The suspect believed to have ambushed a Southern California sheriff’s deputy this week was left dead Wednesday after a shooting that also injured two police officers, authorities said. 

Officers with the San Bernardino Police SWAT unit were attempting to take the unidentified suspect into custody in connection with the deputy shooting just before 3:40 p.m. when gunfire erupted, San Bernardino police Lt. Michele Mahan told reporters. 

“Two of our officers were shot,” Mahan said. “Both of them were able to speak at the time our own officers transported them to a local hospital.”

The suspect, who had been under surveillance for several hours Wednesday, was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident occurred in the city of Highland, 66 miles east of Los Angeles. The officers’ injuries were not disclosed but they are expected to survive, Mahan said. 

Two San Bernardino police officers were injred Wednesday in a shooting that left another person dead. The incident came a day after a sheriff’s deputy was attacked while trying to pull over a vehicle nearby.

Fox News has reached out to the San Bernardino police and sheriff’s departments. 

The incident came a day after a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy was shot while trying to pull over a motorist. The deputy was fired upon as he turned a corner during a brief car chase, authorities said. He remains hospitalized in stable condition. 

“He was able to immediately get out of his vehicle and as the deputy tried to catch up… he was able to retrieve a rifle from the vehicle,” San Bernardino police Sgt. Equino Thomas told Fox News. “As the deputy turned, the suspect fired multiple rounds.”

“Based on the actions of that suspect, he did, he ambushed that deputy,” he added. 

The deputy’s patrol SUV was found torched at the scene. Investigators are still trying to determine how the vehicle caught fire.

Morris said by spearheading innovative partnerships and leveraging resources from ASU, tribes and community organizations, she hopes that Inno-NATIONS will create a “collision community,” causing a ripple effect of economic change in tribal communities.

The first collision takes place with the inaugural learning lab series, “Beyond Buckskin: Beyond Online” on March 1 followed by “Protection in All Directions: A Fashion & Resistance Awareness Event” on March 4. The latter will include discussions, multi-media discussions and a fashion show highlighting local Native American designers including Jared Yazzie of OxDX.

Both events are free and take place at The Department in downtown Phoenix.

Inno-NATIONS will also launch a three-day pilot cohort with approximately 20 Native American businesses starting in June.

“Beyond Buckskin” features Jessica Metcalfe, a Turtle Mountain Chippewa, Dartmouth graduate and entrepreneur, who grew a small online store into a successful boutique on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

The store promotes and sells Native American-made couture, streetwear, jewelry, and accessories from more than 40 Native American and First Nations artist, employing tribe members from the Turtle Mountain community.

ASU Now spoke to Metcalfe to discuss her work.

Jessica Metcalfe

Question: We’ve seen Native American fashion emerge and evolve. How did you get into the business?

Answer: I was writing my master’s thesis in 2005 and my advisor at the time had told me about some research she had done, which looked at Native American fashion in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. She had wondered if I was interested in picking up where her research left off. I looked into it and found that there were these breadcrumbs, little bits here in there, that something had been going on in the past 60-70 years, but hadn’t been looked at as a collective movement.

Through my doctoral dissertation, what I discovered was that Native American fashion has gone through waves of acknowledgements by the broader public, but what we’re experiencing now is perhaps the biggest wave yet.

You have designers like Patricia Michaels out at New York’s Style Fashion Week and the Native Fashion Now traveling exhibit touring the country, so there’s really a lot of exciting things happening lately. It’s coming from a collective movement. Designers basically grouping together to share costs but also to put together more events to cause a bigger ruckus.

Q: How did you build your online store into a brick-and-mortar business?

A: I first launched a blog in 2009 as an outlet for my dissertation research, and wanted to share it with more people and to also get more stories and experiences. My readers kept asking where could they see and buy these clothes? At that time, there wasn’t an easy way to access functions like a Native American Pow Wow or market in order to do that.

I had established a rapport with designers through my research and writing. They saw what I was doing through the blog and then a question popped into my head. “How would you feel about creating a business together?” There were 11 initial designers who said they needed the space, and I worked with them to sell their goods online. We just now opened our design lab on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. We are creating a system where we can meet demand and maximize a need in Indian Country.

We employ Native Americans from ages 15 to 22. There aren’t a whole lot of opportunities for people that age on the reservation. They either work at the grocery store or the gas station. One of them is interested in film and photography and so they run our photo shoots. Another person is interested in business entrepreneurship, and they get to see how an idea goes from concept to execution.

Q: The subtext is that this isn’t just about fashion but, history, representation and cultural appropriation?

A: Our clothing is just more than just objects. It’s about how the material was gathered, what the colors represent, what stories are being told and how does that tie into our value system. One of the things I often discuss is the Native American headdress. Our leaders wear them as a symbol of their leadership and the dedication to their communities. These stories are a way to share our culture with non-Natives and protect our legacy for future generations.

Q: Why is it important for Native American businesses to branch out into other cultures?

A: Native American people desperately need to diversify their economic opportunities on and off the reservations. Up until recently, people haven’t thought of fashion or art as a viable career path.

A recent study conducted by First Peoples Fund that found a third of all Native American people are practicing or are potential artists. That is a huge resource we already have in Indian Country and we need to tap it and develop it, and push for Natives in various fields to look at themselves as entrepreneurs and launching businesses.

Now, Native American people have an opportunity to make a positive impact in their local communities by reaching people through their art and sharing our culture with the rest of the world.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto faced fresh questions on Wednesday about his dealings with a company at the center of a conflict-of-interest scandal, after it emerged that he enjoyed rent-free use of a house belonging to the firm as a campaign office.

Already under pressure over the government’s handling of the presumed massacre of 43 students abducted by corrupt police in southwestern Mexico in September, Pena Nieto is facing his most difficult period since taking office two years ago.

On Nov. 3, the government announced a Chinese-led consortium had won a no bid contract to build a $3.75 billion high-speed rail link in central Mexico.

Three days later, the government abruptly canceled the deal, just before a report by news site Aristegui Noticias showed that a subsidiary of Grupo Higa, a company that formed part of the consortium and had won various previous contracts, owned the luxury house of first lady Angelica Rivera.

Under public pressure, Rivera said she would give up the house. But neither she nor Pena Nieto have addressed the apparent conflict of interest stemming from the government’s business with Grupo Higa.

On Wednesday, Aristegui Noticias published a new story that said Pena Nieto used a different property belonging to another Grupo Higa subsidiary as an office when he was president-elect in 2012.

Eduardo Sanchez, the president’s spokesman, said Pena Nieto unwittingly used the property. Sanchez said it was leased from the Grupo Higa firm by Humberto Castillejos, the president’s legal adviser, who lent it rent-free to Pena Nieto’s team.

“If I invite you to my house, do you come to my house and ask me under whose name it is? Neither does the president,” Sanchez said, denying there were conflicts of interest.

The spokesman also said there were no more properties Pena Nieto or his team had used belonging to Grupo Higa.

“No, there is no other house that was used in a professional capacity,” Sanchez said.

Castillejos could not immediately be reached for comment.

Jorge Luis Lavalle, a senator with the opposition conservative National Action Party, said the public saw a clear conflict of interest in the dealings of Pena Nieto and his government with Grupo Higa.

“It needs to be investigated. All these doubts need to be dispelled fully and clearly,” he said. “We now have another case with no explanation.”

Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old accused of going on a rampage and killing four of his fellow students at Oxford High School in Michigan, was ‘intent on violence,’ prosecutors revealed Thursday.

The most troubling piece of evidence revealed was a drawing of a gun on a math homework sheet with the messages: ‘My life is useless,’ ‘Blood everywhere’ and ‘The thoughts won’t stop, help me.’ 

It’s part of Oakland County prosecutors’ attempt to paint his parents, James and Jennifer, both 43, as neglectful and aware of Ethan’s potential for violence. The prosecutors’ filings include allegations that Ethan’s mother was carrying on an affair while ignoring her son’s spiral and had texted her boyfriend about the murder weapon.

