“MURIENDO POR CRUZAR,” AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCREASING NUMBER OF IMMIGRANT DEATHS ALONG THE BORDER, THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 AT 6 P.M./5 C

Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval present the Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production

Miami – July 31, 2014 – Telemundo presents “Muriendo por Cruzar”, a documentary that investigates why increasing numbers of immigrants are dying while trying to cross the US-Mexican border near the city of Falfurrias, Texas, this Sunday, August 3 at 6PM/5 C.  The Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production, presented by Noticias Telemundo journalists Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, reveals the obstacles immigrants face once they cross into US territory, including extreme weather conditions, as they try to evade the border patrol.  “Muriendo por Cruzar” is part of Noticias Telemundo’s special coverage of the crisis on the border and immigration reform.

 

“‘Muriendo por Cruzar’” dares to ask questions that reveal the actual conditions undocumented immigrants face as they try to start a new life in the United States,” said Alina Falcón, Telemundo’s Executive Vice President for News and Alternative Programming.  “Our collaboration with The Weather Channel was very productive. They have a unique expertise in covering the impact of weather on people’s lives, as we do in covering immigration reform and the border crisis. The result is a compelling documentary that exposes a harrowing reality.”

“Muriendo por Cruzar” is the first co-production by Telemundo and The Weather Channel.  Both networks are part of NBCUniversal.

Por la mañana, el jefe de Gabinete, Jorge Capitanich, había advertido que “la decisión de adherir a o no a la medida de fuerza tiene que ver con la autonomía sindical”. El titular de la CGT Azopardo, Hugo Moyano, por su parte, volvió a pronosticar que “más allá de los dirigentes” habrá una alta adhesión al paro nacional, y anticipó que sería “lamentable” que la UTA no se plegara a la medida: “Cambiar la dignidad del trabajador por algo que le pueda regalar el Gobierno sería lamentable”, advirtió Moyano en diálogo con Rock & Pop.

El dirigente sindical también tomó distancia de los piquetes anunciados por la CTA que conduce Pablo Micheli: “Nosotros no podemos evitar que esto ocurra, cada uno sabe lo que tiene que hacer”, manifestó.

Pablo Moyano, secretario adjunto del gremio de Camioneros, a su turno, adelantó que “va a ser un paro contundente en todo el país” y aseguró que “la CGT que conduce Moyano no va a hacer cortes de rutas, ni piquetes ni cortes de puentes”.

De acuerdo a indagaciones de la Fiscala y la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera, se trata de un depsito de ms de US$80 mil hecho por una empresa venezolana.







La primera dama de la Nación y fundadora del Partido Nacionalista, Nadine Heredia, se encuentra en medio de una investigación por el presunto delito de lavado de activos, que luego de cuatro años de haber sido archivada ha sido reabierta.

Esta vez la Primera Fiscalía Supranacional contra el Lavado de Activos en coordinación con la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF) investigan la ruta de un dinero que fue girado por una empresa de capitales venezolanos y que se relacionan a los presuntos aportes que llegaron del país llanero a la campaña presidencial de 2006.

Según recogen diarios locales, se trata de una cifra que fluctúa entre los 80 mil a los casi 90 mil dólares transferidos el año 2005 vía las cuentas de la madre de la esposa del jefe de Estado, Antonia Alarcón viuda de Heredia, y de su amiga Rocío Calderón Vinatea, actualmente funcionaria de la Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros (PCM), pero que finalmente acabó en la cuenta de Heredia Alarcón.

La investigación da cuenta de que el dinero provino del Interaudi Bank, en  Nueva York, por orden de la firma inversiones Kaysamak, con sede en Caracas, cuyos dueños tenían una encuestadora que daba servicios al fallecido presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez.

Un informe de la UIF señala incongruencias en los ingresos de Nadine Heredia declarados entre 2005 y 2009. Precisamente esa información le sirvió al fiscal César Rojas León, titular de la Primera Fiscalía Supranacional contra el Lavado de Activos, para sustentar la reapertura de la investigación, aunque todavía falta que el 43° Juzgado Penal de Lima resuelva un habeas corpus presentado por Heredia para que nuevamente se archiven las investigaciones.

CAJA FUERTE

También se indaga sobre la contratación de una caja de seguridad en el Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP) hecho el 14 de noviembre del 2006 por Rocío Calderón Vinatea y su madre Susana Lourdes Vinatea Milla viuda de Calderón.

La UIF detectó que tres días de que la Fiscalía decomisara dos cajas de seguridad de la red de Rodolfo Orellana, ambas visitaron su caja y al día siguiente, el 3 de febrero de este año, realizaron dos depósitos en efectivo por 24.700 y 8.300 soles.

Se sospecha que ese dinero haya sido retirado y depositado en dos partes para no declarar y explicar su procedencia a los funcionarios del banco, de acuerdo a información que divulga el diario La República.

Además, estarían en investigación compras inmobiliarias y gastos realizados por Calderón Vinatea y que no guardan relación con sus ingresos.

Se trata de un inmueble en La Molina valorizado en 360 mil dólares, según la minuta de compra-venta, aunque -señala el rotativo- el precio de una casa en esa zona suele superar el millón de dólares. Se suma ello a que la amiga de Nadine Heredia ha comprado otros dos departamentos.

There was something different about the Democratic debate this week, compared to the earlier rounds this summer. Something was happening that was hard to pin down, but palpable. Not the contrast of night and day, but perhaps the difference between dusk and dawn.

It’s a critical difference and it comes at a crucial time. Because the Trump presidency these candidates are competing to truncate has reached what may be a critical juncture. But more of that in a moment.

This week, the Democratic nomination fight once again took the form of a TV quiz show with too many contestants to fit onscreen at once. Once again, the candidates sounded a lot alike, peddling much the same wares as in June and July. And yes, three hours was too long.

