Lebanon repeals 'rape law', but activists say more is needed to protect women

Description

INTERNATIONAL PAPERS - Thurs.17.08.17: Donald Trump's comments on the violence in Charlottesville continue to draw criticism.

L'Orient-Le Jour, however, says more is needed to protect women. We end with a story from Canada. An 84-year-old woman found her long-lost engagement ring... wrapped around a carrot.
