|
 By Parisa Hafezi ANKARA (Reuters) - Iranians will shape the future of the Islamic republic for at least a decade when hardline and moderate candidates battle next week in elections for parliament and the body which will choose the country's next supreme leader. Allies of pragmatist President Hassan Rouhani, buoyed by Iran's nuclear deal, hope to gain influence, but moves by hardliners to block moderate candidates and disillusion over Rouhani's stalled reforms leave them with an uphill task. The hardline Guardian Council, which vets candidates and laws, blocked thousands of mostly moderate hopefuls from standing in the Feb. 26 parliamentary election.

 By Jack Kim SEOUL (Reuters) - Seeking to push through a sweeping "anti-terrorism" law that has been blocked by opposition parties, South Korea's government cited on Thursday the heightened risk of North Korea instigating "terror attacks". The call from President Park Geun-hye's office for parliament to pass the new security bill follows a week of tough comments and action by her government in response to North Korea's test launch of a long-range rocket this month and its fourth nuclear test last month. The ongoing tension with the North is looming as an election issue ahead of parliamentary polls in April, when Park's Saenuri Party is expected to retain its majority.

 World athletics chief Sebastian Coe says the IAAF will not shirk from its duty to ban Kenya from the Olympics if the country is declared non-compliant by the World Anti-Doping Agency, British media reports said on Thursday. Athletics powerhouse Kenya, which topped the medals table at the 2015 world championships in Beijing, has had more than 40 athletes banned for doping in the past three years. A regional anti-doping official said last week Kenya faced a race against time to prove to WADA it was dealing with the issue or it could join Russia in being declared non-compliant.