Yet something different happened. The debate left a clearer imprint. The effect was at least somewhat more energizing than the summer meetings, or perhaps just a bit less dispiriting.

There were still 10 candidates on stage but at least they were the candidates most people wanted to see and — best of all — there was not the prospect of 10 more contestants doing it all over on the following night.

That made a difference. The earlier affairs had the feel of the NFL exhibition season, this week felt more like playing for keeps.

On the substantive side, the candidate’s answers and thoughts seemed more fully formed and more clearly expressed. Some of this is just practice. Some of these candidates are new to the big leagues; and veterans such as former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders are getting used to new roles.

Some of the upgrade also seemed attributable to the ABC moderators, all four of whom were crisp. They had challenging questions and they probed in their follow-ups, but they did not intrude on the dynamic among the candidates. Like good referees, they pretty much let the players play — to the benefit of all.

Benefiting most were the candidates who got the most airtime — Biden, Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Much was made of it being the first time viewers had a chance to see Biden and Warren face off — with Sanders, the other candidate consistently in double digits, right there as well. It gave Democratic consumers their best chance for a taste test to date.

Among the three, Warren seemed to make the most of it. She had the freshest energy on stage, and she is getting better at pressing a point. Her share of the airtime this week was nearly 17 minutes — second to Biden, but only by a few seconds. And she was showing passion on a range of outrages rather than intellectual irritation at the way things are.

She also responded to questions and to the answers of her rivals with apparent spontaneity — even when she is recycling what may be a practiced response.

Most observers gave Biden, the putative front-runner, middling marks. For some, he was just OK, a left-handed compliment at best. For others, he was good enough, which isn’t much better. All seemed to agree he wasn’t bad.

It’s hard to know how Biden, soon to be 77, would look to the Democratic electorate based solely on this debate performance, given how long he’s been around. Even more of a factor is the defensiveness many Democrats feel about the guy they still think has the best chance of beating President Trump. But more of that in a moment.

Sanders, who is already 77, came across as every bit his age and just as irascible as he was at just 73 and challenging Hillary Clinton for the last presidential nomination. He once again made a strong case for the national health care system he calls “Medicare for All” — a concept that now gets at least lip service from many of his rivals, as well as pushback from a few.

Even though Sanders’ goal is to make the famous health program available to everybody, it is for now still primarily associated with old folks. It’s likely to be the Democratic Party vehicle for getting to national health care, sooner or later, so it could use –– and likely will have — more age-appropriate champions.

Still, it was Biden’s age that was called into question in this debate, when he had talked about who would qualify under his amendments to Obamacare. Julián Castro, at one end of the stage, objected to what sounded like Biden contradicting himself. When Biden interrupted with a denial, Castro fired back, “Are you forgetting already what you said just 2 minutes ago?”

Without that word “already,” that question might have stood on its own. Instead, it seemed a shot at Biden’s age and past lapses of memory. The audience reacted with a mix of groans and applause. They took it as a shot, and it played as such endlessly on broadcast highlights and in panel post mortems.

Castro may have been the victim of his own need to distinguish himself from the pack, a problem shared by all but the three candidates at center stage. He was anchoring the end of the line-up because his polls and fundraising are barely meeting the criteria for inclusion.

Also in endangered status was the candidate at the other far side of the stage, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who continues to emphasize her “middle of the country” roots and middle of the road positions. Her focus on the middle surely includes the early-caucus state of Iowa, her neighbor to the south, where she needs a break out showing.

Just inside from the two ends onstage were two candidates who were expected to make more noise than either has to date: one was Cory Booker, the senator from New Jersey, a tall and commanding figure who got the night’s best laugh and said many eloquent things on gun violence and the status of his fellow black Americans. The Booker campaign professes to be unworried, but it is hard to fathom why Booker has not broken through in the early states or the national polls.

The same might be said of Beto O’Rourke, the former congressman from El Paso whose campaign has drawn new impetus from last month’s massacre in that city. O’Rourke was saluted by his rivals for his strong stance, and he had a viral moment saying: “Hell yes we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” referring to the military-style weapons used in many recent mass shootings. That promise, however, does not reflect the position of most of the other candidates, or of the Democratic caucus in the House or the Senate.

Moving in toward the centerpiece trio one found Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind.,, who used every chance he got to insert thoughtful answers with a fine-chiseled edge. He used his closing remarks to say how much it had meant to his life to come out as gay and marry his husband. The fact that his age, 37, may be more of a weight for his candidacy than his sexuality is one measure of how life in America has changed.

In mirroring status across the stage stood Andrew Yang, a young entrepreneur making a splash with younger voters and casting a wider net with ideas for guaranteed federal income payments (in lieu of other programs) and 100 Democracy Dollars to supplant lobbyists’ actual dollars.

Which leaves us with Kamala Harris the one candidate who stood aside from the threesome at center-stage but was not part of the trio on either wing. The California senator tried a good-natured jab at Biden regarding his oft-repeated ties to President Obama. It worked in its way, especially with the crowd at Texas Southern University, a historically black school. But it didn’t have nearly the bite of her June debate challenge to Biden for his opposition to busing for school integration in the 1970s.

One thing Harris succeeded in doing was returning the debate, again and again, to the subject of Donald Trump. One after another, the candidates would acknowledge that beating Trump was everyone’s ultimate goal, an existential necessity for the party and the over-arching unifying element in this contest.

Yet, curiously, not one candidate mentioned the impeachment debate currently raging within the House of Representatives, where most Democrats now want a formal impeachment proceeding but Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not – at least yet.

Neither did anyone in the debate mention the recession jitters that polls show many Americans feeling, if only because the length of the current expansion and indications it may be ending.

That’s important, because recessions beat incumbent presidents more often than the opposing party’s nominee does. No incumbent lost between the Depression election of 1932 and 1976, when Democrat Jimmy Carter talked of an “economic misery index” in ousting Republican Gerald Ford. That same index was even worse when Ronald Reagan ousted Carter four years later.

