Redacted Mueller report expected to be released by mid-April-Despite Democrats’ demand that entire 400-page report be handed to Congress, AG insists on removing information that could affect ongoing investigations-By MICHAEL BALSAMO and Eric Tucker-TOI-APR 2,19
WASHINGTON (AP) — A redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation will be sent to Congress by mid-April and will not be shared with the White House beforehand, US Attorney General William Barr said Friday.Barr’s timeline, included in a letter to the chairmen of the House and Senate judiciary committees, sets up a possible showdown with House Democrats, who are insisting they see the full report next week.In his letter, Barr said he shares a desire for Congress and the public to be able to read Mueller’s findings, which are included in the nearly 400-page report the special counsel submitted last week.Barr said US President Donald Trump would have the right to assert executive privilege over parts of the report. But he noted that Trump “has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me and, accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review.”Mueller officially concluded his investigation when he submitted the report last Friday. Two days later, Barr sent a four-page letter to Congress that detailed Mueller’s “principal conclusions.”Mueller did not find that the Trump campaign coordinated or conspired with Russia, Barr wrote, and did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided on their own that Mueller’s evidence was insufficient to establish that the president committed obstruction.Barr said he is preparing to redact multiple categories of information from the report and Mueller is helping the Justice Department identify sections that will be blacked out in the public version.Those include grand jury material, information that would compromise sensitive sources and methods; information that could affect ongoing investigations, including those referred by Mueller’s office to other Justice Department offices and information that could infringe on the personal privacy and reputation of “peripheral third parties.”“Our progress is such that I anticipate we will be in a position to release the report by mid-April, if not sooner,” Barr wrote.Barr said last week’s letter detailing Mueller’s “principal conclusions” was not intended to be an “exhaustive recounting” of the special counsel’s investigation.Barr described Mueller’s report as nearly 400 pages long, not including the tables and supporting materials, which he said sets forth Mueller’s analysis, findings and the reasons for his conclusions.“Everyone will soon be able to read it on their own,” Barr wrote. “I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion.”Asked about Barr’s commitment to release a redacted version of Mueller’s report, Trump said he has “a lot of confidence” in Barr “and if that’s what he’d like to do, I have nothing to hide.” He spoke at Mar-a-Lago, his private estate in Florida.Barr’s letter drew a quick — and critical — response from Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who had demanded the full Mueller report by April 2.Nadler, a New York Democrat, said that deadline still stands and called on Barr to join him in working to get a court order allowing the release of grand jury information to the committee, rather than spending “valuable time and resources” keeping portions of the report from Congress.“There is ample precedent for the Department of Justice sharing all of the information that the Attorney General proposes to redact to the appropriate congressional committees,” Nadler said in a statement. “Again, Congress must see the full report.”The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said he appreciated Barr’s update and looked forward to the attorney general appearing before his panel on May 1.Members of Congress will be in recess for two weeks beginning April 12, which could mean that lawmakers will be out of town when the report is delivered.

Israel reopens Gaza border crossings despite overnight rocket fire-Jerusalem moves ahead with Egyptian-brokered deal after Hamas tamps down violence at Saturday’s mass-rallies at border-By TOI staff-APR 2, 19
The two crossings between the Gaza Strip and Israel reopened Sunday morning despite rocket fire from the Palestinian territory overnight.The Erez pedestrian crossing and the Kerem Shalom commercial terminal were both shuttered last Monday after a rocket fired from Gaza toward the central Israeli village of Mishmeret destroyed a home and left seven people wounded.A fishing ban that has been in place since then was also lifted on Sunday morning.Israel committed to reopening the crossing after Hamas reined in a massive border protest on Saturday, under an informal ceasefire deal brokered by Egyptian mediators after a violent week in the coastal enclave.The new commitment to calm was challenged early Sunday, when five rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel, officials said, triggering sirens in the Eshkol region starting at about 12:40 a.m.There were no reports of injuries or damage from the rocket fire, the Eshkol Regional Council said in a statement.Israel Defense Forces planes struck at Hamas posts on the border in response, though Israeli officials were quoted in Hebrew media reports as saying the rockets were likely launched by the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad organization.The reopening of the Kerem Shalom and Erez crossings Sunday morning suggests Israeli and Hamas officials are committed to the calm, and means goods will flow once more to Gaza from Israel.Both sides, Hamas and Israel, expressed satisfaction Saturday with the relative lack of violence during the large protests along the border.Egyptian mediators, shuttling between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, have been engaged in exhaustive efforts to broker a long-term ceasefire deal. Preliminary understandings between the sides reportedly included Hamas making arrangements for preventing violence during Saturday’s protests.Earlier, an official with the terror group said the sides could reach understandings for a long-term calm “within days,” and Israeli officials were reportedly looking into easing some restrictions on the Strip in place since last week after the relative lack of violence over the weekend.Over 40,000 Palestinians took part in the rallies at the Gaza border Saturday afternoon, with some rioters throwing grenades and explosives toward the security fence as well as lobbing rocks at troops and burning tires.The enclave’s Hamas-run health ministry said three 17-year-old Palestinians were killed during the protests, while at least 300 were injured. Another Palestinian was shot and killed in the early morning before the main demonstration began, reportedly as he approached the border fence during overnight protests.Most of those hurt were lightly wounded, but three were said to suffer critical injuries.The army said soldiers responded with “riot dispersal means” as well as live fire in accordance with IDF regulations, noting that most Palestinians attending the one-year anniversary of the “March of Return” protests remained at a distance from the border.During the protests Hamas actively worked to keep protesters away from the security fence as part of the apparent understandings with Israel.IDF spokesman Ronen Manelis said Hamas had “operated with restraint not seen in the past year.”He said Israeli forces had observed hundreds of Hamas members wearing orange vests spread out between the crowd and the fence, preventing the masses from rushing toward the border.In the past, Israel has accused Hamas of encouraging the protests and using them as cover to carry out attacks on Israeli troops stationed along the frontier. Previous demonstrations have seen dozens of deaths, including among Gazans who crossed the fence with weapons.An Israeli diplomatic official said Israel was “satisfied” with Egyptian mediation efforts that had contributed to the relatively calm protests in Gaza. He also credited “Israeli policy that included strong air force attacks, severe warnings to Hamas and the massive deployment of the IDF.”Speaking to the Lebanese al-Mayadeen TV channel Saturday night, Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri said “there is a good chance of reaching understandings in the coming few days.”However, Arouri clarified that any long-term truce reached with Israel would not mean a cessation of their “resistance” efforts.