From the Senate’s infrastructure bill proposal to record trading volume for NFTs: 5 key things that happened in crypto this past week – CNBC
From the Senate’s infrastructure bill proposal to record trading volume for NFTs: 5 key things that happened in crypto this past week – CNBC

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market value, extended its rally into the weekend. It surpassed $42,000 on Sunday, which was its highest since May. But its price since leveled, and as of Monday morning, is trading at around $39,800.

Bitcoin’s moves aren’t the only things happening in crypto right now. From the Senate’s infrastructure bill proposal to a record trading volume for NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, here are five key things that happened in crypto this past week.

1. Amazon denies report that it plans to accept bitcoin as payment

2. Sen. Elizabeth Warren continues to push for more crypto regulation

This past week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., doubled down on her calls for more crypto regulation.

On July 26, Warren sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pressing the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) to coordinate a “cohesive regulatory strategy” surrounding cryptocurrency. “I urge FSOC to act with urgency and use its statutory authority to address cryptocurrencies’ risks and ensure the safety and stability of our financial system.”

Warren also spoke during the Senate Banking Committee hearing on Tuesday titled “Cryptocurrencies: What are they good for?” There, she continued her critique of the space. “Crypto puts the [financial] system at the whims of some shadowy, faceless group of super-coders and miners,” Warren said.

On Wednesday, Warren told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that she’s skeptical bitcoin will prove to be a reliable hedge against inflation over time.

3. Tesla and Square record millions in bitcoin-related impairments

4. Crypto industry critiques infrastructure bill

Last week, the Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure bill proposal sparked concern within the crypto community after a provision of the package detailed plans to impose stricter rules regarding tax collection on “digital assets.”

Initially, the bill defined a cryptocurrency “broker” very broadly, and many worried that the provision would include people like miners who wouldn’t have access to the information needed to comply.

On Sunday, however, the Senate released its latest version of the bill, which clarified its definition. If passed, the provision would define a “broker” as “any person who (for consideration) is responsible for regularly providing any service effectuating transfers of digital assets on behalf of another person.”

Still, the Blockchain Association urges for more changes. “While some minor improvements have been made, the latest language still poses fundamental concerns and questions about certain terms and definitions used in the provision,” Kristin Smith, executive director of the Blockchain Association, said in a statement. “[T]his provision is written in a way that could be interpreted to apply to persons in the crypto ecosystem who don’t have access to the information required for information reporting.”

The latest draft of the infrastructure bill includes raising nearly $30 billion from cracking down on crypto tax evasion.

5. Record trading volume of NFTs

Trump can be sued for role in January 6 attack on Capitol, federal judge rules – CBS News
Trump can be sued for role in January 6 attack on Capitol, federal judge rules – CBS News

Washington — Former President Donald Trump can be sued for damages incurred during the January 6 attack on the Capitol, “the first-ever presidential transfer of power marred by violence,” a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled Friday. 

In a written opinion that ran over 100 pages, Judge Amit Mehta rejected the former president’s claims that he is entitled to broad immunity from multiple lawsuits blaming him for the riot. Mehta reasoned that some of Trump’s actions on January 6 were “plausibly words of incitement not protected by the First Amendment” or by presidential immunity. 

Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell of California, two members of the Capitol Police, and a group of House Democrats, led by Congressman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, have each accused the former president of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6 in three separate lawsuits. 

The suit filed by Swalwell also named Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, Donald Trump Jr., and GOP Congressman Mo Brooks of Alabama. The suit filed by 11 House Democrats alleges Trump, Giuliani and two far-right extremist groups, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, conspired to incite a crowd of his supporters to breach the Capitol in order to stop Congress from counting states’ electoral votes and reaffirming President Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.

Taken together, the lawsuits were filed under a provision of a Reconstruction-era statute known as the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, which holds that it is illegal for a group to conspire to prevent federal government officials from carrying out their lawful duties. 

They allege Trump and his political allies conspired to prevent Congress from performing the necessary task of certifying the 2020 presidential election and the extremist groups aided in the execution of that conspiracy. 

Mehta ruled that many of the claims against Trump, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys may continue in court, but he dismissed the lawsuits filed against Trump Jr. and Giuliani. 

Trump argued in court filings and hearings that he has “absolute immunity” from liability in the three civil suits filed against him and claimed his remarks outside the White House before the mob descended on the Capitol were political speech protected by the First Amendment. 

During that speech, he urged attendees of the “Save America” rally at the Ellipse to “fight like hell” and march to the Capitol building “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” words referenced multiple times in Mehta’s opinion. 

The former president contended that in his January 6 speech, he was acting in his capacity as president in an attempt to affect Congress’s certification of the Electoral College votes and is therefore not responsible for any of the damage from the rioting that took place after his speech. He was not conspiring to commit a crime, his lawyers argued, but acting as president of the United States.

The judge flatly rejected this claim, writing the fiery speech was not part of the president’s official duty — it was focused on keeping him in office for a second term. 

Trump used the speech “to complain about perceived cases of election fraud…and to exhort the Vice President to return those certifications to those states to be recertified,” Mehta wrote.

