JERUSALEM — He is accused of pandering to far-right elements previously considered beyond the pale even for many members of his own party, while sowing division to win votes. 

He has started his own Internet broadcasts to circumvent traditional media outlets he brands “fake news,” while remaining preoccupied over their coverage of him.

Deeply concerned about leaks and disloyalty, he has tapped a team centered on family members to run his campaign.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was using Trump-style messaging and Trump-style tactics long before there was a President Trump. But as the longtime Israeli leader seeks a fifth term in elections next month, the similarities between the two polarizing figures — both under investigation for possible wrongdoing in what each has labeled a “witch hunt” — are being thrown into ever starker relief.

“They are twins. It’s unbelievable,” said Ben Caspit, author of “The Netanyahu Years.” “You see it in their style, you see their behavior, even their language.”

Netanyahu, or Bibi as he is commonly known, long cast the “hostile media” as the enemy — before cribbing Trump’s favored term, “fake news” — and he has used what critics call scare tactics to galvanize his base. Political analysts say that Trump’s success has inspired the Israeli leader to push further. 

Now, with an election weeks away, the rhetoric is turbocharged, with Netanyahu sharpening his allegations that left-wing Israelis are conspiring to oust him through a corruption investigation because they can’t beat him at the ballot box. The Israeli attorney general notified Netanyahu’s legal team last month of plans to charge the prime minister with fraud, breach of trust and bribery in three criminal cases, pending a hearing in which he can present his defense.

Netanyahu’s campaign, meanwhile, has become racially charged as he accuses his main rival of planning to form a governing coalition with Arab Israeli parties.

During his campaign, Netanyahu has been keen to stress his strong relationship with Trump, who recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the U.S. Embassy there. Huge campaign billboards alongside Israeli highways show the two men shaking hands. “Netanyahu, in a different league,” they read. 

When the prime minister appeared on national television hours after the attorney general announced that he would proceed with the indictment process, Netanyahu’s first point was to mention his strong relationship with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

Netanyahu has also unleashed a stream of attacks on the judiciary and the police. Critics say his complaints of unfair treatment are delegitimizing Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit and undermining Israeli democracy. There are echoes of Trump’s attacks on the U.S. Justice Department.

For Trump, “there is no collusion” with Russia. For Netanyahu, the similarly oft-repeated refrain is “there will be nothing because there is nothing,” in reference to the potential criminal charges against him.

Both leaders have closed ranks as their closest advisers and confidants have given evidence against them in recent years. Just as Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen publicly testified against the president, three of Netanyahu’s closest advisers have agreed to give evidence against the Israeli leader.

“Over the years, the suspicion and paranoia and the belief that everyone is conspiring against him has become more and more acute, and right now we see that he lost almost all of his closest aides,” Caspit said. 

Today, Netanyahu is running his reelection campaign with a tightknit team that includes his wife, Sara, and his oldest son, Yair, known for his extreme Internet posts. 

Almost every evening as the April 9 election approaches, Netanyahu appears on his newly launched daily webcast, “Likud TV.”

In one recent broadcast he appeared via video link with its presenter, Eliraz Sade, a reality-television star, as they watched recorded clips of supporters of the prime minister’s Likud party telling him what a great job he has done for the country over the past decade.

“Do you have such time to watch these videos with me?” Sade had asked the prime minister. 

“Of course I have time,” Netanyahu replied. “This is exactly what we don’t see in the media.”

There is a striking similarity to Trump’s “Real News Network,” dubbed Trump TV and launched to support his 2020 reelection campaign by highlighting his achievements. These broadcasts, along with an aggressive use of social media by both leaders, offer a way to elude the mainstream media. And both are ready to incite against it.

At a raucous rally to launch his campaign earlier this month, Netanyahu’s die-hard supporters threw insults at the assembled press as the prime minister attacked it. 

“How biased it is. How false it is. I know how much it infuriates you,” he said, blaming his legal troubles on a conspiracy by the media and the left. In his telling, the attorney general has bent to their pressure.

Mitchell Barak, an Israeli American pollster who was an adviser to Netanyahu in the early 1990s, called it “an Israeli version of ‘deep state’ — the deep-left effort to unseat Netanyahu.”

Years before Trump was near the White House, Netanyahu was mastering the art of galvanizing his base of largely Mizrahi Jews, the working-class Israelis whose families hail from the Middle East and feel neglected by the more privileged Ashkenazis, or Jews of Europe ancestry.

Much as Trump, a wealthy businessman, has offered a message that resonates with parts of blue-collar America, the Mizrahim have stuck with Netanyahu loyally despite his Ashkenazi background, 

“He was there first, so he was doing it first,” said Aviv Bushinsky, a former chief of staff and media adviser for Netanyahu, describing the way he speaks to his political base. “The ones who support Netanyahu from the right wing, they were the ones that felt discriminated against, that no one counted, and Netanyahu uses it to say, ‘Look, they are doing it to us again.’ ”

But Trump has also provided inspiration for Netanyahu, Caspit said. 

“When Trump won, against all odds, Trump was a totally different league or ballgame,” Caspit said. “He did things Bibi didn’t even dream to do.”

In the United States, Trump has embraced far-right figures, such as Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who has repeatedly made remarks widely rebuked as racist even by members of his party and has declined to criticize white supremacists for their role in violence in Charlottesville in 2017. 

In Israel, Netanyahu created a stir last month by encouraging a political agreement to unite three right-wing parties, including a faction made up of followers of the late Meir Kahane, an ultranationalist American Israeli rabbi who was banned from Israeli politics for his racist opinions. American Jewish groups that usually refrain from criticizing Israel’s leaders expressed their dismay.

Netanyahu defended the move, saying it was part of a strategy that would allow him to form a governing coalition if he is reelected.

The prime minister’s critics say he is pushing divisive politics harder than ever.

