White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday that Democratic voters may be “racist and sexist” because the front-runners for the 2020 Democratic nomination are white men.

“What is the problem with the Democratic primary electorate, are they racist and sexist?” Conway told reporters on the White House driveway. “Do they not want all these women who are running, all these people of color? Because apparently you’ve got the two old white straight men career politicians in the lead.”

Conway, Trump’s final 2016 campaign manager, spoke a day after former Vice President Joe Biden entered the Democratic field as the front-runner, trailed in second place by socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The sharp-tongued Trump surrogate blasted both Biden and Sanders, while saying they are “not necessarily” Trump’s biggest political threats.

Conway accused Biden of lying by saying he had asked former President Barack Obama not to endorse him and said Sanders’s ideas may not be “part of a democracy.”

“I know [Biden] said that, ‘I asked President Obama not to endorse me, I am too busy getting the endorsement of the firefighters’ … Do any of you believe that? You let him get away with his first lie. Why did you do that?”

Conway suggested asking Biden why some Americans do not have health insurance “nine years after Obama-Biden-care passed.”

“I think Bernie Sanders doesn’t care what his party thinks, is connecting directly with people, and is raising money in small amounts, and goes out and has very specific points of view, which is why he’s got a following,” Conway added. “He’s a lot like Donald Trump, except for good ideas, and ideas that are mainstream, and ideas that are part of a democracy and not socialism.”

“Yes,” Miles replied, according to a screenshot, “it’s based on evidence of actual fraud in PA, AZ, Michigan, and other states and violations of election laws and the Constitution. You will see in the next few weeks.”

The governor’s race was one of several where candidates were waiting to concede until after the results were finalized.

New Jersey’s second most powerful lawmaker, Steve Sweeney, who lost his State Senate seat to a relatively unknown Republican candidate, Edward Durr, had not conceded the race as of Monday afternoon. The Associated Press called the race on Thursday morning, as Mr. Durr maintained a 2,298-vote lead over Mr. Sweeney with all precincts counted, and by the weekend it had become a punchline on “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.

On Sunday, Mr. Trump called Mr. Durr and encouraged him to “have fun with it,” according to a clip of the call posted on Facebook.

At the heart of the delays were election technology used for the first time in New Jersey, enabling voters to cast ballots early, in person, over nine days.

The system used poll books that required an internet connection; in some cases, poll workers were confused by the new process. (At one polling location, for example, workers had not turned on the Wi-Fi router, an election lawyer said.)

Boards of election across the state also struggled to hire enough people to oversee Election Day voting, leading the state to offer an extra $100 to entice workers.

A spokeswoman for the secretary of state has maintained that the problems were not widespread, but they did lead to long lines at some polling sites, creating frustration that spilled out on Twitter. It also prompted a last-minute effort by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey and the state’s League of Women Voters to extend voting hours on Tuesday by 90 minutes. A judge rejected their request.

“We ask the Russian side to stop the shelling, return to the cease-fire and allow us to create humanitarian columns so that children, women and the elderly can leave,” she said. She also asked Russia to allow humanitarian aid such as food and critical medication like insulin to reach these cities.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday asserted once again that Moscow, despite ample evidence to the contrary, wasn’t targeting Ukraine’s civilian population and said that Kyiv was deliberately obstructing the evacuation to keep civilians hostage, according to Tass news agency. He added that Kyiv hasn’t yet indicated when Ukrainian representatives would meet the Russian delegation for the third round of cease-fire talks.

Underlining the severity of the emergency, at least 1.25 million civilians have left Ukraine since Russia invaded 10 days ago, according to the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration, sparking what the agency called the largest humanitarian crisis Europe has seen since World War II. The majority have fled west to the European Union. Poland, which borders western Ukraine, had received 787,300 since Feb. 24, including more than 100,000 on Friday, Polish border guards said.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which U.S. officials had forecast would lead to the capture of capital Kyiv within three days, has run into fierce Ukrainian resistance that caused large Russian losses in troops and equipment. Ukraine’s General Staff said Saturday it was holding the line on most fronts and was beginning a counteroffensive. To make up for these setbacks, Russia has increasingly resorted to indiscriminate bombing and shelling of civilian areas, particularly in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Mariupol.

Russia’s army “has shown its true nature of a terrorist and coward, which is able to attack only the civilian population,” Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said.

In Kherson, the only Ukrainian regional capital occupied by Russia during the conflict, large protests against occupation forces erupted Saturday on the city’s central square. The regional government building was draped in a huge Ukrainian flag, and flag-waving protesters chanted “shame” at Russian troops, some of whom opened fire in the air, trying to disperse the rally.

