| [ARABNEWS] Climate change is a big worry in Latin America, Asia and Africa, but the Daesh group spells more anxiety among Europeans and North Americans, a global opinion poll released Tuesday suggests. The Pew Research Center in Washington said it interviewed 45,435 respondents in 40 countries to see what issues were most likely to keep them awake at night. Sixty-one percent in Latin America identified climate change as their biggest worry, the highest proportion of any region, said Pew in a summary of its findings. Concern was greatest in Peru and Brazil, running at 75 percent in both nations, it said. Climate change was similarly the top concern for 59 percent of Africans surveyed in nine countries, with fear expressed most frequently in Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... (79 percent), Uganda (74 percent) and Ghana (71 percent). In the Asia-Pacific region, a majority in half of the 10 countries surveyed identified climate change as the top issue, with the proportion running as high as 73 percent in India and 72 percent in the Philippines. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed his guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... the Daesh group was the leading worry in Europe, where 70 percent expressed serious concern about the threat that it represents, Pew said. Sixty-eight percent of Americans and 58 percent of Canadians felt likewise, and IS was also the top concern for a majority of respondents in South Korea, Japan, Australia and Indonesia. Fear of Daesh was shared by respondents in the Middle East, where 84 percent of Lebanese, including 90 percent of its Sunnis and 87 percent of its Shias, said they were very concerned by the group's proliferation. Sixty-two percent of respondents in Jordan and 54 percent in the Paleostinian territories agreed with that concern, Pew said. |

| #3 For example. If a 30 years old African-American has "voluntary" sex with a 14 years old white male student: who is the rapist and who is the victim? |