Then-Vice President Mike Pence resisted the entreaties of the former president and many other Republicans to reject the certification of the Electoral College votes. 

Based on the evidence provided, Mehta said that it is reasonable to assume that when Trump called on his supporters to march the Capitol and “fight like Hell,” “he did so with the goal of disrupting lawmakers’ efforts to certify the Electoral college votes.” 

Trump issued a call to action and his supporters responded by breaching the Capitol, the judge said. 

Dissecting Trump’s speech on the Ellipse, the conditions of its delivery and the rhetoric leading up to it, Mehta reasoned the former president’s words “stoked an already inflamed crowd, which had heard for months that the election was stolen.”

He concluded that Trump’s words were “an implicit call for imminent violence or lawlessness” that are neither protected by presidential immunity nor the First Amendment. 

 Mehta did, however, reject Swalwell’s claim that the former president should be held liable for not exercising his presidential powers to stop the riot. 

“Were it otherwise, Presidents routinely would be subject to suit for not doing more or for not acting at all,” the judge wrote, while allowing other parts of Swalwell’s lawsuit to go forward. 

The attorney representing Trump in this lawsuit did not immediately respond to CBS News’ request for comment.

As for Rudy Giuliani, Mehta ruled that although Trump’s former personal lawyer advocated for “trial by combat” during his own January 6, 2021 speech, he did not issue a call to action.

“There is no allegation that anyone took Giuliani’s words as permission to enter the Capitol,” the judge wrote, a conclusion he also reached in the case of the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr. 

The Oath Keepers unsuccessfully contended they should not be held accountable for the riot under that Reconstruction-Era law because Congress was not actually performing its official duty, a claim multiple defendants facing criminal prosecution for their alleged roles in the attack have also made.

“This reading of the Constitution defies common sense,” Mehta wrote Friday.

Jon Moseley, an attorney for the Oath Keepers, said he was not surprised by Mehta’s order when CBS News informed him of the judge’s decision. Moseley did, however, say he hopes the court further consolidates these lawsuits to make them more efficient going forward. 

D.C. Attorney General Carl Racine announced last year that his office was also suing the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys on similar legal grounds. 

Friday’s ruling does not mean the former president has been found responsible for the attack, but that the lawsuits against him can continue in federal court.

Trump says temporarily suspending immigration will protect jobs, health of Americans

John Roberts reports from the White House on the decision.

“The View” co-host Ana Navarro attacked President Trump’s plan to suspend immigration, arguing that it disrespected undocumented immigrants who were working to provide food for the country during the coronavirus pandemic.

“One thing that has not been spoken about enough — there has been no food shortage,” Navarro said on Wednesday.

“There has been no stop of the food supply in the United States. If you were able to pour fresh milk into your cereal this morning, if you had sliced strawberries, if you have been eating meat, if you have been drinking dairy, it’s probably because there are immigrants, undocumented immigrants in the fields of America risking their lives, working not at six feet apart in order to continue feeding us.

TRUMP’S POLICIES, BORDER WALL HAVE BEEN CRITICAL IN CONTAINING CORONAVIRUS, CBP CHIEF SAYS: ‘WE’RE MUCH BETTER POSITIONED NOW’

“So you know how we often like to say and you often hear, oh, immigrants do the job that nobody else is willing to do? Well, a lot of those jobs include risking their lives so the rest of us can be in quarantine, and we can stop this evil pandemic,” she added. “So, we really have to think about just how much immigration has meant to flattening this curve and dealing with this issue — legal and undocumented — that’s the damn truth.”

Her comments came as “The View” co-hosts panned President Trump’s immigration order.

Co-host Sunny Hostin argued that Trump was disingenuous in his purported concern for American jobs.

“You know, the upcoming ban, again, it’s going to exempt seasonal foreign farm worker visas, which is one of the largest sources of immigration at the moment, and so this is, again, just sort of this hazy deflection — red meat for his base, he thinks it’s going to work,” she said.

Co-host Joy Behar similarly said that Trump’s “answer to everything is to ban immigrants and scapegoat foreigners to fire up the hardliners in his base.”

BETO ATTACKS TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION ORDER: ‘WHO THE F–K DO YOU THINK IS WORKING ON THE FARMS?’

Their comments piled onto existing criticism of Trump’s decision to halt immigration. Trump has defended the move as a way to contain the coronavirus and protect American workers.

But according to the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), Trump’s actions were appropriate given the circumstances.

“President Trump’s action to suspend all immigration is perfectly legal and appropriate. Federal law endows the chief executive with broad powers in times of national crisis. Coronavirus is crippling both the health and work prospects of American citizens. To allow a continued influx of foreign nationals at this time would only worsen the situation,” said Dale Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI.

Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan recently told Fox News that Trump’s previous immigration restrictions have been critical in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

“Look at where we’ve come because of this president, because of this administration, because of the tools, including the wall … We’re much better positioned now today to handle another threat to our country today through infectious disease,” he said.