“As far as we are concerned, there is no political or national commitment. We…will continue to [participate] in all national activities and [undertake] all forms of resistance against the occupation in every place on the Palestinian land,” the Hamas official said.He said the organization’s main aim was “to remove the blockade” on Gaza, which Israel and Egypt have enforced since the group took over the territory from Fatah in a violent coup in 2007. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent Hamas, a terror group that openly seeks to destroy Israel, from acquiring weapons it will use to attack it.Under the Egyptian plan, Israel is to offer economic incentives for Gaza in exchange for calm. These are said to include easing restrictions on imports and exports, extended fishing zones and more.Saturday night and Sunday morning also saw dozens of Gazans demonstrating near the border fence as part of nightly protests by so called “confusion units.” The demonstrations normally include rolling burning tires at the fence as well as hurling sound grenades and improvised explosives, and shining laser pointers at troops across the border.
Joe Biden seeks to quell storm over campaign trail kiss-Former US vice president says he has offered countless ‘expressions of affection’ in the past, but believes he never ‘acted inappropriately’-By AFP-TOI-APR 2,19
WASHINGTON, DC — Former vice president Joe Biden insisted Sunday that he had never acted inappropriately towards women, as a growing row about a kiss on the campaign trail cast a shadow over his expected run for the White House.The 76-year-old Biden is the clear favorite to win the Democrat nomination to take on US Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, even though he has yet to declare his candidacy.But several of his rivals have now weighed in on the allegations made by a former state lawmaker who recalled being “mortified” when Biden planted a “big, slow kiss” on the back of her head on the sidelines of a rally in Nevada five years ago.His 39-year-old accuser, Lucy Flores, said in a new television interview, shortly after Biden released a statement trying to quell the storm, that Biden’s behavior meant he should not run for president.“In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort. And not once — never — did I believe I acted inappropriately,” Biden said in his statement released by his spokesman on Twitter.“If it is suggested that I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention.”“I may not recall these moments the same way, and I may be surprised at what I hear. But we have arrived at an important time when women feel they can and should relate their experiences, and men should pay attention. And I will.”Flores, who was a state lawmaker at the time, had been running for the post of Nevada lieutenant governor, when Biden appeared at a rally to offer support as Barack Obama’s number two.In response to Biden’s statement, Flores said she was “glad he’s willing to listen,” but added that his behavior should rule him out from seeking the Democrat nomination against a president who has himself faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment.“For me, it’s disqualifying,” she told CNN.“Yes, of course, I want him to change his behavior. And I want him to acknowledge this was wrong. I want this to be a bigger discussion about how there is no accountability structure within our political space either for instances in which women feel that there was inappropriate behavior or more serious instances.”Biden has previously acknowledged that his “tactile” behavior could land him in trouble, especially in the #MeToo era, which has already torpedoed the careers of several US politicians, including the former Democrat senator Al Franken.

Bahraini MPs seethe as Israelis set to speak at April conference-Local lawmakers oppose visitors from Jewish state, including Israel Innovation Authority deputy; parliament stresses support for ’cause of the brotherly Palestinian people’-By AFP-TOI-APR 2,19
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Several Israeli speakers are to appear at a business conference in Bahrain next month, a move condemned by MPs in the tiny Gulf state Sunday.At least three Israeli speakers, including the Israel Innovation Authority’s deputy chief, Anya Eldan, are scheduled to speak at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Manama, according to the forum’s website.Members of parliament said Sunday they were against hosting Israeli speakers in Bahrain, which — like most Arab states — does not recognize the Jewish state.“Parliament stresses its support for the just cause of the brotherly Palestinian people, and it will remain a priority for the Bahraini and Arab people,” it said in a statement published on its official Facebook page.“The end of the Israeli occupation and the withdrawal from all Arab land is an absolute necessity for the stability and security of the region and for a fair and comprehensive peace.”Officially, Israel only has diplomatic relations with two Arab states, neighboring Egypt and Jordan.It has, however, recently seen increased behind-the-scenes cooperation with some Arab countries, particularly in tackling their shared enemy, Iran.Bahrain’s foreign minister, Sheikh Khalid al-Khalifa, last year backed Israel’s right to “defend itself,” after its military said it struck dozens of Iranian military targets in Syria.He said Iran had “breached the status quo in the region and invaded countries with its forces and missiles.”“Any state in the region, including Israel, is entitled to defend itself by destroying sources of danger,” he wrote on Twitter-Also in 2018, Bahrain hosted a UNESCO conference attended by an Israeli delegation.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Hiker from Palestinian city found dead in West Bank-Nablus resident’s remains discovered in Qana River; human bones also found in a cave in Darga River during search-By Stuart Winer-TOI-APR 2,19
A Palestinian hiker was found dead Sunday by rescue teams, a day after he went missing, police said.The body of the man, from the Palestinian city of Nablus, was discovered on the side of a mountain along the Qana River in the northwest region of the West Bank.A medical team pronounced the man dead at the scene.His family were informed of his death, the statement said. The hiker was not identified.Dozens of rescue unit volunteers participated in searches for the man, which began the previous day and were conducted in difficult stormy conditions, with the assistance of a helicopter and a drone, police said.On Saturday, during sweeps for the missing hiker, rescue teams also found human bones in a cave along the Darga River. Police forensic teams arrived to gather evidence, and the bones were transferred to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute for identification.