He declared on social media last week that “Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people and them alone” — a statement that drew fire for casting the country’s 1.8 million Arabs and other minorities as second-class citizens. 

Meanwhile, he is using a new slogan — “It’s either Bibi or Tibi” — essentially tapping suspicion of Israel’s Arab minority in arguing that his main rival, former Israeli military chief Benny Gantz, might have to team up with longtime Arab Knesset member Ahmad Tibi to form a governing coalition. 

The accusation that Gantz might have to depend on Israeli Arab parties is part of a broader strategy to paint him and his party as left-wing. Gantz says he is neither left or right. 

Dan Avnon, chair of the department of political sciences at Hebrew University, said: “When Trump goes around America saying ‘Lock her up,’ it’s similar to what Netanyahu is trying to do with Gantz. For sure there are similarities there.”

Gantz’s campaign has accused the prime minister of using outright lies to smear him. In recent weeks, Netanyahu has repeated a claim that Gantz, who was chief of staff during the 2014 Gaza Strip war, attended a memorial for “a thousand Hamas terrorists” on the anniversary of the conflict. The claim prompted Israeli newspapers to run fact checks, concluding that the event Netanyahu referred to was a “Concert without Borders” attended by Jewish and Arab Israelis.

“Netanyahu continues spreading lies and incitement,” Gantz’s rival Blue and White party said in a statement. “He will say anything to divert the conversation from the investigation and the indictment he now faces.”

Trump’s Tax Cut Won’t Power the Growth He Predicts, Officials Concede – The New York Times
Trump’s Tax Cut Won’t Power the Growth He Predicts, Officials Concede – The New York Times

“One way to reduce the financial burdens of child care for both single and married females considering working is to reduce the direct costs of care,” the report says, adding, “Regulations that impose minimum standards on providers can decrease the availability and increase the cost of obtaining care, thus serving as a disincentive to work.”

Although the White House forecasts consider those deregulatory efforts and infrastructure spending to be nearly as important to growth as tax cuts, Mr. Trump has made relatively little effort to push states and Congress to enact them.

The reliance on new policies to power additional growth helps explain some of the difference in optimism for future growth between White House forecasters and their counterparts in the Federal Reserve, the Congressional Budget Office and the private sector, who all project significantly slower growth over the next 10 years than Mr. Trump does.

It does not explain why the White House has so much more faith in 3 percent growth this year than other forecasters, who have whittled down their expectations for 2019 in light of increased global obstacles to growth and weaker-than-expected readings of the domestic economy so far this year.

On Wednesday, the Fed will release its new economic projections, which many analysts expect will show a slight softening in growth as a result of a prolonged trade war and an economic slowdown overseas.

The forecast that the Council of Economic Advisers released on Tuesday predicts 3.2 percent growth for 2019 — nearly a full point higher than the growth expected by the Fed.

The chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Kevin Hassett, said the administration’s faith in long-term economic growth came from their forecasters’ ability to correctly peg growth in 2017 and 2018.

‘Obviously a Witch Hunt’: Bongino on New Poll Showing Lack of Trust in Mueller Probe – Fox News Insider
‘Obviously a Witch Hunt’: Bongino on New Poll Showing Lack of Trust in Mueller Probe – Fox News Insider

Fox News contributor Dan Bongino blasted Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation as a “witch hunt,” and he said the American people are ready for it finally to come to a close.

Appearing on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning, Bongino pointed to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll that found that half of Americans believe the Mueller probe is a “witch hunt.”

The poll — which surveyed 1,000 registered voters via live telephone interviews between March 13 and 17 — found that 50 percent of respondents agreed with President Trump’s negative view of Mueller’s probe. 47 percent disagreed, while three percent were not sure. 

Among independents, 54 percent say he is being subject to a “witch hunt,” while 42 percent disagree.

President Trump took to Twitter Monday to tout the poll’s findings.

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, said that Democrats’ focus on the Mueller probe and other Trump investigations will likely be a losing strategy.

“The American people are not stupid. They know it’s a witch hunt,” Bongino said.

He argued that Mueller stacked his investigative team with pro-Hillary Clinton, anti-Trump Democrats, and the probe has been biased against Trump from the start.

“Bob Mueller’s a smart guy. You can’t tell me that decision was made by mistake,” Bongino said. “It’s obviously a witch hunt.”

He added that Mueller was appointed to lead the investigation nearly two years ago, and none of the indictments resulting from the probe have anything to do with Trump-Russia collusion.

“When do we actually get to the collusion? The answer’s never, because it never happened.”

A pilot who hitched a ride on a Lion Air 737 saved that plane. The next day, the same Boeing jet crashed – The Mercury News
A pilot who hitched a ride on a Lion Air 737 saved that plane. The next day, the same Boeing jet crashed – The Mercury News

By Alan Levin and Harry Suhartono | Bloomberg News

As the Lion Air crew fought to control their diving Boeing Co. 737 Max 8, they got help from an unexpected source: an off-duty pilot who happened to be riding in the cockpit.

That extra pilot, who was seated in the cockpit jumpseat, correctly diagnosed the problem and told the crew how to disable a malfunctioning flight-control system and save the plane, according to two people familiar with Indonesia’s investigation.

The next day, under command of a different crew facing what investigators said was an identical malfunction, the same jetliner crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 189 aboard.

The previously undisclosed detail on the earlier Lion Air flight represents a new clue in the mystery of how some 737 Max pilots faced with the malfunction have been able to avert disaster while the others lost control of their planes and crashed. The presence of a third pilot in the cockpit wasn’t contained in Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee’s Nov. 28 report on the crash and hasn’t previously been reported.

The so-called dead-head pilot on the earlier flight from Bali to Jakarta told the crew to cut power to the motor driving the nose down, according to the people familiar, part of a checklist that all pilots are required to memorize.

