After plea deal collapse,
Hunter Biden charged with illegally purchasing gun-Prosecutors accuse
the US president’s son of lying on forms to buy firearm when he declared
in 2018 that he wasn’t using drugs at the time-By Paul Handley
Today,SEP 15,23 9:06 am 2
WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President Joe
Biden’s son Hunter was indicted Thursday for illegally buying a gun when
he was using drugs, casting a new shadow over his father’s campaign for
reelection next year.Hunter Biden, 53, was charged with two counts of
making false statements when claiming on forms required for the 2018 gun
purchase that he was not using drugs illegally at the time.A third
charge said that, based on the false statements, he illegally possessed
the gun during an 11-day period in October that year.If convicted on all
three felony charges, Biden could in theory face 25 years in prison,
though in practice they are seldom punished by any jail time.In
attesting that he was not an unlawful user of drugs when he bought the
Colt Cobra revolver, Biden “knew that statement was false,” the Justice
Department said.The indictment came two days after Republicans in
Congress opened an impeachment probe against Democrat Joe Biden,
alleging that when he was vice president he benefitted financially from
his son’s foreign business dealings.The legal troubles of Hunter Biden
present a target for political rivals of his father, who is bidding for a
second term in the White House.Hunter is a Yale-trained lawyer and
lobbyist-turned-artist, but his life has been marred by alcoholism and
crack cocaine addiction.Without offering any evidence, Republicans have
accused Biden’s Justice Department of protecting his son and have
accused Weiss, a Republican appointee, of going easy on
Hunter.Representative James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky who will
be leading the impeachment inquiry, welcomed the filing of the gun
charges, calling it a “very small start.”“Mountains of evidence reveals
that Hunter Biden likely committed several felonies and Americans expect
the Justice Department to apply the law equally,” Comer
said.Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump reacted on his Truth
Social platform.This, the gun charge, is the only crime that Hunter
Biden committed that does not implicate Crooked Joe Biden,” he said.Plea
deal collapsed-But a leading Democrat, Keisha Lance Bottoms, ex-mayor
of Atlanta and a former senior adviser to Joe Biden, questioned why
Hunter had been charged.“Can anyone tell me how many people have been
federally indicted for purchasing a gun while dealing with substance
abuse issues?” Bottoms said on X, formerly known as Twitter.“I don’t
know the answer, but in my over 29 years as an attorney, I have never
heard of it.”The gun charges were filed by Justice Department special
counsel David Weiss, who has been investigating Hunter Biden since 2018
over various allegations, mostly related to his overseas business
deals.Two months ago a plea deal between Biden and Weiss, covering the
gun charge as well as alleged tax violations, went sour.Biden agreed to
plead guilty in federal court in Delaware to two minor tax charges. In
exchange, he was offered probation, as he had already paid what he owed
the government along with penalties.Weiss agreed to suspend the felony
gun charge if Biden completed “pretrial diversion,” which often involves
counseling or rehabilitation.But in a dramatic July 26 hearing, the
deal collapsed over whether Biden would have been immune from any other
charges also investigated by Weiss, including possible crimes related to
his business dealings in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere.The judge
mentioned the possibility that Biden could be charged as having acted as
a lobbyist for foreign governments without registering with the Justice
Department.Three weeks later, after the deal collapsed, Weiss dropped
the tax charges and said an indictment on the gun charge would come by
the end of September.As the 2024 election race swings into gear,
Republicans in the House of Representatives on Tuesday formally opened
an impeachment inquiry against President Biden.They alleged, without
offering hard evidence, that while vice president in 2015-2016, Biden
intervened to protect an allegedly corrupt Ukrainian energy company,
Burisma, where Hunter Biden sat on the board.Republicans allege Joe
Biden and his family reaped large sums for helping Burisma.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ISRAEL ON ROSH HASHANA 2023 FRI SEP 15.
