New York City—Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton rides the New York subway with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, left, during campaign stops on April 7. Clinton drew mockery online for having difficulties using a swipe card to get on the train, something critics said the self-proclaimed New Yorker should not have trouble with. The April 19 New York primary is proving to be crucial for Clinton; she has lost seven of the last eight primaries to Bernie Sanders, who was born in New York. Clinton still holds the lead in delegates, but a win for Sanders in New York would be a big blow to her campaign.…

Mogadishu, Somalia—Hassan Hanafi, a former journalist who became a media officer for the Al-Qaeda–affiliated militant group Al-Shabab, is tied to a wooden post before being executed by firing squad on April 11. Hanafi, who was extradited from Kenya last year at the request of the Somali government, was convicted of ordering the deaths of six journalists. During his trial, he admitted to killing one journalist himself. More than 25 journalists have been murdered in Somalia since 2007, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.…

London—A pig-shaped piñata of British Prime Minister David Cameron hangs over a group of demonstrators outside his official residence at 10 Downing Street against Cameron’s links to offshore finances on April 9. Thousands gathered, calling for Cameron to resign after the Panama Papers revealed his father had set up an offshore investment fund. After several days of dodging questions over whether he benefited, Cameron admitted he had held a stake in the fund. He published his tax records for the past six years and said he had done nothing wrong.…

THE BIBLE DOES NOT ELEVATE ONE SIN AS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OTHER. FROM WAILING that forbidding discrimination impedes their religious freedom to declaring the Bible their official state book, Christian politicians and their supporters—many of whom seem to know more about the Kardashians than their faith—have recently been engaged in some of the most embarrassing and anti-Christian behavior in years. The latest politicians to join the rogues’ parade of Bible-thumpers who know nothing about what the Bible actually says are from Mississippi. The hypocrites of the Hospitality State—joining their like-minded brethren from North Carolina—just passed a law allowing businesses and even some health care providers to refuse services to gay couples on the basis of religious beliefs. (Unlike other states that have passed or are considering such laws, Mississippi even includes…

“I TOOK ONE HANDFUL OF ASH TO MY WIFE AND SAID, 'THIS IS YOUR DAUGHTER.'” INSIDE THE Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan, Abdul Ghadir, 43, surveys the overturned bed frames, blackened by flames, and the caved-in ceiling and walls dark with soot. His feet crunch across a floor covered in glass shards and ash. “This,” he says, “is the grave of my daughter.” Amina, Ghadir’s 12-year-old girl, was killed in the early hours of October 3 last year, six days after the Taliban had captured Kunduz. In support of Afghan security forces trying to take back the city, a U.S. military AC-130 gunship repeatedly fired on the hospital. In total, 42 patients, staff and caregivers were killed, and dozens more wounded, in the hourlong attack. The U.S. has since…

“I COUNTED 34 EARTHQUAKES IN A SINGLE DAY LAST YEAR.” JACKIE DILL finds it nearly impossible to talk about her 1930s homestead without dissolving into tears. “We feel so helpless and hopeless,” says the 65-year-old, quietly sobbing with her husband, Jim, beside her. “I try to be a brave soul, but it rips my heart out. Last year was ungodly. I held my breath every day.” In Oklahoma, a stone or brick home might save you from a tornado. But it might kill you if there’s an earthquake—and the Dills, who live in the one-story stone-and-mortar farmhouse with their five dogs, have been overwhelmed with quakes. “Each year, it’s gotten worse,” Jackie says. “I counted 34 earthquakes in a single day last year. You know when it’s coming, because there’s a roar…
