Cruise ship off Norway evacuates passengers by helicopter – The Boston Globe

HELSINKI — A cruise ship with engine problems sent a mayday call off Norway’s western coast on Saturday, then began evacuating its 1,300 passengers and crew amid stormy seas and heavy winds in a high-risk helicopter rescue operation.

The Norwegian newspaper VG said the Viking Sky cruise ship ran into propulsion problems as bad weather hit Norway’s coastal regions on Saturday and started drifting toward land. Police in the western county of Moere og Romsdal said the ship’s crew, fearing it would run aground, managed to drop anchor in Hustadvika Bay, between the western Norwegian cities of Alesund and Trondheim, so the evacuations could take place.

Rescue teams with helicopters and boats were sent to evacuate the cruise ship under extremely difficult circumstances.

The ship was visiting the Norwegian towns and cities of Narvik, Alta, Tromso, Bodo and Stavanger before its scheduled arrival Tuesday in the British port of Tilbury on the River Thames. The passengers mostly were a mix of American, British, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian citizens.

The airlifts continued at a steady pace Sunday morning, as the vessel was being prepared for towing by two tugboats to the nearby town of Molde, according to Per Fjerd at the Joint Rescue Coordination Center.

The helicopters stopped taking people off the ship when the ship was ready for the trip to shore, and 463 passengers had been evacuated by that time, the Joint Rescue center said. Three of the ship’s four engines were working as of Sunday morning, the center said.

As crucial Brexit votes loom, Theresa May backed by ministers amid coup reports – Fox News

British PM Theresa May faces backlash after blaming lawmakers for Brexit crisis

As a series of Brexit votes loom following a weekend that saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets of London demanding a second referendum, British Prime Minister Theresa May received the backing of several ministers who dismissed reports of a “coup” against the embattled leader.

Chancellor Philip Hammond called any talk of a leadership change “self-indulgent” and Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said the PM “is in charge,” according to BBC News, while David Lidington, who has been touted as a replacement for May, said, “I am 100 percent behind the prime minister.”

Still, British newspapers are reporting that behind the scenes, several cabinet members are plotting a coup against May and making plans to replace her with a caretaker leader until a proper election can take place later this year. BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg tweeted that there was “serious maneuvering” going on.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PROTEST IN LONDON TO DEMAND A SECOND BREXIT VOTE

Britain had been set to leave the European Union on March 29 without a deal after May’s negotiated agreement was voted down by lawmakers. That vote last week was May’s second Brexit defeat in parliament. However, May received a lifeline last week when EU leaders agreed to a short-term Brexit extension.

Throngs of protesters filled the streets of London on Saturday demanding a second referendum. The original Brexit vote, which critics have since said was influenced by Russia-backed disinformation and outright lies about what leaving the EU would mean, passed by 1.3 million votes.

In the coming days, a range of different scenarios could play out, depending on how British lawmakers vote. They include, according to BBC News: Revoking Article 50 and canceling Brexit altogether, setting up a second referendum, May’s deal plus a customs union, May’s deal plus a customs union and single-market access, a Canada-style free trade deal, or leaving the EU without a deal.

POPE FRANCIS PRAYS FOR PEACEFUL END TO NICARAGUA CRISIS

Hammond told BBC News that he would remove revoking Article 50 and a no-deal Brexit from the list, saying “both of those would have very serious and negative consequences for our country.”

In terms of a second referendum, Hammond said: “It is a coherent proposition and deserves to be considered, along with the other proposals.”

Although this coming Friday is the day that Britain was set to leave the EU, the earliest that could now happen is April 12.

Its Territory May Be Gone, but the U.S. Fight Against ISIS Is Far From Over – The New York Times

Separate estimates, including one by the United Nations in February, put the group’s strength even higher. James F. Jeffrey, the American special envoy for Syria, said this month that there are 15,000 to 20,000 armed Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria, “although many are in sleeper cells.”

American officials said that the Pentagon was concerned about Islamic State fighters returning from the front lines to stoke violence in their hometowns across Iraq and Syria. The United States will continue its bombing campaign against the extremist group and to assist local forces in both countries who are the first line of defense against Islamic State fighters.

“ISIS’s post-caliphate insurgency in Iraq is accelerating faster than efforts to prevent it by the U.S.,” concluded an analysis this month by the Institute for the Study of War.

The United States now has 5,200 troops in Iraq, mostly spread between two main bases, including Al Asad in western Anbar Province, which Mr. Trump visited in December. In Syria, Mr. Trump has ordered all but a residual American force of 400 troops to withdraw. Armed drones and warplanes will continue to provide air support.