George H. W. Bush also lost as an incumbent in 1992, the victim of a brief recession and an independent candidate (Ross Perot) who got 19% of the popular vote. Since then, three incumbent presidents have been re-elected and none has lost, despite the efforts of well-known, well-financed and party-backed challengers (Robert Dole, John Kerry and Mitt Romney).

That is largely why polls taken this week by CNN and by NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist found a plurality of Americans expect Trump to win a second term, even though far fewer think he deserves it. Trump’s approval number is now among the lowest ever for presidents after 20 months in office. But some have come back from comparable low points, including Obama and Reagan (who came back to win 49 states).

It’s going to take more than good debate performances, and more than winning the nomination, for one of these Democratic contenders to defeat this incumbent. Only bad economics, or the actions of the incumbent himself, are likely to accomplish that.

But to make themselves attractive as a reasonable option, the Democrats need to present coherent, clear alternatives in policy and persona. This week’s debate was at least a longer step in that direction.

Hurricane Dorian is no small threat.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency, urging residents to stockpile enough supplies for a week. The Bahamas Prime Minister has warned residents they may pay with their life if they choose not to evacuate.

And President Donald Trump said the storm Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds looks like it “can be an absolute monster.”

Here’s what to expect in the coming days:

Saturday:

Dorian is barreling toward the US at 140 mph with even higher wind gusts, moving over the Atlantic well north of the Bahamas. As it spins northwestward it is expected to get stronger, possibly up to 150 mph. Category 5 winds are from 157 mph and higher.

A hurricane warning was issued for the northwestern Bahamas excluding Andros Island, where a hurricane watch remained in effect.

“A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous,” the National Hurricane Center says.

Sunday:

The storm will be near or over the northwestern part of the Bahamas.

The islands will feel the effects of the hurricane Sunday evening, with wind speeds of up to 145 mph — equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.

The hurricane could weaken slightly at its interaction with the Bahamas, CNN Meteorologist Robert Shackelford said.

“Although fluctuations in intensity are possible early next week, Dorian is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during the next few days,” the hurricane center said.

The pilot who died when his helicopter crash-landed on top of a New York City building was not licensed to fly in foul weather, the Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday.

Timothy McCormack did not have the required certificate that would have allowed him to legally fly when the visibility was less than 3 miles and where he could use the instruments on his chopper to guide him through the gloom and rain that enveloped Manhattan on Monday, an FAA spokeswoman said.

Tim McCormackEast Clinton Volunteer Fire Dept

The revelation came as National Transportation Safety Board investigators were trying to pinpoint what caused the deadly helicopter crash in Midtown Manhattan.

“Should the helicopter have been flying, I don’t know yet,” NTSB Air Safety Investigator Doug Brazy said at a press conference.

Brazy said they have questioned the passenger McCormack flew from Westchester County to Manhattan a few hours before the crash who told them it was an uneventful flight. He said McCormack was not in touch with air traffic controllers and that they are still trying to confirm reports the pilot made a radio call before the chopper went down on the rooftop of the building, which did not have a heliport.

McCormack was a veteran pilot but he was not “instrument rated,” said the spokeswoman, who declined to comment further and directed inquiries to the NTSB, which is expected to provide an update later Tuesday.

Al Yurman, a former air safety investigator with the board, said in an interview that federal regulators require all pilots to be instrument-rated when flying during the kind of bad weather that descended on New York City on Monday.

They must file a flight plan with air traffic controllers, he said, and they must know how to use a slate of instruments that can tell them what direction the aircraft is flying, for instance, or whether its wings and nose are level.

Without those instruments, flying in heavy clouds can cause “spatial disorientation,” Yurman said.

“It’s like putting a blindfold on,” he said. “Turn yourself around three times and see if you know where you are.”

The cloud ceiling at the time of the crash was 600 feet — or roughly the height of a 55 or 60-story building. The roof of the building on 7th Avenue that McCormack barreled into was 54 stories, fire officials said.

A lawyer for the company the helicopter is registered to, American Continental Properties, did not respond to requests for comment.

Paul Dudley, manager of the airport where McCormack was apparently returning to, in Linden, New Jersey, did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday about the certification question.

But on Monday, Dudley described McCormack as an experienced and competent pilot⁠ — someone who was likely “overwhelmed” by the weather or a mechanical issue.

A review of FAA records shows that McCormack was a certified instructor and commercial pilot. The records also indicate that in October 2014, the helicopter he was piloting on a sightseeing tour was struck by a bird, causing minor scratches to a passenger.

McCormack landed the chopper “uneventfully” at a Manhattan heliport, according to the FAA record.

His brother, Michael McCormack, said that he likely “saved many lives” by putting his chopper “on the roof of a building.”

“It is a true act of heroism,” he said.

New York GOP chairman Ed Cox and incoming chairman Nick Langworthy offered their condolences to the McCormack family.

“We were deeply saddened to learn the pilot who was killed in yesterday’s horrific helicopter crash,Tim McCormack, was the brother to our beloved Dutchess County Republican Chairman Mike McCormack. Tim’s life was cut way too short, but it’s clear he lived his last moments just as he did every day, committed to protecting others,” they said in a statement.

But the FAA said air traffic controllers “did not handle” McCormack’s flight — another sign that he may not have been following instrument flight rules, Yurman said.

“You have to be in radio contact with air traffic controllers,” he said.

City officials added that the section of Manhattan where McCormack crashed was under a “temporary flight restriction.”

“To go into that area a helicopter would need the approval of La Guardia tower,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters Monday. “And we need to find out whether that happened or not. We do not know at this point.”

The crash led Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., to renew a call for banning nonessential helicopters from flying over Manhattan.

