World Watch: Climactic caution

* World: According to a report by the U.N. released yesterday slower population growth could help combat climate change and lessen the “climate burden” shouldered by women in underdeveloped states.

* Russia: Anti-facist groups and neo-Nazis have fought in the streets of Moscow after the “fatal shooting of an anti-racist activist.”

* Iran: It’s back to the drawing board over Iran and its nuclear ambitions after that country rejected an internationally-brokered deal.

* Somalia: A 20-year-old woman was brutally stoned to death in front of 2000 eyewitnesses after a “judge” punished her for committing adultery.