Legislation pending in Iraq’s Parliament could limit United States military operations in the country by reducing the number of American troops there, restricting their movements or even demanding a full withdrawal by a certain, if yet unspecified, date.

Mr. Jeffrey made clear that the liberation of the declared caliphate — an area that nearly five years ago stretched to the size of Britain — did not eradicate the Islamic State’s potency.

“There is a great concern,” he said.

Ethiopian Airlines CEO dismisses need for optional safety equipment | TheHill – The Hill

The CEO of Ethiopian Airlines is dismissing the need for optional safety equipment that was not installed on the Boeing 737 Max aircraft involved in a crash earlier this month that killed 157 people.

“A Toyota is imported with all the necessary equipment to drive, like the engine and the wheels, but with air conditioning and the radio optional,” Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told Reuters. “When Boeing supplies aircraft, there are items which are mandatory for safety and then there are optional items.”

Boeing has faced criticism because its 737 Max jets involved in the Ethiopian Airlines crash and a deadly Lion Air crash last October did not have “angle of attack” indicators or disagree lights.

The angle of attack sensors detect how much a plane’s nose is pointing up or down relative to oncoming air. The optional safety features may have been able to help the pilots in the two deadly crashes regain control of the flight, experts have said.

But Tewolde rejected that criticism, according to Reuters.

“The angle of attack indicator was on the optional list along with the inflight entertainment system,” he said.

Boeing, however, will now make the disagree light a standard feature on 737 Max planes instead of charging for it as an upgrade, according to media reports.

Nadler: Executive privilege can’t be used to ‘hide wrongdoing’ in Mueller report – NBC News

WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler Sunday warned President Donald Trump against attempting to assert executive privilege to block the release of portions of the Mueller report.

Appearing on “Meet the Press” two days after special counsel Robert Mueller turned in his final report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to the Justice Department, Nadler argued that the White House won’t be able to hide behind the power of the presidency if there are damaging findings in the report.

“It’s critical that everything in that report and the underlying evidence be public, be open to the American people,” said Nadler, D-N.Y. “That transparency is key. America needs answers as to what’s been going on.

“As we learned from the Nixon tapes case, executive privilege cannot be used to hide wrongdoing.”

A battle over executive privilege, the right presidents often claim to shield certain information, could be the next flashpoint in the battle surrounding the Mueller probe.

All eyes are now on Attorney General William Barr, who is tasked with analyzing the report and deciding what portions of it can be shared with Congress and ultimately the public. He’s expected to deliver those characterizations as soon as Sunday.

Democrats have made clear that they want the entire report, as well as the underlying documents that support it, to be made public.

And while he’s been critical of the special counsel’s probe and Mueller’s entire team for months, Trump said last week he wants the report to be made public.

But executive privilege has been a major source of contention between the White House and Congress in past administrations. So it’s possible that the Trump administration could try to block the release of some portion of the report.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., agreed with the broad call for transparency on Sunday.

He argued that while some intelligence information would obviously need to be redacted, his message to Trump is to “lean toward transparency” in order to to help the country move forward after the report’s release. And he added that transparency would also help the public understand the legal rationale for starting the investigation in the first place.

“Let’s put all of that out there as well so we can pass judgment about how the investigation was conducted, or at least a predicate for the investigation was conducted during the Obama years,” Rubio said on “Meet the Press.”

Much of Mueller’s work has already played out somewhat in the public sphere, with the investigation triggering the indictments of 34 people, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort; former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn; former lawyer Michael Cohen; as well as a handful of Russians Mueller says interfered with the 2016 election.

Nadler pointed to the information contained in those indictments to argue Mueller had already found evidence of wrongdoing by Trump allies during his investigation.

“We know that he fired the FBI director for not giving him the personal loyalty that he demanded and for not dropping those investigations,” he said.

“We know that many of the president’s closest associates, his national security adviser, campaign manager, et cetera, have been convicted of various crimes. And we know that he’s waged a relentless two-year campaign to attack law enforcement institutions.”

Democrats are also warning that the report is just one piece of the oversight over Trump, whose administration, campaign and business dealings are still being investigated by Congressional committees.

Nader’s Judiciary Committee is in the midst of a broad investigation into obstruction of justice, public corruption and abuse of power, for which he subpoenaed 81 individuals and entities related to Trump.

There are active investigations in the House Oversight Committee, as well as in the House and Senate Intelligence Committee and in state attorneys general offices.

