Pope accepts US cardinal's resignation after sexual abuse claim 

Posted: 28 Jul 2018 08:14 AM PDT

Pope accepts US cardinal's resignation after sexual abuse claim One of America's most prominent Catholic cardinals has resigned after an allegation was made that he sexually abused a teenage boy almost 50 years ago.  Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, wrote to the Vatican offering his resignation on Friday, which was accepted by Pope Francis.  A statement from the Vatican issued on Saturday read: "Yesterday evening the Holy Father received the letter in which Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington (USA), presented his resignation as a member of the College of Cardinals.  "Pope Francis accepted his resignation from the cardinalate and has ordered his suspension from the exercise of any public ministry, together with the obligation to remain in a house yet to be indicated to him, for a life of prayer and penance until the accusations made against him are examined in a regular canonical trial." Mr McCarrick, 88, was ordained in 1958 and rose through the ranks in the Archdiocese of New York before being installed as archbishop of Washington in 2001, a post he held until 2006. Pope Francis recently criticised the "culture of abuse and cover-up" in the Catholic Church Credit: VINCENZO PINTO/AFP/Getty Images He is officially retired but continues to travel abroad regularly, speaking on issues such as human rights.  The allegation related to Mr McCarrick's time in New York. He was accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old who was being measured for a new cassock, according to The New York Times.  The claim was investigated for the New York archdiocese by a group of jurists, law enforcement experts, parents, psychologists, and religious figures. The group judged that the allegations were "credible and substantiated". Mr McCarrick was removed from public ministry on June 20.  Mr McCarrick said in a statement at the time that he was "shocked" by the report and maintained his innocence. He also said he had co-operated with the investigation.  "My sadness was deepened when I was informed that the allegations had been determined credible and substantiated," he said in the statement.  Mr McCarrick added: "While I have absolutely no recollection of this reported abuse, and believe in my innocence, I am sorry for the pain the person who brought the charges has gone through, as well as for the scandal such charges cause our people." At the time senior US church officials said they had received three allegations of McCarrick's sexual misconduct with adults decades ago, two of which resulted in settlements. A Catholic University canon law expert, Kurt Martens, noted that this was the first time an order of penance and prayer had been issued before a church trial could take place. Earlier this year Pope Francis publicly criticsed the "culture of abuse and cover-up" in the Catholic Church, saying it must "never again" be allowed to happen. 


Zimbabwe rivals promise victory in pitch for votes at final election rallies

Zimbabwe rivals promise victory in pitch for votes at final election ralliesBy MacDonald Dzirutwe HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his rival Nelson Chamisa held final election rallies on Saturday and both vowed to rebuild an economy shattered by Robert Mugabe's long rule. Monday's vote is the first since Mugabe was forced to step down in November after a de facto coup and, as such, is a major national test. The run-up to the presidential and parliamentary election has been peaceful compared to previous polls but there are reports of intimidation and coercion in rural constituencies, and state media is biased towards the ruling ZANU–PF party.

Indonesia earthquake: At least 10 dead as tourist island of Lombok shaken by 6.4-magnitude tremor

Indonesia earthquake: At least 10 dead as tourist island of Lombok shaken by 6.4-magnitude tremorA powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the popular Indonesian tourist destination Lombok on Sunday, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more, officials said. The strong tremor, which sent people running in panic from homes and hotels in the early morning, was followed by two strong secondary quakes and more than 60 aftershocks. "The earthquake killed at least 10 people, some 40 people are injured and dozens of houses were damaged," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency. "We estimate the number will keep rising because we are not done collecting data," Nugroho said. A 30-year old Malaysian woman was among the victims, he said, adding those hurt were hit by debris. An Indonesian person scrambles over the collapsed ruins of a house as others look on following an earthquake in Lombok Credit: AFP The jolt was felt some 100 km (60 miles) away in the bustling holiday island of Bali, although there were no immediate reports of damage there. As authorities scrambled to assess the damage to buildings and infrastructure, popular trekking trails on the remote Mount Rinjani were closed because of landslides, according to the disaster agency. "The earthquake was very strong... and everybody in my house panicked, we all ran outside," said Zulkifli, a resident of North Lombok, close to the epicentre. "All my neighbours also ran outside and the electricity was suddenly cut off," Zulkifli, who goes by one name, told AFP. The epicentre of the shallow earthquake struck 50 km (30 miles) northeast of Lombok's main city Mataram, the United States Geological Survey said, far from the main tourist spots on the south and west of the island. It said two of the aftershocks measured more than 5-magnitude. "People in East Lombok and Mataram felt the strong quake for 10 seconds, residents were panicking and running outside of their homes," Nugroho said earlier, adding people had run for open spaces like football fields. No tsunami alert was issued, according to Indonesia's geophysics and meteorology agency. At the holiday island's hotels, tourists raced outside as the quake struck soon after dawn. At the Katamaran Hotel & Resort in Senggigi beach, some 30 guests gathered in the hotel lobby for around half an hour before venturing back to their rooms.