“All the data and information that we have on the flight and the aircraft have been submitted to the Indonesian NTSC. We can’t provide additional comment at this stage due the ongoing investigation on the accident,” Lion Air spokesman Danang Prihantoro said by phone.

The Indonesia safety committee report said the plane had had multiple failures on previous flights and hadn’t been properly repaired.

Representatives for Boeing and the Indonesian safety committee declined to comment on the earlier flight.

The safety system, designed to keep planes from climbing too steeply and stalling, has come under scrutiny by investigators of the crash as well as a subsequent one less than five months later in Ethiopia. A malfunctioning sensor is believed to have tricked the Lion Air plane’s computers into thinking it needed to automatically bring the nose down to avoid a stall.

Boeing’s 737 Max was grounded March 13 by U.S. regulators after similarities to the Oct. 29 Lion Air crash emerged in the investigation of the March 10 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.

In the wake of the two accidents, questions have emerged about how Boeing’s design of the new 737 model was approved. The Transportation Department’s inspector general is conducting a review of how the plane was certified to fly and a grand jury under the U.S. Justice Department is also seeking records in a possible criminal probe of the plane’s certification.

The FAA last week said it planned to mandate changes in the system to make it less likely to activate when there is no emergency. The agency and Boeing said they are also going to require additional training and references to it in flight manuals.

“We will fully cooperate in the review in the Department of Transportation’s audit,” Boeing spokesman Charles Bickers said in an email. The company has declined to comment on the criminal probe.

After the Lion Air crash, two U.S. pilots’ unions said the potential risks of the system, known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, hadn’t been sufficiently spelled out in their manuals or training. None of the documentation for the Max aircraft included an explanation, the union leaders said.

“We don’t like that we weren’t notified,’’ Jon Weaks, president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Assn., said in November. “It makes us question, ‘Is that everything, guys?’ I would hope there are no more surprises out there.’’

The Allied Pilots Assn. union at American Airlines Group Inc. also said details about the system weren’t included in the documentation about the plane.

Following the Lion Air crash, the FAA required Boeing to notify airlines about the system and Boeing sent a bulletin to all customers flying the Max reminding them how to disable it in an emergency.

Authorities have released few details about Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 other than it flew a “very similar” track as the Lion Air planes and then dove sharply into the ground. There have been no reports of maintenance issues with the Ethiopian Airlines plane before its crash.

If the same issue is also found to have helped bring down Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, one of the most vexing questions crash investigators and aviation safety consultants are asking is why the pilots on that flight didn’t perform the checklist that disables the system.

“After this horrific Lion Air accident, you’d think that everyone flying this airplane would know that’s how you turn this off,” said Steve Wallace, the former director of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s accident investigation branch.

The combination of factors required to bring down a plane in these circumstances suggests other issues may also have occurred in the Ethiopia crash, said Jeffrey Guzzetti, who also directed accident investigations at FAA and is now a consultant.

“It’s simply implausible that this MCAS deficiency by itself can down a modern jetliner with a trained crew,” Guzzetti said.

MCAS is driven by a single sensor near the nose that measures the so-called angle of attack, or whether air is flowing parallel to the length of the fuselage or at an angle. On the Lion Air flights, the angle-of-attack sensor had failed and was sending erroneous readings indicating the plane’s nose was pointed dangerously upward.

    Trump wants to get to the ‘bottom of’ alleged anti-conservative bias on social media – ABC News
    Trump wants to get to the ‘bottom of’ alleged anti-conservative bias on social media – ABC News

    President Donald Trump doubled down on his words of support for conservatives on social media – a group he says has faced “big discrimination.”

    “Things are happening, names are taken off, people aren’t getting through, you’ve heard the same complaints and it seems to be if they are conservative, if they’re Republicans, if they’re in a certain group there’s discrimination and big discrimination,” Trump said.

    “I see it absolutely on Twitter and on Facebook which I have also and others,” Trump said during a joint press conference in the Rose Garden with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday.

    “I get to see what’s going on first hand and it is not good, we use the word ‘collusion’ very loosely all the time and I will tell you there is collusion with respect to that because something has to be going on and when you get the back scene, back office statements made by executives of the various companies and you see the level of, in many cases, hatred they have for a certain group of people who happen to be in power, that happen to have won the election, you say that’s really unfair,” Trump continued. “So something’s happening with those groups of folks who are running Facebook and Google and Twitter and I do think we have to get to the bottom of it.”

    Twitter says it enforces its rules “dispassionately and equally for all users, regardless of their background or political affiliation.”

    His comments come on the heels of a lawsuit by Rep. Devin Nunes, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who is suing political strategist Liz Mair, Twitter and two twitter accounts for negligence, defamation, insulting words and civil conspiracy.

    The lawsuit was first reported by Fox News.

    In the complaint, Nunes says Twitter is “knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform.”

    “The accounts, known as @DevinNunesMom and @DevinNunesCow often pushed content that Nunes’ lawyers say was “for the sole purpose of attacking, defaming, disparaging and demeaning Nunes. Between February 2018 and March 2019, Twitter allowed @DevinNunesMom to post hundreds of egregiously false, defamatory, insulting,abusive, hateful, scandalous and vile statements about Nunes that without question violated Twitter’s Terms of Service and Rules, including a seemingly endless series of tweets that falsely accused Nunes of obstruction of justice, perjury, misuse of classified information, and other federal crimes,” the complaint continued.

    The lawsuit alleges Twitter took no action, while Nunes was being defamed.

    “As part of its agenda to squelch Nunes’ voice, cause him extreme pain and suffering, influence the 2018 Congressional election, and distract, intimidate and interfere with Nunes’ investigation into corruption and Russian involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election, Twitter did absolutely nothing,” the complaint reads.