Another question facing Democrats is whether they should call Mueller or Barr to testify about the report. Nadler said Sunday that he doesn’t believe it would be necessary to call Mueller to testify as long as his report was straightforward.

“He gave us a report, he speaks through that report. If that report answers all our questions, there will be no need to call him,” Nadler said.

“If that report is not public, if large parts of it are not made public, or if it leaves a lot of questions, then we have a necessity to call him.”

This is China’s playbook to pit EU countries against each other – Business Insider

China has big ambitions for the EU — and the bloc seems rattled.

The EU is trying to hammer out a coherent policy to deal with China, while Beijing has been actively courting relationships with individual EU countries.

Experts say this could be part of China’s playbook to pit EU states against each other, to avoid the bloc — its biggest trading partner — from formulating trade practices that could harm Beijing.

President Xi Jinping is currently spending six days in Europe, visiting Italy, Monaco, and France, where he plans to meet with leaders and undertake trade negotiations.

In Rome on Saturday Xi oversaw Italy’s signing a memorandum of understanding to join the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s flagship trade project aimed to connect the world via infrastructure.

The two nations also signed ten additional deals in sectors including port management, energy, steel, and gas, that could be worth up to 20 billion euros ($22.62 billion), Reuters reported.

Li Keqiang, China’s premier, is also set to visit Brussels for an EU-China summit on April 9 before going to Croatia to meet with the 16+1, a consortium of 11 EU member states in central and eastern Europe,and five Balkan countries that Beijing devised as part of its push into Europe.

Is China trying to divide the EU?

Robert Cooper, a EU foreign policy adviser, told the Financial Times last week: “China has discovered it can pick off different EU members and stop the EU having a China policy.”

Teresa Coratella, program manager at the European Council on Foreign Relations in Rome, told Business Insider: “I think that China would definitely prefer to have 27 different policies instead of one united one, because this would leave more space for maneuvering and for pushing for its own primary interests. But this would be the case of any partner of the EU.”

She said, however, that China wasn’t trying to divide the EU — rather, the act of pitting EU countries against one another for Beijing’s benefit was “simple politics and policymaking.”

“China is pushing for its own strategic interests,” she said. “The final objective is to go back to China with the best outcome that one could get.”

“It’s not in the interests of anyone to show a divided Europe, but again whatever would have China have the most of it, China will do it. It’s just simple politics and policymaking.”

The Chinese embassy in London did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider for this story.

Europe’s muddled policy on China

The EU has so far been split over its attitude to China’s economic influence.

Some EU leaders have recently been trying to intensify the bloc’s efforts to formulate a coordinated and aggressive approach toward China, particularly in terms of trade, while other countries like Italy have sought closer relations with Beijing, seeing it as a new source of investment for Europe.

Countries like Germany and France have been concerned with what they consider unfair subsidies affecting the price of Chinese imports into the EU, and state involvement in the economy.

The two countries have pushed for more stringent screening measures on foreign investment in what appears to be an effort to restrict China’s access to the EU, Reuters noted.

“The period of European naivety is over,” French President Emmanuel Macron told an EU conference on Friday, referring to the EU’s relationship with China.

“China is a partner, but it is at the same time a competitor. It’s crucial that there be fair trade conditions,” Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz added at the same meeting.

The EU has also been a bulwark against the US in terms of cybersecurity fears. The Trump administration has been pressuring the EU to ban Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant, from its 5G network. It even warned Germany that if it adopted Huawei’s technology, it would risk losing access to US intelligence sharing.

The bloc has appeared unwilling to impose a blanket ban on Huawei, however.

According to a Politico report, Ulrik Trolle Smed, chief cybersecurity adviser to European Security Commissioner Julian King, said last month: “A complete ban, I don’t think that’s the European way.”

‘The perfect time’ for China to visit Europe

Xi and Li’s visits are strategically timed because the EU is distracted with internal politics, and is therefore more susceptible to foreign influences in their policymaking, Coratella said.

“All the member states are now totally involved in political campaigning or EU elections [from May 23 to 25],” she said. They are also preoccupied with Brexit negotiations, she said.

“Traditional parties and governments are fighting to regain some of the consensus that they lost, and on the other side, you have new political movements, new political parties gaining much consensus.”

“The moment is perfect for an external actor,” she said.

