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.”

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

Council unanimously approved tough new sanctions Sat-
urday to punish North Korea for its escalating nuclear and

valued at $3 billion last year.
assembly is getting down to work, signaling in its initial decrees
last week that delegates will target Maduro’s foes as he had
warned.
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.