At some point, according to footage from the city broadcast on Ukrainian TV, a man climbed atop a Russian armored vehicle, triumphantly waving Ukraine’s blue-and-yellow banner as the vehicle tried to move through the city’s streets.

Kherson is a largely Russian-speaking city. One of the reasons that Russian President Vladimir Putin cited as his justification for the war on Ukraine was the alleged discrimination of Ukraine’s Russian speakers. Most of the Russian shelling that destroyed residential blocks has targeted civilians in the country’s Russian-speaking areas. ́

Ukrainian and Russian delegations would meet for the third round of cease-fire talks only if there is progress in implementing the humanitarian corridors and other agreements reached in prior sessions, a Ukrainian negotiator said. He didn’t expect a quick cease-fire, saying that Mr. Putin believes he is winning—a posture that he said wouldn’t change until the West bans the imports of Russian oil and gas. “We have no illusions here, we are sitting across the table from people who want to exterminate us,” the negotiator said.

Mariupol is a major industrial city and port on the Azov sea, home to some 400,000 people. Volnovakha is a much smaller town to the north. Both belong to Ukraine’s Donetsk region, which Russia no longer acknowledges as part of Ukraine after recognizing the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, a statelet Moscow created in one-third of that region in 2014.

“Our main task has always been to protect our people. At a time when our hometown is under merciless fire by the occupiers, there is no choice but to allow its residents to leave Mariupol in safety,” the city’s mayor, Vadim Boychenko, said in a message to his constituents Saturday. He also thanked the city’s defenders for repelling nine days of Russian attacks.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s decision on Friday not to interfere in Russia’s air operations over Ukraine was a sign of weakness and division in the Western alliance that had “hypnotized itself” with fear of Moscow, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a televised address. He spoke after NATO Secretary-General

Jens Stoltenberg

ruled out involving the alliance in combat operations in Ukraine because such a move could spark a full-scale war between NATO’s members and Russia, which possesses a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons.

“All the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you,” Mr. Zelensky said, adding that NATO’s refusal to act had given Moscow a “green light” to bomb Ukrainian cities and villages.

Russia continued pounding residential areas in Kharkiv, Sumy and other Ukrainian cities on Saturday. A Russian shell hit railway cars in the town of Irpin west of Kyiv, making it impossible to evacuate local civilians by rail, local officials said. Heavy battles continued in the area.

One of the Ukrainian cease-fire negotiators, presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak, said at a news conference Friday in Lviv that Russia was seeking a diplomatic solution because it badly miscalculated the mood of the Ukrainian people. Moscow went to war thinking that only some 20% of Ukrainians are hostile to Russia, and the remaining 80% will welcome their Russian brothers with flowers, he said. In reality, he added, some 98% of Ukrainians are determined to fight the invasion.

In a sign of how Ukrainians are uniting against the Russian invaders, more than 66,000 Ukrainian men living abroad returned to the country to pick up arms since the war began, Mr. Reznikov, the defense minister, said.

Despite setbacks in the north, Russian forces made significant advances in southern Ukraine, fanning from the Crimean Peninsula to take Kherson, as well as the city of Enerhodar that houses Europe’s largest nuclear power station, and the Azov sea coastal cities of Berdyansk and Melitopol. Heavy combat continued overnight on the outskirts of Mykolayiv, a Black Sea city that is on the path to Odessa, Ukraine’s biggest port. Russian officials say their military operation is proceeding as planned and achieving the desired results.

Russia drew widespread condemnation after its forces caused a fire at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Enerhodar before taking control of the area, according to local authorities and international observers. That sparked fears that Moscow’s increasingly indiscriminate war could cause a global environmental disaster. Another nuclear power plant is located near Mykolayiv.

Mr. Podolyak said Kyiv had offered Russia to mutually agree not to conduct combat operations in zones within 30 kilometers of nuclear reactors. Russia didn’t accept that proposal, he said.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in an interview with three European newspapers, called for the establishment of a system to ensure the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear-power plants and monitor radiation levels, adding that the Russian attack on the plant put the entire continent at risk.

The fire, extinguished Friday morning, erupted at the Zaporizhzhia power plant’s training facility, Ukraine’s emergency service said. None of the plant’s six reactors were affected and no radiation leaked, officials said. Both sides said Russian troops at the complex weren’t interfering with the plant’s Ukrainian staff.

The skirmish fanned fears of a repeat of the 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, which sent a vast plume of radioactive steam encircling the world and rendered the region surrounding the plant uninhabitable. Russian forces seized the decommissioned Chernobyl plant, which sits near the Belarus border, on the first day of the war and have since then been holding the staff hostage, preventing shift rotations, Ukrainian authorities said.

