In this April 6, 2017, photo, President Donald Trump speaks at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., after the U.S. fired a barrage of cruise missiles into Syria in retaliation for this week's gruesome chemical weapons attack against civilians. Before the U.S. attack on a Syrian air base, Trump accused his predecessor of doing nothing when Syria’s government used chemical weapons against its population in 2013. He’s right that President Barack Obama issued what amounted to an empty threat of military action. The circumstances, though, were more complicated than Trump described. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP)

Although a global wildlife summit banned all trade of the pangolin, an anteater with a distinctive coat of hard scales, doubts remain whether that will stop the illegal traffic of pangolins in Africa fueled by a growing demand from Asian consumers, particularly Chinese.

In this photo taken on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, a woman prisoner suspected of suffering from the Ebola virus, from Tubmanburg central prison, is pushed in a wheelchair towards a medical vehicle, to be taken to an Ebola treatment center in Monrovia, Liberia. The Ebola outbreak has spawned a “silent killer,” experts say: hidden cases of malaria, pneumonia, typhoid and the like that are going untreated because people in the countries hardest hit by Ebola either cannot find an open clinic or are too afraid to go to one.

Nationwide, there are 2.7 million grandparents raising grandchildren. About a fifth have incomes that fall below the poverty line, according the Census figures. More grandparents are taking on the role of parents for their grandkids, as social service agencies try to place foster children in so-called kinship families. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) (AP)