Upstart liberal activist elected Slovakia’s 1st female president-Zuzana Caputova, 45, had led an environmental campaign, backs gay rights and access to abortion in the conservative Catholic nation-By AP-TOI-APR 2,19
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — A liberal environmental activist has been elected as the first female president of Slovakia.Relative newcomer Zuzana Caputova had 58 percent of the vote with almost 95% of returns counted in Saturday’s runoff election, topping European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic, who had 42%.Sefcovic conceded defeat and congratulated his rival.“I’m extremely happy about the result,” Caputova said. “It’s an extremely strong mandate for me,” she said.“Zuzana, Zuzana,” her supporters chanted.Caputova, 45, has little experience in politics and attracted voters who are appalled by corruption and mainstream politics.She only recently became vice chairman of Progressive Slovakia, a party so new it has not had a chance to run in parliamentary elections. Caputova resigned from her party post after winning the first round of the presidential vote two weeks ago.She becomes Slovakia’s fifth president since the country gained independence after the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993.The president of the nation of 5.4 million people has the power to pick the prime minister, appoint Constitutional Court judges and veto laws. Parliament can override the veto with a simple majority, however. The government, led by the prime minister, possesses most executive powers.A lawyer by profession, Caputova is a rising star of Slovak politics. She became known for leading a successful fight against a toxic waste dump in her hometown of Pezinok, for which she received the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize in 2016.A divorced mother of two, she is in favor of gay rights and opposes a ban on abortion in this conservative Roman Catholic country.She was also part of a campaign in 2017 that led to the annulment of pardons granted by former authoritarian Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar.Sefcovic, 52, is a career diplomat who was supported by the leftist Smer-Social Democracy party led by former populist Prime Minister Robert Fico, a major force in Slovak politics that was tarnished by corruption scandals. He campaigned on a traditional family values ticket.Popular incumbent Andrej Kiska, who did not stand for a second term, backed Caputova in the vote.The two had supported the massive anti-government street protests last year triggered by the slayings of an investigative reporter and his fiancee that led to the fall of Fico’s coalition government. Investigators have linked Jan Kuciak’s death to his work probing possible widespread government corruption.Fico’s party has already suffered losses in local elections in November — the first votes since the anti-government demonstrations, which were themselves largest protests seen in the country since the anti-Communist Velvet Revolution of 1989.
Turks vote in test for Erdogan as recession hits home-In local elections, Turkish president and his Justice and Development party risk losing Ankara — and even Istanbul-By AFP-TOI-APR 2,19
Turkey began voting in local elections on Sunday in a test for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with his party risking defeat in the capital amid an economic slowdown.Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) have won every vote since the party first came to power in 2002 but this time, analysts say the party could lose Ankara and even Istanbul.Polling stations opened in Diyarbakir and other cities of eastern Turkey at 4:00 a.m. GMT, an AFP correspondent said, with voting in Istanbul, Ankara and other cities getting underway an hour later.It is the first municipal poll since Turks approved constitutional reforms in 2017 to create an executive presidency that gave Erdogan wider powers, and follows general elections last year.But Erdogan, whose ability to win continuously in the ballot box is unparalleled in Turkish history, is more vulnerable with the country’s economy in recession, unemployment up and inflation in double digits.Much of the AKP’s success has been down to his perceived economic prowess, but days before the vote, the Turkish lira has been sliding again, provoking memories of the 2018 currency crisis that badly hurt Turkish households.Erdogan, who is aware of his potential weakness and was previously the mayor of Istanbul, has campaigned across Turkey every day though he is not on the ballot.Since Friday, he has held more than a dozen rallies in different Istanbul districts.Voters are to elect scores of mayors, municipal councils and other local officials.“Citizens are suffering because of the economic problems,” Dervis Dikmen, 60, told AFP at an opposition rally in the southern city of Mersin. “Citizens cannot buy anything.”“I’m a trader, I’m retired but I’ve never seen a downturn like this,” he said.Charges of an unfair vote-For his supporters however, Erdogan remains the strong leader Turkey needs and they tout the country’s economic development in the decade and a half that he and the AKP have been in power.But rights activists and even Turkey’s Western allies say that under his leadership the government has steadily eroded democracy, especially after a failed 2016 coup that led to tens of thousands of people being arrested.The vote will be the first time since 2002 that the AKP is fielding candidates with its alliance partner, the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).The opposition pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) has refused to field candidates in several cities, saying the elections are unfair. Some of its leaders have been jailed on terror charges, accusations they reject.Critics say that with most media either pro-government or controlled by Erdogan supporters, opposition parties campaigned at a disadvantage because Erdogan’s rallies dominated TV coverage.For Gareth Jenkins, a non-resident senior research fellow at the Silk Road Studies Program, regardless of what happens on Sunday, “it has been several years since we have had anything resembling a fair election in Turkey.“What has happened during the campaign for Sunday’s local elections is unprecedented and demonstrates that — unlike during its first years in power — the AKP is no longer confident of being able to win a fair election. And it is almost certainly right.”-‘Boss of economy’-The AKP aims to win Istanbul and Ankara, with Erdogan fielding his ex-prime minister and loyalist Binali Yildirim for the country’s biggest city and economic hub.But in Ankara, Mansur Yavas — candidate for the opposition Republican People’s Party CHP and the nationalist Good Party — might have a stronger chance of winning, according to recent polls.Looking to rally conservative Turks, Erdogan’s message targeted opponents as enemies of the country, tying them to PKK Kurdish militants.But with inflation at just under 20 percent and unemployment at a near 10-year high in December, he has also sought to reassure voters the economy is under control.“I am the boss of the economy right now as the president of this country,” Erdogan told a rally on Saturday. “We are in charge of the economy.”He has described the lira’s fluctuations as part of a plot led by the United States to “corner Turkey.”Ayse Ayata, a political science professor at Middle East Technical University, said that after the vote, “the economy will take precedence and there will certainly be significant austerity measures.”The Turkish finance minister, Erdogan’s son-in-law Berat Albayrak, said economic reforms would be announced the week of April 8.But Bulent Aliriza of the US-based Center for Strategic & International Studies, wrote in a report that it was still unclear whether Erdogan’s oratory skills and AKP advantages, “which invariably produced electoral success in the past, will overcome voters’ growing concerns over the economy.”