The U.S. is rushing shipments of Javelin antitank and Stinger antiaircraft missiles to Ukraine via neighboring countries, including via an airfield in southeastern Poland, according to Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Mr. McCaul is visiting Rzeszow, Poland, with seven other lawmakers in a delegation led by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D., N.Y.), the committee’s chairman.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was also visiting Rzeszow on Saturday, a week ago announced that the U.S. would provide up to $350 million in additional military aid to Ukraine, including “lethal defensive assistance” to help Kyiv resist Russian armored and airborne forces.

NATO countries are trying to replenish Ukraine’s stock of weapons in advance of what some officials fear is an effort by Moscow to overrun all of Ukraine and seal its borders.

“Eventually Russia is going to take over the whole country,” Mr. McCaul said, citing one possible scenario for the war.

A senior U.S. defense official said Friday that since Feb. 26, the U.S. had delivered to Ukraine $240 million in weaponry taken from U.S. military stocks.

The administration is asking Congress to provide additional military support to Ukraine. The U.S. has been working closely with Britain, Canada, Lithuania and Poland to coordinate security assistance to Ukraine, the defense official added. All told, 14 countries are providing such security assistance to Ukraine.

Chicago teachers and City Hall reached a labor deal Thursday to end a bruising strike that kept kids out of school for 11 days, officials announced.

Teachers and students will be back in school on Friday. Both the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) announced the deal.

“This has been a long journey,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted Wednesday. “Unfortunately, I think there’s a lot of harm that has been done to our young people.”

Five of the missed 11 days will be made up, according to City Hall.

Class size was a sticking point in the prolonged labor talks, and the city has committed $35 million annually to reduce student-teacher ratio in K-12 classrooms, the union said.

Chicago’s 360,000 public school students comprise the nation’s third largest school system, trailing only New York and Los Angeles.

The teachers union represents more than 25,000 teachers and support staff. Separately, 7,500 members of the Service Employees International Union Local 73 were also out on strike, but had reached a deal on Wednesday.

“We feel like we achieved a lot of things,” CTU President Jesse Sharkey told reporters. “There are some things we didn’t achieve, but it’s not a day for photo-ops and victory laps.”

Lightfoot invited Sharkey to make a joint announcement, but the union president declined in a sign of the lingering bad blood.

“Frankly, our members are still out there on picket lines,” Sharkey said.

“They don’t need to see me smiling with the mayor when in fact what they need to see is we have a tentative agreement, we have a return to work agreement.”

CORRECTION (Oct. 31, 2019, 6:05 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article misspelled the first name of the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. He is Jesse Sharkey, not Jessee.

Enseguida se dispuso un fuerte despliegue policial en el centro comercial.

La policía de la ciudad alemana de Múnich se encuentra a la caza de los autores de un ataque realizado este viernes, que dejó al menos nueve muertos y numerosos heridos de gravedad.

Según reportó el portavoz de la policía, Marcus de Gloria Martins, son al menos tres los hombres que perpetraron el ataque en el centro comercial Olympia, aunque ninguno ha sido identificado.

Las autoridades investigan si uno de los fallecidos es uno de los autores del ataque.

La situación ha sido calificada por las autoridades de “alta alerta terrorista”. No obstante, el jefe de la Cancillería alemana, Peter Altmaier, dijo que todavía no está claro si se trata de un ataque terrorista o del accionar de un grupo de individuos.

A su vez, hasta el momento se desconocen los motivos de los autores y las autoridades dicen carecer de elementos para considerarlo de origen islamista.

Sucedió en la puerta de un McDonald’s ubicado en las inmediaciones de Olympia.

A pesar de que se habían reportado múltiples ataques también en el centro de la ciudad, eso parece haber quedado desmentido.

Las imágenes del terror

“La gente llegaba gritando”, le dijo a la BBC Dominik Faust, un residente local que cuando comenzó el ataque estaba en otro centro comercial cercano.

“Nos contaron que había un tiroteo fuera, entonces la seguridad cerró las puertas de este centro comercial y pidió a todos que fuesen al último piso. Aquí es donde estoy ahora, con otras 150 personas”, contó Faust.

La gente llegaba gritando al centro comercial. Nos contaron que había un tiroteo fuera”

En un video tomado por un transeúnte con un celular se puede ver cómo un hombre armado con una pistola sale de un McDonald’s ubicado en las inmediaciones del centro comercial y comienza a disparar.

A continuación se pueden escuchar numerosos disparos y se ve cómo la gente trata de cubrirse. Por lo que se aprecia en la grabación, el autor de los disparos no grita nada cuando comienzan el tiroteo.

