WORLD IN BRIEF
passed a “Balearic-style bullfighting” bill today. The law also
requires anti-doping tests for both matadors and bulls and limits
the time each bull spends in the ring to 10 minutes.
Conservative deputies who opposed the law said promoters
will find it virtually impossible to hold bullfights under the new
restrictions.
Opponents also say the bill could be at odds with the protec-
tion the Spanish Constitution grants to bullfighting as national
heritage.
Humane Society International, an animal rights organization,
hailed Monday’s move by the islands’ parliament as “a very satis-
fying victory for compassionate policymaking.”

Trump son-in-law Kushner heads
to Congress in Russia probe
WASHINGTON — Congressional investigators probing Rus-
sia’s meddling in the U.S. election will have their first opportu-
nity this week to hear from someone in President Donald Trump’s
innermost circle: son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Kushner, who is a senior adviser to the president and is mar-
ried to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, will talk to staff on the Sen-
ate Intelligence Committee today behind closed doors. On Tues-
day, he’ll talk privately to members of the House Intelligence
Committee.
Both panels are investigating Russian interference and pos-
sible connections to Trump’s campaign. Kushner has attracted
attention for a December meeting with a leading Russian diplo-
mat. He oversaw digital strategy for the campaign, and some law-
makers have said they want more answers about whether Russian
social media “trolls” were connected to Trump’s election efforts.
Kushner also attended a June 2016 meeting with Trump’s
son, Donald Trump Jr., and his former campaign manager, Paul
Manafort, and a Russian lawyer who Trump Jr. was told had
damaging information about election rival Hillary Clinton. Con-
gressional investigators have said they are interested in learning
more about the meeting and want to talk to those who attended.
Abbe Lowell, a lawyer for Kushner, said ahead of the meet-
ings that Kushner “has been and is prepared to voluntarily coop-
erate and provide whatever information he has on the investiga-
tions” to Congress.
Driver charged in smuggling
deaths of 10 immigrants
SAN ANTONIO — The driver of a broiling tractor-trailer
found packed with immigrants outside a Walmart in San Antonio
was charged today in the deaths of 10 of his passengers and could
face the death penalty.
James Matthew Bradley Jr., 60, of Clearwater, Florida,
awaited an appearance in federal court later in the day to face
charges of illegally transporting immigrants for financial gain,
resulting in death.
Authorities discovered eight bodies inside the crowded
18-wheeler parked in the summer heat, and two more victims
died at the hospital. Officials feared the death toll could rise
because nearly 20 others rescued from the truck were in dire con-
dition, many suffering from extreme dehydration and heatstroke.
A passenger told authorities that they took turns breathing
through a hole in the trailer and pounding on the walls to try to
get the driver’s attention, according to court papers.
“We’re looking at a human-trafficking crime,” San Antonio
Police Chief William McManus said Sunday, calling it “a hor-
rific tragedy.”
Seattle suburb may decide
repeal of ‘sanctuary city’ status
BURIEN, Wash. — Voters in the Seattle suburb of Burien
may decide this fall whether to repeal the city’s so-called “sanc-
tuary city” ordinance aimed at protecting immigrants.
King County elections officials on Friday verified an initiative
petition that would repeal an ordinance passed in January direct-
ing Burien employees and law enforcement not to ask about a
person’s immigration status or religious affiliation.
The Burien City Council must now pass the proposed initia-
tive or send the measure to voters on Nov. 7.
Burien city spokeswoman Emily Inlow-Hood says the council
will likely meet within a week to discuss the two options.
In January, the council on a 4-3 vote passed the ordinance
aimed at fostering trust and cooperation between immigrant com-
munities and city and police officials.
But petition backers say such sanctuary city ordinances chill
the sharing of information with federal immigration officials and
threaten public safety.
South Africa moves ahead on
domestic trade in rhino horn
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa said today it is mov-
ing ahead with draft regulations for a domestic trade in rhino
horn, despite critics’ concerns that a legal market will spur rhino
poaching.
Anyone possessing a rhino horn will need a permit under
national rules that are being prepared, and South Africa contin-
ues to recognize a ban on the international trade in horn that was
imposed in 1977, said Edna Molewa, the environmental affairs
minister.
Earlier this year, South Africa’s Constitutional Court rejected a