    The suit says Mair worked with two parody accounts, @DevinNunesMom, which is now defunct, and @DevinCow, which they allege she once suggested others follow.

    On Twitter, Mair has said she is not commenting on the lawsuit.

    A Twitter spokesperson also told ABC News they are not commenting on the suit.

    A Nunes spokesperson confirms the report but declined to comment any further, simply pointing back to the Fox News report.

    Republicans in the past have complained about so-called “shadow banning” – with the president tweeting about it over the summer.

    “Shadow banning” is when a user’s content on social media is not readily available to other users, giving the impression that they are banned from the site.

    Twitter has said it does not employ the practice.

    “We do not shadow ban. You are always able to see the tweets from accounts you follow (although you may have to do more work to find them, like go directly to their profile),” the social media site wrote in a blog post last year. “And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.”

    Mueller team cites ‘press of other work’ in seeking delay until April 1 over request to open Manafort records – The Washington Post
    Mueller team cites ‘press of other work’ in seeking delay until April 1 over request to open Manafort records – The Washington Post

    March 19 at 7:06 PM

    Prosecutors with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team on Tuesday cited the “press of other work” in asking a judge to give them until April 1 to respond to the court about a request from The Washington Post to unseal records in Paul Manafort’s criminal case.

    In a two-page filing, Deputy Solicitor General Michael R. Dreeben and prosecutor Adam C. Jed wrote, “Counsel responsible for preparing the response face the press of other work and require additional time to consult within the government.”

    A response had been due March 21. The filing did not detail the nature of the consultation.

    The Post has objected to the abundance of sealed and redacted records in Manafort’s Washington case and petitioned the judge in his case, Amy Berman Jackson, to open them to public view.

    The news outlet’s motion, filed on the eve of Manafort’s recent sentencings in the District and Virginia, cited “the profound public interest in these proceedings,” arguing that the integrity of the country’s elections “goes to the core of the interests protected by the First Amendment.”

    The special-counsel filing seeking the extension comes amid several public signs that the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is winding down and heightened speculation that Mueller could any day transmit his final report to Attorney General William P. Barr.

    Mueller’s team, once filled with 17 lawyers, will soon be down to 10. The special counsel’s office confirmed in recent days that Zainab Ahmad’s detail has ended, and Andrew Weissmann will soon be leaving for the private sector. No one has been charged by the special counsel since longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone was indicted in January for allegedly lying to Congress.

    Lawmakers, meanwhile, have been taking steps to urge the Justice Department to make Mueller’s findings public, although it is unclear whether and to what extent that will happen. The House last week voted overwhelmingly to urge the Justice Department to publicly release Mueller’s entire report, with 420 Democrats and Republicans supporting the measure and not a single person voting no.

    [In overwhelmingly bipartisan vote, House calls for Mueller report to be made public]

    The special-counsel regulations do not require Barr to release Mueller’s report, and in most circumstances the Justice Department does not make public information about those it investigates and does not charge. But the political pressure on the attorney general is expected to be enormous, and legal analysts say the Justice Department might be hard-pressed to resist lawmakers’ demands for transparency.

    Barr has vowed to be as open as possible while also noting that department policies generally do not support his telling all.

    [Paul Manafort is sentenced to a total of 7½ years in prison for conspiracy and fraud, and charged with mortgage fraud by N.Y. ]

    Manafort, 69, was sentenced to a combined 7½ years in prison earlier this month after being convicted in August at trial in Alexandria on bank- and tax-fraud charges and pleading guilty in September in Washington to two conspiracy counts of hiding millions he earned as an unregistered lobbyist for Ukrainian politicians over a decade and attempting to tamper with witnesses.

    [The Washington Post asks court to unseal records in Manafort case]

    The Post asked Jackson to unseal or unredact records after giving the government 10 days to respond, specifying filings, sentencing memos, hearing transcripts and more than 800 pages of exhibits submitted after the special counsel’s office alleged in November that Manafort voided his cooperation agreement by lying to prosecutors.

    Prosecutors at the time said the materials were under seal or blacked out to shield the privacy of uncharged individuals and because of a need to keep secret ongoing criminal investigations, including grand-jury matters.

    The Post has asked that Jackson require prosecutors to notify the court within seven days once any related pending investigation ends to consider further unsealing of materials, and that prosecutors tell the court every four weeks their justifications for continuing to keep remaining material sealed.

    Prosecutors in their filing said attorneys for The Post did not oppose the request for an extension beyond the original March 21 deadline. The Post’s attorney, Laura R. Handman of the Davis Wright Tremaine law firm, said the government’s filing spoke for itself.

    A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.

    Midwest flooding: Before and after satellite images reveal destruction in Nebraska and Iowa – USA TODAY
    Midwest flooding: Before and after satellite images reveal destruction in Nebraska and Iowa – USA TODAY

    Deadly, fast-rising floodwaters have forced thousands of people to flee their homes in Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri.

    At least three deaths have been blamed on the flooding, the result of a combination of runoff into rivers from the “bomb cyclone” storm that hit the country last week and spring snowmelt.

    Satellite images provided by DigitalGlobe offer a before-and-after view of the historic flooding of the Missouri and Platte rivers south of Omaha, Nebraska.

    The images capture the devastation the flood brought to areas along the river, including parts of Offutt Air Force Base and towns in Nebraska and Iowa.

    Below is an image that provides an aerial view of Offutt AFB before and after the floodwaters rose.

    The floodwaters have displaced more than 2,000 Iowans, who fled after heavy rains triggered flooding last week.

    This image shows the flood’s impact in Pacific Junction, Iowa.

    Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News
    Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News

    President Donald Trump and Meghan McCain.
    (AP and Fox news)

    The feud between President Trump and John’s McCain family escalated Tuesday as a top campaign adviser clashed with daughter Meghan McCain, and the president himself declared he’s “not a fan” of the late Republican senator.

