In first, US votes against UN censure of Israel over Golan-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-November 19, 2018
United Nations (United States) (AFP) - For the first time, the United States voted Friday against an annual UN resolution condemning Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights, dropping its practice of abstaining in the vote.The non-binding resolution was adopted in a General Assembly committee by a vote of 151 to 2, with the United States and Israel the only two countries opposing the measure. Fourteen countries abstained.US Ambassador Nikki Haley called the resolution "useless" and "plainly biased against Israel," citing concerns about Iran's military role in Syria to oppose the measure."Further, the atrocities the Syrian regime continues to commit prove its lack of fitness to govern anyone. The destructive influence of the Iranian regime inside Syria presents major threats to international security," she said in a statement on the eve of the vote.Israel seized control of much of the Golan Heights from Syria in a 1967 war and later annexed it, in moves never recognized by the international community.The resolution declares that the Israeli decision to occupy and annex the Golan was "null and void," and calls on Israel to rescind that decision.Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon applauded the US shift, which he said was "another testament to the strong cooperation between the two countries."The administration of President Donald Trump has taken a strong pro-Israeli stance, defying UN resolutions by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and cutting aid to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.US ambassador to Israel David Friedman told an Israeli newspaper in September that he expected the annexed Golan Heights to remain under Israeli control "forever," and mentioned the possibility of US official recognition of the Golan as Israeli territory.During a visit to Israel in August, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said there were no discussions on such recognition.Israel and Syria, which has been embroiled in conflict since 2011, are still technically at war.Ahead of the vote, US diplomat Samantha Sutton said the US position on the status of the Golan Heights had not changed, but added that the resolution was out of touch with the situation on the ground."This resolution does nothing to address the increasing militarization of the Golan and the serious threats that confront Israel from Iran and Hezbollah's presence in the area," said Sutton.The resolution was adopted by the assembly's fourth committee on decolonization.
Take a weight off-‘Grand K,’ world’s kilogram measure being retired-Metal cylinder that has been the world’s sole true kilo since 1889 to be replaced by equation based on a physics constant-By John Leicester-TOI-NOV 20,18
VERSAILLES, France (AP) — In a historic vote, nations unanimously approved Friday a ground-breaking overhaul to the international system of measurements, coming together in a way that they fail to do on so many other issues behind new definitions for the kilogram and other key units vital for trade and science.Scientists for whom the update represents decades of work clapped, cheered and even wept as the 50-plus nations one by one said “yes” or “oui” to the update.Nobel prize winner William Phillips called it “the greatest revolution in measurement since the French revolution,” which ushered in the metric system of meters and kilograms.The so-called “Grand K” kilogram, a cylinder of polished platinum-iridium alloy that has been the world’s sole true kilo since 1889, is to be retired.Nations gathered in Versailles, west of Paris, instead approved the use of a scientific formula to define the exact weight of a kilogram. Scientists at the meeting were giddy with excitement: some even sported tattoos on their forearms to mark the moment.The change will have no discernible impact for most people. Their bathroom scales won’t get kinder and kilos and grams won’t change in supermarkets.But it will mean redundancy for the Grand K and its six official copies. The new formula-based definition of the kilogram will have multiple advantages over the precision-crafted metal lump that has set the standard for more than a century.Unlike a physical object, the formula cannot pick up particles of dust, decay with time or be dropped and damaged. It also is expected to be more accurate when measuring very, very small or very, very large masses.Even in retirement, the “Grand K” and its six official copies — collectively known as “the heir and the spares” — will still be kept in the high-security vault on the outskirts of Paris where they are stored. That’s because scientists want to keep on studying them, to see whether their masses gradually change over time.Only exceedingly rarely have they seen the light of day since 1889, when they were taken out on a very few occasions to check whether other master kilograms that nations around the world use were still accurately calibrated, give or take the mass of a dust particle or two.The metal kilo is being replaced by a definition based on Planck’s constant, which is part of one of the most celebrated equations in physics but also devilishly difficult to explain.Suffice to say that the updated definition will, in time, spare nations the need to occasionally send their kilos back to France for calibration against the “Grand K.” Scientists instead should be able to accurately calculate an exact kilo without having to measure one lump of metal against another.
Canada's Trudeau uses Trump card to attack main political rival-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Steve Scherer-November 20, 2018
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Donald Trump is so unpopular in Canada that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is using the specter of the U.S. president to attack his conservative rival ahead of a national election set for next year.Trudeau, whose ruling Liberals have a 12-seat majority in the 338-seat parliament, calls Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer a climate change "ideologue" who stokes "fear and division" on immigration.Only 25 percent of Canadians have confidence in Trump, a fraction of the 83 percent garnered by former President Barack Obama two years ago, according to a Pew Research Center survey published last month.Trudeau and Trump have traded barbs. The U.S. president tweeted in June that the Canadian leader was "very dishonest and weak" and later threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian-made cars that he said would be the "ruination" of Canada's economy.The Conservatives led in the polls in March, but the Liberals drew ahead in July after Trudeau's spat with Trump and now hold a one-point lead in the latest survey by Ipsos Public Affairs."It's political manna from heaven (for Trudeau) to have a fight with Donald Trump," said a source familiar with the thinking of the Conservative leadership. Party officials are concerned that comparisons with Trump could turn off supporters, the source said.Scheer, still relatively unknown to voters after taking over as party leader last year, is choosing his words carefully on issues like climate change and immigration, while Trudeau is attacking his rival's position on the environment as being tantamount to Trump's.The U.S. government announced last year that it intended to formally withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate accord. Canada, a major oil and gas producer, remains committed to the agreement.Trudeau, 46, portrays Scheer as someone - like Trump - who denies climate change is man-made. Polls show Canadians overwhelmingly agree climate change is real and must be tackled.Trudeau plans to tax carbon emissions, a measure which Scheer opposes on the grounds it will force "suburban moms and dads" to spend a lot more money on gas. [nL2N1X30XO]-Speaking in Ottawa's National Gallery in front of a wall-sized picture of an old-growth forest on Oct. 