School counselors showed Crumbley’s parents messages and drawings just hours before he fatally shot four and injured seven others on November 30. 

Their son had allegedly drawn the messages earlier that morning and a teacher had found them, took a screenshot and got in touch with a counselor. 

It’s part of a pattern of signs that prosecutors accuse the Crumbleys of ignoring over the past six months suggesting that their teenager needed help. 

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald revealed two versions of a screenshot of Ethan Crumbley’s drawings in a filing Thursday. In the first drawing, pictured, Ethan writes several troubling messages, such as ‘My life is useless,’ ‘Blood everywhere’ and ‘The thoughts won’t stop, help me.’

Pictured: A second piece of homework that Ethan allegedly altered crosses out other disturbing messages and adds ones like ‘video game this is,’ ‘we’re all friends here,’ ‘harmless act,’ ‘I love my life so much!!!!’ and ‘OHS rocks!’

Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald has charged James and Jennifer Crumbley in a rare move to hold the parents of an accused school shooter accountable

The Crumbleys’ lawyers allege the parents were unaware that Ethan, 15 (pictured in court on December 13), was a danger to other students and are ‘devastated by the school shooting’

They say that Jennifer and James ‘failed to take even the simplest actions that would have prevented the massacre’ in court documents. 

Prosecutors also point out that the parents had recently bought Ethan a gun.

The Crumbleys ‘knew their son was depressed, that he was fascinated with guns… that he had been researching ammunition while at a school and that he was seen watching violent videos of shootings that morning,’ prosecutors said, but they purchased the gun for Ethan as an early Christmas present anyway 

‘All they had to do was tell the school that they had recently purchased a gun for their son, asked him where the gun was, opened his backpack or just take him home,’ the prosecution alleges. ‘Defendants were in a better position than anyone else in the world to prevent this tragedy, but they failed to do so.’ 

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald revealed two versions of the photo in the filing. A second version that Ethan allegedly altered crosses out the disturbing messages and adds ones like ‘video game this is,’ ‘we’re all friends here,’ ‘harmless act,’ ‘I love my life so much!!!!’ and ‘OHS rocks!’

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald has been leading the county’s case against the Crumbleys

The Oakland County Prosecutors’ Office submitted filings Thursday in an attempt to keep the Crumbleys’ bond at $500,000

McDonald argued that instead of caring for their son, the Crumbleys spent time with their horses and Jennifer pursued an extramarital affair.  

Prosecutors allege Jennifer Crumbley had told her boyfriend the day of the shooting that the alleged murder weapon had been in her car. 

The filings are part of a response by McDonald to keep Ethan’s parents in jail on $500,000 bond. 

James, 45, and Jennifer, 43, have each been jailed on $500,000 bond since their arrest on December 4. In Wednesday’s filing, defense attorneys Shannon Smith and Mariell Lehman asked that their bond be lowered to $100,000 each and said the couple would wear electronic monitors if released from jail.   

McDonald, however, counters that the Crumbleys are a flight risk. They’re also behind on house payments to the tune of $11,000 and are trying to sell their assets, included horses and their home.  

Ethan is charged as an adult with murder, terrorism and aggravated assault for the deadly shooting at Oxford High School on November 30 that killed four students and injured several others.

Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald charged James and Jennifer Crumbley in a rare move to hold the parents of an accused school shooter accountable.  

James and Jennifer are accused of making a gun accessible to Ethan and for failing to pull him out of school when summoned about his cryptic writings before the shooting on November 30. 

Their lawyers allege that the Crumbleys were unaware Ethan was a danger to other students and are ‘devastated by the school shooting.’ 

Prosecutors have argued that a ‘don’t do it’ text Jennifer sent Ethan the day of the shooting proves she knew what was going on.

Defense attorneys said Jennifer was urging him not to kill himself, and not in reference to the deadly shooting that unfolded, her lawyers allege.

In a court filing seeking lower bond for parents Jennifer and James Crumbley, their attorneys claim the text Jennifer sent Ethan, 15, was a plea not to commit suicide following the shooting that had already taken place and is not an indication the couple knew of their son’s plans. 

In Wednesday’s filing, the defense argued that the prosecution will be unable to prove Jennifer and James knew Ethan would take the gun they bought him as an early Christmas to his high school and fire at other members of the community.

‘The prosecution will not be able to prove that the Crumbleys … knew their son was a danger to other students, or that they knew there was a situation that required them to take care to avoid injuring another,’ the lawyers wrote.

‘The last thing they expected was that a school shooting would take place, or that their son would be responsible

Also, for the first time, the defense shared how James and Jennifer felt following the shooting.

‘The Crumbleys, like every parent and community member, are devastated by the school shooting,’ the court filing alleges. ‘This situation is entirely devastating.’ 

The defense also noted there are community members who would ‘vouch for the Crumbleys’ but who wish to remain anonymous due to the ‘overwhelming media attention’ surrounding the case. 

The legal team offered to provide the names of those individuals privately to the judge and prosecution. 

Their attorneys argued the charges against the parents are ‘inappropriate’ and the case will raise ‘unprecedented legal issues.’

‘It is clear from the media appearances by Ms. McDonald that this case is one she takes very personally, was filed out of anger and filed in an effort to send a message to gun owners,’ the defense stated in court documents.

In Wednesday’s filing, the defense argued the prosecution will be unable to prove Jennifer and James knew Ethan would take the gun they bought him as an early Christmas to his high school (pictured) and fire at other members of the academic community

In an effort to stress their point, the attorneys cited statements McDonald made about the case in a Dec. 18 interview with NPR: 

‘I absolutely acknowledge that it hasn’t been done before, though I didn’t know that at the time,’ McDonald said, according to the filing. 

‘I did receive pushback, but prosecutors don’t like to do things for the first time, and they also don’t like to do things that might result in a ‘not guilty.”

The Crumbleys, like their son, are being held at the Oakland County Jail. 

They were arrested on Dec. 4 after the U.S. Marshals offered a $10,000 bounty for information leading to their capture. Their absence prompted a manhunt involving several agencies, including the Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force, state police and the FBI.

Law enforcement sources say the couple withdrew $4,000 from an ATM and were last seen around 2-3 pm shortly before the 4pm deadline to turn themselves in. 

Smith said they had planned to appear the next day at a different court handling Saturday arraignments and were not trying to flee.

‘It should be noted that the Crumbleys would not have retained (us) if their plans were to flee,’ Smith and Lehman wrote in the filing. 

A bond hearing for the parents has been set for Jan. 7. 

McDonald has said she would oppose a lower bond. The Crumbleys were arrested at a Detroit art studio less than a mile from the Canadian border, hours after their charges were announced and they failed to appear in court on December 3. 

Meantime, Jennifer’s text message to Ethan only added fuel to the narrative surrounding the parents’ alleged knowledge of the shooting. 

Before the shooting, Jennifer bragged on social media about going out with her son to test his Christmas present – a 9mm handgun – just three days before the shooting and just one day after her husband, James, had purchased the gun for Ethan

According to authorities, Ethan was seen in class browsing for ammunition on his cellphone a day before the massacre.

When Jennifer was made aware of her son’s ‘inappropriate’ web search researching firearm ammunition while at school, she texted him: ‘LOL I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught.’ She never responded to the school’s message about the ‘inappropriate internet search.’

Hours before the school shooting begun, the Crumbleys were called to the school to discuss Ethan’s disturbing behavior including drawings depicting a gun, a bullet, blood everywhere, a shooting victim and a laughing emoji.

The note included the words: ‘Thoughts won’t stop, help me’; ‘my life is useless’ and ‘the world is dead,’ McDonald said. After the meeting, the Crumbleys left their son to finish the day at school when he opened fire on his classmates and teachers.   

Both Crumbleys have pled not guilty to all four charges of involuntary manslaughter – one for each Oxford High School student who was killed. Each count is punishable by up to 15 years in prison along with a $7,500 fine and mandatory DNA testing. 

