DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia has published new laws that loosen restrictions on women by allowing them to apply for a passport and travel freely. The development ends a long-standing guardianship policy that had controlled women’s freedom of movement and is a potential game-changer for Saudi women’s rights. Still in place, however, are rules that require male consent for a woman to marry. Women still cannot pass on citizenship to their children and cannot provide consent for their children to marry.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States plans to test a new missile in the coming weeks that would have been prohibited under a landmark, 32-year-old arms control treaty that the U.S. and Russia ripped up on Friday. Washington and Moscow walked out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty that President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed in 1987, raising fears of a new arms race.
