Newspaper Page Text5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Europe leaders answer anger over Irma response in Caribbean MARIGOT, St. Martin — Wrapping up a sweeping visit to the destroyed island of St. Martin, France’s president responded to anger that his government didn’t do enough to handle Hurricane Irma’s wrath and promised to evacuate residents of his country’s Caribbean territories and provide services and shelter for those who choose to stay. French President Emmanuel Macron outlined a plan to distribute drinking water, food and medical help using the islands’ radio stations and even megaphones, if necessary. He also said about half of the island’s mobile connectivity had been restored and all “essential communication” would be back by next week. “What we have seen today are people determined to rebuild and return to a normal life,” he said Tuesday in a press conference. “They are impatient for answers and some are very, very angry. The anger is legitimate because it is a result of the fear they have faced and of being very fatigued. It is certain that some want to leave, and we will help them in that effort.” He said France was bringing in air-conditioned tents so children can start classes again soon, and he said a center would be estab- lished by Monday to begin processing requests for ﬁ nancial help. Macron pledged to rebuild St. Martin as a “model” for with- standing future storms. spent under Obama’s law directly to states and erase Obama’s pen- alties on people who don’t purchase coverage. Detained university janitor, in US 11 years, awaits his fate BOSTON — Francisco Rodriguez-Guardado’s ﬁ rst son was born just days after he was taken into custody by federal immigra- tion ofﬁ cials for deportation back to his native El Salvador. He has yet to meet his son but is told there’s a resemblance. “They tell me he has my eyes,” the 43-year-old said with a mix of wistfulness and pride this month in an interview at the Suffolk County House of Corrections. Rodriguez-Guardado, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology janitor whose case became a rallying cry for local opponents of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown this summer, awaits his fate in the Boston jail. His supporters say his case and others like it highlight how the Republican administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration has swept up not just hardened criminals — the “bad hombres” Trump frequently railed against on the campaign trail — but also other- wise law abiding, contributing members of American society. Arrests of immigrants in the country illegally have increased about 37 percent, from about 55,000 during the ﬁ rst six months of last year to 75,000 in the ﬁ rst half of this year, according to data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Of those, non-criminal immigrants made up nearly 20,000 of all arrests, a 145 percent increase from the ﬁ rst half of last year. As Rohingya ﬂ ee violence, Myanmar’s Suu Kyi skips UN meet History of Syria’s war at risk BANGKOK — With Myanmar drawing condemnation for vio- as YouTube reins in content lence that has driven at least 370,000 Rohingya to ﬂ ee the coun- try, the government said Wednesday its leader Aung San Suu Kyi would skip this week’s U.N. General Assembly. Suu Kyi was missing the assembly, which opened Tuesday and runs through Sept. 25, in order to address domestic security issues, according to presidential ofﬁ ce spokesman Zaw Htay. Suu Kyi is not Myanmar’s president — her ofﬁ cial titles are state counselor and foreign minister — but she effectively serves as leader of the Southeast Asian nation. Zaw Htay said that, with President Htin Kyaw hospitalized, the second vice president would attend the U.N. meeting. “The ﬁ rst reason (Suu Kyi cannot attend) is because of the Rakhine terrorist attacks,” Zaw Htay said. “The state counselor is focusing to calm the situation in Rakhine state. There are cir- cumstances. The second reason is, there are people inciting riots in some areas. We are trying to take care of the security issue in many other places. The third is that we are hearing that there will be ter- rorist attacks and we are trying to address this issue.” The crisis erupted on Aug. 25, when an insurgent Rohingya group attacked on police outposts in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. That prompted Myanmar’s military to launch “clearance opera- tions” against the rebels, setting off a wave of violence that have left hundreds dead and thousands of homes burned — mostly Rohingya in both cases. Sen. Sanders, GOP push banner health care bills WASHINGTON — Liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders is ready to unveil his bill for starkly reshaping the country’s current hodge- podge health care system into one where the government provides medical insurance for everybody. Republican