Likud
MK makes Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman despite Netanyahu’s
warning-Eliyahu Revivo sends supporters ‘a personal and special
blessing’ from the Ukrainian city; tens of thousands expected to spend
the Jewish new year there amid Russian invasion-By ToI Staff Today,SEP
15,23 11:57 am 14
A member of the ruling Likud party traveled to
Uman for Rosh Hashanah, brushing aside Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s warning against visiting the city during the Jewish new year
amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Despite the ongoing war, tens of
thousands of mostly ultra-Orthodox Jews are expected to be in Uman for
Rosh Hashanah, which begins Friday evening and runs until Sunday at
sundown, to pray at the grave of revered Hasidic leader Rabbi Nachman of
Breslov.Ukrainian authorities have set up concrete mobile shelters and
heightened security measures in the city, which has previously been
targeted by lethal Russian airstrikes, while repeatedly advising
travelers not to make the trip this year.“From here in Uman at the grave
of the holy Rabbi Nachman, I wish to give you a personal and special
blessing of all the best wishes that one can only pray for,” Likud MK
Eliyahu Revivo wrote in a Rosh Hashanah message sent to supporters,
according to a Channel 12 news screenshot.Revivo visited Uman despite
Netanyahu’s warning last week that the pilgrimage was dangerous, even
though the government approved financial aid for such pilgrims. The
premier said that when Israel comes under missile attacks, people head
for shelter and have protection, “but [in Ukraine] — there are no
shelters and there is no protection.”“God has not always protected us,
not on European soil and not on Ukrainian soil,” Netanyahu also
said.That comment elicited outrage in Haredi circles, later leading to
several statements of condemnation and rebuttal, including a lawmaker
from the coalition’s United Torah Judaism party who accused Netanyahu of
“ignorance” and claimed it was the “Zionists,” rather than God, who
were to blame for the suffering of Jews in the Holocaust.On Thursday,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with dozens of Chabad rabbis
in the country ahead of Rosh Hashanah and reportedly said he expected
stronger backing from Israel, noting it would have made it easier for
the country to host the thousands of pilgrims heading to Uman.“He said
he told Netanyahu that there is a shortage of bomb shelters, but if
Israel would help Ukraine, there would be no need for the shelters,” one
of the rabbis at the meeting told The Times of Israel.“I will try to
take care of Israelis on their way to Uman,” Israel’s Channel 12
reported Zelensky as saying, citing two people who were present. “But if
Israel were to agree to send Iron Dome, there would be a way to protect
those Israelis. The responsibility to protect them is also the Israeli
government’s but it doesn’t do so.”The Ynet news site also reported the
remarks, without citing sources.Zelensky, who is Jewish himself, handed
out decorations to 15 Jewish soldiers at the event, organized by the
Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine and its head, Rabbi Meir
Stambler.Israel has been working with Ukraine on deploying a civilian
aerial warning system to alert the population to an incoming attack, but
without the interceptor component that destroys incoming rockets.The
system is expected to initially cover much of Kyiv, before hopefully
being copied in other cities.Iran is supplying ally Russia with attack
drones that Ukraine wants to shoot down with the Iron Dome.
Ukraine
has long sought missile interceptor capabilities, but Israel has so far
refused, seeking to avoid overly antagonizing Russia. This hesitance is
seen as linked to Israel’s strategic need to maintain freedom of
operations in Syria, where Russian forces largely control the airspace.
Israel
is one of the few countries that maintains relatively good relations
with both Ukraine, a fellow Western democracy, and Russia.
Global
Jewish population hits 15.7 million ahead of new year, 46% of them in
Israel-Data released by Jewish Agency on eve of Rosh Hashanah shows
number of Jews worldwide grew by 100,000 over past year-By ToI Staff
Today, 8:38 am 0-SEP 15,23
The global Jewish population climbed
to 15.7 million over the last year, while the number of those living in
Israel hit 7.2 million, according to figures the Jewish Agency released
on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.The data showed that the global Jewish
population grew by some 100,000 over the past year. Israel accounts for
46 percent of the world Jewry, similar to the previous year, with 8.5
million living in communities in the Diaspora.
