Black rhino refuge fights poacher war in Zimbabwe
CHIKWENYA CAMP Zimbabwe AP One of Africa's last refuges for endangered black rhinos has become a battle zone as heavily armed poachers collide with Zimbabwean paramilitary wardens. Across a 150 mile river frontier Tatham and 17 rangers lead 80 scouts in a two year operation that claims 29 poachers killed 22 captured and one scout killed by a lioness amid center camp security and armed escorts for guests. The drive to protect about 500 rhinos is supported by US funding and international concern with cross border tensions and demanding resources.

New faces may return to old politics in Japan
Yasuhiro Nakasone steps down as prime minister after a five year term marked by a personal, confrontational style. Analysts note potential successors Shintaro Abe Noboru Takeshita and Kiichi Miyazawa are quieter figures anchored in consensus politics. The LDP will pick a successor by October 31 or via backroom talks, with the new leader likely to influence Tokyo's diplomacy and domestic policy.
