Earlier in the day, Allegra Stratton, a senior aide, resigned after a video emerged on Tuesday of her and other aides joking last year about whether an illicit party had been held.

When the government outlined its contingency measures earlier this year, it said that it hoped not to have to use them. But officials added that, if they had to institute the plan, it would only ask people to work from home for a limited period.

“The government recognizes this causes more disruption and has greater immediate costs to the economy and some businesses than the other Plan B interventions. A final decision would be made based on the data at the time,” a statement said at the time.

Even before the latest announcement, Mr. Johnson had already taken one of the contingency steps — making the wearing of masks mandatory on all public transportation in England as of last week. Britain has also tightened restrictions on travelers entering the country since the Omicron variant was first reported.

Britain’s Health Security Agency, which monitors the coronavirus outbreak in the country, released new data on Wednesday that it said “suggests that Omicron is displaying a significant growth advantage over Delta” meaning that the new variant is likely to outcompete Delta and become the dominant variant in Britain.

“It is increasingly evident that Omicron is highly infectious and there is emerging laboratory and early clinical evidence to suggest that both vaccine-acquired and naturally acquired immunity against infection is reduced for this variant,” Susan Hopkins, the chief medical adviser to the agency said in a statement. “It is therefore absolutely critical that we all do everything that we can to help break the chains of transmission and slow the spread of this new variant.”

A federal judge in Oregon refused to suspend President Donald Trump’s recent executive order that put a 60-day ban on green cards for most immigrants due to the coronavirus crisis.

The ruling came from U.S. District Judge Michael Simon, who sided last fall with the same plaintiffs when they sued over a separate immigration proclamation issued by the president. That policy would deny visas for people who can’t pay for their own health insurance or foreseeable medical costs, although Simon temporarily stopped its implementation. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is now weighing that injunction.

Simon also granted the plaintiffs, who are immigrants, class-action status in that case, and in this new petition they had hoped to piggy-back on his previous ruling. They contended that the coronavirus-related freeze on visas could delay applications for some of these same immigrants whom Simon backed last fall.

La profesora llamó a la Policía, lo llevaron al hospital y allí tuvieron que amputarle el pene. El principal sospechoso es el novio de la mamá.

Allegados a la familia aseguran que la madre había dejado al niño de año y medio bajo el cuidado de su novio, quien lo entregó en el jardín con heridas en los genitales hechas con un bisturí.

“La profesora, al ver que el niño no se calmaba y lloraba, le quitó los pañales y fue cuando se dio cuenta de que estaba sangrando y que le habían cortado sus partes íntimas”, dijo un testigo.

También afirmó que, pese a la intervención de los médicos, el miembro del niño tuvo que ser amputado.

Bienestar Familiar intervendrá en el caso para restablecer los derechos del menor y determinar qué pasará con su custodia.

Se espera, además, medidas por parte de las autoridades judiciales.

The mother of Samantha Josephson, the University of South Carolina student who was killed after she mistakenly got into a car she thought was her Uber ride, pleaded with the judge to put suspect Nathaniel David Rowland away for life. Police have charged the 24-year-old man with Josephson’s kidnapping and murder.

At a court hearing for the 24-year-old Rowland on Sunday, Marci Josephson was emotional as she read a statement, in which she said, “I cannot fathom how someone could randomly select a person, a beautiful girl, and steal her life away … There are no words to describe the immense pain his actions have caused our family and friends. He’s taken away a piece of our heart, soul and life.

“It sickens us to think that his face was the last thing that my baby girl saw on this Earth. Does he even know her name?

“He should never be given the right to walk free again for what he did to my daughter, or given the opportunity to hurt anybody else … My daughter’s name is Samantha Josephson. Don’t ever forget her name. Samantha Josephson.

“Shame on him.”

Last night, hundreds of students held a vigil to pay their respects, reports correspondent David Begnaud.

Josephson was last seen Friday after a night out with her friends. After separating form her roommates, she mistakenly got into a black Chevy Impala thinking it was her Uber. Police say not only did she get into the wrong car, but that she could not get out because the suspect had the child safety door locks on.

At about 1:30 Friday afternoon Josephson’s friends reported her missing. Later that day, turkey hunters discovered her body more than 65 miles away in a secluded, wooded area.

