Women Face Unique Challenges in US Politicsby webdesk@voanews.com (Elizabeth Lee)
Thursday April 30th, 2015 at 6:34 PM

Voice Of America

The number of women in the U.S. Congress has reached a record high. Women make up 20 percent of the House of Representatives and Senate, but the number is not reflective of the U.S. population, which is 50 percent women. At the Milken Institute Global Conference held in Los Angeles this week, some political insiders explained why a gender gap in U.S. politics exists. The U.S. Congress is a place of power that is still dominated by men. “Women only got the right to...

Social Media Plays Mixed Role in Baltimore Unrestby webdesk@voanews.com (Matthew Hilburn)
Thursday April 30th, 2015 at 6:34 PM

Voice Of America

The unrest in Baltimore once again demonstrated that social media is a double-edged sword, serving as a fast medium to spread both helpful information and potentially destructive misinformation, experts say. From calls to violence to acts of kindness, platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook lit up with real time reports from Baltimore’s enraged streets. “Social media makes everything messy,” said Janet Johnson, a social media researcher at the University of Texas in Dallas,...

Jeb Bush backs statehood and softened stance on immigration
Puerto Rico has no votes in general election but can sway primary vote

For a small Caribbean island barely half the size of Connecticut, Puerto Rico seems to be assuming outsized importance in the race for the White House.

A flying visit this week from the former Florida governor Jeb Bush – who appears ever closer to announcing his intention to seek the Republican presidential nomination – placed the US territory and its electorate of 2.4 million at the heart of his push to win back Hispanic voters.

Liberia Burials Key in Ebola Fightby webdesk@voanews.com (Joe DeCapua)
Thursday April 30th, 2015 at 6:24 PM

Voice Of America

The World Health Organization is set to declare Liberia Ebola free. It will make that declaration on May 9th if no new cases are reported. In a sign of how the situation has improved, the Liberian Red Cross has handed back responsibility for safe burials to the Ministry of Health. The Red Cross became the lead agency – for what it calls – safe and dignified burials – in Montserrado County in July of last year. The county includes the capital Monrovia. The agency assumed responsibility...

Question Time: Cameron, Miliband and Clegg interviews - liveby Andrew Sparrow
Thursday April 30th, 2015 at 6:24 PM

Network Front | The Guardian

Rolling coverage of the Question Time interviews with David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, with comment and analysis and the results of our snap poll of who won.

All today’s earlier general election events, on our Election live 2015 blog

6.37pm BST

A week tonight we’ll be hours away from the election result. And, with the polls still suggesting that neither of the two main parties has achieved a breakthrough yet and that we’re heading for a hung parliament where David Cameron and Ed Miliband could both struggle to win a majority, tonight is the last big set-piece TV event of the campaign.

It is the Question Time Election Leaders Special. We are not going to see Cameron, Miliband and Nick Clegg debate head to head, but they will all be grilled by a Question Time audience, with David Dimbleby chairing and, hopefully, asking the incisive, deadly follow-up questions that make him such a good chair for events like this.

The BBC has defended how it chose the audience for the leaders’ debate on Question Time, after its selection process was accused of both leftwing and pro-coalition bias.

The audience for BBC1’s Question Time Election Leaders Special on Thursday, which will feature David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, will be made up of 25% of those who say they will vote Tory, 25% Labour supporters, 25% Liberal Democrat supporters, 15% who favour “other parties” and 10% who say they are undecided.

Miliband has yet to articulate a role for Britain in the worldby Natalie Nougayrède
Thursday April 30th, 2015 at 6:24 PM

Network Front | The Guardian

The Labour leader has at least signalled he wants to keep Britain in Europe. But that is not enough

Picture a country heading for elections in the midst of an existential debate about its role in the world; a country run by a rightwing government challenged by a leftwing party and insurgent political forces lurking in the background. If you’re thinking Britain, you’re right. But in a way, this was also France in 2012. There was much talk then of changing course with a “progressive” foreign policy anchored in “internationalism”. François Hollande, the socialist candidate, vowed to wind down France’s military engagement in Afghanistan as a way of correcting Nicolas Sarkozy’s perceived kneejerk pro-Americanism.

But in the end, once in office, Hollande’s administration found it couldn’t get ahead on many international questions, from the Sahel to Syria, without having the US on its side. And it also found that a troubling impediment to efficient foreign policy strategy was not US imperialist hubris, but the perception that Americans were somehow disengaging from the world.

Beating the Labour brow over Iraq makes sense, but in itself isn’t a policy