Dems’ conference call grapples with Mueller report’s unknowns – Fox News

Video

2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls call for the full release of the Mueller report

Democratic strategists Doug Schoen and Nathan Rubin weigh in on what 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have to say about the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

A top Senate Democrat on the Judiciary Committee conceded in a conference call with reporters Saturday that when the special counsel’s principal findings are released by Attorney General William Barr, there may well be cause for celebration among President Trump’s supporters — many of whom have stood by the president for more than two years amid a torrent of unproven allegations that the Trump campaign illegally conspired with Russia in the 2016 election.

“It’s the end of the beginning but it’s not the beginning of the end,” Delaware Democrat Sen. Chris Coons said, echoing his party’s strategy of moving forward on to other investigations, including probes into Trump’s financial dealings. “Once we get the principal conclusions of the report,” he added later, “I think it’s entirely possible that that will be a good day for the president and his core supporters.”

The timing of that potentially good day now seems to be shifting toward Sunday, after sources said a Saturday disclosure of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s primary conclusions in his now-concluded Russia investigation wasn’t expected. A personal lawyer for President Trump told Fox News that Barr’s report on Mueller’s findings was now expected about noon Sunday, though it had earlier been expected on Saturday and the timing remains fluid.

Mueller is not recommending any further indictments as part of his inquiry, which effectively ended Friday, according to a senior Justice Department official.

In a show of confidence, for his part, President Trump waved and flashed two thumbs up to supporters as he returned to his Florida Mar-a-Lago estate on Saturday. The entertainer Kid Rock later uploaded a photograph of his golf outing with Trump earlier in the day.

“Another great day on the links!” Kid Rock wrote. “Thank you to POTUS for having me and to EVERYONE at Trump International for being so wonderful. What a great man, so down to earth and so fun to be with!! KEEP AMERICA GREAT!! -Kid Rock.”

Trump himself remained off Twitter into Saturday evening — an unusual move that prompted speculation in various news outlets and on social media.

Fox News is told that Barr may run the conclusions past White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Emmett Flood, who were in Mar-a-Lago along with Trump, before they are released. It will likely take longer for the facts supporting the conclusions to come out, Fox News is told, because there may be materials that are either classified, or subject to executive privilege in the factual material.

Fox News is told that although impeachment was not mentioned on the Democrats’ conference call, a primary purpose of the discussion among top Democrat committee members was to signal that just because the Mueller probe is over, that doesn’t mean that the House’s work is over.

Democrats also discussed Congress’ oversight role given that a sitting president, under DOJ guidelines, cannot be indicted.

Both parties have pushed the Justice Department to allow lawmakers to publicly discuss the report’s conclusions, once lawmakers have received them from Barr.

The conclusion of Mueller’s probe comes as House Democrats have launched several of their own into Trump and his personal and political dealings.

JEROME CORSI CELEBRATES END OF RUSSIA PROBE, SAYS HE’S VINDICATED IN DECISION TO RESIST MUELLER BULLYING

“It’s the end of the beginning but it’s not the beginning of the end.”

— Delaware Democrat Sen. Chris Coons

Democrats have said they have to see the full report from Mueller, including underlying evidence, before they can assess it. Those demands for information are setting up a potential tussle between Congress and the Trump administration that federal judges might eventually have to referee.

Six Democratic committee chairmen wrote in a letter to Barr on Friday that if Mueller has any reason to believe that Trump “has engaged in criminal or other serious misconduct,” then the Justice Department should not conceal it.

“The president is not above the law and the need for public faith in our democratic institutions and the rule of law must be the priority,” the chairmen wrote.

It’s unclear what Mueller has found related to the president, if anything. In his investigation of whether Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia to sway the 2016 election, Mueller has brought charges against 34 people, including six aides and advisers to the president, and three companies.

But Mueller did not charge any Americans with illegally conspiring with Russians on any matter, including election interference — a foundational reason for the launch of his high-profile probe nearly two years ago.

Barr testified at his confirmation hearings that he wants to release as much information as he can about the inquiry.

But anything less than the full report won’t be enough for Democrats — who on Saturday warned that they may soon set their sights on Mueller.

“If the AG plays any games, we will subpoena the report, ask Mr. Mueller to testify, and take it all to court if necessary,” said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y. “The people deserve to know.”

Fox News’ Ed Henry, Mike Emanuel, Brooke Singman, Chad Pergram, Jake Gibson, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Trump hails fall of Islamic State ‘caliphate’ in Syria – BBC News

Media captionKurdish TV showed the SDF raising a yellow flag on top of buildings seized from IS in Baghuz

US President Donald Trump welcomed the fall of the Islamic State group’s five-year “caliphate”, but warned that the terror group remained a threat.

