Chapter 2: What is President Trump's stance on the Iran war?
President Trump is defending the lack of progress at ending the war with Iran. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, he projected patience in an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC's Meet the Press.
Trump insisted going to war with Iran didn't break his anti-war campaign promises because he said this isn't a forever war. I'm moving very fast. I'm into three months. You know, Vietnam lasted 19 years. I'm into my third month. It has actually entered its fourth month. Trump said securing a peace deal with Iran could take a long time. They're proud.
There are things they never thought they'd be doing that they're going to have to do. They've got no choice. And it takes a little while. You're talking about 47 years of getting away with whatever they wanted. I mean, this should have been done long ago. One major issue is what will happen with Iran's nuclear materials. Tamara Keith, NPR News.
Peruvians are voting today in what polls show will be a tight race, pitting two politically opposite candidates. The conservative daughter of a former authoritarian leader is running for a fourth time to become president. She faces a leftist lawmaker that has pledged to help Peru's poor, but faces fears he's too soft on crime. NPR's Carrie Khan reports.
While polls have shown conservative Keiko Fujimori with a slight lead over leftist Roberto Sanchez, the two are in a statistical tie. In downtown Lima, 40-year-old Luis Alberto Quesada Gallego says Fujimori has the most experience. Keiko is following in her father's footsteps and will do the right thing, he says. Fujimori says she'll apply her father's toughness to fight Peru's rising crime.
Former President Alberto Fujimori spent the last years of his life in jail for human rights abuses. Leftist Sanchez blames Fujimori and her party for Peru's chaotic politics. which has seen at least 10 presidents get elected, removed, and some jailed in the past decade. Kerry Kahn, NPR News.
Kosovo held another parliamentary election today, the third in 18 months. It has had no function in government for much of the past year. Preliminary results are expected later today. Health officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo say community engagement is helping to slow the spread of the Ebola outbreak, as confirmed cases approach 500. The BBC's Richard Kogoye reports.
Lack of awareness was the biggest challenge when the outbreak was first declared. Responders faced distrust and even hostility. To change that, the government and partners brought traditional healers on board, persuading them to work with health teams. Local radio, a trusted source, has been airing programmes to counter rumours and even wean over sceptical communities.
Officials say the approach is improving prevention and surveillance.