Following Israel, the
United States has the second-largest Jewish population with around 6.3
million.The countries with the next 10 largest Jewish populations are
France (440,000), Canada (398,000), the United Kingdom (312,000),
Argentina (171,000), Russia (132,000), Germany (125,000), Australia
(117,200), and Brazil (90,000). The figures were based on estimates by
Prof. Sergio Della Pergola of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The
Jewish Agency said some 27,000 Jews live in Muslim-majority countries,
with 14,200 in Turkey, 9,100 in Iran, 2,100 in Morocco, 1,000 in
Tunisia, and 500 in the United Arab Emirates.There were 80 countries in
the world with Jewish populations between 100 and 10,000 people.The
statistics are based on self-identification as Jewish and not as any
other religion. According to the Jewish Agency, when also including
those eligible to get citizenship under Israel’s Law of Return, which
requires at least one Jewish grandparent, there are 25.5 million Jews
worldwide.
Flooding death toll soars to 11,300 in Libya’s coastal
city of Derna, aid group says-Search efforts underway following massive
flood in coastal city fed by breaching of two dams in heavy rains
caused by Mediterranean storm Daniel-By AP Today, 4:03 am 0-EP 15,23
DERNA,
Libya — The death toll in Libya’s coastal city of Derna has soared to
11,300 as search efforts continue following a massive flood fed by the
breaching of two dams in heavy rains, the Libyan Red Crescent said
Thursday.Marie el-Drese, the aid group’s secretary-general, told The
Associated Press by phone that a further 10,100 people are reported
missing in the Mediterranean city. Health authorities previously put the
death toll in Derna at 5,500. The storm also killed about 170 people
elsewhere in the country.The flooding swept away entire families in
Derna on Sunday night and exposed vulnerabilities in the oil-rich
country that has been mired in conflict since a 2011 uprising that
toppled long-ruling dictator Muammar Gaddafi.Here’s a look at where
things stand:Daniel, an unusually strong Mediterranean storm, caused
deadly flooding in communities across eastern Libya, but the worst-hit
was Derna. As the storm pounded the coast Sunday night, residents said
they heard loud explosions when two dams outside the city collapsed.
Floodwaters gushed down Wadi Derna, a valley that cuts through the city,
crashing through buildings and washing people out to sea.A UN official
said Thursday that most casualties could have been avoided.This
combination of satellite images from Maxar Technologies shows a coastal
roadway in Derna, Libya, on July 1, 2023, top, and the same flood
damaged area on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023. The destruction came to Derna
and other parts of eastern Libya on Sunday night, Sept. 10, 2023. As
the storm pounded the coast, Derna residents said they heard loud
explosions and realized that dams outside the city had collapsed. “If
there would have been a normal operating meteorological service, they
could have issued the warnings,” World Meteorological Organization head
Petteri Taalas told reporters in Geneva. “The emergency management
authorities would have been able to carry out the evacuation.”The WMO
said earlier this week that the National Meteorological Center issued
warnings 72 hours before the flooding, notifying all governmental
authorities by email and through media.Officials in eastern Libya warned
the public about the coming storm, and on Saturday, they ordered
residents to evacuate coastal areas, fearing a surge from the sea. But
there was no warning about the dams collapsing.HOW DOES CONFLICT IN
LIBYA AFFECT THE DISASTER? The startling devastation reflected the
storm’s intensity, but also Libya’s vulnerability. Oil-rich Libya has
been divided between rival governments for most of the past decade — one
in the east, the other in the capital, Tripoli — and one result has
been the widespread neglect of infrastructure.The two dams that
collapsed outside Derna were built in the 1970s. A report by a state-run
audit agency in 2021 said the dams had not been maintained despite the
allocation of more than 2 million euros for that purpose in 2012 and