Mr Trump’s remarks came after Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) raised victory flags in the Syrian town of Baghuz, IS’s last stronghold.

He said the US would “remain vigilant until [IS] is finally defeated”.

Despite losing territory in Syria and Iraq, IS remains active in countries from Nigeria to the Philippines.

At its height, the group controlled 88,000 sq km (34,000 sq miles) across Syria and Iraq.

After five years of fierce battle, though, local forces backed by world powers left IS with all but a few hundred square metres near Syria’s border with Iraq.

On Saturday, the long-awaited announcement came from the SDF that it had seized that last IS territory. Western leaders hailed the announcement but emphasised that IS was still a danger.

“We will remain vigilant… until it is finally defeated wherever it operates,” Mr Trump said in a statement.

French President Emmanuel Macron said “the threat remains and the fight against terrorist groups must continue”.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May welcomed the “historic milestone” but said her government remained “committed to eradicating [IS’s] poisonous ideology”.

Media captionBBC Arabic’s Feras Kilani says that losing their last stronghold is unlikely to be the end of Islamic State.

Trump statement

In a statement released by the White House on Saturday, Mr Trump said the US would “continue to work with our partners and allies… to fight [IS] until it is finally defeated.”

“The United States will defend American interests whenever and wherever necessary,” the statement read.

Mr Trump described IS’s loss of territory as “evidence of its false narrative”, adding: “They have lost all prestige and power.”

He also appealed to “all of the young people on the internet believing in [IS] propaganda”, saying: “Think instead about having a great life.”

Media captionIS ‘remains a threat’, US envoy warns

How did the final battle unfold?

The SDF alliance began its final assault on IS at the start of March, with the remaining militants holed up in the village of Baghuz in eastern Syria.

The alliance was forced to slow its offensive after it emerged that a large number of civilians were also there, sheltering in buildings, tents and tunnels.

Thousands of women and children, foreign nationals among them, fled the fighting and severe shortages to make their way to SDF-run camps for displaced persons.

Many IS fighters have also abandoned Baghuz, but those who stayed put up fierce resistance, deploying suicide bombers and car bombs.

Why are there still concerns about IS?

IS grew out of al-Qaeda in Iraq in the aftermath of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

It joined the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2011. By 2014 it had seized swathes of land in both countries and proclaimed a “caliphate”.

IS once imposed its rule on almost eight million people, and generated billions of dollars from oil, extortion, robbery and kidnapping, using its territory as a platform to launch foreign attacks.

The fall of Baghuz is a major moment in the campaign against IS. The Iraqi government declared victory against the militants in 2017.

But the group is far from defeated. US officials believe IS may have 15,000 to 20,000 armed adherents active in the region, many of them in sleeper cells, and that it will return to its insurgent roots while attempting to rebuild.

Even as its defeat in Baghuz was imminent, IS released a defiant audio recording purportedly from its spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, asserting that the caliphate was not finished.

The location of the group’s overall leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is not known. But he has avoided being captured or killed, despite having fewer places to hide.

Rep. Ilhan Omar faces hundreds of protesters outside CAIR fundraiser in California – Fox News

U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., speaks to support LGBTQ and allied high school students from across the state of Minnesota outside the State Capitol in St. Paul, March 21, 2019. (Associated Press)

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar faced hundreds of protesters Saturday outside a Southern California fundraising event for the local chapter of a major advocacy group representing Muslim-Americans.

“Burn the Quran!,” “Ilhan Omar, go to hell!” and “Shame on you, terrorists!” were among some of the messages shouted outside a Woodland Hills hotel where the Minnesota Democrat spoke at a fundraiser for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of Greater Los Angeles, according to a report. The town is about 25 miles northwest of downtown L.A.

The protesters lined a sidewalk area, where they waved Israeli flags and denounced the freshman congresswoman over recent remarks that some have described as anti-Semitic, the Los Angeles Daily News reported. The atmosphere was a mix of dancing and music mixed with the vitriolic comments against Omar, the report said.

REP. ILHAN OMAR’S ‘ANTI-SEMITIC TROPES’ PROMPT JEWISH NEW YORK DEM TO APOLOGIZE TO CONSTITUENTS

Omar, a 37-year-old immigrant from Somalia who came to the U.S. with her family in 1995, has faced a storm of criticism from pro-Israel politicians and groups after her February tweet that said “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” in reference to the support that some U.S. lawmakers have offered to Israel.

