| After decades of war, Colombia's FARC rebels debut political party Posted: 27 Aug 2017 05:28 PM PDT  By Nelson Bocanegra and Julia Symmes Cobb BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's leftist FARC rebel group is introducing its political party at a conference that began on Sunday, a major step in its transition into a civilian organization after more than 50 years of war and its first chance to announce policy to skeptical voters. The six-day meeting in Bogota of FARC members, who have handed in more than 8,000 weapons to the United Nations during their demobilization, is expected to conclude on Friday with a platform that the party will campaign on in elections next year. Under its 2016 peace deal with the government to end its part in a war that has killed more than 220,000 people, the majority of fighters in the group formally known as Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia were granted amnesty and allowed to participate in politics.

| Rex Tillerson defends American values but says Donald Trump 'speaks for himself' Posted: 27 Aug 2017 02:28 PM PDT  Donald Trump's values are not necessarily America's values, according to Rex Tillerson, US Secretary of State, who ignited fresh questions on Sunday about the fall-out from the president's handling of violence in Charlottesville earlier this month. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Mr Tillerson was asked about Mr Trump's comments apparently finding moral equivalence between white supremacists and the people who marched against them. His response – in which he said there should be do doubt about the US government's commitment to long-held values but that the president "speaks for himself" - suggests he is the latest senior administration figure to distance himself from Mr Trump's position. Must-watch. Wallace asks Tillerson if Trump speaks for American values: "The President speaks for himself." (Note Wallace's reaction.) pic.twitter.com/fHEk6qjwPd— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) August 27, 2017 In particular, he was asked whether the comments made it more difficult to promote American values overseas. "We express America's values from the State Department," he said. "We represent the American people, we represent America's values, our commitment to freedom, our commitment to equal treatment of people the world over and that message has never changed." He was then asked about the president's values. "The president speaks for himself," he replied. Mr Trump has suffered a withering barrage of criticism after one person was killed in violence at a rally held by members of the extreme Right. The president responded by condemning bigotry and hatred on "many sides". Hundreds gather for Charlottesville vigil 01:37 Last week, Gary Cohn, Mr Trump's most senior economic adviser, told the Financial Times that he wrote a letter of resignation over the issue but never submitted it. On Sunday, Joe Biden, Barack Obama's vice president, added his voice to the row, accusing Mr Trump of emboldening white supremacists. "Today we have an American president who has publicly proclaimed a moral equivalency between neo-Nazis and Klansmen and those who would oppose their venom and hate," he wrote in a commentary published by the Atlantic. He called for clear, unequivocal condemnation. "This is a moment for this nation to declare what the president can't with any clarity, consistency, or conviction: There is no place for these hate groups in America," he said.