Exclusive: More than 1 million acres of U.S. cropland ravaged by floods-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By P.J. Huffstutter and Humeyra Pamuk-March 30, 2019
CHICAGO/COLUMBUS, Neb. (Reuters) - At least 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) of U.S. farmland were flooded after the "bomb cyclone" storm left wide swaths of nine major grain producing states under water this month, satellite data analyzed by Gro Intelligence for Reuters showed.Farms from the Dakotas to Missouri and beyond have been under water for a week or more, possibly impeding planting and damaging soil. The floods, which came just weeks before planting season starts in the Midwest, will likely reduce corn, wheat and soy production this year."There's thousands of acres that won't be able to be planted," Ryan Sonderup, 36, of Fullerton, Nebraska, who has been farming for 18 years, said in a recent interview."If we had straight sunshine now until May and June, maybe it can be done, but I don't see how that soil gets back with expected rainfall."Spring floods could yet impact an even bigger area of cropland. The U.S. government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned of what could be an "unprecedented flood season" as it forecasts heavy spring rains. Rivers may swell further as a deep snow pack in northern growing areas melts.The bomb cyclone of mid-March was the latest blow to farmers suffering from years of falling income and lower exports because of the U.S.-China trade war.Fields are strewn with everything from silt and sand to tires and some may not even be farmed this year. The water has also destroyed billions of dollars of old crops that were in storage, as well as damaging roads and railways.Justin Mensik, a fifth-generation farmer of corn and soybeans in Morse Bluff, Nebraska, said rebuilding roads was the first priority. Then farmers would need to bring in fertilizer trucks and then test soil before seeding, Mensik said.The flood "left a lot of silt and sand and mud in our fields, now we're not too sure if we're going to be able to get a good crop this year with all the new mud and junk that's just laying here," Mensik told Reuters.CORN CONCERN-For farmers, "the biggest concern right now is corn planting," said Aaron Saeugling, an agriculture expert at Iowa State University who does outreach with farmers. "There is just not going to be enough time to move a lot of that debris."To be fully covered by crop insurance, Iowa farmers must plant corn by May 31 and soybeans by June 15, as yields decline dramatically when planted any later. Deadlines vary state by state. The insurance helps ensure a minimum price farmers will receive when they book sales for their crops.The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecast on Friday farmers would increase corn plantings by 4.1 percent from last year, but the estimate did not account for the flooding.Nearly 1.1 million acres of cropland and more than 84,000 acres of pastureland in the U.S. Midwest had flood water on it for at least seven days between March 8 and March 21, according to a preliminary analysis of government and satellite data by New-York based Gro Intelligence at the request of Reuters. The extent of the flooding had previously not been made public.The flooded acreage represents less than 1 percent of U.S. land used to grow corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cotton, sorghum and barley. In 2018, some 240 million total acres of these crops were planted in the United States, USDA data shows.Iowa, the top U.S. corn and No. 2 soy producing state, had the most water, covering 474,271 acres, followed by Missouri with 203,188 acres, according to Gro Intelligence. That was in line with estimates given to Reuters this week by government officials in Iowa and Missouri.Gro Intelligence used satellite data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Near Real-Time Global Flood Mapping product, to calculate the approximate extent and intensity of flooding.Gro Intelligence then identified how much of this area was either cropland or pastureland, according to data from the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).Gro Intelligence analysts cautioned the satellite imagery did not show the full extent of flooding in Nebraska, where officials declined to provide acreage estimates to Reuters, or in North Dakota. Nebraska's governor has said the floods caused agricultural damage of $1 billion in his state.Cloud cover or snow on the ground makes it difficult to identify the flood waters in NASA satellite data, said Sara Menker, chief executive of the agricultural artificial intelligence company.LOST CATTLE-In Missouri, floodwaters covered roughly 200,000 acres in five northwest counties adjoining the Missouri River as of Wednesday morning, said Charlie Rahm, spokesman for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Columbia.In Wisconsin more than 1,000 dairy and beef animals were lost during winter storms and 480 agricultural structures collapsed or damaged, according to an email from Sandy Chalmers, executive director of the Wisconsin state office of the USDA’s Farm Service Agency.In the Dakotas and Minnesota, melting snows in coming months will put spring wheat planting at risk. Gro Intelligence found nearly 160,000 acres have already been flooded in Minnesota."That's yet to come and we will deal with that at least until the middle of April," said Dave Nicolai, an agriculture expert at the University of Minnesota.(Reporting by P.J.