FARRAKHAN TELLS ‘SWEETHEART’ REP. OMAR NOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR ISRAEL COMMENTS

The freshman Democrat drew scorn from Republicans and some in her own party. She later apologized and clarified her criticism of the Israeli government.

“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” she wrote on Twitter.

“Being opposed to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and the occupation is not the same as being anti-Semitic,” she continued. “I am grateful to the many Jewish allies who have spoken out and said the same.”

2020 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES CIRCLING WAGONS AROUND ILHAN OMAR AFTER ISRAEL COMMENT UPROAR

A handful of counterprotesters also appeared outside the event to voice support for Omar.

The event at the fourth annual Valley Banquet, titled “Advancing Justice: Empowering Valley Muslims,” was sold out and closed to the public. The Los Angeles Police Department told City News Service that it had an unspecified number of officers working the event.

“We don’t disclose the numbers,” Officer Sal Ramirez told City News Service.

Omar’s visit to Southern California is expected to continue Sunday, as she is scheduled to attend a private meet-and-greet in Irvine, according to a flyer for the event.

Her appearance was one of two political events in the region Saturday. In Los Angeles, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a Democratic 2020 presidential candidate, visited a mosque to commemorate the victims of the March 15 mass shooting in New Zealand, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“Your background is different than mine,” Sanders told about 200 Muslims at the Islamic Center of Southern California. “What a joy it is to share that.”

Later in the day, he spoke to an estimated 12,000 people at a downtown Los Angeles rally.

“As president of the United States, I will not have kind words to say about authoritarian leaders around the world who espouse bigotry and hatred,” Sanders told the crowd. “Together we will make the United States the leader in the world in the fight for democracy and human rights.”

Brexit is, at bottom, about self-rule – Washington Examiner

Amid the shambolic fracas in the British government and Parliament over how and when Brexit should take place, it’s important to step back and remember the why.

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union is not ultimately about trade or regulations. It’s about something more fundamental: the natural right of people to form and control their government. At its core, Brexit is about democracy and self-rule. Britons wanted their government, parliament, and courts to once again be the final authorities in the land.

The flow of power out of Britain and into Brussels isn’t some theoretical concern. The way the European Union has worked has imposed on British law, laws passed in Brussels by European parliamentarians. The Germans and the Italians, in effect, can tell the Brits what their law is, even over the objections of the Brits. So much for the consent of the governed.

The European Court of Justice is a perfect example of this corruption. In the landmark case of Marleasing SA v. La Commercial, for example, the ECJ ruled that national courts must interpret national laws in a way that fits them to European directives.

Put another way, a national court must stretch its own parliament’s will in order to serve the European Union’s will.

Isn’t this a problem?

Brussels says no. It claims that the supremacy of one supranational authority over 28 different national authorities has made the law more fair, just, and beneficial for all. And EU supporters say that by ensuring no one nation’s parliament can act against the community of nations, the EU has made the European continent safer, happier, and more respecting of individual rights.

This happy talk covers up illiberal thinking that cuts against the Enlightenment and against the roots of modern democracy.

The real reason Europe has remained at continental peace for nearly 80 years now isn’t that EU parliamentarians can share a common beer at a common bar in Strasbourg. We should attribute European peace to the realization that many self-ruling nations each benefit from liberalized international trade and travel. Enlightened national interest can breed international cooperation and peace.

But the virtues of free trade and cultural intermixing don’t in turn call for the abolition of self-rule and its replacement with a multinational government.

By taking power further and further away from the governed, the “European Project” is essentially an undemocratic project.

Brexit, as we write, is in shambles. That fact shouldn’t distract from it’s deeper meaning.

Brexit was and remains about reversing this undemocratic project, and thus preserving the idea of a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Italy, China sign accord deepening economic ties – Washington Examiner

ROME (AP) — Italy signed a memorandum of understanding with China on Saturday supporting Beijing’s “Belt and Road” initiative, which aims to weave a network of ports, bridges and power plants linking China with Africa, Europe and beyond.

With the move, Italy becomes the first member of the Group of Seven major economies, which includes the United States, to join the Belt and Road program, following Portugal’s embrace of the initiative in December.

Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte and Chinese President Xi Jinping attended a ceremony in Rome where 29 separate protocols of the memorandum were signed by both governments in front of the flags of China, Italy and the European Union.

Luigi di Maio, the Italian minister of economic development, told reporters afterward that his country’s goal is to increase exports to China in order to correct trade imbalances and boost Italian businesses and the country’s troubled economy. He said the value of the individual deals signed on Saturday amounts to 2.5 billion euros ($2.8 billion), with the potential to grow to 20 billion euros ($22.6 billion)

“Our goal with these accords is to start to rebalance an imbalance for which there is a lot of ‘Made in China’ coming to Italy and too little ‘Made in Italy’ that goes to China,” Di Maio said.

