5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Malin said Mohsen Dehnavi and his family were put on a return flight shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday. Dehnavi was arriving in the U.S. to start work at a prominent Boston hospital. Boston Children’s Hospital said in a statement earlier Tuesday that Dehnavi was prevented from entering the country with his wife and three young children despite holding a J-1 visa for visit- ing scholars. They arrived at the airport Monday. The hospital said the reasons for the detention were unclear. Associated Press As Russia scandal touches his son, Trump privately rages WASHINGTON — The snowballing revelations about Don- ald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer during last year’s presidential campaign have broadsided the White House, dis- tracting from its agenda as aides grapple with a crisis involving the president’s family. The public has not laid eyes on the president since his return from Europe Saturday. But in private, Trump has raged against the latest Russia development, with most of his ire directed at the media, not his son, according to people who have spoken to him in recent days. The only comment from Trump on the mat- ter for much of the day came in a brief statement via spokes- woman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said Tuesday that the president believes his son is “a high-quality person.” The bombshell revelation that Trump Jr. was eager to accept information from the Russian government landed hard on weary White House aides. While staff people have grown accustomed to a good news cycle being overshadowed by the Russia inves- tigations, Trump aides and outside advisers privately acknowl- edged that this week’s developments felt more serious. Trump Jr. released four pages of emails Tuesday in which he communicates with an associate trying to arrange a meet- ing with a Russian lawyer. In the emails, the intermediary says the attorney has negative information about Democrat Hillary Clinton that is part of the Russian government’s efforts to help Trump in the campaign. The then-candidate’s son responds: “I love it.” This new setback raises new questions about whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Moscow during the elec- tion, a charge the president has denied for months. And it points those questions more directly at the inner circle of Trump’s own family. University of Oregon reduces size of tuition increase EUGENE — Students will pay more to attend the University of Oregon next fall, but not as much as feared. The university’s Board of Trustees voted to increase in-state tuition by 6.6 percent instead of the 10.6 percent announced ear- lier this year. State legislators last week provided $70 million more than expected to higher education. They offered the money if public universities planning large tuition increases agreed to make the hikes less steep. The Register-Guard reports the board voted by phone Tues- day. It was 11-0, with three members absent. US-led coalition: Amnesty report on Mosul ‘irresponsible’ IRBIL, Iraq — The U.S.-led coalition said today that an Amnesty International report accusing its forces of violating international law during the fight against the Islamic State group in Mosul is “irresponsible.” The report released Tuesday said Iraqi civilians were sub- jected to “relentless and unlawful attacks” by the coalition and Iraqi forces during the grueling nine-month battle to drive IS from Iraq’s second largest city. It said IS militants had carried out mass killings and forcibly displaced civilians to use them as human shields. “War is not pleasant, and pretending that it should be is foolish and places the lives of civilians and soldiers alike at risk,” Col. Joe Scrocca, a coalition spokesman, told The Associated Press. Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared “total victory” in Mosul on Monday, but clashes along the edge of the Old City continued into the evening Tuesday. In all, 5,805 civilians may have been killed in the fight for western Mosul by coalition attacks, Amnesty said, citing data from Airwars, an organization monitoring civilian deaths caused by the anti-IS coalition in Iraq and Syria.

