WORLD IN BRIEF
ment today was improper and should not
have been posted.”
Stone said the photo was “misinterpreted”
and that it was “a random photo taken from
the Internet.” He dismissed any suggestion
that he was trying to threaten the judge as
“categorically false.”
The political operative and self-described
dirty trickster has pleaded not guilty to
charges he lied to Congress, engaged in wit-
ness tampering and obstructed a congressio-
nal investigation into possible coordination
between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presiden-
tial campaign.

Sanders says he’s running
for president in 2020
WASHINGTON — Vermont Sen. Ber-
nie Sanders, whose insurgent 2016 presiden-
tial campaign reshaped Democratic politics,
announced today that he is running for pres-
ident in 2020.
“Our campaign is not only about defeat-
ing Donald Trump,” the 77-year-old self-de-
scribed democratic socialist said in an email
to supporters. “Our campaign is about trans-
forming our country and creating a govern-
ment based on the principles of economic,
social, racial and environmental justice.”
An enthusiastic progressive who
embraces proposals ranging from Medi-
care for All to free college tuition, Sanders
stunned the Democratic establishment in
2016 with his spirited challenge to Hillary
Clinton. While she ultimately became the
party’s nominee, his campaign helped lay
the groundwork for the leftward lurch that
has dominated Democratic politics in the
Trump era.
The question now for Sanders is whether
he can stand out in a crowded fi eld of Dem-
ocratic presidential candidates who also
embrace many of his policy ideas and are
newer to the national political stage. That’s
far different from 2016, when he was Clin-
ton’s lone progressive adversary.
Still, there is no question that Sanders
will be a formidable contender for the Dem-
ocratic nomination. He won more than 13
million votes in 2016 and dozens of prima-
ries and caucuses. He opens his campaign
with a nationwide organization and a proven
small-dollar fundraising effort.
Islamic State extremists
still holding Syrian civilians
AL-OMAR OIL FIELD BASE, Syria —
A spokesman for a U.S.-backed Syrian force
fi ghting the Islamic State said today a mili-
tary operation aimed at ousting the extrem-
ists from their last remaining area in east-
ern Syria will commence after separating or
evacuating civilians holed up with them.
Mustafa Bali said if the remaining mili-
tants — estimated to be around 300 — sur-
rendered, there would be no need for a fi ght.
The comments came as a Kurdish offi -
cial and a Syria war monitor said that doz-
ens of trucks arrived at the outskirts of the
tiny enclave held by IS to bring out civil-
ians remaining inside, believed to be in the
hundreds.
Michel Bachelet, the U.N.’s human rights
chief, said she is concerned about the condi-
tion of the some 200 families trapped in the
last remaining area held by IS. The extrem-
ists are actively preventing civilians, includ-
ing women and children, from leaving the
area near the border with Iraq.

Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks at a news conference last month on Capitol Hill in Washington.
The International Rescue Committee
said Monday that more than 60 people have
died in recent weeks after making their way
out of the tiny area controlled by IS, most
of them from exhaustion and malnutrition.
They either died along the way or soon after
arriving at a massive camp in northern Syria
that is hosting those fl eeing and evacuating
the area in eastern Deir el-Zour province.
Report: White House pushed
Saudi nuclear power plan
WASHINGTON — Senior White House
offi cials pushed a project to share nuclear
power technology with Saudi Arabia despite
the objections of ethics and national secu-
rity offi cials, according to a new congressio-
nal report citing whistleblowers within the
administration.
Lawmakers from both parties have
expressed concerns that Saudi Arabia could
develop nuclear weapons if the U.S. tech-
nology were transferred without proper
safeguards.
The Democratic-led House oversight
committee opened an investigation today
into the claims by several unnamed whis-
tleblowers who said they witnessed “abnor-
mal acts” in the White House regarding the
proposal to build dozens of nuclear reactors
across the Middle Eastern kingdom.
The report raises concerns about whether
some in a White House marked by “chaos,
dysfunction, and backbiting” sought to cir-
cumvent established national security proce-
dures regarding nuclear power technology. It
also comes as Trump son-in-law and senior
adviser Jared Kushner is developing a Mid-
dle East peace plan that could include eco-
nomic proposals for Saudi Arabia.
According to the report, the effort was
pushed by former national security adviser
Michael Flynn, who was fi red in early 2017.
NSC and ethics offi cials repeatedly warned
that the actions of Flynn and one of his
senior aides could run afoul of federal con-
fl icts of interest law and statutes governing
the transfer of nuclear technology to foreign
powers.
Judge orders Stone to
court over Instagram post
WASHINGTON — A federal judge today
ordered Roger Stone to appear in court to
consider whether to revoke his bail after the
longtime Donald Trump confi dant posted a
photo on Instagram of the judge with what
appeared to be crosshairs of a gun.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson
said Stone must show for a hearing Thurs-
day afternoon and prove why she shouldn’t
modify or revoke his bail or implement a full
gag order in his case.
On Monday, Stone posted a photo of
Jackson with what appeared to be crosshairs
near her head. Later in the day, Stone and
his attorneys fi led a notice with the court that
they recognized the “photograph and com-
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Nearly a
year to the day after West Virginia teach-
ers went on a strike that launched a national
“Red4Ed” movement, they’re doing it again.
Teachers and school support workers
lined streets outside schools with picket
signs and packed the state Capitol for the
fi rst day of a walkout today over compli-
cated education legislation that they view as
lacking their input and as retaliation for last
year’s strike.
How long this one goes on will be a day-
to-day decision, leaders of three unions for
teachers and school service workers said at a
news conference Monday.
The 2018 walkout was followed by
strikes in Kentucky, Oklahoma, Arizona,
Washington state, and more recently, Los
Angeles and Denver. Teachers in Oakland,
California, have authorized a strike starting
Thursday.
Nearly all of West Virginia’s 55 counties
called off public school classes today.
3 children among
4 found dead after west
Michigan shooting
SOLON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Three
children and a woman were found dead of
apparent gunshot wounds at a home in west-
ern Michigan.
Kent County Sheriff Michelle LaJoye-
Young says authorities responded Monday
to a property near Cedar Springs, a commu-
nity about 30 miles north of Grand Rapids.
Someone discovered the bodies and called
911.
The three children were elementary
school-aged and younger, LaJoye-Young
said. Authorities are still confi rming the vic-
tims’ identities.
LaJoye-Young called the scene “a hor-
rifi c thing to be called to” and said “my heart
goes out to the families involved here and
the community.”
Authorities don’t believe there is a
shooter at large.
