    Stealing From the Dead
    Tuyeimo Haidula

    Namibia is located on the coast of Africa, near South Africa. Recently, people have found that 41 tombstones were stolen from Elcin Cemetery, with the intention of being resold. The tombstone have been damaged, and the case is being processed by the police. Not only were the tombs destroyed, but the rest of the cemetery was vandalized. It has been especially traumatizing to families, because some people have not even paid off the debt of the stones yet.

    Typhoon Hagibis batters Japan with high winds and heavy rain
    By Daniel Bellamy

    One man was killed and more than 30 people were injured as a powerful typhoon bore down on Tokyo on Saturday, bringing with it the heaviest rain and winds in 60 years.
    More than six million people were advised to evacuate.
    Typhoon Hagibis, which means “speed” in the Philippine language Tagalog, made landfall on Japan’s main island of Honshu late on Saturday, threatening to flood low-lying Tokyo as it coincides with high tide.
    The storm, which the government warned could be the strongest to hit Tokyo since 1958, has already brought record-breaking rainfall in Kanagawa prefecture south of Tokyo with a whopping 700 mm (27.6 inches) of rain over 24 hours.

    Reporter: Sophie Foster,Ron Adams
    Summary: Vanuatu, country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, consisting of a chain of 13 principal and many smaller islands located about 500 miles (800 west of Fiji and 1,100 miles (1,770 km) east of Australia. The islands extend north-south for some 400 miles (650 km) in an irregular Y shape. The overwhelming majority of ni-Vanuatu are subsistence agriculturalists, living in small rural villages where activities revolve around the land. The constitution guarantees that land cannot be alienated from its “indigenous custom owners,” or traditional owners, and their descendants. More than an economic resource, land is the physical embodiment of the metaphysical link with the past, and identification with a particular tract of land (expressed by the Bislama phrase man ples) remains one of the fundamental concepts governing ni-Vanuatu culture, although foreign developers have gained control over some land through long-term leases.
