Myanmar says it will refuse entry to a United Nations team probing allegations of killing, rape and torture by security forces against Rohingya Muslims.  "If they are going to send someone with regards to the fact-finding mission, then there's no reason for us to let them come," said Kyaw Zeya, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital, Naypyitaw.   The government led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi had already said it would not cooperate with a mission set up after a Human Rights Council resolution was adopted in March.

Carron called “Disarming Beauty” takes on the question of the Church's relevance amid modern society's most pressing challenges.

If passed, the measure would implement an increase in the accessibility of abortions from the ...
