Tens of thousands of people have paid their last respects to former iraqi president and kurdish leader. It was laid to rest in his hometown of died on tuesday in one champion herself accepted the president in two thousand and three. Prompting tests from. The Central Government<\/a>. Without him on his death comes a week ultravox kurdish region voted in favor of all the. Prime minister has rejected the referendum and called on Kurdish Peshmerga<\/a> forces to work with his troops to fight. The reports from. The daily grind. Military tactics against elusive enemies under the baking sun this Training Session<\/a> is about detecting suspects and suspicious vehicles. Make sure no one is wearing a suicide vest and the car is not says the trainer a threat to soldiers here know all too well many of them were children at the time when just going to the market in this part of iraq near the border with syria could be a deadly trap there all sunni muslim arabs proudly serving under the kurdish banner. We saw what the kurds did and what the government the kurdish areas are safe there is no security in places like baghdad we prefer to be with them and i. There is a sense of newfound purpose and identity among the soldiers here ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein<\/a> in two thousand and three this area was taken by various armed groups including and i and the tribes here frustrated by the lack of support from the Central Government<\/a> in baghdad had only one choice left just seek protection from the kurds. Really man i career soldier still remembers when it was too dangerous for anyone in uniform to be up the streets he survive several attempts. I said yes to the referendum and yes to independence i used to say my countrys iraq united. But after the Central Government<\/a> ignored us and let iceland areas i changed my mind. The tribal leaders tried to kurdish president Masoud Barzani<\/a> for help now they fully backed the referendum for secession and. Joining the kurds doesnt mean we forego all arab roots the kurds who represent the real. Sectarian with baghdad we are less than nothing not even second class citizens. This border area was controlled by the Iraqi Government<\/a> in baghdad up until two thousand and fourteen when the kurds ever arrived. Iraqs Prime Minister<\/a> threatening to retake control of similar areas but increasing numbers of sudanese are calling for further disapprobation. There is no other choice but the division of iraq each live in the area. Unity is an illusion we told the arab countries there is no more iraq this will put an end to sectarianism and we are aiming for a sunni autonomy. The kurdish referendum other minorities were never found their place in the iraq after Saddam Hussein<\/a>. To failures of the baghdad government to be inclusive its difficult to see how the iraqi flag will be raised here once again. Hundreds of people have. Free and Fair Elections<\/a> and. Opposition leaders accuse the ruling party of tampering with. Elections next year the. President. Has. Great. Now millions of women in the u. S. May no longer have access to Birth Control<\/a> through their Health Insurance<\/a> on the new roles brought on by president on trump any company claiming to be morally opposed to contraception canal have the benefit removed from the employees cava its one of a number of for the just freedoms trump promised during his Election Campaign<\/a> Don Estabrook<\/a> reports from washington d. C. Its a move that could impact millions of american women the Trump Administration<\/a> is rolling back on Obamacare Mandate<\/a> requiring Insurance Coverage<\/a> for contraception the white house said Effective Immediately<\/a> a new rule allows employers to refuse contraception coverage based on religious or moral reasons this is a president who supports the First Amendment<\/a> supports the freedom of religion i dont understand why that should be an issue the American Civil Liberties<\/a> union was quick to respond it filed a suit in San Francisco<\/a> saying the rule violates the separation of church and state and discriminates against women but while the courts may exempt some employers from providing contraceptive coverage their workers might still get it anyway really they put a duty on the government to step up to the plate to provide a way for. The people who potentially stand to lose and then to get that coverage in another gesture to the religious right attorney general Jeff Sessions<\/a> issued a number of broad guidelines aimed at protecting religious freedom one says religious organizations should be able to hire workers whose religious beliefs are consistent with theirs critics say that could allow some employers to discriminate against the l g b t community and others but for President Trump<\/a> the guidelines are a reaffirmation of the commitment he made to evangelical voters who swept him into office and who he continues to court free speech does not end at the steps of a cathedral or a synagogue or any other house of worship we are giving our churches their voices back we are giving them back in the highest form. With this executive order we also make clear that the federal government will never ever penalize any person for their protests religious beliefs but these moves could set the administration up for another long battle in federal court diana zero washington right to a tall order for south Koreas Capital<\/a> now sells us that he dominated by skyscrapers built following the korean war but now theres a push to preserve some of its old homes reports from seoul in this bustling metropolis in the shadow of skyscrapers these houses known as hummocks are a slice of days gone by traditionally made from wood with tiled roofs theyre designed to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter but as south korea modernized many moved out preferring the convenience of new apartment buildings.