    “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump told reporters at the White House, during a meeting with Brazil’s visiting president.

    The comments comes after Meghan McCain, who on Monday tore into the president during an emotional segment on “The View,” went back on the offensive on social media. The 34-year-old shared a Toronto Star cartoon on Instagram showing her late father’s military medals side-by-side with a collection of pacifiers under the heading, “Donald Trump.”

    Shortly afterward, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back by mocking her post with one of her own.

    MEGHAN MCCAIN SLAMS DONALD TRUMP IN EMOTIONAL ‘THE VIEW’ SEGMENT: ‘HE WILL NEVER BE A GREAT MAN’

    Pierson shared an edited version of the cartoon with the presidential seal replacing the pacifiers under Trump’s name. The cartoonist’s name and the Toronto Star had also been cropped out of the image.

    The latest shots were fired after McCain hammered Trump on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

    “He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,” she said.

    “My father was his kryptonite in life and he was kryptonite in death. On a personal level, all of us have love and families and when my father was alive until adulthood we would spend our time fishing, cooking, really celebrating life and I think it’s because he almost died.

    MEGHAN McCAIN HAS SHARP RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S JOHN MCCAIN DOSSIER TWEET

    “And I just thought ‘your life is spent on weekends not with your family, not with your friends but obsessing.’ Obsessing over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life.”

    McCain closed out the rebuke by adding: “I genuinely feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine having a father that does this on the weekends.”

    Trump has repeatedly tweeted about John McCain in recent days, falsely claiming the late senator graduated “last in his class” at Annapolis and slamming his role in the Russia investigation.

    “So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

    COURT FILES REVEAL ROLE OF MCCAIN, ASSOCIATE IN SPREADING ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER

    On Saturday, the president responded to reports McCain and an associate had shared with the FBI and various media outlets the unverified dossier alleging that Moscow held compromising information on Trump.

    “Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier ‘is, unfortunately, a very dark stain against John McCain.’ Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel,” Trump wrote.

    “He had far worse ‘stains’ than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace [of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act] after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!”

    Meghan McCain, bristling at the remark, fired back with her own Twitter post, in which she said that “no one will ever love you the way they loved my father.”

    Trump has made of habit of attacking McCain, even after the former Arizona senator’s death in August last year.

    One day before last year’s fatal crash, Lion Air’s Boeing 737 Max 8 was reportedly saved by an off-duty pilot – CNBC

    One day before the deadly crash of a Lion Air plane on Oct. 29 last year, pilots flying that Boeing 737 Max 8 lost control of the aircraft — but they were saved by an off-duty colleague riding in the cockpit, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

    That off-duty pilot correctly identified the problem the crew was facing and guided them to disable the flight control system in order to save the plane, according to the report, which cited two people familiar with the investigation in Indonesia.

    Investigators said the flight control system malfunction that day was identical to what brought down the same aircraft the next day, according to the report. The Boeing plane, operated by a different crew, crashed into Indonesia’s Java Sea, killing all 189 on board.

    Lion Air did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. A Lion Air spokesman told Bloomberg that the airline has submitted all data and information to Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee and cannot comment further due to the ongoing investigation.

    Boeing declined to comment, while the Indonesian safety committee did not immediately reply to CNBC’s request for comment.

    Less than five months after the Lion Air crash, on March 10, a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed. None of the 157 on board survived.

    The two fatal accidents involving the same plane model led to authorities around the world — including in the U.S., Europe, China and Indonesia — to ground Boeing 737 Max planes. The U.S. Department of Transportation said on Tuesday it has asked to audit the Federal Aviation Administration’s approval of Boeing’s 737 Max 8 planes.

    For the full report on what happened the day before the Lion Air plane crash, read Bloomberg.

      Co-sponsor of the ‘Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act’ brings lawsuit against people who are mean to him online – Washington Examiner
      Co-sponsor of the ‘Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act’ brings lawsuit against people who are mean to him online – Washington Examiner

      Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is very mad that people make fun of him on Twitter.

      He’s so mad, in fact, that he’s bringing a $250-plus million defamation lawsuit against the social media company and his Twitter antagonists, including accounts titled “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow.”

      Because the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and co-sponsor of the “Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act” apparently has nothing better to do.

      The lawsuit, which seeks $250 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages, according to Fox News, accuses Twitter of “shadow-banning” the congressman and other conservative voices by hiding their tweets. It also accuses Twitter of “ignoring” complaints of abusive behavior.

      The social media site is guilty of “knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform,” the congressman alleges.

      He also claims Twitter actively worked to undermine and delegitimize his efforts last year to investigate government surveillance abuses when he served as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. The congressman argues further that the influential social media site has a duty to police its users.

      In 2018, Nunes “endured an orchestrated defamation campaign of stunning breadth and scope, one that no human being should ever have to bear and suffer in their whole life,” his complaint reads.

      Examples of the indignities suffered by the congressman include that someone “hijacked Nunes’ name, falsely impersonated Nunes’ mother, and created and maintained an account on Twitter (@DevinNunesMom) for the sole purpose of attacking, defaming, disparaging and demeaning Nunes.”

      The complaint adds, “In her endless barrage of tweets, Devin Nunes’ Mom maliciously attacked every aspect of Nunes’ character, honesty, integrity, ethics and fitness to perform his duties as a United States Congressman.”

      “Devin Nunes’ Mom,” it continues, “stated that Nunes had turned out worse than Jacob Wohl; falsely accused Nunes of being a racist, having ‘white supremist friends’ and distributing ‘disturbing inflammatory racial propaganda’; falsely accused Nunes of putting up a ‘Fake News MAGA’ sign outside a Texas Holocaust museum; falsely stated that Nunes would probably join the ‘Proud Boys’, if it weren’t for that unfortunate ‘nomasturbating’ rule’; disparagingly called him a ‘presidential fluffer and swamp rat’; falsely stated that Nunes had brought ‘shame’ to his family; repeatedly accused Nunes of the crime of treason, compared him to Benedict Arnold, and called him a ‘traitor.'”

