A military that appeared, on the surface, to be largely under the thumb of Mr. Erdogan is clearly riven with divisions so severe that the chief of staff appears to have been be detained while lower-level officers put tanks on the streets of Istanbul and the air force over Ankara, the capital.

But, just as it would be naïve to pretend that a happy ending is assured because our political institutions have managed to incorporate new groups in the past, so, too, would it be cynical to conclude that America is too riven with conflict—or too rotten with injustice—to be redeemed. ♦

Protesters in Hong Kong threw gasoline bombs at government headquarters and set fires in the streets on Saturday, while police stormed a subway car and hit passengers with batons and pepper spray in scenes that seem certain to inflame tensions further in a city riven by nearly three months of pro-democracy demonstrations.

It was a muddled end to a chaotic process — one that revealed an American team riven by conflicts over tactics and policy, working for a president eager for a victory but torn by his desire to have a smooth summit meeting next month with North Korea, over which China wields enormous influence.

Called the "truce" candidate by one person close to the board and the "compromise" choice by another — due to extensive infighting between ousted CEO Travis Kalanick and Uber's big investor Benchmark — Khosrowshahi will now try to settle the turbulent waters at the company riven by, well, pretty much every manner of corporate plague.

The violent, crack-riddled streets and project corridors, the ones conservative journals such as The Weekly Standard foolishly claimed were full of "Super-Predators" during Carter's youth, have become, if not universally prosperous, much less riven by shootings and robberies as crime, all over the city and the industrialized Western world, dropped.

The president vowed to "totally destroy North Korea" if the U.S. is forced to defend itself or its allies against the renegade nation's nuclear weapons program, making his case in a combative debut speech to the U.N. that laid out a stark, good-vs-evil view of a globe riven by chaos and turmoil.

Their complexity and scale are powerful enough to awe us, and the works lie far enough outside our routine frameworks of thought that if we are to engage them at all we need to simply accept their otherness, a capacity we would all be wise to develop in this segregated and strife-riven country.

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller's probe into Russian meddling in last year's election and possible ties of the Trump campaign to Moscow is starting at the beginning of Trump's presidency when he has few accomplishments or good will to fall back on, and when the White House is already riven with internal divisions and leaks.

On Monday, just as Trump was falsely holding her up as an example of a country riven by immigrant-related crime (Germany's crime rate last year was the lowest since 1992), she won a brief reprieve from a threat by her conservative coalition partner to begin turning back asylum-seekers at the German frontier.

They continue to advocate for the same basic set of policies, and they worry much more about how to get their voters to the polls than they do about winning over voters who dislike them.... The Republican Party may be riven by internal conflict, but underneath it all they still push forward, whatever the consequences.

In the song however, Carter seems to pine for those dangerous streets: At 452 Marcy, on roughly 903 acres that were once the site of an old Dutch windmill, the projects where Carter grew up remain, as disempowered as ever, if less riven with deadly violence than at the height of the crack age.

Zuma is due step down as ANC president in December, when the party elects new leadership, and as national president in 2019, Along with allegations of corruption and mismanaging the economy, the ANC has been riven by fighting between factions backing Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and former African Union head Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as leadership candidates.

Even a relatively formal piece like "For 'Dream of Life'" (1988) — a large pastel composed primarily of a yellow mass evoking a bifurcated tuba framed by an irregular red rectangle, a riven spirit on a flying carpet — feels immediately more improvisational than "Dust Tracks" on the facing wall, the only other occupant of the gallery's front room.

Whoever takes over will face huge challenges: boosting morale in a party riven by distrust; responding to the rise of the Greens, who are gobbling up SPD votes in Germany's cities and in its south and west; and handling the fallout from state elections in the east this autumn, where the party expects to do badly.

His half-secret marriage of convenience after 2014 with the Shia Houthi rebels, who had previously opposed him, was riven by mutual mistrust—over patronage in the north, and especially over his long off-on dalliance with Saudi Arabia, supposedly their common enemy, and with the United Arab Emirates, where his son Ahmed was under loose house arrest.

Internally, the White House has been riven with differences over how aggressively to prosecute the Chinese over its industry practices, with financiers like Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin taking a more flexible line while others like U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Director of the White House National Trade Council Peter Navarro have pushed for a much more aggressive approach.

And vocal parts for a climactic number sung by the lead actors Vondie Curtis Hall and Ato Blankson-Wood — who play a father-and-son musical team riven both by the era's political ferment and the arrival of a blues-besotted white British music producer (David Cale) — were conjured aloud, mouth to ear, on the spot.

But in the wake of last week's stunning defeat of legislation to replace the Affordable Care Act, which further eroded his already flagging poll numbers, Mr. Trump has made an abrupt shift from courting his party's most conservative lawmakers to hurling threats at them, a vivid illustration of his difficulties uniting a still-riven Republican Party.