En otro video de celular se ve a quien se supone es un atacante y que podría ser la misma persona, un hombre vestido con una camiseta negra en el techo de un edificio de aparcamientos y parece tener una pistola en la mano. En un momento dado parece que le gritan y él responde: “Soy alemán”.

Sam Pound, camarero de un bar irlandés de Múnich, describió la creciente sensación de pánico que se vive en la ciudad tras la noticia de los disparos en un centro comercial local.

“Estamos en la bodega del bar y nos sentimos bastante seguros, pero cuando sales a la calle se puede escuchar muchas sirenas y helicópteros”, relató.

9

es el número de muertos que informa la policía.

  • 3 SERIAN LOS ATACANTES QUE ESCAPARON.

  • * EL TIROTEO OCURRIÓ EN EL CENTRO COMERCIAL OLYMPIA DE MÚNICH.

“Ataque terrorista”

De Gloria Martins explicó que la policía de Múnich decidió darle el tratamiento de “ataque terrorista” a lo ocurrido para “asegurar la disponibilidad del máximo de recursos posible”.

“Si resulta que es algo completamente diferente, entonces es cierto que movilizamos demasiados recursos pero tuvimos el peor escenario cubierto”, agregó.

De acuerdo con la información de la policía, a las 17:50 hora local (15:50 GMT) recibieron una primera llamada alertando de un tiroteo en las calles aledañas al centro comercial Olympia y después en el interior del recinto.

Los alrededores del centro comercial fueron acordonados enseguida.

Los disparos comenzaron en el interior de un restaurante de McDonald’s.

Ciudad cerrada

Todas las unidades disponibles de la policía de la ciudad de Múnich fueron desplegadas. Además están actuando las fuerzas especiales de la policía federal.

Diversos medios informan que testigos vieron a un hombre armado huir del lugar hacia una estación de metro cercana.

El transporte público de la ciudad fue suspendido. También les solicitaron a los conductores que no usaran las autopistas.

La cuenta de Twitter de la policía de Múnich, que en un principio pedía a la gente que evitara las inmediaciones del centro comercial, ahora solicita a la población resguardarse en sus hogares y evitar los lugares públicos.

Además, insistió en llamar a los ciudadanos a no especular con lo que ocurre.

El presidente de EE.UU., Barack Obama, y su homólogo francés, François Hollande, expresaron su apoyo a Alemania tras el ataque.

Hollande envió un “mensaje de apoyo personal” a la canciller alemana, Angela Merkel, y dijo que se puso a su disposición.

Poco después de que se reportaran los disparos, se lanzó la cacería humana.

“Nuestros corazones están con aquellos que han sido heridos. Alemania es uno de nuestros aliados más cercanos, por lo que vamos a prometer todo el apoyo que pueda necesitar para hacer frente a estas circunstancias“, dijo Obama.

Por su parte, el portavoz de la Casa Blanca, Josh Earnest, condenó los hechos “el los más duros términos”.

También reaccionó el presidente alemán, Joachim Gauck, quien dijo estár “horrorizado” por el “mortífero ataque” en Múnich.

Las fuerzas de seguridad han estado en alerta desde que un inmigrante atacó con un hacha a cuatro personas en un tren en Baviera, el lunes.

Las autoridades habían advertido del peligro de nuevos ataques.

Incredible GoPro footage takes you inside the gunfire-heavy raid that ended drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s six months on the run.

The video, obtained from Mexican authorities, looks as if it’s from an action movie. The camera follows the armed men as they storm the house, unleash grenades and bullets, and search room to room.

The Friday raid was called “Operation Black Swan,” according to the Mexican show “Primero Noticias.” Authorities decided to launch the raid Thursday after they got a tip about where Guzman was sleeping, the show reported.

Seventeen elite unit Mexican Marines launched their assault on the house in the city of Los Mochis at 4:40 a.m., “Primero Noticias” said.

They were met by about one dozen well-armed guards inside who were prepared for a fight, the show said.

The Marines moved from room to room, clearing the house. Upstairs they found two men in one room and found two women on the floor of a bathroom. All were captured, “Primero Noticias” said.

After 15 minutes, the Marines controlled the entire house, according to “Primero Noticias.”

In the end, five guards were killed and two men and two women were detained. One of the women was the same cook Guzman had with him when he was detained a couple years ago, according to “Primero Noticias.”

Eventually the marines determined that the only bedroom on the first floor was Guzman’s and they began pounding on the walls and moving furniture, finding hidden doors, the show said.

His room had a king-sized bed, bags from fashionable clothing stores, bread and cookie wrappers, and medicine including injectable testosterone, syringes, antibiotics and cough syrups, the show said. The two-story house had four bedrooms and five bathrooms. There were flat-screen TVs and Internet connection throughout the house, according to “Primero Noticias.”