      The fake “mom” account has since been suspended by Twitter.

      Another account, “Devin Nunes’ Cow,” called the congressman a “treasonous cowpoke” and an “udder-ly worthless” felon. This account is still active.

      Both the “mom” and the “cow” accounts are listed as defendants in the California lawmaker’s lawsuit.

      “As part of its agenda to squelch Nunes’ voice, cause him extreme pain and suffering, influence the 2018 Congressional election, and distract, intimidate and interfere with Nunes’ investigation into corruption and Russian involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election, Twitter did absolutely nothing,” the complaint reads.

      It also accuses GOP operative Liz Mair of publishing tweets implying the congressman had “colluded with prostitutes and cocaine addicts,” that he “does cocaine,” and that he “was involved in a ‘Russian money laundering front.’”

      “The lawsuit alleged defamation, conspiracy and negligence, as well as violations of the state’s prohibition against ‘insulting words’ – effectively fighting words that tend towards ‘violence and breach of the peace,’” Fox explained. “The complaint sought not only damages, but also an injunction compelling Twitter to turn over the identities behind numerous accounts he said harassed and defamed him.”

      The congressman’s personal attorneys said elsewhere in a statement that, “Twitter is a machine. It is a modern-day Tammany Hall. Congressman Nunes intends to hold Twitter fully accountable for its abusive behavior and misconduct.”

      The lawsuit alleges Twitter has gone well beyond merely hosting content. It claims the social media site actively curates and encourages certain types of posts, including those that make fun of Nunes.

      It’s like these people have never heard of the Streisand Effect.

      If these Twitter troll accounts are as damaging and hurtful as the congressman alleges, he just gave them a national audience. Thousands and thousands of people who otherwise would have never known about any of this now know (or will soon know) that someone once called Nunes a “treasonous cowpoke” thanks to his lawsuit.

      Since announcing his lawsuit, the “Devin Nunes’ Cow” account has gone from 1,000 to 115,000 followers.

      That’s called a “self-own.”

      Michael Cohen investigation involved secretive "Triggerfish" tracking device – CBS News
      Michael Cohen investigation involved secretive "Triggerfish" tracking device – CBS News

      The FBI wanted Michael Cohen’s cell phones, but knew they couldn’t be found at his home. The problem: Cohen and his family had moved into a hotel while renovating their apartment.

      The solution, on April 8, 2018, was to use a controversial surveillance technology to determine his exact location: Room 1728 at the Loews Regency Hotel.

      An FBI special agent wrote in an affidavit unsealed Tuesday that federal agents “sought and obtained authority to employ an electronic technique, commonly known as ‘triggerfish,’ to determine the locations” of Cohen’s two iPhones.

      Federal agents later obtained a warrant to retrieve the phones from the room. A court-ordered Special Master later determined that federal agents could review the vast majority of nearly 300,000 files on the two phones, as well as an iPad obtained in the search.

      Triggerfish devices — often referred to as Stingrays — mimic cell phone towers, allowing them to pinpoint a phone’s location, sometimes even before it makes a call or text.

      “Stingrays” secretly track cellphones

      It is not clear exactly what information other than location that law enforcement gleaned from its use of a Stingray targeting Cohen. The devices also capable of collecting the calls, text messages and even the emails sent to and from phones.

      And because they act as cell towers, they don’t just collect information from the targets of investigations. Stingrays are capable of taking in information from entire neighborhoods, which is why civil liberties groups have for years objected to their use.

      The devices are made by defense contractor Harris Corporation, and its patents indicate Stingrays and similar devices have been used for about two decades, though law enforcement rarely acknowledges their use.

      The government has even withdrawn charges against criminal defendants rather than turning over information to defense teams about the Stingray, according to a 2017 policy analysis by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank.

      As a result, it’s not clear just how widespread use of the devices is. In a November 2018 report, the ACLU cataloged Stingray use by 75 agencies in 27 states and the District of Columbia, but that list is almost certainly incomplete. The ACLU found 14 federal agencies that use the devices, but does not currently include one identified by CBS News: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

      In response to a 2016 Freedom of Information Act request filed by CBS News, the agency wrote it could not “disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigation and prosecutions.”

      Much of the Midwest is dealing with catastrophic flooding this week along the Missouri and Mississippi river basins, the result of a hurricane-like winter storm called a “bomb cyclone” that dropped huge amounts of rain, melted existing snow and caused torrents of water to wash nearly unimpeded across the frozen ground.

      The worst flooding has been in Nebraska and Iowa, but parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and bordering states were also affected and may have to contend with more flooding this week. Several people have died, and hundreds more have been driven from their homes. Access to some places has been completely cut off by high water.

      This false-color satellite image from March 15 shows snow cover to the west and flooding along the Missouri River in the very dark areas. Compared to the same area last May, the swollen tributaries of the Mississippi River are apparent. The reddish areas are vegetation, and the white areas are snow.


      Swollen tributaries of the Mississippi River appear dark in this false color image from the ESA Sentinel satellite.

      On March 14, Spencer Dam on the Niobrara River gave way and an 11-foot wall of water rushed through. A hydroelectric plant just downstream was destroyed when the dam broke and an ice floe rammed the building.


      False-color images of Omaha show the swollen Platt and Missouri rivers, compared to the same area in February.

      About one third of Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha was underwater as of March 17, including 3,000 feet of the base’s 11,700-foot runway. At least 30 buildings were damaged, according to Air Force Times. The 55th Wing headquarters and two aircraft maintenance facilities were inundated by up to eight feet of water. U.S. Strategic Command headquarters sits at higher elevation and was not affected.

