Clinton releases tax return, Trump refuses

Democratic White House candidate Hillary Clinton on Friday released her tax return for last year and criticized her Republican rival Donald Trump for bucking a long-standing tradition by failing to do the same. Clinton and her husband Bill, the former president, reported $10.6 million in income for 2015. They paid $3.6 million in federal income tax, according to the document, which was posted on her campaign website.

During the recent battle for the strategic northern city of Manbij, launched in late May, there has been such a worrying surge in deaths that some groups fear  US military  commanders have loosened rules protecting civilians. The Pentagon denies any change to the rules of engagement. “We tracked a huge increase in civilian deaths [from coalition airstrikes] in  Syria in June above May, a rise of 72% from the previous month,” said Chris Woods, director of Airwars, who says at least 210 civilians were killed by coalition airstrikes in the battle for Manbij alone. “Even back in early June, we were getting very bad reports and significant civilian casualties, so it is simply not credible for the coalition to suggest that they were unaware of this. This is a very big deal and it has been going on for a long time.” A single attack on a village outside the city last week  killed at least 74 named civilians, mostly women and children,  and potentially mor...