Their 15-year-old son is accused of killing Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Justin Shilling, 17, and injuring several others after opening fire in the school. Ethan was charged as an adult with two dozen crimes, including murder, attempted murder and terrorism, and is being held at the same jail as his parents.

Justin Shilling, 17, (left) died in the hospital the morning after the shooting and Tate Myre (right) died in the school on November 30

‘These two individuals could have stopped it and had every reason to know he was dangerous,’ McDonald told the judge during the Crumbleys’ arraignment. She claimed that not one person in the community would vouch in favor of either Crumbley.

But Smith denied that James and Jennifer had any responsibility for their son’s alleged crimes. She adamantly declared that it is ‘absolutely not true’ that they gave their child ‘free access’ to the weapon he used to kill several students at his Michigan high school.

The Crumbleys appeared in court on December 14 for a 20 minute hearing and asked to reschedule the preliminary exam which was scheduled for Wednesday. The court was adjourned until next month. 

The hearing concluded with Judge Julie Nicholson granting a request by prosecutors and defense lawyers to postpone until February 8 a key preliminary hearing that will determine whether the Crumbleys will face a trial.  

McDonald said she needs more time to collect a ‘staggering’ amount of evidence from investigators and share it with the defense.

The Crumbleys will all spend the holidays in jail pending a bond hearing for the parents in January (Pictured: James Crumbley being escort out of the courtroom on December 14)

‘We have police narratives, we have digital evidence, we have video evidence,’ McDonald later told reporters. ‘We have viewed a lot of it, certainly enough to establish charges here. But there’s also more investigation that needs to be done.’ 

In explaining her decision to seek the delay, the district attorney said she wants to give witnesses ‘time to heal’ through the holiday season before subjecting them to interviews as part of the ongoing investigation, the Detroit Free Press reported.

McDonald added that she and her prosecutors ‘owe it to the victims’ to go through every single piece of evidence and ‘do this right.’  She says that the hearing will involve 15-20 witnesses and last 3-5 days.

The couple did not speak, beyond acknowledging, when asked, that they understood and were waiving their right to a speedy preliminary exam, and confirmed that they wished to continue being represented together by their two attorneys.

Desde las 3:25 de la madrugada de este jueves el volcán Turrialba registra una importante erupción con salida de material que supera los 2.000 metros de altura y la cual se extendió por más de 4 horas.


El vulcanólogo del Ovsicori, Eliecer Duarte, confirma la salida de bloques de material incandescente que se sitúan alrededor del cráter.


“Dadas la dinámica y energía del volcán, las erupciones podrían evolucionar porque se está en un escenario donde se muestran más materiales sólidos incandescentes que muy probable los vecinos puedan observar desde largas distancias sobre la cima del volcán”, agrega Duarte.

We are a week away from summer vacation, and it is hard to believe I am almost done with my first year as a Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School teacher. As I have mentioned before, my first year was full of challenges, as well as many moments of pure joy. I can’t quite pinpoint exactly when I made the choice to pursue a career as an educator, but I know that at some point during the school year, I embraced the challenges and everything that comes with being a teacher. And just like the students from the 2017 graduating class, I feel an enormous sense of pride and gratitude for the MVRHS community. I’m thankful for the knowledgeable and kind teachers and principal who graciously supported me and shared helpful insight that helped guide me throughout the school year. Congratulations, MVRHS class of 2017, I couldn’t be more proud of you.

I asked the Brazilian-American MVRHS students who graduated on Sunday to share their experiences, perspectives, and hopes for the future in this week’s column.

 

Abraham Nunes

High school was an incredible experience for me. Although I did go through tough times, I had the right people by my side to help me and to guide me through challenging times. I can’t say that I enjoyed all of high school, because that would not be true. But what I can say is this: I have no regrets. The person that I am today needed to go through all that for me to be where I am today. All I care about now is the well-being of others. That’s why I fought hard to graduate from high school, being the first one in my family to do so. During graduation, hearing all those people that I care about — my family, friends, and other loved ones — shout my name proudly is what I fought for throughout all four years of high school. I am truly blessed to have so many people by my side, encouraging me to be someone better, someone stronger, taking on every challenge head-on with no hesitation.

Now I’m going to have to fight even harder to be the first one to graduate from college in my family, paving a path for my brothers and little sister to follow when it’s their turn to walk onstage and receive their high school diploma. While in college, I plan on pursuing my dream of becoming an art teacher, allowing me to teach high school students not only necessary skills in the fine arts and crafts but also how art can help you get through tough times. College is a big step for me as well as my family, but it’s a step I will take. Lesley University awaits me, and I plan on giving them my all, just like I gave Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.

I spent my freshman and sophomore year at the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School, which I enjoyed very much. However, I decided to transfer to the regional high school, to play tennis on the girls tennis team and take advanced classes. Taking these harder courses helped me get the Martha’s Vineyard Vision Fellowship Scholarship. Being awarded this scholarship was very beneficial to me, because it helped me take part in an internship over the summer for two years at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital with Dr. Karen Casper, and also helped me financially. I am very excited that I will be attending the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in the fall. I will be on the premed track, in hopes of one day becoming a doctor. I am grateful to have attended the past four years in these wonderful schools, and I hope my project with the Martha’s Vineyard Vision Fellowship will help the Martha’s Vineyard community greatly.

During graduation, I felt a sense of accomplishment and a sense of pride. I felt accomplished and prideful because all of the hard work and effort that I put into everything paid off. Graduating from high school was an achievement in itself, as I was born in Brazil and grew up in America dreaming of getting a higher education. Navigating between these two cultures shaped me into the person I am today, and made me a strong and resilient person, and I am now making my dream of going to college a reality. I am thankful for my parents, who taught me how to dream hard and work even harder. I am thankful for my brother, educators, mentors, peers, and friends who challenged me and believed in me. I am grateful for MV Youth and the scholarship that I was awarded, as it equates to a full ride at the college of my choice. I am thankful for every hand that helped me get to this point in my life. I will become the first in my family to embark on the journey to college, and with this accomplishment comes great responsibility. I strive to set high expectations for my younger brother to follow. My high school experience — well, to keep it simple, let’s just say it was an experience. There were good times and there were bad times throughout the four years. In the near future, I plan on either studying medicine to become an orthopedic surgeon, or studying something pertaining to business. Nonetheless, I am very content with my accomplishments these past four years, and plan to take every opportunity presented in my direction and turn it into something meaningful in the years to come.

 

 

Nayson Perez

This past Sunday I celebrated with my classmates our graduation from MVRHS. I remembered all the good times we had together since elementary school. We celebrate everything we have achieved with a lot of effort. We said goodbye and wished each other good luck in this new stage of our lives. I look forward to going to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I chose this university because of the programs and opportunities it offers, and because it is one of the best public universities in New England. I have been blessed with the MV Youth Scholarship, and I am determined to explore and experiment so that I can find my passion.

 

Ana Della

During my four years in high school, many people kept telling me how fast everything was going to pass. But I’ve never felt like that up until graduation day. From our entrance to the moment we threw our caps up, and then, in a blink of an eye, we were done with this chapter in our lives. I felt as if I was watching a movie about my life, with everything I lived and learned. It is a feeling of finishing one cycle and starting another. We feel happy despite the fact that we have no idea what awaits us in the next few years. All the speeches resonated with me, each had different stories but with the same purpose of wishing success and happiness, to show that we should be proud to be where we are. Graduation is the day that I will keep forever in my heart, with much affection and joy.

New York City’s worst fire disaster in more than 30 years was sparked by a faulty space heater, officials confirmed on Sunday night – killing nine children and ten adults, and leaving dozens more critically injured. 

The five-alarm blaze erupted shortly before 11am on the second and third floor of a 19-story building at 333 East 181st Street in the Bronx. 

FDNY commissioner Daniel Nigro said that ‘very heavy’ fire and smoke ‘extended the entire height of the building’ and confirmed that a space heater caused the blaze.

