rouge River and six other Oregon hatcheries could be privatized. The Mail Tribune reports that the agency is considering con- tracting the Cole Rivers hatchery out to the lowest bidder on a one-year contract as early as this spring. The other hatcheries likely to face contract bids down the line are Bonneville Hatchery on the Columbia River, Marion Forks Hatchery on the North Santiam River, the South Santiam Hatch- ery on the South Santiam River and the Willamette, McKenzie and Lieberg hatcheries in the Willamette Valley. The Cole Rivers Hatchery grows nearly 2.8 million fish for release in the Rogue River Basin. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has operated the hatchery under a cooperative agreement with the Corps since it opened in 1974. Corps spokeswoman Michelle Helms says a recent review of the Federal Acquisitions Regulations has led officials to believe a contract approach would be more appropriate than the current cooperative agreement. This year’s Super Bowl ads go political in a big way NEW YORK — Messages about America, inclusiveness — and, yes, even “four years of awful hair” — kept bubbling up in Super Bowl 51 ads from Airbnb, the NFL and a line of personal care products. But there was still plenty of escapism and light humor for those who weren’t into the politics. As the New England Patriots edged out the Atlantic Falcons on the field in Houston, Airbnb touted inclusiveness with an ad showing faces of different ethnicities and the copy: “We all belong. The world is more beautiful the more you accept.” Coca-Cola aired a previously run ad during the pregame show in which people sing “America the Beautiful” in differ- ent languages. And Budweiser ran a 60-second spot chronicling co-founder Adolphus Busch’s migration from Germany to St. Louis in 1857, prompting some critics to start a boycott cam- paign on Twitter. A scene from the company’s commercial for Super Bowl 51, between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Even a hair care brand dipped into politics: The “It’s a 10” hair brand indirectly referenced President Donald Trump’s famously unruly do in its Super Bowl spot. It’s tough to be a Super Bowl advertiser, period. But this year, a divisive political climate has roiled the nation since Trump took office in January, making it even tougher for advertisers. North Korean economics 101: How much is a dollar worth? PYONGYANG, North Korea — To get a feel for how North Korea’s economy works, go buy a roll of toilet paper. Or start up a mobile phone network. As capitalist-style markets have grown more important in North Korea, so has a market-friendly exchange rate for the much-coveted U.S. dollars, euros and Chinese yuan that lubri- cate the North’s economy. But the official and unofficial rates are totally out of whack. And as one big investor recently found out, the difference can mean hundreds of millions of dollars in lost profits. Dueling exchange rates are a common issue for develop- ing countries that have an official premium rate set by the government, often for political purposes that don’t reflect economic realities and are therefore often ignored in the marketplace. The discrepancy can severely hamper foreign investment, undermine confidence in the local currency and contribute to corruption and economic instability. But nowhere in the world is the gap bigger than North Korea, according to Steve Hanke, a professor of applied eco- nomics at the Johns Hopkins University who specializes in hyperinflation. 7 percent of Australian Catholic priests accused of abuse SYDNEY — Seven percent of priests in Australia’s Catho- lic Church were accused of sexually abusing children over the past several decades, a lawyer said today as officials investigat- ing institutional abuse across Australia revealed for the first time the extent of the crisis. The statistics were released during the opening address of a hearing of Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The royal commission — which is Australia’s highest form of inquiry — has been investi- gating since 2013 how the Catholic Church and other institutions responded to the sexual abuse of children over decades. The commission has previously heard harrowing testimony from scores of people who suffered abuse at the hands of clergy. But the full scale of the problem was never clear until today, when the commission released the statistics it has gathered. Commissioners surveyed Catholic Church authorities and found that between 1980 and 2015, 4,444 people reported they had been abused at more than 1,000 Catholic institutions across Australia, said Gail Furness, the lead lawyer assisting the com- mission. The average age of the victims was 10.5 for girls and 11.5 for boys. UN: 25-percent increase in Afghan children killed in 2016 KABUL, Afghanistan — The number of children killed in Afghanistan’s conflict rose by 25 percent in 2016, according to the United Nations Mission in Afghanistan. The 2016 Annual Report on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict in Afghanistan, released today, documents an overall 3-percent rise in civilian casualties — both deaths and injuries — from the previous year. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghani- stan (UNAMA) attributed the disproportionate spike in child casualties in 2016 mainly to a 66-percent increase in casual- ties from left-over or discarded munitions. The report states that 923 children in Afghanistan were killed in 2016, a 25-percent increase from the previous year. The number of children injured rose by about 23 percent. Overall it was the highest number of casualties among children ever recorded in a single year by UNAMA. “Conflict-related violence exacted a heavy toll on Afghani- stan in 2016, with an overall deterioration in civilian protection and the highest-total civilian casualties recorded since 2009, when UNAMA began systematic documentation of civilian casualties,” the report stated. It says that between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2016, the mission documented 11,418 civilian casualties — 3,498 deaths and 7,920 wounded. That marked a 2-percent decrease in civilian deaths and a 6-percent increase in civilians wounded, amount- ing to an overall 3-percent increase in casualties compared to 2015.