Eric Miller, Trump nominee for 9th Circuit Court, confirmed by Senate – Washington Times
Eric Miller, Trump nominee for 9th Circuit Court, confirmed by Senate – Washington Times

WASHINGTON — The Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump’s nominee to be a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a party-line vote.

The Seattle attorney, Eric Miller, was confirmed 53-46, as the Republican-led Senate focuses on reshaping the federal judiciary in the Trump era.

The appeals court oversees the Western states and is often a target of Trump’s complaints about the judicial branch.

Miller was nominated last year but faced opposition from Democrats, in part over his views on issues of tribal sovereignty.

Among those objecting were Washington state’s two Democratic senators. Aides say Miller’s confirmation marks the first time the Senate has strayed from tradition and confirmed a judicial nominee over the dissent of both home-state senators.

Cuánto cobran los hijos de Tinelli para promocionar una marca – Perfil.com
Cuánto cobran los hijos de Tinelli para promocionar una marca – Perfil.com

Mar del Plata no es Punta del Este. El concurrido balneario de Playa Grande no es tan exclusivo como José Ignacio. Sin embargo, si el cachet es el suficiente, todo se puede arreglar. Micaela (28), Candelaria (26) y Francisco Tinelli (18) cambiaron las comodidades de la costa uruguaya por una tarde en “la feliz”. Sonrientes y dispuestos para las fotos, los tres hijos mayores de Marcelo Tinelli ya no rehúyen de las cámaras y la exposición, sino que ahora disfrutan su perfil mediático e incluso sacan rédito del mismo. Lejos de la timidez que alguna vez mostraban, los tres entendieron que forman parte de la farándula nacional y se adaptaron a este modo de vida, volviéndolo un trabajo. Su presencia en el parador de Coca Cola en Mar del Plata fue el último ejemplo de su nuevo oficio.
Desde la trinchera de las redes sociales se convirtieron en referentes para el público juvenil y su perfil no paró de crecer. Así, aunque siguen siendo “los hijos de”, sumaron peso específico y se convirtieron en personajes deseados por todas las empresas. Su asistencia a eventos ya no se debe a ser partenaires de su padre, sino que son ellos los que son buscados y requeridos por las marcas.
La última empresa que sedujo a los Tinelli y juntó a los tres para un evento publicitario fue Coca Cola. Según aseguran fuentes cercanas a la organización del evento, el monto que se llevaron Mica, Cande y Francisco rondó los 100.000 pesos. Otras fuentes del mercado aseguran que fue el doble. Cualquiera de las dos cifras significa un gran rédito por una tarde de trabajo.
Negocios. “Los invitamos porque Coca Cola es una empresa familiar y ellos iban justo con la imagen de la marca”, explicaron desde la empresa y agregaron que la presencia del grupo Rombai en el evento fue clave para el sí. “Tienen muy buena onda”, comentaron. Pero no fue sólo la afinidad con la banda la que posibilitó que los Tinelli concurrieran al evento, sino que el dinero hizo su parte.
Desde la empresa aseguran que el cachet fue de 100.000 pesos entre los tres, pero quienes conocen el mundo de las relaciones públicas arriesgan que se trató del doble: 200.000 pesos. Estas mismas fuentes explican que el “sueldo” de cada uno de los Tinelli oscila generalmente entre los 30.000 y 35.000 pesos, pero que en esta oportunidad pidieron más. La presencia de los tres juntos cotiza en alza, sobre todo si no van a posar solamente, sino que además hablarán con la prensa.
“La presencia de ellos estaba pensada para la prensa”, aseguran fuentes cercanas a Coca Cola. Es que mientras Rombai buscaba cautivar a los veraneantes, los tres integrantes de la familia Tinelli en el parador atraían al periodismo. Y aunque finalmente las declaraciones que brindaron no fueron resonantes, los tres cumplieron con su jornada laboral. Bailaron, subieron posteos a sus redes sociales y posaron para las fotos.
“Nunca habíamos hecho algo juntos y la pasamos muy bien”, aseguró Micaela. La mayor, dueña de la marca de ropa Ginebra, es la más habituada a este tipo de presentaciones. “Es la más ‘eventera’”, coinciden quienes conocen el mundo de las relaciones públicas. “Fue la primera en animarse a asistir a eventos y es la que tiene el perfil más comercial”, explican.
Candelaria tardó un poco más en prestarse al mundo de las celebridades. Sus fobias sociales le hacían difícil las apariciones públicas. Sin embargo, poco a poco fue venciendo esos temores y, de hecho, desde las redes sociales creó un personaje que la volvió una de las it girls más convocantes y seguidas del país. Francisco, en tanto, es el más nuevo en este mundillo, aunque ya aprendió las mañas. En un principio “hacía presencias con amigos y ‘de onda’, pero ahora fue entendiendo el juego. Pregunta dónde los vas a parar o con quién le vas a sacar fotos y cosas así”, detalla un relacionista público.
De todos modos, la presencia de los Tinelli no siempre está sujeta a dinero. “A muchos eventos asisten por amistad o porque les gusta, por ejemplo, un recital”, detalla un conocedor, quien además rescata otro punto en común: “Ellos saben bien el target al que apuntan y si hay un evento que no se ajusta a su perfil, por más que haya mucha plata, no van”, asegura.

