5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MAY 15, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press North Korea: New long-range missile can carry heavy nuke SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea today boasted of a suc- cessful weekend launch of a new type of “medium long-range” ballistic rocket that can carry a heavy nuclear warhead. Outsiders also saw a significant technological jump, with the test-fire appar- ently flying higher and for a longer time period than any other such previous missile. Amid condemnation in Seoul, Tokyo and Washington, a jubi- lant North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised more nuclear and missile tests and warned that his country’s weapons could strike the U.S. mainland and Pacific holdings. North Korean propaganda must be considered with wari- ness — Pyongyang has threatened for decades to reduce Seoul to a “sea of fire,” for instance — but today’s claim, if confirmed, would mark another big advance toward the North’s goal of field- ing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the U.S. main- land. Some experts, including officials in Tokyo, estimate that Sunday’s launch successfully tested a new type of missile, poten- tially the longest in North Korea’s arsenal. The test is also an immediate challenge to South Korea’s new president, Moon Jae-in, a liberal elected last week who expressed a desire to reach out to North Korea. Pyongyang’s aggres- sive push to boost its weapons program also makes it one of the Trump administration’s most urgent foreign policy worries, though Washington has struggled to settle on a policy. North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency called the missile a “new ground-to-ground medium long-range strate- gic ballistic rocket,” and said the “Hwasong-12” was “capable of carrying a large, heavy nuclear warhead.” restrict immigration from certain Muslim-majority nations have reached the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit. After Trump issued his initial travel ban on a Friday in late January, bringing chaos and protests to airports around the coun- try, a Seattle judge blocked its enforcement nationwide — a deci- sion that was unanimously upheld by a three-judge 9th Circuit panel. ries, banks, government agencies and transport systems in scores of countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Spain, India and Japan, among others. Among those hit were Russia’s Interior Ministry and companies including Spain’s Telefonica and FedEx Corp. in the U.S. Chinese state media said 29,372 institutions there had been infected along with hundreds of thousands of devices. Morning blues as ‘WannaCry’ cyberattack hits at week’s start Lawmakers urge Trump to avoid picking a partisan for FBI job TOKYO — The worldwide “ransomware” cyberattack wreaked havoc in hospitals, schools and offices across the globe today. Asia reported thousands of new cases but no large-scale breakdowns as workers started the week by booting up their computers. The full extent of the damage from the cyberattack felt in 150 countries was unclear and could worsen if more malicious varia- tions of the online extortion scheme appear. The initial attack, known as “WannaCry,” paralyzed comput- ers running Britain’s hospital network, Germany’s national rail- way and scores of other companies and government agencies around the world. As a loose global network of cybersecurity experts fought the ransomware, the attack was disrupting computers that run facto- WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump considers a replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey, lawmakers are urging the president to steer clear of appointing any politicians. The advice came Sunday amid more criticism over Trump’s dismissal of Comey during an FBI probe of Russia’s meddling with last year’s election and any ties to the Trump campaign. James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, said the Founding Fathers created three co-equal branches of govern- ment with checks and balances, but with Trump as president, that was now “eroding.” “I think, in many ways, our institutions are under assault, both externally — and that’s the big news here, is the Russian inter- ference in our election system,” Clapper said “I think as well our institutions are under assault internally.” JIM CAMPBELL FOR PORT COMMISSION POSITION ONE The following persons support Jim Campbell for re-election to the Port of Astoria Port Commission Another appeals court to weigh Trump’s revised travel ban SEATTLE — For the second time in a week, government law- yers will try to persuade a federal appeals court to reinstate Pres- ident Donald Trump’s revised travel ban — and once again, they can expect plenty of questions today about whether the ban was designed to discriminate against Muslims. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled arguments in Seattle over Hawaii’s lawsuit chal- lenging the travel ban, which would suspend the nation’s refu- gee program and temporarily bar new visas for citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Last week, judges on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments over whether to affirm a Maryland judge’s decision putting the ban on ice. They peppered Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall with questions about whether they could consider Trump’s campaign statements calling for a ban on Muslims enter- ing the U.S., with one judge asking if there was anything other than “willful blindness” that would prevent them from doing so.