2013.Libya’s Tripoli-based prime minister, Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah,
acknowledged the maintenance issues during a Cabinet meeting Thursday
and called on the Public Prosecutor to open an urgent investigation into
the dams’ collapse.The disaster brought a rare moment of unity, as
government agencies across the country rushed to help the affected
areas.While the Tobruk-based government of eastern Libya is leading
relief efforts, the Tripoli-based western government allocated the
equivalent of $412 million for reconstruction in Derna and other eastern
towns, and an armed group in Tripoli sent a convoy with humanitarian
aid.WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? Derna has begun burying its dead, mostly in
mass graves, said eastern Libya’s health minister, Othman Abduljaleel
earlier Thursday.More than 3,000 bodies were buried by Thursday morning,
the minister said, while another 2,000 were still being processed, He
said most of the dead were buried in mass graves outside Derna, while
others were transferred to nearby towns and cities.Abduljaleel said
rescue teams were still searching wrecked buildings in the city center,
and divers were combing the sea off Derna.Untold numbers could be buried
under drifts of mud and debris, including overturned cars and chunks of
concrete, that rise up to four meters (13 feet) high. Rescuers have
struggled to bring in heavy equipment as the floods washed out or
blocked roads leading to the area.Libya’s eastern based parliament, The
House of Representatives, on Thursday approved an emergency budget of 10
billion Libyan dinars — roughly $2 billion — to address the flooding
and help those affected.HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED? As of
Thursday, the Libyan Red Crescent said that 11,300 people have been
killed, and a further 10,100 are reported missing.However, local
officials suggested that the death toll could be much higher than
announced.In comments to the Saudi-owned Al Arabia television station on
Thursday, Derna Mayor Abdel-Moneim al-Ghaithi said the tally could
climb to 20,000 given the number of neighborhoods that were washed
out.The storm also killed around 170 people in other parts of eastern
Libya, including the towns of Bayda, Susa, Um Razaz and Marj, the health
minister said.The dead in eastern Libya included at least 84 Egyptians,
whose remains were transferred to their home country on Wednesday. More
than 70 came from one village in the southern province of Beni Suef.
Libyan media also said dozens of Sudanese migrants were killed in the
disaster. IS HELP REACHING SURVIVORS? The floods have displaced at least
30,000 people in Derna, according to the UN’s International
Organization for Migration, and several thousand others were forced to
leave their homes in other eastern towns, it said.The floods damaged or
destroyed many access roads to Derna, hampering the arrival of
international rescue teams and humanitarian assistance. Local
authorities were able to clear some routes, and humanitarian convoys
have been able to enter the city over the past couple of days.The UN
humanitarian office issued an emergency appeal for $71.4 million to
respond to urgent needs of 250,000 Libyans most affected. The office,
known as OCHA, estimated that approximately 884,000 people in five
provinces live in areas directly affected by the rain and flooding.The
International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday that it has
provided 6,000 body bags to local authorities, as well as medical, food
and other supplies distributed to hard-hit communities.International aid
started to arrive earlier this week in Benghazi, 250 kilometers (150
miles) west of Derna. Several countries have sent aid and rescue teams,
including neighboring Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia. Italy dispatched a
naval vessel on Thursday carrying humanitarian aid and two navy
helicopters to be used for search and rescue operations.President Joe
Biden said the United States would send money to relief organizations
and coordinate with Libyan authorities and the United Nations to provide
additional support.