He said Italy now expects “a substantial and gradual increase of exports and we hope that in the next years we can balance out the trade imbalances.”

Italy’s move appears to also be driven by hopes that Chinese investment in Italy’s ports might help revive the country’s traditional role as a key link in trade between the East and West.

The signed accords are wide-ranging and include cooperation between banks, between a Chinese construction company and Italian ports, and the export of Italian fruit to China. The deals also foresee cooperation in the spheres of science and technology and between media outlets, as well as the return by Italy of hundreds of Chinese cultural treasures.

The signing ceremony took place at the Villa Madama, a Renaissance villa designed by Raphael, where Xi was greeted with full honors on the second day of his two-day visit to Italy. He then traveled to Sicily, where officials hope to attract more Chinese tourism.

Italy’s involvement in the Belt and Road program gives China a crucial inroad into Western Europe and a symbolic boost in its economic tug-of-war with Washington, where President Donald Trump is challenging China over trade and other issues.

The EU, however, is worried about unfair competition from Chinese companies, which are controlled by the Chinese government and benefit from the state’s financial backing. EU leaders in Brussels are preparing a strategy to counter the growing influence of China, which they describe as a “systemic rival.”

Some Italian government officials were critical of the deals, worried that Italy might be ceding national sovereignty in key strategic areas to Beijing. In a sign of opposition, Matteo Salvini, the deputy prime minister and interior minister, stayed away from the official ceremonies with the Chinese delegation.

Di Maio stressed that Italy remains firmly rooted in its alliance with the United States, NATO and its European partners, but said Italy must also look out for its own economic interests.

“Like someone in the United States said ‘America first,’ I continue to repeat: ‘Italy first’ in commercial relations,” Di Maio said.

In response to concerns that the memorandum could open the way to colonization by China, Di Maio countered it would instead help goods manufactured in Italy “to colonize the world.”

“That is a good colonialization,” he said.

The Belt and Road project has so far seen investments totaling more than a trillion dollars since its launch more than five years ago, and China says some 150 countries have signed agreements related to the project.

Beijing has marketed the initiative as a way to give some of the world’s neediest countries a leg up, helping them gain access to more trade and investment. But it also helps Chinese companies tap new markets for their products while helping Beijing amass greater global influence.

Some governments, including the U.S., Japan, and India, worry that Beijing is trying to build a China-centered sphere of influence that undermines their own sway, pulling developing nations into infrastructure “debt traps” that would give China ever-more control over their territories and economies. Some say the proposed improvements are too expensive for the impoverished countries.

China’s official position is that Belt and Road program is solely an economic initiative with no political motives. Xi said last year that even as China moves closer to the center of the world stage, it will never seek hegemony.

Boeing and FAA near completion of 737 Max 8 flight control system overhaul – The Washington Post

March 23 at 9:00 PM

Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration are nearing completion of a long-awaited software and training overhaul for the 737 Max 8 commercial jetliner’s flight control systems, both organizations confirmed Saturday.

If the new changes are finalized and approved by the FAA on time, they could mark an early step toward remedying the safety concerns that have gripped the global aviation industry in recent months following deadly plane crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

The software and training fixes were announced by Boeing on March 11 after the FAA called for them in an official airworthiness directive. The two organizations have been developing the fixes for months but did not publicly commit to them until after a second deadly crash on March 10 involving a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet.

“We’ve been working diligently and in close cooperation with the FAA on the software update,” a Boeing spokesman said Saturday in a statement. “We are taking a comprehensive and careful approach to design, develop and test the software that will ultimately lead to certification.”

The FAA demanded the software fixes be completed “no later than April” and says it will evaluate the software fixes next week.

“We expect the software fix early next week; and we will evaluate it at the time,” an FAA spokesman said Saturday.

[At tense meeting with Boeing executives, pilots fumed about being left in the dark]

The news comes as Boeing and the FAA are facing a rare safety crisis that has shaken the confidence of international regulators. On March 10, a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed just minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 aboard. It came just months after another Boeing plane ― also a 737 Max 8 ― crashed off the coast of Indonesia, killing 189. Aircraft regulators around the world grounded the Max 8 and Max 9 jets within days.