      Images from DigitalGlobe show the extent of the flooding.

      Just south of the air base, the town of La Platte was inundated.

      On the other side of the Missouri River in western Iowa, the entire town of Pacific Junction was evacuated.

      Susan Walsh/AP

      The U.S. Supreme Court, narrowly divided along ideological lines, ruled Tuesday that the government may detain — without a hearing — legal immigrants long after they have served the sentences for crimes they committed.

      The 5-4 decision, which reverses a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, is widely viewed as a victory for the Trump administration and its hardline immigration policies. It, like the Obama administration, had argued that the government has the authority to pick up and detain immigrants for deportation at any time, and is not required to act only immediately after a prison or jail sentence has been served.

      Writing for the conservative majority, Justice Samuel Alito, said immigration law mandates the detention of “deportable criminal aliens” even if it is years later.

      Alito wrote that it is “especially hard to swallow” the notion that “the alien must be arrested on the day he walks out of jail.”

      “As we have held time and again, an official’s duties are better carried out late than never,” he wrote.

      Writing for the court’s dissenting liberal wing, Justice Stephen Breyer warned that the ruling gives the government too much power. The law is clear, he wrote, that the government cannot hold an immigrant without a bail hearing unless the individual is detained when released from criminal custody.

      To underscore his dissent, Breyer read aloud part of his opinion.

      “In deciphering the intent of the Congress that wrote this statute, we must decide — in the face of what is, at worst, linguistic ambiguity — whether Congress intended that persons who have long since paid their debt to society would be deprived of their liberty for months or years without the possibility of bail,” Breyer wrote.

      “We cannot decide that question without bearing in mind basic American legal values: the Government’s duty not to deprive any ‘person’ of ‘liberty’ without ‘due process of law,’ ” he added.

      The high court’s ruling comes in response to two unrelated class-action cases.

      In one case, Mony Preap, a legal permanent resident from Cambodia was arrested and convicted of marijuana possession in 2006. But he wasn’t detained by federal authorities until 2013 following another sentence for battery — a non-deportable offense. Preap remains in the U.S. after successfully challenging his deportation case.

      In the companion case before the court, Bassam Yusuf Khoury, described in court papers as “a native of Palestine,” served a 30-day sentence on a drug charge in 2011. Two years later, federal authorities detained and tried to deport him. He was held for six months before a judge ordered his release. Khoury also won his deportation case and still resides in the U.S.

      The American Civil Liberties Union represented both plaintiffs. The ACLU’s Deputy Legal Director Cecilia Wang said Tuesday’s ruling follows another decision last year that limited the rights of immigrants to bond hearings.

      “For two years in a row now, the Supreme Court has endorsed the most extreme interpretation of immigration detention statutes, allowing mass incarceration of people without any hearing, simply because they are defending themselves against a deportation charge,” said Wang in a statement. “We will continue to fight the gross overuse of detention in the immigration system.”

      Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News
      Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News

      President Donald Trump and Meghan McCain.
      (AP and Fox news)

      The feud between President Trump and John’s McCain family escalated Tuesday as a top campaign adviser clashed with daughter Meghan McCain, and the president himself declared he’s “not a fan” of the late Republican senator.

      “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump told reporters at the White House, during a meeting with Brazil’s visiting president.

      The comments comes after Meghan McCain, who on Monday tore into the president during an emotional segment on “The View,” went back on the offensive on social media. The 34-year-old shared a Toronto Star cartoon on Instagram showing her late father’s military medals side-by-side with a collection of pacifiers under the heading, “Donald Trump.”

      Shortly afterward, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back by mocking her post with one of her own.

      MEGHAN MCCAIN SLAMS DONALD TRUMP IN EMOTIONAL ‘THE VIEW’ SEGMENT: ‘HE WILL NEVER BE A GREAT MAN’

      Pierson shared an edited version of the cartoon with the presidential seal replacing the pacifiers under Trump’s name. The cartoonist’s name and the Toronto Star had also been cropped out of the image.

      The latest shots were fired after McCain hammered Trump on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

      “He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,” she said.

      “My father was his kryptonite in life and he was kryptonite in death. On a personal level, all of us have love and families and when my father was alive until adulthood we would spend our time fishing, cooking, really celebrating life and I think it’s because he almost died.

      MEGHAN McCAIN HAS SHARP RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S JOHN MCCAIN DOSSIER TWEET

      “And I just thought ‘your life is spent on weekends not with your family, not with your friends but obsessing.’ Obsessing over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life.”

      McCain closed out the rebuke by adding: “I genuinely feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine having a father that does this on the weekends.”

      Trump has repeatedly tweeted about John McCain in recent days, falsely claiming the late senator graduated “last in his class” at Annapolis and slamming his role in the Russia investigation.

      “So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

      COURT FILES REVEAL ROLE OF MCCAIN, ASSOCIATE IN SPREADING ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER

      On Saturday, the president responded to reports McCain and an associate had shared with the FBI and various media outlets the unverified dossier alleging that Moscow held compromising information on Trump.

      “Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier ‘is, unfortunately, a very dark stain against John McCain.’ Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel,” Trump wrote.

      “He had far worse ‘stains’ than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace [of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act] after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!”

      Meghan McCain, bristling at the remark, fired back with her own Twitter post, in which she said that “no one will ever love you the way they loved my father.”

      Trump has made of habit of attacking McCain, even after the former Arizona senator’s death in August last year.

      Updated at 6:15 p.m. ET

      The White House says President Trump will nominate Stephen Dickson, a former executive and pilot at Delta Air Lines, to lead the Federal Aviation Administration.

      The FAA has come under criticism for failing to quickly ground the Boeing 737 Max after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet this month, the second fatal crash of the Boeing plane in recent months. The FAA grounded the planes only after other nations did so.