In a statement, Maloney recalled other accidents in the city — including a tour flight that crashed into the East River last March, killing five passengers — and said the city could no longer “rely on good fortune to protect people on the ground.”

Barbara Kaiser, an aviation expert with the training and safety firm Rotor World, said that a ban on nonemergency air traffic was a good way to keep pilots without proper training from causing “collateral damage.”

“It could have been a thousand times worse,” she said.

A Los Angeles City Council member and the former dean of the University of Southern California’s School of Social Work were indicted Wednesday in connection with a scheme in which the pol allegedly promised to steer lucrative contracts to the school if it gave his son a scholarship and a professorship.

Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, 66, and Marilyn Louise Flynn, 83, were expected to be arraigned in the coming days on charges of conspiracy, bribery, honest services mail fraud and honest services wire fraud. They face decades in prison if convicted of all charges.

LA City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas was indicted for allegedly promising lucrative contracts to a former USC dean in exchange for giving his son a scholarship and professorship.

“This indictment charges a seasoned lawmaker who allegedly abused the public’s trust by taking official actions to benefit his family member and himself,” Acting US Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison said in a statement. “The corrupt activities alleged in the indictment were facilitated by a major university’s high-ranking administrator whose desire for funding apparently trumped notions of integrity and fair play.”

Prosecutors say that in May 2017, when Ridley-Thomas was a member of Los Angeles County’s Board of Supervisors, he informed Flynn that one of his relatives was interested in going to graduate school at USC. The relative is not identified in the indictment, but details correspond to known information about Ridley-Thomas’ son, Sebastian.

The former dean of USC’s School of Social Work was looking for lucrative contracts to help alleviate its multimillion-dollar budget deficit.

Sebastian Ridley-Thomas, now 34, was a member of the California state Assembly between 2013 and 2017, but resigned amid an internal investigation into allegations of sexual harassment. That probe concluded in 2019 that he had likely made an unwanted sexual advance toward a Capitol staffer.

A statement from Wilkison’s office suggested that Mark Ridley-Thomas “allegedly wanted to help secure paid employment for his relative to minimize any public fallout for them both in the wake of the sudden resignation from office.”

The indictment states that a week after Ridley-Thomas gave Flynn the heads-up about his son, she emailed a colleague that she “intend[ed] to open every door for” the disgraced ex-lawmaker.

In June 2017, Flynn allegedly told Mark Ridley-Thomas that in exchange for her efforts to help his son receive a joint master’s degree from USC’s School of Social Work and School of Public Policy, she wanted the supervisor to help the university land contracts with Los Angeles County’s Department of Children and Family Services and Probation Department — as well as an alteration to an existing telehealth contract in order to bolster the School of Social Work’s budget, which authorities say was facing “a multimillion-dollar” deficit.

The indictment goes on to allege that as Mark Ridley-Thomas shepherded the contracts through the Board of Supervisors, Flynn arranged for Sebastian Ridley-Thomas to study for a joint master’s degree “without adhering to the standard sequence of coursework.” To do this, the document says, the dean allegedly oversaw the creation of an “entire online curriculum, which had never existed previously for this program.”

That fall, prosecutors say, Mark and Sebastian Ridley-Thomas lobbied for the younger man to receive a paid professorship. After Flynn learned that Mark Ridley-Thomas had convinced another public official to support changing the telehealth contract, she allegedly directed that his son receive a $26,000 scholarship for the spring and summer terms in 2018 as well as a paid teaching position with a $50,000 salary — even though being both a student and a teacher would violate USC policy.

Then in April 2018, according to the US Attorney’s Office, Flynn “agreed to funnel $100,000” in Mark Ridley-Thomas campaign funds through the university to an unidentified nonprofit “to be operated by” Sebastian Ridley-Thomas.

In a statement Wednesday night, USC said it learned about the $100,000 payment in the summer of 2018, reported it to federal prosecutors at the time, and has “fully cooperated” with the investigation since.

USC has dealt with a series of high-profile scandals over the past few years, including the conviction of parents caught paying bribes for admissions.

“Marilyn Flynn has not been employed by the university since September 2018,” the statement said. “We will continue to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and must limit comments because this is a pending criminal matter.”

Ridley-Thomas, a Los Angeles native, is one of the most powerful and best-known politicians in Southern California. He earned a PhD in social ethics and policy analysis from USC in 1989. He’s serving his fourth nonconsecutive term on the City Council, where he chairs the Homelessness and Poverty Committee. He also served two terms on the county Board of Supervisors and a term each in the state Assembly and the state Senate.

Wednesday’s indictment is another blow to USC, which has been forced to deal with a series of high-profile scandals in recent years. The university was caught up in the “Operation Varsity Blues” investigation, which led to the arrests of three coaches and a senior athletic administrator and forced it to revamp its admissions process for student-athletes.

Earlier this year, USC agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who accused the college’s longtime campus gynecologist of sexual abuse. When combined with an earlier settlement of a separate class-action suit, USC has agreed to pay out more than $1 billion for claims against Dr. George Tyndall, who worked at the school for nearly three decades.

President Trump took a moment during his visit to Japan to slam Democrats and pass along remarks from Japanese officials.

 “Great fun and meeting with Prime Minister @AbeShinzo,” Trump tweeted Saturday. “Numerous Japanese officials told me that the Democrats would rather see the United States fail than see me or the Republican Party succeed – Death Wish!”

The remark follows increasing tensions between the president and Democrats over the investigations launched against him.

“I think the Democrats are obstructionists,” Trump said in his remarks to reporters on Friday. “They’re hurting our country very, very badly.”




“They’re very unhappy with the Mueller report,” Trump continued. “No collusion, no obstruction. No nothing. They’re very unhappy. They’re angry about it. They have to get over their anger.”