29, Trudeau said Scheer's criticism shows the Conservatives want to "make pollution free again".The phrase mimicking Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan has since been repeatedly used by Liberal ministers and legislators.Scheer, 39, does not deny climate change and has said he will present his own strategy to combat carbon emissions without raising taxes by the time Canadians are due to vote on Oct. 21, 2019.While the Conservative source said the attempts to link Scheer to Trump were calculated, an official close to Trudeau declined to comment.The official said Trudeau's characterization of Scheer's position on climate change is "very factual."PRESSURE ON IMMIGRATION-Ipsos pollster Darrell Bricker said the Liberal strategy to paint Scheer as a northern Trump could work in the ruling party's favor given Canadians' "very poor view" of the U.S. leader.Scheer is also under Liberal pressure on immigration.In July, the Conservative Party withdrew an ad that had been posted on its Twitter feed showing a black asylum seeker entering Canada through a broken fence while walking over the text of a 2017 Trudeau tweet that read: "Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength."The ad alleged that Trudeau's tweet lured thousands of people into Canada from the United States to file refugee claims. Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said the Conservatives were "peddling false information to stoke fear."Canadians' view of Trump, who has adopted hard-line policies on immigration, was highlighted earlier this month when the mere presence of former Trump strategist Steve Bannon at a Toronto debate drew hundreds of protesters, resulting in 12 arrests.The protesters "were calling the audience fascists and taking their pictures and threatening to put them online," Bannon said in an interview. "It was a tough audience. They hated Trump."(Reporting by Steve Scherer; Editing by Paul Simao)
UK PM May defends Brexit deal as opponents plot no-confidence vote-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Costas Pitas and Alistair Smout-November 18, 2018
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May won the backing of the most prominent Brexiteer in her government on Friday as she fought to save a draft European Union divorce deal that has stirred up a plot to force her out of her job.More than two years after the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU, it is still unclear how, on what terms or even if the world's fifth largest economy will leave the bloc as planned on March 29, 2019.Just hours after announcing that her senior ministers had collectively backed her divorce deal, May's premiership was thrust into its most perilous crisis to date when her Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab resigned on Thursday in opposition to the agreement.Other mutinous lawmakers in her party have openly spoken of ousting her and said bluntly that the Brexit deal would not pass parliament.But May, who has defiantly vowed to stay on as prime minister, got a rare boost on Friday when Michael Gove, the most prominent Brexit-supporting minister, gave his backing to her, saying he would stay on as environment minister.Asked if he had confidence in May, Gove, who is famous for sinking former foreign minister Boris Johnson's leadership bid in 2016, told reporters: "I absolutely do.""I think it's absolutely vital that we focus on getting the right deal in the future, and making sure that in the areas that matter so much to the British people we can get a good outcome," said Gove, 51, a potential successor to May.Trade minister Liam Fox, another leading Brexit supporter, also joined Gove in backing May - but her future remains uncertain.The first question she faced on a LBC radio phone-in show to defend her deal was from a caller who asked her to "respectfully stand down". She did not immediately address that part of the caller's question.Stephen Barclay, a little-known junior health minister, was appointed as the new Brexit secretary, although the status of the role was downgraded from chief negotiator with May leading the completion of talks with the EU."He will be doing the domestic role. The PM will be completing the last 10 days of negotiations," May's spokesman said.Sterling , which has see-sawed on Brexit news since the referendum, was up half a cent against the dollar at $1.2834 on Friday.-PLOTTERS-Politicians, officials and diplomats in London openly questioned how long May had left as speculation swirled that a leadership challenge could come soon.Under Conservative Party rules, a vote must take place when 48 of her lawmakers submit letters to the party's so-called 1922 committee, chaired by a senior lawmaker, Graham Brady.Influential Brexit-supporting lawmaker Steve Baker said rebels in May's party were close to the threshold which would trigger a confidence vote. So far, at least 21 lawmakers have publicly said they have submitted letters."I think we're probably not far off," said Baker, a key figure in the Brexit-backing wing of May's party. "I think it probably is imminent, yes," he told BBC TV.British political correspondents also reported that Gove, Fox and other pro-Brexit ministers would meet this weekend to amend May's deal. However, both the Irish and Dutch prime ministers said there was little scope to change the proposals.Since winning the top job in the turmoil that followed the 2016 referendum, May's tumultuous premiership has been characterised by an obdurate flair for survival despite frequent crises.CONFIDENCE VOTE-May's de facto deputy, David Lidington, said she would win a vote of no confidence, in which she would need a simple majority of the total votes cast by her lawmakers."If those letters were to go in, I think that she would win any such vote decisively, and she'd deserve to do so," Lidington said in a broadcast clip.If May stayed on in power without a divorce deal that could be approved, the ultimate outcome of Brexit would be uncertain.Other possible scenarios for the United Kingdom include May's deal ultimately winning approval; May losing her job; Britain leaving the bloc with no agreement; or even another referendum.A snap poll by Survation of 1,070 voters for the Daily Mail newspaper found 49 percent of respondents opposed the deal and just 27 percent backed it.To leave the EU on the terms of her deal, May would need to get the backing of about 320 of parliament's 650 lawmakers. The deal is due to be discussed at an EU summit on Nov. 25.By seeking to preserve the closest possible ties with the EU, May has upset her party's many advocates of a clean break, and Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which props up her minority government."They've raised some questions with us, they've raised some concerns with us and yes we are looking at those," May said. "We are still working with the DUP."NIGHTMARE FOR BUSINESS? The EU and Britain need an agreement to keep trade flowing between the world's biggest trading bloc and the United Kingdom, home to the biggest international financial centre.Supporters of Brexit say that while the divorce might bring some short-term instability, in the longer term it will allow the United Kingdom to thrive.May told LBC radio the threat of a no deal Brexit was personal as she is Type 1 diabetic: "I depend on insulin every day. My insulin is produced by a country elsewhere in the European Union."May's spokeswoman said there had been strong business support for her draft deal but British aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce was continuing with its no-deal contingency plans.The plans include "buffer stocks so that we have all the logistical capacity that we need to carry on running our business," said Chief Executive Warren East.Proponents of closer relations with the EU in her own party and the Labour opposition say the deal squanders the advantages of membership for little gain.(Additional reporting by Andrew MacAskill, Andy Bruce, Elizabeth Piper and William James; writing by Michael Holden and Guy Faulconbridge.

