| Analysis: Sudan rulers dig in as foes look for Arab Spring Posted: 28 Jun 2012 03:06 PM PDT KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Outside the University of Khartoum, riot police in blue fatigues perch on pickup trucks, keeping watch as young women in bright headscarves and men in button-down shirts walk by carrying textbooks to class in Sudan's intense summer heat. Less than a week earlier, the campus - just a few hundred meters (yards) from the national security headquarters - was a battleground. Police fired teargas and used batons to break up hundreds of protesters, who threw rocks back at them. No one expects the shaky truce to last. ... |

| Italy fans say German Euro defeat shows who's boss Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:54 PM PDT ROME (Reuters) - Italian fans gloated about their 2-1 win against Germany in the Euro 2012 semi-final on Thursday, saying they hoped it would help Prime Minister Mario Monti who is locked in a standoff with German Chancellor Angela Merkel over the euro zone's future. "This shows Germany who's in charge," said Andrea Arces, 20, a student from southern Italy who joined thousands of Italian fans celebrating and waving flags in Rome's Piazza del Popolo.

| U.S. Coast Guard empty-handed in stowaway search Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:49 PM PDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - It's been anything but smooth sailing for the U.S. Coast Guard this month. For the second time in June, the Coast Guard has fruitlessly pursued a time-consuming, high-profile search, drawing away resources from an agency that protects the country's maritime interests. The agency responds to 64 search and rescue cases and saves an average of 12 lives a day, according to its website. In the latest instance, the Coast Guard called off a search for what it believed were stowaways on a trans-Atlantic cargo ship after no one was found, officials said. ... |

With Thursday's decision to grant exceptions to China, which buys up to a fifth of Iran's oil exports, and Singapore, which buys Iranian fuel oil, the Obama administration has now spared all 20 of Iran's major oil buyers from its unilateral sanctions. ... |

| Syria's Assad says duty to "annihilate terrorists" Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:35 PM PDT DUBAI (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al Assad said in a rare interview broadcast on Thursday that his government had a duty to "annihilate terrorists" to protect its people and ruled out any solution to the crisis imposed from outside the country. His one-hour interview coincided with a sharp escalation of violence inside Syria and a flurry of diplomatic activity ahead of a planned meeting in Geneva that will try to end the bloodshed.

| Ruling casts doubt on expanding healthcare for the poor Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:35 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - While the Supreme Court upheld a U.S. healthcare overhaul on Thursday, its decision cast doubt on whether the plan to extend health coverage to more than 30 million uninsured people will reach some of the poorest Americans. In its ruling, the court allows states to opt out of an expansion of Medicaid benefits for low-income earners with household incomes of up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line, or about $30,000. The current Medicaid threshold varies geographically but in 33 states is under the definition of poverty of $22,000 per household. ... |
| Chaos, confusion mark cable TV reports on Supreme Court ruling Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:24 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sometimes, breaking news requires a little fixing. The antique traditions of the U.S. Supreme Court collided with the now-now-now news media on Thursday, resulting in chaos and chagrin as two U.S. cable television networks wrongly reported that the heart of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law had been overturned by the nation's highest court. The erroneous initial reports came as journalists and amateur legal analysts everywhere rushed to extract a clear headline from 193 pages of complicated legal opinion from the Supreme Court. ... |

| Hospitals win in health ruling, mixed view for HMOs Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:21 PM PDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hospitals and insurers providing Medicaid plans for the poor emerged as the main corporate winners from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Barack Obama's healthcare law, while investors in large insurers were left deflated. The ruling paves the way for hospitals to see a massive influx of insured customers from the law which is expected to broaden coverage to more than 30 million uninsured Americans. ... |

| Sick Americans relieved at high court health ruling Posted: 28 Jun 2012 01:52 PM PDT CHICAGO (Reuters) - Americans who were relying on a U.S. healthcare overhaul to provide them with health insurance heaved a collective sigh of relief after the Supreme Court upheld the law, which aims to extend coverage to more than 30 million people. Gail Richardson, 59, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, has been uninsured since 2010 and has two autoimmune disorders. She earns $11,000 a year as a freelance writer, not enough to cover living expenses and the current monthly premiums for private insurance. "It's not like I need affordable insurance. I need free insurance," she said. ... |