senators are preparing to roll out details of a last- ditch effort to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s health care law. The rival packages have little in common, other than the likeli- hood that neither is going anywhere. Seven weeks after the GOP drive to uproot Obama’s 2010 health care law crashed in the Senate, two Republican senators, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy, on Wednesday were releasing their plan for trying again. They’ve struggled for weeks to round up sufﬁ cient support for the package. It would cut and reshape Medicaid, disperse money BEIRUT — Syria’s civil war has been one of the modern world’s most brutal conﬂ icts and one of its most heavily ﬁ lmed. Hundreds of thousands of amateur videos uploaded to YouTube document every heartbeat of the war over the past seven years, from momentous events like cities under bombardment to intimate scenes like a father cradling his dead children. Syrian activists fear all that history could be erased as YouTube moves to rein in violent content. In the past few months, the tech giant has implemented new policies to remove material considered graphic or supporting terrorism, and hundreds of thousands of vid- eos from the conﬂ ict suddenly disappeared without notice. Activ- ists say crucial evidence of human rights violations risks being lost — as well as an outlet to the world that is crucial for them. Activists are rushing to set up alternative archives, but they also recognize nothing can replace YouTube because of its technologi- cal infrastructure and global reach. “It is like we are writing our memories — not in our own book but in a third party’s book. We don’t have control of it,” said Hadi al-Khatib, co-founder of the Syrian Archive, a group founded in 2014 to preserve open source evidence of crimes committed by all sides of the Syrian conﬂ ict. Based on his database and review of around 900 groups and individuals, al-Khatib said some 180 channels connected to Syria were shut since June, when YouTube began using machine learn- ing protocols to sift through videos on the site for objectionable content.

Spurred in part by the car industry’s race to build driverless vehicles, marine innovators are building automated ferry boats for Amsterdam canals, cargo ships that can steer themselves through Norwegian fjords and remote-controlled ships to carry containers across the Atlantic and Paciﬁ c. The ﬁ rst such autonomous ships could be in operation within three years. One experimental workboat spent this summer dodging tall ships and tankers in Boston Harbor, outﬁ tted with sensors and self-navigating software and emblazoned with the words “UNMANNED VESSEL” across its aluminum hull. “We’re in full autonomy now,” said Jeff Gawrys, a marine tech- nician for Boston startup Sea Machines Robotics, sitting at the helm as the boat ﬂ oated through a harbor channel. “Roger that,” said computer scientist Mohamed Saad Ibn Sed- dik, as he helped to guide the ship from his laptop on a nearby dock. ESPN distances itself from anchor Jemele Hill’s Trump tweets BRISTOL, Conn. — ESPN distanced itself from anchor Jemele Hill’s tweets one day after she called President Donald Trump “a white supremacist” and “a bigot.” “The comments on Twitter from Jemele Hill regarding the pres- ident do not represent the position of ESPN,” the network tweeted Tuesday from its public relations department’s account. “We have addressed this with Jemele and she recognizes her actions were inappropriate.” Project Updates Study prompts call to examine ﬂ u vaccine and miscarriage NEW YORK — A puzzling study of U.S. pregnancies found that women who had miscarriages between 2010 and 2012 were more likely to have had back-to-back annual ﬂ u shots that included protection against swine ﬂ u.

THE DAILY ASTORIAN A Vaccine experts think the results may reﬂ ect the older age and other miscarriage risks for the women, and not the ﬂ u shots. Health ofﬁ cials say there is no reason to change the government recom- mendation that all pregnant women be vaccinated against the ﬂ u. They say the ﬂ u itself is a much greater danger to women and their fetuses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reached out to a doctor’s group, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, to warn them the study is coming out and help them prepare for a potential wave of worry from expectant moms, CDC ofﬁ cials said. “I want the CDC and researchers to continue to investigate this,” said Dr. Laura Riley, a Boston-based obstetrician who leads a committee on maternal immunization. “But as an advocate for pregnant women, what I hope doesn’t happen is that people panic and stop getting vaccinated.” Past studies have found ﬂ u vaccines are safe during pregnancy, though there’s been little research on impact of ﬂ u vaccinations given in the ﬁ rst three months of pregnancy.
