5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF Aung San Suu Kyi, which took power in 2016. Though the military, which ruled the country for a half-century, maintains control of sev- eral key ministries, Suu Kyi’s rise to govern- ment had raised hopes for an accelerated tran- sition to full democracy and her stance on the Rohingya crisis has disappointed many former admirers. As the verdict was announced in the hot Yangon courtroom, Kyaw Soe Oo’s wife started crying, leaning into the lap of the person next to her. Outside the court, police and journalists shouted as the two Reu- ters reporters were led to a truck to be taken away. Associated Press Firefighters try to save relics as fire engulfs Rio museum RIO DE JANEIRO — A huge fire engulfed Brazil’s 200-year-old National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, lighting up the night sky with tow- ering flames as firefighters and museum work- ers raced to save historical relics from the blaze. The esteemed museum, which houses arti- facts from Egypt, Greco-Roman art and some of the first fossils found in Brazil, was closed to the public at the time of the fire, which broke out at 7:30 p.m. Sunday local time, it said in a statement. There were no reports of injuries, the museum said, and it wasn’t immediately clear how the fire began. Roberto Robadey, a spokesman for the fire department, said 80 firefighters were battling the blaze and that by midnight local time it was “just about under control” and should be out within a few hours. President Michel Temer called it “a sad day for all Brazilians.” The most volatile candidate for the midterms: Trump WASHINGTON — Heading into the mid- term elections, the most volatile candidate this year isn’t on the ballot. But President Donald Trump still loves to take his freewheeling political stylings on the road on behalf of his fellow Republicans and he’s raring to go for the sprint to Nov. 6. His eagerness to campaign for candidates — and protect his political flank — has led Republican officials and Trump’s political team to devise a strategy for managing the president’s time. It’s designed to keep him in places where he can be helpful. They’re also determined to try to manage his unpredictability so the party’s strongest asset in turning out core GOP voters doesn’t end up doing damage instead. There’s a constant effort to keep him on best behavior. Trump sees mixing trade, foreign policy as good politics WASHINGTON — When President Don- ald Trump pulled the plug on an upcoming trip to North Korea by his secretary of state, he pointed a finger of blame at China and the global superpower’s trade practices. In his recent trade breakthrough with Mex- ico, Trump praised the country’s outgoing president for his help on border security and agriculture. Both developments offered fresh evidence of how Trump has made trade policy the con- nective tissue that ties together different ele- ments of his “America First” foreign policy and syncs up them with his political strategy Thousands expected to German concert against far right Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Nathan Burke/Navy Navy body bearers move the casket of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., from his proces- sional hearse into the Naval Academy Chapel on Sunday. Family, friends say final goodbye to Sen. McCain ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Sen. John McCain’s final journey ended on a grassy hill at the U.S. Naval Academy within view of the Severn River and earshot of midshipmen present and future, and alongside a lifelong friend. A horse-drawn caisson carrying the senator’s casket led a procession of mourners from the academy’s chapel to its cemetery Sunday following a private service. The senator’s widow, Cindy, and his children were among those who walked behind the caisson. Joining them were family and friends as well as members of McCain’s Class of 1958 and military leaders. The U.S. Navy band played marches along the way and several hundred Naval Academy midshipmen lined the path. A flyover of military aircraft in “missing man” formation honored the Navy pilot who was shot down over Vietnam and held more than five years as a prisoner of war. After the American flag was removed from the casket, a grieving Cindy McCain pressed her check to its surface and McCain sons Jimmy and Jack shared a hug. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis presented flags to Cindy McCain and Roberta McCain, the senator’s 106-year-old mother. The burial was private as per the wishes of McCain, the Arizona Republican and 2008 pres- idential nominee died Aug. 25 from brain cancer at age 81. for the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s 2016 triumph was paved in part by his support among blue-collar voters in Mid- western manufacturing states that narrowly supported him over Democrat Hillary Clin- ton, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania. His aggressive trade tactics, epitomized by tariffs and standoffs with longtime economic partners and allies, are aimed at reversing what he has long viewed as unfair trade deals while maintaining support among largely white, working-class voters who have been hurt by the loss of manufacturing jobs.

That’s one of the key findings from a new UNHCR report about efforts to reach Europe. The report, titled “Des- perate Journeys,” said that even though the number of crossings and deaths has plunged compared to recent years, the voyage is more deadly in percentage terms for those who ven- ture across. It said that 2,276 people died last year while trying to cross, or one death for every 42 arrivals. This year, it’s 1,095 deaths, or one out of every 18 arrivals. In June alone, the proportion hit one death for every seven arrivals. On the Central Mediterranean route so far this year, there have been 10 separate inci- dents in which 50 or more people died — most after departing from Libya. Seven of those incidents have been since June alone, UNHCR said. SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A years in prison for illegal possession of offi- cial documents, a ruling met with interna- tional condemnation that will add to outrage over the military’s human rights abuses against Rohingya Muslims. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo had been report- ing on the brutal crackdown on the Rohingya when they were arrested and charged with vio- lating the colonial-era Official Secrets Act, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. They had pleaded not guilty, contending that they were framed by police. “Today is a sad day for Myanmar, Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and the press everywhere,” Stephen J. Adler, Reuters editor-in-chief, said in a state- ment. He said the charges were “designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press.” The case has drawn worldwide attention as an example of how democratic reforms in long-isolated Myanmar have stalled under the civilian government of Nobel Peace laureate CHEMNITZ, Germany — Thousands of people are expected to attend a concert in the eastern German city of Chemnitz against far- right protests. This evening’s performances, by some of Germany’s most popular bands, come in reaction to a week of sometimes violent rallies by far-right groups against migrants. The protests were triggered by the fatal stab- bing of a 35-year-old German man in Chem- nitz on Aug. 26, allegedly by two migrants from Iraq and Syria. The tension that has built up over the past week in Chemnitz reflects the growing polar- ization over Germany’s ongoing effort to come to terms with an influx of more than 1 mil- lion refugees and migrants to the country since 2015. The concert is being promoted under the #WeAreMore hashtag.