The Marines eventually found a hidden passageway behind a mirror, with a handle hidden in the light fixture. The handle opened a secret door, leading down into the escape tunnel, the show explained.

The escape tunnel was fully lit and led to an access door for the city sewage system, “Primero Noticias” said, adding that Guzman had at least a 20-minute head start on the Marines.

The address where Guzman was captured had been monitored for a month, Mexican Attorney General Arely Gomez has said. According to Gomez, Guzman and his lieutenant escaped through that drainage system.

“Primero Noticias” said it obtained surveillance footage showing Guzman and his lieutenant emerging from the manhole cover, where they then stole two cars to flee, the show said.

Guzman was finally caught when he and the lieutenant were stopped on a highway by Mexican Federal Police, the show said.

Authorities took them to a motel to wait for reinforcement. The men were then taken to Los Mochis airport and transfered to Mexico City.

Guzman is now back in prison as his lawyers fight his extradition to the U.S.

The drug kingpin escaped from the Altiplano prison near Mexico City on July 11, launching an active manhunt. When guards realized that he was missing from his cell, they found a ventilated tunnel and exit had been constructed in the bathtub inside Guzman’s cell. The tunnel extended for about a mile underground and featured an adapted motorcycle on rails that officials believe was used to transport the tools used to create the tunnel, Monte Alejandro Rubido, the head of the Mexican national security commission, said in July.

Guzman had been sent there after he was arrested in February 2014. He spent more than 10 years on the run after escaping from a different prison in 2001. It’s unclear exactly how he had escaped, but he did receive help from prison guards who were prosecuted and convicted.

Guzman, the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, was once described by the U.S. Treasury as “the most powerful drug trafficker in the world.” The Sinaloa cartel allegedly uses elaborate tunnels for drug trafficking and has been estimated to be responsible for 25 percent of all illegal drugs that enter the U.S. through Mexico.

    (CNN)Since being informed a week ago by Brian Laundrie’s parents that they had not seen him for days, dozens of local and federal officers have searched high and low in a swampy Florida nature reserve for the 23-year-old following the disappearance and then the discovery of the body of his fiancée Gabby Petito in Wyoming.

      In response to a Justice Department lawsuit over the Texas law, US District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas, last week issued a preliminary injunction halting its enforcement, calling it “flagrantly unconstitutional” and a violation of Roe v. Wade.

      The US Senate has voted to withdraw US military aid for Saudi Arabia’s war on Yemen and to blame the kingdom’s crown prince for the murder of a journalist.

      The historic vote is the first time any chamber of US Congress has agreed to pull US forces from a military conflict under the 1973 War Powers Act.

      Some of President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans defied him to pass the measure with Democrats by 56-41.

      But the resolution is seen as largely symbolic and unlikely to become law.

      What did the Senate actually do?

      The non-binding “war powers resolution” calls upon President Trump to remove all American forces engaging in hostilities in Yemen, except for those combating Islamist extremists.

      The Senate then unanimously passed a resolution blaming Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi’s murder in October, and insisting that the kingdom hold accountable those responsible.

      The US chose to cease refuelling Saudi war planes last month, and Thursday’s resolution – if it were ultimately passed into law – would prohibit that practice from resuming.

      President Trump has consistently defended US business and military ties with Saudi Arabia

      What did senators say?

      Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who co-sponsored the measure with Republican Mike Lee of Utah, hailed the vote.

      “Today we tell the despotic government of Saudi Arabia that we will not be part of their military adventures,” he said.

      He described the outcome as a signal to “the world that the United States of America will not continue to be part of the worst humanitarian disaster on the face of the earth”.

      Republican Senator Bob Corker told MSNBC: “If he was before a jury, the crown prince, he would be convicted in my opinion in 30 minutes.”

      Status quo no longer acceptable

      Analysis by Barbara Plett, BBC State Department Correspondent

      The two resolutions send a strong message that for a majority of senators, the status quo with Saudi Arabia is no longer acceptable.

      They value the strategic relationship but are deeply uneasy about the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. They’ve viewed his foreign interventions with growing concern, especially the human cost of the war in Yemen.

      But it was the grisly murder of Jamal Khashoggi that tipped the scales: it dramatically increased support for the resolution to withdraw US military support for the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen, something that failed to pass earlier in the year. Many senators saw the Khashoggi killing as the blatantly egregious act of an ally that felt immune from rebuke.

      And they were dismayed when the administration stood staunchly by the prince without censure, even though the CIA concluded he probably ordered the killing. Senators want to see the administration shape the alliance as the senior partner, and enforce red lines.