Redacted Mueller report expected to be released by mid-April-Despite Democrats’ demand that entire 400-page report be handed to Congress, AG insists on removing information that could affect ongoing investigations-By MICHAEL BALSAMO and Eric Tucker-TOI-APR 2,19
WASHINGTON (AP) — A redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation will be sent to Congress by mid-April and will not be shared with the White House beforehand, US Attorney General William Barr said Friday.Barr’s timeline, included in a letter to the chairmen of the House and Senate judiciary committees, sets up a possible showdown with House Democrats, who are insisting they see the full report next week.In his letter, Barr said he shares a desire for Congress and the public to be able to read Mueller’s findings, which are included in the nearly 400-page report the special counsel submitted last week.Barr said US President Donald Trump would have the right to assert executive privilege over parts of the report. But he noted that Trump “has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me and, accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review.”Mueller officially concluded his investigation when he submitted the report last Friday. Two days later, Barr sent a four-page letter to Congress that detailed Mueller’s “principal conclusions.”Mueller did not find that the Trump campaign coordinated or conspired with Russia, Barr wrote, and did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided on their own that Mueller’s evidence was insufficient to establish that the president committed obstruction.Barr said he is preparing to redact multiple categories of information from the report and Mueller is helping the Justice Department identify sections that will be blacked out in the public version.Those include grand jury material, information that would compromise sensitive sources and methods; information that could affect ongoing investigations, including those referred by Mueller’s office to other Justice Department offices and information that could infringe on the personal privacy and reputation of “peripheral third parties.”“Our progress is such that I anticipate we will be in a position to release the report by mid-April, if not sooner,” Barr wrote.Barr said last week’s letter detailing Mueller’s “principal conclusions” was not intended to be an “exhaustive recounting” of the special counsel’s investigation.Barr described Mueller’s report as nearly 400 pages long, not including the tables and supporting materials, which he said sets forth Mueller’s analysis, findings and the reasons for his conclusions.“Everyone will soon be able to read it on their own,” Barr wrote. “I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion.”Asked about Barr’s commitment to release a redacted version of Mueller’s report, Trump said he has “a lot of confidence” in Barr “and if that’s what he’d like to do, I have nothing to hide.” He spoke at Mar-a-Lago, his private estate in Florida.Barr’s letter drew a quick — and critical — response from Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who had demanded the full Mueller report by April 2.Nadler, a New York Democrat, said that deadline still stands and called on Barr to join him in working to get a court order allowing the release of grand jury information to the committee, rather than spending “valuable time and resources” keeping portions of the report from Congress.“There is ample precedent for the Department of Justice sharing all of the information that the Attorney General proposes to redact to the appropriate congressional committees,” Nadler said in a statement. “Again, Congress must see the full report.”The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said he appreciated Barr’s update and looked forward to the attorney general appearing before his panel on May 1.Members of Congress will be in recess for two weeks beginning April 12, which could mean that lawmakers will be out of town when the report is delivered.

Israel reopens Gaza border crossings despite overnight rocket fire-Jerusalem moves ahead with Egyptian-brokered deal after Hamas tamps down violence at Saturday’s mass-rallies at border-By TOI staff-APR 2, 19
The two crossings between the Gaza Strip and Israel reopened Sunday morning despite rocket fire from the Palestinian territory overnight.The Erez pedestrian crossing and the Kerem Shalom commercial terminal were both shuttered last Monday after a rocket fired from Gaza toward the central Israeli village of Mishmeret destroyed a home and left seven people wounded.A fishing ban that has been in place since then was also lifted on Sunday morning.Israel committed to reopening the crossing after Hamas reined in a massive border protest on Saturday, under an informal ceasefire deal brokered by Egyptian mediators after a violent week in the coastal enclave.The new commitment to calm was challenged early Sunday, when five rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel, officials said, triggering sirens in the Eshkol region starting at about 12:40 a.m.There were no reports of injuries or damage from the rocket fire, the Eshkol Regional Council said in a statement.Israel Defense Forces planes struck at Hamas posts on the border in response, though Israeli officials were quoted in Hebrew media reports as saying the rockets were likely launched by the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad organization.The reopening of the Kerem Shalom and Erez crossings Sunday morning suggests Israeli and Hamas officials are committed to the calm, and means goods will flow once more to Gaza from Israel.Both sides, Hamas and Israel, expressed satisfaction Saturday with the relative lack of violence during the large protests along the border.Egyptian mediators, shuttling between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, have been engaged in exhaustive efforts to broker a long-term ceasefire deal. Preliminary understandings between the sides reportedly included Hamas making arrangements for preventing violence during Saturday’s protests.Earlier, an official with the terror group said the sides could reach understandings for a long-term calm “within days,” and Israeli officials were reportedly looking into easing some restrictions on the Strip in place since last week after the relative lack of violence over the weekend.Over 40,000 Palestinians took part in the rallies at the Gaza border Saturday afternoon, with some rioters throwing grenades and explosives toward the security fence as well as lobbing rocks at troops and burning tires.The enclave’s Hamas-run health ministry said three 17-year-old Palestinians were killed during the protests, while at least 300 were injured. Another Palestinian was shot and killed in the early morning before the main demonstration began, reportedly as he approached the border fence during overnight protests.Most of those hurt were lightly wounded, but three were said to suffer critical injuries.The army said soldiers responded with “riot dispersal means” as well as live fire in accordance with IDF regulations, noting that most Palestinians attending the one-year anniversary of the “March of Return” protests remained at a distance from the border.During the protests Hamas actively worked to keep protesters away from the security fence as part of the apparent understandings with Israel.IDF spokesman Ronen Manelis said Hamas had “operated with restraint not seen in the past year.”He said Israeli forces had observed hundreds of Hamas members wearing orange vests spread out between the crowd and the fence, preventing the masses from rushing toward the border.In the past, Israel has accused Hamas of encouraging the protests and using them as cover to carry out attacks on Israeli troops stationed along the frontier. Previous demonstrations have seen dozens of deaths, including among Gazans who crossed the fence with weapons.An Israeli diplomatic official said Israel was “satisfied” with Egyptian mediation efforts that had contributed to the relatively calm protests in Gaza. He also credited “Israeli policy that included strong air force attacks, severe warnings to Hamas and the massive deployment of the IDF.”Speaking to the Lebanese al-Mayadeen TV channel Saturday night, Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri said “there is a good chance of reaching understandings in the coming few days.”However, Arouri clarified that any long-term truce reached with Israel would not mean a cessation of their “resistance” efforts.