Los tres, a su modo y con sus perfiles, no reniegan de su rol de “hijos de” pero en vez de resignarse, buscan sacar rédito del mismo. Han sabido hacer de la marca familiar un negocio que incluso trasciende a su padre. De hecho, asistieron a un evento de Coca Cola cuando el histórico auspiciante de “Showmatch” fue su principal competidora, Pepsi. Micaela, Candelaria y Francisco se convirtieron en trabajadores de la fama.

Book recounts Arabian horse history in Brazil – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)
Book recounts Arabian horse history in Brazil – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)

São Paulo – The first Arabian horse specimens arrived in Brazil in the 19th century, but there used to be no comprehensive records of their origins, use, and dissemination across the country. Now there are. Released in late 2014, the book O Cavalo Árabe no Brasil (The Arabian horse in Brazil) recounts the history of the animal in the country and features photo essays portraying the ways in which it is used throughout the Brazilian territory. The book features texts by Mario Braga, photos by Marco Terranova and editing from Andrea Jakobsson.

Marco Terranova

The Arabian horse is bred all over Brazil

According to Braga, the book was one of the actions designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian Association of Arabian Horse Breeders (ABCCA), in 2014. “We had no accounts available of the history of the animal in these parts, and Brazil is a landmark when it comes to breeding Arabian horses. We raise and export the animal,” Braga said. In a bid to retrieve the race’s history in the country, the author resorted to foreign publications, research works, and old newspapers.

Braga claims the earliest documentation of the animal’s arrival in Brazil date from 1860, but there is little information regarding importation and utilization from that time. The first official Arabian horse breeder was Guilherme Echenique Filho, who imported seven specimens in the 1920s from a stud farm in Argentina to Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state.

The race was only bred in the South, with a few specimens in other regions, until ABCCA was founded in 1964 by banker Aloysio Faria, one of the owners of Banco Real, which has since been incorporated into Santander. The association was established in Belo Horizonte and then implemented in São Paulo. Echenique joined Faria and then the Arabian horse started being used in the entire Brazilian territory.

The photos in the book show the Arabian horse in the pampas (lowlands) area of Rio Grande do Sul, among buffalo herds in Marajó, Pará, in Midwestern cattle farms, and even in the Northeastern caatinga (savannah). These pictures are testimony to one of the animal’s main features: its resistance.

“It is the oldest horse there is, the father to all races. The thoroughbred, the quarter horse, the Andalusian and the domestic horse all derive from the Arabian horse,” said Braga. According to information from ABCCA, the earliest records of the animal’s existence were found in Egyptian bas reliefs from the 16th century BC, and the race originated in the desert.

Arabian horses are bred in many countries, among them Argentina, United States, Egypt and Poland. Arab countries Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates invest in breeding and hold contests. In addition to racing, Arabian horses are used in genetic improvement.

Ocasio-Cortez calls Biden’s climate change plan ‘a deal-breaker.’

Biden hopes to find middle ground with republican voters.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday briefly grabbed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s gavel to preside over the House — reportedly becoming the youngest woman ever to do so.

The Democrat, who represents New York’s 14th Congressional District, tweeted the news.

“Every day here is a sacred privilege + responsibility entrusted to me by my community. I never forget that, and moments like these drive it home,” she wrote.

OCASIO-CORTEZ SAYS SHE WAS ‘ASTONISHED’ WHEN MAN LEFT SIGN OUTSIDE HER OFFICE IN SUPPORT OF BOTH HER AND TRUMP

Ocasio-Cortez, 29, presided over the House of Representatives for roughly an hour as part of a routine rotation of members, Reuters reported.

The congresswoman presided over “special orders,” which typically consists of House members discussing their home districts after legislative business is completed.

“That was my first time presiding. And it’s exciting,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters. “It’s certainly a view. I wish we could, I wish we were allowed to take photos.”

Last month, Pelosi, D-Calif., described Ocasio-Cortez as “a wonderful member of Congress, as I think all of our colleagues will attest” as she said certain districts, like the freshman rep’s, are “solidly Democratic.”

Últimas noticias de México hoy: Ruiz Massieu visitó EEUU para hablar de migrantes y del TLCAN – lagranepoca

La Gran Época le presenta un resumen de las últimas noticias mexicanas. En primer lugar, la secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores viajó al país vecino y diálogo con referentes como Paul Ryan y Ben Cardin, uno de los temas destacados fue el de los “dreamers”. Por otro lado, el efecto post-Trump llegó ahora a las tarjetas de crédito, ya que las entidades bancarias están restringiendo los montos disponibles.La economía de México podría entrar en recesión si Trump cumple sus amenazas al llegar a la presidencia de Estados Unidos, señaló Alicia Bárcenas. El Departamento de Transporte de Estados Unidos aprobó el acuerdo entre Delta y Aeroméxico y -por último- desde el primer día de enero de 2017 la gasolina aumentará 15%.