A vast iceberg with twice the volume of Lake Erie has broken off from a key floating ice shelf in Antarctica, scientists said today. The iceberg broke off from the Larsen C ice shelf, scientists at the University of Swansea in Britain said. The iceberg, which is likely to be named A68, is described as weighing 1.12 trillion tons. Scientists say massive iceberg has broken off in Antarctica LONDON — A vast iceberg with twice the volume of Lake Erie has broken off from a key floating ice shelf in Antarctica, scientists said today. The iceberg broke off from the Larsen C ice shelf, scien- tists at the University of Swansea in Britain said. The iceberg is described as weighing 1.12 trillion tons. The process, known as calving, occurred in the last few days, when a 2,240-square-mile section broke away. “We have been anticipating this event for months, and have been surprised how long it took for the rift to break through the final few kilometers of ice,” said Adrian Luckman of Swansea University. “We will continue to monitor both the impact of this calving event on the Larsen C Ice Shelf, and the fate of this huge iceberg.” It was a natural event that wasn’t caused by man-made climate change, said Swansea glaciologist Martin O’Leary. Nonetheless, “this puts the ice shelf in a very vulnerable posi- tion,” he said in a statement. Scientists said the latest iceberg break won’t affect sea levels in the short term. Hospital: Jailed Nobel laureate’s condition life-threatening BEIJING — China’s imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Liu Xiaobo, is in life-threatening condition with multiple organ failure and his family has opted against inserting a breathing tube needed to keep him alive, the hospital treating him said today. Liu, who has advanced liver cancer, is suffering from respira- tory and renal failure as well as septic shock, the First Hospital of China Medical University said on its website. It said doctors informed Liu’s family of the need for a trache- ostomy to keep him alive, but they declined. Liu and his family, who are being closely guarded in the hospital, could not immedi- ately be reached for comment. China’s most prominent political prisoner was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer in May and was transferred to the hospital in the northeastern city of Shenyang. Liu’s declining health has become the subject of international attention, with supporters and several foreign governments call- ing for him to be freed to go abroad for treatment. Detained Iranian researcher sent back to home country BOSTON — An Iranian cancer researcher who was detained at Boston’s Logan International Airport has been sent back to his home country. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol spokeswoman Stephanie WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI faces a confirmation hearing today that will undoubtedly focus on the political tumult surrounding his nomination, with both Democrats and Republicans seeking assurances of his inde- pendence from the White House. Christopher Wray, 50, would inherit the nation’s top law enforcement agency at a particularly challenging time. Trump abruptly fired predecessor James Comey, who was widely admired within the agency, during its investigation into Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election and potential coordina- tion with the Trump campaign. Today’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee could delve into Wray’s lengthy legal career that included a stint as a top Justice Department official in the Bush administration and white collar work at an international law firm with several major corporations and banks as clients. But lawmakers are more likely to drill into Wray’s leadership style and how he would operate under a president who is said to have demanded loyalty from Comey and who has appeared insensitive to the traditionally bright boundary between the White House and the FBI. Announced as the nominee in a curt, early morning tweet by Trump, and without the pageantry of a Rose Garden ceremony, the hearing will offer the first public, close-up look at Wray’s background. How severe, ongoing stress can affect a child’s brain ASHEVILLE, N.C. — A quiet, unsmiling little girl with big brown eyes crawls inside a carpeted cubicle, hugs a stuffed teddy bear tight, and turns her head away from the noisy classroom. The safe spaces, quiet times and breathing exercises for her and the other preschoolers at the Verner Center for Early Learn- ing are designed to help kids cope with intense stress so they can learn. But experts hope there’s an even bigger benefit — pro- tecting young bodies and brains from stress so persistent that it becomes toxic. It’s no secret that growing up in tough circumstances can be hard on kids and lead to behavior and learning problems. But researchers are discovering something different. Many believe that ongoing stress during early childhood — from grinding pov- erty, neglect, parents’ substance abuse and other adversity — can smolder beneath the skin, harming kids’ brains and other body systems. And research suggests that can lead to some of the major causes of death and disease in adulthood, including heart attacks and diabetes. “The damage that happens to kids from the infectious disease of toxic stress is as severe as the damage from meningitis or polio or pertussis,” says Dr. Tina Hahn, a pediatrician in rural Caro, Michigan. She says her No. 1 goal as a physician is to prevent toxic stress. Hahn routinely questions families about stresses at home, educates them about the risks and helps them find ways to manage. Mounting research on potential biological dangers of toxic stress is prompting a new public health approach to identifying and treating the effects of poverty, neglect, abuse and other adver- sity. While some in the medical community dispute that research, pediatricians, mental health specialists, educators and commu- nity leaders are increasingly adopting what is called “trauma-in- formed” care.