      Senior Republican Senator Bob Corker noted recently that much of the bipartisan activism in the Senate has been fuelled by a perception that there’s no balance between values and interests in the administration’s policies.

      Can this legislation become law?

      President Trump has vowed to veto the measure, and it is unlikely right now to pass the House of Representatives, which on Wednesday blocked a vote on the matter.

      But Senator Sanders said he expects the resolution to succeed once Democrats formally take over control of the House in January following their mid-term elections victory.

      The Trump administration had argued the bill would undercut US support for the Saudi-led coalition against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

      White House officials have emphasised US economic ties to the kingdom. Mr Trump’s adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has continued to cultivate ties with the prince, according to the US media.

      What’s the latest in Yemen?

      Earlier on Thursday, the warring sides met in Sweden where they agreed to hold a ceasefire in the port city of Hudaydah, a key entry point for aid and food imports.

      After the deal was reached, negotiators for both parties shook hands to applause, though they later expressed scepticism.

      United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he hoped this would be the starting point to bring nearly four years of civil strife to a close.

      Since hostilities began in 2014, thousands of civilians have been killed, and around 14 million people have been pushed to the brink of starvation, according to the UN.

      Saudi Arabia buys the bulk of its weapons from the US, Britain and France.

      A participante de um episódio da segunda temporada do programa “Catfish”, Ashley Sawyer, morreu aos 23 anos nos Estados Unidos. Segundo a MTV americana, responsável pela série, a causa da morte é desconhecida.

      “A MTV está profundamente triste por saber que Ashley Sawyer morreu”, afirmou a emissora em nota. “Nossas condolências, pensamentos e orações vão à sua família e aos seus amigos.”

      “Catfish” é uma série-documentário que investiga pessoas com relacionamentos pela internet e que mentem sobre sua identidade aos parceiros virtuais.

      O episódio com a participação de Sawyer foi transmitido nos EUA em 2013. O capítulo mostrou que tanto ela quanto Michael Fortunato, com quem Sawyer tinha um relacionamento digital por sete anos, mentiam um para o outro.

      Ele morreu um mês depois da transmissão aos 26 anos de idade por embolia pulmonar.

      À MTV americana, a irmã de Sawyer, Jessica Ross, afirmou que Ashley havia completado um programa de reabilitação e morava no Alabama.

      Algunos comercios en Caracas atendieron al paro convocado para este jueves por la oposición.

      Venezuela vivió este jueves su primera huelga general de 24 horas en 14 años, con calles y comercios cerrados en varias ciudades del país como protesta contra el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro.

      La coalición opositora Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (MUD) convocó la manifestación como una de las estrategias de la llamada “hora cero”, la escalada contra la Asamblea Constituyente impulsada por el Ejecutivo para el próximo 30 de julio.

      En diferentes zonas del país, negocios permanecieron cerrados y las calles bloqueadas con barricadas. Los servicios de transporte público y privado se paralizaron parcialmente, por lo que muchos venezolanos optaron por caminar.

      Según Gustavo Ocando, colaborador de BBC Mundo en Venezuela, hubo reportes de asaltos y cobros de peajes en estas trancas. “´¡Dale pa’ atrás, dale pa’ atrás!´, gritaban los que las levantaron a quien se acercaban a ellas en moto o automóvil”, reportó Ocando.

      La fiscalía venezolana investiga la muerte de al menos cuatro personas durante las protestas del jueves.

      Eury Rafael Hurtado, de 34 años, recibió cuatro disparos en protestas en la ciudad de Los Teques, en el suroeste de Caracas, y Víctor Márquez, de 34 años, falleció en medio de disturbios en un edificio institucional de la ciudad de Maracaibo, estado Zulia.

      Otro joven de 23 años murió en el estado Carabobo al recibir un impacto de una bomba lacrimógena en el tórax y la fiscalía investiga también la muerte de un adolescente de 15 años en una protesta en el estado Zulia.

      La ONG Foro Penal Venezolano informó que en las últimas 24 horas se han producido alrededor de 367 detenciones, lo que convierte al día del paro en una de las jornadas con más detenidos en el país desde que iniciaron las protestas a principios de abril.

      Durante la jornada se han reportado enfrentamientos entre manifestantes y las fuerzas de seguridad en Caracas y en el estado Zulia.

      La oposición cifró en un 85% el cumplimiento del paro general.

      “Ha marcado un precedente en nuestro país. Una jornada histórica que es la continuación perfecta de lo que fue el desafío político y de desobediencia civil del pasado domingo”, dijo el diputado opositor y vicepresidente del Parlamento, Freddy Guevara, en referencia a la consulta organizada por la oposición el fin de semana, en la que millones de venezolanos mostraron su rechazo al proceso constituyente convocado por Maduro.

