Newsday

Available for over a year

China has warned the United States that it will retaliate, after President Donald Trump signed into law a bill in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. We mark the death of Raed Fares, one year ago. Throughout the war in Syria he not only defied both Islamist extremists and Assad's forces, but actively mocked them on his radio station. Officials in Australia’s largest city, Sydney, have announced that controversial laws blamed for ruining nightlife are to be scrapped.