Displaced by earthquake, Moroccan families
brace for nights with no shelter-Devastation has affected 300,000
Moroccans, including 100,000 children; villagers determined to stay and
rebuild-By SAM METZ and MOHAMED BOUKDIRE 14 September 2023, 2:57 pm 0
AMIZMIZ,
Morocco (AP) — Rachid Alachoun, a 40-year-old plumber, washes clothes
on the roof of his home. Half of it remains standing while the other
half can be found in piles of rocks visible from the roof.Alachoun is
among the survivors near the epicenter of an earthquake that hit Morocco
last Friday. Authorities have reported 2,946 deaths and several
thousand injuries.Though he has to walk through boulders and wires to
get to his kitchen or bedroom, he has stayed in his family’s home in
Amizmiz near the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter. He said the tent that
authorities gave them is too small for his entire family.So his life at
home goes on.Chairs in the remnants of the family home are covered with
the dust of broken walls and possessions that are too large to carry out
— a washing machine, tables and a fridge — are still trapped inside.He
cooks chicken, carrots and olives in a clay pot on the gas stove in an
area he’s kept tidy. The situation is especially precarious when
aftershocks strike, such as a 4.6-magnitude tremor on Thursday
morning.The Alachouns were told last Saturday that assistance was on the
way. Food and water arrived but they lacked shelter until Tuesday, when
authorities allocated them one of about 30 small yellow tents set up in
a square near the center of town — one of several encampments near
Amizmiz.“They told us not to come to get supplies and that supplies
would come. So we waited,” Alachoun’s sister, Loubna, said from the
coated polyester tent she is sharing with another brother, father,
mother and a close family friend.The Alachouns are among many Moroccans
now asking questions about their futures, particularly as nights get
colder and winter approaches. Though many villagers have been provided
food and water, officials have said it could take five to six years to
rebuild towns in the High Atlas and have created a special fund for
recovery.Rebuilding has already begun in parts of the old city of
Marrakech, including the old Jewish Quarter, that are frequented by
tourists, while efforts in Al Haouz — the province hardest hit by the
earthquakes — are still focused on immediate humanitarian needs.People
from the region’s mountain villages may move before their homes are
rebuilt, but the Alachouns are dedicated to staying. Most people in the
region identify as part of Morocco’s largest indigenous group, Amazigh,
and cling tightly to their homeland. The Alachouns doubt that any
financial assistance could get them an apartment large enough to house
their family in Marrakech, more than an hour away.Such is the case for
many families with small children.Until Friday, Naima Ait Brahim Ouali, a
house cleaner, lived on the third floor of an apartment building with
her five children in Sourejdid, a now-destroyed neighborhood in Amizmiz.
She and her daughter fell down the staircase as the earthquake shook
their building, ripping the top floor straight off, she said.Now her
entire neighborhood has relocated to a corner of a tent city in the
center of town. She worries about the future for her five children —
ages 25, 20, 19, 14 and 10 — some of whom had just started school last
week.Her daughters enjoy studying Arabic, with one passionate about
reading the Quran. Her sons have a penchant for drawing and theater. But
now fear strikes around 11 p.m., the time the earthquake hit last
Friday.“They saw death,” she says of her five children, including a
daughter who has experienced nightmares.UNICEF, the United Nations
agency that provides aid for children, estimated this week that roughly
100,000 children “have been impacted by the powerful earthquake.” The
figure follows an earlier U.N. estimate that 300,000 people were
affected by the disaster. About one-third of the population in Morocco
is children.Ricardo Pires, a spokesperson for UNICEF, said during
humanitarian disasters the organization worries about the trauma of
displacement as well as basic needs for children such as access to clean
water and medical supplies.“Children get separated from their families.
They might be displaced, on the move, and not knowing where to go to
stay safe,” Pires said. “This is always a major risk in humanitarian
disasters or when earthquakes like this break and it’s very hard to
reach certain areas.”Ait Brahim Ouali said that even if the government
provides funds to rebuild, she doesn’t want to live in a multi-level
apartment building made of bricks. She’s committed to remaining in Al
Haouz despite the difficulties for her and her family.“We are afraid for
the future. We just started the new school year but the earthquake came
and ruined everything,” she said, standing under an umbrella outside of
a yellow tent as children played inside. “We just want somewhere to
hide from the rain.”
