Crow Valley in Capas, Tarlac (File photo) MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has directed the National Housing Authority (NHA) to relocate the indigenous peoples (IP) communities residing within the Crow Valley in Capas, Tarlac. In his taped Talk to the People delivered Thursday night but aired Friday morning, Duterte told NHA General Manager Marcelino Escalada Jr. to ensure that IPs will be given decent houses that are "far" from the Crow Valley. "I have a problem somewhere in Tarlac. Ito 'yung mga IP na within military area na adto, may mga IP diyan, about 300 plus somethi...

Turn to that a little bit more. >> the flights that the united states has been doing in the north of syria, had reportedly been very helpful in operations there, antiisis operations. you sent us this bit from stratford that says those have been shut off. >> the russians apparently recently deployed the sa-17, surface to air missile system, which targets aircraft coming across the border there. so it's in sierra, in northern syria, the russians are operating it and they're looking for planes. they say they're after isis, but isis doesn't have planes. who has planes? the u.s. and our allies, inc...