Indonesia, an archipelago of thousands of islands, sits on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a seismic activity hotspot. It is frequently hit by quakes, most of them harmless. However, the region remains acutely alert to tremors that might trigger tsunamis. In 2004, a tsunami triggered by a magnitude 9.3 undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, in western Indonesia, killed 220,000 people in countries around the Indian Ocean, including 168,000 in Indonesia.

Hun Sen: Cambodia's shape-shifting strongman leaderCambodian leader Hun Sen has outlasted the murderous Khmer Rouge, sidelined the monarchy and crushed his opponents in a 33-year rule defined by patronage, political agility and repression and set to be prolonged by Sunday's election. Hun Sen is part of a small coterie of world leaders to hold power for three decades, adapting to the shifting political landscape in the poor Southeast Asian country since the Cold War. In his final campaign speech days before the poll, Hun Sen was in typically bombastic form, bragging about the legal action to "eliminate traitors who attempted to topple the government".

The 2014 midterm elections hold the existing title as the most expensive, when candidates spent a collective $3.8bn in an effort to gain votes.

California fire 'tornado' kills two firefighters, thousands fleeBy Alexandria Sage REDDING, Calif.

New dolphin-whale hybrid sea creature is the spawn of an unholy union

Posted: 28 Jul 2018 02:52 PM PDT

New dolphin-whale hybrid sea creature is the spawn of an unholy unionWhile surveying whales and dolphins off the Hawaiian Islands, scientists spotted a creature they've never seen before: a peculiar hybrid between a dolphin and a small whale.  In 2017, before future naval officers trained on submarines in the waters around Kauai — a place called the Pacific Missile Range Facility — the U.S. Navy hired marine researchers from the Cascadia Research Collective to study the native animals in these seas. After encountering a large pod of melon-headed whales, the researchers tagged two of them, to see where they might go.  It was then that the researchers noticed something curious about one of the creatures. It wasn't quite a melon-headed whale. Nor was it exactly a rough-toothed dolphin, which are common to the area.  They collected some tissue from the animal, and after returning to shore and performing genetic testing, discovered it wasn't either species, but both. SEE ALSO: Iceland gets away with killing dozens of huge, endangered whales. Here's why. Melon-headed whales swimming in tropical waters (not hybrids).Image: NoaaThe hybrid was especially rare because of its melon-headed genes: The toothed-whales are rarely seen in these Hawaiian waters, the researchers wrote. Both species belong to the Delphinidae (oceanic dolphin) family, but the report notes that cross-species unions between them are unusual: It's only the third recorded example in the Delphinidae family, and the first between these two species. The hybrid, however strange, certainly wasn't treated as an outcast. The marine scientists tagged the hybrid with satellite tracking GPS, along with a companion, to see where they might go. And it appears they stayed together, travelling some 475 miles over eight days, and diving thousands of feet beneath the surface. WATCH: Ever wonder how the universe might end?

Protesters chant anti-Putin slogans at Moscow rally against retirement age planBy Andrey Ostroukh MOSCOW (Reuters) - Thousands protested in central Moscow on Sunday against a proposed increase to the retirement age and the crowd chanted slogans critical of President Vladimir Putin whose approval ratings have been dented by the bill. The rally organized by the opposition Libertarian Party chanted "Putin is a thief" and "away with the tsar," slogans common at anti-Putin and anti-government protests. The retirement age proposal is politically sensitive for Putin, who was re-elected in March, because it has prompted a series of protests across Russia since it was announced on June 14, the day Russia played the first match of its soccer World Cup.