      Acting Administrator Daniel Elwell told NPR’s Morning Edition that the agency had been waiting for data to establish a “common thread” between the two crashes before grounding the planes.

      The FAA has not had a permanent administrator since Michael Huerta, an Obama administration holdover, resigned in early 2018. Elwell has been serving as acting administrator in the interim.

      According to a White House statement, Dickson recently retired as the senior vice president for flight operations at Delta, where he was “responsible for the safety and operational performance of Delta’s global flight operations, as well as pilot training.”

      There have been reports that pilots were upset at the lack of training provided by Boeing for the new plane, as well as criticism that the agency has grown too chummy with the company.

      In choosing Dickson to lead the agency, the White House has nominated a former pilot who has flown Boeing jets, including the 737, during his career at Delta and whom it calls “a strong advocate for commercial aviation safety and improvements to our National Airspace System, having served as chairman of several industry stakeholder groups and Federal advisory committees.”

      The nomination was announced after the FAA’s inspector general launched a probe of the agency’s decision to certify the 737 Max, first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao confirmed the audit on Tuesday, asserting in a statement that “safety is the top priority of the Department, and all of us are saddened by the fatalities resulting from the recent accidents involving two Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft in Indonesia and Ethiopia.”

      Saagar Enjeti deserves better than Jim Acosta’s scorn – Washington Examiner
      Saagar Enjeti deserves better than Jim Acosta’s scorn – Washington Examiner

      CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta is wrong. Saagar Enjeti’s question to President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil on Tuesday was both justified and sensible. The Daily Caller’s White House reporter asked Bolsonaro how the election of a socialist president might alter his policy towards the U.S.

      The Brazilian president’s interest in U.S. relations is focused on closer economic and national security partnerships. The socialistic policies now being promoted by top 2020 Democratic presidential aspirants would feasibly weaken the U.S. military, damage the U.S. economy, and obstruct trade opportunities with Brazil. In that sense, Bolsonaro would have good rationale to think more cautiously of U.S. engagement under a Democratic president.

      Enjeti thus deserves credit for raising the question. Acosta sees it differently. He described Enjeti’s question as a “softball.”

      Acosta does himself and his network no service by attacking another journalist with such a petulant rebuke. Yes, Enjeti gets called on by the president quite frequently. And yes, there’s a good argument to make that CNN’s staple of White House reporters deserve more questions. We are a democracy of pluralistic viewpoints, after all.

      But Enjeti is a good reporter and one who always asks pertinent questions of political import. Just before his question for Bolsonaro, Enjeti asked President Trump two very relevant questions about Democrats wanting to expand the Supreme Court and California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes’ lawsuit against Twitter.

      Suggesting otherwise without merit, Acosta lends to the idea that his interest is not in straight news reporting, but rather in opinion messaging.

      2020 Democrats push for increasing the number of Supreme Court justices

      Republican lawmakers announced Tuesday that they would be introducing a constitutional amendment this week that would stop the recent push by some Democrats to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court.

      Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., slammed calls by 2020 Democratic hopefuls to increase the number of sitting judges as “dangerous” and a threat to the balance of power among the three branches of government.

      “Schemes to pack the court are dangerous to the Founders’ vision of an independent judiciary that serves as a check on both the Executive and Legislative branches of government,” he wrote on Twitter.

      Green said he intends to file a constitutional amendment Thursday that would limit the number of justices to 9 – the number it has been since 1869.

      “The Supreme Court must remain a fair and impartial branch of government not beholden to party.”

      Several Democrats on the campaign trail, including former Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., have signaled their openness to expanding the number of judges on the court if they enter the White House.

      2020 DEMOCRATS EYE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN SUPREME COURT JUSTICES: ‘ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE’

      But Republicans fired back, with even the President saying “it will never happen.”

      Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden on Tuesday that the move to increase seats comes after the new administration was able to seat two new judges -Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – following the Dems’ loss in the 2016 elections.

      “I wouldn’t entertain that. The only reason that they’re doing that is they want to try and catch up, so if they can’t catch up through the ballot box by winning an election, they want to try doing it in a different way,” he said.

      TRUMP FIRES BACK AT DEM’S COURT-PACKING PUSH: ‘IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN’

      Other Republican lawmakers have backed Green’s proposal, including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who also announced plans to introduce a similar measure in the Senate.

      “We must prevent further destabilization of essential institutions,” he wrote on Twitter. “Court packing is quickly becoming a litmus test for 2020 Democratic candidates.”

      Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called increasing calls for expanding the court “ironic.”

      “I find it ironic Democrats want to increase the size of the Supreme Court, but gut the military.”

      Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called the idea to expand the courts “radical.”

      The Constitution does not establish a set number of justices; that is up to Congress. There were initially six members of the high court — then seven, then nine, then down to eight, then up to ten for a while, then back down to eight, and then ticking up to nine in 1869.

      Fox News’ Adam Shaw and Bill mears contributed to this report.

        Mozambique Cyclone Rescuers Struggle to Reach Victims in ‘Inland Ocean’ – The New York Times

        MAPUTO, Mozambique — Rescue workers struggled Tuesday to reach areas devastated by a huge cyclone in Mozambique, as heavy rains swelled rivers and further isolated flooded communities in what aid agencies called the worst natural disaster in southern Africa in two decades.

        In central Mozambique, the area hit hardest by Cyclone Idai, overflowing rivers created “an inland ocean” where countless people were still marooned, a United Nations official said.

        Rescue workers reported seeing people on rooftops and in trees days after the storm struck. In areas near the rivers, homes were submerged, with water rising near the tops of telephone poles.

        “We took an aerial survey, and as far as the eye can see, there was flooding, and deep as well,” said Jamie LeSueur, who was leading rescue efforts in central Mozambique for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. “What we are now facing is large-scale flooding on top of an area already devastated by the cyclone.”
