The base is home to the peacekeeping mission's rapid intervention force, which has a rare mandate to go on the offensive, according to Radio Okapi, which is backed by the U.N. mission. The radio...

(Photo: Xavier Bonilla/NurPhoto via Getty Images) BARCELONA — Here in Spain’s second-largest city, long a magnet for American tourists, life on the surface appears as festive as ever, from the beach terraces laden with pitchers of sangria to the crowds browsing the kiosks on the pedestrian median of La Rambla, which almost immediately returned to normal after last month’s terror attack. But the tension brewing just below the surface of Catalonia, the wealthy northeast region of 7.5 million of which Barcelona is capital, burst into the open Wednesday morning with a series of raids by national police on the regional ministry of finance, leading to at least a dozen arrests of senior officials, followed by hours of flag-waving marches and demonstrations. At issue is a wave of Catalan nationalism culminating in a referendum on secession, scheduled for Oct. 1. The regional g...

Chiellini: Juventus will try again for the Champions League

Giorgio Chiellini believes Italy can have their say in Spain in September and assures Juventus “will try again next year” for the Champions League. The Azzurri beat Liechtenstein 5-0 this evening to stay top of their World Cup qualifying group alongside Spain, albeit behind on goal difference. That’s because the Spaniards won 2-1 away to Macedonia this evening. “We didn’t really expect Macedonia to take points off Spain, even if anything is possible in football,” Chiellini told Rai Sport. “The important thing is that we did our job and won the game. In the second half we were sharper and more concentrated. We’ve got to thank the fans at the Dacia Arena, as I didn’t expect such a wonderful atmosphere. It was a great evening.” The World Cup qualifying spot – avoiding the play-offs – will therefore be decided in Madrid on September 2. “We’ve got what it takes and just need to stay calm. We’ll need a strong performance using our strengths and characteristics. Spain will have ...

What would the Paris climate deal look like without the United States?

It was described by former US President Barack Obama as "a turning point for our planet." A landmark deal, ratified by 147 parties or countries, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change was aimed at cutting emissions and keeping global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. But the future of American involvement in the 2015 accord now hangs in the balance, as US President Donald Trump weighs up whether to withdraw the United States from the global pact. A decision to drop out would put the US at odds with nearly every other nation on Earth. The EU and China have reportedly signed an agreement to counteract any action by the US which might undermine the Paris agreement. When asked about the US' possible move Thursday, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs described climate change as a global challenge that no one country can ignore. The departure of the US would make it significantly hard...
