5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF ijuana legalization but has concerns about public safety, children’s health and impaired drivers. Under the legislation, small amounts of marijuana would have been legal to possess and grow for anyone over age 21. Eight other states, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational marijuana. Vermont would have been the first state to legalize marijuana by vote of a state legislative body. The other states and D.C. legalized marijuana after public referendums. Associated Press ‘We can use peace’: Trump and Pope Francis meet VATICAN CITY — President Donald Trump and Pope Fran- cis, two leaders with contrasting styles and differing worldviews, met at the Vatican today, setting aside their previous clashes to broadcast a tone of peace for an audience around the globe. Trump, midway through a grueling nine-day, maiden interna- tional journey, called upon the pontiff in a private, 30-minute meet- ing laden with religious symbolism and ancient protocol. The pres- ident, accompanied by his wife and several aides, arrived at the Vatican just after 8 a.m. local time. The president greeted Francis in Sala del Tronetto, the room of the little throne, on the second floor of Apostolic Palace. Upon completing their meeting, the pope gave the president a medal featuring an olive branch, a symbol of peace, among other gifts. “We can use peace,” the president responded. The visit began with a handshake after each man arrived, Trump in a lengthy motorcade, Francis in a Ford Focus. The president could be heard thanking the pope and saying it was “a great honor” to be there. They posed for photographs and then sat down at the papal desk, the pope unsmiling, as their private meeting began. UK investigates ‘network’ of alleged Manchester attackers MANCHESTER, England — British security forces raided an apartment building today in central Manchester as they inves- tigated “a network” of people allegedly behind the city’s concert bombing. Hundreds of soldiers were sent to secure key sites across the country, including Buckingham Palace and the British Parlia- ment at Westminster. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the bomber, Salman Abedi, “likely” did not act alone when he killed 22 people and wounded scores at an Ariana Grande concert Monday night in Manchester. She said he had been known to security forces “up to a point.” Abedi, a 22-year-old British citizen born to Libyan parents who grew up around Manchester, died in the attack. Manchester Police Chief Constable said four people have been arrested thus far as police raid properties thought to be connected to Abedi. “I think it’s very clear this is a network we are investigating,” he said, adding that an off-duty police officer was among those killed in concert attack. Advocates: Federal role crucial for iconic waterway cleanups TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The Trump administration makes a straightforward case for slashing $427 million in federal spend- ing to heal ailing regional water bodies such as the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound: State and local governments should do the work and foot the bill. Supporters of the programs argue it’s not that simple. Cleaning up the nation’s iconic waterways is a team effort involving all lev- els of government, with nonprofit groups, universities and other players pitching in and the federal government serving as coach and sometimes as referee. If Washington walks away, some partic- ipants fear, the partnerships could unravel and the cleanups falter. “Federal involvement is critical to keeping the states working together,” said Will Baker, president of the Chesapeake Bay Foun- dation, which advocates for restoration of the nation’s largest estu- ary. “The states put in a lot of money, but the federal partnership is crucial.” The proposed Environmental Protection Agency budget for fis- cal 2018 released Tuesday calls for eliminating a series of initia- tives targeting regional waters plagued with pollution that threatens human health, kills fish and harms tourism. A White House summary said the programs fund “primar- ily local efforts,” although they “have received significant federal funding, coordination and oversight to date.” It adds, “State and local groups are engaged and capable of taking on management of Governor says no road sign for monument?

