The APEC summit in Port Moresby broke up without an agreement and - for the first time - no joint communique from the 21 participating nations.  This was because of amid rising tensions between the US and China; Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said the "entire world is worried" about the bitter disagreements between the "two giants" on trade.  The US and its allies are trying to reassert their role as the predominant power in the Pacific region with development projects such spending millions of dollars on an ambitious effort to bring electricity to 70 percent of people in Papua New Guinea, or redeveloping the Manus Island Naval base.  China is letting smaller nations know that they now have their choice of benefactors by offering extremely favorable loan repayment plans to countries like Tonga in exchange for signing on to its China-centered trading network "One Belt, One Road".

France's President Emmanuel Macron says Europe has the responsibility "not to let the world slip into chaos", and called on Germany to join France in defending Europe from a tug of war between other powers, not speaking the names of the US and Russia.  Speaking before the German Bundestag for the annual day of mourning war victims, Mr. Macron called for a more integrated European Union with a joint Eurozone budget; and he reiterated his call for a European military force to decrease reliance on the US.  "There are too many powers that wish to thwart us, that interfere in our public debates, attack our liberal democracies and are trying to pit us against each other," Macron said with the agreement of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, "And in this global order, which we have to take very seriously, our strength - our true strength - lies in unity."

British PM Theresa May is cautioning rebel Tories that getting rid of her will not make the Brexit any easier.  In a radio interview, Ms. May also said she didn't know if the hardliners had reached their threshold of 48 letters to trigger a no-confidence vote.  But her former Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, accused her of caving in to European Union "bullying" and refused to take himself out of the running to replace her should that no-confidence measure come to fruition.

Human rights groups are demanding Canada end the coerced sterilization of indigenous women.  More and more women are joining a class-action lawsuit against government and medical professionals, seeking compensation for the violation of their rights.  The women say their fallopian tubes were tied, burned or cut in public hospitals when the women were unable to give sufficient consent:  "Ultimately, this is about women who are supposed to have the right to make decisions about their bodies, having that right taken away from them," said Amnesty International's Jacqueline Hansen.

Kenya is forbidding a medical NGO from offering any form of abortion services, even though the group "Marie Stopes" insists it operates within the law.  Authorities believe the group's adverts are promoting abortion services, which are banned in Kenya unless a mother's health is in danger.  Marie Stopes offers post-abortion counseling to women, and points out the ban hasn't stopped abortion at all, but rather moved it into unsafe back-alley settings that puts women's health at risk.
