5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF turns sitting behind her in support. The Office of the House Historian said it was the longest continuous speech in the chamber on record. “You see, these people are being deported,” Pelosi said around hour six. “We can do some- thing today to at least make whole the children.” Her remarks seemed partly aimed at the lib- eral wing of Pelosi’s own party, who seethed as Senate Democrats cut a budget deal with Republicans that could quickly steal the momentum behind the effort to resolve the Dreamers’ plight. The wide-ranging budget accord says noth- ing about renewing the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, called DACA, which temporarily shields Dreamers — hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the country as children and living here ille- gally — from deportation. President Donald Trump has moved to annul DACA. Associated Press US says attack on Syrian forces was an act of self-defense BEIRUT — Syrian state-run media said today a rare U.S. strike on government-backed troops in eastern Syria killed and wounded doz- ens of tribal fighters, calling it a new effort “to support terrorism.” The U.S.-led coalition said its action was in “self-defense,” citing a major attack on its allied forces and U.S. advisers in Deir el-Zour prov- ince by at least 500 fighters, battle tanks, howit- zers and mortars. The overnight attack, which a U.S. mili- tary official earlier said killed about 100 of the attackers, added another layer to the Syrian con- flict that is once again plunging into a new and unpredictable spiral of violence. The attack in Deir el-Zour province in north- eastern Syria occurred in crowded battle space. A stronghold of Islamic State militants until late last year, the province also was the group’s main source of oil revenue. U.S.-backed Kurd- ish-led forces have been fighting for control of Deir el-Zour with rival Russian-backed Syrian troops that are reinforced by Iranian-supported militias. The U.S.-backed forces control areas east of the Euphrates River and most of the oil and gas fields, while government forces are based in the west. Previous friction was reported before, but Wednesday’s incident appeared to be the largest since last year. The IS militants have been dis- persed in the province, which also has a number of U.S. bases. Col. Thomas F. Veale said today that the coa- lition reported to the Russians the buildup of the pro-government forces in the area before the attack, and communicated with them during and after it. The Russian officials offered assurances that they would not engage the coalition forces in the area, Veale said. Senate leaders’ budget deal faces opposition in both parties WASHINGTON — Lawmakers pressed to enact a massive budget deal today along with a temporary funding measure to prevent a gov- AP Photo/Alex Brandon Fans line Benjamin Franklin Parkway before a Super Bowl victory parade today for the Philadelphia Eagles. ernment shutdown at midnight. GOP leaders moved to shore up support among conservatives for a plan to shower the Pentagon and domes- tic programs with an extra $300 billion over the next two years. The measure was a triumph for Republican allies of the Pentagon and for Democrats seek- ing more spending on infrastructure and fight- ing opioid abuse. But it represented a bitter defeat for many liberal Democrats who sought to use the par- ty’s leverage on the budget to resolve the plight of immigrant “Dreamers” who face deportation after being brought to the U.S. illegally as chil- dren. The deal does not address immigration. And some tea party Republicans shredded the measure as a budget-buster. Beyond the $300 billion figure, the agree- ment adds $89 billion in overdue disaster aid for hurricane-slammed Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, a politically charged increase in the gov- ernment’s borrowing cap, and a grab bag of health and tax provisions.

The White House backed the deal — despite President Donald Trump’s outburst a day ear- lier that he’d welcome a government shutdown if Democrats didn’t accept his immigration-lim- iting proposals. Pelosi speaks for record 8 hours in favor of ‘Dreamers’ WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi staged a record-breaking, eight- hour speech in hopes of pressuring Republi- cans to allow a vote on protecting “Dreamer” immigrants — and to demonstrate to increas- ingly angry progressives and Democratic activ- ists that she has done all she could. Wearing four-inch heels and forgoing any breaks, Pelosi, 77, spent much of the rare talk- athon Wednesday reading personal letters from the young immigrants whose temporary pro- tection from deportation is set to expire next month. The California Democrat quoted from the Bible and Pope Francis, as Democrats took George W. Bush says Russia meddled in 2016 US election ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — For- mer President George W. Bush said today that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 American presidential election, forcefully rebutting fellow Republi- can Donald Trump’s denials of Moscow trying to affect the vote. While never mentioning President Trump by name, Bush appeared to be pushing back on Trump’s attempts to have warmer relations with Russia, as well as his comments on immigration. The White House did not immediately com- ment on Bush’s remarks. U.S. intelligence agen- cies have concluded Russia meddled in the 2016 election to help Trump win. Numerous investi- gations are under way to determine whether Trump’s campaign aided the Kremlin in its efforts. Speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bush called him “zero-sum.” He stressed the need to back NATO and other alliances the U.S. has with the world. Bush also criticized Trump’s decision to scrap a program implemented by former Presi- dent Barack Obama’s administration that allows young immigrants living in the U.S. illegally who were brought here as children to remain in America. “America’s their home,” the 43rd American president said. “They’ve got to get it fixed.” • Hot Chocolate • Italian Soda • Creamosa • Steamers • Real Fruit Smoothies 1062 Marine Drive Astoria, Oregon 97103 THE DAILY ASTORIAN T HURSDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 SCHEDULE A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach Evening listings THURSDAY F EBRUARY 8 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Jeopardy!
