Obama, Duterte clash over crime war
US President Barack Obama urged Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday to conduct his crime war "the right way", as the pair clashed at an Asian summit over the crackdown that has claimed 3,000 lives. The showdown was a fitting climax to a brutal few days of diplomacy that began with Duterte branding Obama a "son of a whore". After warnings from Duterte that he would not be lectured on his crime war - Obama urged the Philippine leader to respect the rule of law.