‘We are investigating where everyone was found, and how the smoke travelled. But marshals have determined that this fire started in a bedroom, in a portable heater. The heat was on in the building. This was being used to supplement the heat,’ he said. 

Nigro said that the smoke alarms were on, and working, in the 1972-built apartment block. 

‘There were functioning smoke alarms throughout the building,’ he said. ‘The first call was a resident hearing the smoke alarm and reporting it.’

There have not been any major building violations or complaints listed against the building, according to city building records obtained by CNN. Past minor violations were rectified by the property and there were no structural violations listed. 

The New York Post reported that there were more than two dozen violations and complaints since 2013 – despite $25 million in state loans for repairs.

The citations, including for vermin infestation and faulty elevators, came after the 2013 infusion of state cash – and before the building was sold to an investment group two years ago.  

The building was most recently the subject of a DOB complaint on March 25 for not having a working elevator, with a similar complaint filed on April 9, 2019. Another complaint cited scaffolding that did not meet safety standards in 2015.

Several residents said the fire alarms were always going off, and residents ignored them.

‘First we heard the fire alarm go off. Numerous times,’ said Michael Joseph, 32, who lived on the sixth floor with his uncle.  

He told DailyMail.com: ‘But we didn’t think nothing of it, because normally people in the building, they smoke and tend to set it off. So we thought it was probably just people playing.’

He also recounted he and his uncle’s desperate escape, with the scene in the stairwell described as ‘the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen.’

‘We looked out the window and we saw all the fire people. Firefighters, firefighters, firefighters,’ said Joseph.

‘The smoke came through our door. Our whole house was jet black – smoke so thick we couldn’t breathe.

‘We almost died in there.’

Joseph, who has lived in the apartment for six years, said he and his uncle tried to stem the smoke pouring in.

‘We tried everything – we tried to put a fan on. We tried to stay in the bathroom. Nothing worked,’ he said.

‘So it got to the point where I said, we have to go. We have to do something now, or else we’ll die in here.’

Joseph said he and his uncle decided to make a run for it. 

‘So I finally opened the door – and in the hallway it was all gone. It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen. So he passed out.

‘So I had to go through the staircase and all you see is people trampling over each other, people getting hurt, stomped on, all kind of things.

‘It was flooded with water and smoke. And I finally got to the bottom and I sent them to get my uncle. That’s why he is alive now.’

Joseph said he was relieved to have survived the ordeal. 

‘They made us wait until the laundromat until it was all clear. We did make it. And they sent us here.’

He said the authorities were helping, and he had been given a hotel for the night.

‘We are getting shelter, food, clothes,’ he said.

‘We have to wait. They are allowing people to go in to get their medication and that’s it.  I just feel so bad for those who lost.’ 

Firefighters were on site through Sunday evening after a five-alarm blaze which erupted shortly before 11am on the second and third floor of a 19-story building at 333 East 181st Street in the Bronx, killing 19 and injuring at least 63

His uncle, Joseph Brannigan, 61, who has terminal cancer, thanked the fire department for saving him. 

‘My nephew said, ‘Joey, we have to get down the stairs, and I said, ‘We can’t. There’s too much smoke in the hallway,” Brannigan told The New York Post.

‘He said, ‘C’mon, we’re going to die in here.’

‘As we tried to get out of the apartment, he grabbed my hand. I lost his hand, and I said, ‘Where are you?’ I collapsed on the floor of my hallway. 

‘Next thing I know, the firemen are dragging me into my apartment. 

‘The firemen smashed all the windows and put oxygen on me.’ 

He said he was overjoyed to have survived. 

‘We won the lottery of life, the big jackpot,’ Brannigan said. 

‘We lost everything in the fire. We lost everything. [But] we are the richest people in the world because we won the lottery of life today.’ 

Chanasia Hunter, who lives on the 10th floor, agreed that the fire alarms would go off frequently.

She told CNN affiliate WABC: ‘How are supposed to know it’s a fire if it’s always going off?’

She said the only way she found out the fire alarm was legitimate was when a person who lived on the third floor – where the flames were burning – called her.

‘I looked out the back of the window and that’s where we see the fire just fighting outside the window, and they have to break open the windows to let people out,’ Hunter said.

‘We heard screaming, we saw the windows bursting out. We saw people getting saved.’

Hunter said she was able to escape because officials knocked on her door. She said smoke was coming into people’s apartments.

‘I was coming down the stairs and saw a body sitting on the floor. This is crazy, this building has been here for years and this has never happened before,’ she said.

‘I’m just sad because this is like a family. 

‘We lost a lot of lives, and it hurts very bad, especially children and even elders. I see these people every day, it’s hurtful.’ 

Michael Joseph (left), 32, told DailyMail.com that the stairwell, where he fled the building, was ‘the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen’ – with people trampling each other to escape, and the building full of smoke and water. Dana Campbell (right) said she watched in horror as her six children begged to be rescued from their third-floor apartment

Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, told those caught up in the fire: ‘It’s hard to fathom what they are going through. We will not forget you, we will not abandon you – we are here for you’

Asked whether people knew how to escape, Nigro said: ‘On buildings like this there are no fire escapes. There are interior stairways. So people would have been aware of the exits.

‘I think some of them could not escape due to the volume of smoke.’  

He added: ‘Members found victims on every floor, in stairwells.

‘The last time we had a loss of life that may be this horrific was a fire which was over 30 years ago, also here in the Bronx,’ he added.  

Commissioner Nigro said the door to the apartment where the fire started was left open, which helped fuel the fire and allowed the smoke to spread. 

‘We’ve spread the word, ‘close the door, close the door,’ to keep a fire contained, he said. 

Dana Campbell, a 45-year-old City Parks employee, said that she was not home at the time of the fire, but her six children were inside – and she had to watch from the sidewalk as they screamed for help from the third floor bedroom. 

‘They were trapped in a bedroom screaming for help out the window,’ she told DailyMail.com.

‘I was on the sidewalk and I couldn’t help them.

‘I was watching them screaming for help and I couldn’t help them.’

She said they told her it was ‘horrific’.  

‘It was scary for them. They saw black smoke, they saw flames.’

Campbell said that she was never particularly concerned about the risk of fire, and was proud of her children – the oldest aged 19 – for their quick thinking. 

‘My thought was always that the building was built to not burn. The overall structure is intact, I guess.

‘I never really had concern for fire.

‘We have two smoke detectors.

‘We had a plan, but when it happened I wasn’t home.

‘They started to panic.

‘But they were smart – they put wet towels by the doors, and filled the bath.’

All six escaped unharmed, and are currently sheltering at the Red Cross center. 

Julia Fowler, who lives on the ninth floor, told DailyMail.com that a relative told her to flee. 

‘My sister got an alert from Citizen app, she told me it was a fire,’ said Fowler. 

‘When I looked on Citizen app it was behind my building, and that’s when I saw it. 

‘I heard people screaming ‘fire, fire’ – you know, my sister told me don’t go out

‘I was going to open the door, my sister told me not to. They told us to stay inside. 

‘We saw a lot of people run to the ambulance, rushing.’

She said she was unsure if anyone she knows was affected.

‘It looked as if it started from the back of the building. I told my kids to get up, get dressed, just in case. We had the window open, but the smoke was so heavy, we closed it

‘The fire department banged on the door, asked if we were okay, and said stay inside.

‘I have a 10 year-old, he’s asthmatic, He threw up a little bit. He was shaking.

‘We left after fire department said it was safe. Our apartment wasn’t damaged.’ 

Fowler’s daughter Aesha Jones, 28, who lives in Harlem, said she rushed to the scene on hearing about the fire.

‘I wasn’t here, I saw it on the news and I rushed over,’ she told DailyMail.com.

She said she was terrified for her family, but added: ‘Everyone got out safely, thank God.

‘My sister was actually waking up with flames at her window. Thank God she didn’t get contact with smoke inhalation.

‘I spoke to the mayor, he said the mayor’s office is going to order hotels for the families. Red Cross is out too.

‘A couple of my family’s friends passed away, sadly.’ 

