This woman - who asked not to be identified -- says her sister's husband started sexually abusing her when she was nine years old.  She eventually told her parents, but they did nothing.

Building Relationships in LA Brings Down Crime Rate
Dec 21st 2012, 02:04

Despite violent events like last week's school shootings in Connecticut, the crime rate in the United States has generally been falling, and serious crimes like murder and rape have been declining.  In Los Angeles, better relationships between the police and community are making neighborhoods safer.  A quiet afternoon is interrupted with the sound of helicopters as dozens of officers from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol capture a suspect in ...

Republicans Abruptly Put Off Key Tax Vote in US House
Dec 21st 2012, 02:20

Republican U.S. House Speaker John Boehner has suffered a major setback in his showdown over taxes and spending with President Barack Obama.  The speaker unexpectedly failed to get the votes he needed from his own Republican lawmakers Thursday to hold a vote on a tax bill he had proposed as an alternative to the tax and spending bill put forward by President Obama. Thursday's developments have thrown efforts to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" even more into chaos. There ...

A gun violence task force, created by President Barack Obama and headed by Vice President Joe Biden, held its first meeting Thursday to begin to seek solutions to gun violence in the wake of the massacre of children and adults at an elementary school in Connecticut.

Turkish Trade Ties With Iraqi Kurds Anger Baghdad
Dec 21st 2012, 02:10

Despite warnings from both the United States and Iraq, Turkish companies, backed by the government, are forging ahead with direct energy agreements with Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region. The deepening trade ties come as relations remain strained between Ankara and Baghdad. In the past five years, trade relations between Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan have flourished. Analysts say 2013 could see the Iraqi Kurdish region become Turkey's second largest trading partner. The partners are a good ...

Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives late Thursday abruptly put off a vote on Speaker John Boehner's plan allowing tax rates to rise for households earning $1 million and up. The move complicates efforts by Congress and the White House to avoid a year-end crisis that threatens to plunge the U.S. economy into recession. In a brief statement, Boehner said he "did not have sufficient [party] support" to pass the measure.  Earlier in the day, he had ...

As Newtown Mourns, Question of 'Why' Lingers
Dec 20th 2012, 23:07

As residents of Newtown, Connecticut, bury their dead — six teachers and 20 children killed by a gunman who shot his way into a grade-school classroom — much of the world has been watching.   "People from Japan, Cairo, Egypt, France, Poland... everybody even from all over the United States has been here," says firefighter Anthony Carpenter, standing outside Sandy Hook Elementary School.   But despite the global outpouring of emotion, one question remains universally ...

China's authoritarian leaders show few signs this year that they are ready for political activism.  But there are indications they are increasingly aware and willing to listen to public demands when it comes to the environment. As protests gain in frequency and boldness in China, the country is experiencing its own "Not in my Backyard" revolution.  Protests such as this one that occurred last December in the southern city of Haimen are not uncommon. Haimen residents took to ...
