NewsdayAvailable for over a year
The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore "brownface" at a private school gala nearly two decades ago, a photo obtained by Time Magazine shows; the Philippines president, Rodrigo Duterte, says more than a thousand ex-prisoners prematurely freed under a controversial law in the Philippines will be captured "dead or alive" if they do not surrender before a Thursday deadline; and research suggests that more than a third of adults who normally keep an eye on the news in the UK are now actively avoiding it because of Brexit.