The programs are popular with constituents who treasure clean beaches and good fishing. Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican and member of the staunchly conservative Freedom Caucus, was among the sig- natories of a Feb. 23 letter to President Donald Trump supporting continued funding of the Chesapeake Bay rescue. Trump proposes $120M budget cut at nuke site despite trouble SPOKANE, Wash. — President Donald Trump’s proposed bud- get includes a cut of about $120 million for the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, despite two recent incidents that raised concern about worker safety at the former nuclear weapons production site. Hanford for decades made plutonium for nuclear weapons, and it now is engaged in a massive environmental cleanup that costs more than $2 billion per year. “The Tri-Cities community sacrificed a lot to help our coun- try win World War II and the Cold War,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, a member of the appropriations committee, on Tuesday. “The president’s proposed budget for Hanford, despite urging from both sides of the aisle, is a real disappointment.” The 2018 budget proposal still must go through Congress. The budget calls for spending $6.5 billion across the nation to clean up the legacy of nuclear weapons production. That is the agency’s largest budget request in a decade for environmental cleanup, the agency said. At Hanford, the president’s budget calls for a cut of more than $120 million for the agency’s Richland Operations Office, which deals with many nuclear waste sites and facilities on the sprawl- ing site. It leaves spending nearly flat for the Office of River Pro- tection, which deals specifically with the contents of 177 under- ground nuclear waste storage tanks that contain some of the most toxic wastes. In the past two weeks, Hanford, located near Richland, saw the partial collapse of a tunnel that contains nuclear waste and a pos- sible new leak from one of the huge double-walled storage tanks built in the 1970s. Last week, a robotic crawler inserted into the space between the two walls of Tank AZ-101 came out of the tank with unexpected radioactive contamination. Hanford officials are trying to determine the cause. Vermont governor vetoes pot bill, wants changes made MONTPELIER, Vt. — Republican Gov. Phil Scott said today that he planned to veto a bill making Vermont the ninth state to legalize recreational marijuana but indicated that he was willing to work with the legislature on a compromise. Scott said he is sending the bill back with suggestions for another path forward and suggested that changes could be made to the bill in a special session this summer. “We must get this right,” Scott said. “I think we need to move a little bit slower.” The governor has said he’s not philosophically opposed to mar- W EDNESDAY 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) 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 PM Airlines have rules about taking photos, video on planes DALLAS — Without the shocking video, it’s unlikely that the world would have learned or cared about the violent manhandling of a 69-year-old man on a plane last month. The outrage on social media, the mea culpa by an airline CEO, the promise to treat customers better — none of it would have happened. The passengers who shot those videos on a United Express plane in Chicago violated United’s policy on photography. By the letter of the airline’s law, they too could have been ordered off the plane. Under United’s policy, customers can take pictures or videos with small cameras or cellphones “provided that the purpose is capturing personal events.” Filming or photographing other cus- tomers or airline employees without their consent is prohibited. American, Delta and Southwest have similar policies. Passengers are accustomed to using their cellphones to take photos and videos that they can upload to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Airline rules on photography are sporadically enforced, but passengers should read them in the in-flight magazines because there can be consequences. This month, a United ticket agent ordered a passenger’s reser- vation canceled as he filmed her while disputing a $300 baggage fee in the New Orleans airport. After Navang Oza posted his video online, United apologized, saying that the video “does not reflect the positive customer experience we strive to offer.” Cabinet members head to Capitol Hill to defend budget WASHINGTON — Top officials in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet are heading to Capitol Hill to defend his plans to cut domes- tic programs and parry Democratic criticism of his tax proposals. Budget Director Mick Mulvaney appears today before the House Budget panel while Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will testify at the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. The budget contains virtually no further detail on taxes beyond the cuts the administration proposed in a one-page outline last month. Trump on Tuesday released a 10-year budget plan containing jarring, politically unrealistic cuts to the social safety net and a broad swath of domestic programs. The plan, Trump’s first as president, combines $4.1 trillion for the upcoming 2018 fiscal year with a promise to bring the bud- get back into balance in 10 years, relying on aggressive spending cuts, a surge in economic growth — and a $2 trillion-plus account- ing gimmick. Trump’s budget is simply a proposal. LISTINGS THE DAILY ASTORIAN A BENEDICTA, Maine — Maine’s governor is refusing to allow road signs to be installed for a new national monument, so support- ers of the park are taking matters into their own hands. Fans of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument hung a banner advertising the park from a highway overpass above Interstate 95. The sign appears to be written on a bed sheet or piece of canvas. It says “KWW Exit 264” and was first seen today. Republican Gov. Paul LePage has long opposed the creation of the monument. President Barack Obama created the park last year. A governor’s spokesman says it would be “imprudent and pre- mature” to install signs before completion of a 120-day review period ordered by President Donald Trump last month. The park is 137 square miles near Mount Katahdin.
