Research from Coventry University, as part of the BBC Learning Terrific Scientific Campaign, has found that eating something you do not like on a regular basis can make you like it more.
But can the technique encourage children to like green vegetables such as kale?

［ワシントン ３０日 ロイター］ – トランプ米大統領は３０日、難民・移民の入国を制限する大統領令を擁護しないよう司法省弁護士に指示したイェーツ米司法長官代行を解任した。スパイサー大統領報道官がツイッターで明らかにした。 報道官によると、大統領は後任にバージニア州東地区ダナ・ボエンテ弁護士を指名した。 イェーツ氏は、オバマ前政権下で司法副長官を務め、トランプ政権になっても政権側の意向で長官代行を務めていた。イェーツ氏は３０日、今回の大統領令が合法であるとの確信が持てないとし、司法省は擁護しないとの見解を明らかにした。その１時間後に解任されたことになる。 ホワイトハウスは、イェーツ氏が「米国市民を守るための法令執行を拒否し、司法省を裏切った」と非難。同氏の行動は政治的なものだとした。さらに「イェーツ氏は、国境警備に弱腰で不法移民問題にも非常に疎かったオバマ前大統領に指名された」との声明を公開した。 司法長官には共和党のジェフ・セッションズ上院議員が近日中に承認される見通しになっていた。イェーツ氏の後任となるボエンテ氏は、セッションズ氏が就任するまで長官代行を務める。 ボエンテ氏はワシントン・ポスト紙のインタビューで、大統領令を執行すると述べた。 米国では司法省幹部が公式に解任された例は数件しかない。最も有名なのは、ウォーターゲート事件の捜査で当時のニクソン大統領に特別検察官解任を命じられたが、これを拒否し１９７３年に解任されたエリオット・リチャードソン氏の例がある。 ＊内容を追加しました。

［東京 ３１日 ロイター］ – 正午のドル／円は、前日ニューヨーク市場午後５時時点と比べ、ドル安／円高の１１３．５０／５２円だった。トランプ米大統領による移民・難民入国規制に対する警戒感から日経平均株価が大幅安となり、ドル／円の上値は重かった。正午前に日銀が金融政策の現状維持を決めたと発表され、１１３円後半に持ち直す場面もあったが、上昇の勢いは続かなかった。 朝方のドル／円は、米株安の流れを受けて日経平均株価が２００円超安で推移したのをながめて、一時１１３．５９円に下押しが強まった。 仲値公示にかけては、実需筋の月末フローで輸入企業のドル買いがやや優勢だったとみられ、仲値を挟んで１１３．８３円に持ち直した。 ただ、その後は１１３円半ばにじりじりと押し返された。朝方にも１１３．８４円で頭を抑えられており「なかなか１１４円に戻せず、まだ上値は重い印象」（国内金融機関）とされた。トランプ大統領がイエーツ司法長官代理を解任したと伝わると、一時１１３．４５円に下押しした。 正午前に日銀が金融政策の現状維持を決定したことが伝わると、いったん１１３．７５円に強含んだ。ただ、勢いは続かず、間もなく１１３円半ばに押し戻された。

Eine Studentin ist am Freitag in München vergewaltigt worden. Wie die Polizei mitteilt, fiel ein Mann in der Damentoilette der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) über die 25-Jährige her.
Am Montagabend konnte nun ein Verdächtiger gefasst werden. Der Mann sei « in den Gebäuden der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität gegen 18 Uhr » von Beamten abgeführt worden, sagte eine Polizeisprecherin. Es werde überprüft, ob es sich tatsächlich um den Mann handele, der am Freitag eine Studentin vergewaltigt und erheblich verletzt hatte.
Die 25-Jährige hatte eine Damentoilette der Universität aufgesucht, als ihr ein Unbekannter folgte. Mit roher Gewalt öffnete dieser laut Polizei die Kabinentür, hinter der die junge Frau war, und habe sie zu sexuellen Handlungen aufgefordert.
Die Studentin wehrte sich trotz eines noch nicht verheilten Armbruchs heftig, doch letztlich erfolglos. Sie verletzte den Täter allerdings mit einem Biss in die Hand. Sie selbst erlitt Prellungen und Kratzwunden und zog sich erneut einen Armbruch zu.

Stephen Kevin « Steve » Bannon hat in den USA mittlerweile viel Einfluss. Donald Trump holte ihn nach der Wahl als Chefberater ins Weiße Haus. In dieser Position legt sich der 62-Jährige gerne mit den Medien an. Er sieht sie als Opposition, die « sich schämen und den Mund halten » sollten.
Nun steht Steve Bannon wieder im Rampenlicht. Denn von ihm soll das Gesetz stammen, das Menschen aus mehreren muslimischen Ländern 90 Tage lang die Einreise in die USA verbietet – und gegen das es unter anderem von amerikanischen Konzernen und der Opposition massiven Widerstand gibt. Der Bundesstaat Washington kündigte sogar Klage gegen die Trump-Regierung an.
Von Anfang an war klar, dass Donald Trump mit Steve Bannon auf einen polarisierenden Chefberater setzt. Denn schon in der Vergangenheit fiel er durch seine nationalistische Haltung auf.
Vor seinem Posten als Chefberater von Donald Trump führte Steve Bannon die Website « Breitbart News », die seit Jahren erbittert gegen die Clintons kämpft und sich oft rechter Verschwörungstheorien bedient. Im Wahlkampf unterstützte Breitbart Trump mit umstrittener Propaganda. Die US-Seite von Buzzfeed kommentierte das so: « Breitbart? Kein Journalismus. Medienaktivismus. »
Steve Bannon hat mit seiner Seite dazu beigetragen, dass die Tea Party erstarkt ist, durch die Republikaner vor einigen Jahren weiter nach rechts gerückt waren. Das « Bloomberg Magazine » kommentierte das sogar mit einem Vergleich mit der NS-Zeit in Deutschland: Bannon habe für die Tea Party eine ähnliche Rolle gespielt wie Leni Riefenstahl für Adolf Hitler.
Früher arbeitete Steve Bannon für Goldman Sachs, womit er in die Welt der Reichen aufstieg – wie so viele im Team von Donald Trump. Nun hat der Hardliner endgültig großen politischen Einfluss errungen. Dabei wird ihm nachgesagt, dass er intelligent und rücksichtslos für seine Überzeugungen eintrete.

