5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF making it one of the only camps of its kind in the world open to preschoolers, experts say. Enrollment has tripled to about 60 young campers since it opened three summers ago, with kids coming from as far as Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. - even Africa. Plans are underway to open a branch next summer in Col- orado, and the camp has been contacted by parents and organi- zations in Atlanta, Seattle, Louisiana and elsewhere interested in setting up similar programs. On a sunny July morning at camp, the theme was “Crazy Hair Day,” and 6-year-old Gracie Maxwell was dancing in the sun- shine as a Miley Cyrus song blasted from outdoor speakers. The freckled, blue-eyed blonde wore her hair in a braid on one side, a pigtail on the other and snacked on cereal as she twirled and skipped. “Once she could talk, I don’t remember a time when she didn’t say, ‘I’m a girl,’” said her mother, Molly Maxwell, who still trips over pronouns but tries to stick to “she.” Associated Press Nations race to prevent backsliding on North Korea sanctions MANILA, Philippines — Armed with extraordinary new U.N. sanctions, nations raced Monday to ensure that North Korea’s biggest trading partners actually carry them out, an elu- sive task that has undercut past attempts to strong-arm Pyong- yang into abandoning its nuclear weapons. North Korea reacted angrily, vowing to bolster its nuclear arsenal and launch “thousands-fold” revenge against the United States. In a statement carried by state media, Kim Jong Un’s gov- ernment called the sanctions a “violent infringement of its sov- ereignty” caused by a “heinous U.S. plot to isolate and stifle” North Korea. As President Donald Trump demanded full and speedy imple- mentation of the new penalties, his top diplomat laid out a nar- row path for the North to return to negotiations that could ulti- mately see sanctions lifted. Stop testing missiles for an “extended period,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said, and the U.S. might deem North Korea ready to talk. “We’ll know it when we see it,” Tillerson said. “This is not a ‘give me 30 days and we are ready to talk.’ It’s not quite that sim- ple. So it is all about how we see their attitude towards approach- ing a dialogue with us.” Even as they celebrate a diplomatic victory in persuading China and Russia to sign on to cutting new sanctions, the U.S. and other countries are deeply concerned that failure to rigor- ously enforce them could significantly blunt their impact. Since Saturday’s U.N. Security Council vote, Washington has put Bei- jing in particular on notice that it’s watching closely to ensure China doesn’t repeat its pattern of carrying out sanctions for a while, then returning to business as usual with the pariah nation on its border. US to respond by Sept. 1 to Russia’s expulsion of diplomats MANILA, Philippines — The Trump administration has yet to decide how to respond to Russia’s move to expel hundreds of American diplomats, but plans to deliver a response to Moscow by Sept. 1, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday. A day after sitting down in the Philippines with Russia’s top diplomat, Tillerson said he’d asked “clarifying questions” about the Kremlin’s retaliation announced last month following new sanctions passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has struggled to determine how the move will affect the U.S. diplomatic presence in Russia, as well as the broader implications for the troubled relationship between the nuclear-armed powers. Despite the Russian move, which seemed to plunge the two countries even further into acrimony, Russian Foreign Minis- ter Sergey Lavrov emerged from the meeting declaring a read- iness for more engagement with the U.S. on North Korea, Syria and Ukraine, among other issues. Tillerson broadly echoed that sentiment, saying the two countries had critical national security issues to discuss despite deep disagreements on some matters. “I don’t think it is useful to just cut everything off on one sin- gle issue,” Tillerson said following his first meeting with Lavrov since the new sanctions were imposed. “These are two very large countries and we should find places that we can work together, let’s try to work together. Places we have our differences, we’re going to have to continue to find a way to address those.” Tillerson also said that Russia has been showing “some will- ingness” to start talking about a resolution to the crisis in Ukraine, devoid of real progress for years. That assessment came as Lav- rov announced that the Trump administration had committed to sending its new special envoy for Ukraine negotiations, Kurt Volker, to Moscow to discuss next steps. Maduro vows ‘maximum penalty’ for attack on Venezuela base VALENCIA, Venezuela — President Nicolas Maduro vowed that a band of anti-government fighters who attacked a Venezue- lan army base will get the “maximum penalty” as his administra- tion roots out his enemies. Troops killed two of the 20 intruders who slipped into the Paramacay base in the central city of Valencia early Sunday, apparently intent on fomenting a military uprising, Maduro said in his weekly broadcast on state television. One of the invaders was injured, seven captured and 10 got away, the embattled leader said. “We know where they are headed and all of our military and police force is deployed,” Maduro said. He said he would ask for “the maximum penalty for those who participated in this terror- ist attack.” The attack came as Venezuela’s controversial constitutional From respected at elite universities to wanted for murder AP Photo/Lee Jin-man Visitors watch the North side from the unification obser- vatory in Paju, South Korea, Sunday.