Grim search for 1,276 missing after deadliest California wildfire-[Reuters]-By Terray Sylvester-YAHOONEWS-November 18, 2018
PARADISE, Calif. (Reuters) - Authorities sifted through the charred wreckage of California's deadliest ever wildfire on Sunday, searching for any signs of the 1,276 people now listed as missing after the Camp Fire tore through the mountain town of Paradise.The remains of 76 people have been recovered so far, 63 of whom have been tentatively identified pending DNA confirmation. Early on Sunday the blaze, which ignited on Nov. 8, was 60 percent contained, officials said, up from 55 percent Saturday.Rain is forecast for the area this week, potentially helping douse the flames but raising the risk of floods and mudslides, adding to the misery of 46,000 people under evacuation orders.Many refugees from the fire have taken up temporary residence with friends and relatives, while others have pitched tents or were camping out of their vehicles.The death toll far surpasses the previous fatality record from a single California wildfire - 29 in the Griffith Park fire of 1933 in Los Angeles - and already ranks among the deadliest U.S. wildfires since the turn of the last century.Eighty-seven people perished in the Big Burn firestorm that swept the Northern Rockies in August 1910. Minnesota's Cloquet Fire in October 1918 killed 450 people.In Paradise, the flames moved so fast that some victims died in their cars in a chaotic evacuation as gridlock formed on the two exit routes out of town.The Butte County Sheriff's Office said the list of the missing is compiled using information received from a special hotline, as well as emails and emergency-911 calls that came in during the first chaotic hours of the blaze.Authorities said some of those listed likely survived but have not yet notified family or officials, either because they lack phone service or were unaware anyone was looking for them.In Paradise, home to nearly 27,000 people before the Camp Fire struck, two forensic anthropologists for the University of Nevada, Reno, were helping firefighters on Saturday sort through the wreckage at a mobile home park for senior citizens.Firefighters peeled back the metal sheet of a collapsed roof as the anthropologists picked up charred bone fragments, sorting them into paper bags.Roger Fielding, chief deputy coroner with the Martin County Sheriff's Office, said each site was treated as a crime scene, with every step of recovery documented with photographs."Our job is to pick up any items that might reflect who this person might be," he said.THOUSANDS OF HOMES DESTROYED-Besides the toll on human life, property losses from the blaze make it the most destructive in California history, posing the additional challenge of providing long-term shelter for many thousands of displaced residents.At the latest count, the Camp Fire had destroyed more than 12,700 homes and other structures, authorities said on Sunday.Up to 4 inches (10 cm) of rain is expected to fall from late Tuesday through Friday in the Sierra foothills, the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center said.Rain will also drop on San Francisco, helping to clear the air filled with unhealthy levels of smoke.Patrick Burke, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland, said the rain will be a "one-two-punch.""It'll bring much needed relief to the firefighters and to the air quality, but there's a potential for dangerous mudslides wherever vegetation is burned away on slopes and hills," he said.Up to 2 inches of rain is also expected to fall on southern California this week, where the Woolsey Fire claimed at least three lives, Burke said.The Woolsey Fire was 88 percent contained on Sunday, authorities said. Full containment is expected on Thanksgiving Thursday.On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump visited Paradise and the scene of the Woolsey Fire.Trump has blamed the recent spate of fires on forest mismanagement, and he said he discussed the issue with California Governor Jerry Brown and Governor-elect Gavin Newsom.Scientists have said the growing frequency and intensity of wildfires in California and elsewhere across the U.S. West are largely attributable to prolonged drought that is symptomatic of climate change.The precise causes of the Camp and Woolsey Fires were under investigation, but electric utilities have reported equipment problems in the vicinity of both blazes around the time they erupted.PG&E Corp has said it could face liability that exceeds its insurance coverage if its equipment were found to have caused the Camp Fire.(Reporting by Terray Sylvester; Additional reporting by Rich McKay in Atlanta and Bernie Woodall in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
One man's tireless search for brother in California fires-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-Javier TOVAR-November 19, 2018
Paradise (United States) (AFP) - His mouth agape and his hands on his head in disbelief, Jhonathan Clark walks through the charred rubble that was once his home in the California town of Paradise, virtually destroyed by wildfires.It was the first time that Clark was able to survey the devastation himself -- the Camp Fire erupted a week ago, torching a wide swathe of the northern part of the state and leaving at least 63 people dead.More than 600 are still unaccounted for. Clark's brother Maurice, his sister-in-law and their six-year-old son are in that group."This isn't like Maurice just disappearing off the face of the earth and not letting anyone know," Clark, who is 19, told AFP.Relatives of those classified as missing have been asked to provide DNA samples to help with identifying the remains recovered, which are burnt beyond recognition.But Clark cannot even do that. He and Maurice are adopted.In the ashes of the home where they grew up, Clark was hoping to find a sign -- anything that would indicate that his brother was alive."We'll do whatever we can to find him dead or alive because that's what Clarks do -- we look after each other," he said, while admitting: "My dad is starting to lose hope a little bit."Clark and his girlfriend have a four-month-old daughter. They are lucky to be alive. The flames effectively wiped Paradise, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, off the map.It is believed the victims were unable to flee the fast-moving blaze or were trapped in their cars as they attempted to escape the inferno.- Getting back on his feet -Maurice -- who is tall, black and in his early 20s -- was just starting to get his life back on track, his brother recounts.Moe, as his friends and family call him, had done time in prison -- more than once -- and was living in homeless shelters before coming home to Paradise, where he moved back in with his family.He started working for his brother, who has a job in landscaping -- tree removal and weed clearing."He showed me how to work like a man," Clark says of his brother, fighting to hold back tears, though his reddened eyes gave him away.The last time the siblings spoke was a week before the fire, but Clark says neighbors have told him that they saw Maurice on the day the blaze erupted in a shop in one of the hardest-hit areas.Others said they saw Maurice afterwards in Yuba, a neighboring city, but that information turned out to be false.Despite the emotional ups and downs, and the fading likelihood of good news, Clark is trying not to lose hope."I'm still going to keep on looking and hope for the best," he says. "I just hate to think that he's one of the fatalities."But so far, the silence is deafening.- 'Cowboy without a horse' -The first thing that Clark found on the family property was his dead horse Jadis, which he was unable to save when he and his relatives evacuated."Hope you went quick. That's all I can say. I hope you went quick," says Clark of the mare. He now calls himself a "cowboy without a horse."The remains of the home sketch a faint outline of a happier past: the charred ruins of the stove and the washer/dryer. The iron frame of his parents' bed and a desk are still standing."My god, there are no words," he said. "It's hard to see everything that you've grown up around gone in a matter of just hours. The whole entire town got swept through in no time at all."Clark uses his cowboy boot to break a window pane: it was one of the only things left of his bedroom. Looking at a pile of ashes, he says he believes they were his books. His mother home-schooled him and his brother.Some tools are strewn on the ground of what was a garage. There is also a metal skeleton of a tractor -- the family had bought it just three days before the blaze.A burned-out car also remains -- it's a 1975 Mustang that Clark's father, a 74-year-old retired mechanic, always planned to restore. It was one of those projects that was on the to-do list for years. Now, it's too late.After working with trees for a few years, Clark knew enough to try to prepare the family home for the flames, but the pine trees went up quickly."With the fire this hot and that came through this quick, there was just no chance," he said.On the day of the fire, he warned his girlfriend's family, who lived next door, and other neighbors to flee as soon as possible.But he knows that many stayed behind and died. And he knows that his brother may be one of those who did not make it out.Clark was evacuated to nearby Chico.He says he will one day rebuild his home and help his neighbors, but for now, his only concern is getting some news about his loved ones -- and offering Jadis a final burial. He uses a tarp from a boat to cover the mare."She was a good horse -- stubborn, but good," he said.