A look at all the changes that have been made under Trump’s administration so far.

Washington – Former President Barack Obama praised protesters who amassed across the country in opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration orders, breaking his silence on political issues for the first time since leaving office.
« The president fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion, » Obama’s spokesperson, Kevin Lewis, said.
In his first statement on behalf of the former president, Lewis said Obama was « heartened » by the amount of engagement taking place in US communities. Lewis, a former White House official, pointed out that Obama used his last official speech as president to talk about Americans’ responsibility to be « guardians of our democracy, » even in non-election years.
« Citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake, » Lewis said.
Lewis didn’t specifically invoke Trump’s immigration order. But he rejected comparisons between Trump’s recent actions and Obama’s foreign policy decisions.
Trump said he took cues from Obama by temporarily banning travel to the US from citizens of seven countries that Obama’s administration identified as places of terrorism concern. But Obama’s designation related strictly to eligibility to enter the US without a visa; he never considered a travel ban.
Obama’s office also circulated excerpts from a speech the former president gave in November 2015, in which he called the idea of a ban on Muslims « shameful ».
« That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion, » Obama said in the aftermath of attacks in Paris that prompted calls for the US to restrict Syrian refugees from entering the United States.
Trump and the White House have vigorously disputed the notion that Trump’s order is a « Muslim ban. » Trump’s halts all refugee admissions for 120 days, suspends the Syrian refugee programme indefinitely and also suspends entry to the US from seven majority-Muslim countries for 90 days. But the White House has stressed that dozens of other Muslim-majority countries aren’t included.
Lewis’ comments mark the first time Obama has weighed in on Trump’s actions since Obama left office on January 20. In his final weeks as president, Obama said he planned to follow George W. Bush’s example by giving his successor room to govern without being second-guessed.
Yet Obama pointedly reserved the right to speak out if Trump violated what Obama called basic American values. He suggested a ban on Muslims or a move by Trump to deport immigrants brought to the US illegally as children would cross that threshold.

The U. S. Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday in its first policy decision since President Donald Trump took office, as the central bank awaits greater clarity on his economic policies.
Trump has promised a large infrastructure spending program, tax cuts, a rollback of regulations and a renegotiation of trade deals but has offered few details or a timeline for their roll out since his victory in the Nov. 8 election.
The central bank’s latest policy decision is scheduled to be released at 2 p.m. EST on Wednesday at the conclusion of a two-day meeting. Fed Chair Janet Yellen is not due to hold a press conference.
The policy decision will come a week after Yellen underscored that the U. S. economy is near full employment and warned of a « nasty surprise » on inflation if the Fed is too slow with its rate hikes.
Economists polled by Reuters have all but ruled out a rate increase at this week’s meeting. Investors next see an interest rate rise in June, according to Fed futures data compiled by the CME Group.
The Fed raised its benchmark interest rate at its last policy meeting in December, the second such move in a decade, to a target range between 0.50 percent and 0.75 percent. It forecast a further three rate increases this year.
Despite encouraging U. S. economic data, Fed policymakers are currently hampered in assessing how quickly inflation might rise until they have more information on Trump’s economic plans.
« At the moment there’s incredible uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy and the potential for stimulus and the composition of that, » said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics. « The Fed can’t react until it knows what to react to. »
With the U. S. economy already bumping up against full employment, Trump’s promises on fiscal stimulus and tax reform could quickly spur higher inflation as would imposing tariffs on Mexican imports.
That may cause Fed policymakers to raise rates faster.
Other policies, such as an immigration crackdown, go against what the Fed argues the U. S. economy needs to grow over the long term.
U. S. stocks fell on Monday after Trump curtailed travel and immigration to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries.
The S&P 500 index is still up roughly 6 percent since Trump’s victory and the robustness of the domestic economy makes the United States increasingly divergent from Japan, the euro zone and Britain, none of which are expected to raise rates anytime soon.
The Fed will likely only make minor tweaks in its policy statement on Wednesday to reflect a string of positive recent economic reports.
« Changes to the … statement should be mostly upbeat, » Roberto Perli, an economist at Cornerstone Macro LLC, said in a note to clients.
The U. S. unemployment rate is 4.7 percent and business investment has improved, despite a slowdown in fourth-quarter economic growth caused mostly by a widening trade deficit. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the nation’s economic activity, rose solidly in December, according to Commerce Department data released on Monday.

SHANGHAI—The officials who look after China’s relations with the world respect—even admire—a tough negotiator. That’s how they first thought about the challenge of Donald Trump.
Even when he rattled the foundations of U. S.-China relations by taking a call from the Taiwan president after his election, their calm response reflected hopes that he was bluffing. Indeed, Mr. Trump encouraged the idea by suggesting that trade concessions…
