Sanae Takaichi wins historic vote to become Japan's first female prime minister
TOKYO — Staunch conservative Sanae Takaichi was elected Japan’s first female prime minister by the country’s parliament on Tuesday, in a landmark moment for the historically patriarchal country where both politics and workplaces are dominated by older men.Takaichi steps into the role as Japan faces mounting economic woes and a fractured and deadlocked politics, and just days before US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit.The 64-year old Takaichi, who is a former heavy metal drummer and Kawasaki motorcycle enthusiast, grew up in Nara near Osaka.

Belize agrees to host migrants seeking asylum in US
WASHINGTON — The small Central American nation of Belize has signed an agreement with Washington to act as a "safe third country" for migrants as they seek asylum in the United States.Belize PM John Antonio Briceño said the deal — which must be approved by the Belize Senate — will mean that migrants deported from the US could apply for asylum instead of returning to their home countries.The US State Department called it "an important milestone in ending illegal immigration", and "shutting down abuse" of the US asylum system.The deal appears to be similar to one with Paraguay announced in August.This year Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras have also taken in people deported by the US.Human rights groups in the US and abroad have strongly criticised such deals, saying...

PARIS — Nicolas Sarkozy became the first former French president in living memory to be imprisoned as he began serving a five-year sentence in Paris’ La Santé prison on Tuesday for criminal conspiracy in an attempt to use Libyan money to finance his 2007 election campaign.The president of France between 2007 and 2012, Sarkozy will serve his sentence in a prison that has housed some of the most well-known prisoners since the 1800s.They include Captain Alfred Dreyfus, wrongly convicted of treason in a famous antisemitism case, and Venezuelan militant known as Carlos the Jackal, who carried out multiple terrorist attacks on French soil.In an unprecedented judgment last month, the Paris judge ruled that Sarkozy would start to serve prison time without waiting for his appeal to be heard,...

Appeals court allows Trump administration to deploy National Guard in Portland
PORTLAND, Oregon — A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Monday will allow the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops in Portland — an important legal victory in a showdown over presidential power that’s happening on multiple fronts.The ruling overturns one of two lower court decisions to block the deployment as the appeal process plays out, but because the second decision is still in force, the troops can’t immediately be deployed.The three-judge panel weighed in on a temporary restraining order issued by US District Judge Karin Immergut, who last week ruled to extend two temporary restraining orders barring the deployment of federal troops to Portland.In light of the appellate court’s ruling, the Trump administration is asking that Judge Immergut’s second...

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said over the summer that the “state ballroom” would occupy space housing the East Wing of the executive mansion, where first ladies have traditionally maintained offices.The project fulfills a 15-year ambition by the president to construct an event...
