| Mexico rescues 450 children from squalid refuge amid abuse fears | | Wednesday, July 16, 2014 3:04 AM | |
| | Mexico's government said on Tuesday it had rescued over 450 children from a vermin-infested refuge for abandoned boys and girls, some of whom it believes were sexually abused. The attorney general's office said a raid on the home known as "La Gran Familia" (The Big Family) took place in the western city of Zamora after at least 50 complaints were filed about its operators. The home, which was founded in 1947, was run by Rosa Verduzco who is now being questioned by authorities, government officials said in a news conference. According to a Facebook page of La Gran Familia, the refuge looks after children abandoned by troubled parents, and also provides schooling for the kids. |
| Turkey's Erdogan accuses Israel of "tyranny", likens MP to Hitler | |  By Jonny Hogg ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of "terrorising the region" with its bombardment of Gaza and likened an Israeli politician to Hitler in a broadside likely to further strain the fragile relations between the two countries. Israel on Tuesday resumed its assault on the Gaza Strip, six hours after an Egyptian-proposed ceasefire failed to halt cross-border rocket salvoes by Palestinian militants. "With utter disregard for international law, Israel continues to terrorise the region, and no country but us tells it to stop," Erdogan told members of his ruling AK Party at a speech in parliament on Tuesday. "No tyranny is everlasting, sooner or later every tyrant has to pay the price ... This tyranny will not remain unaccounted for," he added.

| UN chief urges countries to enforce sanctions on Islamic State | |  By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged countries to enforce an international arms embargo and economic sanctions on the Islamic State militant group in a bid to weaken the insurgency that has taken control of large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria. In a report to the U.N. Security Council on the world body's political mission in Iraq, obtained by Reuters on Tuesday, Ban described the rapidly deteriorating security situation fueled by the Sunni militants as "deeply worrisome." The Islamic State was previously called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS). "I strongly condemn the upsurge of violence at the hands of ISIS and its supporters and call on (U.N.) member states, including Iraq's neighbors, to come together and support Iraq in its fight against terrorism," Ban wrote.

| U.S. says return of Honduran women, children sends message in border crisis | |  By Steve Holland and Gabriel Stargardter WASHINGTON/TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The U.S. government's deportation on Monday of a group of Honduran women and children should be seen by Central America as a message that President Barack Obama is serious when he says illegal migrants will be sent home, the White House said. The charter flight from New Mexico to San Pedro Sula, the city with the highest murder rate in the world, transported 17 Honduran women, as well as 12 girls and nine boys aged between 18 months and 15 years. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the return of the Hondurans should be a clear signal to those thinking about crossing the border that "they're entitled to due process but they will not be welcome to this country with open arms." The return of the Hondurans was the most high-profile example of Obama's struggle to gain control of a chaotic border crisis that is overwhelming immigration resources and leading to scattered protests from people angry at the government for housing some border crossers in communities around the country.
