SPAIN
Climate approach revised
With the U.S. Congress still struggling to agree on sharp cuts in greenhouse gases or how to fund them, European officials said Thursday they were now striving for a political agreement instead of a new treaty to allow the United States and other rich nations to make commitments that are not legally binding. The revised thinking was an implicit admission of defeat for a treaty that had been due to be completed in December at a 192-nation conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
IRAQ
No agreement on voting
Iraqi lawmakers failed Thursday to agree on an election law for the country's January vote, raising concerns the balloting may be delayed and in turn push back a U.S. troop withdrawal. Lawmakers said they would meet again Saturday. One said it would not be a big problem to delay the January election by a few days.
YEMEN
Saudi air force deployed
Saudi Arabia sent fighter jets and artillery bombardments across the border into northern Yemen Thursday in a military incursion apparently aimed at helping its troubled southern neighbor control an escalating Shiite rebellion, Arab diplomats and the rebels said. The Saudis — owners of a sophisticated air force they rarely use — have been increasingly worried that instability in Yemen could spill over to their country, the world's largest oil exporter. The offensive came two days after the killing of a Saudi soldier, blamed on the rebels.
NICARAGUA
Hurricane Ida rips homes
Hurricane Ida ripped into Nicaragua's Atlantic coast Thursday, destroying homes, damaging schools and downing bridges before losing steam and becoming a tropical storm. Ida, clocking 75 mph winds, struck land around sunrise in Tasbapauni, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
PUERTO RICO
Gentler summer for coral
Lower-than-feared sea temperatures this summer gave a break to fragile coral reefs across the Caribbean and the central Gulf of Mexico that were damaged in recent years, scientists said Thursday. Unusually warm water in recent years has caused the animals that make up coral to expel the colorful algae they live with, creating a bleached color. If the problem persists, the coral itself dies — killing the environment where many fish and other marine organisms live.