Ruiz Massieu visitó Estados Unidos para hablar de migrantes y del TLCAN

Claudia Ruiz Massieu, Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE), visitó Estados Unidos para sostener diversos encuentros con líderes del Congreso y de organismos influyentes en la política de EEUU.  “En gira de trabajo por Washington, DC, tuve la oportunidad de reunirme con líderes del Congreso de #EUA, como Paul Ryan, vocero de la Cámara de Representantes. Este encuentro buscó estrechar relaciones y refrendar el compromiso de bienestar con la comunidad mexicana que habita en #EUA”, informó la Secretaria, acompañada del Embajador Carlos Sada y  de Paulo Carreño, Subsecretario para América del Norte.

“Durante mi encuentro con Ben Cardin, conversamos sobre política exterior regional y destacamos también la importancia del TLCAN para ambos países”, escribió la titular de la SRE en su página de Facebook, quien también se reunió con miembros de The Heritage Foundation, señalando “la importancia que tiene la relación entre México y EUA en temas de competitividad y desarrollo económico”, precisó Ruiz Massieu.

La titular de la SRE escuchó testimonios e historias de vida de #DreamersWithoutBorders -quienes visitaron México- mencionando que “estos jóvenes son un orgullo de nuestro país”.  Y firmó la Declaración #TRICAMEX, mecanismo para “acompañar, atender y defender los derechos de nuestros paisanos en #EUA”.

Elección de Trump impacta a tarjetas bancarias

Los bancos están limitando montos de tarjetas de crédito ante la presión del entorno económico derivado del efecto Trump. Después del período de ampliación y crecimiento del crédito bancario, las más importantes instituciones en el país monitorean y limitan la expedición de tarjetas de crédito, informa la agencia Reuters.

BBVA Bancomer anunció la semana pasada la reducción de límites crediticios de tarjetas bancarias, así como el monitorio de ciertas cuentas; INBURSA declaró a Reuters que redujo un 8% la aprobación de tarjetas bancarias respecto de junio pasado; BANORTE estaría pensando tomar medidas precautorias para el consumo crediticio con sus instrumentos bancarios.

Recesión del país en 2017 si Trump cumple amenazas: CEPAL

La economía de México podría entrar en recesión si Trump cumple sus amenazas al llegar a la presidencia de Estados Unidos, señaló Alicia Bárcenas, secretaria general de la CEPAL, al presentar el Balance preliminar de las economías de América Latina y El Caribe 2016 en la conferencia de prensa en Santiago de Chile el día de ayer. Estimaciones previas indicaban que México crecería al 2%, pero la situación actual hace prever que será de un 1.9%, expresó Bárcenas.

Las economías de Centroamérica y México (como grupo) pasaron de registrar una inflación (acumulada a 12 meses) de 2,5% en septiembre de 2015 a 3,4% en septiembre de 2016. “América Latina y el Caribe retomará tenue crecimiento en 2017 en medio de incertidumbres sobre la economía mundial. Tras dos años seguidos de caídas, la región crecerá 1,3% el próximo año en un complejo escenario internacional”, indican las nuevas proyecciones de la CEPAL.

Si hay continuidad en la política monetaria expansiva del Banco Central Europeo y del Banco Central de Japón hasta fines de 2017,”la normalización de las tasas de interés en Estados Unidos puede conllevar un reacomodo de los precios de los activos financieros, volatilidad financiera y aumentos en los costos de financiamiento para la región”.

La CEPAL recomienda a los países“seguir fomentando la inversión mediante políticas económicas contracíclicas, con aumentos de productividad además de medidas fiscales activas y ajustes inteligentes… reducir la evasión y elusión –que llega al 6,7% del PIB regional-, cautelar el gasto público, revisar la estructura de subsidios (especialmente a los combustibles) e incentivos y reorientar hacia la promoción de inversiones y gasto social esencial”.

Estados Unidos aprueba alianza Delta-Aeroméxico

El Departamento de Transporte de Estados Unidos aprobó el acuerdo entre Delta y Aeroméxico que permitirá a las aerolíneas operar el más importante mercado de viajes aéreos en Estados Unidos y en México. La pre-aprobación del USDT del 4 de noviembre condicionaba a las aerolíneas a contar con slots suficientes para atender 24 nuevos vuelos diarios del Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México (AICM) al aeropuerto John F. Kennedy en Nueva York.

El 26 de abril de 2016 el Senado ratificó el Acuerdo sobre Transporte Aéreo entre México y EEUU, eliminando las limitaciones al “número de aerolíneas que pueden volar en cada ruta entre los dos países”; la Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica ratificó el 29 de abril el acuerdo de colaboración conjunta entre ambas empresas condicionado a cesión de 8 pares de slots (horarios de aterrizaje y despegue), informó Aeroméxico.

Delta&Aeroméxico operan anualmente +400 vuelos entre México y EEUU con más de cinco millones de pasajeros. AeroMéxico, tiene +600 salidas diarias a +80 destinos en América, Europa y Asia, con servicio anual a +15 millones de pasajeros.  Los vuelos a México proceden de +15 destinos en EEUU, con conexiones mundiales en aeropuertos de Ciudad de México (MEX), Monterrey (MTY), Guadalajara (GDL) y Hermosillo (HMO).