“As far as we are concerned, there is no political or national commitment. We…will continue to [participate] in all national activities and [undertake] all forms of resistance against the occupation in every place on the Palestinian land,” the Hamas official said.He said the organization’s main aim was “to remove the blockade” on Gaza, which Israel and Egypt have enforced since the group took over the territory from Fatah in a violent coup in 2007. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent Hamas, a terror group that openly seeks to destroy Israel, from acquiring weapons it will use to attack it.Under the Egyptian plan, Israel is to offer economic incentives for Gaza in exchange for calm. These are said to include easing restrictions on imports and exports, extended fishing zones and more.Saturday night and Sunday morning also saw dozens of Gazans demonstrating near the border fence as part of nightly protests by so called “confusion units.” The demonstrations normally include rolling burning tires at the fence as well as hurling sound grenades and improvised explosives, and shining laser pointers at troops across the border.
Joe Biden seeks to quell storm over campaign trail kiss-Former US vice president says he has offered countless ‘expressions of affection’ in the past, but believes he never ‘acted inappropriately’-By AFP-TOI-APR 2,19
WASHINGTON, DC — Former vice president Joe Biden insisted Sunday that he had never acted inappropriately towards women, as a growing row about a kiss on the campaign trail cast a shadow over his expected run for the White House.The 76-year-old Biden is the clear favorite to win the Democrat nomination to take on US Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, even though he has yet to declare his candidacy.But several of his rivals have now weighed in on the allegations made by a former state lawmaker who recalled being “mortified” when Biden planted a “big, slow kiss” on the back of her head on the sidelines of a rally in Nevada five years ago.His 39-year-old accuser, Lucy Flores, said in a new television interview, shortly after Biden released a statement trying to quell the storm, that Biden’s behavior meant he should not run for president.“In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort. And not once — never — did I believe I acted inappropriately,” Biden said in his statement released by his spokesman on Twitter.“If it is suggested that I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention.”“I may not recall these moments the same way, and I may be surprised at what I hear. But we have arrived at an important time when women feel they can and should relate their experiences, and men should pay attention. And I will.”Flores, who was a state lawmaker at the time, had been running for the post of Nevada lieutenant governor, when Biden appeared at a rally to offer support as Barack Obama’s number two.In response to Biden’s statement, Flores said she was “glad he’s willing to listen,” but added that his behavior should rule him out from seeking the Democrat nomination against a president who has himself faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment.“For me, it’s disqualifying,” she told CNN.“Yes, of course, I want him to change his behavior. And I want him to acknowledge this was wrong.

Bahraini MPs seethe as Israelis set to speak at April conference-Local lawmakers oppose visitors from Jewish state, including Israel Innovation Authority deputy; parliament stresses support for ’cause of the brotherly Palestinian people’-By AFP-TOI-APR 2,19
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Several Israeli speakers are to appear at a business conference in Bahrain next month, a move condemned by MPs in the tiny Gulf state Sunday.At least three Israeli speakers, including the Israel Innovation Authority’s deputy chief, Anya Eldan, are scheduled to speak at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Manama, according to the forum’s website.Members of parliament said Sunday they were against hosting Israeli speakers in Bahrain, which — like most Arab states — does not recognize the Jewish state.“Parliament stresses its support for the just cause of the brotherly Palestinian people, and it will remain a priority for the Bahraini and Arab people,” it said in a statement published on its official Facebook page.“The end of the Israeli occupation and the withdrawal from all Arab land is an absolute necessity for the stability and security of the region and for a fair and comprehensive peace.”Officially, Israel only has diplomatic relations with two Arab states, neighboring Egypt and Jordan.It has, however, recently seen increased behind-the-scenes cooperation with some Arab countries, particularly in tackling their shared enemy, Iran.Bahrain’s foreign minister, Sheikh Khalid al-Khalifa, last year backed Israel’s right to “defend itself,” after its military said it struck dozens of Iranian military targets in Syria.He said Iran had “breached the status quo in the region and invaded countries with its forces and missiles.”“Any state in the region, including Israel, is entitled to defend itself by destroying sources of danger,” he wrote on Twitter-Also in 2018, Bahrain hosted a UNESCO conference attended by an Israeli delegation.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Hiker from Palestinian city found dead in West Bank-Nablus resident’s remains discovered in Qana River; human bones also found in a cave in Darga River during search-By Stuart Winer-TOI-APR 2,19
A Palestinian hiker was found dead Sunday by rescue teams, a day after he went missing, police said.The body of the man, from the Palestinian city of Nablus, was discovered on the side of a mountain along the Qana River in the northwest region of the West Bank.A medical team pronounced the man dead at the scene.His family were informed of his death, the statement said. The hiker was not identified.Dozens of rescue unit volunteers participated in searches for the man, which began the previous day and were conducted in difficult stormy conditions, with the assistance of a helicopter and a drone, police said.On Saturday, during sweeps for the missing hiker, rescue teams also found human bones in a cave along the Darga River. Police forensic teams arrived to gather evidence, and the bones were transferred to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute for identification.