Court orders White House to return CNN’s Jim Acosta’s credential-Federal judge, a Trump appointee, rules journalist will suffer ‘irreparable harm’ from the decision to bar him-By Jessica Gresko and MICHAEL BALSAMO-TOI-NOV 16,18
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to immediately return the White House press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta, saying Acosta suffered “irreparable harm” from the decision to bar him.US District Court Judge Timothy Kelly, an appointee of President Donald Trump, announced his decision following a hearing. The judge said Acosta’s credentials would be returned immediately and reactivated to allow him access to the White House.CNN had asked the judge to force the White House to return the credentials that give Acosta, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, access to the White House complex for press briefings and other events.The judge granted CNN’s request for a temporary restraining order. A lawsuit that CNN brought against the Trump administration over the issue is continuing.The White House revoked Acosta’s credentials after he and Trump tangled during a press conference last week.The judge said the government could not say who initially decided to revoke Acosta’s hard pass. The White House had spelled out its reasons for revoking his credentials in a tweet from White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and in a statement after CNN filed its lawsuit. But the judge said those “belated efforts were hardly sufficient to satisfy due process.”The judge also found that Acosta suffered “irreparable harm,” dismissing the government’s argument that CNN could simply send other reporters to cover the White House in Acosta’s place.The suit by CNN alleges that Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights were violated by suspending his hard pass. While the judge didn’t rule on the underlying case, he signaled they were likely to prevail in their claims.The judge told attorneys to file additional court papers in the case by Monday.“Let’s go back to work!” Acosta said outside the courthouse after the ruling.Trump has made his dislike of CNN clear since before he took office and continuing into his presidency. He has described the network as “fake news” both on Twitter and in public comments.At last week’s press conference, which followed the midterm elections, Trump was taking questions from reporters and called on Acosta, who asked about Trump’s statements about a caravan of migrants making its way to the US-Mexico border. After a terse exchange, Trump told Acosta, “That’s enough,” several times while calling on another reporter.Acosta attempted to ask another question about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and initially declined to give up a hand-held microphone to a White House intern. Trump responded to Acosta by saying he wasn’t concerned about the investigation, calling it a “hoax,” and then criticized Acosta, calling him a “rude, terrible person.”The White House pulled Acosta’s credentials hours later.The White House explanations for why it seized Acosta’s credentials have shifted over the last week.Sanders initially explained the decision by accusing Acosta of making improper physical contact with the intern seeking to grab the microphone.But that rationale disappeared after witnesses backed Acosta’s account that he was just trying to keep the microphone, and Sanders distributed a doctored video that made it appear Acosta was more aggressive than he actually was. On Tuesday, Sanders accused Acosta of being unprofessional by trying to dominate the questioning at the news conference.
2 arrested in Argentina for suspected ties to Hezbollah, possession of weapons-Security minister says the men were caught with a small arsenal of weapons, ‘credentials in Arabic and an image of the Hezbollah flag’-By TOI staff and Agencies-NOV 20,18
Two Argentine citizens with suspected ties to the Hezbollah terrorist group were arrested Thursday, the security minister said in a statement.Police said that in the course of the investigation, they had discovered evidence of foreign travel “along with credentials in Arabic and an image of the Hezbollah flag,” the Reuters news agency reported. No further details were given on the credentials or travel.The two men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested at a Buenos Aires residence, and were also found to be in possession of a “small arsenal” including a rifle, a shotgun and a number of handguns.US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other leaders are expected to attend the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Nov. 30-Dec 1.A G20 summit coordinator, Hernan Lombardi, said Thursday that security for the gathering was at maximum alert.A Hezbollah suicide bomber carried out the 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires. The attack, orchestrated by Iran, killed 85.Earlier this year the Argentine government targeted a Hezbollah fundraising network in the northern Triple Frontier with Brazil and Paraguay.
Palestinian indicted for planning attacks on right-wing activists-West Bank resident accused of plotting with Gaza man to kill Daniella Weiss and Moshe Zar-By TOI staff and Jacob Magid-NOV 20,18
Military prosecutors have charged a resident of the West Bank city of Qalqilya with conspiring to murder two right-wing Israeli activists, the IDF said Friday.According to the statement released by the military, Amid Ayoub Fawzi Zamari contacted a Gaza resident in July and sent him identifying details about Daniella Weiss and Moshe Zar in order for him to carry out a terror attack against the two.Zamari is alleged to have watched and photographed Zar’s home, and the entrance to the settlement in which Weiss lives.Zamari is also accused of carrying out reconnaissance activities at a Jewish religious site in the West Bank, with the aim of planting an explosive charge, but was unable to carry out his plans due to his detention by security forces.Military prosecutors have requested that Zamari be detained until the end of proceedings.Weiss praised the security forces who discovered the plot.“It does not frighten me, but it is new to me,” she said in a statement. “I am encouraged by the state and by the security forces who investigated this incident and discovered the concrete threats. When I heard about it, I thought more about how professionally the state was working, rather than about myself.”Weiss is a right-wing activist and former mayor of the settlement of Kedumim. A public supporter of the notorious hilltop youth who live in West Bank outposts, Weiss has in the past been arrested on a number of occasions for assaulting police officers.In 2015, Weiss said President Reuven Rivlin should not heed death threats against him, since he is “not nearly important enough” to merit a political assassination.Zar is a settler leader in the northern West Bank. A former member of The Jewish Underground, Zar is involved in the purchase of land for the establishment of new settlements.
Migrants in Tijuana feel squeeze from both sides of U.S. border-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Lizbeth Diaz-November 20, 2018
TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Central American migrants on Mexico's northern border are coming under pressure from two sides as the Trump administration blocks asylum to anyone entering the United States illegally, while local politicians question whether they should be in Mexico.U.S. President Donald Trump has sent almost 6,000 troops to fortify the U.S-Mexico border, and has threatened to close the frontier entirely to keep out the migrants.In addition, an order issued by Trump means migrants must now present themselves at U.S. ports of entry, such as the Mexican border city of Tijuana, to have any chance of qualifying for refugee status. The order came into effect on Saturday.City authorities say around 2,000 migrants are now in Tijuana, where some residents have not taken kindly to the arrival of the Central Americans, many of whom set out from Honduras a month ago to escape violence and poverty.More are expected to arrive this weekend.Tijuana mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum criticized the recent arrivals, describing some as "bums." He said a consultation would be held on whether the city, which lies some 17 miles (27 km) across the border from San Diego, California, should have to continue receiving the migrants.In an interview with Milenio television, Gastelum complained that migrants had been hostile to local authorities and that the federal government had failed to control its southern border when the caravan of people began entering Mexico on Oct. 19."Tijuana is now in a serious predicament," he said late on Thursday, noting that road blocks could be considered to stop more migrants from getting into the city. "It's not fair."With many relatives living in the United States, Mexicans have traditionally shown support for migrants. However, a recent survey by polling firm Consulta Mitofsky showed just over a third of Mexicans wanted the migrants to be sent home.Some of the Central Americans now clustered in the city's streets and migrant shelters were unsure what the future held.Exhausted, and stretched out on the floor of a migrant shelter, Honduran Alejandro Martinez said he did not have an alternative plan if the United States turned him away."I haven't thought about what I'll do if they don't let me in. I'm going with faith in God that everything will turn out fine," the 24-year-old Martinez said.Many migrants Reuters spoke to in the shelters were unaware of the U.S. government attempts to deter them and said they were determined to forge ahead however they could.Others are opting to stay in Mexico, which is processing 2,600 asylum requests from migrants in the caravan, the government said on Thursday.Remaining in Mexico could be an option if the United States rejects him, said Erick Cortes, a 28-year-old construction worker, who said he fled gang threats in Honduras."It could be Mexico, it could be another country. But return to Honduras? Never," he said. "I want to work so my family can get out of the hell they're in."(Reporting by Lizbeth Diaz; Writing by Daina Beth Solomon; Editing by Dave Graham and Rosalba O'Brien)

In first, US votes against UN censure of Israel over Golan-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-November 19, 2018
United Nations (United States) (AFP) - For the first time, the United States voted Friday against an annual UN resolution condemning Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights, dropping its practice of abstaining in the vote.The non-binding resolution was adopted in a General Assembly committee by a vote of 151 to 2, with the United States and Israel the only two countries opposing the measure. Fourteen countries abstained.US Ambassador Nikki Haley called the resolution "useless" and "plainly biased against Israel," citing concerns about Iran's military role in Syria to oppose the measure."Further, the atrocities the Syrian regime continues to commit prove its lack of fitness to govern anyone. The destructive influence of the Iranian regime inside Syria presents major threats to international security," she said in a statement on the eve of the vote.Israel seized control of much of the Golan Heights from Syria in a 1967 war and later annexed it, in moves never recognized by the international community.The resolution declares that the Israeli decision to occupy and annex the Golan was "null and void," and calls on Israel to rescind that decision.Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon applauded the US shift, which he said was "another testament to the strong cooperation between the two countries."The administration of President Donald Trump has taken a strong pro-Israeli stance, defying UN resolutions by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and cutting aid to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.US ambassador to Israel David Friedman told an Israeli newspaper in September that he expected the annexed Golan Heights to remain under Israeli control "forever," and mentioned the possibility of US official recognition of the Golan as Israeli territory.During a visit to Israel in August, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said there were no discussions on such recognition.Israel and Syria, which has been embroiled in conflict since 2011, are still technically at war.Ahead of the vote, US diplomat Samantha Sutton said the US position on the status of the Golan Heights had not changed, but added that the resolution was out of touch with the situation on the ground."This resolution does nothing to address the increasing militarization of the Golan and the serious threats that confront Israel from Iran and Hezbollah's presence in the area," said Sutton.The resolution was adopted by the assembly's fourth committee on decolonization.
