WORLD IN BRIEF
with laws passed by the newly installed constitutional assembly.
“We are not threatening anyone,” said Aristobulo Isturiz, the
constitutional assembly’s first vice president. “We are looking for
ways to coexist.”
Leaders of congress, which previously voted not to recognize
any of the new super-body’s decrees, said lawmakers would try
to meet in the gold-domed legislative palace Wednesday, but there
were questions whether security officers guarding the building
would let them in.

Trump, North Korea trade
escalating threats of fire
SEOUL, South Korea — In an exchange of threats, U.S. Pres-
ident Donald Trump warned Pyongyang of “fire and fury like the
world has never seen” and the North’s military claimed Wednesday
it was examining plans for attacking Guam.
The high-level tit-for-tat follows reports that North Korea has
mastered a crucial technology needed to strike the United States
with a nuclear missile.
Despite regular North Korean threats against Guam, a U.S. ter-
ritory in the Pacific about 2,100 miles from the Korean Peninsula,
it is extremely unlikely that Pyongyang would risk the assured
annihilation of its revered leadership with a pre-emptive attack on
U.S. citizens. It’s also not clear how reliable North Korea’s mid-
range missiles would be in an attack against a distant target given
the relatively few times they’ve been tested.
Even so, the competing threats and Trump’s use of North Korea-
style rhetoric — Pyongyang has long vowed to reduce Seoul to a
“sea of fire” — raise already high animosity and heighten worries
that a miscalculation might spark conflict between the rivals.
The North Korean army said in a statement that it is studying
a plan to create an “enveloping fire” in areas around Guam with
medium- to long-range ballistic missiles. The statement described
Andersen Air Force Base on Guam as a “beachhead” for a poten-
tial U.S. invasion of North Korea it needed to neutralize. It was
unlikely the North’s threat was a direct response to Trump’s com-
ments to the camera at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Oregon Health Authority director
resigns, last day will be Aug. 31
SALEM — The Oregon Health Authority director resigned
Tuesday at the request of the Gov. Kate Brown after a communica-
tion plan became public detailing how the agency intended to dam-
age the reputation of a Portland health care agency.
Lynne Saxton insisted that she never implemented the
bare-knuckled tactics advocated in the plan and publicly apolo-
gized, but it wasn’t enough, The Oregonian reported. The commu-
nication plan was first reported by the Portland Tribune.
Brown said in a news release Tuesday that after discussion with
Saxton, they agreed her resignation was in the best interests of the
agency.
“Lynne has led the Oregon Health Authority through its most
challenging times and helped me ensure that every Oregonian
has access to the care they need,” Brown said. “She is known as a
fighter for Oregon’s values and I am proud of how she brought that
level of commitment to the staff of OHA.”
Saxton’s removal was borne in the agency’s long bitter legal
dispute with FamilyCare Health, one of Oregon’s 16 coordinated
care organizations. The two camps have fought for years, with
FamilyCare insisting the agency’s ratemaking process is unfair.
Public records revealed a communications strategy intended
to discredit FamilyCare, which came after other problems at the
health authority. Earlier this spring, it acknowledged that it had
awarded Medicaid benefits to tens of thousands of Oregonians who
didn’t qualify for the program. The agency also has spent more
than $160 million on an information technology system to auto-
mate Medicaid enrollment that’s been plagued with issues.
Saxton’s last day at the agency will be Aug. 31.
Vehicle hits soldiers in Paris
suburb, injuring 6
LEVALLOIS-PERRET, France — French police are searching
for a driver who slammed his BMW into a group of soldiers in a
Paris suburb Wednesday, injuring six of them in what appeared to
be a carefully timed ambush before speeding away, officials said.
The driver’s motive is unclear, but officials said he deliberately
aimed at the soldiers, and counterterrorism authorities opened an
investigation. It is the latest of several attacks targeting security
forces guarding France over the past year. While others have tar-
geted prominent sites like the Eiffel Tower, Wednesday’s attack hit

Kenyan opposition leader
Odinga alleges fraud
AP Photo/Jon Chol Jin
Tens of thousands of North Koreans gathered for a rally
Wednesday at Kim Il Sung Square carrying placards and
propaganda slogans as a show of support for their rejec-
tion of the United Nations’ latest round of sanctions.
a leafy, relatively affluent suburb that is home to France’s main
intelligence service, the DGSI.
Three of the soldiers suffered light injuries while three were
more seriously injured, but their lives are not in danger, according
to the Defense Ministry.