Firefighters are seen on the scene of Sunday’s fire

Firefighters were hampered by icy conditions and the oxygen tanks running empty, the fire commissioner said – but he praised his team for pushing through

The 1972 building had 120 apartments, and did have working smoke alarms, officials said

Cristal Diaz, who lives in the fifth floor of the building, told the New York Post: ‘We didn’t know what to do. We looked out the windows and saw all the dead bodies they were taking with the blankets.’

Diaz’s niece, 13-year-old Alanny, reportedly saw ‘moms fainting at the sight of their kids dying.’ 

Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, paid tribute to the 200 firefighters who responded to the call.  

‘Their oxygen tanks were empty and they still pushed through the smoke,’ he said.

‘You can’t do this unless you’re attached to the city and the community.

‘And I want to thank them.’

Adams said the whole city was devastated by the loss of life.

‘Nineteen deaths. Nine children, babies, that we lost,’ he said.

‘We’re all feeling this.’

He said the city would provide counseling at the schools which were attended by victims and those caught up in the fire, and said the Red Cross and Office of Emergency Management were working to coordinate housing.

‘It’s so important we have faith leaders here,’ he added, noting that Sheikh Musa Drammeh, a Gambia-born Muslim preacher, was on the scene.

‘It was a large Muslim popular. Many came from Gambia,’ said Adams.

He said they will ‘respect the burial rites of the Muslim community, as well as others.’

A GoFundMe set up by Salim Drammeh, another Gambian community organizer, had raised $16,000 in the first two hours. 

Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, announced that she was setting up a victims’ compensation fund for those affected by the fire.

‘It’s hard to fathom what they are going through,’ she said.

‘We will not forget you, we will not abandon you – we are here for you.

‘Tonight is a night of tragedy and pain, but tomorrow we begin to rebuilt.’

She said it was particularly poignant for ‘those who came all the way from Africa, in search of a better life right here in this great borough.’ 

Adams stressed that anyone who seeks help should be reassured that they will not be handed over to immigration authorities as a result of coming forward. 

‘Your names will not be turned over to ICE or any other institution,’ Adams said, urging those in need to come forward for assistance.

‘It is imperative we get the word out.’

Chuck Schumer, a senator for New York, promised to mobilize Washington to help. 

‘We pledge to do whatever we can at the federal level,’ he said.

‘New Yorkers are united. When there is a tragedy, we stand together.

‘We come together, we embrace each other, and we stand with our brothers and sisters.’

 Harrowing stories were beginning to emerge on Sunday of escape through the burning building.

‘We tried to go down through the stairs but there was a lot of smoke, so we had to stop at the sixth floor and we were able to get into a neighbor’s home. We stayed there until the firefighters came and they were able to guide us out of the building,’ a woman told DailyMail.com. 

‘You couldn’t see anything. It was pitch-black,’ she said, adding that her three-year-old daughter had been momentarily missing amid the chaos.  

The fire at the Twin Parks North West complex quickly progressed. At the scene, firefighters could be seen pulling desperate victims out of windows. 

A hazardous material team was requested to retrieve a lithium ion battery. Fire Marshals are investigating. 

More than 200 firefighters across the borough responded to the scene. 

The FDNY said icy conditions made it difficult for firefighters to put out the blaze.

‘The impact of this fire is going to really bring a level of pain and despair in this city,’ Adams said during a press conference early on Sunday, shortly after the blaze was extinguished. 

‘The numbers are horrific. We have over 32 people who are life-threatening at this time. This is going to be one of the worst fires we have witnessed in the City of New York in modern times.’

The death toll of Sunday’s fire is set to become the worst in 30 years for New York City, second only to the Happy land club fire in 1990, in which 87 people died after an arsonist used $1 worth of gasoline to set the club on fire.

News photographers at the scene captured images of firefighters entering the upper floors of the burning building on a ladder, multiple limp children being given oxygen after being carried from the building and evacuees with their faces covered in soot.  

Sunday’s blaze came just days after a Philadelphia house fire killed 12 people, including eight children.

That was the deadliest fire at a U.S. residential apartment building since 2017, when 13 people died in an apartment in the Bronx, according to data from the National Fire Protection Association.

That fire started after a three-year-old boy was playing with stove burners.

The deadliest fire prior to that was in 1989 when a Tennessee apartment building fire claimed the lives of 16 people. 

The commissioner added that the apartment where the fire originated had its door opened, allowing for the blaze to spread throughout the building. 

‘This is a horrific, horrific, painful moment for the City of New York,’ Adams said.

‘We saw a bunch of bodies coming out. People from my childhood were dying,’ her niece, Alanny added. 

Twitter user Hennessy Castillo recounted on the platform her escape from the blaze.

‘I was there, I made It out safely, but I could barely breath, I have asthma and I am very happy that I made it out safely, but I don’t know what started the fire, all I know is that I heard a lot of people screaming for help, some windows were broken but some people were fainted,’ Castillo tweeted.  

NEW YORK CITY’S DEADLIEST FIRE DISASTERS  

At least 19 people died on Sunday when a five-alarm fire erupted in a 19-story building in the Bronx.

Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro and Mayor Eric Adams described the fire as ‘NYC’s worst in 30 decades. ‘The impact of this fire is going to really bring a level of pain and despair in this city,’ Adams said. 

We’re taking a look at some of the worst fire disasters in the recent history of the Big Apple. 

March 25, 1990/West Farms, The Bronx – Eighty-seven people died trapped in the Happy Land social club after an unemployed refugee, whose girlfriend worked at the club, set the base of the staircase – the only point of access to the club – on fire with $1 worth of gasoline.

December 28, 2017/ Belmont, The Bronx – A fire in the Belmont apartment of the Bronx killed 13 people and injured 14 others. At the time it became New York City’s deadliest fire in 25 years. It erupted when a 3-year-old played with the burners of the fire stove on the first floor of the building. As the mother desperately removed her children from the apartment, she accidentally left the door open, allowing the fire to spread.

‘This is a horrific, painful moment for New York’: Eric Adams visits scene of Bronx apartment fire that killed 19 people – including nine children – in first major crisis since becoming mayor

New York City Mayor Eric Adams visited the scene of a ‘horrific’ Bronx apartment blaze that killed at least 19 people Sunday as he endured his first major crisis during his first nine days as the city’s top politician. 

Appearing solemn as he spoke to reporters outside the charred building, Adams called the tragedy a ‘horrific, painful moment’ for the city.

‘This is going to be one of the worst fires that we have witnessed during modern times,’ he said.

During a press conference, Adams confirmed that the building appeared to be in violation of a law whereby fire doors should automatically close, as heat and smoke were able to pour through the tower’s other floors, killing many of those living above the blaze. 

He said an investigation will now be launched, and also told of how firefighters had bravely gone into the building despite having no oxygen left in their tanks. 

The historic blaze is the latest challenge Adams is tasked with navigating after being inaugurated January 1 as the city’s 110th mayor.

Appearing solemn as he spoke to reporters outside the scene of a Bronx apartment fire that killed at least 19 people, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called the tragedy a ‘horrific, painful moment’

‘This is going to be one of the worst fires that we have witnessed during modern times,’ he said

During the past week, he’s been chastised by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over a ‘low-skill workers’ reference, berated by others for hiring his brother as the NYPD’s deputy commissioner, and then forced to call 911 after witnessing an assault.

He has also been dragged into a quarrel about newly-elected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who last Monday instructed his office to downgrade burglary, carrying a weapon and drug dealing from felony charges.

Adams’ focus Sunday was on leading the city through the aftermath of the deadly blaze at the Twin Park apartments, a 19-story building on East 181st Street.

News photographers at the scene captured images of firefighters entering the upper floors of the burning building on a ladder, multiple limp children being given oxygen after being carried from the building and evacuees with their faces covered in soot.

FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro compared the severity of the fire to the Happy Land social club fire, which killed 87 people in 1990 when man set fire to the building after getting into an argument with his former girlfriend and being thrown out of the club.