Rhinos graze in the bush on the edge of Kruger Nation-
al Park in South Africa. South Africa’s government said
today it is moving ahead with draft regulations for a do-
mestic trade in rhino horn, despite critics’ concerns that a
legal market will spur rhino poaching.
government appeal to preserve a 2009 ban on the domestic trade
in the horns of rhinos, which have been poached in record num-
bers in the past decade. A rhino breeder in South Africa, which
is home to most of the world’s rhinos, plans an online auction of
horn next month.
Rhino breeders say a regulated trade would undercut poaching.
Some international conservation groups disagree, saying it would
only encourage traffickers to kill rhinos and try to sell their horns
on the legal market.
Under the regulations, rhino horns can be exported from South
Africa for “non-commercial purposes, such as personal use, hunt-
ing trophies, research or education and training,” Molewa said.
Horns that are exported must be subject to DNA tests and
contain a microchip and serial number, according to the minis-
ter. Information about the owner of an exported horn, as well as
the horn itself, must be logged in a national database, and a per-
mit from a U.N. wildlife group, the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also will
be required.
Molewa also said 529 rhinos were killed for their horns in
South Africa in the first half of this year, a drop of 13 over the
same period in 2016. South Africa has nearly 20,000 rhinos,
according to some estimates.
UK parents halt court battle
over their sick baby Charlie
LONDON — The parents of critically ill baby Charlie Gard
wept as they dropped their legal bid today to send him to the
United States for an experimental medical treatment, acknowl-
edging that the window of opportunity to help him had closed.
Charlie’s mother, Connie Yates, hugged her husband Chris
Gard as they described their decision to “let our son go.” Recent
medical tests on 11-month-old Charlie showed the baby has irre-
versible muscular damage, and the new treatment wouldn’t help.
“Mummy and Daddy love you so much, Charlie. We always
have and we always will. And we are so sorry that we couldn’t
save you,” Yates said as she wept during the hearing. “We had the
chance but we weren’t allowed to give you that chance.”
Chris Gard said too much time was spent in court battles,
wasting the chance to help Charlie. Both parents paid tribute to
their “warrior son.”
“We will let our son go, and be with the angels,” Yates said.
Charlie has a rare genetic condition, and his parents wanted
him to receive an experimental treatment in the U.S.
Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London had
argued that the treatment wouldn’t help and could cause the child
pain, so they challenged the parent’s wishes. The hospital wanted
to switch off his life support and allow Charlie to die peacefully.
The case won international attention after Charlie’s parents
received support from Pope Francis, U.S. President Donald
Trump and some U.S. lawmakers. Some U.S.-based activists also
traveled to London to support Charlie’s parents.
Spanish islands approve
booze-free, bloodless bullfights
MADRID — Lawmakers in Spain’s Balearic Islands have
banned spectators under age 18, alcohol and the killing or harm-
ing of animals at regional bullfights.

JERUSALEM — A deadly shooting at Israel’s Embassy in
Jordan further complicated Israeli government efforts today to
find a way out of an escalating crisis over Jerusalem’s most con-
tested holy site, including mass Muslim prayer protests and Israe-
li-Palestinian violence.
The shooting, in which an Israeli security guard killed two Jor-
danians after being attacked by one of them with a screwdriver,
has led to a diplomatic standoff between the two countries at a
time when Jordan is heavily involved in efforts to defuse the cri-
sis over the Jerusalem holy site. Jordan is the Muslim custodian of
the shrine, which is also holy to Jews.
Jordanian officials said today that the guard could only leave if
he first submitted to questioning, according to a news site linked
to Jordan’s military. Israel insisted the guard has diplomatic
immunity.
The drama played out as President Donald Trump’s Mideast
envoy, Jason Greenblatt, headed to the Holy Land today. It was
the first sign of a high-level, on-the-ground attempt by the Trump
administration to end the standoff between Israel and the Mus-
lim world.
The escalation began earlier this month when Arab gunmen
fired from the holy site, killing two Israeli policemen. In response,
Israel installed metal detectors at the site, a move that incensed the
Muslim world.
Taliban suicide car bombing
in Kabul kills 24 people
KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber rammed his car
packed with explosives into a bus carrying government employ-
ees in the Afghan capital early today, killing 24 people and wound-
ing 42 others, Kabul’s police chief spokesman said. The Taliban
claimed responsibility for the assault.
The attack took place in a western Kabul neighborhood where
several prominent politicians reside and at rush hour, as residents
were heading to work and students were on their way to a nearby
private high school, said Basir Mujahed, the spokesman.
“The bomber attacked at one of the busiest times of the day,”
the spokesman said. “There were traffic jams with people going
to work and to the university and schools. Many of the shops had
just opened.”
The bus was completely destroyed, along with three other cars
and several shops in the area, he said, adding children were among
the wounded.
In a statement the Interior Ministry called the attack “a crimi-
nal act against humanity.”
Brazilians funneled as ‘slaves’ by
US church, ex-members say
SPINDALE, N.C. — When Andre Oliveira answered the call
to leave his Word of Faith Fellowship congregation in Brazil to
move to the mother church in North Carolina at the age of 18, his
passport and money were confiscated by church leaders — for
safekeeping, he said he was told.
Trapped in a foreign land, he said he was forced to work 15
hours a day, usually for no pay, first cleaning warehouses for the
secretive evangelical church and later toiling at businesses owned
by senior ministers. Any deviation from the rules risked the wrath
of church leaders, he said, ranging from beatings to shaming from
the pulpit.
“They trafficked us up here. They knew what they were doing.
They needed labor and we were cheap labor — hell, free labor,”
Oliveira said.
An Associated Press investigation has found that Word of Faith
Fellowship used its two church branches in Latin America’s larg-
est nation to siphon a steady flow of young laborers who came on
tourist and student visas to its 35-acre compound in rural Spindale.
Under U.S. law, visitors on tourist visas are prohibited from
performing work for which people normally would be compen-
sated. Those on student visas are allowed some work, under cir-
cumstances that were not met at Word of Faith Fellowship, the
AP found.
