By FOX News Radio’s Simon Owen in Skopje, Macedonia Lidija Karakamcheva marked her ballot in support of changing her country’s name, but did so with a heavy heart. “It is very emotional,” she told Fox News outside a polling centre in Macedonia’s capital Skopje. “But it is for the future of our country.” Voters across this small Balkan state went to the polls Sunday in a referendum on whether Macedonia should become North Macedonia — a government-proposed switch intended to settle a 27-year dispute with neighboring Greece, and pave the way for Macedonia to join NATO and, potentially, the European Union. The United States supports the change. But while preliminary results suggested a resounding “yes” vote — with 98% of polling centers having returned results, 91% of voters were in favor, according to Macedonia’s State Election Commission — it also seems that turnout was tepid at around 36% — a far cry from the massive show of support the government had hoped for. An opposition group had called for a boycott. Macedonia’s president had said he wouldn’t vote, denouncing the proposal as a “flagrant violation of sovereignty.” Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, frontman for the name change campaign, insisted he would not be deterred and urged parliament to back him, calling the balloting a “success for democracy and for a European Macedonia.” The U.S. State Department welcomed the results, urging lawmakers to “seize this historic opportunity to secure a brighter future for the country.” But opponents celebrated. As news of the low turnout emerged, around 2,000 people opposed to the change gathered outside the Macedonian parliament, dancing, singing and waving Macedonian flags. “The fact is that the agreement with Greece did not receive a green light,” said Hristijan Mickoski, head of the opposition VMRO party. Earlier in the day, some “yes” voters had cast their ballots with a spring in their step. Viktorija Stefkova, 48, a pharmacy worker, saw the name change as a reasonable price to pay if it yielded EU membership. She hoped that might afford her child the chance to study abroad. “I know what Europe is, especially for young people, and the opportunities the European Union can give them,” she told Fox News. “Life is compromise, family is compromise, marriage is compromise. Nobody is a winner, nobody is a loser, if you have a compromise.” That sentiment was echoed by Macedonian Finance Minister Dragan Tevdovski. After casting his vote, he told Fox News: “In the Balkans, it’s good to make a compromise,” noting the wars that have ravaged parts of this region in the recent past. But others were resolutely opposed. Venko Vchkov, a 60-year-old math teacher, called the proposed name change “stupid.” He told Fox News: “My grandfather, all of my ancestors, they were Macedonian, they live in Macedonia, and this is Macedonia.” The U.S. had warned that Russia was playing a covert role in the referendum campaign, hoping to encourage a “no” vote in a bid to thwart further NATO expansion, but Mr Vchkov dismissed that. “ don’t care,” he said. “They haven’t cared for centuries.” Russia denies meddling in the campaign. The dispute with Greece hinges on suspicions of territorial ambitions. Ever since Macedonia separated from the former Yugoslavia in 1991, Greece has argued that its choice of name implies a claim to its own Macedonia province, and has blocked Macedonia’s efforts to join NATO. It says it will drop its objections if Macedonia becomes North Macedonia. As both sides claimed success in the referendum, it seemed not everyone was surprised by the inconclusive result. “In the Balkans,” one man told us, “everything is complicated.” Follow FOX’s Simon Owen on Twitter: @bigso

When NHL legend Gordie Howe passed away in June of last year, fans remembered his four Stanley Cup championships with the Detroit Red Wings; the six Hart Trophies he won as the league’s most valuable player; the records he set; the ones that still stand; his 23 times taking the ice as an NHL All-Star. They called him by his nickname, “Mr. Hockey,” joking about the so-called “Gordie Howe Hat Trick.” (a goal, an assist, and a fight…for the record, Howe only scored two in his 32 seasons as a pro player.) What Howe’s youngest son, Dr. Murray Howe remembered is how his father lived his life and what he learned from his example. And he’s written it down in a new book, “Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father.” (Nine was Gordie Howe’s number and holds special meaning for both family and fans.) Fox’s Jane Metzler talks with Murray Howe about the book and his father’s legacy. Dr. Howe also discusses the Gordie Howe Initiative his dad launched to fund Alzheimer’s and other brain disease research, and to help athletes and others with severe head injuries.

The U.S. military is tracking its own cases of Zika virus as Florida continues a full-court press of prevention efforts. FOX’s Eben Brown reports from Miami: The Pentagon says 33 members of the U.S. Military are now infected with Zika, and that one of them is a pregnant female. While we know the service members were overseas when contracting the virus, the military won’t say where they are now or what treatment they are receiving. Here in Miami, officials are watching the weather. Plans to spray insecticide from an airplane this morning had to be postponed due to rain. If the weather holds up, they could try at sunset. Fifteen people in Miami, infected with Zika, have been linked to one neighborhood where mosquitoes are likely the cause of infection. In Miami, Eben Brown, FOX News.

Britain is the latest European country stepping up security in the face of a terror threat. FOX’s Simon Owen reports from the European bureau: Here in the UK, police are not routinely armed. But London’s police chief Bernard Hogan-Howe says officers with guns are going to become a more common sight: (Hogan-Howe) We’ve seen attacks in Germany, we’ve seen attacks in France and in Belgium, and I think we’d be foolish to ignore that. Hogan-Howe saying he’s increasing the number and visibility of armed police in London, saying if Britain’s enemies have guns, its police need guns as well. But despite the increase, the vast majority of London officers will continue to be unarmed. The chief saying he feels that gives police a healthier relationship with the public.

They keep throwing resources at it, but a fire near Big Sur, California keeps growing. Fox’s Jessica Rosenthal reports: The fire has now burned 57 structures, mostly homes, and after two weeks just keeps steadily growing. The fire’s now up past 45,000 acres and is still threatening hundreds of homes. Several areas remain under evacuation: (Scott) Cali Fire Law enforcement has spent over 150 hours really combing through debris, talking to individuals and were able to determine the cause of the Soberanes fire and that was an illegal unattended camp fire. Soberanes Fire spokesman Erik Scott says they’ve required so many personnel to provide structure protection to all the communities, but also as the fire moves into the forest it’s been harder and harder to access due to steep rugged terrain.

The Obama administration is defending a payment made in January to Iran, at the same time four American hostages were freed. FOX’s Jon Decker has more from the White House: Confirmation from the Obama Administration that it airlifted the equivalent of $400 million in cash to Iran this past January. Republicans call it ransom money aimed at securing the release of the four detained Americans. But State Department spokesman John Kirby on FOX News denied the cash transfer was a quid-pro-quo. (Kirby) This was a separate process. I understand that people want to draw a connection. I get that. But it’s simply not there. Kirby said the cash transfer was the first installment paid in a $1.7 billion settlement the Administration reached with Iran to resolve a failed 1979 arms deal. At the White House, Jon Decker, FOX News.