Gasolina subirá 15% al iniciar 2017

Desde el primer día de enero de 2017 la gasolina aumentará 15% por el aumento de los precios de referencia del petróleo y las variaciones en el tipo de cambio del peso, entre otros factores, anunció Roberto Díaz de León, consejero de la Organización Nacional de Expendedores de Petróleo (ONEXPO).

La ONEXPO explica que “los precios de los combustibles tendrán que ir asociados a la cotización del crudo en los mercados internacionales, el tipo de cambio y costos asociados al transporte y almacenamiento, que en realidad nunca los conocíamos y un tema de margen que cada estación de servicio estará incorporando en el precio”.

La ONEXPO también anunció que la gasolina tendrá dos precios, y que se liberalizará primero en el norte del país. La Comisión Reguladora de Energía tiene hasta el 31 de diciembre para definir los plazos de la apertura en el resto de las regiones del país. Entrevistado por Ciro Gómez Leyva, Díaz de León comentó que con la liberalización del precio de las gasolinas, el mercado irá madurando, lo que a futuro podrá reflejarse en la disminución de precios de gasolinas, proceso que tomará tiempo, porque “la tendencia internacional esta al alza”.

Unpredictable Dorian Will Likely Miss Florida, Still Threatens Southeastern US – Newsweek
Unpredictable Dorian Will Likely Miss Florida, Still Threatens Southeastern US – Newsweek

Experts say the track has shifted yet again for Hurricane Dorian.

According to a Saturday morning report from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), a “notable change” to the storm’s path had occurred overnight. Forecasters said a high-pressure system building over the Atlantic Ocean could push Dorian a little more to the north, bypassing Florida altogether, contrary to earlier predictions.

But by Saturday afternoon, experts said Dorian’s track had shifted yet again, this time slightly east, and was forecast to sail northward near Florida’s Eastern coast on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“The track can still shift, either closer to Florida or farther away and small fluctuations can be significant,” Sarah Gorman, a representative from The Weather Company, told Newsweek in an email Saturday afternoon.

Additionally, the latest NHC report, time-stamped 2:00 EDT, said “interests in Southern and Central Florida should continue to monitor the progress of Dorian.”

The report noted that watches may be required for portions of Eastern Florida later on Saturday.

Dorian was centered 280 miles (450 kilometers) east of the Northwestern Bahamas and about 545 miles (880 kilometers) east of West Palm Beach, Florida, early on Saturday.

On the track predicted by the NHC, Dorian will move over the Atlantic to the north of the Southeastern and Central Bahamas on Saturday get near or over the Northwestern Bahamas on Sunday and approach the coast of Florida late Monday night or early Tuesday.

It detailed that hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area across the northwestern Bahamas by Sunday, with tropical storm winds beginning Saturday night. These conditions may include a life-threatening storm surge in Great Abaco and Grand Bahama.

Dorian is also expected to produce heavy rainfall in the Bahamas this weekend and into the middle of next week, according to the NHC. The northwestern Bahamas may experience 10 to 15 inches, with isolated areas receiving as much as 25 inches of water, and the Central Bahamas may see 2 to 4 inches, isolated 6 inches.

The rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods, the NHC warned.

The NHC‘s 11 a.m. advisory noted that the risk of strong winds and storm surge would increase along the coast of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina during the middle of next week.

John Delaney takes shots at Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders during round two of the 2020 Democratic debates

John Delaney reacts to round two of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary debates.

Democratic presidential candidate John Delaney doubled down on his attack against progressive candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, saying their impossible “fairy tale” promises will never happen.

The former Maryland congressman, who took on Warren specifically on the Democratic debate stage on Tuesday, appeared on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning reiterating his message of being a moderate Democrat standing against the rising tide of far-left policies in the primary.

HUCKABEE PRAISES JOHN DELANEY’S DEBATE PERFORMANCE, ‘ENDORSES’ MARIANNE WILLIAMSON

“Either vote for someone who wants to solve problems and has ideas that are workable … or do we nominate someone who’s got a bunch of fairy tale economics or impossible promises, none of which will ever happen,” Delaney said. ‘As I said, they’ll turn off the independent voters and get the president reelected, in my opinion.”

“Either vote for someone who wants to solve problems and has ideas that are workable … or do we nominate someone who’s got a bunch of fairy tale economics or impossible promises, none of which will ever happen.”

— John Delaney

Delaney, who’s polling at just a fraction of Warren and has an uphill battle to ensure he qualifies for later debates, said Warren isn’t the only one proposing impossible solutions.

“It’s not just Elizabeth Warren, it’s Bernie Sanders. If you take what they’re saying to an extreme, what’s next?” he asked. “Free vacations, free housing, free everything. I mean, at some point we do have to pay for these things.”

During the debate, Delaney drew the ire of progressives after saying “Democrats win when we run on real solutions, not impossible promises. When we run on things that are workable, not fairy tale economics.”