“They want to do a redo,” Trump added. “Like even the fact that they’re asking Bob Mueller to come and testify. He just gave them a 434-page report, which says no collusion, which leads to absolutely no obstruction. He just gave that report. Why does he have to testify? It’s ridiculous.”

La AFIP detectó irregularidades entre los valores FOB totales de las Declaraciones Juradas Anticipadas (DJAI) y destinaciones de importación asociadas a la DJAI, al tiempo que comprobó que la compañía multinacional reutilizó DJAI para las mismas operaciones.

El proceso de análisis se focalizó sobre un total de 2608 operaciones de importación de maquinas de afeitar, pañales y artículos higiénicos, principalmente, precisó el organismo a través de un comunicado en el que su titular, Ricardo Echegaray, sentenció: “Hay que terminar con estas trampas de las empresas globales”.

“Los productos importados que se ‘sobrefacturaron’ corresponderían a la excusa de incluir en el precio ‘royalties’ y demás ‘gastos intercompanies’ de publicidad y administración”, detalló la AFIP.

Por estas maniobras, la AFIP suspendió preventivamente la CUIT de P&G y su inscripción en el registro de importadores y exportadores como así también la posibilidad de que la empresa opere en el mercado de cambio de divisas.

Echegaray agregó que “las compañías globales no pueden gestionar sus ganancias engañando al Estado, evadiendo impuestos y fugando divisas ya que esta conducta irregular impide el desarrollo de la Nación, privando a sus ciudadanos de recursos para los servicios públicos, salud, educación, justicia, transporte, jubilación y demás inversiones sociales”.

Además, Echegaray remitió una nota a la Comisión Nacional de Valores de EE.UU (SEC) a través de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en el país donde se detallan las irregularidades de la multinacional, cursó un pedido de intercambio de información a Suiza y Brasil e informó al Banco Central de la Argentina de las irregularidades a la Ley Penal Cambiaria detectadas.

“Nuestro objetivo principal es que P&G reintegre al Banco Central las divisas fugadas y que pague las sanciones aduaneras y el impuesto a las ganancias evadido por la manipulación de los precios de transferencia”, destacó el administrador federal.

La multinacional deberá regularizar las operaciones de comercio exterior y cancelar las multas respectivas ante la Aduana, a cargo del contador Carlos Sánchez. Además, deberá pagar el Impuesto a las Ganancias evadido por los ajustes de precios de transferencia a la DGI, a cargo del contador Rubén Toninelli.

Asimismo, la AFIP presentó dos denuncias en la Fiscalía Nacional en lo Penal Económico Nº 2, a cargo del Dr. Emilio Guerberoff.

La primera la efectuó el 10 de octubre pasado a través del subdirector general de Técnico Legal Aduanera, Rubén Pave y la segunda fue presentada el 15 de octubre a través del subdirector General de Operaciones Aduaneras Metropolitanas, Daniel Santanna.

También AFIP solicitó a la Justicia que impida la salida del país de los directivos de la filial local hasta tanto se resuelva la situación de la multinacional.

On Thursday, Ethiopia’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) released its preliminary report on the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302, which killed all 157 passengers and crew. The crash, which took place on March 10, marked the second fatal crash of a nearly brand-new Boeing 737 Max airliner since October and precipitated the grounding of the global 737 Max fleet.

The AIB’s initial findings present data from the crashed plane’s flight-data recorder (FDR), which shows that faulty readings from a malfunctioning angle-of-attack (AOA) sensor triggered the 737 Max’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that is designed to automatically push the nose of the plane downward.

“Shortly after liftoff, the value of the left angle of attack sensor deviated from the right one and reached 74.5 degrees while the right angle of attack sensor value was 15.3 degrees,” the report said.

In a statement, Boeing confirmed that the AOA sensor triggered MCAS just like it had done on Lion Air Flight JT610, which crashed on October 28 off the coast of Indonesia.

“The preliminary report contains flight data recorder information indicating the airplane had an erroneous angle of attack sensor input that activated the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) function during the flight, as it had during the Lion Air 610 flight,” Boeing said.

Data from the FDR and recordings from the cockpit seemingly confirm that the Ethiopian pilots followed Boeing’s procedures on how to defeat an erroneously triggered MCAS.

Read more: FAA expects Boeing to come up with new software to fix the grounded 737 Max in a matter of weeks.

Unfortunately, the pilots also reported issues with portions of the manual flight controls after MCAS was turned off.

More specifically, the first officer complained approximately three minutes into the flight that his controls to manually trim the aircraft stabilizers were not working.

The preliminary report did not assign causation for the crash, and a final report is expected at a later date.

Boeing is working on a software update for the 737 Max’s control system that will dial back the intrusiveness of MCAS.

“To ensure unintended MCAS activation will not occur again, Boeing has developed and is planning to release a software update to MCAS and an associated comprehensive pilot training and supplementary education program for the 737 Max,” Boeing’s statement said.

“As previously announced, the update adds additional layers of protection and will prevent erroneous data from causing MCAS activation,” Boeing added. “Flight crews will always have the ability to override MCAS and manually control the airplane.”

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing is expected to submit its package of potential fixes for regulatory approval in the coming weeks.

Miami, FL.- La comunidad hispana en Estados Unidos tendrá desde hoy un mayor acceso a la información y a las noticias que les afectan gracias a la alianza formada por Noticias Telemundo y el diario La Opinión.

 

Como resultado de este acuerdo, Noticias Telemundo ofrecerá primicias y adelantos de las series noticiosas que trabajará en conjunto con La Opinión y, a su vez, compartirá sus videos en los sitios del diario.

 

La Opinión y Telemundo se unen para informar a la comunidad

 

“Estamos muy contentos, ya que asociarse con el periódico en español más importante del país no es algo que sucede todos los días”, dijo Luis Fernández, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo de Noticias Telemundo. “Nuestras estructuras se complementan de una manera ideal para producir historias de interés para la comunidad hispana”, dijo Fernández.

