(CBS News) ISLAMABAD – A teenaged Christian girl arrested in Pakistan on a controversial charge of blasphemy was ordered released on bail by a judge Friday, but there are concerns that her life may still be in danger even after seemingly dodging the allegation – which could technically have brought the death penalty. Judge Azam Khan ordered her release on about $10,000 bail after hearing competing arguments from the defense and prosecution lawyers. CBS News is withholding her identity as she is a minor.  “Our position has been vindicated. My client is now free on bail,” Tahir Chaudhary, the girl’s lawyer told CBS News. The rare legal victory for an individual targeted with Pakistan’s harsh blasphemy laws followed a tumultuous three weeks for the teenager who, according to a medical report, is 14 years old, but not intellectually developed to a level typical of her age.

In a controversial move, https://www.zrccb1jea.online/ Tokyo recently decided to refit the Kaga and a sister ship to carry F-35B Strike Fighters — effectively creating Japan’s first aircraft carriers since World War II, the first since the attack on Pearl Harbor. Now, after almost 75 years of peace, Mr. Trump’s visit will be seen as a display of military solidarity that has long been sought by Japan’s leaders. Professor Stephen Nagy, international relations scholar at Japan’s International Christian University, said he thinks the photo-op is intended as much for the American public as for Japan’s neighbors China and North Korea. “Over the past two years, three years, President Trump has conveyed a message that alliance partners really are leeching off the United States,” Nagy said. “Prime Minister (Shinzo) Abe would like to send a strong signal that no, that’s not the case, that the Japanese people and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are stepping up to the plate...