Warren attracted applause after firing back, saying “I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for. I don’t get it.”

But Delaney said Warren’s response was a “dishonest, kind of lazy” statement that shows “the problem with the extreme left of the party.”

“When you point out obvious flaws in the things they’re talking about, they say, well, that’s a Republican talking point,” he said. “And I’m like, no, it’s actually a fact that you should be able to defend.”

“I think the same thing with Elizabeth Warren. When I point out that the things she’s proposing are fairy tale economics, she says, oh, you’re not being ambitious enough.”

He added: “if you actually look at the things I’m proposing, which is to actually create universal health care where every American has health care as a basic right, but we allow people to have choices, that doesn’t sound like a plan that’s not ambitious, that actually sounds like a plan that I’ll have to work incredibly hard and use every ounce of political capital to potentially get done.

“So I think it’s just kind of lazy and a dishonest response to people who don’t feel comfortable defending these kind of crazy proposals.”

New ‘Medicare-for-all’ bill would largely outlaw private insurance – Fox News

Progressive Democrats push ‘Medicare for all’ platform

Critics say to provide Medicare for all, taxes would have to go up while quality, choice and access to care would go down; chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reports.

House Democrats on Wednesday unveiled their latest “Medicare-for-all” bill — a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system that would largely outlaw private insurance as part of what critics call a one-size-fits-all government takeover.

The bill was introduced by Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., and is co-sponsored by more than 100 House Democrats including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., showing the extent to which the policy has drifted from the fringe of the party to the mainstream.

BERNIE SANDERS SAYS ‘NO’ TO AMERICANS WHO WANT TO KEEP PRIVATE INSURANCE UNDER ‘MEDICARE-FOR-ALL’

It would move America to a virtual single-payer system, like systems used in the U.K. and Canada, and promises to “prevent healthcare corporations from overcharging for the costs of their services and profiting off illness and injury.”

“It’s time to put people’s health over profit. Our bill will cover everyone. Not just those who are fortunate enough to have employer-sponsored insurance,” Jayapal said in a statement. “Not just children. Not just seniors. Not just those who are healthy. Everyone. Because healthcare is a human right. We will need every single person in the country to help us, to stand with us, to organize and to fight for this.”

“Everybody in, nobody out,” Jayapal said at a press conference, according to The Guardian, where she hailed the bill as a “complete transformation of our healthcare system.”

The legislation, though, revives a controversy over what such a health care overhaul would mean for private insurance. Under the new proposal, private insurance plans could only be used to supplement coverage that is offered by the government, “for any additional benefits not covered by this Act.”

But the text of the proposal makes clear that private policies would largely be eliminated. One clause in the bill makes it “unlawful” for a private health insurer “to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act.” The text also prohibits employers from doing the same.

America’s Health Insurance Plans, an advocacy group for the private health insurance industry, said the vast majority of Americans are happy with their coverage as it is.

“Americans want to improve what’s working for them and fix what’s broken. This bill will hurt patients, consumers, and taxpayers: Americans will pay more, to wait longer, for worse care,” spokeswoman Kristine Grow told Fox News in an email. “Let’s focus on real solutions that deliver real results, not a one-size-fits-all government system.”

Republicans immediately painted the plan as “disastrous,” pointing to studies that suggest the price tag could be as high as $32 trillion.

“Medicare for all will eliminate private insurance, make trips to the DMV look like a Caribbean vacation and cost taxpayers trillions. Good luck to the vulnerable House Democrats who will be forced to defend this $32 trillion boondoggle,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Michael McAdams said in a statement.

The legislation was quiet on the question of price. According to Politico, Jayapal said she plans to release a separate list of suggested funding mechanisms — which include additional taxes or mandated employer contributions.

According to a fact sheet from Dingell’s office, the transition to Medicare-for-all would take two years. The coverage would include all primary care, dental, vision, maternity and newborn care, prescription drugs, mental health services and others. It would also cover “women’s reproductive health services.” The plan would appear to leave little that could be covered by private insurers.

The move marks a radical shift from former President Barack Obama’s original pitch for ObamaCare — where he falsely promised: “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” That statement was eventually labeled “lie of the year” by Politifact.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has not co-sponsored the bill, but has indicated she would allow hearings on the bill in an apparent nod to the party’s left flank. The legislation would almost certainly be dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate.

But the legislation appears to mark part of a broader shift by Democrats, with a number of 2020 presidential hopefuls coming out in favor of Medicare-for-all plans, and some putting their support behind abolishing private health plans.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., was asked by CNN host Jake Tapper in January if people could keep their current health care plan under her Medicare-for-all plan. She indicated that they couldn’t, suggesting she wants to move toward a single-payer system rather than a mere expansion of Medicare.

KAMALA HARRIS UNDER FIRE AFTER CALLING FOR ABOLITION OF PRIVATE HEALTH CARE PLANS: ‘THAT NOT AMERICAN’

“Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care. And you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require,” Harris told Tapper.

“Who among us has not had that situation?” she continued. “Where you got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, ‘Well I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this.’ Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”

On Monday, fellow 2020 hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was asked on CNN if, under his plan, people could keep their private plans.