Take a weight off-‘Grand K,’ world’s kilogram measure being retired-Metal cylinder that has been the world’s sole true kilo since 1889 to be replaced by equation based on a physics constant-By John Leicester-TOI-NOV 20,18
VERSAILLES, France (AP) — In a historic vote, nations unanimously approved Friday a ground-breaking overhaul to the international system of measurements, coming together in a way that they fail to do on so many other issues behind new definitions for the kilogram and other key units vital for trade and science.Scientists for whom the update represents decades of work clapped, cheered and even wept as the 50-plus nations one by one said “yes” or “oui” to the update.Nobel prize winner William Phillips called it “the greatest revolution in measurement since the French revolution,” which ushered in the metric system of meters and kilograms.The so-called “Grand K” kilogram, a cylinder of polished platinum-iridium alloy that has been the world’s sole true kilo since 1889, is to be retired.Nations gathered in Versailles, west of Paris, instead approved the use of a scientific formula to define the exact weight of a kilogram. Scientists at the meeting were giddy with excitement: some even sported tattoos on their forearms to mark the moment.The change will have no discernible impact for most people. Their bathroom scales won’t get kinder and kilos and grams won’t change in supermarkets.But it will mean redundancy for the Grand K and its six official copies. The new formula-based definition of the kilogram will have multiple advantages over the precision-crafted metal lump that has set the standard for more than a century.Unlike a physical object, the formula cannot pick up particles of dust, decay with time or be dropped and damaged. It also is expected to be more accurate when measuring very, very small or very, very large masses.Even in retirement, the “Grand K” and its six official copies — collectively known as “the heir and the spares” — will still be kept in the high-security vault on the outskirts of Paris where they are stored. That’s because scientists want to keep on studying them, to see whether their masses gradually change over time.Only exceedingly rarely have they seen the light of day since 1889, when they were taken out on a very few occasions to check whether other master kilograms that nations around the world use were still accurately calibrated, give or take the mass of a dust particle or two.The metal kilo is being replaced by a definition based on Planck’s constant, which is part of one of the most celebrated equations in physics but also devilishly difficult to explain.Suffice to say that the updated definition will, in time, spare nations the need to occasionally send their kilos back to France for calibration against the “Grand K.” Scientists instead should be able to accurately calculate an exact kilo without having to measure one lump of metal against another.
Canada's Trudeau uses Trump card to attack main political rival-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Steve Scherer-November 20, 2018
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Donald Trump is so unpopular in Canada that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is using the specter of the U.S. president to attack his conservative rival ahead of a national election set for next year.Trudeau, whose ruling Liberals have a 12-seat majority in the 338-seat parliament, calls Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer a climate change "ideologue" who stokes "fear and division" on immigration.Only 25 percent of Canadians have confidence in Trump, a fraction of the 83 percent garnered by former President Barack Obama two years ago, according to a Pew Research Center survey published last month.Trudeau and Trump have traded barbs. The U.S. president tweeted in June that the Canadian leader was "very dishonest and weak" and later threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian-made cars that he said would be the "ruination" of Canada's economy.The Conservatives led in the polls in March, but the Liberals drew ahead in July after Trudeau's spat with Trump and now hold a one-point lead in the latest survey by Ipsos Public Affairs."It's political manna from heaven (for Trudeau) to have a fight with Donald Trump," said a source familiar with the thinking of the Conservative leadership. Party officials are concerned that comparisons with Trump could turn off supporters, the source said.Scheer, still relatively unknown to voters after taking over as party leader last year, is choosing his words carefully on issues like climate change and immigration, while Trudeau is attacking his rival's position on the environment as being tantamount to Trump's.The U.S. government announced last year that it intended to formally withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate accord. Canada, a major oil and gas producer, remains committed to the agreement.Trudeau, 46, portrays Scheer as someone - like Trump - who denies climate change is man-made. Polls show Canadians overwhelmingly agree climate change is real and must be tackled.Trudeau plans to tax carbon emissions, a measure which Scheer opposes on the grounds it will force "suburban moms and dads" to spend a lot more money on gas. [nL2N1X30XO]-Speaking in Ottawa's National Gallery in front of a wall-sized picture of an old-growth forest on Oct. 29, Trudeau said Scheer's criticism shows the Conservatives want to "make pollution free again".The phrase mimicking Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan has since been repeatedly used by Liberal ministers and legislators.Scheer, 39, does not deny climate change and has said he will present his own strategy to combat carbon emissions without raising taxes by the time Canadians are due to vote on Oct. 21, 2019.While the Conservative source said the attempts to link Scheer to Trump were calculated, an official close to Trudeau declined to comment.The official said Trudeau's characterization of Scheer's position on climate change is "very factual."PRESSURE ON IMMIGRATION-Ipsos pollster Darrell Bricker said the Liberal strategy to paint Scheer as a northern Trump could work in the ruling party's favor given Canadians' "very poor view" of the U.S. leader.Scheer is also under Liberal pressure on immigration.In July, the Conservative Party withdrew an ad that had been posted on its Twitter feed showing a black asylum seeker entering Canada through a broken fence while walking over the text of a 2017 Trudeau tweet that read: "Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength."The ad alleged that Trudeau's tweet lured thousands of people into Canada from the United States to file refugee claims. Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said the Conservatives were "peddling false information to stoke fear."Canadians' view of Trump, who has adopted hard-line policies on immigration, was highlighted earlier this month when the mere presence of former Trump strategist Steve Bannon at a Toronto debate drew hundreds of protesters, resulting in 12 arrests.The protesters "were calling the audience fascists and taking their pictures and threatening to put them online," Bannon said in an interview. "It was a tough audience. They hated Trump."(Reporting by Steve Scherer; Editing by Paul Simao)