      Gustavo Ocando informó que la banca privada no operó y la presencia de clientes en las entidades financieras del Estado fue escasa, a pesar de que el Poder Ejecutivo prometió pagar sus mensualidades a decenas de miles de pensionados y jubilados.

      Policías y manifestantes chocaron en diversas ciudades.

      Contingentes militares ocuparon las calles desde la noche del miércoles en las principales ciudades del país, como Caracas, Maracaibo y Barquisimeto. Los uniformados dispersaron cada foco de barricadas desde la madrugada del jueves.

      “Un fracaso”

      Mientras tanto, el presidente Maduro calificó el paro general como “un fracaso” durante un evento de campaña por la Constituyente en Caracas.

      “Si algún día alguien intentara atentar contra la democracia y contra mí, un golpe de Estado, ese día ustedes verán lo que es un paro absoluto, una huelga insurreccional”, dijo.

      El presidente Maduro calificó el paro general como “un fracaso” durante un evento de campaña por la Constituyente.

      El jefe de Estado también se refirió en términos despectivos hacia Freddy Guevara, a quien identificó como el principal convocante del paro.

      “Ese muchacho estúpido ya tiene su celda lista, la tardanza es la Constituyente. Ya tiene su nombre en la celda para donde va este terrorista. Cuando este estúpido salió a llamar a paro, yo dije: ‘Con qué culo se sienta esta cucaracha’. Terrorista imbécil”.

      En la noche del jueves el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ) de Venezuela anuló el proceso para la designación de magistrados que lleva a cabo la Asamblea Nacional (AN), de mayoría opositora, un día antes de que los diputados juramenten a 33 jueces para sustituir a los de la propia corte, que considera ilegítimos.

      Normalidad en las administraciones

      En zonas populares de Caracas como Catia y la parroquia 23 de Enero el día transcurrió con normalidad, según reportó la agencia Reuters.

      Los encargados de las oficinas públicas dijeron que los ministerios y las entidades del Estado seguían funcionando.

      Empleados de la televisora estatal Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) y agentes de la Guardia Nacional se enfrentaron con manifestantes opositores cerca de la sede del canal.

      Durante la jornada se reportaron enfrentamientos entre manifestantes y las fuerzas de seguridad en Caracas y en el estado Zulia, en el occidente del país.

      En las cercanías de la sede de la televisora estatal Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), en la urbanización Los Ruices (este de Caracas), empleados del canal junto con agentes de la Guardia Nacional Bolivariana (GNB) chocaron con manifestantes opositores que habían puesto una barricada en la vía.

      Freddy Guevara, primer vicepresidente del Parlamento, adelantó que las protestas se incrementarían la próxima semana, cuando el Gobierno prevé realizar las elecciones de la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente.

      Al final de la jornada, Henry Ramos Allup, expresidente de la Asamblea Nacional, dio al jefe del Estado venezolano la clave para que sus opositores cesen la presión de calle y opten por el diálogo: “Diga ‘Constituyente no va'”.

      Dos visiones

      La iniciativa de la oposición llega tras casi cuatro meses de protestas antigubernamentales que han dejado alrededor de 100 muertos.

      La última vez que una huelga general se extendió por al menos 24 horas en Venezuela fue entre diciembre de 2002 y febrero de 2003, y fue promovida por la organización patronal Fedecámaras y algunos trabajadores de la estatal petrolera PDVSA contra el gobierno del entonces presidente Hugo Chávez.

      Más de una década después, la compañía petrolera no apoya el paro impulsado por la MUD y su presidente, Eulogio del Pino, declaró en días recientes que la oposición “no volverá” a gobernar y que la Asamblea Constituyente “no podrá ser saboteada”.

      En octubre del año pasado, la coalición opositora convocó a una huelga general, pero con una duración de solo 12 horas.

      Agentes de la Guardia Nacional Bolivariana (GNB) madrugaron para evitar la instalación de barricadas en Caracas, en el estado Zulia y otros departamentos principales.

      Varios voceros oficiales, como el ministro de Comunicación, Ernesto Villegas, y el diputado Diosdado Cabello, rechazaron la huelga general y aseguraron que todo transcurrió con “absoluta normalidad”.

      Tensión

      La convocatoria opositora al paro general forma parte de las medidas que tomó la MUD tras haber realizado una consulta popular independiente el pasado 16 de julio en la que más de 7 millones de venezolanos, según cifras no oficiales, rechazaron el gobierno de Maduro y su llamado a una Constituyente.

      Algunas calles del país amanecieron con barricadas.