The deadly fire – believed the worst to hit the city in more than 30 years – injured more than five dozen others, including 13 who were hospitalized in critical condition

Adams, who said he watched bodies being pulled from the charred building, said his team is now focused on providing support to those affected.

‘We’re going to do everything we can to bring services on the ground here to give people the assistance they need as we all recover from the trauma from what we are witnessing here in the buildings behind us,’ he said.

Adams’ hands-on approach to leadership was reflected during his first day on the job, when he called police about an assault in progress. 

Footage posted to social media on January 1 showed Adams calling 911 as he passed through the Kosciuszko J stop in Brooklyn on his way to City Hall – and witnessed three men fighting on the street below.

One of the men was seen punching another man on the ground. Later, one of the attackers lifted a victim up and continued to punch him.

‘Yes, I’m at Broadway and Kosciuszko and I have an assault in progress,’ Adams told officers on the phone as reporters followed the newly sworn-in mayor around town on his first day in office.

‘No – assault in progress, not past assault,’ the mayor said. 

‘They are fighting each other on the street right now, three males.’

The fight ended and two of the men left by the time two police patrol cars arrived. Officers spoke to the remaining man but stayed in their car, and Adams told reporters he would have investigated more had he been the officer at the scene.

As he made his way to City Hall for the first time on New Year’s Day, New York City’s new Mayor Eric Adams called 911 about three men brawling on the street

The men were seen in video tackling each other and punching one another in broad daylight

While some praised Adams for his leadership, others have found reasons to criticize him.

Last week, Ocasio-Cortez called Adams out over comments he made during a press conference meant to emphasize the need to get employees back into city offices amid the latest Covid surge.

‘My low-skilled workers, my cooks, my dishwashers, my messengers, my shoe-shine people, those who work at Dunkin’ Donuts – they don’t have the academic skills to sit in the corner office,’ Adams said during the conference, fighting for the city to stay open.

Adam’s anecdote quickly sparked a firestorm on Twitter, with many criticizing the mayor for referring to such workers as ‘low-skilled.’ 

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Adams out on his choice of words

The controversy even spurred the mayor to clarify his comments the following day on social media and a televised interview, explaining he used to work such jobs and relied on people spending their disposable income to survive.   

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: ‘The suggestion that any job is ‘low skill’ is a myth perpetuated by wealthy interests to justify inhumane working conditions, little/no healthcare, and low wages.’

‘Plus being a waitress has made me and many others *better* at our jobs than those who’ve never known that life,’ the self-professed democratic socialist added.

When confronted with the tweet Thursday morning, Adams appeared to laugh the attack off.

‘Right now, we are in a society where we have the ‘words police,” said Adams, 61, smiling as he spoke.

‘Everyone wants to take every term you use and try to make it seem that you want to be offensive.’

Adams (pictured riding a bike to media events) was blasted last week for referring to dishwashers and other service employees as ‘low-skilled’

‘The suggestion that any job is ‘low skill’ is a myth perpetuated by wealthy interests to justify inhumane working conditions, little/no healthcare, and low wages,’ Ocasio-Cortez, colloquially known as AOC, wrote in response to Adams’ remark

The mayor faced more criticisms Friday after appointing his younger brother to serve as a deputy NYPD commissioner.

Bernard Adams, who is 56, is a retired cop, just like the 61-year-old mayor, and was a sergeant with the NYPD.

Although the position is a civilian post, deputy police commissioners make about $240,000. It is not known what Adams’ salary will be. 

The appointment raised eyebrows over possible conflict of interest claims.

‘New Yorkers expect that public servants are hired based on their unique qualifications and not because they are the mayor’s brother,’ Common Cause New York’s Executive Director Susan Lerner said to the Daily News.

‘It is unclear whether a waiver from the Conflict of Interest Board would be required for this appointment. With or without a waiver, it is troubling.’

Adams was inaugurated as New York City’s 110th mayor on January 1

Critics pounced on Adams yet again after he endorsed Manhattan’s district attorney last week and called him a ‘great prosecutor.’

His praise of Bragg came after the prosecutor revealed his progressive new approach to crime, which includes a sweeping new policy to only seek prison sentences for a handful of offenses, and downgrade or dismiss charges for many felony crimes.

The Democrat said offenses like marijuana misdemeanors, prostitution, resisting arrest and fare dodging will no longer be prosecuted.

Bragg has faced backlash from newly appointed NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell and police union leaders, who said his policies would endanger the lives of officers and civilians. 

Sewell, the city’s first black female commissioner, sent an email to NYPD officers saying she was concerned about the effects Bragg’s sweeping changes.

‘I have studied these policies and I am very concerned about the implications to your safety as police officers, the safety of the public and justice for the victims,’ Sewell wrote in the email obtained by the New York Post. 

Her comments were out of step with Adams, despite him campaigning to make the city safer by getting tougher on crime. 

 Newly-appointed NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell (left) has expressed concerns about the policy changes of new Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (right) , which she said left officers, businesses and the general public vulnerable to crime

Curtis Sliwa, the Republican mayoral candidate who lost to Adams by a landslide, told Newsmax that Adams needed to come down harder on the new DA.

 ‘Beware of Eric Adams who says one thing and then immediately embraces the guy who is advertising: ‘come to the borough of Manhattan and commit crime,’ he said.

‘It’s open season.

‘That means smash and grabs, that means shoplifting, armed robbery, somebody can put a gun to your head as a tourist and guess what, he gets a desk appearance ticket.

‘Eric Adams can’t have it both ways.’

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto faced fresh questions on Wednesday about his dealings with a company at the center of a conflict-of-interest scandal, after it emerged that he enjoyed rent-free use of a house belonging to the firm as a campaign office.

Already under pressure over the government’s handling of the presumed massacre of 43 students abducted by corrupt police in southwestern Mexico in September, Pena Nieto is facing his most difficult period since taking office two years ago.

On Nov. 3, the government announced a Chinese-led consortium had won a no bid contract to build a $3.75 billion high-speed rail link in central Mexico.

Three days later, the government abruptly canceled the deal, just before a report by news site Aristegui Noticias showed that a subsidiary of Grupo Higa, a company that formed part of the consortium and had won various previous contracts, owned the luxury house of first lady Angelica Rivera.

Under public pressure, Rivera said she would give up the house. But neither she nor Pena Nieto have addressed the apparent conflict of interest stemming from the government’s business with Grupo Higa.

On Wednesday, Aristegui Noticias published a new story that said Pena Nieto used a different property belonging to another Grupo Higa subsidiary as an office when he was president-elect in 2012.

Eduardo Sanchez, the president’s spokesman, said Pena Nieto unwittingly used the property. Sanchez said it was leased from the Grupo Higa firm by Humberto Castillejos, the president’s legal adviser, who lent it rent-free to Pena Nieto’s team.

“If I invite you to my house, do you come to my house and ask me under whose name it is? Neither does the president,” Sanchez said, denying there were conflicts of interest.

The spokesman also said there were no more properties Pena Nieto or his team had used belonging to Grupo Higa.

“No, there is no other house that was used in a professional capacity,” Sanchez said.

Castillejos could not immediately be reached for comment.

Jorge Luis Lavalle, a senator with the opposition conservative National Action Party, said the public saw a clear conflict of interest in the dealings of Pena Nieto and his government with Grupo Higa.

“It needs to be investigated. All these doubts need to be dispelled fully and clearly,” he said. “We now have another case with no explanation.”

    En medio de violentas protestas, el presidente de Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, plantea un proceso de retiro “definitivo” de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), una situación sin precedentes.

    La OEA se pronunció el pasado 3 de abril sobre la situación venezolana con una resolución que hablaba de una “grave alteración inconstitucional del orden democrático” en ese país. Luis Almagro, secretario del organismo, ha sido una de las voces internacionales más críticas con la gestión de Maduro.

    Pero, ¿qué significa que Venezuela inicie el procedimiento para abandonar la OEA? La cadena británica de noticias BBC, detalla que el impacto sería principalmente simbólico.