UK PM May defends Brexit deal as opponents plot no-confidence vote-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Costas Pitas and Alistair Smout-November 18, 2018
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May won the backing of the most prominent Brexiteer in her government on Friday as she fought to save a draft European Union divorce deal that has stirred up a plot to force her out of her job.More than two years after the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU, it is still unclear how, on what terms or even if the world's fifth largest economy will leave the bloc as planned on March 29, 2019.Just hours after announcing that her senior ministers had collectively backed her divorce deal, May's premiership was thrust into its most perilous crisis to date when her Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab resigned on Thursday in opposition to the agreement.Other mutinous lawmakers in her party have openly spoken of ousting her and said bluntly that the Brexit deal would not pass parliament.But May, who has defiantly vowed to stay on as prime minister, got a rare boost on Friday when Michael Gove, the most prominent Brexit-supporting minister, gave his backing to her, saying he would stay on as environment minister.Asked if he had confidence in May, Gove, who is famous for sinking former foreign minister Boris Johnson's leadership bid in 2016, told reporters: "I absolutely do.""I think it's absolutely vital that we focus on getting the right deal in the future, and making sure that in the areas that matter so much to the British people we can get a good outcome," said Gove, 51, a potential successor to May.Trade minister Liam Fox, another leading Brexit supporter, also joined Gove in backing May - but her future remains uncertain.The first question she faced on a LBC radio phone-in show to defend her deal was from a caller who asked her to "respectfully stand down". She did not immediately address that part of the caller's question.Stephen Barclay, a little-known junior health minister, was appointed as the new Brexit secretary, although the status of the role was downgraded from chief negotiator with May leading the completion of talks with the EU."He will be doing the domestic role. The PM will be completing the last 10 days of negotiations," May's spokesman said.Sterling , which has see-sawed on Brexit news since the referendum, was up half a cent against the dollar at $1.2834 on Friday.-PLOTTERS-Politicians, officials and diplomats in London openly questioned how long May had left as speculation swirled that a leadership challenge could come soon.Under Conservative Party rules, a vote must take place when 48 of her lawmakers submit letters to the party's so-called 1922 committee, chaired by a senior lawmaker, Graham Brady.Influential Brexit-supporting lawmaker Steve Baker said rebels in May's party were close to the threshold which would trigger a confidence vote. So far, at least 21 lawmakers have publicly said they have submitted letters."I think we're probably not far off," said Baker, a key figure in the Brexit-backing wing of May's party. "I think it probably is imminent, yes," he told BBC TV.British political correspondents also reported that Gove, Fox and other pro-Brexit ministers would meet this weekend to amend May's deal. However, both the Irish and Dutch prime ministers said there was little scope to change the proposals.Since winning the top job in the turmoil that followed the 2016 referendum, May's tumultuous premiership has been characterised by an obdurate flair for survival despite frequent crises.CONFIDENCE VOTE-May's de facto deputy, David Lidington, said she would win a vote of no confidence, in which she would need a simple majority of the total votes cast by her lawmakers."If those letters were to go in, I think that she would win any such vote decisively, and she'd deserve to do so," Lidington said in a broadcast clip.If May stayed on in power without a divorce deal that could be approved, the ultimate outcome of Brexit would be uncertain.Other possible scenarios for the United Kingdom include May's deal ultimately winning approval; May losing her job; Britain leaving the bloc with no agreement; or even another referendum.A snap poll by Survation of 1,070 voters for the Daily Mail newspaper found 49 percent of respondents opposed the deal and just 27 percent backed it.To leave the EU on the terms of her deal, May would need to get the backing of about 320 of parliament's 650 lawmakers. The deal is due to be discussed at an EU summit on Nov. 25.By seeking to preserve the closest possible ties with the EU, May has upset her party's many advocates of a clean break, and Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which props up her minority government."They've raised some questions with us, they've raised some concerns with us and yes we are looking at those," May said. "We are still working with the DUP."NIGHTMARE FOR BUSINESS? The EU and Britain need an agreement to keep trade flowing between the world's biggest trading bloc and the United Kingdom, home to the biggest international financial centre.Supporters of Brexit say that while the divorce might bring some short-term instability, in the longer term it will allow the United Kingdom to thrive.May told LBC radio the threat of a no deal Brexit was personal as she is Type 1 diabetic: "I depend on insulin every day. My insulin is produced by a country elsewhere in the European Union."May's spokeswoman said there had been strong business support for her draft deal but British aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce was continuing with its no-deal contingency plans.The plans include "buffer stocks so that we have all the logistical capacity that we need to carry on running our business," said Chief Executive Warren East.Proponents of closer relations with the EU in her own party and the Labour opposition say the deal squanders the advantages of membership for little gain.(Additional reporting by Andrew MacAskill, Andy Bruce, Elizabeth Piper and William James; writing by Michael Holden and Guy Faulconbridge.