 

Por su parte, Damián Mazzotta, Gerente General de la zona oeste de Impremedia, la empresa que agrupa a La Opinión y otros medios hispanos en todo el país, aseguró que la organización está muy emocionada de unir fuerzas con el equipo de Telemundo. 

 

“Durante 90 años de servicio La Opinión se ha dedicado a abogar por la comunidad latina. Creemos que esta alianza tendrá un impacto duradero al generar contenido relevante que refleja el presente y futuro de nuestra cultura”, indicó Mazzotta.

 

Eduardo Suñol, vicepresidente de Noticias Telemundo Digital, resaltó que esta alianza unificará las voces hispanas de costa a costa ya que muchas veces las historias locales de la comunidad se quedan en las calles, en los supermercados, en los lugares de trabajo y se pierden por falta de difusión.

 

“Nosotros queremos contar esas historias locales para que no se pierdan y que por el contrario, resuenen en todo el país. Que lo que pase en Los Angeles, se sepa en Miami o en Nueva York y que nuestra comunidad no esté limitada”, dijo Suñol.

 

El acuerdo se produce a pocos meses de  las elecciones presidenciales, un momento en el que la comunidad necesita estar más informada para tomar las decisiones que afectarán a sus vidas.

 

“Este es un tiempo decisivo para los hispanos. Quien quiera ser presidente no puede ignorar o dejar de considerar la voz de nuestra comunidad”, indicó Fernández. “Esta alianza nos permitirá incrementar recursos y multiplicar plataformas para que la gente esté más enterada”.

 

De igual manera, Gabriel Lerner, editor en jefe de La Opinión, aseguró que gracias a esta alianza los hispanos tendrán la oportunidad de recibir información de gran importancia para la comunidad en esta época en la que se aproximan las elecciones.

Two months ago, federal prosecutors in Minneapolis brought witnesses before a federal grand jury to provide testimony related to the incident, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported at the time. And this week, a source informed of the probe told ABC News that the investigation is still underway, with the Justice Department still weighing whether to bring federal charges against Chauvin for both the 2017 incident and George Floyd’s death.


Officials at the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) were recently briefed on the federal government’s interest in the 2017 incident, a move that came before the Justice Department this week launched a sweeping investigation of MPD’s policing practices, ABC News was told.


“We will assist the DOJ with anything that they need, and the chief has pledged full cooperation with any investigating agency,” MPD spokesman John Elder said, speaking generally of any requests made related to police conduct.


Months before the start of the trial against Chauvin, which culminated in Tuesday’s conviction, state prosecutors wanted to describe the 2017 incident to the jury to show a pattern in Chauvin’s conduct, but the judge presiding over the case refused to let prosecutors bring it up.


Nevertheless, in court documents filed before the judge’s final ruling on the matter, Frank said videos of the incident captured by body-worn cameras “show Chauvin’s use of unreasonable force towards this child and complete disdain for his well-being.”


Derek Chauvin trial coverage


According to Frank’s account of the incident, Chauvin and another Minneapolis police officer were dispatched to a home where a woman claimed she had been attacked by her 14-year-old son and young daughter.


After officers entered the home and spoke to the woman, they ordered the son to lie on the ground, but he refused. Within seconds, Chauvin hit the teenager with his flashlight, grabbed the teenager’s throat, hit him again with the flashlight, and then “applied a neck restraint, causing the child to lose consciousness and go to the ground,” according to Frank’s account of the videos, detailed in a filing seeking permission to raise the incident during trial.


“Chauvin and (the other officer) placed (the teenager) in the prone position and handcuffed him behind his back while the teenager’s mother pleaded with them not to kill her son and told her son to stop resisting,” Frank wrote, noting that at one point the teenager’s ear began bleeding. “About a minute after going to the ground, the child began repeatedly telling the officers that he could not breathe, and his mother told Chauvin to take his knee off her son.”


About eight minutes in, Chauvin moved his knee to the teenager’s upper back and left it there for nine more minutes, according to Frank.


Eventually, Chauvin told the teenager he was under arrest for domestic assault and obstruction with force. The two officers then helped the teenager to an ambulance, which took him to a hospital to receive stitches, Frank wrote.


In his court filing, Frank said Chauvin’s handling of the 14-year-old boy mirrored Chauvin’s actions with Floyd, when Chauvin pinned Floyd’s neck under his knee for more than eight minutes after responding to a call at a convenience store where Floyd allegedly used a counterfeit $20 bill.


“As was true with the conduct with George Floyd, Chauvin rapidly escalated his use of force for a relatively minor offense,” Frank wrote. “Just like with Floyd, Chauvin used an unreasonable amount of force without regard for the need for that level of force or the victim’s well-being. Just like with Floyd, when the child was slow to comply with Chauvin and (the other officer’s) instructions, Chauvin grabbed the child by the throat, forced him to the ground in the prone position, and placed his knee on the child’s neck with so much force that the child began to cry out in pain and tell Chauvin he could not breathe.”


Last year, as Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck, Floyd repeatedly pleaded, “I can’t breathe.”


But Chauvin’s defense attorney Eric Nelson disputed such comparisons, insisting, “there is no marked similarity between (the 2017 incident) and the George Floyd incident.” 



In his own court filing objecting to the prosecution team’s efforts, Nelson insisted that during the 2017 incident Chauvin acted according to MPD policy by using a neck restraint against someone “actively resisting” arrest, which MPD policy at the time allowed officers to do, Nelson wrote.


In addition, Nelson noted, “a mother had been physically assaulted by her children,” and when Chauvin’s use of force was reported to supervisors, it was “cleared.”


“It was reasonable and authorized under the law as well as MPD policy,” Nelson said.