The two crashes occurred under similar circumstances. In each case, the plane veered up and down in the minutes after takeoff before turning into a fatal nose-dive. The FAA concluded on March 13 that it saw similarities between the two crashes based on recently analyzed satellite data and evidence investigators found in the wreckage in Ethiopia.

Although the precise causes of the two crashes remain unknown, Boeing has faced harsh criticism from U.S. pilot groups, advocacy organizations and lawmakers over a decision to add a flight control system called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, into the 737 Max 8 without notifying pilots.

The MCAS is designed to account for changes to the plane’s engines. It is supposed to prevent the plane from stalling by automatically nudging its nose downward in response to information fed from the plane’s external sensors. Boeing did not detail the system in pilot training for the 737 Max, however, which pilots said left them in the dark about how to respond to potentially dangerous scenarios.

The circumstances under which Boeing designed the plane and the FAA’s oversight of it are the subject of numerous lawsuits, congressional inquiries and a criminal investigation.

[Pilots say they were ‘in the dark’ about Boeing’s 737 safety update]

All eyes will be on Boeing to see whether it can complete the software fixes on time and whether its new crew training will be viewed as sufficient.

A Boeing spokesman said Saturday that the plane’s new flight systems will rely on more than one external sensor to measure the direction of the plane’s nose before making automatic changes, something that should satisfy an FAA requirement that aircraft systems do not base automated decisions on a single fallible sensor. The spokesman also said the new software would also prevent the plane’s automated system from pointing the nose of the plane too far downward, something that is meant to prevent the plane from overreacting to bad flight data.

The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that the system would include new alerts meant to tell the crew when the MCAS is triggered. And Boeing said recently that the new flight system would also be accompanied by new crew training related to the MCAS, which was viewed as a major departure from its earlier policy on the matter.

Mueller report: US Congress awaits key findings from Attorney General Barr – BBC News

Attorney General William Barr (R) will decide how much of the Mueller report to share with Congress

US congressional leaders are awaiting conclusions from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, with early findings expected Sunday.

The long-awaited report was submitted on Friday to Attorney General William Barr, who spent Saturday at the justice department poring over the document.

The report is the culmination of two years of investigation by Mr Mueller.

A justice department official said it did not call for new charges.

In the course of their investigation, Mr Mueller and his team have already charged 34 people – including six former Trump aides and a dozen Russians – as well as three companies.

None of those charges directly related to the allegations of collusion between the campaign and Moscow – allegations that President Trump has always denied.

President Trump spent the weekend at his Florida resort

Mr Mueller reportedly also examined another question: whether Mr Trump committed obstruction of justice in an effort to curtail an FBI investigation into connections between his campaign and Russians.

It is not yet known how much of the report – if any – will be made available to the public. Mr Barr will decide initially how much information to share with Congress.

Mr Barr, who was appointed by Mr Trump, told congressional leaders on Friday that he was “committed to as much transparency as possible.”

‘Watch and wait’

Mr Barr spent nine hours at the justice department on Saturday before leaving at around 19:00 (23:00 GMT), US media reported.

The president, meanwhile, travelled to his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, where he played a round of golf and ate lunch with the rap-rock artist Kid Rock.

He was uncharacteristically silent on social media – posting no remarks on the news that the Mueller report had been submitted.

The president has in the past repeatedly lashed out at the special counsel investigation, branding it a “witch hunt”. Asked about the president’s mood over the weekend, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley replied simply: “He’s good”.

Mr Gidley said that the Trump administration had not received a copy of or been briefed on Mr Mueller’s report.

Mr Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, told the Washington Post that the president was in “watch and wait” mode.

“We’ve all waited this long. Let’s just await the reading of what’s disclosed,” Mr Giuliani said.

Media captionHow US networks reacted to Mueller news

Despite all the attention is has received since it was submitted on Friday, the special counsel’s investigation is not the only probe that could threaten Mr Trump’s presidency. About a dozen other investigations are being run independently of Mr Mueller’s office.

They include a federal investigation in New York that is looking into possible election-law violations by the Trump campaign and his businesses and possible misconduct by the Trump inaugural committee.

What happens next with the Mueller report?

Legally, the attorney general is under no obligation to release the report publicly, and his copy to Congress could contain redactions, but during his confirmation hearings before senators Mr Barr vowed to release as much as he could.

A number of senior Democrats, including presidential hopefuls Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Julian Castro, have called for the full release of the report.

The House of Representatives, newly controlled by the Democratic party following last year’s mid-term elections, will also continue to investigate the Trump administration and could ask Mr Mueller to testify or instruct Mr Barr to provide relevant materials.