Early Saturday morning officers pulled over Rowland while he was driving the Impala they had been looking for. He fled on foot before officers caught him.  Police say they found blood, window cleaner, bleach, and the victim’s cellphone in his car.

According to a source, Uber does not have a record of any driver with the suspect’s name.

Those who knew the 21-year-old college senior remember Samantha Josephson as having an infectious smile and contagious laugh. “She had a personality and a presence that lit up a room every time she entered,” said one.

“She truly was the love of my life,” her boyfriend said.

Violet Moss Brown, que este año se había convertido en la persona más longeva del mundo, falleció el viernes a los 117 años y 189 días en un hospital de su natal Jamaica, informaron las autoridades de la isla y sus familiares.

“Es triste, pero esperaba algo así en cualquier momento”, dijo Barry Russell Brown, hijo de Moss Brown, al diario jamaiquino The Star en referencia a la avanzada edad de su madre.

Insistió sin embargo que el deceso no dejó de ser una sorpresa para la familia e incluso para los médicos, debido al ánimo y la buena salud de la que gozó su progenitora.

Moss Brown, también conocida cariñosamente como “Tía V”, falleció la tarde del viernes en el hospital Fairview Medical Centre en Montego Bay, donde permanecía interna desde el 9 de septiembre debido a una arritmia cardiaca y deshidratación.

“Jamaica está orgullosa de usted ‘Miss Vy’ (sic), usted es una mujer inspiradora”, escribió el primer ministro Andrew Holness en su cuenta en Facebook para anunciar el deceso de Moss Brown y ofrecer sus condolencias.

Holness difundió fotografías de cuando en abril de este año visitó a Moss Brown para imponerle la Medalla de Gratitud del gobierno, luego de que días antes se había convertido en la persona más longeva del planeta.

“Su fortaleza y la gracia de Dios la han sostenido durante un siglo, una década y sietes años. Usted es una mujer bendecida, que Dios continúe fortaleciéndola por muchos, muchos años”, le había dicho Holness en aquella ocasión, según escribió el propio primer ministro.

La mujer nació el 10 de marzo de 1900 en la comunidad rural de Duanvale, 100 kilómetros al noroeste de Kingston, donde se casó con Augustus Gaynor Brown, trabajó y residió a lo largo de sus 117 años.

Durante su juventud, Moss Brown trabajó en los cañaverales, cortando caña, y como empleada doméstica, de acuerdo con su biografía difundida por la fundación creada en su nombre.

Con Brown procreó cuatro hijos y dos hijas. El mayor de sus hijos, Harland, falleció en abril a los 97 años, cuando ostentaba el título de hombre más longevo del mundo con uno de sus padres aún vivo.

Moss Brown se convirtió en la persona más longeva del mundo el 15 de abril de este año, cuando falleció la italiana Emma Morana, nacida el 29 de noviembre de 1899. El libro de Récords de Guinness recoció a Moss Brown el pasado 3 de septiembre.

Tras la muerte de “Tía V”, la japonesa Nabi Tajima ocupa la posición de persona más longeva, con 117 años y 44 días.

Ni la Fundación Violet Moss, ni la familia ni el gobierno de Jamaica habían ofrecido el domingo detalles sobre el funeral de “Tía V”. (I)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Castillejos could not immediately be reached for comment.

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

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

    URGENTE | La SIDE de Parrilli busca frenar la salida NOTICIAS

    La Secretaría de Inteligencia solicitó una medida cautelar para impedir la próxima tapa de NOTICIAS.


    Oscar Parrilli, titular de la Secretaría de Inteligencia solicitó una medida cautelar para “evitar que NOTICIAS siga violando la Ley de Inteligencia”. La medida consiste en pedir a los denunciados que se abstengan de “realizar publicaciones que impliquen la continuidad del delito atribuido, obligando a los mismos a abstenerse de revelar información a la que de cualquier otra forma pudieran haber accedido y cuya divulgación infrinja los artículos de la Ley 25.520”.

    La denuncia presentada por Parrilli sostiene que “La línea del medio gráfico involucrado evidencia un deliberado desprecio hacia la norma infringida”.

    Según la agencia oficial Télam “fuentes judiciales confirmaron que el escrito presentado este mediodía se aclara, citando jurisprudencia de la Corte, que la denuncia no afecta a la libertad de expresión”.