The judge presiding over the case agreed with Nelson that the jury should not hear about the 2017 incident, so prosecutors were blocked from bringing it up during Chauvin’s trial.


Three other officers who were with Chauvin at the scene last year when Floyd died have been charged with aiding and abetting Chauvin’s fatal actions. They are scheduled to stand trial in August.


A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by ABC News.


On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department was launching a civil investigation — not a criminal probe — to determine if the Minneapolis Police Department “engages in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional or unlawful policing,” including whether Minneapolis police routinely use excessive force and engage in discriminatory conduct.


The wide-ranging civil investigation “is separate from and independent of the federal criminal investigation into the death of George Floyd that the Justice Department has previously announced,” Garland said.


Nelson did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment from ABC News.

Maradona intentó frenar la salida de NOTICIAS

Mediante una cautelar se quiso evitar la publicación de una nota a Rocío Oliva en la que muestra fotos de golpes que le atribuye al futbolista

POLÉMICA. Oliva mostró a NOTICIAS varias fotos en las que sale golpeada y denuncia que habrían sido de su ex pareja, Diego Maradona. [ Ver fotogalería ]


La jueza Mónica Liliana Preisz dio lugar a una medida cautelar presentada por los abogados de Diego Maradona mediante la cual se prohíbe a NOTICIAS publicar declaraciones de Rocío Oliva sobre la vida privada del ex jugador.

En el último número de la revista, que se distribuye hoy de manera anticipada por el feriado, Oliva muestra, en exclusiva, las fotos que, según ella, prueban que Maradona la golpeaba.

Sin embargo, la decisión del Juzgado Civil y Comercial Nº12 de Morón llegó a NOTICIAS en horas de la tarde del jueves 19,cuando la edición de la misma ya estaba impresa y en proceso de distribución.

La jueza argumentó en su escrito que cuando alguien siente afectado su derecho a la intimidad “está habilitado para solicitar el dictado de medidas precautorias suficientes que dispongan el cese de los actos que el actor considere lesivos, siempre y cuando se acredite la verosimilitud de derecho y el peligro en la demora, presupuestos básicos de toda medida cautelar”.

Este impedimento de publicar dichos de la ex de Maradona no solo alcanza a NOTICIAS, sino también a todos los medios de información, sean estos televisivos, radiales, impresos o digitales.

También le niega a Oliva la posibilidad de hacer declaraciones públicas alusivas “a la situación personal, aspectos subjetivos, dignidad, salud psíquica, honorabilidad y demás cuestiones atinentes a la vida privada del Sr. Diego Armando Maradona”.

En la nota, la ex del ídolo cuenta las intimidades de su convivencia en Dubai con el futbolista. Y también se reproduce la desmentida de Maradona, a través de sus abogados, de los hechos de violencia que le adjudica Oliva.

House Democrats are vowing an aggressive response to President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump nominates ambassador to Turkey Trump heads to Mar-a-Lago after signing bill to avert shutdown CNN, MSNBC to air ad turned down by Fox over Nazi imagery MORE‘s emergency declaration at the southwest border, mulling ways to block his go-it-alone approach with legislation, legal action, or both.

Yet party leaders are in no immediate rush to show their hand, instead hoping to keep the focus on growing GOP divisions while pressuring more Republicans to oppose the president’s unilateral power play.

Heading into the week-long President’s Day recess, the office of Speaker Nancy PelosiNancy Patricia D’Alesandro PelosiConstitutional conservatives need to oppose the national emergency House Judiciary Dems seek answers over Trump’s national emergency declaration Why don’t we build a wall with Canada? MORE (D-Calif.) is distributing a spreadsheet to members logging a host of wide-ranging local projects potentially threatened by Trump’s effort to shift funds from military construction coffers to the border wall.

The list — nearly 400-projects long — features a number of ventures in GOP districts. It includes maintenance facilities for F-35 stealth fighters at Eielson Air Force Base outside Fairbanks, Alaska; the operation of a middle school at Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and funds to replace a training maze at Fort Bragg, N.C.

“We have to smoke out as many Republicans as possible by making the case that projects in their backyard are in jeopardy and will likely be raided to help pay for Trump’s ineffective and politically motivated wall,” said a senior Democratic aide.

Key congressional Republicans, meanwhile, don’t need any nudge from Democrats. They’re already tearing themselves apart over Trump’s declaration.

“Congress has granted the executive branch certain spending authorities. I strongly object to any president acting outside of those explicit authorities to spend money that Congress has not appropriated for specific initiatives,” said Rep. Greg WaldenGregory (Greg) Paul WaldenFormer Ryan aide moves to K street Overnight Health Care — Presented by PCMA — Lawmakers pay tribute to John Dingell’s legacy on health care | White House denies officials are sabotaging ObamaCare | FDA wants meeting with Juul, Altria execs on youth vaping House members hint at bipartisan net neutrality bill MORE, the House GOP’s former top campaigns chief and the only Republican in the Oregon delegation.

“We recognize the president has the authority to declare a national emergency but believe this sets a bad precedent and lets Congress off the hook from doing its job,” Reed said. “We encourage the president to use other means to move around unused money to build off of the down payment on border security Congress is delivering with this funding bill.”

Across the Capitol, GOP criticism of Trump’s executive move was even more scathing.

Sen. Lamar AlexanderAndrew (Lamar) Lamar AlexanderCongress must move forward on measure dealing with fentanyl GOP advances rules change to speed up confirmation of Trump nominees Key doctors group faces political risks on guns MORE (R-Tenn.), a former member of leadership and senior appropriator, lambasted Trump’s emergency declaration as “unnecessary, unwise and inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution.”

Sen. Booker (D-N.J.) is running for president, while Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) is expected by many to enter the race.

“It doesn’t matter who the President is or what party they belong to: I strongly believe in the separation of powers and curbing the kind of executive overreach that Congress has allowed to fester for the better part of the last century, including during the Obama Administration,” Tillis said in a statement.

