NEWS 2A ❚ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2018 ❚ USA TODAY Study: New mothers may have higher cancer risk Childbirth ‘protection’ can take about 20 years Ashley May USA TODAY Women who recently gave birth might have a higher risk of developing breast cancer, a new study says Past research suggests women who have children tend to have a lower breast cancer risk than those who not But a research group led by the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center found that the “protection” from cancer can take more than 20 years after women give birth to take effect In an analysis of 15 prospective studies from around the world, the researchers suggest women who have recently had a child are more at risk for breast cancer than their childless counterparts, according to the report published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine In women 55 and younger, breast cancer risk was highest about five years after giving birth, according to the study The risk for those mothers was 80 percent higher than women who did not give birth Cancer risk after giving birth was higher for women who had a family history of breast cancer Childbirth became protective only after 23 years Overall, younger women are still less at risk for developing breast cancer than women over 50 Researchers found no increased risk for women who had their first child before age 25 “This is one piece of evidence that can be considered for building new prediction models … We want women and their doctors not to assume that recently having a child is always protective for breast cancer,” said Hazel Nichols, a member of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center who was involved in the study IN BRIEF Butina Congress approves overhaul of sexual harassment policies Continued

solution Police kill man in Strasbourg during hunt for market gunman A French official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a man killed Thursday night in a shootout with police in Strasbourg has been confirmed as the gunman who killed three people near a Christmas market Tuesday From staff and wire reports ADVERTISEMENT matches Alexander Torshin, deputy governor of the Russian Central Bank and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin Butina has been in jail in Northern Virginia since she was charged in July Prosecutors accused her of interacting with groups such as the NRA and exploiting those connections to try to advance Russian interests Butina faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine Defense lawyers led by Robert Driscoll said guidelines call for up to six months She traveled to the United States in April 2015 to attend a gun conference, with the goal of influencing members of the Republican Party Butina’s Russian gun rights group, called Right to Bear Arms, hosted a delegation of former NRA presidents, board members and major donors in Moscow in December 2015, where she arranged a meeting between NRA insiders and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov “We should let them express their gratitude now, we will put pressure on them quietly later,” Butina wrote to the Russian official after the meeting, according to the plea agreement Butina entered the U.S in June 2016 on a student visa to attend graduate school at American University She helped the Russian official organize a delegation “hand-picked” by the official “to establish a back channel of communication” at the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington Reaction to the delegation “will be relayed DIRECTLY” to the Russian president and foreign minister, according to an email from an American working with Butina quoted in the agreement Prosecutors said Butina was in regular contact with her Russian backers, including Torshin, a Kremlin-linked banker sanctioned by the U.S Treasury At one court hearing, prosecutors showed a photo of Butina dining with a Russian diplomat suspected of being an intelligence officer Little new information was revealed about Butina’s activities during Thursday’s court hearing, though the judge described an incident that ADVERTISEMENT played out last week that briefly threatened the plea agreement Prosecutors led by assistant U.S attorney Erik Kenerson alerted the judge that Butina may have been in contact with a journalist while in jail in violation of the judge’s gag order in the case, which prohibits the parties from making public statements The journalist was not identified The flap prompted the judge to hold a telephone conference with the lawyers Friday But Chutkan said Thursday she wasn’t making a finding about whether the call violated the gag order The dispute was resolved by Chutkan appointing public defender A.J Kramer to advise Butina on whether the allegation would increase pressure from her lawyers to urge her to plead guilty Butina said she was satisfied with her lawyers and she signed the plea agreement Saturday Chutkan set a status conference in the case for Feb 12 but did not immediately set a sentencing date because of Butina’s obligation to cooperate with the government Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy To reach us, contact Standards Editor Manny Garcia at

The foreign policy actions of President Donald J Trump and his administration are damaging the United States Abruptly and unilaterally breaking off long-standing commitments is counter-productive and picking fights with other governments, including allies, reduces U.S bargaining power and is often self destructive We are scholars and practitioners in the fields of peace studies and conflict resolution Our work provides sound grounding from which to devise better foreign policies and actions This has been increasingly recognized in the work of nongovernmental organizations and of federal and state agencies, including the Departments of State, Defense, and Justice, and the United States Institute of Peace Often, the result has been the effective and peaceful transformation of multilateral relations and deadly civil conflicts to the benefit of Americans We believe that the Trump administration is overly reliant on the use and threatened use of increasing military forces, while it under-funds and under-utilizes the Department of State Long-term harm will follow Too often, the Trump administration’s actions seem unrelated to any long-term goal or strategy but are instead directed to appeal to its domestic base We believe that the Trump administration should abandon its destructive, combative ways of conducting foreign affairs that threaten the risk of escalation We call on Congress to honor its constitutional responsibilities in regard to foreign affairs and courageously choose and support the implementation of alternative policies that are constructive We call on the American people to examine the dangers of the current policies and to turn to better, non-violent, and realistic policies for long-term human security This statement was