They were from the 35th infantry regiment and served in Oper-
ation Sentinelle, created to guard prominent French sites after a
string of deadly Islamic extremist attacks in 2015.
Witnesses described seeing a BMW with one person inside
waiting in a cul-de-sac near a building used for Sentinelle soldiers,
according to two police officials. One official said the attacker hit
just as a group of soldiers emerged from the building to board vehi-
cles for a new shift.
Could voting fraud panel create
an easy target for hackers?
CHERRY HILL, N.J. — Officials from both parties had a con-
sistent answer last year when asked about the security of voting
systems: U.S. elections are so decentralized that it would be impos-
sible for hackers to manipulate ballot counts or voter rolls on a
wide scale.
But the voter fraud commission established by President Don-
ald Trump could take away that one bit of security.
The commission has requested information on voters from
every state and recently won a federal court challenge to push
ahead with the collection, keeping it in one place.
By compiling a national list of registered voters, the federal
government could provide one-stop shopping for hackers and hos-
tile foreign governments seeking to wreak havoc with elections.
“Coordinating a national voter registration system located in the
White House is akin to handing a zip drive to Russia,” said Ken-
tucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat
who has refused to send data to the commission.
Venezuela’s new assembly
declares itself all-powerful
CARACAS, Venezuela — The new constitutional assembly
assumed even more power in Venezuela by declaring itself as the
superior body to all other governmental institutions, including the
opposition-controlled congress.
That decree came Tuesday just hours after the assembly dele-
gates took control of a legislative chamber and put up pictures of
the late President Hugo Chavez, who installed Venezuela’s social-
ist system.
Delcy Rodriguez, the head of the ruling socialist party and
leader of the body, said the unanimously approved decree prohibits
lawmakers in congress from taking any action that would interfere
NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga
on Wednesday alleged fraud in the country’s general election, say-
ing hackers infiltrated the database of the country’s election com-
mission and manipulated the results in what he called an “attack on
our democracy.”
Odinga’s allegations followed the release of election results
showing President Uhuru Kenyatta with a wide lead over the oppo-
sition leader after votes from the vast majority of polling stations
had been counted.
“Hackers gained entry into our election database” and “created
errors,” Odinga said at a news conference.
“You can only cheat the people for so long,” the opposition
leader said. “The 2017 general election was a fraud.”
Odinga also ran against Kenyatta in the 2013 vote and unsuc-
cessfully challenged the results in court with allegations of
vote-tampering. The longtime opposition figure also ran in the
2007 election, which was followed by violence fueled by ethnic
divisions that killed more than 1,000 people.
A US back road is route to hope
in Canada for many migrants
CHAMPLAIN, N.Y. — They have come from all over the
United States, piling out of taxis, pushing strollers and pulling lug-
gage, to the end of a country road in the north woods.
Where the pavement stops, they pick up small children and
lead older ones wearing Mickey Mouse backpacks around a “road
closed” sign, threading bushes, crossing a ditch, and filing past
another sign in French and English that says “No pedestrians.”
Then they are arrested.
Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, migrants who came to the
U.S. from across the globe — Syria, Congo, Haiti, elsewhere —
arrive here where Roxham Road dead-ends so they can walk into
Canada, hoping its policies will give them the security they believe
the political climate in the United States does not.
“In Trump’s country, they want to put us back to our country,”
said Lena Gunja, a 10-year-old from Congo, who until this week
had been living in Portland, Maine. She was traveling with her
mother, father and younger sister. “So we don’t want that to hap-
pen to us, so we want a good life for us. My mother, she wants a
good life for us.”
The passage has become so crowded this summer that Cana-
dian police set up a reception center on their side of the border
in the Quebec community of Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, about 30
miles south of Montreal, or almost 300 miles north of New York
City.
American flight underscores
hazards posed by turbulence
DALLAS — At some point during many flights, the captain
will calmly announce that there could be some bumps ahead and
so passengers must be seated with their seat belts on.
The plane might seem to bobble or bounce a bit, but rarely does
it turn into a serious threat to safety. That, however, is just what
happened to an American Airlines flight last weekend, when 10
people were injured as the plane plowed through turbulence on its
way to landing in Philadelphia.
About 40 people a year are seriously injured by turbulence
in the U.S., according to Federal Aviation Administration figures
from the last 10 years. The FAA counted 44 injuries last year, the
most since more than 100 were hurt in 2009.