Upstart liberal activist elected Slovakia’s 1st female president-Zuzana Caputova, 45, had led an environmental campaign, backs gay rights and access to abortion in the conservative Catholic nation-By AP-TOI-APR 2,19
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — A liberal environmental activist has been elected as the first female president of Slovakia.Relative newcomer Zuzana Caputova had 58 percent of the vote with almost 95% of returns counted in Saturday’s runoff election, topping European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic, who had 42%.Sefcovic conceded defeat and congratulated his rival.“I’m extremely happy about the result,” Caputova said. “It’s an extremely strong mandate for me,” she said.“Zuzana, Zuzana,” her supporters chanted.Caputova, 45, has little experience in politics and attracted voters who are appalled by corruption and mainstream politics.She only recently became vice chairman of Progressive Slovakia, a party so new it has not had a chance to run in parliamentary elections. Caputova resigned from her party post after winning the first round of the presidential vote two weeks ago.She becomes Slovakia’s fifth president since the country gained independence after the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993.The president of the nation of 5.4 million people has the power to pick the prime minister, appoint Constitutional Court judges and veto laws. Parliament can override the veto with a simple majority, however. The government, led by the prime minister, possesses most executive powers.A lawyer by profession, Caputova is a rising star of Slovak politics. She became known for leading a successful fight against a toxic waste dump in her hometown of Pezinok, for which she received the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize in 2016.A divorced mother of two, she is in favor of gay rights and opposes a ban on abortion in this conservative Roman Catholic country.She was also part of a campaign in 2017 that led to the annulment of pardons granted by former authoritarian Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar.Sefcovic, 52, is a career diplomat who was supported by the leftist Smer-Social Democracy party led by former populist Prime Minister Robert Fico, a major force in Slovak politics that was tarnished by corruption scandals. He campaigned on a traditional family values ticket.Popular incumbent Andrej Kiska, who did not stand for a second term, backed Caputova in the vote.The two had supported the massive anti-government street protests last year triggered by the slayings of an investigative reporter and his fiancee that led to the fall of Fico’s coalition government. Investigators have linked Jan Kuciak’s death to his work probing possible widespread government corruption.Fico’s party has already suffered losses in local elections in November — the first votes since the anti-government demonstrations, which were themselves largest protests seen in the country since the anti-Communist Velvet Revolution of 1989.
Turks vote in test for Erdogan as recession hits home-In local elections, Turkish president and his Justice and Development party risk losing Ankara — and even Istanbul-By AFP-TOI-APR 2,19
Turkey began voting in local elections on Sunday in a test for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with his party risking defeat in the capital amid an economic slowdown.Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) have won every vote since the party first came to power in 2002 but this time, analysts say the party could lose Ankara and even Istanbul.Polling stations opened in Diyarbakir and other cities of eastern Turkey at 4:00 a.m. GMT, an AFP correspondent said, with voting in Istanbul, Ankara and other cities getting underway an hour later.It is the first municipal poll since Turks approved constitutional reforms in 2017 to create an executive presidency that gave Erdogan wider powers, and follows general elections last year.But Erdogan, whose ability to win continuously in the ballot box is unparalleled in Turkish history, is more vulnerable with the country’s economy in recession, unemployment up and inflation in double digits.Much of the AKP’s success has been down to his perceived economic prowess, but days before the vote, the Turkish lira has been sliding again, provoking memories of the 2018 currency crisis that badly hurt Turkish households.Erdogan, who is aware of his potential weakness and was previously the mayor of Istanbul, has campaigned across Turkey every day though he is not on the ballot.Since Friday, he has held more than a dozen rallies in different Istanbul districts.Voters are to elect scores of mayors, municipal councils and other local officials.“Citizens are suffering because of the economic problems,” Dervis Dikmen, 60, told AFP at an opposition rally in the southern city of Mersin. “Citizens cannot buy anything.”“I’m a trader, I’m retired but I’ve never seen a downturn like this,” he said.Charges of an unfair vote-For his supporters however, Erdogan remains the strong leader Turkey needs and they tout the country’s economic development in the decade and a half that he and the AKP have been in power.But rights activists and even Turkey’s Western allies say that under his leadership the government has steadily eroded democracy, especially after a failed 2016 coup that led to tens of thousands of people being arrested.The vote will be the first time since 2002 that the AKP is fielding candidates with its alliance partner, the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).The opposition pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) has refused to field candidates in several cities, saying the elections are unfair. Some of its leaders have been jailed on terror charges, accusations they reject.Critics say that with most media either pro-government or controlled by Erdogan supporters, opposition parties campaigned at a disadvantage because Erdogan’s rallies dominated TV coverage.For Gareth Jenkins, a non-resident senior research fellow at the Silk Road Studies Program, regardless of what happens on Sunday, “it has been several years since we have had anything resembling a fair election in Turkey.“What has happened during the campaign for Sunday’s local elections is unprecedented and demonstrates that — unlike during its first years in power — the AKP is no longer confident of being able to win a fair election. And it is almost certainly right.”-‘Boss of economy’-The AKP aims to win Istanbul and Ankara, with Erdogan fielding his ex-prime minister and loyalist Binali Yildirim for the country’s biggest city and economic hub.But in Ankara, Mansur Yavas — candidate for the opposition Republican People’s Party CHP and the nationalist Good Party — might have a stronger chance of winning, according to recent polls.Looking to rally conservative Turks, Erdogan’s message targeted opponents as enemies of the country, tying them to PKK Kurdish militants.But with inflation at just under 20 percent and unemployment at a near 10-year high in December, he has also sought to reassure voters the economy is under control.“I am the boss of the economy right now as the president of this country,” Erdogan told a rally on Saturday. “We are in charge of the economy.”He has described the lira’s fluctuations as part of a plot led by the United States to “corner Turkey.”Ayse Ayata, a political science professor at Middle East Technical University, said that after the vote, “the economy will take precedence and there will certainly be significant austerity measures.”The Turkish finance minister, Erdogan’s son-in-law Berat Albayrak, said economic reforms would be announced the week of April 8.But Bulent Aliriza of the US-based Center for Strategic & International Studies, wrote in a report that it was still unclear whether Erdogan’s oratory skills and AKP advantages, “which invariably produced electoral success in the past, will overcome voters’ growing concerns over the economy.”