Grim search for 1,276 missing after deadliest California wildfire-[Reuters]-By Terray Sylvester-YAHOONEWS-November 18, 2018
PARADISE, Calif. (Reuters) - Authorities sifted through the charred wreckage of California's deadliest ever wildfire on Sunday, searching for any signs of the 1,276 people now listed as missing after the Camp Fire tore through the mountain town of Paradise.The remains of 76 people have been recovered so far, 63 of whom have been tentatively identified pending DNA confirmation. Early on Sunday the blaze, which ignited on Nov. 8, was 60 percent contained, officials said, up from 55 percent Saturday.Rain is forecast for the area this week, potentially helping douse the flames but raising the risk of floods and mudslides, adding to the misery of 46,000 people under evacuation orders.Many refugees from the fire have taken up temporary residence with friends and relatives, while others have pitched tents or were camping out of their vehicles.The death toll far surpasses the previous fatality record from a single California wildfire - 29 in the Griffith Park fire of 1933 in Los Angeles - and already ranks among the deadliest U.S. wildfires since the turn of the last century.Eighty-seven people perished in the Big Burn firestorm that swept the Northern Rockies in August 1910. Minnesota's Cloquet Fire in October 1918 killed 450 people.In Paradise, the flames moved so fast that some victims died in their cars in a chaotic evacuation as gridlock formed on the two exit routes out of town.The Butte County Sheriff's Office said the list of the missing is compiled using information received from a special hotline, as well as emails and emergency-911 calls that came in during the first chaotic hours of the blaze.Authorities said some of those listed likely survived but have not yet notified family or officials, either because they lack phone service or were unaware anyone was looking for them.In Paradise, home to nearly 27,000 people before the Camp Fire struck, two forensic anthropologists for the University of Nevada, Reno, were helping firefighters on Saturday sort through the wreckage at a mobile home park for senior citizens.Firefighters peeled back the metal sheet of a collapsed roof as the anthropologists picked up charred bone fragments, sorting them into paper bags.Roger Fielding, chief deputy coroner with the Martin County Sheriff's Office, said each site was treated as a crime scene, with every step of recovery documented with photographs."Our job is to pick up any items that might reflect who this person might be," he said.THOUSANDS OF HOMES DESTROYED-Besides the toll on human life, property losses from the blaze make it the most destructive in California history, posing the additional challenge of providing long-term shelter for many thousands of displaced residents.At the latest count, the Camp Fire had destroyed more than 12,700 homes and other structures, authorities said on Sunday.Up to 4 inches (10 cm) of rain is expected to fall from late Tuesday through Friday in the Sierra foothills, the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center said.Rain will also drop on San Francisco, helping to clear the air filled with unhealthy levels of smoke.Patrick Burke, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland, said the rain will be a "one-two-punch.""It'll bring much needed relief to the firefighters and to the air quality, but there's a potential for dangerous mudslides wherever vegetation is burned away on slopes and hills," he said.Up to 2 inches of rain is also expected to fall on southern California this week, where the Woolsey Fire claimed at least three lives, Burke said.The Woolsey Fire was 88 percent contained on Sunday, authorities said. Full containment is expected on Thanksgiving Thursday.On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump visited Paradise and the scene of the Woolsey Fire.Trump has blamed the recent spate of fires on forest mismanagement, and he said he discussed the issue with California Governor Jerry Brown and Governor-elect Gavin Newsom.Scientists have said the growing frequency and intensity of wildfires in California and elsewhere across the U.S. West are largely attributable to prolonged drought that is symptomatic of climate change.The precise causes of the Camp and Woolsey Fires were under investigation, but electric utilities have reported equipment problems in the vicinity of both blazes around the time they erupted.PG&E Corp has said it could face liability that exceeds its insurance coverage if its equipment were found to have caused the Camp Fire.(Reporting by Terray Sylvester; Additional reporting by Rich McKay in Atlanta and Bernie Woodall in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
One man's tireless search for brother in California fires-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-Javier TOVAR-November 19, 2018
Paradise (United States) (AFP) - His mouth agape and his hands on his head in disbelief, Jhonathan Clark walks through the charred rubble that was once his home in the California town of Paradise, virtually destroyed by wildfires.It was the first time that Clark was able to survey the devastation himself -- the Camp Fire erupted a week ago, torching a wide swathe of the northern part of the state and leaving at least 63 people dead.More than 600 are still unaccounted for. Clark's brother Maurice, his sister-in-law and their six-year-old son are in that group."This isn't like Maurice just disappearing off the face of the earth and not letting anyone know," Clark, who is 19, told AFP.Relatives of those classified as missing have been asked to provide DNA samples to help with identifying the remains recovered, which are burnt beyond recognition.But Clark cannot even do that. He and Maurice are adopted.In the ashes of the home where they grew up, Clark was hoping to find a sign -- anything that would indicate that his brother was alive."We'll do whatever we can to find him dead or alive because that's what Clarks do -- we look after each other," he said, while admitting: "My dad is starting to lose hope a little bit."Clark and his girlfriend have a four-month-old daughter. They are lucky to be alive. The flames effectively wiped Paradise, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, off the map.It is believed the victims were unable to flee the fast-moving blaze or were trapped in their cars as they attempted to escape the inferno.- Getting back on his feet -Maurice -- who is tall, black and in his early 20s -- was just starting to get his life back on track, his brother recounts.Moe, as his friends and family call him, had done time in prison -- more than once -- and was living in homeless shelters before coming home to Paradise, where he moved back in with his family.He started working for his brother, who has a job in landscaping -- tree removal and weed clearing."He showed me how to work like a man," Clark says of his brother, fighting to hold back tears, though his reddened eyes gave him away.The last time the siblings spoke was a week before the fire, but Clark says neighbors have told him that they saw Maurice on the day the blaze erupted in a shop in one of the hardest-hit areas.Others said they saw Maurice afterwards in Yuba, a neighboring city, but that information turned out to be false.Despite the emotional ups and downs, and the fading likelihood of good news, Clark is trying not to lose hope."I'm still going to keep on looking and hope for the best," he says. "I just hate to think that he's one of the fatalities."But so far, the silence is deafening.- 'Cowboy without a horse' -The first thing that Clark found on the family property was his dead horse Jadis, which he was unable to save when he and his relatives evacuated."Hope you went quick. That's all I can say. I hope you went quick," says Clark of the mare. He now calls himself a "cowboy without a horse."The remains of the home sketch a faint outline of a happier past: the charred ruins of the stove and the washer/dryer. The iron frame of his parents' bed and a desk are still standing."My god, there are no words," he said. "It's hard to see everything that you've grown up around gone in a matter of just hours. The whole entire town got swept through in no time at all."Clark uses his cowboy boot to break a window pane: it was one of the only things left of his bedroom. Looking at a pile of ashes, he says he believes they were his books. His mother home-schooled him and his brother.Some tools are strewn on the ground of what was a garage. There is also a metal skeleton of a tractor -- the family had bought it just three days before the blaze.A burned-out car also remains -- it's a 1975 Mustang that Clark's father, a 74-year-old retired mechanic, always planned to restore. It was one of those projects that was on the to-do list for years. Now, it's too late.After working with trees for a few years, Clark knew enough to try to prepare the family home for the flames, but the pine trees went up quickly."With the fire this hot and that came through this quick, there was just no chance," he said.On the day of the fire, he warned his girlfriend's family, who lived next door, and other neighbors to flee as soon as possible.But he knows that many stayed behind and died. And he knows that his brother may be one of those who did not make it out.Clark was evacuated to nearby Chico.He says he will one day rebuild his home and help his neighbors, but for now, his only concern is getting some news about his loved ones -- and offering Jadis a final burial. He uses a tarp from a boat to cover the mare."She was a good horse -- stubborn, but good," he said.

