Germany's oldest bookseller, 95, packs suspense in last chapter
SALZWEDEL, Germany - When Helga Weyhe began work at her beloved bookshop, the Red Army was on the march towards her east German town, Hitler still clung to power and Sartre had just published "No Exit".Fast-forward more than seven decades and the remarkably spry 95-year-old, Germany's oldest bookseller, swats away any talk of retirement, or even slowing down.Still staffing the store six days a week, Weyhe said books got her through two dictatorships and would see her through her last chapter too."I started in 1944 and I'm still here," she said with a smile, sitting in her back office stacked with handpicked volumes."I had lots of dreams when I was young but they always involved books."Weyhe represents the third generation of her family to run the shop,...

Angelina Jolie calls for long-term Syrian refugee solution
ZAATARI REFUGEE CAMP, Jordan - Movie star Angelina Jolie visited a camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan on Monday, calling for a political solution to Syria's long-running civil war and saying that "humanitarian aid is not a long-term solution."Children crowded around the US actress as she spoke in a patch of muddy space between hundreds of rows of caravans in the desert camp of Zaatari, less than an hour's drive from the Syrian border.It was Jolie's fifth visit to Jordan."It is heartbreaking to return to Jordan and witness the levels of hardship and trauma among Syrian refugees as this war enters its eighth year," Jolie said after meeting refugee families and teenage girls in a UN-run community program."I'm very proud. You're very strong, all of...

'Maze Runner' installment tops charts, Oscars pics get boost
LOS ANGELES - "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" is the highest grossing film of the weekend, but according to studio estimates Monday, many moviegoers also chose the first weekend after Oscar nominations to catch up with some awards contenders like "The Shape of Water" which had its highest grossing frame with $5.7 million.In first place, "The Death Cure" took in a higher than expected $23.5 million. It's the third and final installment in the "Maze Runner" series based on James Dashner's dystopian young adult novels and the weakest opening of the three (the first opened to $32.5 million and the second to $30.3 million). Part of that may be attributable to stalled momentum and a two-and-a-half-year gap between the second and third film. "The...

LONDON - Scorching summer days are growing hotter in the world's big cities at a significantly faster pace than the average rise in world temperatures - a trend that could mean more deadly urban heatwaves in years ahead, scientists said.In cities such as Paris, Houston, Moscow and Beijing, the level of heat on the hottest summer days is growing two or three times as quickly as general temperature rises linked to climate change over the last 50 years, said researchers at the University of California-Irvine.The trend is particularly pronounced in Europe, East Asia and parts of Australia, they said in a report released this week in the journal Earth's Future.Worsening heat extremes are already one of the world's biggest health threats, health officials say.With more than half of...