Exclusive: More than 1 million acres of U.S. cropland ravaged by floods-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By P.J. Huffstutter and Humeyra Pamuk-March 30, 2019
CHICAGO/COLUMBUS, Neb. (Reuters) - At least 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) of U.S. farmland were flooded after the "bomb cyclone" storm left wide swaths of nine major grain producing states under water this month, satellite data analyzed by Gro Intelligence for Reuters showed.Farms from the Dakotas to Missouri and beyond have been under water for a week or more, possibly impeding planting and damaging soil. The floods, which came just weeks before planting season starts in the Midwest, will likely reduce corn, wheat and soy production this year."There's thousands of acres that won't be able to be planted," Ryan Sonderup, 36, of Fullerton, Nebraska, who has been farming for 18 years, said in a recent interview."If we had straight sunshine now until May and June, maybe it can be done, but I don't see how that soil gets back with expected rainfall."Spring floods could yet impact an even bigger area of cropland. The U.S. government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned of what could be an "unprecedented flood season" as it forecasts heavy spring rains. Rivers may swell further as a deep snow pack in northern growing areas melts.The bomb cyclone of mid-March was the latest blow to farmers suffering from years of falling income and lower exports because of the U.S.-China trade war.Fields are strewn with everything from silt and sand to tires and some may not even be farmed this year. The water has also destroyed billions of dollars of old crops that were in storage, as well as damaging roads and railways.Justin Mensik, a fifth-generation farmer of corn and soybeans in Morse Bluff, Nebraska, said rebuilding roads was the first priority. Then farmers would need to bring in fertilizer trucks and then test soil before seeding, Mensik said.The flood "left a lot of silt and sand and mud in our fields, now we're not too sure if we're going to be able to get a good crop this year with all the new mud and junk that's just laying here," Mensik told Reuters.CORN CONCERN-For farmers, "the biggest concern right now is corn planting," said Aaron Saeugling, an agriculture expert at Iowa State University who does outreach with farmers. "There is just not going to be enough time to move a lot of that debris."To be fully covered by crop insurance, Iowa farmers must plant corn by May 31 and soybeans by June 15, as yields decline dramatically when planted any later. Deadlines vary state by state. The insurance helps ensure a minimum price farmers will receive when they book sales for their crops.The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecast on Friday farmers would increase corn plantings by 4.1 percent from last year, but the estimate did not account for the flooding.Nearly 1.1 million acres of cropland and more than 84,000 acres of pastureland in the U.S. Midwest had flood water on it for at least seven days between March 8 and March 21, according to a preliminary analysis of government and satellite data by New-York based Gro Intelligence at the request of Reuters. The extent of the flooding had previously not been made public.The flooded acreage represents less than 1 percent of U.S. land used to grow corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cotton, sorghum and barley. In 2018, some 240 million total acres of these crops were planted in the United States, USDA data shows.Iowa, the top U.S. corn and No. 2 soy producing state, had the most water, covering 474,271 acres, followed by Missouri with 203,188 acres, according to Gro Intelligence. That was in line with estimates given to Reuters this week by government officials in Iowa and Missouri.Gro Intelligence used satellite data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Near Real-Time Global Flood Mapping product, to calculate the approximate extent and intensity of flooding.Gro Intelligence then identified how much of this area was either cropland or pastureland, according to data from the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).Gro Intelligence analysts cautioned the satellite imagery did not show the full extent of flooding in Nebraska, where officials declined to provide acreage estimates to Reuters, or in North Dakota. Nebraska's governor has said the floods caused agricultural damage of $1 billion in his state.Cloud cover or snow on the ground makes it difficult to identify the flood waters in NASA satellite data, said Sara Menker, chief executive of the agricultural artificial intelligence company.LOST CATTLE-In Missouri, floodwaters covered roughly 200,000 acres in five northwest counties adjoining the Missouri River as of Wednesday morning, said Charlie Rahm, spokesman for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Columbia.In Wisconsin more than 1,000 dairy and beef animals were lost during winter storms and 480 agricultural structures collapsed or damaged, according to an email from Sandy Chalmers, executive director of the Wisconsin state office of the USDA’s Farm Service Agency.In the Dakotas and Minnesota, melting snows in coming months will put spring wheat planting at risk. Gro Intelligence found nearly 160,000 acres have already been flooded in Minnesota."That's yet to come and we will deal with that at least until the middle of April," said Dave Nicolai, an agriculture expert at the University of Minnesota.(Reporting by P.J.
