Violence abates in Vietnam as U.S. warns China for 'provocation'

Posted: 16 May 2014 06:55 AM PDT

Chinese nationals cross to Cambodia from Vietnam at the Bavet international checkpoint in Svay Rieng provinceBy Nguyen Phuong Linh and Matt Spetalnick HANOI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Anti-China violence subsided in Vietnam on Friday after the prime minister called for calm, but the United States said China's "provocative" actions in maritime disputes were dangerous and had to stop. Thousands of people attacked businesses and factories in Vietnam's industrial parks earlier in the week, targeting Chinese workers and Chinese-owned businesses after Beijing parked an oil rig in a part of the South China Sea claimed by Hanoi. The riots risk derailing a major driver of the country's economic growth - industrial parks account for more than 30 percent of Vietnam's exports and have attracted around $110 billion in foreign direct investment.

Paris summit to try to rally region against Nigeria's Boko Haram

Posted: 16 May 2014 05:44 AM PDT

By John Irish and Bate Felix PARIS/ABUJA (Reuters) - West African leaders meet in Paris on Saturday to try to improve cooperation in their fight against the Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls and threatens to destabilize the wider region. Outrage over the kidnapping has already prompted Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, criticized at home for his government's slow response, to accept U.S., British and French intelligence help in the hunt for the girls. Last week he asked France, itself a target of Islamist militants for its military intervention against Islamist rebels in Mali, to arrange a summit in Paris with Nigeria's neighbors Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin, and Western officials. French diplomats ruled out any Western military operation but said they expected a regional plan to take shape for countering Boko Haram, which has killed more than 3,000 people in a five-year campaign to establish an Islamic state in mostly Muslim northeast Nigeria.

Firefighters battle raging San Diego wildfires

Posted: 16 May 2014 10:24 AM PDT

By Marty Graham SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Several thousand suburban San Diego residents forced to flee a wildfire threatening their towns were allowed to return home early on Friday as firefighters battled for a third day against a swarm of blazes burning in and around California's second-largest city. By morning, fire crews managed to establish containment lines around 10 percent of the fiercest of the blazes, the so-called Cocos fire, which has charred more than 3,000 acres of tinder-dry brush since it erupted on Wednesday near the San Diego County communities of San Marcos and Escondido, fire officials said. A U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman speaking for the region's fire command said crews had gained "a pretty good handle" on eight other blazes around San Diego County that had forced as many as 125,000 people from their homes during the week. Evacuation orders were lifted early Friday for some 4,600 people living in two San Marcos-area neighborhoods but remained in effect for the bulk of homes threatened by the Cocos fire, county emergency management and fire officials said.

Skull illuminates origins of first Americans

In this June 2013 photo provided by National Geographic, diver Susan Bird, working at the bottom of Hoyo Negro, a large dome-shaped underwater cave in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, brushes a human skull found at the site while her team members take detailed photographs. Thousands of years ago, a teenage girl fell into this deep hole and died. Now, her skeleton and her DNA are helping scientists study the origins of the first Americans. An analysis of her remains was released Thursday, May 15, 2014 by the journal Science. Her DNA links her to an ancient land bridge connecting Asia and North America, and suggests she shares ancestors with the modern native peoples of the Americas.