      El presidente Maduro habló de esta votación como una “consulta interna de los partidos de oposición” y el mismo día llamó a los ciudadanos a participar en un simulacro de votación, organizado por el Consejo Nacional Electoral, como preparación a la elección de la Constituyente.

      Como una forma de “acatar la voluntad popular”, los opositores anunciaron el miércoles su plan de gobierno, al que llamaron “Acuerdo de Gobernabilidad” y que firmaron 21 organizaciones políticas.

      En el documento, la MUD detalla que su candidato presidencial no podrá ser militar ni tendrá el derecho a la reelección.

      Las próximas elecciones presidenciales están estipuladas para fines de 2018.

      El gobierno de Maduro ha recibido presión de gobiernos de otros países, que tildan su iniciativa de crear una nueva Constitución como ilegítima y antidemocrática.

      En ciudades como Caracas muchas avenidas amanecieron desiertas.

      La fiscal general de Venezuela, Luisa Ortega Díaz, también se ha pronunciado en contra de los supuestos abusos cometidos por las fuerzas de seguridad contra los manifestantes y ha cuestionado la legitimidad de los magistrados del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ).

      Las protestas iniciaron el pasado abril precisamente porque el TSJ emitió dos polémicas sentencias en las que asumía temporalmente todas las competencias correspondientes a la Asamblea Nacional, controlada por la oposición.

      Aunque días después el TSJ suprimió varias partes de los fallos, las manifestaciones continuaron en todo el territorio nacional, a menudo con saldos de heridos, detenidos y fallecidos.

      Venezuela se enfrenta a una aguda crisis económica, con escasez de alimentos básicos y medicamentos que el gobierno atribuye a una “guerra económica” contra el país.

      The USS John S McCain prepares to leave Yokosuka in Japan in 2018

      The White House asked for a warship named after Donald Trump’s late rival, Senator John McCain, to be obscured during the president’s trip to Japan, several reports have claimed.

      Plans to move the USS John S. McCain out of view are said to have later been scrapped by senior Navy officials.

      Mr Trump denied making the request, tweeting that he “was not informed about anything” related to the ship.

      The Navy Chief of Information also posted to say it “was not obscured”.

      The tweet – its first in five years – added that “the Navy is proud of that ship, its crew, its namesake and its heritage”. However, the statement did not deny that an initial request was made.

      The White House has made no official comment on the matter.

      The ship, which is docked in the Japanese city of Yokosuka, has been named for the late Mr McCain – a military veteran and the Republican senator for Arizona with whom Mr Trump had a contentious relationship.

      Quoting anonymous Navy officials, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Washington Post newspapers and Reuters news agency all reported that the White House asked for the ship to be obscured during the visit.

      The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the claims, cited an email between US military officials which said that the ship “needs to be out of sight”.

      The New York Times also reported that the warship’s crew members, who have “USS John S McCain” on their caps, were sent home for the long weekend, along with the crew from another ship.

      When some of them turned up to watch the speech anyway, the paper added, they were turned away.

      But Acting US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan told reporters that he had been unaware of the incident, adding: “When I read about it this morning, it was the first I heard about it.”

      The Navy has said there was nothing untoward in giving the crew time off.

      Meghan McCain, Mr McCain’s daughter, tweeted in response to the reports: “Trump is a child who will always be deeply threatened by the greatness of my dad’s incredible life.”

      She added: “There is a lot of criticism of how much I speak about my dad, but nine months since he passed, Trump won’t let him RIP. So I have to stand up for him. It makes my grief unbearable.”

      Trump’s bitter feud with McCain

      This all goes back to President Trump’s hostile relationship with the warship’s namesake.

      Senator McCain was a military veteran who, during the Vietnam war, was imprisoned and tortured for five-and-a-half years. He also unsuccessfully ran for president twice, most recently against Barack Obama in 2008.

      But it was his outspoken criticism of Mr Trump, starting in 2015, that led to a bitter rivalry between them.

      During the campaign for the 2016 presidential election, Mr McCain – a fellow Republican – publicly withdrew his support for Mr Trump, accusing him of “firing up the crazies” with his views on immigration.

      Less than a month later, President Trump told a campaign event: “He’s a ‘war hero’ because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

      The divide between them didn’t end with Mr Trump’s election victory, however.

      The late senator John McCain, pictured in 2017, had an ongoing feud with President Trump

      A year into his presidency, in July 2017, Mr Trump introduced a bill to repeal his presidential predecessor’s landmark healthcare legislation, the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare).

      The Republicans almost succeeded but, as he battled brain cancer, Mr McCain voted no – scuppering the party’s bid to undo the act.

      Even after Mr McCain’s death in August 2018, President Trump has spoken openly of his dislike of the late senator. In March this year, he said: “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.”