    “El organismo nunca ha tenido el poder para imponer sanciones económicas, como el Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas, ni tiene el carácter de gobierno supranacional de la Unión Europea, por lo que las relaciones de Venezuela con el resto de países del hemisferio se seguirán definiendo a nivel bilateral”, detalla.

    Lea también: Venezuela iniciará trámites para salir de la OEA

    Mientras para la oposición venezolana, el hecho sería considerado una prueba de que el país no pertenece a un grupo de naciones democráticas.

    El gobierno insiste en que está dispuesto a discutir sobre la crisis en Venezuela en foros regionales, como la Unión de Naciones Sudamericanas (UNASUR) y la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y del Caribe (CELAC).

    El proceso

    Aunque Venezuela presente este jueves su carta de renuncia a la OEA, el proceso de salida tomaría dos años. El director del departamento de Derecho Internacional de la OEA explicó a la BBC que durante ese periodo, el país permanece vinculado.

    “El artículo 143 de la Carta de la OEA, el documento por el que se rige el ente desde 1948, establece que el país quedará desvinculado “después de haber cumplido con las obligaciones” contempladas en el texto. Una de ellas significa saldar cualquier deuda económica que tiene pendiente Venezuela como país miembro ($8 millones, según agencias de prensa)”, detalla.

    OEA podría suspender a Venezuela

    El organismo internacional podría decidir suspender a Venezuela. Para ello, se necesita de la reunión de una Asamblea General Extraordinaria en la que dos tercios de los 35 estados miembros voten a favor de la suspensión.

    “Así ocurrió con Cuba en 1962 y con Honduras durante un breve periodo tras un golpe de Estado en 2009, aunque ambos países hacen parte de la organización multilateral en la actualidad”, refiere la cadena británica.

    Sin embargo, el miércoles 26 de abril, durante el Consejo Permanente, 19 países acordaron la necesidad de una sesión especial de cancilleres para tratar la crisis en Venezuela, celebrada el miércoles 26 de abril. Ecuador votó en contra de esta convocatoria extraordinaria, junto a Bolivia, Haití, Nicaragua, entre otros. (I)

    Ante una revolución tecnológica que se acelera y una creciente demanda de noticias a través de Internet, Clarín pone en marcha una nueva y ambiciosa etapa de su proceso de transformación digital. El cambio incluye una profunda reorganización de su redacción por la cual las rutinas de trabajo se vuelven 100% online y la producción de contenidos se realiza las 24 horas para todos los soportes. Hoy, Clarín.com es líder de audiencia en el país.

    Los cambios y los nuevos desafíos fueron presentados ayer, en un auditorio colmado, ante todo el plantel periodístico de Clarín por el editor general, Ricardo Kirschbaum, y por el editor general adjunto, Ricardo Roa. Ellos expusieron las reformas generales y respondieron preguntas de editores y redactores.

    “Apostamos a una transformación radical de la manera en la que hacemos periodismo, para responder a las nuevas demandas de nuestro público y brindar información de calidad en todos los formatos y dispositivos. El medio digital nos obliga a un proceso de edición continuo y unificado donde las notas se producen ni bien suceden y luego se enriquecen para el diario impreso”, explicó Kirschbaum.

    Para transitar este camino, se reorganizan los horarios de trabajo de la redacción para que la producción periodística se realice de manera integral desde las primeras horas del día.

    “Vamos a producir las notas en una redacción de trabajo continuo las 24 horas del día. En Clarín ya no se trabajará para la Web o para el diario de papel: se creará contenido útil para todas las plataformas, entre ellas la edición impresa, que seguirá ofreciendo un valor agregado a sus lectores”, añadió Roa.

    Definió asimismo que la redacción estará orientada a satisfacer las demandas de los distintos sectores de la audiencia, desde la información política más rigurosa hasta los videos que se viralizan en las redes sociales. “El proyecto es distribuir los contenidos que requieren todos los públicos y ser líderes en todos los segmentos”, añadió.

    Actualmente, el tráfico de Clarín proviene de tres principales fuentes: los que ingresan al sitio con su navegador, los que buscan información en Google y así llegan a Clarín, y los que acceden a los contenidos por referencias que encuentran en las redes sociales. “Es equívoco plantear que hay que trabajar sólo para una de ellas. Podemos crecer en redes y buscadores sin perjudicar el acceso directo”, dijo Ricardo Roa.

    En la nueva estructura de la redacción, un equipo de periodistas con amplia experiencia quedará a cargo de manera exclusiva de la edición del impreso. Dependerá de la Mesa Central de Redacción, que también tendrá a su cargo la supervisión general de la Web.

    A su vez, se crearon nuevas funciones para responder a los requerimientos del producto digital. La Mesa Digital, por ejemplo, sumará una Mesa de Urgentes dedicada a publicar las noticias de último momento en la Web, hasta que el personal de la sección asuma el seguimiento del tema y encare su cobertura en profundidad.

    También se resolvió fortalecer especialmente a la Mesa de Audiencias, que cuenta con equipos destinados a la atención de las redes sociales, a la optimización de los contenidos para buscadores (SEO), al análisis de las métricas de tráfico y a la detección y creación de contenidos masivos que atraen importantes cantidades de visitas.

    La Mesa Visual, en tanto, será reforzada para enriquecer la cobertura con una sólida producción de fotografías y videos.

    “Tenemos futuro si logramos llegar en digital a todas las audiencias: la que valora nuestro periodismo y está dispuesta a pagarlo, y la masiva de redes que nos da un ancho de mercado para monetizar mejor la publicidad”, aseguró Kirschbaum.

    Foto: Fernando de la Orden

    “Los resultados demuestran que los lectores están dispuestos a pagar por un buen periodismo, lo que nos reclama ofrecer información de altísima calidad en todos los soportes” (Ricardo Kirschbaum)

    Con esta reorganización, Clarín avanza decisivamente en un camino de transformación que vienen recorriendo los grandes medios de comunicación del mundo. Como parte de esa mutación, y para asegurar que el periodismo de calidad sea sostenible en el nuevo contexto, Clarín fue el primer diario argentino en implementar este año un sistema de suscripción digital que ya consiguió 35.000 adhesiones, superando las expectativas.

    “Buscamos un nuevo modelo económico -señaló Kirschbaum-. Los resultados demuestran que los lectores están dispuestos a pagar por un buen periodismo, lo que nos reclama ofrecer información de altísima calidad en todos los soportes. En la nueva etapa, a eso apuntamos como máximo objetivo.”

    Ten people died in a small plane crash Sunday morning at Addison Airport, authorities say.

    The twin-engine Beechcraft BE-350 King Air, had just taken off when it crashed into a hangar 9 a.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said. The fire destroyed the aircraft.

    Everyone on board the plane was killed, according to city of Addison spokeswoman Mary Rosenbleeth. 

    Authorities have not released information about the identities of the people who died. Officials were in the process of reaching out to the family members of the victims, she said. 

    The hangar was not occupied at the time of the crash. The plane can hold about a dozen people, Lunsford said.

    Members of the group allegedly broke into North Korea’s Spanish embassy and stole several computers and hard drives

    American authorities have arrested a former US Marine who is allegedly part of a group that raided North Korea’s embassy in Madrid, reports say.

    Christopher Ahn will reportedly appear in a Los Angeles court.

    It would be the first arrest over the incident, which happened in February days before US President Donald Trump met North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Vietnam.

    Free Joseon, a self-styled human rights group, says it was involved.

    US federal agents have also raided the apartment of Adrian Hong, one of the group’s leaders, says the Washington Post.

    The US Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the BBC.

    In a statement, Free Joseon said it was “dismayed” by arrest warrants being executed.

    “The last US citizen who fell into the custody of the Kim regime returned home maimed from torture and did not survive,” said spokesperson Lee Wolosky.

    “We have received no assurances from the US government about the safety and security of the US nationals it is now targeting.”

    On 22 February, a group of at least 10 people stormed North Korea’s embassy in Spain, allegedly identifying themselves as “members of a human rights movement seeking to liberate North Korea”.