Pence: Story on possible 2020 presidential run ‘disgraceful’ BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — Vice President Mike Pence has pushed back against a news report suggesting he is laying ground- work for a possible presidential bid in 2020 if President Donald Trump does not run. In a statement released by the White House, Pence said Sun- day’s story in The New York Times “is disgraceful and offensive to me, my family, and our entire team.” He added that “the alle- gations in this article are categorically false.” The formal rebuttal of a news report by the vice president was an unusual move. In it, Pence also said his team will “focus all our efforts to advance the president’s agenda and see him re-elected in 2020.” The report details efforts of several Republicans looking ahead to 2020, calling it a “shadow campaign.” It notes Pence’s politi- cal schedule and active fundraising, though it also says unnamed advisers have signaled that he’d only run if Trump doesn’t. The article noted Pence has set up a fundraising committee. Called the Great America Committee, it can accept checks of up to $5,000 from individual donors. Pence raised about $1 mil- lion at a Washington fundraiser last month, attended by dozens of lawmakers and featuring remarks from White House adviser Ivanka Trump. Transgender day camp among first to include 4-year-olds EL CERRITO, Calif. — In some ways, Rainbow Day Camp is very ordinary. Kids arrive with a packed lunch, make friend- ship bracelets, play basketball, sing songs and get silly. But it is also extraordinarily unique, from the moment campers arrive each morning. At check-in each day, campers make a nametag with their pro- noun of choice. Some opt for “she” or “he.” Or a combination of “she/he.” Or “they,” or no pronoun at all. Some change their name or pronouns daily, to see what feels right. The camp in the San Francisco Bay Area city of El Cerrito caters to transgender and “gender fluid” children, ages 4 to 12, CHICAGO — After a cross-country manhunt, a Northwest- ern University professor and University of Oxford employee are in custody for the brutal stabbing death of a 26-year-old hair styl- ist in Chicago. The case has involved peculiar twists, including a cash donation by one of the two suspects in the victim’s name at a Wisconsin library and a videotaped confession sent to friends. The two men surrendered peacefully in California after eight days as fugitives. Northwestern microbiologist Wyndham Lathem and Oxford financial officer, Andrew Warren, were wanted on first-degree murder charges for the death of Trenton James Cornell-Duran- leau. Lathem is due in court on Monday. Here’s a closer look at the case: The body of 26-year-old Cornell-Duranleau was found stabbed to death inside an apartment belonging to Lathem in an upscale neighborhood near downtown Chicago. The July 27 attack was so violent the blade of the knife believed to have been used in the stabbing was broken, police said. More Syrian child brides in Jordan amid poverty, uncertainty MAFRAQ, Jordan — Married at 15 and divorced at 16, a Syr- ian teen says she regrets having said yes to a handsome suitor — a stranger who turned into an abusive husband. Yet the reasons that transformed her into a child bride have become more prevalent among Syrians who live in Jordanian exile because of a six-year-old civil war back home. More fami- lies marry off daughters to ease the financial burden or say mar- riage is the way to protect the “honor” of girls seen as vulnerable outside their homeland. Figures from Jordan’s population census document the long suspected increase for the first time. In 2015, brides between the ages of 13 and 17 made up almost 44 percent of all Syrian females in Jordan getting married that year, compared to 33 per- cent in 2010. With Syrians expected to remain in exile for years, it’s a harm- ful trend for refugees and their overburdened host country, U.N. and Jordanian officials say. More Syrian girls will lose out on education, since most child brides drop out of school. They typically marry fellow Syrians who are just a few years older, often without a steady job — a constellation that helps perpetuate poverty. And they will likely have more children than those who marry as adults, driving up Jordan’s fertility rate. Minnesota mosque explosion ‘deeper and scarier’ than threats MINNEAPOLIS — The Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in suburban Minneapolis, like other U.S. mosques, occasionally receives threatening calls and emails. Its leaders say they’re more frightened now after an explosive shattered windows and dam- aged a room as worshippers prepared for morning prayers. “We feel like it’s much deeper and scarier than like something random,” Mohamed Omar, the center’s executive director, said Sunday. “It’s so scary.” No one was hurt in the blast, which happened around 5 a.m. Saturday. Windows of the imam’s office were shattered, either by what the FBI called an “improvised explosive device” or by an object thrown through them. The FBI is seeking suspects and try- ing to determine whether the incident was a hate crime. Gov. Mark Dayton joined other public officials and commu- nity leaders for a meeting inside the building Sunday, describing the bombing as “so wretched” and “not Minnesota.” “This is an act of terrorism. This is against the law in Amer- ica,” Dayton said at a news conference afterward, the Star Tri- bune reported.