The dysfunctional state of the United States' form of republican government begs a question: is the system that once yielded "one nation, indivisible" up to the task of uniting a nation as deeply riven by polarization of wealth, race, social values, and economic theory, as it was divided by even worse evils during the ante-bellum years?

So long as the Taliban leadership is secure in its Pakistan safe havens, so long as it can recruit more fighters to take the place of those lost, so long as insurgents can increase costs on the Afghan government, and so long as the Afghan government is riven by corruption and division, the Taliban can just wait us out.

With our nation now riven by polarization and impeachment, the Longfellow poem offers a metaphor for us to contemplate as we evaluate the status of our constitutional order: Fear not each sudden sound and shock, 'Tis of the wave and not the rock; 'Tis but the flapping of the sail, And not a rent made by the gale!

It's an outcome that the White House has pushed for, but one that some Trump allies say could cause the president to lash out and say, "I told you so" as he starts seeing cable news coverage of Democrats — and even some Republicans — lamenting that the trial format was broken, riven by partisanship and incapable of delivering a true verdict on Trump's behavior.

Ordinarily, the transition from one high-level position to another would be a largely rubber-stamp affair, but with Washington riven by political hostility and serious foreign policy challenges nearing a boil, Pompeo's Thursday nomination hearing is set to be as much a debate over his fitness for the job as it is over the Trump administration's handling of looming international tests.

The council's discussions are normally strictly guarded and the publication of its discussions sparked an immediate furor in the UK. The Huawei issue has exposed new tensions within May's Conservative Party, already riven over Brexit and shopping around for a new leader to takeover when the Prime Minister stands down in the wake of the UK eventually agreeing how to leave the European Union.

If India's electorate delivered a second term to Modi in spite of the breakdown in everyday life, riven by violence and accompanied by a collapsing economy—and in spite of India's strong, anti-colonial tradition of leftism—the same can easily happen in the U.S. Extreme majoritarianism—the sort that uses democracy to legitimize the subjugation of a country's minorities—flourishes best in times of great turmoil.

Since Thaksin was toppled in 2006, Thailand has been riven by political instability, as the country divided into political groupings that drew their support from a complex network of associations: on one side, the generally pro-Thaksin red shirts whose support comes mainly from rural communities in the north and east; on the other, the urban and middle class elites, who largely favour a less populist, more paternalistic form of governance.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May was clinging to power on Thursday after her final Brexit gambit backfired, overshadowing a European election that has shown a United Kingdom still riven over its divorce from the EU. May's departure will deepen the Brexit crisis as a new leader is likely to want a more decisive split, raising the chances of a confrontation with the European Union and an election that could usher in a socialist government.

In "Mothers, Daughters" (20063), which begins in Los Angeles but takes place mostly in Northern California, and "Rhine Maidens" (1981), whose mother and daughter narrators live in different social strata and have little in common besides genes and unfulfilling marriages, Ms. See concentrated on women whose lives are being lived out disappointingly, the pain of riven generational ties and the emotional wanness of a society in the latter days of the sexual revolution.

Prime Minister May clung to power on Thursday after her final Brexit gambit backfired, overshadowing a European election that has shown a United Kingdom still riven over its divorce from the EU. "With both Brexit uncertainties and U.S.-China trade tensions threatening to inflict more damage on the EU economy, any post-election reprieve... would likely prove short-lived," said Jameel Ahmad, global head of currency strategy and market research at online trading platform FXTM.

That's when the SVCF — the behind-the-scenes consigliere to the wealthy — became the front-of-camera story, devastated by a series of media portraits that painted the charity as riven by some of the same cultural problems that plague too many startups: a grow-at-all-costs attitude; a culture of intimidation, fear, and lewd sexual dialogue; and eventually, the messy ouster of a charismatic CEO who built a juggernaut, at least before the jig was up.

She will inherit a party which won 4 million votes in the 2015 national election but is now riven with factional disputes and struggling to redefine itself after achieving its main goal of triggering Britain's exit from the EU. An ally of Farage defected to the Conservatives on the eve of the conference, saying that Prime Minister Theresa May had delivered key elements of the UKIP manifesto since taking office in July and that droves of UKIP supporters were doing the same.

If we observe the fuller picture, it is evident that much of the world is riven with local rivalries, tribal enmities and ancient hatreds that have nothing to do with the wellbeing of the average American citizen, or the national interests of the U.S. The persistent strength of the Taliban is the result of local concerns, such as ethnic-Pashtun nationalism and the rivalry between India and Pakistan that causes the latter to provide some support to militants in Afghanistan as a way of countering Indian influence there.