    During the incident several embassy staff were held hostage, including an attaché whom they tried persuading to defect.

    Members of the group allegedly made off with several computers and hard drives, data from which was allegedly passed on to American authorities.

    North Korea has described the incident has a “grave terrorist attack”.

    Free Joseon – formerly known as Cheolima Civil Defense – insists that its members were invited to the consulate.

    A Spanish court document released last month has named leaders of organisation, some of whom are believed to live in the US. The court is seeking their extradition.

    Kim Jong-un está junto lo que ha denominado una “ojiva nuclear miniatura”, de acuerdo a la agencia de noticias estatal KCNA.

    El líder norcoreano, Kim Jong-un, dijo este miércoles que científicos del país lograron desarrollar ojivas nucleares lo suficientemente pequeñas como para ser instaladas en misiles balísticos de largo alcance.

    Medios estatales del país asiático mostraron al líder de Corea del Norte junto a lo que señaló era una arma nuclear miniaturizada.

    Los analistas coinciden en afirmar que es imposible verificar la afirmación de Kim Jong-un a través de un video.

    Pero aunque algunos dudan seriamente de la existencia de tal armamento, otros dicen que no se puede descartar su veracidad.

    El Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU ha sancionado varias veces al país asiático.

    “Hay mucha controversia sobre si los misiles de Corea del Norte pueden llegar a territorio estadounidense, pero lo cierto es que cada vez más se puede creer que el país tiene la capacidad de crear ojivas nucleares miniaturizadas”, le dijo el analista surcoreano de asuntos militares Kim Jin-moo al Financial Times.

    En los últimos meses, el país asiático ha elevado su retórica bélica en respuesta al aumento de las sanciones por parte de Naciones Unidas.

    El Consejo de Seguridad tomó varias medidas contra Corea del Norte después del ensayo nuclear de enero pasado y el lanzamiento de un satélite, hechos que ya violaban las sanciones previas.

    En días recientes, Pyongyang amenazó con lanzar un ataque nuclear indiscriminado contra Estados Unidos y Corea del Sur si continuaban con sus ejercicios militares anuales.

    Cada año se realizan ejercicios de entrenamiento entre los ejércitos de Corea de Sur y Estados Unidos (conocidos como Foal Eagle y Key Resolve), lo que siempre genera las protestas del gobierno de Corea de Norte.

    Cuestionada

    La declaración del líder norcoreano fue realizada en medio de una inspección a una instalación militar.

    Las ojivas nucleares han sido estandarizadas para que puedan ser instaladas en misiles balísticos, miniaturizándolas“, informó la agencia de noticias estatal KCNA basados en lo dicho por Kim Jong-un

    Kim Jong-un es ovacionado por soldados durante una reciente visita a una instalación militar.

    “Esto puede ser considerado como un verdadero disuasorio nuclear”, añadió.

    La visita también incluyó la revisión de las cabezas nucleares diseñadas para reacción termonuclear, que son utilizadas en las bombas de hidrógeno.

    Si lo que dice Kim Jong-un es cierto y Corea del Norte puede instalar ojivas nucleares en sus misiles balísticos, representaría una seria amenaza para los países vecinos e incluso para Estados Unidos.

    En octubre de 2014, el comandante de las fuerzas de Estados Unidos en Corea del Sur, general Curtis Scaparrotti, le dijo a los medios que él creía que Corea del Norte tenía la capacidad de miniaturizar un dispositivo nuclear.

    Y en mayo de 2015, el Comité Nacional de Corea del Norte señaló que el país había logrado la tecnología para miniaturizar armas nucleares.

    Pero ese logro ha sido seriamente cuestionado.

    Expertos dudan incluso que el ensayo realizado en enero de este año haya sido con una bomba de hidrógeno como afirmaba el gobierno de Corea del Norte.

    Misiles balísticos

    ¿Pero qué significa el anuncio realizado por Corea del Norte?

    El ejército de Corea del Norte es considerado el mayor en número de hombres en el mundo.

    El pasado mes de enero, el país asiático, considerado el más hermético del planeta, realizó una prueba con un cohete similar a los que utilizan las agencias espaciales para enviar sus satélites a órbita, lo que generó reacciones alrededor del mundo.

    Hasta ese momento se desconocía si el ejército de Pyongyang tenía armas suficientemente potentes para poder alcanzar el suelo estadounidense.

    Y aunque el cohete lanzado el 8 de enero no tenía el alcance de un misil balístico intercontinental (ICBM) –que puede viajar más de 10.000 kilómetros antes de caer–, la noticia de la miniaturización de una ojiva nuclear genera bastante preocupación.

    Corea del Norte está separado de las islas de Hawái (territorio estadounidense) por 7.500 kilómetros y por 10.342 kilómetros del centro de EE.UU.

    “Corea del Norte nunca ha demostrado la capacidad para construir un vehículo de reingreso que pueda sobrevivir al menos a la mitad de la velocidad que se requiere para un ICBM”, le dijo a la agencia AFP John Schilling, ingeniero aeroespacial y experto en sistemas de lanzamiento espacial de The Aerospace Corporation.

    Solo Rusia, China y Estados Unidos poseen misiles balísticos intercontinentales. Francia e India se encuentran en fase de desarrollo.

    Cuando lleguen a hacerlo, y si es que llegan, lo que hoy en día es una amenaza teórica se convertirá en algo muy real y muy alarmante“, agregó.

    Hasta ahora los únicos países que poseen este tipo de misiles balísticos son Rusia, Estados Unidos y China, pero de acuerdo a los reportes de la Federación Estadounidense de Científicos, cualquier país con tecnología en el espacio podría desarrollar este tipo de misiles.

    Corea del Norte informó en 2012 que había logrado poner un satélite en órbita violando las restricciones que le había impuesto el Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas.

    In response to President Joe Biden’s Tuesday speech on voting rights protection in Philadelphia, Fox News host Laura Ingraham ripped the president on “The Ingraham Angle,” claiming that “as usual, liberals are at war with the facts” and that Biden was “just reading whatever script his writers handed to him.”

    During his speech, Biden called “the assault on free and fair election” a “threat” and claimed Americans are facing the “most significant test of democracy since the Civil War.” Biden went on to specifically call out the Texas state legislature for their push for new voter reform.

    “In Texas, for example, Republican-led state legislature wants to allow partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters and imperil impartial poll workers,” he said. They want to make it so hard and convenient that they hope people don’t vote at all.”

    Ingraham countered Biden’s statements by posing the question of whether or not allowing “an extra hour of required early voting in Texas” is an assault on democracy. She also noted that the increase would put Texas’ voting window “two to three hours longer than Joe’s home state of Delaware.”

    Ingraham went on to point out the hypocrisy in the president’s statements on “partisan poll watchers,” arguing that some of his claims about the Texas legislation are “lies.”

    “I believe I counted four, maybe five lies there. But for the record, the Texas legislation gives poll watchers free movement, except, of course, contrary to what Biden alleged, not when voters are filling out ballots,” Ingraham exclaimed. “And forcing poll watchers to stand at such a distance that they couldn’t reasonably observe the process would be a criminal offense. You got to have eyes on potential cheating.”

    Ingraham also torched Biden’s claims that the Texas bill aims “to make it harder” for Americans to vote, “and if you vote, they want to be able to tell you your vote doesn’t count for any reason.”

    “So dramatic, also totally false,” she said. “As we pointed out last week, the Texas bill to expand voting hours for all registered voters. And the bill is even lower the population threshold needed for counties to provide additional early voting hours.”

    “Democrats want to rig every election going forward to make it nearly impossible for a conservative to win again,” Ingraham opined. “They’re now effectively arguing that the very voting rules that delivered two two-term victories for Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are essentially just like Jim Crow 2.0.”

    “So this leaves them really with only one option in their mind, which is to promote racial fear-mongering in pretty much everything around them. We already know what they’re doing in our schools, to our workplaces, the military, even to now our system of voting.”