Court orders White House to return CNN’s Jim Acosta’s credential-Federal judge, a Trump appointee, rules journalist will suffer ‘irreparable harm’ from the decision to bar him-By Jessica Gresko and MICHAEL BALSAMO-TOI-NOV 16,18
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to immediately return the White House press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta, saying Acosta suffered “irreparable harm” from the decision to bar him.US District Court Judge Timothy Kelly, an appointee of President Donald Trump, announced his decision following a hearing. The judge said Acosta’s credentials would be returned immediately and reactivated to allow him access to the White House.CNN had asked the judge to force the White House to return the credentials that give Acosta, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, access to the White House complex for press briefings and other events.The judge granted CNN’s request for a temporary restraining order. A lawsuit that CNN brought against the Trump administration over the issue is continuing.The White House revoked Acosta’s credentials after he and Trump tangled during a press conference last week.The judge said the government could not say who initially decided to revoke Acosta’s hard pass. The White House had spelled out its reasons for revoking his credentials in a tweet from White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and in a statement after CNN filed its lawsuit. But the judge said those “belated efforts were hardly sufficient to satisfy due process.”The judge also found that Acosta suffered “irreparable harm,” dismissing the government’s argument that CNN could simply send other reporters to cover the White House in Acosta’s place.The suit by CNN alleges that Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights were violated by suspending his hard pass. While the judge didn’t rule on the underlying case, he signaled they were likely to prevail in their claims.The judge told attorneys to file additional court papers in the case by Monday.“Let’s go back to work!” Acosta said outside the courthouse after the ruling.Trump has made his dislike of CNN clear since before he took office and continuing into his presidency. He has described the network as “fake news” both on Twitter and in public comments.At last week’s press conference, which followed the midterm elections, Trump was taking questions from reporters and called on Acosta, who asked about Trump’s statements about a caravan of migrants making its way to the US-Mexico border. After a terse exchange, Trump told Acosta, “That’s enough,” several times while calling on another reporter.Acosta attempted to ask another question about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and initially declined to give up a hand-held microphone to a White House intern. Trump responded to Acosta by saying he wasn’t concerned about the investigation, calling it a “hoax,” and then criticized Acosta, calling him a “rude, terrible person.”The White House pulled Acosta’s credentials hours later.The White House explanations for why it seized Acosta’s credentials have shifted over the last week.Sanders initially explained the decision by accusing Acosta of making improper physical contact with the intern seeking to grab the microphone.But that rationale disappeared after witnesses backed Acosta’s account that he was just trying to keep the microphone, and Sanders distributed a doctored video that made it appear Acosta was more aggressive than he actually was. On Tuesday, Sanders accused Acosta of being unprofessional by trying to dominate the questioning at the news conference.
2 arrested in Argentina for suspected ties to Hezbollah, possession of weapons-Security minister says the men were caught with a small arsenal of weapons, ‘credentials in Arabic and an image of the Hezbollah flag’-By TOI staff and Agencies-NOV 20,18
Two Argentine citizens with suspected ties to the Hezbollah terrorist group were arrested Thursday, the security minister said in a statement.Police said that in the course of the investigation, they had discovered evidence of foreign travel “along with credentials in Arabic and an image of the Hezbollah flag,” the Reuters news agency reported. No further details were given on the credentials or travel.The two men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested at a Buenos Aires residence, and were also found to be in possession of a “small arsenal” including a rifle, a shotgun and a number of handguns.US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other leaders are expected to attend the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Nov. 30-Dec 1.A G20 summit coordinator, Hernan Lombardi, said Thursday that security for the gathering was at maximum alert.A Hezbollah suicide bomber carried out the 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires. The attack, orchestrated by Iran, killed 85.Earlier this year the Argentine government targeted a Hezbollah fundraising network in the northern Triple Frontier with Brazil and Paraguay.
Palestinian indicted for planning attacks on right-wing activists-West Bank resident accused of plotting with Gaza man to kill Daniella Weiss and Moshe Zar-By TOI staff and Jacob Magid-NOV 20,18
Military prosecutors have charged a resident of the West Bank city of Qalqilya with conspiring to murder two right-wing Israeli activists, the IDF said Friday.According to the statement released by the military, Amid Ayoub Fawzi Zamari contacted a Gaza resident in July and sent him identifying details about Daniella Weiss and Moshe Zar in order for him to carry out a terror attack against the two.Zamari is alleged to have watched and photographed Zar’s home, and the entrance to the settlement in which Weiss lives.Zamari is also accused of carrying out reconnaissance activities at a Jewish religious site in the West Bank, with the aim of planting an explosive charge, but was unable to carry out his plans due to his detention by security forces.Military prosecutors have requested that Zamari be detained until the end of proceedings.Weiss praised the security forces who discovered the plot.“It does not frighten me, but it is new to me,” she said in a statement. “I am encouraged by the state and by the security forces who investigated this incident and discovered the concrete threats. When I heard about it, I thought more about how professionally the state was working, rather than about myself.”Weiss is a right-wing activist and former mayor of the settlement of Kedumim. A public supporter of the notorious hilltop youth who live in West Bank outposts, Weiss has in the past been arrested on a number of occasions for assaulting police officers.In 2015, Weiss said President Reuven Rivlin should not heed death threats against him, since he is “not nearly important enough” to merit a political assassination.Zar is a settler leader in the northern West Bank. A former member of The Jewish Underground, Zar is involved in the purchase of land for the establishment of new settlements.
Migrants in Tijuana feel squeeze from both sides of U.S. border-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Lizbeth Diaz-November 20, 2018
TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Central American migrants on Mexico's northern border are coming under pressure from two sides as the Trump administration blocks asylum to anyone entering the United States illegally, while local politicians question whether they should be in Mexico.U.S. President Donald Trump has sent almost 6,000 troops to fortify the U.S-Mexico border, and has threatened to close the frontier entirely to keep out the migrants.In addition, an order issued by Trump means migrants must now present themselves at U.S. ports of entry, such as the Mexican border city of Tijuana, to have any chance of qualifying for refugee status. The order came into effect on Saturday.City authorities say around 2,000 migrants are now in Tijuana, where some residents have not taken kindly to the arrival of the Central Americans, many of whom set out from Honduras a month ago to escape violence and poverty.More are expected to arrive this weekend.Tijuana mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum criticized the recent arrivals, describing some as "bums." He said a consultation would be held on whether the city, which lies some 17 miles (27 km) across the border from San Diego, California, should have to continue receiving the migrants.In an interview with Milenio television, Gastelum complained that migrants had been hostile to local authorities and that the federal government had failed to control its southern border when the caravan of people began entering Mexico on Oct. 19."Tijuana is now in a serious predicament," he said late on Thursday, noting that road blocks could be considered to stop more migrants from getting into the city. "It's not fair."With many relatives living in the United States, Mexicans have traditionally shown support for migrants. However, a recent survey by polling firm Consulta Mitofsky showed just over a third of Mexicans wanted the migrants to be sent home.Some of the Central Americans now clustered in the city's streets and migrant shelters were unsure what the future held.Exhausted, and stretched out on the floor of a migrant shelter, Honduran Alejandro Martinez said he did not have an alternative plan if the United States turned him away."I haven't thought about what I'll do if they don't let me in. I'm going with faith in God that everything will turn out fine," the 24-year-old Martinez said.Many migrants Reuters spoke to in the shelters were unaware of the U.S. government attempts to deter them and said they were determined to forge ahead however they could.Others are opting to stay in Mexico, which is processing 2,600 asylum requests from migrants in the caravan, the government said on Thursday.Remaining in Mexico could be an option if the United States rejects him, said Erick Cortes, a 28-year-old construction worker, who said he fled gang threats in Honduras."It could be Mexico, it could be another country. But return to Honduras? Never," he said. "I want to work so my family can get out of the hell they're in."(Reporting by Lizbeth Diaz; Writing by Daina Beth Solomon; Editing by Dave Graham and Rosalba O'Brien)