Those GOP concerns aren’t necessarily unfounded. On Friday, Rep. Ilhan OmarIlhan OmarBusiness, conservative groups slam Trump’s national emergency declaration Trump tweets video mocking Dems not cheering during State of the Union Omar: Next president should declare national emergency on climate change ‘on day 1’ MORE (D-Minn.), a progressive freshman rabble rouser, tweeted that the next president “should declare a #NationalEmergency on day 1 to address the existential threat to all life on the planet posed by Climate Change.”

Rep. Earl BlumenauerEarl BlumenauerBusinesses need bank accounts — marijuana shops included Dem senator introduces S. 420 bill that would legalize marijuana Dems downplay divisions over Green New Deal MORE (D-Ore.) went a step further, announcing Friday that he’ll soon introduce a congressional emergency declaration on climate change. And Pelosi on Thursday warned Republicans that backing Trump’s unilateral action would haunt them, potentially liberating the next Democratic president to launch a similar gambit to restrict guns.

“I’m not advocating for any president doing an end-run around Congress,” she said. “I’m just saying that the Republicans should have some dismay about the door that they are opening.”

The bipartisan pushback arrived within hours after Trump, speaking from the White House Rose Garden, declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. The president argued that waves of migrants streaming north from Central America pose a direct threat to national security, leaving him no choice but to sidestep Congress and direct $8 billion from other projects to build the wall he’d promised during his 2016 campaign.

“It’s a great thing to do because we have an invasion of drugs, invasion of gangs, invasion of people,” Trump said.

A day earlier, Congress had passed a sweeping federal spending bill, providing funds to roughly a quarter of the government — including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — and preventing another partial shutdown.

Trump agreed to sign the package, but only reluctantly, since Democrats had successfully blocked the $5.7 billion in border wall funds he’d requested within it. The emergency declaration, endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellAddison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellGreen New Deal Resolution invites big picture governing ‘Contingency’ spending in 3B budget deal comes under fire Coulter defends Paul Ryan: This is 100 percent Trump’s fault MORE (R-Ky.), was the president’s way to claim victory in defeat.

That proposal could arrive as early as next week, according to a second Democratic aide.

“We’ve got people flooding in to support this, which is great,” the aide said.

Among the early supporters is Rep. Steve CohenStephen (Steve) Ira CohenDemocrat vows to move forward with impeachment, dividing his party Five takeaways from acting AG’s fiery House hearing Whitaker takes grilling from House lawmakers MORE (D-Tenn.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee’s subpanel on the Constitution. It’s unclear, however, if Democrats will rally around the Castro resolution or another proposal, or if they’ll move it through committees or bring it straight to the floor.

Passage by the House would create an enormous headache for McConnell. Although the Kentucky Republican said he supports Trump’s declaration, the National Emergencies Act requires that such a resolution is deemed privileged, guaranteeing a vote on the Senate floor, and highlighting GOP divisions with Trump.

Democrats are also eyeing a legal challenge to Trump’s declaration, with House Majority Leader Steny HoyerSteny Hamilton HoyerWinners and losers in the border security deal Overnight Defense: Trump to sign funding deal, declare national emergency | Shanahan says allies will be consulted on Afghanistan | Dem demands Khashoggi documents On The Money: Trump to sign border deal, declare emergency to build wall | Senate passes funding bill, House to follow | Dems promise challenge to emergency declaration MORE (D-Md.) predicting this week that Democrats “would test it in the courts.”

Democrats could file such a suit themselves, or piggyback onto other legal challenges sure to come from states, landowners and other stakeholders affected by new wall construction. California, for instance, announced Friday that it will file such a suit. And others are eager to join.

“I am voting for Poroshenko because he has already demonstrated his ability to do things, not just words,” said Nataliia Pavlik, 72, after she voted in Kiev on Sunday. She also named the ability to travel to Europe visa-free, church autonomy and the army as important considerations.

“He raised it from the ashes. I want him to anchor all of this for the next five years,” she added.

Ms. Tymoshenko, 58, has adopted populist positions like plans to cut gas prices in half and to raise wages without being specific about how to pay for them. Subsidized gas prices were raised at the insistence of the International Monetary Fund, whose support is critical to Ukraine’s recovery.

She also sells herself as being able to bargain with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia because she had dealt with him as prime minister. But she earned her own fortune through gas deals with Russia, a common source of wealth for the Ukrainian elite, earning the nickname “the gas princess.”

Ms. Tymoshenko was also prosecuted and imprisoned by the Russian-aligned former government. Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s onetime campaign manager who has been sentenced to prison in the United States over undeclared income from Ukraine, among other things, had orchestrated a long, expensive, smear campaign against her.

Anatoly S. Hrytsenko, a former defense minister, is fourth in the polls and a possible dark-horse candidate given his military background.

Illinois State Police Trooper Brooke Jones-Story had her police family, her CrossFit family, the farm animals she rescued — roles in many communities that are already missing her, according to her relatives.

Jones-Story, 34, was killed while conducting a traffic stop Thursday in Freeport, west of Rockford on U.S. Highway 20 near Illinois Route 75, state police said.

She had pulled over a truck and was outside her car about 12:20 p.m., inspecting the truck on the shoulder of the road, when another semitractor-trailer hit her, along with her squad car and the truck she’d stopped, state police said. Both trucks erupted in flames. The driver of the truck that hit Jones-Story was ticketed and taken into custody, and no one else was injured, authorities said.

Two days after her death, Jones-Story’s family released a statement through the state police agency where she worked for 12 years — and where met her husband, Master Sgt. Robert Story, whom she married in 2012 in Galena, Ill. The family described Jones-Story as a strong, service-driven woman who loved her family and friends and was passionate about her work as a trooper.