“No,” Sanders responded mid-question as he shook his head. “What will change in their plans is the color of their card. So, instead of having a Blue Cross/Blue Shield card, instead of having a United Health Insurance card, they’re gonna have a Medicare card.”

Alibaba’s latest gambit in fighting fakes: foster local brands – Yahoo News UK
Alibaba’s latest gambit in fighting fakes: foster local brands – Yahoo News UK

By John Ruwitch

PUTIAN, China (Reuters) – Criticised and even sued by luxury brand Gucci and others for facilitating the counterfeit goods trade, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd has been quietly piloting a scheme to try to curb fakes at source.

In the coastal city of Putian, in Fujian province, Alibaba is working with 17 shoe manufacturers to cultivate home-grown brands online, revitalise a flagging industry and offer would-be counterfeiters an alternative source of livelihood.

Critics say the scheme is misguided and Alibaba should instead focus on scrubbing its online marketplaces of widespread listings of fakes.

But the “Made in China” plan speaks to what proponents say is one of the reasons why there’s been only limited progress in the battle against fake goods in China: a lack of attractive alternatives for those making and hawking goods that infringe on others’ intellectual property rights.

“You can crack down forever and never see an end to it,” said Song Zonghu, who once peddled counterfeit name-brand sneakers and now runs Shuangwei Sporting Goods Co Ltd, one of the firms in the Alibaba programme. “Creating new opportunities while cracking down is the way to go. Everybody has to eat.”

Ni Liang, Alibaba’s senior director of Internet security, says the scheme is a key anti-counterfeit initiative this year. The group plans to expand it to household electronics, toys, bags and other industries, hoping that by building local brands, small manufacturers will turn away from fakes and serve a legitimate sector.

LOGISTICS HUB

Putian is the epicenter of China’s high-quality fake sneaker business, a byproduct of a legitimate footwear industry that employs a tenth of the city’s 3 million people. Copies of Nike, Adidas, New Balance and other brand-name shoes made here are hard to distinguish from the real deal, but sell for a fraction of the price.

The municipal government has cracked down on fakes, arresting 156 people and confiscating about 2 million pairs of counterfeit footwear since 2014, said Wu Haiduan, director of the Putian e-commerce office. He declined to give an estimate of the overall size of the industry, but a grid of Putian’s sleepy daytime streets near government offices comes alive at night, offering hints as to the scale of the issue.

Hundreds of scooters ferry shoes as runners duck in and out of off-brand storefronts or apartment blocks to fetch more boxes. Sellers check each shoe for blemishes, wielding scissors or cigarette lighters to eliminate stray threads and pencil erasers to clean the foam midsoles. Fake certificates and phony credit card receipts are tucked in with the shoes.

Dozens of curbside courier services then wrap and stack the boxes ready to be trucked out by daybreak.

SALES BUMP

Alibaba has trained the shoe manufacturers in online business, helped on quality control and marketing, and run sales promotions. In one 3-day campaign, the shoe brands sold over 4 million pairs – or two every three seconds – worth 480 million yuan ($77.5 million), said Alibaba spokeswoman Crystal Liu.

Sneakers are just the start.

“We’ve received more than 60 requests from other industries,” said Jeff Zhang, head of Alibaba’s domestic retail marketplaces, which include the Taobao and Tmall shopping sites.

For most, the hope is that Alibaba can help re-tool local industry in the face of rising costs and shrinking overseas orders. “They’re all looking for a model that can help them upgrade their local manufacturing,” said Zhang.

Song, the businessman, sees the Alibaba scheme as an economic lifeline, and says the future of his Siweiqi brand canvas shoes, which resemble Converse All-Stars, depends on continued support with sales promotions and exposure. “What we’ve seen so far is just a signal,” he said.

A sales bump is one thing, but building a successful brand is quite another, said Shaun Rein, managing director at marketing firm CMR China. “It’s kind of unlikely to be successful because it’s not so easy just to create a brand out of nowhere,” he said. “For Alibaba, the key is to make a show that they’re trying to crack down on fakes,” he added, noting the company takes a cut on all sales – fake or legitimate.

The American Apparel & Footwear Association, which has lobbied the U.S. government to put pressure on Alibaba, says the company should focus on making it easier for brands to get listings of fake products taken off Alibaba websites.

“The programmes that are going to be the most effective for us are going to be those that really address removing these products from the site,” said AAFA Executive Vice President Steve Lamar, adding that progress has been very slow.

Alibaba removed 12 million product listings last year following complaints from brands, Ni said. He defended the takedown procedures, which critics say are cumbersome, saying that about 40 percent of suspected listings in brand complaints turned out to be genuine or impossible to confirm as fake.

Standing by a motorcycle laden with Nike and Adidas boxes in Putian, Xiao Zhen says business ebbs and flows with the cycle of crackdowns, but won’t dry up any time soon – even if Alibaba can help boost a few successful home-grown brands.

“If everyone could afford famous shoe brands there wouldn’t be anyone making fakes,” she said.
